his der* against the liberties of the nation, surs rounded by a large armed -.force, which he was re strained by no compunctions from employing against his people, has been overpowered with an ease and a rapidity which almost seems miraculous. The measures for riveting the chains of the people had been all taken. From all parts of France masses of troops were pouring in on Paris, to strike terror and dismay into the people, and to leave them no alter native but obedience to the ordonnunces of destruc. tion. With a resolution which can never be enough admired, the Parisians took their decision in an in stant, opposed themselves in messes to the soldiery, braved discharges of artillery arid of musketry, pos sessed themselves of sirms anti stores, and, indifferent to all but the great cause, readily sacrificed their lives for their country. We have seen private letters which contain a number of particulars illus trative of the spirit which seems to have ac tuated all classes of the population. The we men took a most distinguished part in all the proceeding®, attacking the soldiers, and throw ing themselves among the wounded, whom they supplied - with linen and otherwise assisted. A. number of traits are mentioned, highly characteristic of the spirit of our neighbours. When they were about to carry one man, who wad desperately wounded, into a house, lie exclaimed, no, carry me rather into the crowd, that the sight of my sufferings may animate them to resistance. And, to crown the whole, during all the confusion of a week of constant fighting, in a city containing so many people in humble circumstances, suddenly thrown out of employment, there was not the slightest attack on private property. No sooner had victory crowned the efforts of the Champions of the Laws, than order was instantly restored, and the people dis played their habitual urbanity. The power of the tyrant is now at end. Reports differ as to the quarter to which he has fled. But go where he will, lie will be now shunned. A Government has been regularly organized, and the Duke of Orleans placed at the head of it, with the interim title of Lieutenant of the Kingdom. How often are we reminded of the truth of the hackneyed lines of our great Dramatist, that " there is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads en to for tune." Bad the Parisians not taken their resolu tion to resist on the first promulgation of the obnoxious Ordonnances—had they hesitated and delayed to act, waiting to see what the chapter of accidents might bring forth, the con tinually increasing assemblages of troops would have in time rendered resistance impossible, and with Paris would have fallen all the rest of France and of Europe. How many able and intelligent men must Paris contain within its bosom ! Making every allowance for the quickness of the lower orders of France—and particularly of Paris, we can only account for the astonishing success with which the popular efforts have been crowned, by supposing the people everywhere under the guidance of men of great talents and energy. The battle of Europe has been fought in Paris. It is of immense importance that the greatest and most intelligent nation of Con tinental Europe should have succeeded in ridding itself of legitimacy—that is, of the right divine to treat the people as property. The new Sovereign, owing his power to the people, will hold himself ac countable to the people, will consider himself the first Magistrate of the nation and not its master. The sti pulations between the governed and the Governor will be such as to annihilate for ages, all such pretensions as those which have made the monster who has been hurled from his throne the scourge of his people. The offensive term grata will be banished as an in sult to a civilized people. The grant (octroyer) supposes a right of property. Then we shall have one Sovereign in Europe who will have an interest in discovering anti defeating the liberticidal projects of the other Kings. All revolutions which do not set aside the reigning family must be nugatory, be cause the King will be tempted to intrigue with bia• 44toiror 1 4folfridix . for .

