FOR THE STAR.

Pain, APRIL 20.
SlR—Tranquillity is restored in this capital, though I
am sorry to say, not without loss of life. Two bodies were
exposed at the Morgue, which had been pierced with bayo-
nets ; and I have heard of two others since dead from simi-
lar wounds, besides many others who were injured so seri-
ously, as to put their lives in danger. It is most melancholy
to think, that blood should be spilt in the streets, on such
an unimportant occasion. Probably, however, the sacrifice
that has been made in this last instance, will put an end to
commotion—now that it is known that the Government will
no longer be trifled with, and that it is determined to esta-
blish peace at home, as well as abroad, " at any price."
The people in this capital appear to be in no way con-
tented ; they are a restless people, and require to be guided
by a tight rein. A Republic now appears to be uppermost
in their thoughts : they maintain that the late :evolution is
far from being complete—nothing will content them but a
REPUBLIC !—and yet there is little doubt that, if they had
a republic granted them to-morrow, and that the KING, or
General LA FA TETTE, were to consent to become their Pal-
al:oat:7, in less than two months they would discover, that
the Republic was not the thing they meant or expected;
and then, all would be agog for NA poi.zow the Second!

Yesterday was the day fixed for the office for the new
loan ; and although there was a great deal of truckling, I
believe the same parties who offered it at 82f. 10c. have at
length come to the minimum of the Minister-84f. At one
time--and even now—it was maintained by the public, that
the national subscription, which fills up very rapidly, would
supersede the necessity of it. Thefunds have improved, and
have every appearance of firmness.
The news of the successes of the Poles arrives so ra-
pidly, that it will admit of no comparison, but the brilliant
exploits of NAPOLEON. There are repeated rumours, that
Marshal Diebitsch is prisoner, but I fear the news is too
good to be true. It is highly gratifying, however, to
observe, that the vigour, boldness, and rapidity of the Poles,
have prevented the army of the Marshal from concentrat-
ing ; and thus, beating it in instalmeuts, they will no doubt
shortly comrletely annihilate it. The details of the last
grand victory are impatiently expected.
1 forward you the speech of Louis Pitt LLIPPE, on the
prorogation of the Chambers this day, with several papers.
I have time only to add, that a grand fete is expected to
take place on the first of May—the day of Saint Louis;
but there are at present no indications of insubordination or
disturbance.

I remain, your's faithfully, J. L.

THE KING'S SPEECH.
" Gentlemen, Peers, and Deputies,—Eight months hays pseud sins
in this assembly, and in your presence, I accepted the throne, to which
the national will of which yen were the organ called me, and since I

cations expressed in the declaration of the 7th of August, 1830, not
to govern except by the laws, and according to the laws, to muse good
and exact justice to be rendered to every man according to his right,
and to act in every thing with the sok Object et the interest, the happl.
