own character ought to be pure. Was Mr. Harvey's so? Ho thought not ; for when Mr. Harvey ap pealed to the Twelve for, respecting the Renegers refusal to call him to the bar, Lord Ten terden said," We have duly weighed and conkidered the allegations against you, with your explanations and the arguments of your Counsel, and m answer to your application, the Twelve Judges are unani mously of opinion, that the Benchers, in rejecting you, have . cansulted the interest of the public and tne honour of the bar." Mr.Attvitv in answer to that repeated the challenge he had mode on a former eight.—namely, to submit the whole of that affair, and of every other affair of his life, to the judgment of any twelve gentlemen among the blues ; and he would now add, that Mr. Bennet might he their foreman. Th►e Judges refused to examine witnesses, and their decision, therefore, was not worth much. These same Judges were clever persons truly ; for when he applied to them to be restored to the rolls, they were unanimously of opinion that he was a very proper person to be re-admitted as an attorney. Now an attorney was a much mere and re sponsible person than a barrister, After a few words from Mr. CONYERS and Mr. 11,tavuv, the Sheriff adjourned the Court. . (Freen the Morning Herald.) MALIN, Auo, 17. Mtvrit...The election closed 'yesterday by the return of Lord Killeen and Sir MarctitSumerville. have already prepared you for this result, by noticing the suspicions prevalent regarding, the con. duet of Mr. Lawless. Early yesterday morning the town of Trim was crowded by the peasantry from all parts of the county, and the rumour that " the pass was aold", soon spread. amongst them. As no one appeared to contradict it the report gained ism plicit credence, and the enraged feelings of the people were soon manifested by the most bitter exclamations against their late especial favourite. About ten o'clock Mr. Shell arrived, and was met by a number of respectable freeholders, who strongly urged him to Iconic forward as a e indidate, promising at the same time that his return might be considered certain. Mr. Shell, however, peremptorily refused to interfere, under the circumstances, with the election politics of the county: He then proceeded to the house in which Mr. Lawless resided. The street before it was at the time tilled by an immense multitude, who insisted that Mr. Lawless should contest the election. On entering the room where Mr. Lawless and a few of his friends were in deliberation, Mr. Shed found them undecided as to the course they should adopt. The same offer was repeated to Mr. Sheil, but he again declined to interfere. No preparations up. peered to have been made—no agents were employed —no poll-books were in readiness—in fact, nothing was done which could indicate a determination on the p►►rt of Mr. Lawless to enter on a contest. At eleven o'clock the High Sheriff arrived, and the Court-house wits thrown open. The rush was tremendous, Lord Killeen and Sir Marcus Somer. vile were accompanied by the principal gentry of the county. Lord Clifton also aoienred on the hustings. Mr. Lawless and Mr. Sheil occupied very conspicuous - situations in the Court. The Hon. Mr; Preston proposed Sir Marcus Somer ville, and was seconded by Mr. Winter, who strongly inveighed against the intrusion of a stranger in the county, and stated that the gentry were determined to resist the attempt. Sir H. Mere dith proposed Lord Killeen, who ► as well as Sir Marcus, was obliged to pledge himself to support reform and retrenchment, and to oppose the Sub letting Act and Vestry Bill. Mr. Lawless was then proposed by Mr. Boylan, told seconded by a free holder named barnahy Ford. Mr. Lawless spoke at great length. He said that his great object had been accomplished by obliging the two other candi dates to make the pledges they had made; but he did not say whether he would persevere with a contest. Lord Clifton called upon Mr. Lawless to give a decided answer to the question whether he should enter on a .contest ? If be replied in the allirmetive, he (Lord Clifton) would most certainly enter on the lista, in order to protect the county from the intrusion of a stranger. Mr. Lawless re quested a short time for consideration. In about half an hour he arose, and declared that he would not stand. It would be impossible to describe the scene of uproar which the Court now presented— the people uttering shouts of execration against Mi% Lawless. In the midst of the turbulence, the Sheriff declared Lord Killeen and Sir Marcus Suinervide duly elected. A peasant rushed. into the street, where upwards of 20,000 persona were as. Bumbled, and loudly exclaimed that " Lawlet , s had ~ betrayed them.!' Many persons cried out that he bad received 2,000/. for resigning.—(This I believe to be untrue.)—ln order to avoid the popular fury, Mr. Lawless dew to his residence. The people, Whore indignation was unbounded, followed, and threatened to tear him limb from limb. Mr. Shell Went amongst the crowd and endeavoured to op pease them, but in vain. They burst open the door , in order to drug him out; but ts large body of police and military happily arrived at the instant, and rushed into the house, from which they compelled the people to retire. A carriage was procured, into which Mr. Lawless was conveyell,and, under escort of a troop of dragoons, he took his deperture from the ecene of his expected glory. Thus ended the mucintalked-of Meath election. ( From the Times.) COUNTY OE CAVAN..--011 Saturday the numbers wcre—for Mezwell, 592; Satidermm, Young, 158. it is reported this morning that tho latter has withdrawn from the contest ; so that Cavan will be 'represented by its old Members.

