We have just received, by Express, the Gazette de France of yesterday, and letters of Tuesday night. The following is an extract from one of the latter :—" The Exchange has been much agitated to-day by reports of violent measures to be adopted by Government ; and the Funds have fallen in consequence. The Three per Cents. left off at 78f. 90c. and the Five per Cents. at 105 f. 20c. It is agreed upon at all hands that either the Ministers must retire, or have recourse to extraordinary measures. It is evident that preparations are making already. One division of the army of Algiers is on its way home; the others will be successively recalled, and their places sup plied by fresh troops. It is understood to be the inten tion of Ministers to collect all these troops in the neigh bourhood of Paris. Added to the present garrison. they will form a body of upwards of 50,000 men. If the new Chamber is hostile, it will be dissolved ; and a new elec toral law, published by ordonnance. The Liberal Papers are suspended, by ordonnance, until after the elections ; and the people of Paris kept in order by the military. Between this plan and resigning there is no alternative." If the intelligence which we have now communicated be all true, or even that part which is stated as not con jectural, we cannot but apprehend a recurrence of revo lutionary troubles in France. Most undoubtedly, if the Kix° shall be bold enough to attempt a dissolution of the New Chamber, 50,000 men in Paris, we pre sume, will not be too numerous a defence for the executive. The only two pieces of intelligence stated in the above as positive, are the interruptions to the Press, and the recall of troops from Algiers. The former, we think, would prove an injurious step, although there cannot be a doubt but that the power of the press in France to excite commotion, is much more than any power possessed by that important eagine here. As to the exchange of troops, it is inex plicable, on any other grounds than some possible want of allegiance having been betrayed, either in the troops at Algiers, or at home. We, very early after the expe dition, remarked that the general character of the troops forming the expeditionary army, might, if known, deve lope probably something of the views of the Government in the undertaking. We must patiently await events. In yesterday's paper, we ventured to call the atten tion of our Readers to a subject we conceive little under stood—the present situation of our West India Colonies ; and stated that we should recur to the subject on some future occasion. We had not then the intention, how ever, to fulfill our promise on the following day ; but as the object we propose will not be accomplishable in one paper, we conceive we cannot do better than proceed as far as we can' now, with the topic which we yesterday commenced. We recommended to our readers a tract lately pub lished, entitled " Considerations on the present State of the West India Colonies ;" and we now propose to give an abridgment of the facts and reasoning, which that pamphlet contains. This we are compelled to do briefly, if at all ; and the author will therefore excuse us for any damp his materials may experience, in the compression. Although we shall endeavour to use the words of the author wherever we can, we shall avoid quotation marks/. that,, in case of injury, the discredit will fall where it should fall—on the abridgers, not on the original writer. The author states, that it is now nearly two cen turies since the West India Colonies were established, by the policy of this country, to rear and extend her trade, shipping, and manufactures, by making them subservient solely to those purposes. They formed, in consequence, the stepping stone to that great sphere of commercial enterprize, for which England has become pre-eminent ; and its general wealth has probably been more largely extended through them, than by any other channel. According to the official returns printed by order of the House of Commons, the imports fronz.these colonies, even now, amount to nearly nine millions sterling, or upwards of one-fifth of the whole import trade of Great Britain. The exports amount to upwards of four mil lions. The imports into Ireland amount to 590,0001.1 or considerably more than one-third of the whole foreign imports of that country; the exports to 428,000, whilst the whole amount of exports thence to foreign countries do not exceed 763,0001. To this statement add that this trade annually employs 438,000 tone of shipping, and 23,000 seamen. Having thus made this statement of the importance to the commerce of Great Britain, of her West India Co• lonies—a statement which we conceive cannot be dis puted—the author proceeds to display the causes which at present exist to destroy these colonies, and to terminate all the commercial advantages which might be derivable from them. To protect the industry of those colonies, ought, he maintains, to be the subject of anxious care to every individual in the kingdom : for their pros perity is identified through the widest ramifications. _ If we can, conveniently, to-morrow, we will communi cate the author's view of the peculiar hardships which the West India Colonial Interest is now compelled to suffer, and the causes of such hardships. Advice' from Batavia, to the 17th February, furnish us with the full particulars of the recent events there. It appears that DEPO NEGORO had not given himself up to the Dutch ; but that in a desperate attack at the head of