TUESDAY, AUGUST 31. We have received by express the Gazette de France of yesterday's date, and papers and letters of Sunday evening. The Journal des Deliats gives the following from Madrid, Aug. 19 :—" A courier who arrived here on a mission from M. CA MPANA, the Captain-General of Andalusia, told us that several bands, completely armed, and shouting " Long live the Constitution," " Follow the example of the French," have suddenly risen in that province. The public tranquillity has been troubled at several towns, and at Grenada they sung the hymn of Riego and the Trayula. It appears the police have re-established order, though not without diffi culty, and notwithstanding the patrols take their rounds night and day, with orders to fire on the people in case of revolt. The absolutists are much alarmed for their lives. M. C A MPA N A has asked for strong reinforcements, to dis tribute them in the towns of the province, under his command." The following important letter from Paris bears date Monday evening. " You may rely on the authenticity of the following.—' Lausanne, Aug. 24.—A letter from Italy, addressed to an English family resident at Lausanne, an nounces that an insurrection has broken out at Naples; that the KING, and all his family, had been arrested; the Swiss regiments massacred.' IRUN, A LI o . 23.—Spain is yet tranquil, but the Government is very uneasy. The presence of a number of Refugees upon the line separating the two kingdoms, has engaged the Go vernment here, to form a Military Commission to shoot instantly those who may pass the frontier with arms in their hands. The intelligence which we have hitherto received on the revolutionary movement—for that, it appears, is the mea sured phrase we are to designate it by—which has occurred at Brussels, is not so clear and definite in its details, as to afford the means of forming a sound judgment on its im portance. We now speak of what is before us at this hour. We are constantly engaged in the pursuit of more informa tion, and we make it a rule to give it to our Readers as speedily as we receive it ; for we conceive, at a juncture like the present, to lay before our Readers all that we re ceive, although sometimes even in a crude state, is more de sirable, than to withhold any matter which can assist to the gratification of their natural curiosity. The line of conduct which we have laid down to ourselves, since the late French Revolution, is to dedicate as much of our columns as possible, to intelligence which di rectly or indirectly can elucidate that great event, and the other connected events which appear certain to be its con sequences. We form a selection from the intelligence com municated by our correspondent at Paris, of such matter as we conceive will not be communicated to other journals; and if tl►e readers of the STAR have done it the justice to place its intelligence on French affairs, in competition with that conveyed in other journals, we think they will perceive a considerable surplus of curious matter in its favor. On the Brussels news we may remark, tbat the informa tion before the pubiic appears incomplete, in leaving a little ambiguous, the political sentiments and motives, which may actuate the Bourgeois force, on which the tranquillity of the town so much appeared to depend. We are happy to learn, by th, following letter from Antwerp, that every thing remains tranquill there ; and that the inha bitants are on the alert to prevent any popular move ment. We conceive, however, that the population of Antwerp is not so likely to display discontent, as that of se veral of the other towns. Its unparalleled Commercial si tuation, bas,'in spite of all the Hollanders could do in rivalabip, render it the fi rat commercial town in the Netherlands; and Rot terdam and Amsterdam are daily becoming morejand more ne glected: The Commercial Canals, and speculations in Steam Navigation, have, we know, turned out completely unsuc cessful ; and-never repaid those who has so adventured their capital.