An excel. dent band of musicians perfosmed the newest dances of the season, which were enjoyed by a host of pretty ledies, whe were quite numerous, under the Arrrican tog. There was, undoubtedly, an array of beeuty mot to be surpassed, in the saloons of Mr. Sandford, whe did the honors of his mansion in the most charming style. Several distinguished men were present on the occasion, among whom I will mention the present American Minister at Vienna, Mr. McCurdy, who, by the by, left Paris yesterday morning, on his way to Austria. This national sowe ended at three o'clock in the mora- ing, ond it aflorded great pleasure to see how much, on that neutral ground of the embassy, the real equality which reigns so little in New York, and Saratoga, ond Newport, was observed, even by thote who are so very aristocratic in their exterior, in their native lend. [ must say, that in Paris, Venity and “upper tendom” are always oa the same level as intelligence end talent. The grand ball given on Tuesday last, by M Dupin, the Speaker of the National Assembly, was the most refined effair and the greatest sight I ever beheld. The rich and elegant hotel of this statesman was decorated ia the finest style, aad the profusion of lights and flowers rendered th» presi- dential palace of M. Dupin a copy of one of the fairy residences of the Arabian Nights. There were more than three thousand guests wader the roof of the Speaker of the Legislative Assem ly; and among the Kepreeentatives, | remarked all the leading men of that body, and uleo the members ot Louis Napoleon's cabinet. The l’revident, though not in good epirits, arrived at nine o'clock, and re mained there till eleven e'clock. The ball wasex. tremely gay, and it only ended at Lalf-past three o'clock.
