Our correspondent at Paris informs us, by letter just -eveived by estafette, that forty thousand men, of the National Guard, accompanied by the two Commissioners, who had previously gone to the Kt No, went to Rambouil :et. This large force had the effect of instantly bringing CIIARLES the Tenth to a decision. Ile has relinquished power ; and is to proceed to Cherbourg to embark. On the evening of the 4th, Paris was in perfect tran quillity. We have received another express from Paris announc ing that the mission to the King has succeeded, and that he has consented to depart without further opposition for Cherbourg.—The following is the off►cial letter of the to the Duke of Orleans, announcing " RAMBOUILLET, Atm. 3. on 1111 l the fact . " Monseigneur—lt is with joy that we announce the success of our mission. The King has determined to depart with all his family. We shall bring you all the incidents and details of the journey with the greatest precision. May it terminate happy ! "We follow the route to Cherbourg. All the troops are directed to march on Epernon. To-morrow morning it will be decided which shall definitively follow the King. " We are, with respect and devotion, " Your Royal Highness's " Most humble and obedient servants, " DR SCHONZN, " LE MARECHAL MAISON, " ODILLON BARROT." The despatch which encloses the above official letter .ays :—" It is understood to be the King's intention to embaik for the United states of America. The King's re-olution has evidently been hastened by the approach of ike armed force towards Paris." We this day present our readers with extracts from letters of the 4th instant, from our correspondent at Paris, which will be found to contain a very complete account of every thing up to that date.— Our letters are se full of curious matter that we find it difficult to make the selection. We have determined, ligever, in conveying our intelligence to the public, to reverse the chronological order, and place that first which is the most important and most proximate in date. We are sure, however, that our readers will find the whole de ciil6 of our Correspondent highly interesting, and, we hope, not deficient in any respect, when put into compa- rison wit► the details furnished by any of our cotem. pm s:•ies. FNery one anxious for the tranquillity of that brave pnple, who have so lately shown themselves more than even poets and orators have ever pictured of all teat is courageous and patriotic, must have heard with slum of any interruption having occured on the part of the weak Monarch, as to the immediate adoption of hie only becoming course, which was to take his de parture as speedily as possible. We are assured, however, by a private letter which we have just seen, that the Com missioners found him unmoved, until the news that the troops were approaching from Paris, brought hin► to his seuses—if ever he had any—as stated above. He left for Cherbourg, where two ships await him. PARIS, August 4. —...ip.—. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. At 11 o'clock among the Deputies who had arrived a the Chambers, were M. M. Laine de Villevesque and Bondy, Questors of the former Chamber; Messrs. De marcay, Martin de Sade, Mechin, Labbey de Pompieres, Dupin senior, and Dupin junior. It was remarked to the Questors, that a portion of the crimson velvet, with the Fleur-de-Lis, was visible—they immediately covered it with two large tri-coloured flags. Upon the entrance of M. Berryer some slight murmurs were heard ; he sa luted M. Laing de Villevesque ; but, on the appearance of M. Rogers, those two Deputies for Puy and Corsica entered into conversation aside, and were joined by M. .Iscquinot do Pampelune. The ranks of the extreme gonelie became very numerous, and M. Lafitte (who being lame from a sprain, came in a sedan), gathered about him a circle of friends, to whom he spoke with great warmth for more than a quarter of an hour. Of the Peers—M. de Chateaubriand, Chaptal, De Choiseul, and Pasquier, were the first to enter. M. Sebastiani accosted them, and a long conversation ensued. In another part of the Chamber, Messrs. De Martignac, De St. Cricq Vatimesnil, and Bourdeau, composed a group. After a few minutes' conversation, the three Ite.t mingled with the members of the centre gauge, now become very numerous. Messrs. Mau quin, Chardet, Girod de l'Ain, Benjamin Constant, Dupont de l'Eure, and Daunon took their usual seats. General Lafayette entered 'the Chamber and seated himself in the midst of his friends. Almost . at the same instant M. Hyde de Neuville , took•his place near Messrs. Delatot, Agin, Mestadior, and Boisbertraid. At this time the number of Members assembled were — Centre Gauche, 90 ; Coti Gauche, 9d section, 52 ; PA- U Mt. Gauche, 39 ; Centre Drojt, 13—making in the ibore . 