THE NATIONAL REGISTER. LONDON : SUNDAY, JUNE 23. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday last. They are almost exclusively occupied with the particulars of the marriage-ceremony on Monday, at Notre Dame, of the Duke and Duchess of Berry. The language of the French press on the occasion is dis tinguished by such gross flattery and fulsome adulation, that some persons may be uncharitable enough to doubt the sincerity of the panegyrics so profusely lavished. The Monarch and his family are treated not as human Lings, but as deities ; and we are told " the sun rose ' cloudless fur the purpose of illuminating the object of so many wishes and hopes." After this glowing ob servation, the Bathos of the writer is most ludicrous ; as immediately after he tells us that some "veterans and others (brined in two files to keep the passage clear from the Thuilleries to the Church: The fountains of wiac are represented to have run in abundance ; and if we may judge from the reveries of the writer, he drank freely of that precious stream. The Paris papers, describing the Duchess of Berry, say, "her countenance is full of sen sibility, and possesses a character of peculiar sweetness. Her hair is fair, and her large blue eyes give to her fuse an expression of melancholy deeply interesting. She was dressed in a robe enriched with diamonds ; on her head was placed a diadem composed of the same, in the centre of which appeared the Nuptial Crown. The Duke was decorated with the orders of the Holy Ghost and St. Louis, and wore the costume of Henry IV. with a cloak of gold. The Duke of Wellington was present, and had a distinguished sent assigned to him in a Tribune on the right of the Sanctuary. All that is grand in the Roman Catholic Religion, imposing in military pageantry, and splendid in Court luxury, was employed an the oc casion ; diversified with the gambols of dancers, shows of every kind, and sports in the Elysian These Papers confirm, in a letter from Marseilles, the account of the terrible massacre at Bona. About 200 Christians were killed. Sixty wounded got back to their boats, and reached Cagliari. All the houses of the Chris tians were pillaged. The Letter concludes by saying, that " the insurrection was produced by the discontent at the Treaty between Lord Exmouth and the Dey of Algiers. Let us hope," and sincerely do we join in that hope, " that such atrocities will be avenged in a signal manner." The Paris papers contain extraordinary and mysterious particulars of the trial of a woman named Caroline Le reuth. She was charged with having stabbed the Sieur Delacourt with a sharp instrument, with an intention of putting him to death. The crime was designated as aiding and assisting in suicide ; but it appears from the testimony of the parties themselves, that the man was too timid to stab himself, and prevailed on the woman to take intoxicating liquors to excess to induce her to com mit the act. Delacourt, in his defence, did all he could to save the woman ; declaring that, she being afraid, he seized herhand, and struck it against hi s bosom ; but the Court sentenced her to ten vears solitary imprisonment and the pillory. On hearing her sentence, she wept bitterly, and said she would prefer death ; but on being informed by the President, that she had three days to appeal to the Court of Cassation, she resumed her firmness and was perfectly c omposed.—(She had since, appealed to that Court for a revision of her sentence). Mails from Hamburg and Holland have also arrived. The Papers brought by them contain the following arti- des :-- Fito74 TIIIC VISTULA, it s.—lt is said, that his Majesty the jjnyesaa• d liussia has atm United his ›lajoty We listr, of THE NATIONAL REGISTER. Sweden and hill Royal Highness the Croat' Prince to juin the Holy Alliance, and both have declared th.•ir readiness to do o. VIENNA, 31; N .1. —The eseape of Generals La llemand and Savary, whom the English had pritoucrs at Malta, has excited some sensation Item. The Special Commission at Ely has closed its pro ceedings. [See our page 1 5 (3.] Great credit is due to tke Government, particularly to that branch of it which more immediately presides over the internal state of the country, the Home Department, for the vigour with which it has acted in putting down the disturbances ; thr the promptitude and devisees with which it has prs cceded against the chief offenders ; for its determination to bring them before the bar of their country ; and finally, for having listened to the dictates of humanity, after having satisfied the claims of justice. The whole of these trials afford abundant matter for reflection to all ' classes of society. It does not appear that distress was the cause that instigated any of the rioters. None of them were out of employ ; nay, some of them were in good circumstances. The rioters issued out of public houses to commence the disturbances ; they had money enough to spend in drink ; and thus not only so much of their time was wasted, which might have been employed in honest industry, but so much money was lavished which might have made their families comfortable. Not that we mean to say, that distress would have been any justification °flinch outrages—and besides, they are of all means that could be devised the least likely to put an end to or relieve distress. The meanest capacity can un derstand this : that to destroy the property of another, is to ruin the man who, had he preserved his property, might have been in a condition to give employment to the poor. Let the lower classes bear this always in mind, that no person has or can have sh interest in their being unemployed, or being inadequately rewarded. When em ployment becomes slacker than usual, and wages reduced, it proceeds from causes over which neither govern ment nor individuals have any control. • But there is another point in which the subject is tu t .•, viewed.