jOURNAL OF A TRIP TO PARIS, (No. XIII.). I tope your appetite and digestion are good In my last I treated you with the whole fashions and appurtenances of the Cafes and Breakfast arrd am now about to take you 'dung *re Restaarateztr'-i; or Miner Mer tViltittri:* If my pen eintibt (plustieC lia tdtiv - • • ing scentlierefifesen'W, I sliaCat least, he able to gi,e you'a brief:ab . Strac - t and chionicie of the dishes and wine;, BEAT.IYILL I ER'S (anciently of the 17td)ado . 7:averne Pal:aisitoyal, but 'timer Of the Rue de Richelieu), bring one: of the best, if riot the ye' y beSt liotisi I have yet visited in Paris, shall sery,e • :t o give you an'idea of a leading Tavern hi the . ...,. / Vienclr•CaPital, at this busy and crowded period; 1111 - a room of the sha'pe,of the letter I' 4 ; there are • _about twenty tables. set out ; to every two or ~tbree of which a particular waiter is allotted. At. .each end of the ,room,•Within a kind of bar, Covered With,frnits, &c. are seated females, who . may - be called die presiding Divinities of :the place. They are generally well-dressed, fine Ivo - men, otgenteel manners, conversable and A.Ltree : able. As the waiters take.thevarious dishes to the ; tables, they give notice at the bar, and the items' being entered 'on slips of paper properly numbered, the bills are produced, at'the cud of the entertainment, with the utrimAt promptitude, and, aonsideriu, the circumstances, with an ac- - curacy truly astonishing. . I have said, '' considering the circumstances ;'' for perhaps you will be surprised to Lear, that the' number of persons who dine daily at present in the yoo:41 1 have just mentioned.amounts to no f e wer than froM fiVe to sever hundred 1! Taking the dinners on an average at .abrout, ten francs a head, the daily receipts are, therefore, .near three hundred pounds, or the immense sam of one hun dred and ten thousand pounds Within the year Not aware of the multitudes assembled, .nor of the exact nature of the Restaurateur's avocations, I'was at once struck "with woider, .and amused (I may use'the stronger, phrase, delighted) with the scencitere I/resented. . There were,: perhaps, a hundred Gentlemen seated at table, each pm - - . . tning - with manly vigour the Obj ec t to . the accom 7 plish.menttf which he had devoted himself. The variety of the viands . could only be equalled by the variety of the consnmers, 7 the. latter inde • scramble. The meld; the promiscuous inter-min- , filing of all iranks and nationi; the diversitTof, langutige; Manners, dresses, looks. of the assem bly, are not readily to be imagined ; and the effect produced is such, that it must be seen to be . . adequately nuderstood. Here sat a party of Prus sian Officers ; there AUstrians ; at a third table, Russians 5- at a fourth, British ; at a filth; French ; at a sixth, a medley of all nation:3, whom chance had placed in friendly neighbourhood together : an occasional Lady or two, in the midst of this masculine congregation, imparted . a new feature, and gave a livelier , interest to the busy meeting. • Nor were the ,grades of the company less mime .. • • • rents than the countries which gave them birth. 'The Erllslr Nobleman was; perhaps;elhowed by ,the. nter: Shopkeeper; the Allied ColOnel was probablyyvis 7 a-yis with a French. National Guard; and the Traveller,,humble as myself, sat down, Without • ceremony or form, to the same board with. the renowned Marshal BLUCHER, and with 4,ther Coinmanders and, distinguished Heroes be longing tc• the armies of the Combined Powers. - This lucky opportunity has been frequently af 'forded me, 'said enabled me to make observations On men and things, with which I shall trespass upon yor - kr patience hereafter; but at present. I shall adhet to my dinner -party. Th e general confusion of a crowded eating room was apperently augmented by the very great dissimilarity in t, Inc, gesture, and speech, which prevailed in ei•er N ' corner of the room. The Frenchman, all gest. ;dilation and 'grimace, snuf , Led out his sentences, ,gehrugged, grinned, and de voured his portions in • rapid succession—The heavier German seemed al 'most twisting his jaws out of shape, at one tittle in discussing a dish, and' at another in discussL-Ig a subject. The strong aspirations and tremem lous concatenations of syllables••in his language farmed a curious contrast with the slip-shod, na: i4l sounds of the former. The tone and character •of the Cossack's language well agrees with the w ild, end rough, and warlike habits and appearanc e of the man. The Russian style and mode of spc eeh is also ex tremely characteristic : harsh, pace' it, and mixed, of barbaric and rich, rime and . Rowing tones. Between whiles the soft and ntclli a:nous intona tions of Italy were heard Mid the roar around— wide-mouthed Dutch clashed v.ith the simperings of foreigners affecting tosite;ll; fin e Freud'; and t`te.rugged. or sibilant notes of I Loglish jrrrtgled with accents of nualberless and dialects, tW iiolsy ana htltnertius than whitorn ed the workmen it Babel. Various as their tongues, were the habit's', end dt'ess, :tund physic gnomies. p.ro iind,. the brilliant uniforms of troops, of everydescriptiod and coun try, from the glittering cuirassier to the furry hussar—from , the starred, and crossed, and Me dalled general, in the plainly-clothed civilian, were only equalled by the difference of counte nance which belonged to the owners of these-ac , ‘ coutretnents The 'bronzed features of the old soldier were contrasted with the languid looks of . innlors, whose effeminacy, after all their 'battles, would not disgrace Bond-street ; the mitstaChed dragoon, " bearded like a pard,',' bed'for his foil the youthful stripling, whose chin could not yet boast one pile of hair ; the almost Indian fate of the Don Cossacks she-wed" well by the pale visage . , of the studioUs maw; the high lineaMents of one country, and the flat traits of another,the ru bicundity-of the German, and the sallowness of the rotundity of the .northern people,. and -, the sharpness:of features belonging to tig: all together formed' a spectacle as diversified and interesting, as either the observant or the idle traveller could desire. • To meet. this "host of dissimilar men, with a consequent multitude of dissimilar tastes, even a French Bill of Fare, with all its proviSimis; was not 'more than sufficient. All Homer's great he roes are great eaters ; and it I were to judge by this rule, the generality of the persons I have seen at the Restaurateurs, must be the greatest heroes in the corps' to which they belong.: 'As they had done ample justice to the French armies, so did they do ample justice to the French cookery: The French themselves seem to be quite as prodigious in the eating-room .asin . .the field ; so that there was, in both easeS,•.a most glorious competition and rivalry between them 'and the invaders. I have the Bill of Fare now betore me, and make the following abstract of it, to feed your curiosity :--- Oysters (with a dozeirdt two of which dinner is'very corn. monly commenced) of sevCial kind's, and (min 1 franc to 1/ fr, per dozen. Soups, 15 sorts, from 1 f►anc -10 sous to 12 sous the basin. Hors-d'ceuvres, such as artichokes dressed, sausages, eggs, &c. &c. &c. alma. 20 or 30 varioai artieres.

The meeting of the Legislative -Body, as stated in the Gazette de France, has been postponed to. this day• (4th Stine). The Monitenr promises the Treaty in its publication of the 2d ; so that we shall be enabled to lay it before our Readers on Monday,: They are,. Bower i•, already most accuratelyarquainted, not, only with the sub• - _stance, but with the details. Premising, that this Treaty simply.. that. be— tween Great Britain and FlatICC, awl (,)uglit to- he considered in no otbcr view as affecting drrauf.::e ments • between us and other Countries', : We shall merely add the following— •Avignon, Chambery, and a small portion of territory on the side.of thc Netherlands, are to'he .iiddcd to Franee as she stood in 1769. - 'Of all our 'colonial conquests from France, we retain only C. Lucie, Tobago;Mauritius, and-its depeuden 'cies. In future treaties with Holland, &c. Malta, which voluntarily placed itself under the protec . don of the British Crown ; Trinidad, Which,:re conquered from- tT-;pin; and Ceylon aliii he Cape of Good Hope, tvhich wc:toolt fl'oin . the•Dittch; will be definitively annexed to the British do- mitlions. We have no reason to alter our opinion, that Guadaloupe is restored to ri•aucc, .and, that Swe den is to have an indemnity for this Island, whi c h, our Readers will recollect, w-ay never guaranteed to her;: butt she consented to takcAit precisely ps we held it, namely, as a conquered colony, whose destiny,was to be fixed at a General .Peace.. Domingo, we understand, is to be divided, ks heretofore, between France and Spain. Mr. METHUEN brought on his• motion relative to the Princess of WALES in the House of C?)tri mons last night. Strangers were excluded motion of Mr. LYGON. Both arc, we believe, newly marrzed men; and from their contrariety of opinion, the one thinking that the Public ought to be told ' the whole story of the difference be tween the PRINCE M:ocNT and his Wife; .and the otherholding that they shOuld be toldas little abo(it this family matter, as possible, we observe how clie_ ficult a thing it is to get the by-stauders to agree on the subject, and may; therefore, conceive how little likely their interference is to conciliate - the parties. ; • - • With regard ti) clearing the Gallery, it is cer tainly the privilege of every. Member ; but if . thitt privilege is bestowed"for any purpose, ,it is to CQII - fille the Debate With r ip" the' walls of the Ilouse ; and it doef . 4ein h little at variance, with common line " that the only effect produced, should be, to give the public a more imperfect and mutilated version of the disenssion than they would receive in the ordinary way. If the rule of Parliamel.t ia 'right, surely the p rac ti ce o f its reporting Members is wrong. Such as it is, however, it is the only source upon Nvhich . we can draw. to-day for the sketch of the proceedings said to have taken place last night. And we are glad it is; for we suppose, that any Reporter of a,Newspaper who had written the matter set down as•having issued from the mouth. of WHITB ttnAD, would have been brought to the Bar by that per son, mid committed to Newgate. We have selected the Morning Chronicle ac count .of his speich, and of that. of Mr. Me rxvety ; because, as that loyal Paper was the organ through which the Princess of %VAL.Es was advised to publish the Correspondence., we take it for granted that some of the Party furnished these pretended Speeches. A .zealotis Partizan he must have been. Mr. WHITBREAD, violent as- he is, durst not have uttered within the.walls of :Parlia ment the insultinglanguage here ascribed to The House of Commons would not have permit ted it, even, though he .should have attempted to deliver such sentiments; and though Lord f2:1511..,- REAdti was not there, theSPEAKERNVOUId have put an • end to such effusions of spleen and rageouragainst the Executive Government, and, we Iva! add, the domestic peace and happiness of this Country.
