1 the West, upon whose statements-we rely, have never yet deceived us, and the reasons which they give, seein to us perfectly incon- trovertible. Wc have placed in another co lumn, the names of the members of both hou- lies of the Kentucky Legislature, and their political character as fully ascertained. Some of them claimed by the Clay party, in order to make up a meagre majority, are known to be expressly elected as Jacksonians, and open ly pledged to support the administration.— The victory is great and decisive The fate of Mr. Clay is sealed; deserted by his own State, he can only hope to protract his politi cal existence by a few more desperate strug gles. It is reserved for Maryland, in which last struggle will ho made to give him the coup de grace. BARTON is defeated by a large majority in Missouri. JOHNSTON will be left at home in Louisiana. A friend to the administration will be returned to the U. S. Senate from Kentucky, Llinois is unmoved We have heard nothing distinct from Indiana, but have no fears, and have a firm reliance that the republicans of Maryland will leave Ezeki el F Chambers at home to meditate on Dil- worth, and study the multiplication table.

The packet ship Hibernia, Capt. Maxwell, announced as being in the offing yesterday, has brorght the Editors of the Commercial Adver tised their London papers to the 3d of Au"»«t bt>., n goi 10 rne ^io, Dotn inclusive. It was evident from the complexion of the fcreign advices yesterday, that a crisis was Dear at hand n France. Still wc had no idea that the gathering tempest was so soon to feeak upon us. But tte explosion has fallen flpon the startled e* r quick as the thunder crash follows the ^“ize of the lightning. An other agonv -'■as begun. The streets of the French r^pltol have again been deluged with bioiW. Charles X. lias ceased to reign. The haughty Bourbons are again fugitives. LA FAYETTE—almost OUR OWN Lafayette, is again at the head of the National Army, and France reposes once more in the arms of her legitimate sovereign—THE PEOPLE. Am ple details of these most extraordinary events will be found below. A letter from Paris, datod July 29th. says— •'The most horrible carnage has taken place in Paris, yesterday till 8 o’clock in the evening, and to-day till noon. The number of killed and wounded is considerable on both sides, but the Royal Guard was at length repulsed on ali points, and the tricolored flag is hoisted on the Tuilleries. It could never have been suppos ed that there was such invincible courage in the population ofthc Capitol. Every one flew to arms, and this morning Paris, could have re sisted 100 000 men. The Royal Guard is noiv posted along the road to St Cloud; but it ap pears that having received reinforcements from Beauvais, it will attempt another attack this night. The Moniteur, of the same date, announces that “The Deputies present «ti Paris, Have found it necessary to assemble to remedy the serious dangers which threatened the security of persons and property. A Commission has been appointed to watch over the interests ot nil. in the entire absence of a regular organiza tion. Messrs. Ar.dry de Puiravieu Compte Gerard, Jaques Lafitte, Compte de Lobau,— Mauguin, Odier, Casimer Perrier, and De Schonon, compose the Commission. General Lafayette is Commander in Chief of the Na tional Guard. The National Guards are mas ters of Paris at all points.” On Saturday, the 31st of July, the Capitol Was entirely free from the troops who adher ed to the King; ail was tranquil in Paris, and fie Duke of Orleans had, at the request of the Deputies, consented to act provisionally as Lt. G nrrul of the Kingdom. The Ministers ap pointed by the Deputies to carry on the busi ness of government are—Baron Louis for the Finances; M. Dupont De L’Eure for the De partment of Justice; General Gerard for War; Admiral deRigny for the Marine; M. Bignon, lor Foreign Affairs; M. Guizot, for Public In struction; and M. Casimir Perrierc, for the In terior. Such of the Swiss Guard as had sur vived the carnage have forsaken the King. The King had fled to Nantz. accompanied by the Duke de Bordeaux, (the young heir presumptive,) and other members of the Roy al Fimiiy. They have carried with them the crown and all the jewels. At Nantz they were t<» wait for tho Ex-Ministers, when it will be decided whether they will proceed to Germa ny or to England. [Another account, both be ing of the latest date, states that the Royal flight was to Rheims.] Thus it would appear that Charles has set his Crown upon a cast— has stood the hazard of the die—and lost it. A letter from an English gentleman in Paris, dated August 1st., says; “We have emerged from a dreadful crisis — Tvranny has been