194. The Peers present amounted to 65. A discharge of artillery from the Hotel des Invalido; an- pounced the arrival of the Lieutenant-General of the Kingdom at one o'clock. The Peers and Deputies ar- ranged themselves in their places, and a profound silence reigned in the Assembly. The deputation met the Duke at the foot of the stairs, and he entered the Chamber uncovered, in the uniform of a Lieu tenant-General. He was greeted with loud cheers of Vive le Duc d'Orleans ! Viva le Lieutenant-General ! Vive la Liberte ! Vive la Charte ! from all parts of the Assembly, in which the occupants of the Tribunes joined, the ladies waving their handkerchiefs. The Duchess of Orleans, and her daughters, took their seats in the gal- lery reserved for them. The young Duke de Nemours took a seat on the left of the throne. The Duke of Or leans, after having saluted the Assembly, covered his head, seated himself on the right of the vacant throne, and having invited the Peers and Deputies to be seated, ' delivered, with a clear voice, the following Speech : " Peers and Deputies, " Paris, disturbed in its repose by a deplorable viola tion of the Charter and the laws, defended then► with an heroic courage ! In the midst of this bloody struggle, none of the guarantees of social order subsisted any longer. Persons, property, rights, all that is precious and dear to men and citizens was exposed to the most imminent danger. " In this absence of all public power, the wishes of my fellow citizens were directed towards me. They have deemed me worthy of concurring with them in saving the country ; they have invited me to exercise the functions of Lieutenant-General of the kingdom. "Their cause appeared to me just; the perils immense, the necessity imperative, my duty sacred. I hastened into the midst of this valiant :people, followed by my family, and wearing those colours which, for the second time, have marked among us the triumph of liberty.— (Bravo ! bravo ! from all parts.) " I hastened with the firm resolution of devoting my efforts to every thing that circumstances might require of me, in the situation in which they have placed me, to re establish the empire of the laws, save liberty in danger, and render impossible the recurrence of such great evils, by securing for ever tl.e power of that Charter, whose name, invoked during the combat, was repeated after victory.—(Repeated cries of bravo !) _ _ " In the fulfilment of this noble task, it belongs to the Chambers to guide me. Every right should be substantially guaranteed, all the institutions necessary to the full and free exercise of them should receive the developements of which they have need. Attached with my whole heart, and from conviction, to the principles of a free Government, I deem it my duty even now to call your attention to the organizaiton of the National Guards, the application of the Jury to offences by the press, the formation of departmental and municipal ad ministrations ; and above all, to the 14th Article of the Charter, which has been so odiously interpreted. (Bravo ! bravo ! from aU parts.) " With these sentiments, gentlemen, I come to open this Session. " The past is painful to me ; I deplore disasters which I should have wished to have prevented ; but in the midst of this magnanimous excitement of the capital, and of all other French cities,—at the aspect of order reviving with astonishing promptitude, a resistance free from all excess, a just national pride affects my heart, and 1 look with confidence upon the future destiny of the country. "Yes, Gentlemen, this France, so dear to me, will be happy and free : it will prove to Europe that, solely en gaged in promoting its internal prosperity, it cherishes peace as much as liberty, and only wishes for the happi ness and repose of its neighbours. " Respect for the rights of all, attention to every in terest, and good faith in the Government, are the best means of disarming parties, and of restoring to the pub lic mind that confidence, and to the institutions that sta bility, which are the only sure pledges of the happiness of the people, and the power of States. " Peers snd Deputies ! As soon as the Chambers are constituted, I will communicate to you the act of abdica tion of his Majesty King Charles X. by the same act, his Royal Highness Louis Antoine of France, the Dauphin, likewise renounces his rights. This act was placed in my hands last night, 2nd of August, at 11 o'clock. This morning I have ordered it to be deposited among the archives of the Chambers of Peers, and to be in serted in the official part of the Moniteur." At the conclusion of the speech, the acclamations were redoubled, with which the Duke appeared to be much affected. He bowed to the Assembly several times, and withdrew with his son, the deputation attending him to the door. The procession is just described in the paper as I communicated to you yesterday. When the band of the National Guard arrived opposite the barracks of the ci-devant Garde. du Corps, they played the airs of the " Marseilloise" and " La Victoire." The following is the act deposited, by order of the Duke of Orleans, among the archives of the Chamber of Peers : it is directed, " To my Cousin, the Duke of Orleans, Lieute nant-General of the Kingdom." (ovrlclAL.) " The