EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

We have just received, by Express, the Gazette de
France of yesterday, and letters of Tuesday night. The
following is an extract from one of the latter :—" The
Exchange has been much agitated to-day by reports of
violent measures to be adopted by Government ; and the
Funds have fallen in consequence. The Three per Cents.
left off at 78f. 90c. and the Five per Cents. at 105 f. 20c.
It is agreed upon at all hands that either the Ministers
must retire, or have recourse to extraordinary measures.
It is evident that preparations are making already. One
division of the army of Algiers is on its way home; the
others will be successively recalled, and their places sup-
plied by fresh troops. It is understood to be the inten-
tion of Ministers to collect all these troops in the neigh-
bourhood of Paris. Added to the present garrison. they
will form a body of upwards of 50,000 men. If the new
Chamber is hostile, it will be dissolved ; and a new elec-
toral law, published by ordonnance. The Liberal Papers
are suspended, by ordonnance, until after the elections ;
and the people of Paris kept in order by the military.
Between this plan and resigning there is no alternative."
If the intelligence which we have now communicated
be all true, or even that part which is stated as not con-
jectural, we cannot but apprehend a recurrence of revo-
lutionary troubles in France. Most undoubtedly, if the
Kix° shall be bold enough to attempt a dissolution of
the New Chamber, 50,000 men in Paris, we pre-
sume, will not be too numerous a defence for the
executive. The only two pieces of intelligence stated
in the above as positive, are the interruptions to
the Press, and the recall of troops from Algiers.
The former, we think, would prove an injurious step,
although there cannot be a doubt but that the
power of the press in France to excite commotion, is
much more than any power possessed by that important
eagine here. As to the exchange of troops, it is inex-
plicable, on any other grounds than some possible want
of allegiance having been betrayed, either in the troops
at Algiers, or at home. We, very early after the expe-
dition, remarked that the general character of the troops
forming the expeditionary army, might, if known, deve-
lope probably something of the views of the Government
in the undertaking. We must patiently await events.

In yesterday's paper, we ventured to call the atten-
tion of our Readers to a subject we conceive little under-
stood—the present situation of our West India Colonies ;

and stated that we should recur to the subject on some
future occasion. We had not then the intention, how-
ever, to fulfill our promise on the following day ; but as
the object we propose will not be accomplishable in one
paper, we conceive we cannot do better than proceed as
far as we can' now, with the topic which we yesterday
commenced.

We recommended to our readers a tract lately pub-
lished, entitled " Considerations on the present State of

the West India Colonies ;" and we now propose to give
an abridgment of the facts and reasoning, which that
pamphlet contains. This we are compelled to do briefly,
if at all ; and the author will therefore excuse us for any
damp his materials may experience, in the compression.
Although we shall endeavour to use the words of the
author wherever we can, we shall avoid quotation marks/.
that,, in case of injury, the discredit will fall where it
should fall—on the abridgers, not on the original writer.
The author states, that it is now nearly two cen-
turies since the West India Colonies were established,
by the policy of this country, to rear and extend
her trade, shipping, and manufactures, by making
them subservient solely to those purposes. They
formed, in consequence, the stepping stone to
that great sphere of commercial enterprize, for which
England has become pre-eminent ; and its general wealth
has probably been more largely extended through them,
than by any other channel.
According to the official returns printed by order of
the House of Commons, the imports fronz.these colonies,
even now, amount to nearly nine millions sterling, or
upwards of one-fifth of the whole import trade of Great
Britain. The exports amount to upwards of four mil-
lions. The imports into Ireland amount to 590,0001.1
or considerably more than one-third of the whole foreign
imports of that country; the exports to 428,000, whilst

the whole amount of exports thence to foreign countries
do not exceed 763,0001. To this statement add that this
trade annually employs 438,000 tone of shipping, and
23,000 seamen.
Having thus made this statement of the importance to
the commerce of Great Britain, of her West India Co•

lonies—a statement which we conceive cannot be dis-
puted—the author proceeds to display the causes which at

present exist to destroy these colonies, and to terminate
all the commercial advantages which might be derivable
from them. To protect the industry of those colonies,
ought, he maintains, to be the subject of anxious
care to every individual in the kingdom : for their pros-
perity is identified through the widest ramifications.

_
If we can, conveniently, to-morrow, we will communi-
cate the author's view of the peculiar hardships which the
West India Colonial Interest is now compelled to suffer,
and the causes of such hardships.

