TO TOE roman.
SlR—Several letters and articles having been published in
,he public Prirtia, referring to a late Trial in the Court of
King's Bench, I beg that it may be perfectly understood, that
neither the above-named Lady, nor I, as her Solicitor, nor her
friends, had any knowledge whatever of those publications, or
any of them, until they so appeared ; and that it is not the in-
tention of Miss Foote or myself to write one word on the sub-

POIT-OFFICE.—It is confidently stated, that
in a very few weeks, several important alterations will take
place in our Post-office regulations, which will be calcu-
lated materially to benefit the commercial interests of this
town. 'We are informed that the Postmaster-General in-
tends striking off the present Glasgow mail from the road
altogether, and that the Leeds and Glasgow mails will be united,
Pursuing the same route from London which the Leeds
Mail has hitherto taken, through Nottingham, Sheffield, and
Wakefield, and passing on from hence through flarewood, Har-
rogate, Ripen, Leeminlane, &c. This mad, we understand,
will be brought to Leeds by seven o'clock in the evening ; the
letters will be delivered soon after, on application, and a few
hours will be afforded for reply before the mail front Glasgow
for London arrives, so that communication with the Metropo-
lis can be made in one day less than the present arrangements
admit of. The plans of the London and Edinburgh mail are
also undergoing a change, with a view to expedite the journey,
and instead of going through York, it will pass on from Ferry-
bridge through Wetherhy, Knaresborough, Boroughbridge,
Ac. Our present Liverpool and York mails will also be affected
by the above arrangements.—( Leeds hdelligeneer.)

CAUTION FOR CIIIIISTAIAS.—LadieS, let us entreat ye not
to foriget the damp and cold nights of this season. Beware
or balls and midnight parties—or rather, of the usanner in
tehich you quit them" A stitch in time saves nine." Cover
Your throat, ears, legs, and feet well, before you tempt
the keen blast, or cold shower of two o'clock in the morning.
Don't be ashamed to draw a pair of worsted hose over your
Bilk Ones, nor blush to wrap yourself up in a great coat, should
Your shawl be too flimsy—nay, spurn not a " drop o' brandy"
when the cock warns you of your departure from the merry
meeting. These things—if you fear death or doctor's

SOLEM QUIS DICEIIE FALSUM AUDILIT

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, DEC. 25, 18/4.

The Speech of the FRENCH MONAacn, which
was so anxiously expected yesterday, came last
night, by Express, and will be found in another
part of our Paper this day. If it contains no-
thing of very striking importance, yet, it must b©
deemed interesting and satisfactory, inasmuch
as it announces the amicable relations subsist-
ing between France and the other Powers,
and consequently implies that the tranquillity of
Europe is not likely to be interrupted. The
tribute which Ills MAJESTY paid to the chit"
racter and political conduct of his depart-
ed brother does honour to his feelings, and
if the measures adopted by the late KING are
likely to be beneficial to the country, it is to
be hoped that he will continue to adopt them, in
order to repair the Nation for all the dreadful evils
which resulted from that horrid mass of anarchy,
plunder, and massacre, the French Revolution.
—lt might be regretted that the KING touched
upon the invasion of Spain, which he considers RS
a glorious achievement ; but that he has announc-
ed that a new Convention had taken place, by
which a part of the French Army will be left for
the protection of that country. The most
interesting part of the Speech relates to the
indemnity intended for those who chiefly
suffered by the fatal Revolution, particularly
as it intimates that this great act of justice apd
policy can be effected without any augmentation
lof the burtheus of the people On the whole,

the Speech, as we have said, is an interesting, if
not an important, document, and honourable to
the character and feelings of the Monarch.

We have also received the Paris Papers from

the 19th to the 9.3 d inclusive. As it had been
determined, the Sessions of the Chambers was
opened on Wednesday ; and from all appear-
ances it seems likely to he a long one, as the Mi-
nister M. de Villele has several projects of law
to bring forward, the discussion of which (par-
ticularly that relating to the proposed indemnity
for the emigrants) will necessarily occupy much
time. The Etoilc states that "if the Session, as
is more than probable, should not be terminated
by the end of April, it will be adjourned till
after the ceremony of the Coronation, which will
take place in the month of May." It is under-
stood that the Coronation will not detain the
KING more that three days from his good city of
Paris. His MAJESTY will sleep on the evening
of his departure, at the Palace of the Archbishop
of RHEIMS. The ceremony will take place the

next morning, and the KING will sleep that even.
ing at the Castle of Compeigne. On the third
day the Court will return to the capital, and then
immediately afterwards the public rejoicings will

commence.
We learn from these Papers that the Prince
de POLIGNAC has formally declined taking a seat
in the Cabinet ; and that his Highness will re-
turn to London on the 2d January.
The Moniteur of Wednesday, in its official
part, contains a Royal Ordinance for the new
organization of the Provincial Theatres in France,
and for the advancement of the Dramatic art, of
which the following is the preamble
CHARLES, &C. &C. Ste,
Considering that almost all the Theatres in the departments
have been for some years in a state of decay, that a great num-
ber of cities have made vain eflbrts to support these Theatres,
and that several managers have impaired their fortunes ;
Considering that the dramatic art is interested in the pros-
perity of the provincial Theatres, since they Aiwa to young
actors, with the advantages of gradual instruction, all the means
to make themselves known, and to attain, one day, engage-
ments in the Royal Theatres.
Desiring to favour the progress of an art which has always
been cultivated in France with success, and to enable the mana-
gers to have in our cities better companies of actors ;
Considering the necessity of organizing the theatres of our
departments on new bases;
On the report of our Minister Secretary of State of the

Interior,
We have ordained and ordain as follows:
(The regulations, in 29 articles, follow).
Excit FUN pg.—Pants, Di:c. 22.—Five per Cents.
