Amidst a heap of killed the previous day, soldiers and citizens, a woman came to look for the body of her husband—havin g; at last recognized it, she embraced the corpse, but without a tear in her eye, silently looking towards Heaven and in yoking vengeance :—" Are you sure that is your husband," (noire more) said one of the two citizens who was mount ing guard over the bodies, and assisted her to place it on a board to carry away, " Quite sure," said the woman—" Eh, hien," replied be very emphatically- 4 i C'est no F ranca i s , r , As I am not an amateur of horrors, I did not look into the Morgue ; I afterwards heard that there was at one t i me 184 in it, who were at length placed between two , -l ayers of quick lime, and the hodies piled up in a boat, a' tol taken down the river to be interred.

You ask tees if any of our countrymen took en active share its the late Revolution ; I should suppose scarcely any,--the Mr. gnight (of Mouriee'B) has already denied the account* of him given by the papers, and the young man killed at Lawson'e Hotel was merely looking out at the window at the time. As a stranger in a country, end under the protection of the Ciovernment (whatever that might be) it would have been certainly imprudent to have sided against it. lied this troops, after being driven out of Paris, attempted to re-enter it, that would have altered the ease, as it is probable that in revenge for the treatment they had received, they would lows indiscriminately mur dered and plundered its inhabitants; every ;Ban was con sequently called upon in defence of his own person and property to take up arras; but no number of men could have re-takea t h e town once the leirricades were formed across the streets, • I understand from - that the Circle anti Pret e:2We are again open ; whether they will continue so it is difficult to say.

EDINfIIURGII REVIEW, No. Cll.—.Enninuitall, 1830. There is little of what may be called elegant information in this number, which is almost wholly of auf ieful practical character. Still less is there anyt"►►ing showy or attractive in the style. We do IP .4 recognise the vigorous and elegant pen of IV lacauley, unless it he in the analysis of " Nieb► Ar's Rotnan History," and we here trace it rad' ,er in the choice of subject than from any internal evidence that the style puts forth ; the gran eful metaphysical acumen of Jeffrey, or the rob ust and comprehensive politics of Brougham ; lani articles seem for the most part to be the pro ductions of intelligent practical men of the world, neither above nor below par in point of mind. The number, in short, contains no one article to be remembered beyond its day. The firs'. is a sensible and satisfactory refutation of l 'Ar. Sadler's new-fangled theory on the law of population. The Reviewer treats this showy orator with but little deference, and refutes him by means of his own propositions. The reader will be much amusedbythe cursoryallusions to the fe• cundity of Peers in this article,which might have been turned to excellent account, had the Reviewer possessed any powers of humour and sarcasm. " Monk's Life of Bentley" is entertaining rather from the nature of its subject, than from any superior sagacity or range of information that the article displays. The Dean of Peterborough is treated but with little ceremony, but, as it seems to us, with quite as much as be deserves. Dr. Monk, at the very best, is but a so-so scholar, and as a writer of English belongs to the Malaprop school. We never heard that he was distinguished at Cambridge, for aught be yond what may be termed respectable scholastic acquirements. He succeeded Porson as Greek Professor, and very speedily and abundantly proved that the mantle of the departed Elijah had not descended upon him. However, he makes a good Dean, though an indifferent scholar ; a capital high churchman, though a common-place divine. " Niebuhr'a History of Rome" is treated in a spirit of justice and discrimination. It is a well-written article, and puts forth evi dence of information without pomp or parade. 