SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS. HERALD.—At a late hour laitilight we received, by our Extra ordinary Express from Paris, the ,Moniiene, bearing the date of the 29th and :10th July, the Temps, Journal drs &fiats, and France Nouvelle of the 29th, with the Messa ier des Chumbres (evening edition) of the 30th. Their contents arc of the very high. eat importance, and supersede the necessity, or, more correctly speaking, relieve us from the irksome task, of republishing the various versions on the affairs of that capital that have appeared since our Lest—some of them evidently fabricated for stock-jobbing purposes, others loosely collected, and all of them bearing the stamp of exaggeration. It will be seen, in the first place, that a Provisional Government has been organised, consisting of eight members, all of them holding a very high, if not the very highest place, is the estimation of their countrymen, for civil or military sirtues--gome of them for both, as General Gerard and Count las bau (General I)rouet) The 3loniteur, in conformity to the rule it has followed for the last forty years—that of belonging to the stronger party—is become the organ of the Provisional Government; and we particularly notice this fact, because it speaks volumes to those who are acquainted with the march of French affairs. Before I the decisive step of appointing a Provisional Government took place, various incidents of the deepest, most agitating, and, we may add, unparalleled interest, had taken place. The population of the ca pital had risen to a man, animated by a heroic zeal which, if ever equalled, was never surpassed. On :Monday, Tuesday, and Wed. nesday, it was a scene of carnage, sometimes the armed people pre vailing, sometimes the King's troops; hut on the last of these days the former were masters of the city, having been previously joined by several regiments of the line, and having compelled the Swiss Guard that defended the Tuileries and Louvre to surrender. In the mean time, the deputies who had arrived in Paris assembled, and issued a declatation, with all their names affixed to this solemn docu ment. Also a deputation, with M. Lafitte, brother-in-law of Mar. mont, at their head, had a conference wish the Marshal, who is Ge. neralissimo of the King's troops, near one of the barriers; and this conference, which will be found amongst our extracts, show the great moderation by which the leaders of the popular party were still animated. They proposed only the repeal of the obnoxious ordinances, together with the dismissal of the obnoxious ministers; and will it be believed, that they were not only rejected, but con tumeliously rejected ? When :Stormont, who consented to become the bearer of these proposals, returned with the answer of the King, M. Lafitte exclaimed, " Then the civil war is begun ! " Front this moment all idea of compromise seems to have been abandoned by the popular party ; the tricoloured flag was hoisted on the uileries ; the ensigns of the King where every where pulled down or defaced ; whilst a new impulse was given to the popular enthu shorn. It is stated by the Messager des Chninbres that the crown has been offered to the Duke of Orleans ; and, if another on (lit of the same paper be correct, it is more than probable that the offer has not been refused ; as. according to the last on slit, the Duke of Chartres, his son, and one of the most popular young men in France, has gone over with his regiment to the Constitutional party. In the meantime, a letter, which accompanies the express, soya that the fighting was renewed on Friday with more obstinacy and car. nage titan had distinguished any former engagement of which that heroic city had been the theatre since the commencement of these troubles ; that the King's troops were at last repulsed at all points ; anti it significantly adds that, if:100,000 men were to renew the attack, they would be repulsed, such was the invincible courage of the inhabitants. We shall add only one remark to what we have stated, that, from the obstinate rejection of all terms of accommoda tion by the Kieg, we can only come to the conclusion, that his rea son has; totally deserted hint, or that he is acting tinder foreign influence ; and we cannot conclude without expressing a hope that our own Cabinet (if such influence prevail) is not mixed up with it, either directly or indirectly ; for we should say, wo to the English minister whose name should be found connected with so black an intrigue !—an intrigue, as dangerous to England in its remote, as to France in its hntnediate, results. Times.