One reason for nv quoting the above rather long
extract from the Pays, ia that circumstances made
me personally acquainted with the manner OF its
composition. Mr.. Walewski, on hearing OF Reschids
return to power sent for the editor OF the Rays ana
desired him to write a leader on the spirit OF the
above; after it written, the proof sheets were
sent to him and the last words, beginning from the
word Happily, the European Powers" ETC., etc.,
were added by the Minister himself a. If ne consi-
dered that the editor might have gone little too
near the wind as regarded English susceptibility.
Foreigners are gradually taking up their abode
here for the winter. Apartments are everywhere
letting on scale Of prices perfectly unpreoeaenses,
effected in the capital are gradually producing an
effect on the upper classes Of the Continent, which
Is now beginning to bear fruit. There Ii always
class Of nobility in all countries, to whom the luxu
ries of Paris are like the promised land. Spaniards
Portuguese, Viennese, Russians, mobiles from Berlin,
from Rome and Naples, regard It as the Mecca OF
idolatry, to be periodically visited as canon OF
reaching IT, the wondrous tastes Of the improvements
made the splendor Of the imperial court the extra
ordinary political influence obtained by the reigHing
monarch since his ascending the throne of the Ca
pets and the natural disposition Of all to bow down
before the personcation of success will, it may be
presumed more and more until catastrophe occur,
tend to increase the number Of luxurious money
spendcr and 30 keep up the present enormous prices
cord Of similar prices being given for furnished
apartments for the season.

the chance Of its passing into some unorthodox

government in their eagerness to rescue it from the
sacrilegous hands of the Americans, have given at
least 81 900 too much for it the English residents will
have nothing to do with it. As speculation, the
chapel does not stand in the category before

go to the chapel in the Rue de Aguerian. Apropos
Of the American chapel-is this the time for any
American congregation to incur an expense of

stances, of there being in Paris a sufficient
congregation to fiji it? rumor already prevails
that this chapel even before it is finished will be
brought to the hammer.

Byng, in 1856, is well known Sent with an INSULT

French had poured in an overwhelming force, coun-
Gil Of war was held by the officers of his squadron,
and unanimously declared that to afford relief was,
under the circumstances, impracticable. Byng how
ever, made the attempt and was unsuccessful This
failure raised an immense clalAor in England both
against Admiral Byng and the ministry, and the lat

his enemies, warmly seconded by the efforts of an
ncendiary press succeeded in obtaining his condem-
nation to be shot and he was accordingly executed
at Portsmouth in sight of the feet, meeting his
death with manly forttude and protesting to his
last breath against the injustice OF his sentence.
Well. all this has been dramatised after French
fashion at the Cirque and attracts Overlooking houses
every night. Poor Byng il madea lover and an I'M
fortunate one. his rival being certain Frenchman,
called Captain de Frontenac. who, Of course, carries
of the ladys affections. Then we have a duel
in which, though the Admiral proves victori-
ous, he generously spares his rival to become
the husband OF his love Notwithstanding
which, however, the unucky Admiral becomes
the victim OF various treacheries, which at length
end in bringing about the catastrophe. The part Of
the bluff sristocratic English Admiral is played to
the life but the other incidents Of the drana-all
English as they are-are as usual most ludicrously
burlesqued by the French who for aught they know
