Paris Journals and Private Letters to the 3d arrived on Saturday. Quarrels between the Royalists and Half pay Officers continue ; anti with those who wear flowers emblematical of Bitonaparte. Disturbances at Versailles arose from some Officers of the Guard making a party against an Actress, and some person of the town taking her part, in consequence of which the Theatre was closed, and some officers suspended from service. The Duke of Helium), by desire of the King, has issued a vigorous order on the subject. By a ccounts from Madrid, of the c2Oth of March, the King of Spain has appointed Lieutenant-General Don Joachim Pezuela, Viceroy of Peru, in consequence of his success against the Insurgents. The King has issued a circular complaining of the deficiency of the taxes, in New Castille, Cadiz, Barcelona, &c. Thursday Journals and private letters were received front Paris; the fu arc very barren, but the latter state that the public attention was still occupied with the affair at the Theatre respecting the play of Germa ta;cvs ; several duels had taken place between the Roy alists and Buonapastists, and two persons bad fallen ; many other similar contests were expected, the more se, because as vet noa one Royalist had either &Ben, or been daugereusly wounded ; this rendered their ad versaries furious, and it was believed they would con tinue to create quarrels and to ti g ht till they hail ob tained to me victories on their side. It is further stated that a new direction has been given to the Ministers of Louis XVIII. in consevenee of the extraordinary feeling excitvd by the tra.nsly of GermanicuA. It has been fitund necessary to check the designs of the Ite• publican party, which began to a.stinte a consistency anti force altogether incompatible with the principles of the established constitutional government. —The author of a Jaeobine work, entitled Como', has ken con demned hetiore the tribunals. Letters thou Vienna luFortill in the Paris Papers, sa!, that the Porte has to TIIE NATIONAL REGISTER. contend with a rebellious subject in the person of the Paella of Baglud, who having been formerly deposed by a tirman from Constantinople, refused to resign his power, and to acknowledge his successor. The Otto man troops had in consequence surrounded the town, • against which a vigrous siege was carrying on. The rebellious Pasha had numerous partizans. Advises from Hamburgh of the 26th ult. affirm, that a conspiracy has been detected for destroying the Crown Prince of Sweeden ; but the manner is various ly stated. In addition to the accounts in the Ham burgh papers, the private letters from Sweden contain several particulars. According to these, six assassins had been hired, and introduced secretly into the Palace to murder the Prince : but a timely dimovery of cis atrocious purpose happily prevented its accomplishment. The imminent danger to which the Crown Prince had been exposed having generally transpired, the people surrounded the Palace, Ana insisted on seeing m.o.— On presenting himself at a balcony, he was loudly cheered and satisfaction and good order were restored immediately. Another version of the affair had reach ed Hamburgh, according to which the life of the Crown Prince was threatened by a mob who surrounded the King's palace with the avowed object of putting him to death, but having addressed them from the balcony, offering to put his liti; at their disposal if they consider ed it an advantage to Sweden, he was greeted with repeated acclamations. The son of Gustavus, who was set aside to make room for Bernadotte, is living at the Court of Wurtemburg, the King being his cousin ; he is an accomplished young man, about twenty, educated in the Protestant religion. He is besides nephew to the Emperor Alexander, and it is understood on the Continent, that his claims to the Crown of Sweden are fully recognized by his august uncle. Another mail, which arrived on Friday night, confirms the in finanation, that a murderous attempt had been made upon the Person of the Prins;. Royal of Sweden, and has brought with it two documents of a very interesting nature. The first is the speech of the Prince to the Army : the second that to a deputation of the Citizens of Stockholm. His Royal Highness tells the citizens, that by an act of the nation, the late Royal Family was excluded from the throne: and we believe it will be admitted by the most impartial men, that between, the total ruin of the country and the dethronement of an infatuated and imbecile Monarch, there was no pos sible alternative. Bernadotte states farther, as a well known truth, that he was not eecessary to the fall of Gustavus. He says, that "he did not open a way to the Swecdish Crown by arms. The free choice of the nation called me: and this is the right on which 1 lean." He thed goes to contrast the miserable situation of the kingdom when he came among them, bringing as his "title and pledge, his sword and his deeds, ' with that in which it stands at present. Letters from the North of Germany give details of the combination of the great families in Sweden against the Crown Prince Bernadotte, who, however, is firmly sup ported by Russia. We have to report the improvement in the Funds.— Consols for Account on Saturday morning 7'.3.,4. It was finely said by a philosopher, on viewing some superb traces of architectural grandeur left behind them by the Romans in a conquered country, " Surely these p , ogle deserved to be masters of the world !" How much more delighted would he have been in contem plating the moral and intellectual blessings which Great Britain, with all her faults, real or imputed, has been the means of conferring upon mankind, wherever the spirit of adventure has carried her sons ! KING'S HEALTll.—Saturdny the quarterly meeting of the Queen's Council was held at Windsor, at which the following bulletin was agreed upon anti exhibited yesterday at St. James's • WiNnsos CASTLE, APRIL s.—The general state of his lin je'ty has been extremely quiet during the last month, and his Ma jesty's health continues to be very good, but his Majesty's disorder is unabated." The Lord Mayor has gained his cause at the Laun ceston Assizes, to the great satisf.ction of the mining interest. The Attorney General went down special on his behalf. The action regarded the right of pos se:sion of some copper mines, and the decision esta blishes that the instruments under which the Mines are held, are merely Licences, recoverable on the non performunce of the conditions. The cause, it is ex pected, will be re-argued in the Court of King's Bench. By accounts received from Leicester, we learn that eight of the Luddites, tried at that town, have been capitally convicted and received sentence of death. A ninth (John Slater) has been convicted under the Frame breaking Act, and sentenced to transportation Ihr lia. The tenth was seized with convulsion fits during his t ial, and being reported by a medical person to be in caixtble of attending to his defence, was remanded to prison._ London-wall, now removing wits so much difficulty, is reported to be 1300 vc:trs old ; but from an accurate examination of tli materials, no part of what has lately been polled down can be ascribed to any age prior to that of King John, when it was repaired, and probably in the state now found.

Government have at last adopted a measure, which will at once put an end to the noxious publications that have too long been permitted to poison the hearts of the steak and the thoughtless. From the following circular we anticipate the most salutary consequences. (COPIC)--eircsilar.—Whitchull, March 27, 1817. Mr Lonn,—As it is of the greatest importance to prevent, as leer as possible, the circulation of Blasphemous and Sedi tious Pamphlets, and W rdings. of %%Men, for a considerable time past, great numbers base been sold and distributed throughout the country; I have thought it my duty to con sult the Law Wheels of the Crown, %%nether an individual found selling, or in any 5% ay publishing such Pamphlets or WI Mims, might be brought immediately before a Justice of the Peace, limier a warrant issued for the pal pose, to answer for his condoet.
