moderation. The very first words of La Fayette's first proclamation of Wednesday last would prepare any ob server for an attempt to establish a Republic ; but, like the cries of " Vive Napoleon II !" the sentiment has died away.—Returning home through the Place du Carousel last night, at a quarter to eleven o'clock—(will this be credited ? Forty-eight hours previously it still flowed with the blood of the noble fellows who had attacked and carried the Chateau ; yet I, a foreigner, traversed it at that hour without a particle of fear)—the sound of military music struck my ear ; I proceeded therefore, by the Rue de Rivoli, to meet the approaching soldiers. They proved to be the 53d regiment of the line, so often mentioned. I stood near to a Factionnaire, who was placed at the corner of the Pavillion Marsan. He was one of the captors of the Tuileries. He was aged about twenty; his costume a blue linen blouse (precisely the garment worn by the Chinese you see in London,) and trowsers of the same kind. He had a musket and bayonet, and an ample canvas bag full of cartridges suspended by a stout cord over his shoulder. The regiment approached. With all the gravity of a veteran grenadier, the Faction naire stepped forward, cocked his musket, and chal lenged the approaching column. The usual forms were gone through, and the regiment marched on, and, with their band playing, entered the Place (hi Carousel, to occupy the barrack, lately that of the Garde Royale. Do not expect any thing like connection in my com munications for a day or two. I may, however, be asked what this had to do with the question upon the form of Government? The regiment was surrounded and pressed upon all sides by the people, who shook hands with them, patted them on the back, and rent the air with shouts of " Vive la Ligne !" " Vive la brave Cinquante traisierne !" Immediately behind the regiment stood two i horsemen, who, although dressed un Burgcois, it was easily to he seen were military men of rank. One of the people who followed the column changed his cheer occa sionally to " Vive la Liberte !" " Vive la Nation!"— He was a common man, but his cheer was of a most important and alarming nature—one which, if it be came general, would impede all the measures in contem-1 !dation for the securing of rational liberty in Franco, undo all that had been effected, and open the door for civil war. One of the cavaliers, in consequence, felt it incumbent on him to arrest the exclamation of the de mocrat eve it should produce a response; and checking his horse, awl stooping to the old revolutionist, ad dressed a long speech to him in a most friendly, yet ar gumentative tone. The only words that reached my ear were the commencement, " Mon ami," and those which concluded his address, which recommended to his auditor to be plus sage. I know that there are fears en tertained that the Republicans may by possibility mani feet disappointment, if not rage, at the mention of a King (or rather Emperor, for such, it is said, will be the trtle of the new Chief of the State) ; but the Press is for a limited Monarchy, and the Press will carry the ques tion. 1 have no fears, therefore, that any misunder standing of a serious nature will arise to prevent the es tablielnuent of a free and rational Government in France, the country which has so nobly earned it. You know tno opinion which I had formed of the French nation ; that I used to joke upon their fondness for finery—the apparently trifling nature of their discourse— their egotism—their foppery—their—e4n a word, the ge neral lightness of their character. Having done this, and through you, I beg to make the amende honorable. They deserve in every respect to wear the proud title of " La grande Nation." I marked their stupefaction on reading the King's Ordinances on Monday last. I saw their alteration to successive feelings of displeasure, in dignation, and a determination to resist. I saw that de termination carried into effect, not by the coup-do main of a compact organized body, but spontaneously by the whole population of Paris, who without communication or concert, and comparatively unarmed at every point, attacked the soldiers of Government. They effected it not by a sud den and overpowering assault, but by the persevering un flinching courage of citizens without leaders, save only the youths of the Polytechnic School, exposed for three days to the tire of 12,000 men, the elite of one of the finest armies ever disciplined. I saw them on the first night (Tuesday) burst open the gunsmiths' shops, and retire quietly with their spoil to put it in order for use. I saw them, (luring and after their first day's conflict, raise the pavement and cut down trees to form breast-works and barricades, and fortify their city in two hours. I saw them modest and unosten tatious after their unequalled victory. I saw their vi gilance during the night that succeeded their triumph. I saw their submission to leaders when they appeared and to their representatives when assembled. I saw their sobriety, their honesty, their probity, their humanity, their good sense, their moderation. I see them to-day peaceable citizens, enjoying the bustle of a fete. An cient and modern history may be searched, but in vain, for events so honourable, so glorious to a nation, as those of Paris during the last five days. The news papers are filled with examples of the probity and dis interestedness of the poorer classes, who concurred in this astounding assertion of independence. I will men tion a trifling incident, in which I had myself some par ticipation, descriptive of their unpretending disposition and proper pride. I was yesterday afternoon in the garden of the Tuileries, moralising on the scene before me ; but sage reflections I will reserve. The apartments that were those of the former Kings—of the Directory—of the Emperor—of Louis XVI. and Charles X.