EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (From the Times Private Correspondent.) PARIS, SATURDAY, FOUR. O'CLOCK, P.M. The last two days have been fertile in renewed reports of an approaching change in the French Cabinet. Lists of the new Ministry were handed about at the Bourse, accompanied with confident as sertions that yesterday or this day they would h found in the onicial part of the Moniteur. This has wit been the case, nor is it likely that we shall find any similar announcement in the columns of that journal for some time. The King's approaching de parture from Paris with the intention of spending the fine season at St. Cloud, on his return from Compiegne, is indicative of a resolution taken to leave the Ministerial arrangements as they ar,, until a, more urgent necessity than exists at present obliges him to aber them. The Ministry, as it is now com posed, is incl. ed weak and incomplete ; but as the entire conversion of those candidates who could give it strength, to the principles of the juste milieu, has not proved practicable, it is chosen as a pis-aller, lest a remodelling should lead to any modification of that system of policy which M. C. Perier had taken so much pains to establish. The Carlist papers continue to represent this country as being in a state of general fermentation, owing to the delay of the third restoration, and ascribe to it an infinity of distresses and evils which arise from that cause alone. I do not know whether it is worth while to take any notice of such bare faced mistatements, which find no willing readers here but among the comparative few with whose wishes they agree. The vast majority of the nation look with contempt upon every thing that the Gir• lists may say or do, and laugh at the impotent ma noeuvres of the agents of the party in those parts of the country where they imagine that they stand a chance of success. But it is amusing to see the earnest tone with which their predictions about a third restoration are echoed by some English writers, who make their Tory politics a reason why they should misrepresent the extent of ultra-royal ism in France. No rational man can understand what good these parties expect they will bring to the cause by endeavouring to mislead its friends as to the state of public feeling regarding it. All they could hope for would be to encourage a renewal of attempts similar to the late foolish one of the Duchess de Berri, attended by fatal consequences to those who may be induced to embark in them. The west of France has not yet been freed from those bands of robbers who give to their calling the dignified name of royalism; but the Government has taken measures which must soon clear the high roads of their presence. An affray lately took place with a party of them and some gendarmes sent in their pursuit, which the Carlists call civil war. It appears, however, that a grand council of Carlists took place at Nantes on the 23d, for the purpose of consulting on oceedings to be adopted in conse quence of the Duke of Wellington's return to the Ministry. They separated without fixing upon any plan, but agreed to meet again for that purpose on the 10th of June. If they do so, they are likely to separate again in the same way, unless the autho rities, who watch over their motions, think proper to lay hands on them. We have accounts from Madrid of the 18th inst., which describe the effects of the news just received of the appointment of the Duke of Wellington as Prime Minister. The Apostolicals and the Arn . s ters were quite overwhelmed with joy. A Cabinet Council was immediately held, the report of whose del,berations was transmitted to Aranjucz. On coming out of the Council, Count d' Alcudia held a conference of some hours with the Russian Ambas sador. A courier was subsequently sent off to Lon don, bearer, it is said, of instructions to the Spanish Minister there to use his utmost exertions to obtain from the new Cabinet an assurance that the alliance with Don Pedro would not be continued. M. de Reyneval, the new French Ambassador, had been very well received by the Spanish Court, and seemed on very good terms with the Ministers. It would seem from the private accounts received from Anemia, that the French expedition will lead to effects quite the reverse of those which were pro fessedly in contemplation when resolved upon. The small French garrison is unable to protect the citi zens who have made themselves in any way conspi cuous by their partiality for the invaders. Notwith standing the utmost exertions of the French com mander, secret arrests are daily made by the Papal police, and numbers have already disappeared from th e place. If political persecutions have commenced in the very presence of the French, what is to be expected after their departure ? As to the political institutions formerly spoken of, they are now wholly out of the question. It is not likely that the Aus trians would have allowed the Papal Government seriously to think of them at any time, and it is evident that the Court of Vienna has never