We have received by express the Gazette de France of yesterday, and letters from Paris, with the last prices of the French funds on Wednesday evening. PARIS, Wednesday Night.—" The temporary rise that took place in the funds having arisen entirely from the efforts of some powerful house, and being in oppo sition to the general feeling, it is not surprising that the prices have lowered, nor can it create any should they be still lower to-morrow. It is now known that the King is more determined than ever to persevere in the present system. Polignac is resolved to hold out to the last. He will meet the Chambers. On MONTEEL'S leaving the Cabinet, CAPELLE will be made Minister of Finances, and FE RDIN AND BERTIER Minister of Public Works. Such, at least, is the present determination. OFFICIAL NOTZ. ON BOAIIII TEE Paovzxcx. DAT OT SIDI }swum Jults 28. Sir,—l had the honour of rendering you an account that the fleet, in the gale of the 16th, had sustained the loss of some anchors and cables. It was assailed by an other gale on the 26th, from which it suffered greater day mage. Several vessels were driven from their anchors, and broke their cables, chains, and anchors, which were not of sufficient strength. The safety of the whole fleet might have been endangered. Gales are frequent, although we are in the fine season of the year, and the sea be comes, on a sudden, tremendously heavy. I now find that the Bay is not tenable, and yet, without the presence of a part of the fleet, there would be no disembarkation, and, consequently, no provisions for. he army on shore. The position is extremely dif ficult ; the army is engaged with the enemy, who will, I believe, be to-morrow attacked in the position he has mounted with artillery in advance of Fort Emperor. The investment of the fort itself will follow this attack. The positions are defended by Turkish troops from the gar rison of Algiers. The Commander -in-Chief has not sent me his dispitche4, but I could not dispense with sending a vessel immediately for a supply of anchors and cables,' the want of which is most urgent. I have furnished three temporary crews to the army, each composed of eight companies, to form the garrison of the entrenched camp. The navy has made unusual sacrifices, even beyond its strength, since the greater part armed en flute supply more than one half of their complement for the girrtson and working parties. I have appointed Capt. Hagan to the command of the seamen forming the garrison ; and the General-in-Chief has placed the whole of the en trenched camp under his orders. I have appointed the senior Capt. Curlier to have the entire direction of un lailing the transports. (Sired) DUPERRE The Journal du Commerce says, " Persons who are likely to be well informed assert, that the mission of the, son of M. de Peyronnet to Africa, is to convey General de Bourmout the truncheon of Marshal : an honour said to have been resolved upon at the last Council. Quebec Papers to the 9th of June, and Monti Papers to the 11th of June have been received at North and South American Coffee-house ; but they not contain any information of interest. A Philadelphia Paper received this day, gives us the following characteristic information in the art of diplo :macy. Speaking of the negociatioue with Great Britain, this paper says:—" We learn free, WASHINGTON that the progress of the negociations between our Minister at London, and the Brltlib Secretary of State, in rela tion to our Colonial pads, has been extremely limited. Indeed, the extent is that Mr. *Lora had egt dressed several proroloccommunications upon the sub ject to Lord Alma Dean ; and thstso all these communi cations the, Nash Minister ha replied, in rerybriefnotes, 'courteous!, sekeowlediting. :their receipt!, •expreasiog i the &lomat of' the British Government. a 39i 1 37 10 0 1.10 37 25 160 40 481 100 15 20 150 35 20 - ,tended answer to the letters. The latest note of Mr. , *PLANE to our goverrimmit states, that to another urgent communication from him to Lord Astauzew, he had received another laconic note, simply reiterating the professions previously made." Among the varieties connected with public business touched upon last night in the House of Commons— which appears rapidly clearing off all arrears—we had some satisfaction in noticing the short speech of Mr. TRANT on the India question, in which he expressed a hope, that the India Committee, in recommencing its labours, would especially consider the affairs of India, with reference to the interests of its natives. We are happy to observe, that at least one Member of Parlia ment—we do not, however, mean to say exclusively one as wo recollect Sir CHARLF.S FORBES and others have expressed similar sentiments—has directed his attention to this most important view of the Indian branch of our politics; and we hope he will pertinaciously persevere in his intention in bringing the interests of the m ill ion s,over whom we assert authority, under the mature and impartial con sideration of the British Parliament. We conceive that the interests of the natives should be the paramount object of all legislation for India ; for it is only by our studying their interests, and governing for their interests, that our influence in India can be retained. We have built our selves up there a house of cards, three stories high ; and every child knows that an edifice of such materials and such elevation, would require delicate touching, if touched at all. We are certainly of opinion, with all the faults of our Indian system,epe important point has creditably distin guished it from the Colonial policy of almost every other European Power; and that is—that we have in general kept in mind the interests and comforts of the governed. —Whether this arose from a predominating cunning, or a predominating generosity in our character, we can not decide. If any other power deserve to share this species of credit with us, we should think it were Portugal, judging from the accounts of their early proceedings in India; the histories of which, although mixed up with the tragedies of superstition and ignorance, seem to pro duce the conclusion, that, generally, the conduct of its Viceroys was intended for the good of the natives.