following act, superscribed To my cousin the Duke of ORLEANS, lieutenant-General of the King dom,' has been deposited, by order of the Duke of ORLEANS, in the archives of the Chamber of Peers:— "' RAN BOUILLET, Auo.2. My Cousin,--I am too profoundly grieved by the evils which aMict or might threaten my people not to have sought a means of preventing them. I h ave there fore taken the resolution to abdicate the crown in favour of my grandson, the Duke do BORDEAUX. " 6 The DAUPHIN, who partakes my sentiments, also renounces his rights in favour of his nephew. " • You will have then, in your quality of Lieutenant- General of the Kingdom, to cause the accession of H E x AT V. to the Crown to be proclaimed. You will take, be sides, all the measures which concern you to regulate the form of the Government during the minority of the new King. Here I confine myself to making known these dispositions : it is a means to avoid many evils. " You will communicate my intentions to the Di plomatic Body; and you will acquaint me as soon as pos sible with the proclamation by which my grandson shall bave been recognized King of FRANCE, under the name of IlExity V. "' I charge Lieutenant-General Viscount de FOISSA C LA TOUR to deliver this letter to you. He has orders to settle with you the arrangements to be made in favour of the persons who have accompanied me, as well as the ar rangements necessary for what concerns me and the rest of the family. " We will afterwards regulate the other measures which will be the consequence of the change of the reign. " ' I repeat to you, my cousin, the assurances of the sentiments with which I am your affectionate cousin, " ' CHARLES LOUIS ANTOINE.' The Constitutionell of this day, August 4, makes the following remarks upon this act of the Krrin :—" In reading this piece, our emotions vascillate between in dignation and pity. What! CHARLES the Tenth pre serves audacity enough, to declare himself deeply pained at the evils which afflict, or threaten ir is people ! And who, then, has produced these evils ?—Wbo, then, has sabred and shot the heroic population of Paris? His PEOPLE ! Thanks to Heaven !—thanks to his courage, the people of France belong to no person. What excessive impu dence ! CHARLES the Tenth, in speaking of the French nation, still says His People !! ! and his people, he would bind, like a vile flock, to that child, of which the birth was a mystery of iniquity ! to that child, so unhappily born—to that child, of whom we cannot complain, because he is not guilty—to that child, who, if be is the grandson of CIIA.RLF.S the Tenth, would be marked for universal retribution. You ab dicate ! We reject your abdication. You are cast out— You are legitimately ousted. France rejects you, your son, and your pretended grandson. It wants nothing more of you : Go—that your presence may no longer disgrace the soil of France. You have surpassed Charles the Ninth; and posterity will only do justice when it distinguishes you as Cu ARLES—the perjured and the sanguinary." I suppose you are aware, adds our Correspondent, of the allusions made in these remarks of the Constitu , tionnel. At the birth of the Duke of BORDEAUX, i was currently reported that the Duchess de BERRI had never been pregnant ; and that the child was placed there merely to secure the succession, as the other child of the Duchess of BERRI is a daughter, who, by the Freneh law, is excluded from the throne. You will recollect that the Duke of BORDEAUX is a posthu mous child. At the time of his birth, the Duke of OR LEANS lodged a protest on the subject with a notary in Paris, which document is still in existence. In allusion to this circumstance, some wag has rubbed out the name of a fine street by the Tuilleries, called the Rue de la Duc de Bourdeaux, and written in letters a foot long, Rue de I'Enfant Trouvi. The following is said to be authentic : If so, it is a curious document, as the Duc of ORLEANS bad exercised the functions of Lieutenant-General of the Kingdom two days, when it was received. " ' The KING, wishing to put an end to the troubles which exist in the capital and a part of France—depend ing, besides, on the sincere attachment of his cousin the Duke of ORLEANS, nominates him Lieutenant-General of the Kingdom. " The Kix° having thought fit to withdraw his ordi nances of the 25th of July, approves of the meeting of the Chambers on the 6d of August, and is willing to hope that they will re-establish tranquillity in France. " ' The Kum will wait here for the return of the person who is commissioned to carry this declaration to Paris. " If any attempt should be made against the life of the KING, or of his family, or against their liberty, he will defend himself to death. " Done at Rambouillet, the Ist of August, 1830. " ' CHARLES: " The following placard was posted up at the Palais Royale this morning:— - - - - - - " Letter of the Duke of Orleans to Marshal Mortier, during the Hundred Days, on relinquishing the com mand at Lille:— " I return to you, my dear Marshal, the command that I have had the honour to bear in the Department of the North. lam too good a Frenchman to sacrifice the interests of France, as new misfortunes force me to quit it. Igo to bury myself in retirement : nothing remains for me but to relieve you from all the orders that I have given you, in recommending you to do all that your own excellent judgment and patriotism may suggest for the interest of France." " Napoleon, after having read this letter, turned to the Duke de Bassano, and said, ' You see what the Duke of Orleans writes to the Duke de Beason° : it does him great honour; he always had the soul of a true French man.'