parison with the Emperor of the French." These observations were 

 considered as an absolute rejection of the proposed inscription. The 

 Insti-tute altered its labours, the architects hesitated, events hastened 

 apace, and thus it happened, that when the Allies entered Paris they 

 found the triumphal arch without any inscription.

A very desirable accession to the cheap literature of the day, and 

 chiefly designed to familiarise the youthful reader with the idiomatic 

 forms of the language. It presents an agreeable and instructive half- 

 sheet, is exceedingly amusing, and on the whole, well selected ; the 

 style of the articles being so simple and unaffected that one but little 

 skilled in French may peruse it with facility. Sketches of Parisian 

 society, historical and biographical outlines, gleanings in natural history, 

 anecdotes, brief tales, illustrative of some moral or maxim, poetry, &c. 

 &c., constitute the attractions of its pages. The numbers which we have 

 seen have given us much pleasure, and we recommend the " Cameleon" 

 to the patronage of our young friends ; for the satisfaction of their 

 guardians, M. Barbieux, the editor, pledges himself for the scrupulous 

 selection of matter. We might, however, suggest to the Professor, that 

 in a periodical destined for circulation principally in a Protestant country, 

 subjects less glowingly descriptive of Catholic ceremonies than " Le 

 Mendiant," would be more in conformity with the interests of the under- 

 taking. At least such is our impression. Again, we would recom- 

 mend the omission of all maliciom little witticisms, such as '* Les deux 

 Magots :" an unamiable propensity to satire — a desire to be ^' smart" at 

 the expense of another, may, unconsciously, be matured and encouraged 

 by the perusal of such jeux a'esprit ; and surely nothing can be more 

 ungraceful and disagreeable than a child setting itself up as a wit, and 

 lisping pert "pleasantries" on its companions, or probably its elders. 

 Are we too fastidious ?
