The large number Of strangers now in Paris has
suggested to the Common Council of our city to
give grand festival ut the Hotel de Vile, which
will take place at the end of the month. NJ Ber-
ger, the able and amiable Prefect Of the Depart
ment of la Seine, has already such reputation as
hosptable gentleman, that there is no doubt
this ball will be grand affair. Ho went to Loa-
don few days ago, not only to visit the Exhibition,
but also to obtain exact and correct list of all
the leading persons nov in that city, and to invite
them to the Channel and to be present at this
Jae.
1t is generally thought that the festival, of which
/ have already spoken in one of my letters, which
will last week, and will present to the sight of all
beholders the most astonishing assemblage of
entertainments and pleasures of all kinds, will
take place during the last week Of August. The
intention Of the government, under the patronage
OF which this festival will be given, is to attract
during that period large xd. and thus to caus
the currency to run into the pockets Of the Par
sians, as well as 10 create an excitement whic
win be profitable to the city
Balloon ana flying machines still mt the utmos
dpogte. Every week We have three regular ascen-
sioIs, viz two at tho Hippodrome-one on Sunday
the other on Thursday-and at the Champ de Mars,
every sunday. The first are directed by the Bro
theirs Godart and the second by M. Poitevin.
Every time these two gentlemen make their daring
experiments, their filed with gers and
many a me ericans have already undertaken Journey
through the air with the utmost courage. 'Amon
them, the newspapers have given the name of M.
BIsdane, whom no one knows in Paris. / was told
this gentleman is from New York. But now, who
is he Is not that name msprint. and does it not
mean Mr. Brisbane, the well known 80 ciast writer
Of the Tribune This will be better oxpla N ed in
New York by some of his intimate friends, who
know IL he is in Paris or not.
In the meantime the prohibition which had been
Of M. Poiteyn, does not exist any more, and, not
only satisfied with this experiment, | am told that
the daring aeronaut will soon exhibit the mammoth
elephant Of the menagerie Of NJ de Masslia tied to
his balloon Eagle" and carried through the air.
1his will be grand sight.
very extraordinary experiment in swimming
was made On sunday last in the river Seine. Six
men, whose bodies were surrounded with the new

ard were thus held in perpendicular way, without
going TO the bottom. bottle was opened by them;

Last, not least, the flying machine, invented by
Don Diego, Of Salamanca, with which this hidal-
20 went into the air with his daughter Rossnra, at
Madrid, will soon be exhibited in Paris. The in
tention Of this inventor Is follow train at full
speed, and to proceed from Paris to Lyons and Bor-
deaux, always flying through the air. The price
Cf machine OF the kind Is not very high for il only
costs ,2CO franc. for gentlemen, and 900 francs
for ladies. II the experiment is successful, Don
Ditgo's intention is to take out patent. Despite
