It is extremely difficult to convey to you, with any con
fidence of strict accuracy, a just idea of the state of parties
at this moment in France. They are in the highest and
most excited state of activity ; but the movement is one of
intrigue, and its fimits not at this instant sufficiently ripe
for development to justify any safe calculation of main re
sults. Just enough, however, is disclosed to show that
general disquietude prevails. People are becoming tired of
uncertainty; and of the irritating action of petty factions
over nearly the whole surface of France. Of late trees of
liberty have been the insignia raised by bodies of people.
and chiefly in the large towns of the south, and I am in•
formed, by a letter received this day from Marseilles, that
the authorities had there great difficulty in preventing the
public erection of such a trophy ; but that if the people
had persevered, there was no doubt they must have suc-
ceeded in their project.
All the political parties are in the field, struggling for
supremacy at the 'elections, and as the whole of the Re-
publican and the .Carlist party of the provinces will throw
their weight into the oppOsition to a Ministry avowing a
pacific policy, the leading partisans in Paris are, by the
press and by active emissaries, straining every nerve to
organize a party in the new Chamber, which, if not directly
strong 'enough to defeat the present Government, will, as
they expect at least, have power to clog and embarrass the
,business of the state, and keep alive among the people that
ferment which mustt-e-ientually compromise the peace os.
the world. From the beat information that lam able to
obtain, this violent spirit is obtaining more advocates in
the provinces than the Government at first contemplated
it was likely to find : hence new efforts of the Ministry—
an incessant telegraphic series of fresh instructions, in
which all the motives usually regulating human actions are
enlisted, to secure a triumph for the party in power.
Any where out of this mercurial country it would
astonish an observer to find that a party, comparatively
small in numbers in the capital, could strain and press
the physical resources of a great nation, and almost
direct it at their will. The commercial and trading
population, speaking of them as a body, are universally
for peace. 'Fite young population of students—the lite-
rary classes generally (a large and influential number
here)—and the lower classes to a very great extent, are
for a war for Poland—for Belgium—in fact, for any thing,
or any body. They want to feed an ardent passion,
which they insist upon denominating a principle. France
is nothing in their eyes, unless she is the universal medi-
stress of the political destinies of other states. When she
is not in this position, " her rights are attacked, her
glorious revo'ution is compromised." This is the language
which you hear in the streets, and in the coteries, and
every thing will be lost next year unless in this year her
bayonets are crossed. In fact, France presents the singu-
lar spectacle, at this moment, of a nation undoubtedly
brave, which wishes to he valiant through fear. There
is no time to be allowed to the development of principles,
or to the certain reform in the political institutions of the
continent, which the ominous influence of signal events
cannot fail to impress upon rulers. Excitement and pas-
sion are to supply the place of deliberation and reason in
the councils of nations, and the splendid exception which
an event like that of July exhibited to France in her po-
litical action, is to be made the ordinary ingredient of
policy in her intercourse with other states.
M. Lafitte is again looked forward to, as the successor
of M. Casimir Perier ; already a corps of the National
Guards wished to make M. Lafitte their Colonel, but he
has refused ; he was not a month in power when the
people, who now press for his re-acceptance of office, ob-
jected to his political capacity : still such are the whims
of party here.
What, however, gives an indication of instability in the
present Administration, more strongly titan any overt act
of the party of the " movement," is the fact which I hap-
pen to know, that within the last three days M. Casimir
Perier himself has been sounding some persons of in-
fluence as to the degree of co-operation which they were
prepared to afford to the present Government; he even
went so far as to give strong hints of a readiness to give
high place to men who were supposed to possess the con-
fidence of strong parties. General Clause! might, I be-
lieve, have had Marshal Soult's place, as Minister of War,
if he adopted the King's policy of endeavouring by tempo-
rizing means to calm the impatience 4,f the people. An offer
was hinted, likewise, that there would be no objection
to exchange General Sebaatiani for another foreign Mi-
nister ; a better and firmer one might easily be
found ; he is always vacillating and juggling, and

