FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Journal de Gand.)
GHENT, JULY 30.—The horizon is becoming
every moment more obscure, and French blood has
already flowed. The two parties have taken up
arms, and neither appears disposed to yield. On
one hand we are informed that all the manufactories
and workshops being shut up, an immense number of
people formed a disposable force, which joined the
National Guard. That corps, though long ago dis-
banded, was instantly reconstituted, and perhaps to
it the re-establishment of public tranquillity will be
owing.
The most popular man of France, M.:de Chateau.
briand, has addressed a proclamation to the people.
The Chamber of Peers having spontaneously assail-
bled, resolved, it is said, to make representations to
the Monarch, and to protest against the illegal mea-
sures which had been adopted.
On the other hand, the ultra-Royalist cause, de-
fended by the Drapeau Blanc, boldly proclaims
that the King will finish what he has begun—" Let
the revolution," says the Drapeau, borrow the De-
puty's coat; let the revolution stain the Peer's
mantle; let the revolution even disguise itself in
scarlet robe:, nothing will astonish us." These
words sufficiently prove that the Peers, the Deputies,
and the Tribunals, are at the head of public opinion
against the present Ministry.
The following is the news of the 28th of July, at
noon. (Here extracts are given from a second edi-
tion.of the Ilfessager des Chan:bre:, from which we
select the following) :
" During yesterday and this forenoon the aspect
of Paris has been most disgusting and sinister.
" The people have formed barricades at the end
of several streets, with hackney-coaches and omni-
buses. All the lamps were broken yesterday evening.
" The people caused all the theatres to be closed.
Several guard-houses of the gendarmes were besieged
and burnt, especially that of the Place de la Bourse.
This morning the people are assembled in still
greater numbers, and more exasperated. They are
taking away, defacing, or destroying all the Royal
ensigns, such as the plates of the notaries, and the
arms over the shops of those who have patents from
the Court.
" All gunsmiths' shops have been broken into, as
hare also all shops where flints and gunpowder are
sold.
" On several points the engagements with mus-
kets presented dreadful spectacles. The streets are
strewed with killed and wounded.
gi We do not yet know the number of citizens and
troops killed and wounded. The calculations which
circulate are very contradictory.
" It is still time; the cry of the Charter is the
first which is uttered by the hearts of Frenchmen.
There is not a man among this immense multitude
who is not ready to throw down his arms if the law
is restored. Let the Government show itself, hold-
ing the social compact, and these immense masses,
which nothing could restrain nor discourage in the
defence of their rights, may yet consent to become
peaceable citizens, if the laws, which are the only
conditions of peace, are restored to them. Let it be
remembered, that in a few hours even repentance
will be too late.

" We ourselves shall then belong only to the
country. Our part, as writers and conciliators, will
be ended : only that of martyrs of Prance will re-
main, and our choice is made."
The following is contained in a letter from Lille :
" The news of the troubles in Paris has exasperatep
all mind,. A Colonel of Cuirassiers, M—,
having expressed in menacing terms his approbation
of the measures of the present Ministry, was attacked
by the populace, and compelled to take refuge in a
g uard-house."
A letter dated Caen (Calvados), July 25, says—
" The Infantry Regiment of the Royal Guard, and the
detachment of the Horse Grenadiers, who have been
about two months in garrison at Caen, have received
orders to return the former to Courbevoie, near
the capital; and the latter to Versailles, where they
are usually quartered. One of these battalions marched
yesterday, and will arrive at its destination by the
Ist of August. The remainder will be at Courbevoie
on the 2d."

(From the Courier de Pays Bas.)
BRUSSELS, JULY 31.—A letter received this
moment from Paris announces that " the popular
movement increases in energy. Charles X. aad his
family continue shut up is St. Cloud, where im-
posing forces are concentrated for their protection
against the indignation and rage of the public."
The Itfettager announces that the King has
given audiences to the Bishop of Beauvais and to
M. de Villeneuve, Post-Master-General.
Accounts received at the English Embassy state
that " the National Guard is re-organised; that
General Gerard is at its head; that it has occupied
the post of the Hotel de Ville; that the people
have taken the barracks of the Rue de Mouffetard;
that the cannon are firing in the streets, which have
been unpaved; and that the Chambers have de-
clared their sittings permanent."
It is Marmont who is selected to carry into eze-
eution the despotic ordinances of the 25th of
July. It is well known that he is the meat un-
popular of all the French Marshals. He is ac-
counted a traitor on account of the capitulation of
Paris, which he signed. It is in reference to his
conduct that the soldiers invented the word
reenter, and us the Marshal is a complete bankrupt,
the Court no doubt reckons on his zeal.
Martignac is arrived at Paris. Deputies arrive
from all parts of France and hold meetings.
