W. B. PROMOLI,
SUCCESSOR TO THOMAS WOOLFIELD.
No. 24, CHURCH-STREET,
ADJOINING THE POSTOFFICE,_

RESPECTFULLY announces, that, agreeably to his
former Advertisement, he, on the 13th instant,
OPENED HIS NEW PREMISES to the
Public. He therefore begs to renew his invitation to his
Friends and Customers to visit his unrivalled Establishment.
and to inspect a Stock remarkable for its greater extent,
elegance, and choice of Goods than any yet collected toge-
ther.

W. B. P., under the impression that his concern is really
unique, will, being honoured with the same encouragement
and distinguished patronage with which he has hitherto been
favoured, continue to maintain it on a similar scale of mag-
nitude, by, if possible, a still greater attention to the manu-
facturing of his Goods, and by a careful selection of the best
of their kind in England, France, Germany, and Italy; his
knowledge and experience of which may be, gathered from
the fact, that, for the last eight years, he was accustomed to
act in the latter department for his esteemed friend and pre-
decessor, THOMAS WOOLFIELD, who, in return, being at
present on the Continent, is giving him the advantage of his
time and taste in the purchase of articles of novelty.
W. B. P. considers it unnecessary to remind the Public,
that, selling always for nett cash, wiihout any deduction, he
is enabled to charge comparatively a very small profit upon
his Goods; therefore, it must follow that their price and
quality are unequalled. He may farther add, that his great
sales in every branch also enable him to manufacture and to
purchase in large quantities; consequently, he buys at a less
cost, and obtains the full advantage of the manufacturers'
discounts where allowed for payment in cash.
In a few weeks the Fixtures, &c. will be ready for the two
former Shops, when the whole Front will be made to corre-
spond, exhibiting a rich and attractive display of Goods from
all parts of the world.

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.—The
followiug letter is another proof of the great efficacy of
this Medicine, which has acquired throughout the United
Kingdom a higher degree of approbation and confidence
than perhaps ever was afforded to any public medicine.
The of cted with those tormenting diseases Gout, Rheu-
matic Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Sciatica, pains in the
head and face, often mistaken for the toothache, tic doloreux,
&c., will find from the use of this medicine that speedy relief
for which it is so celebrated. And while its efficacy is un-
paralleled in the foregoing diseases, it must be consolatory to
the afflicted with Gout to be assured that it possesses the
property of preventing the disease flying to the brain,
stomach, or other vital part.

LINCOLN, March 23, 1838.—Sir,—I have the pleasure to
inform You of the following cure :—William Rawson of
Normanby, near Spittal, Lincoln, has been suffering a Icng
time with Rheumatism, his left hand and all up his arms
being useless from pain ,nd swelling. Seeing Blair's Pills
advertised for Rheumatism, he applied to me to know if I
thought he would be relieved if he took the Pills. I recom-
mended him to try a box, he bought one, and came the next
week to say he felt much re:ieved, as the swelling of his hand
had gone nearly down : he however finished the . box, and
bought a second, and came this day (March 23, 1838) to say
that he had taken the second box of Pills, and that he was
well, free from swelling, and..able ntlueticseh hbiesnheafintdl as usual.

to inform you of the same, and hopes others may be induced
to try such a valuable medicine for Rheumatism or Gout.

