IMPORTANT NEWS BT THE PACKET JUST ARRIVED FROM DIEPPE. FROM 'nu. BRIGHTON HERALD, This Morning, July 31. The King of France hasfled—A Battle has taken place—The King's troops have been driven out of Paris—The National Guard, commandtd by La Fayette, is in possession of the City—The Chambers have declared the Throne vacant! ! ! Such is the astounding intelligence which has this moment reached us. On Tuesday afternoon, it was well understood throughout Paris that a ge neral meeting of the Oppositionists would take place in the Bourse, and that La Fayette, at the head of the late National Guard (whom the Government had suppressed) would protect their deliberations. The meeting took place : it represented all the property and influence of the city. We do not know the precise nature of the resolutions they entered into ; but the effect of their meeting was, the assembling, on that evening, of the two Chambers, who unanimously voted a Remonstrance to the King, and sent a Deputation to present it to his Majesty, at St. Cloud. On the arrival of the Deputation at that Palace, they discovered that the King had fled. They returned to Paris, and reported the circumstance to the Chambers, who thereupon declared that CharlestheTenth had forfeited the Throne. And, at the moment when the gentleman from whom we derive this information left Paris, they were deliberatiag upon the form of Government which it would be expedient to adopt.—While these meetings were being held, the most sanguinary combats took place in the streets of Paris, between the King's troops on the one hand, and the people, aided by the Na tional Guard, on the other. The pavements of the streets were taken up, and carried to the tops of the houses, and hurled down upon the heads of the soldiers.— An English Gentleman (whose name our informant could not learn) on looking out of a window of a house near Meurice's hotel, in the Rue St. Honore', was shot (lead by the military ! A party of the Na tional Guard got possession of the Tuilleries, after a despe rate conflict between them and the King's Swiss Guard, in which 50 of the latter were killed. Upwards of a thousand lives, it is supposed, were sacrificed in this desperate struggle between the King's forces and the inhabitants. A regiment of Lancers suffered dreadfully. The result was that the troops were driven out of the city, and on Tuesday night Paris was under the protection of the National Guard, commanded by La Fayette. The army had, however, taken up a position so as completely to cut off all communications with Paris. And as fresh soldiers were hourly coming up,—should their spirit be adverse to the Constitutional cause,—more blood must be spilt be fore Absolutism is subdued. The King was supposed to have gone to Brussels.We could not learn what was become of his Ministers. A t Rouen, on Thursday, the Editor of the liberal journal,who determined to resist the late ordinances, shut up his house, and refused to admit the gene-d'armes, who had been ordered by the authorities to seize his presses, &c. Three blacksmiths, who had been sent for, would not break open the door at the command of the Commissary of Police. The military were drawn up in the street near his house to prevent the publication of his journal. The National Guard had taken up arms and remained on the other side of the street, watching the movements of the soldiers—neither party, however, had resorted to extremities when our informant left. This fact shows that the feeling which pervades the metropo hs, has extended to the provinces. We had forgot to mention that the National Guard armed themselves by breaking open the arsenal. Our informant was in the last vehicle which was allowed to leave Paris on Tuesday night. " MANIFESTO TO THE FRENCH-TO ALL PEOPLE AND TO ALL GOVERNMENTS. " A solemn Act had, in 1816, laid the basis of a reconciliation between the French nation and the ancient dynasty, and fixed the conditions by which the chief of the Bourbon family should resume and preserve the exercise of the royal authority reiterated oaths have at different epochs rendered more imperious the obligations contracted by the chiefs of this family, and had made their Charter the sole title to the obedience of the French. All these oaths have been violated during the last sixteen years, by the establish. meat of a great number of laws, opposed in their spirit and letter to the spirit of the Constitutional Charter ; but each of the attempts hitherto made against this fundamental law had an appearance of legality, and had not exceeded legislative forms, which, while they had been preserved, offered the means of reparation.— The French nation, with an equanimity which has often been called indifference or weakness, has supported itself against all the inroads of power, all the attacks against its rights, which, made by the different Administrations which had succeeded each other under the reign of the astute Louis XVII I.