JOURNAL OF A 'TRIP TO PARIS. (No: X IX.) A stranger finds considerable difticritti ti iring his, way about ,Paris from various causes, ' thdttgh . it is but justice to the people to say . , tliat they not only shot a readiness, hut an anxiety, to give all the inrorthation possible to set you right. • One of the difficulties - which .pntiles an English man at first is, however, very readily surmounted; it arises otit of the mode of numbering the houses, which is not done consecutively all along,one side ctf a - street as in LoudOrt, but,. if I may use the transVerseiy, or zigzag, that is, No. lon the right hand, and,NO. 2 on.the left, and so on with 3,4, 5,6, to the end. But the chief incon veniency in this respect is found in the names of. the streets themselves. These have undergone several mutations : there are the ancient mthres, the revolutionary names, theimperial names, and, last of all, the new alteration at this moment back again to the Royal Bourbon Nomenclature. Now, though . ,a Parisian Citizen may know very well, for example, that the Place Louis Quiuze, the Place de la Revolution, and the Place de la Concorde, are one and the same place 4hat the 'Rae Napoleon and the Rue de Loniis le Grand' are tlie same street—that the 'Place des Vosges (so finely fortified by 13UONAPARTE) is ' rci-decant Place Royale (never fortified -by a King of France)---,that the PlaceDessaix . is syno- Dymous to the Plac, Dauphine—that .the Palais Bourbon' is also the Palais du Corps Legislatif— and a thou Sand Other- changes of-this kind, the variety of appellations indifferently given are very troublesome to those unacquainted by custom with this confusion of opposite names.' In my last, I noticed all the Bridged' upon the Seine, but there are still a number of objeets.on, . and adjoining the River, which deserve a travel= ler's attention. Qne of the cargoes floating on the Seine, in the greatest quantity, is of a kind little seen upon the Thames, viz. charcoal ; of which htindreds of great lighters, enlarged with wickerwork sides, are moored off every bridge and bank. On the Pont Neuf, the .Statue of nENRI I.V. Which once adorned it, had been thrown •down during the tempestuous times through which France has passed ; and,BuowA. rARTE, ever identifying himself with the coun try, had made extensive preparations for erecting a Military Obelisk to the honour of the French 'arms, or,: in Other words, to his own ambitious glory. This design, however, in turn, gives Way to the happy course which events have recently taken, and HEN'ni IV. is to be restored to his commanding station on the centre arch of hisan cient edifice. Passing a little way np the - river, I observed a small building liked neat Porter's - Lodge,—it was open, and many persons going in and coming out. Curiosity made me one of-their number, and I was a. good deaL shocked with the •sight which presented itself to, me on - entering. 7 — This building is called the Monte, and in one re spect answers the purposes of our watch hotises and bone-houses ; for it is the universal depository of all dead bodies' found unowned about this populous city. It is, therefore; a very nieful, though a very'disgusting place. The corpses are eicposed during three days, at the end of which time, if they- have not been recognized, and taken away by the relatives or friendS of the deceased, they are car ried off by the Police, and buried in, the common burying-ground with very little ceremony. There were three bodies lying to be claimed at the time saw the Morne- 7 -on . e, a very pov,werful-looking man, who bad been drowned ; another, who had cut his throat ; and the third without any deci sive proofs of the manner in which he came by bis,death. They were, as the custom is; exposed naked, with a small covering over their middle, on inclined fratues:Of wood, which 'stood witkin an iron railing ; their clothes being hung up on pegs over their heads. The drowned man ap peared from his habiliments to be a Russian gre-: . nadier—the Suicide was a most horrible looking object. I was glad to hurry out of the place,.knd wanted a little Tau -de vie to . restore my nerves, which' were shaken by this unexpected and dis agreeable sight. • 'Moving about most erratically, as I put in rely Claim to do at the beginning of our correspond ence, 1 take leave to transport you front