We have accounts from Caraccas to the 13th June, hich state that a new faction had arisen in support of BOLIVAR. General INFANTE, a brave and rather in fluential officer, has placed himself at the head of the revolt, and enlisted under his banner Colonels PANGO, ARMES, GAMORA, OUNSTRIAL, and BURTELLOS. The town of Oritue, El Potrero, Chaguarianas, Rio Chico, and Gnanape, comprised the revolted districts. Pacific overtures had been made, but ineffectually, and arrange ments were preparing. General BERMUDEZ and Mo- NACIAS were on the march against the revolters, and PARE was to follow. By advice, from Buenos Ayres, we learn the exporta tion of wheat has been prohibited in consequence of the failure of the harvest. The exportation of horse-hides by water, had likewise been prohibited, from the 23d of the present month. Our accounta from Monte Video state, that a Decree has been issued imposing heavy taxes on shopkeepers, tailors, leather-sellers, hardware, and importing mer chants, which had caused great discontent. We have letters from Havanna to the beginning of July. A rich planter, named JOSE FERNANDEZ, had , failed on the 17th of June, for upwards of half a million of dollars. He was prepared to pay 1500 boxes of sugar annually. He is reported to be rich in estates. Rain had fallen at Havanna every day almost, and some fever had shewn itself, but no deaths. The Papers of Vera Cruz of June 2d, mention, that order had been re-established at Tobasco. The town of Acapulco, on the Pacific, which had been in the hands of the Guerero party, had been retaken by General BRAVO on the sth of May, with a very inconsiderable loss. We have Quebec Papers to the 19th July. The im ports of that port had much encreased. The surplus duty on the Quarter ending the sth July, 1830, as compared with that of 1829, was £2,403 14s. 7d. and that on wines for the same period £1,902 7s. 9d. The advices from Upper Canada generally anticipate an abundant crop. So delightfully complete has the late great revo lution of France been, and so completely exempt from any one fact to regret, except the loss of life in the first memorable days, that the wondering politicians of Europe are left already, almost to view a tranquil ocean, with hardly one perceptible ruffle to indicate that a storm has passed. We speak thus, judging by the journals and private letters from that city. We suspect there may be, and indeed have little doubt there must be, factions forming in Paris of the base and desperate—who may be viewing the ap parent tranquillity and unanimity, as Satan is represented by the Poet to have viewed the innocence and happiness of our first parents, and who would deeply regret that so fine an opportunity for producing revolutionary confusion, should be thus suffered to escape ; bat we are happy to per ceive that all:the great leaders appear to act with unanimity, in the important steps which have been taken to settle the country, and render permanent the good which their valour has achieved. The sittings of the Legisla tire Bodies, being, when occasion renders it desirable, in private, is a most important preventative of mischief; and the modification of an attempt to alter the existing regu lation, on this point, shows that the influencing parties are on the alert, to avoid all popular excitement. The only sentiment of an important bearing, which has been mentioned in the Journals, as having escaped in the speech of the virtuous and venerable LAVA iTTR, is that which regards the, abolition of an here . dibuy aristocracy. The anecdote of . what oc curred in front of the Chamber of Peers, regarding this subject, mast have been perceived with regret ; u it, ..-00K - tior" .-- -- .- * •-----•. ..,„:.,.., .......::.„ : t 6g ft • . ~.. . _ • ete lo‘ it it: , .• k C act i, -:, 4 4 - 4+ CAN 7i .

LAFA TETTE : he waives his own peculiar opinions on this and another more important point, and harmonizes with the sentiments of the majority. We think we can perceive that the men 71010 acting bear in mind the errors of the early and virtuous founders of the first revolution, and have made a resolution to avoid them. There appears among them none of that pseudo-philosophy which treats of man, not as he is, but as their warm, and often benevolent imaginations would wish him to be. It was theoretical politics—not prac tical—which ruined themselves, and introduced the con fusion of their country. And we fervently hope that no unfortunate step may give play to such experimental notions on Government, as occcasioned the intro duction of all the crimes and misery that ensued. We perceive that two of the late Ministers are taken. We regret it moat sincerely, and we hope that the others may have escaped. We regret it, because the sacrifice of life can do no good, and must do mis chief. While we join entirely in the predominating sen timent against the faults of their policy, we confess we cannot but think that the Journalists of this country travel criminally beyond their line of duty, in writing one word to encourage revengeful