PARIS.

(EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.)
The newspapers have already acquainted you with the
scenes of horror and desolation which have occurred in
this city, and, though contradictary, and in some measure
inaccurate, they still approach nearer the truth than the
reports of the idle here. The beginning of all I was an
eye-witness to,—that is, the breaking of the order for the
march of the funeral, by the mob forcing their way, by
Rue de Is Paix, to go to the column of Place Vendome.
The drawing of the hearse had been abandoned to a paid
mob, which conducted itself in the most indecent manner,
forcing every man to take off his bat at their cries of,
" Vivela Liherti!." On their return from the Place Vendome,
opposite to our house, they stopped and shouted in an un-
intelligible way, pointing to the house of No. 14, where,
like every where else, people were looking out of the win-
dows ; and it was not until they threw stones at three ladies
on the balcony that it was known that the white diasses
of the ladies were obnoxious to them. When the pro-
cession had proceeded as far as Rue Grammont, on the
Boulevards, the same mob that had thrown stones in the
Rue de la Paix committed the same excess on. the bal-
cony of the club-house where the Duke of Fitsaam!s was
standing, but on the plea of his not taking off his hat.
Nine panes of glass were broken, and one very large look-
ing-glass in the saloon. No one, except a gentleman who
was hit on his hand with a penny thrown by the rabble,
was hurt. All the English gentlemen who were present
took off their hats ; and when some of the people came
up, with demonstrations of anger, and they assured them
that the offending Duke had retired, and that they thought
his conduct had been to blame, the people went quietly
away. On the same part of the Boulevards, a policeman
was killed, on the plea of his insulting the remains of
Lamarque, in not taking off his hat. The procession
proceeded alter that without interruption to the Place de
la Bastille, where some shots were fired from behind the
palisades which surround a monument erecting there.
There was a little fighting there; the artillery-men of the
National Guards left the procession, to spread a terror
through the streets, by running and crying, " Aux Armes,
ou nous assassines." The rest proceeded to the Pont
d'Austarli/z, where the body was to be deposited in the
travelling vehicle. The same mob took General Lafayette,
put hitn in a fiacre, from off which they unharnessed the
horses, and dragged him triumphantly along the Boule-
vards to his house. When they came to the guard-house,
Place de la Madeleine, they wanted to force the soldiers to
tender military honours to their hero; but he himself
begged and prayed his friends to leave the soldiers alone,
and they obeyed him. Towards six o'clock on the day
(sth June) they formed barricades in Rue St. Martin and
Porte St. Martin, an appeal to the National Guards was
also made, but the Guards were very slow in answering
it. Nut much was done that night. Troops were
marched into Paris during the night, and the next morn-
ing, at five, the appeal made to call the National Guard.
The appeal was effectual, as it was known that 30,000
republicans and Carliats were prepared to revolutionize
Fiance. Our part of the town was very quiet ; we were
only dis.ressed by the firing which was going on the Qum!,
the Place du Chaplet, and the Rue St. Martin. It is
thought that there have been as many lives (if not more)
lost, as on the three days of 1830. Among the rabble
were a considerable portion of all thelefugees—Poles, Ita-
lians, and Germans. I cannot give you an estimate of the
number killed, fearing to be inaccurate. An unfortunate
servant in our house, whose husband went out on the even-
ing of the sth, smoking his pipe along the Boulevards, and
who even went out without his coat, and has never re-
turned, went to the Morgue to see if she could find her
husband among the unknown persons dead, who are
always taken there, she told my that both on the 6th and
the 7th, when she was there, at six in the morning, corpses
were lying like logs of wood. They must have amounted,
she said, to three hundred. She saw women as well as
men, and a good many who, by their dress, were evidently
country people. It is believed that the Tories of Eng-
land, and the despotic Monarchs of other countries, are no
strangers to the pr?pktatmg of these disturbances in
France, and that their money supplied the wants of the
Duchess de Berri and her party. Be this as it may, the)
must all be convinoed now that their utmost efforts are in-
effectual to overthrow the Government, for some time to
come, at least. Troops of all arms are bivouacing in the
Champs Elyssi,s, and some part of the Boulevards. All is
quiet now. The Duke of Fitzjames is arrested. I should
suppose that there are apprehensions of fires, for all the
Pompier, are casque eu tete prepared, and on the qui vive,

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 13, 1832.

