FRIDAY, JULY 30. IMPORTANT NEWS PROM PARIS. Reports reach us so rapidly that we feel it difficult to give them any arrangement. The last, and most impor tant is, however, from Calais; that the KING, his Fa mily, and Government, had fled from Paris, with a por t'on of the troops—that the Commune of Paris had de clared their sittings permanent—had called out the old National Guards—had addressed the troops, and been joined by three regiments. We have just received from Paris the Moniteur, the Gazette de France, the Messager des Chambres, the National, and the Temps, of Wednesday, July 28.—The Mcniteur does not contain any thing relative to the late measures, or to the state of Paris, only that the King, by an ordinance of the 25th inst. has given to the Marshal Duke of RAGUSA the command of all the troops forming tl:e Ist military division. From the Message,. des Chambers. Pains. JOLT 27.--At so critical a moment we have considered whether vie should let our paper appear, or cease to exist. Strong in cur consciences and our principles, we have thought that an oppo sition journal was still necessary, not to discuss acts which we will Lc): characterize, and which, under present circumstances, we cannot dikei.t3s, but to collect facts, to give them to the public, and to rectify tl es: if they should be disfigured by the ministerial journals. Thus yr suspend for the present all discussion, preferring silence to a complaisant or forced mutilation of our ideas. The Journal du ('ornmerce has appeared this morning by virtue of an ordinance of tL•e President de Belleytne, to oblige the printer to give to that journal the use of his presses. The following are the terms of it : t• Considering the ordinance of the Bing, of the 25th, relative to the press, has not been promulgated according to the forms prescribed by the ordinance of the 27th of November, 1826, and that of the 18rii of January, 1817, &c. we order M. Selligne to proceed to the composition and printing of the Journal du Commerce, which is to appear to.morrow." A similar ordinance has been issued against ill. Plhisan, printer of La Francs Nouvelle, who, however, has re. fused to comply with it. From the 11ratiottal. ATEnT OF THE CAPITAL. —Since the first days of the Revo lution, Paris had cot been so agitated as during the last two days. The absence of all publicity contributes to this extraordinary ex citement; people run abroad to look for news. The police has caused a great number of coffee-houses, reading-rooms, and places where the journals were usually read, to be shut up. The papers which have appeared this morning without a license, are devoured amidst uneasy groups, and almost under the bayonets of the gene d'armea. The immense population of Paris will not obey the or dinances. It protests by all the means in its power. The work sh spa are everywhere closed, the rich magazines of the streets Riche -li2u, St. Honore, and St. Denis, are only half open. The Palals Royale, so brilliant in the times of peace, so famous in the corn. mencement of the revolution, is now but a gloomy prison. The gates are abut, and the garden and passages cleared. The Tuileries are also shut. Every spot where a number of persons might col: lest is occupied by the gendarmes, the Royal guard, and the troops of the line. Meantime, the alarm increases every hour. Those who go from home out of curiosity or otherwise, run the risk of fulling into the midst of assemblages which are hurrying in all directions, and which the armed force has the greatest trouble to restrain. On both sides blood has flowed. Three gene d'armes, it is said, have been killed, and several workmen, and even wo turn, sabred and trodden under foot by the horses. A word—a ettigle word—the revocation of the ordinances would suddenly res tor• tranquilhly as if by enchantment. But this word does not conic ; it is not even now hoped for, and the consequences of this it,conceivable provocation are now incalculable. We would have it so, say the infamous mercenary journals. No, we would tothave it so; but woe to him who has taken upon his head this terrible responsibility. It is affirmed that M. Cormenen was arrested yes tetchy, the 26th, at Orleans. We are this moment informed that the news of the promulgation of the ordinances of the 26th caused the greater pat t of the manufacturers of Rouen immediately to close their establishments. The funds have to-day experienced a further decline of 4 francs. From Le Temps. PARIS, JULY 27.-.4IZETING Or THE Dorwrizs.--Couriers have been despatched in all directions to summon the Deputies to the post of honour. They will quickly arrive. Only 32 of them were at Paris yestrtday. They assembled, and will soon make known what they have decided. Only one thing preponderated in all their opinions.