SECOND EDITION.

STAR OFFICE, FIVE o'C Loc x .

Since the First Edition of our Paper went to Press, we
have ascertained that an Express has been received in.
town from Paris, dated yesterday morning, announcing
the important fact that a suspension of hostilities had
been agreed on between the National Guard and the
people of Paris; that the KING, seeing the error into
which his Ministers had led him, had sent for a select
body of the deputies to meet and arrange with him a plan
for mutual welfare; and that great hopes were enter-
tained of a satisfactory termination of the late disastrous
proceedings.

QUARTER PAST Two.

An express has arrived from Paris, in the city ; but
the contents have gone to the West-end of the town.
We understand that Paris is in the hands of the people.
The Duke of Rnotrss, with a large force is at its gates;
and is determined to starve them out. The KING, with
the Foreign Ambassador is at Vincennes. Great con-
fusion prevails there. Nothing is suffered to go in, or
out, of Paris.

HALF-PAST ONE.

Although from the continued detention of the Es-
tafette poet, and the non-arrival of any expresses from
Paris, we are without letters from France this morning,
yet from passsengers who left the French capital late on
Wednesday, some information of considerable moment
has been gleaned. It is stated by them that in those
parts of Paris where the military have been stationed,
but particularly in the Palais Royal, the firing of mus-
ketry continued, and much blood had been shed, and that
the populace had taken possession of the arsenal,
from which they were arming themselves. In those
points of the capital where the soldiers were not placed,
tranquillity prevailed, but business was suspended.
Vast numbers of English families, having failed in pro-
curing passports, had left the capital without any, and
were hurrying to the coast. The Lady of the British
Ambassador, Lady STEW AET DE ROTII SA Y, is said to
have left the French capital, and to have arrived at
Calais. Reports were current on Wednesday evening
that Lyons was in a state of revolt, and that the insur-
rection was spreading through the Departments. We
found, by the Dover letters, that it was reported there,
that Government had sent over two steam vessels, to
take on board the English of Calais and Boulogne ; and
it was expected several ships of war would be sent to
cruise :in the Channel. Greater numbers are said to
have perished in this conflict, than at any similar one
during the whole revolution.

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
When the public anxiety is so great, in regard to the
revolution at Paris, it will be acceptable to our readers
to give every detail on the subject that comes to our
knowledge ; and the following is from a Gentleman, of
the first respectability, who left Paris on Wednesday
evening, and was an eye-witness to all that was passing :
—The tri-coloured flag was black, white, and red ; and
paraded about the streets, mounted on swords, pikes, and
pistols. The red flag was also hoisted on NAtre Dame,
and the white flag taken down and destroyed. The
greatest slaughter, during the firing of the cannon II
and musketry, took place, in the quarters of Saint
Martin, Saint Denis, and Boulevard des Nouveautis,
where the trees were cut down, and placed by the popu-
lace across the streets, as a barricade against the hosts
of the line. All the manufacturers at Paris have dis-
charged their workmen ; the arsenal of Paris was taken
at two o'clock on Wednesday morning, and the arms dis-
tributed to the people ; but it was again re-taken, with
the loss of five hundred men. All the theatres were
broken open, and fire-arms and swords taken from them.
—The firing continued, by platoons and cannon, from
eleven o'clock on Wednesday morning, till three o'clock
in the afternoon. A placard was posted up at Paris, that
the KING had been overtaken at Orleans ; but the fact
is, no one knows where he is gone. The Peers demanded
an interview with him, but he refused to see them.
—The Duchess de Berri also signified to his Majesty,
that if he persisted to take away the liberty of the people..
• it would be the overthrow of his Government. The King

ordered her immediately to travel ; and it is said she is
at Boulogne, under an assumed name. When the Gentle-

man left Paris, several parts of the capital were still lined
with troops : and a cavalry regiment of the Xing 's body
guard was marching in. It was the general opinion
there, that the people would never remain quiet, until the
King gave up the throne.

We hasten to lay before our readers all the intelli-
gence we can collect on the state of France. Under the
present interruption to • all regular communication, it is
impossible to ascertain what reports may be deserving of

foundation, and what not. We shall best serve our
readers, we conceive, by transferring to our columns
every thing in the form of information that we may re-
ceive in the course of the day, from quarters to which we
have usually been indebted for accurate intelligence.—
We shall insert nothing but what we receive by such
channels of French intelligence ; at the same time, our
readers will bear in mind that these channels, under pre-
sent circumstances, may prove very imperfect conveyers
of truth. We must leave our readers to judge of the
probabilities of what we may communicate.
Whether the popular party are already so completely
master of the field, as the existing reports would infer,
mus still be a matter of some doubt ; but the fact of an
existing revolutionary contest, of the most terrific de-
scription, is beyond all doubt. Indeed the resemblance
between the news arriving from France, and that descrip-
tive of similar scenes, which must have occurred at the
breaking out of the Revolution, strikes every person who
has attended to the history of that volcano.
In addition to the original intelligence which we now
communicate, we have extracted from all our contempo-
raries, every piece of information not derived from our
own sources ; and we shall continue to do so. In the exe-
cution of this task, our readers will find in another co-
lumn, an extract from the Brighton Herald, received this
morning, which we give, like all such extracts, without
comment.

