JOURNAL OF A TRIP TO PARIS. 'Though T enlargVd so much upon the 'Vr6neb Stage in my last, I am 'yet unwilling to relinquish the subject. It is not alone the everlasting jingle of the rhyme, which in French Tragedy impresses an English ear with the idea of burleique, but the mode of laying the emphasis in delivering this heroic poetry, 'adds to the grliting effect. ds are pronounced Ili an entirely different manner from common lire. All the emphases are not only throWn .upon the ends of words, but also ulron the terininations of verses, and thus the •drawl of monotony is most disagreeably. and un- 'The naturally perfected. In Farce, and.l may say in Comedy, I think the, French are generally more pure in their ac lion than our Players in England. The after piece of George Mindiff - (our Burnaby Brittle) was excellently performed ; and 1 afterwards saw Co medy in the same Theatre, in which Comedians of the names of Mictiop, ST. PRIX, and BAP TISTE, Mademoiselles EMILIE, CONTAT, DUPUIS, and Others, sustained the characters with great naivete, and with a degree of humour not offen sively broad. lam not sure, h-owever, that the Tian= turn of grimlice on the outside of these' walls does not serve, by contrast, to induce the opinion, that the grimace within is less tainted' with buffoonery than it is with some of those whom we esteem our best children of the Buskin in London, There • are no play-hills in the Parisian Theatres—a great drawback on the pleasure of strangers, who are ever desirous of knowing the names of those to whom they ar indebted for artlliseinent. I also urAiced that woinen do not inhitbit the pit in any of their houses, as with us ; it presents invariably a formidablea - spect of unenlivened male critics. In . these desultory remarlis, 'I might have noticed that the universal Frenth shrug, which is the cornimin inheritance of Prince and Peasant, is very illsuited to our ideas of dignity in Tragedy and that neither in Tragedy nor Comedy is there any of that appropriate aild,,,exqujsite bye-play which-not unfrequently is the greatest merit of an English Actor ; , ....but it is now full time, to exit from the Stage— And whither, at this late hour, shall I lead you .? To the Gaming Table in the Valais Royal, where passions are more deeply excited by the Kings and Queens of pasteboard than by the. Rozal Sufferers in the Drama i No I have al ready said enough upon this hateful subject. Home then, even to Conclude this short letter. At the hour of midnight the streets are all quiet.. No incident interrupts the course of the peregri nator—h& may therefore apply_ the reflexions of the evening to the sights of the day. I have tra versed one half of Paris ; inspected ,the excellent institution of the Jae,din' des Plantes, 'emanating from a BOURBON, and. exantifled the vain'- glorious Temple of a short 7 lived Usurper's pride. I have, chised the evening with wit nessing a.,Tragedy and. a Fared at the Theatre Francais, as if it were iii mockery of the his tory:of France -for the last ;thirty years France, whose tragical drama deluged the Stage of Europe with blood, and filled the earth with misery and Pain ; till at length the Farce came, which, though too gilt'e and serious in its course, has now closed with, universal applause.—Pon derink on these idle fancies, I reach my Hotel : the bell brings forth the Swiss, a name it was dan gerous, often fatal, to bear daring the murders of the Revolution, and was therefore exchanged fir " the Porter ;" but 4e parler an Swisse" has, once more, become, in these times of security, the usual inscription over the Lodge of the Janus who presides at almost every gate. Before • bidding you good-night, permit me to notice the very economical and pleasant lamp which is familiar with. the bed-rooms . of,Paris. A thin piece of card, and a like slice of cork pasted . together, forth a' neat round float, through the centre of which is inserted a piece of rush, (the . same as in rush-lights), about half an inch in length. . This boogie is launched upon about a couple of table-spoons' full of oil, poured into a small tumbler of water, and ,beiwg lighted affords a velYSteady and inoffensive light ;throughout the niglif, and is ,as cheap, sagreeable, and simple as could well.be devised, It is there fore recommended to his country by . - vIA - r()R.• Frotn a Conflict paper :—Sunituonses, accord ing to -Mr. PtELE's Act, have been issued indi vidually to the Alagistrates of the county of Tip perary r equiring their atte n d ance at ' the'Court htiuse in Cashel, to take ,the state o f t h e ' countr y into consideration ; and surely no per i o d Within the memory of any, YOin now living more iinperi-r (lusty required the' 'hest consideration., and the Iraniall.....descriptions of most co r di a l u n ai nimity; honest and rational men, in checking the dread- till spirit by which 'a part of tile. county is sLiguiatised. VRENth PArr2.lS, ZUItTCH, ,Ave. 24.