LONDON.
MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2, 11530.

The KING will hold a Court on Wednesday
at twelve o'clock, previous to the Levee, to
receive the RECORDER'S Report.

The news from Paris, which will be found in
another column, is, so far as it goes, no less sa-
tisfactory thou important. The Liberal Depu-

ties are following up the glorious work of resist.
ance to the most monstrous, barefaced despotism
ever yet heard of, with a promptitude, an energy,
a sound and rational good sense that does honour
to their patriotism and moderation. They

lave invited the Duke of ORLHANS to exercise

the functions of Lieutenant-General of the king-
dom ; have appointed Provisional Commis-
sioners for the public administration ; re-orga-
nized the National Guard, the command of
which has been given to the veteran LA-
FAYETTE; declared their sittings legal and con-
stitutional ; and established a Municipal Com-
mission to watch over the safety of the capital,
They have decreed also that the Ministers who
signed the atrocious ordinances shall be deli-
vered up to the justice of the Chamber of
Peers ; that a declaration of rights shall be pro-
mulgated, for the purpose of explaining the
fourteenth article of the Charter, and taking
from Royalty the unlimited power which it
thought it found there, and that they them-
selves shall formally assemble on the 3d of
August.

The National Guard, meanwhile, even accord.

ins to the Monileur, are masters of Paris at
all points, so that tranquillity may be con-
sidered as in
.a partial degree restored. One
fact, however, would seem to imply that the
contest is far from being decided, and that
though the Liberals must eventually win the
day, it will not be without a struggle which hu
inanity shudders to think of. A few days since
LAFITTE waited on the Duke of ILtausA
to represent to him the deplorable state of the
capital, and to assure him that the Chamber of
Deputies would hold him personally respon-
sible for whatever disasters might arise
from him attack on the people. The
Marshal) 'lb° 61 not appear at all to relish the

idea of such fearful responsibility, asked M.
LAFITTE what were the conditions he pro-
posed. That gentleman replied that he thought
the Deputies could be answerable for every thing
returning to order, provided the Ministers were
dismissed, the illegal ordinances revoked, and
the Chamber allowed to assemble on the 3d of
August. The Marshal instantly waited on
Prince POLIGNAC with a statement of these
conditions, but returned in half a►, hour with a
declaration from the Prince that they wo►dd nut
be agreed to. "We have then civil war," said
M. LAVITTE. The Marshal bowed, and the
latter gentleman retired.

This fact, which we give on the authority of
a liberal Paper, the Journal des Debats, clearly
proves that the KING and his Ministry are pre-
pared to dare the worst. They imagine, it is
evident, that they have great expectations from
the army, particularly from the ten or twelve
thousand men who are hourly expected home
with BoURNIONT from Algiers. Without some
such hope, allowing that there is but one grain
of sense among the whole batch, it is not to be
supposed that they would ever think of braving
the great moral power of France, whose citizens
are, we have reason to believe, to a man against
them.

But we trust in GOD that the bigots may find
themselves mistaken, and that the whole nation,
from one end to the other, may call in a voice
of thunder, not merely for their dismissal, but
their exemplary punishment. They are traitors
to their country—traitors to their oath—traitors
to all that gives man value as a private, and im-
portance, as a public character. They cannot
fall too soon, and their fall cannot be:too severe
As regards the effect that the present convul-
sions in France may produce on those parts of
the continent which are still in the hands of the
oppressor, it is impossible at this early period to
speculate with any certainty. Italy, however,
we suspect, and particularly Spain, will not be
slow to follow the example set them by gallant,
high spirited France. Poland, too, may pos-
sibly attempt, though with less chance of success,
the recovery of her ancient rights. Everywhere
in short, a grand moral lesson will be read to
Crowned Heads that they cannot too soon turn
to account.

