WILLIAM theTIIIRD,as be was called," of glorious and immortal memory"—although upon those epithets we could say a few words, had we time. What we have said is not inconsistent with our views as to the probable results of the late revolution, with re ference to European politics. We are not apprehensive of war from the volition of our Ministers, but from the incalculable change in political relations which the earthquake may produce. But let us not dwell on evil predictions—let us act as the feelings of all, at present dictate, with ardent admiration and sentiments of esteem towards the new Court of France, and with ge nerous becoming hospitality towards the exiled. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. We have received a packet of lettere and journals from our Private Correspondent at Paris, dated Tuesday, 17th ; and the following extracts contain matter which will not be found in any of the Morning Papers : Paris, August 17, 1830. The Chamber of Peers assembled yesterday, and pro- . . . ceeded to the formatiou of its Bureaux. Chamber of Deputies. Order of the day for the 17th of August, 1830, at 12 o'clock. Public Sitting. Re port on various Commissions. On Sunday evening, his Majesty transacted busi ness with the Ministers of Marine, of Public In struction, and of Foreign Affairs. Yesterday the King held a Council of Ministers, which sat in deli beration from ten till twelve o'clock. His Majesty after wards transacted business with the Minister of Justice. Deputations from Versailles, St. Germain en Laye, beaded by their representatives in the Chamber of Depu ties, had the honour of being received by the King, who afterwards was waited upon by the professors of the " Gar den of Plants." Count Pozzi di Borgo, Russian Ambas- aador, had the honour of an audience of the King, at nine o'clock on Sunday evening. Yesterday morning, at eight o'clock, the ex-King passed through Falaise, on his way from Argent= to Conde sur-Noireau. Between fifty and sixty vehicles, with the persons of his household, preceded the cortege ; there were about 1,500 persons, including the Body Guards. The number of horses was still more con- siderable. In passing through the town, Charles X. was reading a despatch very attentively The Duke d'Angouleme saluted the people, as did- the children. The Duchess d'Angouleme and the Duchess de Berri appeared much affected. Charles X.was apparently in good health. He alighted at the inn outside the town, and took a glass of water. A breakfast was prepared for him at a small seat belonging to M. Bellencontre. The ex- King, did not, however, stop at this place ; but a little farther on, half a mile from the town, at a mean looking inn, where he breakfasted, in a room frequented by workmen. The family was seated on forms, and, during the breakfast the public formed a circle around them. This scene lasted at least one hour. The party con versed with several different persons of various classes. They afterwards continued their journey. THURSDAY, AUGUST 19 Despatches were this morning received in town from Portsmouth, since which it has been reported that CHARLES X. and his suite had landed there. Be this as it may, it was only this afternoon that the Duke de CliotastuL, the Minister of CaLtatzs, had his first in terview with the Duke of WELLINGTON, at his office in Downing-street. The LORD CHANCELLOR and the Earl of ASERDEN were present at this interview. The Duke de Citoiszur., and the Duke of LOUXEMBOURG, are residing at the hotel in Jermyn-street. The following is a letter addressed by the Duke of Ragusa to a Lady resident in Paris : " L'Aigle, Aug. 6, 1830. " DEAR FRIEND.—Have you ever witnessed a fata lity like that which attends me ? Am I not crushed by a hand of iron ? You, who know my sentiments and opinions, think of what I have to suffer now. My only consolation is the thought, that it was not in my power to act otherwise than I have. You recollect the dispo sition of my mind on Monday the 26th, aid how our manner of seeing and thinking agreed, in opposition to another person; and how little I dreamt of what would befal me. On Tuesday, at half-past 11,the King sent for me, told me that there was some disturbance at Paris, and desired me to take the command, and restore order. Order, slightly disturbed, was restored without much effort, and the night was quiet. But at five o'clock in the morning, groups were formed, and had become hostile ; I ordered the troops to take up arms ; it was necessary for me to try and check disorders committed before my eyes, for fear of being accused of encouraging them—hence a serious con flict ensued. In the evening I rallied my troops, giving up all offensive operations, as it was no longer a mere in surrection, but a Revolution. By three o'clock my opi nion was fixed. I made a report, and I repeatedly asked for orders to treat. On Thursday I abstained from all hostility ; but I renounced my defensive position in order to preserve the Tuileries. We were assailed by the firing of muskets, which we scarcely returned. I did not allow a cannon to be fired ; and I sent the Major to announce that every thing would be settled in order to appease the assailants. Every thing seems to go wrong, when regiments turn sides. An attack was directed on the Louvre, which is an impregnable post ; but a panic seized the Swiss who defended it; their flight caused that of the troops on the Carousel, and of myaelf,who had only time to mount my horse. Several men were killed by my side, as I passed under the triumphal arch. I rallied 60 men, to give time for the troops to form themselves under the clock pavilion, and fought with them in the court of the Tuileries,to drive back those who bad entered it; and I afterwards formed my rear-guard with this handful of men. Have you ever seen any thing like it? to fight against our fellow citizens in spite of us ; do a deal of mischief to them, and be conquered at last! Is there anything wanting to make me completely miserable?