At half-past one o'clock, this day, his
MAJESTY, accompanied by Sir HERBERT
TAYLOR, arrived from Windsor, at St. James's
Palace. His MAJESTY was escorted from
Hounslow by a party of the 9th Lancers.
Shortly after his arrival, his MAJESTY held a
Court and Levee, which were numerously at-
tended.

We refer to our extracts from the French
Journals for intelligence respecting the state of
affairs in the capital. In the provinces,
the Duchess DE BERRI is as frantic, and
more fool-hardy than ever. Old BOURMONT
too, thrice a traitor, is hastening, it seems, to the
assistance of the Vendeans. We await, with
some curiosity, the proceedings of the Emperor
IslictroLAs, when he shall hear of the late dis-
turbances.

The Brussels and German Papers received
this morning do not add any thing to the
accounts recently received from those quarters.
The late meeting at Hambach seems to
have produced a very extraordinary sensation
throughout Germany. The account of it wil
horrify the Emperor Nic

We cannot too often, or too urgently impress /
on the minds of the people the important—the
highly important fact, that the Reform Bill is at
best only a means to an end, and that if they
really desire to secure that end, they must them-
selves be the main agents in accomplishing it.
Of one fact we can assure them, on authority
not to be doubted, namely, that the Ultras are
already astir and in the field, and that subscriptions
to an immense extent are getting up among
them, whose sole object is, by bribery and cor-
ruption—so far as such expedients can now
be safely resorted to—to subdue, or at least
to cripple, the popular energies at the ensuing
elections. If, therefore, the people be not still
on their guard : if they do not still hold
watch and ward over their interests, they
will yet find themselves defeated on those very
points about which they are most solicit-
ous. The division of the counties, which
we always regarded with distrust, has been a
sort of loop-hole, left, as if on purpose, for the
Tories to creep in at, and the only sure way to
block up this loop-hole—which, we grieve to say,
is large enough for even his fat Grace of BUCK-
INGHAM to wriggle through—is for the people to
combine, to fraternize, and resolve, as at the last
immortal election, to return none but good men
and true to Parliament. By good men and
true, we mean men who belong to the present,
not the past day ; who understand its wants
and sympathize with its desires ; who are Re-
formers not from expediency but inclination ;
men of business by habit as well as by choice ;
prompt in word and deed ; and as quick to con-
ceive as zealous to execute. Men of this
stamp are not an every day's growth, still
they may be found, and in abundance too,
if the people will but give themselves the trou-
ble to ferret them out. Two of such a com-
plexion are already in the field. We allude to
Col. JONES and Mr. CUTHBERT RIPPON. The
former starts for Marylebone ; the latter for Gates-
head. Both are Reformers in the most exten-
sive sense of the term ; and both hare claims
on the justice of their countrymen, which it
would be the blackest ingratitude to reject. When
it was fiat blasphemy to doubt the immaculate
purity of the Episcopal Establishment, Mr.
CUTHBERT RIPPON spoke boldly out on the
subject. - When it was equal impiety to doubt
the perfect honour of the Boroughmongers,
Colonel JON Es exposed the wretches in all their
native unsightliness. Both gentlemen fought the
good fight in all seasons and in all weathers,
through good report and through evil report
as hen the most overwheltning odds were against
them. It is no great stretch of patriotism to
sport the Reformer in the present sunny weather,

