JUNE I.g. dioaty robbery ?—the thief who plunders your dwelling in the dead of vigil - it—the wretch who fires his house for a fiau- Aulent purpose, and the v;ilain who claps a pistol to your breast on the In4hway, are not fitter objects for punishment than the miseiatle se-mndrels who would engage in a con spiracy to raise the Funds by fabricating false news. With these few rc: larks on the nature of the offence of which Lord Cochrane and Mr. Cochrane Johnstone have been found guilty, me quit the subject for the present. Of them persona!ly we 'hink it our duty to say nothing at this time, but it is our intention to take an early opportunity of paying our respects to the Noble Lord and Honourable Gentleman in due form FRANCE. We have received Paris papers to the 9th instant. They contain the Address of the House of Deputies to the King, in reply to his Majesty's speech, which is little more than an echo of the King's sentiments; concluding, how ever, with styling his Majesty Louis Ic Desire. An article from Toulouse in the Moniteur, dated the 31st ult. is wholly silent as to the report of the assassination of the Duke of Wellington. This story therefore we can only consider as a vile fabrication intended to disturb the general happiness which has prevailed thro' this week of joy. The Ring of France has named the Members of the House of Peers. They are 154 in number. All the French Marshals are included, Davoust excepted. They are named Members of the Chamber of Peers only for their lives. The Treaty of Peace has given the greatest satisfaction to the people of France. They view it as in the highest degree honourable to the Allies and advantageous to France. _ _ A German article saes, that Prussia is to have territories on the left bank of the Rhine, in lieu of A nspach and Bay reuth, which Bavaria is to keep. Mentz is talked of as part of those territories. Austria has attempted to induce .the King of France to give up Alsace for an equivalent, but his Majesty has ieturned the most determined refusal. The Madrid articles in the s e papers represent the Spaniards as perfectly satisfied with the conduct of Ferdinand since his return. The French Fun4s ale improving. THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA *&., THE KING OF • PRUSSIA. These illustrious monarchs arrived in town on Tuesday. They came iarog and have constantly avoided as much as possible the applause - with which the public are anxious to greet them. They have been actively employed in visiting those objects which are most . Worthy the attention of Foreigners. Thursday se'nnight is said to he the day fixed upon for their departure. The Court of Common Council h A ve voted ad dresses of congratulation to their Majesties, and . swords of the value of 200 guineas each to Prince Schwartzenberg, Field Marshals Blucher, Barclay ck 'folly, and Count Platolf. GRAND ENTERTAINMENT OF THE CORPORATION It ' OF LONDON. The most rapid progress is making in the preparations for this splendid festival. Guildhall it is expected will exhibit an appearance of splendour which was never before witness ed in civic feasts, and commensurate with the rank of the illus trious individuals who are to be entertained. Galleries are to be erected round the half for the accommodation Of the ladies only, who will appear in full dress, and rich crimson drarry will be suspended from the cornices. The illu- THE NATIONAL REGISTER. 379 minations will be grand and appropriate, and every possible device applicable to the happy events which arc meant to be celebrated will be displayed. The Royal strangers;, the Prince Regent and all the Princes of the Itoyal Blood, are to be ac cotnmodated upon an elevated platform whence they will have a full view of the Company, and be themselves con spicuous to the persons seated in every part of the ball. The banquet will consist of the most costly viands, and neither pains, or expense will be spared to give eclat to this singulatly spendid banquet. DEFINITIVE TREATY. In another part of our present publication the Treaty of Peace will be found at hill length. The space which it oc c-.;ities so narrows our limits, in addition to the vast pressure of interesting domestic intelligence, which pours in upon us this week, that it is impossible for us to do more than direct the attention of our Readers to the To eaty nada loupe, it will be seen, is restored to France. The Slava Trade is to be abolished in five years. This is the only arti cle which the Opposition seem disposed strongly to object to. They contend it ought to have been done away at once. Lord. Castlereagh's explanation on this subject, when the Treaty is discussed, will, we doubt not, be satisfactory.• Tilt then, we shall not go into the question ; we slta:l only say, with every wish to see this odious traffic put an end to, we cannot think a British Minister would have done well to risk an open rup ture, or to sow the seeds of a new war in Europe to give peace to Africa. IRISH CATHOLIC BOARD. We congratulate the country, and more especially the Ca tholic part of its population, ou the annibilati.n of the Ca tholic Board. The people in Ireland are rejoiced at loving delivered from a junta of demagogues, who had the audacity to impose taxes on them to support and reward those who made them ridiculous, and their cause hopeless. ILLUMINATIONS. London has again exhibited one blaze of light, during the last three evenings, aided by a greater proportion of tran,pa rencies than we ever recollect to have witnessed. It would be impracticable to give any idea of the whole, within the mits necessarily assigned to such matters in this Paper; nor, in fact, is such a detail necessary, when we daily expect the Proclamation of Peace, to be followed by the renewal of illu minations, on a scale still more brilliant and diffuSive. The Budget for the present year will be opened to morrow. • Wednesday, Messrs. Barring, BattYe, and Co. ; and Messrs. Barnes, Steers, and Co. waited, by appcintwent, upon Lord Liverpool and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when they were informed that 24 millions would be wanted for Eng• land, and three millons for Ireland.
