J. WYA'IVILLE, Architect.
Windsor Castle, July 7, IEOO.

The completion of these several works, according
to the plans authorised by the Commissioners, will
require, in the opinion of Sir J. Wyatville, an ex-
penditure of 128,0001. In this estimate, however,
is included a sum of 50,0004 of which 11,000/. and
2,000/. are intended to cover the excess of expen-
diture above the sums estimated for works in 1827
and 1828, and 31,000/. for internal fittings and
fixtures, which, though absolutely required for his
Majesty's accommodation,were not originally contem-
plated by the architect as fulling within his province.
The vote of 100,0001. which has been submitted
to the House in the Estimate for 1830, is on ac-
count of this sum of 128,0001., and has been pro-
posed as the amount which will be required to meet
the payments which may fall due between the Ist of
January and the 31st of December of the current
year.
As the works have proceeded without interrup-
tion up to the present period, the expenditure, for
which this vote was intended to provide, has, to a
considerable extent, been already incurred.

Sir J. Wyatville considers that a sum of 70,0001.
would be requisite to discharge the demands of the
several workmen up to the present time, even if the
work were to be now altogether tuspended.
With reference to the second branch of inquiry,
your Committee required from the architect a de-
tailed statement of the further works which he con-
sidered necessary to complete the building accord•
ing to his original design.
That statement is as follows :--

Nore.---If only 100,000!. of the former estimate
is granted this year, it will leave 28,0004 to be
added to any of the above works which the Com-
miationers may direct.
It comprises nineteen distinct items, each ac-
companied by a separate estimate of its cost,arranged
according to Sir .1. Wyatville's view of their relative
importance, and of the order in which he would
recommend that they should be undertaken. Your
Committee have examined these items seriatim, and
after much deliberation, concur with the Architect
in the opinion which he has expressed, that the
works numbered from dne to fifteen inclusive, are
indispensable to the restoration of the building to a
proper state of durability and splendour. The order
in which the works yet remaining to be executed
are enumerated by the Architect, should not be
considered as precluding a different arrangement by
the Commissioners, but the several particulars may
from time to time be brought forward as the Com-
missioners may deem expedient.
It has been candidly admitted by Sir J. Wyet-
ville that the works specified in the four remaining
items, from 16 to 19 inclusive, are not absolutely
necessary, though they appear to him required for
the completion of the original plan as formed in his
own imagination.
Your Committee are disposed to attach to these
latter works very thfroant dogma of kaMtallo•

The removal of the Dean and Canona4 houses, and
that of those houses which abut west nu the Castle,
are undertakings which, although they might if
carried into effect contribute to the beauty of one
part of the Castle, do not appear to be any war
conducive to the convenience of the King during
his residence in the Castle, nor to promise any other
advantage commensurate with the expenec which
they would necessarily occasion.
On the other hand, it is obvious that some private
Chapel within that part of the Castle which is in-
hsbited by his Majesty, is both a usual and a necessary
addition to a Royal residence ; and although your
Committee cannot approve either of the site suggested
fJr the new Chapel, or the large expenditure pro-
posed by Sir J. ‘Vyatville for it (which has never
been discussed even by the Catrmissioner,); they
nevertheless consider, that in completing the
means should be devised of of to the King, at
a moderate expellee, thisaccommodationin the more
immediate vicinity of the apartments in which his
Majesty may reside, and that a room in some part
of the Castle so situated should be appropriated to
that purpose.
Your Committee also think it necessary to ob-
serve, that the stables now belonging to the Castle
are representesl as being both, incommodious (from
their dispersion in different parts, of the town of
Windsor) and insuffleient for the reception of the
carriages and horses for which provision is occasion.
Ally required.
Before, however, any measure be taken for afford-
ing extended stable accommodation, it will be indis-
pensable that an accurate estimate should be formed
of the expence which it may be necessary to incur
for that purpose; and your Committee are strongly
impressed with an opinion that a sum very far short
of that stated by Sir J. Wyatville will adequately
provide for this object, especially if the atebles are
not erected within the walls, nor within sight of the
principal apartments of the Citric.
Such being the view of your Committee as to the
work which it is proper to undertake or to complete,
their attention hits next been directed to the mode
in which the expence of these works may be most
conveniently defrayed. . . . .

If the !louse should agree in the opinion which
your Committee have expressed, that it is necessary
to complete the works already in progress, and to
undertake those enumerated in the first fifteen items
of Sir J. Wyatville'a estimate; the expense for
which it will lie necessary for Parliament to provide,
will he lig follows:
For the work already in hand I i ;18,900
For new works, from No, I to 15 1.19,000

Making a total of £:!77,000
independent of any expenditure which it may be thought nem.
sary to incur hereafter for a private Chapel, with a the present
limits of the Castle, or for stables.

Your Committee are sensible that with this addi-
tion to what has been already expended, the resto-
ration of Windsor Castle will amount to a very large
stn; but they consider the complete repair of this
ancient and Royal Residence to be an object of
national concern, for which it is essential that Par-
liament should adequately provide; and entertaining
a favourable opinion of the masiner in which the
work has been executed by Sir J. Wyatville, they
are strongly inclined to recommend that, on that
account as well as for the sake of uniformity of cha-
racter and design, it be completed under the same
direction.

Considering how large a portion of the expense
of the present year has been actually incurred, your
Committee cannot recommend any reduction of the
vote which has been proposed to Parliament, because
it could not be reduced without a suspension of the
works in band, and that suspension would necessarily
occasion increased expenditure hereafter.
At the same time your Committee cannot re-
commend the continuance of a grant to the same
extent in any future year. On the contrary, it ap-
pears to them that if 50,000/. were annually ex-
pended, according to the pl.ins and estimates already
referred to, the object of Parliament would be most.
effectually secured, without any unnecessary pressure
upon the resources of the country.
Your Committee having thus executed the task
which the order of reference imposed upon them,
cannot dose their Report without adverting to some
matters which have come before them in the course
of their examination, which may be supposed to
affect the accuracy of the new estimates submitted
to them.

