certain conditions. Don CARLOS had been
put under arrest in his own hotel. Some
disturbances were expected to break out on
the 31st.

Lord G RANVILLE, the British Ambassador,
was on the point of taking his departure for

London.

Although no positive arrangement has yet been
come to between the Duke of RICHMOND and
the French Government on the subject of the
proposed daily communication between Paris and
London, the negotiation is so far advanced that
hopes are entertained of a speedy and satisfac-
tory conclusion. A surveyor, appointed by the
French Government, has been ordered to examine
the route from Calais to Paris, and to report on
the degree of celerity with which a light carriage
could perform the journey, and also as to the most
ready and least expensive mode of improving
the worst parts of the road. It is said that with
very little improvement to the road, the distance
from Calais to Paris in fine weather might be
performed with a light carriage in 20 hours. At
present the mail takes in fine weather about 25
hours. The estafette takes 17 hours, so that
the mail could be conveyed in a carriage in only
three hours longer time than is now required for
the conveyance of the estafette letters on horse-
back. 1)r. BOWRING, who is now in Paris on
a commercial mission, has been desired by our
Government to press the proposed alteration
upon the French Cabinet.

We have inserted in another column the
comments of such Irish Papers as have yet
reached us upon the KING'S Speech, which
appears to have been conveyed to Dublin
with unprecedented celerity. The Irish .Journals
are very indignant at the threats held out in the
Speech ; and the rapidity with which that Speech
has been diffused all over the country will en-
able us by Monday to learn the opinion of the
Irish Press generally. Having been ourselves
the first to set the example of sending im-
portant news by extraordinary express, we have
great pleasure in bearing our cordial testimony of
approbation to the spirited manner in which the
conductor of the Dublin Evening Mail per-
formed his arduous undertaking. Next to the
applause of his countrymen, who cannot but
duly appreciate his merits, must be his own
satisfaction at his complete succesF. Though
opposed in politics to our contemporary, we
are bound to do justice to his exertions—
and we do it the more readily, because the feat
is so creditable to his enterprise :

(From the Dublin Evening Mail of Wednesday.)
EXTRAORDINARY EXPRESS.

Evening Mail-office, Half-past Six o'clock.
The Mail of this evening presents an unprecedented in-
stance of what indefatigable exertion and liberal outlay can
effect. We subjoin a verbatim copy ofthe King's speech to both
Houses of Parliament—not as it was settled by the Council, or
as it was intended to have been spoken (as has sometimes been
done by anticipation), but as actually delivered by his Majesty
at Westminster, in the afternoon of yesterday !! ! A gentle-
man connected with this journal left London in a light travel-
ling carriage, constructed for the occasion, immediately after
the speech had been spoken; and previous arrangements having
been made all along the road, the turnpike gates being left
open, and postpoys and horses in expectant readiness, he
reached Holyhead this morning, having performed a great por-
tion of the journey at the rate of eighteen miles an hour includ-
ing stoppages ! At Holyhead we had a steam.boat in waiting,
placed at our disposal by the City of Dublin Company, in
the most liberal and considerate manner. Another per-
son belonging to our establishment was here in readiness
to receive the despatch, and having instantly embarked
on its arrival, was landed at Kingstown at Half-past Five
o'clock. We owe it in justice to Captain Soy, and the
excellent vessel which he commands, the Birmingham, to
express our acknowledgment and thanks for the courtesy of
the former, and for the manner in which the voyage was per-
formed in a boisterous sea, and in most tempestuous weather.
This is the most extraordinary instance on record of the ra-
pidity with which the journey and voyage between the metro-
polis of the two countries is capable of being performed ; and
if the proof were not before us, would appear almost incredible.
—Both have been completed in 25 hours and a half! We
trust the public in general, and the readers of the Evening
Mail in particular, will bestow upon us the only reward we
seek at their hands—credit for our exertions in contributing
towards the information, and gratifying the curiosity of both,
upon all great and important occasions of interest. We this
evening despatched from our office in post.chaises, with direc-
tions to travel express, special messengers with papers to every
part of Ireland,—Cork, Limerick, Belfast, &c. &c., with par-
ticular instructions to supply the Editors of the different Jour-
nals in the towns through which the expresses pass, with
copies—and this indiscriminately, and without any regard to
the party to which they may be attached, or to the politics
they may advocate.
