AUGUST 3. OFFICIAL. The following communication from the Earl of ABER DEEN to the Chairman of Lloyds has been posted at Lloyd's this morning : SIR, Tuesday, Aug. 3. I am directed by the Earl of ABERDEEN to acknow ledge the receipt of your letter of the 31st ult. stating the capture of four British vessels by the Portuguese Squadron blockading Terceira ; and I am directed to ac quaint you, for the information of the parties interested, that immediate steps will bo taken by his M EsT v's Government for obtaining redress. I am, Sir, Your most obedient humble servant, The Chairman of the DUNOLASS. Committee of Lloyds. In communicating to our readers the letter of Lord A RERDEEN, which has this morning been posted at LLOYD'S, we cannot help congratulating the Country on the proper spirit displayed by Government so promptly on the occasion. We feel proud to reflect that our Monarch is not one to suffer the British Flag to be insulted with impunity. Me can exert that power in defence of his people's honour, which has its dignified source iu their love. There are a great number of arrivals this morning. Buenos Ayres Papers to the 16th May, Jamaica Papers to the 3d July, Calcutta Papers to the 11th March, and Hobart Town Papers to the 6th March, have been re ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house. We have ample details from these papers now before us ; but on 'account of the other very important matters, which occupy our columns this evening, we must post pone our intended notices of these arrivals, till another day. In the mean time, we may observe, that their contents are unimportant. During the last few days, our anxiety to afford our readers all the information relative to the grand event which has occurred in France, has induced us to study the rapidity of our communications, more than their ar rangement ; but our columns of this day contain some thing like a chronological view of the past incidents ; and it becomes a natural period to indulge in those re sections which such a view cannot fail to suggest. Never, we conceive, was unanimity of admiration so completely evinced, as it has been on the present occa sion. The conduct of the Parisian populace, at this time, has been so gloriously pure from every degrad ing principle, that the common sentiment of all surround ing people, could not fail to be that of ardent applause and sympathy. At the commencement of the first great R evolution, it is well known that similar heroism, and si milar purity of sentiment , were frequently displayed ; but un fortunate and deep-seated causes of social disorganization, at that time, soon gave an opening to the introduction of vicious propensities ; and, therefore, the acts of the really patriotic, and self devoted band of Patriots, were per verted from correct objects, and assumed a horridly com bined admixture of all that was detestable, with all that was sublime. As far as the present Drama is enacted, there is not one incident, on which the properly constituted mind can not dwell with emotions of approbation and gratitude— of approbation at seeing a great people re-establish its rights—and of gratitude at feeling that, in so nobly re establishing their own, that heroic people " had fought the good fight" of all mankind, and established—not to be again disputed—the imprescriptible rights of man. Tl.e reflective mind, however, cannot enjoy unalloy ed, by suspicions of the future, the brilliant achieve ment of the past. Is it all over ?—Certainly, it is highly cheering to observe among the brave actors, as yet, the most perfect unanimity ; and it is still more cheering to observe among them, who are taking the lead on the oc casion, a rational and vigilant attention to the immediate establishment of an adequately powerful executive. We conceive the appointment of the Duke of Orleans to the justly vacates throne, is a wise measure. It relieves the nation from all the objections which might arise among surrounding potentates, as to what they have on former occasions dared to make matter of question—the legitimacy of the constituted authorities— as if any could be legitimately constituted, that were not constituted by THE PEOPLE. We rejoice to see that no experimental politicians have yet shewn themselves ; and we sincerely hope ti at none may, to disturb the arrange ments now apparently in course of execution. It does nut appear distinctly what has become of MA a- MONT and his army ; or where the KING is looking for refuge. Is it possible that any previously arranged plan may have been formed with General BouRMONT and his army to assist in case of such misfortunes ? We deem it unlikely that his army would act at his bidding. We hope no power in Europe will he found to countenance the ex-patriated Monarch, or retard his progress to join his cousin FERDINAND in his sempstress labours, in service of La Sainte Vii:rge. SECOND EDITION. STAR 6FFICE, Fit O'CLOCK. A rumour has just reached us that Prince POLIG N is taken. A gentleman who left Paris on Sunday evening in forms us that, down