THE NATIONAL tREGLSTER. • LON VON : MONDAY, MAY le.. 1 1 8 WE have received the Paris Papers up to Wednesday, trc , ni which the following are extracts:— rPARIS, MAT 13. .CIIAMBER‘OF PEERS, MAY 12. " The order of the day was read for receiving the Report of the Special Committee appointed to-inquire into the Finance Law. The Report being made, it was ordered to Le printed, and taken . iato consideration. on Tilursday." " Bulletin of the health of his serene liighnear the Prince (la-Conde— •• His Selene Highness the. Prince ale Conde .had to-night a tiolent increase of fever, with very freqeol fits.o I coughing, • and a great difhaulty of breathing and expectoration. This morning the respiration is still more laborious; the poise is feeble, •and with frequent intermissions. (Signed) •" PORTAL, " ROCIIARD. " Mas 12. " GUERIN, " MILLET." '• This evening, .at eight o'clock, his Serene fligh tless was a little better. No bulletin was issued." According to .letters which have •been Teceiveafrom respectable individuals in Alexico, dated the tSth of February, and received by the way of I Tavannah, the rebellion was nearly-suppressed throughout the whole interior of that kingdom. On the frontiers, and along the coasts, there were some straggling binds of rob. ler/. All the communications were entirely open, and commerce was pursued with great activity. Towards the oud of the same month (February) there had ar rived f....t'•Vera C Tti Z, • frOCI Mexico, Urge convey, with incrrhandize, and three raillimis of piastres, without liiiviii; encountcrt>l the slightest obstacle during its THE NATIONAL REGISTER. It appears by the Paris papers of Tuesaar last, that his Serene Highness the Prince of Contle was on Sa turday week taken serioasly ill. His complaint became afterwards so much more alarming, that his son, the Due de 13ourbbn, to whom his father has not spoken for many years, was sent for cx - press . from London. At the age o: -61.! small hopes can be entertained of a com plete recovery. The equipage of the Quke of 'Wel lington le'.l Paris for Cambray ou the gal inst. :His Grace is looled for at head.quarters.befirre the end of the current month. Americiat papers of the 26th March announce that the United States' ship Hornet has got under weigh for St. Domingo, and thence for •the lipunish Main, havin. , gentlemen on board who have been clothed by . the P e 'resident with extensive diplomatic powers. Their mission is said to be connected with the unfriendly state of the Negociations between America.and Spain ; and it is now not disguised, that the 'Executive of the United States was, at the moment when the accounts came away, discussing sonic very important measure in . relation to the 'Spanish Government. fhe Report of the S.lect Committee of the House of Commons, on the administration of justice upon the Northern Circuit, has been printed. It commends . that, fiar the greater t;aility and dispatch of business, I sach measures should be taken as would divide the present Northern - Circuit into two separate circuits, the one comprehending the counties of Westmorland, Lancaster, and Cumberlard.; and'the ether including York, Northumberland, and Darhatn: and on advert ing particularly to the petition frem,the city of Nor wich, the Committee Caller recommend .the augmen tation. to the present number of Judges, who might be usefully employed in Westminster Hall and the regular tribunals of the country, by which means an opportu— nity would be afforded of supplying the defect so loudly 'complained of on the Norfolk and Midland Circuit, viz. of having only one Judge on the Spring. Cireuit,.to.preside on:the civil and,ciminal trials. • Bahama Gazettes have arrived to the end: of March. The general assembly had been prorogued by a pro clamation of his Excellency the Governor, from the 3d of March to the 14th day of April. The Go vernor, on the 19th of February, issued a proclama tion, permitting the in:portation of all kind of mei thandize and grain in British built ships owned by British subjects, into the Bahama Islands, until the 21st day of August next, unless sooner determined or altered by -an order from his Majesty, with the advice • of his Privy Council. These papers contain accounts of tbe.capture of several British vesselsliy independent privateers, which have been already communicated in :letters from the agent t o Lloyd's at * Nassau. Thonew Auction Bill contains several clauses parti cularly interesting to the public, as well as to auc tioneers ; among others it specifies that no. goods shall be sold on premises without the proprietor's name being mentioned in the advertisement; a certificate is also required from the collector of the poor rates, that the person whose goods are to be sold has been assessed to those sates for the.house in his occupation. The goods ore also to be on view (whether the proprietor wishes it or not) a certain time previous to the sale. ! Another clause goes to prevent any auctioneer from selling his own goods, or having them sold by another. The Spanish Government, we learn, is making its ' best exertions to oppose at once the claim.; of America and reduce the insurgent provinces. These are points, however, in which: our interest is remote and contin- I gent. Respecting the part which our countrymen may be induced to take in these quarrels, which appertain not to them personally, we feel greater anxiety—that is, on their accoant—and have always expressed a wish that they wora:d not hazard their lives, nor even their property. Sorne*panish ships are already ordered .to this country, to intercept. any vessels proceeding with arms, &c. to join the South American insurgents, the Spanish-Government being perfectly aware of the pro ceedings of a certain General mid his partisans here in England. .The British merchant-should pause before he hazards his property under such circumstances. Mr. Flaxman's monument •to Lord Nelson, erected at the national expence, in st. Pours: Cathedral, was on-Wednesday opened to public inspection. The statue of Lord. Nelson, dressed in the pelisse received from the Grand Signior, leans on an anchor. Beneath, on the right of the hero, Britannia directs the attention of two young seamen to Nelson, their great example. The British Lion on .the other side guards the monument. On- the cornice of the pedestal are the words, Copen hagen, Nile, Trafalgar. The figures on the pedestal represent the North Sea, the German Ocean, the Nile and the Mediterranean. We learn from our Dover .