PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

PARIS, Maw 12.
The news communicated to the Ministry from all parts
of the kingdom, has thrown it into the utmost consternation ; and,
according to their respective temperaments, those who compose it
AN either terrified or indifferent Each has also a journal at com-
mand, to express his sentiments and wishes. " Dissolve the Cham-
bers" is the cry of all, " otherwise you are lost !" On the tiler
bide all the Prefab reply. " If you dissolve die Chambers yostore
lost I" Hurried on by the torrent which is about to overwhelm
them, the Ministers repeat with all their strength, " Friends come
to our aid !" while the Latta throw back two articles of
the Charter as the only mode of saving them. By the 14th,
the Ministers will elect the Deputies themselves : by the
63rd, the Prevotal Courts will know how to enforce obe-
dience. They still fancy themselves in 1815. It required 50,000
teeelgn bayonets to rs.establiah the Oriental Courts. These foreigners
will not return, and if grand Provosts are named, they sill have but
a short reign. That which ought, however, at length to dissipate
illusions,
theirill is the journey of the DAUPHIN. It was against the
grain, and with great uneasiness, that this journey was undertaken.
All sorts of pains were taken to excite a little enthusiasm, and yet
nothing but coolness and indifference were manifested along the
whole road. Reaching Toulon on the 3d, the reception of the DA V•
rum was precisely the same. On the next day he reviewed the
army, but could not remain on the ground half an hour. Another
hour, at farthest, was devoted to a superficial inspection of the fleet,
and in going through a sham disembarkation of that to be effected
at Algiers. He set off next day foe Marseilles, the old bulwark
of royalty. Here the reception was till worse, and his stay •
was therefore only prolonged, till the next morning. Yet do the
Journals who repeated that the Duke D'AwciouLanz would be
present at the embarkation, now gravely assure us that he set out
with the intention of doing no more than be has done !
It it still uncertain whether BOURMONT will retain the eonfloaud
of the army. The order for embarking and putting to sea, will be
given from Paris; but 1 have reason to believe that the expedition
will not sail before the end of the month. The grand object of it is
lost. It has not created the fervor that was expected. —R4 pre.

COVENT-GARDBN.

We yesterday had only room to announce that the benefit of
Miss PATON attracted a most numerous and fashionable audience :
from the exertions which she made on that occasion, we feel it due
to her, as among the first favorites of the public, to say, that
she never appeared before them with more effect. If the part
of Jeuiea afforded no scope for those powers which Miss
PATON is acknowledged to possess as an actress, she made ample
amends for it by the tasteful elegance of her dress, which was admi-
rably suited to adorn a fine face and figure. Among the songs in.
traduced in the Play, " Love like a shadow dies," was executed La
the very best style of this charming vocalist, and deservedly encored.
With all our deference for old customs, and public taste, we
freely confess ourselves at a loss to know upon what principle the
Beggar's Opera continues to be so highly favoured by managers,
and so well received by the audience. The dialogue is vulgar and
grossly indelicate throughout, the moral execrable ; while the man.
nen it is evidently intended to pourtray, are so degrading, that the
sooner they are forgotten the better, more especially, at a time when,
it is universally agreed that the Stage ought to exercise a salutary,
indeed of a noxious influence, over the public mind. Having said
thus much, we are ready to admit, that If any thing can
justify the continued representation of this Opera, it is that
portion of the songs, which neither time not circumstance, can
rob of their well-deserved popularity. Those allotted to Miss
PATON, were beautifully sung on Thursday night, and drew down
rapturous applause. We have already said that Miss Cayes was
eminently successful as Lay. Indeed, had It not been announced
in the bills, we should never have imagined it lumber first appear-
ance in that character. The fascinating naivete orthis rising ac.
tress has been seldom more happily developed than in the scene in
which she wreaks all the wrath of disappointed and unrequited love
on the head of the perfidious Macheath. Already a deserved fa.
Take of the public, we venture to predict that the popularity of
Miss CADIZ is rapidly on the increase. WOOD, who personated
the Hero of St. Giles', acquitted himself both in the acting and
singing with great effect, and was encored in two of the songs.

Mr. J. Priest, watch and clock maker, of Newark, hun
nearly completed a working model of a steam-engine, tai
so small a scale that it only weighs half an ounce ; and the
packing-case in which it is placed is a walnut-shell. This
ingenious and mechanical effort was undertaken merely
for a wager between some gentlemen of Derby.—Stam-
