LETTEHS FKOM FRANCE-
I'rom the New'-York Statesman.
PAUis, JAN. 20, 1S2G.—From the
Ho!jj)ilal of Jnvalids, we continued our
walk to the Champ de Mars, which
forms a part of the plain ofGrenelle, on
the left bank of the Seine, Pt the south
western extremity of the city. It is a-
hout half a mile in len/i;lh, and a quar
ter of a mile in breadth, iying in the
form of a perfect inrralleio^ram, sli^ht-
ly inclinir)g towai’ds the riv'T. The v~
rca is a haj-'’, smoc'th gravel, suflicicnt-
ly spacious i.»r a of 10,000 troops.
It is siu’-.’uunded with a moot, and witii
juoun Iji, where thousands of spectators
may stand with safety, and overlook
the military exercise, or the race hor
ses and chariots below. Double rows
of trees extend quite roiuu] the beauti
ful St'i'i.ire. At tlu-; southern end stands
the Military School, presenting a noble
front towards the Seine, and crowned
by a loffy dome. It cannot be examin
ed without a formal permit from tho
government. This institution is appro
priated to the educ?tion of young men
of good family, but small fortunes,
wiiose fathers have fallen in the service
o( tlieir country. 'I’he studmts were
.seen at play upon the plain, in classes
under the eye of tlieir instniotfrs.
Onposite to the C’hamp de Mars is
the bridge of Jena, the lowest or; the
Seine near Paris, which we crossed,
and visited the village of Passy, pretti-
U' situated upon the declivity of a high
hill, on the right hank of tiie river.—
Terraces, hanging gardens, and several
handsome houses, give it a picturesque
ap))carance. It has associations pecuHar-
1y interesting to an American. ilt:re
our relubrate! countryin;ui, Dr. Frank
lin, resided lor somt? time, w!dle minis-
t'T to tlie court of France. The house
in which he lived is still standing, an i
the villa»;ers have paid a trii)uto of les-
pect to his tneniorv, by calling one of
tlieir princijKi! sfpiare.s and streets
It n.ust certainly be ac
counted a high hor.iinrfor a man to ac-
cjuire such proinincfica ami peculiari
ty, as to impart his name to any |Kjr-
tion of a foreign territory. The Woo'i
ni' IJologne, wliich is a br'autifid forr-st
in the vi('inity of Pa^sy, was a favurite
hauiit with the American iihilosoplier,
leminding him ol the >;ylraii
scfiies of his native country, 'i’hi'i'e is
a (!iu1eau in the midst of llie woud,
wliere he lor a time resided.
On our ret'u n along the bank oi’lh'
Sei;ii‘, ju-l ut "V'.'ning, wc* called at lli
fiwva! .Mai'ui.ict'iry of Carpets, calhii
La Sii'ornif.i'l‘\ at the (^iiay Biily. 1'
is under the sur|iei'intendcnce of tie-
g;tv. rnnient, and the internal arrange
ments ol’ the establishnieiil, :,s well a-
tlif process of weavi'ig, ai-e in all res
jji'c!-; "iiriiiar to tliose ol the (Gobelins.—

