The Bank of Paris, during the last week of July, did not withhold its aid to the public ; and since the 26th of last month, it discounted to the commercial com munity—particularly to the middling orders—about sixty thrice millions in bills ; which is more than double its or dinary discounts. The late French revolution appears so well settled, that the Journalists of Europe have legitimately little left for them to do, except to lay before their Readers their reflec tions upon the event, and their conjectures of what may Le its consequences. Never was there a subject on which the mind, prone to speculate on the future, has more incite ment to indulge a favourite propensity, or more matter on which to rear an edifice of hypothesis. We are a little surprised, therefore, to observe that the Journalists of tl►is country, seem hitherto to avoid favouring their readers with w•hat we conceive they might naturally expect; ind walk a little out of their province, and—in 'our opinion— out of the right cuurse, by deliberately sitting in their closets, adjudging how the French are to act towards the late very infatuated and imprudent Government. Our cotemporary, the Morning Chronicle, whose sentiments we have so frequently reason to approve, and whoseabilities and knowledge always to admire, seems almost to insinuate, that it would be inculpating the Duke of WELLINGTON of " high crimes and misdemeanours" were he to admit a visit at Widmer Castle of the Prince de POLIGNAC ; and more than insinuates that the English would ap prove of pursuing unto death, the ex-Mhfisters of France. As we before expressed, when noticing a similar sen timent in another Journal, we sincerely hope, for the sale of the grand victory which the French people have so nobly achieved by their courage, and appear likely—u far as they hare proceeded—to consoli date by their wisdom, that they will not be induced, by bed ' advice, tq relinquish the important advan tages which would moult to their cause, by omitting the &pendia opportunity which now offers, to she* to the world that the (kid-like attribute of Mercy is a virtue of the People. This, indeed, to use a French expression, will be to cgnsecrate theif victor,. We regret to ram the ebullition of the moment inter fere so much with tlitieffriii , of "reason, as to produce -- ,-;e4fTW4jaiv ?7,71--"141..‹,;•-*••••Rer 'Aill4.4St‘' 46. --Vki • gtr. 1 111. 19 . 4 , ZA.7 S qr_al 11' such remarks as we have now noticed, and of which the reports of the public meetings afford one or two other instances. The interests of France, and in this instance we maintain the interests of the world, demand of all philanthrophists the utmost exertion to allay angry feeling, and remove the sources of hostility. It is on this account we take upon ourselves the unpleasant task of criticising others. We cannot but observe with pleasure, that in France, even the more violent partizans display a little anxiety to moderate their views, as is evidenced in the sententious speech of Ey stet SA LV ILT E,which was given at length exclusively in the STAR of yesterday. That the state of all nations internally, and the poli lical relations of all nations externally, will more or less be affected by what has occurred in France, we think a proposition that almost approximates to self-evident. If there be any discontent with existing Governments, and existing institutions in Europe —and we conceive the question cannot admit of a nega tive—this event will ripen discontent into open revolt more rapidly than ever was effected by the first great ex- plosion in France. The declaration, which it appears from a paragraph above, is expected from France, we hope will prove of the satisfactory character described, and it will augur extremely well of the new Executive, that it so early di rects its attention, to remove any unfavourable apprehen sions, that France will actively interfere in the affairs of other States. We hope that a similar conciliating temper of policy will restrain them, as much as possible, from allowing their views of national aggrandizement, or what may be termed national ambition, from changing the present position of their international relations.. We confess we have great apprehensions on this'. subject. At the time the POLIGNAC Administra tion received its appointment, it was generally be lieved that the retiring Administration had betrayed more than equivocal symptoms of alienation, from that close alliance in policy with Great Britain, which was so essential to accomplish the tranquil settle ment of the Mediterranean questions, in which all the powers in Europe were at that time engaged. If such were the tendencies of the then retiring Admini stration, which was only in some degree embued with the sentiments of the Liberal party, what policy are we to expect to govern an Administration formed like the present? If the important object of avoiding hostilities shall be I adequate to curb the nascent ambitions of France; and if our Government shall readily evince a disposition to accommodate its views on certain points of policy, then may the peace of Europe be preserved : but if the French, feeling new energies, cannot be restrained from the expansion of their fresh plumed wings—and such we regret to say, we consider the probable contingency— then most assuredly our policy, as regards certain points on which turn the peace of Europe, will be come at variance with those of France ; and Europe ' will, in its relations, probably receive a shock which may not be speedily recovered. A meeting was held this day at the London Tavern, for the purpose of expressing the public feeling in the City of London on the late transactions in France, and to raise subscriptions for the relief of those who suffered in the struggle. At two o'clock the Chairman, Mr. WA RBy RTON was left addressing the Meeting, and giving an animated detail of the recent events in Paris. As we purpose noticing this Meeting at length, we defer any account of it, at this late hour of the day. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. We have by express the Gazette de France of Mon• day's date, and papers and letters of Sunday evening. From the Journal des Debuts. By private letters from Bayonne, we have confirma tion of the news previously received from Spain. These announce, in a most positive manner, that the country, from St. Sebastian to Sarragossa, was in full insurrec tion ; and that General Mina, who was believed to have disembarked in Gallicia, had passed through Bourdeaux on the Bth, and bad entered Spain at the head of 500 men. From Le National. We are assured this evening, that the ex-King has de dared that he will not quit France, until the Duke of Bordeaux is acknowledged King. From La Quoiidienne. Charles X. has quitted St. La on the 13th, in the morn ing, on his way to Cherbourg. This evening it is re ported, that a telegraphic dispatch announces that he would embark on the 14th. From the Messager des Chambres. NANTES, AUG. B.—We learned yesterdik that Ge neral Despenois was in the centre of La Vendee, but that his little troop was diminishing considerably. The ex- Commandant of the 12th Division has not found the people echo his call to rebellion, nor seen them range themselves with him under the standards of revolt. General Des penois has taken upon him the title of General in-Chief of the Royal Armies of La Vendee ; and M . de Massey, Under Military Intendant, that of Intendant General of the same army. This morning we have received a dispatch addressed to the General of Division, from General Despinois, dated BourbonVeudee, announcing his submission to the established Government. It is reported that the Spanish troops which had ap proached the French frontiers, had marched upon Madrid with the tri coloured flag. • BERLIN, Alio. 4.—Extraordinary couriers have suc ceeded each other with rapidity during the last few days. The Russian Legation here has sent successively several couriers to St. Petersburgh. M. de Folkersahon, Secretary to the Russian Ambassador likewise; set, out yesterday an extraordinary courier, with despatches for the Em peror Nicholas. Another Secretary of this Ambassador, M. - de Gasnouski; will set off on the 6th for Carlsbad, with despatches. BRUSSELS, Atm . 12.—We learn from Ghent, that for several days past the fortifications of the new-Citadel have been strengthening actively, and that at Oudenarde, `Ypres, Tourney, Menin, and other provinces in that di rection, similar activity prevailed. From the Journal' du Havre. One of our Corespondents has furnished us with the follo_wingdetail relating to the evidence of Charles X. at Conde sur Noiresu. The King was Iddged a h o t el m a n family, where be met with much respect and kindness. The National Guard, composed of 200 men, was under arms. Charles X. was accompanied by a great number of carriages, and among his suite were the Duke of Ragusa, the Governor of St. Cloud, Gen. La , salles, Gen. Baltazar, the Duke de Damns, Governor of the Duke de Borduaiix, the Dike de Guiche, M. and Mademoissello Chi:Tette, &c. It is said that several hundred men marched up from La Fert6 to Fleurs to seize the Duke of Ragusa, but that one of the Commis missioners made them retrograde. The officers with the King maintain their usual arrogance, and say they will return with the Allies, and assert that Charles X. receives every day despatches from the Ambassador at Paris. From the preparations making, however, it seems as if Charles X. would go to Naples after remaining a few days in England. It is said the National Guards of Cherbourg have manifested the intention of not ad mitting into the town the troops which have escorted the ex-King. To Lo w, Auc 9.—The organization of the govern ment of Algiers is still going on, and already a great number of public functionaries have been named from among the natives. Extract of a letter from Paris, dated Sunday evening : —" There is not a word of news stirring. All the world are gone to the neighbouring villages to spend the day, as if nothing had occurred. Numbers of curious English continue to arrive to examine the scenes of the late con- riots, but nearly all the residents are going away. The followin ,, interesting communication is copied from the Journal des Debuts of Aug. 14 : " ALGIERS, JULY 31. " On the 28th of July two French soldiers were poi soned in a cafe by the Algerines. At the same time a band of insurgents attacked the gate Bab-Azoun, and massacred nineteen of our soldiers. The French flew to arms and surrounded the rebels, one of whom, through fear of death, made important disclosures. He has declared that a conspiracy has been forming for some time, and was immediately about to break out—that 60,000 Be douins from the interior were from day to day expected at the gates of Algiers—and that, whilst our troops were making head against them, the Moors and Arabs of the city were to arm for the purpose of massacring the French. The truth of these disclosures has been con firmed. A depot of arms has been discovered at the house of an inhabitant, and we are assured that 10 , 0001 pistols have been finind, which were destined for a re newal of the scena of the Sicilian vespers. On the morn ing of the 29th forty of the insurgents were executed. In order to intimidate the people, and prevent another re hellion, the French have turned on the city several pieces of cannon of the upper battery of the Mole, where the light-house is, and which have been usually directed to wards the sea. The General-in-Chief has given orders that all the little garrisons distributed in the forts rather too distant, and for whose security any fears might be