divested itself of the notion that M. Perier's object in that expedition related chiefly to his internal policy. The T ur k ey post, wh i ch arr i ved here last -Thurs day, and which will most likely not be in London before Tuesday, has brought u.s letters from Con stantinople of the 25th ult. It is painful to find, by th e best accounts they contain, that the Sultan, in his gigantic endeavours to civilize his subjects, is likely, after all that he has already achieved, to fail through mere exhaustion of pecuniary means. The preparations of a regular war against his formidable vassal, the Pacha of Egypt, have completely drained his treasury, and if he does not come out triumph ant, or finds no resource within his reach, his Nyzam Gedid, or regular army system, must perish, and with it all hopes of regenerating the empire. The Sultan has applied to some of the principal foreign mercantile houses about a loan, but he has failed in raising one through them ; and as a last resource, he intended to make applicat ons to some eminent capi talists in this and your part of the world, for the negotiation of a 'regular loan. There was a report at Constantinople that St. jean d'Acre had been taken by the Egyptians. The Pacha of Egypt seems also to be in a predi cament nearly similar to that of the Sultan, with regard to pecuniary matters. His expenses during the last five or six years have bean, on an average, about five times as great as his income, and the late protracted wsr in Spits is said to have given the Coup dc grace to his coffers. He will want a large army to oppose the Sultan, and the Arabs show no d isposition to fight against the banner of the Chief of their religion without good pay. The French Funds have improved to-day, in con sequence of the settled state that things are assum ing in England, and the absence of any cause of agitation here. Business at the Bourse, however, was not extensive. Z. , Oc. R ee. C I 9O, FUNDS.--PARI S , MAY 24.-Five per Cents. 96f. 95e.

The Sunday Anti-Reform Journals are, as a matter of course, filled with all sorts of doleful vaticinations, in the event—now, thank GOD, 110 longer a matter of doubt—of the Reform Bill becoming the law of the land. The " re volutionary" measure is the mildest epithet of op probrium they lavish on this second great Magna Charta of British liberty ; and as for the Minis ters who have brought it forward, BEELZEBUB himself in the good old days of bell, book and candle, when excommunication and anathema were the favourite pastimes of the Church-- even BEELZEBUB himself was never painted blacker in those days, than our Anti• Reform cotemporaries paint the GREY Administration in these. There is no proof so sure, so decided, of a bad cause, as abuse; and had we never mixed our selves up with the Reform question, we should feel confident that it had justice and common sense to recommend it, from the excessive, persevering malignity (without an atom of argument) with which it has been followed up by its opponents. But the virulence of such men is now not merely ludicrous, it is absolutely pitiable, and can engender in the breasts of the charitable, no feelings save those of compassion. The time is gone by, never to return, when the Anti-Reformers were power ful as a faction. They are now in the last, the lowest stage of human prostration and imbecility ; indignation, therefore, is wholly out ofthe question, henceforth they can be viewed only with pity and contempt. In a few years their very name as a party will be forgotten, or will he brought under public notice by the historian, for the sole purpose of pointing " a moral," or adorning " a tale." Yet, in their long summer-day of sunshine, the Tories have been the cause of immense mischief to the country, and may think themselves more than ordinarily fortunate in being let (lie in public recollection, without being called to a severe account for all their past misdeeds. That fine line of MILTON, " Thick as autumnal leaves that strow the brooks of Val lombrosa," applies with singular felicity to the multitudinous calamities which a crew of purblind Tories have brought on the land of their birth, and, as it would seem, of their contempt also and aversion. The following are extracts from Dutch and Hamburg Papers. They contain no news of any importance. A St. Petersburgh Journal, we perceive, announces the death of Counsellor PASEEWITCH, father of the Russian Field- Marshal of that name, on the 26th of April : THE HAGUE, MAY 23.—We learn that in conse quence of the conference that took place yesterday be tween the Minister of Finance and the Central Section of the Second Chamber, some alterations are to be made in the project of law for an excise duty on coals and turf. A publ;c sitting of the Second Chamber is expected to take place at the end of this week, to discuss the means of providing for the extraordinary expenditure of the State. MIDDELBURG, MAY 21.—A strong detachment of Colonial troops coming from Harderwyk was landed yes terday at Flushing, to reinforce the garrison. BREDA, MAY 23.