The Republic of the United States has no common bond of interest with any other Re public. The President of the United States has no particular sympathy with the President of Colombia. But there has, unfortunately for the repose of the nations, descended from the feudal ages, a notion of property in the people, which leads one King to view every attempt, on the part of the people, to limit the power of another ling, as an invasion of authority which lie has an interest in combating. Hence the importance of throwing an illegitimate among the legitimates. As the Bourbons have been the main stay of that accursed priestcruft which, in spite of the repugnance of the nations, so many at tempts have been made to re-estuhlish, we may con sider the great events of Paris as having given a tie . itilta blow also to superstition. The evil was not, sic hi this country, in the people themselves. The nem+ were not, like the English, under the in . Ptentoo of a gloomy fanaticism, as incurious to morals as it is irreconcileable with national religion. All li•re q uired in their case is, that the Govern :lrlirit.should not cram priestereft down their throats. With.lis it is another alfair.—.lllorning Chronicle. r: We have heard every where the expression of a ..itroisg desire, that those to whom the people look pp, should instantly take measures for calling a meeting to give them an opportunity of testifying their , admiration of the heroic efforts displayed by the . French, und more particularly by the Parisians, • in redstitig the tyranny which threatened their sub• jugation, anti at the same time displaying their gra titude to those who have fought not merely their own battles, but the battles of European civilization, by a vote of thanks, and a contribution towards the relief of the brave men who have been wouteled, and of the relations of those who have fallen. " The English in Feria, we are told, are transported At what they have seen; and a contemporary (the Glebe) observes, " that the admiration which the English in Paris profess, cannot exceed that w hich is felt by their countrymen here, or the d ee p dense entertained in London of the oblige tiring which Freedom and Constitutional Govern ment owe to France, and especially to the people of Paris." Let Engliehmen, then, show, ire a manner not to be mistaken, that these are their feelings. lira been said that the last thing of which the French satned to think, during the late struggle, was the loss of lives. Let us imitate them, by forgetting selfish interes ts for a moment, and show that we have profited by their noble ex ample. The week which has passed is one of those redeeming periods which raises our ideas of homiest nature, To have participated in such a struggle is nut to have lived in vain. Let us show, by the warmth of our sympathy with the brave Parisioni, that although fortunately circumstances have not placed us in the necessity of exposing ourselves as they have done, we are not the less sensible of what would be dn. from Us should it become necessary to kaaoSo between a Governinent id - r-tient of aIV grid a Jove"' iromele, Wheal so many persons are et n their astonishment at the measures I ° ` 44 - ttfje express .King has been induced to' t o o . r tench been ( 11 ,0 , e and are asking what could possibly have of either himself or his Ministers, it uni z y Pe i ci t at t i"s i gather uninteresting to observe the.ve 7 a ' to " ty sot leg re semblance which exists between the fall of the Si family in this Notary, und what appe a r s . t o e : r t t 4 he ' approaching ruin of the Bout bon dynasty in Freitee; fin it must be confessed that there appears no other probable termination to the storm which is now raging than the expulsion from the French throne of that family, which have been nearly as great a curse to that country as the Stuarts were tosithis. The more closely we look at the history of the two families, the more clear and evident does the simi larity become. Between Louis XVI. and Charles the First of England there will be found many points of resemblance not much less striking than that of their having both died by the band of the public executioner. To each of these unfortunate Monarchs succeeded a species of military Govern ment under the title of Protector in the one country, and of First Consul and Emperor in the of her. On the restoration of the legitimate Sove reigns in each country we find them both men of an easy and indolent disposition, addicted more to their own ease and pleasure than anxiously interested for the public welfare; end resembling each other more closely than a mere superficial observer, who might not make allowances for the difference in their re spective ages on coming to their thrones, would at lirst sight be willing to admit; while between James 11. and Charles X. the likeness daily becomes more apparent, both, according to report, being under tke influence of a Priesthood, and very strongly impressed with an idea of the uncontrollable nature of the Royal prerogative; both equally unable, or unwilling, to perceive the growth of public opinion, or to mode rate in the least their extravagant pretensions, in conformity with the moderate desires of their sub jects. With the consequences of this infatuation in the one case we are well acquainted. A few weeks, or, perhaps, days, may show us a not dissimilar re sult in the other. While upon this subject one cannot help expressing some surprise that any per sons in this country should have attempted to defend