They have put in Sir 'John prydges, an English gentleman. Couloir ov IVloNsuitsta.--iThe election for the county of Monaghan has been marked by scenes of the most furious °ramp. The candidates are Mr. Weetennoron of Lord - itossmore, Mr. Sleety, son of Lord Showy, and Mr. Shirley; an English gen tleman of very large poseessions in the cowry, but who, until the last five or six years; was a stranger to Ireland. Westerns is , the favourite candidate, Red the contest lies between him and Shirley, :The tenantry of the latter have been severely beaten by the populace, and the hustings continue to be one scene of uproar. The numbers on Friday were— Blaney, 3.55; Shirley, 272 ; Westenre, 207 ; Lewis, 44. On Saturday, NVestenra had overtaken ley, in consequence, it is said,of the coalition between the latter and Blaney having been " blown up." COUNTY OE DowN.—The contest for this county is remarkehle, and will be memorable. I think, in the history of Irish elections. The two roost listen. wive landed proprietors in the county are the Mtn ii,l4l44,E DOwnehire and Londonderry.

The clergy will have it so, and they are followed bye large por tion of the Down squirarchy. Mr. Waring ap pealed to France, and was as eloquent on the des po►ism of Charles 'X. as upon that of the Duke of Wellington. His Grace, he said, must take warn ing of the awful example which a free and spirited people made of the French tyrant. The drift, in deed, of the opposition, whether proceeding from a Catholic or a Protestant county, as Down is, does not appear, generally speaking, to what may be called county politics, as hostility to Administra tion—an hostility altogether created by the taxing measures attempted in the last Sesston by Mr. Goulburn. CITY OP LONDONDERRY.—The election, as I be lieve I mentioned to you before, terminated on Saturday, and on Monday Sir 11. Fergusson was declared duly elected. Captain Hart, a son of the member for Donegal, and President of the Appren. Lice Boys of Derry, the losing candidate, has be. come suddenly popular among the Catholics by the profession of a liberal faith, and by the determina tion he has evinced of opening, if possible, the cor poration of Derry. He petitions, and sanguine ex pectations are entertained of his success. COUNTY OP KnitnY.—The slate of the poll on the first day of the election (14th instant) was as follows : Browne 112 Fitzgerald 107 Croshie B7 Bateman There are 100 objections against the votes of the Knight of Kerry and Mr. Browne. COUNTY OF 'fII3PERARY.—There are certain per sons in this county still determined to put Mr. Wyse in nomination, but I imagine it wilt end in nothing. COUNTY OP LEITRIM. —This has been one of the most violently contested' counties in the kingdom. Lord Clements and Mr. S. White, the late Mem bers, have been placed in a state of personal colli hint', in consequence, it is said, of the former hay irtg coalesced with his relative Colonel Clements, the third candidate. It was, it is said, to the exer tions of 'Mr. White's family that Colonel Clements was indebted for his seat the lust time. Harsh orris occurred between the parties, and hostile meetings were appointed, but the Magistrates inter fered. The matter, however, will not be allowed to rest here. On Saturday the numbers were, for Colonel Clements, 527 ; Mr. S. White. 412; Lord Clements, 405. - I have not received the report of the poll yesterday, but it is said Colonel Wh►te was only tine() a-head, and there were only 12 electors to be polled. COUNTY Or GALITAY.—The election is going on with great spirit, and, I am afraid, with bad temper. On Saturday the numbers were, for Lambert, 53; Duly, 38; Burke, 35. The two latter refused to make any pledges, but Lambert pledged himself against the Duke and all his works. 1 mentioned in a short paragraph yesterday, that there wise some desperate rioting in a place called Muff, in the county of Cavan, and that some lives were lust. The following extract of a letter from Carrickmacioss will acquaint you with the particu. tars :-- " Carrickmacross, Aug. 16. " On Thursday last, at the fair of Muff, a small village in the county of Cavan, a desperate riot occurred : all had gone on peaceably till a late hour, when a party of Orange men, who had assembled to hold a lodge, sallied forth, and having committed some assaults, were driven by the popu lace to their lodge•room, where they had arms and ammu nition, from thence they fired upon the people, and the result was, that two fell dead upon the spot, and several others were severely wounded. The