Ihir Cormpusidcnt at Paris, to whose letters we invite Vie attention of our readers, has no confidence in the wu•ds of the BoilasoN, and we regret to say that lie gives too goon reasons fur his incredulity.

The towns resemble, at this moment, those Turkish towns, where the Janissaries, Intoxicated with come advantages gained over the Greeks, butchered, without mercy, the Christians who were without defence. All this atrocity Is, however, far form destroying the courage of the party thus persecuted, it appears rather to rouse them from that temporary apathy into which they had fallen. Guerilla parties are forming in different points : at the beginning of this mon:h, one, composed of forty foot and fifty horse, had so engagement with a • small corps of Royalist volanterni at the gates of Toledo. The commander of the latter was killed, and the Royalists completely routed. Considerable bands are organizing in Asturia and Galli. ela, which cause great inquietude. Such is at this moment the state of Spain, which, reduced to ruin by the occupation of foreign troops, is desolated by civil war, and depopulated by her own (to- The Orangemen of Ireland, it would appear, are re solved to make a violent (Fort to support their cements existence, in spite of the declared opinion of Parliament, and the known wishes of his M A 's Government; and with curious infelicity they choose to bestir them selves in this daring and unlawful undertaking. at the moment when the eyes of one of the X t ice's Ministers arc necessarily fixed upon their proceedings. A grand meeting of the Orangemen was held in Dublin on Tnurs day, and several new rules were passed for the regulation of this fraternity. The office of Deputy Grand Master, vacant by the resignation of Colonel BLACICEM, was filled by the election of Mr. VEZNER. A project is said to be entertained for the institution of two Grand Lodges, one at Dublin and the other at Armagh. The Secretary of the Lord Mayor elect, Mr. G ennui FeallONl, has been appointed Grand Secretary, and every endeavour has been made to give the Society the appearance of being in a flourishing • condition. Unhappily for its members, however, some facts have occurred which prove that it Is nevertheless in a state of rapid decline, and must perish at no distant date, under the just weight of obloquy which oppresses it. Some Peers and Gentlemen of distinction were requested to suffer their names to be enrolled in the list of the Grand Committee. It is under stood that they generally declined the intended honour, and one of them, Lord Warn i; y, with a becoming sense of what was due to his station, sent a flat refusal, remind ing the Association at the same time that it was essentially of an illegal character, and could " neither be counte nanced nor tolerated by the law of the land."

A highly respectable mercantile house in the City has received despatches from Lima, dated the 4th of May, from which we learn that at that period the Independent squadron was closely blockading the port of Callao, and that the Patriot army was at nu great distance. From these circumstances it was inferred that • general action must inevitably be fought within a short t• We are rather inclined to believe, however, that this is a step, which, under existing circumstances, Beat VAlt would be inclined to avoid, as his army is neither so uu►nereus nor so well found as that of his opponents, and 1w may annoy them most effectually by harassing them with sudden and rapid movements, in which species of warfare no General has ever equalled him, ►►ut even NA FOLEON ; and, by adhering to this course, he avoids all risk of the inconvenience to which even a slight reverse would expose him. The Spa niards in Limit, in the 111(1111 time, are not idle; they are actively employed in rutting the city in the b. st possible state of deftuce, by repairing their fortifications, and erect is new works, which the presence of an additional force will give Own; the power of garrisoning, so that au obstinate resistance may be exp,•cted.

