ANOTUEReircum stance very unpleasant to a
sgavellee is, tne m-.ggmmu and uniformity of the
roads in France. Iknow that it has become ex.
ecedingly fuﬁi‘mm in our country to have our new
roads as steaight as poasible, but we shall lose in
pleasure dll thit we giim in distance.
The surface of the country in France is vastly
less varied, and less be;utifu{than in the New Eng
latl of “middle states. ‘There is not that variety in
their cultivation, which renderd our scenery so pléas
infg ‘Pirticdlar portions of the connuz\u'e devoted
to wheat, and others to vineyards. the wheat
country you will ride fifty miles without seeing any
thing but wheat fields ; and in the wine eountry vou
perceive nothing but vineyards. The v'meyn'x- are
very for from bc:ing an ornamental species of culture.
When the crop is harvested, the wheat country’ ap
pears like a vast and drear{' desert, and as there are
nuither fenges, walls or “’dﬁ"' and a very great
scarcity of trees, the eye wanders in vain in search
of objects, whereon to repase itself. Iknow of no
nutural views to which I can compare this part, and
it is much the hrgu‘t;‘rm of their secnery, but to
the ocean where no | is to be seen ; but I think
the oreun superiour to it in the Enmlcur of the
ideag which it inspires, in the liveliness which its
motion affords, and in the beautiful calour and varied
form of its waves. If you except Normandy and
the banks of one-av two.of thejr rivers, you sce very
little grass. There are none ol! those verdant lawns
and smiling meadows to which we are accustorhed,
and which, covered with herds and flocks, form the
finest lcel\‘f( in the world. Thave often passed one
hundred miles in France, without seeing a s .
d?mcotick m b‘:t t‘l;e horse. That t{ll lpm
of scenery isagveeable ‘to us, is wot the
eﬁ,?, of m;diee, for we can cite in favour of eur
opinions all thg poets and painters of every age, aad
of e'efx‘uuon_.

In Fraoce, as I haye remarked, the Wm
post is regulated by law, and the on/y persons w
whom you have negessarily any connection in your
journies are the postillions,the postmasters, the inn
keepers, and the servants at hotels. T will give you
some general idea of these several descriptions of
persons.
The postillions mal be considered as a Kind of
inferiour officers. They are under the regulation of
the law ; they ususlly continue in the office for life,
andy, aftcr serving a certaim number of years, they
are entitled to a pemsion from government. Their
“uniferm is a blue coat with a red cupe, and they are
obliged to wear « large silver badge upon their arms,
with the imdperiatcax upon it. Another peculiari
ty in their l":l\'l:ﬂ: ganir of cnor:ow boots, so
large, that it i utmogt di can
nor?-t, and it is impossible to walk in tbe-‘.u{lun
often becn astonishedthat the French shounld perse
vere in adhering to an ancient usage, so painful, in
conyenient and dangerous as this is. I have conjce
tured that the motive for m;gm, them, wis to
proteet the leg of the postillion from the Jﬁole,or from
the weight of the horse m case he should fall upon it,
which it woukd mest effectually do ; but so difficult do
they find it to mownt and dismount, snd so dungerous
would these enormous machines be, in case tbc?mrws
were to start, that 1 think the balance much against
them. (Letter 26th to be gontinned.)
