kingdom Of Greece will be augmented with the
coun tries of Epirus, Cyprus, Chloe, and the Ionian
Islands.

The merry balls of our Carnival are resounding
all Paris, despite the political struggle of all
parties and all gaiety and che erfulness Private
feelings are rendered more excitable by the fine
and unforeseen kind Of weather which we still en-
joy. Letters which receive from the south of
France, announce that all the almond, peach, and
apricot trees are blossoming, and that even the
olive trees are on the eve Of opening the snowy
buds OF their flowers. All these precocious marks
of spring are, Of course, exciting persons who
are fond of amusements; "the Carnival will be
Short, they say; we therefore enjoy it, and pass
our time as merrily as possible.
Balls and parties OF all sorts were quite numerous
last week. At the Eysoe the crowd was immense
on Thursday last: More than five thousand per-
aOn va fnur nd tive
hundred were present-the remaining invites
being unable TO enter the saloons, retired after
short stay in the ante chamber. Never, in fact,
have seen such number of persons thus packed,
60 there, il was about ten O'clock and the driver
of my hack, when we arrived on the boalevards,
told me that there was the queue beginning at the
entry of the rue Louis lie Grand and Chaussee
d'Autin, at a distance from the Elysee equal
to that from the Battery in New York to the
New York Hotel. OF course | did not follow
the queue; and having passed through come
small streets, arrived at the gates of the Presi-
dental Palace, which l entered on foot two hours
before those who were in their carriages. The
ball was more, 1 would say, sort OF assem-
blsge of all the friends of Louis Napoleon
than dancing party. All the statesmen belonging
TO the present government had congregaied there,
mixed up among officers of all Sorts Many ,ntrus
had also found their way into that party. And who
would believe that saw there three women we'll
known in our public gardens and in the society Of
the frai ones of Paris, who were either enjoying
Mazurka and Schottish, or eating the supper of
the President, and swallowing champagne p
Who would believe, also, that had (horresc0 refe-
,e~s y my pocket picked OF my handkerchief, Aud
| have understood that was not the only one TO
whom this misfortune happened. Nevertheless
this rout- or c0hue, as you will like it better-was
quite sight for stranger, and many of your
counuymen were present. Among the crowd /
met with Messrs Niles, Hartman, Peabody, Mon.
roe, Pllet, &c. Madames Hepburn, and her two

names | cannot recollect. Louis Napoleon was
dressed in the uniform of General of the National
Guard; and, after having promenaded for some
time in his parors, he retired at about half past
eleven, whilst his guests remained u four O'clock
Several balls gwen by the City Halls of Paris,
and their different wards, must also be mentioned
here. Tne First, which took place at the Grand
Opera, was really splendid affair. The whole
theatre was decorated with 90 much taste, and the
flowers aud wax candles were numerous, that
the place seemed to be an enchanted palace Of the
Thousand and One Nights.
At the Jardln d Hlver, on Saturday last, another
splendid festival took place, and attracted large
society. The magnificence of this mammoth green
house, and the luxurious lights, rendered that party
one Of the most splendid Of the season. The Pre-.
sidsnt had taken these two balls under his patron
age, and he renamed there during great part Of
the night.
On Monday last, Monsieur Berger, actual Protect
of the Department OF the Seine, gave anoth
er party, which was equal in magnhcence to the
former given two months ago, OF which gave
full description in my correspondence. All the
ambassa dors and the most distinguished per
sonages of the capital, were there; and with the
exception OF the President, who was not present,
this being the night of his diplomatic reception,
should say that the most respectable and talented
persons Of Paris had responded TO the kind invita-
zion Of Mr. Berger. More than four thousand
guests were, present and the party lasted till five
o'clock.
I have also to mention among the charming
sources that have lately taken place, that given on
l..s II.
dence, very comfortable hotel IN the rue Neuva
des Mathurins. This American gentleman, who
has great number OF friends among the best class
Of our hrst society, organized concert and invit.
bye he is very hospitality but also many persons
OF rank, among whom | were ambassadors,
dplomatists, and last, not least, host OF pretty
women, who were the sweetest ornaments Of his
saloons. The concert consisted OF several pieces
Of our best operas, sung by Mdlle. Miosn, Of the
Comic Opera House, and also Mr.. Arnaut, a barry
tone Of much talent, who is engaged by Lumley,the
manager of the Italian Opera. Tyrolean singer,
had been also secured by Mr.. Phalen, and the en-
tertainment ended with the inimitable comic
songs OF the renowned actor Levassor, who excited
bursts of laughter. A splendid supper. composed
wines and liquors, was also offered TO the guests
of Mr.. Phalen, and must say that his lady did
the honors ef her house admirably.
Mr.; Moulton gave, also, party last evening,
which was splendid affair.
Tie theatres have been dull this week. The
Theatre Moutansier has offered new farce, in one
act, called " Une femme qui perd ses jarreteres,"
which was very successful. The " Lady who has
lost her garters'' is personafed by Mile Duvsl,
beautiful girl, whohas much talent besides personal
charms.
At the Gymnase, a comedy in three acts, by M.
Maseres, entitled lie Collier de perles," was per-
formed on Saturday last, and received with the Ut
most delight. This new play will remain in the re.
pertory OF the theatre, for il is written with much
elegance.
The Porte St Martin was about producing, on
Saturday next, drama in i've acts, by M. Dugne.
called 'sMr Plnchard, or a Rascatv Honest Man."
when the Minister Of the Interior, M. Waisse, who
bad read the manuscript, forbade its appearance on
the stage. This measure has created much sensa.
ton among the authors OF Paris.
