The British Ireaty-The King and -Thsat-
ricals.
My DEAR BENNETT
Paris is in state of suspended anlmation"-
The Court is out of town--the Chamber of Deputies
dispersed, and the newspapers are languishing for
want of some stimulating event 10 record-the wea-
Their is delightful, but still so warm as to make even
pleasure indoors wearisome
The news this morning of ratification of the
treaty between England and the United States has
given general JOY 1t is Justly regarded event
OF major importance-great and increasing interest
continues to be displayed in every thing that con-
Germs political or social interest Several OF the
leading journals lately have noticed the embarrassed
state OF our finances and the pitable debasement
OF credit. The journal des Debats" makes
the sensible suggestion that the bold, wise who
regards his country's good beyond his own tempo
rary popularity, should propose the taxation OF such
articles of food as may be considered uxures-tea,
sugar, coffee &c This is Just the measure the Flrst
Consul adopted to replensh the exhausted Golfers
of revolutionary France, and his wisdom was ap-
plauded and the tax cheerfully paid.
The king continues in good health, and bears
manfuy up against the terrible shock of his lan,en-
ted sons death. In all calamites, there is some
good that follows, however dearly purchased. II Is
strkngly in this case-Louis Philippe, for twelve
years past has given all the energies of his great mind
Il
perence, to the sole use and benefit OF his country
As matter OF course, ingenious and wicked men
have vlllfied his motives, opposed his enlightened
acts, and sought TO render him in the peoples eyes,
an object OF suspicion, dislike, and hate. How well
they succeed, let the unsparng abuse, and the re-
peated assaults upon his valuable life attest. At
last Providence, that hitherto sustained him, smote
him too terrible blow but the universal sympa-
thy for his grief has softened the public heart, and
cleared their vision. They regard him more Justly.
No longer blinded by the deceptive mlsts arising
from the heated soil OF faction, the public begin 10
believe and comprehend the invaluable services the
King has rendered them, and Louis Philippe will
live to be pardoned for the good he has done them
In the theatrical way there is nothing TO record
Notes of harmonious preparation are sounding from
the grand opera announcements are made OF a
new opera rehearsing. This of course is musical
event that excites curiosity. The ballet department
of the grand opera is sadly deficient. Since the de-
parture of Fanny Elssler, has al all succeed
ed in supplying the hiatus she left. Several new
baeis have been given, but their success has been
very limited. Md. Elsser has not settled her nego
tiation with the present Director who will soon give
place to another, when better result may be ex-
pected This fair wanderer has been most cordial
ly welcomed back to her native Germany-and at
Berlin received marked kindnesses from the royal
family, who talked with her great deal about Anne
Americans were never more scarce at Paris, tor
which plentiful reasons doubtless could be given
When the season grows brighter will write you
again There many things yet unsaid of Paris,
that should like to comment upon-and will be
better disposed that way wien this bright of
France shines less goriousy. l am off to the Bots
de Boulogne. Au reUoir.
