TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Vat ions articles which were in type. and ready for this evening's pub-
lication, are necessarily postponed.

This dad• despatches were received at the Foreign
Office from his Excellency Lord STUART DE ROTHSAY,
our Ambassador at the Court of France.

Despatches were also received at the Colonial Office from
Major-General Sir JAMES LYON Governor of Barbadoes,
dated the 2Sth of August; from lieutenant-General SirC.
CoLv ELLE, Governor of the Mauritius, dated June 26;
sad from St. Thomas's, dated the 12th of September.

We have seen a letter from an English merchant at Ant-
werp, dated the 18th inst. He states that the spirit dis-
played in the town was daily becoming more decidedly
hostile, and that the Burgher Guard would, ere long, be
utterly unable to keep tranquillity in the place. He had sent
off his family, and the chief of his property, to Rotterdam,
and others were fast following the example.

We this day have to lay before our Readers some further
accounts fron► Paris of the most unfavourable character.
The lawless commotions in that capital continue; and we are
sorry, that continuance, in our opinion, betrays a feebleness
in the Government, that is not likely to give them
a speedy termination. It would appear from the
narration of our own correspondent, and the extracts
which we have made, that these street mobs, if treated with
the usual energy of all Governments which pretend to pre-
serve tranquillity, might be prevented; and, therefore, that
they are not prevented must, we apprehend, be considered
as a sign, either that the spirit of disaffection is too extensive,
or that the protective authority of Government is not ade-
quately strong. Whenever the weakness of a Government
becomes clearly developed, the worst consequences follow.
The King of the French is trying the experiment of govern-
ing by the affections of the people ; and we think
he must feel not a little disappointed. The very
first point, on which they even suspect him of
having different views from their own, they are
on the alert to -mark strongly their determination
to place themselves in opposition to his wishes.
Were the sentiments of which they suspect him, in -
dicative of tyrannical intentions—did they threaten the

life or freedom of any popular favourites—there might
be some apology for the clamour which disturbs his Go-
vernment ; but when, on the contrary, the only cause
assigneii for the opposition, is a surmise that be is
anxious not to take the lives of three or four unfortunate
fellow creatures, with whom, however much he may have
disapproved their policy, he most probably has been in the
habit of personal friendship, and who have not yet had
their presumed political offences fairly investigated, all
surrounding nations cannot contemplate the scenes now
in enacting in Paris, and hear of the demoniac yell for blood,
which issues from its infuriate populace, without shudder-
ing with horror, at what will be the result of such
a state of things. We cannot, however, believe that such
sentiments as we are condemning, are predominating in
Paris ; and we are rejoiced to hear from our Correspondent,
that the Burgeoise and National Guards in their conduct,
condemn and disavow them. We are sure they must be
detested by all Paris and all France, but the veriest refuse
of society.

It is, however, salutary, although rather mortifying, to
ontemplate such scenes, u thou to which we now allude.

The last achievements of the Parisians, and 4' b gloire
das frau fours'' had almost dazzled all Europe into an
idea, that popular violence could never take a wrong di-
rection ; and thus, by unduly appreciating its hazards,
had diminished that cautionary horror, which former revolu-
tionary excesses had usefully impressed on the memory
and imagination.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.

RECEIVED THIS DAT.

PARIS, OCTOBER 19.

