LONDON.

WILLIAM theTIIIRD,as be was called," of glorious and
immortal memory"—although upon those epithets we
could say a few words, had we time.
What we have said is not inconsistent with our views
as to the probable results of the late revolution, with re-
ference to European politics. We are not apprehensive
of war from the volition of our Ministers, but from the
incalculable change in political relations which the
earthquake may produce. But let us not dwell on evil
predictions—let us act as the feelings of all, at
present dictate, with ardent admiration and sentiments of
esteem towards the new Court of France, and with ge-
nerous becoming hospitality towards the exiled.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

We have received a packet of lettere and journals from

our Private Correspondent at Paris, dated Tuesday, 17th ;
and the following extracts contain matter which will not
be found in any of the Morning Papers :

Paris, August 17, 1830.
The Chamber of Peers assembled yesterday, and pro-

. . .
ceeded to the formatiou of its Bureaux.
Chamber of Deputies. Order of the day for the 17th
of August, 1830, at 12 o'clock. Public Sitting. Re-
port on various Commissions.

On Sunday evening, his Majesty transacted busi-
ness with the Ministers of Marine, of Public In-
struction, and of Foreign Affairs. Yesterday the
King held a Council of Ministers, which sat in deli-
beration from ten till twelve o'clock. His Majesty after-
wards transacted business with the Minister of Justice.
Deputations from Versailles, St. Germain en Laye,
beaded by their representatives in the Chamber of Depu-
ties, had the honour of being received by the King, who
afterwards was waited upon by the professors of the " Gar-
den of Plants." Count Pozzi di Borgo, Russian Ambas-

aador, had the honour of an audience of the King, at nine
o'clock on Sunday evening.

Yesterday morning, at eight o'clock, the ex-King passed
through Falaise, on his way from Argent= to Conde-
sur-Noireau. Between fifty and sixty vehicles, with
the persons of his household, preceded the cortege ;
there were about 1,500 persons, including the Body
Guards. The number of horses was still more con-

siderable. In passing through the town, Charles X.
was reading a despatch very attentively The Duke
d'Angouleme saluted the people, as did- the children.
The Duchess d'Angouleme and the Duchess de Berri
appeared much affected. Charles X.was apparently in good
health. He alighted at the inn outside the town, and
took a glass of water. A breakfast was prepared for him
at a small seat belonging to M. Bellencontre. The ex-
King, did not, however, stop at this place ; but a little
farther on, half a mile from the town, at a mean looking
inn, where he breakfasted, in a room frequented by
workmen. The family was seated on forms, and, during
the breakfast the public formed a circle around them.
This scene lasted at least one hour. The party con-
versed with several different persons of various classes.
They afterwards continued their journey.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 19
Despatches were this morning received in town from
Portsmouth, since which it has been reported that
CHARLES X. and his suite had landed there. Be this
as it may, it was only this afternoon that the Duke de
CliotastuL, the Minister of CaLtatzs, had his first in-
terview with the Duke of WELLINGTON, at his office in
Downing-street. The LORD CHANCELLOR and the
Earl of ASERDEN were present at this interview. The
Duke de Citoiszur., and the Duke of LOUXEMBOURG,
are residing at the hotel in Jermyn-street.

