LONDON, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2L The French Government has enlarged Mr. Bow ring because " the offence with which he is charged does not by the laws of France subject him to im prisonment' —thus has an Englisiaman been confined, with studied severity, for more than a month, during a great part of the time deprived of any and every intercourse, shut up in a loathsome dungeon, and submitted to the inquisitorial process of questions to which he was constrained to reply (k prices ye, tat) and after all, the organ of that power which had acted thus unjustly, is compelled to confess, in the order fur his release, that his detention has been illegal, and that the Bourbons had added another ground to the innumerable ones before exist ing, for the contempt and execrations of the nation which rendered itself infamous by re storing, at the point of the bayonet, to France a dynasty which every Frenchman, for whom Ms country ought not to blush, cursed in his heart, while he dared not anathematise it with his tongue now remains for our new Foreign Secretary to do his duty—he has already created a degree of well deserved popularity by the share Le had in inter. THE NATIONAL REGISTER dieting the interference of the " Holy Alliance" with the internal affairs of Spain--he has now to add to that, by a against the gross out- rage committed against the English nation, by the unjust confinement of one of its subjects—and in that remonstrance, if he do his duty, he will insist upon reparation for the past, and security for the future—under a threat of such a kind as would male the French Government tremble—inasmuch as its annihilation must follow a rupture with E 'gland, we heartily and sincerely hope, though distinctly and decidedly opposed to his general po litics, that in this instance Mr. Canning will so vindicate the insulted dignity el the English cha racter, as to enforce such an amende as is due to it in the present flagrant case. The advantage or propriety of prosecution for the publication of works impugning the established Re ligion has been doubted—we have already stated our opinion that in some instances it may be necessary, to prevent the uninformed being misled by plausible illusions, they may not be competent to detect; but we were not prepared to suppose, that under the mild and tolerant Government of George the Fourth the powers of the Inquisition could have been exercised —the powers of that Institution, the destruction of which is the brightest trait of all the others in the character of the late glorious Spanish Revolution— yet such, we find, has been the case in Edinburgh, where a meeting, held for the purpose of con stituting a Society of Free-thinkers, was interrupted by the Sheriff, attended by the police, the leaders taken into custody, and the audience dispersed, after giving their names and addresses. We wait for fur ther particulars—but from what we yet know, it seems to us that the Sheriff has passed the bounds of his duty—we believe that no law of the United Kingdom will justify such interference—nor do ae think there ought to exist any power in this world which might dictate to a man by which road he should seek happiness in the next ! Upon the sentence of Bridle, the ruffianly gaoler of Ilchester, we say nothing, fur nothing is needed— the virtue and political impartiality of the Judges at present composing the Court of King's Bench, can not be placed in a stronger light than will be re flected upon their memories, by a contrast between the sentence passed upon Henry Hunt (30 months' imprisonment and heavy sureties for three years) and that upon the miscreant who tortured the prisoner who was committed to his custody, a fine of fifty pounds, and no sureties at all !!! Private letters from Verona, of the 10th instant, mention, that Congress is proceeding with dispatch in the discussions and arrangements for which the Diplomatists hove assembled. The conferences have been frequent and long, which have given rise to a variety of rumours, but, as resting on a slender foundation, they should be received with due cau tion. These have produced so much agitation and stock jobbing speculation, that, to put an end to the alarm, it is the intention, it is said, of Congress to close its business as soon as possible. The best founded reports are favourable to the maintenance of peace, and the utmost cordiality exists among the Allied Sovereigns, on whom depends, if nut the destiny, at least the tranquillity, of Europe. So long, however, as Congress continues sitting, many circumstances may arise to disturb its harmony, as there are many conflicting interests to consult in its arrangements. The settlement of matters relating to Turkey, it is believed, arc on the point of being adjusted; but we doubt much if they will give sate• faction to the Christian community of Europe, who have taken so lively an interest in the affairs of the persecuted Greeks. France, the letters affirm, has yielded to the general necessity and desire of peace, which has been strenuously urged by the united re• presentations of Austria, Russia, Prussia, and Great Britain, which accounts for the raving and anger of the French Ultra Journals. It is expected that Congress will not sit beyond the second week in ~,:: .