THE NATIONAL REGISTER. JAN. 14. closed, and at the moment of reading the last article con cerning the Regicides, the passions were instantaneonsly roused, the speech was hailed with unanimous cries of rue l e Hui ! and such was its effect, that but three Deputies stood up when called on to oppose the amen Iment l not withstanding the King's personal sentiments and wishes were well known, and that the Ministry had declared they would resign sooner than acquiesce. There is a report that the Duke of Wellington would have already quitted Parts, had it not been for the singu lar fermentation which reigns throughout the whole of this busy metropolis, on the subject of the Amnesty Bill. It is said, the number of foreign troops his Grace states as in dispensible fur the tranquillity of the city,has not as yet met with the concurrence of his Majesty. The Dutch Papers have brought some official documents, published on the annexation of Priezland to Hanover ; but of little interest in themselves. We learn, by a letter from Bran denburgh, that the Landwehr are to be continued during the peace. A letter from Rome states, that his Holiness the Pope is un dergoing a very severe penance; and hints, that it is in con sequence of his conduct towards Buonaparte when in the ple nitude of his power. • An article from Ghent states, that a Legate-a-Latere has been appointed by the Pope to reside at the Court of Brussels ; of course, with the permission of the King of the Netherlands. The increascd love of reading, especially political writings, is ncticed as one of the most remarkable changes at Vienna. The new year commenced with two new periodical publica tions in that city. We understand that the following are the regiments intended to remain in France:— CAVALRY.-Ist and 2d Dragoon Guards; 3d Dragoons ; 7th, 11th, iTth, 13th, 15th, and 16th Light Dragoons and Staff Corps of Cavalry. INFANTRY —lst, 3d, and 4th Foot (3d battalion) ; sth, 6th, 7th, 9th, 21st, 23d, 27th, and 29th ditto (Ist battalion); 37th, 39th, and 40th ditto (2d battalion); 42d, 43d, 57th, 71st, 70th, 81st, 88th, and 91st ditto (Ist battalion) ; 95th ditto (Ist and 2d attalions) Garrison Company. NATION AL SOCIETY for the EDUCATION Of the POOR in the Principles of the Established Church.—Thursday the Gene ral Committee of the National Socitty held at their Monthly Meiting; 'present -77 Archbishop of Canterbury, Bishops of London and Carlisle, Right Hon.

Eleven fresh Societies and Schools were united to the Na tional Society, and some grants of money were made towards the building.or enlarging of school rooms. • An institution has been established by theladies of Mansfield, for the clothing of the poor at this inclement season of the year. It appears by their printed Report, that they have already been enabled from only a 36 weeks subscription of :he trilling sum of Id. per week, to relieve 68 persons. Saving Ranks are now completely organized in Portsmouth, at Winchester, Southampton, Salisbury, Chatham, and Exeter. Col. Beaufoy has invented an instrument to measure and register the .ise and fall of the tide throughout the whole flow and ebb. The following is said to be a c3rrect statement of the hop duty for the current year:—. d. f. X s. (1.

At the very nionunt he was leaving the Concier. 4erie, leaning on his child and the femme de chamlire, ones of the jailors took him by the arm and said to him, 44 1, am extremely grieved, Madame—you must be miserable indeed." When he had got info the court-yard, he found but one of the chairmen belonging to the sedan•chair, the other was drinking in a cabaret. But his servant, who knew him immediately, hired a porter who was standing by, and set off with the sedan chair. At the turning of the next street he got into a cabriolet, nlikh w•as waiting for him and drove away. He left parrs by the Barriere of Charenton, and at ten leaguFs distance took the post road to Flanders. lie travelled with a foreign passport. Madame Lavatette had ; let a very few persons into her plan —Courier. THE AMINE' I I' OF LOUIS XVIII. The Amnesty Law as passed in France by a compromise which gives us reason to suspend our judgment upon its effects, Only three of the journals notice the law with observations. and they of course are in its favour, but the funds fall there since its passing; and all private letters announce, that it has created great alarm amongst the purchasers oldomains. Not that they, any more than the Royalists, would stand to defend the Regi cides ; but. considering that even these were protected, they held them as a barrier against the invasion of their property ; hut now M. llethisy begins wish this alarming principle, " Yes. the Chamber ought to be more severe than the King." Who can deny that the Emigrants have been plundered of their pro perty for their aoournent to the King and the bonne cause, ergo, ere. And these purchasers of national domains, and voters for tle additional acte see now no protection in the Charter. That was not more pecu liarly the Will of the King, than his proclamation of mercy ; And, say they but with too inudi probability, as pri vate letters report, if a pardon promul..4ated by toe Kim - 4 and supported by the Ministry is of no avail, how long will the 75 Members who voted for the•Catagories, maintain themselves even in their present limits ? We shall all he the victims of an, implacable revenge. For our own parts, we are surprised that recourse was had to the Legislature at all. l'itostc e•rioN and l'A it DON are indis putable Iticturs of the CROWN ; acid to retract a pa;llon once , ;iven, is to dim the lustre of the fairest jewel th .t the Crown can. possess.