—they were under the safeguard of the men who had entered them can Thursday. One sentinel under the passage leading to the chapel, a good-natured-looking fellow, seemed awkward in his new situation, under the gaze of a crowd loud in the praises of the conquerors of the" Swiss," and, to carry it off, entered into conversation with a brother soldier, who was apparently a plasterer's labourer. A student of the &el° Polytechnique, who had been a leader in the assault, walked up quickly to him, and with a serious air whispered a lecture in his ear. The poor fellow blushed—the officer retired when the spectators tittered. The sentinel strove to keep his countenance, but it would not do, and at length he was obliged to join in the loud laugh of the spectators. His friend had, in the mean while, taken up a position between the pillars, and drawn a book from his pocket, to which he turned with the abstract air of a man occupied by an interesting work. The railing separated us by a few yards only; I therefore asked him, unheard by the Polytechnic scho lar, what he read ? His answer was given with some hesitation —" • Paul and Virginia,' I believe," " Will you sell it " " No ;—that is, I won't sell it for money." " What will you take for it ? " He eon sidered for some time, but his arithmetic failed him ; at length lie said, " I will take the price of a /woe of wine for the company ! " " What is a broc ? " " Six litres (quarts)." " And the price? for I will give them." Here was a temptation to a less disinte rested, a less modest person. I was committed, and would have given him dos vavgeat, had he demanded it. What was his answer? " Wine of 12 sous (sixpence) the litre." I threw him a five franc piece, and he pitched the book to me—it was not " Paul and Virginia," but prayer-book—" Le Petit Paroisien." Several Eng lish, Irish, and Scotch, have fought with distinction in the late battles, and on the side of the people. Charles La Fitto is searching Paris for two Englishmen, with moustaches who, with himself, a cabriolet driver, a butcher, and another man of humble rank, took a piece of cannon. One of them is, I believe, a Mr. Knight, who lodges in Meurice's. It was supererogatory to say, " on the side of the people," for—and'a most important circumstance it is—not a single hand out of uniform was raised for the King in Paris. —Herald. SPIRIT OF THE JOUR.VALS. Times—Public interest is vehemently excittd by the proceedings in France : indeed, it far exceeds even that for the home elections, in the general mass of the people, those being excepted of course from its influence who are personally engaged in the latter. It is glorious to have broken the fetters in the hands of those who forged them for a whole nation ; and this the Parisians have done by a spontaneous and instinctive movement of their own. There was a plot on the part of the Crown and its profligate Ministers • but no plot, no premeditation, no combination on the part Of the people, even for their own defence ; and yet the latter have tri umphed. As for the King and the Duke of Angouleme, if they escape the guillotine, it is much more than such vaga bonds deserve ; but stil l we are not sorry to hear that their escape is to be permitted, or to be connived. We should have been glad if Ikcy Solomons could have been hung legally; but the stretching a point to stretch him might have been drawn into an injurious precedent against one less criminal. With respect to the Frenchiplinisters, let the law or justice work its high behests upon them,—no one will pity them : they fully deserve their fats. But let not the British public mistake: we will readily accept the assurances which we receive from all quarters, that force and warlike aggression are at an end on the part of Charles Ca p et and his son, and that they will be unanimously spurned and cast out by the voice of the whole nation. Now, therefore, is the stage clear, and now is the time for political intrigue and manoeuvring. The minds of a generous people, exulting in their victory, and proud of their strength, are open to all kinds of delusions. Advantage may be taken of their excite ment by political adventurers of the Corsican school, seeking their own aggrandisement through the disturbance of the state. Let Frenchmen, if they tender their own happiness and the peace of Eu rope, beware of such. We confess we see nothing distinct of this sort yet. but we dread popular commotions, even in a just cause; I for the fury sometimes continues and propagates itself after justice is satisfied. The Crown, it is said, is to be tendered to