The avidity with which the poor 'Ol that country
sized the opportunity of .instructiou was wholly
unparalleled. It was gt at ifying, top, that efforts,
were eerywhere making to teed this spit it.
Mr. V.FITZGERALD bore testimony to the ra-.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Sunday last. The prolonged and tedious discus-
sion on the Budget of Ways and Means was not
yer finished; it drawled on through the Sitting of
Saturday, and was again adjourned till Monday.
The following are extracts :

" PARIS, JULY 4.—The King yesterday trans-
acted business with the Minister for Foreign Af-
fairs, and afterwards took an airing to Rainey.
" The Minister of the Interior has appointed a
Council, consisting of persons chosen from amongst
the Protestants and Lutherans, fur the pur-
pose of giving him information and advice
respecting every thing that may relate to the
.interests of these two Christian Communions.
The following are appointed Members of
the Council :—The Count Boissy d'Anglas, the
Marquess de Jancourt, the Count Pelet de la
Lozc'tre, M, Benjamin Delessert, the Baron Cha-
hilud Latour, Lieut.-General. Maurice Mathieu,
11. de Turchheim, and M. Bartholdy, banker.
A violation of the sanctuary of the ,lead

" CORFU, JUNE I.—The unfortunate town of
Parga has at length been subjected to Ali Paella,
who has taken possession of it. The inhabitants,
men, women, and children, to the number of be-
tween two and three thousand, have quitted, with
tears in their eyes, their native soil, and
they are now wandering in this and the neigh-
bouring Isles, in search of a home. They
have not yet received the money awarded to them
for the property they leave behind in their late
residence.

" CARIARUNE, JUNE 27.—The Baron de Hers-
lett, our Minister for Foreign Affairs, has frequent
conferences with the Russian Envoy here.
" Dispatches are impatiently expected here
from the Margrave William of Baden Hochberg,
who proceeded some time since on a very im-
portant mission to Petersburg!).
" MADRID, JUNE 22.—The change in our Mi-
nistry has operated to augment the activity of the
preparations for sending out the Expedition from
Cadiz, which it is now said will sail in the course
of August.

" The report of the appointment of Don L
Oois to the department of Foreign Affairs is con•

firmed."

EXTRACT OP A LETTER PKOM KENTUCKY (AME
RICA), BTH JUNE.

" Never within the recollection of our oldest
Citizens has the aspect of the times, in regard to
property and money, been so alarming ; already
has property been sacrificed in considerable quan-
tities, is this and our neighbouring countries, for
less than half its value. We bare but little mo-
ney in circulation, and that little is daily dimi-
nishing, by the great calls of the various Banks.
Neither land, nor any other article, can be sold
for half its value in cash; while executions to
the amount of many hundred thousands of dol-
lars are hanging over the, heads of our Citizens ;
and perhaps in a short time no debts will be paid,
and no money will be in circulation even to an-
swer the ordinary purposes of human life. War-
rants, writs, and executions:vrill be more abun-
dant than Bank notes, and the Country will pre-
sent a scene of sacrificing for the poor remnants
of individtial fortunes."

As a proof of the flourishing State of the RE..
VENUE, announced in Parliament on Monday last,
by the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER, we have
only to refer the Public to the suijoined Docu-
ment, which is not only gratifying in itself, as
evincing the present favourable aspect of National
Affairs, but as it holds forth a cheering promise
that all temporary difficulties will be overcome,
and the Empire, in due time, be restored to its
wonted prosperity :

Saving Banks. The Dividends, which this by
commenced paying to the Bankers, and will be
paid to-morrow to the Public, will amount to ten
millions. The Commissioners were served by one
Broker with 3 per cent. Reduced at 67k. At one
o'clock Consols were 68:1-i.