entertained, should fall back on the city. The garrison of the peninsula of Sidi-Ferruch, composed in a great measure of marines, is included among them- We have demolished the fort and levelled the entrenchments and fortifications, taken away the chew= de frise, and aban doned all the baggage. It was a question whether we should not blow up the tower called Torre Chica, but, after having considered that it was useful for communicating with vessels at sea, it was agreed to leave it standing. The 17th regiment of the line, which occupied a fort on the sea coast, about four leagues from the city, has been attacked by a party of between 1,800 to 2,000 Bedouins. After some minutes' fighting, the regiment found itself forced to retreat on Algiers. We are daily expecting the attack of the 60,000 Bedouins. The column of 10,000 men moves round the heights to receive them. If this state of things should continue, no one knows what the expedition will come to. The army has already lost from 8,000 to 9,000 men killed and wounded. The dysentery continues to make progress among the land and sea troops. More than half the crew of the ship Arnim/ rAl g er is at tacked with it more or less severely. The season is ap proaching when the navy cannot be of any use to the army, from the impossibility of the ships keeping at an chor. On the evening of the 31st, five or six Turks, very richly clothed, came on board the Admiral's ship. One of them, a man of colossal stature, and of remarkable en bon point, appeared to be regarded with respect by the others. He was the late Minister of Finance at Algiers, and lie came to demand of Vice-Admiral Duperre, what was instantly granted to him, permission to retire to a foreign country. A corvette and frigate of the United States of America have anchored near our Admiral's ship. It is report ed that they came to be informed if it is true that the French wish to attack Tripoli, where their Consul has been in sulted as well as ours. We are assured that if such should be the intention, their squadron, which is at Mahon, sill combine their efforts with the vessels under M. de Rosamel. Nevertheless, the French have been displeased with the conduct of the Commanders of these American ships. They gave no salute, and, without com municating with the Admiral, they despatched their boat on shore. The Admiral was obliged to send very quickly after them a boat, to prevent them from disembarking, and to refuse an entry to the port. What still more in creases the unpleasant feelings of our Etat Major is the circumstance of the American frigate being the Java, the crew of which had last year, at Mahon, a quarrel, in which M. Meyuard, an officer of the French brig Faune, was killed." In a Second Edition of the STAR last night, we gave some few additions to our French intelligence ; which, in justice to our readers generally, we now think it right to republish—not having observed the contents in any of the Morning Papers : The 6th regiment which attended the King, ar rived at Cherbourg and Carenton on Monday from Caen. All the soldiers shouted " Vive la Charte ! Vive la France ! Every where on the road, from Cherbourg and Carenton to Havre, the harvest men were seen brandishing their sickles, as the tra vellers pass, and shouting " Mort aux Ministres !" All the labourers in the fields wear the tri-coloured cockade. The exasperation of the people arises chiefly from an idea, that the fires raised by the incendiaries in Lower Nor maidy, were instigated by the Government which has been just overthrown. Since the fall of CHARLES the Tenth, the incendiaries have ceased to desolate the country. The Cardinals, Archbishops, and Bishops, who have abandoned their dioceses, and have ceased their politico —ecclesiastical functions, have, we hear—says Le Temps—been informed that they may resume their du ties, without apprehending any molestation from the new Government. The Archbishop of Paris has published a -pastoral letter, expressing his concurrence in the new order of things. He will resume his duties at the Ca thedral of Notre Dame to-morrow—says the National of Saturday. Letters from Madrid of a later date than those pub lished in our previous columns, define more particularly the state of feeling them. Among - other extraordinary manifestations of a vindictive spirit—une batmen? mama craste—they mention that all the Couriers coming from i'France, were ordered to be stopped, and to be conducted to St. Ildephonsa. The troops arc under arms; bait shut up in their barracks. The whole capital of Spain is paroling]; and it is impossible—says our letter—to foresee what denouement is to he expected. At Pampe lona, the cries of " Vire la libertC are heard under time windows of the palace of the VICLROy. The National de Bruxelles of the 12th inst. says, that l ot the moment of going to press, sixty thousand Aus trians were on their march to Italy ; so that the effectivo force of Austria in Italy will be 110,000 men. The sitting of the Chamber of Deputies of the 11th was occupied in swearing the Members. Each, on being sworn, made an impressive speech, which we Itv• given at greater length, than any of our Contemporaries. on the first page of this sheet. The number of troops contemplated for the new French army is 600,000 men. Two millions of men will, it is expected, bo armed, regimented, and disciplined in France before the Ist of January next CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have not even the arrival of a single ship letter this morning ; consequently there is a great dearth of in formation in the City. Consols, which left off yesterday at 9lf: for the Ac count, opened at the same price, with scarce a bargain doing at present ; and there is great doubt if much busi ness will be done in the course of the day, owing to tin , estafette leaving Paris on Sunday.