—The Duke of Orleans, in parting from his offi cers, said, My comrades ! take back the national cockade—l never had the honour to bear it, and I would still be ambitious to bear it." This is an exact copy of the letter, notes and all ; of course it has been placed there to make the Duke po. ptilar, and to bring the letter fresh to the minds of the French people. It is worth your publishing, if not an ticipated by other papers, which I think will be impos sible; 1, however, obser ved an Englishman engaged like myself in making a copy in pencil. I copy the follow ing from the Constitutionael "What will be the result of recent events ? is a question which every one will ask himself. To solve this question, it is necessary to establish one fact. ' "We are not in 1810, nor in 1814, nor in 1815, nor in 1820. We are not even in 1830. A new era for France began on the 30th of July. For the present ge neration, who have just secured their liberty, and on whom depend the future state and glory of their country, the reign of Charles X. is almost as remote as that of Charles IX. or of Look XI. Ages have elapsed since the 26th of July. The King of thirty-two millions of people, dethroned in forty-eight hours—alone—abandoned, is seeking, perhaps, without being able to find it, an outlet to flee from the country, inundated by his command with the blood of those whom he dared to call his children ; legal order replaces the sanguinary system of coups d'etat Jesuitism and religious hypochrisy are driven away by the sword ; and, in fine, a great nation majestically re sumes its rights always sworn to—always disregarded, and consecrates by its trophies and by immense sacrifices, the only legitimate sovereignty, that of the rights of the people.' FRANCE. PRIVATE LETTER. PARIS, AUGUST 3, Two o'Clock, p.m I have just attended the opening of the Chambers by the Duke of Orleans, in his character of Lieutenant- General of the kingdom. The speech he pronounced has not yet been printed, but the inclosed is a faithful trans cript of its contents. You will observe that be invoke s the Charter; he announces his intention to improve : bw this is far from satisfying the public, most of whom wish for a Bill of Rights, as the primary condition of this Prince's elevation, Others are desirous of different measures ; but, in general, we ought to do the justice to the public to allow that, in the midst of the divisions iuseparable from the crisis in which we are placed at present, it evinces the highest elevation of mind, and the most remarkable good sense, in growing animated upon secondary political questions, whenever the liberty of the country is at stake. The triumph of the country becomes daily more decisive and brilliant. With the exception of the South of France, from whence there was not sufficient time to receive accounts, all the rest of the kingdom has mounted the tri-coloured cockade, called the National Guard out, and disowned the perjured and prostrate Government of Charles X. Lust night de spatches were received from Bordeaux and Metz. Both these important places have declared in favour of the Provisional Government. There is little doubt but that all France, without any exception, will follow this ox ample. The treasures front Algiers, the army com manded by Bourmont, and the remainder of the Swiss troops who accompany the Court, are the only supporters Charles X. can at present rely upon. They will prove impotent against the force, the union, and energy of the national mind. The population of the country is every where in arms, their watchword being " Vive la Liberte." Charles X. is at Rambouillet, twelve leagues from Paris. During the course of yesterday (as you will perceive from the inclosed) he abdicated. In consequence of this, a Commission, consisting of Messrs. de Schoner, Odillon, Barrot, the Duke de Coigny, Jacqueminot, and Maisons, proceeded to join hint, to watch over his safety, and to accompany hint to the place of his em barkation. This morning the Commission returned with in our walls. Charles X. has changed his mind. He pre tends to remain firm, and to renew his exploits at the head of 6,000 Swiss of the Guards, who remain with him, for all the French troops have left him. The soldiers arrive every moment by hundreds; they present themselves to the staff, and take the oaths of allegiance to the na tion. This morning a regiment of Chasseurs of tho