—The preparations for the camp on the heath near Reyen, between Tilburg and this fortress, in the s ime spot where the camp was last year, are ad vancing rapidly; they will be soon completed, and the camp will be more extensive than last year. It is sup pose,: the troops will be on the ground about the 15th. AMSTERDAM, MAY 24.—The necessary measures are now in progress here for keeping the streets perfectly clean. The inhabitants, whose love of cleanliness is so well known, are invited to cooperate to this end. They are warned against eating unripe fruit, which the Com missioners sent to study the cholera in the places where it prevailed, have declared to promote the disorder. BERLIN, MAY 20.—The Government of Poland has slotted the sum of 300,000 florins for the relief of the inhabitants of Warsaw and Pritga, who suffered severe losses by the late war. FRANKFORT, MAY 21.—The Bavarian Government has revoked, without any conditions, the prohibition of the intended meeting at the ruins of the Castle of Hamback on the 27th of May, the anniversary of the Constitution. The Government has yielded to the represemations of the whole circle. In a public rescript of the Members of the Government of the circle, it is stated, that in prohibiting the meeting, the only object was to prevent an assemblage which publicly indicated intentions danger ous to the State. But when a number of respectable ci t4ens declare their intention of celebrating, in a friendly circle, a festive day, viz. the anniversary of the Consti tution, the Government must positively declare it can have the less reason to object to this, Lot only as such a festi vity is perfectly legal, but because there is not the smallest intention of interfering with the pleasures of the people. A'l parts of the circle are open for the purpose; and if the Government wishes that those citizens may not realist their project at the same place, it because the two assem blies could not be clearly distinguished ; and the first, in consequence of the seditious character which it has itself assumed, cannot be tolerated ; for that society which declares its intentions to be to celebrate an anniversary of the Constitution, the ordinance of the Bth inst. is revoked, but it continues in full force against the ether. In another subsequent rescript the Government, refer ring to the preceding. states that the founders of the fes tival at Hambach having positively declared in three several representations addressed to the Magistrates, and published by them:-Ist, That they are unconnected with any intrigue to induce persons of any class to attend by money or other means ; 2d, That there is no thought of any offence to the constituted authorities in the country ; 3d, That they are equally remote from any union against foreign powers ; 4th, That they merely intend to celebrate a popular festival, and take on themselves, with the Magi strates of Neustadt, to be personally answerable for every breach of tranquillity and order ; all the reasons for the prohibitions are removed, and the ordinance of the Bth therefore, wholly revoked. The proffered and accepted guarantee of the most respectable citizens, gives the Govern ment full confidence that no illegal proceedings will take place on the occasion. AMSTERDAM, MAT 25.

The restoration of train quillity in the kingdom of Poland having rendered thi measure unnecessary, his Majesty has been pleased to re voke the said ukase, and to permit the Russi in mer chants to settle their accounts with the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Poland according to the prevailing ordi nances. As for the sums already received, Ciders have been given to the Minister of the Interior to take care to have them paid to those to whom they Vong. (By the Alexandra steam-boat.) ST. PETEKSIIURGH, MAY 18.-Count Orloff arrived here the day before yesterday on board the Alexandra, which performed the passage from Travemunde in four days and eight hours. In consequence of the new organization of the higher departments of the military administration his Majesty has appointed General Czernicheff to be Minister of War. Last Sunday the Noli me tangere, a ship of the line of 84 guns and 12 carronades, was launched here in the presence of the Emperor and Imperial family. A new -hip of the line of 120 guns, to he called the Warsaw, and one of 130 guns, to be called the .71lqbodat, are being built at Nicolajtff.

It remains to he seen whether the King of Saxony's Government will approve of his being given up. The Leips;g fair is the first that has taken place for these twenty-five years. Above 28,000 buyers and sellers were entered on the list of strangers. The Prussian manufacturers alone sold goods to the amount of six mil lions of dollars. The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Marburg de clares the report spread by the Nureinburg Correspondent and the Swabian Mercury, of the ill treatment of Pro lessor Boot, on his arrival and during his stay at Stras burgh, to be nothing but falsehood and calumny.—llam burgh Papers, May 25.