---The following is tIR.,Note which their t xcelleacies the Ministers of Austria, Russia; and England; sent on the 13th to the Diet, and which *as read 'in the Slttlng of the 16th " Although the" spirit of di so bedience whi c h manifests itself in the districts of liznach aud Sacgans linve excited for .some time the attention of the undersigned Ministers' and Plenipoten tiaries, they trust nevertheless to .6e'able to de vend entirely on the vigilance and - firmness which the Diet will not delay to display, to Inaintain the rec,olutiOn of the circular of the 31st . of May, which they established, in conforMity to their Note Of • the 20th of the smite month, the im mutability of the state :quo of the possession of each Canton, and the political situation of their inhabitams; until the definiii Ye arrangement of affairs. It is not without regret that they enter tain some doubt in this respect, especially since it has conic to their knowledge that there exist Swiss Magistrates w ho endeavour to , elude the execution of this provincial - on the maintenance of which (obvious to every one), evidently depends_ the preservation of the peace of the interior of the country. That this peace may not be broken, that all the-Authprities in sill the Cantons may be invariably respected. That that which can never be made a question should not be rendered problematical, above all where the love of tout won country is not yet extinguished by the blind- , ness of the cantonal interest. It is to this the Undersigned are Obliged to direct their attention. They trust that in conscquence- of the Wisdom .and dignity of the Diet, they will act on this occasion, and in all those which can present themselves, .with a vigour proportioned to circum stances,' but always superior to intrigues and cow mot ions." . MADRID, AUG. 23.—The King has - just filled up a number of E - cclesiastieal Benefices, : vacant by the death of the titulars. The nominations of this kind made by King , J(Aeph are regarded as The incorporation with -the regular army of the Getillas, or Voluntary Bands formed in the pro vinces, appears resolved upon : the Officers. of these irregular limb lose, it is said, two steps of rank ; that is, the Captain becomes Sub--Lieu tenant. This measure, required by circumstances, by no means gives satisfection; for there is.not one of these partisans who does not think that he has been-useful to the cause, and powerfully con tributed to the political Changes occasioned by the fall of Napoleon. Our poets and .sacred orators celebrate alter nately the glory and good . fortune of our Sove-, reign. Zeal supplies the plike of talent, and we may at least praise good intention. NUREMBERG, (BAYARIA), AuG..2s.—lt is well known that .Bavaria and Austria have always had opposite interests very difficult to conciliate. — The great powers have frequently been obliged fo interfere in. their quarrels; and without Prance and Prussia, Bavaria would certainly enjoy a less important rank at present. Her position incom modes Austria ; and it is asserted that that Power fine proposed to her arrangements which ore ac tually under consideration. Austria wishes -to have the principalities of Saltzburg and Berchtolsgaden; in the districts of Hausruckviertel and Innviertel, and which facilitate her communications with Italy; the country to the west of these districts remaining with Bavaria, and connecting her with her new ac-. quisitions. -Austria promises to support her in ob taining the cession of considerable indemnities on both banks of the Maine, and the left bank of the These indemnities, it is said, will be of triple value to the cessions. Austria would also Avish Mentz to remain with Bavaria : she tears lest Prussia should demand that city, which is the bulwark, of Franconia. The whole district -of Nassau, situated between Frankfort and Mentz, has also been offered to Bavaria. These offers are tempting : but it is thought Bavaria will not accept, them, unless under the guarantee of the •great European Powers. ROME, AUG. 21.—A great many churches, - re stored to religion, have been recently (amsecrat- - ed.with great pomp.' Several patricians of the first families of Venice being now at Rome, have had the honour to pre sent their respects to his Holiness, Nvho received 'them with- extreme kindness.. LigGE,• AuG. 29 —Lord Castlereagh arrived here . last •night, and alighted at the Black Eagle Hotel. Ile was preceded by a Cabinet courier, arid followed by. two Secretaries of Legation.— Next morning at five lie departed for Vienna. BAYONNE:Aud. 27.—1 n the night between 24th and 25th the Spaniards. set fire to the bridge -61 Yrun, over the Bidasso. It- is alledged that the . order had been given for several days by the -Government, but the English, who still occupied both the banks of the River, had prevented the execution. What suppo'it'S this opinion is, that as soon as the English were established 'on the left bank the order was executed.- Curiosity is excited to know what can be the motive for such measures on the part of the Government of Ferdinand. it is to intercept all communication with France ? It is said . that the Court of Madrid is in the greatest fear .on account of the'expeeted arrival of- Charl6 I-V. - in Spain. It is added, that orders are issued on the whole frontier, and at the ports at the great and little Seas, to arrest him if he should present himself: . • CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES—Srraw: OF THE 2D. The lengthened debates, or rather read speeches, on, the Midget were continued this day. Among other speakers, M. Flapgergues dwelt strongly on the necessity of economy. Baron Louis, Minister of Finance, then rose in reply. lle detended the system of treasury bonds t`•ith an interest of 8 per cent. " France," he said, " amidst all its wealth and abondatice, was in a•state of insolvency: there existed de niandabte debts against her which are not paid ; circunistances brought .on by "guilty imprudence• had placed ter in this disagreeable situation ; but Will she voltintarily rennin in it ? will she ruin her creditors and destroy then• capital ? It was our ditty to pay the whole debt, in urder. : to. he just : and obtain credit. • Our plan of 'paying the ar-i' tears with treasury bouds- was not the best possi .ble ; for we ought •tb pax . their iu,Tcady, Juonc.:y, and the itlipossibility of doing this could atottt-, serve as an excuse. It was not without regret that we proposed assigning the high rate of 8 per cent. to these bonds ; but we were convinced tint in the then state of things this interest was in 'dispensable, to '.the Maintenance of the .bonds at par: Ile next contended, that : the dangers ori . lVaitt .of timber from the Sale of a certain portion of the.' forests were chinierical. 