IXTR4CF OF A .LETTER FROM. PARIS, itINE
"One should imagine that the impotence of Party
in France would have ithposed silence upon the
Libel/ill's, or, at all events, that the- vigilance of
the Police; which wai :never mote alert than at
this moment, would have inspired them with some
apprehension. of. discovery and punishment ; bat
there are some men incorrigible. One of the
grossest libels against the FIAT coNsu'L has just
made its appearance (which, however, was no
sooner effeCted; than it was suPpressed) under the
title of " Celibelle :" it contained a thou Sand of
the most extraordinary reproaches against 1.301-
PARTE, and sotto very violent ,attacks upon his
morality ; the style was, however, by no means
good; and it apvt.red evidently written by one rt.
the Sons of the Church. The §tridest
were made to discoVer this Author; andis nothing
escapes the scrutinizing myrmidons of the Police
in this Country, it was not long before -he ivaS
folind; and,. of course; before he was taken with
several of his accomplites,:- he is a native of Rennes,.
in Brittany; and amongst those of his party; is an
Aid-cie-CaMp of General BEitNAOOTt a. Every
endeavour has been made by a certain Faction to
implicate General IVlCitnu in the business, in
order to make a breach between the Co xsot. and
that Officer ; but BONAFARTE seems not to have
paid the leaSt attention to their insinuations.,
" The Cot;zsui. is going to form a priVate Band of
Music, and put it upon a similar footing with that
of the late Kings of France. It is said that
PAESIELLO,IS to be Dirclor, and that the most
distinguished talents; male and female; are to be
engaged in order to establish the most brilliant
orchestra that France can produce.
" GALLET, the Ballet-master, who was for some
time in England,, is to be engaged under GARD,EL
at the Opera-hcitise'. GAath.t. his clOne every

superiority Of GALLt-r's talents, but; 'at length, •

The direetion Of the Theatres has been attached
to the Minister of the Interior'S departMent, but
it is now going to be transferred to the Pi-efed of
the Palace, who will ad as' the Gentilihonmes de
la Chambre did, in the time of the Monarchy.
Tit lovets of the Theatre are much satisfied at
this change; since RtEbEttEtt paid. little attention
to the Stage-, and his Secretary; FAB iEil FILLET;
is so devoted to TALMAj that he prevents as much
as possible the success of any formidable rival;
and even preventi their appearance.
The Journal de Paris, and some other Papers,
have covered themselves with ridicule, by affeding.
to disapprove of CI-tENIEIt'S Satire, and by dish
alloWing its merits ; the reason Of this critical
severity is; that RctoEttEtt; who is the Editor;
has often "felt the lash of ClittEit's Wit; and
VILLETERQUE; who wrote the article for RCS-
DERER, is employed by him; and wishes to pre.-
serve .his place. The raft is; that CHENIEtt'S work.
has been highly admired,\, and that though some
parts are exceptionable on account of the unjustifi-
able freedom with which he speaks of religion; the
edition was sold off in three days.
" Citizen TA.l4E'titioto who iS very much in..

The original of tile tem Bourse, giVen to simi.
lar Edifices in various Cities of Europe, arises from
a very simple etymol-ogy. There was formerly a
square commodiously situated in the middle of the
City.Of Binges, in which stood a large ancient
building that' had been ereaed by the noble family
of LA BOURSE, (which signifies Purse in French
and-Flemish) whose coat of arms was three purses.
The Merchants of Bruges made this old house the
place of their daily assemblies; and when after Wards
they went to the Fairs of Alftwerp and Mons,•they
called the places they found ,thcte for the assemblies
of the iVlerchants,--, by the name of La Bourse% or.
the Purse. The French IVlerchant3 also carried that.

Toulouse ; yet, Queen ELIZABETH, UpOil viewing

Foreigners still call it the Bourse Royale.

On Wednesday last as the Packet was crossing
from Cowes to Southampton, a large fish was seen
in the water, which was at first but little noticed.
on the supposition of its being a porpoise ; but on
a closer observation of its bulk, form, and anions,
it was clearly ascertained to be a shark. It appear,
ed about twelve or fourteen feet. in length, and the
fin on its hack was frequently about two feet above
the water. It came about a mile within Calshot
Castle, a circumstance considered by the master, of
the Packet as most emraordinary; 'as he -had not
before seen any of these sea monsters-in Southamp.
ton Water ; though he adds (what is perhaps not
generally known) that scarcely a summer passes
without one or more of them being seen by the
Isle of Wight Boats within the Needles. It may
be recolleCted by several of our Readers, that two
years ago a West India shark, darting at an object
in the water, threw itself on shore on the coast of
Sussex, between Brighton and Newhaven, with such
violence, that it was soon killed on the Beach.—
Three newly-arrived West Indiamen were last
week lying in Cowes Road, and it is inferred that
the shark then seen may have followed one of those
ships from its native seas.
HORSE STEALING,--Mr. Southern, of Streatham;
having had a horse stolen from him last week, and
being in pursuit of his horse and the thief, met on
Sunday, in the Borough, with the suspected person

Yesterdal morning he was examined at Union Hall,
before' RICHARD CARPENTER SMITH and G/ DEON
FOURI:ITER, Esqrs. who committed him for further
examination, on suspicion of stealing several !ibises
in Streatham, Croydon, &c. in the county of Surrey.
Bet Ween six and seven o'clock on 'Friday mo:ning,
a man named Charles Seaton, ,a journeyman gun-
smith, put a period to his existence, at his lodgings
in Fleet-lane, by putting a small cannon fixed on a
wooden handle hit° his mouth, and placing a
lighted match to the touch-hole, blew his mouth
almost to pieces.
