snd regiments of the line every where strongly posted, and the utmost i pprelicnsions expressed by the public for the peace of the metropolis t hrough the night. Tile King, however, put an end to all these apprehensions by a coup iit of his own. He went forth instantly from his palace, accom. - - „Hied by his second son, the Duke de Nemours, and threw himself at once in the crowded streets among the people, and his appeal to their „ sou r props had at once the desired effect, and his enthusiastic weep equalled the poet's description of that of your Duke of Mon mouth in Devonshire; but with more chances, I trust, of a successful result. _ _ . At night fall, as I have already mentioned, the crowds rather in. creased, as was expected, and the National Guards had difficulties which, amongst less disciplined men, might have led to serious conic. qu ences, in keeping the streets clear in the neighbourhood of the Palais Royal and the Tuileries. The Rue St. Vonore, at five o'clock, .:ontained a dense mass of people, crying, " Death to Polignac ;" and at one time h looked as if the Guards must have charged bayonets to open a communication. Through the extreme sclf.possesaion of the afficer in command this extremity was not resorted to, and a passage for :Ix corps was found without more violence than the upsctttng of a few persons who evinced a refractory spirit. In the whole hex of stteets, from the Place Vendome to the Place des Vietoires, the instant night set in, the houses were, up to the third floor s in some of them, illuminated, so that no advantage could have been de rived by rioters from the destruction of the lamps, and in this direction I did not see one lamp broken. An hour later in the evening, the appei.rance of the city was singu larly picturesque, the ballustrades of the Tuileries, Louvre, and Palais Royal were closed, and each of these strong posts was filled by regi ments of the line, and National Guards of all corps; the night was ere:, cold, and tempestuous, and the troops early and every where lighted their bivuuaek fires upon the damp ground. The smothering volones of smoke which arose from piles of crackling wood ; tl:e showers of sparks constantly emitted, as they stirred the burning em bers with their bayonets ; the reflection of the flames upon the bristling bro.:, and contrasted uniforms of the many regiments, cavalry and in. fantry, enclosed in squares and circles to imbibe the warmth of they wa:ch.fires, and the light thus shed upon the.surrounding houses, under the opaque and dense canopy of a dark sky, presented the most extraor. Binary spectacle I ever witnessed ; it was not that of a town actually taken by storm, but it looked not unlike that of one so taken when the pillage was over. In the Palais Royal, as usual, at eight o'clock, the regiments of the line commenced ehaunting the Parisian hymn, with of course, the dissonant chorus of the moh, who were pent up in the mde walks without the iron railings. In the midst of these vocal per. Mrraances, around some of the bivouack fires in the Royal court of the Ptlais Royal, the soldiers dispersed themselves In dancing circles, thus they went on, singing and prancing like Indians at a fe.i. real of the desert. While this strange exhibition of military pastimes was relieving the ireommoding pressure of a wet night, shouts of " Long live the King," vere at nine o'clock heard from the soldiets immediately under the endows of the Royal apartments. The King and his sons appeared then on the balcony with a train of servants and flambeaus, and hosed to the noisy throng of his subjects, who had been deafening him' t b;:ore with their gambols. Ilia Majesty then descended into the bent and rear courts of his Palace, and conversed and mingled with the people. The shouts of Vive le Roi !" were now tremendous, and if the population of the Palais Royal fairly represent the opinion of Frances so King in Europe has a more devoted race of subjects than Phillip the First. Allured, I presume, by this enthusiastic reception, or perhaps im pelled by his own frank and off-hand demeanour, the King called for the malty of the National Guard, who were in attendance, and who were certainly as fine a body of men as I ever saw, and placing him. self at their head, accompanied by his younger son the Duke of Ne. moms, he rode forth into the streets of Paris, to execute what I have called his own coup (eclat. The trumpets sounded a royal flourish, and the officers in front, among whom were several of the Marshals of France, as they rode into