Jt URN At or .A tiliP'TO PAM S. (No: VHS) MR. tD !TOR ) At Moniteuil, I visited the Church, the first I had teen in a Catholic ,country. There are One or two good paintings, and a figure of the Virgin and aesUS Christ in wax, adorned with gaudy_fiowers And ribbows What devotional eilicey theappear 2eee of these images may have in France, I shall not pretend to say. In the grand cathedrals of Ca iholicisin, there may be, in the admirable pictures antl the exquisite workmanship upon the altar, , &c. some reason found for the argument, that these visible representations of Divinity bring home the feeling of adoration ;to the minds of the illite rate ; but the paultry and grotesque productions. wide!' are more generally to be found in lower Churches, are surely only calculated to create a ludicrous sensation toward 3 every thing .sa cred,. so absurdly represented. If the • grau 'deur of the •Catholic ceremonies are sublime, :elevating, and imposing, when conducted on a superb scale, they are no less trifling, ,ridi -culous, and injurious to religion, when performed in a less magnificent manner. Here I also visited the Citadel, t7t building en tire',-; in ruins. About twenty of the National Guard, resembling the oldest of. the old watch : men in London, were in charge of this impoc44 fortification. There were about 3000 of the' 04# lied troops cantoned Montreuil and the,o‘ lages round about ! ! From Montreuil to - Nampont, " une pile et demi." There were plenty of living asses upon ti.e road; I only looked with My.raind's eye for the dead one. Not so, however, one of the com panimis picked up at Calais, and again at Mon- He was an intolerant admirer Of STrINE, and an intolerable speaker of French. Prompted by- a most abundant sentimental feeling, and blessed with very niggardly means to give it vent, he had begun by inquiring at Montreui! " le mort tine, ou demeure t'il P" and this question was re peated on every opportunity on the road to, and. at Nampont. The persons to -whom he addressed himself received the interrogation with much sang froid, as Frenchmen generally do : some of them attempted explanation, others shrUgged up their shoulders,. and exclaimed, Monsieur! and others, again, confessed that they ditl not know where the dead ass lived. This *hews what a puzzle the . ricir.srtlou embrftecrt j for it is rcry seldoril that this polite people allow that they are ignorant your meaning. On the contrary, though they do not Comprehend one word you utter, they glibly an swer, " Oui, Monsieur ;" and go on to gabble something or other, n'emporte, so yiick, that no French, and far less any. unaccustomed cy - gm]; can understand one syllable they emit. The inflexions of the word " Monsieur" have also a curious abundance. Pronounced ia twenty dissimilar tones and ways, it has twenty different signitications. It is an affirmative, a negative, an interjection , _ an expression of doubt, fear, ad miration, want of comprehension ; an interroga tion, a simple assent, an e4uivogne, a compli ment it is, in short, a language in one word. From Naniporet to Nourion we were treated with - a variety of postillions, viz, one with bare legs,' instead of the mighty boots, so universally sported by his comrades. He did not, however, seem to drive one whit the worse or the better. From Nourion to Abbeville is about nine miles ; and here: we arrived at the close of the day. Abbeville is:a large and apparently an interesting place for the traVeller to stop at and examine; but as a report prevailed that all the post-horses on : this road were on the eve of being laid under re quisition, for the conveyance of Lours XVIII. to Paris, I thought it better to take a view of Abbe ville on returning, than to stop now, with a risk of ... being embargoed longer than curiosity re quired. From Abbeville to Paris, by Anyliens, is 'about two - posts more thadthe route by Beauvais; but it is represented as being more certain, and • better worth travelling. During night, the latter point seemed to possess little weight in leading to a determination, and, to obviate any difficulties which might arise on the former with respect to finding relays of horses, it was easy Co send 'on art avant-courier—which course we adopted. :This person is paid 30 sous per post for him self, and 30 sous more for his horse. Procet'ding in this way during the nightote roach ed. to breakfast on Friday Morning the 2211, a distance of I I posts. We found no trouble in changing horses 'Toil the road: The. gates at Abbeville were shut, but were op ene d to us aft e r an interrogatot•y as to whether we were charged with dispatches from the Government. The inedieient state of the Cabriolets I have already noticed ; but it is only in night travelling that their (tercets are most severely kit. Under your feet is a seam quite across the vehicle (where the loWet front' shuts up aitet you get in) through which a Arc current of cold air rushes in to refresh your limbs ; tho front windoni s ‘vhich, froM its accommodating-, itself toAlle miffed' shape of the Machine, is tiecessarilp rickety, admits an etlual portion of the weather to your upper extre mities ; and, lest all this should not he sufficient to keep you cool, the little hales for light on' each side, and, most probably, theirfellow in the rear,. Pour in a more modified measure of the atmos phere, after the fashion of alternate bellows. From these sources of .delight playing upon us asleep and awake, I fourld, in the Morning, my legs so perfectly invaded with rheumatism as to be scarcely able to move ; and the head of my companion, which had been exposed to an inlet wider than the rest, was swelled to thal degree, that he scomed•to. have got a friar's cowl over his uatural fell of hair." Every Englishman who visits France ought, if possible, to bring a convenient carriage with him. The trouble - of embarking and 4lisembarking• it will soon be amply compensated .by comfort in travelling harnem too is well suited to the-vehicle.; and it is, true, that you cannot, go on a single stage, without having some alterations to make, or something to nicurl, in this respect. , One horse is yoked in the carriage, which ht structure re - senibles a cart, and is not built, as with us, - with a pole ; a couple of ropes, passing frrim - a broad leather breast-plate, connects it with the cabriolet. The other horse, that which is ridden by tho drive ;• is almost distinct from draught ; it is, however, - also tied to one side of the cabriolet by two ropes; and another rope, from the-t,;ead of the working hcirse, held by the postillion, serves him to lead, rather than to draw, the chafe along. Of the inducements held out to induce the Voyageur to rest at Beauvais, the, following caril will give you a notion of the charge of a gooil breakfast a la ~fourchette, for four; the particulars also follow : " HOTEL DE L'ECTJ, rll3 . ea,nrais, Route de Paris, Amiens, et Calais, o 4 descendent les gramics diligcnces de la rue Notre-name-des-Vietoires.—Cet Hotel, teen par BoeguET, est compose d'appartemens (le inaltres, de grands magasins, grands tleuries et remises.