tive strength. The Duke of Broglie would make an able
Minister in tranquil times, hut he wants energy and de-
cision for a crisis; in fact, the soundings, for they were
nothing else, to augment the strength of the Ministry,
have this week entirely failed, and the determination of the
Premier is to meet the Chambers. Upon the question of
the hereditary Peerage the Minister always asked the opi-
nion of the persons with whom he was conversing but
carefully withheld his own. He, however, appeared to
attach less importance to it, from his manner of speaking,
than to the main and vital spirit which the policy of
France ought at present to assume. His own view was,
he avowed, that the continuance of peace was yet prac-
ticable. His opinion was likewise participated in by
those who &dined to join his Administration, but they
differed as to the means : he saw the practicability through
the instrumentality of the Congress

tell me what family Dick Maddigan has ? Toby
Delahunty—By my son'! I don't exactly know, but
sure it's easy to calculate. Jenny Maddigan is mar-
ried now seven years last Patrick's Day, and of
course she had a gorsoon or a little girl every nine
or ten months ; but, supposing you even allow a year
between each of them, that makes seven children,
so that you may safely put down seven at the lowest
calculation.
Process•server —Faith, Toby, I'm obliged to you.
That's seven, and the father and mother make nine.
That will do. [Writes it do. n and walks off.—
Delahunty calls after the Process-server.]
T. Delahunty— Hollo l by gor, I was near for-
getting—now I recollect—l think I heard somebody
saying it was twins JennyMaddigan had the last time.

makes eight children instead of seven ?
Toby Delahunty—ln troth it does, nine if you

accept than encounter.
Whilst Paris is at this moment the focus of this spirit
of party, the provinces are responding with clubs and par-
tial commotions. The King is endeavouring to allay
provincial agitation, and invite popular affection, by ex-
hibiting himself everywhere, and condescending to beg
every kind of local homage. As he moves with a splendid
and gets up a show as he passes, the people are
for the
hour mostly tickled and pleased with these sights ;

In the smith, the Carlists, assisted by the clergy, have
made a pious effort to convert the usual ceremony of the
1.1-ie Dieu into a scene of tumult and disorder. At Mon-
tauban were particular]) audacious; they bore white
gags, and
dhwhite cockades, which the authorities at length
forcibly removed. A set ious row was the consequence,
and many persons on each side were severely hurt. The
bulk of the common peop!e took part with the priests,
under the pretext that the rites of their religion were pro-
faned- At Toulouse the procession was conducted with
great pomp, and the Gazette du Languedoc (a Cirlist
paper, however) exultingly announces, with twice the
number of votaries than at the preceding year, but with- I
out riot, or the interference of the authorities. With the
exception of these two towns, the ceremony went off else-
where without any striking eclat.
A military force of near 10,000 meta was this day ex-
pected to have assembled in La Vendee, to stifle the glim-
inering embers of sedition which are fed in that ancient
magazine of Chouanerie. Last Tuesday the last battalion
of the 9th regiment of the line marched from Bordeaux to
that province. They were escorted to the verge of the
town by the National Guards, with complimentary music,
&c., and the line parted from the latter with shouts of
‘Dowa with the Chouans."
Three appeals from candidates at the elections have just
appeared, and excited some sensation in Paris ; they are
from the famous Barere, the Anacreon of the Guillotine,
as he was well called for his poetical phraseology during
the old reign of terror ; from Geoffrey St. Hilaire, the
celebrated naturalist; and from Savary, Duke of Rovigo.
These gentlemen do not wait to be asked for pledges,
they
give them profusely, as you will see by their addresses,
which I en • close ; and upon the score of- popularity hi
declarations, they are determined to remove all objections.

I'm no scholar, I can tell that much, at any rate.
Process-server—By gor, Toby, your right. Well,
Toby, its a great pity you are not a Protestant—by
gor if you were, the Recorder and Magistrates
would certainly have appointed you to take the cen-
sus—you are just the sort of man for them.
to put down nine children, you say ?
Toby Delahunty—To be sure you are.

not the full number. Good morning Toby.—(Exit.)