The following is a letter addressed by the Duke of
Ragusa to a Lady resident in Paris :
" L'Aigle, Aug. 6, 1830.
" DEAR FRIEND.—Have you ever witnessed a fata-
lity like that which attends me ? Am I not crushed by
a hand of iron ? You, who know my sentiments and
opinions, think of what I have to suffer now. My only
consolation is the thought, that it was not in my power
to act otherwise than I have. You recollect the dispo-
sition of my mind on Monday the 26th, aid how our
manner of seeing and thinking agreed, in opposition to
another person; and how little I dreamt of what would befal
me. On Tuesday, at half-past 11,the King sent for me, told
me that there was some disturbance at Paris, and desired
me to take the command, and restore order. Order, slightly
disturbed, was restored without much effort, and the night
was quiet. But at five o'clock in the morning, groups
were formed, and had become hostile ; I ordered the troops
to take up arms ; it was necessary for me to try and
check disorders committed before my eyes, for fear of
being accused of encouraging them—hence a serious con-
flict ensued. In the evening I rallied my troops, giving
up all offensive operations, as it was no longer a mere in-
surrection, but a Revolution. By three o'clock my opi-
nion was fixed. I made a report, and I repeatedly asked
for orders to treat. On Thursday I abstained from all
hostility ; but I renounced my defensive position in order
to preserve the Tuileries. We were assailed by the firing
of muskets, which we scarcely returned. I did not allow
a cannon to be fired ; and I sent the Major to announce
that every thing would be settled in order to appease the
assailants. Every thing seems to go wrong, when
regiments turn sides. An attack was directed on
the Louvre, which is an impregnable post ; but a
panic seized the Swiss who defended it; their flight caused
that of the troops on the Carousel, and of myaelf,who had
only time to mount my horse. Several men were killed by
my side, as I passed under the triumphal arch. I rallied
60 men, to give time for the troops to form themselves
under the clock pavilion, and fought with them in the court
of the Tuileries,to drive back those who bad entered it; and
I afterwards formed my rear-guard with this handful of men.
Have you ever seen any thing like it? to fight against our
fellow citizens in spite of us ; do a deal of mischief to them,
and be conquered at last! Is there anything wanting to make
me completely miserable?—and the future ! the unjustiopi-
Dion that will be formed about me. My refuge is my
conscience. How many things I wish to tell you! How
much business ! I accompany the King to Cherbourg.
When he is in safety, my mission will be at an end. I
shall quit France, and wait to see what the future has in
reserve for me : I shall have courage to support it, what-
ever it may be. You will always love and pity me.--
When I shall have left the King, I will publish an ac-
count of what concerns me in these fatal events.—Adieu!
Write to me at Cherbourg, poste restante, under the
name of—"
The following note has been communicated by the
Minister of War :—" Several journals, upon the faith of
private letters from ill-informed correspondents, have an-
nounced that an insurrection has broken out at Algiers.
We have it in our power to contradict these rumours.
The despatches received by the Minister of War, subse-
quent to that assigned to the insurrection at Algiers,
make no mention of it, and up to the date of Aug. 7,
give no details which lead to the anticipation of such an
event "
---a% MONTMORENCY LAVAL.

The Public are now principally intent on watching
any point connected with the reception of the abdicated
French Monarch ; which may be supposed to indicate his
future views : or, what are more important to the people
of this country, the future views of our own Government.
We are not in the least apprehensive that our Ministers
will advise any procedure towards him, that would indicate
the slightest intention to acknowledge or encourage any at-
tempts to bemade by either himself, or race, for restoration
to the Throne, which he lately occupied. The decided pa-
cific policy which the Duke of WELLINGTON'S adminis-
tration has pursued—not only through evil report and
good report, but under circumstances, in our sense,
tempting to a contrary course—leaves no grounds for the
conjecture, that without some great change in conduct
towards us on the part of the French Government,
which shall change the position, and the interests of
this country, any sentiments will be evinced in the
present early days of King PHILLIP THE FIRST'S
reign, but those of amity. It is said, and said truly,
that our Financial situation, would render war ruinous to
Great Britain ; or, more definitely speaking, ruinous to
the present system of our public credit. But no one
can deny that we might carry on war at the sacrifice
of prudence; and we think no one can deny, that
such a war would be momentarily popular to a very
large and influential mass of the community ; who, hay-
ing been ruined by peace, look towards war for a resti-
tution of that opulence which they once possessed. A
class of society—and, alas! we fear a very numerous
one exists—who watch every breath of wind from a war-
like quarter, with the same anxiety and excitement of
spirit, as the Arab of the Desert inhales the first puff of
air, indicative of the departure of the devastating sirrocco.
It is evident, therefore, that were our Administration cor-
ruptly bent on present influence and present popularity, at
tin expense of future national prosperity—or rather of the
safety of our financial system—it never would have waited
until this juncture for rushing into war. We believe
war has been avoided ; and war, as far as it can be
consistent with the interests and character of the coun-
try. will be avoided ; because war cannot be made
without ultimately, as HUME said, near a century ago,
" placing those in the carriage, on the box."
We therefore expect, on the present occasion, that his
M A J EST Y'S Ministers will identify themselves in senti-
ment with the majority of his MAJESTY'S sub-
jects and readily acknowledge the legitimacy of the
power which has placed PHILLIP the Pim on
the throne,almost exactly under analOgous circumstances,
to those which placed on the throne of Great Britain

race of Arabs that still remain in a state of hostility.
Three of the principal chiefs that were instigators
of the late conspiracy against the French have
been hung; and their bodies left for three days
exposed to the people, as a warning to constrain them
to submission. The Lazaretto at Marseilles is so com-
pletely filled with the sick of the African army, that it
can contain no more ; and orders have been given for
opening our beautiful hospital of St. Mondrier for the
purpose of receiving them."

For some days past, agents of discord have endeavoured
to stir up the working classes. Provocation, and even
money, has been offered to excite them to commit ex-
cesses. They have been told that, by breaking the ma-
chinery—that is to say, by destroying the manufactories,
and obliging them to be shut up, they would create em-
ployment for themselves, and be enabled to live in abun-
dance. Meetings have been held at several points ; but
hitherto the good sense of the population has rejected
perfidious suggestions ; and the workmen have wisely ab-
stained from the excesses to which they have been insti-
gated. The love of order, of which they have given
such admirable proofs, will triumph over the efforts made
to mislead them.—Courier Francois.

