FRIDAY, IMST 13 ...... A private letter by the Estafette from Paris, makes mention of the arrival of Charles the Tenth at Cherbourg. C?Unt FLAIIAUT is reported to be appointed Ambas sador of France to the Court of London. An extraordinary courier was dispatched from Paris on Tuesday, for the Spanish Government, announcing the accession of PHILIP the FIRST. Accounts from Bucharest to the 15th ult. state that the Russian troops are making preparations to evacuate the Principalities. The news from Albania continue gloomy. It is asserted that the Greek Government has given orders for several divisions of troops to enter Albania. Some attempts at insurrection have taken place in La Vendee. Twenty-five Vendean chiefs had a meeting; but separated in peace. Another party, near Tours, ap pears to hare been in arms, but were dispersed by Ge nerals DONN A DIEU and BERALPOINT. The Duchess of ANGOULEMS is in good spirits, and talks of her nephew being on the throne in three months. The KING is about to revoke such Ordinances as hitherto prevented Frenchmen—more especially the family of BUDD APARTE—from returning to their country. Our information from our Correspondent in France to day, although not announcing any new event of im tance, is so elucidatory of the state of opinion in that country, that we havo thought proper to dedicate to it so large a portion of our columns, as almost to preclude ourselves from those remarks which it might otherwise have suggested. We call the attention of our readers to some of the-extracts which our correspondent has given , ns from the Paris Journals, particularly to the extract from La Tribune des Departement," which we fear de velopes the existence of a republican party of some acti vity at present in Paris. PRIVATE LETTER FROM PARIS. REDDISH:I THIS DAT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. PARIS, AUGUST 11. CHAMBER OF PEERS—Sivrixo or Auo. 10. This was the first public sitting of the Peers; and though the galleries for the public are not very spacious, they were not filled. Some time before the opening of the Sitting, many Members had arrived in their Peers' costume. M half-past two, the Duke de Chartres, in the thssar uniform, and the Duke de Nemours, in that of the Chasseurs, entered the hall. The two Princes were soon surrounded by a great number of Peers, who con gratulate(' them, some shaking them by the hand will' great cordiality. Their Royal Highnesses took their seats behind the Ministers Bench. At three o'clock the President took the Chair, and opened the Sitting. M: Cauchy read the minutes of the last Sitting. A member rose and said, " Gentlemen, now that our sittings are public, 1 propose that the Chamber restore the names of the members in the minutes, instead of the vague designa tion of a Memher." The President—" The standing order is opposed to the adoption of the proposition. It might certainly be convenient that the minutes should give the names of the members, but until the standing order 6e actually changed, 1 conceive the proposition cannot be 'acceded to." He then put the minutes to the , veto, and they were approved. The President ren& twoletters, one from Count Marescot, and the other frail Count Montbazon, by which t h e two no- ble members excused themselves for not being able to attend the Chamber. The President then announced that the Order of the Day was the swearing fidelity to the new Charter, and that he would proceed to read the form of the oath ; that one of the Secretaries would then call over the Peers by name, and each of those present would answer by holding up his hand and pronouncing, " I swear it." The following is the oath :—" I swear fidelity to the King, obedience to the Constitutional Charter, and to the laws of the Kingdom, and to conduct myself in all things as a good and loyal Peer of France." Each Peer, on being called, answered, " I swear it." The Marquis de Breze said, " I swear it—it is the only means of contributing to the happiness of my country." The Viscount d'Ambray—" I consider it my duty to refrain from taking part in the proceedings of the Chamber. I have not forgotten my former oath." (The Noble Peer then withdrew) The Dune de Duras—" I swear it for the welfare of France." The Duke de Fitzjames rose with evident emotion. He bore high testimony to the virtues of Charles X. and maintained that France knew him not ; but that as he thought the safety of tho coun try, in the situation in which it was now placed, and the gravity of existing circumstances, called upon every Frenchman to concur in the decisive measures adopted, he felt it his duty to take the oath. The Baron de Glan deves :—" I concur in the noble sentiments of the Duke de Fitzjames. I swear it." The Duke de Mortemart also coincided in the sentiments of the Duke de Fitz- james, and took the oath. The Marquis de la Tour-Du pin-Montauban :—" I swear for the happiness of my country." The Marquis de Verac :—" In the present state of things, I think it the only means of safety. I swear it." The number of Peers present was 133. The Duke de Chartres and the Duke de Nemours were the first who took the oath. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES—Srima or Tug 10TH. At one o'clock the President (M. Lafayette) took the Chair. A few Deputies only were present. The Presi dent announced that a proposition relative to some changes in the standing orders, had just been laid upon the table. A report was presented to the Chamber upon the election of Messrs. Mieulle and Magnan, by the department of the Lower Alps. The first bureau being convinced that the secrecy of votes had not been observed, proposed that the elections of Messrs. Mieulle and Magnan should be annulled. M. Thomas declared that there was no de- partment in which the elections had been more impro perly influenced by Ministers, than the department of the Lower Alps. The Chamber unanimously pronounced the nullity of the election of M. Mieulle, who immediately withdrew. M. Thomas accompanied him, and appeared to condole with him. The election of M. Magnan was likewise declared null and void. Letters from M. de Casteja, M. Bonlon, and the Marquis de Cordone, announcing their resignation, were read, and ordered to be referred to the Minister of the Interior. The President—M. Delessert has laid a proposition on the table—(Several voices, Read it).—lt must be communicated to the Bureaus before it is read. M. Etienne—The standing orders have been necessarily abolished by the article of the new Charter, which gives to the Chamber the right of proposing laws. M. Thoue nel—The Chamber, in one of its late sittings, took into consideration a proposition for erecting a monument, to the brave Parisians who died for their country. I pro pose that it be declared that the Members of the Muni cipal Commission have deserved well of their country. President—The Chamber has decided that all propositions should first be referred to the Bureaus. M. de Marmier.— I ask for an exception in favour of the proposition of M. Delesert. (No ! no! that is impossible 1) It concerns the victims of the late events. These victims are suffer ing—(interruption.) M. Etienne.—l beg to observe that the functions of the Questors are defined by numerous articles in the standing orders. These will be changed. I consequently propose to adjourn the nomination of Questors till after the Chamber shall have modified its standing orders. (Seconded.) The President.—There is nothing more on the order of the day.—Adjourned. A blow is said to have n struck at monopolies of every description. A petition against the privileges of the Bank of France was some days ago presented to the Lieutenant-General of the Kingdom, and another is on the point of being sent to the King against that of the notaries. The Ex-King has, it is said, left 45,000,000 francs of debts, the Dauphin 4,000,000 francs, and the Duchess of Berri 6,000,000 francs. According to the re turns of the physicians and surgeons of the hospitals, ad dressed to the Academy of Medicine, about 7000 of the in habitants of Paris were wounded on the three me morable days of July, and 1200 about the num ber killed ; so that the slaughter has been much greater than was at first supposed. Very many of the wounded have suffered amputation, and the surgeons speak in the highest terms of the fortitude and courage with which they have borne their sufferings ; whereas the soldiers similarly situated have bewailed their fate in the most piteous manner. This exactly corresponds with what I have myself witnessed, one or two instances of which I wrote you on a former occasion. It has been remarked by the surgeons, that most of the wounds have been received in front, and chiefly with musket bullets, very few with swords. " Honneur , —honorer, Eternal /air dtivoiment et a leers cen dres !" says the Constitutionnel. A simple cross, for the present, has been placed on the grave near the Louvre, where so many of the brave Parisians are buried. It bears this Inscription :—" A la mentoire des braves ntort pour /a Weide de la Liberte. La patrie recomtaissante lour roue on Eternal regret." I.frequently visit the spot—it is always crowded with visitors, who scatter flowers over the grave and hang garland and laurel crowns upon the cross. There is also a place for subscriptions for the wounded, which has been very productive. A colossal figure of Victory is to be placed on the top of the ColumnVendoine, bearing a laurel crown in one hand, for the warriors whose victories the pillar commemorates, and a civic crown in the other, in honour of the Pa risians : and it is currently rep orted here, that an appli cation has been made to the English Government to give up the ashes of Napoleon, in order to be deposited, under the column. I should hope, if such has been the case, that the application will be complied with. All the Courtiers who arrive at Paris, state that what ever towns they have passed through during the night, were all brilliantly illuminated on account of the accession of the Duke of Orleans, and the inhabitants express the most lively joy on the occasion. Charles X. has at length decided to quicken his march. He has sent away the troops which accompanied him. It