scene which ensued was beyond all description frightful ; the houses of the Orangemen were set fire to, and the inhabitants of the town were to he seen flying in all directions. The account of the transaction was rapidly spread through the country; and it was reported on the following morning that the Orangemen were assembling from all quarters, and were actually encamped in the neighbourhood. The Catholics mustered in great force, armed with all kinds of weapons: it is said to the number of 40,000 ; the road was covered by them fur the distan►e of three miles. They were ad dressed by a Roman Catholic clergyman, and several others, who convinced them that the report was false, and pre vailed upon them to disperse, and go to their different homes." FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From Galignanes Messenger of Tuesday, Aug. I%) The Courricr Fruncaic says--" 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 excesses. They have been told that, by breaking the machi nery,—that is to say, by destroying the► manufacto ries, and obliging them to be shot up,—they would create employment for themselves, and be enabled to live in abundance. Meetings have been held at several points, but hitherto the good sense of the population has rejected perfidious suggestions, and the workmen have wisely abstained from the ex ceases to which they have been instigated. The love of order, of which they have given such admi. ruble proofs, will triumph over the efforts made to mislead them," The following letter, dated August 11, has been addressed to the President of the Chamber of Peers by the Duke de Montmorency Laval : " NioNSIEUR LE PIutsIDENT,--As a Peer of France I can no longer remain silent upon the mo tives which have induced me not to take part in the proceedings of the noble Assembly to which I be long; and I have to request that you, Sir, will do me the honour of making known my sentiments to the Chamber. Two great duties present themselves, which I feel myself called upon to fulfil. 1 must, in the first instance, hold myself bound by ties of affection, and by recollections of my ancestors, to the most painful of all adversities. H a ving been the representative of France, as Ambassador, for 16 years, at the greatest Courts of Europe, I have just come from kissing for the last time the hand 9f the P r inc e who, as well as his august brother, had in vested me with that high character. As long as my heart shall beat in my bosom, I shall take pride and glory in respecting and loving, - with all my affectiou ,and gratitude, the three generations of kings HOW so painfully toiling on the road to exile. A no less sacred duty towards my country also lays claim to my devotedness, and, with the Noble Duke who yesterday expressed himself in accents of truth so penetrating, that your minds were at once moved and convinced, I will declare that the principles of the Charter of Louis XVIII., of glorious ms• mory, have sunk so deep into my heart, that they must remain fixed for ever there, without reservation or restriction. Detained out of France by my diplomatic functions, never have 1, by a single word or a single line, belied the sincerity of this my pro fession of political faith. The wonderful prosperity of that fine nation, which but for a few days back, I was charged to retain in relations of amity with our own, owes its brilliancy and splendour entirely to the admirable concord that subsists between the prerogatives of the throne and the rights of the people; and this grand spectacle certainly has not weakened my convictions. Nevertheless, though I adhere to the principles which were yesterday pro teased by my noble friends, my conduct will not be. conformable to theirs. I cannot resolve to delibe rate with my colleagues, nor with myself, upon a new oath, which must alarm my long-tried fidelity, and more particularly so while the filtering steps of Charles X. and his fugitive family still press the soil of France. It is notthe spirit of opposition, hot the, principle of honourr--of honour peculiarly French,----it is the consequence of my name, the result of my whole life; it is not an impotent resist ance to a system which appears at present to be the sole resource for France, in the wreck with which her nyinarchy is threateneth and is, in fact, but a sentiment of veoenitiott for misfortunes, and of love fora royal race, that I have believed it to be my duty to serve till m y power of d o ing so w as totally exhausted. I shall call upon time and solitude to enlighten me with their counsel.