the adoption of the measures alluded to, on the ground of their being absolutely necessary to check the republican and revolutionary spirit which now exists in France. Even allowing such a spirit to exist, it must be confessed that it would be as easy to conceive that the removal of the foundation stone would preserve a house from falling, as that this violation of the Charter, and an open breach of public faith, were in any way calculated to avert a revolution. That such persons have mis taken the nature of the spirit now abroad, all who are really acquainted with the present state of Eu rope will immediately acknowledge. To use the words of a most able end well-informed writer, " that a new active spirit does exist" is not denied; " but, before we hastily condemn it or give way to our alarms, let us inquire what is the real nature of that spirit ? A desire of institutions is the leading principle, which actuates and keeps alive this spirit : but this desire of institutions contains nothing in itself hostile to the monarchical principle—nothing alarming to the interests of society. Bloodshed and confiscation are riot its means, nor republics its und,—but reforms peaceably effected, and conces sionsreeeived as a boon from the hands of the Prince. The wishes of France extend to nothing more than a share of that freedom which England has so long enjoyed. To nothing more then institutions which at once secure the people from the veraonal character of the Sovereign, and the Sovereign from the vio lence of the people ; whilst, at the same time, they provide him with subjects capable of defending his Throne—llliwning Herald. Several expresses arrived from France in the course of yesterday ; and we are happy to mate that at the date of our lust ndvicev, which are of the lit instant, Paris was in as tranquil a state us could possibly be hoped for under the present circum stances of that devoted country. There appears to have been some more severe fighting on Thursday and Friday; but on Sunday every thing was peaceable in the metropolis ; due submission was hniversally yielded, not only to the Provisional Go vernment, but to the Provisional Ministry ap pointed by them, at the bead of which is the Duke of Orleans, with the authorised title of Lieutenant. Geostral, of France,: The King and the Royal I+"r~milyy had Awl, taking with them the crown and tall ~:their jewels , and escorted by about 2 , 000 tootle. Then. destination was variously stated : argue. actounte. ropy it was Mint; others Rennes.- Lisle, earl Orleans; and private ad vice, mention oven the British shores. It is added that Marmont had retreated from the capital, anal that the regular troops, including the Girde de civps, had joined the National Guards and populace of Paris, On the other hand, however, it is asserted, that considerable reinforcements had arrived in the vicinity of the metropolis, by means of which Marmont found himself so much strength ened that it was expected he would make a s peedy attempt (vein in all probability) to reinstate the Kingly authority in the capital. In the mean time overtures of accommodation are said to have been made to the Royalist Chief by Lafitte and his coed paws, which were rejected, notwithstanding they were of the most reasonable and conciliating de scription, merely demanding the revocation of the obnoxious Ordinances. The Chamber of Deputies are to assemble collectively this day, when, in con junction with the Chamber of Peers, they are ex pected to proceed immediately to the transac tion of business of the utmost, perhaps the most fearful importance to the State. 'We have given the intelligence of the day most copiously in our preceding columns-...it may be thus summed up :—The Government of Charles X. is annihilated, and the whole power of the State is transferred, at least for the present, to the Chamber of Deputies. France, by a sudden and portentous revolution, is at once transformed into a republic, for it would be merely folly to consider the Duke of Orleans—who has assumed the title of Lieutenant. General of the kingdom, on the invitation of the omnipotent Deputies, and on whose head the French Crown, no longer the emblem of regal . . power, but of personal insignificance, is, it uppears about to be placctl—in uny other light than us kill instrument in the hands of men whose name, temper, and principles are manifestly and irrecon cilably hostile to monarchical authority. That the French people may upon this occasion escape the horrors and avoid the atrocities which they en (lured and perpetrated when they ran their last career of democratic revolution, is our fervent prayer. The springs of action by which the various par ties to this important transaction have been im pelled are not yet sufficiently disclosed, to enable us, ‘yitil any degree of justice, to apportion