-- The state of France tip to the last departures may be summed up in a lea words. The tricoloured flag is flying on the Royal Palace of the Tuileries; the King's Guards have been beaten by the pop-lace of Paris, and driven beyond the precincts of the city; the National Guard is organized for the protection of the metropolis, and a Provisional Government is formed, consisting, among others, of Lafayette, Lafitte, Casimir Perrier, General Ge rard, and the Marquis de Choiscuil. Immense carnage has taken place, the King's troops having Ered grape-shot among the multi tude in the streets. The people, however, have succeeded in driving away their aggressors, and two teginients of the line have adopted the popular cause. For the moment a sullen tranquillity prevails : the storm, however, will doubtless burst forth again, and, most pro. bably;to the destruction of the King and his Ministers, whose incon ceivable madness has raised it : but,whatever may be the termination of this dreadful struggle now carrying on in France, andof which our paper of to-day can describe but a part of the frightful particulars, it is certain that Charles does not merit the sympathy even of sur rounding sovereigns. He has now been long enough resident in France, and ought to have known the feelings of his subjects, and consequently respected their rights. Ile has plunged the country into confusion and misery, which with prudence he might have ruled in peace. There never was a case in which civil wrong and political injustice were so soon followed by blows. The people usu ally suffer long; but in the present instance, they were ready to re pel the first clear aggression at the hazard of their lives ; and if not from principle and virtuous patriotism, yet from mere aversion to bloody strife, he should have abstained from provoking them. But an overweening pride, an insolence which misfortune cannot check, urged him on : and his Alinisters appear to us yet more criminal. Other Sovereigns would not mix their cause with that of the King of France : they would not take him for the representative of their rights. Rights ! as if a King could have any rights dif fering from those of an ordinary man, except for the benefit of the people! If we were to express our wish, we should say that we hoped the conflict would be soon terminated, and the offender dismissed for ever; but there are, from selfishness, many adherents to the trappings of a monarchy,—there may be, from prejudice also some new friends remaining to the family of the Bourbons, or some partisans to despotism in one person, from the dread of the opposite extreme, of the tyranny of the many, and a part of the military for pay. All these may, perhaps, prolong re sistance; but we cannot persuade ourselves that the cause of the people will not ultimately triumph. Would they may know how to use their liberty when they obtain it ! What a contrast does the conduct of our own gracious Sovereign exhibit to that of the King of France ! William IV. glories in being the chief of a free people : he expresses a cordial sympathy with their enthusiastic attachment to their rights, and avows at once that it is his pleasure and , his duty to co-operate in their preservation. Charles X. vio lates his oath of office, tramples on the Charter which it was his sacred duty to maintain, and justifies his breach of honour and of the laws by an appeal to the artillery and the sword he destroys the liberties, and then the lives of his subjects. We confess that till the actual facts displayed themselves before us, we, with, we trust, a pardonable incredulity, did not conceive it pos sible that any human beings could be guilty of such infatuated, such wanton, violations of the laws and constitution, as have been perpetrated by Charles and his Ministers. On e glance at the pre sent state of England might have convinced even the most obstinate folly how immense is the superiority of the patriot King over even the most powerful despot. One point admits no dispute ; sur. rounding Governments will take no part in the troubles of France, an it is clear they have taken none. No; the King of France may claim all the merit of the mischief to himself and his Ministers. Nu human creature out of France speaks of their conduct except in terms of indignation and aversion ; but other nations still cannot fail of being affected by the disorders of that country. Burke, in one of his tirades against the French revolution, had the insolence to say ; that France should be blotted out of the map of civilised Eu. tope. Heaven forbid ! It would be the greatest evil that could happen to Europe, if it were possible. But while France is even in an unsettled state, all other nations must suffer In their civil and commercial relations. All other nations, therefore, have a right to feel that Charles X. is their enemy. CHRONICLE. —The intelligence from France becomes every mo ment possessed of deeper interest. Much blood has been shed in the various engagements between the Patisians and the Royal forces, but the people have so far succeeded that they have driven their op ponents out of Paris, and are in possession of the barriers. The accounts of the extent of the carnage vary • but as there was almost continual fighting t h e greater part of Wednesday and all Thursday, many lives must have been lost. We have elsewhere given the ac counts of our Evening Contemporaries of Saturday and in the Sun. day Papers. The following extracts from The Hampshire Te. kgraph : bearing date this day, give some valuable information received on Saturday night at Portsmouth, by the Camilla steamer, from haves, Capt. Fortier, especially with regard to the state of things in the great towns of Rouen and Havre:—This evening (says the Telegraph) we got further information by the Camilla steamer, Capt. Fonder, from Havre, the passengers of whi c h re peat the