I was long looked upon by my. friends, and .iniaeined !oy•ielf, b4ond all hopes of recovery ; and, lb . deed, in my then condition; death was preferable to my more than miserable state.

GERMAN • A Philesophicgi Writer*, under the' prete.ict of - giving the . .World a Pianre of Paris, has pUblished six_large volumes,. which are intrch. admired-by fo reigners. We will do justice to his intentions, and not read his book. He is a charming :fellow •; thinks in the street, ,writes ahoet every post he comes to ; and knows every thing, except the art of pleasing, and standing still. He has - written sib volumes on 'Paris. I shall give- a -few pages ofi the same subjed ; for I hate nothing so much as prolixity. At Paris every body builds, and-every body spe culates ; there some amuse, many ruin, and very few enrich themselves'. The multitude live` by the hopes and the follies of the opulent upstarts: The Literati excite very little sensation at Paris, because the spirit of books interests. nobpdy, since the spirit of business has taken 'possessidn of 'mind. Let us likeWiseneknowleuge, that very little genius is requisite to compose a Novel, and that mind is necessary for a Tragedy, which is tlrst read with presumption, performed with confidence, praised #ith tuthult, kept up with great expellee, and iS totally destitute of every qualification that caul con:i nland success. The Dranda, it is true, is rather negleaed, and for this very reason, because the Theatres are so un t hnionlywellfrequented, However paradoXteal this observation may at first sight appear, it is neverthe less.trne. A taste for the Drama makes nu altera tion in the manners of society. There is, at Paris a , an .hour in which all appear equally rich, converse on the same, subjeas, and occupy themselves with 'the same things. Pleasure seems to be the only employment, and gaiety the prevailing eharaneris tic. What shall ,we say to the opinion of MARI . YAUX, who maintained, that people who are not offended by any thing, are not titter for society than ihose who take offence at every thing ? _ _ Reading and study are almost totally relinquished. How many things are thete which it is dangerous to learn ; and how many others, the knowledge of which.is oftio service ! Fame is no longar the ob jeti to which we aspire, but wealth. Our Very au- thors are ,a kind of literary financiers. There are un dertakers and composers of histories, trai els, new plays; necrologies, &c. It was formerly said, that the sciences knew no difference et . tank, but rather destroyed them, and conferred. distinctions which persons of the highest quality could not always at 7 tain. This fashion is past, the present generation takes delght only in what is.ridiculous. As it is absolutely necessary to be rich, in order to enjoy plea,ure, the exterior of le:pones; tind'a kind Of consideration, no, means are telt untried to ob 7 bin wealth. :Were any one to follow tile path of ;virtue, I am convinced that he 'would procurc ap plause, were it only because , he would have very few competitors. • A talent which is on the decline at Paris is, that of :conversation. Every thing is absorbed in the vortex of gaining. People in years still, retain seine sparks qf gaiety ; but, upon the whole, nothing is mire insipid, inure frivolens, more silly, than a handsome WOITIAII 'With whom you are not la' 10., e. most affront her if you speak :to her of any thing else than her face. Nothing is so atfeeted, so me thodical, so full of pretensions, as Ladies of this • description. They rule despotically over your con versation, your taste, your ideas. But nothing is so formal, so disgusting, as a woman of genius, who writes little books, and reads them to great con noisseurs. One of these Ladies lately said. to me, To speak • much and well, is the talent of the hl espy it; to speak littleand well, is the chartherofa wise man ; to speak ,and ill, is the unfortunate fate of the silly.' —" And, to speak like you, Ma dame„'', replied 1,." is to speak like a, book."— She blushed, and has not since invite& me to her house. Scarcely any but Foreigners frequent the Garden of Plants, the Libraries, the Museiim, the works in _ the Louvre, the public trionuments, which are she luxury of great Empires, and the ornaments of their capitals. The inhabitants of Paris have so many occupations to attend to, so many invitations which they cannot refuse, so - many solicit,is tious which they have promised 'to mak e , so enact y. unprefikable or sacred assignations, so, many letter. to write, so many Ladies to console, so many in teresting men to visit, that the misrrow almost always surprises them before they has e commenced the hioi ness of the day. Laughing is out of fashion. at Paris ; in the pro. nienades people yawn ; iii the saloons Of company they play ; at the Theatres they roar ; in the city they tutect to prefer the country ; and in the country they propagate the occupations of the city. Every one is eager to exchange his condition. lie is ,a caputte man Who•relinquishes a profession in which he lived obscure and tranquil, to aspire to a place of uncertain duration, and which is sure to ruin hint who holds it.