—and the future ! the unjustiopi- Dion that will be formed about me. My refuge is my conscience. How many things I wish to tell you! How much business ! I accompany the King to Cherbourg. When he is in safety, my mission will be at an end. I shall quit France, and wait to see what the future has in reserve for me : I shall have courage to support it, what ever it may be. You will always love and pity me.-- When I shall have left the King, I will publish an ac count of what concerns me in these fatal events.—Adieu! Write to me at Cherbourg, poste restante, under the name of—" The following note has been communicated by the Minister of War :—" Several journals, upon the faith of private letters from ill-informed correspondents, have an nounced that an insurrection has broken out at Algiers. We have it in our power to contradict these rumours. The despatches received by the Minister of War, subse quent to that assigned to the insurrection at Algiers, make no mention of it, and up to the date of Aug. 7, give no details which lead to the anticipation of such an event " ---a% MONTMORENCY LAVAL. The Public are now principally intent on watching any point connected with the reception of the abdicated French Monarch ; which may be supposed to indicate his future views : or, what are more important to the people of this country, the future views of our own Government. We are not in the least apprehensive that our Ministers will advise any procedure towards him, that would indicate the slightest intention to acknowledge or encourage any at tempts to bemade by either himself, or race, for restoration to the Throne, which he lately occupied. The decided pa cific policy which the Duke of WELLINGTON'S adminis tration has pursued—not only through evil report and good report, but under circumstances, in our sense, tempting to a contrary course—leaves no grounds for the conjecture, that without some great change in conduct towards us on the part of the French Government, which shall change the position, and the interests of this country, any sentiments will be evinced in the present early days of King PHILLIP THE FIRST'S reign, but those of amity. It is said, and said truly, that our Financial situation, would render war ruinous to Great Britain ; or, more definitely speaking, ruinous to the present system of our public credit. But no one can deny that we might carry on war at the sacrifice of prudence; and we think no one can deny, that such a war would be momentarily popular to a very large and influential mass of the community ; who, hay ing been ruined by peace, look towards war for a resti tution of that opulence which they once possessed. A class of society—and, alas! we fear a very numerous one exists—who watch every breath of wind from a war like quarter, with the same anxiety and excitement of spirit, as the Arab of the Desert inhales the first puff of air, indicative of the departure of the devastating sirrocco. It is evident, therefore, that were our Administration cor ruptly bent on present influence and present popularity, at tin expense of future national prosperity—or rather of the safety of our financial system—it never would have waited until this juncture for rushing into war. We believe war has been avoided ; and war, as far as it can be consistent with the interests and character of the coun try. will be avoided ; because war cannot be made without ultimately, as HUME said, near a century ago, " placing those in the carriage, on the box." We therefore expect, on the present occasion, that his M A J EST Y'S Ministers will identify themselves in senti ment with the majority of his MAJESTY'S sub jects and readily acknowledge the legitimacy of the power which has placed PHILLIP the Pim on the throne,almost exactly under analOgous circumstances, to those which placed on the throne of Great Britain race of Arabs that still remain in a state of hostility. Three of the principal chiefs that were instigators of the late conspiracy against the French have been hung; and their bodies left for three days exposed to the people, as a warning to constrain them to submission. The Lazaretto at Marseilles is so com pletely filled with the sick of the African army, that it can contain no more ; and orders have been given for opening our beautiful hospital of St. Mondrier for the purpose of receiving them." For some days past, agents of discord have endeavoured to stir up the working classes. Provocation, and even money, has been offered to excite them to commit ex cesses. They have been told that, by breaking the ma chinery—that is to say, by destroying the manufactories, and obliging them to be shut up, they would create em ployment for themselves, and be enabled to live in abun dance. Meetings have been held at several points ; but hitherto the good sense of the population has rejected perfidious suggestions ; and the workmen have wisely ab stained from the excesses to which they have been insti gated. The love of order, of which they have given such admirable proofs, will triumph over the efforts made to mislead them.