—Accept, &c. " MONTMORENCY LAVAL." (From the Messager des Chambres of Tuesday.) It is stated with certainty that the King received to-day an autograph letter from his Majesty William IV., containing the most positive expressions of good understanding with France and the King of the French. A most tragic event nearly took place this morn ing in the place Vendome. M. de Plazanet, Colonel of the Sapeurs Pompiers of the city of Paris, was nearly killed as he was reviewing his corps. There was a report current that during the late events he had given orders to fire upon the people; he only owed his safety to the brave Colonel Fabvier, his old comrade, who answered for his patriotism. The sentiments of Colonel Plazanet have been personally known to us for a long time, and we can not believe that he who first proposed to offer a banquet to his young comrades of the Ecole Poly technique, who, during the conspiracy of 1820, offered guns to those who would then strike for liberty, could think of opposing it in 1830. It appears that M. Mole is devoting his powerful talents to the subject of the new embassies. It is said that only two of our diplomatists will escape in this necessary purgation. Rumour still mentions the Count de Flahaut, Lieutenant-General and Aide•de-Camp of Napoleon, for London. He was employed with success by him in many impottant missions, and has obtained much influence in Eng land by his marriage. The Baron Fain and M. Oudart are named the' head of the private cabinet to his Majesty. The Gazette d'Etat of Prussia gives extracts from the Debuts, Messager, Quolidienne, and the Gazelle. It translates the word Lieutenant-Gene ral by Stott/toiler (Govetjior); it makes, however, no comment. The Prussian Government appears to contemplate our revolution, if not with sympathy, at least without the least hostile intention. The order transmitted to the authorities of Cologne, to refuse an asylum to the French refugees, sufficiently proves that Prussia does not contemplate any inter ference in our internal affairs. It seems that the Prussian press might express its opinion on this head; but it is apparently from a fear of accustom ing the country to discussions that the Gazette d'Etat abstains from touching on a subject on which it coincides with the Government. The subscription opened at Geneva,at M. J. Bar bezat and Co.'s, in favour of the widows and child ren of the French citizens who have died for their cowry, amounts to 679 francs 80 cents. It only commenced on Friday last, and will continue through this week and next. The French resident at Geneva, who desired to participate in the pa. triotic work, are requested to call on Messrs. Bar bent and Co. Several citizens of Geneva have subscribed. One of the first thoughts of the King was of the wants of the working class and of the great works that could be inunediately un dertaken. During yesterday his Majesty accom panied by M. Fontaine, visited the Louvre, and was for a long time engaged in considering plans and means for completing this grand monument. We are informed that the former idea of M. Fontaine, to compensate for the irregularities of the L ouvre b y a circular gallery en the Place du Carrousel, will be adopted and applied to the works that will be imme diately taken in hand, as well as those appertaining to the arrangement and completion of all the details. Many important determinations, and of a nature calculated to calm disquietude as to the wants of the working classes, have been, we are assured, decided an by the city and Government. All public works will be instantly resumed. Credit of many millions has been opened in the city. This sum will be employed to commence new works, which, added to those already undertaken, will give employment to many idle hands. A special commission has been made, which is to consult with the principal manufacturers as to the best means or giving immediate employ to the work ing classes at this moment in want of it. A bill relative to workmen Is this day to be pre sented to the Chamber of Deputies. To strengthen the means offered by the National Guards, and the faithful troops of the Line, for the preservation of tranquillity and good order, it is pro posed to form a new corps of citizens charged more especially with the guard and interior police of the city of Paris, who will receive pay. We learn that two officers of gendarmes and a seminariste in disguise have been apprehended at the moment they were haranguing the crowd. (From 4 private letter.) LISBON, JULY al.