ngeful than ornamental, for the crowd

Tastefully arranged drapery of gorgeous appearance, and
a selection of rare exotics, decorated the steps to the
banquet hall, and produced a most brilliant and graceful
effect. The interior of the hall itself was really magnifi-
cent. A double row 42 candelabra, holding six burning

tapers, and the flags of all nations were suspended from
the ceilings. The amber colored window hangings were
arranged with exquisite taste, and the long line of tables
were covered with porcelain of the most varied and
elegant design. The dinner was unboundedly sump.

tuous, and out of compliment to " Old England."
the veritable rosbif and plum pudding had been specially
provided, and many a joke and repartee were exchanged
over it. The wines were capital, and were, you may be
assured, well appreciated on ell sides. Lord Granville's
concluding remarks to his well spoken speech, that " he
begged to drink, in a glass of wine—one of those delicious
products of our fertile soil—to the prosperity of the City
of Paris," was a graceful and well-timed compliment.
There was a magnificent band in the orchestra, which

possible, to the zaiety of the assembly, and, in my opinion,
it was no inappropriate place for the representative of the
ce'estial empire. The prefect filled the principal seat. and
was supported by the nuncio and the Marquis of Nor-
manby. There were nearly 600 present. Somehow or

other the London aldermen were speedily recognised,
notwithstanding their entry was exceedingly unostenta-
tious—indeed. I did hear some hints about " skulking,"
and in some quarters certain whispers were floating as to

of corpulency, for which a Parisian outfitter is unprepared,
had something to do with it. Some of them, however, I

endeavouring to adopt their deportments to their swords
and lace, but we are, as you know, not novices in assum-
ing gaiety ourselves, and can detect a bad hand in no
9nnais.. remem- time

After the dinner came the toasts. Lord Granville's
speech was much admired, and indeed it deserved to be
so. All being over, the company availed themselves of
the talents of Madlle. Bohan in Mediein Malgre lui,"
which delighted us.

On Sunday morning the grande maire attended at the
British Embassy. and heard a sermon, by Dr. Hale, on
the horrors of war, and the blessings of peace. In the
afternoon his Lordship, the Aldermen, and the Royal Com-
missioners set off for Versailles by special trains. The rail-
way terminus was thronged. —in fact all Parisseemed in a

ferment. Train after train was despatched. Upon their ar-
rival at the gates of this famed and beautiful palace, owing,
I hear, to some ceremonial forgetfulness, many of the

guests, comprising some of the aforesaid aldermen, were
doomed to a three hours' penance of hammering at the

gates before they were adniitted, and in the presence too
of a smiling crowd and plenty of dust. However, in they
all got at last, and after an inspection of the beautiful
paintings in the Palace. the company were entertained by
the Prefect. In the evening a fete commenced, and the
gardens of Versailles, with their beautiful fountains, and
crowded with spectators, presented the most imposing ap.
pearance that ever I saw.
Several balloons went up. From two of them the parties
descended in parachutes. The first, a man, fell into the
Seine, and was nearly drowned ; the second, a woman,
alighted upon the top of a tree, and all but broke her
neck. The President of the Republic, who saw her
descend, sent her a compliment for her audacity,

On Monday. the President gave a grand file at St.
Cloud, which 1 need hardly say was most magnificent.
The President. attended by a brilliant military cortege,
arrived at three o'clock, and promenaded the grounds,
with a lady leaning on his arm. He was received with
cheers, and cries of " Vive Napoleon !" The Lord Mayor
and thu,Corporation were introduced by Lord Normanby.
In the evening, the gardens were brilliantly illuminated,
and wore an enchanting appearance—partaking more of a
romance than of a reality. At eight o'clock the company
rof visitors to- began to leave.

On Tuesday, Lord Normanby entertained the visitors
at the embassy. The President was present, and there
was no small degree of excitement on the part of the Lon-
doners on the occasion of an opportunity offerine for a

formal presentation. The Cockney aldermen were ex-
tremely clamorous and bustling. and one of them, securing
the fortune of being presented by the Lnrd Mayor, he
presented the rest of his brethren. lam sure this piece
of ceremony—for T am told that ceremony is always agree-
able to an alderman—has compensated for all their previ-
ous disappointments. The President, of course, received
them very courteously, and they felt they bad been highly
honoured.

The fete was truly delightful, and the beautirul gardens

of the embassy were rendered enchanting. But the great
performance of the day was the ball in the evening at the
Hotel de Ville. The brilliancy of the assembly really
surpasses description. There were 6,000 persons present,
and the spacious and superbly-fitted suite of rooms of the
hotel afforded every facility for the appreciation of all the
rank, beauty, and fashion of Paris. It was the general
opinion,—and I think a just one, that the English ladies bore

with years of military service, assumed a gay and youthful
aspect ; and a tall, erect figare, in military costume, was
pointed nut to me as the peaceable Governor of the Bank
of England. The Chinese Mandarin will, assuredly, after
all this, form his own opinion of the "English barbarians."
The identical room in the Hotel de Ville, in which
Rob(

Terre received the wound which he carried to the
scaffold, was the scene of a magnificent breakfast, at which
every delicacy was provided,—in fact every art of French
epicurism was brought into request to please the palates
and excite the wonder of our English guests. The Prefect

Lord Granville, who proposed the health of the President.
Both toasts were most warmly received,
But the great event of the day, and the one which will
create the most lasting impression, was the spectacle of
une petite guerre, in the Champ de Mars. Mr. Cobden
must really have been disgusted. It was a most brilliant
display of military science. To the southward of the Seine
were seen columns of infantry drawn up in battle array,
flanked by squadrons of cavalry. The quays of the river
were converted into batteries of artillery. General
Guillabert commanded the troops, and the desired object
h I was to cross the river at two points, one to the left, and

In the evening there was a grand performance at the
Opera of portions of Le Juive and Les Huguenots. The
scenery was elegant, and exhibited an admirable represen-

finale of the honours to be paid to the English guests.
THURSDAY.—To-day the English visitors are taking
their departure. The President has invited many of
them to remain, that he may receive them at the ElysCe,
as their ambassadors had neglected to present them.
The Lord Mayor took leave of the President to-day. He
left the Hotel de Ville at one o'clock, in the carriage of
the Prefect, and was escorted by a detachment of the
Municipal Guard. He was enthusiastically cheered, and
loud and many were the expressions of a bon voyage.

THE Mootts.--The note of preparation for the " 12th" is
now being audibly heard. Advance parties are passing daily
to the approaching campaign, which, we are glad to state, this
season promises to be more than usually good, birds being
both numerous and strong, and the weather, if it continue as
at present, delightful.—Montrose Review.