FRANCE.
(From the Private Correspondent of the Standard.)
PARIS, AUG. 27.
THE FESTIVALS AT PARIS.
The present of a "sword" to the young Count of Paris by
the municipality of this city might have passed unperceived,
but for the very extraordinary speech of the prefect of
the department. According to his speech, it would have
been much better to have presented the baby boy with
a popgun, a rabbit skin, or a bag of marbles: Or, if
the municipal authorities of Paris would lay out 35,000
francs, it would have been better to have purchased a model
of a steam ena:ne, or of steam carriages, or of looms, mer-
chant brigs, and so forth. But to present a sword of 35,000
francs value to the Count de Paris, at the same time telling
him that it is never to be used, and that he is to maintain
peace at all prices, is too absurd and flagrant a contradiction
not to be noticed by so witty a
_people as the French. The
7ournat clesllthcits feels indeed the ludicrous nature of such a
gift upon such terms, and, therefore, although the good bur-
gesses of Paris did tell the young Count de Paris and his
grandfather that his sword from the city of Paris was not to
be used by the infant heir, either as Charlemagne or as Na-
poleon used theirs, yet the Debats contains the following ex-
planation of it, supposes the municipal authorities meant to
say; at the same time admitting that they did not very
clearly express their meaning. The Debats gives the mean-
ing as follows :
" Gardons la paix, mais soyons prets a la. guerre! Point
de paix a tout prix ! Voici uue arine; c'est pour combattre !
et si jamais vous tries oblige de marcher a la frontiers, oubliez
la harangue rnuuicipale de 1838; mais rappelez-vows Charle-
magne et tachez d'imiter Napoleon!"
The Journal des Debats contains to-day the following war-
like conclusion to this pacific harangue of the municipality
of Paris. it is important, as it is the language of the go-
vernment, and as it indicates the possibility of a war with
Switzerland and Russia:—
France has drawn the sword ten times since the revolu-
tion of July—at Ancona, at Antwerp, at Lisbon, at Maskara,
at the Shikak, at Constantine ; and to-day it draws its sword
in Mexico, and perhaps to-morrow it wilt do so in the East,
or on the Alps. We wish for peace, and vet in the situation
apparently the calmest in which the world was ever placed,
we encounter some eleinents or war everywhere. The reason
is, that war is at the bottom of most of the questions which•
still divide the world, and which is agitating iu the silence
of the cabinet. We desire- that it may not break out; and
we desire that. France shall not provoke the conquerors of
1815, that the treaties of that epoch may be respected, and
that the limits of the Rhine may not be passed. But the
present moment contains germs of political misunderstanding
which the future may of a sudden develope. Watch, then
ministers of the King ! Soldiers, generals, be ready ! Heirs
to the throne, forget not that the army is the only defence of
a country which has no longer.a northern frontieri! Count
of Paris, remember in twenty years that when the city of
l'aris presented you with a sword, it was that, some day or
other, if necessary, you should show its point."
This warlike apostrophe to the young Count of Paris is ill
in harmony with the " peace at all prices" opinions which
surrounded his royal cradle.
The King of the French yesterday received the peers who
were not presented to him on the previous day; the deputies
present at Paris, about 100; a great number of generals and
functionaries and officers of various grades. The King, see-
ing amongst those present a lieutenant of the chasseurs of
Africa, with a leg ainputated, presented him to the minister
of finance and said, " He is a brave man who has lost his
military prospects. I recommend him to you ; he can still
serve his country usefully."
The Prefect of the department of Seine and Oise was ad-
mitted at the head of the municipal council, officers of the
National Guards, and mayors of the department.
At two o'clock the Marshal Lobau, Commandant of the
National Guards of Paris and of the Department of the
Seine, had the honour of being admitted to the King with
his staff,- the General Jacqueminot at its head. The Marshal
made a speech, and the King replied.
Then followed the officers of the 13 legions of Paris and of
four legions of the environs, and the deputations were so
numerous that they took till half-past three in the afternoon
before they had ceased tu file off.
The Municipal Council of Paris has voted 175,000 f. for the
files, which are to he celebrated in Paris.
The Minister of War has ordered 33,000 f. to be distributed'
among oid worn-out soldiers, and. the widows of soldiers, de
priced of tho means of existence.
The Archbishop of Paris addressed the following letter to
the curates of his diocese, which is the
.best reply to the
qnodlibets and diatribes of the Quotidienne
. . ` Paris, Aug. 23.
" Monsieur le Crue.—By his letter, dated the 25th August,
the King has expressed to me his desire that a solemn Te
Deum should be sung, as in the metropolitan church, as
in other parishes of the diocese, to render thanks for the
birth of a prince, his grandson, who has received with state
the title of Count of Paris, and in the Catholic Church, by
holy baptism, that of a Christian, a child of God, and an in-
heritor of the kingdom of heaven. Consequently, the Te
Deum will be chauuted on Tuesday next, the 28th inst., •at
two o'clock in the afternoon, and in the other parochical
churches of the city and country on the Sunday following, at
the close of the grand mass. On that day will be recited at
the parochial mass the orations indicated below.
" Receive, M. le Cure, the assurance of my sincere
attachment,
HYACINTHS, Archbishop of Paris."
The Ban Sen.t says, the official notification of the birth of
the Count de Paris has been sent to the Duke d'Angouleine
and the Duchess de Berri, through the medium of the Aus-
trian and Neapolitan Ambassadors, and that the former of
these diplomatists, iu consenting to undertake the task of
ma kieg this notification, declared, at the same time, that he
did not consider himself as performing an act of diplomacy in
so doing, hut only one of respectful deference to the person-
ages concerned in it.
The King has ordered two days' pay to he distributer) to all
the sub-officers, soldiers, and sailors of the army and navy,
from the privy purse, on occasion of the birth of the Count de
Paris.
A decree for liberating all members of the National Guard
confined for offences of discipline committed previous to the
birth-day of the Count de Paris is, it is said, about to be issued.