—The French Government greatly desired the success of the negociation of a loan for Don Miguel, for the agents of the two banking-houses which have taken this loan showed to some persons a letter from M. Luborie, styling himself secretary to M..de Pcilignac, announcing to them that " that Minister felt great interest in this transaction; that the lenders might be sure that his Most Christian Majesty would send M. Marcellus to Lisbon in October next us Minister Plenipotentiary to Don Miguel; that M. de Polignac very little minded whist might be said of the acknowledgment of Don Miguel:by France; that he (Polignac) would henceforth manage alone in his Cabinet all the diplo• matie affairs; that he would recall M. de Reyneval from Vienna to give him the correspondence, espe cially that relative tb the affairs of Portugal; and lastly, that the journals would no longer be able to throw obstacles in the way of the direction which: M. de Polignac thought to give to affairs both at home and abroad, because the Minister was resolved to muzzle all the papers which differed in opinion from him." This paper, whether genuine or forged, did not produce the expected effect. The monied men of Lisbon kept their coffers shut, and commissioners who were sent to Cadiz to dispose of some shares have come back without a piastre, so that the houses that have contracted for the loan have not paid a cruzado into the coffers of Dun Miguel, and the civil and military officers, whose pay is a year in ar. rear, cannot discount their bons even at a loss of 60 per cent. DUTCH PAPERS. TUE HAGUE, AUG. 15.—The banns of marriage between his Royal Highness Prince Frederick Henry Albert of Prussia, and her Royal Highness Princess Vt+ilbelmina'Frederica Louisa Marianne of the Ne therlands, were published here t o -d ay i n the usual form. A dispensation has been granted respecting the second publication, and the marriage is to be celebrated in the Palace of this town on the 14th of September. The reports of the harvest in Best and West Flanders are very favourable. M. Mau in, late Prefect o f Police at Paris, has arrived at Brussels, with his whole family. M. de Potter and his companions, Who were on the .sth at Meyence, were to go to Strasburg, and thence to Paris, where M. de Stepan has obtained permission for them to reside. They complain of the strictness with which they were watched while in the Prussian territory. Prince Albert of Prussia left Ostend on the 7th, from London. By order of Government, directions have been given to the heads of Departments of the Zeyderzee, the Meese, and the Schelde, and also to the Go vernors of those provinces in which there are ports and harbours, to admit French vessels, both mer chantmen and men-of-war, bearing the tri-coloured flag, and not to hinder those which are already here from hoisting that flag. Accounts from the Lower Rhine say that it had been reported that the Mayor of Strasburg, ot t the breaking out of the troubles, intended to put one of the most important posts into the possession of Baden troops; but that this plan being discovered and de tested, the commanding General had taken mea sures to arm the fortress ; that on the part of the French no steps had been taken (besides the assem bling of some artillery near Fohrbach, near Mayence) but to secure some of tha.principal fortresses from a surpr6e. On the other hand, as soon as the first accounts of the French Revolution were received, mention was made of the reinforcing of the garrisons of the Confederatlon as a measure of precaution ; but we do not hear whether the necessary orders for this purpose have been issued. On the part of the Netherlands nothing seems to have been doni but to refuse furloughs, which can the less excite surprise, as it is known that the army of that country in time of peace is barely sufficient to occupy the most ne cessary posts. A letter from Berlin says, " It is reported that the camp which was to be formed this autumn is countermanded, partly not to give France the slightest cause for suspicion, and partly not to leave the fortresses without the proper garrisons. The late events have caused great fluctuations in our ex change which have led to inconveniences." _ AIiSTRRDAM, Auo. 17.—Exchange on London, 12 17 5.10; Two months, 12 12 s .lo.—Dutch Papers, August 18. _ _ _ PETERSBURGH, AUG. 4.—From the 26th to 30th July, the Guards executed grand manoeuvres in the presence of their Imperial Majesties, of the Grand Dukes Alexander and Michael, the Prince !Loyal of Sweden, and Prince Charles of Prussia.