KING'S BENCEI.-(THIS DAY.) MANDAMUS.-THE KING V. THE MASTER AND WARDENS OF TILE MERCHANT TAILORS ' COMPANY. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a rule, calling on the Master and Wardens of the Merchant Tailors' Company to show cause why a mandamus should not issue, directing them to summon a Court of the fraternity at large for the election of a Master and Wardens on the 24th of June next. The charter vested in the fraternity at large the power of electing the governing officers, but that power had been taken from them by the Master and Wardens, who u-ually elected their successors. The COURT granted a rule to show cause. THE XINO V. THE JUSTICES OF MIDDLESEX. Sir J. SCARLETT moved for a mandamus directed to the magistrates of the Quarter Sessions for the county of Mid dlesex, commanding them to hear an appeal at the instance of William Spicer. The grounds of the application were these—An application had keen made to the licensing ma gistrates for a license to a house so near to the public-house kept by Mr. Spicer, that it was sworn by several persons, that another public-house in that neighhourhood was unnecessary, and by Mr. Spicer that it would much in jure his business ; but, upon hearing these objections, the magistrates granted the license. The Act of Parliament 9th Geo. IV. gave a party aggrieved by the act of any licensing magistrates liberty to appeal to the Quarter Ses sions, who had the power, if the license had been withheld, of granting it, and, vice versa, if it had been granted im properly, of withh-'ding it. The Justices at the Quarter S,asiona, upnn the appeal of Mr. Spicer, against the grant ing of the license, conceived they had no power of healing the appeal, except against the refusal to grant a license, and they refused to hear the appeal. Their LORDSHIPS granted a rule to show cause. THE KING 11. JAMES ACLAND. Mr. POLLOCK moved to make a rule absolute for a cri minal information against the defendant for a libel on some of the magistrates of Bull. No cause being shown, the rule was made absolute. THE KING V. WILLIAM EUSTY. The defendant had been committed by a coroner upon an inquisition, charging him with manslaughter. On tie m , ,tion of his Counsel this morning he was or dered to be liberated from custody, and to find bail—him self in 400/. and four sureties in 101. each—to appear to take his trial at the Assizes. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) Their Lordships and the King's Counsel appeared to— day in their full Cuurt dresses, in honour 0( his Majesty's A few motions of no interest to the public were disposed of, and the Court rose a few minutes before 11 o'clock. The Lord CHIEF BARON intimated that the Court would proceed with the new trial paper to•morrow. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) The Court sat to-day in Banco, and heard motions of no public interest. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) LEECH'S BANKRUPTCY. John Leech, of the London Coffeehouse, again came up for examination this morning. Mr. Straight, solicitor to the assignees, stated that since the bankrupt was last before the Court he had given up to the assignees a cash-book and ledger ; but as they were made up not from any authentic books of his own, but from th e i n f ormat i on of others, they were not quite satisfied. It appeared that about the middle of the year 1823 Mr. Leech bad purchased wines from Messrs. Reay, not for the purpose of his business, fut for that of raising money. Having obtained thf. wines, he pledged the warrants for them with several parties for money advanced. It was the wish of the as signees that the bankrupt should be examined upon tha , object, with a view to see whether some discovery mighl not be made advantageous to the creditors. Mr. MAYNARD, solicitor to the Bankrupt, submitted that Mr. Leech having discovered where all his property was, having given a list of all his creditors and debtors, he accuracy of which was not impeached, ought not to he d.layed passing his last examination, till it was aseer lined whether the parties with whom the wine warrant were lodged were entitled to retain them. The COMMISSIONERS decided that the assignees, beint lissatisfied, had a right to examine Mr. Leech upon the :object. Mr. Leech being accordingly put into the box, stated, hat he was first introduced to Messrs. Reay about two sears ag o. He applied to them for the purpose of discount ing a bill of 500/. which they did. He received the wholeof •hat sum, with the exception of a discount of five per cent. He believes, but was not positive, that it was all in one sum. The next transaction with Messrs. Reav, was a purchase of a quantity of wine, which he did not want for the purposes of his business, having at that time 12,000/. worth in his cellar. The warrants for that W i ne h e pledged with Sir Charles Price, as security for a loan of 2,000/. for seven days. The examination having been continued for some time into Mr. Leech's bill transactions with Messrs. Reay, which all appeared to be much of the same nature, Mr. Maynard submitted that however gong it migh,; be in Mr. Leech to purchase these wines and to raise money upon them without keeping books, it could not now be helped, and that it had noting to do with his passing his examination. Mr 6 . . TRAIGHT said he thought it necessary to examine into each item of Messrs. Reay's account, as without it they could not have any knowledge of how Mr. Leech had dis posed of all lie received from them. [The examination was proceeding when our reporter left the Court.] SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

