Visited the French Theater, this Evening, and I must say that I have never seen any thing so well arranged in any other city. There is not a column to be found sup-[15]porting the boxes giving a very light and open appearance to the whole. The boxes are lined with crimson velvet, and containing chairs for each person. The pit, also as generally in Europe, being quite fashionable, is filled with chairs, so that no one is crowded. I have never seen such order & silence in the first theaters of Paris as is here observed. One would almost think himself in church. Every thing being so admirably conducted, the performance was very good and the company large. The upper classes of the Russians generally speak in French.