to that period, the utmost tranquil lity prevailed in Paris. On the road to Calais, postilions, peasants, all rank and conditions, even the ecclesiastics' wore the tri-coloured cockade : and the tri-coloured flag was likewise flying wherever there was a turret or a flag-staff. At Boulogne and Calais the people have put themselves under the new system of Government, and have liko‘ise hoisted the tri-coloured flag at the Townhouse in both places ; and the people universally display that symbol of their emancipation, in their caps and hats, delighted with their providential deliverance. We have received since the First Edition of our Paper went to Press, a long letter of the Ist of August, from a Correspondent at Paris, containing n:any interesting par ticulars of the late struggle. Much of his detail is al ready contained in our columns, but we are tempted to give our Readers a few additional facts : When the people broke in upon the Swiss Guards in the I Tuilleries, a few only who were refractory were thrown out of the windows—the majority yielded up their arms, and were, on the contrary, kindly treated. A scene then ensued within, of an amusing description. It commenced by throwing the King's statues out of the window—one was hung out by the neck. A few glasses and curtains were destroyed. The people assumed the character of police,and one or two who had appropriated something deemed of value, were forced to give it up, and were shot for their conduet. The hats of the Princes and Princesses, and their wardrobes generally, were considered fair game-- the mob put them on. The crosses of the French orders and foreign orders were taken down, and placed round the necks of the brave youths of L'ecole Poly technique. It was amusing to see the youths decorated with these orders by their countrymen•—while some of the lowest market-people assumed the dress of Generals ;—one was seen with the dress of the Duchess deBER ay , and his head ornamented with a Bird of Paradise ; another with a plume of three white feathers. With all this frivolity, there was little or no robbery. " I,"—says our Correa pondent—" say no robbery,because I was witness to what occurred. I saw one who had committed theft carried by the mob past my window, and shot. Another who was caught robbing, was struck down at once. He arose again—they tied a handkerchief over his eyes, and shot him dead on the spot. Every thing is now (Sunday) quiet." The following is our Correspondent's detail of the earliest scenes: " The slaughter in the City was great ; but difficult to calculate. What do you think of a cannon ball, of the largest size, which having entered one house, went out at four doors' distance, as in the Faubourg St. Antoine. " I will give you a more detailed account than probably yon have had of the recent occurrences here, which ensued in consequence of the act of folly of our Ex-Kiw a. On the evening of the eventful day, the crowd began by breaking the windows of the Ministers, shouting," Vive la Charte." The following morning, the tumult in creasing, the Guards were strengthened, and commenced firing on the people, with the view of terrifying them. The Royal Guard— each soldier receiving 30 francs per day—the Lancers, the Cuirassiers, the Musqueteers, the Horse Grenadiers, the Gene d'armes, the Swiss Guard, the 4th Regiment of the Line, and the Artillery, with twelve pieces of cannon, parading the streets, and firing at intervals upon the unarmed population, who were moving about in groups. The people became exas perated ; shops were shut ; workshops closed ; and every man that had a musket, or who could arm himself with any weapon, capable of inflicting death, sallied forth. The pavements were torn up, and barricadoes erected at every corner. Hackney-coaches, cabriolets, omnibuses, the water-carts, were upset, and converted to this pur pose ; even two diligences were stopped in the street, the horses removed, and the carriages overturned. Formidable ramparts were made, and broken bottles scattered over the roads, to prevent the cavalry from acting. The treason the Boulevards were cut down. These measures were suffi cient to prevent the army from proceeding along, but not from firing. The people, still comparatively defence less, becoming furious, from the numbers who were slain, threw themselves, with the pupils of the Polytechnic School at their .head, on the Royal Guard —disarmed them, and commenced offensive operations with their arms. Their first effort was to get possession of the arsenal, then of the Hotel de Ville—where the na tional colours were hoisted ; and lastly of the gates of St. Denis and St. Martin. At last the troops were vanquished. cirr, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Consols, which left off yesterday at 90i, opened this morning atl9oe and at present may be quoted 90i for the account.

