The variable weather-cold, warm, rainy, and
dry-s now in possession Of Paris, and it is quite
difficult to know in the morning how to dress for the
whole day. If one has to remain in Paris it is all

mixed up with the democracy. So far so good, and
! hope no difficulty or disagreement will be found
ir the realization Of that project. A grand naval
aght, series Of theatrical performances, a fine
display Of fireworks in all the principal squares Of
Paris; and grand review Of the National Guard.
Such is the summary OF the programme, TO which
