Mr.. MORPHY INPARIS.
The Paris correspondent of the New York Times
says
" ought to say word to-day, in
conclusion, in regard to the emovements of our great
chess champion, Mr.. Morphy. Mr. NJ. is not going
home so soon as announced in the New ork jour
mails. He will spend the winter in Paris Professor
to the oath of December and then the great match
between him and Morphy will take place. Moth
ing has been heard from NJ. lleydebrandt, and at
present Mr.. Morphy has other great match IN
anticipation but that with the distinguished Prus-
sian Professor. As both the gentlemen in this case
"unprofessonal players they will not stake
any money; but their friends will no doubt bet
largely. Mr.. larrwitz feels sore over his defeat,
and to all the attempts of Mr.. Morphy's friends to
induce him to try another match he offers the eN-
that Mr.. Morphy has not treated him well. But
this excuse is totally untounded and is based upon
letter written by Mr.. NJ. to the editor of the Monde
Uustre, Gin which HarrwitZ edits the chess cor
ner,) correcting some of the statement$et ltarr-
WITT in regard to their great match. Morphy saws
that llarrwitz has points of excellence In ms
game than any man he has ever met, and he would
only be too well pleased to meet him again lie does
not expect to meet in NJ Andersen as difficult an
adversary as NJ Harrwitz, but this remains to be
proved. NJ. ANDERSEN it is said, is "playng up,
and intends making tremendous rush on the
American boy. Mr.. Staunton, by his last letter,
and by his garbled publication of Mr. Morphy's
letter, has lost every friend he had here, and
learn nearly all his friends in England as well.
Morphy continues to play nearly every day at
the Cafe de la Regence, against all cOmers, giving
odds to the weak and showing his brilliant points
to the strong Among those he has lately beaten
in even matches were Nj. Ludinski, a celebrated
Polish player, who came to Paris expressly, and
who got beaten seven straight games; NJ. Laroche,
whom Mr.. Morphy declares the best French player,
and NJ. De liiviere, a player who takes rank next
to, if not equal with NJ Laroche, and who, in his
various contests with Mr.. Morphy, has occasionally
beaten him. This NJ. De Riviere is a brother Of
your Captain De Riviere, of Blount no:oriety. He
is gentlemanly, handsome man, a reporter of the
Press brilliant chess player, we have seen, and
like the Captain, speaks English, their mother hav-
ing been a Scotch woman. ought to mention that
Morphy has also beaten, and with great mortiica-
tion to his adversary, Frenchman by the name of
Erkel, who challenged him, backed by numerous
array of friends, with something of the air of
mockery with which Goliah defied David.