—the immediate refusal of the taxes to an adminis. trition which has put itself out of the pole of the law, and the coo. ~~ stitutional meeting on the 3d of August (the day for which the Chambers were convoked.) From Ae Gazette de France. PARIS, JULY 27.—UNIVERSITY Or FitawnE.—The Royal Council of public instruction being informed that some students appear to be disposed to take part in assemblages which may en danger good order and public tranquillity, desiring to save the young men from the fatal consequences which would necessarily re sult from the disorders to which these illegal assemblages might have given rise, and from the penalties which the authorities of the University would be obliged to pronounce against the delinquents, reminds the students of all the schools of the University, for the sakeof their studies, for that of their future destiny, and of their fa milies, of the following article.—llere arc quoted the 18th, 19th, anJ 20th articles of the ordinance of the sth July, 1820, and article 36 of the ordinance of the 2d of February, 1823, prohibiting stu. dents from taking part in any illegal assemblies and public disor. dent, forbidding them to act or to write in a collective capacity, as if they formed a corporate body, &c. &c. This notice, dated the 27th of July, is signed by the Count de Guernon Ranville. A letter accompanying the express, dated Paris, July 28, says, Paris in cLinplrte insurrection. Early this morning the Royal in. signia (rhsciyars) were pulled down and burnt in the Place Pub liquc. Tire populace in a ferment traversed the streets, and slopped and disarmed the military. Towards noon the National Guard ap peared here and there in uniform. Some patrols of that Guard traversed various quarters of Paris. At this moment (half.past one) I write amidst the firing of a regiment of the Royal Guttnl and several pieces of cannon, which are directed against the rue de St. Denis. It is affirmed that the city of Paris is declared in a state of iie ; ;e, and that the command of it is given to the Duke of Ragusa. The Exchange is shut. Two o'cLocx.—The firing has ceased. I need not add, that the' cannon have prevailed ; but all is not finished. The Deputies now present at Paris, to the number of about 50, have assembled and have decided that they protested against the ordinances of the 25th of July as illegal and criminal. That they still consider them. selves as the true deputies of France. That a deputation should immediately go the Commandant of the place, and to the Prefect of Paris to ask them to reorganize the National Guard ; that if they decline, the Guard itself was invited to meet permanently to watch over the safety of the city of Paris. The Deputies themselves have declared their meeting permanent. PRIVATR LETTER. PARIS, July 27, Seven o'Clock, A.1.--The Journals are suppressed ! The Con.stitutionnel, with its 17,000 subscribers, does not appear. The Courtier Francais, the Journal du Commerce, the National, the French Times, the Messayer des Chambres, and all the rest of the liberal or moderate papers of the liberal tide, are put down. The English are without their Galiynani's Mes senger, and their London Express ; and the following are the only papers which this morning have permission to appear, viz. Moniteur, Universel, Quotidienne, Ga zette de France, Drapeau Blanc. But I must learn the events of last night, and then continue my letter. Eleven o'Clock, Tuesday Morning.—Last night mobs assembled in various directions, broke the windows of the Treasury, andof the Hotel of the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The police and guard defended themselves from the people. This morning, at an early hour, the win dows of the carriage of Prince Polignac were broken. The National published without permission, an early edition. Le Temps has done the same thing, and announces that it shall oppose force by force. I will send you extracts from these papers. Great bodies of people are assembling in the Palais Royal, and I must proceed thither. Twelve o'Clock, Tuesday.—l have just been to the Palais Royal. There are five thousand persons there. A great many are printers, who are out of employ ; ex electors of 121. a-year, who have no longer permission to vote !!! and respectable tradesmen, who have shut up their shops, and left their commerce and their families, to hear the speeches at the Palais Royal. I heard one speech, which was as follows :—" My Brothers I French , men ! the deplorable Ministry has done its worst, but will you submit to be slaves ? Hear what the National says to you.