the Duke of 1 ORLEANS. From all hat we have heard of him, lie is a Prince worthy of it, and of the confidence of the French nation. HERALD —The people of France have taught a great lesson to nations, and the conduct of the French King ought to be no less in. structive to Sovereigns. When we compare the ferocious and in discriminate violence of the former revolution with the steady dis ciplined and considerate bravery of that which has just happened, we cannot avoid perceiving that the human mind has made great pro. green in France during the last 40 years. It is true that blood has been abundantly .hed in Paris; but, according to all that we hear, the people, in repelling force by force, have not been tempted into eny acts of cruel or vindictive retaliation. Tito; met their enemies in arms—they conquered and they spared—no recollection of injuries survived the power of resistance. Their devotion to the cause of their country was not greater during the continuance of the murderous conflict than their attention to the claims of humanity when the struggle was over. By conduct so elevated by heroism and tem pered with clemency the people of Paris have greatly raised them. selves in the estimation of the civilized world. ‘Ve have always de. precated popular violence as well as regal oppresssion : but we ad. mit, with the moat virtuous and dispassionate of philosophic states. men—the immortal Locke—that there are emergencies in the affairs of nations, when nothing is left to the people but an appeal to Heaven. Such was the emergency which Charles X. created. His insane and wicked subversion of 'the Charter, and his violation of the oaths by which it had been consecrated and guaranteed, allowed the people no alternative but an abject submission to ar. bitrary fpower, or a violent assertion of their liberties. They did not long hesitate between the suggestions of prudence and the im. perative demands of duty. Stimulated by a common sense of wrong, and a common sentiment of danger, they acted with the unity and promptitude which made their patriotism appear like a sudden inspiration. They confounded the armed bands of the tyrant, as much by the suddenness, as by the intrepidity 'of their resistance ; and the streets of Paris afforded examples of devoted heroism, which would have done credit to the proudest days of Sparta. As to the wretched old man who has been the cause of all this bloodshed, what is to become of him ? He has dis. solved for ever his connection with the French nation. He must be a fugitive on the earth, but the land that gives him an asylum cannot protect his name from the execration of history. Like our last 3lonarch of the infatuated race of Stuart, he preferred the sordid assiduities of a few malignant Priests to the love, the affection, and the honest homage of the univer. sal people. He has fared accordingly. But may not what he has attempted in Paris be but a grand experiment, to try how far the despotic principle could prevail in Europe, by the aid of mili. tary force, over constitutional liberty ? We hope he stood alone in his atrocious attack on the very existence of rational freedom in France; but a strong suspicion has gone abroad that he acted, if not under the direction, at least with the connivance, of foreign powers. Already efforts are making to procure public meetings to call on our government to disavow all intention of interfering with the affairs of France. We do not admire the policy which our Government has for some time past pursued. The attempts made to suppress the liberty of the Press in this country by proceedings that scarcely tell short of Star•chamber practice--the evident sympathy of some of our Ministers with the miserable tyrant Don Miguel—the attack upon the unfor. tunate fugitives from his oppression in the waters of Terceira—and some other acts indicative of a strong bias towards absolutism, might give some colour to the suspicion to which we have alluded —but we think it would be premature to call meetings on the sub. ject, until our Government, by some overt act, afforded evidence of an intention to assist the criminal and outcast Bourbon. We cannot believe them so base or so infatuated as to have any such intention. If they have it will soon be known, and then it will be time enough for the English public to express their abhorrence of a policy that would again embroil this country with France, for the sake of a fa. mily who have disqualified themselves to reign over any people who are not sunk in the lowest condition of satisfied debasement. Cunostrer.E.