—Courier Francois. On Sunday morning about 1,500 artisans and work men of the capital held a meetings for the purpose of preparing a petition to the Prefect of Po lice, against the employment of foreigners in the capital ; and proceeded to the prefecture, headed by two officers of the National Guards, in the greatest order and regularity. On their arrival in the Court they drew up in a semicircle, and requested to speak to the Prefect (M. Girod de l'Ain) who immediately came down to them. They received him with the greatest respect, each taking off his hat, and calmly and fully stated the object of their application. The Prefect having listened to them with the greatest at tention, endeavoured to convince them that their pe tition was inadmissible—that competition was even of advantage to themselves, as it excited emulation and promoted improvement—that it would be unjust to ex pel men who had settled here with their families under shelter of the laws ; and who, by their labour and skill, contributed to the wealth of the country ; and that it might draw down reprisals upon the French, who in like manner were employed at London, Berlin, and Vienna ; and whereby, from every hundred men sent from France, as many would be returned from each of those foreign capitals. He called upon them, therefore, to renounce a pretension which had not arisen from themselves, but had been suggested by insidious men, eager for disturbance, and jealous of the liberty they had purchased with their blood. The men appeared to be impressed both with the good sense and truth of these arguments ; and retired with the same order and regularity as they came. To meet the momentary embarrassment experienced by the commerce of Paris, the Council General of the Bank, at a special meeting held on Friday last, deter mined that the Bank, deviating in this particular instance from its statutes,would, during one month from the day of meeting, discount commercial bills of exchange, drawn upon unstamped paper. M. Le Royer, an officer of the Staff of the National Guards, with a detachment, went on Sunday to the Cemetry of Pere la Chaise, and hoisted the tri-coloured flag upon the tomb of General Foy. On passing the grave of Marshal Ney, the detachment halted, and rendered military honours to the ashes of the " bravest of the brave." A rumour prevailed yesterday of a serious affray having taken place on Sunday evening at the Barracks des Mi nimes, near the Place Royale, in which several persons had lost their lives. Upon enquiry, it turned out, that a party of Gendarmes, who formerly occupied the barracks, had gone to claim some effects which they had left be hind, and they were opposed by the National Guards. A dispute ensued, but no blood was shed, and order was speedily restored. All the posts, however, of the Na tional Guards, were doubled last night. A scene took place yesterday morning in the Place Ven dome, which might have been attended with serious consequences. Colonel Plazanet, Commander of the Sapeurs Pompiers, mustered his corps for a review, or inspection; but his men refused to obey, and insisted upon his dismissal on the ground. It is said, that during the late events he had persisted in endeavouring to force his men to fire on the people, notwithstanding their refusal. The Commander of the Garrison of Paris, with his Staff, came from the Etut Major, and, after some difficulty, succeeded in inducing the men to retire to their quarters, and was conducting the Co.. lonel to the Hotel of the Etat-Major, when the populace broke in upon them, and handled the Colonel very roughly—in such a manner as will give him cause to re member the day. It was with much difficulty that he was released from his perilous situation, and he certainly owed his life to the interference of the brave Col. Fabvier, who pledged himself for his patriotism. It is a pleasure to insert the followinghonourable men tion of our countryman, Mr. Roberts; and the more so as I our correspondent informs us,that even the praise bestowed ; on the talented gentleman by the Constitutionnel, and other Paris papers, falls far short of what is due to him, for the zeal he displayed on the memorable days of the 27th, 28th, and 29th of July, was only equalled by the coura- , geous resistance of the brave Parisians, to the infamous ordonnances of the infatuated Charles I .—" Humanity I is of no party : and we cannot withhold our mead of praise from the benevolent exertions of Mr. Roberts and his associates, Messrs. Moore and Budgett. Every branch of the Surgical Dispensary in the Place Vendome was put in full requisition. Each vied with the other in rendering assistance to the wounded combatants—even the sheets from the beds were torn up for bandages, and every at tention that skill or benevolence could dictate was sup plied. We are happy to find that the example so lau dably set by Mr. Roberts, has been followed by many others of his countrymen." The law of elections presented yesterday does not ap pear to us to be a very brilliant debut for Ministers. What amendment does it propose besides the changes already mentioned in the new Charter? None what ever ! Still the same qualification of 300 f. for taxes for an election, and what is worse still, the same qua lification of 1000 f. for a Member ! It will be said that this may be remedied by amendments originating with the Chamber itself. But Ministers have mistaken their position in not taking the lead. They have the air of hoping that the Chamber will be as over-weeningly timid as themselves; that thus the law will pass as it is; that the choice of the electors thus circumstanced within Extract et a private letter tram Tooke, dated the I Ith inst. the narrow compass of the notables will bring bask to the The store ship La Bayonnaise arrived this morning Chamber, men nearly similar to those who already sit from Algiers, where at the time of her departure no in it; and that this Chamber declared from hemeslorth intelligence of the recent events in France had been re- sufficiently national, by maintaining itself some time calved.

