FASTILON.--In addition to the information on LA DIN
Fashions, which we extracted yesterday from the Lady'.
Magazine, we are confidently informed, that the long
continued fashion of crosses is to be entirely abolished.
Several Ladies of the highest distinction have united to
testify, at once, their dislike to all distinctive badges
of religious differences in a country, where fortu-
nately, in reality, none now exist, and their loyalty
to hts present MAJESTY by the disuse of the equivocal
symbol. We understand that flukes are in future to be
added to the cross; and that the anchor will be displayed
as the elegant and appropriate appendage to the necklaces
of the British Fair, for the ensuing season, which, it is
anticipated, will be more than usually abundant in gaity
and splendour. The anchor will form an elegant article
of hijouterie ; and, as a symbol of hope, may encourage
the attacks of the gentlemen, on the hearts over which
they are suspended.
Whatever may be the King's conceptions of the gene-
ral merits of the Cabinet in being on his Majesty's acces-
sion to the Crown, there can be little of the high personal
esteem entertained by William the Fourth for the indivi-
dual at the head of that Cabinet. At the entertainment
lately given to their Majesties at Apsley-house, the King,
in the course of the evening, pronounced an elaborate pane-
gyric on the Duke of Wellington, lauding his Grace as
the saviour of the country, and at once the most consum-
mate soldier and statesman of all time. His Majesty
concluded by giving the Dukes health, and desiring all
the foreign ambassadors present to report to their several
courts the grateful sentiments entertained by the King of
England towards so well-deserving a subject. We re-
port this incident, not that we think his Majesty's per-
sonal predilection for the Duke likely to retard that mo-
dification which his Grace's Cabinet must inevitably
undergo, in order to fit it to perform with effect the-
functions of Government. We tell the tale as we have
heard it. leaving those who know the King best to think
just what they please of this affair, as of the thousand
other strange incidents rumoured since his accession.—
Chronicle.

WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—This day the two Representa-
tives of this borough in Parliament, Mr. Ramsbottom.
and Lieut.-General Sir Hussey Vivian, were unanimously
re-elected, upon which occasion they both addressed the
burgesses in very energetic and appropriate speeches,
which were received with great applause. After going
through the usual form of chairing, dre. the two Members
proceeded, in a barouche and four, to the houses of their
different constituents, to whom they returned their grate-
ful thanks fur the honour conferred upon them.
His Majesty and suite paid a visit to the village of
Teddington yesterday, and was most heartily welcomed
by the gentry and inhabitants of the place. Various
triumphal arches were constructed, of flowers and ever-
greens, over the main passes of the village, and beauti-
ful silken banners and flags, healing the royal arms, anti
appropriate devices were exhibited in various directions,
in manifestation of the true spirit of loyalty and attach-
ment with which the country people at present abound.
Most of our readers in Gainsborongh and the neigh-
bourhood will remember an old man of the name of Mat-
thew Hardcastle, who died only a few years since ; but
the kindness and benevolence of the Duke of Clarence
towards him were not so generally known. The old
man had, after the death of his wife, fallen into great
poverty, and after selling what he could, was com-
pelled to have recourse to the assistance of the as-
rish. In his distress he thought, by an application
to the Duke, with whom he had formerly sailed tr.
the Prince George, he should be enabled to get into
Greenwich, Hospital, and no remonstrance would prevent
his trying. Accordingly, he borrowed money from a kind
neighbour, obtained a passage to London, and after re-
peated attempts was fortunate enough to find His Royal
Highness at home. After sending in his name, he was
directed to be admitted ; and,as the old man used to say, his
Royal Highness met him in the passage, shook him kindly
by the hand, took him into a room, and, setting a chair
for him, and another close beside for himself, entered
most heartily into a recapitulation of the stories of his
youth, when a midshipman on board the Prince George,
of which Matthew had been master of the magazine, and
in consequence of his situation, somewhat in favour with
the Prince. Upon Matthew's telling his state and his
hopes, his Royal Highness was kind enough to say he
would apply for him, but he feared it was too late. How -
ever, he was to call again the next day but one, when he
would tell him the result. Accordingly Matthew at-
tended his Royal Highness, who told him nothing could be
done as to getting him into Greenwich Hospital: But.
however," said he, " what will make you comfortable,
Matthew ? I will allow you 101. a-year as long as you live ;
and if that won't do, I will help you further. Write me
I when you get home, and let me know that you are got
safe down ;" and, at taking leave, his Royal Highness put
sufficient into his hands to pay his expenses. Matthew
for many years enjoyed this bounty, and was no niggard
in his acknowledgments of the benevolence of the Duke
of Clarence.—Lincoln Mercury.

