SATURDAY. JULY 31. SECOND EDITION. STAR OFFICE, FI VE o'C Loc x . Since the First Edition of our Paper went to Press, we have ascertained that an Express has been received in . town from Paris, dated yesterday morning, announcing the important fact that a suspension of hostilities had been agreed on between the National Guard and the people of Paris; that the KING, seeing the error into which his Ministers had led him, had sent for a select body of the deputies to meet and arrange with him a plan for mutual welfare; and that great hopes were enter tained of a satisfactory termination of the late disastrous proceedings. QUARTER PAST Two. An express has arrived from Paris, in the city ; but the contents have gone to the West-end of the town. We understand that Paris is in the hands of the people. The Duke of Rnotrss, with a large force is at its gates; and is determined to starve them out. The KING, with the Foreign Ambassador is at Vincennes. Great con fusion prevails there. Nothing is suffered to go in, or out, of Paris. HALF-PAST ONE. Although from the continued detention of the Es tafette poet, and the non-arrival of any expresses from Paris, we are without letters from France this morning, yet from passsengers who left the French capital late on Wednesday, some information of considerable moment has been gleaned. It is stated by them that in those parts of Paris where the military have been stationed, but particularly in the Palais Royal, the firing of mus ketry continued, and much blood had been shed, and that the populace had taken possession of the arsenal, from which they were arming themselves. In those points of the capital where the soldiers were not placed, tranquillity prevailed, but business was suspended. Vast numbers of English families, having failed in pro curing passports, had left the capital without any, and were hurrying to the coast. The Lady of the British Ambassador, Lady STEW AET DE ROTII SA Y, is said to have left the French capital, and to have arrived at Calais. Reports were current on Wednesday evening that Lyons was in a state of revolt, and that the insur rection was spreading through the Departments. We found, by the Dover letters, that it was reported there, that Government had sent over two steam vessels, to take on board the English of Calais and Boulogne ; and it was expected several ships of war would be sent to cruise :in the Channel. Greater numbers are said to have perished in this conflict, than at any similar one during the whole revolution. TWELVE O'CLOCK. When the public anxiety is so great, in regard to the revolution at Paris, it will be acceptable to our readers to give every detail on the subject that comes to our knowledge ; and the following is from a Gentleman, of the first respectability, who left Paris on Wednesday evening, and was an eye-witness to all that was passing : —The tri-coloured flag was black, white, and red ; and paraded about the streets, mounted on swords, pikes, and pistols. The red flag was also hoisted on NAtre Dame, and the white flag taken down and destroyed. The greatest slaughter, during the firing of the cannon I I and musketry, took place, in the quarters of Saint Martin, Saint Denis, and Boulevard des Nouveautis, where the trees were cut down, and placed by the popu lace across the streets, as a barricade against the hosts of the line. All the manufacturers at Paris have dis charged their workmen ; the arsenal of Paris was taken at two o'clock on Wednesday morning, and the arms dis tributed to the people ; but it was again re-taken, with the loss of five hundred men. All the theatres were broken open, and fire-arms and swords taken from them. —The firing continued, by platoons and cannon, from eleven o'clock on Wednesday morning, till three o'clock in the afternoon. A placard was posted up at Paris, that the KING had been overtaken at Orleans ; but the fact is, no one knows where he is gone. The Peers demanded an interview with him, but he refused to see them. —The Duchess de Berri also signified to his Majesty, that if he persisted to take away the liberty of the people.. • it would be the overthrow of his Government. The King ordered her immediately to travel ; and it is said she is at Boulogne, under an assumed name. When the Gentle- man left Paris, several parts of the capital were still lined with troops : and a cavalry regiment of the Xing 's body guard was marching in. It was the general opinion there, that the people would never remain quiet, until the King gave up the throne. We hasten to lay before our readers all the intelli gence we can collect on the state of