near waking his escape, and on being overtaken, re plied to the Count De Clermont, who asked what could have induced him to commit such a crime: " I wished to deliver France from its most cruel enemies." On being also asked by whom he had been paid for so atrocious u crime, he answered with much indignation, " I have been paid by no one.' He has since been examined before the Ministers, when his replies were as follows : Q. What induced you to commit this crime my opinions, my sentiments. Q. What arc they ?—.l.

Ou Sunday evening the Duke de Berri by the Land of an assassin, as he had just let• the Opera with his, Duchess. The Opera was by ex traordinary command, from the Dole awl Duchess of Berri, the assassin availed himself to lk in wait his unfortunate victim. The ❑ouc u the ruffian i, said to be Loma, and he had medi tated the death of the Duke tar the two last years, iu 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. His Royal Highness was proceeding from the Opera, and had one leg on the step of the carriage when the assassin struck him in the right side with a poignurd. The blood spouted out on the Dachess—the Prince uttered a piercing shriek and fell senseless on the ground. He was curried 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 'loyal Family, and is about thirty years of age While intormgating by M. De Cazes and others, he c:shibittxl the utmost indifference, and coolly admitted that he bad medi tated the crime for upwards of two years past. It u us at first imagined that the assassination was con nected with politics, but this was not the case, as it originated alone. in private mike. The . Duke of Berri was the next heir to the Throne of France, I had he •urvived the Duke of Angouleme The murder ha:; produced considerable agitation through out Paris; and occasioned much affliction to the Royal Family. We have now atehentie statements direct . front Cadiz, so late as the '49th of January; and as being transmitted by u Gentleman of undoubted loyalty, they eannot be suspected of leaning to the revolu tionary side of the question. The revolters had lately received a formidable accession of Officers in sixteen chiefs- . of battalion and a brigadier, all o whom had teen under arrest since 0 Dunncl's affair, and bad* gone over, taking with them the officers and guard of the prison. But they had re ceived a still more important accession in the person of a Nobleman, of one of the first families in Spain, a Grandee and a Major General, who had rendered himself use obnoxious by his revolutionary principles, as to induce Government to put bin into confine...- went. He and his brother were arrested at Grenada, and had been lately transmittal to a prison of the buiNtisition at - Saffaigvi, ca - G r aillON. PR has escaped and joined the troops. The mode of his escape is still a mystery, but it is- generally believed that a forged order front. die. Ifuriaitor General at Madrid had been receiied'at•tfie-prisos.. The itronglortress of La Cara was taken by teesciery, or rather from the garrison entertaining the same sentiments as the Patriots. la this entergenc) considerable efforts had been made to collect troops round the Isla. The garrisons of Estremadura and Castile had been or dered to march, and General Preyrc, whose head quarters were at Seville, had, between Carmine and that city, about • 14,000 men. • Flowerer, there seemed to be no fear on the part of the officers, either of the King's troops, or of desertion among their own, for they had a few days before made an excursion with two columns of 1,500 each, and drove every thing before them as far u Xeres Cadiz was completely blockaded nit the land aide, by the possession of Port St Mary. The Leaders of the Constitutional Army had pablished Manifestoes, declaring that their object was the Constitution as established by the Cortes. The fidelity of the army, in general, was suspected, and a change of measures was obviously required, and to increase the public embarrassments the King was suffering under a fit of the gout. The preceding fads coming from unquestionable authority, show what little reliance can be placed in the accounts inserted in the Paris . Payers of the state of affairs in Spain. fe It was generally believed, that several of the mi— nisters received their dismissals at a Cabinet Conn. cil. which his Majesty held on Tuesday last— the reason assigned was at once rUliculous stud a libel on our new Kin;,;. It was said, that qualms of c onscience occasioned them to refuse lending their aid, towards obtaining a divorce between the King and Queen —this is ridiculous—loccausc it can hard- . - "Mt ^9l •Gi ••:: 61 ly be . suppesed 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 tie introduc tion of such a measure. Every one knows how alert Crown Officers have always been to curry 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 theireudeavours even against the innocent; there is, therefixe, we are certain, no ground fur the disgraceful assertion, and we should gladly sec 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. _ .