the rue des Petits Champs, born the Rue Valois, In clearing the Palais Royal, exclaimed, " The Ring is behind us, in the cloak and without his hat ; the Duke of Nemours rides with us." The people who lined the streets, cheered the Royal Family, with enthusiasm. " Long live the King," " Long live the National Guard," was the universal cry, and the burst of enthusiw um along the whole line of the streets through which the King passed for two hours, was tremendously decisive of his Majesty's personal its. luence. As the streets were every where strongly picketted by the different corps of the National Guard, the drums beat up at all corners as the Ling passed; the Polytechnic scholars, and the students of the differ. tot universities of Paris, each class wearing in their hats the cards of their respective classes, joined the parading corps of the National Guards, and determined, by a demonstration whtch could not be leis taken, to wipe off the scandalous imputation some malcontents bad been for the last two days passing upon them,—that they were leagued with counter-revolutionary bands. These young men every. there shouted, '• Long live the King; liberty and public order 1 a The King seemed, as indeed he well might, to be delighted at his reception. In the narrow streets he was closely pent by the people, with many of whom he shook hands, and familiarly conversed, and from all of whom, as far as I observed, he received proofs of warm attach ment. ii Paris be, as some will tell you, the focus of conspiracies at this moment against the dynasty of Philip 1. the passage of the King through every street, and in the dead of night, &treaded abundant oppor. tunitics to these conspirators to execute their purp,re, and veil the new throne in mourning ; but no hand was raised except to pay him homage —re evict aas turd except in his applause. The night, a• I have men :toned, uas w‘t anti tempestuous. The King, though wrapped in a loose cloak : lA.4llra t•at in his haat t:.rt ugh this Street of perambulation for two :lours, e.t.a 'al r., siq,le intance was an obnoxious phrase ever heard by Ott royal ear, altimegh an hour before the air resounded with phrases, ti.ich imulted the kingly authority. The moment this procession was act, ti.c purple cv. ry where exclaimed, " The counter movement is esevover ; tnaaquiility is restored." The extracts ;hitch I hubjoin from this day's Paris papers, will con. re) to you further particulars of the state of opinions and occurrences in this grciit city. I 0116iiI to tell you at once, from information upon which I can rely, dam d'art* was, in vont of fcct, for the last week the great centre of muspiracies. There I aye been always, for the last 30 years, in this sky, hosts of people, police.agents, spies, gamblers, young men of hmken fortunes, who have used every passing grievance to create a timult. Such a revulmion as the last—such a process so bungled and mismanaged throughout as that of the late trial, could not fail , to furnish the eiemehts of combustion to all lire-worshippers; they, as is ever the case, contrived to mix up with their classes, the young, the giddy, and the impatiently well-principled perm pie, who look at the work of politics, like that of anchor-forging, and expect that metal, once in the furnace, must be hammered into shape,' anei form at the first heat. It may be also suited, now that the great mischief is ore., that there was great danger in bringing the National Guards into collision with the people. Several corp► were formed In the fauslaturg of small shopkeepers, deperalaut a good deal upon the worknoa. fcr their trade; the disbanded scciety of the friends of the people welt also dequt.tely represented in the National Guard, and it was well kLusn to General I.Alic3ette that great bodies or his solelt.rs hati declared they would protect the prisoners it they c iuld, •• but that for such culprits, they would not spill blood, or provoke the extremity of a counter-revolution." These express:6ns were even conveyed in writing, and by officers, too, accompanied with most threatening and dangerous comments both to the king 4:1 the genetal-in.citief. I have heard of letters of this kind written both to the highest civil and military authorities, which In say other country (and I think they ought in this) would have brought the, writers of them at once to A drum-head court-martial, and, on proof of the identity and handwriting, have caused their execution on the °Pm. Napoleon would have been a very ugly customer for the readers of such commodities ; but these are, happily, different thnes. The circumstances attendant upon the explosion of the late eonspi agora 7..ther singular, and as 1 have them front indisputable authority, thel are worth recording. The governnient had, since tbs revolution if July, been harassed with communications of counter Abets, on tho part or the adherents of the exiled family, and of the extreme old Church Or Jesuit party. Upon the agitation of these co-acting parties, was en petted a compound element of a most extraordinary character; the broken gendarmes, the disbanded military, and restless half.pay offi cers, with two or three generals of well.known intrigue, all whispered together the chance of a push in the name of young Napoleon ; with I these for the moment acted the republican party, who hoped, u the storm gathered, to grow stronger, and thee— " Ride in the whirlwind, and direct the storm." The latter had undoubtedly, from the nature of the late revolution, the strongest party of all, if they had good addres., .end promptitude of action ; but they lost their cause (happily, fis r. ould have at once embroiled all Europe in war), and then became li::.: the other, • scat tered faction. All the Ingredients, however, remain:; of the wont part of these political clubs and faction+, and as the teal wark of the revo lution had been done by the workmen of Paris, they availed themselves of the pampered tributes of praise of which they were long the objects, and endeavoured by means of their own, to extend a system of organi sation not exac•ly consistent with integrity of good municipal rule. The means they employed, were those of your benefit societies, each class had its own club, time and place of meeting, and fund ; all, however, under the name of trade purposes. It was not easy to know how the pay chest was furnished, the em ployment of these people being indifferent, but supplied it was; and it struck the Government as a singular peculiarity, that immediately after the late revolution, although a reward was offered for each gun, sword, and bayonet, picked up or snatched during that combat, so few were brought into the Hotel de Ville, although for months a market was held of these military weapons by the people on the quays. You may remember seeing fellows, last summer, selling the swath and accoutrements of the beaten Swiss and Garde du Corps, near the Pont Neuf, dressed in the breast-plates and armour of she Cuirassiers. This was, to the Government, I; have said, a source of uneasiness, and the police did not buy up these implements of mischief with the alit-ray they might. During toe whole of the last fortnight the police were engaged in seizing small depots of powder in the little workshops of the tauxbourg St. Antoine; the groups of workmen who mingled, as I have before mentioned to you, among the National Guards, on Monday and Wednesday evenings, in their conversation, talked freely of a republic and young Napoleon, but said they did not want a House of Peers, nor a large pension list ; adding, that the best plan would be not to congregate around the Luxembourg, but to attack the Peers' houses in detail, and plunder the mansions of the rich, until they compelled them to concede a more equal division of the property. The great bulk of the National Guards being shopkeepers, with something to lose, took these hints as might have been expected ; they saw that the reign of principle was to yield to a rush for plunder, in which the bounds of the rich and middling classes were not likely to be very accurately defined or respected ; they hinted to their officers that this was an altered state of things, to destroy and not to repair ; and from that moment (Monday night) as fast as the mob broke the lamps in the Rue de Seine and small streets, the shop-keepers who inhabited them immediately put forth lamps and candles and flambeaux from their first-floor windows, and a line of prin ciple as well as of action was at once drawn between the protecting and the insurrectionary classes of society, which put an end to the hopes of the latter. The arrests still go on, but I cannot learn that any person of consideration is proved to be among the conspirators. All the adhe rents of the Bourbons are under surveillance : the Bonapartists Souk will soon dispose of in the army ; and thousands of the workmen will be employed, as soon as the French Government can raise funds, upon the lines for the fortifications of Paris, and the improvement of the roads, which are really a disgrace to the nation. With reference