his forces, on their entrenchments, he had been wounded and taken prisoner. This chief, though one of the instigators of the revolt, was by no means the most influential. The indefatigable enemy of the Dutch, the Sultan of PALEMBANG, in conjunction with the inferior Sultans of the Isles of Sunda, was the prime fomenter of the disturbances; and used every means to annoy the Netherlands Government. So far from having experienced any check, this Sovereign is said to have obtained a decided advantage, in a sanguinary conflict, which took place during the latter pert of Jan. about the period that DEPO NEG 0 RO, in another quarter, had been captured. The forces of this chieftain aro re ported to have soon recovered from their consternation at the loss of their leader ; and had approached so near the Dutch Establishment, as to cause serious inquietude. The Count Duszas had, in consequence, sent a superior Officer to treat with them ; and not, as was reported, to secure DEPO NEGORO, who had then been a prisoner ten days. It was thought nothing would restore tran quillity to the beautiful, but most burthensome colony, but the yielding to the Malay population a certain portion of those privileges at present entirely monopolized by the Europeans. By accounts from Germany, we learn that in 1829 the population of Vienna consisted of 289,785 inhabitants ; of which 142,654 were males, and 147,131 females. The number of births had been 15,291 legitimate children, of which 6,999 were boys; and 5,474 natural children, of which 2,197 were female. The number of deaths had been 13.829, of which 7,295 were males. Of these 4,588 died before attaining their first year; 1,175 before four years; 1,186 from four to twenty years ; 2,470 from twenty to forty ; 2,087 from forty to sixty ; 1,924 from sixty to eighty ; 337 from eighty to one hundred ; and from beyond one hundred. During the year there had not been a single person condemned to death. MILITARY INSPECTION BY THE KlNG.—This being the anniversary of the Battle of Salamanca, was chosen for the inspection of the First Regiment of Guards, who covered themselves with glory on that important day. The colours were ornamented with laurel leaves, and the officers and privates wore the same honourable emblem. A little after ten, his MAJESTY arrived, accompanied by his Grace of WELLINGTON, and a brilliant staff. The Dukes of GLOUCESTER, SUSSEX, CUMBERLAND, SAXE COBURG, Prince GEORGE of CUMBERLAND — in his fancy hussar uniform—Lord HILL, the Marquis of ANGLISEA-•.160 wore a splendid hussar uniform—and a great number of other general and staff officers, were present. Her MAJESTY, accompanied by several noble ladies, also graced the scene. His MAJESTY and suite now peened the grand line, the bands playing, and the colours lowered, amidst the deafening shouts of the people. The KING also inspected the different columns, and resumed his station in front of the whole line. The troops then advanced before his Majesty, and gave a royal salute : they then went through their various evolutions with great pre cision. His Majesty complimented the Duke of Wel lington on the anniversary of the battle. The Duke appeared in high spirits. The Royal Dukes wore splen did uniforms. His Majesty was dressed as a Field Marshal. The spectators were immense, who frequently cheered his Majesty. Between eleven and twelve the scene closed. CITY, TWELVB O'CLOCK. This being pay-day in the Consol Market, one de- I faulter has been declared—an old member—but not of the first rate ; therefore the losses will not be of great con sequence. Consols opened at the price they left off yesterday, 920 for the Account, ex dividend, since which they have receded to 92*. Owing to the French Funds coming lower by the Express this morning, Console for Money 92 j. In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet. The following intelligence from the Spanish Frontiers was received at Paris by the Telegraph :—" Five hun dred head of cattle having been carried off by the Spa niards, from the disputed pasture lands on the Frontiers, and 5 Deputies, who had been sent on the 11th inst. to claim restitution of them, having received no satisfaction, fifteen hundred men have assembled in the Valley of Baygine to march against the Spaniards. The autho :thee of the 11th military division, upon being informed of this movement, ordered troops to be marched on that point. Extract of a letter from the Havannah :—" In future, every vessel entering this port, must pay eight dollars for stamp paper. No foreign vessels of war are now in port. The Soberano, 54, is ready, and will sail for Cadis en the 20th June, with a convoy. The Hero, 74, and the Lealad, are repairing. Commodore Labord, with the frigate Restauration, and a corvette, is still on the windward cruise." CITY, HALT-PAST ONE. The Consol Market appears to be looking up, Consols 92fj for the Account; and 92“ for Money. No other defaulter has been declared since our twelve o'clock re port, who is a person with a large family, and has in the house 14s. in the pound, which they refuse to take. This has not the appearance of English humanity to one of their old companions. The affairs of Algiers are now settled, and we cannot expect much further important news from that quarter. The speculators are now looking to the approaching meet ing of the French Chambers; and it is very doubtful if the present French Ministry will be able to maintain their ground. to : (• N.‘ 1.- Etp,•\4 .--ikkitaftgltialeAvss AT TWO O'CLOCK.

