THE NATIONAL 'REGISTER. LONDON: MONDAY JANUARY 12, ISIS. A New York Mail arrived on Thursday brought to Falmouth, by tha Lady Wellington in 28 days. By this conveyance we have received papers to the 7th of December, the principal contents of which is the Pre sident's Message to Congress, the substance of which will be found in another part of our columns.— Yesterday, Boston Papers to the 18th December were received, by which we learn that in the House of Representatives, on the Bth, Mr. Rhea, moved that the President, be requested to lay before the House such information as he may possess, and think proper to com municate relative to the proceedings of those persons, who had taken possession of Amelia Island ; and also any information which he may think proper to com municate, relative to the establishment which had been made at Galvestown, together with the reasons which had induced him to issue orders for the sup pression of these establishments. This motion was op posed in part by Mr.Forsyth, and•whollyby Mr. Holmes, who suggested the propriety of waiting a day or two, to see whether they would not obtain without further call, all the information they desired, front the Ex ecutive. Mr. Rhea's motion, was, however, carried without a division. These Papers contain the annual Treasury Report as to Finance. The Revenue, in 18 15, was 49 millions of dollars; in 1816, 36 millions; and in 1817, 33 millions. The permanent annual revenue is estimated at 24 of dollars. The expense in 1818 would be greatly lessened, it was estimated at about 22 millions of do liars. Hostilities between the army of the United States and the Seminole Indians have commenced. General Gains was surrounded and blockaded in one of the forts on St. Mary's; be had dispatched an express, request ing immediate reinfineements. Some Spaniards arc re ported to have joined the Indians. It is asserted on good authority that the Venezuelan Minister, after perusing the President's Message, im mediately dispatlhed an Wtrress to his colleague, Don THE NATIONAL REGISTER. Pedro Gaul, the Deputy . from New Grenada and Mex ico, and to G‘meral Aury, at Amelia Island, advising them of the contemplated hostilities against that place. It is added, he has directed Aury to defend the place to the last, unless attacked by a very superior force, in which case he is to enter a solemn protes,t in the name of the South American Government, capitulate, and surrender themselves prisoners of war. The Paris Papers of Monday announce the return of the Duke of Wellington to Cambray. He left Paris on Sunday morning. On the evening before his de parture, he was present at a grand ball given by the Minister of Police, where he was distinguished by the affability of his manbers, and from which he did not re tire until one in the morning : 4 hours after he com menced his journey. It is believed in Paris, that he will proceed immediately to London, and return to the French capital before the end of the present month. A single Madras paper of the f23rd August has been received, by which we learn that the important fortress of Durwan had surrendered without firing a gun, to the advance of Colonel Pritrler's force, under the command of Major Newall. Kishoul had also been given up. The inhabitants of the surrounding country expressed great satisfaction at the prospect of being taken under the protection of the British Govern ment. The :mops in camp are represented to have experienced much inconvenience from the rains that had fallen. French papers of three days have arrived: those of Thursday last, containing the report of the commission on the law for recruiting the army, which was present ed to the Chamber by the Comte d'Ambrugette. It is asserted by the report; that voluntary enlistment had been found an inadequate means of supplying the mili tary establishment, weak as it was, which France could, under her present circumstances, maintain in active service. The military system adopted by the other European Powers is said to impose upon France the rigorous duty of employing the same instruments and resources—to wit, a recruitment by conscription;' against the abuse of which, however, the most solemn guarrantees are to be provided by law. It is necessary to satisfy the feelings of Europe as to a complete renun ciation on the part of France of every scheme '. hich would have aggression and conquest for its object ; as it is, on the other hand, essential to secure from danger the institutions and interests of the State. These im portant ends arc proposed to be attained, by placing at the disposal of the Government such military force as may be strictly requisite to discharge the functions of a peace establishment, and by leaving to the legislature itself theabsolute determination of its numbers. The re porter then proceeds to particularize the several enact ments of the law, as they were amended in the Commit tee. The Royal Guard is to be filled up by soldiers se lected from the other corps of the army ; and also by voluntary enlistment. The cavalry, artillery, and corps of engineers arc to be recruited by voluntary enlistment, and if other means be wanting, by draughs from the de partmental legions The ranks of these legions are to be supplied by volunteers, and if then defective, byconserip tion. The above clauses comprise the grand principle and outline of the measure ; the details of the execution are given at large in the report. The most important are, that the age of 20 is the limit, below which no youth shall be called upon for his services; that six years is to be the period of service ; that substitutes are al lowed ; and that the total of the conscription shall not exceed 40,000 men. With respect to promotion, no person can become a non-commissioned officer, who has not completed his 9.oth year, and served at least two years in a regular regiment ; none can be an officer who has not served for two years as a non-commissioned officer, in a regular course of instruction at a military school, and passed his severa! examinations with credit. A great number of Members inscribed their names to support and oppose this prrjet de loi. Among its ad vocates arc the heads of the libercaux, as they are called, and of the military. Of its enemies, the most distinguished is M. Villele. M. Laisne de Villeveque submitted a proposition for restoring to the unthrtunate emigrants the renter which they possessed on the Grand Livre in the year 793. M. Laisne, in defence of his proposal, made a stren uous appeal to the equity of the Chamber; calculating that the charge thus incurred by the nation would not exceed, on the widest estimate, the sum of 2,000,000 francs per annum. England was induced by mere humanity to expend a much larger sum on their behalf. , MEETING AT THE Seal of Diet allowed by I become the object* of sliver el Breakfaq. . { i1b..11rp:41., I Sunday e oz.