BERLIN, AUG. 14.—The Prussian State Gaulle continues to be chiefly filled with English and French news—the latter, to the 7th August, unaccompanied with any remarks. PARIS, AUGUST 16. (From the Morning Hera.ld.) The discontent of the Parisian operatives, to which in my two last letters 1 referred, increased yesterday, and was manifested in the course of the afternoon in more than one quarter. A numerous assemblage of people took place at Montmartre, which appearing, as it really was, formidable, several influential persons, National Guards, and others, went among them for the purpose of allaying the irrita tion that was beginning to attain a serious height. In reply to the inquiries of those persons, the ouvriers re plied that their grievances consisted in a scarcity of cm. ployment, owing to the extensive application of machinery in various branches of business, and to the preference given to foreign workmen. A deputation of the persons who had remonstrated with these people was accordingly ap pointed to present a memorial to the King, setting forth those grounds of complaint. The meeting then terminated, an d th e people Ili 4 per:ed for the time. A large body, who had assembled elsewhere, traversed the Boulevards, and another the Pont Neuf. Late in the evening a prneession of 3,000 butchers (who, without having themselves directly auffered from the alleged causes of the distress of the other ouvriere, entered into their feelings) passed through various parts of the city, and to the Palair Royal, singing occasionally the Marselloise Hymn, which was renewed and kept up to a late hour by successive parties. When 1 left the Court of the Paleis at half-past ten o'clock, it was yet crowded—and, under the windows of the King's apartments, a fresh body of vocalists had taken up their position and had commenced. Aliens! enfans de la patrio I understand it was only at a much later hour that the Court was cleared. Several times during the night I was awakened by similar parties of patriotic musicians. 1 repeat my ohservation of yesterday, that these popular assemblages—these patriotic serenades, have in their na ture (to a foreigner) something calculated to create alarm. Still 1 am bound to state of those brave fellows (for they formed the majority of the men who effected the revolt,- tion), that a single word nr panne of their's, offensive in its nature, or capable of exciting fear in the most timid, never escaped an individual among th e many th ousan d s o f whom the assemblages were composed ; and that, so far from having rendered the people sensitive, brutal, or fero cious, the sanguinary conflicts in which they have been engaged have absolutely softened their manners. In the course of some years' residence among the Parisians, I ne ver witnessed as much politeness, kindness, good-nature, and good feeling, us since the immortal triumph of their arms. What a people The assemblages of the ouvriers have, I know, engaged the attention of Government during the last three days, notwithstanding that the most remote indication of their 'Waving recourse to acts of outrage WO not perceptible in their proceedings. Still, as the Government is aware that there exists among the partisans of the late dynasty a hope that the people may be moved to acts of insubordination, of which advantage might be taken by the disaffected ; and as, in a state of excitement, the people would he sus ceptible of being rendered the dupes of those factious and designing parties, it was yesterday resolved on in Council that the King should address a Proclamation to hie subs jects, declaratory of the determination of Government to enforce good order. This Proclamation will, I trust, have the desired effect, for it is supported by the whole Press of Paris—the engine which crushed despotism, and which is capable of rendering other and not less important services to the country. You will probably receive exaggerated reports of the effervescence observable among the workmen ; but they should be read with caution. The Government is wise, moderate, and firm, and enjoys the confidence of the people —circumstances which warrant my conviction that no disturbance will occur here. P.S.—Three o'clock.—The work-people have again mumbled to slay. A large party bass pawc4 through the Place Vendome. It wee found necessary yesterday even. Mg to disarm a post occupied by the people at La Cour tides, near Montmartre. In addition to the above we have seen a private letter from Paris, dated Monday last, which speaks in terms of alum of the popular movement,' referred to by our own Correspondent, and mention►► a circumstance which, if true, would furnish some ground for apprehen sion—namely, that on Sunday night a body of men had repaired to a barrack occupied by a detachment of the bOth Regiment of the Line, and demanded their arms, which the soldiers firmly refused to surrender; upon which the people retired. PARIS, AUG. 17. Immediately after dosing toy latter yesterday evening, I proceeded to the Faubourg St. Antoine, the quarter from whence most danger was to be dreaded, and found it quiet as on Mondays in ordinary times. Some assemblages of workmen bad taken place in the forenoon, and some fer ment would have ensued but for the prompt interference of the authorities, and the firm attitude of the National Guards, whose posts, as well as thou of the troops of the line, had