THE NATIONAL REGISTER. LosnoN: MONDAY. APRIL 22. mans and letters from Holland to the 17th instazt, and from France to the 19th, have come to hand. The Duke of Wellington arrived on the 12th at Cam bray, and was expected to proceed from thence to Vales eimmes. The King of France has shown his attention to useful literature, by commending the re-estabreament of the oldest, and for a long time the most celebrated literary journal in Europe, the Journal des Saran:, which was continued from 1665 to 1795 under the special patro nage of the Kings of France. Preparations are making for the French Court to visit Fontainebleau early in the summer : it it said, that M. de Tallyrand does not accompany them, but gees to his seat at Valenmy, so long the residence, or rather prison, of Ferdinand VII. We are sorry to learn, on the authority of the Gazette: Piemonteze of the 9th instant, that her linpe,lid Majesty the Empress of Austria, whose disorder, it had been hoped, was taking a titvourable turn, suddenly became worse ; and that news of her death, in the 2tith year of her age, had been received from Verona. Acceding to TIIE NATIONAT. RFCIISTFII_ many German papers, the Emperor Francis is about to resume the title of Emperor of Germany. All the dif ferences between Austria and Bavaria, it is now said, are completely settled by the treaty concluded at Munich, and subsequently ratified by the Emperor. The report of additional Austrian troops having been marched into Alsace, a►.ii of conflicts between them and tl►e French peasants in the mo►wtains of the Vosges, have been formally and officially contradicted in the journal of Colmar. The project of Sir Sidney Smith far the repression of the Barbary pirates, and the rescuing of Christians from slavery, appears to attract considerable attention at Paris. A meeting of chevaliers, and other zealous promoters of this laudable undertaking, was lately held in Paris, of whom Sir Sidney was president; and at which were pre sent Viscount De Chateaubriand, Peer of France, Vis count Blin & Bourdon, member of the Chamber of De puties, Viscount Mathieu Dc Montmorency, who claims descent from the first Christian Baron, together with se veral other eminent persons. It is attributed to the exertions of our brave countryman, that the grand Seignor has lately sent an envoy, named Aehmed Aga, to the' Dey of Algiers, to demand the release of 153 Greeks, and 3 Austrians ; with which demand the Dey thought it prudent to comply. The ditkrent continental papers present instructive lessons in the fate of the different French regicides and rebels, who but lately thought to dispose of the fate of their country. Driven from place to place, they can scarcely find a shelter for their degraded heads. Arrighi, the ephemeral Duke of Padua, wished to establish him self in Sardinia ; but was refitsed, and went on to Lom bardy, where was not anticipated that he would meet with a better reception. .Ameil, whose treachery on the breaking- out of the last rebtilion was so marked and odious, was seized in Hanover, attempting to escape in disguise. It is supposed that he will be demanded by the French Govtrnment, and of coarse will be given up. Roger Ducos has terminated his miserable existence by a tiefrom a carriage neer Ulm. Fouche, ex-Duke of Otranto, conceals himself in privacy at Dresden ; as do Cambaceres and Excelmans at Brussels. Paris Papers to Thursday last have been received. The discussion upon the Budget continues in the Chamber of Deputies, and several more of the articles have been agreed to; among others, an article for prohibi ting the introduction of colonial produce by land. The salt duties are to receive a small but temporary increase. 'Some individuals of the town of the Alencon have re ceived orders to (pit it in :24 and to repair to the places pointed out for them. The King is sufficiently recovered to be able to quit his apartments. The private letters arc, as usual, much more inte resting and important than the Paris Papers. The day after the new Law of Elections was passed by the Chamber of Deputies in an amended state, a de putation was sent with it to the King ; who, upon receiving it, told the deputation gull earieerait ; expres sions which have the same effect in France as here, and which mean that the King rejects the Bill or Law pro posed to him. Affairs will thus remain in stain quo. No new Law upon the Elections will be proposed. The discussion upon the Budget. will proceed; and as soon as that is pa.ssed through the two Chambers, the King will prorogue them till October ; when, it is said by our Correspondent, " the Members composing the present Chamber of Deputies will be again called upon for the framing of a Bill of Elections; as no partial renewal of the Representative Body can take glace until the organi zation of the Electoral Colleges shall have 'been fixed on by ts,definitive law, in tionfhroity with the th Article of the Charter. Without the Low of Election, his Ma jesty would feel some difficulty in exercising owe of the most important and essential prerogatives of the Crown ; namely, that of dissolving the Chamber." But the Deputies are expected to adopt some resolu tion before the prorogation, expressive of their displea sure at the King's (trivalent, or rejection of their law. Reports of changes continue, but are not much credited. One report states, that M. Laine is to replace M. Barbe Marbois, and Pasquier to succeed the Minister of the Interior. The Minister of Police is also expected to be replaced. In the night of the Gth, a Lady of Luxemburgh and her two young children were assassinated. The perpetrators of this crime have not yet been discovered. + The Paris Papers of Thurs:lay sc'nnight contain the Debate