The object of the Proprietors of the STAR is to produce a tasteful Journal, of all that is interesting in Politics, Literature, and General Science; and to afford the Public the earliest and most correct intelligence. At a very late hour this afternoon we received by express the Gazette de France of yesterday's date, and Paris letters of Tuesday evening.

The reason for the fall in the French Rentes, is ascribed to the fact that Mr. O.—a great shareholder—has given in structions to his agent to sell out, to the amount of two mil lions in the French stocks. _ This morning despatcher received at the Colonial Office, from Major-General Sir JAMES LYON, Governor of Barbadoes. Although the concurrent voice and example of all who ever attained authority for superior wisdom, declare that po sitive and dogmatical assertion is not the evidence of wisdom ; but, on the contrary, of shallow self conceit—and although all who ever thought ou any department of what bag been scholastically designated morals, or moral philosophy, must know that diffidence should mark the declara tion of any opinions we may form,—yet mankind ap pear always prone to receive the dictation of declamatory arrogance as wisdom, and to take for truth that only which is most imposingly and boldly declared to be so. This arises from► a natural indolence, or incapacity, in the majority of men to think for themselves; they are therefore apt to adopt the dicta of those who make themselves easiest intelligible— those who, from ignorance or incapacity, deal not in fine distinctions or shades of opinion ; but those who courageously adopt a negative or affirmative, without admitting the pos sibility of any error in their judgment. It is to this class of writers thit the mass of mankind humiliate their rea soning faculties, and become, in fact, intellectual slaves. Some days ago we called the attention of our readers, in cidentally, to the quackery and tyranny of the British Press. The dictatorial spirit which we have now described, is part of the tyranny to which we allude, and against which we would encourage our readers incessantly to strug gle. A wise man may assert firmly, as to the state of his own convictions; or, as to what he knows by the evidence of his senses ; but he who asserts positively what he cannot know, should be set down uniformly as knave or fool— or perhaps, as is sometimes the case, a compound of both. We have made this remark—which may appear too ab stract or general for our columns—as a kind of text upon which w•e mean frequently to dilate, and mean occasionally to illustrate; for never were there more flagrant specimens of arrogance, ignorance, and self-conceit exhibited in print, than those which are daily exhibited in the much-boasted, vain-glorious, public press of this country. If the tone of our newspapers were to be taken as evidence of our character for reflection—or what is called philosophy—low, indeed, must that character be in the estimation of all Europe. We need not go far for our first illustration of quackery and tyranny. It is well known that a letter has appeared in the French papers, as the production of the Prince de Po mo); AC. When we inserted this letter in the SCAR, we remarked that we considered it written in a subdued, but dignified tone ; and such were our impressions so strongly, that it astonished us to observe, the next day, the very different view of it which was taken by the Times. For a specimen of the calm, discriminating tone of truth, and bland humanity, which distinguishes that Journal, on so many occasions, we refer our readers to the extract given in our Paper. He will there find the unfortunate untried pri soner, branded with " atrocious guilt"—"sheer ignorance and fully"—as a " criminal"—" a madman"—" infatuated fool" —" the miserable Premier." He will observe the fine tact at discerning truth, and scrupulous kindness of nature, illustrated by his reasoning, on a vague paragraph, in some nameless French paper, which states that the Prince had de clared on the road, to the people, that he had opposed the ob noxious ordinances, and had signed them by compulsion. We next have a quotation from the columns of Brother Courier, showing equal delicacy in feeling, and tact in discerning truth, mixed up with a little quackery. This writer, very kind to the fallen minister, attributes all the blame of the last unfortunate event to him ; and asserts that the Duchess D'ANoouLzatE has represented herself, as the only wise politician of the party, who foresaw the consequences of the Ordonnances But we cannot find space for what on any other subject would be designated old women's twaddle ; but on this, really—which we consider as a degrading exhi bition of wanton inattention to what may be considered the golden rules of social charity—not to prejudge on im perfect knowledge ; nor to aid in the production of