340 FOREIG.V INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, OCT. 20.—Count Monthulon, on landing at Calais, on the night rt' the 17th inst. Willi his family, announced that General Bertrand would ar rive on the following day. His Majesty, by an ordinance of the sth of Sep tember, has ordered payment of such share of the compensation as had been made by the Royal Trea sury to the department of the Somme, fur their losses during the military occupation of 1815. By a letter from FranklOrt of the 15th inst. we learn that the negotiations of the Court of Vienna whit the house of Rothschild, for a new loan aeon siderable amount, is still carrying on. We arc assured that it will soon be concluded, and that the terms will be highly favourable to Messrs Rothschild. Advices horn Marseilles of the 13th state, that on the Wednesday preceding a man was sent to the Lazaretto, from one of the ships first infected, at Pomegue , but the state of this man has nothing alarming in it ; and when it is considLred that, of the last three patients received from these ship, into the Lazaretto, two were only slightly attacked, and and are now cured, there is reason to believe that the pernicious character of the contagion has reached its height, and that it is now approaching the term of its extinction. There is only one sick in the Lazaretto ; all the rest are convalescent or recovered, There are no ships in quarantine, and the town con tinues healthy. Private letters from Marseilles announce that all vessels coining from Italy arc compelled to perform quarantine, which seems to confirm the news of the existence of the yellow fever at Leghorn, or some other Italian port. The report is repeated that it is not the yellow fever, but the cholera morills, . . which has been introduced into that country by a ship from Batavia. The accounts foom Bayonne come down to the 13th, and state that the importation of merchandise from Spain is strictly prohibited, and no Spaniard can pass the frontiers without being subject to qua rantine in the Lazarettos of Tenhou and Behobia.— On the 19th, nine individuals, French and Spaniards, were discharged from the Lazaretto of Behobia, per fectly cured, and entered the towns last Light there were only 28 persons remaining in that establish. ment, who were in good health. The result of the elections is not known. Every one calculates the probabilities, and compares the relative force of the party to which he attaches him self. It has been justly said, that every name which comes forth from the electoral urn is a decla ration of principle; and here it is seen beyond a doubt, that France rejects the revolutionists. The Chamber will then present, according to every probability, a majority decidedly resolved to to ensure the triumph of legitimate ItGyalty. The only thing which remains to be desired is, that this majority should be agreed as to the means. If it should be divided into two or three sections, would not the majority be more powerful than each sepa rate division ? This is the question which at present engages attention, and will, we trust, be solved to the great advantage of the country and the monarchy. The Magistracy of Turin promulgated a manifesto an the I Ith inst., which states, that although no circumstance had transpired which could justity any fears of the introduction of the contagion into the states of Piedmont, yet precautionary measures were deemed necessary; and in this view it had been enacted, that no person from France should be allowed to enter Piedmont without first introducing a health-certificate from the French authorities. On Friday last, M. Rouault, who attempted to assassinate Major Gen. the Baron I)ujeon, was tried before the Paris Assize Court. The features of this arse were of peculiar and revolting atrocity. The Baron was allied to his meditated assassin by mar riage: he found him in obscurity, and advanced him to rank in the corps which he commanded. He was always lavish of his regard and sincere in his all6c tian towards him, and zealously promoted his inte rests on every occasion. But 'Unitas perfidy and cowardice, at length, compelled, the Baron to renounce him. Engaged in a duel, Ituault watched an opportunity, seized the sword of his antagonist with the left hand, and rim hint through with the right. The proofs of this were upon record.— Another duel ensued; ant! again Ituault triumphed through treachery. It was then only that the Ge neral dismissed him from the service, as a dishonour to his distinguished regiment, and this imperative punishment it was which excited his deadly revenge. On his trial the murderer avowed his intention, and on being asked what lie had to say in his de- . 1 fence, demanded that he might be condemned to death, and not to hard labour 16r life. His counsel, M. Cf►oaix d'Estanges, add►esseti the court in his behalf. The Judge announced that three days were allovied him to appeal. He left the bar wi.hout the slightest symptom of remorse or fear. The General was nut able to attend in Court THE NATIONAL REGISTER certificates of the still grievous state of his wounds were read. A letter from Jassy of the 23d of September states, that on the I fith of that month 5,000 Turks, under the orders of Seliha Bey, had attacked the convent of Seek. The Turks set the convent on fire ; but the Greeks, who had posted themselves in a small vaulted bastion, kept up a brisk fire with such effect, that the Turks were obliged to retreat with a loss of 2,000 men, in killed and wounded. The richest Boyars had deposited their most valuable effects in this convent, which had