— The mistake with them was, that they extended their benevolent intentions too far—even beyond the grave— which the British Government have certainly cautiously avoided. Other Powers in Europe have openly avowed the very false and abandoned doctrine, that Colonies were only to be governed, with the one object in view of increasing the Revenue, of what is singularly called the Mother Country ; and the result of all such policy fortunately is, the destruction of all revenue from the Colony so go verned. India, with regard to Great Britain, requires some other term than Colony to distinguish it ; and requires likewise a distinct species of policy towards it ; but the general principles of governing for the inte rests of the governed, is more essential for it, than for any thing which ever assumed the name of colony. Unfortunately the British Government, like all such mothers, although not the most unnatural, as we have admitted, has been sufficiently sordid and careful of itself; and our revenue, derivable from India, much too rapa ciously extorted for the comforts of the natives. The British have, therefore, made like others, some sad mistakes in what may be called, perhaps, their necessary rapacity. We are decidedly of opinion, and we have taken some pains to investigate the subject, even in the country, that the land revenue of British India has been the cause of much injustice—much improper outrage on the native rights of property. The famous land settlement of Marquis CORNWALLIS was based on error. It did good, because, perhaps, it had the advantage of fixing limits to robbery—of defining extortion ; but most assuredly much injustice, in the fullest definition of that word, was the result of the well-intended measure. The day is gone by, for retracing that step, as the injured thousands are no more : and property is in other hands, whom to deprive of it would be fresh spoliation : but if we conquer new dis tricts, and apply similar legislation to them, we are grossly infringing the rule of right, and the maxims of sound policy. We therefore recommend enquiry to be directed towards what is called the settlement of ceded districts—for a more important branch of the India question cannot employ the time of Parliament.

They are at pe dant 931 i and 94 to for next time. • In the Foreign Market, little or nothing doing u yet. We may daily , expect to hear of the taking of the Castle of the Emperor, by the French troops, in the vicinity of Algiers. Letters from Victoria, of the 28th June, state that the Spanish Government still continue to reinforce the army stationed on the Basque provinces. Two regi ments of infantry, and a regiment of cavalry, w►th ar tillery, had just arrived on the frontiers of Alava. Letters from Madrid, of the 18th June, say that water has become so scarce in that capital, as to be the object of contention on the preceding evening; persons bad been killed and wounded at the fountain of Are Maria in fighting for supply. The above letters also mention that serious dissentious had taken place between Ferdinand and his brother Don Carlos. A report prevailed at Paris of a change in the ministry —that Prince Polignac was to be appointed to the King's housebould, M. de Mortemart to be Minister o foreign affairs, M. Martignac, of the Interior, reigning Minister of the Marine, and Mother, Minister of Finance. CITY, HALT-PAST ONE.

"111141 COURT INTELL7OZTICIC. THE KOYAL FUNERAL. EARL MARSHAL'S OFFICE, Whitehall-yard, July 7, 1830. The King has been pleased to command that the Great Officers of State, his Majesty's filinisters, and the Officers of the Royal Household, who assist at the interment of his late most sacred Ma jesty King George the Fourth, of blessed memory, do appear in their state uniforms, black waistcoats, breeches, stockings, and buckles, uniform swords, with crape, and black feathers in their hats ; and that all Officers of the Army and Navy, who attend at the solemnity, appear in their respective full dress uniforms, pan taloons, and boots, with the mourning directed to be worn by them at Court, as notified in the Gaulte of the 28th of June last. The Bishops are to appear in their rockets; and all Peers, eldest sons of Peers, Privy Councillors, and others, who may not be in cluded in the above regulations, are to appear in full dress black. NORFOLK, Earl Marshal. CHURCH OF SCOTLAND. The Moderator of the late General Assembly has received an official communication, bearing that his Majesty, in his first Ge neral Council, on the 26th of June, did take and subscribe the oath underwritten, in presence of the Right Honourable the Lords of the Privy Council, and that one of the instruments containing the said oath has been transmitted to the Court of Sessions, to be recorded in the Books of Sederunt, and afterwards to be forthwith lodged In the Public Register of Scotland t _ _ " 1 William the Fourth, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and 