HoNoRs TO MR.. ADAMS AT RICHMOND.

II is qualification to know that the People of
the city OF Richmond have relieved themselves from
so much as had fallen to their share of the reproach
which the State Of VIRGINIA has incurred among
her sister States, by the scurvy treatment given by
the predominant party in her Senate to the Reso-
buttons which had unanimously passed her House
of Representatives in honor Of the memory of
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. Tuesday last was honor
ably set apart by the citizens of Richmond to render
proper tribute of respect TO the memory Of that
distinguished statesman. During the day business
Of almost every kind was suspended, the flags
waved at half-mast minute guns were fired, &C.;
and large funereal procession, composed Of Mem
bers Of the State Legislature, the Military Compa-
MES, the Odd Fellows, the Sons of Temperance,
and Citizens generally proceeded through the prin-
pal streets TO Of the churches, where an address
on the virtues Of the deceased was delivered by A.
JUDsoN CRANE, Esq. All the ceremonies were Of
solemn and impressive character, and SO conduct
ed to reflect the highest credit the citizens OF
Richmond, without distinction Of party.

MORE sPEcULATIoNs ON FRENCH AFFAIRS.

The New York Morning STAR of Tuesday
has the suboned article, containing some new
views in relation to the late events in Paris which
we submit to our readers for what they are worth,
with the single remark, that if sustained by letters
from intelligent persons residing in the capital of
France they are entitled TO as much weight at least
as the speculations which have reached us through
the English press.
FROM THE NEW STAR OF TUESDAY.
Letters have been received in this city by several esPeca
BILE French houses from intelligent sources which give very
rational view the objects and intentions of this revolution
II has been long anticipated from the advanced age of the
King and his determination of placing the of bis
successor the infant Count PARIS under the control Of

ton Of the Opposition have the young king placed under
regency composed of distinguished from the people,
They knew that if the Duke Of AuMALE was Regent that NJ
GuIzoT would be in fact the king and at all the meetings
and OF the opposition in the Chambers this
point positively insisted upon, when the attack upon the
press and the opposition the reform banquet FASTENED the
revolution. There is small Bonaparte party in France,
very large Democratic party and also large number in favor
of constitutional monarchy Bat among the best informed
Of the Opposition there serious thoughts of republic,
and the Masses unlike the revolution of $780, have lead
ers. They wish such monarchy as England, with res
ponslDe Ministry, Which governs and they are indifferent
about the monarch. This the French intelligence received
in this city, and, without Information this subject it
may have the appearances Of being The people will
demand reform and additional rights, but if the revou-
ton promptly cIosedfhe spirit and excitement reaches
every part of France, it is hard to say when it will erm
nate and what may not grow out of it, We look with great
anxiety for the next arrival
The New York Express also briefly refers to
the views held by Frenchmen in that city, in the
following terms:
eve understand that the French Consul General in this
city has received private adyces special dispatches
the subject from France and is not prepared to express any
opinions with regard the probable result Of the revolution
Well informed French gentlemen however, think it possible
that Regency may yet be formed and very probably with
the Duchess of Orleans the head in which they think
affairs will soon settle down peaceaby but if republic is
insisted on the gentlemen apprehend great deal Of DIFF
fculty and proracted civil war"