— as under that of his successor. The national patience, instead of bringing back the Government to the sentiments of justice, of con. fidence, of benevolence, had, on the contrary. inspired it with sufficient audacity to march more openly to the overthrow of our institutions—to the spoliation of all our rights--to the re.establish ment of those principles of Divine right—of those Royal Pre rogatives which are in opposition to the interests and the pre rogatives of the people, which cannot be regarded otherwise than as an outrage to human reason, and which England first stigmatised with her anathemas, and destroyed by her arms. The Ordonnances of the 25th of the present month, in abo lishing the principal guarantees consecrated by the Constitutional Charter, have set at nought the positive terms of that Charter. and of well-considered laws, adopted by the two Chambers, and sanc tioned by the King according to legal forms, and have at length taught the nation that the Chief which she had deigned to ac. knowledge, notwithstanding four years of vices, of corruptions, and of treasons against his country, wished to govern it by his own will, and according to the caprices of his own good plea. sure. By these Ordonnances the Chief of the Government has pieced himself atore the Law; THEREFORE HE HAS PVT HIMSELF OUT OF THE PALE OF THE LAW. In consequence, Charles Philip Capet, formerly Count of Ar tois, has ceased of right to be King of France ; the French ate re leased from all their obligations to him in that character. All the Ordonnances which he may promulge, will be like those of the 25th, cull, and as if they never had been given. The Alinisters composing the government of the Ex-King, named Pol ignac, Pry 'outlet, klonthel, dilansser, De Chantelause, and Overturn Renville, ate declared at. tainted and convicted of high treason. It is the duty of all Frenchmen to resist, by every means in their power, the orders of Chalks Phillip Capet, or his agents, under whatever denomination they may present themselves—to refuse payment of all imposts, and to take arms, if it should be necessary to put an end to a government de facto, and to establish a new government dc jure. • The army is released from its oaths of fidelity to the Ex-King --its country invokes its concurrence. Charles Phillip Capel--his self.styled 31inisters or Counsellors, their abettors and adherents, the Generals, the Chiefs of Regiments and Officers, are responsible for every effusion of blood resulting from the resistance of the Go vtvliment defucto to the national will. " Louis Phillip of Orleans, Duke of Orleans, is called upon to fulfil, under the present circumstances, the duties which are imposed upon him, and to concur with his fellow-citizens In the re-establish !Tient of a Constitutional Government ; and on his refusal to do so, he must, with his fvmily , quit the French territory until the perfect onsolidation of the new Government has been effected. Voted in Session at Paris, 27th day of July, IMO. (Signed) e. S. Provisional President. " G. De M. I . Provisional "J. du. D. Secretaries." SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS. Totes.—We are carried back to the beginning of the French Revolution again I Every thing that is fearful is portended, and much, very much, that is foolish in council, and violent in action, has been performed, and, we fear, is performing. We can predict I no issue to this affair. The beginning of it resembles, as we have intimated above, the beginning of those cruel disturbances in' France by which all Europe was afterwards desolated. But let us not deceive ourselves—the parallel may not continue long. If, as the wise man says, there be "so new thing under the sun," it is equally true that there are no two things perfectly alike. Much as we are inclined, therefore, to despond, we would not recommend it to our readers to conclude of a certainty, that because the last troubles in France occasioned the overthrow of settled Europe. the present must do the same. We have had a lesson as well as our neighbours. which may be useful to both of us, notwithstanding the apophthegm of Lord Bacon. that man gains experience in his individual capacity, —nations, in their collective character, never. But in nothing does the present crisis more resemble the beginning of the last French re volution, than in the circulation of false reports, the conjuring up of extravagant rumours, and the diffusion of unfounded news. We caution the public, therefom, to receive with caution what we lay before them, collected from various sources, as the description of the' events which have taken place. The truth is, no doubt, bad enough, but there is no means of measuring the capacity of invention, when all are in a state of excitement. One idea must occur to every mind,—that this lamentable result has been occasioned without any necessity for it. A contest has been compulsorily brought about between the Crown and the people ; and every body looks at his neighbour and asks—" Why?" Timis.