EXTRACT OF_ A LETTER FROM PARIS.

" At this moment the telegraphic lines are com-
pleted. The Emperor tins caused these lines to be
extended, did by his command researches are now
making in wha! manner a cros.. line may be made
toToiloti, to join that from Pails to Mdan, in such
a 'manner that . the Monarch in his palace may
connect-the movements of his fleets in the harbours
of Antwcrp, Brest, and Toulon, and in a few
moments receive intelligence of his orders having
been carried' into execution."

DRURY LANE THEATRE.

On Slturday'a meeting of the Subscribers to the
re•building of Drury-lane Ventre was held at' the
Crown and Anchor Tavern, _Lord HOLLAND iothe
Chair. _ .

Mr. WHITBREAD read the Report of the Com-
mittee, containing the proceedings since the last
meeting, and the progress made in carrying on the
building, under the direetion of Mr.AVYATT, the
.Architect. The substance, of 'the -Report, which
extended to a very considerable length, and which
is to be printed old circulated,
,stated,—
" That the who 4 amour of expei,ce for build-
ing and decorating the Theatre so 35 to tender it fit
fo" public representations, would net exceed t he ori-
gin 4 e,tirna:e of 150;0001.; `t' at order to defray
. tt,e, expences'already incurred, the Subscribers' mo-
ney load not teen oucliect "but the- ences were
def,,yed from the ‘.ottey raised trout the Insurance
Offices, and to a.sum of 52001. which lay at the.
Banker's on account of the old concerr7-that the
creditors had 'made application to Chancery to have
this money restored, but no order was made in their
favour, and an indemnity wi-s given by the Trustees
to the Bankers for the money—that the contract for
building the Theatre was to be fulfilled by the end
of the year, so thatithe Theatre night be open for
performances on the Ist of January. 1313. The
Committee, ho •. ever, hiving the interests of 'the
.concern in view, had considered it more expedient to
open at an earlier period, and as Mr. Wyatt had stated
in his report that a sum of 15001. would enable
him to forward toe works, so as to let in the pub-
lic on the Loth of October, of the' pre-ent year ;
a:11 that a sum of 6001. was necessary for waking
the Gallery more commodious, the Committee con-
ceived that they were justified in recommending for
the adoption of the meeting to agree to advance these,
two sums. It then went on to notice the private
boxes, upon which they made no calculation, and fur-
ther stated, that application had been made to the
Committee for a lease of the Theatre for the term
of 21 years, for which the applicants otfered d 8,0001.
per annum, which sum was rejeded—gney then of-
fered 20,0001. but it was found that this sum would
not give the subscribers more than 5 per cent. and
as there were just grounds for believing that a much
larger dividend would' accrue if the Theatre, was
opened, that offer was also rejected. It was pro-,
posed therefore, in order to meet the demands of
the concern, that the Committee should recommend
a Call_for 20 per cent. in addition to the advance al-
ready made on each subscription."
hies PASCOE GRENFELL, M. P.-therl moved cer-'
tam tesolutions founded upon the Report. -
Thanks were " then voted to Mr: Whitbread and
Lord Holland, an&the other Members of the Com-
mittee, for their exertions.
Mr. WHITBREAD, in returning thanks, had not
the least doubt of the ultimate success of the under-
taking. He recommended to the Subscribers to
circulate the 'Report as widely M possible, as a
mans of doing away these false representations
of the state of the concern, and which had impeded
the Subscription. He assur,d them that he thought
this, the best speculation which had been afloat for
'Many years.—The Resolutions were severally agreed
to, and the Report was ordered to be printed.
The Meeting was then adjourned.

Letters received from Manchester on Saturday,
state the cessation of the disturbances "which took
place in. that town on .the Bth inst. The persons
who signed the reqnisition for a meeting, subse-
quently aesembled at the Police Office,
.where an
Address was voted to the PRINCE REGENT, and left
at different places for signatures. -