As it appears that the estimates formed at an
eatly period of the undertaking by Sir J. Wyat-
ville, have fallen very far short of the sum which
the execution of the several works required, and this
circumstance may naturally cast a doubt upon the
accuracy of those which have now been produced.
But when your Committee advert to the fact stated
by the architect, that the great proportion of the
work clone has been the repair of buildings, of which
the state could not be ascertained until the work
was in a certain degree advanced, and that the esti-
mates were made without any previous means of
knowing the internal state of the walls, or that of
the timbers, your Committee see no reason to at-
tribute the error of the original estimate to any want
of due precaution on the part of the architect, but
to the nature of the undertaking itself; and, as they
have been assured that due allowance has been made
for all these circumstances in the later estimates,
that he has applied to them the most laborious in-
vestigation, and repeated revision, and that a further
sum has been taken for unseen contingencies ; he
thanks himself justified in relying upon the assurance
he has confidently given to the Committee, that the
works specified in this Report will be completed for
the sums respectively set against them.
Your Committee cannot however refrain from
calling the attention of the Hmise to the course
which has been followed, of expending large sums
of money in anticipation of the Votes of the Howie
Commons.

They submit to the House that such a practice,
impossible perhaps to be ►wholly avoided, and espe-
cially in a work of the description ►which has been
the subject of the present inquiry, is one that ought
to be checked and restrained us much as possible,
by such regulations as may be applicable to this
head of expenditure.
In this view they suggest that in every public
work which, from its extent, may require several
years for completion, before any sum is voted an
account, a statement ought, in the first instance, to
be submitted to the House, showing the whole
estimated charge of such ►work. And they observe,
that with respect to several other works now in
progress, the rule appears to have been of late years
generally observed ; but it appears further desirable
that, in every subsequent year, the estimate for that
year should be accompanied with u statement,
showing, first,-the actual expenditure settled anti
paid. Secondly, the amount of demands outstand-
stending up to the date of suck estimate : also a
specification of the total 41001114 (so fur as the same
can be ascertained) requisite for finishing
such perty
of the ►vork as may be then in progress, and for
the completion of the whole; together ►with a sun►-
mary explanation of 414 circumstance which, in the
progress of the work, may have occasioned any
considerable alteration its or additiou to the original
plan and estimate.

CIIMIDER OF DEPUTIES...-Smisto or Mitt. en. •
The President took the Chair at half•patit one
o'clock, and announced that M. de Lamezan wished
to take the oath.
M. de Lamezan rose anti said—Faithful to Net-
poleon—(Laughter)—till he absolved me from my
oaths, I have not been less faithful to my legitimate
sovereigns. As a Deputy, I respect the determi-
nation of those of my colleagues who have refused
to sit in this Chamber ; but here is our place,.
There may be danger—((?reat interruption. Many.
voices, " What danger ?"—Other voices, "''here
has never been any danger for you who ,hid yottu,

M. Lafitte, in a stem tone—Yes, Gentlemen,
there has been danger; but the danger was only for
those Deputies who cone forward to save the state.
There is no danger for those who take advantage of
the victory, by speaking of anarchy when all is quiet„
and of the interest of their country, when the coon.
try is sneed,—(Cheers )—These ought to take the
oath without any reference to the pate.- They ought
to swear to the Charter,--to the Chatter of
August £3,—to King Louis Philip I. M. Latnezan,
will you take this oath without any reservation or
restrict ion ?
Lantezan, standing up and :lasing fife
" 1 swear it."
M. Alexis de Noailles—l swear it, to preserve my
country from anarchy.--(Murmurs on the left.)
M. Persil—l propose that the oath -be taken
purely and simply, without any restriction. The
oath is a positive and formal net; an oath ought to
Ise taken without explanations or ; we
ought to any yes or no.
The Chamber decided that the oath should be
taken without explanation.
The following Members, in conformity with this
decision, took the oath simply, saying only
swear it,"—,namely, MM. Amat, 0..-Wenghen, tie
14 Rieutiblre, Saint-Martial, tlruile.tnailfe, Arthur de
la Bouttionnaye, de Barite-mow, Vi.count

M. Lenore swear it 'intrelf.and
since you will not admit of any reservation.
The President, with severity -;•Evan this oh-•
nervation is inadmissible. You must pron Ounce
" I swear it," without any restriction.
A Member exclaimed, " M. Lemore had not the
least hesitation in taking the oath when he was trp.
pointed Judge of the Royal Court of Paris."
Another Member added, " There was a salary of
9,000 francs per annum at the tail of the oath."
111. Lemote, retaining his seat, then said,
swear it."
The President—Rise, Sir, rise; the oath must
be taken standing.
M. Lemore, rising With an a'r of discontent, re-
pented, " I swear it."
The President—You must hold up your hand,
Sir.

