THE EVENING STAR. v ).4 3 i• • ' - 0 4F ,A / 7 7 ' '4' l. A Pep ©AT LON 1)( )N. SATURDAY, AUGUST 7 According to the latest accounts from Paris, the Ex- KING, after leaving Rambouillet, took the road to Roche fort, w here there are two vessels ready to receive, and con vey him wherever he pleases ; but such is the uncer tainty of his mind that he bad not, on Thursday, determined whether he should proceed to England, to Switzerland, or to Naples. Naples, however, it is sup posed, will be his first resting place, as the young Duke of RDEA U X, and his mother, have already proceeded thither. From the intelligence, as before the public in the morning papers, which adds no important fact to what appeared in our columns yesterday, the popular excite ment in France is subsiding. The abdication and retreat to the coast of the KIN o and his family, which is now ascertained to be true, has allayed every alarm, ay to any intention on their part to occasion fur ther commotion. To succeed in the re-establish ment of CHARLES the Tenth, would, indeed, be a quixotic attempt; and w•e are really happy to see that, ignorant as himself and friends have proved them selves of human nature and sound governing policy, they have not been infatuated enough to entertain such a wild intention. We conceive that no Power in Europe will be found willing to interfere, to assist what is erroneously termed the Rights of the But: ; or, in fact, the pretended rights of K t NGS to govern nations on the exploded notion of Kt rGs possessing rights independent of their suf dects. The belief in the Divine Right of KINGS, which was once, like witchcraft, subject even of learned discussion, is now, like the belief in witchcraft, only talked of as a fact to wonder at in the history of human infirmity. The late event has, no doubt, been a grand exhibition to the world of the utter fallacy of all such doctrines. But while sincerely rejoicing, as the question be tween the regal authority and the authority of the People has been agitated, that it should be settled as it has been, we are inclined to regret the imprudent agitation of the question ; and we cannot but perceive that whatever great and essential good may ultimately result from it, there will he probably some proximate result of a different character. The moat superficial observer must perceive the catena• tion tetween ti-e late great event in France, and a cont. plete change in what are supposed to have been the inter national policy of the late Government. If we be right in our conjectures, that the policy of the POLION AG ad ministration was in accord with the policy of our own administration, and that it was by the perfect congenia lity in views between the two Governments, and other Government's in unison with whom they have acted, that the truly and naturally ambitious power of Russia was kept in check then, it must appear as a sequence from these premises, that a complete change in the views of the French Government, which from various causes becomes more than probable, will produce a release from all important check of the unconquered, and only temporarily restrained A uTocRAT. The conquest of Algiers, and natural in clination of the French to bold that territory, will, it may be conjectured, produce something like a leaning to 11.119.,iti; and a leaning towards Russia, will produce a leaning from England. It is therefore evident that the policy of all the great European Powers, and Britain among the rest, must either undergo a complete change, or conflicting interests will destroy that tranquillity which at present exists. If we turn our attention to other results from this im portant struggle, founded un the more general influence which it is calculated to have on European Governments, we cannot conceal from ourselves that its results must be most important. .1s Belgium attached to her phlegmatic Loan Will not old attachments of those undoubtedly nearer in kin and character revive with renewed dalliance? Prom Spain, probably had this event not occurred, we should, before one revolving moon, have intelligence to' surprise only those who are ignorant of what is doing in that quarter ; and the fate both of FERDIN AND and MIG VE t. will not be retarded by the events in France. In all this possible confusion, we have confidence in the wisdom and stability of our own Government ; and in the patriotism of our own KING. We likewise trust much in the good sense and patriotism of those who are at present in most authority in France, to see that the only mode to secure the victory they have gained, is to secure the establishment of an adequately powerful and efficient Executive; and that their own domestic peace will be !,tost surely pre served, by governing their policy in accordance with that which has, for the last ten years, preserved the tran quillity of the world. We conceive it probable that a very considerable im provement has taken place in the popular mind in France, since the Revolution ; and that the horrors of the early days of that political crisis, are still borne in mind, sufficiently to intimidate the sober and thinking classes of society there, from acquiescing in