been reinforced. The first intention ,of the people was to attack a coach-factory, in which machinery was used, but from this they were dissuaded; other partial demonstrations were made by theta in the course of the day ; the-assurance that their sufferings (for there are vast numbers of men out of employment In Paris at preterit) would be taken into immediate consideration by Govern meat, with a view to afford them relief, had, however, the desired effect upon the mass : still there were in va rious places to be round small groups of malcontents, who had evidently had their feelings worked upon by disaffected *del. Government has put at the disposal of the Mu nicipality of Paris six millions of francs (240,0001.), to h e applied to the relief of the suffering and unemployed ouvriera, of whom, as rioters, I hope and believe you will heir no more. In addition to this wise and considerate measure of the Government, others, not less proper, were resorted to, in order to bring the people to a sense of their duty. I have already said that all the military poste of Paris were rein. f orc ed ; but I cannot furnish you with an adequate idea of t h e determination to enforce public order* so clearly can. ve y e d by the reidinetrs with which the National Guards turned out, and their resolute demeanour when in presence o f the misled people. The National Guards are nut all, it is true, armed or equipped; but every moment these wants will become less ; . and when they shall have been supplied, , and which will be in six or seven days more, Parts will contain (at the lowest estimate) 70,000 armed their property, a n d th e l aws , aga i nst ene usieeisr o i t i ee ne, able and ivilling to defend th e i r c i ty , t h e i r h omes, th o f4 f ri L l yteacription that m a y p resent t h emselves. Not content with my first Paroles I proceeded l a ter i n t h e e vening of yesterday (from eight to nine o'clock) in t h e same direction. I found the Boulevards des Italiens, perfectly quiet. At the ' ere visible, but no WI. i lV ) t te ntnsultr.ten, en an i d o a BofeniueloNitoeruevres w ile cation of excitement was perceptible among them. At the )some St. Martin it wee different.

I pretend not to übiquity nor omniscience, but I will venture to say there a,•e few persons who see more of Paris or its citizens, of all classes and in all situations in the course of each day, than myself. 1 feel, therefore, en titled, in some sort, to give an opinion respecting them, and that opinion is, that not only are 999 out of every 1,000 inhabitants of Paris favourable to the new order of things, but that there exists not the most remote cause for apprehension for its permanency. I further believe that what I have said of Paris is applicable to all France. Having thaw, to the best of my judgment, disposed of the main question, 1 skall proceed to refer to minor points. I have alluded to the danger which a person would run who should be held out to the people as their enemy at the present moment. The Swiss are, as is quite natural, pe culiarly obnoxious to the Parisians at present. An Irish Officer, who closely resembles them in their general cast of countenance and complexion, was, a few nights since, on the point of being grievously maltreated as " a Swiss." He was saved by loud shouts 'of laughter, which (being unaware of his danger) burst from him at the mistake. It is only when extraordinarily excited, however, that the Parisian is thus formidable. He is in the main one of the most charitable and good-natured of the human species, and of this a thousand instances might be adduced, even during the late conflicts in his city : one you will permit me to give you. 1 have mentioned more than once the death of the Gam• mending Officer of the Ist Regiment of Cuirassiers of the Guard, on (I think) Wednesday, the 28th July. His rank was Chef d'Eacadron (M ►jor), his name La Briffe. His body was not identified among the slain, but his fall was perceived by his comrades. His family went into mown ing for him —notwithstanding 'which he reappeared to them, safe an I sound, at the end of a week from the date of his supposed death. His escape from death was extraordinary. His horse was killed and fell under him on the . -,Place de Greve.— Feigning death himself, he lay midway between the con tending parties—the fire of both passing over him for nearly an hour. The people being compelled to retire for an instant, he extricated himself, and had risen on his feet when they returned to the attack. He immediately lan from the field of action, and reaching a house in the neigh bourhood (unperceived, as he imagined,) proceeded to the fifth story, and burst open the first door that presented itself. It was a granary. He hal hardly entered ere he heard the voices of men in pursuit of him, inquiring fur an officer of Cuirassiers or Gendarmes, who had been seen to enter the house. Escape by the roof was impossible. In un instant he divested himself of his calque, cuirass, coat, and arms, and proceeded down stairs. He was met, of course, by his enemies, who declared they waned put him to death. Recollect who they were—who he was, and the scenes of carnage then passing around them. " You mistake," said he, " I am not an officer ; I am only a Brigadier, and not, therefore, accountable for that whirl' I did. I only obeyed the orders of my Chief" Will it be credited that this