IMPORTANT NEWS

BT THE PACKET JUST ARRIVED FROM DIEPPE.

FROM 'nu. BRIGHTON HERALD,
This Morning, July 31.

The King of France hasfled—A Battle has taken
place—The King's troops have been driven out of
Paris—The National Guard, commandtd by La
Fayette, is in possession of the City—The Chambers
have declared the Throne vacant! ! !

Such is the astounding intelligence which has
this moment reached us. On Tuesday afternoon,
it was well understood throughout Paris that a ge-
neral meeting of the Oppositionists would take place
in the Bourse, and that La Fayette, at the head of
the late National Guard (whom the Government had
suppressed) would protect their deliberations. The
meeting took place : it represented all the property and
influence of the city. We do not know the precise nature
of the resolutions they entered into ; but the effect of their
meeting was, the assembling, on that evening, of the two
Chambers, who unanimously voted a Remonstrance to the
King, and sent a Deputation to present it to his
Majesty, at St. Cloud. On the arrival of the Deputation
at that Palace, they discovered that the King had fled.
They returned to Paris, and reported the circumstance to the
Chambers, who thereupon declared that CharlestheTenth
had forfeited the Throne. And, at the moment when the
gentleman from whom we derive this information left Paris,
they were deliberatiag upon the form of Government
which it would be expedient to adopt.—While these
meetings were being held, the most sanguinary combats
took place in the streets of Paris, between the King's
troops on the one hand, and the people, aided by the Na-
tional Guard, on the other. The pavements of the streets
were taken up, and carried to the tops of the houses,
and hurled down upon the heads of the soldiers.—
An English Gentleman (whose name our informant
could not learn) on looking out of a window of a
house near Meurice's hotel, in the Rue St. Honore',
was shot (lead by the military ! A party of the Na-
tional Guard got possession of the Tuilleries, after a despe-
rate conflict between them and the King's Swiss Guard, in
which 50 of the latter were killed. Upwards of a thousand
lives, it is supposed, were sacrificed in this desperate
struggle between the King's forces and the inhabitants.
A regiment of Lancers suffered dreadfully. The result
was that the troops were driven out of the city, and on
Tuesday night Paris was under the protection of the
National Guard, commanded by La Fayette. The army
had, however, taken up a position so as completely to cut
off all communications with Paris. And as fresh soldiers
were hourly coming up,—should their spirit be adverse to
the Constitutional cause,—more blood must be spilt be-
fore Absolutism is subdued. The King was supposed to
have gone to Brussels.We could not learn what was become
of his Ministers. A t Rouen, on Thursday, the Editor of the
liberal journal,who determined to resist the late ordinances,
shut up his house, and refused to admit the gene-d'armes,
who had been ordered by the authorities to seize his
presses, &c. Three blacksmiths, who had been sent
for, would not break open the door at the command of
the Commissary of Police. The military were drawn up
in the street near his house to prevent the publication of
his journal. The National Guard had taken up arms
and remained on the other side of the street, watching
the movements of the soldiers—neither party, however,
had resorted to extremities when our informant left. This
fact shows that the feeling which pervades the metropo-
hs, has extended to the provinces. We had forgot to
mention that the National Guard armed themselves by
breaking open the arsenal. Our informant was in the
last vehicle which was allowed to leave Paris on Tuesday
night.