—' Ce qu'il reste a faire a la France, c'est de refuser I'impot. La Chambre aujourd'hui brisee a fait son devoir ; les electeurs ont rempli le leur ; la preen, qui, desormais, ne pourra plus servir ouvertement la cause de la liberte, a fait aussi tout ce que l'on devait attendre d'elle : c'est aux contribuables maintenant a Bawer la cause des lois. L'avenir est reunis a l'energie individuelle des citoyens.' Will you not second the press ? I know you will. Let us unite together against our oppressors," &c. &c. &c. The orator was mounted on a chair, and his address was received with shouts of " Oui ! oui ! " " Yes ! yes ! we will unite ! " Tuesday, One o'Clock.—The Palais Royal is to be cleared. There are to he no Clubs allowed. The Pre fect has issued an Ordonnance against all illegal and un authorised Journals. The people have attacked the po lice in the Gardens. The hotel of Prince Polignac is surrounded by soldiers The gendarmes are galloping all over Paris. People are rushing to the Bourse to learn the opening price of the Rentes. I will go there too. Tuesday, Two o'clock.—The Bourse is full. Three per Cents. have opened at 73 francs. This day twelve months they were at 84, and this day week they were at 79k. They fell just now to 711, and at this moment (half-past two) are at 72. A Deputation of Ex-deputies has gone down to St. Cloud to request an audience of his Majesty ; but it is said the King has gone to Compeigne, and the Deputation will therefore be unsuccessful. Tuesday, Three o'Cloch.—A deputation of Peers has gone down to St. Cloud, and report says it has been re ceived by the King. The mob had attacked the police and military, who have been obliged to defend themselves. The greatest agitation everywhere prevails, and the funds are at 72 francs. Tuesday, Four o'Clock.—The Bourse (or Royal Ex change of Paris) is to be closed for some days. An elector has just told me that the electors will meet to-night at Montmartre, to petition the King to retrace his steps. This will be an useless proceeding. The funds have closed as follows :-5 per Cents. 100 f. 3 per Cents. 72f. The Palais Royal is closed. Tuesday, Half-past Four.—Rumours are abroad of prevotal courts, of riots, &c. but all persons unite in stating that the King will not give way ! ! Indeed ! ! ! A gendarme has been shot in the Place Vendome. Prince Polignac has been attacked. The intelligence which we have given this day from Paris describes a state of circumstances there, which, we fear, placer beyond doubt that the horrors of revo lution still are not terminated. in fact, we may say that a revolution has taken place ; and the question only is, whether the next news will be that of counter revolution. The revolution has, in this instance, begun on the part of the Government. Will it terminate on the part of the people ? We observe that conjecture on the results is avoided by our contemporaries; for conjectures are often miscon strued into prediction, and prediction in politics, it is well known, is hazardous ; for false prophets can sel dom re-edify a lost confidence. There are, indeed, some great masters in the art of political prediction, who possess a polypus kind of vitality, which overco at . all difficulties ; and they, some how or other, contrive to keep alive their character for sagacity, in spite of events knocking down their predictions, as fast as they start into existence. We do not assume to be so fa voured ; but cannot say we are inclined to be so timid, of any little repute for sagacity, which our vanity may prompt us to think we possess, as to hesitate about always stating those conjectures which, from time to time, occur to us on public events. We are sure our Reader—if lie be not a very extraordinary specimen of humanity—always thinks himself wiser than we are ; and therefore lie can not be misled : and if u•e afford him a little matter to work upon, with his own sagacity, we are only, we think, performing our duty. If we are to give our opinion, as to the chance of an immediate successful re-action on the part of the French people, we should say that we deem it improbable:, unless there be defection in the military, or want of judgment in their employment. There never was, we believe, an instance yet of a people successfully over turning the power of a tyranny, which is alive to its situ ation, and in possession of a national purse and a national army. As for successful resistance under such circum- I stances, by the Parisian people, we deem it very impro • bable. Can we forget that, fot months together, La cha retie past along the Rue St. Honori, conveying all that was truly respectable in France, for talent, literature, pa triotism, and personal worth—all that was just and popular—to the scaffold ?