—The following is the private letter we allude to : ‘• The events of Friday, at Brussels, have created a great sensation here, but we are, as yet, perfectly tran quil: no popular feeling has shewn itself; and the most respectable of the inhabitants do all in their power to prevent disturbances—as anarchy is the greatest evil that could befal us at the present crisis. A letter has just been received from Brussels, stating that the Mayor had assembled the corporation at the Town Hall, and had promised to the people, that the taxes which they coal ' plain of should be taken off. The town was much more tranquil, and hopes were entertained that peace would bo restored. The troops had left, and the city was guarded by its citizens. Still, however, much is to be dreaded from the canaille, who are in extacy at the result of the Revolution in France. There is a great party in Belgium who have long been desirous that Brabant should be placed under the Government of France, and now they more show their anti-national feeling. No doubt you will have received most exaggerated accounts of the killed and wounded : it is calculated at about 200 killed, and 1,500 to 2,000 wounded. I can assure you that the spirit of Revolution is confined nearly solely to Brusells, as Holland and the other provinces feel much satisfied with the house of Orange. The King and Royal Family are here. Potter, and those who were obliged to leave with him, are at the head of all this. Our countrymen, I am happy to say, remain peaceable spectators of all these events; and no molestation is offered us, les Anglais sort tous liberaux, in the eyes of the people here. I shall write by next post." We have, in our extracts from our correspondent's letters, always thought it important not to exclude any little annec dote illustrative of the temper of the times in Paris, both as regards the Government and people ; and our private letter of this day contains some amusing matter of this description. . ... ? •,„:43-,.. , 4 -- Li: e 4 2,....*.P , ';‘,. eg• •A ' W l. lf te 3 , \''•‘‘?... .• 7. 40 *,' '" • I ' - ' '''. \-,;. ; --4, ', Cf , , , 1 CI flr Ic .1 7.4 1 , ,:'*(2F,: , , '' ' ! :44 PROM OUR PARIS CORRESPONDENT. SUNDAY, AUG. 29. The Moniteur of yesterday contains the following formal notice of the death of the Duke of Bourbon.—" Paris, Aug. 27, 1830. Conformably to a Royal Ordonnance of the 23d of March, 1816. The certificate of the decease of his Royal Highness the most high and puissant Prince Louis Henri Joseph de Bourbon-Conde, Duke of Bourbon, Prince of the Blood, deceased this day, at his Chateau of St. Leu, in the department of the Seine and Oise, in the 75th year of his age, was drawn up this day by Baron Pasquier, President of the Chamber of Peers, accompanied by the Marquis de Semoville, Grand Referendary, and by the Keeper of the Archives of the Chamber, depositary of the Registers of the Etat Civil of the Royal Family. The Count de Vile gonthier, a Peer of France, - First Gentleman of the Chamber of his Royal Highness, and the Count de Choulot, Captain-General of the Chasse of the Prince, signed the Act as witnesses. The corpse was presen t e d b y Baron de Flassan, chief equerry." In my letter of yester day, I stated to you the general rumour at Paris that the Prince had committed suicide ; and the following article in the Moniteur gives a kind of confirmation to the report:— " The Solicitor-General of the Royal Court of Paris set out yesterday for St. Leu, to inquire into the circumstances of the Prince of Conde's death." Yesterday evening, how ever, I saw a person attached to the King's household, who gave me information which sets the matter at rest, be yond mere rumour. Ho informed me that Count Cosse, a most inveterate jesuit, who was Maitre d'Hotel to Charles the Tenth, paid a visit to the Duke of Bourbon the evening before his death, and that he had been impressing upon him the ne cessity of adhering to his oath of fidelity to the late King, and that he ought to dispose of his property and follow his fortunes. On the same evening Count Cosse departed for Cherbourg. After he had left St. Lau, the Duke of Bour bon appeared very depressed in spirits, and desired that he might not be disturbed early in the morning. Some time after his usual hour for rising in the morning, a servant en tered his chamber and discovered the Duke hanging by a hook from the window, with his feet touching the ground, but quite dead. A will, it is said, has been discovered in the, Prince's chamber, by which he h as b equeat h e d th e w h o l e o f his property, which is, I understand, upwards of 30,000 a-year to the Duke d'Aumale, the King's fourth eon, upon condition of his taking the title of Prince of Conde. Mes sengers were sent in pursuit of the Count Cosse, and he is said to be arrested. We applaud with joy the measure which has just been taken by the Government, to sanction the new consecration of the Pantheon, which had been done so spontaneously by the people. The famous inscription of M. de Pastoret, re stored in three days and inscribed by a rude hand upon a piece of linen, will re-appear in bronze upon the front of the temple. Already Voltaire and Rousseau, who during fif teen years had been banished to an obscure vault, have