BZALIN, OCIODER at.

Besides his Imperial Majesty the Emperor Alex-
a:lder and her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess
Catherine of Qldenburgh, we have here his High-
ness the Hereditary Grand Duke of Weimar, with
his consort the Grand Duchess Maria, sister to the
Emperor of Russia, who arrived here last Sunday
afternoon. A great many of the Emperor's horses
and equipages arrived here yesterday.
Bei tin is now in a state of bustle which contrasts
greath• with the late comparative tranquillity when
the King wis away. Numerous strangers of distinc-
ti,,n arrive daily from all parts of the kingdom. Ge-
neral York and Prince Gallitzin arc just arrived.

FROM THE RHENISH MERCURY.
PARIS OCTORER

The iquszum is at an end.• W11:11 the Florentines'
aid the Romans had taken away their property, the I
Gall,ry was broken up ; and one could see how little
the French had of their own. The minds of this
p..orle have ever been turned to comedy. What is
prviit and serious in art is foreign to them, and they
have n,:ser been disposed to employ much money in
the acquisition of works of art. Had the Govern-
si:ent employed the half million which it annually
spent upon the Grand Opera in the purchase of paint-
ititv,, it might have had such galleries as the German
P: lures at Munich, Dresden, Dusseldorf, and Cassel.
It was rrot till after war gave them an opportunity of
stealing the treasures of xrt that they took a liking to
them. Canova is now busy in taking the Roman sta.
to for the Pope.' They are partly secured by ma-
sol.ry, particularly those pans which are thin and
th.l:cate, nod liable to break.
When the French took them, they surrounded
them with a mould of plaister of Paris. This is said
t injure the surface of the statues, and to be parti-
cl;larly distinguishable in the Medician Venus. The
l'sluseutit resembles a packing room; they are barn-
riitaing and packing, and crying out and swearing,
and that.in almost all languages—" EO, mon tat I"
said a Frenchman to-day," il ne now rule que lea Inters."
Canova packed up the L neoon and the *oh first of
all. I saw the latter, for the last time, when he was
bricked up to the knee, and the Italian language was
again spoken all round him.
It is a pleasure to observe here, how the Germans
bold tcgether ; how the war and outcry unite the
eiffcrent races with each other; how old prejudices
and narrow views vanish in the common feeling ; are
we not all children of the same blood ?
What has mortified the French even more than the
removal of the Museum, is the taking down of the
horses from the triumphal arch. The 39th of Sep-
tember, and the 10th of October were glorious days,
when we felt so fully that we were here as con-
querors. lILAVEN had thrown some French art&
ces in our way, as k usually does when the German
affairs do not go on so smoothly as they should.
Ab:.ut six o'clock the first horse came down ; about
seven the second. As it grew dark, the two others
were left to the following morning. This was a
Sunday.
When the horses were down, the Austrians drew
off; the French crowded to the place, and gazed upon
the Cr of Victory, and the two Genii of France and
Victory that remained standing. It was a scene of
lamentation ; all their phrases were vanished into
nothing ; they knew not what to say. The great
Eagle was now also gone from the car.. In the night
somebody had told him to go with hint. Some Said,

France must be greatly hinsbled to bear that in
open-day; and the ornaments—they did not belong
to the foreigners—the car was made at Paris this
was all they had to say. Though the horses are not
heavy, each weighing only 15001bs. there was some
difficulty in getting them down, as no scaffolding was
erected. The English managed it with admirable
simplicity, in something of a sailor-like manner, and
it was a pleasure to see how lightly they placed the
horses upon the camp carriages of the Austrians, who
then diove off with them. The next day, when the
Austrians took down the Lion of St. Mars, a rope
snapped, the Lion fell down, and broke a leg. This
was a great joy to the French, and all the French
who stood round, cried Vive le Roi! This time it
came from their hearts, more so than when the Po-
lice makes them cry out.