to the late trial of the ex-ministers, their sentence was not tormally read to them, as I mentioned yesterday, on the same night of its adoption. I subjoin the particulars. It was, however, substantively communicated to them by General Daumesnli on the same night. I have already mentioned there was only one Peer (I believe a near relation of Polignac) for a general verdict of not guilty ; 7 were for capital punishment of Polignac; 4 for that of Peyronnet. But you in England will think it rather singular, after reading so much of the value of your constitutional law, as used and re ferred to in these trials, and of the importance attached to it in this country, that so little real sense of these important principles had the French House of Peers, that there was actually a meeting of a great number of their body on the Sunday night---where do you think Pat the house of the President, Baron Pannier, where they in private discussed, and, if I am not misinformed, actually agreed upon, the general heads of the sentence, and forms of proceeding in giving it, which they were on the following day judicially to deter. mine upon. At this meeting, the Duke de Broglie and M. de &t -rent., two very able peers, took an active part. It was said, too, that the King was a party to the calling of this meeting, to assist in finishing the process on the Tuesday night. The purpose, no doubt, was humane and laudable, but what a no. tion it conveys of the impression which your constitutional law makes upon the minds of French legisistor.. I hope the whole statement is unttue. I have it, however, from a quarter not likely to be misinformed. The reports this morning from all the military posts of the metro- polis lut night, are favourable to the public tranquillity. Y. P.S. There is no news whatever this morning from Poland or Russia. SPIRI OF THE JOURNAL& CHRONICLL—On the 25th of November, the French Revolution was celebrated In New York, by salutes from the battery, processions of Mayor and Corporation, High Sheriff, Governor and Lieut..oovernor of the State, and Governor of New Jersey, Members of Congress, and the State Legislature, Judges of the United States, and State Courts, the Clergy ; Foreign Ministers, and the different Trades and Professions. The usual accompaniments of music and orations were not wanting. The effect of the whole must have been imposicg. HIMALD.--If the crime of high treason in France, and that, too, when committed under circumstances which have caused the sacrifice of thousands of human lives, does not incur the penalty of death, what are we to say of the justice and humanity of the English law, which takes away the life of the offender for stealing a sheep or forging a one-pound promissory note? Unless the French Government intend to have one scale of punishments for the rich. and another for the poor, or to distinguish Ministerial traitors from all ethers by peculiar lenity and indulgence, it le quite clear that the punishment of high treason in every ease is abolished In France. The Peers who tried the ex-Ministers cannot find that the law has, in fact, provided any punishment for this greatest and most dangerous of crimes ; but it was strange the Peers of France never made that disco very—a discovery so interesting to humanity, and which throws such a new light on legislation—until its benefit was to be claimed for the “ regal rebels" who attempted to erase the name of France from the list of free nations, and in that attempt deluged the streets of Paris with the blood of its citisens. The Bourbons made no such discovery as this in favour of Marshal Ney—of Bories and his companions_ of 11.• Ber then and other, who expiated the aim* of high treason under the axe of the guillotine. We rejoice, however fee the eake of humanity, that it is at length ascertained the victims of Bourbon vengeance, who suffered death upon convictions for tresses sines the publication of the Charter of 1814, perished under a tudeappsthetasion V the ler I We rejoice, because we think the punishment of death for oleo infe rior to treason must, for the sake of coosistemay, be abolished. It is true the French Code does not want so mesh on ibis point as our own. We had upwards of 909 a7oeee penisbelie with death, when the French, according to the Code Napebea, had, if we recollect rightly, only six 1 Nog ef those espied pu nishments of ours had become Aegis* in of the public disgust which they earthed; NA lature allowed them to remain on the fitatese Wilt it was practicable to carry them into execution.