—and yet no efficient resistance was ever made, until fortuitous events produced the dis union of the horrid executive. Fear, and self-interest, in such times, prevent all successful combination. Com bination of the most sagaciously organized description, can alone prove successful ; and combination, without cash, arms, and circumstances, is an illusion—it wants cement, and cohesion is impossible. The French army, however, we are told, is different from every other army in Europe. We are well aware that it once was an army sui gencris, and may be, in some degree, so still. The French commonalty is a far different one from ours; but barring the national dif ferences, and the progress of information on popular rights, we see no reason to believe that the French army is now much different in composition, from what it was previous to the revolution. A successful defection in the troops, however, is the only probable chance of a speedy counter-revolution. We believe that the present pro ceedings of the Government are such as to cause a very general adverse feeling in France ; but the early popular explosion of the revolution had deeper seated fires to pro duce them, than any that exist at present. While writing these remarks, we receive intelligence, by an Express from Paris, dated late on Wednesday evening, which, if true, would give a solution to the questions we have been making the subject of conjecture. It states that " three regiments of the line have joined the people, and that the National Guards have been culled out." This undoubtedly may be true ; for in such times, and of such a people, it is not really pos sible to foresee what may happen. We shall carefully give our readers all the intelligence as it is received. If, however, we have some difficulty in crediting that the unarmed people of Paris can accomplish an early counter-revolution, we can have no doubt but that ulti mately the cause of the people must prevail ; and if, as our latest on dit says, the KING and Government have already fled from Paris, the event will do more to establish the sovereignty of the People, in opposition to the right divine of Kings, than any event that History has ever had to record. We receive the news with some hesitation. We have advice. from Madrid to the 17th ult. They are not without importance. A discovery had been made there, of a society, among which was a favourite of the KING, and one of his Ministers, who had been selling both civil and military offices, and employments, and li censes, to introduce into the kingdom prohibited articles. The scarcity of water, from which the people had suffered so much, during the preceding month, still continued.— Thousands of people were gathered round the public fountains, waiting their turns to obtain a few pints of water. Some women have been even obliged to remain thirty hours before they could get their pitchers filled. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The affairs at Paris have at length taken a serious turn ; and by the express it appears that the soldiers have commenced firing on the people. This is all we know at present, with the exception that the cannon have prevailed. The account of the killed and wounded we are not informed of as yet. It also appears that Paris w•as in a state of siege ; therefore the private letters are scarce from that capital. The greatest anxiety is ex pressed for further accounts from that quarter. We have no other accounts this morning worth men , tioning. Consols opened at 9011 for the account ; at present they are 901/ ; for money 901, with little doing. In the foreign markel 'tis settling day, consequently they are busy settling their accounts. CITY, HALF-PAST ONE. The events in the French Capital succeed each other with rapidity, and the most important one we have re ceivad this morning, which will now place the Bourbons in a very awkward predicament—is, that three regiments have deserted the King, which is a proof that he cannot put confidence in his troops ; and the private accounts from Paris add, that the King must give way to the people. We also understand that all bargains in the funds at Paris, within a fortnight, have been made null and void, owing to some of the speculators having been made acquainted with the late severe measures of the government. We have a report that the King has left Paris, and that the house of the Prince Polignac has been pulled down ; but this is only report. Consols, which were in the early part of the morning at 90(1 for the Account, have receded to 901 on the M. formation of defection of the King of France's troops. The settling of the Foreign Accounts is going off well ; little or nothing doing in the Foreign Securities ; th e Share Market is stagnant ; South Metropolitan Gas 2 11 premium. COURT INTELLIGENCE.

Most of the members of the Royal Family wore pre sent at the party given by the Duke of Sussex, at his re 6idence at Kensington, on Wednesday evening. Then , was also a very numerous party of the nobility and gentry The concert, which was in the long gallery, com menced at a quarter past ten o'clock, and concluded ahem half-past twelve o'clock.

