THE - NATIONAL REGISTER. LONDON : SUNDAY, JUNE 30. WE have scarcely any foreign news to notice this wick ; the Paris papers having, for several days, been almost wholly occupied with details relating to the mar riage of the Duke and Duchess of Berri ; and those who judge of the parade, pomp, splendour, and rejoicings, by what happened in this country on a late siruilar occasion, will have but a very imperfect idea of that which took place at Paris. We have a more sober, sedate way of conducting ourselves on such occasions: yet the grumblers. think we overdo things, and that the expenditure attend ing such occurrences is too lavish. A letter, dated Paris, June 24, says: " The Memoirs of Foucbe are ready, it is said, for publication. They will appear in two volumes. I am assured the last p'trases are—` I do not complain of my exile. I have been banished by the Princes to whom I extended a friendly hand to aid their entry into France. And may .the word legilivutcy not prove to the country the source of as many tears and of as urich bloodshed as that of err al ity itself.' " The circular letter of the King of the Netherlands, alilreAsetl to the Bishop of Namur, is remarkable for the spirit with which, in combatting the pretensions of the priesthood, he attacks the evil at the root—' not only,' di;clares his Majesty, will I preserve the Concordat, but even the organic laws,' which you will recollect the Pope rcfnsetf to sanction, and which were the cause of so wide a breach between him and Buonaparte. "The Council of Revision has not been convoked dur ing the last eight days, to ratify the judgement of the Court Martial in the affair of General Bonnaire and his Aid-de -Camp Mieton. The work of death would but ill suit the festive rejoicings of the public." The Paris Papers of the 2.5 th inst. contain some fr 4her particulars of the late insurrection at Tunis, which appears to have been planned and executed by the Turkish soldiers only. One account represents it as a p 6tical enterprise, the result of individual am bition ; while another considers it as an ebullition of their displeasure at the late Treaty concluded between the i)ev and Lord Exmouth. The insurrection is said to have been put down, and tranquillity restored at Tunis; but a body of the Turkish soldiers, to the amount of 700, having seized on the Goletta, a fortress which is considered as the key of Tunis, pillaged the Christians and Jews settled there, and embarked on • board five strong vessels for Italy or the Levant. This insurrection took place on the 30th April, and continued for only two days ; so that we must outsider it as un connected with the subsequent proceedings at Bono, which occurred en Asuncion Dav, May 4 3 . The accounts of thislatterattiM ..v.• hope will prove to have been exagger ated. Avulse' flout Bona, which arrived on the Vith at Bisertu, a small town on the Coast of Africa, in the Regency of Tunis, conveyed the intelligence that sixty Mistime SII at Bunn, and about nine Mat- TIrE NATIONAL REGISTER. dred were thrown into irons, and threatened with death. They were, however, afterwards released, as it would appear, by the exertions (tithe English Consul, who fortunately escaped the massacre ; and immediately oa regaining their liberty took to flight. The accounts previously published in the timeit,ni Papers, stated that the English Consul had perished, and that his brother with difficulty escaped. By letters from Paris, dated the '2•2d instant, we learn, that the last private accounts from Marseilles state, that a massacre of all the Francs has taken place at Constan tinople. By private letters from Paris we learn, that a some what singular report prevails there respecting the lute negociations between the Courts of Spain and Portugal. The Court of Brazils, it is said, proposes to cede all the Portuguese territory in Europe to the crown of Spain, in exchange fin. a large part of the Spanish South Ame rican possessions. With the view, as is supposed, of con quering these latter from the insurgents, either as a prin cipal, or as an ally, most of the Portuguese troops have been drawn from Lisbon to the Brazils. A Dutch Mail has brought papers to the ‘.!7th instant. An article, under the head of Barcelona, strongly cen sures the conduct of Lord Exmouth, in his communica tions and arrangements with Algiers, as not according with the dignity of his country, and injurious to the in terests of the commercial world. The Dutch Papers also announce a native war on the western coast of Africa, which threatens danger to our settlements in that quarter. By whims from Frankfurt, of the 16th inst. we learn, that two vessels which have arrived at Trieste from Alexandria, confirm the intelligence of the ravages made by the plague at the latter place. The Austrian Consul and his family have perished. There is also in telligence that the plague is making great ravages in