A letter accompanying the express says— " The Messager (dated the 4th) shows that the King reserved for us a new alerte. However, General Gerard has set out for Hambouillet with 20,000 men, and several pieces of cannon. We cannot hear of him till tomorrow. The population of Paris is again in arms, and the exasperation against the Bourbons is extreme."  In The Sun of yesterday, when recommending thaossewecllitivaaslraoupsubhliigcl7mibisnerdiepd:liopnubilllicfamneteirtinogf, patriots who fell lately, while fighting in the popular cause at Paris, we asked " What are the Members for Westminster about ?" To-day we have their answer, in the form of letters addressed to our Morning Cotemporaries. That written by Mr. HonuousE is in every respect worthy of him. It is terse, spirited, and to the point, concluding with a munificent donation of a hundred guineas for the benefit of the widows of the murdered French patriots. But what a letter does Sir F. BunDETT put forth I Not a word about money—not a word about a public meeting—not one single word about what might naturally be looked for from so flaming a Reformer, does the Hon. Member for Westminster suffer to peep out in his epistle ! We have abundance of words—a more than sufficiency 0f protestations—much preaching about charity and so forth—lots of advice in short—but not a syllable respecting money. Probably when the subscription becomes more general, we shall have Sir FitANcis BURDETT contributing together with the-rest of the people ; but is such tame and tardy conduct in strict accordance with the public character of the lion. Baronet ? Should not the veteran advocate of Reform—of civil and religious freedom—the man of the people—the unopposed Member for Westminster—lead, rather than follow, in the wake of popular opinion ? Never, in the annals of the world, did an event yet happen so calculated to put fire even into the coldest heart, and excite the,generous one to enthusiasm, as this second French Revolution. Yet the man of all others, from whom both France and England expected the promptest and the liveliest sympathy, contents himself with coldly penning a long letter on the subject ! At the eleventh hour, when he finds public opinion unanimous, he will probably make a flaming speech in favour of the French patriots, and conclude by a respectable cheque on his bankers as a voucher for B ish)oei 8011)100i:et noted as:l forist sincerity. .rh tzAue at Ni ct iniss bßiesiui sorryallfonf tchToe.n rightsd uv tilielolnfootvinet the f 'es front,iuuocsnhs sinii:goaintli isdnsupst rluietrel:ttprooeo afrbrt de: ts rrnh ieNass‘dprpeeelacht place eetz oassritud:betujhel cosd h Teol oot cin e -o Baronet ; they are wrung from us " more in sorrow than in anger."