—We have received the copy of a paper which purports to be the result of the deliberation of the French Deputies om Tues day, and which is statsxl to have been extensively circulated in Paris on that and the following day, but which is, moat probably, a fabri cation. It is remarkable that such a document, if genuine, should be signed only by initials. This is a circumstance from which might be inferred a certain dedree of timidity In the persons who have, ac cording to the French, taken the phrase • initiative' in the transactions of the present extraordinary crisis. The contents, however, cornmpond with the city reports of the events in Paris on iVednesda),which are said to have led to the deposition of the King. and the Regency of the Duke of Orleans. The coincidences of the departure of the Bourbons, and of Buonaporte's abdication, will be striking, if it turn out to he true, twat Charles X. like the fallen Emperor, retired to Fontainbleau, and that to :Bannon( the defence of Paris has been now, as it was then, intrusted. It is right to add,' that this manifesto has sonic marks about it which make us greatly doubt its authenticity, and that it has not been sent to us by one of our usual correspondents. CHRONICI.E.—We have had an interview with a most intelli gent gentleman, who left Paris on Wednesday evening. The ac counts he brought are the latest which have reached this country.— On Wednesday, about one o'clock, the tumultuous assemblages had greatly increased, when there were repeated discharges of musketry. The populace were every where collected in dense masses, but more especially in the Rue St. Honore and the market places. The Place Louis Quints was crowded with persons in the strongest state of excitement, calling out, with deafening shouts—" A bas lei Bourbons !"—" A bag les Despoles !" &c. By the various dis charges, it was said that fire or six hundred individuals had been killed. At the Boulevards the people cut down the trees, and tore up the chaussers. One unfortunate Englishman, who was looking out of the window of Lawson's Hotel, was shot. Every shop with the insignia of the Royal Family, was at. tacked—the offiehes were torn down, and the shops were li. terally battered to pieces. The Tuileries were closed, and large bodies of military were stationed all round. The current report, when our informant left Paris, was, that M. Cassimer Denier had issued a Proclamation, stating, that obedience was no lo nger due to the Government, hich was to be considered as at an end. We suppose the Proclamation alluded to by our informant, is the Manifesto with which we shall conclude this article, and which will appear in the RepresenMat des Prupks, to be published this day, with slips of which we were furnished by a friend. who assured us, that the individuals whose initials are subscribed to it are of the first respectability in Paris. The National Guard had assembled in great force, and it was understood that M. Layfitte. or General Lamarque was to be at the head of it. The massacre of the people happened when they were breaking into every place where there were arms to seize them. None of the mails were allowed to quit Paris, and it took about four hundred men to succeed in getting the mail to this country out of the capital. This could not have been effected but fora regiment, which had gone over to the people, having taken charge of it. All the Bureaux were closed, and no were given. The English, who were all eager t o qu i t passports taking their departure without passports. All the English were stopped by the populace and made to call out, ' " Vine la Cherie.' The people tore off the lairs de lis from the dresses of the postillions. What added considerably to the con. sternatlon of the English was the circumstance of Lady Stuart de Rothsay having left Paris. It was confidently reported and believed that the Prefect of Rouen had been hanged. Indeed in every quarter the indignation was strong against the Government, and what added to the excitement was the complete destitution of all men in office who had not, during the recent election, exerted them. selves in procuring votes. As much will depend on the feeling of the army, our informant says that the Gerdes du Corps and theSwi NI arc supposed to be staunch to the Government ; but theregiments of the line were on the side of the people to a man. Be assures us that on this most important point there is not the least doubt entertained that all the regiments of the line are with the people. The defection is complete. An officer on duty was desired to fire by one of the Garda du Corps. The answer was Nn ;—I will never fire on my countrymen. It was reported in Paris, that individuals of the Gerdes du Corps, found separate from the body, had been dragged from their horses and massacred. The report was, that great da mage had beenldone to the Louvre. It was said that cannon were posted on both sides of the Seine, and strong detachments of ca valry were marching from all the neighbouring country on Paris. Hand-bills were distributed every ten minutes or so among the crowds, containing the most vehement phillippies against the King and Ministers, summoning every man to arm for his country, and to aid in ejecting the Bourbons. The Pith& Royal was:the scene of all sorts of devastations. The Duke of Orleans, ' from his having the misfortune to be a Bourbon, is a