THE NATIONAL REGISTER. LONDON : SUND.IY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1817. Tin Paris Journals communicate the progress made in the elections, which is as unfavourable to the rural cause as M. de Cue could wish. The result of the first scrutiny in the department of the Seine was solely in favour of M. Lafitte the 'Banker, who was accordingly I):oclaimed one of the New Deputies. The next ten candidates who stood highest on the total list of votes iii successive order were the following :—De Lessen, C.assimir Perrier, Manuel, Bellart, Roy, Benjamin Con want, Gilbert des Voishis, Pasquier, La layette and G otipy Pere. Private letters represent the Ministers as fcoling at Icagth alarmed at the probable result of the elections. lie sees that the mast of the factious ,have tite greatest strtngth, and that by neglecting the Roy alists he has endan:;ered the tranquility of the state.— To repair his error he is said to be now courting the Royalists to throw their influence into tl:e so ale, and an article having this for its object has appeared in the Journal des Debats, which is ascribed to his pen. M Leine the framer of the unfortunate Election-law, it is reported, will retire frofn the Ministry of the interim and ascend to the pe:,nige. A trial b.3l.)re the Glurt of Assize, at A rcyron, rc arectirr,;• the arsassination of M.

THE NATIONAL RIMTSTER, the criminals who are prosecuted cannot be punished, the Juries having failed to do their (hay, and dried the very thuntain of justice, This circumstance throws a melancholy light upon the spirit which pervades that wretched district. The Paris Papers received yesterday to the 26th, are only remarkable fur the account of the farther pro gress made in the election of Deputies. Dc Lesser; and Roy having been returned by absolute majorities, have been proclaimed Deputies, in addition to the previous nomination ef Lafitte. There are now bat five Representatives to be chosen for the department of the Seine, and of the candidates those who have the greatest number of votes are Perrier, &Hart, des Vol sins, Manuel, Goupy Pere, Pasqu'er, and Benjamin Constant. La Fayette has little chance of becoming u Member ef the Chamber of Deputies. The elections in the provinces proceed with less virulence than in the capital. . It may he stated as a proaf of the revival of trade even in the luxuries of life, that the duties received in the lastquarter at Goldsmith's Hall, upon gold and silver plate, have excelled the pm:ceding quarter in the sum of £5OOO. Lll PAPERS. The Jamaica rouralt of the 30th July, gives the following intelligence respecting the operations on the Spanish Main, as extracts froui the Curacon Journals, which, however, derive their information through the circuitous route of St. Thomas's : CURACO.I, JUNE 28.—The fidlowing is a summary of intelligence received at St. Thomas's, by late ar rivals prom La Guayra and Puerto Cabello, and trans mitted to us in letters of the Ist and 3d inst. coming from very respectable authorities:— " General Morrill°, informed that the army under General Pacz approached towards Calabozo. onlerctl Gortin to march with 1500 men, ((rain the three thousand who had lately been recruited and posted near Valencia,) with a slew to join Aldama, and in concert ith him to attack the enemy. This was accordingly done, and the result proved fatal to the Spaniards. who were totally overthrown in the GuyabeL Morrill°, apprised of this eatastmphe, joined the garrisons of La Guayra.

The reroneut of his army fled in di;order, and a great number of them passed over to the victors. Atter this event, Morrill(' retired to I'alencia, and cons oked a meeting composed of several bodies. to deliberate on the measures that were necessary for their safety, while he was esidea souring to levy fresh forces. The less of the Royalists in the two last engezements 13 said to be very clnsiderablc ' to that tire ("sacs:a non of the Cameras and l.a Guayra , mud have been inevitable, had not the arrival of fresh troops from Spain altered the determination of the Spanish General, who was but expecting en' approach of the enemy to retire to Puerto Cabello.

The commencement of the new plan of amusement at this Theatre, of which due notice had been given, took place on Wednesday night before a numerous au dience. The first performance was How to die for Love, followed by " Wanted : a Gererness r both of which went off with their former eclat. At the close of those performonces, however, whether from old habit or a new spirit of adventure, a large proportion of thc audience kept their places. The greater part were doubtless actuated by no other motive than carelessly to see the result, in the first instance, of the new plan. But as the laggers continued to hold the seats which ought to be more profitably occupied, Mr. Bartley the Manager at length came forward, and apprised the au dience of the previous advertisements, which had clear ly announced to the public the new arrangement. It conld not, after such full advertisement, be supposed that any person was ignorant of a plan which had been framed for the accommoeation of thc public.—(Loud Cheers.)—To administer and conform to the public wish, was, and had been the assiduous endeavour of that Theatre and if, by misapprehension, any person among the respectable audience there assembled thought himself aggrieved, there was an earnest disposition in the proprietors to relieve him. A person in the pit then stood up, and said, he had come to the Theatre, as usual, had of at the pit door the usual price of admission, which was refused ; that his wish was to see the Play or Opera from the beginning to the end, and he thought he had a right to such enjoyment. The doorkeeper, however, refused to take his money on those terms, and he then felt it necessary to call on the Manager, and to appeal to the. public. Mr. Bartley regretted that the Gentleman who complained had not intiirmed himself of the real state of the case, or had not read the public advertisements. If, however, that Gentleman or any others, if any others there could be, so misinformed in the house, were desirous to keep their seats, they were welcome to do so, and he toped the harmony of the nigbt would be no binger inter rupted. The house, in consequence of this explana tion, was soon cleared, and the second perfbrmenre commenced and proceedul without any interruption. Mr. Kenn 's return to his profcssirmul duties at Drury lale will not l•c a spee.ly one•, : as he has entered into an engagement with the Managers of the Liverpool 'l'lvnitre fur duce weeks. A Noble Earl, who received 50 guineas from Sir F.. Nagle to pay nnc guinea for every league that the Prince Regent should to by sea within five years, has already to repay the 50 guineas received. and 45 in addition, it having been ascertained by the log, that in his lato tri? the Prince Regent traversed 95 leagues. Sir Edmund has been offered several hundred pounds for his bet.— . - Lettkrs received from Canada state, that Lord Sel kirk had left the Red River settlement, and pro ceeded •o Hudson's Bar, on his way to England. The Letters received from Buenos Ayres yesterday are of the 4th July : they say that the intelligence -from Chili and Peru is, that the insurgents were every where successful ; but there is little credit to be give* to these rumours. The Litelyield Mercury of las* week contains u map of the place where the untiwttmate Mary Ashtiird was murdered. Since the trial of Thornton, accused of that atrocious deed, several circumstances have trans pired which rtrongly call for further inquiry. It seems, the linen of this man was kept back from being pro duced at the trial by Dale, the officer who apprehended him, and who has since been very properly discharged from his place :Iv so doing % bat makes this continue to excite so flinch of the public attention is, the cir cumstance f the result of the trial wholly turning on an alibi whic, ailli %vas fininded on the most uncer tain evidence possible to tuidnue--the opinion of coun try persons as to time derived from comity (loch-- Every one who knows any thing of the country must be aware how little dependence should be placed on such testimony as to actual time. It seems certain, tl:at Thornton, may again be put on his trial. In cases of murder, after an acquittal on a trial, upon the prosecution of the Crown, it is always in the power of the nearest surviving relation to the demised to bring the accused party to a second trial on appe:►l ; and upon such occasiens in the event of a se eind Airy as on instances of tin it latiog done return tug a cen►trary verdict to the ilist, the c ulprit must stiller death ; thr the fountain of mercy, accessible upon all ot!!er co:wit:as, hus no power to pardon in case pi