At the con elusion the Duke of Sussex stated, that their Majestic; and the noble company had been much gratified by die performance, and his Royal Highness expressed his in tention of patronizing English talent. The King of Wurtemberg, attended by Lord Clinton and Colonel Fitzclarence, left Grillon's Hotel at half past seven o'clock on Wednesday evening, in one of his ,Majesty's carriages, and proceeded to the Tower, where the King went on board the Lightning steam - pac ket, on his return to Boulogne. The King and Queen, accompanied by the Princes-4 Augusta, and attended by Baron Baumback, left the King's Palace, St. James's, in a carriage and four, about ten o'clock yesterday morning, for the Queen's Lodge, in Bushy Park. Sir Andrew Barnard, Gen. Stevenson, and Col. Fitzclarence, followed in a second carriage. His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester arrived at Cheltenham on Wednesday night, at 11 o'clock, and was welcomed with the ringing of bells, and other de monstrations of rejoicing. The heat of the last five days is greater titan has been experienced in England for some years. In many rooms not exposed to the sun, the thermometer has stood at 78 during both day and night. A Cabinet Council was held at half past three o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the Foreign Office, which was attended by the Duke of Wellington, Earls Bathurst, Rosslyn, and Aberdeen ; Viscount Melville, Lord Ellen borough, Sir R. Peel, Sir G. Murray, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. Herries. The Lord Chancellor joined his colleagues about an hour after they had as sembled. The Spanish Minister had an interview with the Earl of Aberdeen yesterday, at the Foreign-office. The Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury left town yesterday for Hatfield House, Hort.% where a select party of the Nobility were invited to dinner. CITY ELECTION, Tills DAY.—Sir P. Laurie de clined to a cause a contest ; and the former Members were nominated and re-elected amidst the loudest applause. SOUTHWARK FLECTION, JULY 30.—1 n conse quence of a third candidate starting, a gentleman of the name of Harris, an extensive and opulent hat-manufac turer, this Borough is likely to be sharply contested. This gentleman has expressed his determination to continue the poll to the last minute. Mr. Harris starts on independent principles—attached to no party. About ten o'clock Sir R. Wilson appeared on the hustings, in plain clothes, and was received with loud applause. The two other candidates soon after arrived, and were cheered by their respective friends. The business of the day then commenced. The Russian and Austrian Ambassadors had, on Wed nesday, and again yesterday, interviews with the Earl of Aberdeen. They continued on each day in deliberation with his Lordship for an unusually long period. The recent events in France are supposed to be the subject under consideration. It was spoken of yesterday, at the United Service and other Clubs, that Lord Cochrane would be immediately reinstated in his rank in the Royal Navy. His Lord ship, we believe, is at present residing with his lady, at a country house, which he has recently purchased, a short distance from Florence. A Masonic Order has just been directed to the Craft, by command of the M. W. Grand Master, his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, that all Lodges are to be put into mourning until the end of the year, by the col lars of the Officers being covered with black crape, and every member wearing black gloves, with three black rosettes upon his apron. The Address of Thanks to his Majesty for command ing the restoration of the intended opening between Re gent-street and St. James's-park, presented at the Levee on Wednesday, was signed by abnost every inhabitantof the street. The addressers request that the entrance may be called " King William the Fourth's Gate;" and they further intend to apply for leave to erect a bronze statue of his Majesty on the spot, in gratitude for his Majesty's spontaneous act of kindness on the above occasion. In addition to M. Malibran, Mrs. W. Knyvett, Miss M. Caw•se, Mr. Braham, Signor de Begnis, Mr.W. Kny vett, Mr. E. Taylor are engaged for the Worcester mu sical festival. The Cabinet Ministers and a party of noblemen and gentlemen went on Saturday to the annual white-bait dinner at Greenwich. The company embarked at White hall stairs, where two barges belonging to the Admiralty, and shallops belonging to the Ordnance and Treasury, were stationed, in which the company were conveyed to Greenwich. The following is an Abstract of the House if Commons elected in 1826, and dissolved in 1830. Of the 656 Members returned at the General Election, 1826, 21 have died ; 1 has become Lord Chancellor ; 10 have become Peers (4 by inheritance, and 6 by creation) ; 3 have been elevated to the Judicial Bench ; 37 vacated ; 1 became bankrupt ; and 583 remained Members at the dissolution. Of 77 Members returned since the General Election, 1 has died; 3 have vacated ; and 73 remained Members. SUPIRANNUATION.—According to a Return, just printed, of superannuation allowances granted in the pub lic departments only, since 1822, &c. it appears that there now remains annually payable 202,6091. 15s. 1 Oid. (three farthings !) or a good stride towards a quarter of a million for superannuation on account of public offices alone ! There is said to have been as much liquids consumed by the thirsty souls who attended the review on Monday, as would have floated a moderate sized gun-brig. As Mr. Nelson, the water-bailiff, was proceeding to wards Gravesend on Wednesday, in a small boat, which was towed by one of the Gravesend steamers, a smack ran foul of the small boat, and upset her. Mr. Nelson re mained on the surface of the water, with his face downwards, and was quite insensible when picked up. He was soon restored. 900 5,250 5,230 II