ic I

M. Lemore did so, and once more pronounced,
" I swear it."
The President read letters ham M. de Martidiach
and M. de Laubricre, 1111Councing the resignation of
their seats, which were referred to the Minister of
the Interior.
The Chamber then proceeded to the Order of
the Day, and opened the discussion of the propos
sition for impeaching the Members of the late Ads
ministration, and the resolution required by the Vote-
mittee,which was lead in the-following terms
" The Chamber authorises the Committee tips
pointed to examine the proposition of M. tie t's'als
vette relative to the impeachment of the Ministers
who signed the ordinances of the 26th of July last,
to exercise all the powers vested in Examining Ma-
gistrates and in the Chambers of Council "
M. Persil---I must decline, toavoid all false inter-
pretation, that I voted for the motion of accusation,
and if this motion of accusation were the only sub-
ject of discussion, I should not hesitate ; but the
Commission in its report has reserved a very grave
question—one %dila itlitiC to make you a judicial
body, and by that would constitute a usurpation of
authority. The Commission prOposes that you
shall confer on it the rights of a judge of 'lnstruc-
tion, who has the power of issuing warrants for pet-
sons and papers (stootdots d'ameacr,),. and to call in
the aid of the public force. This right is not given
to you by any law. The Commission has not been
instituted to proceed to a preparation for. trial, hitt
to examine the motion of M. Busch. Sidverte.
The orator voted against the proposition of the
Commission.
M. 'Phil--The previous speaker has said that the
Chamber, by bestowing an the CoMmission the
powers which it asks, should describe all the powers.
In support of his opinion he cited that article of the
Charter which declares that all justice emanates
from the King ; but the honourable previous
speaker creates a difficulty which does.not exist, and
cermet exist. The Chamber doe* trot judge the
Ministers defluitively ; and when you say that there
are grounds for their accusation, it must be followed
up with proofs and documents ; and to get at these
proofs and documents, it is necessary to invest the
Commission you have nominated with all the powers
necessary to procure them. This right evidently
results from the 15th article of the Charter, which
assns to the Chamber of Deputies the right of ac-
cusing and prosecuting Ministers, and to the
Chambers of Peers to judge them. I support the
proposal of the Commission.
M. Mestadier—l appose the proposal of the
Commission, because it extends our rights in an un-
constitutional manner.
A voice—What susceptibility I
M. Mestadier—Necessity has been spoken of ; it
is .a b,ul argument. Let us first think of colifitirtig
ourselves to the rigorous rule of right. We have a
right to deliver up the Minis:ers to the Chamber of
Peers. But, Gentlemen, 1 ask, how can we ix-
ereise this right ? Let us wait for a law as.. to the
responsibility of Ministers.--(A general laugh.)
M. de Sehonen—Yes, let us wait—; but whilst
we are welting—

sliould hare given up, for iIISMICP, a portion of the
territory, would you become, examining Magistrates,
and act the part of a Chamber of Accusation ?
The Nlinisters are impeached, by the mere fact of
their being arrested. The Chamber of Deputies is
the accuser, the Chamber of Peers is the examining
ISlagistrete and the Chamber of Council is the only
Judge. ihe Hon. Deputy, in support of his argu-
ment, referred to the example of England, and ob-
served, that at by the French Charter the Peers of
France could arsly be arrested in consequettee of an
accusation by. the Chamber of Peers,. the Chamber
of Deputies foued itself shackled and restrained in
its 'sower by one of the Ministers being a Peer of
ssrance. 0 I propose," added he, " that the Com-
mittee, being invested with a political power, should
have the power of making itself aerie:voted with the
subject, it it be not already so : I wish that th's
part should be prudently limited. It is not my de.
sire OW it should degenerate into a Committee of
luquiry."
M. Dupin, sem—This is a very serious questions
and one on which. the Chamber ought not to come
to a hasty conclusion. It not only concerns the
tights of accusers, but involves eh) that of the sc-
ented. But the principal question here is one of
pure policy. It has been said that there is no law
upon the responsibility of Ministers ; hut bee use
there is no express law, must welemein withont the
power of proceeding to judgmeot ? We may escape
from this difficulty by the power of facts. if there
be no law upon the respoesibility of Ministers, the
Ministers are certainly the last persons, who have a
right to complain, since, though they have annually
for 15 years promised to introdece such a law, they
have never kept their word. Accusation and judg-
ment are two distinct things; but for both it is
equally necessary to be in 'pOssessiOn of facts. We
hove been told that we are sulliCiently iuformed as
to facts in this casess-that they are notorious :
it, the judgments that are formed by popular cht-
mond The Chatnber ought to decide upon the
accusation according to its o know), dge of facts,
submitting to a renewal of the exeminution by the
Peers, if they conceive they have not sufficient evi-
deuce before them upon which they cum proceed to
judgmeta. Have we sic glaring and positive facts
in the events of the 27th, 2801, and 29th of July I'
Whet witnesses therefore need we to call before us?
Are we ourselves to be individually examined ?
Are we to call before us the whole population of
Paris ? We have no want of proof—the best evi-
dence is to be found printed in the Monitcur. To
come to a conclusion, 1 am of opinion that the ques-
tion ought to be Pitt thus :—" Are the apparent facts
sufficient to warrant our declaring that there are
grounds for impeachment ?"
111, Elmira Sulverte—The resolution which your
commission has presented to you has been attacked
by several orators. These orators raster} you the
right of delegating to your commission the powers
which it eaks from you. Co that, one speaker has
already replied unanswerably, that if you cannot de-
legate those rights, the power of accusution is
illusory. I will add to Isis arguments, that, in the
terms of the penal code, the right of instituting a
process against an offence or crime belongs to him
who is charged with prosecuting it. But does net
the soleauthority of prosecuting Ministers rest with
the Chamber of Deputies ? But, said another
speaker, this inquiry is useless—the facts ere pal-
yolk. I do not think we can accuse' without call-
tag the accused, The powers asked of you are
therefore useful, far you cannot accumi any person
in his absence. Let us say that the facts are pal-
pable. Cannot a Minister say to you,—" You accuse
me for having signed the. Ordinances ; but I did
not sign them, my signature is a forgery ?" (Alt I
ah 1 from ell pasts.)—The Ministers ought then to
institute an interrogatory. One speaker has ad,
vetted to public notoriety. The Chamber cannot
carry on a charge founded on public notoriety : but
should weigh it in its conscience, after having heard
the accused. It has beets said, that it does not tic-
cord with the dignity of the Chamber to give such
powers to the commissioe, but is it not in confors
salty with the dignity of the Chamber to decide on
such a question with all 'disc conaideration ? A
speaker leis cited the example of the Chamber of
Peers in Englend. But the peerage of England is
anterior to the monarchy, it should not be compared
to ours, which emanates from the King. The same
orator also reminds use of the English statutes, but
who does trot know that England is in this respect
rt country of customs, and that its statutes are fre-
quently contradictory ? But with us the Charter is
positive; it says, that Peers ihalljudge, and that
the Chamber of Deputies shall prosecute. It has
been proposed to the Chamber only to give to the
Commission the right of (Mining a sort of complaint,
which it shall be charged with carrying to the
Chamber of Peers. If you adopt this measure, it
will result that we siltell otily be petitioners when
the Charter gives us the right to accuse and deliver
up. On these grounde, Y think that if you do not
delegate to your Commission powers sufficient,
.you
wilt render illusory, end of iso effect, the right given
you by the Charter.
M. Manguin—Proofs are not wanting to accuse,
I know. The blood of our fellow-citizens still
reeks in the streets of Paris. The main facts ere
too evident to require Ivey other proofs than the
Ordinance of July 25, But two matter, of neces-
sity weigh upon the commission and the Chamber
The first is, to regulate due arrest of the late Mini-
sters; the second is, to proceed to their interroga-
tory. In the vast excitement which has just been
caused, a political measure authorised the arrest at