Colonel JONES and CUTHBERT RIPPON had
the candour and the manliness to proclaim them-
selves not only reformers, but radicals, and not
only to proclaim themselves such, but even to
rejoice in the appellation. We say, therefore,
that men like these, who have been regularly
toiling their ten or twelve hours daily in the field ,
have a right to be rewarded at the harvest-home.
These are the sort of men to work the great
machine of Reform, and not your vacillating,
addle-headed Aldermen THOMPSONS. Such
small deer can only injure the cause. Great
emergencies demand great energies, and it is not
in a drowsy Alderman that we should ever dream
of looking for these. We would take his opi-
nion on a matter relating to calipash or calipee ;
his dictum should be gospel with us on a point
involving the comparative merits of a haunch of
venison or a haunch of mutton ; we would be
guided by him in our choice of wines at a
City feast ;—but on the great paramount ques-
tion of Reform, which it is morally impossible
that his stinted faculties can grasp, we would
no more think of subscribing to his opinion,
or looking to him for assistance, than we
should think of applying to a fat poodle
for protection from a mad bull. No, no ; Co-
lonel JONES and CUTHBERT RIPPoN, and men
like these, are the only fit men to solve the great
problem of Reform. They know its bearings,
they see its tendencies, and they must bring it
to its inevitable issue.

ST. ALBAN'S ABBEY.

PUBLIC MEETING.-(THIS .DAY.)

A meeting was held to-day at the Thatched-house Ta-
vern, for the purpose of devising the necessary measures for
restoring and preserving this venerable structure.
Papers were distributed about the room, briefly detail-
ing the history of the Abbey, from a report recently
made by Mr. Donaldson. It appeared, according to
that report, that some portions of the building are of Saxon
origin, but portions of it are assigned to different periods of
time. This Abbey shared the fate of many others at the
dissolution; hut in the reign of Edward VI. it was pur-
chased by the corporation of St. Alban's, and then it be-
came the parochial church. Durir', the Commonwealth
it was plundered of its valuable decorations, but was
repaired during the reign of Charles 11. In 1703, the
large window, at the south transept, was blown down, and
was replaced by the present wooden frame. The edifice has
however for a long period been gradually falling to decay,
owing to an insufficiency of funds to repair it, until at
length a poi tion of it fell down, and other parts are in so
ruinous a condition that they are obliged to he shored up.
At about half-past one o'clock the Bishop of LONDON
took the Chair.

His LORDSHIP, on taking his seat, said, he wished
their prospects to remedy the evil which had befallen
the Abbey were adequate to the necessity of the case. But
they had instances before them, such as Yorkminster, and
the Ladye Chapel, in Southwark, which would justify
them in believing that so ancient and venerable a struc-
ture as St. Allan's Abbey would not be permitted by a
discerning public to go to ruin for want of funds
to preserve it. He, for one, would be happy
to give his mite towards such a desirable ob-
ject, with the understanding that no money should be
expended until the whole amount necessary to put the Ab-
bey in a complete state of repair should be raised, for he
would not advise the laying out a small sum, which might
only save it from tumbling down for eight or ten years.
He hoped, however, that the liberality of the public would
enable them to repair it with such effect that it would be
preserved for centuries to come.
At Om request of the CHAIRMAN, Mr. DONALDSON
then read his report of the state of the building and the
repairs necessary to be performed.
The following resolutions were to be submitted to the
meeting :
" That this meeting have learnt with deep concern the
serious accident which has occurred to the nave of St.
Allan's Abbey, and the ruinous state of other parts of
this magnificent building—a building especially deserving
consideration from the remote antiquity of its erection, the
beauty of its architecture, and its many historical asso-
ciations.

" That it appears to this meeting, from a report of a
survey recently made, that the stun of 15,0001. will be ab-
solutely requisite to put the building into substantial repair.
" That this Abbey having at the Reformation become
the p irochial church of a small parish, its funds are ut-
terly inadequate to meet this emergency, and unless assisted
by a national subscription, this most ancient of our sacred
edifices must inevitable fall to ruin.

" That this meeting cannot contemplate a cit cutn-
stance so discreditable to the present age, and they,
therefore, confidently anticipate that the spirit of libe-
rality and good taste which has so recently rescued frotn
destruction York Minster and the Ladye Chapel of St.
Saviours, Southwark, will be extended to the present ob-
ject with equal magnificence.
" That an appeal be forthwith made to the public with
a view to raise the necessary funds, and that a Com-
mittee be formed with full power to carry into effect the
objects of the meeting under an obligation to convene
a meeting of the subscribers in order to report progress."