-..The all-engrossing subject of conversation is the wonderful proceedings of the last week in PRA*. Details now pour in from all quarters. We have seen letters from individuals of distinction in Paris, to their friends in London, begun before the hostilities commenced—interrupted at the moment, the writers sallied out with their muskets, determined to conquer or die—and finished when the fight was over. The streets were cut up in a thousand places --the people heaped up the stones and made redoubts of them. An English gentleman gives a description of a scene he witnessed at one of these redoubts. .Behind it the people were resisting the onset of a body of Swiss Guards. A body of females rushed from a lateral street with pitch-forks and knives, and similar instruments of des. truction, fell on the rear of the Swiss, and in the twinkling of an eye numbers of them were weltering in their blood. The English in Paris have not all been idle speculators of the heart-stirring events passing around them. The following extract from the letter of a lady, to her husband in London, alludes to an instance, by no means, we believe, a solitary one of active participation " What a pity—you that arc an amateur—that you have not been here to see a pattern revolution. The French, from being a warning, have become an example—a glorious example, to all nations. Never was any thing more prompt, more vigorous, more intelligent, and, after the must triumphant success, more moderate. And all conducted by a populace unprepared, and absolutely with. out chiefs. Note single act of unnecessary destruction or violence of any sort has been committed. Yesterday evening we walked through crowds of armed men in all the intoxication of vic• tory, without the slightest inconvenience. The trl.coloured flag and cockade were displayed in all directions; the people were parading the streets with garlands of roses hung on the point of their bayonets, and from one end of Paris to the other, nothing was heard but one universal cry of " Five /a Chat* !" I wrote to you, I think, on the 27th, but I did not yen. cure to tell you the state in which we then were, lest my letter should be opened and detained. At that time the firing was incessant, the trees on the Boulevards cut down, and the pave. ment torn up to make barricades at the end of every street. Near the Palais Royal, and further on towards the Hotel de Vile, the streets were strewed with dead bodies. It is be lieved that the number of killed and wounded on both sides amounts to not less than fifteen hundred ; even women and chil. dren have been killed ! This is melancholy, but it is to be hoped that these are the last victims of Divine Right that France will ever have to mourn for. The poor Garde Royale—my good friends of Noire Dame—how bravely have they sold their lives for sixpence a. day, and that which they have been educated to believe right. And this poor foolish King—can you believe such profound infatuation ? —yesterday at noon, he graciously granted an amnesty to his loving subjects. i dare say the poor man will retire to Hartwell, or else. where, with a conscience void of offence towards Goa and man. In fact the being a century behind their subjects in knowledge is the only fault of the Bourbons ; and, perhaps, they ought no more to be held responsible for the calamities they have been the cause of, than the bull Apis, if his worship had chosen to cut their throats on his account. However, it is to be hoped that the reign of oxen and mists is nearly at an end all over the world. My brother Charles was at the taking of the Tuileries, and went in with the rest. He brought me some scented wood from the toilette of the Duchesse de Berri. He said tlw people did no mischief ex cept tearing down the curtains to make themselves scarfs. Only one picture was shot through with hundreds of ball—it was the portrait of the Duc de Raguse. Notwithstanding their moderation, the people seemed to think that they had a fait right to make themselves welcome to the contents of the cellar. Charles says a bottle which fell to hi s s h are Itasted exactly like the sacra mental win e at Queen's. It i s now re p orte d t h at t h e D u e d'Oa. LEANS IS to be King ; but i do aot believe any thing is yet known. lam afraid all is not yet finished. As far as the nation is con. eerned, it is finished, for it is little mischief that seven madmen, with the poor unfortunate King at their head, could do. But if they should bring down others of their clan from foreign countries, this may only be the beginning of misfortunes. I cannot help thinking it is lucky that GEORGE the Foust rst is gathered to his fathers; for he might have taken into his head to meddle in the matter. The preparations for defence are not in the least relax ed, and there are said to be in Paris 70,000 men under arms. But for the 1500 killed and wounded- -alas ! for those who are left to mourn for them—this would almost have been what 1111ra beau said was impossible: a revolution of rose-water. Monsieur de B. says he saved the life of an Englishman yesterday. lam sure it could be nobody but • * •. He was sitting on a horse, haranguing the people in bad French, and exhorting them to resist. ance ; and they thought he was telling them to disperse. 