Tsie liberation of the remaining persons confined ender the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act, has this week excited considerable interest. The conversation which took place some days ago, between Sir Natba riel and the two Evanses, has been made pub 7ic ; and from the general tone of it we suspect it to be the production of their pen. There is a low and Nulgur impudence, in their replies, an indecent coars ness in thiir manner uhich they, no doubt, think will give them consequence with the public. Already we have seen one effect produced by it, for we fine those persons, who had readily entered into recognizan ces, ucw standing on the floor of the Court of King's Eviali, and loudly demanding that they should be dis charged. Mr. Evans and his energetic scn, would have done well to rememtvr the character of the individua; whom they addressed in the conversation alluded to .Sir Nathaniel Conant, has fulfilled the important du, itit:s of a Magistrate, for many years with a singlenes• of mind, an unflinching purity ot'pr:nciple, which hal rendered hits, not merely respected, but esteemed b: •ell those who know either his public or privatt To see him bearded by these two men t.iime very deilance of all decency was in some me'• salt their protection cannot but give pain to evei . man, who has any feeling of respect flr the dignity the Magistracy of the country. But these men b • an ob.;ect in view. They would not merely be cop) at' Hone, in the in3ults.oGred to justice, they no do; worth. like him, look forward :a the public fur a Subs;:ripli. s.:.liu ail probability they will have it, and in all p. labi.i:ty too, they will find another " Member of L., lrioase another Earl of and a.. r `Viscount Serwn,.to send them their 100 guineas NATIO/s;AI. REGISTER. becuuse they bare raa defiecl that power, by which ateir hercdtGry clignit,es are protected, and be muse they wou1.:1 (leanly that system, by which titc.r hercli:Lay property is presctvell. Friday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign °Lice, which was attended by all the Cabinet Ministers : they sat in deliberation till about five, when tlle Speech for opening the session of Par liament was finally arranged, to be submitted to the Prince Regent in Council yesterday at the Pavilion at Brighton. After the breaking up of the Cabinet Council, Earl Harrowby, as the Lord President of the Council, gave the annual dinner, or what is called the Sheriffs' dinner, it being the day when the Sheriffs are pricked fits the year. In the Howe of Peers the address will be moved by . the Earl of Aylesford, and seconded by Lord Seben.— In the House of Commons it will be moved by the Hon Colanel Wodehouse, and seconded by Mr. Wind ham Quin. No amendment, we hear, is intended to bs moved by the Opposition. At a late houryesterday we received a Flanders mail. From Ghent we are assured, that the intelligence pub .idied within these few days of two Frenchmen (Messrs. Latapie and Ponticoulant), having been executed in the Brazils fur participating in the insurrection of Per nambuco, is absulutoly void of foundation : these per sons, it would appear, have not gone to Brasil. Ano ther Ghent article, which is of considerable length, re peats the old/ere:nit:de about the ruin of the Flemish manufactures. The King is applauded for his efforts to protect them ; but the " worm which corrodes the in dustryof the Netherlands is in their legislation ;" and if the legistative bodies know nothing, after a year's ex perience of the decay of commerce, they are told very roundly, that it is because " they have formed a deter mination to know nothing." Nay, the writer threatens some great public convulsion, unless the States of the kingdom conform to his views; for he says, that when people abandon their manufactories, they despond— that discouragement produces idleness, and idleness bad morals. Now these abztract propositions are true; but not, we are apprehenoive, very applicable to the state of the Netherlands. That one or two branches of manu facture may have suffered from circumstances over which the legislature of that country have no control, it is not difficult to believe : but we are quite incredu lous of the broad assertion that the bulk of the commer cial and manufacturing interests of the kingdom are reduced to misery by the mist&:es or the negligence of its representative ; because those representatives are too freely chosen, too intimately connected with the wel fare of their constituents, and too absolutely dependent on their favour, to suppose it possible that they would legislate upon any other principles than those which aimed at the advancement and prosperity of the whole body by whom they .have been elected. We more than doubt, therfore, whether the evils described by those who call i themselves the Chamber of Commerce at Na mur, exist at all in the degree complained of; or whether existing to that degree, they are susceptible .of an immediate remedy by legislation. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has been for some time past new modelling the mode of contracting for the supply of paper, parchment, printing, book-binding, ruling, and all other articles of stationary required for .he public service, not only in this cottony, but also in Ireland. He hes.at length perfected his .plans for the London supply, end contracts have l±en made at re luced prices, varying from l7i to 45 per cent. ; and here is no doubt but similar advantages will arise to he public from his exertions in Ireland. The Paris joutnals of the 19th, are occupied with :trther particulars of the interminable affair of Al. ualdes. The prepsratives for the trial are as cumber mne as these for a general congress. Witnesses have oultiplied ad ; and each new witness lcaas to he arrest of some person as an accessory never impli tted before. The last individual seized and examined • M. Constans, a former Commissary of Police, and he -;•ady the object of some 4.7av0 and important chn g . In the mean time, the mysteries or mystifi 'cations