to any of them their proper share of condemnation or ap plause. There are so many persons in ‘vhose esti- !nation the party in the ascendant is for the moment sure to be in the right, and so many others in whose view insurrection against any established govern ment is in all circumstances a positive and exalted merit, that we cannot be surprised, at the present period, that the democratic party in France should tie the objects of warm and general commendation. Nor, indeed, is it poasible to deny to the inhabitants of Paris who have taken part in the revolution, so far as it has yet proceeded, and to their leaders, the merit of sagacity, spirit, and valour, or the virtues which, in such circumstances, are more rare, diffi cult, and valuable, of moderation and humanity. Neither Can it be concealed that in each of these estimable qualities the conduct of the defunct Government has evinced a lamentable inferiority. We do not agree with those who think that it was the duty of Charles the Tenth to sacrifice the important prerogative of choosing his own Ministers, in defiance of the letter, and in vio lation of the spirit, of the Charter. But it was unquestionably the duty of his Ministers to know, and to communicate to their Sovereign more accurately than they can have done, the real strength or weakness of his position; and knowing this, it would have been, on his part, more humane, magnanimous, and just, to abdicate the throne, whose degradation he could not preveet—to lay down the crown about to be tarnished on his head —to cast from him the sceptre which he was no longer to wield, effective and unbroken—rather than to engage in a struggle as hopeless from its com interment as it was sure to be sanguinary and de :ol4o*qt in its progress. It has been the misfor tom, perhaps the fault, of Charles X., to remain, t t lit rt sal__ . tott la . te, unacquainted TM Qi h is ' p eople, with the temper "" people, Lle is now, no doubt, convinced that the advice which led him to resist that temper and those principles was a miscalculation and a folly. Yet he enanot be conscious of crime, for it is no crime in a Monarch to be tenacious of prerogatives which are his only because they have once been. thought essential to the maintenance of legitimate authority, and are valuable to him, there fore, less on account of his personal interest than of the general interest of the community. The Pro visional Ministry of France, appointed by the Pro visional Government, consists of men perhaps us little objectionable as could reasonably be expected under the present frightful circumstances of that country.--Morning Post. To the important particulars which our two ex traordinary expresses from Paris enabled us to pub lish yesterday, we have now to add a number of highly-interesting details, ,gleaned from theMcs sager des (*hombres of Sunday, which, together with the Gazette de France, Journal du Commerce, and Courrier Francais, of the day before, reached us last night by express. We also lay before our readers, from the pen of our private correspondent, a minute and molt animated account of the pro ceedings of the last eventful week—proceedings which, besides occupying a niche to themselves in the Temple of Fame, will exercise an influence on the affairs of the world, and this incontinently, for which we doubt whether the present rulers of that world are prepared. We have the greater right to be sceptical on this last point if it be true, as as sumed by some who, by the bye, are not in the habit of judging hastily on any subject, that these rulers anticipated very different results to those which have actually taken place, whilst they gloated in advance on the accomplishment of hopes which we may now characterise as more frantic than criminal. "Hut the tables are turned on the minions of despo tism, who, instead of obtaining the complete and final triumph of their principles in the overthrow of every vestige of legal order in France, must prepare for the defence of their outworks, and think them selves fortunate if they can defend them long. The first thing that must strike every one who reads the important details we publish this day, is the signal moderation displayed by the peopleand their leaders, and from which they never swerved either in the heat of the conflict or in the flush of victory. This alone is a triumphant answer to all that has been said about the danger of conferring upon the French, or, indeed, any other people, free institutions ; and, for the future, the advocates of this insulting doctrine will be more circumspect how and when they broach it again. Next to the moderation of the people is the consummate wisdom shown by their leaders, and which promises to render this great vic tory as beneficial and durable us it is glorious. They have evidently taken for their guides the