On Sunday morning about 1,500 artisans and work-
men of the capital held a meetings for the purpose
of preparing a petition to the Prefect of Po-
lice, against the employment of foreigners in the
capital ; and proceeded to the prefecture, headed by
two officers of the National Guards, in the greatest
order and regularity. On their arrival in the Court
they drew up in a semicircle, and requested to speak
to the Prefect (M. Girod de l'Ain) who immediately
came down to them. They received him with the
greatest respect, each taking off his hat, and calmly
and fully stated the object of their application. The
Prefect having listened to them with the greatest at-
tention, endeavoured to convince them that their pe-
tition was inadmissible—that competition was even of
advantage to themselves, as it excited emulation and
promoted improvement—that it would be unjust to ex-
pel men who had settled here with their families under
shelter of the laws ; and who, by their labour and skill,
contributed to the wealth of the country ; and that it
might draw down reprisals upon the French, who in
like manner were employed at London, Berlin, and
Vienna ; and whereby, from every hundred men sent
from France, as many would be returned from each of
those foreign capitals. He called upon them, therefore,
to renounce a pretension which had not arisen from
themselves, but had been suggested by insidious men,
eager for disturbance, and jealous of the liberty they
had purchased with their blood. The men appeared
to be impressed both with the good sense and truth of
these arguments ; and retired with the same order and
regularity as they came.

To meet the momentary embarrassment experienced
by the commerce of Paris, the Council General of the
Bank, at a special meeting held on Friday last, deter-
mined that the Bank, deviating in this particular instance
from its statutes,would, during one month from the day of
meeting, discount commercial bills of exchange, drawn
upon unstamped paper. M. Le Royer, an officer of the
Staff of the National Guards, with a detachment, went
on Sunday to the Cemetry of Pere la Chaise, and
hoisted the tri-coloured flag upon the tomb of General
Foy. On passing the grave of Marshal Ney, the
detachment halted, and rendered military honours
to the ashes of the " bravest of the brave." A
rumour prevailed yesterday of a serious affray having
taken place on Sunday evening at the Barracks des Mi-
nimes, near the Place Royale, in which several persons
had lost their lives. Upon enquiry, it turned out, that a
party of Gendarmes, who formerly occupied the barracks,
had gone to claim some effects which they had left be-
hind, and they were opposed by the National Guards. A
dispute ensued, but no blood was shed, and order was
speedily restored. All the posts, however, of the Na-
tional Guards, were doubled last night. A scene
took place yesterday morning in the Place Ven-
dome, which might have been attended with serious
consequences. Colonel Plazanet, Commander of the
Sapeurs Pompiers, mustered his corps for a review, or
inspection; but his men refused to obey, and insisted upon
his dismissal on the ground. It is said, that during the
late events he had persisted in endeavouring to force
his men to fire on the people, notwithstanding their
refusal. The Commander of the Garrison of Paris,
with his Staff, came from the Etut Major, and,
after some difficulty, succeeded in inducing the men
to retire to their quarters, and was conducting the Co..
lonel to the Hotel of the Etat-Major, when the populace
broke in upon them, and handled the Colonel very
roughly—in such a manner as will give him cause to re-
member the day. It was with much difficulty that he
was released from his perilous situation, and he certainly
owed his life to the interference of the brave Col. Fabvier,
who pledged himself for his patriotism.

It is a pleasure to insert the followinghonourable men-
tion of our countryman, Mr. Roberts; and the more so as I
our correspondent informs us,that even the praise bestowed ;
on the talented gentleman by the Constitutionnel, and other
Paris papers, falls far short of what is due to him, for
the zeal he displayed on the memorable days of the 27th,
28th, and 29th of July, was only equalled by the coura- ,
geous resistance of the brave Parisians, to the infamous
ordonnances of the infatuated Charles I.—" Humanity I
is of no party : and we cannot withhold our mead of praise
from the benevolent exertions of Mr. Roberts and his
associates, Messrs. Moore and Budgett. Every branch
of the Surgical Dispensary in the Place Vendome was put
in full requisition. Each vied with the other in rendering
assistance to the wounded combatants—even the sheets
from the beds were torn up for bandages, and every at-
tention that skill or benevolence could dictate was sup-
plied. We are happy to find that the example so lau-
dably set by Mr. Roberts, has been followed by many
others of his countrymen."

