On which such notes Seraphic hung;
Say, why so partial could'sr thou be;
Ali ! why not send thy shaft at me?
Why leave me here on earth to roam,
In sad remembrance of that home,
Where hours and days, and years I sate,
With my belov'd Angelic mate ?
.Why should- I here alone remain,
To sing one dull and 'pensive strain, .
Or frantic, wand'ring, lift my eyes
To chase her spirit through the skies
Oh, liSten- to the boon I crave,

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM PARIS, AUG. 2.
/170,11 have heard, no doubt, much concerning the
severe Police of this Capital, and; in one respeet,
all you have heard is true. Nothing can he more
vigilant than the Police in all matters of a Political
Kind. It is almost impossible to hold a conversa-
tion that has the least allthion to the operations of
.Govetpment, even in private houses, without being
in danger of having all yore said reported to-some of
FoucHE's numerous and aCtive myrmidons. More
allowance in this respea is made for Foreigners than
for.the Citizens of the French Republic, who are eX-
peCied to be content with an order of things that
has put a stop to the Guillotine, if it has not af-
forded them any more 'Liberty. The' Fiend-Cid.
;ens, while they lament that the Freedom ofwhich
they.have been so long and so anxiously in pursuit,
and for which they have made such dreadful sacri-
fices, is 'a
mere shadow, feel the propriety of this
expeetation on the part of Government. They sub-
mit to the disappointment with philosophic apathy,
-or endeavour to drown Refledion in a constant ca.
reer of Dissipation.
" But though the Police is thus vigilant upon all
matters_of a Political Kind, it relaxes in the same
proportion respeEting such inferior matters as re-
late to the convenience of Common Life,. and the
ordinary course of. Justice. Pick-pockets parade the
streets. every night in crowds, and seem to be em-
boiciened:bygthe toleration of the Magistracy. I
twill give,:pyou a proof of this remark in what' oc-
ourred.a few evenings ago. ,
" Air English Clergyman, incoming out of the
Opera House, felt the attempt of a man to purloin
his watch. The Clergyman seized the hand of the
thief, before he had taken the watch out-of the
fob, but the fellow, instead of desisting, and en-
deavouring, to escape, exerted all his strength, drew
out the watch, and threw it among his associates.
He-then attempted to make off, but the Clergyman,
like one of his own Country's Bulldogs, kept fast
hold pf the culprit. He was surrounded by a gang
of ruffians who immediately began to. interrogate
him on his right to seize -a French Citizen,-but the
Clergyman, being supported by some friend's, suc-
ceeded in getting the fellow into' the hands of an
Officer of Justice. He attended the next morning
at the proper Tribunal to make his complaint, and,
to give you a specimen of Republican manners, the
Prosecutor- and -the Robber were both placed close
to each other on the same bench, and the latter,
without the -least ceremony, kept his hat on
before the Officer of Justice. After the Gentle-
man had stated the whole transaElion, supported by
the testimony of persons present on the spot, the
Prosecutor was advised to conproar;se the affair. He
insisted on justice, and was therefore referred from
Office to Office, apparently_ with a view to tire
him, and render-him hopeless in the pursuit of it.
At length, however, the tart was so clear, and the
perseverance 'of the Prosecutor so determined, that
shame, rather than a sense of Justice, brought upon
the Robber the' sentence of imprisonment for a
year. , As the Prosecutor,. however, was expected
to sraybut a short time in France, it was generally
believect.aiat. the Robber would be set at liberty,- as
soon as it *as known that the Accuser had left the
Country,—.—Such is the boasted Vigilance, and such
the Justice of the Republican Police..,,
" It is difficult for you, well as you are acquainted
with London, to find any parts of that City, in the
worst weather, in so dirty a condition, as the best
streets of the Consular Capital. Women cannot
walk a foot, and it might be supposed that the City
is kept in this filthy condition in consequence of a
anepaa between the Police and the Hatiney-Coach.
men.
" As to the men, their general habits preclude them
from rnuch concern about dirt, as they can hardly be
rendered more slovenly and dingy in their appear-
ance. A great coat, without any other, over a
shirt that seems to be totally at variance with Soap,
are infallible marks of a Parisian Beau, at all Public
Places.