France. Under the present interruption to • all regular communication, it is impossible to ascertain what reports may be deserving of foundation, and what not. We shall best serve our readers, we conceive, by transferring to our columns every thing in the form of information that we may re ceive in the course of the day, from quarters to which we have usually been indebted for accurate intelligence. — We shall insert nothing but what we receive by such channels of French intelligence ; at the same time, our readers will bear in mind that these channels, under pre sent circumstances, may prove very imperfect conveyers of truth. We must leave our readers to judge of the probabilities of what we may communicate. Whether the popular party are already so completely master of the field, as the existing reports would infer, mus still be a matter of some doubt ; but the fact of an existing revolutionary contest, of the most terrific de scription, is beyond all doubt. Indeed the resemblance between the news arriving from France, and that descrip tive of similar scenes, which must have occurred at the breaking out of the Revolution, strikes every person who has attended to the history of that volcano. In addition to the original intelligence which we now communicate, we have extracted from all our contempo raries, every piece of information not derived from our own sources ; and we shall continue to do so. In the exe cution of this task, our readers will find in another co lumn, an extract from the Brighton Herald, received this morning, which we give, like all such extracts, without comment. The present state of France is a subject of such ex treme interest, and engrosses so entirely the public mind, that domestic transactions, which, at other times, would have attracted a considerable share of attention, appear to be quite unnoticed. The election, indeed, does not promise its usual excitement. The City remains undis turbed ; and the feeble attempt to disturb the quiet of the Borough of Southwark, we anticipate, cannot be of long duration. Mr. Hu me seems likely to have no competi tor in Middlesex ; and it is very improbable that any fool will be found, to waste a few thousands on the good thirsty souls who might relish an op position to the two popular Members for Westminster. In the country not many of the counties are to be contested. The county of York is preparing to afford another proof of its independence and good sense, in elect ing, as their representative, one of the most valuable men that ever conferred splendour on any age or country — we need not say we so designate Mr. Baouon Am. An attempt was made at Abingdon by a Mr. MAITLAND, to oust that useful, and independent member, Mr. MA BHRLv ; but the good sense of that respectable town was not so far abandoned as to afford him any counte nance in the attempt. It is but due to the present administration to remark, that they display a more dignified conduct in abstaining much more from what, to borrow a phrase from the Scot tish law, might be called "vicious internteddling," than any preceding administration that we recollect. CITY, TWELYK O'CLOCK. In addition to the accounts published in our last, of the disastrous effects of the heavy rains in several of the West India Islands, subsequent arrivals bring intelligence that at Antigua and St. Vincent, they have also suf fered severely; at Antigua timber was selling at from 24 dollars to '25, payable in produce. The public are greatly sueprised at the express from Paris not having been received, which causes the great est anxiety ; and great fears are entertained that the slaughter has not yet finished. If an express does not arrive within a few hours, the barriers must be closed. Consols which left off yesterday at 9011 i for the Ac count, opened this morning at 91. nothing doing. The speculators are waiting for an arrival from Paris. CITY, H.4LF-PAST ONE. There is all anxiety in the City, owing to a report that an Express had arrived from Paris, and the contents not having transpired. All that we can say on the subject is, no Express has arrived, as yet, at the regular quarter. We have a report that the King of France has gone to , wards Brussels, and that General La Fayette has the command of the Natinal Guards. Consols have lowered since the early part of the nam ing, when they were at 91 ; at present may be quoted 90ii, with little doing, as the speculators will not ven ture before they have further accounts from Paris. In Shares nothing doing. Phoenix Gas 7 pm.; South Me tropolitan Gas, 2i pm.; Independent, 8 pm. Mrs. H— was on the point of her