EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

From the Me sayer des (Admires of Tuesday, (2d Edition.)
PARIS, JULY 27, Room.
"The following ordinance was posted up yesterday evening in
Paris ;—We, Prefect of Police, &e. seeing the ordinance of the
King, dated the 25th inst. which puts spin in force articles 1,2,
and 9, of the law of the 21st of October, 1814, Ate. we have or-
dained and ordain u follows :—Art. 1. Every individual who shall
distribute printed writings, on which there shall not be the true in-
thcation of the names, profession, and residence, of the au-
thor and of the painter, or who shall give to the public the

Pants, JULT 26.--VIOLATION OF THE CNALETEI.—AIO-
- Or THE LAWll.—Violence has triumphed in the councils
of the King. The constitution of the state is attacked in its founds.
tiors—the body politic is dissolved. France is replaced by the crime
of the Ministers an the provisional situation from which the charter
had saved it on the 4th of June, 1814. The legal title which
would legitimate the raising of the taxes in 1831, has just been de.
...toyed. The aime for which Ministers are going to answer before
the nation has been characterised by the Royal Court of Paris
to the sentence pissed upon us with respect to the Breton sub.
saiption. In condemning us for having published that does.
ment, the magistrates have declared that the imputation was *thou which ascribed to Ministers the intention of overthrowing

the bases of the constitutional guarantees established by the charter,
and the design attributed to them criminal, either to enact and to
levy taxes not assented to by the two Chambers, or to change
illegally Mentor& of eltelions—This odious Imputation has become
an official truth—this criminal intention is realised.

THE ERCHANCIE, THREE O'CLOCIL—An immense crowd
went to the Exchange to.day ; curiosity and uneasiness were im-
pressed on every countenance. Even those persons whose previous
opinions were justified, or their interests promoted by the state of
the Change, were not able to rejoice at it. After all that was ob.
served, as absurd and mad in the ordinances, what was most talked
of was the infamy of the maneeuvre, by the aid of which a well-known
jobber bad taken advantage for the account of a Minister, of the
coup d'etat, which that Minister had had in his portfolio ever since
the7th inst. The fall has been evidently checked by the re-purchases
of jobbers, who had acted on the supposition of a coup treat,
and who had profits to realize. When these operations shall be
liquidated, there will doubtless be no buyers but those who shall
believe that despotism and tyranny are a regime favourable to the
development of the public wealth and credit.

" FIVE O'CLOCK.
" Theagitation has constantly increased. The 3 per Cent.. arc
offered at 74f. 6ltc. without buyers. Every body anxiouly inquires,
and all the information agrees in this point, that confidence has been
suddenly suspended. The bankers have shut up their coffers; no
dealings in merchandise are going on ; and we learn from all quar-
ters that directions are given to suspend the purchases that had
been ordered.

" It would be difficult for us to express the impression produced
by so unexpected a blow on the immense concourse of merchants of
every description who are assembled on 'Change today. The next
account of the revenue will make the Ministry acquainted.

(From Li Globe.)
After some preliminary observations, the Globe says How.
ever, the charter and the laws offer us a last resource. The
ordinances are null, the Chambers are not dissolved. The
dissolution is null, because the Chamber of Deputies has nei-
ther been assembled nor verified. As far as it exists it
exists still. It is regularly convoked for the 3d, and at all
events, according to the charter, it ought to meet by right on the
17th of August; we depend on its not failing to do as the charter
directs. After all, we confide without fear the defence of legal
liberty, by legal means, to the bravest nation in the universe : the
days of a new glory are come for France. A letter, accompanying
the express says—The three per cents. remain offered at 7% Thus
the fall since Saturday is 7 francs.

The Constitutionnet and the Debate have not been published this
morning —The editors of the Nations,/ and Temps have this morn-
ing resisted the officers who came to brzak up their presses. They
did not tesist by open force, but the officers who were accompanied
with a great display of military force were obliged to force the doors.
The presses were then defactd amidst the remonstrances of the pro-
prietors. Since this morning the gendarmerie has been stationed on
the Boulevards and about the Exchange.

There has been some disturbance at the Palais Royal, and at
the hotel of Prince Polignac, the windows of which were broken.
In general the capital presents an appearance of extraordinary agi-
tation : above 40 couriers were despatched yesterday in different
directions. A postcript, dated 6 o'clock p.m. uys, "It is affirmed
fresh troubles have taken place at the Palais Royal, but at present
all that hi true is confined to sonic assemblages of people. to the
closing of the shops in some quarters, and to the report of the march
of some battalions which are doubtless sent to prevent disorders.
The National has a spirited article. of which the following is the
conclusion :—The Government has this day lost the character of le-
gality which commands obedience. We resist it in what concerns
ourselves. It is for France to determine how far her resistance
ought to extend. The following editors and managers of jour-
ash now in Paris have signed a spirited remonstrance :

been personally pursuing their canvass in Dover, for these last ten
days, and, it is said, with every prospect of success ; and but night,
Mr. Halcombe made his entry into Dover, the populace drawing
his carriage, and accompanied by a group of at least 2000 inhabi-
tants. The contest was expected to be no less.severe than expen.
sive ; but to preserve order, great numbers of additional special
constables have this day been sworn in.

