LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 17, 1830.

It is reported this morning about the Govern-
ment Offices that Austria has determined not
to acknowledge the new King of FRANCE, and
that a large army, under the command of one of
the Archdukes, is ordered to march upon Italy.
The Austrian Ambassador had a long con-
ference with Lord ABERDEEN, at the Foreign
Office, this morning.

We have, by express, the Gazette de France,
dated Monday, and Papers and Letters of Sun-
day evening:—

(From the Journal des Debate.)
By private letters from Bayonne we have a confirma-
tion of the news previously received from Spain. These
announce in a most positive. manner, that the country from
St. Sebastian to Saragossa was in full insurrection, and
that General Mina, who was believed to have disembarked
in Gacia, had passed through Bordeaux on the Sth, and
had entered Spain at the head of SOO men.
(From the Constitutionnel.)
'We have it affirmed positively that General Despinois
has been arrested and thrown into prison. at Rochelle.
Among other orders of the King is one, that the Duke de
Chartres take the title of Duke d'Orleans, that the,
Duperre be promoted to Admiral, and, together with
Marshal Soult, receive the dignity of Peers of France.

(From the Nitional.)
We are wowed this evening that the F.x-King ha 4 de•
dared that be will not quit France until the Duke de Ilor•
tletiux is tieknOWledged King.

(From the Quotidienne.)
Charles X. had quitted St. Loo on the l3th in the morn-
ingr his way to Cherbourg. This evening it ie re-

ported that a telegraphic detpatcb announces that he wou'
embark on the 14th.

(From the Messages des Chambres.)

NANTES, Aua. B.—We learned yesterday that General
Des'penois was in the centre of La Vendee, but that his
littlo troop was diminishing considerably. The ex-com-
mandant of the 12th division has not found the people
echo his call to rebellion, nor seen them range themselves
with him under the standards of revolt. General De-
spenois has taken upon bins the title of General-in-Chief
of the Royal Armies of La Vendee, and M. tie Messey,
Under Military Intendant, that of Intendant-General of
the same armies. This morning we have received a de-
spatch, addressed to the General of Division, from General
Despenois, dated Bourbon Vendee, announcing his sub-
mission to the established Government.

PARIS, BOURSE, Atm 14.—The Funds have been
very heavy to-day, and Renter continue to fall. The
Three per Cents., which closed yesterday at 79f. 20c.,
opened at 78f. 75c., fell to 78E 60e., again rose to 78E
90c., when considerable quantities were offered at 78f.
60e. ; subsequently they fell to 78r. 10c., but towards
four o'clock became rather firm, and left off at 78f. 85c.
This fall is the result of the unfavourable news received
from Algiers and the scarcity of money. Very large dif-
ferences were paid on the 13th,' and to meet them several
persons have been forced to sell extensively of Renter. We
believe that the little activity displayed has tended to
increase the fall.

It is principally in Spanish and Neapolitan Rentes that
the speculation has been strongest; they yesterday
were 80E 45c., opened at 781. and fell to '7sf. 75c., clos-
ing at 76f. The Rente Perpetuelle closed yesterday at
52, opened this morning at 50, and shut at 451. Few
buyers of these appeared.
It is reported that the Spanish troops which had ap-
proached the French frontiers, had marched upon Madrid
with the tri-coloured flag.
BERLIN, Aua. 4.—Extraordinary couriers have suc-
ceeded each other with rapidity during the last few days.
The Russian Legation here has sent successively several
couriers to St. Petersburgh. M. de Folkersahm, Secre-
tary to the Russian Ambassador, has likewise sent out
yesterday an extraordinary courier, with despatches for
the Emperor Nicholas. Another Secretary of this Am-
bassador, M. de Gasnouski, likewise will set off on the
6th for Carlsbad, with despatches.
Ilausszts, Aua. 12.—We learn from Ghent that for
several days past the fortification, of the new citadel have
been strengthening actively, and that:at Oudenarde, Ypres,
Tourney, Menin, and the other provinces in that direc-
tion, similar activity prevailed.
(From the Journal du Havre.)
A letter from Geneva, received to-day in our town,
announces that Milan is in a state of insurrection. The
inhabitants of the Swiss frontier towns have come in great
numbers to hold out the band of brotherhood to their
French neighbours. The democratic movement of France
will not be lost upon the people, who sigh for that inde-
pendence which is the first and the most acceptable gift of

In the Times of this morning ()emirs the fol•
lowing anecdote, which is given on the autho,
rity of the Paris Correspondent to that Journal

"1 ascertained it as a fact that his old friend the Duke
de C-, Governor of the Palace of played cards
with the KING on the memorable Wednesday sight, the
28th, at St. Cloud, and that Ctrant.Es smiled and looked
more cheerful after each discharge of the cannon, which
consigned thousands of his good people of the good city of
Paris to destruction."

