PARIS. SEPT. 14.

A considerable number of English nobility and
' persons of distinction still remain at Paris, although
the greater proportion proceed to the South. Lady
Jersey, who has been here some time, has been sit-
ting to Gerard for her portrait. Mr. Kemble and
Mrs. Siddons are also here; the latter visited the
Louvre on Tuesday. Mr. Grattan has gone on to the
South ; Mr. Curran has returned to England ; his
see, and gritty and accomplished daughter, remain
here. Mr. Tierney and family have left us. Mr.
Serjeent Best remains. Mr. Roscoe is constant in
his attendance at the Royal Library, to which he has
just presented his books, Lorenzo Medid, and Leo
Me MA. Among the most eminent English artists who
daily visit the Losivre, are Messrs. Owen, Watts,
and Stewardson.

There was a rumour last evening of an affiir wbkb
was said to have taken place in the course (4 the day,
between Marshal N—y and Lord Ca—ysf—rt ; the
latter is reported to have received a hell in his arm.
The quarrel it said to have originated in tbi censors
pronounced by the noble Lord en the 'messures of
the King, and which the sew loyalty of the Marshal
could not brook. • '
