LITERATURE IN FRANcE.-Literary men in
France are more priced BY the fair sex than they
are among us here. The best matches are at
their disposal, and the enthusiasm extends it
self even to the English residents. a short
tine since, Alfred de Vigny, poet, romance
writer, and dramatist, became united in mar
rage to an English heiress, who was a great
adnirer Of his works, and brought him respect
able fortune A few months elapsed, and dis
tant relative Of the lady, dying unexpectedly,
left her fortune exceeding 100000 De Wig
ny and his bride are now, it may be believed, a
nong the first fashionables Of Paris. During the
same year another eminent writer, Gustave
blanche, celebrated for his inexorabe criticisms,
has had the good fortune to come in, quite as un-
expectedly, for patrimony Of 100000 francs
There are few, very few, Of our English literary
men, whose lives are not tho,e Of continued
struggle with pecuniary difficulties. 1t is for
eign fiddlers, singers, and darcers alone that
John Bull patronizes.-English paper.
