Miles Fix and Brohan (and 1t was the "Rivaux d.
| Eux meme" of Moliere) came next, nndwa well re-
ceived. The ball which ended the party was also
brilliant affair, and the toni ensemble will long be
| remembered in Paris.
M. Turgot, the Minister Of Foreign Affairs, is
preparing grand ball, to como off on the 10th inst

adorned with lights and flowers No doubt the affair

One half Of the citizens Of Paris are now in great
despair, owing to the closing Of the shooting season,
which took place on the 18th ult One of tho most
striking points of the French character is tho desire
for shooting parties: among 900 900 ofinhabitants
there about 10, 600 900 sportsmen In Paris this
fashion is reigning to great degree, and every
Sunday persons leave the city to visit the Paine ST.
Denis, Asneres, Argenteuil Colombes, and other
neghboring places, where free shooting is allowed,
while the more fortunate go to the ex-roya} forests
where game is plentiful. The game law prohibiting
the sale of quals, cartridges, pheasans ducks bucks
ana stays put into execution. and the gom7nands
have joined their lamentations to those of the sports
men--and this will keep on till September next.
What will the sportsmen do during these six
months Some will devote their time to fishing,
while many will resume their favorite passion for
the races The first steeplc chase of the season will
come of on Sunday next, at the Chateau do la
Marche, where public exhibition of private
match among gentlemen riders will be given. am
told that it viii be grand affair More anon.
Whilst the dssipated class of the Partisan people
are thus throwing away their money the road there
are great many who devote this holy time to
hgion and in order to meet the ascetic' passion
OF the religious people. the Archbishop Of Paris has
ordered q jubilee to take place in the churches Of
Paris from the 18th of this month till Easter Sun
day. The Pope of Rome, for that occasion, has
granted an entire indulgence to the Catholics, and
this WILL no doubt, attract a large crowd to hear

Pere Ravignan one of the most eloquent orators Of
France, will deliver speech at Notre Dame. and
an English priest will also expound the gospel at
st. Roch.
The embellishments Of Paris arc daily progressing
with an extraordinary rapidity, and person who
visited the French capital q few months ago would
now DO scarcely able to recognise it, and, within
short space Of time many Parsians viii scarcely be
able to recognise their own city. The Place of the
Carrousc is about to be levellcd, till the new con-
struction shall be made to unite the Louvre to the
Tuilcres The gardens of the Paais Royal arc also
to be loycllcd, and new trees planted, which will
render them agreeable TO its visters as well
for its inhabitants. In the Champs Eysee, the gas
is invading all the dark places under the trees, and
this promenade Of Paris is Illuminated at night,
and is as light as during the day. The Rue de
Rivals IS also progressing, and within six months
will be entirely completed The inside Of the
Louvres, which was nearly completed, is to be
tirely changed and ombeshed upon new plan.

Place de Ia Concorde, the ancient gardens which
were planted in the bitches of the place, are filed
with earth and elevated to the level of the square.
We shall see if the effect be better when the whole
IS completed. Lastly the desire TO see Paris having
green lawn and large park, similar to those Of
London, has been fulfilled by the Common Coun-
Gil Of the Prefecture. The two parks ofNeully and
Monceaux, which formerly belonged to Louis
Philippe, will be united together, and will form
most beautiful promenade.
The weather which we have had for the last six
days is beautiful The sun is bright over our heads,
and the air is pure and bracing it is during

mon for this time OF the year. and it is perhaps, the
omen Of o bad April.
