you like sans culone, on account not particularly
of NY political opinion, but of the state Of the
cmperature 1t is three o'clock, and in the shade,
in my apartment, my thermometer marks thirty -four
degrees Reaumur Everybody is sick, and it is
indeed necessary to have plenty of courage to UNI

out yesterday, by two o'clock, on the Boulevard
of the Italians and was nearly the Of return
ing home without the soles of my boots. ! met on
my way the bitumen with which the boulevard is
paved, and my boots stuck into it. Fortunately,
was rescued by gentleman who gave me his hand,
and helped me with his very strong arms. poor
lady, who had just passed the same road had her
two CATERS stuck into the asphalt and was not able
to leave without leaving them on the spot. AS
matter Of course the bathing establishments Of the
Seine and others, filed by people Of all classes.
The only fee worth being mentioned is that
which took place at Montmartre, suburb of Paris,
during the last four days, and which attracted
large assembly Of people. All the mountebanks,
clowns, circus riders, showmen, and humbugs of
the departments had congregated there; the fair
on the public square was furnished with all the goods
of the cheap kind, and the ball room filled from
seven o'clock at night till two in the morning.
Whilst speaking Of festivals, cannot omit men,
tionpg the rumors which are spread relative to the
III lint of N
on the 18th of next month, to the National Guard.
Many projects, among which is n fleet OF balloons,
a grand masquerade like that of Lille, naval bat
tic the Seine, &c, had been proposed. But 1T
appears that the intention Of Louis Napoleon is to
initiate the festival which was given on the day of
Napoleon's coronation Emperor. 1t will be, per-
haps, remembered by my readers, that on that oc-
caSion the passage of Mount St Bernard was repre-
sented on the heights of Chaillot The nephew of
the Emperor has thought that the copy of this me-
morable event, embellished and greatly augmented,
would crcnte immense sensation, ana attract
many people to Paris. Accordingly, orders nave
been given to the regulators Of the festivals of Paris
aud mammoth passage Of the Mount st. Bernard
will be performed by means OF scenery and soldiers
II will be, no doubt. magnificent affair." For the
evening" fire. works will be burnt which will show the
colossal statue OF the Emperor Napoleon on horse
bock, upon which mammoth eagle will display his
wings.
Notwithstanding the rain, which few weeks ago
poured down in torrents the crops of all kinds have
not been destroyed in Frances and from the accounts
and reports which have reached here it is to be be-
lieyed that the crops Of grain, oats. hemp, COLA,
and other articles, including hay, will be superior
than is expected. The grain crop is said to be i'm
mense, and the market has fallen in consequence of
the assurance given that the grain would be plen-
ful As for the wine crops, they are considered as
altogether lost.
Our fish market has been supplied for the last five
days with large number Of tunaise, weighing from
forty to sixty pounds, which had been captured in
the bay of Marseiles. 1t appears that the waters
we're filed with these fish, which had escaped the
huge nets Of the Spanish fishermen.
An American gentleman, whose name will not
mention, went the other day to the Bank OF France
to receive the money on check which amounted to
$4,000. The silky little papers were given to the
bearer, who left the place in hurry, and jumped
into o carriage An hour after the son of the free
land returning the bank in search of his bun
die OF papers, which was missing from his pocket.
Alas, gang of young chaps who were playing on
the spot, had torn the halt Of it into pieces to make
small paper boats, which were ruBning along the
gutter in the dirty liquid of the street There were
but few bank bills intact and the cruel children,
knowing not what they were, had done terrible mis-
chief.
Much talk is entertained here among the gour-
mands, about the marriage Of Mile. Julie Chevet,
the daughter of the celebrated merchant of choice
preserves, fishes, fowls, etc, with M. Gutig, the
male GORDON bten of the highest renown Of the city
OF faris, and, dare say, Of the whole OF France
have been told that the dinner of the nuptials
which will take place Saturday next, would ex-
coed anything Of the kind which had ever been
given In Paris. A few weeks ago, the chief OF the
establishment of the well known Frcres Proylnceux
married his daughter TO the OF the proprietor OF
the Cafe Foy, on the Boulevard of tae Italians,
