INTO PARIS.

The celebrated Cameleopard has at le:ngth made
its solemn entry into Paris. This important event
occurred on Saturday, at fire o'clock in the after-
noon. A negro of Dafour, nanava Atir, and a Moor
of Lennaar, named Hassan, It'oth sent by the Pacha
of Egypt, and wearing turlAns, led the animal along,
and were
ufollowedwits t
by linvo other Africans. His tra-
velling
composed of
French arms. "waxed cloth, ornamented with the
Ins. An escort of twenty-five gendarmes
was ser:t to meet him at the barrier of Villeneuve
St-. 'George's. During the whole journey from Mar-
' "seifies to Paris, three gendarmes were sent with him
fkom every post, in order to protect him against Cu. people. A carriage, with several other ani-
mals, sent by the Pacha f Egypt, was at the bead
of the procession; at the tail of which we remarked
M. Geoffroy saint Hilaire, who, neglecting his
own health for the advantages of science, had ac-
companied it continually for several leapes, and had
only confided the care of it to his son, when his
disease became so violent that a greater effort might
have cost him his life. The Cabinet of the Jardin
des Plantes is the first establishment in Europe
which possessed the skin of a Cameleopard. Subse-
quently some other Museums succeeded in obtain-
ing them; but since the conquests of the Roman
Empire, no living Cameleopard has been brought to
Europe. It seems to be even rare in. Central Africa,
its native country.

The present one is twelve feet high, from the
upper part of the head. It is now two years old,
and will grow much larger. Hitherto it has lived
on milk, but it now begins to eat herbs and grain.
Its skin is speckled like the leopard's, and this re-
semblance has acquired for it the name of cameleo-
pard. Its large and brilliant eye must have fur-
nished to the Arabian poets as many fine compari-
sons as those of the gazelle. It was truly an asto-
nishing sight to see it approaching its new habita-
tion, with an escort of Egyptians, gendarmes, and
curious people. Its elegant head was on a level
with the foliage of the chesnut trees; its long neck
balanced gracefully above the crowd; and its largo
black eye was full of mild and cheerful lustre. Has-
san and Atir, proud of the beauty of their country..
man, had ornamented his neck with a large garlnzd
of flowers, and Arabian amulets were hanging on
the side of the flowers. There was something in
the sight which recalled the Arabian Nir'nts. It
was placed in the orangery, with the oth r.ereEgyptian
animals sent at the same time. On Memday it took
its first walk. More than ten thousand persons
have been to see it, the public tieing admitted to
see it every day between ten arid twelve o'clock.
