A Letter frtrrn Paris;to Groaor PPaLIE, Esq. ty the Reverend
JOUN ETWCID I: EusrA.c4.—ST.AwmAN, LudFate-street,

1814, p.p. 28. price 4.
Few writers have of late acquired, and so justly
acquired, a high reputation as an accomplished
traveller, as the Author of the present work. _His
`‘ Tours in Italy" is, indeed, a publication which
raises him to a very elevated rank in the' tilas of
those who have visited foreign countries with in-
telligent'minds, and have communicated the fruits
of their observation in elegant language to their
admiring countrymen. He is the contrast to those
who travel from Dan to Bersheba, and say 'tis all
barren—forlittle that was Worthy of the attention
of the scholar, the critic, the philosopher, or the
politician, seems to have escaped his notice. His
classical and enlightened understandipg grasped at
once what was delightful in literature and the arts;
his sentiments are worthy of his sacred character,
as a Divine of the Church of England ; and when-
ever the nature of his reflexions have led to
tical remarks,' they are such as become a loyal
subject, a patriotic, and a-virtuous Englishmait.
These observations which apply to the "Classical
Tour through Italy.," of which an improved Second
Edition has just appeared, are equally applicable;
though in a less degree, to this minor work,
."
Letter from, Paris." We learn froma very brief
Preface, that the Author was invited by Lord
CARRrNGTON to accompany him in an excursion
to Paris, in the month of June last, and the ob-
servations and reflections which resulted from the
journey are communicated to hiss-friend Mr. Pa-
TRE in- the Work betore us. • After noticing the
gradations of Revolution and‘Rebellion, of
tnestic and Foreign War, of Anarchy and -Des-
potism with which France has' been • afflicted,
during the period of twenty years, he adverts to the
horrible system which' sonic of the Revolutionary
Reformers had in view when they had affected the
downfall -of the' ancient Government, in the fol-
lowing manner
"in the progress of revolutionary madness, a
plan was formed the most daring nod the most sa-
crilegious ever conceived, of anniltiiatinz all,the
institutions of thirty million of 'people ; of sup-
pr'essing all that had previously existed,. and re-
placing the whole religious and civil system, by
new and tinatithorizaid whiins,and theories. ThuS
an attempt. was made to strike nut one link in the
chain of generations,
.to separate man ffolll his
God and his ancestors, to deprive him of all the
lights of history, and all the benefits of experience,
and to let him loose upon himself and. his felloiv-
creatUres, untutored, undisciplined, withotit'any
guide but passion, any impulse bust interest. lit
order to -realize this project of gigantic atheism,.
France was first detached front the European re-
public; the associated firm of Christianand civilized
stat'es ; itsreligiousinstitutions, its universities,
sehools,,and academies, its abbies• and hospitals
were suppressed ;. its parliaments and courts of
justice, its customs and its laws were abolished ;
its armies were dissolved, re-organized, new
modelled, new named ; its banners,, which had so
often led its legions to victory, and had waved
with honour in every quarter of the globe were •
trampled upon, and its oriflumme, the preud stan-
dard of its Monarchs, the object of the love and
the adoration of every French ,soldier, announc-
ing by the lilies of gold on the argent field, the
'honour, the gentleness, and the gallantry of the
Monarch and of his Knights, the orifiamme was
consigned to revolutionary fire, and succeeded by
the tawdry tri-colour of the republic, and the ra-
pacious (a;le of the empire. 'lbis system of corn-
plete disoreanization was carried on througit
every period and by every party that succeeded
each other during the whole revolt:den; sotire.;
times indeed. with less publicity, but always with
equal art and perseverance."
The Author then_enteri into seine remarks on
the general t:,:enery of France, its architectural
remains, charitable institutions, its villages, edu-
cation of youth, and the east reduction of the
male population, and proceeds on his jyrney to
Paris. -Before we take any extracts trout this
part of the. Work, we think it necessary to ob.
serve, and we do so with much pleasure, that in
many of his ohservtions, sentiments., and refiee-
dons, his views strikingly-confirm all the cominti-
nications which we have received from our shreWil
and intelligence correspondent VIATOR.

a little town' remarkable for two churches, tlre-sme
a very handsome modern structure, the other, the
ancient and venerable abbey., which gave its name
to the town that gradually rose around it,' and
flourished :under, its patronage. It was:founded
in -honour of the martyred Bishop Ditmysins the
Apostle of Gaul, by Dagobert, a Prince of the •
Merovingian race ; and was thus °almost coeval
with the Monarchy. Its Abbots distinguished
themselves by their talents and their iiiiegru v,
during many an eventful year ; and $o interwoven
was its history with.that Of the country, that the
annals of St. Denis became the records of l'.srarice.
It was honoured in a particular` manner by the
Royal Family, and was, front its foundation, the
mausoleum' of the Sovereigns of France. It was,
at an early period, 'liariled by the Normans iii one
of their predatory 'inroads, but restored will) in-
creased magnificence, and some time after rebuilt

in its present form by Sager, the belebtat.ccd Ab-
liot,,, who governed France at 13iiteut h theab-
senee of St. Lewis. Its derorAtions; as play easily
be supposed, were Avorthy its Antiquity and high

" The inhabitants ofthe-town.made representa
lions to. l3tioN46liTis, on the.subject,,.and were
flattered with hopes, and promise. Still, how-.
cver, reparations Were neglected, and the pro-
gress of ruin was rapid. At, length, the Em-
peror undertook what the First Consul had-
“leCted = ; St Denis was destined to receive the
ashes of the luiperial dynasty ; and orders were
-issued- to render it worthy in every respect of the
.lidnotirs that awaited it. The royat vaults were.
cleared, repaired, and in many respects consi-
derably improted. The subterraneous chapels
'were re-established, and three, of them fitted up
exqUisite taste and devoted to the memory,of
the preceding dynasties. Jo these chapels, prayers
were daily offered lip for- the repose of the Mero-
-vingian, Carlovingian, and Capetian princes.*
The reparation is continued under the royal ans-
, pices, and excepting the stained windows, the
loss of Which is irreparable, the church of St.
-Denis will probably resume, ere long, its ancient
majesty."
. The altars (callee. Aintels: eawiettoirm) were afterwards
removed by order of Burnt:Tarte, in consequence, it is said,
of an academical squabble. An author well-known for his
talents, 114 S eloquence, and his honourable attacliment to re-
ligion, was chosen a meniher of the hatitat. The new mem-
ber is obliged by custom to pronounce, on his admittance,
the funeral oration, or rather the panegyric of his deceased
predecessor; a task of great delicacy always, and sometimes
of cqiisiderable difficulty. It was peculiar,lrs.6, it seems, on
The presentYoevasion. Tlie- deceased academician had 'in-
dulged himself in some' philosophic invectives against Chris-
tianity; and his successor thought himself -obliged to notice
and condemn his conduct in this respect. The President of
the instant; to whom it is customary to communicate the
discourses to .be delivered on such occasions, refused his,
sanction. Chateauhriand was too spirited to consent to any
omission ; and in the course of the.•-altercation that ensued,
emplOyed the following remarkable:•expression : Si' On me re-
proehe couture -trn.trime d'a-roir lout, les Bourbons, je me re-
11.wi:•rai swis let quirts, crpiat6ires de St. Denis.,' The dispute
was communicated Buouttpartc, who,- with' apparent in-
difference, merely exclaimed, Chatedubmalad a tort: The
expiatory altars disappeared shortly after. •
