The Worshipful Society of Knights Hospitallers, which meets weekly
at the Long-room, Jerusalem Tavern, Sr.. John's Gate, Clerkenwell,
(kept by Brother Blaggs, P.S.M., K.R.C.X.), begs to put the public

The following idea of the present state of Paris is presented by our
fashionable contemporary. It is very significant:—

Grand Master of the St. John's Lodge (meeting as above) has the
right to instal Knights of the Order, which he will be happy to do on
payment of the usual fees, at the weekly meeting of the K. H. on
Mondays, at the above respectable tavern. The Worshipful the K. H.
further beg to state, that the said G. Bowser is not entitled to any
of the privileges or benefits of the Order, such as being admitted
free to the Monday's Harmonic Meetings, wearing the badges and
insignia of the Worshipful Society, holding Office in any of the Society's
Lodges, receiving weekly pay during sickness, taking part in the
annual excursions to Hampton Court, and the Rye-House, or the
annual dinner at Highbury Barn (See the rules of the Society as certified
by John Tidd Pratt, Esq.). Ami the Society of the K. H. do hereby
give notice, that the said G. Bowyer is an impostor, and that if he
present himself at any of the Society's Lodges, and refuse to withdraw
on being requested, or otherwise attempt forcibly to avail himself of
any of the above rights, franchises and privileges, he will be given into
custody.
That nothing is now talked of in Paris but the diminution in the
price of silks and laces, is the natural result of the trial and sentence
of M. de Montalembert. There is hardly anything else that the
Parisians could safely talk about except the weather, and conversation
on that subject might, as seeming to indicate an English tendency, be
taken as evidence of disaffection. The Indies, however, live doubtleso
