We understand that his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT has declared his intention of fi::ing his residence for the autumn at Hampton-Court Palace. 'This Palace being at a conveni,ent distance between London and Windsor, will allow equal facilities for the dispatch of business, and for at tending to his MAJESTY, without any impediment arising from either duty to the other. We, there. fore, rejoice to find in it ground to believe, that the apprehensions entertained for his MlJl:7l'Y's life are rrained by anxiety for the Royal Sufferer, be yond what the actual state of his maladies will warrant. Earl SPENCER and Lord HEATIIFIELD are said to be seriously indisposed. Mr. Hase waited on the Gentlemen of the Stock Exchange, yesterday morning, and informed them that the Bank will make the f uture payments on the Omnium, except the last, and to be redeemed on or before the 28th of February, 1812. An immense quantity of military stores have been shipped for the Baltic, said to be sufficient for the su,pply of an army of 80,000 men. Sir James Saumarez, it is prolrble, will have the charge of it for the purpose of applying the sacrie in such a. manner as circzmstances may require, in case Prussia and the other Northern Powers should unite against the aggressions and domination of France. The Ida cutter has sent into Yarmouth the Con cordia, taken by the French, and retaken by the cutter's boats ; which. gallantly cut her out of Ostend, although opposed by the fire of the French soldiers, amounting to 2.00 men. The orders for allowing a perfect freedom of religious worship to such Irish militiamen of. the Catholic religion as should come to Great Britain under the Militia Intercourse Bill, have, we are happy to understand, produced an extension of that freedom to the army generally. An order has been recently issued by his Royal Highness the Com mander in Chief, forbidding all Commanding Offi cers of regiments, or detachments, from o bli g i ng Roman Catholic soldiers to attend flivine Service in the Church of England, and directing they should be permitted to attend those places of Ivor ship where their own religious rites are perfbrmed, whenever military duty will allow. The Eliza cartel is arrived at Dartmouth from Morlaix. She brought over to this country twelve Irish Priests, who were driven out of R(O about twelve months ago by BuoNAnA ter after having resided there, some of them for upwards of nine years. The proceedings in the ecclesiastical synod, lately held at Paris, have been kept cut of the public papers, but it is now said, that this venerable as sembly, on account of the freedom of some of its discussions, Was suddenly broken up by the man date of Bitonaparte, and eleven of his Bishops were sent prisoners to the Castle of St. Vincennes. "The 2d West York, West Essex, and Dorset Regiments of Militia, in Chelmsford garrison, have volunteered their services for Ireland. The Militia Regiments which have not furnished their quotas to the line are to be allowed to volun teer to the extent of their deficiences into the regi ments of Foot Guards. Paris Papers readied town on Tuesday ; to the 27th instant. They C(311.111D the communication made to the Legislative Body on closing its sittings. on the 25th, in which all the topics of congratuia tion alluded to in the Expos are reiterated, a high tone of triumph is assumed for the capture of Tar ragona and the relief of Badajoz, and a comparison is made between the situation of France and Eng land, of course highly to the advantage of the for mer. On the same day a deputation of the Legis lative Body went through the humiliating ceremony of presenting a complimentary address to the infant King of Rome. Buonaparte, it appears, is making most extraor dinary exertions to collect seamen, for manning the ships of war lie is fitting out in the ports of France and Holland. Letters from the coast of France, dated the 28th, state, that great numbers of foreign seamen had recently been conducted to the different depits prepared for their reception. These men are conveyed to their destination under escorts of Gen darmeri, and are very strictly guarded. The kind of Naval Conscription which Buonaparte had esta blished, has not been found .surliciently productive to answer his present demands, and he has issued orders to the Hans Towns to furnish immediately, in proportion to their trade and population, a num ber of men fitted fbr the naval service. 'These or ders, we understand, have already been carried into execution in a very rigorous manner at Ham burgh. The French Governor of that city, it in said, caused the gates to be shut during three suc cessive days, and after every man who had been at sea, and a great proportion of those em ployed in the navigation of the river, sent them off under a strong guard for Holland. It is sup poed that these men arc desLined for the flee: in the Scheldt. The letters from the coast of France announce the publication of a Decree, denouncing the penalty of death against any Captain on board of whose ship any Bills of Exchange upon England shall be found. By another Decree, no female possessing an annual income of, or above 6,000 francs (250{. sterling) shill be allowed to marry but with the consent of the French Government. This is a pro ject for promoting Officers of the army. If accou-ts received from Bourdeaux are to be believe,!, not only those American ships have been set at liberty by Buonaparte, in the ports of France, which contained the propel ty or produce of the United States ; but also ships, of which the car goes consisted of cocoa, coffee, logwood, bark, pepper, sugar, and other articles of Spanish and British colonial produce, have b een p erm i tte d to unload and reload w ithout ob s t ruct i on ; and every vessel which has arrived in France since 2d Nov. has been placed under the same favourable circum, stances. The following is ail extract from an American Paper, the latest received in town :-- t 4 We arc warranted in aszerting, that the PRESIDENT has expressed a wish for the speedy :i•rival of Mr. Fosory,a, who would be received with the utmost cordiality; and that certain points pending between Great Britain and the United States, which bad been insisted oil, would for the present be waved by our overnment, rather than procraqinute the wished-for un deratAnding•' 4f48 THE NATIONAL, REGISTER.