(raou OUR CORRESPONDEXT.I PARIS, SUPT. I. ' The Authorities have at length thought proper officially to announce the King's death. Their conduct, as it re gards this important event, has been most singular, and has excited very extraordinary rumours, as well as a very strong sensation in the higher political circles. His Ma jesty had certainly no orturard signs of li jr at three o'cl.fek on Sunday morning (12th)—"' Se Alfgjesle Pica plus," was literally the phrase of the Physicians; and aczonlit.gly, at an early hour, the nest morning (Monday ), an order issued from the Tuileries to close the Theatres, Me Lovvre, and the Exchange (la Bourse), till further orders. To the utter surprise of all Paris, the same day produced a litmerri tr, signed by the Physicians, announcing aat his Majesty's weakness was increasing, and that they were com pelled to abandon all hope of his recovery. This was fol lowed by Millet* others, in succession, in some of which he was descriLl as takings solemn farewell of his family— giving them his last blessing—receiving the Communion iu the most devout manner—offering up his last prayers with a most affecting tenderness for the happiness of his gond people of France: and he was described, too, as doing all this with perfect, calm, and pious resignation. While, in truth, the Physicians who surrounded the Royal death-bed were all this while produeing,every nom and then, a start of muscular action, through the medium of GAl.ra sctc row a, anal giving his torpid and insensible frame an appearance of lilt and pulsation, when all vital energy was to all intents and purposes extinct. During this extraordinary interval, with the Bulletins protracting his lip, while the closed doors of all places of public amusement gave public tletymnstration of his death, certain Afinisterial arrangements, if the last importance ta those concerned, were going oa at the Palace ; secret counsels were held, rom hour to hour, and dicers mat :wee prepared and digested, which are t., appeor imme diately on the accession of Mascot kr: a. 11' hat could justify the issuing an order putting • stop to r.ll public amusements, and, which was of infinitely more importance, shutting up the Exchange, so that no money could be either paid or received, no Cita bought or sold, n r (Inn business transacted at the Bank of any kind. How long is this sus pension to continue? if not taken off it will bankrupt half France in three weeks!! If Louts XVIII. did not die during the night of Sunday, what could authorize the Mi nisters to act as they did, and to send out their orders early next morning to enjoin the piddle testimonial' of the fact, while at the same time they were suffering 111:1.I.L1INS to appear, deceiving the public by statemetes fabricated for the most sinister purposes, anal in which there was not one word of truth? Such an ofhcial proceeding is without precedent in the history of Cabinets, and without example in the profligacy of Courts. The Ministerial Papers are replete with melancholy de tails of the deep affliction of the good people of Paris at the loss of their beloved Monarch, so truly termed by them Louis le Desire. On the other hand, I send you the following Epigram, which was yesterday Landed about in the Salons and Cafes. Tous Paris est en desarroi ! Remarque la Qiiutidienne Craintlrait on pour les jours Roi ? Non ; mais on craint ec rel ;canc. You will not fail to remark in the official article in the Munitear, that the Duke and Duchess of Allgouleine have already assumed the title of M. le Dauphin and Madame la Dauphine. PARti, SEPT. 19. The front of the Palace of the Tuileries is covered with mourning. On Thursday, the deceased Monarch was ex posed in his shroud to the public, in the room in which he died. This is the custom in France, that it may pub licly be known that the King is actually dead, and that he has not been made, by sinister means, to give place to a successor. The crowd assembled to gain admittance was very great, but very few of the number were successful, as only a few, who had previously obtained tickets, could gain entrance. The upper part of the faco was all that was vi sible of the royal corps?, all the rest being enveloped in a white bandage bound closely round the head. The fea tures were, of course, not seen; the face had so fallen away, as to leave uo trace of the living Monarch. The body is at present under the process of embalming, after which it will lie in state,--such is the custom here,—fur thirty-ono days; it will he, in ef?ect, a mere wax-work figure ; the cheeks will be inflated to remove their haggard appearance, and will be painted to prevent those revolting feelings which In such a state will not always away—even from royalty. All this reads a most useful lesson o: phi losophy, if those who witness the scene were wise enough to profit by it. Death is a sad leveller, and preaches th e truths of equafity more potently with his scythe, than monarchs can rebut them with the sceptre ; he mingles, with infinite unconcern, the dust of royalty with the mould of common mortals, and teaches us. if we rilleet aright, so to act in the spirit of benevolence towards each otht r, as may fit us to appear bcfute that Being who is no rc:pecter of persons, and who will one day judge us all.

The !tourer still reinit;ns shat; all money transactions are therefore surpcnded, to the great injury of the mercantile interest. It was 1 arl that a .udden pilule might seise the monied capitalists on the in telligence of the King's death, and this measure of shutting up the &urge was, no doubt, to prevent the Stocklghltes fewm gelling oat. or tranlferriratr their st,ek ihta forceps fund..

A letter, (lewd the 4th May, was vesterdey received from the master of a British vessel at Callao, in which he says. that there had been same skirmishing between the Patrims and the Royalists, which was reported to have ended in favour of the fernier, and that Bolivar, with the tnaM holy of his army, was within one day's march of hints. Admiral Guise was at the above date oft Callao. Nl'e have received New York Papers to the era ult. hat they contain no news of any interest. They are chiefly tilled with details of La Fayette's movesnents. The in telligence of Ithrbide's having landed in Mexico, was known at New York on the gith ; but not the events that followed. Letters were receives' yesterday from the Ilavanna, dated August Leo, containing some further particulars of the arrest and execution of Iturbide. It appears that Bur bide, with a view to prolong the period essignesl for his death, and thus afford an opportunity fora rescue by his friends, hail requested to be slot at Padilla, instead of the lelace at which he was arrested. According to one of th e tters the conduct of General Garza, by whom Iturbide .vas select', was marked with the greatest treachery ; the ex-Emperor having been taught to expect the co-opera tion of this General, who owed his fortune in the province and his military promotion to hut bide. The news of turbide's fall had produced little sensation in the liavanna, but the Royalist party there pretend to have positive in formation, that if he had landed in Mexico, as the repre sentative of Ohl Spain, several of the men now in power I I would have assisted him. We do not think the censures on Garet should be admitted as worth azzything without much better evidence than the letters of dissipation d par tisans. Gam, us his lams chew, was not willing to execute I tin bide. The Moniker of Thursday contradicts the rumour which we copied front the Jnorned des Deinds of Wednes day, that Mr..laints Rothe:hi:el, at Paris, had purchased the domain of Malmaison. The other rap:Mi re peat the contradiction from authority. M. de Chawanbriatal has published a pamphlet on the death of Louis XVII I. which, to say the least of it, is in had taste. It lands the late King to the skies, but takes care also to oar the earliest and the strobgest incense to his succeseor. Speaking of Charles X. the ex-Minister says, " Your eyes rest with complacency and love on that Prince, who preserves in the maturity of age the beauty and de t rznee of youth." An allusion to Louis XVI. is more censurable, for the ex-Minister has the impiety to as sert, that at his death there was the same darkness as covered Jerusalem at the Cnwitision.". . _ . Hutu Frew au:ay.—The fishing wherries from Rush,' Skerrica, and Balbriggan, have returned from the fishery, laden gun-deep, with hearings of the finest quality. This is the ea:lie.•st return ever lnow•u—hitherto these vessels, going out on the bounty, seldom returned for several wombs later: and then roost frequently with deficient or nominal cargoes. The greaternuniber of those vessels will again return to the fishery, after di•:barging their cargoes, and thus realise donide produce. This early and prosperous result is prine!pady owing to the very outfit of the excellent vess:lE behinging to these La:hours, which outfit the bounty, so wisely granted by Parliament for the en couragement of the Irish fishery, enabled these poor but valuable ssmteiett to aceonipl ish.