U>dt h?i.' been in proj^t ess lour yea; and

The fabrics are wrought with the liiih-
est fi:;ures, equalling the most splendid
paintings, of Avhich they are little more
than coj)ies.—Some of them are valueo
at 00,000 francs, or ^12,000. None
but regal feet are allowed lo tread them.
During the Holy days, we attended a
general exhibition of the royal manufac-
lures of Franee, displaye^l in a suite ol
rooms at the Louvre. Among the arti
cles were tapestcy from the Gobelins
Heauvais, and jiorcelain from the cele-
bratcil manufactory at Sevrr:s, near Pa
ris.—Some of the commo(litii;s were rich
and beautilul beyond what Ihigland, or
perhaps any other country can j>roiaice.
Nothing can be more s[)lendid, or it
better taste, than some of the Frencli
wares. Kvery device, and eveiy col
our are blended in the ornanien»s, exe
cuted in the most delicate manner.
It was a display of /7/r; arls, litth in
ferior to the gallery of the. ]{oyal Muse
um, creditable to national taste and in
genuity, rather than to useful, substan
tial industry; lor most of the articles
were fit oniy to adorn the ^)-i!act:s ol
kings and noblemen. In my oj)in-
ion, one of thf; greatest faidts with l!ie
French people is, a misdireclion of na
tional industry. 'I’hey overlook s-oiid
comforts, such as all might enjuy, and
think only of luxuries, which must al
ways be contined to a lev.. The love
of the fme art;s engrosses attention that
should be devoted to the useful. I have
seen women busy in enihroidering silks
ami weaving artificial flowers, wlienthey
ought to he employed in da niug their
own stockings or in m-ending tlieir pet
ticoats.
There arc manufactures of almost eve
ry kind, in and a!)Out I’aris; but with a
few exceptions, they aie on a small scale,
and the products of industry are pour
ed forth siletitly into the market with
out knowing wlunice they came. 'I'he
variety and quantity of clocks, watches,
and jewelry of all descriptions, seem
without limit, originating from small
private establishnients. Class xvares
are equally extensive, and exceed in
beauty any in the world. Single plates
for mii rors are sometimes cast ten feet
in length, and six or seven in breadth.
The French are extravagantly fond of
this artiele. In the meanest apartment,
you will always see two or three look
ing-glasses, and freciuently the walls ai e
entirely covered with them. Beside the
ordinary purposes of reflecting faces and
dresses, t'.uty produce, the agreeable illu
sion of making a small room ajipear like
the saloons of a palace. We visited
one or two of the porcelain manufacto
ries; but while the wares are superior in
quality, th(; extent and management
of the establishments are nothing in
com[)arison with Wedgcvvood’s or
Bloor's in England.
On another pleasant day, in company
with a friend whose unremitted atten
tions were of the utmost sei vice to us,
we made a circuit in a diilerent (juarter
of the city, embracing a great variety of
interesting objeiits, the first of which
was tlic Corn market. This curious
structure is situated in a central part of
Paris, not far from the Palais Royal.—
It is in the form of a rotunda, with a
dome of cast iron, the dianteler of which
at the bottom, is 131 feet. M’he light
is admitted by a lantern in the centre.
30 or '10 feet in diameter. Its whole
construction is unique. On the area of
(he interior, immctise quantities of
grain ami flour, in hags and casks, are
exposed for sale. 'I'his is onlv one of
the hundred markets, whence the capi
tal is jiloiitifully su])plied with provi
sions of every kind. 'File biiililings c-
rected within the last twenty years for
tlie accouHnouation of the fiidilic have
cost the stale fifty millions of francs;
and. the money has been ''xjiendud,
tlwugh not perhaps in the ir.ost econo
mical mann»'i‘. -.Mnvt of the improvc-

'I'iiese have addeil not less to tlie clean
liness and beauty of the cily tliaii lo its
cor.venience.
On our way to Ihc G.irden ol' Pianls,
we piissed throngh the /-’Avrr t/e i^rcrc,
on the light bank of the Seine, and'in

be a convenient place for a deposite of
heavy articles, although they are not us
ed for such ])Urposes to any extent. 1 his
channel was fprmely suiilerranean, and
conimuniealed with the gloomy dun
geons of the Jiastile, being suihciently

prison itself, so celebiated in histoiy,
is now' in ruins. ?i’apoleon formed the
plan of a colossal clei hant, to stand up
on the site. He was lo supply the city
with water issuing from his trunk, draw
ing it from the accjueduct called Oreg.
'I'iie work will jirobabl)* ne\ er be com

fountain.
(h-ossing tlie bcintiful bi idgc of Aus-
Icrlitz, which is the np|)ermost over the
Seine, o|)posit(! Paris, jiiid ll'.e arches of
which are of cast iron, we arrived at the
royal Gar(i(.n of Plants, on the lelt bank
of the river. It is om; of l!ie gieatest
ort'amenls of the Fi.'uch metroj)olis,
and merits mor' altenliou tlian I can be
stow u])on it in this slage of a protract-
((1 sketch. It is chietly indebted for its
inestima!)le treasures, as well .is for tlie
beauty of its design, to tbeeli'orts of tin
celebrated BuH'on, Cuvier, Hany, .TU(i
Humboldt, scarcely less distinguished in
llieir resjieclive departments of natural
science, have followed the footstc[)s of
their great jiredecessor, and made lliis
niuseum every thing, \vhich either sci
ence or taste can rc([uire. A student
might pass not oniy days, but months
anti years to advantage, in Ihe gardens,
the halls, and schools comprised within
this great lenqde of nature. It contains
a botanic garden, a menagerie, a muse
um of natural history and anatomy, to
gether with numerous apartments, in
which ])ublic lectures are dtdivered.
These several departnienls are all upon
a large scale, and rendered as complete
as possible ; whence, some idea of the
extent of the whole establishment may
be obtained.
The location of the Garden of Plants
is admirable, not only in point of soil
and other advantages, but of natural
science and ])icturesque beauty.—A
broad and magnificent e-xpiahade opens
f: om the bank of the Seine, rising by a
gentle acclivity lowards the south, and
presenting a full view of t!ie halls of the
farther extremity. Above these, a
charming s|>iral walk ascen(!s to the lop
of on eminenceof considerable altitude,
overlooking th(^ g-ai tlen, and command
ing an extensive prospect of Paris and
its numerous bridges, and its splendid
jialaces. The sloping sides of tlie iiill
are beautifully shaded with forest trees
and evergreens, such as love a moun
tainous country.—Among these, the
most conspicuous is a veteran cedar of
Lebanon, jilanted by the celebrated bo
tanist Jussian, whose system of classifi
cation has been adoptcfl in the arrange
ment of the plants. His favorite exotic
from the Holy Land lost its head du
ring the stormy period of the Revolu
tion, tiie monarch of the woods sharing
a common fate with the sovereign of
the nation, it was snbsetjuently in.
danger of being cut down, to boil ihe
camp-kettles of tlie Cossaclis. 7'he al-
lieil armies haJ. the barbarity, (almost
{‘(j'.ialing that of tlieir ancestors.) to
threaten to hirijuack in this sjdendid
garden ; and nothifig but l!io sj)irited

