PRIVATE LETTER.

PARIS, MARCH 9.—The Review of tuiedi, (Sa-
turday) was more fplendidly attended' than any
other for fume months pall, and, confidered mere-
ly as a firßack, was fii.gularly magnificent. The
large window over the grand entrance of the
Thuilleries was occupied by Madame Bow MITE,
her daughter, the Ladies of the Counfellors of
State, *cc. The fecund and Third Confuls, the
Ambaffittlors, General BEURMONVIttE, who is re-
turned from Prullia, occupied the adjoining feats.
All the windows of the Palace were filled on the
occafion ; the admittance is by cards, Wiled by
General Duitoc, as Governor. The troops, to
the number of fiocm, were fotmed in the inclofed
[quire before the Thnilleries, which reaches near-
ly to the el-diva/a place d Carouft Tu a contralled
drelfes of the Manieltikes, the Guides, the Sap-
peurs, relieved the onifot nth y of the lines, and
added to the general effcn. The Confular Guard,
horfe and foot, occupied the tide of the square next
the palace. A finer body of men was never fecn ;
agd this can readily he fuppolccl, when it is con-
fidered that they are the elite of tit: French troops,
in o which no man can be admiz ted, wit hout pro4s
of his having dillinguithedhimfelf in rive fucceffivt
actions. • Before them were the corps of Guides,
drcdcd in teal let. The other fide of the square
was occupied by the gar ii to of Paris. At twelve
o'clock the Firit Conful circled, icing accompa
nied by the whole of his Stair. The drcfs of there
Officers is rich beyond defcription, being nearly
covered with embroitl:ry. BUN.% rAR vs was mount•
ed on a white horre, and dreiled as a Volunteer,
twat is, in a plain blue coat, without any ornament
wh, tever. He rode before each line, refpatfully
taking off his hat as be paired each (land of co-
lours: he then took his lituation in the centre,
and the troops palfzei before him in grand divi-
tions. There was no fcopc for evolutions, &c. hut
every movement was marked with uncommon
firmnefs and precition.
In 17. evening, the Firft Conful unexpaledly
made his tiro pubic appearance at the Opera. He
fameily preferved a degree of incognito, fitting in
the back of a box, and only (hewing himfellocca-
lionally. On this occalion he took his feat in front,
accompan;ul by his Lady. He wore the fame
plain drefs as at the review ; hi. Staff, it: their fu
perb uniforms, jioN/ behind him for the whole of
the evening. On his entrance, h: Was received with
two diflinet and general peols of applaufe, which
he returned, by bowing courteoully to all around.
During the whole of the evening, the eyes of the
audience were ti2.ed upon him, excepting only
when Vim rots and Madens. CH Ara /soy made their
appearance. I need not dcferibe to you the danc-
ing of Visrsts ; it is fufficient to fay, that he has
101 l nothing of his former grace, agility, or of that
firmneli which is here termed a p!axb. Madem.
C n Art EIIOY is not happy in her figure, which is ra-
ther crib:vita ; but flu throces with exquifite (kill
and circa. It was their firll appearance, after an
excurtlon of fome months to the South of France ;
the Houfe was in confequence occupied by all that
is ht illiant or fashionable in Paris.

I hear from good authority that the bufinefs of
the Concordat is laid afide for the prefent. The
Firft Conful is faid to have been ditgufted by the
intrigues of fume of the emigrants, and partici):
larly of the Clergy, on this tubjea. The efforts
of thole who were hoftile to a religious eftablifh-
ment moll probably had alio their weight. At all
events, it is certain that Cardinal CAPRA64I is re-
turning to Rome re ilfecia.
The entreating jez!olify and fufpicion of the
FIRST CC%SUL 11..ve fpread atlrM through every
circle of domeliic fociety. More than tiny No-
blemen have fled ft orn Paris in confequence of the
late arrefis. Indeed, when we confider the tri-
vial grounds alledged for theft: proceedings, no-
body, who takes an naive part in any public con-
cern, or who lots not kept a confiant guard upon
his tongue, can confider himfelf fafe.—" Ed-
ward in broiland" has in truth been attended with
the moll ferious confequences. lluvsL, theaup-
poled author, is fent into exile at Rennes ; Le.
HARPS, the loppofed reviler of it, has been fen-
teneesi to a lintilar fate. Another new play has
been lame produced, and flopped in confequence
of its giving frell offence to the FIRST CONSUL.
It is . The Antichamber, or Les Valets Mai-
tre.% The livery of the Valet was fo richly em-
broidered, that feveral of the audience compared
it to the Confular drefs. This refernblance was
confirms' Otto an intended infult to the great man.
The name of the piece too, The Valet turned
Mailer," was alfo confidered as an attack upon
his upflart fortune. This piece has mortified him
more than Edward in Sprat:n:4 if we may judge
from the punifilment infliaed on the author, who,
to atone f,ir hi:, offence, has been fent to St. Do-
mingo. He is the young Durn-rv, fun of the fa-
mous Magitirate of that name. There are not the
only rubs which the Fitsr Cossuo has met to
hurt his feelings. The noble malady to which he
is fubjea (the itch) has re-appeared to the great
joy of the Arifiocrats. who aired to fay that he is
heir apparent to the crown of England, as he is
Prince de Cale. The pun is not a bad one in
French ; but wit will not always bear tranflation.
An event lately occurred at the Thcatie here,
which has afforded great pleafure and much con-
verfation. During the performance, Lady Ca Pi I k
was very free in converfation, to the annoyance
of fome neighbouring rich contractors and their
ladies, who, ;nailing on decorum, fent a Police
Officer to order filence. The police of the The-

:n T

Lad ythip did not brook the Peace Officer's rebuke,
and refuting to obey his injunctions, he was pro-
ceeding to hand her out, not knowing who the
was. A bottle arofe in the box, which attracting
chfereation, her Ladyfhip addrefred the audience,
and complained to them, laying, the came from a
Lind of liberty to a country as the fuppofed of
freedom, and that the proceedings now againft
her were worfe than if the Mille (till exifted.—
The audience caught fire in a moment, applauded
to the titles, and efpoufed her Ladythip's caufe to
warmly, that the took her feat again in triumph,
and is now confidered as a privileged perfon to
talk as much as the pleafes. The French admire
her fpirit extremely.
