THE NATIONAL REGISTER. 1U LION: MO_VDAY, WOUST i. 7, I sls. r is with Much pleasure that we are enahied to nounee tha continued state IX impriAemeut in the Qucem's health. Her Majesty has found herfelf, ::,nne - days put. better than during the whole of the preceding three weAs. e understand, that when ~be remains quite tranquil, ot.ei is not labouring under an innallate paroxysm of spa:4r, she dots not ewe-. rionue much pain. Her appetite •has fortunately not tlaiied her throughout her illness. Madame and Miss Ilea:ended are the con tent anal only attendants of her Majesty, and they have been in waiting alternataly during the whole period of resi knee at Kew. - The rap ort received yesterday morning from Kcw, was, that " lter Majesty Las land a good night, and remains much the same." • - We have received the Paris 'Papers' hf Wednesday .la-4, from wLich we have Made the following extracts. The French Funds still continue to rise, •the Five per Cents. on Theidny being as high as 78f. 35c. If the Emperor - Of :V.isnia intend being present at she approsielaing - Congresa, and if any reliance may be iihiced upon an tr:ti.f.e - frora .Vie;:na, it iv certain that 'will not eciiil:lf:ll,:e its sittin,: , s fur some ti lie yct. It is there stated, that the Emperor and Empress of Austria will . deeidedly set out fur Munitit about the middle of this month, and it is intimated they will re:unt to Vienna again, before his Imperial Majesty proceeds to Aix-la-Chapelle. 'We observe, also, that the latest adviccs frnm - Petersburgli, are entirely silent -us to the lime when the .Empercr »f Russia will quit his 'capital for the same "tlet.;:ination. The King of •Prossia, too t is still the guest cf Alex:nuler,—Peorn a ll these circumstances, we think it extremely improbable that the Congress will ()on its fittings in the course cf. the present reonth. lutolligence front Franzfizt rnentionr, that the terri trananrrangement3.b2twecn Bavaria and the Duchy of .13;:den will he settled there, and not at Air-la-Chapelle. One of the Minor Paris Papers ecrar::•es the Foreign Journal§ fer •the' articles which they have p u b:id le d relative to t;.3 reeent conspiracy. and particulary for the insinuations thrown -Gut with regnr:: to certain . .lembers of the Irs'lstmily. The of General Cannel came on •before the Tribunal of Correctional Police on Saturday week. An • immense crowd • took possession of the Ilidlthe instant the doors were opened. Ou the cause being called, M. Couture, itilvts ate Ge uvral, and Counsel it!'r the General, said, that in spite the•dispositions they had made to open the plead ing! on that day, the progress of events hal rendered it impossible to profit by that atztlience. :en. Cannel wits arrested at six o'clock in the evenile (lithe 23d of Jnly. Fromihat moment he had been kept in close confinement, and his Counsel had been unable to com municate with him. The Court must recollect, he said, . that the Gentrid•had, on the 21st, eiprett4ed a wish to be relieved from tho extraordinarY rieours which pre vented .11itn. from seeing his friends, in order that he 'ME NATIONAL REGISTIM. might prepare his attaa and defence against the action of Messrs. Sento:vine and Fabvier. Suusequent to that' public declaration M. Cannel submitted to a very long interrogatory. He °vitt to know. why his liberty hill been torn from biro ; and it was necessary for his advo cates to see hiM, in order to know his actual resolution. Besides. .:11. Caned was, in truth, the rrincipsl id:bough he had become incidentally -a defendant. Ile had summed witnesses from l yoas, and through out all the department of the Rhone; his vrescuco.st• their ceatnination wet; therefore: of the greatestimpor.e tanec. Whatever st•t'r his Counsel might apply to his • cat:se, it weerld be imenssible for then) to know all its innumerable dettui« Yea him. The Court had decided on the '2 Ist duin it would hear the parties and their Cintusel; its wish, therefore, no doubt, was, thut the parties should peraetally. appear *before it. He ton eluded Lv 4raying that the cause should be put _off for a fertaiglita that the situation of the General should be ameliorated e.elid that his Counsel should hare liber ty to confer witlrltitn, and to take his instructions as to the papyri which have been restnred to hint. M. Dupin,• the Couueel the atl. Senneville, said. lie-Lod only op posed the