THE ICING'S LEVEE. - - - - Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, the King and Queen, ied by the Royal Family, left St James's Palace, and proceeded to the barracks in the Regent's Park, where his Majesty Ilmpected the Life Guards ; after which the Royal party went in state to breakfast with the Duke of Wellingm at Apsky House.— A vast concourse of people had assembled, who loudly cheered the Royal Family, as they respectively appeared in the balcony. About two o'clock the King returned to the Palace, to bold his first levee since his accession to the throne. - - - - - --- A guard of honour with the state colours, and the band in state dresses, occupied the 'principal court yard; and a detachment of Life Guards, with their band in state uniforms, were stationed in the large court-yard. Sir Richard Birnie, with Mews. Townsend and Sayer, assisted by a large body of t he ptew police, preserved the most excellent order, and although the levee was very numerously attended, not the slightest confusion occurred in endeavouring to gain access to the Palace. At three o'clock his Majesty, habited as an Admiral, received his Royal relatives the Dukes of Cumberland, Sussex, Gloucester, Prince George, and Prince Leopold, and afterwards Prince Frederick of Prussia, the Foreign Ambassador and Ministers, and all those having the privilege of the entrée; the King was surrounded by the Great Officers of State and other attendants.

Mr. Pusey and a Mr. H. Powna ll are talked of as being candidates. COVENTRY.-Mr. E. Ellice, Mr. Fyler, and, it h supposed, Lieut.-Col. Chatterton, will stand for Coventry . ExnTEß.—There will be three candidates for Exeter. GLOUCESTER.—There are three candidates for thi, city. Col. Webb denies that he has formed a coalition with Mr. Cooper. GIUMSBY.—Mr. Charles Wood, son of Sir F. Linley Wood, Bart. Capt. Harris, of the royal navy, and Col. Mayne, are candidates. LITCHFIELD.—Sir E. D. Scott, Sir George Chet• wynd, and Mr. Lister, have been solicited to oppose the Anson interest, and have refused. NOZTHUMBERLAN D.—The Hon. H. T. Liddell has resigned, and the only candidates for the representation of the County are Mr. Beaumont and Mr. Bell. OXFORD (City.)—Mr. J. H. Langston will contest the City with Mr. Lockhart. OXFORD (County.)—George Dashwood and J. Fane, Esqrs. will contest the representation of this county. POOLE.—B. L. Lester, Esq. and the Hon. W. F. S . Ponsonby are as yet the only candidates. READING.—Mr. Spence will not stand for till borough. STAFFORD (County).—Mr. Littleton and Sir Joh., Wrottesley have again offered themselves. STAFFORD (Borough).—Mr. Benson will not starel Mr. Campbell, the barrister, Mr. Foster Cunliffe, Mr. Ralph Bourne, and a Gentleman from Birmingham, are spoken of as ikely to be candidates. WinctiEsTßA—The present members, Sir Edward Hyde East and Mr. Paulet Mildmay will stand. YORKSHIRE.—There are five candidates for the county The weather during the past week has been mere fi. Towable to the agriculturist than for some time previoni, and enabled a great portion of those whose grass re mained uncut to save their hay in good condition. The corn never promised fairer, and according to the opinion of the experienced, should sunshine continue, a more abundant harvest was never witnessed in the county of Devon —Western Luminary. COUNTY OF TIPPERARY.—It is said this county i. to be contested. The following curious notice, dated " Gaultymore, July 12," appears in the Clonniel Ad vertiser:—" Ten Pound Freeholders ! be ready !! ! There is a man a coming who will split the Aristocratic Junction to atoms—meet me in Clonmel." COUNTY AND CITY OF LIMERICK.-4 warm con test is expected. We hear that Mr. Barrington is con ducting agent for Colonel Fitzgibbon ; Mr. levers for Mr. Massy Dawson ; and Mr. O'Callaghan for Colonel O'Grady. Colonel O'Grady is daily expected here to follow up his canvass. Mr. Spring Rice left London on Friday for this city. He has already canvassed the con- stituency by letter. Mr. Samuel Dickson is busily en- gaged in the city and liberties canvassing. The sinews of war will be in full play ; the treasury is abundant, and the candidates sanguine of success.