0 Jefferson's Memoirs and Correspondence" is an able article, just, temperate, and conciliatory. The character of the great American States man, the Coryphums of the republican party in Congress, is well summed up " Jefferson's understanding and character were of a plain, bold, and practical cast—full of activity and strength. But neither in his politics, science, or literature, do we see any sign of genius or depth. His speculations are chiefly interesting from our curiosity to learn the opinions of so celebrated a person. There is scarcely a tincture visible front first to last, among all his multifarious disquisitions, of real philosophical sagacity, inventive observation, or refinement of taste. Independent and incorruptible him self, be was proud of the virtue of the party with which he acted, And confident in his belief that the popular will, whilst unvitiated by the perverse laws and corrupt habits of communities where commerce and distinction of orders had prevailed, might be trusted as the sole principle of Government. This personal uprightness, and this con fiding reliance - in the trustworthiness of human nature, under such circumstances, at least, as the population of the United states is placed in, are in singular contrast with the boundless suspicions he is always brooding over in the case of his federal opponents, and the sweeping &minds tione which be promulgates against the privileged classes of Europe, " We have seen that he was constantly pining after what he felt to be his true vocation. The interest which attends the literary pursuits and opinions of men eminent in the prsctieal part of life, has led us to look attentively for the traces of them scattered up and down these . voluntes, They show hirn to have been to plainly destined for an enterprising scholar, rather than a master, that we cannot count him as one of the s►actritipes which, in free countries, . , . the ki pien are always offering up at the altar of patriotism or ambiOnt. The Notes on Virginia (his only professed work) were originally written as answers to some !ies. tirms pot to him by a foreigner, A Wench translation of some private oopies having appeared, their publication in 1787 became scarcely a MatAtir of choice. They c o ntain a great deal of useful knowledge, told very agreeably. But The mot striking thing about them is the evidence which they give of romp IS! , cret force of character behind, by pro clueing an effect out of all proportion either with the real lroportance of the subject, or any apparent superiority in the authr, There is a weightiness, certainly, always in good sense, wbeiq it, 4 at we earnest and unpretending. Hut sincerity arid mural courage are imposing auxiliaries; and these great characteristics of hie mind were not more strongly exhibited in after life than in the directness with Which ha here tells the Virginians what he thinks the truth, on such irritialla questions as slavery arid their own defective constitution, liovefte pnpelatable the troths might I*." " Origin and Affinities of Language" is 4 curious and root an unamusing article to those who are fond of such inquiries, " The Ministry and the State of Parties," is an attempt to per. suade. men of all parties that it is their duty to , 004h!hee in order to eject the present Ministry from office, The Old Tories and the Whigs are particularly appealed to. In the course of this article, we cannot help thiphing that Mr, Peel is treated with less fairness and coneldera. tion than he deserves. In point of sagacity we do not feel inclined to ruts this orliely very highly. It is hasty, and drawn up without sufficient con sideration, There is, besides, an inconsistency about it, which proves that the writer, whoever he may be, has only half digested his political theories. f‘ Sotheby's Specimens of s New Version of Homer" is a slight but agreeable article, containing one or two shrewd remarks and some little eloquence. Pope's translstion is properly desk with : the best way to trans late Homer, certainly the most characteristic — as it seems to us—would he to translate him after the style and manner of Sir Walter Scott's « Marmion," adopting the Va rious and spirited veisification of that poem. Nothing can be more like ona of Homer's battles then the famous Floaden Field encounteo in the last canto of f‘ Marmion"—tmless, in- deed, it be the still more magnificont battle of Loudon-bill, who►rte Burley meets with and slays Bothwell, i►► "Old Mortality," We should like to see a translation of the fine old (keel; poet, attempted in the frets, flowing, rapid style of " Marts►ion :" we think it would be a successful novelty. On the whole, the number is a good one. G H EECE.—The public, will be glad to bear that the Hey. T.

" CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES—Smmo or At m. 19. " M. de larommeraye, one of the Commissioners ap pointed to superintend the embarkation of4be late King, having returned, took his seat. " M. le Pelletier d'Aulnay demanded prieedence for the report upon the project of the law relative to the publica tion of the electoral lists and the jury. " The Committee only proposed one change—namely, the addition of an article, in the following terms : --I In virtue of the Constitutional Charter, the age fixed for ad mitt/don to the functions of a juror is 25 years.' " The President said the Chamber ordered the printing and publication of the report just read, and wished to know for what day the discussion should be fixed. " M. Salverte wished the discussion to be adjourned to the day when the project of law respecting re-elections to be made in consequence of vacancies was to be debated. " M. le Pelletier d'Aulnay opposed the adjournment of the discussion on the electoral lists. " The question was put on the adjournment, and lost, four members on the left voting in its favour;" and Sa turday was fixed for the debate. " Several voices— , And the petitions?' "M. Peton—The Committee only met to-day. No report can be ready till next week. " M. le Baron Louis, Minister of Finance, then rose, Pic said it was usual to describe the state of the finances of the last year, the votes necessary for the current year, and to explain the budget for the succeeding year. The circumstances in which the Ministers were placed pre vented them following the usual practice, but they would frankly explain the state of the year 1828. The antici pated receipts had fallen below the actual receipts. The registration and stamps had surpassed expectation; but the sum derived from the tax on liquors was below what was anticipated. The total of actual receipts was one milliard 32 millions, while the expenditure had only amounted to one milliard 24 millions ; so that there was a surplus of eight millions to be carried to the service of the year 1629. In 1829 the receipts amounted to about one milliard and 30 millions, and the expenditure to one milliard and 16 millions. He then stated that public confidence having called the present Ministers to the head of affairs, they considered it their duty to destroy as little as possible, and therefore intended to preserve the present mechanism, but nevertheless to apply to it all possible modifications. He could 'nave wished to have been able to open the budget for 1631, but he thought it ought to be presented on an entirely new plan, and due time had been wanted for the consideration of the subject. Besides, the offices of Minister of War and Minister of the Interior needed new organization, and until it was effected the ex pellees of those departments could not be known. Economy was promised ; and he assured the Chamber that Ministers would lose no time. They knew their duty, and would discharge it. " The President ordered the report to be printed and published. " M. Jars presented a report from the sixth bureau, relative to the election of M. de Murat, against whose ad mission a protest bad been presented, declaring that the secret of voting had been violated, and that the President of the Electoral College of Hazebrouck had refused to attend to the remonstrances which were made, or even to mention them in the proses verbal. The bureau, after hearing M. de Murat, who said he was absent, anti could not be held responsible for the acts of the President, pro posed the admission of M. de Murat.—(Strong marks of dissent on the left.) " M. de Murat explained. The election of Hazebrouck, he said was a bond fide one, and the Chamber ought not to annul it for certain little irregularities. The number of votes he had obtained, far above the majority (namely 191 above 213), ought to remove all doubt on that score.-- Besides, he owed that immense majority simply to the refusal of the Ministry up to the last hour to admit him as a candidate. lie therefore submitted himself to the wis dom anti justice of the Chamber. " M. de Brigode said that however great the majority might have been in favour of M. Murat, the election ought to be annulled on account of the violation of the secret of voting. " M. Augustin Perier spoke in favour of the election. " M. de Salverte said the only question to examine was, whether the law had been observed. That culpable influ ence bad been employed towards the electors, the following letter from the Sub-Prefect of Hazebrouck was a proof ' The King having made known his intentions relative to the candidate M. de Murat, I confidently reckon on the loyal anti legitimate use of your influence, in favour of an election for the success of which hie Majesty has deigned to express a personal wisk.'