We have learned from London that the Prince
of SAXE COBURG will, or has, refused the Crown on the
conditions offered to him. This has excited no surprise
except among the optimists, who have a great horror of.
funds falling, and a vast love of " things as they are.'
Well, what is to he done? Why, the deputation must
return to Belgium with the refusal! and what then?—
Why then the Belgian Congress must direct a war to be
commenced against Holland, unless Holland will evacuate
Luxemburg, Limburg, and the left hank of the Scheldt.
And what then ?—Why the new Holy Alliance is to send
troops to Belgium ; What troops?—British ! Ido not
believe this. A Reformed House of Commons would
never pay the expences of such a war as this. Fraoze,
never! It is of no use Prince TAILEYRAND telling his
brother Protocolista in London that the French Govern-
ment will enforce the Protocol of 20th January by French
troops. It cannot do so, and it dare not do so. Prince
TALLEYRAND knows perfectly well himself that a PERIER
Ministry is a short-lived one—that it could not make a
hostile invasion of Belgium--that France would not allow
it—and, as I had better tell the truth, that France would
prefer to re-enact the drama of July, 1830, than to submit
to such a system of foreign policy. You will see I a"'
right if the Minister should attempt this. Well, then, if
neither British nor French troops should make war, would
an Austrian or a Prussian army enter? No; decidedly
no. France cannot, and will not; allow of any hostile
invasion of the Belgian territory. The Belgians are right
in fact and in principle. They ought nut to yield for
the sake of pleasing the new Holy Alliance or the lovers of
peace at all hazards. Their determination will assist
Poland, and assist France, and assist Italy, and assist
Spain. I could say more on this subject, but to-day pru-
dence counsels me to abstain. I merely exhort the Belgians
to persevere ; and although the Protocolists threaten to-
lay, they
will he 01:ged to acquiesce to morrow. —O.P. Q.

It is this morning demi-officially announced that the
Government are engaged in making some arrangeMent for
an anniversary ceremonial in commemorit•ion of fh4 "three'
days of July, which is to correspond with the gloryof the,
occasion. This intimation is no doubt caused by the: assur-
ance that the populace themselves 'were about to take the
business in hand, when perhaps the interference ofotkel
authorities might be evoked ifs the most unpleaslntistan.
nor ; indeed, the incessant assemblage of small crowds; in
various parts of this metropolis within the last fortnight,
as if recruiting for the anniversary of the bariitrado, must
obviously have led to some official announcement of tG is
kind for the preservation of the public peace at a Moment of
very natural excitement in the seat of so, many reithlutions.
Letters from Vienna, received this morning ;in Paris,
announce, that the court-martial which had .sat ;upon the
unfortunate patriot, Zucchi, had closed its sittings in the
fortress of Gratz, with pas-ing sentence of deathyon their
prisoner; but that.the Emperor of Austria, upon having
the act of condemnation submitted for his confirmation,
erased, with a stroke of the pen, the penal verdict, and
wrote over the record of it the-simple but expressive word
" grace." Zucchi, you will t,eitiember,:was an Austro-
Italian officer np04,,41e ExTlierar's halP:lsty; and in that
capacity rendered amenable to the AustrAn tribunals.
The Russian Government have at length notified,:by the
last _courier, their immediate intention to recall the edict
issued last September, forbidding the subjeCts of the Czar
from residineor travelling iu France. This edict was in
fact a brutunifulmen, for several of the Russian nobility
have continued to reside in Paris, and even visit at their
embasay, in defiance of this Imperial command.
There is no fresh news here of the policy of the Cabinets
respecting Belgium ; the general belief is, that the proto-
cols will be in substance executed. The questioo, how-
ever, of peace or war is beginning to be very seriously
argued ; and the stock-jobbers of all kinds are at f,,11 work,
including Ministers, Marshals, Ambassadors of all nations,
except England now, Frenchmen and foreigners who have
any access to the Bureaus; these, and all their immediate
dependants, are, as usual, hard at work on the Bourse, in
a traffic which politics like those of the present time are
sure to set in action; in a country like this, in which such
speculations are not considered to implicate personal cha-
racter of even the highest men of the realm.

