LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 4, 1827.

The debate of last night, in the House of
4ininons, was one of the most stormy witnessed

show present sufficient time has not elapsed to
lure . b may be the consequences of this
jut they can hardly be . otherwise than
trim IPortent. The National Guard of Paris
co9sed of select inhabitants of that city,

had existed fora long 'series of years, and was
completely interwoven with the national habits
and ideas. Its number was very considerable—
We believe not less than 30,000 men. The act
which has disgraced- so numerous and influential
a body of the Citizens of the Capital, may have
got rid of an immediate danger ; but the spirit
which had influenced the corps collectively, will
be excited rather than allayed, by the individual
injury and disgrace which each person who be-
longed to it considers has been done to him, by
its being disbanded and annihilated: We sub-
join a few extracts :
(From the Journal des Debcds.)
" A great event has occurred. A Royal Ordinance has
dissolved the National Guard of Paris. That guard was
composed of the select inhabitants of the capital. It has
existed for a long series of years, and has rendered hn-
inen'se services to order and to Royalty. Its lines have
twice protected peace within and without, against the
movements of foreign invasion and anarchy. Twice has
the restoration appeared amidst its ranks, protected by its
acclamations, supported by its devotion, and sometimes de-
fended by its arms. This Guard, truly national, is no
more. A Royal Ordinance has treated it like the army of
the Loire : it is dissolved. The ordinance was discussed
in the Council, and issued at the very hour in which all
the Treasury journals had recorded in their columns those
lively testimonies of public joy, and that unanimity of
loyal sentiments, which, as they asserted, filled the factious
with despair.

" We may observe that the National Guard, from its
nature, carries always with it the recollections of the city;
that its discipline is not even in the eyes of Royal authority
that of the armed force; that, in fact, the cry of Vine le
Roi, from which the troops of the line are interdicted, was
permitted to this civic guard ; that its officers gave it the
example of acclamations, and that this appeal to the first
of its sentiments led it to allow all others to escape. But
no, discipline has been wounded ; the father of the country
has heard the wishes of some of his children, when he had
to expect only their homage.

" But who are the first, the greatest criminals 7 Who
has exposed the King and France to these melancholy
scenes, by persisting in persevering, in spite of the unani-
mous expression of public feeling, a power always com-
promised and put in jeopardy while in their hands ?" &c.
(From the Conetitutionnel.)
" PARIS, Aran. 30.—The Ministers assembled yester-
day evening in an extraordinary council. We learn that
the anti-monarcl.<'al and anti-national measure of the dis-
solution of that superb National Guard, the eulogy of
which has resounded this morning in all the journals, even
those of the Ministers, Was warmly opposed by the Duke
de Doudeauville, who pointed out all the dangers of such
a proceeding, and who, it is said, nobly protested against
the calumnies, by means of which advantage has been so
rashly and imprudently taken of the conscientious scruples
of the Monarch. Unfortunately, the councils of wisdom
were not listened to. _ _ _

•
" It is this morning announced that the Duke de Dou-
deauville has sent in his resignation to the King.

" We cannot describe the profound affliction, or rather
stupor, which prevails in Paris. To-day, sorrow is as ge-
neral as joy was yesterday. It is this evening announced
that Viscount Sosthene de la Rochefoucauld, Colonel of the
late National Guard of Paris, has resigned his office of
Director-General of the Department of the Fine Arts.

Brussels Papers of the 2d of May have been
received this morning. The only thing worth
extracting is the spirited and wise Address of
Lord COCHRANE to the Greeks previously
to his joining their cause. He enforces :mna-
nimity as the only but sure mode of eman-
cipating their country. Discord will acce-
lerate their ruin, and drive him from their
service ; but a noble oblivion of past feuds
and petty jealousies will , cement their union,
and with it achieve their independence. They
may trust Lord COCHRANE-his words are not
more prophetic than his, assistance is disinte-
rested, and as for his enthusiastic intrepidityL—
the bravest of the Greeks may follow him without
a blush :

H'CDRA, MARCH 21.

The following is what Lord Cochrane, on his arrival,
said to the Deputies of Hydra, Speaaia, and Hermione :
" Europe contemplates with joyful participation your
noble exploits ; it does not fear that you will be again sub-
dued. lam come to co-operate with you in your deliverance.
I leave behind me in Europe powerful and generous men,
who are ready to succour you. The steam boats will soon
be here. The several Committees will send you money
and provisions. The only thing that 1 fear is, the discord
which I hear prevails among you. I will not listen to
what any of the parties say, I only tell you and announce
to you that if you think lit to agree together, and to act
in unison with me, Greece will be delivered, and that in a
short time. By acting otherwise you will be ruined, and
I shall soon forsake you." Lord Cochrane then announced
the speedy commencement of the naval campaign.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twelve o' Clock.

At the close of business yesterday Consols exhibited
considerable weakness, and immediately after business some
sales were made at 81i 2 ; this morning the market opened
at 81k, at which rate several bargains were done; an im-
provement then took place to 82i 4, but they have since
dropped to 82, remaining in a feverish state ; the dealers
seem puzzled how to direct their operations, and the least
intelligence, however unimportant, that transpires, has
greater effect than might, in ordinary times, be expected.
The debates which took place last night, in which so much
angry feeling was manifest, and so much disappointment
shown, have not tended to allay this tmeertainty in the
public. mind ; in the mean time the disposition to invest
money in India Bonds and Exchequer Bills increases, the
former having advanced to the extraordinary premium of
72 4, and the latter to 47 8. Nothing important has taken
place in the Foreign Funds, Mexican Bonds being steady
at 68i ; and Colombian, 32-a It is reported in the
City that the Congress have met at Bogota, and have
unanimously refused to accept the resignation of the Libe-
rator ; and an expectation seems to be entertained that
more extensive powers than he ever possessed will be offered
for his acceptance, if he can be induced to take upon him-
self the Government of that Republic, In the other Foreign
Securities little or nothing is at present doing, nor has any
material fluctuation taken place.

The City has been inundated with reports this morning ;
among others, the resignation of the 'French' Minister, and
the marching of troops of the line towards' Paris.—
This had the effect of causing ConSols,to decline to.Bli ;
they became rather, higher afterwards, and are now 82 ;