PARIS, JULY 31. 1 he state of the metropolis, for the last two days, has been such as to render the publication of the Messenger, impracticable, and obliges us even to-day, although , affairs have already assumed a more favourable aspect, to limit our impression to half a sheet, and defer a great mass of interesting matter for our next. The intelligence from England, in itself unimportant, is rendered doubly so by the momentous scenes which have been acted in Paris since Monday last, of which we have endeavoured to lay before our readers a faithful account, without the slightest colour of party feeling or opinion. The want of a methodical arrangement in our articles will be ac counted for by the confusion that prevails, and the dif ficulty of getting any publication through the press. The combat began on Tuesday afternoon, at four o'clock, in the rue St. Honore, on the part of the troops, and the resistance offered was immediate. The firing continued during the whole of the night. On the fol lowing morning, the inhabitants formed but one army. Some of the National Guards re-appeared in their uniforms, and were greeted with reiterated acclamations. A ninl titude of citizens joined the National Guard. Gunpowder and arms were procured, and they marched to the Place de Greve. On Tuesday night the guard-house near the Exchange was set on fi re, and totally destroyed ; and on that and the following night all the lamps in the streets of the capital were broken. On Wednesday Paris was declared in a state of siege, that is to say, it was to acknowledge no military authority but that of the Duke de Ragusa. The principal encounters of the day took place at the Hotel de Ville, the Porte St. Denis, the rue du Cloitre St. Mederic, on the Boulevards, in the rue d'Antin, in the rue des Prouvaires, and in the rue Montmartre. The action in the latter street arose out of an attack made by the Duke de Ragusa in person. During part of the day the Place des Victoires was occupied by some troops, among whom was a part of the sth regiment of the line, I who bad long gone over to the National Guards estab- I lished at the Petits Peres. About two o'clock the Duke de Ragusa arrived at the Place at the head of fresh troops. He drew them up opposite the rues du Mail, des Fosses Montmartre, Croix des Petits Champs, and I I Neuve des Petits Champs. He immediately commanded I a charge, and on both sides several men were killed or wounded. The Marshal directed his troops down the rue du Mail, and they scoured the me Montmartre without noich difficulty, till they reached the rue Joquelet, when the citizens firing upon them from their windows, the Marshal and his troops were compelled to retreat. In the course of the day, most of the military posts and guard-houses were attacked and defended, taken and retaken, but in the end remained in the power of the National troops. The black flag was displayed on the Porte St. Denis and other monuments. In the evening the barricading of the streets commenced. A great number of the largest trees on the Boulevards were cut down and thrown accross the road ; in the streets the paving.stones were taken up, and either piled in heaps or scattered about a foot's distance, to pre vent the approach of troops ; the gate of the Palace de Justice was pulled down, and lamp-posts, scaffoldings, carts, waggons, and vehicles of every de scription, laid under requisition to form barricades. In the course of the day placards and patriotic proclamations were posted up in every direction. The citizens pro ceeded to the houses of the armourers, and took posses sion of all the arms they could find ; the same was done at the different theatres, but all the other property was respected. Several telegraphs, including that on the Church des Petits Peres, were dismounted. The sittings of the Courts of Justice, the Exchange, and all the public and private establishments, were closed on this day. Here the Swiss troops, stationed within the edifice, and a large body of the Royal Guards, supported by their artillery, again managed to keep the assailants in cheek until midnight, when the conflict gradually ceased, and the populace, exhausted with fatigue, retired for the night, having been engaged for eleven hours with a regular military force, their superiors in numbers, plenti fully supplied with arms and ammunition, and, in fine, with every advantage in their favour. The people, who seemed generally of the labouring classes, and the small number of the National Guards by whom they were assisted, not being half-armed, and several times during the day were in actual want of ammunition ! The melancholy chiming of the tocsin, sounded by the people, and the cry of Aux arises ! Aux arises ! heard at every intermission of the firing, added a fearful feeling of uncertainty as to the result of the conflict, and the fate of the brave men who were thus devoting themselves against such overwhelming odds. Thus ended the night of Wednesday. After the people had retired, a large body of the Royal Guards were stationed for the night in front of the Louvre, but about three o'clock were removed, and the defence of this part of the palace confided to the Swiss troops, three of whom were placed