In a postscript to my last letter of the 16th, I gave you a
hurried account of a riotous assemblage in front of the Palais
Royal, which had for its ostensible object, to express dissa-
tisfaction at the intention which it is said exists to save the
unfortunate state prisoners. For the last two subsequent
evenings, similar disgraceful scenes have occurred; and yes-
terday evening, the 18th, the mob assembled became at last
so numerous and violent, as evidently to have been viewed
with some uneasiness by the inmates of the Palace and the
Government. To be able to convey to you an accurate
idea of the fearful drama which is now daily, or rather
nightly, transacting, before the palace of the King of the
French—before the palace of a King newly selected
by the sovereign majesty of this people—and who has yet
studiouly courted their favour—l was present in the street
from the first nucleus of the mob until its full growth and
final dissolution. It commenced, as it did on the former
evening, by a few, of what you would call, regular blackguard
boys, vociferating occasionally " Down with the Ministers
—Death to Polignac, &c."—l noticed that the most noisy
one of this rabble, was the same individual that I mentioned
in my last, had lost part ofhis originally ragged coat, in hie
struggle with one of the national guards. He is not so
young as the others ; and although rather handsome, has a
determined expression of oountenance, which, if I mistake
not, marks him as well calculated for mischief. He had
no flag on this evening. The mob gradually aggregates as
they do in London, by the stopping of passengers and others,
who assemble from curiosity ; and there might be at ono
time from 2 and 3000. At last the active central force be-
came more numerous and noisy. They placed a plasard on
a wall near to the front of the Palace, and being
dark, had candles held that it might be read.—
I endeavoured to get near enough to peruse it; but the
number who were anxious to do the same, prevented me
from attaining my object. I was told, however, that it was
directed against the existing Administration ; and had in it,
" A bas les Ministres-4 bas M. Guizot " :Nothing can
be more unjust than the unpopularity of that truly respect-
able man—M. Guizot ; and it is evident these mobs are got
up by artful enemies to the Ministry. The National Guards,
at last, by marching three or four a-breast, drove, or rather
gently pushed, the mob before them, till they cleared the
Palais Royal, and then the assemblage continu ed in the
space at the end of the Rue St. Honore. The shopkeepers
of Paris are truly alarmed at these proceedings, and some
of them, in the immediate vicinity, endeavour to persuade
the decent part of the mob to withdraw. Late at night
the mob became less, by the retirement of the more respect-
able; and the more noisy marched down the street, on their
way, it was said, to Vincennes.

'have been out all this morning to gain intelligence, and
I learn that the mob went absolutely to Vincennes, and were
joined by parties of country people on the road, with a view
to drag forth the unfortunate objects of their wrath ; but
after making a riot there, retired again as they went. They
declare their intention, it is said, to meet and accomplish
their lawless object to-night ; but all the National Guard
are on duty, and some thousands of them aro gone to
Vincennes, no doubt to protect the prison. The most
daring expression of sentiment I have observe d on t bewails
to-day, is what is chalked on a wall near the left hand cor-
ner of the Palais Royal ; it is—" La tte de Polignac ou
de Louis Phillipe." I have great apprehensions of a serious
riot to-night, and tremble almost to remain with such people.
I must, however, say that the National Guards, on whose
honour the Government have wisely placed entire reliance
appear actuated by a real disapprobation of the riotous acts
of the mob. I fear the Government are too weak—N apo-
leon would soon have made all this smooth. I. L.

CITY, ONE O'CLOCK.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 84 for the Account,
opened at 83, and at present they are 84, with little doing.
The Bears, who have opened a successful campaign, are de-
termined to maintain their ground, and are watching the
movements of the Bulls, who are fighting shy at present :
as it appears, they have had a severe drubbing.
In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet.
CITY, HALF-PAST TWO.

The great agitation which prevailed for these two days
past in the funds has in a great measure subsided, and the
panic which prevailed yesterday it is said was attributed is
the death of the great Scotch agent, who was a Bull of up-
wards of 800,000 consols.
Consols which were done, in the early part of the
morning, at 832, have improved to 84 , for the account,
and 83j 84, for money.

In the Foreign Market all Securities are rather higher,
but no business doing.
A Leeward Island Mail has arrived, which left St. Tho,
mas on the 12th of September, brings letters from Laguira,
of the 29th July.—No political news of consequence.

PARIS, OCT. 19.—The most positive orders have been
issued to the Garde Nationale to disperse by force, if neces-
sary, all groups that may be formed, or attempted to be
formed at the Palais Royale, and in other quarters, this and
succeeding nights. The number of persons arrested dur-
ing last night was beyond 100. I feel bound to remark that,
notwithstanding the very alarming character of the informa-
tion contained in this letter, the Funds have experienced little
variation, and no depression this day,which proves that nothing
serious is apprehended ; but, it must also be observed, that
the recognition of this Government by Russia has contri-
buted to prevent depression.
TIPPEZA RY ELlCTlON.—Measures the moat energetic
and determined will be adopted by the friends of Mr. Wise,
in this country, in the event of any attempt being made to
unseat him. In connection with this subject a meet*
will be held in Clonmel on Taeeday.—Cleassei Advertiser.