The present state of France is a subject of such ex-
treme interest, and engrosses so entirely the public mind,
that domestic transactions, which, at other times, would
have attracted a considerable share of attention, appear
to be quite unnoticed. The election, indeed, does not
promise its usual excitement. The City remains undis-
turbed ; and the feeble attempt to disturb the quiet of the
Borough of Southwark, we anticipate, cannot be of long
duration. Mr. Hu me seems likely to have no competi-
tor in Middlesex ; and it is very improbable that
any fool will be found, to waste a few thousands
on the good thirsty souls who might relish an op-
position to the two popular Members for Westminster.
In the country not many of the counties are to be
contested. The county of York is preparing to afford
another proof of its independence and good sense, in elect-
ing,
as their representative, one of the most valuable men
that ever conferred splendour on any age or country—
we need not say we so designate Mr. Baouon Am. An
attempt was made at Abingdon by a Mr. MAITLAND,
to oust that useful, and independent member, Mr. MA-
BHRLv ; but the good sense of that respectable town
was not so far abandoned as to afford him any counte-
nance in the attempt.
It is but due to the present administration to remark,
that they display a more dignified conduct in abstaining
much more from what, to borrow a phrase from the Scot-
tish law, might be called "vicious internteddling," than
any preceding administration that we recollect.

CITY, TWELYK O'CLOCK.

In addition to the accounts published in our last, of
the disastrous effects of the heavy rains in several of the
West India Islands, subsequent arrivals bring intelligence
that at Antigua and St. Vincent, they have also suf-
fered severely; at Antigua timber was selling at from 24
dollars to '25, payable in produce.
The public are greatly sueprised at the express from
Paris not having been received, which causes the great-
est anxiety ; and great fears are entertained that the
slaughter has not yet finished. If an express does not
arrive within a few hours, the barriers must be closed.

Consols which left off yesterday at 9011 i for the Ac-
count, opened this morning at 91. nothing doing. The
speculators are waiting for an arrival from Paris.

CITY, H.4LF-PAST ONE.

There is all anxiety in the City, owing to a report that
an Express had arrived from Paris, and the contents not
having transpired. All that we can say on the subject is,
no Express has arrived, as yet, at the regular quarter.
We have a report that the King of France has gone to-
, wards Brussels, and that General La Fayette has the
command of the Natinal Guards.

Consols have lowered since the early part of the nam-
ing, when they were at 91 ; at present may be quoted
90ii, with little doing, as the speculators will not ven-
ture before they have further accounts from Paris. In
Shares nothing doing. Phoenix Gas 7 pm.; South Me-
tropolitan Gas, 2i pm.; Independent, 8 pm.

Mrs. H— was on the point of her accoachment at
Paris. A priest of the foreign missions was her con-
fessor, the father o—. This priest advised her to
recommend herself to the prayers of, the Prince Hohen-
lohe, to obtain a happy delivery flea Heaven. The con-
fossor charged himself with the coseespondence. The
Prince prescribed to Mrs. H— to hear a mass, which
would be read in the church of the foreign missions by
her confessor; he pointed oat the day and hour when
this mass was to coincide with one he should himself say
at the same moment. Moreover, Mrs. H— was
to pay 100 guineas towards the exigencies of the church.
Mrs. H— conformed scrupulously to the whole
prescription. She died in child-bed three days after-
wards. Lord N. resided at Paris, in the rue de
sieur. He was dangerously ill. He sent for the
Father o—, from the foreign missions, to confess him,
who likewise proposed to him to recommend himself to
the prayers of Prince Hohenlohe. The Prince prescribed
in the same way as he had done in the case of Mrs. H—,
a mass at the fixed day and hour, and a gift of 100 gui-
neas to the church. Lord N. obeyed, and died the next
day. Mrs. M— srepared for her departure to
Italy. The same Abbe 0. • • was her confessor likewise.
She consented to his proposal to recommend herself to the
prayers of Prince Hohenlohe to obtain the blessings of
Heaven for her journey. The Prince enjoined Mrs. M.
to hear a mass, to be read by her confessor at the church of
St. Joseph. He fixed, as in both the preceding instances,
the day and hour. 'Mrs. M— was moreover to offer a
sum of 100 guineas, under the invocation of St. Joseph,
when the mass was heard ; and, when the 100 guineas
were paid, Mrs. M— set out on her journey, fell of con-
fidence. She had scarcely arrived in the Italian terri-
tory when her carriage was attacked by a gang of rob.
bers. when the lady had her arm broken, and her
daughter was killed!