taken their places w ithin its walls. Other illustrious names still wait a brilliant reparation, or a tardy justice. The manes of Kellermann, who gained the first battle for liberty, claim a marble monument, on which will be read the glorious name of Valmy ! The remains of Larochefoucault-Liancourt thrown in the mire by the agents of police of Delavau— those of David, who died in exile—of Girodet, of Camille Jordan—of Monge, the founder of the Polytechnique school—of Foy, of Manuel, and of many others, who having their place marked out in the pantheon—it is but just that they should be placed there. But there is another use against which a gothic pre judice shut the gates of the Academy —and which ought to be removed. The monument of Garrick is placed in Westminster Abbey, between those of, Milton and Shakspear ; and not far from the mausoleum of the Kings of England—and why should not we have, like the " Poets' Corner" of the English, a corner reserved for our poets ? Would the statue of Talma be displaced in the midst of the monuments raised to our men of letters and men of genius ? We submit this idea to the Commission charged to restore the Pantheon to its primitive object; and as the names of Lafayette and Jourdan are to be found in that Commission, it is a guarantee that merit and genius will not be rejected.—Le Temps. The sum of 1,200 francs for the victims of July, has been sent from Florence to the Constitutionnel, with the following letter : Sir—We are far from France, but brought up to cherish it, and proud of the noble title of Frenchmen, which our dear countrymen again so recently illustrated. We feel the wish of contributing to the wants of those, amongst whom we should have been so happy to have shared the danger and glory; but since we hare not been able to parti c ip ate i n t h e i r happiness, let theii, at least, accept the humble offering of my brother and myself. " Accept, ac. " NAPOLEON BONAPARTL " LOUIE BONAPARTE." This day the grand review will take place in the Champ de Mars, but the King will not be on the ground till after the time of the post leaving Paris, it will not be in my power to give you any description of till to-morrow. The Na tional Guards are neve mustering in their different depart ments, and it is expected that there will be from fifty to sixty thousand fully equipped. The King is to present them with their colours to-day, and the train of artillery is very shortly to be annexed to the National Guards, which will certainly make them a very effective force. Three thousand are to remain in Paris during the review, to guard the city—not that any danger exists to require their pre sence ; but as the bulk of the inhabitants of Paris will pour forth to the Champ de Mars, it might expose the city to disturbance from evil-disposed persons, should it be left quite unprotected. Last night there was no appearance of any assembly of the working classes, and no doubt they now have had sufficient experience of the folly of their ways; and will give no further trouble or anxiety. GOD knows the working classes in France have little to complain of.— The two first days of the week, with them, is generally de voted to dancing and drinking; and during the other four working days they appear to lead an easy merry life. Yes terday the inauguration of Gen. Foy and M. Manuel was to have taken place at the Pantheon ; but as many of the National guards, who were to have attended it,were busily engaged in preparing for the review to-day, and Government wished it to be as splendid as possible, the ceremony has been put off until Thursday next. The working classes have been rather squibbed lately, which as much as any thing has tended to cause them to return to their duty. Affiches have been posted up, purporting to be from the Restaurateurs, stating that they were about to call a sleeting for the purpose of peti tioning Government, to compel people to dine at the restaurateurs instead of their own houses—amendments were proposed to compel them to dine twice a day ; and that, as the restaurateurs found it inconvenient to serve their cus tomers in demi-bottles, they hoped Government would recom mend every one to drink full quarts. The French, who en joy a joke, have been much tickled with these little pas quinades, and put all classes in good humour. P. S. You may rely upon what I state to you as to the death of the Prince de Conde having been the work of his own hands. As to the disposal of his property it is at pre 'sent all rumour. Some even state, that instead of dying rich, his property is much embarrassed. I shall write you further particulars to-morrow.