LEGISLATURE OF THE BAHAMAS —On the 23d of March the Governor, Major-General Smith, prorogued the Legislature. The following is an extract from his Speech : " GENTLEMEN,—I come here to prorogue this General Assembly, with a view to its immediate dissolution. " The deep regret which, under other circumstances, I could not but feel at being compelled to dissolve a General Assembly of these Islands a second time, and within a short period, is essentially diminished, by my conviction nut only of the absolute necessity of the measure, but fol lowed up, as it necessarily will be, by the resumption of an unquestionable and constitutional right of the Crown, which has been allowed too long to be dormant ; it will contribute in a greater degree towards the future perma nent tranquillity and happiness of the colony than any other expedient which could be adopted." which is long, ends as follows : Tliethspinelr Speech, " it, however, right to tell you, that it appears to be very doubtful, under any circumstances, that his Majesty will be again advised to sanction the unqualified suppression of the Act Bth George 11., and to permit the details of the civil list of this colony to depend upon the annual vote of the Colonial Legislature, thereby affording the House of Assembly of this island an annual control over the Judges, the Law Officers, and the servants of the Crown, not allowed by the constitution of even the House of Commons of the United Kingdom." The ice in front of the city has nearly all disappeared ; a few banks still remain. We are not aware how far down the channel is open, but it appears clear, as far as Varennes ; the weather is not so mild as might be expected. Yester day a strong cold wind blew from the eastward. (From the Quebec Papers.) . . UPPER CANADA, APRIL 12.—The weather continues unusu•illy cold and dry. The Canada steamer started on her first trip to the Niagara, breaking through the ice in the bay. A Jamaica mail has arrived ; sailed on the 10th April, and from Carthagena on the 26th March. (From the Jamaica Papers.) MOST INTERESTING NEWS FROM NEW GRANADA.— " The Convention, after having agreed on the rules to be followed on the e'ection of President and the Vice-Presi dent of the Republic of the Council of State, decreed that for the first three functionaries a majority of two-thirds should be necessary. The number of deputies who assembled were sixty three. On the first scrutiny General Santander was elected for the office of President of the State by a majority of 49 votes. General Obando lost the Vice-Presidenc)ship by a majority of 22 votes in fa vour of Dr. Janacio Marquez. On the morning of the 10th Marquez was installed in office. The President, General Obando has been appointed pro tem. Minister of War. The Executive has appointed Colonel Montez Governor of Carthagena. In the present distressed state of the island extraordinary means should be applied. Coinage of small checks has already taken place to the amount of 50,0001. They write from Bogota to the I6th March that the country is far from enjoying a state of repose. By the French mail this morning accounts from the frontiers of Poland state, that tranquillity at present reigns in the interior; and that all that was published of the troubles in Lithuania is without foundation. Accounts from Madrid state that the Emperor of Rus sia has declared to the King of Spain that he wishes the accornpliabment of the ancient project of the Court of Spai❑ to conquer Portugal, and to unite it with the Crown of Castile, to oppose France on the side of the South. The Hamburg steamer has arrived, left on the 25th inst., and brings no news of consequence. This being the King's birthday, it is a holyday at the Bank ; though the Stock Exchange is open ; but up to the present hour little or nothing doing. Consols, which left of on Saturday at 85k for the account, opened at the same price ; for money Ssi. HALF-PAST ONE. Up to the present hour, we have neither political news nor reports. The next event, now on the tapis, which is looked to with some anxiety, and in which our merchants are deeply interested, will be Don Pedro's attempt on Portugal. Re port, received this morning, via Paris, says the expedition sailed from Terceira on the 15th inst., but we cannot state it from any authentic source. All accounts from Lisbon agree that Don Miguel will hold out to the last extremity, a nd if conquered, set fire to Lisbon. But we have no doubt that our armed intervention will deter him from putting so foul a deed into execution. We have a late arrival from Bengal, Feb. 5, but we do not hear of any important news by it. The Consol Market is very firm at present, and has improved since the early part of the morning to S 5 for the Account ; for Money, 554. In the Foreign Market little doing. 7 BREA' 0' CL 0 CK.