Advice' from Batavia, to the 17th February, furnish
us with the full particulars of the recent events there.
It appears that DEPO NEGORO had not given himself
up to the Dutch ; but that in a desperate attack at the
head of his forces, on their entrenchments, he had
been wounded and taken prisoner. This chief, though
one of the instigators of the revolt, was by no means
the most influential. The indefatigable enemy of the
Dutch, the Sultan of PALEMBANG, in conjunction
with the inferior Sultans of the Isles of Sunda, was
the prime fomenter of the disturbances; and used every
means to annoy the Netherlands Government. So far
from having experienced any check, this Sovereign is said
to have obtained a decided advantage, in a sanguinary
conflict, which took place during the latter pert of Jan.
about the period that DEPO NEG 0 RO, in another quarter,
had been captured. The forces of this chieftain aro re-
ported to have soon recovered from their consternation at
the loss of their leader ; and had approached so near the
Dutch Establishment, as to cause serious inquietude.
The Count Duszas had, in consequence, sent a superior
Officer to treat with them ; and not, as was reported, to
secure DEPO NEGORO, who had then been a prisoner
ten days. It was thought nothing would restore tran-
quillity to the beautiful, but most burthensome colony,
but the yielding to the Malay population a certain portion
of those privileges at present entirely monopolized by the
Europeans.

By accounts from Germany, we learn that in 1829 the
population of Vienna consisted of 289,785 inhabitants ; of
which 142,654 were males, and 147,131 females. The
number of births had been 15,291 legitimate children, of
which 6,999 were boys; and 5,474 natural children, of
which 2,197 were female. The number of deaths had
been 13.829, of which 7,295 were males. Of these
4,588 died before attaining their first year; 1,175 before
four years; 1,186 from four to twenty years ; 2,470 from
twenty to forty ; 2,087 from forty to sixty ; 1,924 from
sixty to eighty ; 337 from eighty to one hundred ; and
from beyond one hundred. During the year there had
not been a single person condemned to death.

MILITARY INSPECTION BY THE KlNG.—This being
the anniversary of the Battle of Salamanca, was chosen
for the inspection of the First Regiment of Guards, who
covered themselves with glory on that important day.
The colours were ornamented with laurel leaves, and the
officers and privates wore the same honourable emblem.
A little after ten, his MAJESTY arrived, accompanied by
his Grace of WELLINGTON, and a brilliant staff. The
Dukes of GLOUCESTER, SUSSEX, CUMBERLAND, SAXE
COBURG, Prince GEORGE of CUMBERLAND—in his
fancy hussar uniform—Lord HILL, the Marquis of
ANGLISEA-•.160 wore a splendid hussar uniform—and
a great number of other general and staff officers, were
present. Her MAJESTY, accompanied by several noble
ladies, also graced the scene. His MAJESTY and suite
now peened the grand line, the bands playing, and
the colours lowered, amidst the deafening shouts
of the people. The KING also inspected the
different columns, and resumed his station in front
of the whole line. The troops then advanced
before his Majesty, and gave a royal salute : they then
went through their various evolutions with great pre-
cision. His Majesty complimented the Duke of Wel-
lington on the anniversary of the battle. The Duke
appeared in high spirits. The Royal Dukes wore splen-
did uniforms. His Majesty was dressed as a Field
Marshal. The spectators were immense, who frequently
cheered his Majesty. Between eleven and twelve the
scene closed.

CITY, TWELVB O'CLOCK.

This being pay-day in the Consol Market, one de- I
faulter has been declared—an old member—but not of the
first rate ; therefore the losses will not be of great con-
sequence.
Consols opened at the price they left off yesterday,
920 for the Account, ex dividend, since which they have
receded to 92*. Owing to the French Funds coming
lower by the Express this morning, Console for Money 92 j.
In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet.
The following intelligence from the Spanish Frontiers
was received at Paris by the Telegraph :—" Five hun-
dred head of cattle having been carried off by the Spa-
niards, from the disputed pasture lands on the Frontiers,
and 5 Deputies, who had been sent on the 11th inst. to
claim restitution of them, having received no satisfaction,
fifteen hundred men have assembled in the Valley of
Baygine to march against the Spaniards. The autho-
:thee of the 11th military division, upon being informed
of this movement, ordered troops to be marched on that
point.
Extract of a letter from the Havannah :—" In future,
every vessel entering this port, must pay eight dollars for
stamp paper. No foreign vessels of war are now in
port. The Soberano, 54, is ready, and will sail for Cadis
en the 20th June, with a convoy. The Hero, 74, and
the Lealad, are repairing. Commodore Labord, with
the frigate Restauration, and a corvette, is still on the
windward cruise."

CITY, HALT-PAST ONE.
The Consol Market appears to be looking up, Consols
92fj for the Account; and 92“ for Money. No other
defaulter has been declared since our twelve o'clock re-
port, who is a person with a large family, and has in the
house 14s. in the pound, which they refuse to take. This
has not the appearance of English humanity to one of
their old companions.
The affairs of Algiers are now settled, and we cannot
expect much further important news from that quarter.
The speculators are now looking to the approaching meet-
ing of the French Chambers; and it is very doubtful if
the present French Ministry will be able to maintain their
ground.