The following letter hasbeen communicated by M. PERETE. Garde du Corps, dated S►. Lo, 23d August: MY DEAR FRIEND, _ _ _ We have now arrived at that part of the drama which concerns us the most—the disbanding, which will take place on the 25th. One company has given up to a batta lion of infantry, all its horses, saddles, and bridles ; they aro placed under the care and superintendence of cavalry offi cers in this province, together with our helmets, pistols, and cartouch-boxes. We have, however, been favoured—our arms are left to us, and each has taken his sword. What a dream ! We ask each other whether we are quite awake ? You are aware that we have received unrestricted dis charge, on half-pay. It is little enough for old soldiers, most of us without fortune. But never mind ; should I be obliged to be a labourer to a bricklayer, I shall be happy to possess the power and privilege of breathing and thinking without fearing those around me. You ask me for a memo randum of my journey. M • • • has promised me to give you an account of the moral part ; it is the most curious. I shall confine myself to some particulars of our movements, setting aside all the terrors and panics—the shameful pro jects and criminal hopes—in a word, all the folly and base ness, which we were witness to. We left Versailles in the night, and bivouacked in the court-yard of our ex-hotel at St. Cloud. The next day was the famous retreat of the Guards, who had been driven from Paris. They arrived in pretty good order, with drums and trumpets at their head. No scene ever caused me to feel similar emotions. All these poor soldiers, more to be pitied than blamed, embrowned with the sun, covered with dust ; most of them had not tasted food for two days ; coming in by troops, dull, dispirited, with down-cast eyes, in the attitude of brave men conscious of having committed a crime. The most mournful silence prevailed ; not a word was uttered in their ranks. When the officers of the guard told us, " that it was not true that they had received orders to retreat, but that the Parisians had driven them beyond the barriers, without giving them any chance of success, " tears run from our eyes—the sentiments of admiration, of pleasure, of sorrow which we felt, cannot be described. Our eyes were fixed upon the capital, and joy was in our hearts. The gendarmes arrived first, having been driven from the Fauxbourgs, St. Denis, and St. Martin. All the Guards encamped in the park—food was distributed to us, but in small quantities, and a general discontent ma nifested itself among the troops. Alarms succeeded each other rapidly. We mounted our horses five or six times, soon to get down again. At every instant vague reports were communicated to us which contradicted each other— restless groups emulated each other in gathering them. The king's abdication was announced to the whole camp— it was then said he was gone to Paris—at last we perceived him coming from the Bois de Boulogne. He was surrounded and proclaimed king in the court-yard of St. Cloud. Two standard-bearers from the regiments just arrived presented their flags to him. The members of a new ministry were named, taken from the Centre Gauche. This news, taken to Versailles by an officer of the staff, disarmed the populace, who were prepared to march upon Paris. On the 29th, at night, we were at the advanced posts of the gate of Ville d'Avray. We dined a few at a time, and bTturns, in the village. All at once we observed a part of our com rades falling back. Some of the country people had told them that the 50th regiment of the line, after they had laid down their arms, had taken them up again and were coming against us, with offi cers at their head. Our homes were unbridled. The first who got ready went forward, and in fact saw a com pany of that regiment (Grenadiers) coming towards us. In an instant the first squadron was in order of battle. The guards of the 2d went towards the village, when the greatest tranquillity reigned. The Colonel of the 50th had taken a company of Grenadiers to accompany him in giving back his colours. It was this which had caused the alarm. We were beginning to laugh at our interrupted dinner, when the greatest alarm spread about St. Cloud. A Swiss regiment had received orders to march against the 50th. Each, however, remained quite inoffensive. A pro clamation of Ragusa's was read to us ; giving out that as a gratification a month and a half's pay was granted to the army. At two o'clock in the morning we were peaceably sleeping on the grass, when an order to bridle and set off circulated from mouth to mouth. We only heard the sound of &crumpet. These precautions made us suppose that a leurpritM or attack was resolved on. The surprise was for us.—ln the night, preparations had been made to from St. Cloud, and, at daylight, our bivouac was attrit anon. Our kettles had scarcely been put on the fire, when we received orders for a new start. No one knew which way we were to steer. Some named Angers, others Blois ; some Angouleme. Already the well-paid and pampered parasites began to appear. A train of more than two hun dred carriages obstructed our march. At length we ar rived at Rambouillet. The troops encamped in the park, and we under the window of the Chateau, where reigned the greatest disorder. We remained there three days. 