this gloomy abode to the Opera Condone, which I visited after dining at VEaY's, in the Palais Royal . This Theatre is situated in the Rut F6ydeau, and is somewhat more a-kin (though superior), - to the summer anrusenrents at the Lyceum, than to ally other of our London Theatres. It is devcited .to represe s ntations of, common life 'in Operas, of which the music is not surpassed,' eith e i position 'or execution, by any public place in PariS. There is nothing tragic in its pieces, nor 'any thing more serious .than cadian gamhtils, and tue -jea,ownes Or rinar - rels,of rural lovers sand rivals. This evening was one of great attraction, on account of tice.presence of the Emper(ir ALEXANDF:II , void the : Duke_ de 130tti. They Ivere received, on their entrance', with tallith/m.l+d applause; and loyal , shouts of " Vice l'Empeieur !"- and " Five' le for once. assimilated' in France to an honest end. Between the acts the Emperor, went from his box, in the centre of the House, to compliment the Duke ; who sat in one of the Stage Boxes ; which visit was afterwards returned by his Royal High ness. Nor was this the only difference of na tional manners which occurred to lee during - the evening :—I was "gratified with , a speciinen of French gallantry, which it would not be amiss to imitate in England. Before the curtain drew up, the Pit rose unanimously, and the cry of Place aux- liames ! Place aux Dames !' 'resounded earough the House. Such a compliment to the Ladies was kindly bestowed, at a time whqn every. one was so desirou's or st:eitt.g the Hera of Russia. In consetpaence 'of this manifestation of the gene ral wish, all the Gentletnen wlro occupied front rows in the boxes retired, and made roost .for the fair sex, who in return bowed most con -deScendingly to their friends below—Sonic of the old Beaux showed an English spirit, and were very gird , / in resigning their, places, but theclamotit' finally ousted-calm all, one after'the other, and Shoutsorlaughter and.derision'marked the retrcat of the, latest occupants of front. seats. This letter has extended to .such a length, that I shall not trespass upon.you at present with a de- - scription.of the Perfurruntices, nor of the"Theatre, which is`rather larger than tbeAlayntarket; and the audience-pare not better in point.of decora tion, though the lobbies, passages, &c. are far more commodious. The ,priees. • are—orchestra, and first row of' boxes,'' 6-fr. 60 - centimes'; first galleries, third and fifth rows of boxes, -4 fr. 40 cents.; second galleries, 2 fr. 75 cents. ; pit, 2 . fr. 20 cents. rind Paradis (aljas the resort of the Gods), 1 fr. 63 centimes. Upon the al lotment of „prices and mode of entrance into the Parisian Theatres I - AA send you some remarks hereafter'---4n the-mean time, I am, &c. VIATOR. AMERICAN PAPERS. BALTIMORE, RINE 10.—Yesterday, for the first .tiine; atter a lapse of 20 years, appeared the French white cockade, - and the insignia of the . - Cioss of St. Louis.. Those signs inspired every where but one sentiment of respect and admira tion. General \Villot was the first.who appeared 'in this city with the. ancient decorations' of royalty. Mav such an example of devotedness to his legitimate l SOverei,,. , u be followed by all French men,. who, like himself, have served their country with sincere affection ! WASHINGTON, JU.NE 13.—The dispatches from France, by the Olivier, have been. received by GRyeynment, and by Mr.Serrurier: Those to Go vernment have not transpired. • The Intelligencer may perhaps contain something about them ; Mr. Sunnier has been confirmed as Minister of France near . the American Government, by the new French Authorities ; and it is , believed, that he has been commanded to assure the President of the continued good 1611 and regard of France for the United States; and of the,hereditary friend ship of the Bourbons towards , us. It is not to he doubted that - thenew order of things in France is highly auspicious to the commercial relations be tween her and America, and will conduce to the more speedy,restoration of general cOmmerce, if not of peace ; between us and England. Asapeace in _Europe is almost certain, and as practical end of impressment follow, our differences with the enemy will, it is believed, be adjusted at the general Congress, whatever inso lence the British may, in the mean