PARIS, March s, 1850.
This has been week Of eloquence at the Palat1 .
Bourbon and Of oratory at Notre Dame At the
palace N. Haussman has been considerably demol-
ished; at the cathedral, where silks rustic and
sgrettes look pentent, Father Felix has come down
hard on the congregation, denouncing pride and ar.
rogance In wholesale manner. These capital sins,
however, have very tough constitution. They have
been beaten down from the pulpit with the same
energy as is applied to nobby nails on the anvil.
Still, like the nose OF curious man that has been
nattened against window pane, no sooner is emo
ton over than they stand forth on the face of nu-
mainly In as natural q protuberance as before.
such considerations make philosophers melan-
ch0ly but my impression is one OF pity for human
ity, and also pity Father Felix. None but those
who have tried know how dilcult IL Is be an ora

dinner can go on bullying the laws of their land
with Demosthenic volubility when Demosthenes did
not have any pebbles in his mouth, and with Clce-
ronic gesture when the great vain Roman had big