The law of elections presented yesterday does not ap-
pear to us to be a very brilliant debut for Ministers.
What amendment does it propose besides the changes
already mentioned in the new Charter? None what-
ever ! Still the same qualification of 300 f. for taxes
for an election, and what is worse still, the same qua-
lification of 1000 f. for a Member ! It will be said that
this may be remedied by amendments originating with
the Chamber itself. But Ministers have mistaken their
position in not taking the lead. They have the air of
hoping that the Chamber will be as over-weeningly
timid as themselves; that thus the law will pass as it is;
that the choice of the electors thus circumstanced within

distrust, and risking the loss of popularity.—Courier
Francois.
Ministers have proposed a transitory election law,
the object of which is to abolish the double vote. The
proposition is laudable, for the double vote was one of
the most unpopular acts of the late Government. The
double vote gave to the great landholders a considerable
and fatal influence. The great colleges alone furnished
the minority who had their seats on the DROITE. The
object of this law being altogether transitory, it has been
sought not to touch any of the essential conditions of our
legislation. Thus the qualifying tax, which is one of
the most important conditions of our present legislation,
has net been touched. We certainly approve the inten-
tion of postponing all difficult questions to next session,
and attending during the present session to those only
which are urgent.--National.

The remains of Marshal Ney will shortly be removed
to the Pantheon (Church of St. Genevieve), which is t.)
be restored to its former destination. It is said that the
statue of General Foy is to be placed on the pedestal
erected for that of Louis XVIII. in the Place du Palai4
Bourbon. The Municipal Commission of Paris have de
cided that the execution of criminals shall cease to b..
carried into effect in the Place de Gri.ve, as that spot si
been illustrated by the blood of the victims in the cau4o
of liberty.

PARIS STOCK EXCHANGE, AUG. 16, FIVE o'CLock.
—Very large sales have been made to day, and much
anxiety in the market. The price of Stocks has expe-
rienced a very considerable fall, although towards the
close of the day an improvement took place upon previous
quotations. For money, the 5 per Cents. have fallen 95e;
the 4 per Cents. lir. 50; the 3 per Cents. 1 fr. 60c ;
Haytian, 15fr; Guebhard's, 2 ; Neapolitan have risen
50c ; Cortes, ; Rentes Perpkuelles, 1. For the enci
of the month the 5 per Cents. have declined Ifr. 10c ;
the 3 per Cents. lfr. 30c ; Neapolitan, 50 ; the Itente3
Perpkuelles have improved 21.

Letters from Madrid, of the Bth inAtant, show that,
at that period, there had not been the least disturb-
ance in any part of the country, though the public
mind was evidently much agitated. A Council had
been held at the Granja, to deliberate on the measures
to be taken.

P. S. All the print-shop are filled with portraits,
and scenes, from Buonaparte's battles, which are placed
more prominent than formerly ; and last night I observed
some silk handkerchiefs in the first draper's shops, wit It
a very elegant symbol printed in the centre. It was an
eagle with the tri-coloured flag in its claws, hovering
over the grave of Napoleon at St. Helena.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
By the Estafette letters this morning from Paris, we
have received the price of the French 3 per cents. 77 35.
The letters do not bring any news of importance—all
was tranquil.
The public are anxiously waiting to hear the result of
our Ministers in regard to Charles X. and his family, if
they are to remain in this country. Consols, which left
off yesterday at 911, buyers, opened at the same price
and at present they are 91i i for the Account. Although
Spanish Bonds come from Pads 3 per cent. higher, 20,
it has not made any impresoion in the market.
Montreal papers have been received at the North and
South American Coffee House to the 16th July. They
give a statement of the value of the cargoes of the dif-
ferent vessels arrived at Montreal during the quarter
ending on the sth of July, of British manufactured goods
paying 21 per cent. duty, the gross total is 419,0431. 6s.
Philadelphia Papers to the 21st of July have been re-
ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house.
From the paper of the 20th July
VERA Cauz, 21st June.—By to-day's mail we learn
that the army of the Government have experienced a
reverse near Acapateo, by the forces under Guerero and
Minez. The official paper is silent on the subject ; but
the news may be relied on. Letters differ according to
their politics ; one party representing the affair as a com-
plete route of Bravo's forces, and the other as a strata-
gem ; the sole object of which was the possession of hi.,
person, and then add, that it will not improve the stabi-
lity of the Government.
From Rio Janeiro Papers to the sth of June, which
contain the reply of the Chamber of Deputies to the
speech from the throne ; it intimates that the army and
navy require essential reform, adverts to the expediency
of encouraging emigration from foreign countries, and
renders a thousand thanks to his Majesty for dismissing
his Ministers.

CITY, HALF PAST ONE.
We are positively informed that our Ministers had no
information of Charles the Tenth's coming to this country.
It is stated he has landed in the Isle of Wight.