illustrious men who were the authors of our own " glorious" Revolution • and, in fact, they admit this by quoting their example repeatedly. The Journals, too, for which much of the merit of the great change which has been operated in the French character may be justly claimed, triumphantly appeal to Engli s h history, to show how much better adapted to secure all the best and loftiest interests of social man a constitutional monarchy is than a republic. A con firmation of this remark will be found in our extracts from the Messager des Chambres, where the pro priety of raising the Duke of Orleans to the throne is vindicated, as the best mode of deriving the utmost possible advantage from this great triumph. A few voices, says that Journal, were heard in favour of a republic; but it also says that they met with very little encouragement. A most farcical • exhibition was taking place about the same time outside the walls, in which the deposed Monarch was the chief actor. Finding at last that the nation was not to be put down by brutal force, he set himself, as he traversed the ranks of his baffled myrmidons, to cry out lustily, " rive la Nark r"ro this cry, as well us to a declaration that he bad abdi cated in favour of his son, who rode by his side, the Royal C;uard made no response, but observed, as the Messages der Chanibres says, " expres sive silence." An exhibition of another description took place almost immediately afterwards, on the appearance of Marshal Mitrmont, whom the Dau phin overwhelmed with reproaches, and accused of betraying them, "as he did others," thus adding his authority to that of all Fiance that Murmont had betrayed Paris to the Allies, and showing, at the statue time, how frail conventional dignity is, when exposed to the rude shock of calamity. Our extracts contain a number of instructive anecdotes to the same effect, all demonstrating the brittle tie by which the supporters of a bad cause are held to gether. Let us trust that England will neither be disgraced nor injured by holding any further com munion with the supporters of that cause. To her regard they have forfeited every claim ; but to drag her into their quarrel would be so profligate a pro reeding, that any Minister who should even advise it would deserve to lose his head. We have u great deal more to say on this most interesting topic, but must reserve our remarks for a future occasion.— Morning Herald. Of the vast events which have taken place in France in less than a week, the public will find the account in other parts of the Paper. The private letters will be found particularly interesting. Our satisfaction is complete at the present state of things, with the exception of the bloodshed by which it has been found necessary to arrive at it. When the illegal, the detestable ordinance of the King was first issued on the application of his own Ministers, we really could not conceive that so daring a measure had been hazarded without some adequate power to give it effect, and we appre hended at least a dreadful conflict : perhaps we were fearful lest the French people should not have promptitude and energy enough for the crisis. The movements to civil commotion are fearful, and we hardly knew how to advise or recommend them, if they were not spontaneously adopted by the injured party. With no foreign or extraneous incitement, however, but by the natural impulse of their own hearts, the people of Paris, and the Deputies arrived from the departments, have vindicated their rights, and those of ell mankind, stopped the inci pient tyranny, and put the base projectors of it to flight, or driven them into concealment. Nor is this all: they have taken the best and wisest mea sures that human policy could suggest at the mo ment for giving permunence and consistency to their measures—for removing all provocative' to excess , for tranquillising the public mind, and arresting the course of revolutionary movements. They have chosen a new Ministry for the State, consisting, with one or two exceptions, and those not yet ascertained, of men known indeed for their attachment to liberty, bat distinguished also by their habits of business and their steadiness of character; and they have placed ut the head of this Ministry a Prince well tried in the furnace of affliction, and untainted with those prejudices of the Royal Family of France which have proved their bane. Such a state of things, we say, is most gratifying. We fervently hope, and almost expect, that it will be followed by the final settlement of the State under a free constitution ; and it will, no doubt, be a 'motiv e with the Freed' people to he guardsil in their con duct, to know that the brave, and wise, end virtuous of all Europe are on their side now, and have viewed their proceedings up to the present moment with high approbation. Charles