—(Violent murmurs on the left.) —Such a circular having been sent round, he would vote for the annulling of the election. " M. Benjamin Co ns t an t supporte d the annulling of the election, and observed that the presence of l 5 functionaries et the election was in no wise favourable to M. Murat, especially when all sorts of violence were employed towards electors, who were not functionaries, " The decisien of the bureau having been put to the vote, the centre rose in its favour, the left against it. M. de Murat wile not admitted ; he accordingly took up his bat, and quitted the Ilall. " The President informed the Chamber that the Baron d'Eseayrac whaled to state his reasons sat taking the oath. " M. d'Escayrac rose at the extremity of the right centre ;—' Gentlemen,' he said, ' under present circum sianncs, and according to the well-understood interests of the ceuntry, I Relieve I ought to adopt the line of duty traced out to me by my colleagues. I completely adhere to the sentiments expressed by de Martignac.' " Oil the Left—' That is not taking the oath.' " The President—Do you mean to take the oath with. out any reservation to the charter of the unuith of August and to wing Philip J. " M. d'Eseayrao—l mean to make no reservation, ex cept that I adhere to the sentiments of M. de Martiguact (Murmurs on the left.)—Without restriction or reserva tion I swear the ! that is right.) • "M. Marche], reporter to the Committee charged to examine the proposition relative to the oath, mounted the tribune. lie stated that the Committee had met again, anti had come to a resolution that military officers ought to take the same oath as other functionaries, and should not be compelled to take a different one. The oath, the law project of whieh lied been proposed and presented to this Chamber, embraced all that could be desired. It was sufficient for the wants of the service, and fils the national guarantees. He did not consider that tiny of the (lathe formerly sworn by the military were suitable to the pre sent circumstances. In preserving, therefore, the form of the oath proposed at the last sitting, the Committee had, however, thought it right to apply the following modi fication to the rid Article t No other urticle shall be exact e d cif them but by virtue of law.! The Committee considered beside~ that there might be some uncertainty with respect to the functionaries who had already taken the oath, and added to the end of Article ' Excepting those who have already taken the oath to the present Go vernment.' " Colonel PaidaUS ardently desired a new military code, which he trusted would proceed from the talents and patriotism of Mamba Gerard. At all events, he referred to the Chamber with respect to the new form of oath pee cribeil by the Committee. " General Bernier thought it would he impolitic and dangerous to introduce modifications in the principle of military obedience. lie consigned to the execration tef Frence and the nniverse, the Ministers who pl ace d F rench soldiers in the eitoution of defending therrestires against fellow-citizens, fieveral voices on the left--.' I'lley did not defend themselves, they attacked.' M. Bender—Our soldiers lament their being obliged to do such duty ; but to repair a misfortune do not corn promise the future. How is discipline to be maintained if you prescribe only an optional ebeffience ? how cart you punish those of whom you give the right of deliberation i' You will then have barrack orators, but no soldiers. He proposed that the military oath, elmuld remain una l tered except as to the words thee sing of the Fr enc h,' , " General Semele supported the recommendation of the Committee, and referred to the late events in proof of the rffiecidef of passive obedience. Th e events had been long in preparation. The Royal Girard bad been formed under the direction of the Duke of Wellington.—(Murrnum ) What I say I can prove. Officers were selected for the Guard whose opinions were hostile to the constitutional system. These officers endeavoured to give the troops the sort of spirit they wished. Nevertheless, the sentiments of the greater part of the soldiers were honouruble. He would have the oath proposed by the Committee taken for the present, and would postpone the consideration of a final 4 , M. Viennet c o n s ider e d s tri ct discipline necessaryr ain tel oath un til th e m ili tary code Should be discussed. in the army, and thought that the oath of the military ought to be different front that of other functionaries, " The discussion on the general subject having the article x came to fee consid ere d, closed, 4 , On the find article, declaring that all functionaries, civil, military, and naval, should swear the. oath of fidelity to the King of the French), obedience to the Constitus timed Charter, and to the lewd of the kingdom, " M. Missy d'Anelas proposed! an mead:nem, that tell other forms of military oath be abolished, which was not carried. " After a few words, the article was unanimously adopted. " The second article, declaring that no addition or al teration should be made in the oath, except by virtue of law, was adopted. The 3d article, declaring that all functionaries, civil and military, were to take the oath within fifteen days after the promulgation of the present law, or be considered as having resigned, was read and adopted, with the follow ing addition excepting those who have already taken the oath to the present Government.' " M. Bavoux