any change of system likely to endanger their recurrence. It is, there fore, quite satisfactory to perceive, as yet, no perceptible yearniug after experiments in legislation, which pro duced such dreadful results on the first erruption. The Duke of ORLEANs, if instrusted with adequate authority to maintain the ascendency of the laws, will, we have little doubt, prove a good Ktxe. ; at least, he is the-most probable to prove so of any person possessing adequate power in France. As to the late Kiso, were he desirous of making Britain the place of his abode, we are confident our hospitality would not be infringed by embitter ing his disappointments, with ungenerous personal in sult. We wonder how such a possibility has become the subject of discussion in a cotemporary Journal; as we consider it quite uncalled for, by any expression of popular sentiment. It is not the part of Britain to in crease animosities; but to prove herself the good Sa maritan and peace-maker, among the nations of the world. In our desire yesterday to supply the fullest and ear liest intelligence of the momentous changes in France, which only reached us about noon, we hurried over some additional facts which our friend and correspondent has communicated to us. A report was current in Paris on Wednesday, of an insurrection in Belgium. It is impossible to form an idea of the state of con sternation, disorder, and stupor, in which the Court of the Ex-KING was placed, on the failure of its diabolical policy. Our highly respectable Correspondent assures us, on the authority of an eye-witness, that the irritation against the authors of the ordinances of the 25th July, was as great in the fugitive Court as in Paris. Pomo /4 AG was the object of the abuse of all. The old Cour tiers reproach him loudly with his foolish conduct, and sanguinary ordinances. His very valet refused to serve him ; and he, once or twice, narrowly escaped being shot by the Garde-du-Corps, and Garde Royale. Va rious reports were afloat of Pomo:: sc's being taken prisoner. Another very interesting communication, from a lady in Paris, to her friend in London, which has just been handed to us says :—" You may easily conceive how terrified we have been, and indeed still are—such scenes of con fusion as every public place presents. Yet the citizens kept perfect order, and none could have behaved better ; but the roads and streets are all destroyed ; the royal gardens all in neglect ; the beautiful basins all dirty ; no jets d'eaux—the sentry boxes thrown down, and straw strewed for the present guards to lie on. Their fagged and wounded appearance, and dirty dresses, altogether present a picture of disorder not to be equalled. Paris has ceased to be a desirable place—all its beauty has departed— all its nobles are fast leaving it ; and no strangers can at present have any temptation to visit it." Among the affecting anecdotes with which we are supplied, we cannot refrain from relating one. On Fri-. day, says our friend, I saw eighty-three of the slaughter ed Frenchmen, buried in two large pits close to the Louvre ; a priest consecrated the ground, and they were interred with military honours. The French are really a romantic and poetical people in their manners. Many garlands of flowers and laurel crowns were thrown into the graves ; and one poor lad, who recognised his brother among the slain, jumped into the pit, and, after cutting a lock of hair from his head, and kissing bim a hundred times, returned, and became a calm spectator of the melan choly scene. Again, in Rue Richlieu, and the Rue St. Honore, where terrible slaughter took place, and where the streets literally ran with blood, placards were placed, on which was inscribed, " Frenchmen ! this blood is sacred to liberty, and must not be trod upon." Every spot has been religiously washed clean. It is a curious circumstance, that the very last spot where the troops were defeated, in the Rue St. Nicaise, is the spot where the infernal machine exploded, and destroyed more than thirty houses. The filks publique, who were prohibited from walking the streets, by an edict of the late pre facture of police, M. MANGIN, have again made their appearance : many of them, armed with swords, were mixing with the men in the fight, shouting five la li berti, de la presse—Vine la Charte. Despotic monarchs, or those who wish to become such, and who depend solely on their army for support, may look on the brave people of Paris, and reform or tremble. There is some talk of organizing an army of 800,000 men. The French are now united to a man, and may defy the world in arms. The German papers contain a letter from Frankfort, expressing the satisfaction of the Prussian public at the French success as respects Algiers, and says, that what ever jealousy may be entertained by other powers, Prussia is perfectly satisfied with the result. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. On account of a rise of the French routes, Consols which loft off yesterday 91i f for the account, opened this morning at 91i a , and went up to 92, and at present may be quoted 91a. There has been, during the week, a considerable ffuc tuation in the fun ds, from 89j to 92, about 2 per cent. The speculators are busy in the Stock Exchange, discussing what Austria, Prussia, and Russia will do, in the present situation of France. In the Foreign Market nothing doing at present, and prices are nominal. CITY, OWI O'CLOCK. Since the early part of the morning the Consol Mar ket has rather given way, and Consols have receded to 9111 for the Account. Console remain the same. . FRANCE. PRIVATE LETTER. EXTRACT OF A LETTIR DATED LYONS, JULY 31. Lyons has been in a state of revolution—nearly all the citizens are armed. Last night the crowd of people of all classes was immense. Two regiments (one foot, one horse) were ordered out on the Place des Terreaux, but no attempt was made to disperse the people by firing or otherwise. As each troop arrived, the people shouted Tire—! (naming the commanding officer)— Vice la Charle ! &c. They shook bands with the soldiers, em braced them, &c. As the Garde Nationale began to form, the Prefect refused to sanction their assembling, and an order was issued, threatening to fire upon any armed as sembly. They began, however, to form at five this morn ing, and up to this moment no attempt has been made to interrupt them. On the contrary, at noon, the Pre fect is reported to have sent an officer to assure the Garde Nationale that they had nothing to fear from the regular troops, his desire being to continue in peace and harmony with the citizens. He desired, however, a list of the officers, and offered them a station at the Ho tel de Ville. At four o'clock they went accordingly, but found the gates shut. The chief immediately had an interview with the Prefect, who said either that he could not or would not let them take their station there as pro mised. A general attack was then meditated, and every one seemed anxious to commence hostilities. The arrival of the cavalry to the aid of the Hotel de Ville, was pre vented by small parties of the Garde Nationale, and the population had begun to unpave and to barricade the streets. The Prefect, however, threw open the gates, the soldiers mixed with the Garde Nationale and the people, and up to this hour every thing has gone on quietly. The soldiers are about 4,000 only, horse and foot, and that is as nothing compared with the determined popu lation by which they are surrounded. The Garde Na tionale is forming all round the country. They are, it is reported, masters of Grenoble, where they have disarmed the regular troops. At St. Etienne, a National Guard is forming, and as there are no soldiery, it is intended that they should march to Lyons. The manufactories having ceased, you may imagine the immense crowds that are assembled, and the cry of them all is " Liberty !" PARIS, WEDNESDAY, AUG. 4, Two o'clock. The Chamber of Deputies met yesterday ; the Duke d'Orleans addressed the house, and announced the abdi cation of the King, as well as the yielding up of all claims on the part of the Dauphin, without, as I believe I told you yesterday, its having been stated by the Duke that the King resigned in favour of the young Duke of Bor deaux. This, however, it appears, was declared by Charles as his wish. The speech of the Duke d'Or leans I forward in the newspapers, French and Eng lish, which I send through Al' Mahon. The armed people, volunteers, &c. having found yesterday that the King did not seem inclined to leave Rambouillet, and that h• wished to resign in favour of young Bordeaux, met in the Champs Elysees, where they were joined by some thou sands from Rouen, and proceeded in omnibuses, coaches, cabriolets, &c. on the road to Rambouillet, to force him to start. They are, however, all returning to-day, and the Moniteur, in an article dated six o'clock this morn ing, announces that the King left that place at ten o'clock last night. Rambouillet is about 11 leagues from Paris. The people who are returning state that he has now cer tainly taken the road to Chartres. My previous infor mation on this point was not correct. It is asserted that all the crown jewels have been given up. Tranquillity and order prevail here in a wonderful manner. We perceive that, as Mr. Brougham would express it, the school master is abroad : good sense is certainly abroad. After the first few hours during the row, I felt much more comfort able among the people than I should among a mob at one of your Westminster elections. All the English here are quite astonished that no pillaging has taken place,— no burning of houses. I cannot obtain a tolerably ac curate statement of the killed and wounded. Some talk of four or five thousand ; but I have, as I have men tioned before, been as much as possible in the midst of what was going on, as a looker-on, and I think it will turn out that the whole amount does not exceed 1,200 or 1,500. My long experience as to the kind of firing which took place, enables me to judge pretty well that the effect was not so great as many might suppose. _ PARIS, Avo. 4. After asking and obtaining a safe conduct through the French territory, from the existing Provisional Govern ment, it was yesterday announced, on the return of the commissioners to Paris, that the King had finally refused to quit Rambouillet, until he was made acquainted with the resolutions of the two Chambers on the subject of his abdication in favour of the Duke de Bordeaux.