nn the proposed Law of Election. The project proposed by Minisiers has been rejected, though they employed the name of the King, and used flattery and reproof alternately; but all their efli,rts were lost on un Assembly whose decision was fixed before the discussion began. The amendments proposed by the Committee were carried by a great majority; and some of the Mem bers, who spoke in the sense of the &Tort, treated the Ministers with very little dt6.rence. APRIL IS. The °norther of D2pnties was employed on the 13th instant in a Debate on the Budget. M. !Atte presided ;. and we have observed, that since the defeat Ile sustained in the Chamber, he has never taken the Chair, but .on occasions when .the Budget was under ditxa4sion. By the It Struthers, which arrived at Greenock. on Sunday last from Rio Janeiro, we legs, that previous •to 'her sailing (which was on the Ist of January), an army of 8000 Portuguese troops had ass , ,nribled, tier the purpose of aiding the Spanish Royalists in South Ame rica, in the extinction of the spirit of Liberty and Inde pendence which has gone forth in that hemisphere. This army was to sail the instant certain reinthrcements arrived from Portugal, which were daily expected. The North Star, of V..o.gtuts, Capt. Bentham, arrived at Portsmouth from Jamaica and Havannah, with mails, has brought upwards of one million .of dollars-631,000. on account of Government—ssoo,ooo belonging to mer chants. She lett Jamaica on the 12th, and Havannah on the 29th of February. The accounts she brought of atlirirs in Spanish America are decidedly in &Your of the royalist cause. Since the capture of Carthagena, Santa Fe (the capital of New Granada) had -Wien into the hands of the royalists. Gen. Morellos, who command ed the independent force, and was taken at Carthagena, had been shut; and upwards of 70 Engliih and Ameri can subjects, who were likewise taken at the surrender of that city, had been sentenced to the same punish ment ; but Gen. 'Morino utlerwards determined that they should be sent to Old Spain, under the soretvnee, to await the final decision of his Master, Ferdbrand VII. All these persons were carrying on trade with Cunha gene when it was besieged by the royalists ; and the Spaniards pretend, that they not only formed, by their exertions and .counsel, the main strength of the rebel cause, but that they prevented many of the Spanish sub jects front returning to their duty and allegiance to their King. A report readied Jamaica, on the day the North Star left Port Royal, that Christop:►e had been assassi nated ; but it was not generally relied upon at Jamaica. We have seen private letters from Vera Crux of the recent date of the 3d of February. Ott the 31st of Ja nuary, an order had been received by the Spanish Au thorities resident there, from the mother country, signed by Ferdinand VII. declaring his determination, that no specie whatever should in future be bought up by any foreign power, but that the whole should be transmitted to Spain. In consequence of this information being made known, C. Parke, Esq. the British Commissioner appointed for buying up bullion for this country, was preparing to leave the settlement. Letters from Spain state, that ten °Meer! of the regi ment of Catalonia have been arrested and thrown into prison ; as it is said, in consequence of a suspicion of their being implicated in the late Madrid conspiracy. Owing to this extraordinary measure, all the other offi cers have abandoned their regiment. It appears clear, that the torturc has in fact been inflicted on several per sons in Spain. In consequence of this, General O'Do noghue has lost the use of his hands, his fingers having been all separately disjointed. The Intendant of Valen;• cia died during the operation of the torture. Maria Louisa has taken possession of her three Italian Duchies; the title she assumes is—" Maria Louis?, Imperial Princess, Archduchess of Austria, by the Grace of God the Duchess of l'arma, Piacenza, Guastalla, Brussels Papers to the 12th inst. contain accounts from Milan, stating that Maria Louisa, now Archduchess of Parma, joined the Emperor and Empress of Austria iu that city on the .'2oth ult. The whole city was illumina ted ; and a second illumination, much more magnificent than the first, took place on the 23d. The Emperor tra versed the principal streets amidst the acclamations of the inhabitants, and honoured the theatre with his presence, accompanied by the Archduchess his daughter. By an Edict of the King of the Netherlands, that kingdom has been divided into six principal military districts. A Messenger, who . arrived at Vienna on the 3d inst. from Verona, brought intelligence that the Empress of Austria was so ill of a nervous fever, that her life was despaired of. The Duke of Wellington has left Paris for the head quarters of the army of observation. On his arrival at Cambray a review of the corps composing the right wing was to take place. The exact time of his Grace's return is not mentioned; and it is merely stated that, on coming back to the French capital, he will occupy an hotel in the Rue de Bourbon. It is stated, that the Ottoman Porte has peremptorily refused to acknowledge the independency of the lonian Republic. This act solves all conjecturTs about the movements of our fleets and armies (:n tl.e Italian shores, without having recourse to Austria, or Naples, or any other Power. A private letter from Paris mentions the prorogation of the Chamber of Deputies by Louis XVIII.in consequence the rejection of the new Luw of Elections. This is very questionable. A New York Mail has brought a strange report, to which we attach no credit, that Bonaparte had made his escape from St. on hoard of an Aru;rican vessel.