subdued, and liberty has tri umphed. Glory and honor to the Parisians! they have achieved a mighty action. For three days has Paris been a scene of warfare. Blood has flowed in torrents; at least 3000 men have fallen on both sides; some say 6000; but the military are the principal sufferers. The spirit of the people was inconceivable; they successively carried every post, drove the sol diers before them, took the . Tuilleries, the Louvre, and all the public buildings by assault. Yesterday, at 6 o’clock, all Paris was in the hands of the citizens. To their honor, be it said, property, public or private, was every where respected. The gates of the city are open, and the streets, which had been torn up bv the populace, with the intention of throwing the stones from the tops ol the houses upon the military, are repairing.” Much blood has doubtless been shed. In the Fauxboorg of St. Denis, it was reported from one to two thousand persons had been sa lt diced, when the guards and the artillery, shocked at so much carnage, and seeing the determination of the people, bad refused to fire. The events connected with this revolution have passed before us with sqch unexampled rapidity, that they float hazily in the mind like a dream, rather than facts officially authentica ted. We must endeavor, however, to present the reader with something like an intelligible history of the week during which they occur red. The Royal Ordinances which we pub lished yesterday, and which were the immedi ate cause of the explosion, were dated on the 251 h of July, and published on the 26th, which was Monday. Simultaneously with the issu ing of these decrees. Marshal Marmont, (Duke of Ragusa.) was invested with the command of the troops. On the day following, (Ihe 26th,) the Bank refused to discount Bills, upon which all the manufacturers discharge their workmen, and the streets ol Paris were tilled with groups discussing aloud the extraordina ry state of things. , r On the evening of the same day, the follow ing ordinance was posted up iu Paris, which served to increase the agitation already pro duced: “We, Prefect of Police, 4-c. seeing the ordi nance of the King, dated the 25th inst. which put again in force articles 1, 2 and 9, of the law of the 21st October, 1814, &c. we have or dained and ordain as follows; "Art. 1. Every individual who shall distri bute printed writings, on which there shall not be the true indication ot the names, profession, and residence of the author and of the printer, or who shall give to tlie public the same writ ings to read, shall be brought before the Com missary of Police of the quarter, and the writ ings shall be seized. “2. Every individual keeping a reading room, coffee house &c who shall give to be react journals or other writings, printed con trary to the ordinance of the King, of the ~otb inst. relative to the press, shall be prosecuted as gumy ot the misdemeanors which these journals, or writings, may constitute, and his establishment shall be provisionally closed.” Tuesday the 27th, was early a day of great excitement and agitation. The Police were busy in attempting to prevent the people from visiting the usual places of resort tor paper: and news. The Journal of Commerce appear ed by permission, and a royal ordinance was issued, requiring the printer to proceed wit! its composition the following day. A similar order was issued for the publication of La France Nouvelle, but it was disobeyed. The students of the schools were ordered not to take part in any illegal assemblage and public disorders. On both sides blood was shed.— Indeed the insurrection had commenced. In consequence of the decree against the freedom of the press, the following journals were suppressed on the 27th: The Constilu tionnel, with its 27,000 subscribers, the Cour rier Francais, the Journal du, Commerce the National, the French Times, the Messa- r des Chambres, and all the res*, of the liberal or moderate papers of the Liberal side were put down The English were without their Galignani’s Messenger, and their London Express; and the following are the only pa ners which had the liberty to appear that morning, viz: Moniteur, Universe/, Qvotidi tnne, Gazette de France Drapeau Blanc■ The proprietors of Journals purely ministerial, ex perienced, of course, no difficulty; but all oth ers, which treated, in the most remote degree of political matters were unlicensed. On Wednesday, the "Oth, Paiis was In pos session of the insurgents. The citizens were all armed with pikes, with pistols, with fire arms, or with bludgeons. The soldiers had lor the most part either joined with or refused to act against the people The seizure*pf the presses of the liberal journals, appeared