had more of what was analogous to the early sen-
timents of the Revolution, than any thing else we
have yet had to communicate.—lt affords us pleasure to
peruse the speech of Gen. LAFA TETTE : he waives his
own peculiar opinions on this and another more important
point, and harmonizes with the sentiments of the majority.
We think we can perceive that the men 71010 acting
bear in mind the errors of the early and virtuous founders
of the first revolution, and have made a resolution to
avoid them. There appears among them none of that
pseudo-philosophy which treats of man, not as he is, but
as their warm, and often benevolent imaginations would
wish him to be. It was theoretical politics—not prac-
tical—which ruined themselves, and introduced the con-
fusion of their country. And we fervently hope that no
unfortunate step may give play to such experimental
notions on Government, as occcasioned the intro-
duction of all the crimes and misery that ensued.
We perceive that two of the late Ministers are taken.
We regret it moat sincerely, and we hope that the
others may have escaped. We regret it, because
the sacrifice of life can do no good, and must do mis-
chief. While we join entirely in the predominating sen-
timent against the faults of their policy, we confess we
cannot but think that the Journalists of this country travel
criminally beyond their line of duty, in writing one
word to encourage revengeful feelings in a foreign peo-
ple— the minutia of whose politics, with all their boasted
and boastful pretensions to infallible wisdom, is well
known to every man of good sense, can be but very
imperfectly understood. We sincerely hope that the
great exhibition which the French have presented to the
world, of patriotism and courage, may be yet heightened
in effect, by the addition of a still more sublime virtue—
that is mercy; and we hope that an example will be set
by the PEOPLE,WhiCh has seldom been set by KINGS-
-that of avoiding a revengeful effusion of blood when
it can be avoided.

The Palais Royale is crowded daily with suitors for
places. All the courtiers of the Tuileries are eagerly
offering their unworthy incense at the foot of the new
power.
The Constitutionnel says:—" We should strangely
deceive ourselves were we to consider the reign of Charles
X. as legal and flowing from the Charter—as a reign,
the acts of which are binding. No : this reign has been
but the developement of a conspiracy, formed on the very
day that Louis XVIII. ascended the throne—a con-
spiracy that worked for several years in secret,showed itself
somewhat more boldly towards the end of his reign, and at
length seated itself upon the throne with Charles X. on the
16th Sept. 1824. The occult government from that time
became the ostensible Government. It was not that of a
King who came to rule, for the best, the country en-
trusted to him by destiny ; it was the emigrants and the
clergy returned to seize their prey; it was the sanguinary
enemies of France, enemies a hundred fold more cruel
than foreign armies, who came to gratify thirty years of
hatred, humiliated pride, and disappointed cupidity. We
repeat, that it was not a legal or regular Government. It
was an invasion of the emigrants and Jesuits. It was a
commotion which overturned social order, and subjugated
a brave and generous people to the vilest portion of itself.
The nation revolted against this armed occupation, and it
has triumphed ; but the army of occupation remains
intact."

The Journal de Paris informs us that the most un-
happy of the adherents to the royal party, during the
King's flight, was the Duke de Ragusa. His conduct
during the 27th, 28th, and 29th, provoked the abso-
lutists as much as it exasperated the nation. He is re-
proached with having disregarded the instructions which
he had received, by not cutting down the Parisians on
the first day : with not having arrested, on Wednesday,
the Deputies sent to negociate, contrary to the orders which
had been given him to that effect: and, finally, with having
checked the ardour of his troops, by informing them, in an
Order of the Day, that negotiations were entered into with
the rebels. In consequence of all this, the Duke d'Angou-
leme, it is said, on the Marshal's arrival at St. Cloud,
rushed upon him like a fury, and struck him several times
on the chest. On the Marshal's threatening to defend
himself, the Prince, exasperated, demanded his sword.
Marmont gave it up, and the Duke d'Angouleme seized
it so hastily, and in so awkward a manner, that he cut his
bands severely. He called aloud for the Guards—
about a dozen of them immediately rushed in armed,
and seeing the Prince wounded, were going to
stab Marmont with their bayonets. The Duke
d'Angouleme stopped them, saying: " No, he is
s traitor, but let him be spared. ' This scene was
soon known, and Charles X. had some difficulty in
bringing about a reconciliation. The Dauphin at
last said to Marmont, " I have been in the wrong."—
It is said that when Charles X. in order to obtain
a safe conduct, proposed to abdicate in favour of the
Duke of Orleans--the latter rejected the offer imme-
diately, declaring that France bad become free ; and
that, as for himself, if ever he possessed the Crown, he
would hold it from the people alone. Charles X. then
confined himself to absolving the soldiers from their oaths.
The Marquis de Larochejaquelin was the bearer of
Itite application of Charles X. for a safe conduct.
The Mositeur says, that the national troops, who
were under the command of Gen.. Pejo!, accompanied
by Gen. £xcelmans, Col. Jacqueminot, and M. George
Lafayette, were filled with the same enthusiasm which
they had displayed in the great week. The army encamped
at Coignieres, and as early as 3 in the morning demanded
to be ordered to march on Rambouillet, and even toad-
vance beyond it. It was with the greatest difficulty
the men could be induced to stop. The results of the
march were immense. The flight of the King—his de-
finitive abdication—the recovery of the Crown-jewels—
the surrender of the whole of the Royal Guards-rwere
the fruits of this day, which closed the glorious Revo-
lution !