time exhibit towards us. Private letters to the 20th April have been re-; ceived by Mr. Crawford, by the Olivier. ' tle bad _dined at the house of Marbois, one of the new French Authorities, in company with Lords Cas tlereagh and Cathcart. • This looks well: Au honourable peace is the more desirable, to us now, as, having made a fair 'experiment of the efficiency of a navy in defending our , commercial and maritime rights ; a few years of repose and prosperity will enable us to-increase it to an extent capable of bidding deflance- to the hostility of, Eng land, and of causing our claims on all occasions to be respected. • The accounts from Joshua Barney, command ing the United' States flotilla in the Chesapeake to the•Secretary.Of the Navy, come down "to the 14th of June. They state, that there were actions in the Patuxent on the 9th and 10th of June, in Which the Britis . h were compelled to retreat, and to abandon an,lS s -gun schdcier, but which was afterwards recovered. Several British barges landed about 200 men at that place at noon; and set tire to, and burnt a large ship and a brig on the stocks, besides several other vessels. It Was stiphlated that no injury should be done to the houses, or private property. PufLADELPH lA, JUNE apprehended the enemy will soon attack Boston. The people are alarmed. A large suM•in specie has been re, moved from the -State Bank into the country., Nine • coasters have been burnt near Bdston.—A post script to a letter dated Charleston, 7th June, to a merchant in this city, says The Southern Mail of this morning brings a report of the BritiSh hav ing landed 2000 troops 'in West Florida.' ALBANY, JUNE 17.—Sir James \Teo, learning that the new ship Superior was finished, has raised the blockade of Sackett's Harbour, and returned to Kingston. Our squadron have been out fora few hours, in order to get the trim of the yea' ships. • The official confirmation of the capture of the Essex Frigate was received this tnornitag at the Admiralty. 'Our Naval News contains a 'short statement of the facts, to which tve'can only add, that Captain TUCKEIIt, of the Cherub, was severely wounded, and the First Lieutenant of the Phcebe killed. Our lass in,men was very small. The following intimation which bas been 'sent 'to us with our usual Naval News -most certainly requires immediate and satisfactory elucidation. ThatAtherican privateers swarm even in the Eu ropean seas, and do great injury to our trade, is notorious, and it does seem ,probable that their success could _not he so marked,' either in- making captures or escaping from pursuit, unless they hod ports to run to Mitch nearer than across the Atlantic. " It is now quite certain, . notwithstanding what has been said to the contrary, that American privateers are protected, armed, and victualled in the French Ports, (ride 'our Fal mouth letter received to-day), and it is further known that the q'asp American privateer, which captured the l‘eindee;-; -was refitted at L'Orient eight days ago." Into the truth of this' assertion, inquiry will of course be made, and such representations or mea sures resorted to, as will put an end to similar prae- ticcs in future. We this day continue our. Extracts- from'Ame rican Papers. The affairs of Europe have given net , life and spirit to the Fecteralists, and filled the Republican Admirers of Despotirn .with dis 'may. In • their despair they vent confessions which -we t'rust will not be disregarded by this Country, and we will know what kind of a treaty-to conclude with those who tell us before-hand that peace 'is only desirable " as having made a fair experiment' of the effi ciency of a navy in defending our commercial and maritime rights ; a few years of repose and pro sperity will enable us to increase it to an extent capable of bidding 'defiance to the. 'of Eng land, and .of causing OUR CLAIMS on all occasions to.bei - espected."—Tliese .Claims must he defined-,! The Joseph, CRIPLIN, :is arrived in the Downs from Boston, in 20 days. The Congress at Vienna will assemble on the Ist of October. It will be seen by our Com mons Report, as well as by tine scope of all -the Foreign New; lately received, that every Power in'Europe is to. keep up (by 'Convention subse 4nent to the Treaty of Chatnont) a respectable military force till the affairs of the Continent are finally settled.