X. has undoubtedly for (cited all right to the Crown of France, or even to an asylum in that country, except it be as au object of contempt, in some vile monastery. But we ob. serve, that by the 13th article of the Charter, " the person of the King is inviolable : his Ministers are responsible," Mid what Ministers! Above all, thut wretched creature Polignac! We put duty, and religion, and their oaths to advise the King ac cording to law, totally out of the question: is it conceivable that they should have known so little of the temper of 'Prance, us to suppose that they could tranquilly violate the . fundament a l l aws o f t h e state and the instrument of government, without hindrance or opposition ? We would spare the malignant thing that was lately sovereign of France, provided lie giver no subsequent trouble; not because he deserves into nity, but because the law assigns inviolability to his person : and we trust that to whatever process the Ministers may be subjected, if captured, they will not be the victims of mere violence, or popular in dignation, but be heard in their defence. If they or their master escape to this country, scorn will meet them ; nor does there exist any place in civi lized society in which they can be received with the respect due to gentlemen. We have said that the conduct of the French people in their melancholy drama has been justly honoured by the admiration of every noble mind in Europe; for such prompti tude in decision, such courage in execution, such moderation in victory, are scarcely paralleled by any passage in the history of mankind. But the hostile attempt upon their liberties is rumoured to have been approved or recommended by one Govern ment: we do not believe the rumour, and trust, that without satisfactory evidence it will not be made the pretext, in any subsequent stage of the yet un concluded piece, for re-kindling war in Europe.— Times. DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS. Hauoven, JULY 19.—Nothing now engages the pub lie attention so much as the consequenees of the accession of Kiug William I. to the throne of Hanover. We hope that this change will put an end to our ministerial dispute with the Duke of Brunswick. Meantime there will probably be no change in the persons composing the Ministry, or in their Administration. The more anxious are we to see whether the wish of the Duke of Cumber land, the next heir to the Crown of Hanover, will be ful filled by the marriage of his son with the Princess Victoria, heiress to the British Throne. Should this plan succeed, the Crowns of Hanover and Great Britain remain united. We shall still have a Monarch at a distance, and probably the same spirit of an independent Ministerial Government. The great domains and an expensive Court establishment without a Monarch, though represented indeed by a Go vernor-General of the lime dynasty. The conclusion of a commercial Treaty between Hanover, Brunswick, Hem Cassel, and Oldenburg, shows it is true that our Ministry no longer desires to mite Hanover subordinate to the commercial interest of Great Britain, but depend ance on the policy of the British Crown may again place us in a situation different from that of the ether German States, if we still have the same Monarch as Great Britain. But if an independent King reigns in Hanover, the en tire removal of many abuses will certainly follow very speedily.

STocKnor,m, JULY 16.—The warm and dry weather is now very advantageous to the farmer, and we have every prospect of a finer crop of hay than we hare had for these 20 or 30 years. Enzettoust, Juxx 22.—The Russian troops, after oc cupying Erzeroum nearly a whole year, left that city on the 17th of this month. Lieutenant-General Pankratjew having delivered up the city, left it with two regiments, accompanied by the Weis of the city, with a countless multitude of people, who thanks the Russian Emperor and his army for the perfect tranquillity which the country had enjoyed during the whole time it was under the Russian Government. Out of the wane of the city were our troops bivouacked, the Turkish elders, cadies, mufties, Ike., had erected an immense tent, into which they invited our Generals and superior officers to dinner. We parted from the Turks as real friends. At the same time with our columns marched on the road to Ilossankale, *hove 1,000 Armenian and Greek families, with all their pro. perty, to settle within the frontiers of Russia. This emigration of the Christians from the Persian and Turkish provinces to Russia, is a circumstance without parallel. Former conquerors often drove by force of arms numerous colonies from their own homes into the country of the conquerors. Now Russian soldiers, by the mildness and justice of their Government, induce foreign nations to follow them, and Russia's power ful Monarch has extended and consolidated his empire in the East snore by his benefits than by the power of his arms. Sr. Prreasenliow, JULY 14.