.ancb of the Prime Minister of France is from the Pari-
correspondence of the Boston Courier :
A leweyonings aftermy arrivalln Paris, I was at a'par
ty given by: the American Minister, on the marriage of-a
young- lady of Albany Mies Cook 'with a French no-
blemari, I was wandecing through the saloons when my
a.tfentjpn was arrestedby a little, pale, meagreTnan in blnk,
decorated only with the ribbon of the Legion of Heapr."
Palemnd meagre; and small as he was, however, ha had
abouthimlan air.pf command, and soemed to xeceiye'tbe u-
nivprsaijespcci wnicu nis oearmgcnaiiengea. l certainly
did-npt attbe moment think of his being a vary great man.
His fdVeheod, though high, seemed too retreating- Tor a
prqfptind thjoker, atidj.in the deep lines about the darkened
ylid, and. in the sa.lloiy look ol his entire-features, I sup-
posed that I saw the tokens of such disease or weakness
as is inconsistent with the. idea of the.great. exertions of a
great man. Bat slifl I-confess I was 'as niuch.pl eased
with the man, for, though, the. Iine3pf care or 'suffering,
there, seemed to be beaming on his.eounriance.an ex-
.cslerit spirit of goodnature: and to. his benevolcntHook.
lie .added such charms of. - conversation, and made
"himself so much the .hnppy-Jsptrit of- the party which
surrounded him, that I couanot'he!p:being insensibly