The President Will proceeding to state the terms
of the question, but, after ringing his bell several
dines, he was interrupted by Deputies talking in
groups near the Minkterial bench. lie said, "It
is impossible to keep order if these eternal conver-
sations be carried on at the Ministerial beneh."—

(Loud htughter.)—The Deputies then took their
places.
The President..--The following is the article as
proposed by the committee
" The Chamber authorizes the committee ap-
pointed to examine the I►roposition of M. Salverte,
relative to the seeeauettinn of the Ministers who
signed the ortlittancot of the 25th of July last, to
exercise all the powers belonging to instructing
judges sod council chambers."
Villernain moved to confine the power of the
committee to the issuing of mere writs of summons,
with regard either to witnesses or persons accused.
This amendment was rejected after some debate.
The President then put the question as above
stated, and a division took place by rising and sit-
ting. The tWo lefts, excepting about fifteen of the
centre left, Voted flr the affirmative; these fifteen,
the (Tittle right, and the right, voted in the *lege-
tiec. The division appeared doubtful, and a second
having taken place, the question taus declared to be
Carried.

'l'l►e ticcision produced marks of surprise, and the
j:illot was called for by many voices.

The Pre►i'ent referred to the orders of the Chum-
ber, article 32, according to which the ballot is not
obligatory, except for law projects. On other (pee-
tions the Chamber 'mist decide whether there is to
be a ballot or not.

The b,illot wits still celled for by one party, chiefly
:hose of the right, while the other side contended
the time for it wits peter, es, according to the

. _
orders, it should have be6n required before the Pre.
sident had decided.

, Mr. Jacques Lefebvre—We are no longer in those
times in which there wAs reason to fear the manifes-
tation of the real opinion of this Chamber. It would
be a thing much to be regretted, were it to be sus-
pected that the decision of the Chamber had not
been rightly declared.
M.•Bourdeax—The Chamber will permit me to
remind it of a very remarkable incident:--In 1816,
the law on the organization •of accounts was pre-
tented by the Keeper of the Seals, then M. de Barbel
Marbois.. The law was adopted after a division, by
sitting anti rising, by a great majority; but on the
secret ballot it was rejected by an equally great ma-
jority.—( Laughter,) •
Several voices.—That was the aware iutrou-
vablel

- -
After some further diteussion, the ballot wus► or-
dered to take place.
Number of voters 279; white ball+, 186 ; black
balls, 9:3. _ . .

Tile article as proposed by the Committee was
then adopted.
This remarkable majority, after the show by rit,ing
and sitting had in two instances appeared somewhat
doubtful, excited general astonishment. Applause
was heard among the people in the public galleries.
(From the Messver des Chandirts of Saturday.)

Some persons, whose private connections enable
them to be well informed on the subject, state, as
a fact of which they are certain, that M. Guernon
de Renville has not been arrested at Tours, as was
reported.
General Pepe was in the Netherlands when
our glorious revolution broke out. They refused
him passports. for France, The passports which
M. Lafayette hastened to forward to him did not
find him any longer in Belgium. Dr. Lusardi, an
eminent oculist, and fellow-countryman of General
Pepe, undertook to bring him hither. lie made. him
get into his carriage, and accompanied him thus as
far as Paris with the most disinterested devotion. •
Letters from Calaisstute that the Spanish General
Mina, and two of his friends,. were to pass through
that town in two or three days on their way from
London.
• The Proclarnatioo of the Duke of Orleans, as
King of the French, was received with enthusiasm
in the south as well as in the north of France.

Letters which arrive to us from different parts, but

which, from the space necessarily devoted to the
interesting proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies,
we are unable to insert, leave no doubt in that respect.

ARREST OF M. DE POLIONAC.

SAINT.IO, AV(. 17.
The Marchioness do St. Vargeau arrived et the

house of Piquenard, the principal innkeeper at Gren-
ville, and dining the 15th instant she was seen to
go three tittles into a low cabinet and speak to a man
dressed badly enough, but whose manners possessed
too much ease for a livery servant, such as he up-
peered to be. The suspicions of some men of the

Nutional Guard were ixeited at the eireumetunee.