('orresixmilent, that. kis Grace the Duke of Wellington arrived• there on Friday afternoon from London. .1f the wind permitted, it was his Grace's intention to embark on board the Lord Duncan packet immediately frr Calais. The Royal - Sovereign yacht was lying hi the roads, waiting for a wind to take her, to Calais, to bring over their Royal Higlinessess the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The Court I louse of the Bombay Presidency was nearly destroyed l)y lire on the 18th of Octukr. MAT 18 mI•NM We ausilay the Prince ltegerit visited the Queen at her Paince, as did the .Duchess vt Gloucester and Duke of Clarence. Wednesday, at three o'clock, the Prince Regent held a Court, grid afterwards a Privy Connell, at which the Royal sanction was riven to one of the intruded Royal marriages. Admirdl .Sir Ccnrgc Campbell kissed hands upon his being appointed.Commanderin Chief at Ports mouth. The Earl of Harrowby uud the Earl of hi verpool had audiences of the Prince Regent. The Duke and Duchess -of Gloucester had a grand party on Thursday night. We are told that not less than 1,400 persons were present, including the Dukes of York, Kent, and Sussex, the Prince of !Terse Humboatg, most of the Foreign Nlinnters, several of the Cabinet Ministers, and.a lung list of nobility.— The magnificence of the entertainment was worthy of the exalted rank of the host and hostess, but unfortu nately.the conithrt was not equal to the splendour : flit it appears, that in spite of the precise regulations which had been given respecting the setting down of the guests, and in spite ot'u numerous attendance of police to execute these regulations, the crowd of carriages and of spectators increased at length to a magnitude too great to be manageable, and as soon as -they felt their ,power, became so boisterous and outrageous as to dis turb the company in Gloucester-house with their in reasant.noiecs, from 11 o'clook till near 3 in the mom ing. Nor was this all: avenues being blocked up by the immense multitude, there was at last scarcely any posSibility of ingress or egress.for their visitors,so that the suite of moms, which, without this impediment, would easily have accommodated all the guests in suc cession, were too small for the whole assemblage col leeted together at once. The consequence was, that from the heat and confusion, several •halies fninted.— The constant attentions, however, of the Duke and Duchess, who remained conversing with their guests to the last, served to alleviate this untineseen incon venience. The dresses of the ladies mere all new, and .are deseribetl as having been particularly splendid. All the refreshment that fragrant plants and flowers, to gether with the most grateful viands, could afford, was supplied with equal profitsion and taste. The Du chess of Glocester bad recovered from her fatigue suf ficiently to attend Covent-garden theatre on • Fritkiy evening in company with the Duke. THE PRINCE OF HESSE HOMBOURG'S TOUR. —llia Serene Highness left the Queen's Palace on Friday .week, between three and four o'clock in the morning, and arrived at 'Portsmouth a little before 12, where he • was received with all due honour ; and, after being conducted over the Dock-yard and the numerous Co :verninent establishments, slept.at the .Crown Satusday morning early, his *serene Highness sailed in the Commissioner's yacht for Ryde. in the Isle of Wight, where, on landing, a sociable was procured at ithe hotel, in which he was driven to NeWport, Saint and other. parts of the Island. -He embarked on board the •Commissioner'syacht at Yarmouth, and sailed for Lyinington, where he dined at the principal inn, and afterwards went to Southampton, where he slept. The next morning the Prince proceeded to Winchester, where he alighted at the house of the Rev. Dr. Knott, who conducted him over the Cathe dral, and other novelties worthy of notice in the city. His Serene Highness proceeded from Winchester to Salisbury, where he arrived about five o'clock, and dined with the Rev. Dr. Douglas. The Prince was conducted over the • Cathedral, the city of Old Sarum, &c. .He left Salisbury at 10 o'clock on Monday morn ing, for Stonehenge, where testopped and viewed the Druids' Temple, on Salisbury-plain. He then proceeded to Devises, where he stopped to view the Castle: •next went onto Bath, but only changed horses there, and proceeded with all speed to Bristol, where, after viewing some of the principal places for a short time, he set arta Clifton, viewed the Hot-wells, .&c. and returned to Bath, where he was conducted over the - Pump-rooms, and several pub lic buildings, and,.after dining at eight o'eloek, his Serene Highness left'Bath, travelleanli night, and ar rived at Windsor -Castle about half-past ten o'clock on Tuesday morning, remained till about one, and arrived at the Queen's Palace soon after three. The Princess Dowager of Linengen, to whom, it is said, the Duke of Kent is about to be married„is sister to Prince' Leopold, and will. be 82 'years ofoge in Au gust next. She has a son and. daughter, by: her deceased husband. The .sou is in his.l4th year, the daughter in her l'2th. .The.Princeaz herself has an establishment and dower,. amounting to between .4 and 50001. sterl ing per.nunum, which, we hear, she loses by her union with the Duke. The Duke of. Cambridge and his illustrio.is Bride, at the date of the last dispatches, were at Brusse!s, on their way to Calais. They arc expected in London, either on Wednesday, or Thursday next, at farthest. A num ber of the domestics of his Royal Highness arrived at his house in South Audley-street, on Monday. A very severe contest it now carrying on at • Oxford, for the office of Keeper of the Archives of that Univer sity. The candidates are Mr. Professor Cooke of Corpus College ; Mr. Heyes, Fellow of Exeter College, and one of the Whitehall preachers; and Mr. Rau, renew .ad* st.JdWes.Collstu.