speciits of reasoning had its desired effect ? The brave fellows said atonce, " March, YOU ARE FREE r' Taking them at their word, M. La Briffe rushed from the howe ; but, fearing that he would not be able to con ciliate similarly others of the people, he entered a wine.. shop in the neighbourhood, and threw himself for protec tion on its owner. The risk was imminent, but the good wine-merchant was not to be deterred by it from exercising hospitality, good-nature, and humanity. In a moment be equipped his guest us a drawer, in which capacity, during the day, the Chet d'Escadron of the Ist Regiment of Cuirassiers of the Guard ministered to the wants of hun dreds of the citizen combatants ; continued for five suc ceeding days to exerei•e his new calling, when, all danger having disappeared, he returned to his family and friends. To illustrate the noble character of the Parisians, an ad ditional word is, I am sure, unnecessary. The King of Prussia is said to hive declared his readi• nese to recognize the new Government of France. Runk may be said to have already done it, by the intervi w of Prince Pozzo di Borgo with the Minister for Foreign AC fairs. Your King is reported to have written an auto. graph letter of compliment to King Louis Philippe. This last report is not probable, but I trust that no coquetry will protract, no time be lost, in the recognition of the existing Government of France by that of Great Brit lin. Two o'clock, p.m. I have just seen the gurcons boulangers (journeymen bakers) on their return from presenting their compliments and duty to the King at the Patina Royal. They are gone to the Hotel de Ville, to pay their respects to General La fayette. They amounted to about 800, and were, I need heftily say, preceded by a tri-coloured standard. The walls are everywhere placarded with invitations t o the unemployed of every class to present themselves at th e places indicated, when they will receive employment, o r pecuniary assistance. This takes away all pretext for as sembling. The good sense of the people will do the rest. Bourse, Half-past Four. You will observe that my anticipations have been realised. The Funds have risen, and unless some jiireign cause prevent it, will rise much more. (Friuli the Morning Chronicle.) One word about the banquet which has been given by the city of Paris to General Lafayette must close this letter. The banquet was given au Sunday lest, at the Hotel de Ville, which I suppose you would translate the Mansion-house. There were Peers and Deputies, King's Ministers and Judges, Pupils and Masters, Professors and Barristers. There were present nearly all the great men of France, who love liberty far dearer than life, and who would prefer a prison and a scaffold to submission to a despotic Government. But in the midst of all these, there was one man who was pre-eminent. Ile had com menced the first Revolution, and had assisted in achieving the last. When murder and treason hail stalked abroad, and when violence had been substituted for law, Lafayette had disclaimed any alliance with such a revolution, and had left the shores of his native land. He had protected Royalty from insult, and would have protected it again. He was no regicide. The liberty he loved was not the painted harlot, but the coy maiden, and with his name was associated all that was virtuous and great in the first French Revolution. When fate—sad fate—stern fate.compelled him to quit the country he so dearly loved, he assisted in the re generation of the United States—formed the first Republic —proclaimed the sovereignty of the people and tile rights of man ; and aft erwar d s re t urn e d to France to enjoy the blessings of a limited Monarchy and representative insti tutions. Again, and yet again, had he exhorted the fated Bourbons to adhere to the Cliarterto govern with the taws.—to put their confidence in the people—to march with the age in which they lived, and to open their eyes to all that was passing around them. But his counsels were distrusted, his opinion despised, his advice rejected, and Lafayette lives to witness all hie predictions accom plished, and himself the General in Chief of the National Guard. When his health was proposed, 350 guests re ceived it with acclamations, which were indeed long ere they subsided. The old man then rose. He was quite overcome. The past, the present, and the future, were all before him. He nobly yielded his republicanism, and supported a Constitutional Monarchy. 'lie exhorted Frenchmen to unity, and prayed them not to endanger that which they bad gained, by seeking after imaginary good, or distant benefit,. Honour to such men ! History will do them justice. , O. P. Q. EFFECT Or TERROR UPON THE IMACI NATiox.—The Iste Dr. GOOCW, in early life, served an apprenticeship at Yarmouth, and had to sleep at the top of his master's house, in a room in which there was a skeleton. " One night," says be, " I went to bed ; the moonlight, which fell bright into my room, showed me distinctly the panelled door behind which hung my silent acquaintance ; I could not help thinking of him. I tried to think of something else, but in vai n . I s h ut my eyes, and began to f orge t myself, when, whether 1 was awake or asleep, or between both, I cannot tell—but suddenly I felt two bony hands grasp my ancles, and pull me down the bed ; if it had been real, it could not have been more distinct."
