can see the Tulleries-the gardens-the orange
trees-the statues-the groups of morning promena-
ders--some of them reading the newspapers, and
Others mending their morals or their stockings. Oh!
of the peculiar propensity of the Parsians to read
ia public, will speak at full length hereafter. This
Is one of their peculiar features. In every garden
in the Paais Roya-on the Boulevards- every where
the number of persons that are seen reading the
newspapers would astonlsh No such ghl Is seen

To return second time the incidents of yester-
day. After spending the morning IN the usual way,
my friend and | made visit TO Mr. Fonblanque,
who resides during his visit here at Meurlces Hotel
We found him in. This gentleman bears high re-
putation in London as political writer of great force

n is rather tall and slender, with a marked counte-
nance, touched with intellect His manners are ve
ry calm, gen,lemanly and dspassonate. He receiv-
ed me very cordially, and gave me kind invitation
to visit him in London. We were not long together,
but, while we were, talked principally of France,
England and the United States.
"The first thing that struck me-" said Mr. f., con
arriving in France, was the uncommon ccarress of
the atmosphere. We have nothing like it in Eng

and streets crowded with beggars. see few
none now. Indeed the whole nation seems TO be
happier and more comfortable"

States, than what was prepared TO expect. Indeed
they have caught the genuine Yankee spirit"
We then talked little of theatres, gardens, the
state of parties in England the position of the Queen
aad the wings, the banking systems OF France, Scot
land and the United States.