been entirely destroyed by the flames, to the value of several millions of piasters. Notwithstanding the firman of the Grand Sei4- nor, the Turks still commit every species of depre. dation. It is asserted that a bloody battle has taken prace at Yuacaca, about three leagues from Pasco, between the division of Valdez and Ricafort,' in which the rebel Arenalas, has been killed, and Bermudez grie vously wounded and taken prisoner. It is thought that the number of wounded is upwards of 4,000. This happy event, which has reanimated public spirit, and which may put an end to the war in Chili, ought not, however, to tranquillize the go vernment so far as to induce it to relax, but rather stimulate it to send maratime forces in sufficient strength to guarantee Peru, and complete the sub mission of Chili. The Sieur Pezuela is about to embark in an English frigate for Rio Janeiro. PARIS, OCT. 23.—Yesterday the King transacted business with the Marquis of Lauriston and the Duke of Richelieu. The early arrival of the King of England in this capital is again spoken of. The Marquis of Londonderry is expected in the course of a few days in Paris. According to a private letter from Vienna, Prince Metternich was on the point of setting out for Wite psk to meet the Emperor of Russia. Extract of a private letter dated Augsburg., Oct. 17. " The mercantile community of this town have received, by an extraordinary channel, the impor tant news that war has re-commenced in Moldavia between the Turks and the Insurgents. Conflicts have taken place during the first fortnight in Sep tember, in several 'sorters. It is seen with astonish ment that the Greeks have in Moldavia forces much more considerable than were at first believed. This, however, is explained by the circumstance that the Insurgents, who were dispersed after the various defeats which they experienced last summer, have rallied, and have been joined by a great number of the countymen who had taken refuge in Bessarabia, the Bukowina and Transylvannia. The Arnauts, who ' as is known, have been so cruelly treated by the Turks, have made common cause with the Greeks, and thus they have on foot an imposing force ; they have already gained some advantages at the entrance of the plains, which have rendered them masters of a portion of Upper Moldavia. They have even sent skirmishing parties as far as Foskan." FRAIVILFORT, 17.—We have received the following intelligence from the frontiers of Moldavia, dated the 26th ult : " It is asserted that the Kiaja Bey has been de capitated and his head sent to Constantinople. " The new Seraskier has caused the Bishop of Roman to be put in irons." Extract of a letter dated Pars October U. " There are various reports in circulation relative to the meeting of the Chambers, and the measures which ure in contemplation. The ultra-Royalist turn taken by the elections will it is supposed, lead ' to the execution of some of those schemes meditated last session ; but which, for want of sufficient numbers, could not be effected. Amongst these, an indemnity to the emigrants, new restrictions on the press, and a censure for the works of the Encyclo pedists are most conspicuous. In proportion as the Ultras see their influence diminish, so do they be come furious and impatient. I should not therefbre wonder if they intended to make a desperate effort this year. I should observe that the health of Louis is exceedingly precarious, and he feels so himself; having observed a day or two ago, when inffirmed that the Archbishop of Paris was at the point of death, II n'esl que moo avant courrier ." " The unhappy Greeks are left to their fate by all parties here. It has been too truly observed of the French, that they have not much sympathy for the misfortunes of' other nations, or, it' they have, it seldom continues long; their indifference with rc- ' spect to the heroic people of Greece, who are fighting our battles, cannot be too severely reprubated.—. Would that England could say that she had ac quired a greater title to the gratitude of Greece. " The conduct and proceedings of Charles Felix, surnamed Carlo it Feroce, is precisely such as the master despots require. Hanging in person and effigy continue in Piedmont, while the people are flattered with what is ironicallly styled an amnesty. Amongst the rest, sixty of the first nobility have been condemned. There are some anecdotes in cir culation of the above protege of the Holy Alliance, which would de honour to the age of Louis XIII. , " The English Ministers are said to be very satiAied with the influence of Austria. Some per. suns go as far as to say they would not ()Hoak: an an attempt to restore Victor Emanuel, who, it is now ascertained, was only prevented from giving a con stitution to his people long since, by the peremptory fiat of Alexander and Francis. Efforts are making to persuade this much abused King to take up his residence at Rome, the usual receptacle for fallen greatness, but he is said to prefer Nice." SIR ROBERT WILSON. No. I.

The eldest son of Sir Robert Wilson was first on the list of his Royal Highness the Duke of Glo cester for a commission in the regiment of Guards which he commands, and that his second son was at the Military College where his conduct and his progress in study were such as to ensure his passing the examination for a commission, But the arbitrary act which removed the father from the army naturally prevents the sons from entering it. We learn that Sir R. Wilson, actuated by a be coming pride, has said that he cannot permit his sons to enter a service in which justice has been denied him.
