AT eleven in the morning, as we doub-
led an angle in the river, we suddenly


came in sight of the rival of Paris, Sc a.
ted on her hill as ON throne: her fore


head decorated with her d, uhle crown,


the ancient and the modern citv; her
person rob bed in cashmere, velvet and


silks-l.v .v'ns. the vice-queen of France.


The entrance to the city bv the route
we took is grand and picturesque. The
isle of Paihe, in the middle of the river
far in adva' &c of the city, like a maid
of honor nouncing a queens the,
site of beautiful edfic,, and forms the

chisseling this enormous rock into co-
lossal lion, which is the mcriaI device Of
the city. He was willing to devote six
years of Ills life to this hercu'ean task;
but the administrative authorities, to
whom he app led, did net fall il with
his views. The same Tux now would !
be diff, u and will son be impossible,
for Pierre -Scise at present serves as a
quarry to the whole town, vhen"e she
brings her bridges, theatres and ra'aces,
and the IONS lair will shortly be all l