One of them demanded of the stranger who he watt,
and presenting a pistol at him, forced him to sit down.
M. de Polignac at first wished to deny the right
of the person to question him, but he was compelled
to explain ; and he said that he was the servant of
the Marquis de Sr. Fargeau, who sent him to ae-
eompany his wife to Englund. M. Polignae was
asked by what route he came. Ile nnsweied that
he travelled en poste with the Marchioness from
Caen; that he hadlmen but a few days in the Mar-
quis's service, &e.
The Mtochioness, on being questioned in her
turn, gave a different account, both of the length of
time be had beetthereervent' end of the place from
which she had come.' It ended in Prince Polignec's
being committed to prison, at ten o'clock, on the
night that he wee arrested.
Yesterday morning he wan conducted before the
Mayor, when, after some minutes spent in biter-
roving, he requested to speak to the Mayor in
private. In his conversation he stipulated for per-
mai protection, and admitted himself to be Ponce
Jules de Polignac. •
Preparations were instantly made to hand him
over to the Departmental Commission. Ile was
placed with the Marchioness in a diligence, and
escorted by from 20 to 30 of the National Guards
towards St. Le. They posed through Coutances
with infinite difficulty: the people wished to see
Polignac, awl but for the Mayor and some of the
(gendarmes, the -Maims! Guards might, perhaps,
not be left nesters of their prisoner. At one league
a half from St. 'LEN the diligence halted, and

the Prince partook of a hearty repast.
Between three and four o'clock in the afternoon,
the diligence arrived at St. 1.0, and the Prince was
conducted to the Prefecture, where he was fully re-
cognized by many persons, although his outward ap-
pearance was that of a mendicant.
After long examination, he was transferred, un-
der a strong escort, from the Prefecture to the prison.
If the distance had been long, the military force
could not have preserved him in their custody. A
crowd of workmen and enraged women threw
themselves on the ranks, and cried out, "
pende ! a la Alai/ohne! c'esl lui qui a fait brukr
not maisons." The Ex-Minister was pale and

BARCELONA, AUG. 11.

The news from Paris has given a great impulse to
public spirit in our town, and much more so to the
persons that dwell on our sea coast, who are already
in a state of ferment. Since the arrival of this news
all our authorities—military, civil, and ecclesiastic
—are in constant deliberation, and they have rein-
forced the garrisons of our citadel, of Asturazlnas,
and of the fortress of Montjui.
The military chiefs had, at first, the bitention to
command that domiciliar visits should be made, and
that all our arms should be taken away from us;
but it afterwards oecar►ed to them that this measure
might be a signal for general explosion, such hi that
of Paris, and they accordingly changed their minds.

ILIMFONSO, AUG. 9.

At this moment all the Ministers assembled at
the Royal residence are holding a Council, under
presidency of the King.
The Queen is exceedingly afflicted by the events
iu France. We observed that the King displays a
perfect tranquillity.
It is a positive fact, that when the King had
fiNished reading the memorable ordinances of his
Uncle, Charles X., he flung them with psssion on
his bureaux, saying, that they were capable of dis-
turbing the tranquillity of all Europe.

(From Galignam's Illessenger.)
PARIS, AUG. 21.

The Temps of this morning says :—" We multi--
stand that the Council of Ministers have decided
upon applying to the Chambers for a grant. of
t 10,000,000, to afford assistance to commerce. The
embarrassment of the mercantile interest at Paris is
occasioned chiefly by the difficulty of discounting
bills—a difficulty the causes of which are well known.
It proceeds from the disappearance of capital occa-
castoned by the recent critical circumstances, and
from the insufficiency of the uid afforded to Com-
merce by the Bank of. France. A loan, therefore,
is to he made in order to facilitate discounts ; public
credit is to be employed to support the credit of in-
dividuals. This is a good and useful measure; it
will be supported by public opinion ; and the
Chamber should not hesitate to adopt it, but even
a+►oulti do more if necessary."
M. de Montbel, it appears, has not been arrested.
The person who was apprehended at Granville, on
being takett to St. LO, was identified as quite a
different person, and immediately discharged.

M. Polter, M. Thielmans, acid M. Bartels, three
of the Belgian exiles, have arrived at Paris; the
fourth, M. Neve, is detained at Strasburg!) by in-
disposition. _ _

At the moment when the fallen Royal Family
embarked at Cherbourg, and bade adieu for ever to
France, which has expelled them, several eminent
personages of the fugitive Court, in expressing the
sympathy they felt in the misfortunes of Charles,
said that if any thing consoled them, it was to think
that the Dauphin .vould one day govern France.
These words confirm all that has been said upon the
foolish obstinacy and senseless resentment of the
ex-presumptive heir.— to Temps.
The following is an extract of a private letter of
the 15th instant, from Toulon :—" The Echo sloop
of war has arrived here from Algiers, which she
left on the 10th, with despatches for the Govern-
ment, which have been sent off for Paris by express.
The private letters which she brings have no: yet
been distributed. It is stated, however, that the.
Diligenle sloop, which left Toulon on the 6th, for
the purpose of announcing to the African and Levant
squadrons the changes that have taken place in
France, arrived at Algiers on the 9th instant. Ad-
miral Depart; immediately hoisted the tri-coloured
flag upon every vessel, but General de Bourmont
refused to strike the white flag, which waves over
all the public edifices and forts of the town. It is.
added that all Communication between the fleet and
the army is suspended. • The Government seems at
last to have directed its attention to the African ex-
pedition; it was reported yesterday that the division
of reserve, had received orders to embark imme-.
diet ely. -The necessity of leaving a strong garrison
at Algiers, and in the principal maritime towns
lot the Regency, renders this reinforcement indi-
spensible, especially if the war should continue with
the Kabyles, who massacre our soldiers even within
half a league of Algiers. All the vetsels armed
cu flute are to be put upon a war footing."-
Extract of a private letter of the 7th inst. from
Lisbon :—" We have received by the last packet
from ,London. important intelligence relative to the
mission with which the Marquis de S. Aniaro is
invested by Don Pedro. By the mariner in which
Mr. Mackenzie, the English Consul, speaks of thiS
mission, it is natural. to infer that the British Go-
vernment approves the following basis of an arrange-
meet between the two brothers Don Miguel
shall be .aeknowledged by Don Pedro as Sovereign
of Portugal. 2. Portugal shall enter into an engage-
ment to pay the luau of 20,000,000 of crusadoes
which Kiug John contracted at London in and
for which Braz'l had becoMe responsible by the treaty
which acknowledged her independence. Portugal
shall likewise pay the debt contracted for the main-
tenance of the garrison of the island of Terceira, and
of the Portuguese refugees. 3. The marriage be-
tween Donna Maria and Don Miguel shall be con-
eluded as soon as the latter shall have granted a
general amnesty, and an indemnity to all the Portu-
gueie who have joined the Constitutional party."
The Luxembourg Journal says, that " the policy
as Well us the personal sentimeres of the King of
Prussia will induce him to observe a strict neutrality
under existing eireumstauces; nor will he suppress
u free expression of the pubic opinion upon the
events in France; but he does not make it appear
that he has come to any decision as to issuing a decla-
ration of the opinions of his Goverement, nor its to his
conduct towards the new Government of France."

