The Sun. — 1830-08-18 (London, England)

AUG. 13.  Among the passengers who have gone on board the .fleurs Van AmsterdaM steam-boat, from Lubeck to St. Fetersburgli, is the Hanoverian Ambassador at the Russian Court, General Dornberg. As for Prince Polignac, there is, on particular enquiry, no trace of his having gone on board that vessel, either under his own or an assumed name.  The Ex-King of FRANCE has at length arrived at Spithead. The French vessels in the offing hoisted the tri-coloured flag on the occasion—a compliment which his MAJESTY could not fail to have duly appreciated. We hope,—if his studies in English have yet got beyond the ,c Vicar of Wakefield,"—he will be tempted to take a peep at our Morning Contemporaries to-morrow, as he will there see much that will abundandy gratify him. The proceedings at the Public Dinner that is to take place this evening at the Freemasons' Tavern, will serve as a refreshing comment on his late actions.  Our advices, last received from Calcutta, contain a document of some commercial importance,, being a regulation for aMetnling part of the rules orgegulation 15, 1829, and likewise for better enforcing the payment of duty, on the exportation of goods by sea, passed by the Gonernor in Council on the 30th of January last. By this, the declaration of value on applications to import goods need not be sighted in the Collector's or Deputy's presence as heretofore, but the Collecter may require the importer to attend and confirm the declaration. Any person subscribing or signing a declaration of the kind referred to in the preceding clause, as proprietor, importer, or consignee, without authority, is to be liable to a penalty of one thousand rupees. Goods for export must ba passed through the Custom-house under penalty of forfeiture, if unaccompanied by permit.  At the meeting held yesterday at the City of London Tavern, on the subject of the late glorious and unprecedented occurrences in France, Mr. FEARON observed, that 44 as a body, he was justified in saying, that the bankers and merchants had not come forward to lead the public—to stop the course of public opinion was beyond their power. The present meeting, then, though including within its members several eminent bankers and merchants, came before the public now only as a meeting of the  traders of London. In that capacity they appeared ; and they would have acted a most dastardly part had they been so wanting t 6 their own character as not to come forward upon so memorable an occasion. When the proposition for the present meeting was submitted to the LORD MAYOR, he, in a perfectly polite, but at the same time in rather a cool manner, declared, that however his views as an individual might lead him to sympathise with the feelings which it was desired to express, yet he could not lend the sanction of his official authority to any such meeting as was proposed ; and several difficulties were suggested and impediments thrown in the way of the measure submitted for his Lordship's consideration." We have before ventured our opinion on the subject of the Loan MAYOR'S squeamishness on this occasion, so need say nothing more at present than that we think his Lordship would have appeared to greater advantage as Chairman of the Meeting, than as the utterer of dull jokes (to which his Lordship is sadly addicted) at the Mansion-house Police-office.  By letters from the Persian Gulf to the be. ginning of February, we learn that the whole State of Muscat was in insurrection. The Prince had gone to an island in the South, and had left his nephew in charge, who confined one of the Governors in irons ; in consequence of which the country rose, took five or six places, and three of the young Prince's children, whom they threatened to kill if the prisoner was not given up.  In another part of The Sun will be found the particulars of the atrocious murder of a Policeman by some villains, whom with too much justice he suspected of burglary, and whom he was watching accordingly. The poor fellow died in the strict and meritorious, though humble, discharge of his duty, and deserves the grateful secollection of the public. We hope a subscription will be entered into on behalf of his afflicted family.  We understand that a complete history of the late extraordinary events in Paris, commencing with the promulgation of the Ordonnances by
