THE AUSTRIAN ARCHDUKES.

The Quotidienne contains the following amusing
paragraph :
• .‘ The Archdukes John and Lewis have given per-
mission to a German journalist to publislk some et-
tracts from a journal which they kept tiering their
stay in England. These Princes examined withcarc
the English manufactures and agriculture
give also some details as to the style of living in the
upper classes, which are not within the reach of all
travellers. The magnificent interior of the countrv-
seats, the taste of the furniture, the amiable and de-
corous freedom of their conversations, the interest
which the women excite, as much by their cultiva-
ted minds as by their charms--these are the points
which struck these illustrious travellers during their
abode in the cour.try. It is there, say they, that you
should study the high society of England, and even
the character of aft its Gentlemen. London is merely
a large inn ; it is at his country house that the Eng-
lishman is hospitable and amiable. The Archdukes
describe the manner of dining at the Marquis of,
Anglesea's. It presents a novelty for our gourmands;l
after (I) soup they took cold punch. A ce/tbrittdl
agriculturist, the Chevalier Sebright, had the Princes
for his guests, and shewed them Itis numerous ma-
chines. Miss Sebright is a simante (a scientific hey)
—she made an experiment in galvanism beetle the
Archdukes, with a little galvanic battery. The Che-
Tralier Sebright grows such enormous ttsrnip4 that
one (lag he sent to his sister 19 partridges in tlte
hollcw of one of these roots.-
