It w as doite evidently with it mixed feeling of pnd - and a dislike of ostentation, w hich show ed iho nurture ol Napoleon. It is astonishing how superior every being seems to have be come that served under him. Wherever you find an old soldier of the “emperor,” as they delight to call him, you find a noble, brave, unpretending man. On mentioning this cir cumstance lo a friend, he informed tne, that it was probably a man who was well known, from rattier a tragicul circumstance. He had driven a gentleman to a parly one night, who was dissatisfied with hint, for somo reason or other, and abused hint very grossly. The tocktr the next morning sent him a challenge; sod, as tha cross of honor levels all distinc tions, lie was compelled to light him, and was •hot dead al the first lire. Honors of this sort must bo u vory great in centive. . They are worn very proudly in France. You see men of all classes, with Ihc striped, ribbon in their button-hole, marking them as the heroes of three days of July. Tho Pole* and the French and English, who fought well st Warsaw, wear also a badge; snd it certainly produceq a feeling of respect •a one passes them in the eireet. There are several very young men, lads really, who are wandering about Paris, with the latter distinc tion on their breasts, and every indication that it is all they have brought awuy Irani their unhappy country.

I was presented lost night, with Mr. Carr •nd Mr. Ritchie, two of our countrymen, to the king. We were very naturally prepared throno lieforo nto, nnd recalling to my mind the world of historical circumstances connec ted with it. You can easily imagine it nil.— The throno of Franco is, perhaps, the most mleresing ono in the world. But of all its as sociations, nono rushed upoti mo so forcibly, or retained my imagination po long, as the ac cidental drama of which it was tho scene dur ing tho three days of July It was hero that the pooplo brought tho Polytechnic scholar, mortally wounded in the atluck on the palace, lo die. He breathed his last on the throne of France, surrounded with his comrades and a crowd of patriots. It is ono of Iho must stri king and a fleeting incidents, I llunk, in nil history. As wo passed out I caught a glimpse through a side door of the queen and llio ptin- cesses sitting round a tnblo. covered with bonks, in a small drawingroom, while n ser vant, in the gaudy livery-milieTourl, was just entering with u waiter of lea. Tho careless attitudes cf llio figures, the mellow light of the shade-lamp, and the happy voices of children coming through the door, reminded nn* more of homo than tiny thing I have neeii in France. Ill* odd, hut really the most aching sense nf home-sickness I have felt since I left Ameri ca, was awakened at that moment—in the palace of a king, and at the tight of hia queen und daughter! I We flopped in the nntochamber to have our nnmea recorded in the visiting-book—a cere- many which insures us invitations to all the halls given at court during the winter. The first has already appeared in the shape of a printed note, in which we are informed by the “ Aide-de-camp of the king and the lady of honor of the queen,” that we are invited to n ball at the palace on Monday night. To my distress there is a little direction at the bottom •’ Lis homines ssroni en uniforms » which sub jects those of us who are not military, once more to the awkwardness of this ridiculous court dress. I advise all Americana coming abroad to jfet a commission in the militia to travel with. It is of use in more ways than sensation here, fur Hesse had a young and lovuly wife, only seventeen, und was unusual ly beloved und admired ; while his opoonant is a notorious gumbler, und every way detested. People meet ut Ike gaming-table here, howev er, us they meet in the street, without question of character. Carnival is over. Yesterday was “ Mardi Grass”—the lust day of the reign of Folly. Parts hits tieen like n city of grnwn-upchildreo fora week. Whnt with masking all night, supping, nr krealifosiing, wbnt you will, at sunrise, und going to bed betw ixt morning and noon, I feel tlmt I have done my devoir upon the expi-rimant of French munners. I desire to be regular, nnd follow a grave vocation for llie rest of mt life. It would be tedious, not to say improper, to describe all the absurdities I have seen nnd tningh d in for llie last fnrlnight ; hut I must try to give you somo idea of the meaning the French nllucli to the senson nf earnivnl, and llio manner in which it is celebrated. In society it t* tho time for universal gaiety and freedom. Parties, fancy balls, und pri- vute masques are given, and kept up till morn ing. The clique! is something mnro free, und gallantry is indulged and followed with the