—Limerick Chronicle. MR. O'CONNELL.—WO have just received a commu nication from Waterford, stating that Philip Barron, D. Ronayne, and Carroll, Esqrs. met Mr. O'Connell at Kilkenny, on his way to Ennis, on Saturday, and so clearly demonstrated to that gentleman the certainty of his success for Waterford—urged so strongly the anxiety of tie people to have him as a candidate—that he yielded to their solicitations, and his address will appear in the Waterford Chronicle to-morrow. We have no reason to doubt this intelligence ; indeed it comes from a source which may be regarded as authentic, and we deem it also sanctioned by probability as the course naturally to be adopted by Mr. O'Connell under the circumstances. Mr. O'Connell would not, on any account, stand for Clare while Major WlSTamara held the written pledge.—Pilot of Tuesday. COUNTY OF KILDARE.—Mr. Latouche has retired from the representation of the County Kildare. It will be the duty of the honest and independent freeholders of the county to look out for a fitting successor to their late upright and independent representative. There is one gentleman in the county who is, we think, well qualified to advocate the cause, and represent the wants, of the people in Parliament. Robert Cassidy, Esq. of Monasterevan, has, before now, distinguished himself by an accurate knowledge of the state of Ireland ; and be will, we hope, be induced to start upon the popular in terest in Kildare. It is rumoured that Lord William Fitzgerald has also an intention of retiring from the representation of the county. GaNT LE it A,N PIPER.—The wandering minstrel. known by the name of the " Gentleman Piper, " who is believed to be serving a c er tai n nov i c i a t e , an d playing for a wager, visited Dumfries a few days ago. Whether travelling incog. or in his real character, the stranger appears to have youth on his side, is well-dressed, well-favoured, handles his instrument with tolerable skill, and attracts crowds of listeners wherever he goes. On one of the days of his sojourn here-- the anniversary of Boyne Water—be struck up a cheerful lilt on the White Sands, and was much ap plauded by all and sundry. While thus occupied, an Orangeman who was near, offered the piper a retaining fee, and desired him to play a certain party tune. This proposition was loudly denounced by a sturdy Irish Catholic, who clenched his fist, gnashed his teeth, am: swore he would beat the minstrel black and blue, if he ettempted to obey an injunction so scandalous : not contented with this, he followed the piper, repeated threats, kept the crowd on the qui vine, and, in one word, annoyed him so much, that be at last told the fellow plainly, " that it would require a much better man to break his bead or his pipes either. This first led to an angry park, and to cut the matter short, the min strel laid aside his instrument, called for a ring, and gave assailant a splendid spice of his quality. According to report, he fought late a first- rate pugilist, floored his man more than once, and in the course of a very few minutes, placed him so completely hors de contlat, that in place of the ring he became a fit subject for the Dumfries Infirmary. Laughter at last gave way to pity ; such as knew Pat washed his face and helped him to bed, while the piper quietly resumed his music, and amidst the plaudits of she crowd, went on his way rejoicing. The ELECTIONO.—III consequence of the resignation of Sir William Hope, whose duties as Treasurer to Green wich Hospital prevent his regular attendance on Parlia ment, his son Mr. Hope Johnstone of Annandale, has ad dressed the ireeholdere of this county, and will be re turned, womanise, without opposition. In many respects he has a good right to befacileprincepe. Independently of the weight of family influence, which not unfrequently rules the toast in the demos of higher considerations, be =lin an eminent degree the good will and confi .7 all classes. Popularity is no bad test of character, and we believe he would have very little to fear if the system of voting in the counties of Scotland were open, in place of close, to-morrow. In the Stewartry the result will be precisely the same. it