animosity against those who are already sufficiently afflicted. We are astonished that individuals are found so carried away by professional objects, as to sit coolly in their closets, utterly ignorant of accurate facts ; and scatter the seeds of uncharitableness, with such wanton and unsparing hands. The Morning Herald pronounces that the Free Trade and Currency Questions were the two great errors of former Administrations; and that, had the Duke of WELLINGTON seen through the mist in which they were enveloped, and dispersed it, he could have added a civil laurel to his military renown. We call the attention of the Morning Herald to the following observations : That " free trade,"—as it is most inaccurately termed—to which the writer refers, is explained by the difference be tween prohibition and protection. If, in consequence of prohibition, the goods of the foreigner are smuggled into this country, all those evils which are presumed to arise from the introduction of foreign goods from a country less taxed than our own, are aggravated to the greatest degree, without benefit to the revenue, or to any class of persons. Thus, for example, whatever is received on French silks, under the 30 per cent, ad valorem duty, is so much gain to the revenue, without one jot more, or less, being incurred by the English manufacturers, than was previously produced by smuggling; and it will be found, if reference be made to the first practical authorities in the silk-trade, that any thing but mischief to that trade, taken as a whole, has been the consequence of the change. The skill and energy of our manufacturers have been excited by competition, with all the ad:antage which might have been expected from such ex citement. If the printing of the Morning Herald be facili tated by steam machinery, to be consistent with its principles, it must regret that a tax is not imposed on such machinery, the use of which occasions the employment of fewer pressmen. We have always considered one of the effects of "Free Trade," and the application of machinery--for there is a complete analogy between their effects—to be, the throwing out of employment manual labour ; and we have regretted that an opportunity was not given to those artisans who have been so thrown out of employ, to exercise their abilities and energies in our Colonies, where their aid is so much wanted. We have always found the Morning Herald the most strenuous opposer of any real relief which would be afforded to the people by such a facility. With respect to the question of Currency, let the Com positors of the Morning Herald be asked, whether they prefer receiving, as wages, a shilling depreciated 25 per cent, and only of the value of ninepence, or a shilling of the present legal value ? We have always considered, that the moat unblushing delusion, which was ever practised on those• who are dependent on the wages of labour for their sup Fort has been the attempt to make them believe that they are in terested in the depreciation of the coin. It is the debtor who is interested in that depreciation, and not the hard working labourer or mechanic, who has nothing to maintain himself, but the wages which he receives. We have a file of the Canton Register this morning to the 3rd March, and they contain some important com mercial information. The cotton market had been sin gularly affected, by the sales of the Select Committee having been, up to that date, confined to the Bengal staple, which they disposed of at eleven tads per pecul ; whilst they still held the whole of their Bombay and I Madras investments, as no satisfactory offers had been made them. Few of the Bombay Commanders have been able to effect ask of their proportions. The Com manders of the Bengal ships, had disposed of their propor tions of the Bengal, at taels 10. 6. to 10. 8. per pecul. There had been but little stir among the Chinese dealers ; but some trifling transactions, at a trifling advance, had taken place, though no improvement has taken place in con sequence on the foreign market. It was reported that in consequence of an understanding between the Bombay Mer chants, no ship would arrive from Bombay by the eastern route ; but this was not credited by the Chinese. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The only arrival of consequence this morning is a Lisbon mail, by the Britomart ; sailed on the 13th August : by which we understand that the British ships captured, and carried into the Tagus, have been dismantled. The private letter-writers are very cautious, and are afraid to write on politics. Demerara papers, to the 3d July, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, but are totally void of interest. The French mail remains due ; consequently, we have no Estafette letters as yet from Paris. This being the Account day in Consols, which is supposed to be a large Bull Account, with an extreme fluctuation during the Account of 31 per Cents. has caused a failure in the market this morning; but it being not of the first rate, will not cause any heavy losses. Consols, which left off yesterday at 91 to I, opened at the same price ; since which they have declined to 901 i for the Account ; and the chief business doing is in settling their accounts. In the Foreign Market, Spanish Bonds ar3 not so good as yesterday, owing to the price coming I per Cent. lower from Amsterdam. CITY, HALF-PAST ONE. The French mail has arrived ; but the Estafette letters will not be delivered till after two o'clock, consequently the contents of the above mail are not yet transpired. It is reported that all the great Powers have acknowledged the new French Government. _ The private letters by the Lisbon mail state that the events at Paris, to the 29th July, were known at Lisbon. It is said that the departure of the Britomart, two days before she was to sail, was owing to the British Consul, who gave Don Mi guel's Ministers to the 11th to give a final answer, to give up the ships and crews detained, and their not complying was the cause of her sailing. Consols for money, 901 1 ; for the October account, 91 to e. But little doing in the Foreign Market. • - = % ,nri,, e ,s , 0 , 0 r pucATose-r LONDON. THURSDAY, AUGUST 26 THE LING'S COURT. His Majesty, as we stated exclusively yesterday, came to town, attended by Sir Herbert Taylor, about half past 12 o'clock, in a carriage and four, from his Palace at Wind sor. The following are the particulars from the Court Cir cular of to-day : At one o'clock the King held a Court, which was attended by the Duke of Cambridge, the Swedish Minister, General Baudrand, on a special mission from the King of the French ; the Lord Chancellor, the Lord President of the Council, the Lord Privy Seal, the first Lord of the Treasury, the Secretaries of State for the Home, Foreign, and Colonial Departments, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Pre sident of the Board of Trade, the Earl of Clare, Lord Hun tingdon, &c. His Majesty held a Privy Council, at which it was agreed upon that Parliament should be further pro rogued from the 14th of September to the 25th of October, then to meet for the dispatch of business. A Proclamation to that effect was ordered to be issued forthwith. The Duke of Cambridge was introduced and resworn a Member of his Majesty's Privy Council. Mr.Greville attended as Clerk of the Council. Count Bjornstjerna, the Swedish Minister, was intro duced by the /Carl of Aberdeen, the King's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and conducted by Sir Robert Chester, the Master of the Ceremonies. His Excellency had an audience of the King, and delivered his credentials to his Majesty. Gen. Baudrand, on a special mission from the King of the French, was introduced to his Majesty by the Earl of Aberdeen, as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and conducted by Sir Robert Chester, the Master of the Ceremo nies. His Excellency delivered a letter from his Sovereign to the King. The Earl of Clare was introduced to the King by Lord Ellenborough, as President of the Board of Control, when his Lordship took leave, on proceeding to his Government of Madras. His Majesty gave audiences to the Duke of Wel lington, Earls Bathurst and Aberdeen, Lord Huntingdon, Sir Robert Peel, and Sir George Murray. The Field Officer in Waiting had an audience of the King, and made a report of the effective state of the three regiments of Foot Guards. The Earl of Chesterfield was the Lord in Waitiug. The Court broke up about four o'clock. The Right Hon. Sir J. Beckett, the Judge-Advocate-General, had an audi ence of his Majesty, and took the King's commands relative to the proceedings of some Courts Martial. Viscount Low ther, Sir H. Blackwood, and Sir J. Cockburn, had audiences of the King. His Majesty, attended by Sir H. Taylor, left the Palace soon after five o'clock, in his carriage and four, escorted by a party of Lancers, on his return to Windsor. Fan' CH MON ARCH T.—Hardly any event within our' memory has excited such general enthusiasm in its favour as the late glorious revolution in France. The entire press of England has sent in its adhesion to the new order of things ; the press of Ireland has devoted itself to the cause of the constitutional liberty of the French. These are fair in dications of the public mind ; but they fall short of rendering a true picture of the spirit of the times, inasmuch as the letter is dead and silent, whilst the hearts of living men and women speak through a voice of exultation, and with the animated look and gesture of persons deeply inter ested. A friend of ours who has travelled much through the country parts of Ireland, has assured us that the senti ment of approbation is universal. and the feeling quite en thusiastic. From the peer to the peasant there is no difference of opinion—and the first question asked after the usual salu tationstf a meeting, concerns the success and prospect of the constitutional King. The elections, which are now on the eve of closing, have,by bringing large multitudes together, greatly contributed to the diffusion of a general knowledge of the events attending the expulsion of the tyrant, Charles X. and the election of the virtuous and patriotic Philip I.