31. de B. explained, and got some of them to escort him home. He was a man about fifty, with spectacles. It could be nobody but • • •. If you have any curiosity about Haiti, you would be interested by a specimen of its citizens whom we have hem; a remarkably agree able, gentlemanly person. However, I have neither time nor space to talk about Haiti. Believe me, yours, fee." What a victory has been achieved ! What an example to the nations ! Cold must be the bosom that this example will not warm. There is not a tyrant in Europe, on the other hand, who will not feel his power shaken by the victory of Paris. It banishes despon dency from the nations—it teaches them, that a nation has only to will its freedom to be free. When the mind of man is eman cipated - when he ceases to be merely occupied with his animal existence, and feels the influence of love of his fellow-creatures, love of the common good, there is nothing of which he is not ca pable. The brave Parisians cheerfully hazarded life and property in defence of their civil rights. All minor considerations were disregarded. There was but one feeling among the immense mass. One of the lessons taught by the victory of Paris will be, that an army, however brave, however ably led, may be suc cessfully resisted in a great city, when the inhabitants are driven to the desperate resolution of periling their all for their country, and have their hearts in their right places. This lesson will sink deep into the people of every country. It will, at the same time, paralyse the arm of the tyrant. If the mind only be sound—if the man have been raised to a sense of his own dignity.—he may defy violence. What has been done at Paris and the other towns of France, ought to teach us never to despair of the progress of mankind. The successes of the arms of the Holy Alliance, and still more the success of their intrigues in Spain and Italy, led many worthy men almost to despair of the good cause The nations seemed prostrate. Behold the greatest nation of the Continent appears in an instant more erect than ever she was--more heroic than ever—and more than ever int pressed with a deep sense of the value of a government of law and order! The blood that was shed in the Revolution has not been shed in vain. The agitating events toe of the last forty years have led men to estimate at their proper value the goods of fortune—to en joy them without being their slave, and have, in, short , produced that manliness of character which the long-continued prosecution of gain ful pursuits is but too apt to injure.—We cannot believe that Aus. trio or Prussia, if ever they dared to promise aid to Charles the Tenth, will now think of keeping their word. What has passed in the great Courts must be rather a matter of conjecture than of certainty. Our own Government has always, we know, been sus pected by the French. There is, we know, a profound hatred in the oligarchy of England of the consequences of the French Revo lution ; and indeed they have never disguised their dislike of the operation of the French Laws of Property and Election. Even Sir Francis Burdett cannot divest himself of his admiration of feudalism, and consequently his dislike of the independence produced by the law of succession. But there is a difference between this dislike and the countenancing such horrid proceedings as those of the French King. EXPRDI7ION AGAINST THE SPANISH GOVERN. MENT. At the hitter end of last week, secret information was received that a vessel then lying in the River, near Blackwell, carrying ar tillery, was about to sail with a Constitutional expedition against the Government of Spain. This information was on Thursday communicated to Lieut. Simpson, of the Swallow Preventive cutter, stationed at Blackwell Reach, with directions to him, should he fall in with a schooner-built vessel called the Mary, bearing a red streak, to board her instantly, and overhaul her. Shortly after sun set that evening, the suspected vessel came in sight, and the pre ventative cutter, according to orders, made towards her, and, upon Lieut. Simpson going on board her with his party, he demanded of a little man, an Englishman, whom he understood had the com mand, his papers, when he was told he had none. The party searched the cabins, but none could they find ; but discovered a large stock of fire-amts and ammunition, all of which they seized, and detained the ship and all hands, which were placed under a guard of Re venue officers. Lieutenant Simpson lost no time in making his seizure known at the Custom-house, and in a short time afterwards, Webber (and his son), a waterman, living in Fisher-lane, Green. wich, happened to be passing in his boat up the river, when he picked up a brown paper package, containing about 2,0011 circulars, printed in the Spanish language, which had been prepared by the revolutionists, to disseminate amongst the Constitutional party ; and a heavy weight was attached to the package to sink it. This package, there can be no doubt, was thrown overboard by the crew of the schooner, the moment she was boarded by the Preventive Service cutter. Webber, upon discovering the nature of the docu ments, carried them to the Spanish Ambassador, who thought it necessary to consult with Sir Richard Birnie as to what means had better be adopted towards the parties. It was subsequently re solved, in the first place, to go on board the Mary, and procure the names of all the Spaniards comprising the expedition, and to search minutely into the extent of the artillery on board. Accordingly, on Monday forenoon, Sir Richard Birnie, the Spanish Consul. two interpreters, and another gentleman attached to the Em. bassy, proceeded to Blackwell, in carriages, and embarked in a revenue cutter, to the Mary. Upon going alongside they found great difficulty in ascending the side of the vessel, as the Spaniards had taken the