There has seldom been an act of Royal benignity
more gratifying than the clemency shewn to the
family of the late Lord EDWARD FITZGERALD.
Let his errors be buried in the grave with hitu,
but let not his meritorious Descendants suffer for
those errors. The manner in which the Earl of
LIVERPOOL introduced this subject to the House
of Lords, was recommended by a dignified spirit
and liberal feeling on which we presumed to offer
our humble commendation, but which sufficiently
spoke for itself to every humane disposition.—
His Lordship was ably followed last ,night in

the House of Commons by Lord CASTLEREAGH,
who moved the first reading of the Bill in that
place, which bad previously passed in,the House
of Lords. The Bill was read a first and second
time, and ordered to be committed. There can be
but one sentiment of esteem and admiration
throughout the Empire, as to a measure so ho-
nourable to the Royal Character, and so strongly
marked by justice and benevolence.

It is with no slight degree of pleasure we as-
sure the Public, that. the WARNING VOICE, which
we yesterday raised, in order to call the attention
of Government, and to rouse the loyalty of the
People, has already procured us the thanks of
many of our Readers, and from what we have
heard, has made a strong impression throughout
the Metropolis. No man who reflects upon the
origin and progress of the French Revolution, can
think that we have endeavoured to spread a need-
less alarm. We all know that that hideous event,
which has absolutely shaken the foundation of
every civilized Government, commenced among the
lowest of the populace, instigated by artful and
ambitious men, and what was the consequence
the downfal of an ancient Monarchy, the mur-

der of a good King and Queen, and other
Royal Victims, besides a . genecal Massacre of
all well disposed People. It has been said,
that the English Reformers are too contemptible,
and No notoriously infamous, to be capable of
doing much mischief. This is a dangerous de-
lusion. SEDITION• and REBELLION, when once on
foot, spread' with the rapidity of the most baleful
contagion, and cannot be too soon and too
vigorously opposed. Let it be admitted that
such wen as GALE JONES, WOOLER, Dr. WSTSON,
THISTLEWOOD, and other tried Reformers who
signed the Revolutionary Proclamation which we

yesterday inserted, are held in merited con-
tempt by all wise and good men, yet the
ignorant multitude, upon whose passions. and
distresses they may work for the purposes of their

own ambition, constitute a vast mass of discon-
tented People, who may be stimulated into the
most fatal excesses by the inflammatory harangues
and daring pens of wicked Agitators. As for
Mr. COBBETT, jun, it is ridiculous to mention his
name, except that it chews what may be expected
from the family, though this individual may have
" no sting for the present." We find that not only
in this Country, but in France, and other parts of
Europe, there is a tendency to insurrection pre-
vailing, and will certainly break forth in the most
alarming manner in France on the demise of the
Monarch, who now, wi:h all his virtues; sits upon
a tottering Throne. We should be branded with
shame and indignation if we were to stiffer the
contemptible Miscreants whom we have named to
demolish our glorious Constitution, and introduce
all the dreadful events of 3 French Revolution into

this happy Country. The Morning Heruld this
day says, in reference to the Rebel Placard,
which invites all descriptions of Reforming
Ruffians to assemble in Smithfidd for the de-
struction of Government, " We are sure
every friend to public quiet and humanity will
view it with sorrow and alarm. It is sure to do
mischief.. It (the Meeting) may, like that of last
year, be stained with the blood of peaceful
Citizens, and serve as the prelude to the sus-
pension of the Laws and the shedding of human
life upon the Scaffold." We fully agree with that
Paper, but we probably differ as to those who
might probably be brought to the scaffold ; for we
fear, unless this Meeting is prevented,•and sedi-

tious movements in general checked in time, that
not the TRAITORS and the REBELS will pay the
forfeit of their crimes upon the scaffold, but" the
peaceful Citizens" who may attempt to resist
the Revolutionary torrent. But Ministers, we
trust, will fully weigh the threatening danger, and
be prepared to avert it.

Yesterday afternoon Lord Aesr..Er, Sir GEORGE
CLERK, ana Mr. PEEL, left town for the Con-
tinent. They embarked at Deptford, on hoard
the Admiralty yacht, and proceed by the way of
Rotterdaws
