Excerpt from Ecarte; Or, the Salons of Paris, Vol. 3 of 3 ON the following morning, at an early hour, the handsome cabriolet of the marquis was seen winding through the narrow dirty streets of that quarter of Paris which is not inappropriately called the Mantis, and which may be considered as bearing a striking simili tude, as well from its appearance, as from the manners and isolated habits of its occupants, to the Little Bri tain, of London, so humorously described by Wash ington Irving in his Sketch Book. Seldom was the curiosity of the good people of the Marais gratified by the appearance of any thing higher in the scale of ve hicles than a fiacre, if we may except one or two old rumbling family carriages, that had been handed down from father to son for several successive generations; and which regularly once a year furnished and beauti fied for a long-champs procession in the season, were drawn by two long-tailed, snail-paced animals, of years nearly coeval with the ponderous machine itself.