Ministers have proposed a transitory election law, the object of which is to abolish the double vote. The proposition is laudable, for the double vote was one of the most unpopular acts of the late Government. The double vote gave to the great landholders a considerable and fatal influence. The great colleges alone furnished the minority who had their seats on the DROITE. The object of this law being altogether transitory, it has been sought not to touch any of the essential conditions of our legislation. Thus the qualifying tax, which is one of the most important conditions of our present legislation, has net been touched. We certainly approve the inten tion of postponing all difficult questions to next session, and attending during the present session to those only which are urgent. --National. The remains of Marshal Ney will shortly be removed to the Pantheon (Church of St. Genevieve), which is t.) be restored to its former destination. It is said that the statue of General Foy is to be placed on the pedestal erected for that of Louis XVIII. in the Place du Palai4 Bourbon. The Municipal Commission of Paris have de cided that the execution of criminals shall cease to b.. carried into effect in the Place de Gri.ve, as that spot si been illustrated by the blood of the victims in the cau4o of liberty. PARIS STOCK EXCHANGE, AUG. 16, FIVE o'CLock. —Very large sales have been made to day, and much anxiety in the market. The price of Stocks has expe rienced a very considerable fall, although towards the close of the day an improvement took place upon previous quotations. For money, the 5 per Cents. have fallen 95e; the 4 per Cents. lir. 50; the 3 per Cents. 1 fr. 60c ; Haytian, 15fr; Guebhard's, 2 ; Neapolitan have risen 50c ; Cortes, ; Rentes Perpkuelles, 1. For the enci of the month the 5 per Cents. have declined Ifr. 10c ; the 3 per Cents. lfr. 30c ; Neapolitan, 50 ; the Itente3 Perpkuelles have improved 21. Letters from Madrid, of the Bth inAtant, show that, at that period, there had not been the least disturb ance in any part of the country, though the public mind was evidently much agitated. A Council had been held at the Granja, to deliberate on the measures to be taken. P. S. All the print-sh op a re filled with portraits, and scenes, from Buonaparte's battles, which are placed more prominent than formerly ; and last night I observed some silk handkerchiefs in the first draper's shops, wit It a very elegant symbol printed in the centre. It was an eagle with the tri-coloured flag in its claws, hovering over the grave of Napoleon at St. Helena. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. By the Estafette letters this morning from Paris, we have received the price of the French 3 per cents. 77 35. The letters do not bring any news of importance—all was tranquil. The public are anxiously waiting to hear the result of our Ministers in regard to Charles X. and his family, if they are to remain in this country. Consols, which left off yesterday at 911, buyers, opened at the same price and at present they are 91i i for the Account.

Philadelphia Papers to the 21st of July have been re ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house. From the paper of the 20th July VERA Cauz, 21st June.—By to-day's mail we learn that the army of the Government have experienced a reverse near Acapateo, by the forces under Guerero and Minez. The official paper is silent on the subject ; but the news may be relied on. Letters differ according to their politics ; one party representing the affair as a com plete route of Bravo's forces, and the other as a strata gem ; the sole object of which was the possession of hi., person, and then add, that it will not improve the stabi lity of the Government.

CITY, HALF PAST ONE. We are positively informed that our Ministers had no information of Charles the Tenth's coming to this country. It is stated he has landed in the Isle of Wight.

As we exclusively intimated to our Readers last night. his Majesty, accompanied by the Duke of Cambridge. arrived at his Palace in St. James's about a quarter before one o'clock yesterday afternoon, in his travelling chariot and four, from his Palace at Windsor. Soon after the King's arrival the Russian Minister had an audience of his Majesty. Count de Moltke, the Danish Minister, had an audience of the King, when his Excellency invested his Majesty with the insignia of the Danish Order of the Elephant. The Earl of Aberdeen had an audience of his Majesty. The Noble Earl afterwards introduced to the King the Baron de Buller. About five o'clock in the afternoon his Majesty entered his travelling carriage, and left town, accompanied by the Duke of Cambridge, on his return to Windsor. The Queen has been respectfully solicited to permit the poems of the late Mr. Roche to be dedicated to her, from the success of which we hear that his widow and family look mainly for support. Commander the Hon. A. Duncombe, M.P. for Basset law is appointed to the Prince Regent of 100 guns. The Duke of Wellington arrived in town about half past six o'clock last evening from Weimer Castle. After ' his Grace's arrival, the Noble Duke had a long conference with the Earl of Aberdeen. Sir Sidney Smith had an audience of the King. The Princess Sophia visited his Majesty in the after noon. Sir Henry Hardinge arrived in Dublin on Friday even ing, and was sworn in on Saturday as Secretary of State for Ireland. Sir Frederick lamb cams on a visit to the Doke o f of Wellington, at Wilmer, on Friday, in rather a pn , vats manner, took a biscuit and a glass of wise at the Royal Hotel, Dever, and immediately embarked for France. 1!