feelings in a foreign peo ple— the minutia of whose politics, with all their boasted and boastful pretensions to infallible wisdom, is well known to every man of good sense, can be but very imperfectly understood. We sincerely hope that the great exhibition which the French have presented to the world, of patriotism and courage, may be yet heightened in effect, by the addition of a still more sublime virtue— that is mercy; and we hope that an example will be set by the PEOPLE,WhiCh has seldom been set by KINGS -that of avoiding a revengeful effusion of blood when it can be avoided. The Palais Royale is crowded daily with suitors for places. All the courtiers of the Tuileries are eagerly offering their unworthy incense at the foot of the new power. The Constitutionnel says:—" We should strangely deceive ourselves were we to consider the reign of Charles X. as legal and flowing from the Charter—as a reign, the acts of which are binding. No : this reign has been but the developement of a conspiracy, formed on the very day that Louis XVIII. ascended the throne—a con spiracy that worked for several years in secret,showed itself somewhat more boldly towards the end of his reign, and at length seated itself upon the throne with Charles X. on the 16th Sept. 1824. The occult government from that time became the ostensible Government. It was not that of a King who came to rule, for the best, the country en trusted to him by destiny ; it was the emigrants and the clergy returned to seize their prey; it was the sanguinary enemies of France, enemies a hundred fold more cruel than foreign armies, who came to gratify thirty years of hatred, humiliated pride, and disappointed cupidity. We repeat, that it was not a legal or regular Government. It was an invasion of the emigrants and Jesuits. It was a commotion which overturned social order, and subjugated a brave and generous people to the vilest portion of itself. The nation revolted against this armed occupation, and it has triumphed ; but the army of occupation remains intact." The Journal de Paris informs us that the most un happy of the adherents to the royal party, during the King's flight, was the Duke de Ragusa. His conduct during the 27th, 28th, and 29th, provoked the abso lutists as much as it exasperated the nation. He is re proached with having disregarded the instructions which he had received, by not cutting down the Parisians on the first day : with not having arrested, on Wednesday, the Deputies sent to negociate, contrary to the orders which had been given him to that effect: and, finally, with having checked the ardour of his troops, by informing them, in an Order of the Day, that negotiations were entered into with the rebels. In consequence of all this, the Duke d'Angou leme, it is said, on the Marshal's arrival at St. Cloud, rushed upon him like a fury, and struck him several times on the chest. On the Marshal's threatening to defend himself, the Prince, exasperated, demanded his sword. Marmont gave it up, and the Duke d'Angouleme seized it so hastily, and in so awkward a manner, that he cut his bands severely. He called aloud for the Guards— about a dozen of them immediately rushed in armed, and seeing the Prince wounded, were going to stab Marmont with their bayonets. The Duke d'Angouleme stopped them, saying: " No, he is s traitor, but let him be spared. ' This scene was soon known, and Charles X. had some difficulty in bringing ab out a reconciliation. The Dauphin at last said to Marmont, " I have been in the wrong."— It is said that when Charles X. in order to obtain a safe conduct, proposed to abdicate in favour of the Duke of Orleans--the latter rejected the offer imme diately, declaring that France bad become free ; and that, as for himself, if ever he possessed the Crown, he would hold it from the people alone. Charles X. then confined himself to absolving the soldiers from their oaths. The Marquis de Larochejaquelin was the bearer of Itite application of Charles X. for a safe conduct. The Mositeur says, that the national troops, who were under the command of Gen.. Pejo!, accompanied by Gen. £xcelmans, Col. Jacqueminot, and M. George Lafayette, were filled with the same enthusiasm which they had displayed in the great week. The army encamped at Coignieres, and as early as 3 in the morning demanded to be ordered to march on Rambouillet, and even toad vance beyond it. It was with the greatest difficulty the men could be induced to stop. The results of the march were immense. The flight of the King—his de finitive abdication—the recovery of the Crown-jewels— the surrender of the whole of the Royal Guards-rwere the fruits of this day, which closed the glorious Revo lution ! The Duke d'Angouleme ordered ten men of the Royal Guard to be shot, in the Park of St. Cloud, e ve n a t th e time when there was no hope of the success of his party, on the night which preceded his Sight.