It has been acknowledged, that, under any aspen, these societies could ndt be considered as a union of friends, or of a family, and that they were direded but by motves of speculation; Such speculations ,are contrary to the principles of ,public older; they essentially hurt the revenues of the town of .. 4 stnstettlam, the interests of the Na. tional Theatres, and the advancement of the Arts. Good taste, as well as good manners, condemn them ; they, besides - , by their multiplicity, render the super int enda (ice of the Aiu horities very . difficult: His Highness has decreed, that all those Socie ties should become the object of particular atten tion, and that the Police shut those, the institution or appearance of which give reason for just com plaints.