great sufferer for the sins of his relations. Our informant assures us, that no ex ception is made—that the race is devoted. Parra, be says, exhibits a most extraordinary appearance at this time. The state of excite. mot cannot be described. Great indignation was felt at the mean. nee of the King in skulking at such a time. Some said be was concealed in Paris, others that he had gone to Compeign. It was considered by the Parisians that the Government had intended the destruction of the Capital. The Garde., du Corps, our informant said, did not by any means appear elated ; they scented to be filled with any thing rather than anticipations of a successful issue. No Frenchman had the least doubt of the issue. The people were pouring into Paris from all the places of the neighbourhood, with such arms as they could find, breathing vengeance against the Bourbons. 11ENALD —There an two points connected with Parliamentary Reform which appear to be very mistakenly blended—we mean the influence which Peers posses. in returning Members of the House of Commons, and the fac of junior members of Noble families being ' Members of that !louse. These two points, some of the declaimers' upon the subject of Parliamentary Reform would have us believe constitute one and the same description of evil. A little calm re. flection will, however, show not only that such is not the case, but that the :latter, so far from being an evil, has been at all times a practical benefit. The undeniable fact that so large a portion of what are called the Representatives of the people are the mere no minees of the Aristocracy is an anomaly in the Constitution which, though Mr. Canning said, had been found to " work well," no man, not wedded to the abuse either by interest or by obstinacy, can seriously profess to defend. We are not among those who would withhold from property its fair influence even in popular elections. When fairly used, it is, perhaps, the moat legitimate source from which the Representative principle can spring. Rut the fair influence of property, and the exercise of direct nomination, are very different things; and the latter is, if we mistake not, what the spirit of the age will not much longer consent to succumb to. Rut the introduction of the sons of the Nobility into Parliament is a very different matter. Abstractedly considered, we know not where the power can exist to deprive them of their rights as citizens, while, in practice, their introduction into Parliament has been found of great value ;—firia, as blending them with those numerous other ranks of which that assembly must necessarily be composed ; and, secondly, as training them to higher stations by the per k:mance of the duties (lam which they would otherwise be all their lives shut out and unacrainted. Need we do more than mention the names of Pitt and Fos, among the dead ;of Lord Grey and Lord Lansdowne, of the Marquis of Blaadeord and Lord John Russell, among the living, to show at once the futility of this objection, and of the talents of which the country would have been deprived if any such unjust and absurd principle of exclusion had existed up to this time ? No principle in political economy is more undeniable than this, that all ranks of ►eople in a free state should possess one common interest in its welfare : nor is any thing more calculated to set at nought this valuable principle than one of ex clusion, like that which we are alluding to. which sets out by in structing our young nobility that the, belong to a distinct race, having no common interest or duties with the rest of the community. It surely requires no great powers of reflection to be satisfied of its futility, its inipolicy, and injustice. It lENCE. We gave our renders a short sketch of Mr. BARON/lei tract on the '• Decline of Science in England," but have never yet accom plished what we int en d e d, w hi c h was to a ff or d a f art h er v i ew o f t he societies existing in this country for the promotion of the various branches of science; and of the scientific journals now existing; partly as the media of communicating the labour of such societies, and partly of communicating miscellaneous scientific information from the public generally. The termination of the month, and the quantity of new literary matter which we know that period intro duces, render us anxious to avail of this dny to redeem our pledge, if, even in a superficial and incomplete manner, by running over a kind of C'at'alogue liaisonstee of the exiting literary and scientific institutions of the metropolis, which we shall now therefore execute. 1. The Royal Society.—Of this we have a l ready treated at some length. 2. The Society of Antiquaries.—The objects and labours of this society, which was one of our earliest literary societies, ate well known. With much that is generally important, its transactions contain a mass of curious information, not perhaps equalled by the transactions of any other literary society in Europe. It has been liable to the ridicule of wits, but we peruse its transactions always with interest. At present we think, perhaps, its communications to the stock of public information, does not equal previous periods. 