THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE.
GENERAL REDUCTION OF PRICES.

'IC-price 6d.
rhe Lessee of this Theatre, in deferring to the opinion of many
its patrons, that a general reduction of prices would be highly
cceptable to the Public atlarge, begs most respectfully to state that
t has determined to make the experiment.
L announcing this circumstance he claims to himself the privi-
ge of directing public attention to the fact of such alteration oc-
wring at a period when all his engagements are made on a totally
ifferent principle, and that the possibility of remuneration can
Tilly be found in a corresponding patronage. In the hope that he
nay meet with it, the Lessee begs leave to state, most emphati-
ally, that no curtailment whatever will occur in the representation
the Entertainments of this Theatre. The same performers will
appear, the same engagements be entered upon, the Novelties
rady announced will be produced on the same magnificent scale
-which has ever characterised this Theatre, and altogether no reduc-
timl whatever will be made in the Establishment except in the prices
of 'di ;fission. With this assurance the Lessee again begs to state
that he has taken the decisive step of reducing the prices to the fol-
lowing, scale:—
Boxes 45., Pit 25., Gallery Is. Half-price---Boxes 25., Pit Is.,
al er v (id.
Obsjrving, however, that every proper precaution will be takeit
to prevent the possibility of any infringement on that comfort and
de lormn which Las hitherto invariably attended the respectable sup-
lioi `ers of this elegant National Establishment.
1, hazarding this experiment the Lessee indulges a full hope that
its sri :Ciss3 may render the contemplation of any return to the late
pi-tt;••:; wholly unnecessary.

HAMBURGH, DEC. 12.
(IN approach of the COMMENCEMENT of
Nk_f JANUARY, all those who may have to write to us before that
time, are requested to do so without delay, and to be particular in
directing,
HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURGH,
and to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage
only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus
101., 201., or 301., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng-
land Note would only cause double Postage, but 101. remitted in
two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there-
fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham-
burg,h, to forward the amount in One Note; or having to receive
Money from Haniburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when-
ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England,
urpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may
her be made in Bills of Exchange, on London. We request not
.rlook these particulars.
IiEINE BROTHERS in HAMBURGH.
. To permit's having to remit Si., on receiving a Ten Pound
we return Two Pound in the cheapest why possible.

of the Uditm; wond . 'v tended to

jnainder
-•t based

sident JACKSON, and then contemplate the peculiar
felicity which, in despite of themselves, they enjoy,
living as they do under the shadow of Royal diadems.
Of the PRESIDENT'S Message no fewer than thirteen
paragraphs, or nearly a fourth of the entire document,
is taken up with grave considerations respecting the
disposal of the surplus revenue I Is not this frightful ?
The American Government is so rich—so superabounds
in wealth and resources—that Congress is invited to
deliberate upon the best means of reducing taxation
without giving offence to the people I Under a Mo-
narchy the necessity for making such a startling com-
munication as this could never have occurred.
Kings—GoD bless them I—are never at a loss
as to how they may dissipate the wealth en-
trusted to them by their people. They have
never any occasion to lecture the tax-payers
upon the dangers which they anticipate from
excessive receipts. Their Exchequers are never incon-
veniently filled with an useless revenue. This is a
strong argument in favour of such a system of Go-
vernment, especially where it is borne in mind that
riches are the root of all evil." Thanks to the
diligence of their Majesties, their mistresses, their
courtiers, and all the necessary appendages of crowns
and sceptres, their subjects can seldom afford to pay
taxes enough to meet the current expenses of the Ad-
ministration. Thus evangelical poverty becomes the
rule, and riches the exception among the subjects of
Monarchical States. But the indulgence of Re-
gal Government does not end here. Care is taken
that the few rich shall enjoy all of which it is deemed
prudent to deprive those liable to be corrupted by the
possession of the fruits of their own industry. Thus
the great bulk of the people are indebted to the Go-
vernment for the preservation of those virtues which
distinguish the abjectly poor. Now turn we to the
United States and their PRESIDENT, from whose mes-
svge we shall here make but one brief extract :
" You will perceive, from the Report of the Secretary of
the Treasury, that the financial means of the country continue
to keep pace with its improvement in all other respects. The
receipts into the Treasury, during the present year, will
amount to about 47,661,898 dollars; those from Customs
being estimated at 22,523,151 dollars ; those from lands at
about 24,000,000 of dollars ; and the residue from miscella-
neous sources. The expenditures for all objects, during the
year, are estimated not to exceed 22,000,000 of dollars,
which will leave a balance in the Treasury, for public pur-
poses, on the Ist day of January next, of about 41,723,955
dollars. This sum, with the exception of five millions, will
be transferred to the several States, in accordance with the
provisions of the Act regulating the deposits of the public

money.
" The unexpended balances of appropriation, on the Ist day
of January next, are estimated at 14,636,062 dollars, exceed-
ing by 9,636,062 dollars, the amount which will be left in the
deposit banks, subject to the draft of the Treasurer of the
United States, after the contemplated transfers to the several
States are made."