—Courrier des Electeurs. It was in the environs of Tours, and in a by-road which he was endeavouring to traverse on foot, that the ex-Minister Chantelauxe was surprised. The peasants who captured the ex-keeper of the seals, were armed to protect their property against fire, and when th e y ar rested him they took him for an incendiary.-. Paris Paper. The censorship is becoming sore and more severe in Saxony, thanks to the insinuations of the Jesuit party, which has obtained complete dominion over the King's mind. It that several printers have, in conse quence, transferred their establishments to the Prussian States, where the Government is making continual Coll cessions to the spirit of the age.Le Temps. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Consols, which left off yesterday at 91i for the Ac count, opened this morning at 91i j, and at present they are 91i. This improvement is owing to the tran quil state of affairs in Paris, In the Foreign Market, most of the securities arc somewhat improved. Quebec Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, to the 15th July:—" St. John's, New Brunswick, June 15. His Majesty's ship Champion arrived on Sunday, in four days, from Halifax. We learn that her commander has instructions to accom pany his Excellency the Governor to the French shore of St. Peter's, whither his Excellency intends to pro ceed, in the course of a fortnight, for the purpose of ob taining correct information with respect to the relative rights of the English and French fisheries. Est to RATION.—The number of emigrants arrived in the Port of Quebec, on the 12th o(July, 1829, was 6,500: the number arrived during this season, up to the present day, is 16,840—an excess of upwards of 10,000 souls. LIVERPOOL, Ay G. 9.—The demand for British plan tation sugar continues good, the sales for the week amounting to 1,000 hogsheads, at some little decline on the prices of the better descriptions. The demand for coffee continues extensive ; and the demand for cotton this week has been rather moderate, the sales amounting only to 14,500 bags. The lost prices have been fully supported. We continue to have many arrivals of vessels with pine timber ; and, as they are now being dis charged, the quays are crowded with timber. Most of the cargoes landing have been disposed of to the trade. Our City Correspondeiat writes thus :—" The French have now a King of their own choice, under the title of Philip the First. Order and tranquillity have again been restored. There is one act in this revolution of magic, which the public will find fault with—the annulling of the Peers, by the Chamber of Deputies, which Charles the Tenth had lately created. This, they say, is a re volutionary act, and should not have taken place ; but this measure being left to the King's discretion, it is sup posed that most of them will again be re-instated. Ano ther question is the destination of Charles X. on which subject we are as yet in the dark. The French express does not state anything on that point. " Philip the First, in his speech, is desirous of peace with all Europe, and it now remains to be seen if all the Allied Powers are of the same sentiment. Former periods, no doubt, have taught them experience ; and the well-informed are of our opinion, that they will not interfere with the internal affairs of France." CITY, HALF PAST ONE, In consequence of the French Funds coming higher 3 per cents, for money 78 70, for time 79 10, the Con sol Market has improved to 911 for the Account, and at present they are 91ii. All is going on well in France. Government have received several expresses this day from Paris, no doubt with the official information of the new King being installed. In the Foreign Market every Stock is better. In Shares nothing doing. South Me tropolitan Gas, 2i premium. Dov Elt, Auo. 10.—Some expresses have arrived for the Foreign-office and the newspapers. There were a large importation of British people : these two days past 18 carriages and families in one day. The people say, that every thing is getting very quiet at Paris, and placards put up in all the towns and cities, to inform the British people that they will be protected from insult and kept in safety. There were two expresses left this morning for Paris. The private letters by the express this morning bring the French funds very high, as follow :-3 per cents. 78 to 70 for money, for time 79 to 10 ; 5 per cents. 104 25. A private letter received yesterday from Marseilles, with the Paris papers, states that the tri-coloured flag was flying on Notre Dame de la Garde and the town hall of that city. A popular feeling had shewn itself on receiving the intelligence from Paris, and the bust of Louis XVIII. at Marseilles, had been pulled down by the people, and a tri-coloured flag put in its place. The town, at the departure of the letters, was, how ever, tranquil. By a vessel arrived at Marseilles from Algiers, most interesting accounts were received from the Algerine expedition. As passenger in the vessel was an officer of the expedition to Algiers, who brought information, that on the receipt of the intelligence of the late proceedings in Paris being known to the troops, they