43osittcript. THE NATIONAL REGISTEIL -iRENCII PIPERS. —...e.-- PARIS, Fen. 15 —At seven o'clock this morning the doars of the galleries of the Louvre were thrown open to a multitude, impatient to render the last homage to the best and most untinionate of Princes The body of his lute itnyal Highness the Duke of Berri was laid l'orth on a bed of state ; Priests re cited prlyers, and the guards of' Monsieur walked around, sword in hand. Front seven o'clock till two, more than thirty thousand persona, of all classes, defiled befbre these inanimate remains, with an order and circumspection which proved how profound was the grief' with which all present Were penetrated. 1 At three o'clock the doors of the Louvre were closed, and no more persons were permitted to enter. The cowardly assassin of the most generous of Princes, Lonvel, was conducted by two g endarmes, and placed close by the body of his august s ictint. The Prefect of l'olice, Count Angles, entered, fol lowed by M. Jacquinot de Pumpeluna, MM. flour goignon, Mars, and several other substitutes, and the murderer underwent the following examina tion : Q. no you recognize the Prince whom you have assassinated ? —A. I do. Q. I demand of you , once more, to reveal the name of your accomplices ?—A. I have none. Q. If the justice of men cannot induce you to tell the truth, think of the justice of God I—A. God is nothing but a word Ihe never came upon earth. Q. What could induce you to commit an action so criminal ? A. I could have wished to refrain from doing it. bat I could not. Q. What was your mod ;e ?—A. To make It serVe at a lesson to the great of my . country. Q. Do you persist in saying that no body has inspired you with the idea st this crime?-1. Yes. But that belongs to Jus tice; let it do its duty, and let it discover those whom it pre. sumes to be my a:complices. - Such are the oaly answers which they could ob tain from the wretch ; he signed them; and he was afterwards re-conducted to the Conciergerie. Immediately after the examination of this wretch, they proceeded to the opening of the body ; four va.'els de ehambre of the late Prince raised it from its bed of state, undearried it into an adjoining room, where were assembled doctors I'ortal, Dupytren, Dubois, &e They are now occupied in embalming the body. The Prince will lie in state, after \ to morrow, in a chapel lighted with ta p ers, and will remain there some days • During the interval, every necessary preparation will be made at the Cathedral of St. Denis , w here the obse q uies will take place, The King has n o t y et named the Pre ' late who is to pronounce the funeral oration. The King heard mass to-day in his apartments, and received nobody but the Archbishop of Paris. At half-rast two, there was a privy council of ministers It is worthy of remark. that on the day of the assassination of the Duke of Berry, some hawkers were seen carrying about some medals in lead, representing the image of a warrior leading a child by the hand. It is not said whether the police seized them. The Court is appointed to go into mourning for twenty-one days, reckoning from Wednesday the 16th instant, on account of the death of his Royal :hness. Thursday the Dike of York accompanied the Princess Sophia from Windsor to London to her Royal Highness's new residence at Cambridge House, where the Duke has visited his Royal Sista sevreral times since. Friday and 'inturday the I)uchess of Gloucester visited the Princess Sophia. SEIZURE or RAnICtL COFFEE. --Yesterday morning several persons, venders of Hunt's Radical Coffee, were visited by the officers of Excise, and co nsiderable quantities were seized and lodged in store of the office in Broad Street ; a singular trick was played upon the Excise people, on their appli cation at the shop of Mrs. Caine, in Fleet Street, fin. the same purpose ; it seems that a messenger had been dispatched, apprising Mrs. Curiae with the probability of a similar attention being paid to her stock of this imitative article, when she caused a sack to be nearly filled with ashes and other dirt, with a small quantity of the delinquent ankle at the top ; shortly afterwards the officers arrived, and actually seized the sack and its contents, and conveyed it to the grand store in Broad Street, where it now remains. Several other perins have also been proceeded against, and the legallity of selling the powder and also the herb tta will be shortly decided upon. A society has been formed to carry into effect the benevolent act of his Majesty, in appropriating Dartnioor forest for the employment of the poor of tl.e metropolis, particularly the pauper children; and his Majesty has become the patron of the