following :_ The late Royal Ordonnancss had given rise to the most violent ebullition of popular feeling, and had been attended with a most lamentable sacrifice of life, from ten to twelve thousand persons having been killed in the various and unmeaning encounters which had taken place. The Hotel de le at Paris had been a scene of the most violent contentions, having beat taken and retaken six times, and was on Thursday night in possession of the Liberals. A Provisional Government had been formed, which, together with the National Guard, was headed and commanded by LA FAYITTE. Constant skirmishes were taking place, attended with considerable bloodshed. The Marshal Marniont had been killed. It was reportal that the Duke D'An. imuleme had been assassinated. The King had flied to Lisle, sad his Ministry were entirely dispersed.--The Tuileries remained in possession of the Royal Guards. The Royal Guards were ordered to proceed with the greatest promptitude from Honfloor to Paris. Considerable ferment had been exerted at Ham, and sane Wood spilt. The Naval Arsenal had been broken into, and the awns and ammunition seized by the populace. All was alarm, and the roost fearful consequences were apprehended. In addition to the above, we have received the Journal du Havre, from which the following are extracts : HsvaE, JULY 30 —The public carriages cannot leave the bar riers of Paris without extreme trouble, and encountering a thousand dangers. The ports are occupied by the National Guard. An ex traordinary courier arrived this night, with a letter, announcing that eight thot and men have perished in the different engagements, and that the gendarnies of Paris have been massacred. The Royal Guards have shut themselves up in the Tuileries and the Palais Royal. The peers are assembling to pro% ide for the safety of the state. Rouen is in the greatest agitation; but all the inhabitants' are united and strong. The National Guard, armed and provided with cartridges, arc drawn up in the place St. Owen, with the Colo nel at their head. To-day that city superabound with armed men. A deputation of two eminent citizens has proceeded to Paris, to offer ' succour to the immortal Parisian Guard, from the people of Rouen. ROUEN, Jinx 29.—At seven o'c'ock yesterday morning the tocsin was sounded in Paris. The people immediately went forth I badly armed, hearing pikes and atones. The National Guard also appeared. The people re paired to the Marche des Innocens, Rue St. Honore. The Gendarmes were put to flight, and four of them were hung. The National Guard was then headed by General Gerard, who led them towards the Place de Greve; they took po..session of the Hotel de Ville, from which Marmont, with the Royal Guard, obliged them to retire. The former, however, retook it after a sanguinary conflict. A person this moment arrived here speaks positively of a Provisional Govern ment having been established ; Casimir Perier and Lafayette are named. The Hospital des Invalides is taken by the people, and the barriers arc in their possession. Th e N at i ona l G uar d, in knots of 50 or 60, parade through the city. Engagements con tinually take place between it and the Royal Guard. The former occupies the Bank; the Swiss are intrenched in the Tuileries; the Royal Guards are ranged on the Boulevards. Two regi ments of the line are said to hare refused to fire on the people. It is not known in Paris where the King or his Ministers are. " The passage boat brought few passengers, u it was understood, that however anxious the English were to get away from Paris and the Departments, they could obtain no passports, and could not travel without." The accounts gleaned from the passengers from Havre must be I received w rh considerable allowance. According to them Maranont has been killed and the Duke d'Angouleme assassinated. Of course all sort of rumours must be in circulation, and these, probably, are mere rumours. The most valuable part of the above infmnuition is the account of the Nava: Arsenal, at Havre, having been broken into by the people, who seized the arms and ammunition, and the extract from the Journal des Havre, contairing a detailed statement , of what had taken place at la ouen. It would appear that the', inhabitants of that populous and influential city are well armed, I and that they have offered succour to the Parisian National I Guard. The organization in Rouen seems to be perfect.— Hitherto success seems to smile on the defenders of the laws. The French have conducted themselves on this occasion in a most heroic manner. Indeed no nation in Europe seems to pos sess in au equal degree with the French the readiness to perceive what the moment demands, and the spirit to give effect to their pus. poses. They appear in emergencies to be inspired by one soul, u it were. This promptitude in resolution and action dispose* them more, perhaps, for coups de main, than for the patient endurance of the English and Russians under discipline. Hence it has been observed, that the Frenchman is too apt to anticipate his orders. The French are, therefore, inferior to the English as regular sol diers. But, in a crisis like the present, promptitude is every thing. Nations possessed rather of passive than active courage,from the