patronized by Louis XIII, who is
said to havo written one article for
it, and by Cardinal Richelieu, who
wrote great many.
There was London Gazette pub.
lished in London, in 1872. At this
moment there are three Gazettes is
sued by tho Government in the Brit
ish Islands. The London Gazette
first of the present series-was first
published at Oxford where Charles
ii then held his court, the plague
being in London on November 7,
1865. 1t followed the King when no
retained to London, and was first
published there ON February Is,
1866, whom it appeared not as the
Oxford, but as the London Gazette,
There was Dublin Gazette, printed |
by authority in 1859, of which not u
single copy has been preserved, 1t
may be suspected from the date, that
it was published with the sanction of
james III, in the short period imme-
diatoly preceding his defeat at the
Battle of the Boyne, July, 1890.
Again, in 1705, there was another
Dublin Gazette, continued to the
present day. The Edinburgh Ga
zette was begun in 17l5. All three
papers ore conducted by Govern
ment officials, VINO have little to do,
and arc we'll paid for doing it. The
late editor drew at least $4,000 a
year from it Us ,alary, but the pres
ent occupant has only $500. He
has no occasion to write one line in
the year, but is responsible for the
accuracy of whatever appears in it
for it is tho legal vehicle for certain
announcements, which the bad spell
ling of a surname would render null
and void.
The thee Gazettos, published in
the respective capital cities of Eng
land, Scotland and Ireland, yield a
handsome income to the public
treasury. All Government notices,
of whatever kind, as to naval, mill
tary aud civil appointments, must be
officially published in the Gazette, to
, complete their validity. All honort
con erred by the sovereign, must be
thu, announced. A Jack-a-dandy

has been gazettod, All naval an'
; military dispatches during war ar
, published in the Gazotte--so are al
announcements Of bankruptcy, i'll

payments of dividends.

dissolved, and when general elec
: ton is ordered, it is through the Ga
zette. When the Speaker issues hi
. writ for new election OF one o
more members, it is through the Ga
zettr. Certain pubic returns-snc
