FRENCH ANECDOTES THE ci cievant Due d'Orleans, was ever the avowed enemy of the widowed queen ; not from any real insult or injury he ever re ceived from Iter, but because her vivacity and wit fomeiinies led ber to ridicule his follies and vices. Some years since, when the duke began to build upon the gaudens of the palais royal, the inhabitants of Paris, murmuring at his condudt in depriving them of their favorite walk, grew highly incensed againlt him. The lovely queen, who had heard of the difconieut among the people, and who ever wiflied to con tribute to their pleasure and liappi liefs, f'aid jocosely to Monsieur d'Or leans, " my cousin you will r.ot have much trouble or expence in finding materials for your new buildings ; for i find all the inhabitants of Pa ris are ready to throw ft ones at you." This innocent pleasantry was how ever one of the crimes never forgot ten by the dnke, and never menti oned but with a threat of vengeance. The late unfortunate king of France was not only the tenderefl of fathers, hut the, mod conUaut of hulbands ; of which the following well known anecdote will bear wit ness : About ten yeais since, che wife of a Bourgeoife in Paris, re markable for her beauty, made a point of following the king to all public places,even his morning rides were attended by the ambitious Ena morata. The king being infoimed of her motive, one morning, while taking his exercise in the Bois de Bologne.nearPai is.ftopp'd hishorfe, and addrefled the lady to'the sol* lowing purport :—" If you follow me from idle curioflty, madam, I think by this time that curioflty might be fatisfied ; if from a desire to draw my attention, I will save you the trouble ; for while my wife is the firft object of my afFetfions, I have no occasion for a mistress." Such was the vidim of an inhuman people, the firfl truly virtuous mo narch that misguided France ever had to boast of !

It has been his endeavour, as it was his desire, in the present edition, to fupplv the defi c.encies, correct the evrors, and meliorate the offenfive pans of the last. To aflift him in this bulinefs, he has received many valuable commu nications from Ihe heads of departments in the Kncral soverament, and from gentlcfnen of re fptclabiluy iri ihe fcveial Hates. The defcrip. tnii of foreign countries (which composes Part 11. of the above work) hat been carefully com piled from the most approved writers on Gro. graphy, and ufetul information introduced from the difcover.es of the latest Navigators, Travel lers, and refpeitable authors.