un wil lingness of individuals to take on themselves the responsibility of any thing hazardous, arcoften trampled on by handfuls of men. No man acts, because what is every one's:business is no one's business. The movement of the French, however, seems as if electrical. Had they been less prompt in their measures, and allowed the old tiger, as they call Charles the Tenth, to proceed a little further, who knows if the opportunity for resisting with effect might not have passed. But now the nation seems completely armed. The organization of the National Guard alone is of immense consequence. The unani mity of the French, and their promptitude, will in all probability decide the conduct of the neighbouring governments, If they were before wavering, with respect to making common cause with Charles. A nation in arms is not to be rashly interfered with. There is, na turally enough, a strong suspicion of the great monarchical govern mental, not only on account of the part acted by them during the Peninsular and Italian Revolutions, but from the difficulty in be lieving that the King would hazard so very revolutionary a measure as trampling on the Constitution and annulling the elective franchise, without a promise of support. We by no means give credit to the tithe of what is confidently repeated on this subject, though we fear it is but too true that there is something like an insurance of each other among the Kings of Europe, and few acts of Governments of any moment are to be considered as isolated. However, the cha racter of Charles the Tenth would lead him to act upon very slight epxectations of support. Those who knew him while he lived among us in this country, pronounce him a resolute determined man, who, having once made up his mind to a course, will not easily be driven from it. His intellectual powers are by no means of a high order, as may be inferred from his being a tool in the hands of the Priesthood (and in France a mere politician would not affect piety, for it is there a passport to contempt;) but he is brave even to recklessness; and as far as depends on him, we may count on no reluctance to pour out blood like water. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. Meeting of Ms Deputies—k ortnalitm of a Precisions, Govern ment— Cony erence lielwt en M. Lql ts and General Marmoni. We have just received by an extraordinary express from Paris, a Meniscus-, bearing the dates of the 29th and 30th of July, The Temps, the Journal des Dchats, the France Nourelle, of the 29th July, and the hlessayer des Chambres of the 30th of July. From the Moniteur. PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT. The Deputies present at Paris have found it necessary to u sonble to remedy the serious dangers which threatened the security of persons and property. A commission has been appointed to watch over the interests of all, in the entire absence of a regular organization. Messrs. Audry de Puiraveau, Comte Gerard, Jacques Laflitte, Comte de Lobau Mauguin dier, Casimir Pe tite, and De Schonen, compose this Commission. General La fayette is Commander-in-Chief of the National Guards. The National Ouards are masters of Paris at all points. (From the Journal des Deltaic) PROTEST OF THE DEPUTIES. The undersigned, regularly elected Deputies by the Colleges of Arrondissements, by virtue of the Royal Ordinance of the ----, and conformably to the Constitutional Charter, and to the laws rela tive to elections of the and who are now at Paris, " Con. eider themselves as absolutely obliged by their duties and their ho. nour to protest against the measures which the advisers of the Crown have lately caused to be proclaimed for the overthrow of the legal system of elections, and the ruin of the liberty of the press. The same measures contained in the ordinances of the - are, in the opinion of the undersigned, direct. ly contrary to the constitutional rights of the Chamber of Peers, to the public rights of the French, to the attributes and to the decrees of the tribunals, and calculated to throw the State into a confusion, which equally endangers the peace of the present moment and the security of the future. In consequence, the undersigned, inviolably faithful to their oath, protest in concert, not only against the said measures, but against all the sets which may result from them. And considering, on the one hand, that the Chamber of Deputies, not ha,. ing been constituted, could not be legally dissolved, on the other, that the attempt to form a new chamber of deputies in a novel and arbitrary manner, is directly opposed to the constitutional charter and to the acquired rights of the electors, the undersigned declare that they still consider themselves as legally elected the deputation by the Colleges of the arrondissements and departments whose suffrages they have obtained, and as incapable of being replaced except by virtue of elections made according to the principles and forms prescribed by the laws. And if the undersigned do not effectively exercise the rights nor perform all the duties which they derive from their legal election, it is because they are hindered by ab. solute violence. Many kputies are expected at Paris tomorrow or the day after. Among those who have already signed are MM. MM.