precaution to grease the manropes and sides of her, so as to make it almost impracticable to ascend. The Spaniards for some time had the cutter in sight, and were heard to shout aloud, and, upon her getting close to her, and all but the Consul had boarded her, a tall stout man, wearing a cloak and a cap, came on the gangway, and seated himself on the quarter, called to the Con. sul, in broken English, and said, " You are an Englishman, come up ; we like the English. The individual was said to be Gen. and was perfectly acquainted with the person and official character of the Consul, although he assumed not to know him. The officer who had the care of the deck of the revenue cutter, advised him (the Consul) not to go on board; and the Consul, addressing the individual who had spoken to him, said, " Sir, I offer no insult, therefore do not wish to be insulted," and kept his seat in the cutter till Sir Richard Bimie and the rest of the party returned. Each individual on board was called upon to sign his name (GO in number) at full length on paper, as was also Webber, the waterman who found the printed documents. The paper was then attested by witntmes, and taken possession of by Sir Richard Bimie. They then took the stock of arms, and found there were 150 muskets, 150 bayonets, 50 horse cutlasses, 60 common swords, 4 officers' swords, 4 saddles, and about 2,000 ball cartridges. The whole of the arms were deposited on board the Swallow cutter, and the ammunition on board a powder-boat lying off Bugby's. hole. Another party of Preventive Service men from Woolwich, under Lieut. Helaley, were also on guard last night, which the Spa niards spent in singing, and shouting for the Constitutional cause. It is intended to keep a strict guard over them till further plans can be devised. The affair occupies much attention, and excites considera ble interest. Lenox, JULY 9.—To-day was executed the sen tence of death passed on the 6th inst. on Antonio Maria du Neves Carneiro, Student of the University of Coimbra, and one of those who committed the ho►rible assassination of the professors of that University, who were coming to Li►bon to compliment his Majesty the King. JULY 13.—The Gazette contains an official article, with his Majesty's signature, announcing, that for the encourage ment of the linen manufacturers of the kingdom, which are the chief support of a numerous class of industrious, but indigent Jodi viduals, chiefly females, in the provinces of the North and Upper Beira, his Majesty has been pleased to decree, that Portuguese ma nufactures of Bnu shall be exempt from all duties whatever of ex portation, importation, or transit, in all parts of the kingdom of Portugal and Algarves and their colonies. Two young citizens of the United Stntes who, on the first day of the glorious resistance of the Parisian youth, took up arms to pay their debt to the sacred cause of liberty, perished vic tims of their enthusiasm.

It will be seen that Calvert is 568 behind Harris, and it was re. ported last night that he had, or would resign the contest.

The Candidates then addressed the Electors. Mr. CALVERT, in answer to a suggestion from the successful Candidate (Mr. Harris) to resign, said there were between three and four thousand voters in the Borough, of whom only a comparatively small number had polled. He had been asked to withdraw, but hr knew the feeling of the people of the Borough, and when the fer ment against hint had subsided, he should see whethet success was hopeless. In case of necessity he should resign, and express his thanks to the electors for the support they had afforded hint during SO many years. Sir R. WILSON, in his address, said he did not fear a &fca•. His hope was they would come up to the poll and return him as their palladium to the House of Commons. The election was then adjourned to this day. DOVER ELECTION. A violent clamour has been raised against Sir John Rae Reid, alleging that he is a slave proprietor, and that he is consequently hostile to the emancipation of the Negroes. Sir John publ:rhed a contradiction of the allegation, but to a certain extent the clareour was successful, and operated partially to his prejudice. Or.c of the many expedients resorted to for this purpose was a croup repre. senting a Negro family being led in chains through the man. A blacksmith, we believe, personated the male slave, and thee. others to represent his wife and children, with their skins blacks and with paint and grease, in negro complexion ; and after parading the town, clanking their chains, and displaying the most abject signs of bondage, escorted by the opposing party, the mimic Negro.. were placed upon the hustings, and NIL lialcomb sapped up, provided with a key, with which he opened the padloek. at d gave liberty to the slaves. belittle spectacle was well got up, me negroes* supplication and gratitude were well enacted, end the mimic emancipator was loudly cheered by his friends, and by o:h, tie he was heartily laughed at. Some violent feelings were manifested by the mob, some stones were thrown, and the hustings were assaili d for demolition ' but one or two of the ringleaders were taken, ar i l peace was resto red Monday the state of excitement was much increased.