— Distress is not and cannot be removed by ; ; but riot is sure to involve the individuals concerned, ruin. The arm of the law is strong enough to lay Zola of them. They must be punished, because obedient , - to the laws must be enforced ; and their punishment is universally approved of. But it is not themselves only that they in jure, but their families. A son who is the support of his mother, and who engages in riots, involves his mother in distress ; a father deprives his children of their protector ; a husband exposes his wife to the horrors of want. A rioter then can neither be a good son, a good husband, nor a good father ; he must be a fool, because he takes the most effectual way to aggravate his distress; he must be a dishonest man, because he would invade and injure the property of his neighbour. We are happy to find, that there is no just ground for alarm to the commercial worbl upon the subject of the late regulations in the ports of Russia. In our last Paper we inserted a letter from the. British Consul at Petersburg, mentioning that the British trade would be in future subject to very severe restrictions. The matter has been taken up by the Russian Consul here. The correspon dence between the Governor of the Russian Company in London and the Russian Consul was posted up at Batson's Coffee-house yesterday : the former apologizes for making public Mr. Bayley's letter, which he admits gave a wrong impression to the public mind ; but that be would caution Mr. Bayley from using such linguag,e in future ; that the regulations in Russia were well known by our trade; and that the agitated feelings of the public regarding the reported severe restrictions would soon subside. Mr. A. de Dubotchefsky, in reply, asserts, that he finds it an imperious duty immediately to remove the impression from the public, of any hostility or misunderstanding on the part of Russia and that, as Mr. Thornton declined any further explanations, he immediately transmits the whole correspondence to the City, to prove that the best understanding exists between the two Courts.. Ministers have received official dispatches from his Excellency Sir J. Leith, at Barbadoes, dated the 30th of April, containing the details of the insurrection which had been happily suppressed, and with the particulars of which the Public are already acquainted. It is now dis covered, that but for the premature breaking out of the insurrection on the 14th instead of the 17th, (which, it seems, was the day fixed on,) it would have been much more formidable than it proved to be.—There have been symptoms of insurrection both at Antigua and Guada loupe ; but they were seasonably suppressed, and every thing remained tranquil when the Flora sailed. Extract of a letter from Malta, dated 18th May, via Marseilles :—" It is said (indeed promulgated by Govern ment),that the Bey of Tunis has lost his head by his own son, fitr liberating the Christian slaves ; and that in the absence of the British fleet, they had equipped their fri gates, and were determined to take every thing they met with.—lt is currently reported, that one English vessel has been taken, and the crew murdered." Lord Exmouth has succeeded, it is said, with the Barbary States, in prevailing upon them to liberate above 2500 Christian slaves, principally Neapolitans, Sicilians, and Sardinians; 1700 had been a::tually sent to their respective homes, and the dungeons were expected to be cleared in a few weeks.—This is good ; but subsequent events have sliewts ti that force, and not negociatiou, lutist put an end to this horrible system.

We are happy to state that the Princess Charlotte is perfectly recovered of her late indisposition, and now takes daily riles with her illustrious Consort, as licreto fore. Thursday and Friday they received numerous Addresses of congratulation. Last night the illustrious Pair visited Covent-Garlen Theatre, to see Mrs. Siddons's exquisite representation of the character of Lady Macbeth. They cams early to the Theatre. God tare Me King and Mite Britannia were sung in aprnirable style, and seemed to interest much the Royal auditors; but with the performance of the great actress they sceme4 at all times pleas e d, an d occasionally almost electrifi. Youiso's Macbeth had great merit. The house was crowded to excess, and the performance was enthusiastically applauded.- -Tom Thumb was the Farce of the Evening, and "sent its hearers" laughing to their homes. We were happyto sec that her Royal Highness had scaacely a trace . of her recent indisposition. The marriage of the Princess Mary and the Duke of Gloucester is postponed from Tuesday next; and another day has not yet been fixed for it. It may be delayed, for three weeks, or a month. The reason is, that great alter ations and improvements are to be made at Bagshot Park, which must be completed before the marriage: the mansion there being irtended for the reception of the Royal couple, immediately after the ceremony. The Princess of Wales has arrived at Malta, from. Tunis. We understand, that early next Session, the attention of Parliament will be caned to the present miserable situation of the bays employed in sweeping chimnies. Their condition is most deplorable ; and the complaints to which they are liable are of the most distressing na ture. Monday being the anniversary of the day when the immortal battle of Waterloo commenced, the Office!' • of the Horse Guards at Windsor gave a grand dinner at the Cavalry Barracks to those of the Foot Guards - quartered there ; and nextday the Officers of the Boot gave an equally splendid dinner in return. At two o'clock all the privates of the two regiments who were in the battle had a dinner given them at the Long-walk, consisting of roasted beef and plum-puddings and a pint of wine each—the latter presented them by Mr. Carbnell, wine-merchant of Windsor. The Duke of York was present at this gratifying sight, and afterward► partook of the dinner with the Officers at the Barracks. On this occasion the colours which were in the battle, and which were in a tattered state, were displayed at the head of the table, and those new ones granted to the regiment in lieu, at the foot. Tuesday the Officers of the three regiments of Foot Guards who were at the battle of Waterloo gave a din ner at the Thatched-house tavern, in commemoration of that day. A superb Statue of Mr. Fox been erected in the upper part of Bloomsbury-square, facing the Statue of his. Noble Friend, the late Francis, Duke of Bedford. It is in bronze, the workmanship of Mr. Westmacutt, and. does him high honour. Dort.—Sunday morning an hostile meeting took place between the Marquis of Buckingham and Sir Tho— mas Hardy at Kilburn Wells. After discharging a brace of pistols each, without effect, tho .camas inter fered, and an amicable adjustment of differences took place. The quarrel, we understand, originated, from some misinformation, received by one of the parties, re specting an i famous anonymous letter, which some base assassin has contrived to circulate ; but of which,. we are happy to state, it is now satisfactorily ascertained, the party suspected had not even the remotest knowlsslge. EATON THE PEDESTRIAN.—Ihis extraordinary indit idual still continues (notwithstanding his evidant derlideofstr , neth. lameness,andswelling of the limbs)to strugglein the perhanra ace 'of his task, and is himself still. confident of sneers.

The crowds who witness his exertions increase, and he has profited not a little lay their liberality, lie has two additional persons ap pointed to attend him, making at present eiVit ;. and bets in crease watch him. —Last evening at seven o'clock, he was cheered by the multitude upon his completins, 432 miles.
