Ten days ago tha peapie of Parig, and, indeed, of France, koew scarcely anything of Zanzibar and its Snltan. A large Mareoilles house, Laband, has established tactories st Zauzibar, and for some years coffeo uan boen exportod, which popuiar- izod the name Zanzibnr in Franes. This wos about all that Pariwans koew of that little corner of tha glabe, Tho Seyyrd'a wisit, therefore, has hardly ruiliod the osdinary courre of Payiman Lile, aud the masa of the peo- plo have hardly perceived lis preseoce.

On vuuting the Opers he gave the Europeans by whom he was surround- ol a striking lesson of dicnity. De- tweon the acts bho was invited to go bebind the sccues. Ho nsited the meaning ot this proposal of men represcnting in_ his eves Weatorn civilization, It was oxpiained to bim that fu the groen room he could got & closo view of the airy nymphs whose gracotul move- ments he had just been admiriug ; that there be could form au idea of Lhe mode in which a Frenchwoioan propares to como hefora tho public, of the powder and paint which docorate hor face, oyes, auvd mouth, the artificial hair which rnows off Lor forchiend aud falls over her shoulders, tho mochauical moana which rouder ber carringe more geacoful and tha contributions luvied ou evory quarter of the wurld for her outtit.

Tho din- ner, however, of ‘Thuraday last au Voruailles ended somewhat abruptly, and in & way which x08 puzzled tho P'arisan quidnuncs, The Sey- 3d seomod chiarmed with the feast, aud listened with the greateat attention to the remarks which wero made to lum through thoe interpreter. Suddenly, whon dinner was scarcoly over, the Sesyid said he wished to return to Paris, Home surprise was naturally evincod at this bruaque decision, but the borsea woro put to, and direet- ly the carringos appoared tho African Buvemifn aud bis suite mado off us quickly as possiblo.