accoachment at Paris. A priest of the foreign missions was her con fessor, the father o—. This priest advised her to recommend herself to the prayers of, the Prince Hohen lohe, to obtain a happy delivery flea Heaven. The con fossor charged himself with the coseespondence. The Prince prescribed to Mrs. H— to hear a mass, which would be read in the church of the foreign missions by her confessor; he pointed oat the day and hour when this mass was to coincide with one he should himself say at the same moment. Moreover, Mrs. H— was to pay 100 guineas towards the exigencies of the church. Mrs. H— conformed scrupulously to the whole prescription. She died in child-bed three days after wards. Lord N. resided at Paris, in the rue de sieur. He was dangerously ill. He sent for the Father o—, from the foreign missions, to confess him, who likewise proposed to him to recommend himself to the prayers of Prince Hohenlohe. The Prince prescribed in the same way as he had done in the case of Mrs. H—, a mass at the fixed day and hour, and a gift of 100 gui neas to the church. Lord N. obeyed, and died the next day. Mrs. M— srepared for her departure to Italy. The same Abbe 0. • • was her confessor likewise. She consented to his proposal to recommend herself to the prayers of Prince Hohenlohe to obtain the blessings of Heaven for her journey. The Prince enjoined Mrs. M. to hear a mass, to be read by her confessor at the church of St. Joseph. He fixed, as in both the preceding instances, the day and hour. 'Mrs. M— was moreover to offer a sum of 100 guineas, under the invocation of St. Joseph, when the mass was heard ; and, when the 100 guineas were paid, Mrs. M— set out on her journey, fell of con fidence. She had scarcely arrived in the Italian terri tory when her carriage was attacked by a gang of rob. bers. when the lady had her arm broken, and her daughter was killed! 1 1 1 - 1 E EVENING STAR. COURT INTELLIGENCE. The King and Queen and the Royal party dined at the Queen's Lodge in Bushy-park on Thursday evening, The band of the Queen's Own attended on the lawn, and played several pieces in the course of ►he evening. Their Majesties returned to town about a quarter before eleven o'clock at night. The Queen, attended by Miss Fitzclarence and Baron Baumbach (Master of the Horse to the Duchess of Mei ningen,) went to the Zoological Gardens at ten o'clock yesterday morning. Earl Howe and Lord Clinton re ceived her Majesty, and conducted her through the dif ferent departments of the gardens, which occupied the Royal party about an hour and a half. From the gar dens the Queen and party went to the Colosseum, and from thence to the Diorama. _ _ _ Her Majesty returned to tl e King's Palace, St James's. _ . _ .... The Duchess of Gloucester, the Princess Sophia, and the Princess Augusta, partook of a dejeune with the King and Queen. His Majesty gave audiences to Viscount Melville, Lord Hill, Count Munster, Admiral Sir Richard Keate, Sir Henry Hardinge, and Sir Howard Douglas. At half-past four o'clock, their Majesties, accom panied by the Princess Augusta, took an airing in an open landau, and four outriders, in the Regent's Park, Hampstead, Highgate, &c. and returned to the Palace at half-past six o'clock. The Duchess of Kent visited their Majesties yesterday. His Majesty honoured Lord Holland with his com pany to dinner in the evening, at his Lordship's residence at Kensington. The Duchess of Kent, the Princess Victoria, and the Duke of Sussex, visited the Duke and Duchess of Cum berland, at their residence in the King's Palace, St. James's. The Austrian Ambassador and the Earl of Aberdeen had interviews yesterday with the Duke of Wellington, at the Treasury. Earl Bathurst left town yesterday, for his seat at Ci rencester. _ _ _ Col. John was presented to the King at the Levee on Wednesday, by Sir John Doyle. FASTILON.--In addition to the information on LA DI N Fashions, which we extracted yesterday from the Lady'. Magazine, we are confidently informed, that the long continued fashion of crosses is to be entirely abolished. Several Ladies of the highest distinction have united to testify, at once, their dislike to all distinctive badges of religious differences in a country, where fortu nately, in reality, none now exist, and their loyalty to hts present MAJESTY by the disuse of the equivocal symbol. We understand that flukes are in future to be added to the cross; and that the anchor will be displayed as the elegant and appropriate appendage to the necklaces of the British Fair, for the ensuing season, which, it is anticipated, will be more than usually abundant in gaity and