'relent', Defender of the Faith, do faithfully promise and swear that I shall inviolably maintain and preserve the settle. meat of the true Protestant Religion, with the Government, Wor. ship, Discipline, Rights, and Privileges of the Church of Scotland, as established by the laws made there, in prosecution of the Claim of Right, and particularly by an Act !tabula "An Act for securing the Protestant Religion and Presbyterian Church Government," and by the Acts passed in Parliaments of both kingdoms for the union of the two kingdoms. So help me GOD. (Signed) " Wit.t.rax It." His present Majesty, it is now finally arranged, will follow the corpse of the late King at the funeral as chief mourner. The King will wear a mantle of purple cloth, and the Dukes of Cumberland, Sussex, Gloucester, and Prince Leopold, will wear mantles of black cloth. The mantles are now making by Mr. Webb, robe maker to his Majesty. The Marquis of Conyngham visited the Duke of Wel lington yesterday, at tho Treasury. The Spanish, Bavarian, Danish, and Hanoverian Mi nisters had interviews with the Earl of Aberdeen yester day at the Foreign Office. The Attorney and Solicitor Generals transacted busi ness with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at the Treasury. Despatches were sent off from the Colonial Office for Sir F. Adam, the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, and for the Hon. General Ponsonby, the Lieu tenant-Governor of Malta, on Wednesday evening. Mr. C. Greville, one of the Clerks of his Majesty's Privy Council, arrived in town on Wednesday evening from the Continent. Not only the Pavilion, but all the valuables of the late King, have been left to his present Majesty. An an nuity of 6,0001. payable to a respected and excellent lady, who, in early life, was the favoured companion of the King, and who enjoyed till the last his esteem, as she still does that of all who know ber, is, we hear, charged upon the Pavilion —Brighton Gazette. The heads of the Church are said to be in raptures at his Majesty's gracious reception of them : so different to what certain reports had led them to expect. The birth-day of the King and Queen occurring within eight days of each other—vi:. the 21st and 13th of Au gust—it is supposed that the keeping of one or both will be altered, as in the case of Queen Charlotte, and the late King, to suit the fashionable season, and promote the ad vantages of trade. INDIA AFFAIRS.—In the House of Commons last night, Mr. TRANT expressed his hope, that in the next Session of Parliament, the Committee appointed to take into consideration the affairs of the East India Com pany, would especially consider Indian affairs, with re ference to the interests of the natives of India. The sub ject to which he alluded, was the land revenue of what were technically called the ceded and conquered provinces under the government of Bengal. He was convinced that a flagrant breach of faith bad been committed with respect to the natives of India, as to the settlement of their lands. It was a question of extreme importance, and deserved the especial attention of the Committee on East India Affairs. The racing stud of the late King will be put up for sale at Tattersall's on Monday week. It is supposed, however, that the best of them will be bought in. The Earl of Northesk has left town for Edinburgh, pre paratory to the election of the sixteen Peers of Scotland ; for which the gallant Earl is again a candidate. The various trades which cater to the elegancies and luxuries of life are looking forward with sanguine expec tations to the revival of drawing-moms, and the other sunshine of Royalty, of which they have been so long de prived. The Goldsmiths' Company convened an especial Court, at their Hall, on Monday last, and came to the unani mous resolution to present a dutiful and loyal address of condolence to his Majesty, on the demise of the late King, and of congratulation on his present Majesty's accession to the throne. on th M e or ii y a ll o t n , at ti tt.

CHELMSFORD, JOLT 7.—Mr. Long Wellesley was received at this place in the most popular manner ; they i took the horses from his carriage and drew him out of the M own, and people from Hocking met him about a mile on this side, and drew him in, with a band of music in attendance. J. S Lumley, Esq. M.P. for this county, has arrived at the seat of Lord Rancliffe, Bunney, with the intention of paying his respects to his constituents, and soliciting a continuance of their support at the ensuing election ; and we are authorized to state, that it is Mr, Lumley's deter mination, in the event of a contest, to afford every free holder in the county an opportunity of recording his vote. —Newark Times. THE NEWARK MEMBERS' CANvsss.—Never was seen any thing so truly dull and cheerless, and must so have appeared to the members, as their canvass has been. With one or two exceptions, they have gene rally been attended with but few of influence or re spectability in the town ; and it is a matter of general surprise, giving Mr. Sadler credit for having some feeling, how he could conscientiously continue it, when his ears were frequently assailed with " How can you expect our support ? Are we spaniel dogs, that you think we fawn and cringe to the hand that would de stroy us ?" As for Mr. Willoughby, he is more to be pitied : he is attended by a respectable, and from all we have heard or known, a worthy and valuable man —we mean Mr. Handley ; and really we felt for him, for we saw him frequently stand aloof when his pre sence would have been desirable. Altogether the can vass has been the most grating and most unsatisfactory, and it will, probably, be a lesson to tyranny for the one party, and a warning to the other, that they sanction it by allowing themselves to be called the " United ln terest."