Duchaffaut For three days Paris has been fined upon with cannon and grape shot ! It was a taking by storm ; blood flowed in the streets. The file of the musketry was more terrible and more murderous than on the SOth March, 1814. At that time it was the Cossacks, the Russians, and the Austrians who fired ; to-day it is French sol dierse—it is those whom we pay who desolate Paris with fire and the sword. And who has ordered this massacres ? The Ministers of the King of France. It is they who have plunged the capital during three days into all the honors of war. And why great God ! all these terrible things ? Because they have vio lated the charter, and conspired to re-establish absolute pow er. They have proceeded from crime to massacre. They have been the irmulent violators of their oaths, before they ' were the sanguinary executioners of their fellow-citizens. Such, then, is the reward of fifteen years' obedience ! Such is the reward of fifteen milliards paid with the sweat and the sufferings of the people ! What an impudent derision of every thing that men re vere ! The imagination is confounded at the sight of so many crimes meditated, ordered, and executed. Our liberties falling under the stroke of illegal ordinances, our fellow-citizens under the fire of the cannon and the musketry, and exposed to the prey of all the violence. of military government. No more justice, no more laws, nor magistrates! Force against the laws, force against the citizens. And this brutal force, how has it been broken by the anger of the capital ? Our enemies have thrown themselves out of the pale of the laws. Let them remain there. We now can do what we will ; and what we have always desired : what we still de sire is the reign of the laws—what we desire is public tranquillity. After the glory of so noble a resistance, when our victory shall be, complete, we will hasten to return to order and to public peace,—to' that order which our enemies haveattempted to overthrow—to that peace which they have so cruelly stained with blood. We will show what a people is that did not desire a revolution—that takes arms against whoever dares to attempt one—that breaks the power of the attack, and, glorious and triumphant, rsurns to legal order through a thousand dangers heroically endured. The National Guard is re organized. Let every good citizen who has a musket join the standard. A municipal commission of Paris is formed. Let every good citizen who wishes for peace place himself under its authority. This commission has promised to save the people : it will keep its promise. The violators of our liberties and the executioners of Paris must be punished. The following are the measures which must be taken first of all :—The exemplary punishment of the ministers who signed the ordinances. They have sported with the lives of their fellow-citizens. Let them be delivered up to the justice of the Chamber of Peers. The punishment of the principal chiefs who have acted after their orders. The illegality inherent in the ordi nances vitiates all the orders given in coasequence. A declaration of right, which shall explain the 14th Article of the Charter, and take from Royalty the unlimited power which it thought it found there. A law which shall declare every officer guilty of a crime who shall fire upon the people, except in the cases provided for by the law. It has been reported during the last three days, that Baron Seguier, Peer of France, first President of the Royal Court of Paris, and M. de BeWyllie, President of the Tribunal of the first instance, had been &rusted and carried to Vincennes by order of the Minister'. We are happy to be able to state, that this crime has not been added to so many others. The Chamber of Deputies will assemble on the 3d August. The Peers now at Paris have now assembled to consider of what was to be done in the present state of things. We hope that the two Chambers will communicate by committees,as has often been done in England on ex traordinary occasions. This morning the Louvre and Tuileries, which were defended by the Swiss, were taken after a brisk and long sup. ported fire. This evening the Royal Guard which lett Paris at two o'clock, has retreated behind the barrier de l'Etoile. Its lines ex tend as far as Prissy. For these three days we have been witnesses of the greatest civil courage ever seen in Europe. Courage, energy, prudence, profound consciousness of its rights and its duties—all were united. Never did Paris—never did any capital offer such a spectacle. Early un Wednesday morning the citizens made only one army. The National Guard appeared in uniform, and was hailed with gratitude and respect. The crowd joined these citizens: it found powder and arms. Then they marched to the Place deGreve ; the Hotel de Ville was several times taken and retaken. At last it remained in the hands of the Constitutional party. The fire of the musketry continued till very late in the night. After the first combat the troops of the line, who behaved with the most laud able moderation, laid down their arms, and held out thee hands to their fellow-citizens and brethren. The gendarmerie soon followed the example. The Royal Guard at length yielded like the others. It is a singular