to be the signal ofthe inani festation of public opinion. The populace wa no longer to be intimidated by the troops, and hloodshed ensued to a frightful extent, on Tuesday and Wednesday. Many of the Na *ional Guards now spontaneously took up arm: in defeuce of the public liberties, hut the Go vernment neglected to profit by this open de monstration of feeling, ar.d persevered in the course which terminated in its ruin This state of things continued until the enraged populaep and the National Guard attacked and carried the Hotel de Ville and several small posts — The King’s troops then charged in turn, and after an obstinate resistance, in which much blood was spilt, succeeded in retaking them The possession, was of a short duration, as the students of the Ecole De Droit, and of the E- cole Polytechnique, fell vigorously on the mil tary. and drove them from their posts. The National Guard being then organized to a considerable extent, and having at »h ?; head General Gerard, undertook the duty ot protecting the city, and gained over to tbe cause ofthe people, the 5th and 53.1 regiment; of the line. During these proceedings the populace be ing formed into bands, armed every way, and organized to a great extent, gained considera ble ground, and pushed their advantages to the extremities of the city. The Royal Guards who had been ordered to evacuate Paris, were directed to proceed to St. Cloud. The third regiment of Guards and the Swiss Guards who had not quitted their posts at the Tuilleries, were attacked there at twelve o’clock in the day, and the p >sts being forced, the troops re treated to the Louvre. Here they were again attacked at three o’clock, and, after a heavy firing, they were dispossessed, and finding far ther resistance hopeless, retired from Paris. A meeting ofthe Peers had taken place, but with no material result. The Deputies met in Paris, and agreed to a protest, which was sent to the King at St. Cloud, but it did not appear that the King would make any concession The Deputies, on ascertaining the obstinacy of the King, re assembled to deliberate, and to take measures for the safety of the country. The tri-coloured flag was floating on the Tuilleries, and, according to some accounts, on Notre Dame also. The occurrences of Thursday the 29th, are detailed at full length, in the articles below from the Journal des Debats, and the Messen ger des Chambre, of July 30. And in addition io the accounts given above, of the result of the insurrection in the Capitol, and the state of affairs on the 1st of August, we here insert the substance ofthe news as received by the third and latest express which arrived in Lon don on Monday, the 2d ultimo. It is copied from the Sun ofthe evening of that day: A third express kas been aeceRredftoa Pa ris. . As far as the intelligence has been gutter ed to transpire, we are informed that the tyrant king had abdicated in favor of the Duke de Bordeaux; that the Duke of Orleans had been declared Regent, or, as others have it, King- that Charles X and the Royal Family bad set out for Rheims; and that Prince Polignac had been compiled to surrender to General La Fayette. The troops of the line at Leslie, at Rouen, at Havre, and generally throughout the departments, had joined the citizens. Inis express left Paris on Saturday night, at which time the Provisional Government was most successfully exerting itself to restore order, and the city was generally resuming its tran quil appearance, though the greatest enthusi asm prevailed. A deputation from Lisle had arrived at Paris, offering 5000 men, il needed. A deputation troin Lyons was also stated to be on the way to Paris. At Marseilles the inhabi- lants and military had universally risen against the Government ol Charles X. The Mar seilles hymn was chaunted in the streets, and a force was organizing to resist any attempt of the tyrant. The Provisional Government ot Paris was about to send two thousand men to ward Calais, and on the arrival of the expect ed quotas from the provinces, other bodies would be despatched in different directions. One general feeling is said to animate the French people, and they are not more distin guished by toe heroism with which they nave asserted their liberties, than by the avoidance of all anarchy and plunder during the strongest excitement. Toe accounts from Marseilles state, that in formation had arrived there of there having a risen discontents among the French iroops at Algiers It was said that 10,000 had been or dered borne. The convicts at I oulon had at tempted to escape but were prevented. In Marseilles great excitement prevailed, aDdtho Marseilles hymn had been sung in the open streets with cheers of down with the Bourbons —long live liberty. At Lisle, Nismes, Avig non, and other places, the national guard has taken up arms in favor ofthe people. On Wednesday, about one o’clock, the tu multuous assemblages had greatly increased, >v*ien there was repeated discharges ot muske try. The populace was every where collect ed in dense masses, but more especially in Rue St. Horiore and the market places. The place Louis Quinze was crowded with persons, in the strongest state of excitement, calling out, with deafening shouts—“As has les Bourbons!’ “A has les Despoles!” d'C. By the various dis charges, it was said that five or six hundred individuals had been killed. At the Boule vards the people cut down the trees and tore up the chaussees. One unfortunate English man, looking out of the window of Lawson’s Hotel, was shot. Every shop with the ensig nia ofthe royal family was attacked—the aj/i- clies were torn down, and the shops were lite- rally battered to pieces. The Tuilleries were quite closed, and large bodies of military were tationed allround. The current report, wheu our informant left Paris was, that M. Cassi- tner Perrier had issued a proclamation, stating hat obedience was no longer due to Govern ment, which was to be considered at an end. The national guard had assembled in great force, and it was understood that M. Lafitte, or lienerai Lamarque, was to he at the head ol it. The great massacre of the people happened when they were breaking into every place where ihere were arms to seize them. None of the mads were allowed to quit Paris, and it took about four hundred men to succeed in get ting the mail to tLis country out of the capital. Tins could not have been effected but lor a re giment, winch had gone over to the people, Having taken charge of it. All the Bureaux had closed, and it was impossible to procure passports. The English who were all eager toquit Paris, were taking their departure with out passports. All the English were stopped by the populace, and made to call out ‘ Vive la C'harte.” The people tore off theJlcurs de Us from the dresses of the postillions. Whai added considerbly to the consternation of the English was the circumstance of Lady Stuart de liothsay having left Paris. It was confi dently reported and believed that the Pc feet of Rouen had been hanged Indeed in every quarter the indigo-ti *n wa- strong a 4 unst government, and what added to the ex- ctement was the complete destitution of all men in office who had not, during tho recent "lection, exerted themselves in procuring votes. As much depends upon the feeling of the army, our informant says that the Gardes du Corps and the Swiss arc supposed to be staunch to the government, but the regiments ofthe line were on the side of the people to a man. He assures us that on this most import ant point there is not the least doubt enter tained that all the regiments of the line are with the people. The defection is complete. An officer on duty was desired to fire by one ofthe Cardes du Corps. The answ'er was, No, I will not fire on mv own country men ” It was reported in Paris that individ uals of the Gardes du Corps, found separate from the boy, had been dragged from their horses and massacred. The report was that treat damage had been done to the Louvre. It was said that cannon were posted on both sid< sol the Seine, and strong detachments of cavalry were marching from all the neighbor ing country on Paris. Handbills wen distrib uted every ten minutes or so among the crowds containing the most vehement philip pics against the K ng and Ministers, summon ing every man to arm for his country, and to aid in ejecting the Bourbon. The Palais Royal was the scene of all sorts of devastation. The Duke of Orleans, from his having the misfor tune to be a Bourbon, is a great sufferer for the sins of his relations. Our informant as sures us, that no exception is made—the race is devoted Paris, he says, exhibits a most extraordinary appearance at this time.— The state of excitement connot be described. Great indignation was felt at the meanness of (he King in skulking at such a lime. Some said he was concealed in Paris, others that he had gone to Compeigne. It was considered by the Parisians that the government had in tended (he destruction of the capitol The Gardes du Cops our informant said, did not by any means appear elated; they seem »o be fill ed with anything rather than anticipations of a successful i.ssue No frenchman had the least doubt of the issue. The people were pouring into Paris from ail Jhe places ot the ne ighborhood, with such arms as they could find, breathing vengeance agaiust the Bour bons.