NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

YARMOUTH, MAY 10.— Arrived the Pratt Maria, Bale, master,
with hides and hark, from Hamburgh; and the Hover, Boum, from
Hamburgh to Hull, with a general cargo. Sailed for Labrador, the
Venus, Simmons, with a general cargo.
The Royal Entertainment Committee having met on
Tuesday, for the purpose of hearing the announcement of
the KING'S determination as to whether his MAJESTY
would be pleased to receive the Civic Deputation who were
appointed to invite his MAJESTY to dine at Guildhall on the
20th instant, it was officially communicated by the Chair-
man that the state of his MAJESTY'S health was so uncer-
tain, that he feared, if he accepted the invitation, be might
not be able; when the day arrived, to fulfil his engagement,
and therefore it was with the deepest regret he for the pre-
sent declined accepting it. His MAJESTY begged it dis-
tincdy to be unddrstood that nothing whatever but the state
of his health, and that alone, which might render him unable
to endure the fatigue, induced him to postpone accepting,
for the present,the invitation of the loyal citizens of London.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE EICLUSIFE.
FOR THE STAR.

PARIS, MAT a.
Sts—The spirit of opposition manifests itself here upon every octa-
gon ; and perhaps never in a stronger degree than at present. Really
to govern the French. and to keep them in good humour. it would be
necessary to take a hint from the Irishman, who, when he debited to
delve his pig home, endeavouret; to pat him forward in a contrary
dhicdou. This is positively the character of the French; for they, in
many instances, sacrifice their pride, and their inclinations, for the sake
of oppositition.
Most, if not all, of the heroes of July who were at the Meeting, re.
main staunch to their protest ; and have decorated themselves with the
tinhorn], in despite 0; the ordineuce to the contrary. We are still in the
dark as to the intentions of Goverumene ; but ;t is hinted that the Ring
..oes not intent• to interfcre,goe take any further interest in the affair.
It is not, however, thought the. the phi: of M. Casimir Perrier will
quietly submit to be set at defiance; a..tl it is reported that M. Persil,
the Attorney. General, rube his hands for joy, at the prospect of having
1528 new subjects for prosccutiou. At all events, these bickering',
joined with the spirit now abroad, do not augur well for the stability of
the present system here.
Yesterday evening we were again in a ferment in many parts of this
city. You will recollect tbs. in a lonmr lettes, I informed you that
on the sth May—the anniversary of the cl•-ath of Napoleon—the base
of the column Vendome was ornamented v. ith bouquets and wreaths
of flowers. These bad daily such an astonishing accumulation, that
actually the base of the column, and the space wi. bin the rails, were
literally covered with flowers. To these were added, large bests
or the late Emperor, prints of the Duke of Re'chstatit, with
numerous placards, bearing various devices and inscriptions. Tbis
display attracted many hundreds of persons throughout the day. I
passed the spot about II o'clock et nig) t, 'eh a numbers were still re-1
maining, attracted by curiosity, or perhaps a bAter feeling. Soon after,
a group arrived, who danced round the column. singing the " Car.
nurywtle," which always awakens such frightful recollections, from its
connection with the former revolution. The Guards dispersed the
whole of the persons collected et midnight; and this morning by six
o'clock, when I proceeded to survey the scene, the whole of the orns.
meats and souvenirs hail disappeared ; and in their place a piquet of
troops of the line was stationed, who prevented any approach to the
column ; while a detachment of the National Guards paraded about
the Place Vendome, and the adjacent street', to disperse the groups
which were collecting.
About ten o'clock yesterday, on the space in front of the Bourse,

where there is always a great collection of people, I was witness to
another party performing th- same donee, dinging the death-notes, and
shouting " Vive la Republique." Here the National Guards arrested
seven of the most prominent, amidst the shouts of many persons.—
Those who were arrested, as well as those who joined in the songs, were,
In appearance, of the better class of citizens. The troops round the
column Vendome appearesl to give great offence this morning. I heard
several express their surprise, whether the Government thought they
would eat it ; adding, that it was scandalous to insult the memory of
the greatest man France ever saws by sweeping away the tributes of
affection which had been rendered to him.
The news from Poland still continues to be good. The last Polish

Journals positively announce the defeat of the corps of General Rudiger,
rho was, with his mat-Major, made prisoner by the brave General
Drernicki. lie had, besides, seized twenty-nine chariots, charged
with valuable effects, which the Russians had brought with them.—
The news from Lithuania is daily more cheering. Prince Gabriel
Oginski, ancient Colonel of the Guard of Honour of Lithuania in
1612, is at the head of well organised troops ; he cuts off the provl.
dons from the Imperial Guard.
The Diet of Poland has cue voktd an extraordinary meeting of the
Deputies of Lithuania, Podolia, Vulhy ohs, &c. to deliberate ere
the affairs of the whole of Ancient Poland. This appeal is a reply IS
tie Ukase of Nichoha, of the 3d of April. as the declaring the throw
vacant was that which the Poles made to the proclamations of Diebitsell.
It is buid that the Rursian prisoners are so contented in Poland, that
they give up all thoughts of raurniug to Russia, where they had but e
sous a .lay, whilst in Poland they receive right. They cultivate the
land, and will obtain, at a later period, the rights of citizens. Thin
number is stated to amount alretlly to 2000 men.
An exemplary and frightful sf.ectucle to the Roman ',Mots, h
about to take place in the paean of young Lap', who has bees
convicted of having been one of the chiefs of the movement, whidi
took place at Rome. It is stated that the cardinals and foreign
diplomatists have pleaded for, and obtained a delay; but assurance
is at the same time given. that the Holy Farber is implacable;
and that it will be a miracle if Lepi, and three of his oak
pinions are saved from death. To the appeal which is mob
against the edict, which ordains the closing of the Unitas
skies, an answer has been given, that it is much better for
the Roman Church to have ignorant good Christiana than
learned bad subjects. Thus, the young men are placed under the
tuition of the Jesuits, if they would continue their studies, as the Roam
College will be the only one open. I inclose the Journals of the day,
and remain, Yours, truly, J. L.

the following official bulletin to the national government:

superior forces and artillery. That officer, being convinced of the su.
periority of the enemy, fell bask upon the village of Woonowo, where,
the day after, he resolved to accept the combat, which lasted some
hours, and which had no other result than the loss of 200 or 900 men
on both sides. In this rencontre bur artillery, which showed itself so-
perior, distinguished itself as usual. Our infantry, which had very few
2re-anns, did more than was permitted to hope from it. The cavalry if