immediately proclaimed themselves in favour of liberty and the Charter ; crying, " Down with the Bourbons !" " Down with despotism !" A few of the old soldiers exclaimed, " Long live the Emperor, and Napoleon the Second!" Gen. Bourmont addressed the troops, requesting them, for the sake of themselves and their country, to show no popular feel ing, as the inhabitants might take advantage of such a demonstration. It is stated, on very good authority, that this General, now a Marshal, exclaimed to one of his Aides-de-camp, on hearing the intelligence, " that he had been betrayed by Polignac, and knew that that minister's politics would finally subvert the reign of the Bourbons." On the departure of the above offi cer, Marshal Bourmont was expected to return imme diately to France. Among the Algerines there was no signs of joy at the condition of affairs in France. The French were treated with the greatest kindness by the natives, and the town was perfectly tranquil. A great number of the French troops were much affected by the climate, and about 500 were in the hospitals. In a set of papers lately presented by His Majesty's command to both Houses of Parliament, entitled " Cor respondence with Foreign Powers relating to the Slave Trade," there is a truly shocking and humiliating exhibi tion of the atrocities of the French slave-traders on the one hand, and the impotent though earnest and respectful appeals of our naval officers and colonial governors to those of the French islands, and of our Ministers to those of France, on the other hand, against those lawless offenders,and the official abettors of their crimes.— Tissues. CALAMITOUS FlRE.—This morning, at half-pest three, an alarming fire broke out in the warehouses of Messrs. Messenger and Houghton, wholesale oil-factors, in Bartholomew-close, from whence it rapidly extended to the printing-office of Messrs. Adlard, and sees alter , wards to the extensive premises of Messrs. Seddon, es binet-makers and upholsterers. The premiies immedi ately adjoining those of Messrs. Messenger are occupied by Shearman and Co. of the Bull and Mouth Inn, se stabling, and a number of horses were there at the tinsel the fire broke out, but none of them were injured. The house where the fire originated, together with the print , ing-office and upholstery warehouse, were totally de stroyed. The amount of property destroyed is greater than has been lost on any similar occasion for a great number of years. Some accounts say that it is at least to the extent of two hundred thousand pounds; but this, I we have reason to believe, is exaggerated. It is not known bow the calamity arose; and at the present nto ment, it is feared that there is a loss of several lives. Later accounts, and no doubt truer, state that the loss may be about 30,0001. and the whole Is insured. 500 4,800 4,850 COURT INTELLIGENCR. TIIE KING.-At half-past ten yesterday morning, the King, accompanied by Sir William Fremantle, left the Castle, and proceeded through the different Parks, on a general inspection of the rides and drives belonging to them, which occupied his Majesty till half -past three o'clock. On his return to the Castle his Majesty partook of some refreshment, after which, a pony phaeton being in readiness, his Majesty, accompanied by his Royal sister, the Duchess of Gloucester, drove to the Royal Lodge. The Queen and some of the distinguished visite!, were of the party. Her Majesty rode on horseback. After inspecting every part of the Royal Lodge, their Majesties and illustrious party proceeded to Cumberland Lodge, which they also minutely examined, as well as the ex tensive gardens and hot-houses belonging thereto. Their Majesties expressed themselves highly pleased with the good order and regularity that reigned throughout, and with the rapid progress that had been made of late. This forenoon their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland, and Prince George of Cumberland, ar rived at the Castle, on a visit to their Majesties, a itl, whom it is expected they will pass some time. The band of the .sth Dragoons, stationed here, have been in attendance every evening at the Castle. The Duke and Prince George of Cambridge, accent parried by the Landgravine of Hesse Homberg, embarked, with their suite, at Ostend, at three o'clock on Monday morning, on board the Lightning steam-packet, whicl. conveyed the Royal party to Deptford, where their Royai Highnesses landed about five o'clock on Monday after noon, and immediately proceeded with their suite, in mix carriages, to Cambridge House, Piccadilly, where every thing was prepared for their Royal Highnesses' recep tion, although they were not expected till yesterday. About ten o'clock the Duke of Cumberland, who had been entertaining a party to dinner to meet Prince Au gustin of Prussia, came from his residence in the King's Palace, St. James's, and made his congratulations to his Royal relatives on their arrival. The Princess Augusta came to town yesterday morn ing, from her residence at Frogmore : and the Princess