(From the Morning Herald Private Correspondence.)
FARIS, JUNE 12.

Amid the bustle of your Parliamentary preparations,
and the excitement caused by what is passing in Belgium,
you will learn with heartfelt satisfaction that, so far from
being depressed, the hopes of the Poles at present in Paris
have risen high since the details of the sanguinary fight of
the 26th of May have reached them. Strange, gallant,
glorious people ! May the results jastify those antici-
pations!
While, however, I acquaint you with the opinions,
hopes, and expectations of the Poles themselves, I cannot
withhold front you the fears •of able, experienced, and
friendly Frenchmen on their position. It may be summed
up in a few words—lf Gielgud fail in Lithuania,
Poland is lost.

Our domestic news is told in a word. We are busily
employed by preparations for the elections.
On this subject you will find so much in the journals
that I feel it unnecessary to trouble you with an observa-
tion. Ministers and their opponents are equally active,
and equally sanguine respecting the result. But this is
not all ; these parties are not merely as touch opposed,
but are actually more hostile towards each other than were
the adherents of Charles X. and the Liheraux this time
twelve months.
In addition to this source of irritation and uneasiness,
the timid begin to give way to fears respecting the ap-
proaching anniversary of the Revolution (27th, 26th, and
29th of July.) Distress is pressing in Paris and its en-
virons upon the poorer classes, and discontent is felt by
some of the better-informed respecting the march of the
Government, which they deem to be at variance with the
principle laid down when the throne was tendered to
Louis Philippe. It is possible, therefore, that there may
be emeutes, but it is not likely that they will be of a serious
nature. The great majority of the pug lie would abstain
from participation in them, and Government is prepared
to repress revolt, should it display itself. Moreover, a
satisfactory termination of the affairs of Belgium and the
success of the heroic Poles (both of which events are pro-
bable) would avert any danger that the most nervous
could apprehend from the celebration of the anniversary of
the 29th of July. lam not, consequently, among those
who look to the recurrence of " the great week" with fear
and trembling.
The panic which seized the stock-brokers and others on
our Bourse list Friday is explained by numerous sales
mach that day for account of a party whose name was
kept secret for the moment, but who turned out to be M.
Ouvrard. The reputation of that gentleman for good in-
formation and sound calculations does not, however, stand
so high among the speculators as to influence their opera-
tions. Hence the re-action of yesterday, when the great
Bear of Friday was proclaimed.

In our last Paper we noticed the riotous atmu;k_a f
the men employed at the Inn and Coals toat
Merthyr Tydfil, on the premises of the Chief Of
of the Coart of Requests at that place; and,

for a moment tolerate the unlawful and tuthident
proceedings of the mob, and we are assured, that
every effort to remove reasonable complaints has been
made by the masters. We now proceed to detail
the proceedings of the much-to-be-lamented affair.
On Wednesday night, the I t inst., 3. 13. Brtich

The Magistrates were very repeatedly pushed up,
and almost driven into the house,.across the door ~,t•
which they had placed themselves for its protection.
The mob at length predominated, and the Magis-
trates passed through them, not without- various at •
tempts on the part of the more desperate, to thronci
upon and insult them--and this upon two gentle-
men, one of whom has for the last twenty-five
years acted for the place with unwearied effmts

calculated that nine-tenths of this mob were slam,-
gers toMerthyr-wo will ut all events hope; for the
credit of the place, that such was the case. -About
eight o'clock in the evening of the same day, the
mob, harangued by a most desperate rioter (known
as Lewis Penderrin and Lewis the Huntsman);
whose father had been relieved by Mr. Joseph Collin,
in various instances of distress, and who had been
lent 101. at a time by hiM, forced his way into that
gentleman's house, followed by the mob, +w ho