We then find Lord Cowley, Lord Maryborough, and the Marquis Wellesley, all noblemen whose distinguished abilities attracted the eager notice of the Duke of Portland, Mr. Perceval, and Lord Li 1. and whose several appointments, so for from having proceeded from his GUM, all took place, not only when he had no share whatever In the Adminisuatim, but at a time when be was gloriously fighting, far from home, the battles of his country, in the very agony of her immortal struggles. All the I other offices mentioned were filled in a manner precisely the same, the noble duke having had nothing whatever to do with the appointments, with the solitary exception (and; that we may venture to say proudly the reverse of improper or discreditable) of that meritorious officer Lord Fitzroy Somerset, as his Grace's Setretatr, not when be was Prime Minister, but Commander-in-Chief of the F o r tes. Nothing more need be said in elucidation of the base subterfuges in which our candid and liberal factious are wont to indulge, at the e:. pence of all truth, candour, common honesty, and honour. In behalf of this basely calumniated, but pure and most illustrious character of the age, we nevertheless feel bound to add the well known and %lode niable feet, that his Grace, during the whole of his administration did not appoint to office a single member of his own family, either bonze. diate or collateral. Tutits.—lf the peace of Paris is finally preserved, sad the exalt don of the law duly secured against the invasions of popular fury, France wiU mainly owe this greatest of all blessings to the extensive institution and admirable conduct of the National (hard. A body of regular troops much more numerous and more decided than that which was employed to support the infamous ordinances of Chaska X. would not have been sufficient on the present occasion to have enforced the or ders of the most popular !Sovereign who ever reigned in France. In whatever way the trial had ended, and whatever was the sentence pro nounced, agitators would have found in the present ferment of the popular mind. and amid the almost intolerable miseries of the work ing classes, called together on such an occasion, the means of dis turbing civil order and perhaps of shaking, by the v i o l ence o f t h e peo ple, the throne which they pretend to have raised by their sovereign will. An evening contemporary professes not to know what the Peers mean by say inf that France:has no limo( treason for the punishmentof ministers. If he would look at the article of the Charter of 1814. by virtue of which the ministers of the crown arc impeached before the upper Chamber, he would see that a law of ministerial re sponsibility is promised to define what is meant by treason 1 and what is meant by concussion. the only other crime specified in the regulation. This law of ministerial responsibility, though promised in the Charter of 1814, and in the Charier of 1830, has never yet been enacted. The treason contemplated in all previous statutes, and even described in the articles of the criminal code on which the Commissioners of the Chamber of Deputies founded their impeachment, is treason against the King or the existing authorities of the State, by the subjects of the King, and not treason of the King's servants by order of the King against the King's people or liberties of the nation. In fact, this species of treason seems never to have entered the minds of those who made codes for Napoleon, or of those who re vised and extended th ese co d es f or t h e use o f the Bourbons. As the crime of parricide was omitted in sonic of the ancient codes, so the crime of enforcing the execution of tyrannical ordinances by the massacre of the people was not contemplated by the framers of the modern French laws.

Summonses were issued to the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Archbishop of York, and the Cabinet Ministers, from the Council-office on Thursday evening, to attend a meeting at the Council-office yesterday afternoon. The Marquis of Anglesey has been pleased to appoint the Rev. Thomas Dawson Logan to the living of Cruise town, in the Diocese of Meath.

Their Lordships sat in committee about half an hour, and, it is understood, issued an order to the Archbishop of Canterbury to prepare a form of prayer on the state of the country. The Archbishop of York did not attend the meeting, hav ing left town previous to the summonses being issued. The Lord Chancellor was absent, having left town on Thursday morning for Brougham-hall, Westmoreland. The Lord Pre sident (the Marquis of Lansdowne) was also absent. The noble Marquis left town on Thursday for his seat, at Bowood, Wilts. The Russian Ambassador and Baron Weissemberg had interviews with Viscount Palmerston yesterday at the Foreign office. Mr. Montagu Burgoyne presented last Monday, a petition to both Houses of Parliament, for the enclosure of Epping Forest, containing 12,000 acres, of which 3,000 belong to the Crown. Mr. Arnold has petitioned the King for an extension of his period of performances, when his new theatre is built. His Majesty has commanded the Lord Chancellor to deter mine finally upon the merits of this petition (which has been signed by a number of the highest nobility), and upon all that relates to the patent theatres generally. Lord Brougham has appointed the question to be argued upon its merits, on the 10th of January. The prayer of it is opposed by the two winter theatres: and, in order to circumscribe the proceedings, Lord Brougham has determined that only one counsel shall be heard on each side. Lord Brougham has called in the aid of two Judges from the com mon law courts, to enable him fairly and equitably to de termine the question. We hear the affair will be discussed in the Chancellor's private room. We shall be sorry to find this determination persevered in ; for nothing gin take place l et such a discussion which is not interesting to the public, and the public will not believe that they are fairly desk by if there is any thing like sonmaknentain the affair.—Cottrt ,Joungel• PLYIIOUTI', Dee. •.

