PARIS, OCT. 20.—Thursday Mr. CANNING had the
honour to dine at the Tuileries with the KING and
Royal Family. The Courier Francais says upon this
subject—" The superstitions of etiquette and the vani-
ties of the Court have just received a check which dis-
concerts them. The Minister of a foreign Government,
a plebeian, who has no other title than that r f being a
great orator, a skilful statesman, and an eloquent
proclaimer of a system of civil, commercial, and
religious liberty, has had the honour to sit tcoday at
the KING'S table. In this CHARLES X. has done
what appeared quite natural to /hum IV. and the
chiefs of our ancient monarchy. It was sot till the time
of LOUIS XIV. that forms more Asiatic than really
French were introduced round the throne. A barrier
which scarcely existed any where except at the Courts
of Vetsailles and Madrid has thus fallen, after a month's
ht sitation, before illustrious renown. Such an example,
undoubtedly, will not be confined to foreigners; but
the KING of FRANCE will grant the same distinction to
the merit and services of his subjects. This morning
Mr. CANNING breakfasted at St. Ouen with one of our
principal manufacturers; and this evening he had the
honour to dine at the Tuilleries with the KING and Royal
Family. None but men thrown by mistake into our
age—none but old courtiers, are capable of being aston-
ished at what is so proper and conformable to the spirit
of the French Charter and the British Constitution.
Such are consequences and inspirations of constitutional
royalty in both countries." It is expected that the Right
Hon. Gentleman will leave Paris for London on Mon-
'day or Tuesday.
