PlG7't)'RZ► bP FRANCP:
A fetter from an eminent Irish character in Paris
contains the following paragraphs: we trust the pic-
ture is overcharged :
gg I fear War will soon unfold her tattered banners
on the Continent. This poor country is in a deplor-
able state : a ruined Noblesse, a famished Clergy, a
state of smothered war between the upstarts and the
restored—their finances most distressed, the military
spirit divided, the most opposite opinions as to the
lasting of the present form of things, every thing un-
hinged : yet I really sympathize with this worried,
amiable, and perhaps contemptible people—so full
of talent and vice—so frivolous, so inconstant, and
pone to change—so ferocious ton ill their fickleness :
about six revolutions within twenty years, and as
fresh as ever for a new dance.

These strange vicissitudes of man draw tears,
but they also teach wisdom. I never found my mind
so completely a magic lanthorn: such a rapid suc-
cession of disjointed images—the pest, the present,
the future, pcssibly. One ought not to be hasty in
taking up bid impressions, and I need not say, that
three weeks can give but little room for observation;
but from what I do see, and learn from others who
have seen long and deeply, I have conceived the
worst idea of social Paris.

" Every thing on the surface is harrible—beastli
nesses, which with us db.not exist. They actually
seem, in their talk and practice, to cultivate a fami-
liarity with nastiness. In every public place, they
are spitting on your shoes, in your plate, almost in
your mouth. Such community of secretions is scarcely
to be borne. • Then the contrast makes it worse—
gaudiness more striking by filth—the splendid palace
for tlse ruler, the ht,vol and the sink for the ruled—
the fiae bux kir the despot, the pigeon-holes fine the
people ! and it strikes me with sadness that the wo-
men c In be little more than the figurantes, receiving
a mock reverence, merely to carry on the drama,
but neither chrished nor respected.
.4 How tile the feeling and the taste that can de-

"grade them from being the real directors and mis-
tresses of man, to be the mere soubrettes of society—
gilded and smart, and dexterous and vicious!—Even
before the Revolution manners were bad enough, but
many causes since ha f e rubbed off the silding. The
exile of the Nobles, the succession of. low men to
power; ani more than all, the elevation of plebeian
soldiers to high rank, promoting of course their trolls
!o a station where manners and morals were under

their influence ; and this added to the horrible example
set by Bonaparte himself in his own interior. Add
to this, what must have seat down the contagion to
the stil lower orders, the Conscription—the wretched
men marrying without preference, merely to avoid
the army, and then running into that army to escape
their ill-chosen partners. All these causes most have
conspired to make a-frightful carnage in manners
and morals too. In short, I 2rn persuaded that a
single monster has done more to dem ralize and to
civilize this country than a centnry c.,:rt repair.
We agreed go to the Clatml re des Deputies.
One If the Members chanced to have heard of my
name. was extremely courteous;...-lamented that 1
should be a mere auditor, but should take care that
Ibe placed according to My high worthiness. We
were accordingly placed per Pronisrs Tribrinfs. • The
question was to be the Liberty of the Press, and of a
previous censorship, The Baron had some difficulty
in working us forward, and .said how happy he was
in succeeding. I assured Wins I was neatly delighted
by fhe'dfficulty. as it marked the just point of soli-
citude of the public. „
" The Chamber is very handsome. The President
facet the assembly. Before him is a Tribune, which
the Orator ascends, and, reads his speech, with his
back to
,the President. We waited anxiously. I
thought I shared in the throb of a public heart. We
observed some bustle—the seats of the* intense, reserv-
ed for the hie/pliers? becalm crowdeclto excess by the
Ladies, admitted I know not how.
" The order r:r.strangers to retire was read—the
Ladies would not sdr. The President could find no
remedy, and. adjourned the House to next day. I
Was rather disgusted. erh, Byron asked sue what
we would have done ill England? I said, we had
too much Aspect for our Indies to permit them to re-
main. He shook his head—l did not understand

what he meant. But does not this prove what I said j
4 day or two ago (for this is written by starts) to be
truell that women here have only mock respect r'
If rejtl, would they have dreamed of such a silly
termagancy ? Does it not mark their unfeeling cox-
'combry and apathy in the public interest, and how
fit they are. to be the mothers of the Gracchi ? And
yet, women here are vain of their sway ; I can iota.
,pine nothing more humiliating than such Saturnalia*
licen:iousness. I however, went next day.
. .
66 There was a previous list of the orators tiro and
eon. they mounted alternately, and read written
speeches, the echo was strong, I lost much; but how
c.in any man read his own speeches ?—he may read
the speech ut tl dead.ot attsent. It is any thing but
discussion ; the oratoi sweats his face, notwithstand-
ing the sedateness of the exertion, and when he stops
to think, which is part of the performance, the whole•
issembly humble their handkerchiefs, and trumpet
in the most perfect time and unison, to the great ani-
mation and interest of the speech, and no doubt to
the great comfort of the auditors, who must have had
their secretions brimful during their attention. The
question Will aot be decided, probably, in many days.
The Press is surely the great sentinel—it gives the
light to see, and the tongue to speak.
• They say, the Russians always eat the candles
before they swal!ow the people. I cannot tell. you
how interested I am—l begin to doubt if man ought
to be monopolized, or his taper (however dim it may
he) pot under the bushel of mere private confined
affection.
• Some, it seems, are afraid of the sudden mis-
chiefs that might arise among a volatile people, if
restraint was removed too soon. I own, it •never
was my notion. But I kaow not how far thele fears'
miy be real or feigned. Such is the fate of rein-
Igtions, nothing certain but blood : the march of the
Captives begins through a red sea, and after forty
years in seeking•new abodes and strange gods, the
leader seldom sees the promised land, or at least
dies before his foot has touched it. What is it
here at least but the succession of wretches doing the
duty of the hangman, till it is the turn of each to be
thi victiart .