3. The Society of Arts.--Some have doubted, we think most improperly, the utility of this society.. We think it an institution highly creditable to th e countr y ; an d that it is hardly posAhle to contribute an annual two guineas more to th gratification of the subscriber. 4. The Royal Institution —This society " lives. breathes, and has its being;' as far as it is publicly known, through the labours of Mr. Faraday a n:an who appears formed, most felicitously by na ture, as a teacher of experimental science. The Fo Way evening meetings of this society, are, perhaps, better worth attending, by the lover of science, than the MOM stately meetings of another more ancient establishment. At these meetings, Mr. 'Wheatstones interesting discoveries on Phonics, have been made known to the public. 6. The London Institution.—This institution, with ample funds, a fine building, and one of the hest libraries of reference in the metropolis, never becomes of that importance which might, from these advantages, be expected. Its lectures are, however, in ' Spring, well attended, and well directed. It has lately imitated the Royal Institution, by having weekly conversati mi ; but, from the part of the town in which the establishment is situated, these meetings fail to become very attractive. In fact, as we have said, it is Mr. Faraday who gives interest to the similar meet ings of the Royal Institution. 6. Royal Society of Literature.—Very little of value has yet been brought forth by this society. Mr. Sharon Turner has contri buted to the transactions some papers of interest; but we conceive more fanciful than sound. We allude to his etymological papers. 7. Linnean Society.—This is, we believe, in fair repute ; but we doubt whether the loss of Sir Edward Smyth will be soon sup. plied to this branch of science. _ _ 8. The Royal Asiatic Society—is the counterpart of the Asiatic Society in Calcutta.—lts objects are important, but its contributions have not yet been important ; and, indeed, the parent society ap pears languid. 9 The Oriental Translation Society, is a more active and more useful establishment. Its labours are truly of value; and we are happy to observe the real and ability which it has been partly the means of developing:in Colonel:Furclarence. 10. The Horticultural Society—is, we believe, renovated. Its fetes champetres have ceased, from having always seen unsuccessful, as to weather ; but new arrangements might b: contrived to obvi ate the recurrence of disappointment, if desirable. 11. The Zoological Society—is a general favourite. Mr. Bab bage shrewdly hints, that its principal chance of ruin, is its having such a large revenue. 12. The Geographical Soeiety.—ls a new one, with most important objects; similar w the Geographical Society of Paris. 13. The Phrenological Society—is only interesting to the advo cates of their peculiar doctrines. 14. The Medico-Botanical Society—is a modern one, and, we hear, proceeding successfully. Its objects are rational. 15. Phe Geological Society.—No society, the objects of which are restricted to one branch of science , has displayed more ability in its members, or produced more curious contributions to knowledge, than this society, which, we believe, is thriving. IS. The Astronomical Society.—This is a society which will add to the celebrity of Britain. It is very new, but thriving. We have now sketched the principal scientific societies ; and, when we reflect that to all these we may add two mettopolitan uni versities, we hardly think it can be correctly said, that science and literature is declintng in this country. We may mention that there are about twelve periodical journals, devoted to science, now in course of publication in Great Britain. THE KING AND THE ROYAL ACADEMY. His Majesty has, we understand, commanded the President of the Royal Academy to inform him, after due consideration, " How the Fine Arts may be most effectually promoted." To this end, Sir Martin has called a Council—the Council of du Royal Aca demy—to advise ! Rare councillors these on such a subject ! but Kings, in all matters, are proverbially happy in their advisers; and if his Alajesty acts on the suggestions of those who are truly represented as "revelling in a lucrative monopoly," which they preserve by every conceivable illiberal artifice, to the sup pression of art in its noblest form, and against aU artists of any independence of character, he will rivet the chains which it is clearly his gracious intention to break. Seek the advice of the forty R.A.'s in council ! As reasonably might the removal of the Bank and East India Company's Charters be determined by the advice of their respective Directors. We have over and over again pointed out and enlarged on the manifold abuses of this body, so inimical to the promotion of art, and so humiliating to the spirit of its professors. The cause has since been taken up by several others. The Times has judiciously recommended the erection of a new Gallery, on a different con struction ; than the present none can be much worse. "In