Guard, with their Colonel at their head, all wearing the tri-coloured cockade, made their entry into Paris. Fif teen thousand National Guards are at this moment mus tering in the Champs Elysees. They will march to Ram bouillet, to enforce the retreat of the old perjurer. doubt whether he can cut his way through to the place of his embarkation. One of our countrymen, who has been established for a number of years as a printer in Paris, and who has a large establishment in London, shut up his office, and fought on the Boulevards, on the 28th, as a tirailleur, and thus procured several muskets for his men. On the 29th, accompanied by some friends and several of his workmen, he was at the attack of the Louvre, among the first who entered the Tuileries, and afterwards attacked the Royal Guards in trenched in houses in the Rue St. Nicaise and St. Ho nore. From the corner of the street they kept up an incessant fire for nearly an hour, till at length he called on the others to follow him, and rushed through a shower of bullets, into tho house in possession of the Guards, who, seeing themselves thus attacked within and from without, surrendered, and it was our countryman who received from them upwards of 60 muskets, officers' sa bres, &c. He afterwards employed every effort to save these men, but succeeded in saving very few, for, the firing still continuing from the third story, the people were so furious that they slew every guard that they could approach. Two of his men were killed ; one of them has left three infant children. We have the pleasure to announce to his numerous friends in this country, that he himself escaped miraculously without a scratch. On his return home at night, besmeared with blood and gore, he was loudly greeted by his fellow citizens and neigh hours. Mr. Pouche, formerly letter-founder in London, was on the spot where the above workmen were killed, and generously gave 200 f. to the widow.—Herald. PARIS, AUG. 3. At length (should I not rather say already ?) the streets of Paris are restored to a state of comparative tranquil lity. The barriers which were thrown up at the crossing of every street, to impede the march of the military, and give a better chance of success to the resistance of the citizens, are now rapidly disappearing. The tiles, and hrieks, and paving stones, which were used with such dreadful effect, as weapons of offence, from the roofs and upper stories of the houses, are in a great measure cleared away, and it is now possible for carriages to circulate through all the principal thoroughfares. Business is ra pidly assuming its wonted regularity ; transactions in the public funds are effected under the colonnade of the Ex change, which will itself be re-opened to-morrow for the purposes of business. Artisans and manufacturers of all kinds have returned to their accustomed employ ; and yesterday evening the chairs on the Boulevards, and in the gardens of the Tuileries, were occupied by crowds of those fair loungers, who at this delightful season of the year impart such an air of gaiety to our places of public resort. Brave and resolute as the French have ever shown them selves in the hour of need, it is not a little surprising to our more phlegmatic countrymen to observe with what perfect facility they can apply their minds to every change of circumstances. If you stop to look at some of those half-finished monuments which are to be met with in so many quarters of Paris, so lately destined to perpetuate the restoration of their ancient race of kings, and are in duced, perhaps, to smile when you see them surmounted by the three-coloured banner, with all its incongruous associations, you will be sure to hear that its destination is now to be changed, and that it is hereafter to be con secrated to the honour of some living patriot, or to the memory of those illustrious victims who have died ist ' the cause of liberty. If you express au apprehen sion lest the strength of the country should be dissi pated by differences and dissensions as to its future form of government, you hear but one sentiment in reply, and that is an admission of the existence of a variety of shades of opinion among the people, accompanied with an as surance of the readiness of all parties to sacrifice a portion of their own peculiar views for the sake of securing unanimity and moderation. To illustrate this idea I may mention what occurred tome so late as yesternight, among a party of individuals the most influential of whom have long been known to me as decidedly republican in their ideas. One of them in particular, who has travelled, and for some time resided in the United States of America, and who is known to have there imbibed the most decided opinions as to the superior advantages of a democratical form of government in regard to strength as well as to economy, was the first to declare his conviction that the frame of society in France, and above all the want of political information among the inhabitants of the provinces, made it quite unfit at the present crisis in
