The following is an extract from a Paris lady's letter: — People are positively timorous about expending an unnecessary centime in pretence of the darkening i future. Many sales of artistic treasures hare been countermanded till after the European war, now considered to bo imminent, No purchasers were to be found < willing to lock up capital in pictures, tapestry, and antique furniture. Many , families in Paris that were in the habit of i taking furnished villas in the suburbs < during the summer, have this year given Dp their town residence for six months, and transported their chattels directly to the country. Hence why the streets of Paris are blocked with furniture vans < Hying, as it were, the capital ; as formerly its shelter was sought before tho siege.