At about 10 o'clock this morning the variou. 3 ari,h churches announced o,e (1,,y by their bells ring ing merrily, and the Royal standards were hoisted ai heir steeples. All the shipping al Oct and below bride• were decorated with flags and streamers ; and the Royal •tandard was hoisted on the Tower. Shortly before ten o'clock the whole of the household troops, who were to perform the. duties of the day, con• <isting• of detachments from the brigade of Guard. :lurched from their respective barracks in their nee !lathing on to the parade in St. James's-pail:. .vhere they formed into line, and were inspected by General Lord Hill, the Commander-in-Chief, General Dalbiac, and t numerous suite of Field Officers. The men went lirough several military evolutions with great spirit, and excellent discipline. The bands of the three regiments .vere in attendance, and enlivened the scene by the execu tion of several military and popular airs. The ring which enclosed Lord Hill and staff contained a number of Ladies if distinction. At eleven o'clock the men marched off to the Palace to perform the duties of the day. At one o'clock the Park and Tower guns fired a double Royal salute in honour of the day. At two o clock, her Majesty, pursuant to notice from the Board of Green Cloth, held a Drawing-room, which was numerously attended. After which his Majesty will give a grand dinner to about forty distinguished visitors. IFI Majesty's tradespeople will dine together at the Thatched Boise, as usual. The preparations for the illumination at the West End are of a very general an magnificent description. St. James's street will present a complete bl4ze of light from the magnitude of the displays that have been made by the various club-houses. Crockford's establishment, arid Hancock and Rixon's extensive glass warehouse, will he, as usual, particularly grand, as will also Steward's in Bond street, the purveyor of cream to their Majesties. In the City the Royal tradespeople have also erected many beautiful devi ces. Rundell and Bridges, on Ludgate-hill, will he very splendid. It is quite certain tint the King will not dine with the Duke of NVellington to-day ; and the reason for his Majesty not breakfasting with Earl Grey, is, we understand, his fear that the fatigue of the day would be too great. EXTENSIVE FIRE AT GREAT YAR- MOUTH. On Sunday morning, between twelve and one o'clock, A.M. a most alarming and destructive fire was disco vered at one of Messrs. Grout's silk fa,•ories on the Denes —the flames were first seen from the fourth story of the building, and before six o'clock it was, with the engine house, &c. entirely consumed. The damage is estimated at upwards of .20,0001., and will throw out of employ full 500 hands. It was a handsome brick building, built within the last nine years. The awful grandeur of the scene about two o'clock, particularly from the Market-place, Church, the shipping in the roads and harbour (with factory, hos pital, and Church-bells, ringing), may he better imagined tnan described from a building with 1;:,0 windows, five stories high, at that time one complete body of flame. It is the largest fire ever remembered in this town. The origin of the conflagration is rot yet ascertained. The building is supposed to be insured. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. Last week's arrivals of wheat and barley were to a li mited extent, particularly the latter, which fully main tains the currrncy of this day seninight—ne former must he noted at Is. cheaper for the second and inferior qualities.