The Duke d'Angouleme ordered ten men of the Royal
Guard to be shot, in the Park of St. Cloud, even at the
time when there was no hope of the success of his party,
on the night which preceded his Sight.—Courrier des
Electeurs.

It was in the environs of Tours, and in a by-road
which he was endeavouring to traverse on foot, that the
ex-Minister Chantelauxe was surprised. The peasants
who captured the ex-keeper of the seals, were armed to
protect their property against fire, and when they ar-
rested him they took him for an incendiary.-. Paris Paper.
The censorship is becoming sore and more severe in
Saxony, thanks to the insinuations of the Jesuit party,
which has obtained complete dominion over the King's
mind. It that several printers have, in conse-
quence, transferred their establishments to the Prussian
States, where the Government is making continual Coll-
cessions to the spirit of the age.Le Temps.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 91i for the Ac-
count, opened this morning at 91i j, and at present
they are 91i. This improvement is owing to the tran-
quil state of affairs in Paris,
In the Foreign Market, most of the securities arc
somewhat improved.
Quebec Papers have been received at the North and
South American Coffee-house, to the 15th July:—" St.
John's, New Brunswick, June 15. His Majesty's ship
Champion arrived on Sunday, in four days, from Halifax.
We learn that her commander has instructions to accom-
pany his Excellency the Governor to the French shore
of St. Peter's, whither his Excellency intends to pro-
ceed, in the course of a fortnight, for the purpose of ob-
taining correct information with respect to the relative
rights of the English and French fisheries.
Est to RATION.—The number of emigrants arrived in
the Port of Quebec, on the 12th o(July, 1829, was
6,500: the number arrived during this season, up to
the present day, is 16,840—an excess of upwards of
10,000 souls.
LIVERPOOL, Ay G. 9.—The demand for British plan-
tation sugar continues good, the sales for the week
amounting to 1,000 hogsheads, at some little decline on
the prices of the better descriptions. The demand for
coffee continues extensive ; and the demand for cotton
this week has been rather moderate, the sales amounting
only to 14,500 bags. The lost prices have been fully
supported. We continue to have many arrivals of vessels
with pine timber ; and, as they are now being dis-
charged, the quays are crowded with timber. Most of
the cargoes landing have been disposed of to the trade.
Our City Correspondeiat writes thus :—" The French
have now a King of their own choice, under the title of
Philip the First. Order and tranquillity have again been
restored. There is one act in this revolution of magic,
which the public will find fault with—the annulling of
the Peers, by the Chamber of Deputies, which Charles
the Tenth had lately created. This, they say, is a re-
volutionary act, and should not have taken place ; but
this measure being left to the King's discretion, it is sup-
posed that most of them will again be re-instated. Ano-
ther question is the destination of Charles X. on which
subject we are as yet in the dark. The French express
does not state anything on that point.
" Philip the First, in his speech, is desirous of peace
with all Europe, and it now remains to be seen if all the
Allied Powers are of the same sentiment. Former
periods, no doubt, have taught them experience ; and
the well-informed are of our opinion, that they will not
interfere with the internal affairs of France."

