THE NATIONAL REGISTER. LONDON : MONDAY, DECEMBER 23. This day being appointed for the farther examina tion of the persons confined on the charge of riotous and illegal proceeding on the day of the meeting in Spa-fields, it is expected, in consequence of what was stated by the Chief Magistrate on Wednesday, that the greater number of them will be fully committed for trial. It will be observed, from our report, that on Satur day, in the Ward of Farringdon Without, Mr. Thomp son, one of the city declaimers, reprobated the conduct of the Lord Mayor fur " wasting so much time in the perusal of the hoaxes respecting young Watson." What ever may be our notion of tie political sentiments of Mr. Alderman Wood, we did suppose that there would be but one opinion, and especially among his professed adherents, on the patience, industry, and fortitude with which he has exercised his magisterial functions under the late difficult and delicate circumstances; and we know no motive why these should be impugned by the oratorical gentlemen; unless it be that their jealousies have been excited, and their indignation awakened, by the approbation expressed of the deportment of our prin cipal municipal officer, by the noble Secretary for the Home Department. These humble opponents of the Court, existing in public notoriety only by the resist ance they give to the measures of government, sicken with vexation and disappointment whenever it happens that any concurrence can be produced between their old friends and the advisers of the Crown : their lan guage is the same as that which has been ascribed to the self-constituted patriots in a neighbouring kingdom, " Perisse la patrie, ; ' &c.—" Perish the country, if we and our comrades have no share in, its controul." The Galen, after a rapid passage of nineteen days from Boston, has brought very recent intelligence from the new world. The republican ship Prometheus, Capt. Wadsworth, had arrived from Cronstadt with fresh dis patches for the government at Washington relative to the late differences with the Russian Court. It was expected that the Consul of Alexander, with whose al lodged misconduct the dispute originated, would be re called, and that the amicable relations of the two states would be perfectly re-established. The truth is, that there is nothing in Vattel, or his precursors Grotios and Putfendorf, the text writers on the law of nations, that can, in any way, justify the Russian Amloassador or his master in the resentment that has been expressed on ac count of the juridical proceedings that have been com menced (and abandoned) under the criminal charges exhibited against the commercial agent of the Em peror. Accounts have been received from Constantinople which state, that the strong measure of the new capi tation tax has been carried into effect under nn onion nance from the Grand Seignor. The form of this in strument is the shortest that can be contrived— • sl e tole, sic jubee, stet pro retie's.. volurhaq."

It is stated in some of the papers, that Marshal Soult is in this country ; and that he has gone int!) the coun try on a visit to Lord Sefton. This is a mistake: there is a General or Crlonel Sault, however, in this country at present; and, we believe, he is nephew to the Mar shal of that name. lie has served as Aid-de-Camp in • campaigns of his uncle for the but ten years; timothy to the British who fell into his hands, in the Peninsula, was very conspicuous. • We received on Saturday the Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday last. These papers state, that on Monday last the Core. mission to which the Budget was referred, presented a Report in which it was unanimously recommended to the Chamber to adopt the Project of a Law for enabling Government to collect the four-twelfths of the land and personal contributions. There is an article in the Moniker of Wednesday, from Bourdeaux, which copies from an American Paper the account of the celebration of St. Louis's Day by the French Ambassador to the United States, Hyde de Ncuvillc. At this fete, the Ambassador, after giving. as a toast—" Toleration and union between men of different religions—to my fellow-citizens, the Protest. ants of the South and other parts of France;" took oc. casion to say—" They are persecuted for their religious opinions only in certain foreign journals, which have had the audacity and the meanness to fabricate odious falsehoods. Yes, Sir," addressing himself to the Bishop of Jersey, " I declare upon my honour that it is 313 abominable calumny."

"Lows re SAVINICR. —Lieut. General Vandeyilen, who commands in the Jura, constantly maintains in that depart ment the spirit of vi kilom and submission, which the situation of the country and wishes of the king equally require. Though exposed to the animadversions of those cielnsiva men, whose influence would have bees so fatal in a depart. ment, which, like that of the Isere, reqnires the greatest attention, Lieut.-Gen. Vancleydeit, resisted them with cou rage, and his efforts are eonstandy accompanied by sue. rest., as well by the esteem of all the true friends of the king. Despairing of being able to attack him in his political position, and forced to respect in Lis conduct the principles proclaimed by the monarch, the attack of these imprudent men was directed against his person. Thus one of the highest eutherities of the department, whese sole blame con sists in causing the king's will to be respected, is reduced to defend his personal honour against miserable intrigues ; and in the s line department, for example, the 'lnspector of the National Gnarl, M. de Drivel, who thinks fit to associate his name with the cries of Fire le Rui, and yet spares no re flection en the measures of government, is represented in some cut:riga its the model of Royalists.

The health of the inhabitants of the Sublime Porte has been of late gradually amending. The French hospitals are wholly unoccupied, and those belonging to the Greeks hove only forty-eight patients under the plague, comprehending those establishments both within and without Pera. The contagion has entirely disap. pearcd in the Morea and at Smyrna; but from the cx. tensivo regions of Albania this dreadful scourge of hu• inanity had not been withdrawn.
