in7Ncii, 1:-.d the denunciations against certain English
journals, contained in the French Government organ, the
Moniteur, I believe that Louis NAPOLEON has nothing to
do with the aforesaid denunciations, desecrations, or what-
ever they are: called, beyond having given his sanction to
the government writers saying something on the subject.
Probably the most ignorant.Tclass of litterateurs in the
world are your small, half-educated, and altogether us-
travelled French political writers, though they are not half
so bad now as was the case even twenty years ago, when
Sir PEEL, Sir DUNCOMBE, and other bits of nonsense
studded the whitey-brown columns of the Parisian papers .
—they, I mean the writers in Paris, are still far behind
having a true understanding or appreciation of the genius,
so to speak, of the English language. Hence the quota-
tions and translations made upon passages said to have
been In the Times, for example, are' so far wide of the
truth, that they are in reality other articles, not only in
spirit but in word. .To give the " gentleman in black"
(theEsirEnon's evening costume) his due, I do not think
he saw one of the articles in the Moniteur before it was
published. Louis NAPOLEON is no fool, whatever he
may be in other regards, though it certainly does
smack of the veriest folly to give circulation in the French
papers to such obnoxious statements, which otherwise
would never have come to the knowledge of half a million
of the seven or eight who are represented to have voted
for L' Erupereur.

A fop of a writer—let's see—CHESTERFIELD it was, says
that human nature is the same all over the world, though
education and habit may make all the difference. Certes,
if your readers know much of the women of Paris, from
those buxom ones of the fishmarket, kissed so recently by
the Emperor, up to the delicate plants of the salons, who
look as if a zephyr would destroy,—they, the readers of
the Standard, will easily believe that the Parisian belles
are anything but pleased at the :new imperial declaration
of love to Miss FITZPATRICK,—I beg pardon—the most
lovely Countess DE TEnS, who has, in Paris fcr the last

three months, attracted all eyes in admiration of her peer-
less beauty. A capital breed that must be from Spanish
and Irish. WISEMAN, Cardinal, par example LOLA
MONTEZ. So also the destined Empress of France.

don't mistake, has mentioned that he has the same frisky