FRENCH • PIPERS: [ARRIVED THIS MOfIX(NG.] PARIS, MAY 1.---The King will arrive 'to-mor row, Monday, at St. Owen, and will receive there, at 7. o'clock in the evening, the Deputations from the different Bodies of the State. He will sleep there, and on the next day, Tuesday, he will set off at six o'clock in the morning", to make his entry • into Paris. The Marshals of France having gone to Com peigne to od:er their homage to the King, they were introdueed to leis Majesty, and addressed him in the following terms : " SIRE,---After twenty-five years of uncertainty and of fstornis, the people of France have again confided the care of their hhppiuess to that Dynasty, which -eight centuries of glory have consecrated in the history of. the world as the most ancient that ever existed. The Marshals of France, as warriors and as citizens, have been induced, by every feeling of their hearts, to sup-. . port this manifestation of the nrional will. En tire ccmfidence for the future, admiration for greatness of soli A) mNfortunei, even ancient reL collections, contribute to excite in the breasts of our warriors (the constant supporters of the glory of the French arms) - these transports which your Majesty has seen break forth upon your journey. The accents of their gratitude, Sire, have already preceded you.- How is it possible to express the emotion with which they were penetrated, when they learnt with what affecting interest your Ma jesty, forgetting your own misfortunes, for . a long time thought only of those of the French Sol diers ? 'lit is of no -importance,' said your Ma jesty to the magnallimous Alexander, ' one litru.L • dyed and fifty thousand prisoners have fought ; • they are. unfortunate ; I behold among them ' only 'my , children.' In these memorable words, which were repeated from soldier to soldier, what Frenchman does not recognize the blood of the Great Henry, who fed the :inhivhi , tants of Paris while he was ,besieging the city ? Like him, his Illtwrions descendant comes, to ueite all France into one great Gamily. Your armies, Sire, of ivhom the Marshals are this day the or gan, will be'happy to be called by your Majesty to second your generous efforts." The King repliel with the most affecting- good ness, that he received with pleatsure the Marthal3 of Vrande, Anil he relied Upon thost expiTesionsiof love and fidelity tvhi:ll they er.pressed in the name of the A,1441 . eS (4 .

But if. ever, which God forbid, we' should be forced to draw it; gouty as I aria , I will march tyi - th you." • • " Sire (replied the' Marshals), ydur 11a jesty always consider us as tist,..

" Yes ; the Belgians," said Buona. parte, " they like use, perhaps, but what signifies all their addresses ?
