The Paris Papers of Friday, which were d 0

press relates priampally to the King of FRANCO

consequences. His MAJurtY's intellectual postro

subject of the dissatisfactiou expressed by

The disorder was first noticed by the. Ministers at
one of the Cabinet Councils, when his MAJlerea
mind wandered altogether from the business .-
mediately before the Cabinet. Respect Ond
surprise kept them silent fur some time, nett
length the malady became so apparent tl(nt
it was necessary to lead his MAJESTY tallis

his physicians. The occurrence of so great an oil

Mrs. cIFIXTLIVIII'S lively comedy of The Busy

which to the admirers' of genuine comedy presen'ed
in tl e Sir Francis Gripe of MUSDXX a never-to-

the part with much spirit.
Gioranni is Ireland having been withdrawn, the
pageant of The (Orono/ow has been revived in all
its splendour, and was repeated last night after the
play. When Mr. ELLISTOX made his appearance
in the proceseion in the character of the Sovereign.
some mal-contents mauled him with u volley of
biases; the plaudits, however. of the rest of the
audience soon overpowered the disapprobation. and
the show proceeded without further interruption.

too well confirmed in the favour of the public to
weed mention. The part of Jerry ha. not a more
perfect representative. He has just the right pro-
portions of simplicity, boorishness, and frow.rdness,
for the formation of a town-sped dupe.--The farce
of Tog in Distress (a very witty and 'spirited version
of she Spoird Child) succeeded. Mr. TAYLIuRI
delighted the house with his broad and grotesque
humour, fur displaying which his massive features and