—and likewise given a right direction to popular feeling. Many candidates for Parliament felt it necessary to satisfy the minds of their constituents as to their opinions on this interesting subject ; and we venture to say, that should any Irish Member display a desire to inter fere with the French people in their choice of a Govern ment, or to repress the glorious spirit of independence now spreading over the Continent, that Member will have heard for the last time the voice of a Sheriff declaring him duly elected. Should the Duke of Wellington, faithful to his friend Polignac, or duped by the wily Metternich, pre sume to act on views unfavourable to the new settlement, we are morally certion that his reign in the Cabinet will not last two days after the assembling of Parliament. Indeed we doubt very much whether he can on any condition hold his ground against the tide of opposition sent in to him by the return of his Majesty's writs. The only chance he has of popularity, or of bare existence as a Minister, is to join the people in their unanimous recognition of the Kini l f . the French, and to give to the institutions of the new narchy that stability—that security from foreign interruption which the countenance and alliance of Great Britain is sure to elect...aotoring Mail. COURT INTELLIGENCE. THE KING, &c. WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY, Aug. 25. At half past ten o'clock this morning, his Majesty, accompanied by Sir Herbert Taylor, left Windsor for London, in his travelling car r i age and four, under an escort of the loth Dragoon Guards. The King, atter attending the Levee, will return to Windsor to dinner. The Queen, accompanied by Miss Fitrelarence, left the Castle this morn. lag at half-past eleven o'clock, on a visit to Bushy. Ha Majesty will return in the evening. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and his interesting son, Prince George, have left Windsor for London. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex also left this morning for Lon don. Prince Esterhasy, and others of the nobility and gentry who are staying at the Castle, again visited Ascot-heath Races. The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester left this afternoon for Bagshot. Lord Forester and Earl Chesterfield are expected to dine at the Castle this evening.... If the weather should continue favourable, their Majesties will attend the Races to.morrow. Early this morning, four companies of the 2d Battalion of Grenadier Guards marched from here, on the road to Brighton, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel JoddaeL This regi. meet is expecting to be called to Worthing, should his Majesty honour that place with a visit. It also expects to accompany his Majesty to Scotland, in the event of his going there. It is decided that Parliament will meet for the despatch of business on the 26th of October. It is supposed that the Government will lose above thirty votes by the General Election. _ _ The Italian Opera at Paris re-opens the end of September. Madame Lalande, Pisaroni, Lablache, and Donzelli, are en gaged ; as well as Malibran, if her health permits. The latter lady is still in England, being engaged for several Musical Festivals. Her health is considerably improved, but she has still a lameness, and is obliged to walk slip-shod f as she did constantly last season on the boards of the King's Theatre. Madame Pasta does not intend quitting Italy at present. Dov Ell, Auo. 25.—Within the last few days there has been great activity in the transmission of despatches across the water. A French and a Russian courier went to Calais in the Crusader Post-office packet ; as did also a gentleman from the Foreign-office, who was the bearer of a special bag from Lord Aberdeen. There are rumours of discontents in the south of France ; but accounts from Paris agree in describing it as tranquil. The birth-day of Louis Philippe, and the fete of St. Louis, were celebrated together at Calais on Monday, with great rejoicings, and a public dinner and ball were given on the occasion. Lulworth Castle, the temporary residence of Charles the Tenth, is in a retired situation in Dorsetehire, about Di miles from Weymouth, and belongs to a gentleman of the name of Weld. The family of Weld are said to be Catho lics, and the brother to the proprietor to have been lately made a Cardinal, being the first Englishman who has been a member of the Conclave since the days of Henry VIII. We are deeply concerned to learn, that a very fine young girl, Catherine, the youngest daughter of Sir Aubrey de Vere, Bart. went to bathe this morning with a female at tendant, in the Shannon waters fronting her grandfather's residence at Mount Trenchard, in this county. She was hurried beyond her depth, and unfortunately drowned. Her body was found very soon after, but life was extinct. The grief of her fond parents is beyond the power of language to describe. Her age was II years.