~ December, when a solemn Declaration, we are as• accred, will be published by all the Allied Powers, calculated to settle and satisfy the different nations of Europe with respect to all their views and objects. We confess we are sceptical on this point, and are anxious to know the arrangements, particularly with respect to Turkey, Greece, and Naples. An Ordinance has been issued by the King cf the Netherlands, directing that as Flemish is the language of the arrondissements of Brussels and Louvain, all public functionaries who, by the Ist of January, 1823. are not musters of that language, shall be displaced ; that all public pleadings, arrests of Government, civil contracts, and acts, shall, from the time above specified, be drawn np in Flemish. We believe that this ordinance will be agreeable to the great mass of the inhabitants of the countries specified; but as it is fatal to the numerous French who are employed in the courts, bureaus, and offices of Brussels, it is of course most clamorously decried by them and their adherents; and a hot paper war has commenced on the subject. STOCK EXCHANGE, THREE o'CLoca.--In the earlier part of the morning little business was doin g , and Coast:ls were 814 to 81a. Soon after it was known that an express bad arrived from Paris, it was reported that Government had received one from Verona ;—the operations immediately com menced in the above market.—An eminent broker sold about 50,000 Cunie.ls at Bla and °tiered more at 814. but he could nut find any person to take them. Various reports were in circulation ;—that the King of France was dangerously indisposed ; and that the French troops on the Spanish frontiers are in motion, and the funds have fallen. The market left off at 80i j. CHRISTIAN SLAVERY —The following is an ex.. tract of a letter from Tunis, dated October 21. " On the 17th inst. arrived here the Sardinian brig Geacio, Capt. Antonia Luisa Niale. from Smyrna, in 20 days, with soldiers; also the Maltese brig Use Cugini, Capt. Chiassuro, from Constantinople and Smyrna, from the latter place in 20 days, with siia manufactures, &c. Both these vessels bring a num ber of unfortunate Greek slaves! princpally young girls, destined us presents to the Bardo, and boys, all under 10 years of age, who have been circam eised. %%list appears most extraordinary is, that I this nefarious traffic, in Christian blood is not only carried on under the flags of the holy alliance, but the two vessels in question were actually escorted from Smyrna to Cape Passer° by an Austrian ship of war. On the sth inst. the Bey of Tunis laid an embargo on all shipping in this Itegeney until his two new frigates, the Massura and Husania (built at Marseilles), and a large aciamLecco, should be ready fir sea; those vessels sailed on the 16th inst. for the Levant ; the frigates having each 44 guns, and 400 men ; the sciambecco, 6 guns and 125 men. P.S. A large Swedish brig has just come in from Sweden, with presents to this Govern. ment. The statement which lately appeared in the jour. nals, that the Archduchess Maria Louisa had made her appearance at Verona, has no doubt been noticod by most of our readers We have heard that she appears there to claim from the Allies the execution of the testamentary dispositions of Napoleon in favour of her son, and that this claim has occasioned very great embarrassment to the French Ministers there. The Duchess of Wellington received the intelli gence of the entire restoration to health of her hus band early in the week, through a letter received by the Dukes sister, Lady Anne Culling Smith, writ ten ahont the 9th instant. In this letter his Grace says—" I expect to leave this (Verona) on the 14th inst. for England." The Duchess of Wellington is with her family at Strathfieldsay. QUICK TRAVELLING, OR A VERT LATE DINNER. —According to the Court news, about five o'clock on Sunday afternoon, the Duke of Cambridge tonic leave of the King at Brighton, and set off fir Lon don. Another account states, that on Sunday even ing the Duke of Cambridge arrived in town horn Brighton, and dined with Sir Thomas Hislop. in Bulton.street. SHREWSBURY ELECTlON.—Thursday last the no mination of a candidate for the vacant seat in the representation of the county of Salop, took place at Shrewsbury. J. C. Pelham, Esq. Was then put in nomination by the Hon. and Rev. Richard Hill, Mr. Whitmore proposed William Lacon Child°, Both the candidates addressed the meeting at con siderable length. The High Sheriff requested a show of hands, which was greatly in favour of Mr. Childe's partisans who were very roughly treated by the mob. -