The most important information we may expect from Paris, will be relating to the recognition of the present Government by the Foreign Powers, as well as the appointment of French Ambassadors to the various Courts of Europe. in regard to the former we have reason to believe, from a quarter of the first information, that the Foreign Powers will not interfere with the internal affairs of France; and that peace and friendship will be maintained, as previous to the Revolution. Consols remain steady at 911 / for the account, with little or nothing doing. The foreign market is stagnant, and prices much the same as yesterday.

The telegraph at the Admiralty was at work for a con siderable time on Sunday, both in the morning and evening. The Ambassador from the Netherlands, the Brazilian, Sardinian, and Neapolitan Ministers, and the Fren.li Charge d'Affaires, visited the Earl of Aberdeen yesterday afternoon, at the Foreign-office. THE Kr NG .-At half-past ten yesterday morning, the King, accompanied by Sir Frederick Watson, left the Castle for the Pavilion at Brighton, in a carriage and four, with two outriders. His Majesty is expected to return this day His Royal Highness the Duke of Cum berland left the Castle in the morning for town. The Duke of Cambridge also left for town. Prince Leopold left the Castle in the morning for Claremont. The Earl and Countess of Darnley left the Castle for their house in town. The Queen, accompanied by the 'Landgravine of Hesse Hombourg, and some of the gentlemen of her suite, left the Castle at half-past two in the afternoon, in an open carriage, and proceeded by the Long Walk, the Royal Lodge, Cumberland Lodge, and the Obelisk, to Virginia Water, where her Majesty enjoyed some pleasant drives; after which she returned by Cranbourn Lodge to the Castle. His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, who is now at Cheltenham, will shortly leave that place, as he is ex pected to arrive at the Castle on the 21st instant, in order to pay his respects to his Majesty on his birth-day. The activity of the King astonishes every body ; he ap pears to inherit all the early and temperate habits of his father. He rises at six o'clock, at which hour the messengers from the different Government dices are ap pointed to be in attendance, when, with the assistance of Sir Herbert Taylor, he gets through the despatches with incredible celerity, and immediately forwards the messen gers on their return. The visit which the Duke of Gloucester paid to his Royal Relative at Malvern, on Monday, was speedily returned by the arrival of her Royal Highness tile Duchess of Kent, and the Princes Victoria, and suite. about one o'clock on Saturday last, at his residence in the Crescent, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather. After partaking of refreshments they proceeded in the carriage of his Royal Highness, attended by Sir John and Lady Conroy, Baroness Lehzen, Sir Willoughby Cotton, Colonel Higgins, Major Foster, and Mr. Mar shall, Master of the Ceremonies, to the Royal Well. the Montpellier Gardens and Pump Rooms, (where they tasted the water, and inspected the various improvements in that neighbourhood,) the Imperial Spa, the Pittville property, and the Assembly Rooms, with the whole of which, and the scenery of the surrounding country, they expressed themselves highly delighted. Many ladies and gentlemen who were known to the Duke of Gloucester, were introduced by him to the Royal visitors, and as the distinguished party approached the public establishments, the respective bands played the national anthem. They returned to the Crescent ab out four o'clock, and soon after departed for Malvern. We may ob serve that an intimation has been given to Mr. Mar shall, M.C. that it was the wish of her Royal Highness to dispense with any demonstrations of joy on her unex pected tour to Cheltenham ; and it may be inferred from her expression of pleasure, that she will re-visit us when the weather is more favourable. Yesterday was the birth day of the Duchess, her Royal Highness being born on the 17th August, 1786. The Princess Victoria was born on the 24th of May, 1819 ; she possesses a countenance extremely pleasing and intelligent, and a figure petite. but graceful. The probability that this young Princess will be the future Queen of these realms, causes her to be regarded by all with the deepest feelings of interest. — Cheltenham Journal. IFIVIRDEE OF A POLICE CONSTABLE.—About twelve o'clock last night, as William Long, No. 43, Division G, was going his rounds, he saw three men coming out of a public-house in Gray's Inn-road, and on accosting thew, knowing them to be bad characters, one of the ruffians struck him with a sharp instrument, which afterwards proved to be a shoemaker's knife. The man fell, ex claiming, " for Gon's sake seise them, I am a murdered man." A woman passing at the moment seized one of the villains, and although much beaten, succeeded in de taining bim until assistance was procured. The police man was carried into the shop of a surgeon, where be expired in a few minutes. It required the aid of two men to extract the knife from the body of the deceased, the handle of which was found at some distance One of the villians is in St. Gilee's station, the other In Clerken well, where the body remains to await the Coroner's in quest. The deceased was an active officer, highly re spected, snd has left a widow sad Mrs children to deplore his melancholy fate. ',I k 2:;