—Limerick Chronicle of Saturday. Should the rumoured episcopal appointment take place, we may safely say that we speak the opinion of all parties when we state that it will he one of the most unacceptable which ever took place in the Church. We are assured that the delay in making the proposed opening into the Park in Carlton-gardens arises from the difficulty of deciding upon the mode in which it shall be done. Notice has been given by the General Post-office that all letters sent to Spain by Government packets will, for the future, be forwarded via Gibraltar, as the packets will no longer touch at Cadiz. The office of King's Advocate-General of Ireland, vacant by the appoinment of Mr. Leslie Foster to a seat on the Exchequer Bench, hasbeen conferred upon Sir H. Meredyth, Bart. LL.D.—Dublin Morning Register. Lisbon Gazettes to the Bth instant arrived yesterday; but they are, as usual, quite destitute of intelligence. No ac count is given of the capture of English and American ves sels off Terceira, the news of which first reached us through the Paris papers; but upon examining the list of arrivals, we find, under the date of the 6th instant, an entry at Belem to the following effect:—" The Portuguese frigate the Diana, in nineteen days from the island of St. Michael, with letters, and fifty passengers, who are—Joao Moniz de Sa Corte Real, Captain of the militia of the Villa da Praira, two invalid soldiers, and 47 passengers belonging to five prizes. " The next entry on the same day is the follow ' ing at St. Julian, viz.—" Three English brigantines, one English schooner, and an American schooner brig." 'fhese last are doubtless the vessels seized by Don Miguel's frigate. We refer to our city intelligence for further information concerning this aggression on our commerce, and for other Portuguese intelligence, which it would be in vain to look for in the Lisbon Gazette.—Times. The two brothers of the present King of France, the Duke de Montpensier and the Count de Beaujolais, both lAied of consumption ; the one at Twickenham in 1807, the latter at Malta in the year following. Of the many vicissitudes which we have lived to witness. that of Marmont, arriving as a suitor to the Duke of Wel lington, in his character of Prime Minister of England, is I not the least extraordinary. The Essex contest is said to have cost Mr. Wellesley 22,0001. and Mr. Western 14,0001. The Protestant gen tlemen who subscribed 30,0001. to meet the expense of 4 r. Tyrell's election, are understood to have expended but a third of the fund, or 10,0001. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the Ea't India House, when the Earl of Clare took the usual oath , on bein g appointed ' Governor of Bombay. His Lordship afterwards dined with the Directors at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgge street. There were present several of his Majesty's Minis ters, and many other distinguished personages. The Bijouterie, consisting of snuff-boxes, rings, &c. be longing to his late Majesty George IV. have been valued since his death by the eminent goldsmiths in the city, by whom we believe a considerable portion of them were manu factured, at 205,0001. and to the honour of the house they have offered to take them for that sum. We understand , however, the whole will remain with the present King. His Royal Highness Prince Augustus of Prussia, and suite, embarked on Tuesday morning, at the Tower, for Ostend. The Prince's departure was hastened front being obliged to be present at some grand reviews of Prussian troops, which are to take place at Coblentz. The Prussian Ambassador accompanied the Prince to the place of embarkation. Baron and Baroness Billow gave a sumptuous entertain ment at their mansion, in Great Cumberland-place , Pr e " vioua to the departure of Prince Augustus of Prussia. ithA rich and magnificent service of gold and silver plate, the royal arms of Prussia emblazoned on it, in co n j unction with those of his Excellency, excited the admirati on of the Noble Guest. The benquest consisted of every delicacy. Amongst the company present were, the Du ke of Wel lington, Earl and Countess of Aberdeen, the Lord Chan cellor and Lady Lyndhurst, Princess Lieven, the Russian. Swedish, Neapolitan, and Spanish Ambassadors and their Ladies, Monsieur de Nieman, Sir Alexander Dixon, &C. !I I' 1
