Tly eopettator
JUNE 5, 1830
THE gaieties of Paris suffer no pause in con- sequence of the political disputes and financial embarrassments of the country. A splendid fete was given on the 31st ult. by the Duke of ORLEANS to the King, and to their Majesties of Naples. The invitations amounted to three thousand, among, whom were five hundred men of letters I Some dispute seems to have taken place between the mob and the military on the occasion. The Parisian correspondent of the Morning Chronicle (the ex-Member for Sudbury, we believe), who has a most inordi- nate appetite for "treasons and strategems.." and who never fails to see a revolution where others can sec nothing but a row, magnifies this affair into one of mighty importance; yet, after all, the only specific damage he describes was suffered, not by a man, but by a statue, which was very nearly, not altogether, knocked down.
