quo son intention est de LES VENDRE, anx conditions qui sort

I. Dans un canon b visiere optique, dont la portle est deux fois
celle d'un canon ordinaire. •
2. Dans des bombes qui font explosion au moment oa elles
frap-
pent l'object voulu, et dont le pouvoir est de detruire tout batiment
de guerre atteint par une de ces bomlies.
3. Dans des roquettes a canon; elles sent construites de maniere a
cc qu'elles parcourent leur Lipie avec la meme certitude qu'un bou-
let ; toute espece de canon est propere a lee lancer, elles:vont sans ba-
guetteset leur pouvoir destructif est tel que rien lie lour fait resis-

[TRANSLATION.]
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.
WITHIN the last three years, H.R.H. the
DUKE of NORMANDY having offered his INVEN-
TIONS In WEAPONS of WAR to the Government of her Britannic
Majesty, and his offers not having been accepted, the Prince has
come to the determination of announcing to the public that he intends
to DISPOSE OF THEM by SALE, on the annexed Terms.
These Inventions consist of—

L A Cannon with an optical sight, of which the range Is twice that
of the ordinary Cannon.
2. A description of Bombs which explode the moment they touch
the object against which they are fired, and of which the force is so
great that they will destroy every fortification struck by them.
3. Canon Rockets, so constructed that they preserve the line in
which they are fired, with the same certainty as a ball ; every kind
of cannon is capable of discharging them ; they are fired without
sticks, and their destructive power is such that nothing can resist
them ; every vessel struck by one of these weapons is infallibly des-
troyed. Some explode when they reach their mark—others in two
or three minutes afterwards ; some of them are capable of suffocating
the crew of a ship, and others will sat fire to a building without the
possibility of extinguishing the flames : they will pierce the sides of a
ship of war, even though it were constructed of iron.
4th. A Machine of War, which placed either on the surface of the
earth or beneath it, on the surface of the sea or under it, will pre-
vent any enemy, whatever may be his number or force, from ap-
proaching the frontiers of a country, or the entrance of a sea-port ;
this machine, which may be divided into parts, may be placed, as
occasion may require, in the manner of artillery, and by the effects it
is calculated to produce protects by itself, without need of direction,
the nation possessing its secret. On the sea it will blow vessels of
war out of the water ; on land, it will annihilate armies or detach-
ments. By means of this machine, fortifications of every kind will
be rendered useless.
sth. Hand Rockets, constructed to defend a town against an army
that should attempt to enter it; or as a defence on the sea against a
pirate vessel, against which, by this weapon, a simple fishing-boat
would be rendered safe. With the same weapons on board, a mer-
chant vessel has nothing to dread from the largest ship of war.

TERMS OF THE SALE. Guineas.

THE LYcLum.—Last evening a new dramatic sketch,
entitled The Three Era Diavolos, by the author of Polka-
mania, wag produced at the Lyceum, under favourable
auspices. The plot, in a few words, may be said to describe
the adventures of a party of English fashionables at Rome.
The ladies Iro )ose an excursion to the ruins of Adrian's
Villa, near Tivoli, and this reaching the ears of their gallants,
they proect a surprise of their fair tourists, in the characters
of the Era Diavolos. This is followed by a similar plot of
their servants to ft ighten their masters, while they in turn '
are set upon, as well as their employers, by the dreaded ban-
ditti they were personating, and, after being stripped and ill-
treated, only escape death or captivity by the unexpected ar-
rival of the papal soldiery. So ends the piece. The prin-
cipal characters were performed by Messrs Vining, Keeley,
and Wigan ; an I Miss Woolgar, Mrs. Woollidge, and Miss
Turner, who certainly contributed in no small degree to the
SUCCOB3 of the piece.