" MANIFESTO TO THE FRENCH-TO ALL PEOPLE
AND TO ALL GOVERNMENTS.

" A solemn Act had, in 1816, laid the basis of a reconciliation
between the French nation and the ancient dynasty, and fixed the
conditions by which the chief of the Bourbon family should resume
and preserve the exercise of the royal authority reiterated oaths
have at different epochs rendered more imperious the obligations
contracted by the chiefs of this family, and had made their Charter
the sole title to the obedience of the French. All these oaths
have been violated during the last sixteen years, by the establish.
meat of a great number of laws, opposed in their spirit and letter
to the spirit of the Constitutional Charter ; but each of the attempts
hitherto made against this fundamental law had an appearance
of legality, and had not exceeded legislative forms, which, while
they had been preserved, offered the means of reparation.—
The French nation, with an equanimity which has often been called
indifference or weakness, has supported itself against all the
inroads of power, all the attacks against its rights, which,
made by the different Administrations which had succeeded
each other under the reign of the astute Louis XVII I.—
as under that of his successor. The national patience, instead of
bringing back the Government to the sentiments of justice, of con.
fidence, of benevolence, had, on the contrary. inspired it with
sufficient audacity to march more openly to the overthrow of our
institutions—to the spoliation of all our rights--to the re.establish-
ment of those principles of Divine right—of those Royal Pre-
rogatives which are in opposition to the interests and the pre-
rogatives of the people, which cannot be regarded otherwise
than as an outrage to human reason, and which England
first stigmatised with her anathemas, and destroyed by her
arms. The Ordonnances of the 25th of the present month, in abo-
lishing the principal guarantees consecrated by the Constitutional
Charter, have set at nought the positive terms of that Charter. and
of well-considered laws, adopted by the two Chambers, and sanc-
tioned by the King according to legal forms, and have at length
taught the nation that the Chief which she had deigned to ac.
knowledge, notwithstanding four years of vices, of corruptions,
and of treasons against his country, wished to govern it by his
own will, and according to the caprices of his own good plea.
sure. By these Ordonnances the Chief of the Government has
pieced himself atore the Law; THEREFORE HE HAS PVT
HIMSELF OUT OF THE PALE OF THE LAW.
In consequence, Charles Philip Capet, formerly Count of Ar-
tois, has ceased of right to be King of France ; the French ate re-
leased from all their obligations to him in that character. All the
Ordonnances which he may promulge, will be like those of the 25th,
cull, and as if they never had been given. The Alinisters composing
the government of the Ex-King, named Pol ignac, Pry 'outlet, klonthel,
dilansser, De Chantelause, and Overturn Renville, ate declared at.
tainted and convicted of high treason. It is the duty of all
Frenchmen to resist, by every means in their power, the orders of
Chalks Phillip Capet, or his agents, under whatever denomination
they may present themselves—to refuse payment of all imposts, and
to take arms, if it should be necessary to put an end to a government
de facto, and to establish a new government dc jure.
• The army is released from its oaths of fidelity to the Ex-King
--its country invokes its concurrence. Charles Phillip Capel--his
self.styled 31inisters or Counsellors, their abettors and adherents,
the Generals, the Chiefs of Regiments and Officers, are responsible
for every effusion of blood resulting from the resistance of the Go-
vtvliment defucto to the national will.
" Louis Phillip of Orleans, Duke of Orleans, is called upon to
fulfil, under the present circumstances, the duties which are imposed
upon him, and to concur with his fellow-citizens In the re-establish-
!Tient of a Constitutional Government ; and on his refusal to do so,
he must, with his fvmily, quit the French territory until the perfect
onsolidation of the new Government has been effected.
