THE NATIONAL REGISTER. LONDON: MONDAY, APRIL 21, 1817. THE lamented indisposition of the Speaker has, as our readers will perceive, again postponed the proceed ings in Parliament. The Speaker asked for. n week ; but, on the motion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, twelve . days were allowed. This was liberal and pro per. No possible injury can result from a delay of four or five days; and we are surprised to notice the paltry wailing.; of certain opposition prints on this sub ject. Mr. Ponsonby spoke with greater krnity than bss friends write; and surely his judgment cannot be much inferior to those who arc so clamorous on such trifles : but the truth is, that all great leaders are more prudent than those whom they lead. They know bet ter hew to handle the " pegs and wires"—they can better judge of the bearings—the springs and safety valves—the nice points and delicate screws by which the machine is regulated. Their followers are for dashing all before them—they would seen throw the regulating wheel off its axis—they would burst the boilers with a vengeance, and let out all the steam at once, and inundate the whole factery with the scald ing liquid from which it issued; or, if they prefer a tame rl.t Teal allusion, they would quickly set the 1 •. ,rlt! c, sv . •: , tver difficulty they m;lst find in ‘;e e T. THE NATIONAL REGISTER: We are sorry to learn that Mr. Abbott's eye-sight is e9nsiderably affected by the disease under which he is at present 2. sufferer ; but which, we arc happy to find, is topical, and not general. It is, in fact, confined to the face and head. We are happy to ann?unce, that the answer given yesterday to the numerous enquiries at the Speaker's house was, that lie is much better. It is generally believed, that if the Speaker should not be perfectly recovered before the termination of the adjournment, his Peerage and Pension will be granted, and a new Chairman will be elected. The Ministerial Candidate is Mr. Manners Sutton. THE SECOND ItEFor•.T of th' SF.I.TICT COMMITTEE of FINANCE was delivered on Saturday. It relates en tirely to the Army; and is of great importance; but the late hour at which we received it compels us to postpone any adequate abstract of its contents. We may, however, briefly observe, that considerable reduc tions have been made, anti more are mem:nem/NI in several Public departments The Report is lay volu minous. It concludes by saying, " That on the charge of 35,0001. Exchequer Fees, your Con tee observe with much satisfaction, that in conse quence of the Lite generous and particular conduct of the distinguished Noblensau wlts holds the only Tellerlibip whirl continued upon the old establishment, the whole produce of those fees, with some inconsiderable exceptions, is now ap plicable to national purposes, in conformity to the Act for regulating the Exchequer, 234 of the King, without af tiirtling an increase of emolument to any individual what ever." We have received Paris Papers of Monday, Tues day, and NVeditesday last; the French Funds ri,e rapidly. On Wednesday last much stock was bought at 67f. 55e.; a rise of nearly 2 per cent. since the pre ceding Saturday. Orders have been given, that the roads which the King has been accustomed to take in his different rides be repaired, and kept in the best state ; hence it is presumed that his Majesty will next week begin his morning rides. The Duke of Orleans and his family are arrived at Paris. M. Talleyrand is gone to his country seat at Valen cay. The Emperor of Russia has advanced his Aide-de- Camp, General Pozzo di Borg°, to the rank of Lieu tenant-General. The rescript, signed with the hand of his Majesty. announcing this mark of distinction, is couched in terms the most flattering and honourable. Saturday se'nnight was a day of rejoicing at Paris, as the anniversary of the entrance of Monsieur, the King's brother, into the capital in 1814. The Moniteur con tains some mawkish verses on the occasion. The King, by a Royal Ordonnance, has appropri ated, in a humane and considerate manner, the sum voted in tho Budget of 1817, for the maintenance of the Clergy. It is dispensed among the poorer classes en tirely. The Prince de Brogue, Bishop of Ghent, who em broiled himself with the Government of the Nether lands, has fled to Paris, where arrived on the Mina. It is said that the late Marshal Massena was a Jew, and that his name was properly Manasseh. He has left 40 millions of francs--above a million and a half of our money. By French papers to the 18th instant we kart), that the Duke and Duchess of Orleans arrived et Paris on Tuesday evening, the I Pith ; and on the following day went to pay their respects to the King of France, and the other branches of the Royal Family. It is stated, that the disbanded household company of Noailles is to be reorganized, and to do duty by the first of May. If so, the ranks of that corps must be principally filled by new names, the old members having been ordered by his Majesty to retire to their estates in different and dis tant provinces. The Russian Ambassador at Paris, Count Pozzo di Borgo, has been promoted by the Em peror, with flattering expressions of esteem, to the rank of Lieut.