NEW YORK HERALD. New Yark, Tuesday, March 2, 1847. Aifoirs In Washington, “Affiirs in the capital are reaching an important point, Congress adjourns on Thursday night, and till then every movement of either house will be of interest and moment. Our reports will be fail and graphic. On the outside of this day’s Herald will be found the speech of Mr. Calhoun, in reply to Mr, Benton, relative to the annexation of Texas and the Mexican war. Itis of considerable in- terest at this time, as it may lead to some curious results between now and the inauguration of another President. But read our letters and reports from Washing- ton. Note down the facts, and watch the move- ments of Benton, Scott, Calhoun, &c. = Notes of Travel, by Mra. J. G. B. Panis, January 31, 1847. My Dear Mapam:— This is the last letter you shall receive from me until my arrival in Rome. I expectto leave this charming city in two weeksfor Italy, and heartily glad Tam to get away from the dissipations of this gey capital. A gentleman said to me the other evening, that Paris wasan unwholesome place for married ladies, and, indeed, I believe | so. We have yet to attend two or three large balls | before we | and then start for the more genial climes of the south, {am trying to persuade Mr. B to go to Constantinople and the East, but ! doubt whether he will consent. Unfortunately, he is not so fond of travellingns lam. One meeis with so many amusing icidents, and inhales such fine air, and gets so inuol: exercise both for body and mind, that to such a temperament as mine it is both food and raiment, and at a less cost than would be charged by the cwisiniers ov modistes of Paris Some of our journeys last summer over Europe, | were full of incident and interest. I suall not easily forget one deligh’ful excursion up the Rhine, our dining on deck of one of the | boats, and enjoying the cool breeze from the mountains, with the variety and fresh- ness of the beautiful scenery. Theso boats are | crowded with English, ofall classes, and they are | the most inveterate sketchersI have ever seen; almost in every corner of the boat you would see a lady witha sketch book in her hand; and even where there was nothing but bare rocks, there they were, as busy as bees, sketching and sketch- {og and sketching to the end of the chapter. The society at the watering places, such as Baden-Baden and Wieshaden is not so lively or agreeable as the watering places in the United Srates; but the scenery is more picturesque, and very different from that of Sara- toga. The amusements are also very different, and far more dangerous. Gambling is the chief amusement at those watering places, both for gentlemen and ladies ; and it is really interesting and melancholy, to watch the eager countenances, as they hang over the tables. When they see a stranger advance, they quictly raise their eyes | from the table, to see if they have a fresh victim. | There are some who remain all night, gambling | the whole time, and taking but very slight refreeh- | of his country, to strengthen ‘he arms of those to whom ment. Iheard of one lady, who remained up three nights in succession; and really, when I saw her, she looked more like a being of the other world than an. inmate of this. Her eyes were swollen, and her cheeks sunken. What a siate of society! But ot all the piaces I have seen, my recollece tions of Venice are the most interesting. It is the only place which surpassed my expegtations. Imagine going out of your house into a gondola— going to church in a gondola—going a shopping in ; agondola—and even beyging in a gondola. One | day that we were gondoliering about, we heard | great splashing of oars, and on turning round, | we saw two gondolas, anda man in each; and | we asked why they were following us so | elesely. Their reply was, they were poor, and | wanted something; one was a cripple. We | threw them a few sous, and they soon went gon- doliering after some others. It was really a very novel sight. It is a sign of wealth to have two gondoliers ; some can only afford to keep one. They also have large gondolas, which they call omnibusses, that run up and down the grand canal, all day long. Never shall 1 forget the fiffeen days I passed at Venice; the de- lightful repose of body and mind; such perfect tranquillity—nothing heard but the splashing of oarsor the hollow cry of tne boat- men, as they p»ssed gloomily along. Manya time have I opened my window, about two in the morning, (‘or I could not sleep tor the mu-qui™ toes,) and watch these gondolas passing and re- passing The Lida is the only place of resort which the middling classes of Venetians have in the summer. It isan island full of green trees, | green hillocks, forts and soldiers, drinking gar- dens, fashionable promenades, Austrian officials, and ftalian lazaroni. in the beautiful afternoons, after being fatigued | in the morning inj hanging over the celebrated | public and private galleries of art.