Miss IN V ERA RlTY.—Observing that the metropolitan prints are making a number of random and blundering statements regarding this young vocalist, we think it may be well to give the following, to the accurate" of which we can confidently pledge ourselves. Miss Inverarity is the eldest daughter of a citizen of Edinburgh, and stands in the relation of grand-niece to a very ingenious person, whose name is much endeared in Scotland, namely Robert Fergus son, the bard, par excellence, of the City of Edinburgh, and partly the prototype of Robert Burns. She is between 17 and 1 8 years of age, but remarkably fill grown for her years. She displayed her extraordinary powers of song at a very early age, but received no lessons from any master till about three years ago, whe.n she went under the imme diate care of Mr. Thorne, an excellent bus singer, in the Ed in' urgh Theatre. At a later period she took lessons undo Qr. Alexander Murray,an eminent violin:et and teacher of singing, settled at Edinburgh. Her first public appear ance was at a concert given by this gentleman in the Assem bly-rooms, in April, 1829, when she was ju-t entering her 17th year; after which she nv:do no other appearance till she came forward at the Profession 11 Society and other con certs during the last winter. We can state, with perfect certainty, that, excepting the above public appearances, which might amount altogether to ten or twelve in number, Miss I nverarity has had no experience in her profession. She was received by the Edinburgh audience with great applause ; but we should suppose that sha must have made a great ad vance since then, under Crevelii and Sir George Smart, in order to have prepared herself for an exertion so much more arduous and trying than anything she encountered here.— Edinburgh Advertiser. The estate and manor of Burgham, corrupted to Brougham, belong to Lord Brougham and Vaux, whose ancestors were Saxon, and held their burgh or castle of Burgham, at tba Roman station, called by Antoninus in his hisserary, Breve cum, or Brovoniacum, and which lies on the great Roman way leading from Appleby (Aballaba) to Penrith (Petriana,) and at the north-western extremity of the parish of Brougham. In the reign of King John, Gilbert de Burgham, Lord of Burghant, alienated the Castle, and one-third part cf his patrimonial estate, together with the advowson of the church of Burgham, to Robert de Veteripont, the . first hereditary high sheriff of Westmoreland, on condition that lie and his heirs might hold the remainder of his estate free from drengage, a service imposed by William the Nor man upon all the Saxons who were powerful enough to make terms with him, and who consented to make this ser vice as the price at which they retained their estates. Brougham-castle afterwards came by marriage into the powerful family of Clifford, one of whom, Roger de Clifford, greatly added to the building; and from the Clifforde it descended, through the celebrated Countess of Pembroke, to the present Earl of Thanet. Thomas Brougham, of Brougham, temp. James 1. dying without issue male, the manor and estate were sold to one Bird, an alto. ney, steward to the Thanet family, and towards the end of the -reign of Charles 11. were purchased back again by Joln Brougham, of Scales-hall, heir male ofThomos, who, entailing the estates of Brougham and Scales upon his issue male, they descended to Henry, the present Baron Brougham and Vaux, Lord High Chancellor, concerning whose birth and parentage the following particulars may, we believe, be relied re.on as tolerably authentic. Mr. Brougham, father to the Lord Chancellor, was educated at Eton, and distinguished himself there as a classical scholar, if we may judge from his verses which are published in the Muse Etontnus. H. was entered at Gray's-inn, and appears to have kept some terms, but was never called to the bar. In early life be became attached to his cousin, Miss Whelpdale,whose farm?y lived in the neighbourhood of Brougham. On the eve of their marriage the lady died, and Mr. Brougham, to beguile his grief, travelled to Edinburgh, at that period peculiarly distinguished as the abode of the illustrious in litera ture. It was there that Mr. Brougham became acquainted with Eleanor, only child of Dr. Syme, and niece to Dr. Robertson, the historian, and having married this ludy, he continued to reside chiefly in Edinburgh, even after the death of his father, which took place at Brougham in the year 1780. Shortly after his marriage, Mr. Brougham took up his abode in the house of his intimate frieud the jets Berl of Buchan, eldest brother of Lord Chancellor Erskine, and in that house (which is now 19, St. Audvew's-squari) the present Lord Changan was born, I