Casimir Perier was born on the 12.111 of )ctober, 1777, at Grenoble. The son of a •ich merchant, he at an early age embraced the -areer of arms, and served in the Italian campaigns )11799 and 1800, in the staffofthe Military Engi leers. On the death of his father, however, he witted the army, and devoted himself wholly o commercial pursuits. In 1802 he founded a tanking establishment at Paris, and subsequently established a number of manufactories of cotton spinning and sugar-refining, and also steam flour atilia, all of which were eminently successful, and contributed to the formation of the immense fortune which he leaves behind him. He first became known to the public in 1816, by a pamphlet against the foreign lean system, which was equally remarkable for a lucid clearness of argument, and a profbund knowledge of finance. In 1817 he was elected one of the Deputies for the department of the Seine, and from that time until the Revolution of 1830 continued the firm opponent of every Ministerial encroachment on the rights and privileges of the people. He parti cularly distinguished himself by his hostility to the Villele Administration, having himself sup ported ahnost singly the whole burden of the op position to the famous Budget of M. de Villele, which he disputed item by item with a talent and perseverance worthy of entering the lists with the illustrious financier to whom he was opposed. When M. de Polignac became President of the Council the opposition e 1 M. Pe:ier assumed a more violent character, and lie waa preeminent among the 221 Deputies who Toted the famous address which led to the fatal Otdonnances of July. When the Revolution b; eke out, he at once avowed himself the advocate of the popular cause, and opened his house as the place of meeting of the Deputies who assembled to pro test against the illegality of the proceedings of the Crown. Firmly, however, attached to the principles of constitutional opposition, and shrinking, therefore, from the probable effects of a revolution, he was one of the last to abandon the hope that his infatuated Sovereign would open his eyes to the gulf on the brink of which he was standing, and, by a timely re vocation of the Ordonnances, prevent the ne cessity of the extreme measures of an appeal to arms, and a consequent change of dynasty. When, however, these became inevitable, M. Perier attached himself firmly to the work of consolidating the new throne of Louis-Phi lippe, and reassembling those elements of order and stability which the convulsion of July had scattered, but not annihilated. On the dissolu tion of the Ministry of M. Lafitte, M. Casimir Perier was called to the head of the Government, and immediately entered into the system of con servative policy, which he continued until the close of his career. The last time he took any important part in the debates in the Chamber of Deputies was on the 20th of March, when he pronounced an eloquent defence of the conduct of Government with respect to the events of Grenoble. The last time he was present in the Chamber was on the 29th of March, when he merely brought in several private Bills. On the 3d of. April he was attacked by the scourge which has desolated Paris, and, although the in defatigable care bestowed on him by his me dical attendants had more than once apparently eradicated the disease, his frame, enfeeYed by a long-standing internal complaint, azgravated by his intense and incessant applicatioz:, was unable to resist the violence of the disease, and, after several relapses, he at length sunk under his sufferings, on the morning of the 16th of May. The dissection, which was performed by the first surgeons of the capital, proved that the seat of the disorder was in the inte3tinal organs, and that the brain was in a perfectly healthy state ; the development of that organ, so eminently remarkable in M. Cuvier, was observed, though in a less degree, in M. Perier, and is fully justi fied by the penetrating and comprehensive na ture of his talents. As an orator M. Perier was energetic and impassioned ; the natural warmth of his temper, added to the irritability produced by illness, frequently imparted a brusque acer bity to his style, which injured both the orato rical and moral effect of his eloquence ; but his reasoning was forcible, and his style command ing and effective. It is not our province to exa mine the merits or demerits of his political system ; recorders of not actors in, the great political struggle in which France is engaged, we have too often had occasion to quote the en thusiastic eulogiums and unmeasured invectives heaped upon him by the different parties, to render it necessary to repeat here that he pos sessed the strongest proof that the reproach of mediocrity never could be applied to him ; it is the attribute of genius alone to make warm friends and bitter enemies. Be his system good or bad, it will at least be allowed by his strongest oppo nents, that the course he adopted from convic tion he supported with unbroken energy ; stir rounded by obstacles of every description, op posed by ultra-royalism abroad and ultra-libe ralism at home, he opposed the single bulwark of his undaunted resolution against the waves of the factions which, flowing from opposite corners of the horizon, united only in the attempt to over throw and destroy him ; and though he at length sunk under the mighty cunfilet, he lived to see his system adopted by Europe, and died before its evil consequences, if it have any, could arrive to cloud his triumph.—French Paper. Their MAJESTIES, accompanied by the Prin cess AUGUSTA, the Duke of GtoucEsms., end Prince Groaos of Cambridge, and attended by the Loan CHAM.

They were received and conducted through the rooms by the President, and Council and Officers, Sir W. BEECHLY, and Mr. WILKIE. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LlFE.—There has been cot a little gossip in circulation this week respecting a nuptial arrange►nent between the. son of a Noble Earl and the daughter of an Edinburgh tradesman, which, we un derstand, actually took place here some days ago. The happy pair severally subscribed a minute of agreement to that effect, in presence of witnesses, and befire a Magis trate, who accordingly declared the parties husband and wife.—Perth Courier. EXORBITANT PRICE OF GREEN PEASE.- This morning Mr. Wm.