proposed to make the oath applicable to the Chamber of Deputies ; and M. de Marcay, that it should be applicable to both Chambers. " N. Viennet observed, that a law should be passed de claring that members who did not take the oath within a given time should be held to have resigned. " M. Berryer expressed his astonishment that it should be intended to impose, with such a condition, an oath on the Peers, which, perhaps, many could not take. Invested with. a dignity transferable to their children, how could ►hey be held to have resigned for an act personal to them selves. For two centuries several Peers of England had refused to take an oath, and yet had not lost their peerage. " M. B. Constant said the Peers to whom the last speaker alluded were Catholics. Ile di I not approve the intolerance which excluded them from their seats, but the fact showed that the English law had inflicted a punishment for refusal to take an oath. In the state in which we are delivered from a Government which was far from gentle, which dyed our streets with blood, it is singular that so much regret should be expressed for those who shot at and ass►ssinated us.—(Marks of approbation from the left.) --We wish a national dynasty, and we have it ; we wish a national Government, and we have it : but we will have still more in the institutions which are proposed. "M. de Martignac opposed the proposition for making the loss of Peerage follow the refraining from taking an oath. "M. Dupin, the elder, supported the amendment. The King had taken the oath required by the nation, and why should those who had to make the laws be excused ? di M. Guizot—ln order to agree on the subject, it is necessary to divide the paragraph, and say that the Depu ties who will not take the oath shall be considered as re signed, and that the Peers shall not be allowed to sit. The necessity of the oath is acknowledged; but the Peers are in the same sisuation as the Deputies. I propose, then, this amendment. Every. member who does not take the oath shall be considered as resigned, and every Peer who will not take the oath shall be deprived of his peerage, which shall devolve to his successor._(Tumult. Several voices—" That is prejudging the question of hereditary Peerage.")—At present, the inheritance of the peerage is one of the principles of its existence. A law will shortly be presented to decide this question, and then you will adopt what amendment you think proper. " A Member proposed the addition of the following words:—.' Without prejudice to the disposition of the law to be proposed.' " M. Girod (de l'Ain) demanded the suppression of the words ' his successor,' which M. Guizot consented to. " M. de Berbis thought the Chamber ought not at pre. sent to occupy itself with so important a subject, and pro posed an adjournment. M. Madier de Monjeau.—Publie opinion must no longer be allowed to fluctuate. Recollect, that a Peer for two years refused to take the oath to the charter. That Peer has precipitated an august family from the high position in which it stood. Let us avoid the example, and compel the Peers to declare themselves immediately.—(To the vote, to the vote.) "M. Guizot proposed that three months' time be allowed the Peers within which to take the oath. A Deputy could be re-elected—it was not so with a Peer. " M. Demarcay proposed that the allowed time 15 days be increased to a months for both chambers. " The President put the different paragraphs of the amendment to the vote. The first, respecting the Depu ties, was unanimously adopted. " The period of three months proposed by M. Guizot, for the Peers, was put to the vote and rejected ; and M. Demarcay's amendment, limiting the period to one month, was adopted. " Th . e question was then put on the article as amended, which was adopted. " The Chamber then proceeded to vote on the whole of the law. Number of voters, 282. White balls, 209 black balls, 43. " The President.—The order of the day is the discus sion on the communication made yesterday by the Com mittee for the Impeachment of the late Ministers The discussion way fixed for to-morrow, in a public sitting, at one o'clock." (From the Messager des Cliambres of Friday.) " PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING, AUG. 19. " General Baudrand is intrusted with a special mission to the English Government ; Baron Athalin to the Rue elan Government; M. de St. Aulaire to the Austrian Go vernment; and General Belliard to the Prussian Govern ment. " It was affirmed at Toulon on the 7th, that the tri-co loured flag was hoisted at Genoa. " It is asserted that 22 Lieutenant-Generals, and above 100 Major-Generals, forming the cadre of 1880, and en tirely strangers to the army on the 28th of March, 1814, are going to be struck off the list to make room for the Generals of the old army, who are taken from their retreat. Among others, the 100 who, though in the vigour of life, were included in the ordinance of the 24 of December, 1824, and all those who have received their appointment since that time. " We are able to affirm a fact, which is no less certain► than remarkable, namely—that