LITERATURE IN PARIS.--A correspondent of the London _Literary
Gazette_, under date of June 12, says:

"I notice reprints, by Didot, of several of the standard works
of Chateaubriand; a condensation, by General O'Connor, of his
"Monopoly;" a Treatise, by the Bishop of Langres, on the grave
question of Church and State; a very interesting and curious
work on the forests of Gaul, ancient France, England, Italy,
&c.; a volume of the Unpublished Letters of Mary Adelaide
of Savoy, Duchess of Bourgogne--which throws great light on
many of the principal historical events and personages of
her time; a charming series of Sketches from Constantinople,
entitled "Nuits du Ramazan," by Gerard de Nerval, a popular
_feuilletoniste_; a big volume of the works of St. Just, the
terrible Conventionist; a continuation of the Illustrated
Edition of Defauconpret's Translation of the complete works
of Walter Scott; an admirable fac-simile collection of
Contemporary Portraits of Eminent Individuals of the Sixteenth
Century; a reprint of Boileau's Satires; an Alphabetical
and Analytical Table of all the Authors, Sacred and Profane,
discovered or published in the forty-three volumes of the
celebrated Cardinal Mai; a 'Month in Africa,' by Pierre
Napoleon Buonaparte, &c. There have also been more than the
usual average of works in the Greek, Latin, Hebrew. Italian
and Portuguese."

DR. GUTZLAFF, the famous missionary, is now in Germany, and he had
recently an interview with the Presidents of the Corporation of
Merchants of Stettin, to give them some information as to the sort of
goods best adapted for exportation to China. He held out very little
encouragement of a profitable trade with that country at present, as
he said he could not name a single article of German manufacture he
thought likely to secure any great demand. He commended the English
government for establishing a "Chinese Exhibition," in order to
instruct the merchants of the real nature and quality of Chinese
productions. (He must have meant the exhibition of the late Mr. Dunn,
of Philadelphia, so long open in London, and erroneously supposed
that it was a government institution.) He also described the Chinese
language itself, on account of its extreme difficulty, as the chief
obstacle in the way of the civilization of the people. H