Madame Manson appear to thicken as the cata,,,,,Ale draws near. Whether moved by shame, by quance, or affectation, she raves of every thing, c anmunicates nothing. She seems alternately un the guidance of vehement impulses and weak es. She perplexes the Magistrates—bullies the Parties--laughs at danger—and coquettes with . rice. But, perhaps, a very common female secret is . spring that puts.ia motioa these ingenious and end -en quackeries. JA'. WI The Ame:ican papers cf the 20:h ult. contain some intelligence rather interesting on both sides of the At. lantic. The prize shins made by eruizers of Amelia Island, and ordered into :hat port tbr condemnation, arc, afterwards, on toncl:iaj at 'St. Marv's, seized with their cargoes by the ollicers cf tke United States, and secured as public property. This is an act of positive ownership, exercised alivadv by the stronger Republic upon the weaker one. General Floyd, commanding in Camden country, has ordered out 500 men from the districts contigious to St. Mary's; and to be placed ostensibly wider the orders of General Gaines. Whether the In. dian war, or the seizure of East Florida, is to find em ployment for the above force, we are not distinctly in formed. Against the possession of East Florida by the United States, in whatever way they may maintain it, a protest is said, with some show of authenticity, to have been delivered by our Minister, Mr. Begot.— The American Editor uses the following language upon this, which may be considered an important national question :—"We give the above as received—but can not think it will eventually appear that she British Go vernment has so far presumed to interfere in our con• cerns." This Baltimore journalist would perhaps le improved by some elementary lessens on the difference between the proootins possessive mew,: and muss,. East Florida may be regarded as the absolute key of many of the British West India islands. We wish to avoid all needless irritation ; or really this talk about "our concerns" is enough to stagger the placidity of John Bull. The following is the passage respecting Mr. Begot, to which we have alluded : " WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.--It is mentioned here with apparent authenticity, that the British Minister, Mr. Begot. has. by commar.d of his Coverament, entered a protest against our coming iatn posses sion of tke by purchase or otherwise. I state what I hear. rot what I know.: such interference can hardly be expected. The Private Secretary of the President, as I presume you well know, is asounger brother to him, not nephew, as has been stat e d. The Secretary is a gentleman of pleasing address, and every way fitted fee the station. " We give the above as received (adds the Editor), but cannot think it will eventually appear that the British Govcrument have so far presumed to interfere in our concerns." We give the following article from Stutgard, with the most heartfelt satisfaction; at the same time we may rejoice in the justice which has been dealt to wretches, whose villainies excite our abhorrence, we cannot but regret that our neighbours have been before hand with us ; for we have seen the same crime perpetrated amongst ourselves, and, we blush to add, almost with impunity. Irg STUTGARD 3 DF.C. 31.—Two citizens of Amsterdam, Richard Rodolphe, commissary, aged 25, and Jean Jacques Hurtsink, aged 40. clerk of the tribunal of the Justice of Peace, having been convicted on a legal ex amination of having deceived and seduced emigrant; have been condemned by the tribunal of this city to five years imprisonment, and to a fine of 1,400 florins each, and payment of the costs. They are declared to have forfeited the civil and family rights mentioned in the 42nd article of the Penal Code. liodolphe, with. out having the necessary means of conveying the emi grants to America, had printed and distributed cards, in which he falsely gave out that he was authorized by the police to make this undertaking. He agreed with those who presented themselves, for the expenses of the passage, and it was settled that the money should be deposited with J. J. Hartsink, not to be paid out of his hands till they should have arrived in America. Hartsink, who had first gone to Cologne, to give the emigrants confidence, took the money, for which he gave a receipt, and abused, fur this purpose, his quality of clerk. Notwithstanding the assurance which he had given the emigrants, that their funds should not be disposed of till after the voyage should be completed, he had de livered considerable sums to Rodolphe for the purchase of the Vessel, provisions, and other expellees of the voy age, and kept 2,000 florins for himself; as a recompense agreed upon with Rodoiphe. Besides the vessel being neither equipped nor provisioned, the ernignints have been obliged to exchange their receipts for contracts, which the two rogues bad adroitly concerted, to make it impossible for the credulous voyigers to recover their money." Tua AIBIY.—It is now reported that Sir Chules Colville will be the new Governor of Halifax; and Sir Lowry Cole of Ceylon. It is a fact not generally known, that the Earl of Hopeton (Lord Niddrev), is the only one of the last created peers who declines re ceiving any pension. It was at first said that Lord Combermere had declined., which was a mistake; he receives the 11,0001. per annum same .as Lords Bests tad and Hill. SIR WATKIN LEWES v. MORGAN.--OR Friday in the sourt of Exchequer, Mr. Blake obtained a rule to spew cause why Mr. Morgan and Mr. H Lewes, should not be committed for contempt of Court, the one ibr laving received rents after the peremptory order of the Court had been made, that they should be paid into Court, and the other for having paid the same. Lord Viscount Keith and tiro Earl of Kgrement, ar riv.ed.at .Portsmouth, on Tuesday, to attend the meeting of the Committee of Management.of the Portsmouth Arundel Canal, for the purpose of considering the best mode of proceeding in the work, which will positivay commence the fist week in March.