Next follows a long and elaborate disquisition, the
burden of which is, that nothing can be less sound
than the old adage, " out of debt, out of danger."
This, if true, must be a no trifling 'gratification to a
nation with pecuniary encumbrances to the extent of
eight hundred millions sterling and upwards. Our
Government is happily in a condition to dispose of its
surplus revenue for a century to come, without being
reduced to the awful necessity of taking into conside-
ration the expediency of banding it over, in hard cash,
to the tax-payers.
In every other particular the PRESIDENT'S message
is an able and valuable document, and we have no
doubt will be read with feelings of the deepest interest.
The retirement of General JACKSON is but the pre-
lude to his disappearance from the scene of his
triumphs, for by all accounts it appears that be has
not long to live. His career was one of glory to him-
self, and of happiness to the States of which he is now
the PRESIDENT. His last speech will yet shake
thrones, of which now none doubt the stability.

The speech of the most Christian King to the Peers
and Deputies of France, begins to attract that degree
of earnest attention which would have been paid to it
from the instant of its delivery, had no attempt been
made upon the life of the Sovereign. France, as a
nation, is too powerful—as a constitutional monarchy
too prominent and important—and as the ally of Spain,
and the leading organ of liberal ideas on the continent,
holds too commanding a position among the great
European Powers, to justify a contemptuous disregard
of the language of her Cabinet by whomsoever, and to
whomsoever addressed. Still less warrantable would
be a neglect of a ministerial manifesto intended for,
and recognized as, the basis of a system of policy pro-
posed for the regulation of the conduct of her Govern-
ment, and the acts of her Legislature. We propose
not to ourselves a critical examination of the taste,
good or bad, displayed in the allusion to so many in-
congruous, and in our opinion, irrelevent subjects in a
speech from the throne. We shall deal with facts:and
statements of facts—and as far as we find it developed
—with the system which the Sovereign of the FRENCH
proposes as the basis of the future policy of his Go-
vernment. With this view we shall offer a running
commentary upon the principal paragraphs of the
Royal speech. The first runs thus :

_
" France reaps the fruit of her courage and her wisdom.
Her institutions are becoming strengthened, her prosperity is
increasing, and in assembling you this day, I have but to con-
gratulate myself and you on the success of our efforts for the
happiness of our country."

When these words were spoken, a quarter of an hour
had not elapsed after a regicidal assassin had made a
target of the representative of the first and strongest
institution in France—the Monarchy. Twice, within
six months, had the life of the KING been attempted,
with a desperate devotedness of purpose which defied
precaution, and spurned the hope of impunity. Within
the same period, a military insurrection at Vendome,
and another at Strasburgh, led to the discovery of the
ramifications of dangerous conspiracies in the army—
rather startling proofs, it must be confessed, of the in-
creased consolidation of the military institutions of
France. A King of France, under these circumstances,
might be expected to find matter far more than simple
congratulation in the presence of the national repre-
sentatives. But such was not the opinion of Louts
PHILIPPE. The second paragraph is conceived in
these words :
" I receive from all Foreign Powers the most pacific assur-
ances. The peace of the world appears for a long time secure
from every attack."
We can but infer from this that the French Cabinet
regards a war of extermination in Spain, another in
Circassia, a third on the frontier of Persia, and a fourth
undertaken by France herself in Africa, as so many
guarantees for the undisturbed peace of which the
world is thus promised the long enjoyment. In the
vocabulary of M. BERNARD the word " peace" has a
most extensive signification. The siege of cities by
hostile armies—battles between the military forces of
rival claimants for crowns and for an increase of terri-
tory—are not inconsistent with his notions of universal
tranquillity. The Speech of his Royal Master will
justify us in so interpreting the ideas of the French
Minister of War.

The next two paragraphs relate to the temporary
differences with the Governments of the United States
and Switzerland, now happily adjusted. They are un-
important, and might have been omitted altogether.
Proceed we to what follows :
" The Peninsula is still disturbed by fatal dissensions. Se-
rious events have shaken the institutions of Madrid and Lis-
bon, and Spain has been incessantly desolated by civil war.
Still closely united with the King of Great Britain, I con-
tinue to cause the treaty of -adruple Alliance to be exe-
cuted with 'formity Iv the spirit in
, .