broke the stair-railings, threw the books and pic-
tures into the street, and made a bonfire of the whole.
on the road before the door, systematically .prevent-
ing interference, by placing ropes across the road,

threatening furiously all who dared to apprcach.--'
Mrs. Coffin and children (the former dangerously
ill) were driven into one bed-room, expecting ro be
burnt in the house every instant. When they had
satisfied their vengeance on Mr. Coffin (which was,
not till they had destroyed every article, and even
torn the paper off the walls), they performed the
same complete demolition on the next house, be..
longing to Mr. Rees, and acAraily demolished all
the furniture in that house also, shouting like
savages, and defying the civil power, which was too
weak to prevent them. At this period the Magis-'
trates felt necessary for the protection of the
place to send for military assistance, and at nine:
o'clock the following morning (Friday, June 3, a
day which, for its horrors, will long be remembered
at Merthyr), two companies of the 93d High-
landers, under Major Falls, arrived. The mob met
them at Ffynon Tidfil, and insulted them grossly on
their entrance into the town, and continued to in:
crease in violence as well as numbers, till encou-
raged by the few who remained oppo,ite the Castle
Inn, tired with a long march and very hot day, they
made a rush at the muskets, and seized about 25 of
them. At this time commenced, in the door way
and on the steps of the Castle Inn, a conflict, which
for bravery on the part of the few Highlanders, and
desperate fury on the part of their assailants, was
never exceeded. Mary times were the steps lost
and gained, till the destruction dealt out by the
rapid firing of the 93d intimidated the insurgents,
and at last cleared the street. Major Falls, Mr.
Russell, and other officers of the 93d were despe-
rately wounded with bludgeons, as well as about 10
or 12 of the men. On the part of the mob three -of
the ringleaders were shot, nine others of the mob,
and about six others, whom curiosity had originally
brought there. There were seventy wounded, and
bodies are daily found in the fields and hedges of
the place. One man seized a soldier's musket, and
in their struggle for its possession, the rioter re-
ceived the bayonet in his body, and fell with the end
sticking out of his back. Another rioter, who
caught hold of a boy belonging to the regiment, re-
ceived a bayonet through his heart, and at the sonic
time received a musket shot in his side. A poor
woman, who was sitting in her room knitting, and
a pauper, who was going to receive parish relief,
are among those who were unfortunately killed--
The Riot Act was read by R. IL Jenkins,
Esq., the High Sheriff, and be, Messrs. Guest,
Crawshay, R. Hill, A. Hill, J. B. Bruce, W.
Thomas, Rev. Lle. Llewelyn, Marcross, and several
other gentlemen were in the inn while the conflict
continued. The troops were soon removed to Peny-
darran-place, the seat of the late William Foreman,
Esq., where they now continue. Late on Friday
night another detachment of the 93d arrived from
Newport,—also Major Rickards's squadron of Yeo-
manry Cavalry,—Captain Morgan (linperra's)
squadron, and Captain Talbot's Bridgend Troop,—

NORWICH PORT.—A new harbour has been
for some time forming at the entrance of Lake Lothing,
below Norwich, by means of which that ancient city
will become a sea-port. On Friday the 3(1 instant, the
first vessel, the Ruby yacht, of 50 tons, entered the lake
through the lock from the sea. Some of the circum-
stances attending the admission of-the sea-water into the
lake were particularly striking. The salt water entered
the lake with a strong under-current, over which the fresh
ran nut to the sea. The fresh water was gradually raised
to the surface, and the entire body of water in the Like was
elevated above its former level. At a short distance from
the lock, in the lake, there was a clearly defined line
where the salt-water might be taken up in one band, and
the fresh in the other. The admission of the sea-water
proved fatal to thousands of the inhabitants of the lake,
and its surface was seen covered with dead pike, carp,
perch, bream, roach, and dace. It is a singular fact that
a pike of about 20 pounds' weight was taken up dead, in

