4, The Royal Palace of the Tuilleries, is so called from fi;ife, •a tile, because 'it is built, of bricks, manufactured from the earn: pu wl4cli it staacis. which they *ere created—to enlarge, 'inform, and stimulate the human mind. 'The room in which the books are disposed, is of the fOrm of an oblong square, three sides of which it embraces. I paced one of the longest, And round it 97- paces. Among the most -promi 7 neat objects of curiosity are . two prodigious , globes, which stand on the ground-floor, and have circular apertures cut througli. the ceiling above, which admit almost a hemisphere into the room on the first floor, -in which the Li brary is situated. These .machines were made abotielso years ago, by an. Artist of the name of CORONELLI, and are nearly 4 French feet in cir cumference. I observed upon the terrestrial sphere, that the name of " New France" was given to the Canadas. ,At the other end of the apartment into which these unwonted visitors thrust their heads (con verting the cicling into- an equator), is a very beautiful plan of the Deserts of Egypt and the Pyramids. It is formed of sand upon a large table, like a billiard table, and some French troops and people of the cciantry are introduced, to give ani mation to the dreary scene. The whole has a • fine effect, and is an exact copy from nature. — This is one of the results of the Expedition to Egypt, iu which science went band. and hand with war, literature was leagued with plunder, and the arts proceeded' on a crusade in company with ambition. There i n s also in this place, an antique, and somewhat fantastic, but amusing and curious, representation of Mount Parnassus, upon a large scale, in bronze. I did not know before how well brazen faces became the Muses. A statue of VoLTA.a.a, in a sedentary position, by BoupoN-, is another of the most visible ornaments of this Library. It is ably executed. Among the Antiquities, is a very entertaining awl interesting series of French dresses, since the time of CLovis.' It was no easy, matter, one would think, to preserve the costume of a people so various and Varying in their fashions as those of this country ; and, in truth, this col lection must rather be received as furnishing a general outline than a picture filled-up in detail. I •was tempted to take for my study a dress of the age of Louis I. and send it you as a pattern of the modern Gallic habilifnents ; but upon recol lection, I thought that the system of hoaxing had had enow of votaries in your part; without add ing to the listof : its professors.—Yours, VIA 1 Oh. JOURNAL OF A TRIP TO PARIS. , • (No. .) • , (11*, IrOnday. Yesterday, the day of rest to other parts of the world, was the day of•business here ; of the com 7 111011 business of traiftc, and the more active pur suit of the business of pleasure, which, as I have before observed,' is the staple commodity at Paris. I went in the morning to ►he King's Chapel in the 'Fuji!cries ; it occupies the right wing of the front of ,the Palace *, i. e. the wing furthest from the Seine. This- is a handsome private place of worship, somewbat resembling Whitehall, hut ninch smaller, and is still bril liadtly painted on the roof and walls, with eagles and other imperial ornaments. The Choir is ad mirable, and divine service was performed- in a very impressive manner. • From Chapel I followed my customary ram; blink course through the streets, noticidg and not ing all that struck me as curious, though perhaps little worthy of observation. Among other of these little affairs, I may mention the large dogs which abound. in this Capital. They appear as remarkable to a stranger, as the monstrous horses in London, like which, they are gerierally employ ed in drawing loads, fully proportioned to their strength.. They look of the 'Mastiff and New found land breed, are excessively numerous, and of im mense size :—so' much so, that a prevalence of hydrophobia would be worse than a plague of Egypt upon the Parisians. • The wh:m of this people struck me in the name of a Hotel, in one of, the inferior streets, the if Hotel des Milords ci-dev . ant,"-7-the Tavern for would-he great-folks,—l do not recollect so sar castic an Inn in all England. It.seerned however to he well frequented, from which, I presume, that the Would-be's here, as elsewere, are by no means the most limited Class in society. • In the afternoon, I again walked in the Gar dens of the Tuilleries, a crowded scene of endless ob , erration and amusement, lvhere the holiday habits, dresses, and manners of the people,. are offered to the observant eye of the traveller. I, however, dwelt enough on this subject before. In the evening I looked into the Olympic Circus, which resembles ASTLEY'S Amphitheatre in horse ritanship, leaping through fire-balloons, &c. The most novel part of the entertainments consisted in the performances of two beautiful stags, which galloped luweu ill a carriage, and after being liberated from the harness, one of them plunged through a large balloon on -fire-- a singular act for so timid an animal. This morning the first object of my inspection was the 13ibliothcgiie du Roi—the two latter words having just been substituted, over the entrance, for the single wort r" Imperiale." This noble library is situated in the Rite de Richelieu, nearly opposite to the Opera-house; and is in every respect worthy of a great nation. indeed, it is impossible for an Englishman to visit or speak of the Institutions for the promotion of Literature in France, with- • out experiencing a secret pang of mortification and of regrets, that, with all its wealth, magni- . ficence, and power, there is nothing like them in his own country. The facility, of access afforded to strangers, the magnitude and valne of the collec tions,' the excellence of their arrangement' and keeping, the . unreservedness with which their choicest stores are unlocked to