The Tri. nity House has subscribed 200 gs. and the East India Company 2001. The ‘lurine Society has agreed to clothe 100 destitute seamen, and quantities of shoes and stockings have also been received. Of the poor men who have already been examined by this Committee, more than 230 have been foond seamen, chiefly belonging to King's ships ; for these a temporary lodging was pro vided. So numerous, however, were the applications, for relief that the Committee at the King's-hewl, Poul try, on Friday, informed the Lord, Mayor that farther accommodation had become absolutely necessary ; they added that the Master tel the London ‘Vorkhouse could receive 100 of the applicants, but wanted his lordship's sanction. His lordship immediately gave the necessary directions, and recommended to the Committee to affind temporary relief to those who could not be accommo dated, until the ships destined to receive them should arrive. A Meeting was on Wednesday held at Lloyd's Coffee. house, for the purpose of entering into a subscription for the relief of the sufferers by the late destructive fires in St. John's Newfundland. A proposition was made to subscribe 1100!. from the Funds of the Society ; but that was negatived by a large urkjority, on the ground that the Society's Funds may be burdened from claims made upon it by sufferers in another quarter, (alluding, no doubt, to the immense loss of shipping in the late hurricane in the West Indies). The Members at Lloyd's however, individually subscribed in a very munificent manner to the object for which the Meeting was called. The King of France received Deputations from the different Courts of Law, in Paris, offering. him their homage and congratulations on the new year. In the Chamber of Deputies ou the 3d inst. the Committee on the Budget was completed. Extract of a letter from Cambrav, Dec, 29 :—" Great festivities have been doing forward this Christmas, at the head-quarters of the British army. The Duke of Wellington has had his chateau, 12 miles from hence, crowded with visitors The officers of the ctaff have performed several dramatic pieces with great effect.— Mathews has been out here, and was invited by the Duke to the chateau : he gave his ' Mail Coach Ad-. ventures,' and also his Actor of all Work,' in a man. ner highly entertaining. The temporary theatre is very neatly fitted up. The Duke of Richmond and his family, with several others, were present, and were highly delighted with the amusements furnished by their noble host." A. private letter from Paris, Jan. 5, says:—" The negociations with the allied Powers have made great progress since the end of the last month. The Duke of Wellington. as well as General Woronzuff, have declared in different circles, that the Allied troops in France will evacuate the French territory in the month of the ensuing October. Persons well informed, how. ever, think, that between that and the present time, there will arise obstacles which may prevent the com plete departure of foreign. troops. The affair of the liquidation of the claims of the Allied Powers makes an equal progress. On Saturday last the U . :omission. ers of liquidation had entirely terminated the consider. ation of the Spanish claims. The rise in the public funds on Saturday was, in consequence, very sensible." We understand that Lord Siduiouth, some days since, signed warrants for discharging all the remaining State prisoners, upon their giving their own reeognizanees ta appear to any charge which might be brought against them next Term ; a condition with which they all most cheerfully complied, except two London prison ers, and a man of the name of Benbow, from Marcher. ter, who insist upon being brought to trial, or being di:. charged without any mark of suspicion attached to their characters. The following Circular has been sent to all the Mem. bets of the House of Commons who usually vote with Administration : Silt •' Foreign Mee, 3tlinnuary. 111.01. " As business of importance will be brought under the'co nsideres tion of Parliament, immediately upon its meeting, I take the liberty of earnestly reque-ting your attendance in they house of Commas. on Tuesday, the 27th instant. " I have the honour t* be, Sir. • •• Your faithful ab:l oSolimt S.rvant. •• CAS'fLEIIEAGH." Similar Letters have been sent to the Peers by the Earl of Liverpool. Letters from Vienna state, that Jerome Boonaparte has demanded permission to proceed to Trieste. This per►nission has not been granted, because he had broken his premix when he was there in 1814. i 3.kN. 12. LONDON TAVERN. the Committee to thy Poor who : Dinner. 6 oz. Meat with j lb.
