The first act Of the Carnival is over, and
all Paris is purchasing repentance at private
concerts and the Bots. The weather is now
quite srring-like, and no where are spring
mornings more lovely and animated thar
here. The drives around the Lakes are daily
blocked up with carriages and pedestrians,
the highest and the humblest rushing to en-
jov themselves. The racing season has opened
more hopefully than successfully. but 1t IS
early yet. There is much misery and shiver.

It was a common. and a true remark, dur
ing the occupancy of the British Embassy BY
the Earl OF Cowley, that one of the sights Of

bills, often for vast sums, were pat into cir

miifiners, coach builders, &C., and when pre-.
scented for payment, worked many an honor

ment. The Court has decided, that these
''boudoir'' bills, having been improperly OBJ
tanned, do not represent any lawful transsc.

payment, to bear the consequences. This il
a great blow to the deni-monde, but it has

candidates for the forthcoming elections, set

their portraits plain or colored-for the ad.