from the 31st of July last to the 17th of August, there has not been committed a single murder, nor a single robbery at Paris. What a people are the people of Paris ! And what can the agita tors hope, who attempt to mislead the heroic population ? " Last Wednesday Marshal Jourdan took possession of the government of the Hotel des Invalides, to which he was appointed by an ordinance of the King of the 16th inst. The conqueror of Fleurus was received with enthusiasm by time brave men, some of whom were witnesses of h►s f►rst exploits, and most of whom participated in the several campaigns, which, under the conduct of the illustrious General, hare immortalised the Drench armies. In the midst of the general emotion, the new Governor addreised his ancient companions in victory in the following speech, which was listened to with respectful silence, and followed by loud acclamations, which manifested the sympathy of those venerable warriors with the chief who is appointed to watch henceforth Over the prosperity of the establish merit in which the concluding years of their life will be passed in a noble and glorious repose. " must first return thanks to the King for having conf►ded to nit the government of this hotel, in which the remains of so many glorious armies are assen►bled. In seeing myself surrounded with so great a number of brave men who have shed their blood for the defence and glory of their country, I feel the most lively emotion. " 1 And I, too, am an old servant to the country, and I come among you as a father in the midst of his family. " ' I shall maintain order and discipline in the hotel, at th e same ti m e that I shall watch with paternal solicitude that the wants of all the brava men who inhabit it may be provided for. You will always find in the firmness, justice, and kindness.' " It is said that the Ministers who have been arrested will soon be brought to Paris. It is to be supposed that this will be effi!eted without difficulty. Every body wishes that justice should be done, but in a legal manner. Very curious facts are gathered from the conversations of the prisoners. 4' Thus, one of Charles's Ministers is stated to have said, that on Saturday evening he was still ignorant of his resolutions, and that the king laid before him the or di g i t oces already suede out, and signed by three of his colleagues. 'Now that things are come to this point (said Charles), you see I do not ask your opinion or ad vice. I know that your opinion is contrary to this. But I ask if you will abandon me in this way, in which I cuter with you or without you,' Hire,' returned the Minister, 'your Majesty asks fur my head,---I give it you.' And he signed. . . . . m.

Th e c hi e f s , b oth men and wo men, of the absolute party go there every day in great numbers. Ara act of communication between the town and the chateau is kept up by estafettes. ..

" The King said, in his answer, that he had not for gotten the brave battalions of the Cote du Nord, with which he had fought at Gemappe, and that if there still remained in the department some of those old defenders of the country, he begged the deputation to tell them that he remembered them with affection. 'I am happy,' added the King, at the abolition of civil war in your country; and as for the abolition of the penalty of death, I am led to de sire it from a conviction which I have entertained through out my life, and I shall do my utmost to realize your wish, which is also mine.'

HAVRE, AUO. go. - - The late King of France, at his departure from Rain bouillet, had still a pretty numerous cortege about hie per son. But when he had got about half way to Cherbourg, that cortege was reduced one-half. The escort which the Government had thought proper to give him, alone re mained entire. On arriving at Valogne, it was thought that he would carry with him from 70 to 80 persons on board the American ship ; but now came the pinching point. Out of nearly 500 persons who entered Cherbourg with Charlie X. only eighteen embarked. The King was dressed in black. He appeared to main tain a certain tranquillity and firmness. The Duke d'An gouleine wept much. The Dauphiness and the Duchess de Berri appeared confounded. The King gave his hand to be kissed by about a dozen persons, who, after dropping some tears with their farewell, abandoned the white fur the tri-coloured cockade. M. Pouyer, the Alaritime prefect, gave his hand to the Duke of Bordeaux to conduct him on booed. The Princesses were dressed in the plainest manner. The King, who was on deck while the Great Britain was about getting under weigh, went down to the cabin to be out of the way of the men who were working the vessel. The following details respecting the arrest of M. de Polignac, are extracted from a letter, dated Granville, August 16 : .... On Sunday, the 15th, a lady, who was recognized to be the Marchioness de Saint Fargeau, arrived towards the evening at Granville, to embark on board a sloop which was to convey her to Jersey. A servant who followed this lady, asked the master of the vessel to let him go on board in his boat, while his papers were examining at the Custom-house, telling him that he was greatly fatigued by his journey. The master refused. Madame de Saint Fargeau and her pretended domestic went into a tavern in the port, whither they were followed by some young men, who thought they perceived something sus picious in the air of the servant. The young men asked the two travellers to show the papers they had brought with them. The Marchioness exhibited a pass. port which had been given her at Caen, on the 10th of August, authorising her to go with her servant to Jersey. Notwithstanding this document, the young men thought proper to oppose the embarkation of the two travellers.