description of all that is to bt, iouni og,'•lal or !ntere,32,-
ingis perate.buLtiag tais rich anti spacious metropolis,
and such of its immediate environs as may nearly be
said to form a part of it. It is intended to glance at
all that may be desirable to be known, either by the
perManent resident or the casual visitor. The sketches
are intended to include the fashions—the promenades,
with their splendid restaurants and elegant cafes—the
saloons, and the various entertainments they afford—
the manufactories and warehouses, with the infinite
variety of specimens of art, taste, luxury, splendour,
convenience, and comfort to which the industry of the
capital contributes so largely. Our correspondent does
not propose to confine himself to any formal order or
arrangement, but to notice each object as it presents
itself—to catch " The Cynthia of the minute" as it
may chance to meet his eye--in the course of his
discursive rambles ; selecting for description, how-
ever, only such as are most attractive from their taste,
elegance, or importance. Paris, perhaps, above all the
capitals of the world, affords the most ample materials
for such a task, abounding, as it does beyond all places,
in all that is captivating to the wealthy, and desirable for
the less diluent. Our " peregrinator" commences with
an account of a visit he lately had occasion to make to
the beautiful Parc de St. James, at Neuilly :—" I
reached this charming spot (he writes) by the humble,
but most commodious, conveyance of the. omnibus—a
vehicle which, en passant, demands a volume of-corn-
nuendation—starting from the Louvre, which may be
called the heart of hearts' of the metropolis. The
Parc de St. James has long been distinguished by the
sobriquet of Les Folies, which is derived froni.the enor-
mous, and, as some persons have thought, the some-
what insane expenditure of M. de St. James in its crea-
tion. Be this, however, as it may, the outlay has pro-
duced the most delightful retreat that is to be found
within the entire circle of the metropolitan suburbs,
and one, indeed, rarely met with anywhere else. The
mansion is a concentration of ad that can be de-
sired for comfort, luxury, and internal enjoyment. Its
grounds comprise enchanting varieties of sweeping
lawns, o'ershadowed by trees, the growth of ages, re
freshed and tempered in the summer heats by a length-
ened piece of water, and varied with numerous fancy
buildings and picturesque rocks, pierced with subterra-
nean passages, in which one may wander, secure from
the overpowering heat of a too ardent sun. All the
enjoyments here described came within the reach of not
only private families, with there equipages and servants,
but of the solitary bachelor ; who, taking with him but
his portmanteau, or more convenient carpet bag, may
come hither, and find an apartment to his tare, with
his table spread, and every attendant convenience.
The value of this lovely retreat to the invalid
and convalescent is obvious. The first may
be sure of finding every relief from their
sufferings that air and repose can affird ; and the
second, the means of promoting and enjoying the re-
turn of the first of blessings. Such is the refined taste
and perfect judgment with which all the arrangements
are framed, that every indulgence which a fortune of
thousands a-year could supply, may be obtained at this
establishment at a very economical rate. This mag-
nificent residence has yet been opened but a very few
weeks, but it is already inhabited by numerous guests,
and before the end of the season, it requires little of the
spirit of prophecy to predict, that every chamber and
nook within its walls will have its occupant. I must
not, however, dwell too long on the seductions of this
enchanting spot, but wend my way once more towards
Paris. Alighting under the arcades of the Rue de
Rivole I stroll up the Rue Castiglione. Here, willy-
nilly, I am involuntarily arrested at No. 8, by the
svrtistical display in the magazines of M. Debraux
d'Anglure, of numcrpus works in bronz r, which,
in design and execution, are worthy to vie with
the purest specimens handed down from antiquity.
These gems of modern skill entirely supersede the
too ordinary objects with which even our richest man-
sions have been incumbered. M. Debraux has given
an immense impetus, and altogether a loftier direction,
to this special branch of elegant domestic ornament.
His establishment also comprises rich specimens of can-
delabra and branches for the chimney-piece ; as also
larger works in bronze, adapted to occupy distinguished'
places in the galleries of the cognoscenti. The dimi-
nutive bears of Fratin—the noble statuettes of Me-
rochetti—and the classic groups of Cleudion, receive
equal honour at the hands of M. Debraux. He is now
occupied not only upon new ornaments for chimneys
and consoles, but upon the formation of figures of dogs
—the' dumb best friend of man'—large as life, with
representations of animals in combat with each other.
A statuette at full length of Latour d'Auvergne, after
•Marochetti, in which the countenance, the attitude, the
costume, and the folds of the drapery, are replete
with grace and expression, demands special note of
parting commendation. Turning the corner into the
Rue St. Honore, I could no: but pause before the well
called Maison de Confiance,' Ste. Barbe, deriving its
name and justly-earned reputation from its never devi-
ating, from the prices affixed to every article. These
embrace every thing that can be required for the most
fastieious toilet, from the most ordinary linen up to the
finest lace, muslins, and the richest shawls of India or
France, with sarsenets and Marcelines, for the highest
parure, and splendid brocade for Court dresses. Here,
likewise, are to be found the handsomest materials for
every species of household linen and draperies. All
articles, as I have said, are here found marked
at the lowest charge their nature and cost in ma-
nufacturing will admit of. Crossing the Place Ven-
dome, and sauntering along the Rue de la Paix,
could I resist the temptations exhibited at No. 24, in
so many of the fanciful coquetteries of fashion—
its beautifully open-worked silk stockings, of tSe
finest texture, with ladies4tnittens, richly and elegantly
wrought, supplying the place of gloves and jewels ; the
beauty of which may be imagined, when we state that
the price of them is no less than 20. a-pair. M.
Sarazia's attentions to the ladies has not, however, led
him to neglect the gentlemen, for here are matchless
specimens of black and white silk stockings, delicately
worked by the nand, and likewise those of net-work, so
much in request during the present hot weather, I
could not quit the establishment without pausing to
admire the light and delicate net scarfs, of all sizes,
worked in raies chinees, or in the fashionable style of
the Scotch plaid, with squares of colours varied ad
infinitum, producing a brilliant or more sober effect,
according to their combinations. These are made to
be worn, either on the promenade with other scarfs
or shaws, or thrown lightly over the neck alone,
when entering the ball-room or the saloon in low
dresses. At this warehouse arc also delicate fiehus of
net-work, in black or white silk, equally calculated for
the saloon, sad almost rivalling tuose of lace. Here
my stroll terminated for the day. In my next I pro-
pose to entertain you with the novelties produced by
the return of the shooting season, and in particular with
those of M. Reolf, tailor, No. 10: Rue de Louvois,
who, with a skid worthy the princely Schneider's, told
of in the Arabian Nights, contrive, to unite fashion
with taste and comfort. Before saying adieu, I must,
however, bestow one word upon the latest novelty in
the world of fashions, namely, the Collerette Gizelle,
which, richly embroidered, and hemmed with abund-
ance of the finest lace, and cut in a style of the hap-
piest. grace, is the reigning mode of the day.
