On being also asked by whom he had been paid for so atrocious a crime, he answered with much indignation, " I have been paid by no one.'

TILE NATIONAL REGISTER. LOllllOll. MONDAY. FEBRUARY 21. -4110. We have received theParis,fournals of lN'ednestlay last. On Sunday evening the Duke de Berri fell by the hand of an assassin, as he had just left the Opera with his Duchess. The Opera was by ex traordinary command, from the Duke and Duchess of Berri, of which the assassin availed himself to lie in wait for his unfortunate victim. The name o the roam is said to be Louvet, and he had medi tated the death of the Duke for the two last years, in consequence of jealousy. The act was doubly THE NATIONAL REGISTER. atrocious, as exclusive of the dreadful deed, the Duke was in company with his Duchess, who is pregnant. Ilis Royal Highness was proceeding from the Opera, and had one leg on the step of the carriage when the assa.s.sin struck him in the right side with a poignard. The blood spouted out on the Duchess—the Prince uttered a piercing shriek and fell senseless on the ground. He was ei:rried back to his box in the Opera-house, and immediately attended by the first physicians in Paris'; but the private accounts say, he expired in seven hours after the wound was inflicted. The assassin is the son of the coachmaker to the King, and has been for a length of time employed by the Royal Family, and is about thirty years of age. While interrogating by M. De Cases and others, he exhibited the utmost indifference, and coolly admitted that he had medi tated the crime for upwards of two years past. It was at first imagined that the massination was con nected with politics, but this was not the case, as it originated alone in private malice. The Duke of Berri was the next heir to the Throne of France, had he survived the Duke of Angouleme. The murder has produced consideluble agitation through out Paris, and occasioned much affliction to the Royal Family. It was generally believed, that several of the mi nisters received their dismissals at a Cabinet Coun cil, which his Majesty held on Tuesday last— the reason assigned was at once ridiculous and a libel on our new King. It was said, that qualms of conscience occasioned them to refuse lending their aid, towards obtaining a divorce between the King and Queen —this is ridiculous—because it can hard ly be supposed that those men would halt half-way, who had gone so far as to advise the omission of all prayers for the Queen in our churches and chapels ; and it is, we think, a libel upon his Majesty to as sert that he wished to carry such a measure after his legal advisers, the Attorney, Solicitor, and Ad vocate General had declared to him that they could find no grounds on which .to justify the introduc tion of such a measure. Every one knows how alert Crown Officers have always been to carry con victions against those who have been under the dis pleasure of their employers ; and our history fur nishes proofs that the " Learned Gentlemen," can sometimes succeed in their endeavours even against the innocent ; there is, therefore, we are certain, no ground for the disgraceful assertion, and we should gladly see those punished who originated it ; for at such a moment no friend to his country, its government, or its welfare, would wish to render unpopular a sovereign on his accession to the throne. The following energetic address to the Spanish troops in Andalusia has been published by Lion Quiroga, one of the Patriot Chiefs. " Soldiers! placed at your head by the choice of the of of the army, I shall speak to you with that frankness which ought to oust between companions in arms. " Our Spain is on the verge of destruction. your ruin would be completed by that of the country ; you were destined to death, more for the purpose of releasing the Government from the dread inspired by your courage. than to make a conquest of the Colonies—a thing which is sow betanne impossible. In the mean time. your families remained in the most merciless slavery. under a tyrannical and arbitrary Government. which disposes at will of the properties, the existence. and the liberties of the un happy Spaniards. Soldiers, this Government was about to destroy the nation, and ends by destroying itself. It was not possible any longer to endure its sway. Ou the one hand. violence and weakness. and on the other ' only indignation and contempt were provoked. whilst, to ren der the nation happy, the Government ought so inspire conthlence, love. and respect. " Soldiers. let us employ for our welfare and that of our countrymen. the arms which have secured the independence of the nation against the power of Bonaparte ; the enterprise is Lamy and glorious.—Does there exist a Spanish soldier who will oppose our views? No ! in the very ranks of those whom the Government may assemble, you will find brothers who will join us; and it' some base born miscreants should dare to turn their arms against you. let them perish as the sattelites of tyranny should do, unworthy of the name of Spaniards! " Soldiers, I depend upon you ; you are the worthy children of the country, justify yourselves as such Uniuo and discipline —this is whist I recommend to you. I shall have the satisfaction of recompensing those who may distinguish themselves: but if any one forgets his duty, I shall prove that authority has not been confided to me in vain, ano that the energy of a govern ment, which seeks good, is :dear, superior to that of despots. " Soldiers, victory awaits our banners, and in her train the glory and rewards which the country s ill lavishly bestow. (signed) Awrois io QtrlHAtin. " General in Chief of the National Army." " Head Quarters, at San Fernando, Jan. 5, 18•20" Monday Mr. Hill, one of his Majesty's Messen gers, arrived at Viscount t : ust ereagh 's office, with despatches from Lord Stew:at, atN icnna. ~~.:.. We havessincere satisfaction in hearing that his Majesty, with the munificence of a Sovereigns has declared his intention of fulfilling to the letter all the intended bequests of the late king, his revered Parent, though the settlement was not executed. His late Majesty's intentions were fully set firth, and though thr steed had nut received the sigs.siture and seal required by the law, the present King feels at they ought to be sacred to a Son and Successor. A letter received front the Spanish main states, that there has been an action between the inde pendent army, under G,nierul Bolivar, and the Royalist advance of Morillo's army, when the latter was driven on the main body. A splendid silver cup and cover, 18 inches high, with a suitable inscription thereon, was presented to Mr. John Brookes, irawnbroker. of high street, Bloomsbury, on Thursday last, for his successfi►l exertions in bringing to issue a gnestitn► of vital importance, affecting the property and liberty of the pubjftt, by the resistance he made to the assumed right of the Bunk to retain all notes which they chose to pronounce to be forged, and charging with felony any one who dared to resist them. The par ticulars of this case were laid beti►re Parliament, in a petition presented by Mr. Brougham, and fully developed upon the trial before Lord lillenbornugh and a Special Jury, in the King's Beach, June 2.9, 1818. On Saturday evening as Jeremiah Gardner, fishmonger, was driving into.Cliehnsfined, his hors:: and vehicle came in contact with another horse and cart, by which accident the animals were so murt► injured, that are both since dead. Mr. Gard ner had the same day been offered upward:: of 40 guineas for his horse; the other was of less value. On Tuesday as John Gravelling was working in a marl-pit, at Thurgarton, the jamb fell, and he was unfortunately killed, lie has left a wife ant five children. On the 1 Ith instant, an inquisition was taken at Beyton, by J. Wayman, Gent. Coroner for Bury, on the body of .l. Gill, who was at work in a clay-pit, and was accidentally killed by a quantity of the earth caving in upon him. On Thursday night, or early on Friday morning, the shop of Mr. R. Crane, of Blofield, was broken open, and drapery, he. to a considerable amount stolen. The thieves conveyed the property away in a cart, which was traced as far as Thorpe turnpike. gate, when all further pursuit proved useless. A few nights since the pantry of Mr. Henry Norton, of Old Beckenham, was broken open and robbed of several articles. The thieves were alarmed by some part of the family and made off, or it is very probable their depredations would have gelid further. " A person now resident in Mill, %vim at Windsor, his native place, about a year before his Majesty's malady last commenced; and wishing to see his Nl:firsts., went before eight o'clock in the morning to the castle ; and as soon as the Hock struck eight, me gales were throe open, anti our correspondent was 'urged to the pri vate chapel by an attendant, who left him there alone, when he brought attoOter gentleman.