—We have just received the melancholy news of the death of his Majesty the King of England. In consequence of this melancholy event, the Imperial Court his gone into mourning for six weeks. Jour 17.—The Journals contain long accounts of the great fete of Aterhof, on the 12th of this month and the following days. The last time of the fete of Peterhof, on the 3d of August, 1825, the number of carriages that went from St. Petershurgh was near 5,000 and that of the spectators 150,000 ; but on this occasion there were 8,500 carriages, and 350,000 spectators. The whole concluded with a masquerade, for which 19,000 tickets were issued. This fele was in honour of the birth-day of her Majesty the Entrees. The troubles lit Sebastopol, of which notice has already been taken, appear to have been extre►nely serious. The measures taken by the magistrates to prevent the propaga tion of the plague caused a great riot, in which the military Governor General Stolapin and other officers were mur dered, The houses of the officers of the quarantine and the police were plundered and destroyed, and the greatest excesses com►nitted by the rioters. The troops in Sebas topol might have been able to quell the riot, but as they had no orders, and most of the chief officers were absent. they remained inactive. Tranquillity was, however, soon restored--the causes of the riot have been discovered, and several of the ringleaders arrested.

MEXICO, JUNE 2.—The trial of the conspiracy of the 25th March being concluded, no other cele brated case remains to be tried but that of the De puties, Alpuche and Cerecero, which are pending in the Supreme Court. GUATEMALA, MAY 3.—The anniversary of the occupation and sacking of the capital has been ter rible for the unfortunate inhabitants; for all that was not destroyed by civil war met its destruction since in earthquakes. These had been felt since the bcg of April in Amatella r , w hi t h er many f a milies il rad ilig retired, in order not to be present at the celebration of the anniversary of the capitulation of Guatemala on the 12th. There were as many as 35 shocks in oue day, which compelled all the inha bitants to fly with precipitation from the town.— They were so violent us to ruin the whole town, and the neighbourin g places of Pim e l a , P atapa, and the haciendas of Vilalnbus, G u ill ern P ra ij anas, El Ro sario, Lagunilla, Dolores, and others. Until then the capital had not suffered any thing in its buildings, though all the inhabitants were ter rified; but on the 27th they became so violent that all the edifices have suffered, and no one can inhabit his house. The assembly of the State has sus pended its Session for a fortnight. The shocks are incessa nt, and the Government of the State, and all the authorities, are, with most of the inhabitants, at Jurptenanga, an Indian town. Dearth of provision is felt, and robberies have been committed in the abandoned houses. The handsomest buildings are ruined; and, with the exception of the cathedral, Santo Domingo, and La Mercud, all the other churches are rendered unserviceable, especially the magnificent church of St. Francis, which was not yet finished ; that of the Itecolletas, Santa Teresa, Carman, Santa Catherine, and Cantiluria. The nuns of Santa Clara were pulled out, because their convent had suffered much, and was threatened by the ruinous steeples of San Francisco. Many pri vate houses were utterly destroyed. These misfor tunes must increase the emigration and poverty of Guatemala. The political effects of the earthquake of Caraccas are well known, and it is to be feared the same calamities will follow here. THE EXPEDITION TO EXPLORE THE RIVER NIGER. It may be recollected that Lander, who accom. ponied Capt. Clapperton in his travels in Africa, and who continued with him until his decease, was despatched by Government in the month of January last, to trace, if possible, the termination of the Niger. The following are extracts of two letters recently received by Mrs. Lander, wife of the intre pid traveller, who is accompanied by hi s b rot h er : " CAPE COAST CASTLE, FEIL 24, 1830.—We ar rived here on Thursday last, the 18th instant, after an extraordinarily fine passage, and were very kindly received by the Governor, and indeed by every other person. My former slaves, on hearing of my arrival, waited upon me and appeared to be highly gratified at seeing me again. I have engaged them to attend me on our journey to the interior of the country, and, in the event of our being visited with sickness, the slaves who are engaged to carry our luggage will carry us in our hammocks, and I have every reason to believe that they will do everything in their power to serve us, as they have been settled at Cape Coast several years, and have wives and children which they will leave here during their ab 4ence, which will be a great inducement for them to do all in their power to get back again, besides being a surety for their good conduct, as they will be afraid of being left behind. The Governor of Cape Coast Castle has received a communication from the King of Badagry, promising that he will direct every assistance to be afforded us in our en terprize, which is extremely cheering." " ACCRA, ALARM 13, IB3o.