will not be long be- fore we hear he has embarked. The Government, says Le Globe, having been con stituted, the Kure proclaimed, sworn, and crowned, be is now employed in re-attaching all the ogcial servants of the State, for the support of the Constitution, and th e new Monarchy. There are those who believe that the people have not the right to transfer the Crown, sett who look upon the Dnc de BOUODEALIM as the etlpt ,legitimate successor of CHARM'S •the =are in the wrong, as we think, ..and as reason and dictate; but if they think so, they will *at con- formably to their thoughts. We shall not trouble ourselves to demonstrate, the legitimacy of the contract, which has been formed between France and Louts PuLLIP; nor to lead them by sophisms to consider the oath taken to the King as a mere farce. It is not true, as theMoniteur insinuates this morning, that to render the oath to a sovereign, is merely to render to him a vague and general engage ment to consecrate oneself for the good of our fellow citizens. With such an interpretation, there is no ene my so hateful to liberty and our institutions, who would, not be not perfectly at his ease, upon seeing the KING of France receiving the oaths of the people yes terday. But the oath taken to Louis Philip, and to the Charter of the Bth of August, 1830, is to deny the right divine : it is to acknowledge the national sove reignty : it is to acknowledge all the liberties fixed by the Chamber of Deputies : in short, it is to submit to the King of the French, such as be was constituted in the revolution of the 27th, 28th, and 29th of July. The Joureal de Paris says,at the taking of the Bastile on the 14th July, 1789, was the aurora or dawn of the Revolution. It was but three years after, on the 10th of August, 1792, that the first scene of the grand drama was accomplished, by the expulsion of the family of the Bourbons. On the 26th of last July, appeared the ordinance : on the 27th commenced the new Revo lution! and on the evening of the 29th it was concluded. Thus we have, in three days in 1830, done what our forefathers could not accomplish in three years. What shall we say ? The 10th August, 1792, was but the signal of the long troubles with which liberty has been struggling. The 9th of August, 1830, has brought us peace. The following is a remarkable passage from La Tri bune des Departemes, now before us: "The Chamber, or rather the Chambers, —since there is still a Chamber of Peers—have cut short the question, which, according to our views, could not have been legally decided, with out the voice of the people, conscientiously consulted. A part of the nation, they think, are disposed to be contented provisionally with what they have done. They hope in the next session, and under a new legislation, that they will be able progressively to soften down the present state of the public ; and that editions upon editions of the Charter of Louis the EIGHTEENTH will satisfy the friends of Liberty. A la bonne heure I—No person more than ourselves has greater horror of intestine dissensions ; but nevertheless we have a right to proclaim our opinions ; we, whose friends have died in the front of the battle, and who only yes terday saw one of them expire in our arms, from the wounds he had received on the 29th. It will be asked of us what do we require ? We require a Constitution en tirely new, framed in conformity to the interests of liberty: they desire to maintain a Charter dictated by despotism and the aristocracy. Between them and us, there is but one umpire—and that is the whole nation. We demand that its voice be heard—that the two hundred and nine. teen citizens—the majority in the Chamber of Deputies— who were believed to have a right to provide a Constitu tion in five hours,—to vote it—to impose it on the people —that these deputies should have taken into consideration the urgency and necessity first to propose what they have decided upon, and submit the whole to the ratification of die people, is what we should have considered a becoming conduct. But what do we hear in answer to this ? the exclamations of M. CASEIMIE PERRIER, DUPIN, VILLIMAINE, to the amendment to this effect of M. CORCELLES. The people ! ! !—the people !! ! exclaimed they with marked derision. Yes, Gentlemen, the people !—and you cannot repulse them —not only without injustice, but without ingratitude : far it is at the expense of their blood that they have saved from proscription, and perhaps from death, those among you, who merited the anger of the ancient Court, and who had no secret compact with them. Yes—M. CASSIMIR PERRIER—the people! It was those young men who presented themselves before your louse, on the 27th of last month—it was those young men whom you received with such a fear of compro mising yourself—it was those young men to whom you said, they could not gain their bread in the street, and to whom you recommended respect for the legal au thorities, when one of them said to you, that his friend had been sabred at your door—Speak to the people with contempt t—You, who subsist on the wants of the pri vileged ranks, restore to us the old aristocracy ; do not render us more miserable, by substituting for an aristo cracy of titles, an aristocracy of wealth. Go, hat in hand ; make an offer of the throne in the name of the people whom you refused to consult. Continue to walk in the path of the courtier, which opens to you under the new colours ; but permit us to pursue, in peace as in war, the course which secures to u■ the esteem of the French nation. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. By the Estafette this morning from Paris, the follow ing are the prices of the French funds :- 5L per cents. 104 to 25, 3 per cents. 79 to 30, Dutch 82, Spanish 57. The hedicateur of Bordeaux relates the following, which took place on the 20th of July, between M. de Polignac and Count Ofalia :—That Polignac promised to use his exertions to obtain for Count Ofalia the ap pointment of First Minister to Ferdinand ; and, in return, Ofalia promised thirty thousand troops, to assist Polignac in his plans. Consols, which left off yesterday at 911 1 for the ac count, opened at 911; soon after they were sellers at 911 ' • at present 911 f. By the private letters from Holland this morning, the Dutch and foreign funds have got up from 1 to 2 per cent. In the foreign market nothing doing as yet. CITY. HALF PAST ONE, The heavy rain during the morning caused a dulness both in the City and the Stock-exchange ; and the spe culators have not ventured in any operations of conse quence. Consols may be quoted at present 9114 for the account. We have neither reports nor political infor mation of importance. No extra express has arrived from Paris; therefore we may presume that every thing is going on well in Paris. In the foreign market Spa nish Bonds are lower ; in other securities little doing. The share market continues inactive. In Gas Phoenix 8 prm. Chartered 9i to 10. City 90 prm. South Metropolitan Gas 21 prm. The Morning Chronicle this day says that he is as sured " on good authority, that several Spanish gentle men, anxious to leave this country, are not allowed to do so without passports ; and, being unable to obtain pass ports, they are literally imprisoned here. By what law is this piece of persecution authorised ? The Alien Law does not allow Ministers to prevent foreigners, against whom there is no charge, from quitting the country whenever they please. The Spanish gentlemen alluded to carried with them no arms—they did not even go in any numbers. The hardship of the case is, that these poor fellows had been furnished by the Spanish Committee with sums for their travelling eeoces, and this piece of METTIMNICH policy has compeled them to expend the I mosey.. We can conceive no one good reason for making this island a place of detention for all who enter it." PRTCR OF STOCKS Stock 219 5 per Cent. Red. 92 3 / 4 per Ct.

His Majesty, accompanied by Sir Herbert Taylor, in his carriage drawn by four greys, with three outriders, left Windsor Castle yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, ou an airing in the Great Park, and returned a little after one. At half past three o'clock, the King again left the Castle in his pony phaeton, with the Duchess of Glocester. Her Majesty, with the rest of the Royal Party and distinguished suite, left the Castle at the same time, pro ceeding on foot through the Slopes towards the Dairy, where four carriages were waiting to convey them through the park. Lady Taylor was the only visitor who arrived at the Castle yesterday. In the afternoon, Prince Leopold, as Colonel of the sth Dragoon Guards, inspected that Regiment at the barracks, previous to their being reviewed by his Majesty. His Royal Highness expressed his great satisfaction at the soldier-like ap pearance of the Regiment. The officers were afterwards introduced to his Royal Highness. Her Majesty's birth day is celebrated this day in grand style at Bushy. His Majesty has invited a large party to dinner. All the members of the Royal Family will be present. It is announced that the tragedy of Junius Brutus, the performance of which had been prohibited, is about to be brought out at the Theatre Francais. We are enabled to repeat, from the best authority, that the King firmly intends to visit Scotland next summer, and that the Queen and the Duke of Sussex will accom- pany him. At present its their Majesties' ,intention to visit Slain. Castle, in Aberdeenshire, the seat of the Earl of Errol, and from thence to hold a royal pro grew; through Aberdeen, Perth, Stirling, and Glasgow, to Edinburgh. This news, which, as we have already said, we do not give on slight authority, will, we doubt not, excite quite a sensation along the east coast.—Edin- burgh Observer. The Public Dinner, in celebration of the Triumph of Freedom in France, to be held at the Freemasons Hall on Wednesday next, is likely to be one of the most bril liant and animated that has for a long time occurred in the Metropolis. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, who is now in Leicestershire, comes up to town, by specific and power ful invitation, purposely to take the Chair. Lord N ;J -o SNT, Mr. WM. SMITH, and many other public men, will be present: and the Committee for conducting the arrangements, have also addressed invitations to Mr. BROUGHAM, Mr. HOSHOUSE, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and many of the most distinguished Members of Parlia ment, to assist in this national expression of British sympathy with French heroism and virtue. The gallery of the Freemasons' Mall is to be thrown open for Ladies, to be admitted by tickets only, issued by the Stewards, in order that they also may witness, at least, and indirectly participate, in the honours of a banquet, which, in addition to its popular attractions, will, in every sense of the word, most truly realize the Poet's eulogy, and be " The feast of Reason and the flow of Soul." Whilst Louis XVIII. was residing at Hartwell, he was frequently in the habit of changing horses at the King's Arms Inn, at Berkhampstead, the landlord of which has several daughters, with the eldest of whom (who is re presented to be a very sensible woman) Louis was very fond of chatting ; and to enjoy this pleasure he would frequently be driven to the inn, when no other purpose called him that way. After the restoration Louis invited his fair friend to come to Paris, whither she went and was provided with apartments at the Tuileries. Louis treated his guest with great respect, but scandal suggested that his attentions were dictated by a warmer motive than friendship. On the lady's return from Paris the injurious rumour reached her ear; and she wrote a letter to a news paper denying its truth, in which she pleasantly observed, that the King's Arms, at Berkhampstead, were the only King's arms she was ever in. The deposed King was accustomed to accompany Louis to the inn. Brussels papers to the 1I th instant, were received last night. The Duke of Brunswick, who had been for some time at Brussels, left that city on the Bth, on his way back to his own dominions. It is said that the King of Prussia intends to have an interview at Coblentz with the King of the Netherlands and the Grand Duke of Baden. It seems that the Court of the Netherlands thinks it necessary to have recourse to measures of precaution in consequence of the change of Government of France. A letter from Tourney, of the 7th August, says—" It is re ported that for some days past workmen have been em ployed in the barracks of the city, to put them in *condition to receive a garrison. The corps of artillery has received orders to make 200,000 cartridges. We learn also that cartridges have just been given to the Custom-house of ficers on the frontier, which had not been done before. It is said also that the cannon of the citadel will be fired one night, as was done is 1815, to accustom the troops to get under arms to the sound of the cannon. It is af firmed that a despatch from the War-office orders the Commanders of corps not to grant any furloughs, and to I revoke those already granted. " A Dover letter of yesterday, given in a Morning Pa per, speaks thus :—" By this day's arrivals from France we have assurance of continued tranquillity ; and, as far as the actual state of affairs is known, there is no cause for fear on the part of the English in that country. — The casual circumstance of a large importation of pas sengers and carriages on Monday last, created an er roneous opinion that our countrymen were evacuating France in haste. The fact of there being but scanty ar rivals before and since is the best proof of quietude, con sidering the facility with which a return to this country is effected by means of steam. The Sovereign steamer arrived this afternoon from Boulogne with only 40 pas sengers and three carriages. Many Irish Catholic Priests are in every vessel. They appear of the lowest order, and are very ignorant. The best informed among the passengers who arrived this day assert that there will no longer be any union between the Catholic Church and State in France." The French ex-Minister of Marine, Baron d'Heussez, arrived on Thursday evening at Eastbourne, having been four nights at lea in a fishing-boat. He made his escape from Dieppe,and it was probably this circumstance which gave rise to the report of a ferment in that place, occasioned by the flight of Prince Polignac in disguise. On his arrival at Eastbourne the Baron called on a French gentleman who was residing there, with whom le remained till the next morning, and then took his de parture in a poet-chaise for London. His luggage passed without examination or impediment from the Custom house.—Brighton Gazette. The Duke of Wellington will, we are informed, arrive at Heaton-park the seat of Lord Wilton, n the 12th of Sept. and on th e ' 13th at the Marquis of Salisbury's seat at Childwall. Hie Grace will afterwards bold himself at the service of the directors of the Liverpool and Man chester Rail-road Company. The directors, after the ceremony of opening the rail-road shall have been com pleted will entertain the Duke of Wellington and a number of noblemen and gentlemen at a public dinner. which will, we hear, be held in the Lyceum news-room.