CITY, HALF PAST ONE,
In consequence of the French Funds coming higher
3 per cents, for money 78 70, for time 79 10, the Con-
sol Market has improved to 911 for the Account, and at
present they are 91ii. All is going on well in France.
Government have received several expresses this day
from Paris, no doubt with the official information of the
new King being installed. In the Foreign Market every
Stock is better. In Shares nothing doing. South Me-
tropolitan Gas, 2i premium.
Dov Elt, Auo. 10.—Some expresses have arrived for
the Foreign-office and the newspapers. There were a
large importation of British people : these two days past
18 carriages and families in one day. The people
say, that every thing is getting very quiet at
Paris, and placards put up in all the towns
and cities, to inform the British people that they
will be protected from insult and kept in safety. There
were two expresses left this morning for Paris. The
private letters by the express this morning bring the
French funds very high, as follow :-3 per cents. 78 to
70 for money, for time 79 to 10 ; 5 per cents. 104 25.

A private letter received yesterday from Marseilles,
with the Paris papers, states that the tri-coloured flag
was flying on Notre Dame de la Garde and the town-
hall of that city. A popular feeling had shewn itself
on receiving the intelligence from Paris, and the bust
of Louis XVIII. at Marseilles, had been pulled down
by the people, and a tri-coloured flag put in its place.
The town, at the departure of the letters, was, how-
ever, tranquil. By a vessel arrived at Marseilles from
Algiers, most interesting accounts were received from the
Algerine expedition. As passenger in the vessel was
an officer of the expedition to Algiers, who brought
information, that on the receipt of the intelligence
of the late proceedings in Paris being known to the
troops, they immediately proclaimed themselves in
favour of liberty and the Charter ; crying, " Down
with the Bourbons !" " Down with despotism !"
A few of the old soldiers exclaimed, " Long live the
Emperor, and Napoleon the Second!" Gen. Bourmont
addressed the troops, requesting them, for the sake of
themselves and their country, to show no popular feel-
ing, as the inhabitants might take advantage of such
a demonstration. It is stated, on very good authority,
that this General, now a Marshal, exclaimed to one of
his Aides-de-camp, on hearing the intelligence, " that
he had been betrayed by Polignac, and knew that
that minister's politics would finally subvert the reign
of the Bourbons." On the departure of the above offi-
cer, Marshal Bourmont was expected to return imme-
diately to France. Among the Algerines there was no
signs of joy at the condition of affairs in France. The
French were treated with the greatest kindness by the
natives, and the town was perfectly tranquil. A great
number of the French troops were much affected by the
climate, and about 500 were in the hospitals.
In a set of papers lately presented by His Majesty's
command to both Houses of Parliament, entitled " Cor-
respondence with Foreign Powers relating to the Slave
Trade," there is a truly shocking and humiliating exhibi-
tion of the atrocities of the French slave-traders on the
one hand, and the impotent though earnest and respectful
appeals of our naval officers and colonial governors to
those of the French islands, and of our Ministers to those
of France, on the other hand, against those lawless
offenders,and the official abettors of their crimes.—Tissues.
CALAMITOUS FlRE.—This morning, at half-pest
three, an alarming fire broke out in the warehouses of
Messrs. Messenger and Houghton, wholesale oil-factors,
in Bartholomew-close, from whence it rapidly extended
to the printing-office of Messrs. Adlard, and sees alter,
wards to the extensive premises of Messrs. Seddon, es-
binet-makers and upholsterers. The premiies immedi-
ately adjoining those of Messrs. Messenger are occupied
by Shearman and Co. of the Bull and Mouth Inn, se
stabling, and a number of horses were there at the tinsel
the fire broke out, but none of them were injured. The
house where the fire originated, together with the print-
, ing-office and upholstery warehouse, were totally de-
stroyed. The amount of property destroyed is greater
than has been lost on any similar occasion for a great
number of years. Some accounts say that it is at least
to the extent of two hundred thousand pounds; but this,
I we have reason to believe, is exaggerated. It is not
known bow the calamity arose; and at the present nto-
ment, it is feared that there is a loss of several lives.
Later accounts, and no doubt truer, state that the loss
may be about 30,0001. and the whole Is insured.