splendour. The anchor will form an elegant article of hijouterie ; and, as a symbol of hope, may encourage the attacks of the gentlemen, on the hearts over which they are suspended. Whatever may be the King's conceptions of the gene ral merits of the Cabinet in being on his Majesty's acces sion to the Crown, there can be little of the high personal esteem entertained by William the Fourth for the indivi dual at the head of that Cabinet. At the entertainment lately given to their Majesties at Apsley-house, the King, in the course of the evening, pronounced an elaborate pane gyric on the Duke of Wellington, lauding his Grace as the saviour of the country, and at once the most consum mate soldier and statesman of all time. His Majesty concluded by giving the Dukes health, and desiring all the foreign ambassadors present to report to their several courts the grateful sentiments entertained by the King of England towards so well-deserving a subject. We re port this incident, not that we think his Majesty's per sonal predilection for the Duke likely to retard that mo dification which his Grace's Cabinet must inevitably undergo, in order to fit it to perform with effect the functions of Government. We tell the tale as we have heard it. leaving those who know the King best to think just what they please of this affair, as of the thousand other strange incidents rumoured since his accession.— Chronicle. WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—This day the two Representa tives of this borough in Parliament, Mr. Ramsbottom. and Lieut.-General Sir Hussey Vivian, were unanimously re-elected, upon which occasion they both addressed the burgesses in very energetic and appropriate speeches, which were received with great applause. After going through the usual form of chairing, dre. the two Members proceeded, in a barouche and four, to the houses of their different constituents, to whom they returned their grate ful thanks fur the honour conferred upon them. His Majesty and suite paid a visit to the village of Teddington yesterday, and was most heartily welcomed by the gentry and inhabitants of the place. Various triumphal arches were constructed, of flowers and ever greens, over the main passes of the village, and beauti ful silken banners and flags, healing the royal arms, anti appropriate devices were exhibited in various directions, in manifestation of the true spirit of loyalty and attach ment with which the country people at present abound. Most of our readers in Gainsborongh and the neigh bourhood will remember an old man of the name of Mat thew Hardcastle, who died only a few years since ; but the kindness and benevolence of the Duke of Clarence towards him were not so generally known. The old man had, after the death of his wife, fallen into great poverty, and after selling what he could, was com pelled to have recourse to the assistance of the as rish. In his distress he thought, by an application to the Duke, with whom he had formerly sailed tr. the Prince George, he should be enabled to get into Greenwich, Hospital, and no remonstrance would prevent his trying. Accordingly, he borrowed money from a kind neighbour, obtained a passage to London, and after re peated attempts was fortunate enough to find His Royal Highness at home. After sending in his name, he was directed to be admitted ; and,as the old man used to say, his Royal Highness met him in the passage, shook him kindly by the hand, took him into a room, and, setting a chair for him, and another close beside for himself, entered most heartily into a recapitulation of the stories of his youth, when a midshipman on board the Prince George, of which Matthew had been master of the magazine, and in consequence of his situation, somewhat in favour with the Prince. Upon Matthew's telling his state and his hopes, his Royal Highness was kind enough to say he would apply for him, but he feared it was too late. How - ever, he was to call again the next day but one, when he would tell him the result. Accordingly Matthew at tended his Royal Highness, who told him nothing could be done as to getting him into Greenwich Hospital: But. however," said he, " what will make you comfortable, Matthew ? I will allow you 101. a-year as long as you live ; and if that won't do, I will help you further. Write me I when you get home, and let me know that you are got safe down ;" and, at taking leave, his Royal Highness put sufficient into his hands to pay his expenses. Matthew for many years enjoyed this bounty, and was no niggard in his acknowledgments of the benevolence of the Duke of Clarence.—Lincoln Mercury.
