Paris, July 7.
The First Consul of France has not till lately shewn a disposition to partake of any pleasures. Much pains have been taken to induce him to enter into some amusements; and the Minister (Talleyrand) has been heard to say, that if they could not find out a method of employing him for six hours a day, France would be undone.
In uniformity with the above principle, he has at length been brought to pursue the sports of the field; that is, forty boars, a few hares, and three stags, have been transplanted into the forest of Marli for his diversion. But a circumstance exciting considerable sensation at Paris, is, that the celebrated manuscript, which contained the different regulations of the royal charge for Louis XVI. and from which a leaf had been torn, had been actually replaced within the last fortnight.