shape it should resemble the Louvre. lighted, however, not laterally, but by a continuous skylight; and th e first law of the establishment should enact that no picture should be hung so far either above or below the eye, as to prevent its being commodiously seen." The receipts of the Academy, which tt stales as 5,11001. or 6.00C1. but which have been as high as 7,0001. or 8,0001. and might, in a new form and under a more liberal direction, amount to much more, it proposes to appropriate in part, during a given number of years, to defray the expense of the building. This is well as it regards the shell, but vain and fruitless if the nut is to remain rotten, as it is at present. That "secret and despotic authority" which exhibits itself without risk in the gratification of " personal I pique, professional or insolent caprice, and persecuting malignity," must be reformed, or the greater means will only serve to increase I the power to do mischief. A body of men whose minds and pur. suits are, with rare exceptions, wholly mechanical, who have little education, and, with the most ludicrous affectation of dignity, in-' relints of the narrowest description. and whose loved and chosen at. moephere is "envy, hatred, and malice," should be governed with' an iron rod, not trusted to the fret- action of their own wills, but have metes and bounds prescribed and enforced. As it has been said of the Scotch—" they make very good soles, but cursed bad upper ha. thers." Serving under a strict responsibility, touching both cash and conduct, things may prosper ; but ruling as they have dune, and will surely advise his Majesty to let them continue to do, there is no hope for the promotion of any thing but corruption, and sign-pos t portrait paintings. Another tontcreporatry has observed that, " If the system of inquisitorial despotism, of contemptible intrigue, and unprincipled monopoly, with all the other enormous abuses by which the Royal Academy is at present characterised. were fully d. veloptd and Laid before his Majesty, we suspect that the next Royal message to that Institution would be one of disfranchisement. Every real friend to the art, would rejoice at seeing these arrogant jack-dawn stripped of their ereporative importance, and sent, un plumed, about their business." Nothing but the manners which is inseparable from ignorance and the absence of every honnurahle anti gentlemanly feeling, could induce men to avail themselves of slice an exercise of their privileges as the Members of the Royal Academy indulge in. They, forsooth, as we have before noted amongst their other disgraces, al. low themselves erclusirely to paint on their own pictures three days previous to the opening of the Exhibitinn, taking thereby every un fair advantage of their fellows, and often mote meritorious rivals in the race. Front this and other dirty privileges, and still dirtier acre that arise out of then', many aspirants of splendid talents in the Arts, but no proficient'. in the foul and disgraceful one, are suffererers ; many, as the genius is sensitive, broken-hearred. As things now stand all th e b t u places, those within the range of the eye, are taken as a matter of right, by the weathers of the Academy; and as " the talent of an artist has little or nothing to do with his elec. lion into the Academy," though degrading servility has much°, so has the merit of his picture nu weight in its position there. An R A. or A.S.S. may have become the merest twaddler, and paint the vilest thing, but being an R.A. or an A.S.S. he must have the The members ought at this hour of the day to be increased in number—in quality, too, as well ay. quantity—which, we think, might easily be effected; but, at any rate, there ate plenty out that are at learn. on a par with the in, and as " many little. make a mickle," the aggreate body would then acquire minethtng like a ie. spec-table weight.

WESTMINSTER ELECTION, Saturday, July 31. —Th.- eleetiOn for two Members to serve in the ensuing Parham.. It took place this afternoon, at twelve o'clock. The High Rail tr. Sir Francis Burdett, John Cam Hobhuuse. E-11. aceintipa:.:A by the usual authorities, entered the Hustings. The hissing a%d hooting on the arrival of Sir FRANCIS and Mr. HollHousE, exceed belief. The High Bailiff then went through the regular forms, which could not be heard, in consequence of the uproar. Sir Fitawcra BuItDET was then put in nomination as a fit and prop:; person to represen t this City, which was receiv e d w i t h hi sses an d applause. urirlg this time, several pieces of cabbages and turnips were thrown upon the li ustings.The friends of Sir FRANCIS rallied, but all in vain. The public voice was against him--such treatment he never experienced before. After the tumult in some degree had sub sided, Sir F. Burdett endeavoured to obtain a hearing—'twas vain. the noise icereased. He however proceeded, and said that he had been endeavouring, during his political life, to benefit his country. men. (No gammon, Sir Francis, from the crowd.) I have en. deavoured to do justice to the Crown and people. (No such thing. Sir Francis.)