—Newark Times. SUDBURY.—This borough will be the scene of a se vere contest. Mr. Walrond, one of the late members, has just taken the field. Mr. Macleod retires, and is canvassing for his native county in Scotland. An Essex gentleman intends to offer himself ; and a gentleman upon the independent interest has declared his intention to canvass the electors immediately ofter the funeral of his late Majesty. Sir John Walsh has been very favour ably received upon the corporation interest, and has every prospect of success. HONITON. —Sir George Warrender and Mr. Guest have commenced an active canvass for this borough, Mr. Lott, one of the present members, having announced his intention of retiring. COLCHESTER.—There was a meeting of the freemen of Colchester at the Kent and Esssex Tavern on Mon day, at which a resolution was proposed, disapproving of the political conduct of Mr. D. W. Harvey ; but that gentleman having moved that all persons who were ad verse to him should leave the room, it appeared that he had a large majority of supporters. OXFORD (University)--We understand that Sir R. Peel has declined to stand anothe. •antest. This deter mination is ascribed iu some journals to an intention of elevating the right hon. baronet to the peerage—an ho nour which has been repeatedly offered to him and as re peatedly declined, from unwillingness to be ennobled dur ing the lifetime of his father. This reason, it is true, no longer exists; but when it is considered that Sir R. Peel is how the sole stay of the Government in the Lower House, it seems unlikely that the present moment should be chosen to remove him from it. To an Irish peerage, however, to which Sir Robert's long services no doubt entitle him, this objection does not apply ' • and it would be a stepping-stone, whenever he might feel disposed to avail himeelf of it, for his elevation to the House of Lords. —Brighton Gazette. It appears by the Evening Mail, that the " friends of Mr. George Moore" are a-begging for a second Protes tant candidate. They will have cause to rejoice if they succeed in returning the tactician of the Registry-office, and the defender of the worst shines of the corporation. How grossly absurd it is to continue, at this period, the foolish slang of " Protestant candidate !" What matters it now the creed to which an aspirant for the representa tion of the people may belong, provided he have the ability and the disposition to be useful to his country The day has happily passed when the people could be gulled by sectarian recommendation.—Deblin Morning Advertiser. Mr. Steel has published an address to the trades of this city, soliciting their support for Mr. Spring Rice at the ensuing election.—Limerick Chronicle. Mr. Henry Grattan, and Mr. Shaw, the Recorder, have already addressed the electors of Dublin, anti other candidates are spoken of.—Dublin Morning Advertiser. A FAc . r.—Notwithstanding the general correctness of Parliamentary reports, Mr. Sadler, Mr. Trent, and some other members, engaged a Mr. Hodges specially to re- - 1 port their speeches verbatim ; but upon reading them when so reported, they were found to be such sheer non sense, that the practice was speedily discontinued.— Newark Times. 'fhe spirit of discord got among a religious congrega tion in this City, not many hundred yards from the Con duit, on Thursday evening last—inasmuch that the Preacher took refuge in the pulpit stairs, a certain officio/ member in the clerk's desk, and the pastor, with a strong box, were at length guarded home by constables. We hope no serious mischief is brewing among those worthy members of the font.—lieter Alfred. STATE OF THE Pooa.—Our recent accounts have not been exaggerated—our suggestions, we are happy to find, are about being acted upon. To-morrow a meeting takes place in the Town-hall, for the purpose of adopting means for the alleviation of the distress so generally and severely felt by the poor at present. We have been informed that the distress amongst the poor labouring class in the country is beyond description, and that while families have been compelled to become ineedieente.-i- Fermanagh Reporter of Thursday. In several districts of the Queen's County the lower orders are actually perishing from famine ! They haat been tempted into the commission of outrages by thek distress, and their proceedings are now assuming a me* dangerous character from a secret system of organisa tion which seems to regulate them. Should their out firings not be mitigated by some speed relief, there will be no safety for property, perhaps for life, in this county ; as it is, the state of things is frightful.--Dub lin Morning Adoertiter. 71 be exertions which have been made by the Relief Committee to give food and employment to the.= Clonmel, have been unremitting ; Over 1,000 have been fed twice each day during the last week, and between 300 and 400 persons employed in shi roads and other useful works in this town hood ; the Connie' Relief Fund now amounts to upwards of 8001. but the weekly expenditure at preeent . is nearly 1501.— Tipperary Free Press. asocalia day moil that there are Dot letionlitielle— reesitred at the Atireat reetropoUtan pekico•oltes of boats Mohr beematelea Gas Mellott peratatt sad the edjohlhtt _delatthis, se that the ra04410 :M to w isest 'Wad • ;14 4 11:: ~ti~F If i f ~