posteenement of the trial- at the last Sitting, because M. Cannel was free, and present, and eo ob. stacle intervened to hinder him from enteringamliia , attack and defence. Now circumstances were no longer. the The -General was in close confinement, and they clieerfulla consented to the' delay, but wished it ta he for a month, as-he (Mph)) was to be employed in au important cause to .mutt: mebefore the Court of Assizes.. • Mr. Couture, on the part of General Cannel, 'opposed any longer delay then thet cif a fortnight. • M. Marchangy, the Kiug's Adroente, • was of opinion that the humanity of the Tribun;il could not• refitse a delay, efface it. wee at resent impossible liar Metamtel to ap pear before it. The infix-illation, !meeker, against the 'General and his associates ii•as going on • rapidly, and probably the close confinement would be tarn off next day. The Court deliberated for a quarter of au-hour, and the President declared the cause put off till the 2.Bth Of A uatnst peremptorily. M. D•tpin said, it would be impossiLle tie: the Coaasel of Messrs. Sennerille and Ilabvieate , he prepared iu so short a time. ' They knew . thavaleneral Gunnel had anted those tiro.Gentlemen. fir calumny.; bet . :they: knew no more. After scene further conversation, the. Court ,put off the.cause till Saturday the 7tli of November. A letter from 'Ceylon states, that affairs throughout that island are iu a state of more alanniug confusion than at army former period. . Martial law was proclaim ed maim the std of March througlwut the whale interior of time country ; a general onler having been previously joined, 43irectiug that neither money nor ammunition should be removed from certain pasts therein particular-. ized, without •an escort of a 0 men. The Governor was obliged to concentrate his force in the ueighboerhood of Candy, where his verious detachments had been threatened by the natives. .lfhe leessawe of Ourah occupied part of our tronps• ut rawer Ourah ; while 'the Pretender, us he is called, or some of his adherents, hung Nam our communications between• Candy and Colombo. The natives aro represented to 'lowa got ' together:both smununition • and taus. The most me lancholy prospects scent to Juuret the minds of our countrymen, whose interests arc involved in those of the British settlement at Ceylon ; and strong wishes are expressed that its local administration should be placed -immediately under the direct; compel of the Governor' General of Indira. The American papers 'describe, in :•a slay which de mands some 'serious notice, the trial and execution, with the alleged oances, of Messrs. Armbrister and' Arbuthnot, both acknowledged to be British subjects, , and4tecused et' crimes against the United States. As tier the crimes in question, viz. I. The supplying the haus " with munitions of war," it seems te.;have been done in the way of traffic ; Nlessts.:Arbuthnot, &c. having supplied the Indians with died.golls.and a smi. l .l portion of powder, without which they could rot carry .ote their business of hunting—in return for which 'they received likint .and corn to the amount of 4,0001 General Jackson's soldiers destroyed this pro perty. ^ Messrs. Arbuthnot, '&c. were said to have *wen spies upon the Americans. Now they were taken in a neutral garrison, when it was attacked by : the American •force ; how, therefore, could they be pu nished as spies upon the Americans? . The fitct is re presented ~ t c AR, that , these English subjects were merchants, trading.. with the 'lndians, and much re-. spected-by them; and that Mr. Arbuthnot -occasionally wrote letters for the unfort u nate people theJlritish Ambassador, complaining - of the depreciations and rob beties committed upon them by the virtimas Georgians ; —thes.2, we are tohl, were their crimes. We think that the British Government is bound to make a strict anii resolute, though teroperatkinet.hiry into. the fair ness of their trial, and the justice of their execution : Co., certainly, nothing yet appears to prove that they had forfeited the protection of their native country. Accounts front Rome state, that the English Admiral Pourose continues. cruising near the eiwts of tbe.States of the Holy See ; although much has bccn said of his supl•oscfl intention of acting ngainst the-WA:laq Powers he has not hithcao molested them AI .lb IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