—We are now going on board the Alert, for the purpose of getting the baggage removed on board the man-of-war which is expected to sail for Badagry this afternoon, and should the weather prove propitious, we shall reach there in about two days. My next communication will be conveyed to England by the Clinker." This is the only account from the travellers yet received; the next, it is expected, will be very in teresting. THE KING. We have already produced numerous instances of that courtesy of expression and cordiality of man ner which so eminently distinguish our present So vereign, and which must so powerfully add to the affection of his subjects. The following summary, which we extract. from the Magazine of Fashions, for August, contains much that is not yet known, or has been imperfectly explained to our readers : He comes unexpectedly and unattended, as they are trooping the guard at St. James's, attired like a private gentleman, and nods graciously to the people, passes jokes with the officers, and tells the privates they " shall rise by their own merits." He comes to town on the dickey of his own chariot. He goes to Somerset-house in a pair -horse car riage, without a lancer, dragoon, or policeman to at tend him, because he says " his guards are his people;" and he stops purposely in the streets that the said people may say they have seen a King!" He employs a hair-dresser in Water-lane, Fleet street, to make his coachman's white and curled wigs; because the poor fellow, when he knew better days, lived at the West End, and was employed by the then Duke of Clarence. We have seen these wigs being made. He has all the members of his family, as one family, about him, and " harmony and affection" is his favourite toast. He neither likes moustaches nor foreign servants ; because the one disguises an Englishman's face, and the other dupes an Englishman's pocket. He observes an old sailor upon the lamp-pest near Somerset-house, who gets at to " look out for his Captain" (old blue trowsers' own words), and he sends him enough to rum it for the week. He overhauls the documents of the Navy Pay Office, to ascertain if any arrears of pay or prize money are due to the seamen; and be orders refresh ments to the poor recruits, to encourage them to become soldiers. He meets two " Ladies" (by character as well as title) in St. James's, one of whom solicits the honour to kiss his hand. " Madam," says th• gallant Monarch, " my glove for courtiers, but my cheek for Ladies : may I be permitted to touch yours ?" Lady M- " wore her blushing honours thick about her." H e asks people to dinner in the style of a friend, rather than a command, and does not require their presence if they have a " better engagement." Above all things, he impresses upon those who pay their respects to hint officially, or visit him fa miliarly, that his friends are the Queen's. He proceeds in person, and in a style becoming the splendour of the Crown, to dissolve his Parlia ment; appearing himself in the costume of a thorough-paced sailor : thus practising, in his own person, the precepts he commands, thus giving countenance to his fellow tars appearing in his presence, in the dress which they can afford to pro cure, and in which they have conquered. His Majesty, we hear, paid great attention to Sir Robert Wilson at the Levee, and after conversing with him familiarly for some time, said, in conclu sion, " Meet me to-night at Sussex's, and bring your daughters with you." A female servant of Mr. Brown, of Northampton, being in town with her mistress, was permitted to go the review on Monday last; and having ob tained liberty from one of the soldiers to pass in front of the ranks, she approached the Royal car riage without knowing it, and asked one of the ladies of honour, " Which is the Queen ?" The Queen, hearing the enquiry, immediately answered, " I am the Queen."---" 0, do show me the King then." The. king, hearing the request, instantly turned round, and said with a smile, " I am the King," evi dently enjoying her amazement and delight. The Queen permitted the woman to hold her hand, which she had seized in the hurry of the moment, for several minutes. -- - There has not emanated from Scientific Re search an article of more universally acknowledged excel lence than ROWLAND'S 141ACASSAD.