spectacle to see the soldiers disarmed mingled with the armed citizens. They had exchanged their parts and their duties. The Swiss have surrendered. The people have been content with disarming them. The National Guard is reurgattized. Patroles in uniform traverse the city. Tranquillity everywhere prevails. The Mayors of the communes in the environs of Paris have taken measures to organize legal resistance. An investigation has been made, which shows that there is in Paris flour for six weeks' consumption ; there is, therefore, no reason to fear a scarcity. Yesterday several Deputies, viz. Messrs. General Gerard, Count de Lobau, Lafitte, Casimir Perrier, and Mauguin, went, amidst the fire of the musketry, to the 3larshal Duke of Ragusa. M. Lafitte spoke and represented to the Marshal the deplorable state of the ca. pital, blood flowing in all directions, the musketry firing as in a town taken by storm ; lie made him personally responsible, in the name of the assembled deputies of France, for the fatal consequences of so melancholy an event. The Marshal replied, The honour of a soldier is obedience.' And civil honour,' replied M. Lalitte, I. not to massacre the citizens.' I'hen the 3larshal said, ' But, gen. tlemen, what are the conditions you propose ?" Without judging too highly of our influence, we think that we can be answerable that every thing will return to order on the following condi tions s—the revocation of the illegal ordinances of the 26th of July, the dismissal of the Ministers, and the convocation of the Chambers on the 3d of August. The Marshal agreed that, as a citizen, he might perhaps not disapprove, nay might even parti cipate in the opinions of the deputies, but that as a soldier he had his orders, and had only carried them into execution,—that, howe ver, he engaged to submit these proposals to the King in half an hour. ' But' added the Marshal, 'if you wish, gentlemen, to have a conference on the subject with 81. de Polignac, he is close at hand and 1 will go and ask him if he can receive you.' A quarter of an hour passed; the Marshal returned with his countenance much changed, and told the Deputies that 111. de Polignae had declared ;o him that the conditions proposed rendered any conference useless. We have then civil war, said M. Lafitte : the Marshal bowed, and the Deputies retired. This morning, while the Deputies were delibe rating, a letter was delivered to General Gerard from the Com mander of one of the regiments of the garrison of Paris, stating that, if the General would send a Colonel, the regiment would obey his orders. The General immediately sent one of his aides-de-camp, who took the command of the regiment. The same happened with another corps. General Gerard took the command of both, and ad dressed an energetic speech to them, and thanked them for prefer. ring their country and real military honour above all things. (From the Meesayer des Chautbres of Friday, July 30.) The Marquis do Putoret, Chancellor of France; M. Semonvllle, Grand Iteferendary ; and Count d'Agout, Peer of France, have ar rived at the Hotel de Ville, and have announced that Charles X. has named M. de Mortemart President of the Council, and that be has declared himself willing to accept a Ministry chosen by him. Nothing has transpired respecting the answer of the Provisional Government. It is now averred that M. de Polignac has paid agents to kindle the fires in Normandy. 14. is reported that the Duke d'Orleans consents to accept the royal power and the national co lours, with all conditions which result from the charter. It is said that the Duke de Chartres hes arrived from Zoigny with his regiment. The mails set out this morning at two o'clock, and they will also be despatched this evening, under the protection of the National Guard. The carriages are at the barriers, whither the bags are conveyed. The markets are well supplied with provi sions, which are sold with the same security as usual. The vehicles which bring provisions from the environs of Paris stop at the bar. tiers, because the streets are barricaded, and the dealers go and fetch their supplies in baskets. The municipal commission of Go vernment has appointed Baron Louis Minister of Finance. He has taken up his abode in the Hotel tie }Broil. The troops of the Ministers had not time to carry away the public trea sure. The canons and pupils of the Seminary assembled in the Archiepiscopal Palace had the imprudence to fire from the windows. They wersoverpowered, some of them were victims,and this resistance, led to the complete pillage of the palace. The furniture was all broken to pieces, and thrown into the river. An estefette has been stopped at the barriers, and conducted to the Commission, at the Hotel de Ville. The courier was disguised, and wore a smock frock. The despatches were destined for Vincennes. They were delivered to the General in Command, who took his measures ac cordingly. Le Tempe mud France Nouvelle. A letter of the 49th of July, accompanying the express, says— The most horrible carnage bas taken place in Paris--yesterday till 8 o'clock in the evening, and to.day till noon. The number of killed and wounded is considerable on both sides, but the Royal, Guard was at length repulsed on all