Sophia, from the King's palace at Kensington. The Princesses went to Cambridge House to congratulate th.. Landgravine, and the Duke and Prince George of Cam bridge, on their arrival in England. The Duke of Cambridge, accompanied by his son, walked out yesterday, and visited the Duchess of Cum berland at the King's palace, St. James's. About four o'clock yesterday afternoon the Landgra vine, the Princess Augusta, the Duke and Prince George of Cambrdge, left town on a visit to their Majesties at the Palace at Windsor. The Duke, Duchess, and Prince George of Cumberland, left town about the same time, to dine with the King and Queen. The Duchess of Gloucester is at present staying on a visit to their Majesties, in readiness to receive her royal relatives. The Duke of Wellington left town yesterday, for Walmer-castle, Kent. The Austrian Ambassador had an interview with do. Earl of Aberdeen yesterday, at the Foreign-office. The Marquis of Santa Amaze, Ambassador from the Emperor of Brazil, visited the Earl of Aberdeen on Monday, at the Foreign-office. The French charge d'affaires transacted business at the Foreign-office on Monday. The patent has arrived appointing J. H. North Del. to be Judge of the Irish Court of Admiralty, vice Sir J. Barrington, dismissed.—Evening Post. It has been matter of speculation whether the late King's initials G. R. would continue to be used as the initials of his present Majesty, as being the first letters of the words " Gulielmus Rex ;" or a hether the letter W. would take the place of the G. In the reign of I King William the Third the initials W. R. were used, and it is, no doubt, in the recollection of many of our legal readers that, in the East window of Lincoln's Inn chapel, there are the arms of King William the Third, with the Dutch arms in the centre, and, at the outside of the shield, the letters W. R. His Royal Highness the Prince Augustus of Prussia arrived in town, quite unexpectedly, on Saturday last. His Royal Highness left Berlin with the intention of going to Paris ; but, having heard, on his way, of the momentous events in France, he altered his route for London. The Prince honoured the Prussian Minister with his company to dinner on Sunday, to meet a select party of his countrymen. It is an undoubted fact that the infatuated Charles, on the very day of his flight to Saint Cloud, betook himself to his favourite amusement of shooting; and that, on the very same evening, he was playing at cards, while the sound of the cannonade in Paris could be distinctly heard in the room where he was sitting. This cannot fail to remind one of Nero fiddling and Rome on fire ! An extraordinary meeting of the council of the Metro politan Political Union, summoned by special requisition, took place last evening, at the Committee-room, Mr. Abraham Booth being in the chair. A resolution passed the meeting to the effect, that Messrs. Gale Jones and Taylor, who had become members on the evening of public meeting, had ceased to be members of the Union, having spoken language discountenanced by the laws of the Union. On the second day of the Salisbury races, the country people attacked the " thimble rig," and other black-leg gentry, amounting to between 200 and 300, and, after a regular engagement, drove them completely off the Course. The Nuremberg Correspondent of the 2d contains some speculations on the interference of Russia in the affairs of Greece. Prince Lieven it appears had fallen under suspicion, but was able to prove that he had acted according to his instructions in the whole affair. It is said he is to be made Foreign Minister. The Court of Russia, the Nuremberg Paper adds, is determined to come to a final settlement of Greek affairs without delay. PRINCE POLIGN AC.—.LUDIC ROCS M MAR a.—The arrival last night, at a late hour, of Count Potocki, brother to the Countess Woronzow, at Mivart's Hotel, Lower Brook-street, was the cause of a laughable mistake, which excited some little confusion. The Count and suite, it appeared, arrived about half-past ten, in two carriages, direct from Paris, and during the conveyance of the luggage into the hotel, a crowd gathered around the equipage. The proceedings in France still being uppermost in the minds of all classes, and those engaged in the service of the Count speaking French, some degree of curiosity was excited among the by-standers to know who the great personage was. The exteriors of the carriages were examined, and the letters " S.P." being found on one of them, it immediately struck severa l that it could be no othe r than Prince Polignac travelling ineog. This being whispered about, the belief became general among those surrounding the Hotel, and the news of the Prince's arrival in England was s pread far and wide. The rumour shortly reached us ; but, on making inquiry, we were assured by the worthy pro prietor of the hotel in question, that the rumour was without the slightest foundation, and that in truth Count Potocki was the nobleman whose initials had been mis taken for those of Prince Polignac. I
