64S TILE NATIONAL REGISTER. Fiance. Even the Prussian cannon, which were,on the Punt Royal, and the Pont Notre Dame, which were re moved to be used at the review, have been replaced in their former ,ituation. The King of Prussia continues at Paris, and no day is now mentioned for his departure. The new Ministry have given a striking proof of their re gard for the liberty of the press, by suppressing the Jour nal des Arts, merely because it opposed their views. The P ar is Journals still continue silent regarding the removal of the works of art, with the exception of the Lion of St. Murk, which is to be restored to Venice, and which is said to have been broken in the removal. No mention whatever has for some days been made of Ney. Consi derable speculation appears to be excited by the arrival of 130 pieces of cannon belonging to the Allies in the envi rons of Lisle. llamburgh and Dutch mails have also arrived : the papers which they have brought mention the formal an nexation of the privince of East Friesland to the Kingdom of Han"ver. The Meuse, it is said, is to form the boun dary between the kingdom of the Netherlands and the do minions of Prussia. The report is still kept up, of the ces sion of Alsace and Lorraine by France; which provinces, it is added, are to be formed into a kingdom for the Arch duke Charles.

He, however, got his bride. He corsequently, bro ther to Count I' , reno, who, before his father die (I, was called Count de Matarosa, and one of the Dene,tiPs from the province of Asturias that came over to England in search of aid, when the Spani'h rPvolution broke out.

The Frederick packet, Captain Sleeman, arrived a t Falmouth, from Corunna; left that place on Sunday last and brings accounts that General Porlier, having kept possession of Corunna, Ferrol, and Batanzos, four days, and organised Provisional Governments for the province of Galicia, marched with the principal part of his troop against Santiago, where the priests and friars had succeeded in forming. a strong party, leaving about 300 men to guard Corunna in his absence. No accounts had been received from him after he left Corunna ; but on the morning of the 9.3 d ult. a report was circulated, that Porlier's troops had deserted him at the moment he was lead'ng them into action, and that the few soldiers who remained faithful to . him had been dispersed: This report was no sooner known, than the city was the scene of the, greatest confusion ; 1 every where the inhabitants were flying, shutting up their shops and houses, and the 300 men left by Porlier took fright, ran off, and left the place to the mercy of the priests I ;Ind friar', who immediately collected a party, and liber ated ri.e Captain-General and other persons who had been put in confinement by Porlier, and a great many arrests Lad taken place; every one suspected of being favourable to the Liberales was put into prison, and terror was the Order of the day there. Three men were hung,on Sunday last. At the moment the paCket was quittino. Corunna, it• Was reported that Porlier had been arrested. Previous to this, accounts had been received at Corunna, that the province of Catalonia wilup in arms against King Verdi rcrnd•Vll. • The following are illustrative particulars of Gen.

The Treaty is not yet sigited, but it is probable that a few days only will elapse before it is signed. It will be communicated to the two chambers as soon as it is ratified. The letter from the Duke of Wellington to Lord Castlereagh has been seen as yet only by a few. "It was the pictures, &c. taken from Prussia, that his Grace last year interceded with the King to restore to his Prussian Majesty, which Louis XVIII. promised. Its speaking of the pictures and statues removed lately, his Grace states that whatever reason there might be last year for leaving them, those reasons could now he nrged no longer—For it was hoped last year that the alegiance sworn to the King would be kept, and that oaths would not be violated. What right have the French to he in dulged, at the price of leaving in their hands what they had so unjustly taken from other nations. Besides, it was necessary to give them a great moral lesson. " The (-seats of the..war, just finished, proved that how ever the French might be able to gain partial successes over some Power: ) they were .no match for all Power; combined. Such are some more of the points of this celebrated letter, which is written with groat force of reasoning and fact, and which completely jiistifie. the Duke of Welling ton's conduct, if any justification be neepsary. I have great satisfaction in assuring you that Lord Castlereagh is nearly recovered, though he cannot yet bear any thing tight acrosq the knee. Nine Ciousand of the National .Guards of Paris are or dered to assemble on the day of the opening of the Cham bers, in order to add to the dignity of the ceremony, by lining the streets through which the King is to pass.
