A correspondent of the Courier DIES Flats
Unis gives the following, which evinces how
absorbed in the movement all Paris has be-
come, and how centred on the East are all its
thoughts and movements. He says:
Paris never ceases being fixed on one idea
There is always i'm its horizon, not to speak OF
Montmartre, or the hills of Passy, something
which promises or threatens, towards which are
turned its impatient or defiant gaze. God
knows how many things were suspended and
how many more were arrested, the year past,
on the Pruth-that famous Prnth, which was
the first act in that terrible drama, the pro-
logue of which is called Pdletot Nenschakob.
AT this moment in Paris, no matter OF what or
to whom you speak, the inyarable answer IS
Sebastopoll
In fact, in good faith and in bad faith, plea
sures, interests, business, everything is sus-
pended, and depends upon this place, so famous
on land and sea.
Madame" said merchant, g have SUI
perb cashemire, blue sapphire, with palm leaves
and myrtle, do you wish to see it?p
:" No, will wait the taking Of Sebastopol'
Monsieur, there is wine merchant here who
asks leave to present his account? Tell him
to call after the taking OF Sebastopol
Mademoiselle, have you been to see F2am-
milo, at the Gymnasium? My mother says she
win take me after the fall Of Sebastopol. My
lord, Madame Doch consents that you be pre-
scented to heri Very welll But that will be
when have read the dispatch Of Lord Raglan,
dated Sebastopol
Madame-Do you love me? / will tell you
after the fall Of Sebastopol.
And whatever one inquiries, it is with blows
from Sebastopol that they answer you-in order
to drive you away, to fool you, to mystify you,
and to refuse you and put you of, in the'same
way, if it we're possible, in the same furious
manner in which the defence of the place an
swers to the attack, as it resists the triple army
and the triple Anglo Franco Turkish feet,
which assails it on two elements. 1t is rea-
sonable to believe that all social movement will
be arrested, that nothing will be purchased,
nothing paid, no amusements, no love-making-
and this is all in order to PUNISH one another
for the resistance which the Russians make in
eyacuating the Crimea.
This is Paris! But it is true that had there
been no Sebastopol, there would have been
something else, as all it needs is a pretext.

From the Boston Post.
Chief Justice Taney.

Senator Badger, Of North Carolina, on intro
ducing in the United States Senate bill to
increase the compensation of the Judges Of the
supreme court, &c., spoke sentiments marked
by truth and magnanimity. When Chief Justice
fancy was recommended by President Jack.
son for the exalted position he has so long filed,
the whig press, generally, says the Warrenton,
North Carolina Netcs, "were lavishing in their
abuse of the man, and held in low estimation
his attachments as jurist. 1t is pleasing TO
reflect that justice is finally duly awarded to
virtue and talent, especially when united in the
same person; and that after the storm Of passion
has passed by, and feeling gives way to reason
re-estabished upon her throne Of light men of
sterling worth and liberal views will come for
ward TO award the tribute that is due to eminent
worth. To those Of our whig friends in whose
bosoms the rancor of partisan bitterness still
usurps the place, corrodes the lustre Of their
better nature, we would especially commend,
for their just admiration, the following beautiful
compliments to the high character and eminent
services Of the Chief Justice of their country,
from the lips Of their own most gifted and
honored statesman"
"But who are the men, sir, in whose behalf

lie deserves to have applied to him the descrip-
ton which my Lord Coke gives Of Justice
Wray. He is emphatically "a most reverend
Judge, of profound and judicial knowledge, &C.
companied with ready and singular capacity,
grave and sensible elocution, and continual and
admirable patience. He is a noble specimen
Of what the judicial character should be. Every
senator knows that he has discharged all the
duties of high Office with an integrity unim-
peached, with unsurpassed learning, and with
decorum, courtesy, which has never, in a
single instance, been swerved from its propriety
lie has lahored on without complaining; he has
asked nothing; but there, looking only to his
country and his duty, and meeting increasing
demands upon his time and strength with new
exertions Of energy and perseverance, he con-
tinues to preside in that high court, which is
the sheet-anchor Of our institutions n worthy
successor of that illustrious man who immedi-
ately proceeded him.
Yet il is such men whom the intolerant secret
order would persecute and prescribe from Office,
because, in the exercise Of religious freedom
secured by the Consultation, they worship God
in form distastefnl to the know nothings, and
according to the dictates Of their honest con-
sciencesl IfuW
