• [FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT AT PARIS.I

PA RIV, Dtc. 3.—ftitle-petident of the event
which has given rise to the present apparent rejoicing, the
Parisians are known to exult on Occasion of riny fête, and in'
a degree beyond what is observed in any other 11-Won. In fact
a fête or holiday, as must be apparent to the slightest observa-
tion of any foreigner, is held in greater reference and respect,
than even that day commanded by the great Author of our
Faith to be pre-eminently sanctified. No tradesmen work on
the days set apart 'for fetes, though they will be found eau'
cising their trades on the Sabbath day.
Yesterday, at an early hour, more of the shops were shut;
greater tranquillity wevailed, and fewer people were observed
on the public streets in general, than on any Sabbath through-
out the year.
About one o'clock the crowds about the Tuileries and Champs
Elizees were immense, to witness the arrival of thak Prince,
who has been an instrument in the hands of a French army in
counteracting the efforts of that class of persons in ,Spain who
had struggled for a Constitution on just and liberal principles,
and restoring Ferdinand to the plenitude of his power, as an
absolute and uncontrouled Monarch.
The Due d'Angouleme, attended by his Aides.de-camps, en-
tered the gate of the Champs Eligesi between one and two
o'clock, upon horseback, where an Address was presented to
him by the Prefect, full of fulsome flattery, in which he is
denominated the " Fearless Warrior, a Conqueror without
vengeance, and whose sword has consecrated the legitimate
employment of valour and arms." To this an answer was
given that " any thing might be done at the head of a French
Army !" " Hear this, ye Foreign Powers !!"
He rode down afterwards the 'Champs Miles, which was
lined with spectators, and a party of young girls were stationed
atone part to present him with flowers. Al discharge of Artil-
lery then announced his arrival in the Tuileries gardens, where
several thousand men, under arms, were stationed, composed
of the National Guards, and some of the troops which had
disembarked at Brest from Spain. The King, Monsieur, the
Duchess of Angoulemeoind Duchess of Berry, appeared at
the centre window of the Tuileries, and remained sometime to
see the different troops pass before them. The Duke of Boor-
deanx did not honour the ceremony with hie presence. The
Duke of Angouleme then joined the Royal group, when the
spectators shouted " Vive le Roi et le Due d'Angouleme."
The walls of the houses of Paris were covered with large
hills, addressed " To the Inhabitants of Paris," calling on
them to receife the Prince in a becoming manner, and pointing
out the great objects he had accomplished in Spain. On many
places were boards exposed with lines full of flattery, and com-
plimentary to the Duke, " Sprung from our Kings."
The Authorities recommended the City to be illuminated.—
If the opinions of the Parisians, with regard to the ex-
pediency of the war to extinguish the flame of liberty in
Spain, are to he ascertained according to the number of
houses lighted up, on this occasion, there will appear
a most woeful minority in favour of the justness of this contest.
Not one-third of the city was illuminated. The most distin-
guished were the Chambers of Deputies, the Hotel of the Mi-
ulster of Finance, and some public offices. In some of the
principal streets, such as the Rue St. Honare, many of the
shutters of houses were entirely closed, and others did not ex-
hibit a single light. In short, thousands of houses were not
illuminated. The gate of the British Ambassador I observed
was shut, and en each side of it, fronting the street, was erected
a pole, 12 feet in height, with a wooden frame in the shape of
hid( a diamond,with the letter A surmounted by a Crown, anti
in small variegated lamps. The whole of this illumination was
as paltry and miserable an exhibitionets can be figured, andmust
appear in that light to any one who has observed the most com-
mon illumination in the provincial towns in England. The
mode here is to place oil in a circular hollow earthen vessel the
size of a biscuit, with a wick in the centre, and tolay it in a direct
line on a shelf along a black board. There are no devices,
such as you see in London—no brilliancy. On this occasion,
though the' Tuileries, as may be supposed, was illuminated,
yet not a single light was seen in the apartments of the King,
Monsieur, or Madtne. Telleyrand's house was completely
in gloom. A number of strangers have flocked to Paris to see
these exhibitions, which are denominated " Superb and Alag-
nifique." The sime-blacks, which were planted along the streets,
had an excellent harvest from the rain which fell, and the mud
collected from the crowds that moved to and fro. Every
hackney-coach and cabriolet was in a state of requisition.
The fête to be given by the city at the Hotel de Ville com-
mences next Tuesday, and will be followed by others, which
are to continue a week.

... _
I should have observed, 'in reference to the public entry of
the Duke, and, es it were, to keep up the interest of the piece,
some of the military who had come troth Spain carried stands
of colours, which appeared as if perforated with shot, and to
shew the Patislerts thatttlevedfut rencontre the French lira sus-
tained to restore the beloved Ferdinand to his just rights
Illadame 'lousier, on her acquittal, returned to her shop in
the Rue de Is Paix, under the sign board " Maisel: de Com.
merce." I see her behind the counter, and the place daily at-
tracts a crowd of people : Kostolo, her chere amie, is to be sent
directly out of the kingdom.
I perceive you have inserted the advertisement as to my poor
friend, the Greek Bishop. Never was there absolutely so real
an object of compassion.
Nine thousand eight hundred and twenty-three Bibles have
been circulated in Ft•ance, by the activity of a Bible Society
established in Paris.
The weather is extremely mild to-day, and the thermometer,
at 8 in the morning, stood at M.

The addition made to the Post. Office esta-
blishment, by the appoiutment of a Packet to
sail regularly for Buenos Ayres, which will also
convey letters for Chile and Peru, hi a groat
point gained for the mercantile interest. Th.
first of the series will sail early in January
next, and others in the first week of every
succeeding month. Some inconveniences, how-
ever, are likely to attend the present arrange-
ment, incidental, indeed, to the packet system
generally as now conducted, and the remedy of
which is so obvious and easy, that it need only
we conceive, be pointed out to be immediately
applied. The packets for Brazil, which convey
letters to Madeira and Teneriffe, as well as to
the different provinces of that rich and ht-
proving country, are also appointed to sail in
the first week of every month, and as many of
the merchants who correspond with Brazil have
establishments likewise in Buenos Ayres, Chile,
or Peru, they will be under the necessity of pre-
paring all their letters for those places in the
sante week, which, if detailed instructions are
required in any mercantile operation, will ho,
wholly impracticable. Independently of the in-
convenience to the merchants, a loss will arise to
the Post.otliCe itself, as the greater part of the let-
ters will of necessity be• intrusted to private ships
from the impossibility of getting ready for the
packet. The early part of the month is also fixed for
departure of the packets for the Mediterranean,
so that nearly the whole correspondence in which
a general merchant can be engaged is compressed
into the short period of one week, leaving the re-
mainder of the month comparatively idle. All
that is wished by the merchants, and no request
can be more reasonable, is that the sailing of
the packets may be distributed over the
whole month, leave it to the Post.otfice to deter-
mine what packet or packets shall sail in the Ist,
2.d, 3d, or 4th week. If the system of dispatch-
ing nearly the whole in the first week is perse-
vered in, when additional packets are establish-
ed, as they shortly will be, to Columbia and
Mexico, the inconvenience will be intolerable.—

By an Address by the Governor of Cuba to
the Inhabitants of that Island, dated August 20,
we learn, that the late contemplated insurrection
was of the most formidable description. Through
carnage and destruction, a democratic form of
Government was to be established, and Cuba
erected into an independent state, under the title
of the Cubatman Republic.---(Glasgorc Courier,
