We have received n private letter from Paris.
dated March 18th, which informs us that Mr..
Crawford. although far from well, has turned his
attention to the important subject Of having the
Bronze Equestrian Statue Of Washington trans
ported to this city for the monument on the Cap
itol Square Mr.. Crawford had just had an in
teryew with Mr.. Miller the director of the Roy
fully completed. A contract has been made
by which the statue is to be brought to Frank
fort, on the Name. whence II Is to DO transported
down the Rhine to Amsterdam. At the latter
point it will be placed on board of IA vessel,
whose decks will have to be cui for the purpose,
and will be shipped directly for Richmond. 1t is
expected TINT the vessel will sail from Amser-
dam about the 10Th April, anI we may reasona,
bly, expect that the statue will arrive in Rich
nond in time to he placed the Monument, aud
inaaEurated on tie Fourth of July, if deemed
proper. One box twenty feet high, sixteen feet
long, and eight broad. and weighing some 3D.
900 pounds will contain the whole statue, with
the exception of the horse. tail. which can
Oily be attached when the gepup is placed on its
pedestal.
The accounts we have of trawford's health
are not ms favorable rs we had hoped for. We
sincerely trust that he may be spared many
years for his county ana his friends. Young
he i. his noble genius has already placed his
own name, aud the a'ti-tic glory of his natjye
