mense excitement by the appearance Of the now
tragedy by NM. Lacroix and Nlsquet, entitled
"Valeria," in which Nine Rachel personated two
characters. This first performance took place on
eminent people of Paris. The plot of the new

lures she gave during the two last weeks. This
talented lady, who reads Shakespeare with skill,
visited by nearly all the fashionable people of
Paris and though the audience was not considcra-
BILE, it was nevertheless, so select that it was "tp