the environs of Salonica. It is confidently stated in an article from Frankfort, that the expected interview at Tueplitz, between the Emperors Alexander and . Francis and the King of Prus sia, is not to take place. The Emperor of Austria is about to return to Vienna, after an absence of upwards of a year. The German papers say, " The young Prince, Francis Charles, son of Maria Louisa, whose education is prosecuted with particular care, makes a rapid progress; he expresses himself perfectly well in German, Italian, and French. His physiognomy has all the characteristic features of the House of Hapsburgh Lorraine." The last accounts from the fallen Emperor state, that he has discontinued taking exercise, to avoid the suroe•il lance of his military attendant, Capt. Popplewell ; he talks of all his battles, except that of Waterloo, which, he says, was lost by a treasonable panic. Madame Ber trand is out of favour ; she and her husband (the Gene ral) are coming to Europe, after staying a year; for which period only, he says, he pledged himself to remain with Buonaparte. . _ A number of fraudulent bills have been received from Italy and Spain, drawn upon merchants, &c. in this country, with the name of Count Narbonne attached to them. It is to be feared, that value has been procured for them abroad by the swindlers. One house had pre sented to them for acceptance, bills of this fraudulent kind, to the amount of about 8,0001. KINGSTON (JAMAICA), MAY 4.—We feel much regret in stating, that unpleasant accounts (which have gained so much publicity among all classes of people here during this week, that it has been recommended by authority that a fair state ment should be made known) to ere received on Monday by the ship John, Capt. Popplewell, which called olf Carlisle Bay, Barhadoes, on Sunday the 21st ult. that the de•l a ded and mis guided Slaves in that Island, led away by the false notion, that has gained too much currency, of the Re gistry Bill being one that was intended to give them their freedom, and not for the mere purpose of compelling their Masters to abstain from the fluffier importation of friettii Negroes, which they all know has not been the ease for nine years, and of more clearly iden tifying their 1111mbet - s and persons than we do here in our usual givings-in to the Vestries, had proceeded to acts of violence and insurrection MI the morning of Sunday the hits. We are happy, however, to add, that, from the vigorous measures that were immediately adopted by the Government of that Island, they had been brought hack to a proper sense of their duty, but not before several hundreds had paid the forti it of their lives----many having been killed by the king's troops, which had been sent against them; and great numbers brought in as prisoners, who w crc daily sutlering the sentence of the law. Every disposition to insubordination had been completely checked previous to the departure of the John. We would recommend to the other parishes throughont the Island the imitation of the example set by that o f st Mary, in reducing the fees to be required in future for the baptism of Negroes. _ ASHINGTON, 11i 1v 2:'. -We have been favoured with the sight of a very singular Proclamation. dated Cameras, Niarch I I, stating, that the Captain General having been intbrined of the criminal correspondence carried on betweVll the ellll4l*.llllS which took refuge in the different West India Islands, and the inhabitants of the Spanish provinces, " who will tint ac knowledge the beneficence with which they have been treated by the Governmunt." absolutely prohibits all correspondence, although par t ly familiar with these provinces, and interdicts any assistance whatever being given to the emiariits, either in money or products, under nu less a prnalty than death to the unfortunate person of either sex, who shall be found com mitting a breach of this Ordinance. The Privy Council at Goudaloupe have addressed a letter to Sir Jas. Leith at much length, voted lino the house and lands at Matoulat tir his residence, added to his income 120,000 livres ; and pot ut his disposal 20001. sterling, to be laid out in any article he thinks proper. Sir James, in a handsome manner, chose a sword to be purchased with their liberal donation. 