' We cannot dismiss this subject without notic-
ing two facts connected with the present state of
France, that strike us as eminently curious. One
is that in the first revolution the Duke of
ORLEANS threw himself into the arms of the
people, and for a time possessed the same influ-
ence over them, holding, too, the very same
situation that his son the present Duke now
does in the second ; the other, that the Marquis
LA FAYETTE, who headed the National Guard
in the first, heads also the National Guard, in
the present Revolution

Several Government Messengers have arrived
at the Foreign Office from Paris : the last, how-
ever, only brings despatches up to Saturday
evening, and they only confirm the news already
received. One of the Messengers, with despatches
from the lonian Isles via France, was sadly
treated by the populace near St. Denis. He bad
his despatches stolen, was robbed of all his
money, and escaped with difficulty.

The accounts from Paris just received ll]
Express are dated Saturday night. The follow.
ing is an extract of a private letter :
" The Provisional Government has just beer
installed. It will be a moderate one, and com•
posed of moderate men.

" The Duke of ORLEANS, who has been ap-
pointed Lieut.-General, will be given a Crown,
which he will wear with more moderation than
that which has just been lost.
" The Crown has gone for ever from CirAni,Es
X. and his successors. CHARLES is at Char-
tres, and has about 2000 troops with him.
" All Paris is now tranquil, and the people
who two days ago were fighting for liberty and
their country, have returned to their work.
" The banks have commenced payments, and
the discount offices are open again.
" Thus has a revolution been accomplished
which will prove an example to those who
would wish to trample on the rights of the people."
" Other letters say that Normandy is the
rallying point for CliAntEs the Tenth, and
there a civil war will be projected.

It was statedot Paris On Saturday, that the
Provisional Government were disposed to treat
with the Court if the Ministers were dimissed.
This is not true.

u The gates of the Louvre were opened to
the public by a young man. lie was conveyed
amid cheers to the Hotel de Ville.

The dead bodies of the men, women, and
children had been removed from the public
streets with all possible respect.

The two Chambers are to meet and com-
municate with each other by means of Com-

mitteex.

The accounts from Marseilles state that in-
formation had arrived there of there having
arisen discontents among the French troops at
Algiers. It was said that 10,000 had been
ordered home.

" The convicts at Toulon had attempted to
escape but were prevented. •
4i In Marseilles great excitement prevailed,
and the Marseillos hymn had been sung, in the

open streets with cheers of down with the
BOURBONS—Iong live liberty.
"At Lisle, Nismes, Avignon, anti other
places, the National Guard hat taken up arms in
favour of the people.

A third Express has been received from Pa► is
As far as the intelligence has been suffered to
transpire, we are informed that the tyrant KING
had abdicated in favour of the I)uke de BOUR.
DEAUX ; that the Duke of ORLEANS had been
declared Regent, or, as others have it, KING;
that CHARLES X. and the Royal Family had
set out for Rheims ; and that Prince POLIGNAC
had been compelled to surrender to Gene-
ral LAFAYETTE. The troops of the line
at Lyons, at Lisle, at Rouen, at Havre,
and generally throughout the departments,
had joined the citizens. This Express
left Paris on Saturday night, at which
time the Provisional Government was most suc-
cessfully exerting itself to restore order, and the
city was generally resuming its tranquil appear-
ance, though the greatest enthusiasm prevailed.
A deputation from Lisle had arrived at Paris,
offering 5,000 men if needed. A deputation
from Lyons was also reported to be on the way.
At Marseilles the inhabitants and military had
universally risen against the Government of
CHARLES X. The Marsellois Hymn was
chaunted in the streets, and a force was orga-
nizing to resist any attempt of the tyrant.
The Provisional Government of Paris was
about to send two thousand men towards
Calais, and on the arrival of the expected
quotas from the Provinces other bodies would
be despatched in different directions. One ge-
neral feeling is said to animate the French
people, and they are not more distinguished by
the heroism with which they have asserted their
liberties, than by the avoidance of all anarchy
and plunder during the strongest excitement

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
make no apology in informiag you, that the
speech you attribute tome in your Paper of Thursday even-

Brougham, is an imposition on the public, as not one sin-
tence of the speech in question was ever uttered by me.