The following is an extract of a letter of the 18th
instant from Itheime During several successive'
days papers had been posted up on the pedestal of
the cross of the mission,giving notice that it would
be thrown down and destroyed. At length, on the
lath, about seven in the evening, a great crowd as—
sembled at Mount Calvary, and, after raising the
cross two-thirds out of the socket, fastened it long
rope to it, and hurled it to the ground amidst reite-
rated acclamations. They then sepereted the figure
of Christ from it, which they bore in triumph into
the town, shouting, Viva la Charge/ ap bait la
Catolte !' They then proceeded to the gates of
the Archbishop's palace, which they forced. The
Mayor, however, arrived with the &detest Guards
in time to prevent them penetrating into the hitter
court, end at length prevailed upon them to retire."

We are assured that 33 Commissioners of Police,

functions.

A great many families still have relatives abroad.

The. Chamber of 1815 passed a law, banishing the
members of the Convention who had thought it
their duty to give a severe but conscientious vote on
the trial' of Louis XVI. Since that time, several
courageous patriots having attempted generous en-
terprises to. deliver the country from the yoke which
oppressed it, were brought to trial and condemned.
Some were fortunate enough to escape, by emigrat-
ing, the pemsliments .pronounced against them. It
is affirmed that the Minister of Justice Will lay be.
fore the Council to-morrow a project of law revoking
the law of 12th January, 1810, and the condemna-
tions for political offences since the restoration. If,
therefore, as we make no doubt, M. Dupont de
More should find in the Council' a feeling favour-
able to this act of reparation and justice, France
will, in a short time, nor long have to deplore the
forced absence of the citizens who have devoted
them elves for her welfare.

The Chamber of Peera will meet to-clay at two
o'clock.

ALGIERS, AUG. 2.
(FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.)

The following are some particulars of the con-
spiracy which has just been discovered here.
" The posts plaCed at the gates of Algiers bad,
for seine time paq, obierved mules 'mien with filth,
and .driven by A.:gerines, pass out of the city. Our
people took it into their heads to examine some of
them, and found a great quantity of ammunition,
which they were taking to the Arab=, to arm them.
The news of this discovery -was immediately ',read..
and about fifty French, who were > ctttered in
Algiers, were cruelly massacred. The whole garri-
son was immediately under arms; a good many of
the infamous conspirators were arrested, and happily
among them were the principal chiefs. They were
all Turks, and orders have been given to make an
immediate and rigorous search for all of that nation
lamenting here. This search has placed in our
bands 2,000 Turks, who will be sent without loss of
time to Smyrna, on board some frigates. One has
already, sailed, and we hope that this measure will
rest ore tranquillity.. _

" An Am-erica; frigate arrived ye•terday, and in-
stantly placed itself between. the Provence and the
Breslau, without saluting the French flag. The
American Captain put out a boat to go on shore,
but Admiral Duperui immediately armed a boat,
which put itself in the way of the American. The
officer in the boat asked the reason of this conduct,
saying, he was in a free city. Lieutenant re-
plied, that us the French flag was flying on. Algiers,
he ought to submit to the laws and regulations of
the conqueror, and that Admiral Durerre would let
him know what they were. The American boat
returned on board. The Captain of the frigate
waited on Admiral Duperro, untl every thing was, I
believe, arranged.

" Just as lam going to close my letter, the Echo
corvette is arrived from Bons, with the news that
that town has received a French garrison."

ST. PETERSBURGII, JULY 10.
(A PRIVATE LETTER.)
You know that the Emperor Nicholas is a man
of a firm and vigorous character, and, as I have said
before, liable to tall into either extreme. Happily,
whether from conviction or policy, lie seems to look
favourably on the cause of the people, and seems to
aim at directing the world on moral principles, us
was the intention of the immortal Canning. The
obstacles which the Russian Autocrat may meet in
keeping himself at the head of the general
do not seem to discourage him. In spite of the
murmurs of the Aristocracy, he liti* mused a report
to be spread, that after
.Os return from Poland a new
Code would be priblishelt, one of the first articles of
which Should declare all debtors, without distinction
of rank, liable to personal arresit.—(litherto the
Nobility have set themselves above the laws, and
dal not pay unless voluntarily.)
Another article is said to abolish civil distinctions,
declining persons of merit eligible to all offices.
Lastly, from the ilny of the promulgation of the
future decree, no persons shall be born slaves in
Russia. (This would be a mortal blow to the de.
spotism of the Lords.) It is said that the Code con.:
taining these enuetments has been secretly drawn up
by the most able men here, who are almost all of
them of the (hit(' estate, and they have been
allowed to make use of all the papers found in the
possession of the Liberal conspirators, who were
hied six years ago.

FRENCH. REVOLUTION.

PUBLIC MEETING AT EDINBURGH.

(Abridged from the Edinburgh Evening aurora.)
On Friday a very numerous and highly respectable
meeting of the citizens of Edinburgh was held in Steven-
ton's Rooms, Regent-bridge, pursuant to a requisition
" To consider the propriety of their expressing their ad-
miration of the energy and promptitude with which the
French people have lately resisted the violation of their
public rights, and the moderation with which they hove
hitherto used the sudden and unexampled triumph by
which their patriotism has been rewarded." The door of
the great room was Opened about twelve o'clock, and in
a short period the apartment %as crowded in every port—
end among the auditory were a number of ladies.
At one o'clock, the Lord Provost, attended by Mr.
flume, the Member fur Middlesex,. the Dean of Faculty,
Air. Cockburn, and other requisitionists, ascended the plat-
form, and were received with the most enthusiastic cheering.