points. and the three-coloured, flag is hoisted on the Tuileries. It could never have been supposed , that there wan such Mvincible courage in the population of the ca pital Every one dew to arms, and this morning Paris could w i v e resisted 100,000 men. The /loyal Guard is now posted along the , road to St. Cloud ; but it appears that, haviWalecived reinfoect ments from Beauvais, it will attempt another tack tilts night " CALAIS JULTilig y ettt i p. m. " The mail.eoach has j ust arrived, with the ad painted out. It brings neither letters nor passengers from Paris, and the conductor is unfortunately intoxicated lie brings, however, a con. Srmation of this morning's news,—that a provisional Government is ecablished, to whom the army has submitted.' MLYICO. A Mexican Mail brought us last night Vera Cruz newspapers to the 12th of June inclusive. The following arc extracts: M exico, filar 24.—The latest journals from Yucatan daily express more inclination to the central system. The position of the government is very difficult. On the one hand, it ought not to permit the scandal of the separation of Yucatan to subsist ; on the other hard, the geographical position of that penin sula renders it extremely difficult to reduce it by force. A very strong and expensive maritime expedition would be necessary. The only ships of war that the Republic possess are in Yucmar. The troops there are good and well paid. The Government is in:- litary. and there do not appear to be any party differences. How. ever, Yucatan has declared that It continues to be an integral part or the Mexican Republic: the commencement of hostilities might induce the inhabitants to renounce this principle, which may, it. the sequel, lead to an amicable arrangement, if the affair is treated with ability and sincerity. Now there is no doubt of another Spanish expedition ; and it might, thereture, be ativisearde to sehd our troops thither ; and for the government, without giving ... assent to what has been done in Yucatan, to concert measures trio the chiefs of the (invent for the defence of the Peninsula against the threatened Spanish invasion. MEXICO, Nlar 28.—With the greatest regret we have to ar nounce the ruin of the city of Guatemala and of the surrounding country by most dreadful earthquak es . for fi ve success i ve d ays , an d which had not ceased when the messenger Ift the city. All the principal edifices were levelled with the gn u. el, and tile inhabitat is have been obliged to fly to the equates and field-, where they have erected huts for their shelter. Yesterday the Conductor set out for Vera Cruz, with 800,000 dollars, escorted as far as Puebla by the 7th Regiment of cavalry. By the care of Government, that the merchants might avail them_ selves of the Conductor, the carriage was reduced to per cent. Ii this emission is a proof of the revival of public confidante, it also thews the necessity of protecting and encouraging the national industry, In order to avoid sending ►uch liege sums of money abroad.

MELTING OF THE BRISTOL FREEMEN.—A ve , y numerous Meeting of the resident Electors of the City of Bristol took place this morning, for the purpose of proposing a fit and proper person to represent that city. At twelve o'clock the business was opened by the Chair man, C. &rev ENS, Esq. who briefly addressed the Meet ing, and pointed out Mr. PROTH Ii.ROE as a gentleman every way worthy of their support. Mr. MS NC HEE, late Editor of the Bristol Mercury, went into a statement connected with the question of slavery, and te?robanli the proceedings adopted by the party of Mr. BAIL LIE, the candidate, as disgraceful in the extreme. He should he happy to take the names of geut e men for Mr. Plt OTII EROE, for whom conveyance would be provided. He was frequently interrupted by cries of " Sermon," " Question," &c. and concluded by Eno posing Mr. PROTHEROE for their choice, which was re ceived with a mixture of applause and disapprobation.— Mr. W. BROWN, banker, then spoke at some length ; and begged the freemen to pause before they bound the n.- selves, upon any ex-purte statement. Mr. 13,111.1.1 k: was a most honourable man, as was Mr. PROTHERt.E. They did not want a man who would sti nd at a cert Lia house in Bridge-street to discount certain at c who would vote for the Bank Charter, in order to get I i brother, or cousin, a place in the Excise, or elsee her ! they wanted a man who would really strive to benefit the trade of the city of Bristol ; who would vote against t he taxes. They did nut want capital or enterprise—tin y wanted free trade—a free trade in corn would soon gi;e them a market for their manufactures. They wanted the East India, and all other monopolies, done away with— the vent which 300,000,000 millions of population would give them in the East. We were sympathizing and aiding the slaves of the West Indies, whilst English men had been found, at the end of a Parliament, toiling as beasts of burthen, and dying on our highways, with grass and sorrel in their stomachs. Mr. BROWN apologized iva detaining the Meeting, and concluded amidst great ap plause. Several others addressed the Chair, but the ul timate feeling did not appear to be very flattetiug to the convener of the Meeting. NAVAL INTELLIGENcS.
