The Paris correspondent Of the London Times en-
joys rather envable position. if the following state
ment is TO be relied We find il in the New York
Times:
I" Next to the berth Of British Ambassador at Pa
RS, suppose that the post OF correspondent TO the
London Times is most to be desired. Let me rehearse
few Of the iumun,es and privileges of that indi-
vduai. His salary is So, 900 year. He has
handsome suite OF rooms furnished aud paid Tor by
the paper. He has two clerks constantly in his en-
poy, who read the French Journals translate collte
cut out items from Gahgnani, and add their eyes, in
vention, experience and observation TO his. These
gentlemen paid by the Times, Of course. The
correspondent buys and charges TO the paper any books
OF which he may stand in need-and the library is "A
very choice and complete collection Of standard au-
thors, cycop1dias, dictionaries, and other hooks of
reference. tie is empowered to pay for any mpor-
iant intelligence, just what il niiy cost.
hen the Post Office closes early, TO the infinite
annoyance Of all correspondents of bow degree he
writes on merriy till sunset, and thea hires man to
jump into the O'Clock train and take his letter to
London! The Times psys the bill. Besides all this,
ms position Is such that great many things come TO
him. without his giving himself the trouble to go to
them. hns. proclamation of Henry v. desires TO
see the light. M Berger sends il to the correspon-
dent oil the London Times, who gives it one of his
clerks To translate. AL the other correspondents,
when they it in print, throw up their hands, and
nation IN existence, and where he went to get it. In
short, 1t is great thing 10 represent the London
Times in Paris. To I've able TO say you are the Rus
sian Ambassador, is thing; to be forced to con-
less you are the Envoy from Venezuela, is another.-
stand up and say you the correspondent Of the
Times, is TO locate yourself between the two, and
rather nearer the top than the foot Of the column.