IVEIF SONG ON OLD SIMILES.
The Bard. of all countries and ages,
Prove futile the art they profess.
When Woman their talent engages,
And her beauties they strive to express ; (I)
They Similes vainly apply all,
The praise of the fan to proclaim,
But when through creation they try all.
No parallel charms they can name.
King Solomon, all things so deep in,
Strange choice of a Shepherdess shows ;
Her eyes were like Pools. &la to keep in !
Like Lebanon's Towet was her nose ! (2)
And Horace, so curious in diction,
Quite chills us with Glycera's charms ; (3)
Were her beauties of Marble no fiction,
What a true frigid, cone were her arms !
An Elephant, Ladies, they make you,
When your teeth, as of lery, they praise;
And when, far the Sun. they mistake you,
Your face must be all in a blaze ! (4)
No such charms I should wish to discover
'Ti. your dear flesh and blood which I prize;
And Jaggernaut might be your Lover, (5)
Bad you really got Diamonds for eyes.
With metaphors Poets too, try you,
Meaning more than the eye always meets ;
Thus they wish with a rake to supply you.
When they call you a Garden of Sweets !
And when they all over have stuck you. (li)
With 'Allies and Roses so gay,
That they would, if they could, come and pluck you,
The Puppies mean really to say.
The Lips of a girl, plump and pouting,
Resemble red coral, some cry,
While others exclaim, without doubting,
They are cherries which tempt us to buy : (7)
Now, to my mind, most stupid the Bard is
Who such kind of language could hold,
}or the coral, I'm sure, much too hard is,
And the cherries, I swear, are too cold.
Such Rhymsters must surely be guessing,
And cannot their subjects well know ;
Anita so soft as the lips, pulpy pressing
Or what can so thrillingly glow ?
If a Simile then, 'twere my duty,
To find for the Lips I adore,
They arc like—to each other—in beauty,
1 might say, but 1 dare not say more.

(1.) Although it be not necessary to " swear to the truth of •
song," yet it may be remarked that there is some truth in what is
here said en badinaye ; for we shall find on reflection, that the'
similes which have been employed by the poets of all countries and
ages, to illustrate the personal charms of the fair sex, are few in
number, and consequently become very hacknied in application. A
friend has just pointed out, in Hunt's very entertaining and in-'
structive Ileflector, some remarks on Ills subject, and the follow-
ing extract from Shim Icy's Comedy of the Sisters
pity men of your high fancy
Should dishonour their own name by forming
Prodigious shapes of beauty in our sex.
If I were really what you so commend,
Mankind would fly me—
Two suns, instead of eyes, and they rot melt
The forehead made of snow ; no cheek but two
Roars inoculated on a lily;
Between • pendant alabaster nose ;
Lips cut out of coral, and no teeth but strings of pearl.
(2.) " Thine eyes axe like the fish-ponds in lieshbon by the Gate
of Itatit-rabbin : thy nose is u the Tower of Lebanon, which look-
eth towards Damascus.”—Soloason's Song, chap. vii. v. G.
(3.) Urit (Hymn nitor
Splendentis Pans immune purius.
Hon (Me xix. lib. 1.

(4.) Potts, who have likened their mistresses to the sun, are in.
numerable : Petrarch forms two or three of his sonnets on this, in
one sense, although not in another, cold conceit. But perhaps the
most outrageous application of it to be found extant, is in the works
of Votture. It appears to have been a favourite conceit with that
writer; and one of his sonnets is really so amusingly extravawt,
that I am tempted to quote it here, with a translation, which lope
will be found sufficiently faithful.—lt is the following:—

SONNET.
Sous an habit de lieuts L nymphe que radon,
L'autre soir apparut si brillante en ces
Que l'eclat de son mint et eeluy de les yeux,
Tout la monde la pelt pour la naissante Aurore.
La terre, en Is voyant, fit mille fleurs &lore,
L'air Put par tout remply de chantes melodieus.
Et les teux de In nuit paslirent dans les deux,
Et creurent que le jour recommervit encore.
be soleil qui totnbom dans le sein de Thftia,
R'allumant tout 1 coup see rayons swords.
hit bourne' see chevaux pour aller apres elk.
Et l'cmpire de Hots ne l'eust ague retenir ;
Male la tegartlant miens, et la voyant si bell ,
II at cache sous l'onde. et n'osa revenir.
In transcribing the above I have retained the old orthography of
the author.

TRANSLATION.
Brilliant in charms, the nymph I love, last night
Appear'd deck'd out in all the flowers of May;
Iler eyes and her complexion shone so bright,
Mortals conceiv'd it was the Dawn of Day.
The Barth put forth of flowers a rich display,
The air was filled with warblings of delight ;
The Stars of night withdrew their feeble ray,
Believing it the Morn's returning light.
Sol, who in Thetis' bosom had retir'd,
His late extinguish'd beams lit up again ;
And turn'd his steeds, to chase the Maid desigu'd,
Which Ocean vainly struggled to restrain.
But when he saw the maiden's face so fair,
He slunk beneath the waves in deep despair.
Butler has successfully ridiculed this hacknied hyperbole, when
he makes Hudibru say in making love,
" Those Heavenly attracts of yours, your eyes
And face, that all the world surprise,
Do dazzle all that look upon ye,
And turn all other ladies tawny."
(6.) Jaggernaut, the immense Indian idol, by whose chariot an.
nually so many Hindoos, it is said, suffered themselves to be crushed
to death, and was supposed to have had two large diamonds for eyes.
They were, however, when the Idol was submitted to military sou.
tiny, found only to be imitation diamonds—for the priest is as
keen a judge of diamonds as the soldier, and had anticipated the
latter in his researches.
(6) " A garden enclosed is my sister"—" Thy plants are in
orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruit' —" Let my be.
loved come into his garden, and eat his please:me fruits."—The He.
brew expression isfraits of attoffillCSS...4:ile Solomon's Song, chap.
4, verses 12, 13, 14, and 16.
(7) The " Cherry-ripe" of Herrick is well known ; but he is no.
the original nee only dealer in poetical cherries.—He likewise might
be quoted as to coral lips.