— In adopting this resolution, it is believed that the King has been influenced by the remonstrances of his niece and daughter-in-law, the Duchess d'Angouleme, who had reached Rambouillet a short time before the ar rival of the commissioners from Paris. As the letter of abdication, subscribed by the King and the Dauphin, and addre ssed to the Duke of Orleans, as Lieutenant- General of the kingdom, has already appeared in a sup plement to the Moniteur, it has probably reached you by some of those extraordinary means which give you so decided a precedence over all your contemporaries. It contains as you have seen, a sort of order to his Royal Highness to proclaim the accession of the Duke de Bordeaux to the crown under the title of Henry V. and to communicate the King's intentions on the subject to the members of the diplomatic body. The whole con trivance, however, although evidently intended to sow the seeds of dissension among the people, or at least to detach a portion of the aristocracy from the popular cause, can not fail to be attended with the most signal defeat. As soon as the resolution of the Royal Family to remain at Rambouillet was made known to the Provisional Govern ment by the return of the Duke de Coigny and the other commissioners who had been sent to protect them in their retreat, Lieutenant-General Pajol and Colonel Jacque minot were directed to place themselves at the head of a strong body of the national troops,and to proceed to Ram bouillet, for the purpose, it is understood, of either bringing [ the King to Paris, or of compelling him and his family to make good their retreat. This movement, as was to be expected, produced, and still keeps up, a very marked sensation throughout the capital. Every horse, and every vehicle, public or private, to be found on the streets of Paris, was put in instant requisition, for the more speedy conveyance of this mass of armed citizens to Rambouillet. It is certain that the number who left Paris, and who were last night seen on their way to Ver Bailie., amounted, by the most moderate computation, to 20,000 men; and it is known that they would be joined on their route by, at least, 8,000 additional troops, who had previously arrived at Poissy and St. Germain from Rouen and Havre, and who had received orders to pro ceed in the direction of Rambouillet. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the constitutional L aaths force will be found so overwhelming, that the King, with ll his obstinacy, will be deterred from hazarding a gene fig engagement. It would be matter for serious lamen if an armed population, excited by the sanguinary 'nesses which they have lately witnessed, should, by the Iposiiiiistion of the Royal family, inflict a stain on the national character, for which even the glorious deed,, of the last eight days, and the moderation of the conquerors in the hour of victory, would offer an insufficient atone ment. Enough of blood has been already shed, and to add to it that of the unconscious and unoffending whose rights of legitimacy are now thrown as a firebrand among the people, would infer only the presence of that weakness and pusillanimity which proceeds fro►u cowardice and disunion. it was at nine o'clock on Saturday evening that the King and the Royal family ar rived at Rambouillet, attended by a numerous suite, outs: piling not less than 150 carriages. He was preceded and followed by a detachment of the Garde du Corps, who with the other troops which have since been mus tered, in the park of the Chateau, are said to amount to about 4,000 men. The indecision which the King had exhibited before the arrival of the Dauphiness, and the sudden determination which he took to quit the country, at a time when a very different course t e as anti cipated, was doubtless occasioned by the uncertainty under which he remained, as to the reception he might meet with in the south of France, and the intelligence which must have reached him of the insurrections which have taken place in Mans and Chartres, and the other great towns in the direction of La Vendee. As yet I have heard of no arrival from Rambouillet, but shall keep my letter open till the latest moment, in the hope or being able to communicate the intelligence for which all Paris is at present in a state of feverish anxiety. Foy it 0 9 C LOC K A despatch has arrived from Marshal Maison, an nouncing that the king has been prevailed on, with his family, to resume his route for Cherbourg, under the safe conduct of the commi.,sioners appointed by the Provi sionnl Government. This fact may, I believe, be relied upon, but the rumours by which it is accompanied, as to the ulterior destination of the family, who have been so suddenly precipitated from their high estate, are too confused and contradictory to be entitled to the same attention. That which is most generally credited is, that two ships belonging to the United States of America are at Cherbourg, ready to receive the fallen monarch and his retinue, but whether to cross the Atlantic, or to proceed to the shores of Spain or England, is as yet mat ter of conjecture. The Duke de Chartres, who now en joys the prospect of hereafter succeeding to the sove reignity of France, is at this moment making his public entry into the capital, by the barrier St. An toine, at the head of his regiment, attended by a nu merous cortege of the sons of the nobility and gentry who had gone out to meet him, and to grace his arrival. The deliberations of the Chamber of Deputies to-day are probably confined to mere matters of preliminary form and arrangement, so that I have not made any attempts to be present. