PARIS, _Nov. 21, 1802._ Mr. Edgeworth's summary of events closed, I believe, last Thursday. Friday we saw beauty, riches, fashion, luxury, and numbers at Madame Recamier's; she is a charming woman, surrounded by a group of adorers and flatterers in a room where are united wealth and taste, all of modern execution and ancient design that can contribute to its ornament--a strange _mélange_ of merchants and poets, philosophers and parvenus--English, French, Portuguese, and Brazilian, which formed the company; we were treated with distinguished politeness by our hostess, who concluded the evening by taking us to her box at the Opera, where, besides being in company with the most fashionable women in Paris, _we were seen_ by Buonaparte himself, who sat opposite to us in a railed box, through which he could see, but not be seen.