Supposing this to be true—and we have no
reason to doubt it, for it is strictly in keeping
with the character of a despot and a poltroon—
what claims, even of common humanity, has
CHARLES the Tenth on his subjects ? Poor
Lours the Sixteenth, who himself was neither
tyrannical, nor inhuman, nor bigotted, but simply
unfortunate, who never gave his troops orders
to fire on the people, nor smiled when he heard
the roar of the cannon that was sweeping them
away by hundreds, was put to death with scarce
a hand raised in his favour, as a monster of
despotism ; while CHARLES the Tenth is
to be treated with punctilious politeness—
to be looked on as less criminal than un-
lucky, and escorted out of his kingdom
not so much as an outrageous malefactor,
as a rash and inconsiderate Monarch! It
seems to us, that there is a manifest incon-
sistency in this sort of conduct—that it is in
fact but tinsel sentiment, and that the French
have stopped as far short of justice in this re-
volution as they exceeded it in the last. If
Lours XVI. deserved the guillotine, CHARLES
X. deserves it a hundred times more. The one
had never known that best of all experience,
which is the offspring of adversity; the other
had been steeped in it to the lips for upwards
of thirty years. He should therefore have
profited by it proportionately, but not having
done so, should pay the full penalty of all the
disasters that have proceeded from his incurable

fatuity.
But not CHARLES alone, the whole set of
his advisers, Ministers and Jesuits, who were
mixed up with the late Ordinances, should
also suffer condign punishment. There
is not a man among them all whom it would
not be stark madness to pity. We sympathize
with fidlen greatness, and even with the un-
crowned despot, provided during his career be
has exhibited the bearing of the hero ; but how
can we feel for a crew of miserable poltroons who
began by braving the indignation of a generous
people, and exulting even in the chance of a
civil war, no matter how destructive of life it
might be, provided the issue were in their favour,
but who, on the very first reverse of fortune,
instead of manfully waiting to bear the brunt
of the storm they bad raised, scampered off,
each in a different direction, like a parcel of
disorderly school-boys with the parish beadle at
their heels ?

By the bye, where was the hero-of the Tro.
cadero—where was that warrior whom the Times
so aptly styled " Prince Hilt"—when the cannon
was roaring in Paris ? What then became of
his heroic martial instincts—those brilliant lion-
like qualities which enabled him to brave death
in Spain ? Doubtless he buckled on his ar-
mour, his heroic soul flashing in his eyes, and
hurling defiance at ten thousand dangers !
Alas I no such thing. His Highness bolted I
Abiit—Excessit—Evasit—Erupit ! He braved
death in Spain, because Mere he knew he
was safe ; he eloped from it in Paris, because
Mere it looked like, reality, and because too
he was of opinion with CAMPBELL, that

" Distance lends euchantnitint to the view"

of danger, as well as of mountain•scenery. And
yet these were the men by whom a high-minded
nation, like France, was to be held in thraldom !
These poor scampering creatures, who lost what
few wits they ever bad, at the first reverse of
fortune, were to sway and represent the intellect
of one of the first nations in the world l the
bare idea is an insult to humanity, and, mixed
up with our recollections of the rest of the
Royal crew in Spain and Portugal, compels us
to revert oftener than we could desire, to Mr.
LAWSON'S toast tit the Election-dinner lately
given to Sir J. Gil/WM.I) " May the heads of
of Don ,t MiavEL, King FERDINAND) aid

CHARLES CAPET, be severed from their bo..
dies and rolled in the dust, and the sooner the
better."

German Papers state, that in consequence of
the excitement which the violation of the French
Charter has occasioned in many of the pro-
vinces, it is expected the German Government
will issue a declaration that it will not in any
case interfere in the internal affairs of France:P.....
DARMSTADT, Attu. 6.—The gross violation of the
French Charter caused a great sensation here, and was a
presage of the lively interest which succeeding events
excited among all classes. People now ask what influence
the extraordinary changes in Franca will have on Ger-
many? This question is more appropriate, as a part of
our Grand Duchy was but lately incorporated with France,
and as a report has been spread here, that in a neighbour-
ing German province on the Rhine, the populace have
already committed some excesses in consequence of the
news from Paris. The general opinion is, that it would
be highly desirable that the German Government shoul,l
speedily issue a declaration that they will not in any case
interfere in the internal affairs of France, and it is in fact
affirmed, that a motion will shortly be made in the Second
Chamber of our States, according to Article '79 of the
Constitution, to the effect that our Government may he
induced to make an application for that purpose to the
German Diet.

VIENNA, Auo. 6.—Metalliques, 99k ; Four per Cent.

FRANKFORT, Ana. 9.—Exchange on London, two
months, 149 k.

We are glad to find that the late Ministers of
France, the framers of the atrocious ordinances,
are to be impeached for high treason. M.
EUSEBE SALVERTE made an eloquent speech
in the Chamber of Deputies on the occasion ;
and after stating at full the acts of the Po LIGNAC
Administration, concluded by saying, 4, If such
acts do not constitute high treason, then is re-
sponsibility a dream ; law, a fiction ; and justice
a name."—The question was put to the vote,
when only three Members voted against the
impeachment

The Journal des Debats states that letters
from Bayonne assert, in the most positive
manner, that the country, from St. Sebastian to
Saragossa, is in full insurrection, and that
General MINA, who was supposed to have dis-
embarked in Gallicia, had passed through Bout-
deaux on the Bth, and entered Spain at the head
of 500 men. We hope he may be more for-
tunate this time than the last. There are now
no French troops to oppose the constitutional
freedom of Spain.

Thirty-five Peers have, it seems, already en-
tered their serious protest against the exclusion
of the 90 by a vote of the majority of the
Chamber of Deputies. An Ordinance, how-
ever, of PHILIP I. authorises SOUr.T, Duke of
DALMATIA and Admiral DUPERIIE to retain
their Peerages. This last is raised to the dignity
of a full Admiral, and, as such, is to rank with
a Marshal of France.