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM A Y01:1476 LADY. PARIS. Aua. Y. You have, I suppose, received a few lines from Ed ward, to tell you of our safety ; we were afraid at that moment to enter into any particulars of what has oc curred here, as all letters were read at the post-office ; nor shall I now, only as far as regards ourselves, 1 little thought that I should ever witness a revolution, and indeed it was a frightful scene, or rather what we heard ; for we saw nothing during the hotest of the encounter. When we arrived on the Tuesday evening,* we kne , v nothing. A man came recommending his hotel, and saying something to deter us from going to the one we proposed ; but we did not listen to him. A friend of the Miss --'s met them and hurried them off as quickly as possible, and we took a coach to drive to a hotel in Rue St. Honore,t where I intended to remain one night. The first thing that alarmed me, was our being stopped by soldiers.] With great difficulty we got through the crowds, and when we came within sight of the hotel, we were obliged to alight, on account of the barricadoes in the street. I don't think I ever suffered so much from fright as at that moment. We were hurried into a place, which certainly I thought a prison. When we got in, the people were all in such a state of alarm that they could scarcely speak, gentlemen and ladies. 'We, however, soon learnt that the soldiers had fired on the house. killed one young gentleman, and very severely wounded two of the waiters. One must lose his arm, in all probability, and the other the ball entered near his heart, and was extracted from his back ; and one gentleman had his head grazed by a ball, so as to bleed profusely. In short, we arrived at the house only a few minutes or a quarter of an hour after all this occurred. This outrage on the part of the military was occasioned by some men going on the top of the house and throwing down stoned' on them, for they had previously been called out, on ac count of the mobs collecting. They, of course, thought it came from some one in the house, and they fired. The people then became infuriated against them, and there was a regular attack of cavalry and infantry. They were, however, driven b.tsk by the people, and when we arrived this was just over ; we only saw the result of it. The regular canonade did not begin until Wed nesday morning. We happened to be in the midst of the whole, being quite near the Palais Royal and the Tuileries. The attack lasted unceasingly for two days. We could hear the halls whizzing past the windows, and some spent balls fell in the rooms. The state I was in I can hardly tell, as I was insensible for some time ; every thing came on me so unexpectedly; I have not recovered altogether, as you may perceive from my writing ; my hand still shakes. It has been a great blessing to me that Edward was with me. His kindness and attention have been greater than I can express,-3 rare instance of brotherly affection, and has been re marked by all around us. You at a distance may imagine I was more terrified than there was occasion for, but I assure you I was not singular in this house. PARIS. AUGUST 4, Two o'Clock, P.M. The hfoniteur of this day, as well as the other Morn ing Journals (which 1 suppose to be in your hands), will have informed you of the acts of the new Government— such as the nomination of the Ministers, the Prefects, Procurators-General, and other functionaries indispen sably necessary to move the machine of Administration brought into play by the memorable revolution we have experienced. You will see from the Journals, that the opening Speech pronounced in the Chambers by the Lieutenant-General of the Kingdom —au extract of which I transmitted to you yesterday, a few moments after it was delivered—has not satisfied all parties. Read Le Temps of this day. The first article of that paper expresses the most politic opi nion of the dissentients. The opposition of the other Journals is not so consistent, nor founded on such strong motives. It is a remarkable fact that the people, the lower classes, the mere mob, who were the real com batants, and who triumphed, have, after the victory, peaceably returned to their labour; and that, conscious of their incompetence to enter into political controver sies, they are in arms, and constitute that very force which enables society to re-assert its political rights, whilst it abstains, however, from intermeddling with dis- • In the dilitteeee et Roe Netee Dime den t Levreotee.