-General in the Russian armies. Some farther particulars are mentioned in these journals concerning the attempt upon the life of the • Crown Prince of Sweden. It appears that the projected assassination was to have taken place at a masked hail —a scene of the same description as that which proved fatal to Gustavus 111. The fete was held, but the Prince Royal and his son were absent, having received a timely warning of their danger. Meanwhile Berna dotte has not been feeble or inactive. Ile has held counsels, issued vijorvis orders, and what is more material to his security—has marched large bodies of troops to the capital. It is not unlikely that he may still have a tight for his crown; hut the intellectual character of his unfornate rival, is a host in Berna dotte'S favour. The ex-ling, they say, is at Frank fort-on-the-Oder. It is said, that Mr. Thornton, who has been rocallt d from Stockholm, is liing out as Britith Minister to the Ginn of Rio Janeiro. ATEIL The marring,-e of madame Murat with (encral Mac donald has Item celebrated at Vienna. 11u• ctdivant. queen has just, purchased the Lordship of Kottingbrons„ tour kagues from Vienna, in the neighbourhoA of Baden. The King of the Netherlands has rendered himself exttentely p.)pular by eonceeding to the inhabitants of Antwerp the entire abolition of the Droll de Tut, which annoyed them so much; and his Slajesty has likewise ordered all monies paid under it to be refunded. The Holy Alliance, it seems, is making a rapid pro-1 Kress; Sweden has acceded to it, and the Courts ,of Weimar, Cassel, Hanover, Oldenburg, and Mecklen burg, have been invited to it. Austria and Saxony had already become parties to it.—There are individual.; who still cannot believe but that earthly objects arc tha chief purpose of this confederacy. Flamburgh Papers, brings intelligence from Stock. holm to the end of March. All eyes in the North or Germany, are turned towards Sweden. Thesituation of the Crown Prince is sufficiently embarrassing ; but the real cause of alarm bus ut length traspired. Orders have been sent to the coast at Schonen, to prevent the admission into Sweden of all s. rangers, of suspicious ap pearance. This implies, that the young Prince of Swe den, the Son of Gustavus, who was deposed, is expectesi to put himself at the head a the troops and peasantry. If this event takes place, all is over with Bernadotte. The Gazette of the Lower Elbe dated April 2, says, "every thing bears the aspee* of the greatest tran quillity ;.but still some degree of uneasiness exists. It is not known whether any persons have bee narrested." Several regiments have h2en ordered to different sta. tions in the capital. Philadelphia, New York, and Ti zteti Papers, have been received. Those from the two latter cUes are to the :20th of March. Mr. MJnroe, the new Presi•lent, was sworn into office on the 4th, on which occusion he made a long speech, explanatory of the principles width will govern kis Administration, and the causes of the prosperity of the country. The prosperity he chiefly at tributes to the circumstance, that the Government has been in the hands of the people, who choose able and faithful Representatives: and anticipates that while the constitutional body retains its present sound and health. ful state, every thing will be safe. "It is only," he says, " when the people become ignorant and compt when they degenerate into a populace, that they are incapable of exercising the sovereignty." Ile profi:sses his sincere desire to preserve peace, so far as depends on the Executive, on .just principles with all nations, claim ing nothing unreasonable of any, and rendering to each what is its due ; but experiencing the fortune of other nations, the United States, he adds, may again be in volved in war, and as a security against these dangers, he recommends the fortification of the coast and inland frontiers, and the regulation of the army, navy, and The following are the chief Members of Mr. Monroe's administration :—Mr. John Q. Adams, 'Sc. cretary of State ; Mr. Crawford, of the Treasury ; Mr. Shelby, of the War De s , artment ; and Mr. Crowning. shield, of the Navy.—"llie Naticrial hitelligcnccr of the 25th of February, states, that the negociation with Spain, carried on at Washington between Mr. Monroe and Don Louis de Onis, terminated on the preceeding Friday ; it appears that the Spanish Minister, though he has powers from his Government to treat, has, after, all, no instructions. The existing difference with Spain of course, remains in snspence.—The American Com modore Chauncey concluded a new Treaty with Algiers on the 25th of December, on the basis of the Treaty of June, 1815. Mr. Monroe, who is now President of the United States, was the American Minister in this country, in the year 1793, and afterwards in France, where he ex pressed himself so violently in favour of the revolution ary doctrines, that he was recalled in consequence by President Adams. With his present sentiments we are unacquainted. It is said that Air. Alonroe lost a lcg in the first American war. The citizens of Washington voted an Address to Mr. Madison, on his retiring tram the Presidency : his reply relates entirety to the welfare of that City, stating, that ultimate good will flow from the disaster which beta the capital. 'Fhe accounts received in America from Monte Video state, that this place was about to surrender ; hut whe ther to Artigas, or to the Portuguese, we arc not tcld. The Patriots of Buencs Ayres hud refused all usistance to those of Monte Video In the house of Assembly in Lower Canada, the Speaker notified to the House, on the 21st Febroary, that he hatl the same iirrning signed warrants fir the imprisonment of S. W. Monk, Esq. one of the Judges of the colony, conformably to the order of the House ; after which, the Depiity-Serjeunt at Arms at t',.• 1 or, infimmed the House, that, in obedience to its or r, he had lodged S. W. Mock, Esq. in the common gaol of the diatzict.
