EMU OUR CORAZSPO*DENII
PARIS, p... 18.

There is not much going forward at present of any great
pu!.tic interest, except the anxious efforts made by the
Ministry to exclude any man of known talent and integrity
from being chosen by the electors, and getting a seat in the
R presentative Body. The fewer the number of votes the
greater the chance of Ministers to control the majority by
means of patronage and influence. No effort is left untried
en their part to gain an accession of adherents ; and this
can only be done by restricting the right of suffinge to so
small a number of voters, that the majority may be within
the operative reach of corruption. The etnigrant party
have, however, no chance of any effective and permanent as-
cendancy. All that is going on is but preparatory to that
4. shaking of dm nations" to which we shall all come before ,
many mass are over our heads.
'flaitestivity of the moment puts an end, for the present,
to all unpleasant thoughts. When this gala month comes
to a close we shall have leisure for reflection. Ilerodotus,
you may remember, tells us, that in Egypt, towards the
close of every entertainment, a small coffin, having the
effigy of Death upon it, was carried round to the guests.
Such a MCllO'l4lO is quite superfluous in these days.
Heaven knows, there are checks enough upon our cheer-
fulness, without carrying round the cross-bones. !Misfor-
tune always treads close enough upon the heels of pleasure,
and enough may be found in the events of every passing
day to furnish ample matter for meditation on the vanity
of human life. The wardrobe of purple and fine linen is
never far from the supply of sackcloth and ashes.
In my last, I gave you a hasty sketch of the improve-
raents of the CO; Mille Culonnes in the Palais Royal; I
shall now give you an outline of the embellishments intro-
duced into the Cafj Turk on the Boulevards de Temple,
oproiite l'Ambigu and La Gatti!, those temples of Thalia,
in which we have so often laughed at Les Faeces Fran-
eaise. This Crdi:, celebrated for more than half a century
as the rendezvous of La Bonne Societe of Paris, has been
closed for several months, for the purpose of undergoing a
thorough repair, and has been recently re-opened in a most
splendid style. 'f he Salon presents a cicep etred of
oc-i:ntal magnificence ; the walls are richly decorated with
plate glass, which reflects the whole interior, in which are
four octagon columns tastefully painted in devices; each
surrounded by four light pillars of white and gold, in the
centre of which is a pelt., or stove of octagon shape, richly
ornamented with eleslgna of crimson and gold, on the top of
which is placed a beau til ul candelabrum. The column, of cut
cry ate!, is about four feet iu height ; the base is of hronze gilt,
and studded with a profusion ofealoured stones, in imitation
of eastern gems; the whole surtnouree 1 by a large globe of
ground glass, round which extend eight branches of gilt
bronz', terminating each in a small globe, serving as S -
i.eltiL.s to that in the centre ; every one puts forth a bright
lame, supplied by purified oil. From each quarter of the
room is suspended an elegantly cut crystal lustre, having
ei,;ht lamps inclosed in globes, corresponding with the cen-
irzi candolabra. 'fie whole, though brilliant, is soft, :ncl
.inely harmonized : there is no offensive glare; the eff ct is
ere:hinting. Nothing can exeeen the magnificence of the
~..yriploir which is supported by six light pillars; the panels
between display the richest delineations of pictorial fancy,
enchtsed in c diamond-cut frame of gold, studded with
braant stones, corresponding with the ',ode in the centre.
The ceiling is painted in Moresque and Greek devices, in
red and gold ; a double cornice. richly gilt,and studded with
stones, adds a transcendent finish to the whole. I Minch side
of the compiair, which is greatly indebted to nature fur
the attractions of the lovely liontmadiere who presides, are
folding-doors richly gilt, and glazed with stained purple
frjasc.. These communicate with a second coffee-room and
two handsome billiard-rooms. The seats are in the same
style of decoration, being of rich Turkey carpeting. The
tot, ensemble of this splendid establishment presents a
e.'ser derail:re of the kind, and pmelaires to every beholder
the tine taste and ornamental skill of Mons. Visconti, the
architect, who informed me that he hail consulted the
works of Milleng on Constantinople, Labcrele on the archi-
tecture of Spain, as well as other works on Turkish inte-
riors, which, he r'ys, hear a strong resemblance to the
interiors discovered in I'ompeii, which forcibly struck his
attention. There is no doubt that this sumptuous estab-
IHnuent will hmonie the fashionable Tilton of the beau
mingle of Paris, when the gardens are completed.
I remember, historically, a proclamation of king James,
eautioning the Commons not fro speak ff Slate o//lira. Ilan
any such proclamation been issued on your side the water ?
We hear nothing of late, neither facts nor fables.

We are exceedingly sorry to announce that the Earl of
I'mley has been prt..ented attending Parliament by a
-every attack of the gout. His Lordship's establishment'
hail removed to town, whither the Noble Earl intended
proceeding the day subsequent to his becoming indisposed.