—On Saturday last a gentleman, allied to a noble family,
entered the Cigar Divan, in King-street, Covent-garden,
in a state of great excitement. Being personally known-
to the proprietor, he was advised, as he appeared unwell,
to retire to the garden that is fitted up in the summer
months fur the reception of visiters. He did so ; and
having ordered his refreshment, took a seat at the extres
mity of the shrubbery. His agitation was so great as to
render him nearly inarticulate, but this was attributed by
the waiter to inebriation ; and as he was seated where he
could be no annoyance to the visiters of the Coffee room,
the attendants retired and left him alone. In a few
minutes the report of a pistol was beard. On the pro-
prietor of the Divan running into the garden, he found
the unfortunate gentleman trembling very violently, bold-
ing a discharged pistol in his hand, and with a paper en-
closing sonic mineral substance on the table before him,
lie said that lie always carried pistols for his personal se•
curity, and that it had been discharged accidentally. He
was then asked what was in the paper, and he replied,
" Salts." The word " poiaoa," however, was upon the
paper ; and on the contents being taken to a chymist's, they
were pronounced to be oxalic acid. The bullet struck a
tree behind the seat occupied by the gentleman, from
which it is conjectured that lie had pointed it at
himself, but, from his agitation, discharged it over his
shoulder. Un•ler all the circumAances, Mr. K., the
proprietor, determined on detaining him until Ws friends
could be apprised of his situation. This be resisted, and
demanded his liberation, but at logth burst into tears,
an I mentioned the name of a gentleman, who was tics
anNdeartliyientwothiheouuin.sfoerltazsaetda bgeefnotrleema thisn

was conveyed away in a close carriage. He appeared in a
dreadful state of nervous debility, conversed incoherently,
and was frequently in tears. The only motive that can
beimagined for the rash attempt is the effect of some poli-
tical differences with his relatives. Mr. K., of course,
searched the unfortunate gentleman, to ascertain if he had
upon his person any other means of destruction; and in so
doing, saw his purse and pocket hook ; the state of each,
as well as his rank and family, preclude the possibility of
di,ll-4ss having induced she rash attempt. .

rived under Major Penrice, 30 of whom got:into
an ambuscade a few days before near Heirwain,
and were disarmed by a large body of insurgents,
armed with foudingpieces, which they had been in-
dustriously plundering all over the country. On the
7th arrived a troop of the 3d Dragoon Guards, and
three companies of the 98th Regiment arc hourly
expected, so that there is now a very large body of
troops at Dowlais and Penydarran. On Monday
the Gth a large portion of the troops under Colonel
Morgan of the Glamorganshire militia, dispersed a
large mob assembled from Sirhowy,.Tredegar, Nant-
y-Glo, &c. at Dowlais, but they would riot move tilt
Mr. Guest had read the Riot Act. The 93d then
shelved symptoms of firing, and they fled and dis-
persed in all quarters. On that night fifteen of the
ringleaders were apprehended in the town, and. are
now under examination. The strong held of these
rioters has been at Danl-graig, the steep limestone
rock near Grawen on the Brecon road, where for
many days, from the Strength of the position, they
were enabled to stop all communication by ‘vheel
carriages, blocking the road with huge masses of the
loose limestone rock. These men have also been
Idizpersed, and are sending in their arms from all
quarters, and it is just rumoured that Lewis the
huntsman, has been apprehended at Penderrin. Mr.
Bruce, accompanied by Cape! Miers, Esq. :vat
Lieut. M'Gregor, as volunteers, took a post.chaise
and four, to the midst of the Hirwain works by four
o'clock on the morning of the 7th to seize this,
ruffian, but on entering his house they found he had
absconded the night before. We are happy to say
that the forges are again at work, and that the
miners and colliers are also gradually returning. God
grant that the peace of the country may be hence
forward undisturbed by such daring proceedings.
