On one point all agreed; which was, that, if judged by his actions, little could be said in mitigation of the conduct of him who, while writing sentiments fraught with passion and tenderness, could consign his offspring to a foundling hospital! Having visited every object worthy of attention at Montmorency, we proceeded to Enghien, to examine the baths established there.

The building is of vast extent, containing no less than forty chambers, comfortably furnished for the accommodation of bathers; and a good _restaurateur_ furnishes the repasts.

The apartments command a beautiful view, and the park of St.-Gratien offers a delightful promenade to the visitors of Enghien.
Our route back to Paris was rendered very agreeable by the lively and clever conversation of the Comtesse de Gand.

I have rarely met with a more amusing person.
With a most retentive memory, she possesses the tact that does not always accompany this precious gift--that of only repeating what is perfectly _a propos_ and interesting, with a fund of anecdotes that might form an inexhaustible capital for a professional diner-out to set up with; an ill-natured one never escapes her lips, and yet--hear it all ye who believe, or act as if ye believe, that malice and wit are inseparable allies!--it would be difficult to find a more entertaining and lively companion.
Our old friend, Col.

E.Lygon, came to see us to-day, and is as amiable as ever.