—Morning Chronicle. ‘‘The following manifesto is preceded by a letter dated Pans, 27th July, subscribed—By authorization, the Secelary ofthe preparatory Rc-Union of Frenchmen, D. M.’ which begins by stating, *1 am charged to transmit to you, with a request to msert it in your next number, the following document, which after delibera tion, was adopted this day by a numerous as sembly, met spontaneously iu order to concert the measures which circumstances render ne cessary and indispensable for the preservation of our rights, and the establishment ol a true Constitutional Government.’ "Manifesto to the French—to all people and “ to all Governments “A solemn act had, in 1816, laid the basis of a reconciliation between the French nation and the ancient dynasty, and fixed the condi tions by which the chief of the bourbon family should resume and preserve the exercise ol the Royal authority; reiterated oaths have at different epochs rendered more imperious the obligations contracted by the chiefs ot this family, and had made their Charter the sole title to the obedience of the French -— All these oaths have been violated the last sixteen years, by the establ a great number of laws, opposed in their spirit and letter to the spirit of the Constitutional Charter; but each of the attempts hitherto made against this fundamental law had au ap pearance of legality, and had not exceeded legislative forms, which, while they had been pieserved offered, the means of reparation. The French nation, with an equanimity which has often been called indifference or weakness, has supported itself against alt the inroads of power, all the attacks against its rights, which, made by the different adminis (rations which had succeeded each other uu dor the reign of the astute Louis XVIII. as un tier that of his successor. The national pa tience, instead of briuging back the govern ment to the sentiments of justice, of confidence, of benevolence, had on the contrary, inspired it with sufficient audacity to march more open |y to the overthrow of our institutions, to tlie spoliation of all our rights, to the rc-establish- ment of those principles of Divine right, ol those Royal prerogatives which are in opposi tion to the interests and the prerogatives of the people, which cannot be regarded otherwise than as an outrage to human reason, and which England first stigmatised with her an athemas, and destroyed by her arms. The or dinances ofthe 25th of the present month, in abolishing (he principle guarantees consecia- ted by the Constitutional Charter, have set ai naught the positive terms of that Charter, and of well considered laws, adopted by the two Chambers, and sanctioned by the King accor- img io legal forms, have at length taught Ihe nation that the chief which she had diegued to acknowledge, notwithstanding four years ot vices, of corruptions, and of treasons against his country, wished to govern it by his own will, and according to the caprices of his own gt-od pleasure. By these Ordinances tin Chief of the Government has placed himself above the laze; thf.refore he has put himself OUT OF THE PALE OF THE LAW. “In consequence of Charles Philip Cnpot, formerly Count oi Artoisc, has ceased of to be king of France; the French are reieaac from all their obligations to him in that ch r actor. Ail the Ordinances which he may pro- mulge will be like those of ihe 25lh, null, ami as it they had never been given. The Mints isters composing the Government of the Ex- Khig, named Polignac, Peyronnet, Monthel d’Haussez, de Ctiantalause, Gueruon, Ran ville, arc declared attainted and convicted of high treason It is the duty of all Frenchmen to re sist, by every means in their power, the orders of Charles Philip Capet, or his agents, under whatever denomination they may present them selves, to refuse payment of all imposts, and to take arms it it should be necessary, to put an end to a Government defacto. and to estab lish a nciv Government de jure. “The army is released Irom its oaths offi delity to the Ex-King, its country invokes ifs concurrence. Charles Philip Capet—his self- styled Ministers or Counsellors, their abettors and adherents, the Generals the chiefs of Reg iments and Officers, are responsible for every effusion of blood resulting from the resistance ofthe Government de facto to the national will. “Louis Philip of Orleans, Duke of Orleans, is called upon to fulfil under the present cir cumstances, Ihe duties which are imposed up on him, and to concur with bis fellow citizens in the re-establishment of n constitutional Go- vernment.and on his refusal to do so h- must with his faintly quit the French territory until the perfect consolidation of tho new Govern ment has been effected. “Voted in Session at Paris, 27th day of Ju ly 1830.