ble appendages render the Garden of
Plants nut less serviceable ;o the piacti-
cal purposes of agriculture and horticul
ture, than to the abstract science of bot-
an\'. ^
’The menagerie far exceeds in every
resj)cct the show of animals in the Tow-
: ev of London. A numei-ous congrega
tion of the animal kingdom is here as
sembled from the four (luarters of the
world.—I'lie collection of beasts is rare
as well as extensive, 'and the aviary
contains all the varieties of birds to be
found in France. JNlost of these tenants
ofthe garden, instead of being imprison
ed in g!oom\ and dirty cells, as in the
Royal Menagerie of England, have lit
tle territories of their own, ornamenfpd
with real chateaux, and surrounded with
those natural localities, which they ai'C
fond of fi'ei]Lienting in their wild state,
rendering tlie loss of their freedonricss
intolerable. Vt'o saw bears climbing
large Uees, such as tl.ey are wont to as
cend in forests, herds of deer gamboling
in little lawns, and partridges secreting
ihemseivcs amidst their favorite ever
greens. These appurtenances have a
temlencv lo preserve the naiuial habits
ot' the animals, and to exhibit them to
the best ])Ossible advantage.
'I’he museum of ?-«’atnral History is
sucli an extensive estaidishment, that a
Hicre descrijjtion of the several com-
parir ents, without entering at all iiuo
detail, would exceed the limits of this'
sketch. Suffice it to say, that every
object in the three kiiigdoins of ratine,
which can furnish ilhislratii.tiisof science,
or data for philosoiihicai r^'^carchcs, is
here to le found exactly in its place, ar-
rangeil accordi-ng to the best systems ex
tant. In shori, a student nia^' jjursue
his investigations here \vith as much
certainty ol' the facts, and wi-th more
facility of examining materials, than he
ccrdil I'.y any actual visit lo their local
ities. 'i'he result ofthe l;d)ours of man}’
eminent uien during their whtde lives, in
making collections and arranging liiem,
is here seen at one view ; ami sjiecula-
tive theories may at once be brouglu lo
the test of truth. Of the luimerous de
partments, we were most pleased with
those containing the organic remains of
animal - and vegetables, whence Cuvi
er drew Ihe materials of his work on ge
ology. 'I’he cabinets of human and
comparative anatomy are also extremely
interesting, illustrating every jjoint of
analosry or discrepancy between the
structure of man and the inferior tribes
•of creation.
'i’lie establishment has a large library,
enibracing nearly every work in natural
science, tliat has Jjcen j)ublished in any
language, .ige, or countryr Lectures
open to tl'.e public, and free of ail ex-
j.'ense, are statedly given in the amphi
theatre, on all the subjects connected
with the institution. 'I'hey are well at
tended, and have a most suhitaiv influ-

that Udls us in its slightest lueulhings of

Iher’s love—a mother's chaste, over- ^
whelmiiig, and cverhisling love fur her

The name of a mother i'-our child-
fiood’s talisman, our refuge and our .safe

first half-formed word tiiat fails IVom
the babbling tongue, the first idea th.u
dawns on the opening mind ; the firJt
Ihe fondest, and the most lasting tie ir!
which affection can i.'ind the iieait o!'
man ! It is not a feeling of yesterdav or
to-day; it is from the beginning-*the
same, and unchangeable; il owes not
its being lo this world, or the thiuirs
Ibis world, but is independent and'sclf-
existent, enduring while the pulse of
life animates the breast that fosters it-
and if there be any thing of mortaUj,j
which survives the grave, surely
best and noblest passion will never, nev

truest and most sacred jileasure, and the
safety and the blessing of her ofVsprinT
’Tis not selfish j.assion, depending
for its ])ermanency on the reciprocation
of advantages; but in its sincerity, |t
casteth out itself and centres but in the.
liapjiiness of its object ; and when the
welfare of that ohje-ct is at stake, it put-
leth away fear and Iciuweth not wc;t-
inc.;«. It is not excited by form or fea
ture, but rather, by a happy perversion
(d'i)crccption, tmhues all'iliings with
imaginary beauty. It watciies over ou.‘
helpless infancy, with the ceasehss be
nignity of a guardian angel; anticipates
every cliildish wish, humor.s everv w.iv-
w ird fancy, soothes every transient sor
row, bings our sweet lullaijy to rest, and
cradles us on its warm aiul throhhiii-
breast;- and when pain and sickness p.rey
upon the fragile form, what medicine is
there like a mother’s kisses.' what (piiei-

when l.nincbed into l!ie wide oce;ui ofa