Mr. GIBSON CRAIG moved that the Right llore the
Lard Provost be requested to take the Chair.--(Cheers.)
The Loan Noma said, before taking the chair, I con-
sider myself called upon to say a few words, though not as
an apology for appearieg here among you, but only in so
far as it might be necessary to state some reason, as h
were, out of doors, to those parties who may not know
the motive that brought me here. If I bed considered
that this meeting was called for any factious or improper
purpose, I would have been the last man to have called
such a meek:, or lent myself in any shape to it ; but on
looking over the list of the requisitionists, I immediately
saw that there was no party feeling existing—they con-
Rioted of men of all parties, of all classes, anti like myself,
actuated by no factious spirit whatever.—(Applause.)—
I 4111 convinced that the meeting will be managed so as to
prove that we are only actuated by a feeling which all may
proudly folio* and proudly avow.—(Cheers.)
The DEAN of FACULTY... (Mr. Francis Jeffrey)—l
take it for granted, as we have heard from our Hon. Chair-
man, that we are all agreed, and that on the subject
on which we are met, one feeling pervades the country at
large. It may be asked, then, why we have been callvd
together on suet an occasion, anti for what purpose we are
.taken from ether pleasurable or important occupations on
such a hot day, and called to hear repeated aloud, and in
public, that which we have all assisted in stating awl
concurred in thinking and feeling at home? This is a
question which it is easier to ask than to answer. The brut
answer I can make is, that we could not help it,--that the
feelings by which we are poreosett, were of that degree of
intensity, of that inspiring majesty--nay farther, of that
unprecedented novelty, that they ought not to be confined
to fireside discussions—or to the congratulation of shaking
of hands in our private- circles.—(Cheers.)—A public
event, unprecedented In the annals- of the world, unsure
passed and unequalled for the good which it promises, not
only for the flattering views which it holds out of human
nature, but especially as an example of those generous and
severer virtues to which that brave nation, which has
achieved the late glorious triumph over despotism, have
hitherto been supposed to have had but slender preten-
ehms. It was fitting that on an event on which men have
been triumphing with words, exultation*, and congtatula-
duns in private, they should now have the happiness' of
meeting together to give vent to their feelings in public,
and to assure each other by their voices, their countenance,
their eyes, and their feeling., that they participate in one
common Soy, one common hope, one common prin-
ciple, by which men of all ranks, orders, and con.
Aitions, are united on this happy and unprecedented
occasion.---(Great applause.)—lhat I believe is the lead.
jug and the first realm which induced us to call together
the present meeting; and it is ultimately the best and only
apology we can offer to those to whom any apology is na-
-1 eessary. There is another motive of a graver and higher
too much weight to the sentiments

