The Provisional Committee of the Paris and Lyons Railway Com-
pany having ascertained that it is the intention of the French Govern-
ment to lease the line to a company able and willing to reimburse the
State for all expenditure hitherto incurred, and to undertake all fur-
ther outlay which may be required for the entire construction of the
line, have determined upon increasing the capital to the full amount
necessary for this purpose. In conformity with the terms of sub-
scription contained in the circular of the 10th August last, which con-
templated such a contingency, they have resolved upon offering
to the Shareholders Two New Shares for every Old Share, sub-
ject to all the liabilities of increase or diminution hereafter, as in the
fonner case, and subject also to any further call which may be found
necessary. All Shareholders who may wish to avail themselves of
this option are requested to apply at the office, and to produce the
original receipts, between Tuesday, 11th, and Saturday, 22(1 inst.
Notice is hereby given, that all parties nut applying within the pro-
scribed time will be considered to have waived their claim to the ad-
ditional shares, which will be otherwise appropriated.
