that T very imperfectly underatand them. In addition
to thig, I alwaye get tired of publick spectacles of
ghis nature in 3 very short time.
Our dave pass off with an uniformity, of which
people, whe think foreign countries replete with
eharms, can form no idea. The only amusement I
have is an attendance on the lectures at a place cal
lad the * Athenacum of Strangers.” We have al.
ways two, and rrqu. three lectures a’ day, deliv
cred by some of the ablest men i‘n ‘f'ml\ce. The
sbjects are, «mmrhx.mm talian languege,
'.\uu,?al history, chymistty, &e. T have derivose .
v -s. deal of entertainment imm these lectures.
[ taky some pleasire, also, in examining that {m't
of the Erench character, which their journals, their
publick amusenents, Am‘ the streets afford. If we
ave not ﬁd into the yecense of private life ;if
we can no fdea of their domestick character ;
Loy cannot prevent ear ooeh‘: those sirong traits
which thay exhibit to the world. The French have
been called a fivvelous people ; I think the epithet ill
applied, at least .0 the French of the present day.
They are a very gay, lively people, poasessing a scu
sihility which ren Yers them dQ‘e to every thing ; of
course, they are ensily elated or as easily depressed.
But I'can never agree to call the Celts, who feught
the Roman legioos with so much obstinite courage,
nor the modern Pranks, who pursue national glory
with an enthusiasm wever excecded by any nation, a
&r:nb.-u people. Men who leve their country ar
ntly + who are ready to quit all their pleasures
and amisements to encounter the hardships and dan
g:o of the fleld, are every thing rather than fiive
dave. The French, too, are « very industrious peo.
ple. In the eountry, or in the city, you will find few
pction"l: more lmhnt in th;irinlgu?ry than the French. |

MY PEAR BISTER,
- Tam extremely obliged to you for yeur con
stant recollection olul i but you must not expect of
rec that regular supply of letters which I felt obliged
to furnish, when I was the only writer in the family.
As ... writes one letter almost every day, [do net
think youa can be farmished for want of t{is mental
nutrifion ;: and the fear of saying the same things
which she has said, prevente my saying any thing.
Indeed, what have we te say ! There ia not a door of
& Freoch family in Paris, which is not barried %o us ;
and, ham run over all the lions, tygers,espectacles,
shews, and wonders, which may be done in three
weeks, we lead the most hum-drum eort of a life
that cah poseibly be imagined.
1 do not recollect, that T ever pagsed my time in
such a regular, quiet, undisturbed, uninteresting
moenner, since 1 went to school with my satchel on
my baek. Indeed, when a boy, I had my play days
and diversions ; now we have none. The playe Igo
not relish, for the mast obvious reason in the world,
~ PARODY,