the researches of students of all nations, as well as to natives, are, in truth, worthy ,of our imitation. In France , these opportunities are valuable : in England, where the light of science is so generally diffused over the mass of the, people, they would be be yond all value! This .Royal Library has been en riched by gifts from all the Kings of France, from the time 'of its founder, CHARLES V. who alone . presented it with 900 manuscripts, of dates an - terior to the invention of printing. From Louts it'obt`ained the library of. the celebrated PFTRARCH ; FRANCIS I. gave it a number of cu• rims Greek manuscripts; HENRY H. enacted, that . it should receive a copy of every book printed in France ; and the Minister COLBERT augmented it by no fewer than 60,000 volumes and 8000 ma nuscripts. Through these donations, and - a zealous attention to its interests-for many years, this stu pendous Library now• contains above 350,000 printed works, and 70,000 manuscripts, many of them the most rare .and precious in the world. It • is also rich in engravings, arid in a splendid ca-. • hiifet of medals and antiquities. And what use does it make of these glorious acquisitions ? Are t h e y boarded• in secret, and shut in from the world like_ the worthless wealth of the Miser ? No ! They are open to every one and every day, under proper and liberal regulations, these stores of human intellect are o ffered to fulfil the Purpose for DUTCH MAIL. GHENT, SEPT. 1.-It . seems that for some days past there is not the same good understanding as be fore between the English and American Plenipoten tiaries to the Congress ; the reason is not known, but it is hoped that this coolness will be of short duration. To-day there is a splendid entertain ment at the hotel of the AmeriCan Ministers, to which the Chief Magistrates are invited. A num ber of Austrians who were prisoners in Fiance are to pass' shortly through this department. _Many English and Hanoverian -troops are arrived here. The latter do duty in common with the Belgians till these last march away, for orders are every moment expected ; it is said that •Prince Ernest of Aremberg will command all the Belgian forces in our provinces. k BRUSSELS, SEPT. I .-The arrival of Hanoverian troops in Belgium continues without interruption, and will last the whole month of September. Se velal regiments repair to Ghent, and to the fron tiers of Flanders. BRUSSELS, S,ErT..3.—By order of the Sovereign Prince, dated the 21st August, it is directed that all regulations for the Dutch troops shall be con sidered as equally applicable to the Belgian troops, with this difference, that all such orders shall be issued either in the French language, or in that of the country. BRUSSELS, - SEPT. 4.—The -Hanoverian troops which . continue to arrive, march to Tournay, Courtray, Menin, Ypers, Verume, and NieUport. All these places will have numerous Hanoverian and English garrisons. Brussels and Ostend will be garrisoned by .English only. Ghent by one English and two Hanoverian regiments. The 2d Belgian infantry, and - the chasseurs of Prince Er nest of Arcrnberg, remain in Flanders till they are completely organised. The 4th regiment leaves Tournay and marches to Mons, where a battalion of chasseurs will be incorporated with it. The regiment now at Nannir goes to Hasse's, and the Ist regiment is to leave Brussels. The Belgian regiments are to consist each of three battalions of 1050 men, including officers ; as soon as the present regiments - are complete; new ones are to be formed. The regulations for the cavalry and artillery are not settled. All our national troops remain on-the war establishment. This city is full' Of ,Belgian military, who have (witted the French. service. Among them are remarked many native French who desire commissions in our army, which however it is supposed they will not obtain. , It is affirmed, "that the Prussian . garriSon of Luxembourg is to be very considerably reinforced, and that during . the Congress, a most formidable torce will .be kept up on the whole line from the . Maese to the Moselle. These measures seem to be take❑ in consequence of those of France. Let-. tees from Ghent say,, that numerous couriers -ar rive daily at Ostend to and from London, vessels being at all times ready at Ostend for them. It is ohs'erved, that the negociations are not so ,active, and that the Ministers will prtibably remain there longer than wAs at firSt supposed.; On the Ist; the American 'Ministers gave a grand entertain ment, at which the Magistrates, and also the- Eng:. fish Ministers, were present. BREMEN, SEPT. 3.--Madante's Bacciothi and Borghese, Napoleon's sisters, have contracted great debts in Italy. These will not be charged upon the countries width they govkned, but tl►e moveable and immoveable property of the whole family in Italy gill be 'sequestered foi• their pay ment. - GERMAN PAPERS. LEGHORN, AUG. 4.--Colonel Ordioni, who for merly served in the Italian army, and is a native of Corsica, is gone to the Isle of Elba, where he has been appointed to the command of a fortress. General Viorella, likewise a Corsican, and for merly a Senator of Milan, is also gone to the same island. TAGANROCK (on the Sea of :bairn JUNE 19, O.S. —On the 10th of May, at two p. in. a singular 'phenomenon took" place in the province of Tscher- Nputorsk, ,near Altemrjuk, opposite_ to the Salt Marshes, in the Sea of Asoff. The weather was calm and serene, when a tremendous noise was heard issuing front the sea, tit the distance of about l 2oo fathoms from the shore, and the bot tom of the sea was seen to rise above the surface of the water. Flames,' accompanied with a sound like the discharge of cannon, burst from it, and large masses of earth .and stones were projected into the air. The first ten eruptions, which fol lowed within a quarter of an hour Of one another, were the most violent ; the succeeding ones were more distant and •weaker.. This phenomenon con, tinned till after night. A smell'of a peculiar kind, but not resembling sulphur, was diffused to the. distance of 10 wersts. The noise was heard at. the like distance ; and a subterraneous motion, attended with a hollow rumbling, was also per ceived. Hereupon an island appeared at the above mentioned spot, with several springs, which threw up a fluid mud, which gra.duallrbecame dry. On the 20th people began to examine the island. It seemed to be inaccessible, as it was gompletely surrounded - to the distance of five fathoms by a slimy mud ; and it was only in one place that they, succeeded in reaching the middle of it. Its length, from west to east, including the mud on the bor der, is 70 archines ; and the height, above the surface of the water, one fathom and an half.