Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Paris to his friend in Richmond, dated 10th April, 1825.
"Affairs in this country are not going on as well as might be. Great dissatisfaction and discontent prevail throughout the country, in consequence of some late laws, calculated to re-establish the ascendancy of the priests, and of the nobility. The law for the Emigres and the reduction of the interest will both pass, and both are very unpopular: but, as five-sixths of both Houses are interested, they cannot be rejected. The coronation is postponed till June. Immense preparations are making, and it will probably be more splendid than that of George the Fourth. Apartments in Paris have already doubled, in anticipation of the visitors for the fetes."
