. Smskseeee is just now the fashion in France, and
an interchange of histrionic talent is about to take place between the capitals of the two countries, that will make the Shaksperian drama familiar to the Parisian playgoers. Mademoiselle RACHEL is studying English, to enable her to play Lady Macbeth and other leading characters of SHAKSPERE in • this country ; and a- company of English tragedians, beaded by Mr. MACREADY and-Miss Hetme.F.strorr, are about to give representations-of SHAKSPERE in Paris. This latter arrangement is in the hands of Mr. MITCHELL, whose tact and., enterprise in the manage- ment of international theatricals., coupled with the promised patronage of Urns PHILIPPE, is an augury of success to the experiment. Mr. MICREADY is OD his way back from America, where he has reaped an abundant harvest. He has. acted down some miserable attempts to pre- bidice him in the opinion of the Yankees on the score of being—a fo- reigner! If young Jonathan go. on at this rate, we shall next hear of his repudiating,. the English dangnage on. account of its being a foreign tongue.