'Detached portions of - these forests 'would be selected for. sale, surround ed, perhaps, by.. private estates, which would thus fetch a better pride ; while in their present state they were peculiarly liable to depredation.---While the sea was open, credit would always accumu late timber ii our ports, sufficient -for every pm - - pose; naval or domestic.—l - le concluded with some observations on public credit. After Baron Louis had ended,•the question was loudly called for,,aild the discuSsion was deciare'el "to be closed ; but the voting by scrutiny was posAst li poned till next sitting., ?Amts,' SEPT. 3.—Mr. T. G. Street, Editor Co-propridor of the English Journal The Couriei; had the honour of being,presented to his Majesty in private, on the IGth of August: His Majesty condescended to express to him how much he was satisfied with the constancy he displayed (luring most than teri years, in maintaining the cause of the Bourbons in his Journal, establishing it as a , principle, that on their triumph depended the sal vation of Europe. On the same day he had an audience of -Monsieur,, to whom he had already the honour of being k nown, and who - received him with the greatest kindness., The Journal de Paris says, " there is a report in Italy, of an Alliance offensive and defensive be= tween England, Austria, Bavaria, and the Kink of Naples, to counterbalAnce sue influence of the Northern.,l oltr3 l ! We,are assured that the Prince of Bertevent will set out for the Congress. in a few days. General Count Ex-Governor of the `Roman States, on Wednesday laSt had a private audience of his Majesty. Letters front Rome State, that the Pope is •about to publish 'an Edict, -restoring the Regul'ar Orders.

PROCLANIATION OF PRINCE CHRISTIAN TO, THE NORWEGIANS. .“ NORWEGIANS,-When, upon the dissolution of your union with Denmark, we took, upon our self the'direction of the affairs of NOrway, it was to prevent your - . beloved country from being torn to pieces by civil %val. and . factions. Ybur wishes called us to the throne' of Norwaywe obeyed the call—your confidence, and your gopd cause' demanded our participation. We resolved tb make every personal sacrifice, in order to,secure to you 'those benefits. " It is true we were aware of the dangers. which threatened your hopes and ours, in such au unequal contest ; but we could not possibly conceive that the most powerful States of Eu rope would combine to oppress a noble and in nocent people, whose reasonable wish was li berty, and whose only desire was independence. Meanwhile Sweden's powerfal, envoys in formed us by their envoys, that the union of Nor way with Sweden was irrevocably determined on It is known to you that we were willing to sacrifice our personal happy situation, if the great Assein'- bly of the Nationshc , ild find it conducive to the .happiness of the nation ; but you likewise know, that the conditiobs upon Which an armistice was at that time offered, were such that we' could - not accede to them, till the fortune of, ,w+ir had. been tried, because they were contrary to the funda mental law. We saw with regret that our sincere endea vours to avoid a war in the North were fruitless. The e.denSitre frontiers and sea-coast of Norway made it necessary to divide the troops. Sweden made great exertions to arm at different points.„ and in the uncertainty on what part- of the king dom the attack _might be expected, fro-n which we could cover the interior provin -es of the king dom,. and at the.same time hasten to the assistance of such points as were threatened or attacked. in all these respects-Plonunen seemed to present the most advantages.: "'On being informed of the enemy's invasion by Ide, Stetting, and.Swinesund, we haStened to collect a corps at Rackestadt, in order by an at taCk from that side to stop the fitrther progress ft f the eneniv but - the unexpected surrender of Frederickstadt obliged us to take a position on : the Glommen, the enemy having obtained a se . cure passage, so that the road to Christiania might be forced. " The enemy being superior atsea, bad it in his power, by frequent landings, to,turn our right flank. A long blockade by, the English and Swe dish naval force had hbidered us from furnishing otir magazines in a sufficient:manner ; , they were nearly. .exhausted, and want of the first necessii . ties threatened to, break that courage which tlic superior force of the enemy could not bend. - The deputies from the Diet were not received by the English Ministry, and therefore returned without any hope of assistance, or a relaxation of the inimical, measures of that kingdom. " Under these circumstances, Sweden proposed an armistice. Of the two fortresses, the occupa-' tion of which by Swedish troops had been refused in the negociation than were broken off,' one was already in their hands, and the other cut of}' from all relief, and bombarded. The fortune of,,K4r had declared against. us, and the continuation 9f -the contest would, in such circumstanees, ,led only, to the total ruin of our country. Tue prevent this, and to give the nation an opportu nity of learning the condition of the kingdom by a,meeting of the Diet, we repeated` our offer of that 1 . 161 - 4 ) ) sit'ultic)9 t° which your i c il o i n is fi r c i l c e e nc a e n l: l l ac e c lvention of tbcot l , l ore t h inst. were signed; and in consequence t iler i ' fa ti le t - tilve by cutr fescript of this dash ` sire „ y c-biet .