soci ety. On Saturday, at three o'clock, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, two of the principal members of the society, waited upon the King at his palace in Pall-mall, to submit for his Majeajy's approbation the plan suggested for ,giving permanent employment to pauper children, under the direction of the society. _fi4 LONDON, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21. rltnY o'Clock, p.m. We this day give copious extracts from the French Papers of Friday last. They relate only to the assassination of the Duke de Berri. The pro cd.Aiirgs in the Chambers of Peers and Deputies (the Fr.urch /louses of Lords and Commons) are too long for its to attempt un abridgment of them. The Mi nisters of France, like the Ministers of England, embrace with avidity nay occurrence, however me lancholy, if tlu y can i recrt it to the purpose of the curtailment of the liberties of the people, or to the addition of the excessive power of the Crown (that is, the Nlioisters of the moment), and this they mo dest!y call the necessary strengthening the hands of Government. We lament the fall of the Duke de Ferri, not because we believe that he was by any nr,:ans an estimable Prince, but because we are chilled by. the horror of homicide under any, and eeipecially under so horrible, circumstances; but we execrate that cool calculating political feeling which can equally avail itself of the discontents produced by taw vat ion, or the murder of a Prince, as the means of depriving the people of their unquestioned r s lats. The French Ministers have dared to intro dtice to their doubtless equally pliant Parliament aiteasttres strongly resemblant to those which Lord Castlereagh dared to propose to, and had the power to carry through, the English House of Commons. We hope, on the approaching election, every Mem-• her will be recompensed who voted away the best palladium of English liberty, when lee assisted to wards the recent destruction of the liberties of the iress. It is worth observing, and it.is an observa- Om easily confirmed by any one who has the power, like ourselves, of reference to the original French I).p.a's, not only that the cAser of the Ministers of France, as to the necessity of the restrictive laws they are about to have enacted, is precisely the same a• that we lately heard from the Treasury Benches in the Chapel of St. Stephen, but that the speeches of MM. Cazes, I atour-Maulwurg, Pasquier, &c. &c. appear to be literal translations of those pro nounced in December last by the Earl of Liverpool, Lord Castlereagh, Mr. Canning, &c. &c. cut " There is more in this than is dreamt of in our philosophy." M. de Cazrs exclaimed from the Tribune— .. Gentkuien, in this alarming crisis, we demand of you foe one year, the renewal of the law of the lYth of February, 11317. W. deinsud the means of watching, in particular, over tar safety of the King, of his family, and of the state. All these ow menaced. We demand of you, therefore, 11. e ,er to offeol, with. llt being CUltiftelltit to so ti.rough any pscituissary judicial fo.m, any individual suspected of plots al mothmations 'Oat the person of the King, the safety of the Male, or that of the Royal Family. We hope not to have occasion to tt.e it, hut we ought to be invested with it, that we may not he misruled before opinions, plots, and vines of Ore same nature, witted might have the same wore, and which we must tutu aside or prevent. The tem. plows power winch we demand will he exercised wi.lo all the circitinspee • which its importance requires; the warrants of arrest will not be delivered but is the council of Ministers, and signed by thr.e of them." We need not remind our political readers how nearly this resembles the late jargon of the House of Commons ! 11%.‘ Royal Highness the Duchess of York has had but a very iaditkrent state of health lately. On triday morning last she was so much worse, that an express was sent off to Carltonlace, where the royal physicians have had a table prepared fur them ever since his Majesty's indisposition. 'cite messen ger arrived just as the physicians were sitting down to dinner ; but the urgency of the letter he brought was such, that Sir Henry Haltbrd immediately r 0-e from table, and in Jews than five minutes set out fur (kitlands in a chaise and four, the drivers being directed not so lose in,tant on the road. We are gled to know, however, that the paroxysm by which hs r lh.yal Highness was attacked, had in a great measure subsided before his arrival. Sir Hotly remained at Oatlands during the night, and it was announced on Saturday that her Royal Highness Wits much better. Conon sl3arktts. CORN EXCHANGE. FaineY, Frs. IR.