behind each of the double columns between the windows of the first floor, and in other parts, from which they could fire in security. At half-past three in the morning, the tocsins began to sound in various quarters, and the cries of Aux arms ! were plainly heard as the populace began to assemble. The noise of breaking up the pavement in various streets contiguous to the Palace, now plainly indicated that the attack was about to be renewed ; and at half-past four, at the extremity of the rue des Poulies, a narrow short street leading from the To St. Honore, the populace commenced removing from their places the paving -stones, in order to form a barrier on the left of the Louvre. Upon this point a mur derous fire was commenced by the Swiss troops, which was kept up without a moment's intermission during. the whole progress of its erection. A few shots were fired from a window of the house next the spot where the barrier was erecting, which, without doing much mischief, divided the attention of the Swiss ; but many of the populace fell. One of the unfortunates after he had received his death wound, cried, or rather shrieked out to his associates, Vive /a Malone !' and instantly drop ped upon the stones at which he was at work. This event drew forth loud shouts of vengeance from his companions, and seemed to make a momentary impression on the royal troops. The barrier was completed about eleven o'clock, and a smart fire kept up from it. It was from this that two of the assailants first sprang forward and pined the iron railings enclosing the front of the Louvre, where there is a dwarf wall (about two feet and a half), under which they lay down, and continued to fire ups the troops. Their example was soon followed by two of the National Guards, one of whom carried a large tri coloured flag, with which he contrived to crawl to a water butt standing close to the railing, and from behind it man aged to place the flag with his gun and bayonet on the railing of the Louvre. This courageous act was hailed with reiterated cries of ' Vive la Na-, lion,' and very soon alter about two hundred of the assailants, notwithstanding the terrific fire to which they were exposed, now rushed forward to the gate, and alter a brisk discharge, the last heard in this part of the build ing during the day, entered in triumph amid loud shouts of " Vive la node," at precisely a quarter to twelve. They were, of course, speedily followed by thousands. The contest was, however, not yet ended, for the troops still retained possession of the gates opposite the Rue du Coq, and other parts of the edifice, which they defended until their ultimate expulsion, which took place in a short time afterwards. Four charettes, filled with dead, were seen leaving the Louvre within two hours of the as sault, and many bodies were left on the grass-plot, where they were yesterday interred. About 60 wounded were also removed from the Palace by their comrades to the Hotel Dieu, and it was truly gratifying to witness the kind and gentle care with which these brave fellows treated their mutilated and suffering companions. To the undaunted courage and gallantry of the victors, it is impossible to do justice without an appearance of exag geration. Let it suffice to say, that the conduct of the people of Paris, on this spot, on the 29th of July, was never surpassed in the brightest annals of her wars. " On Thursday, at ten o'clock in the morning, the ci tizens inhabiting the quarters of St. Jacques, St Ger : main, the Odeon, and Gross Caillou, excited by the sound of the tocsin from almost all the churches, and by the unanimous shout of Vice la Char* ! came forth in arms, the mass amounting to 5,000 or 6,000 men. They had to combat two regiments of the Royal ' Guards posted in the courts of the Louvre and in the garden of the Infants, and three strong detachments of Lancers, Cuirassieurs, and Foot Grenadiers, occu pying the Carrousel, supported by a reserve of Artillery planted in the garden of the Tuileries. The attack commenced in the Garden of the Infants. The Royal Guards permitted the first assailants to approach, and there the contest ended almost us soon as it was began, by the slaughter of the front rank. Almost at the same instant, fresh assailants drove back the de fenders of this important post. In the midst of a con stantly rolling fire, the iron railings were broken down. This manreuvre, which in the end rendered the citizens master of the Tuileries, was effected with extraordinary resolution and rapidity. Still resistance was offered with bloody obstinacy on other points, particularly the Pavilion of Flora, from which a constant tiring• had been kept up from seven in the morning upon the Pont Royal, and many were killed. Musket-shots from the apart ments of the Duchess of Angouleme were fired without cessation. Therefore, as soon as the Pavilion of Flora was taken, every article offurniture, and thousands of scattered papers, among which were proclamations to the troops to stimulate them against the citizens, were thrown