Americans in Paris have been especially
spoken of in the London papers. The
Globe of the 7th inst. says:-"Madame
Tudor, an American lady, is noted for the
immense crowds that she assemblies in her
saloons-her fetes indeed, are called
assemblages of the whole world, or the
world condensed, for there is scarcely a
nation in any of the four quarters of the
globe that is not represented in the man.

distinguished veteran soldier, his Imperi.

MED by his son, the Archduke Frederick,
and their suites. Twas gratifying to see
one of the most celebrated soldiers OF
Europe showing respect to the memory
of the most renowned of America. The
The Prince Altieri, Apostolical Nuncio !;
the Ambassadors of England, France,
and Turkey their Royal Highnesses the
Princes Wasa, the Hereditary Grand
Duke OF Baden, and the Prince OF Mas
sau, who are passing the winter at Vien-
ma; the Foreign Ministers of the different
Courts of Europe, with many of the most
distinguished Of the Austrian and Hunga-
rian nobility of both sexes, honored the
day by their presence. A fine marble
bust of Washington was conspicuously
placed, surrounded by flowers and ever.
green's, which attracted much attention.
The arrangement of the dancing-saloon
and ladies' toilet were tastefully and ele-
gantly made, under the direction of her
Highness Princess Metternich, whose alta.
BILE, graceful, and dignifed manner of re-
ception throughout the evening elected the
admiration of all !; and it was generally
remarked tina, the Princess never looked
more beautiful and fascinating. The CON-
pany consisted of about $50 ofthe elite
and beauty of Vienna. The night was
gay and animated in the extreme, and
the dance was kept up with spirit until 8
in the morning in which their Hghnesses
the Princess Metternich, and Esterhazy,
and the Princess Clary, occasionally join
de, and impaired additional interest and
animation 10 the festivities of the evening.
The absence of Prince Meiternlch was
deeply lamented, he having expressed his
own sincere regret, not having been able
to attend either of the Court balls during
the season. Thus in Vienna has Wash
ington's birthday been celebrated, evin-
cling that the great and good men of every
age are appreciated by the intelligent and
noble of every country. The American
Minister used every exertion 10 render
the evening agreeable to his distinguished
guests, and has ample cause to be graft
fed at his success and the American
nation should be proud to know that the
name OF Washington is held in the high
est respect in Europe as we'll as America.

executed by Stranuss and his band. His
