A despatch from Warsaw, of the 23d, states that
the authorities, in order to put an end to the melan-
choly aspect of the city, have ordered the theatres
to be opened. The inhabitants are b receive
tickets, which they will be bound to make use of,
and occupy the places assigned to them. Such
persons as do not obey this injunction will render
themselves liable to certain penalties set forth in
the ordinance. The proceedings against the per-
sons arrested in consequence of the events of the

quence of the state of public opinion, but will be
sent to reside in the provinces.