out of the windows. l'wice the Palace of the Tuileries was taken and abandoned, but at half-past one the citi zens were finally victorious, and two tri-coloured flags were planted on the central pavilion. Except the de struction of the furniture abovementioned, little excess was committed. Arms alone were taken, and these of course were eagerly seized wherever found, and the only trophy carried off by the victors was a very richly orna mented sword, said to belong to the Duke of Ragusa. A tremendous struggle took place on Thursday between a party of the National troops and the Swiss of the Royal Guards, in the rue St. Honors, near the ex tremity of the rue de Richelieu, and also in the place du Patois Royal, the Swiss and Royal Guards having intrenched themselves in some of the houses. The result was in favour of the popular cause, and the slaughter was very great on both sides. General Gerard and General Pajol have accepted com missions under General Lafayette. Thursday when the citizens in arms were demanding a leader, some one re commended M. Evariste Dumoulin to apply to General Dubourg. Dumoulin immediately proceeded to the General's house to propose to him to take the command. " I have just arrived from the country," said the General, " and have no uniform here." " You shall soon have one," was the reply. In fact, in a quarter of an hour, a uniform was brought. The General, with a party which augmented every instant, marched to the Place de la Bourse. There General Dubourg de livered an harangue, and they departed for the Hotel de Ville. The Hotel de Ville being already in possession of the national troops, the doors were opened, and General Dubourg entered. M. Douu►uulin went immediately to M. Lafitte's, where the Deputies were assembled, to make known these proceedings, and upon arriving learned that General Lafayette had been unanimously appointed Commander-in-Chief of the national forces. General Lafayette immediately set out, and at the head of the National Guards and an immense multitude, proceeded amidst universal accla mations to the Hotel de Ville, where he was installed in his functions. General Dubourg has a post under the Commander-in-Chief. At two o'clock the royal troops quitted Paris and retreated beyond the barrier de l'Etoile. Yesterday they had proceeded to the Bois de Boulogne and Sevres. The greatest portion of the guards are concentrated round Saint Cloud. One of their advanced pests occupy the side of a hill under Mount Calvary ; towards Neuilly on the other side, they extend towards Meudon. Means are taken to prevent their passing the bridge Of Neuilly, which, however, they have not shown any disposition to attempt. On the contrary•, everything appears to indicate a retreat. The troops refuse to return against Paris, and it is even said they threaten to desert and join the ranks of the citizens if they are again sent towards the capital. ORDER OF THE DAY. The General commanding in chief, on issuing this his first Order of the Day, cannot refrain from expressing his admiration of the patriotic. courageous, and devoted conduct of the population of Paris. They won their freedom in 1789, and Fiance will owe them the same obligation in 1830. The Commandant in chiet considers it a cause for great satisfaction to the capital and himself, that he is sided by the co-operation and counsel of General Gerard, whose name alone promises every thing for France, and for all Europe, but towards whom the General In Chief feels bound to expre.s his personal gratitude for his conduct towards his old friend on this important occasion. The generous conduct of the citizens of the capital is a sufficient guarantee that they will main tain that which they have cooquered, but the necessary repose must be united with the noble efforts which the country and the cause of liberty shall require from them. The Commandant in Chief is therefore occupied in regulating the duty in such manner that a part only of the citizens need be under arms on each day. Orders in this respect will be published. ' My dear fellow-citizens and brave comrades,—The confidence of the people of Paris has once more called me to the command of the public forces. I accept with devotedness and joy the duties intrusted to me, and. as in 1789, kite' myself strongly supported by the approbation of my honourable colleagues now in Paris. make no profession of my principles, they are already known to you. The conduct of the population of Paris during the last days of trial has made me still more than ever proud of being at their head. Liberty shall triumph. or we will all perish together! Viva la Liberec! Viva la Patric! July 29. The companies of the National Guards will continue their fonna don so happily commenced.. An Officer from every Legion is to be sent im , kody to the Hotel de Vilk for orders. The assembly were also of opinion that the Chamber should pass a vote of thanks to the whole population of Paris. The different armed corps will receive orders from head-quarters, or are to apply there tor them.
