From late English paper I'VE COPY the following:


The Queen and Prince Albert will leave Osborne House

proaches The presence in the French capital is indeed
novelty.

four of the theatres Of the capta!nanely: tho Grand
OPERA the Opera Comique the Theatre Francois and the
Gymnase. With delicate attention, the Emperor has,
understand already transmitted list of the pieces in the