— The people assembled, and insisted that the Marchioness should be conveyed to the Mayoralty, and that her servant should be taken to the prism). The National Guard un dertook to watch the latter during the night. Next day the Mayor examined the lady and her pretended valet se parately. Their embarrassment, changes of colour, and awkward answers, confirmed the suspicions which bad beeu raised, and some acknowledgments which escaped from the servant left no doubt respecting him. He was Prince Polignac. lie requested to be conveyed to Saint- IA by the Mayor and the President of the Tribunal of Commerce. " On the morning of the 16th the Ex-Minister and the Marchioness !ere sent off i n th e dili gence. A detachment of the 6th Light and of the National Guards escorted them from the Mayoralty to the carriage, to protect them from any accident which might have occurred in consequence of the exasperation of the people." to EX-KING of FRANCE and Ida FAMILY, COWLS, AUG. 20, The expatriated King of France continues on board the American ship Great Britain, in Cowes Roads, near the entrance of the harbour. Communications take place be tween him and the British Government, but their object does not transpire. M. de Choiseul has come down from London, and Sir Colin Campbell visited (officially) the King yesterday. It is said that the royal fugitive intends to remain here no longer than he can complete an arrange.. meat now making with the Austrian Government for a permanent residence in Germany. Meanwhile the Seine, a French corvette (frigate), with two military officers of rank on board, has anchored within musket-shot of the American vessels, to watch their proceedings, and an armed cutter (the Bodeur) has taken her station close upon the bow of the Great Britain. Both the French vessels have the tricoloured flag eying. Yesterday a cut ter arrived from Cherbourg, with despatches for the French Commander. Owing to the peculiar and ano malous state of our diplomatic relations with France, and the absence of an Ambassador from that country, the French flag is not saluted. It is said that the Captain of the corvette offered to salute if it was returned, but as no instructions had been received by . the Port Ad m i ra l to show thi s mar k of respect to the tn.-colour, the condition could not be complied with. I saw the French officerson shore yesterday at Portsmouth. The Great Britain is a vessel of 725 tons burthen, her companion, the Charles Carroll, 411 tons. Both are passage packets, and the accommodations are no doubt excellent. The females of the expatriated Royal family have taken up their residence at the Fountain Hotel, whir, they are much exposed to public gaze, the sitting room frontin g th e jetty, where the steam-packets disembark their numerous paellas from Southampton and Portsmouth. The Dauphine's, and the Duchess de Berri with her children, take their promenades and 'idea about the island lik e or dinary visitors, without ostentation in dress or equipage. They do n o t exc it e th e curiosity which m i g h t h ave been expected. The circumstances attending the fall of this family seem to have blunted public sympathy, The Duchess appears of 'a lively, vivacious character, but list person is certainly not attractive, or even agreeable. , The Duke de Bourdeaux is a boy apparently of someintelli gence, but his complexion is rather sallow and unhealthy: he is attended by his preceptor. The suite of the Royal party on shore is small ; that in attendance upon the King and Dauphin is more numerous—it includes the Duke de Polignac, Count de la Roche Jacquelin, RAM de Dames the Marquis de Choiseul, Duke de 1.01 es• bourg, Marshal the Duke de Ragusa, &c. The two Ist• ter are now absent. Several ladies are of the potty.' The Princesses, it is said, are charmed with thesemel of the island, though they complain of their stinted ladr ings. Yesterday they visited East Cowes, and the beau. tiful grounds of Mr. Nash, East Cowes Castle. They also inspected Norris Cattle, belonging to Lord Beaty Seymour, and have expressed a wish to take up their re', sidence there, to which the noble owner has no objeotioot,' believe. The site of the Castle, as is well known to t he visiters of this island, is a delightful one. Several Of tlu nobility here have paid their respects to the King (tabard his ship ; but I cannot learn that the ladies on ahoro ceive visiters. At Portsmouth the feelings of the lower °Edge leena ! run strongly against the Ex-King.
