We stated few days since, that a deputaton Of
gentlemen from Philadelphia had be received at the
Hotel de Vile, by the Project OF the Seine with an
address Expressive of the admiration entertained by the
inhabitants 81 that city for the noble conduct Of the Pa
risians during the glorious days OF July The depua.
ton was introduced by Gen. Lafayette Ia the even
ing, grand dinner given ia honor of the OCCASION
at which Mr.. Rves the American Minister, returning
thanks for toast Of the United States and the ah Of
President Jackson" addressed the company as fol-
lows:-

unbounded admiration, how populaou-brave and
generous-can be forbearng after having been sub