privileges, utmost, of a .Saturnalia. One nf the gayest tiling* I have seen was u fancy hull, given by a' mini of some fusliinn, in Iho beginning of the season. Most of the distin- ffues of Parts were thera ; nud it was, perhaps, us fair a specimen of the elegant gaiety of the French capital, ns occurred during the ctirni- friends, f indulge (he hope ho may enjoy all that happiness lo which Ins rare tulent*, pat riotism mid amiable character so justly entitle him. It has seldom fnllcn to tho lot of nny, even the must gifted of the sons of genius, to reach tlm meridian of life with a character so much honored, and a reputation so unsullied ns this elegant writer and estimable citizen. Before Mr. Irving left this country for Eu rope, I wus among the number of those who enjoyed the honor of bis acquaintance, and, in common with all who knew him, could not but admire the early emanutions of that genius which has since shed so brilliant a lustre on his own character, und the literary reputation nf his country. Since the publication of tho writings of Irving, Cooper, Paulding and other gifted sons of America, nnd their exten sive circulation throughout Great Brilian, and on the continent of Europe, the invidious and taunting question—“ who reads an American Book” is no longer asked. Tho writings of Mr. Irving nro strictly characteristic of that ri fined tasle, amiable temper and unprelend'ng modesty, which bus so eminently distinguished him not only' in private life, but also, as a brilliant and popular author. To those qualities of Iho head nnd heart, it is to bo attributed llio pleasing fact that in no part of his various and voluminous productions, do wo find a singlo passage calcu lated to shuck 'he moral sense nfthe commu oily, or that would tend to crimson the check of modesty. It is lo be lamented that so many of the sons of genius, in all ages, nnd particularly in modern times, should have been led lo act un the erroneous supposition that tlm possession of superior talents entitled them lo disregard the ordinary decencies, and even to outrage all the principles of established order in social life. To these wayward fancies, is, in a great measure, to be attributed the meretricious warblings of Moore, Ilm reekless nnd unlicen sed effusions of Byron, and the demoralizing productions of Bulwtr. To the praise of Mr. Irving and hi9 American cotemporaries, above- mentioned, those wild nnd extravugant pre tentions have not tarnished tha lustre of their literary prnduetions, because they have had no ptaco iu their balanced and well regulated minds. The quality which of all others peculiarly distinguished the writings of Mr. Irving, is that of a chgslc and elegant wit. This is a weapon which he has long wielded, and with powerful effect, in combatting the follies nnd prejtidicas of nation* and individuals; but even hero, the kindness of his nature hus ever re strained him from inflicting a wound on the feelings of any, even the most humbtn ol man kind ; so that of his most satiricnl weapon it mny with truth be said, it f> ne’er carried a heart slain away on its blade." I shall conclude this brief notion of Mr Ir- ving, by applying to him, ns emphatically true, the following just and elegant sentiment of nn American writor, new no moral—“Mon of genius are luminous points on iho great disk of society, which shine, oven after tlm sun of power and prosperity have withdrawn their beams, and rescue Ilm nations they adorn from lotiil darkness in the long eclipse of lime?” JVcw Fork Enquirer. vul.

Tha luvcliest woman there was a young baroness, whose dancing, figuo, and face so resembled a celebrated Philadelphia belle, that I wus constantly exporting her mu sical French voice lo break into English. She was dressed as an custom dancing girl, and floated about with tho 'tghtness and grace of a fairy. Her motion intoxicated llio eyo com pletely. I have seen her sinco at the Tuilc- ries, where, in u waltz with the Imndsomo duke of Orleans, she was tlm single object of admi ration for the whole court. She ia a small, lightly-framed creature, with very little feel, nnd a ftten of moro brilliancy than regular beauty, but all airness nnd spirit. A very love ly, indolent-loooking English girl, with largo sleepy eyes, was dressed na a Circassian slave, with chains from her unkles to her waist.— She was a beautiful part of the spectacle; but loo passive lo interest one. There were sylphs and nuns, broom-girls and Italian peasants, and a great many in rich Polonaise dresses.

They do not think it necessarv at this late day—a dny which is shedding its light and glory, with such general and invigorating power over our whole body politic, to enter elaborately andminut. lv into a derail of their political views and opinions.