without
heroic
reason to justify our congregating
on this occasion, was

the,prospect which the event beta out of good, not only to
ourselves but to all mankind. The late revolution is the
termination of those lamentable and painful struggles,
which have existed over most part of the *arid, and may
yet to a certain extent prevail, between obsolete prejudice.,
and preposterous and degrading pretensions on the one
hand, and nn some occasions the too just fear of revolt,
disobedience, and insubordination on the other. The
happy reconcidation of those two opposite principles was
effected in the miraculously short space of three days,
and gave hope and assurance that the minds of men in
the most irritable and excitable nature have at last
learned the lesson that mutual concession can alone ren-
der a people happy and respectable; and by that the
dignity of the throne will be upheld, and serve as a
protection to the rights of the people to which it has
hitherto been too generally opposed.--(Loud cheering.)—
It is impossible to look at the event thus gloriously and
happily concluded without feeling that it was aided by the
provident coincidence of happy circumstances. Its gio
rious termination has been, that a Prince and his Minie-
terms capable of the atrocious violation of pledges they bad
given, of the oaths which they had sworn, and of the
rights which, without pledge and seithout oathe they
were bound by common duty and common humanity to
ohwerve—(Great applause)—that a Prince and his Mi-
nisters should have been so flagrantly in the wrung, by
such an atrocious and unprovoked aggression—an verse-
sion for which there was no pretence by any movement ()-
appearance of movement, against authority—by any plet,
or rumour of a plot, against the legal succession—by any ap-
pearance, or even any tendency to insurreetion or tumul-
tuery mien-tent in the capital, which is seldom altog ther
Ito of such movements. There was no talk of Nap .:eon ;
te) hankering after the glories of his conquests; no men
lion of a Republic.; no desire of revolutionizing each
other's interests ; no resistance to the course of the oral.
nary tribunals of justice ; the excesses of the Press wsre
left to be vindicated where they were proved by the suffi-
cient coercion of the appointed tribunals quietly exercised.
They were going on in that state of things which prontimed
to he beneficial to the Sovereign, by increasing his lawful
authority. Persons were appointed Ministers who wire
decidedly unpopular—but not a murmur was r .is against
the authority by which they Lal been named, which
might produce an effort dangerous to the legitimate suc-
cession of the infatuated Monarch, whose line formed
perpetual series of Sovereigns to generations of fire
people. It was in these circumstances that an attempt
WAR made to restore absolute and bigotted tyranny--
to put an end to laws and to rights, and to break
that solemn compact by which the Government was raised
to the highest point of monarchial adaptation. Previeut
to those steps, preparations were made, by the accunatibe.
tion of a large military force in the capital, which was
disunited, unsuspecting, without arms, and apparently
incapable of making resistance;—batteries of cannon were
raised in the heart of the city ; foreign legions were
marched in ; troops were nelecte.l, officered by those men
who were understood to be most devoted to the Royalist
party it—all this had taken place, and was followed by the
flight of the monarch from the scene of hazard, though he
was within hearing of the roar of the cannon and the
shouts of his myrmidons, who were inflicting slaughter on
the people,—(Long continued cheering.)—lt was to be
looked upon as a happy circumstance, that this conflict
which thus arose and so gloriously terminated, proceeded
clearly from an act of aggression on the part of the wove •
reign, while it was an act of mere resistance in self-de-
fence on the part of the subject,—(Cheers.)—There was
not a voice raised, there was not an arm lifted in defence
of those infatuated errors, although in the result they het-
ter deserved the names of atrocious crinees—by whieh
this revolution was necessitated. In the next palace, it
was impossible to look without gratitude to that over-
ruling Providence, by which, in this unexpected enter-
gency, France was directed to, and found at once a
Prince of the condition, character, history, habits, and
principles of the Monarch who now sways the sceptre in
that country ;--ti Prince of the blood so near as to sa
tisfy all natural and reasonable objections on the claims
of legitimacy ; connected with the revelation, and too
nearly connected by blood with some of its worst actors;
schooled for a long period in adversity, and who bore
the restoration to his fortunes with moderation ; who
had led such an unambitious life ; who bad all along
been spoken of in such a way as proved beyond a
doubt that lie had not taken any part in plot, or Cabals
which would have elevated him to the throne; that
there was no dissimulation in his political principle.,
and whose age, situation, and habits, which were direct,
plain, and simple, gave assurance that he was qualifimd
in an eminent and conspicuous manner to be the first le-
gitimate sovereign under a free and limited monarchy.—
(Cheers. )..—ln the last and highest place of those providen-
tial circumstences, and singular felicity which attended
this revolution, must be placed the extraordinary and
noble magnanimity—the moderation, firmness, amid cou-
rage, by which they first achieved and afterwards en-
joyed and confirmed their victory.—(Great cheering. )
It is impossible to look upon the story of those tour event-
ful days without feelings of exultation and pride at the
capacity of human nature, which is seldom to be seen to
advantage in large muses of mankind, though here was
displayed in the haunts of a dissolute and corrupt capital
the triumph of the severer and nobler virtues. Here
was the spectacle of a great people totally unprepared,
driven by unfortunate events to assume a formidable attie
tude, scattered and disunited, without bead or leader,
without notice or expectation of the blow which was
aimed at them; with invincible and magnificent resolu-
tion, each brooding for one night over the part be had
to play on the tnorrow—consulting with his own heroic
breast on the means of rallying in the morning with
calm, fixed, And magnanimous resolution—calculating
upon nothing but the sympathy and unity of senti-
ments among his fellow-citizens—with slow, deliberate,
and majestic movements, which could not have been
surpassed holm moat consummate masters of the art of
war, he assumed those meant' of defence lay which be
was most likely to gain his object. In that situation
they were overwhelmed in the first shock—mowed down
by the cannon, which the incomparable atrocity of their
opponents actually levelled at time crowded streets and
lofty buildings of that proud capital; they were ridden
down by cavalry—assailed by men eased in armour ; but
they soon rallied ; they tore imp the streets for bulwarks...
they covered every roofe—filled every window and every
terrace, and fought at every corner, till, by the heroic and
persevering resistance of that eventful night, the discipline
anti valour of the finest troops in Europe were baffled and
discomfited. This assembly presented a noble spectacle—
of youth and children—of women animated by heroic
valour, and rising above the feelings of their sex. This
was not a mere military conquest—it was a moral and
nobler victory. The soldiers, actuated by feelings of
military duty, and most of them ignorant of the cause,
were shamed out of resistance, they sulkily refused to act
against the people.--threw down their arms, and giving
way to their nobler feelings, fell with sobs and tears into
the embraces and received the congratulations of friends
and
,fellow citizens.--(Long and continued cheering.)—
This is the scene on which I feel that even repetition and
idle words may be borne with indulgence. The whole
glory, the .whola' benefit, the whole use of this spectacle
would be lost if it were not contrasted with the opposite
spectacle which similar struggles produced in the earlier
stages of the revolutionary movements. I say. that no
spectacle has ever been presented by human ,anineee....ne
scene of the fabulous ages was half so renteekable as the
contrast between Paris in 1790 and Paris in 1930. Then
we all know what insane visions fleeted in the heads of
those who counselled the mermen of the revolution ;
what atrocious crimes sullied time hands, hearts, and names
of those who executed those counsels; then every thing
venerable; every thing established, every thing sacred,
human as well as divine ; every thing that had commanded
the respect of wise-and thinking men through a succession
of ages, were trampled under foot. Religion was dis-
claimed and ridiculed—all dignities were overthrown—all
that was attained by learning, elegance, and superior ac-
complishment., was levelled in one miserable and melan-
choly chaos..—(Cheers.)—That triumph was effected by a
series of utter abominations, which human nature shudders
to look back upon, and which even at this day appears in-
credible to have happened in any civilized state or Christian
land.—(Applause.)—Then no quarter was given, and none
was required. The most slender pretences were made
use of to justify the slaughter of those who were of the
same kindred and speech, but only suspected to be de-
fenders of the ancient Royalty; women and children, ladies
of rank, of delicate manners, of unimpeachable virtue, be.

dTthe those who

preceded them had assisted in supplying its fountains. I
will mention one fact :—lt is on record that all the por-
ter* who waited at the hotels in Paris were massacred in-
discriminately, because they were called by the usage of.
the capital Swiss; and the reason for this was, that the
Swiss Guards resisted when they were attacked. Whereas
in 1830 there was no example during the three days of
excitement of either scan or boy having asked quarter,
and been refused, while on the latter occasion the Swiss
were aggressors, anti repeatedly fired upon the populace.
But the consummation of all was to look at the exit of
Charles X. and Laois XVI. To centrist the total fOr-

which shed even a higher glory on the people than all