— The whole surface of the island is covered with ,a, • withish, stony substance. THE GERMAN UNION. 'IAMBI:ROB, SEPT. 3.- 7 -One of our Journals has lately published a curious document, containing some account of a secret society which was form ed in Germany during the period of French pre dominancy. The Editor thus introduces his ac count of it It must be interesting to the pub lic to obtain some more precise information with regard to the German Union, which undoubtedly took a very active part in the happily ended cod red for German independence. Napoleon 171tiona parte and his brother Jerome greatly dreaded the existence of this society, the object and tendency: of wrhich they very naturally bated. The latter delivered, in the Westphalian Mortiteur, an ana thema , Against this. union, but its rules and statutes still 1 - emainad,a secret to the French authorities. As now, hoWever, the high object which it had in iiew, is attained, there - , can be no hesitation about publishing some account of it, which' we have obtained from authentic sources." Then follows an account of tire statutes of this broth erbood.,.ln one - of these their.ohject is thus' stated : • " The-object of the German Union is FREED° t ; that is, fidelity to our old Princes, or the united exertion of all our powers, physical and moral, to deliver ourselves and our na tive 'country from everyloreign yoke." The rnembeii' were ,divided into.. two 'grades ; those of brothers and Stiperiors The following was the forth of ,oath 'taken on admiSsion : " I, A. B. swear to Almighty God a solemn oath, that I, after having perused the rules of the G:rniari Union, found them in corresliontlenee with my sentiments, "Mild being ad nutted as a brother into the union, will cousthntly observe those rules: I swear to God the Omniscient, that I will keep with the ,profoundest secrecy all that may be entrusted to me in relation to the union, and willingly endure even the pu nishment of death, rather than break this my voluntary oath. May God the Righteous bear what I swear, and be gracious to the faithful !" • After the administration of this oath, a •seal of admission was delivered to the Member. The follow ing are sonic of the statutes of this singular society, for the first grade:— 1. No one, without distinction of persons, can be admitted into the order, nutil ofte - r having taken the oath of secrecy: this oath is coeval in duration with his life, and includes every thing that mac be told him by a superior of the order, or with the execution of which he may be charged. 2. Should a Member receive in charge any thing which he may deem incompatible w ith his honour, or his duties towards the State, then he is at liberty to leave the order; but, never theless, the oath of secre‘y remains equally bindiq, and he must immediately communicate hiS separation from the, ordei to the superior in correspondence with with. 3. The safety of every member renders it necessary, • that when any betrayal of the order shall take plate. through the talkativeness .of any individual, the punishment of death . should follow thereon, and no kind of refuge,in the world will then protect the betrayer from the vengeance of the power ful union. ' 4, No member is hound to receive any order or commission, but from the superior *ho admitted him into the order; though this superior may inform him from whom to receit - e commissions. - • .5. Every commission must be puntually, faithfully, and se cretly executed; the member thus acting will soon be - raikd -to the otlice of-superior. C. When a member is commissioned to tate very distant journies, or to perform expensive businzss ' then. the expencq-, shall be paid to him by the superior who delivered to biM the commisSion. 7. The snperiors alone are made acquainted with the real objects of the order, and it will be a fruitless and punishable curiosity on the part of inferiors to endeavour to pry into them. 8. Every member is bound on admission, to give to his su perior an engraving of his armorial bearings, together with his name, surname, age, Written with his own hand ; he then receives from the superior, a card with the to-• kens or characters of the order, on which also is written the. name which lie must go by in all transactions of the order; and this card he must without fail tarry with him itt all jour-' tilts on the business of the order. 9. No private individual is to know any other member of the order but the superior who admitted him. There are other statutes respecting the,supe dors, of which the foliowing are the chief :—, t. The superior receives his commissions, generally, fijouj him by who re h e was admitted,- or from Wile superior signaterrto him by the latter. • • 2: All coniniiSsions, however, whether itsued by superiors or iliferio:s, when stamped with the seal of the union, with out any other superscription, must be executed in the speediest ' . • , . i of ° d ' ll nistiner : should tiny answer be required , the P lace ,,:,, will be written umfer it. .. „ w iliel' 311 • C l ol' . .3.