'Dis affection was going at a great rate, even amongst the devoted. News was anxiously looked for from Paris,and from the Cha teau. At last, on the second day, we had a second abdication stuck up at Rambouillet : this time it was in favour of the Duke of Bordeaux. The young duke made his appearance at our Bivouac, and the king appeared soon afterwards. We conceived that he was going to bid 113 farewell, but not a word passed, and another deception was suspected. A post of the guard had been witness to the grievous affair of M. Poques, wounded by the fire of a Swi ss platoon, at the moment he was coming forward to a parley. The circumstance was made known to us, which raised die indignation we already felt. We began to despair of not seeing the commissioner of the government, and inquietud e was at its height. The guard, who knew the blind obstinacy of the court, murmured aloud ; they threatened to aband on the cause, if they persisted in not making known their stat Q to those who sought conference. It was reported that the guard, or the few that remained, threatened us, stating that it was our perseverance which kept the king in vain hope. We were shocked that our opinion should have been so mis conceived by the guard. It was that night that several of us addressed a letter to you—smuggled, no doubt, as a:I those were you sent us. The departure front Rambouillet calmed our effervescence, which would have ended I don't know how. We did not know to what cause we were to at tribute our precipitate departure. It took place in the night, and was attended with more disorder than the previous night. We kept in cross roads till we got to Maintenon. What was left of the guard, with the exception of a di vision of gendarmes, had quitted us on the road, the Colonel at their head bidding us farewell. At the place of separation, after leaving Maintenon, there was still the whole regiment of dragoons, the rernaiuder of the Swiss, a regiment of in fantry, some curassiers and horse grenadiers, two regiments of chasseurs, of the line, and two pieces of artillery, which went with us as far as Vire. Bs" takes upon hints& to give you an account of the scene w! ere we gave back our standards; it deserves a particular recital. As to that of the embarkment, we were not affected by it the least in the world. The King passed through Cherbourg without stop ping, between two companies of guards ; we were in order of battle on the port, and it was expected that the last fare well would be very solemn, instead of which we received from the carriages one of those salutes of the hand which we were in the habit of receiving when standing at the gate of our hotel, and regarding the train when returniug from a hunt ing party. Arrived on board, the King and his son walked the deck with as much indifference as ordinary pas sengers—not a last adieu, not a wave of the hand. On our side, we turned bridle, and at night we were at Valognes. At Carentan we met 800 National Guards, who, on the rumour that the King wanted to occupy Cherboarg, weir disposed to defend the entrance—but were returning tran quilly to their homes, no doubt appeased by the Commis sioners who were in advance of us. It had been mentioned that a distribution of crosses to the Guards and some officers of divers regiments who had fol lowed us would have taken place, but as our superior officers regulated the distribution according to their fantas tical opinion of merit, murmurs arose to such a height, that few will feel any regret if they are prevented from wearing them. The letter of M••• will please you. We have seen in the late events some very singular characters—eltras who wanted 'to chastise our liberals by horse-whipping. There are two which I could name whose courage would have honoured a certain party ; but at Rambouillet they everywhere saw armed men storming the windows of the chateau, wide,' caused them to keep their courage within bounds. We had set off with straw in our portmanteaus, our wearing apparel having been plundered at Versailles; we are all, however, resigned, and return towards home in caps and smockfrocks. What is most singular in our situation is, that although miserable, we are obliged to rejoice. At Rambouillet, Colonel F • • *, a Jesuit, and es teemed at Court, said to me, " Never mind, remain tranquil, you shall be indemnified ; we are going to temporise, and in a month we shall get into Paris at the head of :200,0111) men." "Do not entertain such hopes," I answered. "It is certain," added the infatuated man, in a mysterious tone, " I know it front good authority. Adieu ! I promised you the Commissioners order of the day—here it is." " The Commissioners appointed to accompany King Charles the Tenth and Family to Cherbourg, feel it a duty, now that their mission is on the point of being terminated, to express their gratitude at the loyal and honourable conduct of the body guard, in this grand circumstance. Called to fulfil a duty of honour and fidelity, they knew perfectly well how to conciliate the exigency of duty with the respect due to the Established Government. The Gentlemen forming the Com mission are pleased to declare this : it is to that sentiment of reserve and fitness that they owe in a great measure the happy accomplishment of a mission of which the issue was of so much importance for the honour of France.

DEAR SIR,—By the Governor Phillips, which proceeds to Sydney, I can acquaint you of my safe arrival at this wretched place. I cannot refrain from stating, that in place of meeting with 2,000 settlers here, I found only 700, and these principally needy and disappointed people. The ge neral aspect of the surrounding country is truly appalling, and we are told the same of the Interior. The com mercial town, Freemantle, is a perfect bed of sand. . 1 he water, too, which the poor Orleans drink, is of the worst description. George's Roads is, without exception, the worst anchorage I ever lay in. In short, it is, to all appearance. a complete bubble ; and I do not think I shall be able to sell a single thing here. I find no alternative left me than that of proceeding to the Isle of France." CITY, HALF-PAST ONE% It appears, by accounts from Madrid, that Ferdinand will soon issue a decree, giving permission for all description of papers from France and England to be received in Spain.