3 uNE so. Lord Holland has paid a recent visit to Carlton-house, which some speculative politicians have resolved into a prelude to an immediate ohange of Administration. Mr. Smith has published the circumstances of his long and horrible treatment in the dungeon of Paris, under charges which would not bear investigation ; and on which, after all the sufferings he was doomed to came, the Police did not dare to bring him to trial. The charges against him were, not that he was the correspon dent of The Morning Chronicle, but that he knew the correspondent, and would not disclose his name. Ile was again and again interrogated ; and was offered his liberty if he disclosed the names of four persons—a French General who had talked of Guiana, a hawker's name who had sold him pamphlets, the correspondent of The Morn ing Chronicle, and a Protestant, who had said that the per secutions at Nismes were all of a religious kind. Mr. Smith resolved to suffer death rather than comply with this tyrannical demand ; and after near four months of close confinement, in which he nearly lost his life by the nox ious atmosphere of his dungeon, he was delivered by the active interference of the British Minister. By the last accounts from the Brazils, we learn, that a very serious commotion had taken place among the Negro Slaves at Bahia, where, collecting in considerable numbers, t h ey burnt four estates. The Duke 1)os Arcos, Governor of the Province, at length quelled the tumult by calling out the militstry, but several lives were lost, These commotion:, in the Brazils are by no means untie. quent ; another not long ago occurred in Pernambuco, when the Slaves defeated 500 regulars. Still the Slave Trade is there carrying on with greater vigour than ever, though such an accumulation of dangerous elements must eventually produce serious consequences. It is to the general state of disaffection prevailing among the Portu guese Slaves that the large importation of troops from Lis. bon is now attributed. The Bann, of 24 guns, Capt. Fisher, has been most actively and successfully employed in diminishing the trade in slaves on the oast of Africa, since her arrival there in .lanuary lust. Another letter received from an officer belonging to her, dated Sierra Leone, April 24, states, that she captured off the Bight of Benin, the Portuguese brigs Temeraro, of 18 guns and 80 men, and St Anto nio, having 900 slaves on board : the former engaged the Bann upwards of an hour. Tne Colonial cruizer Princess Charlotte has also captured a cargo in the French, brig Louis, of seven guns and 30 men, idler a contest the Princess Charlotte had 18, and the Louis 26, killed and wounded. On Monday morning arrived at Portsmouth the Mediterranean fleet, under the command of Admiral Lord Exmouth, consisting of six sail of the line, two frigates, and three brigs, firming the whole of our navy on the war establishment, except the Pilot sloop of war, on that station. It consists of the thllowing ships, which arc placed in quarantine at the Mother bank:— Boyne, !PS, Lord Exmouth, Capt. Brisbane ; Montagu, 71, Capt. Heywood ; Ajax, 74, Capt. Monday ; Leyiath in , 71, Capt. Briggs ;Berwick, 74, Capt. Brace ; Bombay, 74, Capt. Bazely ; Clorindc, 38, Capt. Peelle!' ; Spartan, 36, Capt. "tonal. ; Ca. lypso, 16, Capt. Sison;Renard,l6, Capt. St. Clair; Arachne, 14, Capt. Godfrey. It is ordered, that the Midshipmen and Master's Mates who have qualified for the rank of Lieutenant, and also Second Masters, or those who have acted as Masters in the Navy, may, in future, be deemed fit candidates for the situation of Mate of Revenue cruizers. Their pay (in dependent of their victualling, and proportion of the va lue of seizures) to be—in a vessel of 140 tons and up wards, 801. ; in a vessel of 100 tons and upwards, 701. ; and under 100 tons, 601. per ann. The Second Mates in the first class of these vessels are to receive 431.; in the second class, 401. per unn. A very unpleasant dispute has taken place between the Government of Buenos Ayres, and Capt. Favian, of the British frigate Orpheus ; respecting which the fin.- mer has published a declaration, of which the *Wowing is the substance :—That the Government of Buenos Ayres considered it as an infraction of that constant neutrality which British Naval Commanders had always observed in those seas, that Capt. Favian should have received on board his ship several .Spanish prisoners on their parole, conveyed there by a British Officer ; and when demanded, should have refused to surrender them. That this act of inurference and contempt of the laws of the country in which he was stationed, was doubly aggravating, after the hospitality and kindness practised towards British Officers and subjects, and must be sen sibly felt by the Government and people of Buenos Ayres, being so contrary to the delicate conduct of the Cabinet of St. James's,&c.—ln consequence of this nip ture, the Government of Buenos Ayres interdicted all communication with the Orpheus, which removed down the river. This event had created great uneasiness among the British merchants, who were thus deprived of protection ; and we make no doubt a serious inquiry will be made into the affair. Thursday a new Lottery of 20.000 tickets was con tracted for liv Richardson, Ckodluck, and Co. at 151. Bs. 11d. per ticket. A considerable importation of excellent butter has re cently taken place, and continues to be made, from Hol land ; which, notwithstanding. a duty of 3d. per pound upon it, is retailed at from Is. to 13d. per pound.
