THE NATIONAL REGISTER.. ST 7 ,I 3 T. 17. MURDERS AND ROBBERIES IN PARIS. An English Gentleman, of the name of Kean, was assassi nated on Wednesday sennight, in Paris, on the Boulevard de Colentz, near the Rue Taithout, by one of those ferocious brigands lately arrived in Paris from the army of the Loire. The Frcoch Officer accused Mr. Kean of having trodden on his feet, which the latter positively denied. Iligh words then ensued, when the Frenchman drew a dagger from his cane, and gave MG Kean a mortal stab in the side. He ex piled the next day. After Mr. Kean fell, the French Officer nui ly retired, taking under his arm one of the fair cyprians who frequent this Boulevard, and has not since been heard of. Not one of the French Journalists, to their great shame be it :Token, have dared to notice this horrid assassination, though attended with circumstances of the most aggravating nature. —This assassination has excited the utmost indignation among all ranks at Paris; the Prussians have set on foot a strict search after the assassin, but hitherto without effect. The Duke of Wellington has offered a considerable reward, and the Prussian Commandant, resclving to leave no stone unturned, has given notice that he will levy a special coll o ibution cif 2000 francs daily on the inhabitants of the Bou levard where the atrocity took place, until the villain shall have been discovered and delivered up to justice. RO23ERV IN PARIS.—One day last week a very impu dent robbery was committed in the house of the Countess de la T. M. Grande line Verte. The window of that Lady's bed-room !lad been accidentally left open during the night, by the servant, and its being up was not observed, as it was covered by a curtain. Tl'e Countess had scarcely got into bed, when a robber entered by the window. He proceeded straight towards the fire-place, and took from the ;mantic piece some jewellery, watches, and a time-piece, which though fastened up. appeared to him worth the trou ble of removing. The Countess could not refrain from crying out, which brought the robber to her bed-side. He looked at her without appearing disconcerted. Though very much astonished, the Countess did not lose her presence of mind. She either heard or feigned to hear a noise, and said to the unwelcome visitor—" Do you know, Sir, that you are discovered, and will he immediately arrested." The fellow quickly gathered up his booty and retreated so quick, ly, that it was impossible to overtake him. Last Monday evening a serious riot took place at the Pa lais Royal, in consequence of the brutal behaviour of some military towards a lady who was under the protection of her husband; an 1;": nglish guard was obliged to interfere. Our soldiers behaved with coolness and firmness. A Frenchman was severely wounded and reported to have died next morning,. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. eeesserae— e , Extract of a letter - from Paris, Sept. 7 . :—" The Louvre is every night guarded by a company of the national guard, The apprehension is, that the pictures might be destrce. ed. The french would burn them rather than see _them re, moved. The dying gladiator has been removed this day $ it is the only statue of celebrity that has been carried off, The celebrated Torso is mat ked out for removal The garden of the Luxembourg has been re-opened to the public; several. of the trees have been injured by the fires w.th which the Prussians conked their victuals. It exhibit a very curious appearance at present, .the beautiful verdant allevc, shaded with orange trees, now covered with dirty hu's constructed. . for men and horses. Soldiers and their wives and children., in a very disgusting undress, reposing themselves upon the grass, or washing their raiment in beautiful marble-edged reservoirs of water, and hanging it to dry on the statues of Apollo, of Mercury, and of Venus. There is the greatest difference between the encampment of the British and of the continental troops. The British camp in the Bois de Bow. logne is quite romantic; there is the greatest regard to cleanliness: The trees are so low, and so close to each other. that in many instances a comfortable hut is constructed by interweaving the tops, which still continue in a state of ye. getation, and to preserve their verdure. The freshness and fragrance of the air, in the calm of the evening., the music heard on every side at the quarters of the general officersend colonels, the neighing of horses, and the yoices of tke rues heard at a great distance, produce a most pleasing effect. The troops with their officers are ail in motion at five o'clock in the morning, and continue marching or inanceuvring foe three hours, This is considered necessary for the preser**, tiou of their health and discipline. The broad road whicis runs through the wood is every day crowded with bands of music, conjurors, dancing dogs, and every other source of. amusement which the poverty and ingenuity of the French could invent to beguile the English soldiers of their money, It is astonishing with what quickness they communicate with each other in mutual ignorance of each other's language, The Prussian quarters are never frequented by any descrip. tiou of French, even to sell trinkets or refreshments. Not single print of Marshal Blucher is to be seen in any of the windows in Paris, there are very few even of the King of Prussia. Prints of the Prince Regent and the Duke of Weit lington Are to be seen in every print shop." STATE OF IRELAND. -.rumor— We learn from various communications the lamentable fact, that a general and alarming commotion is rapidly spreading throughout the county of Tipperary, proceeding chiefly from the consequences of the Tithe System, com bined with the present general distress. In open day the country is traversed by armed bands, from 15 to 25 in num ber: night inerca.es the number to hundreds, and they seem .abundantly provided with fire-anus. In almost every parish within lti miles circuit of Cashel, the people refuse to submit to the recent acreable charges, n:ld have, it is said, unanimously resolved to pay .no higlaer tithes than -two shillings per acre. This offer not being ac .ceptrd, the people are every where setting out the tithe of their corn, hay, and potatoes, " in - kind," and under circum 4;4uce49f alarming e;:asperation.,--f Irc,mates Jou, nal) THE ASSIZE OF BREAD.-NEW STYLE. We understand that the new Legislative Body which bat sprung up in London, namely, the Worshipful Wardens of the Bakers' Contpany, taking into their serious consideration the Price of Flour at Mark-lane, on Monday, and what they reckon afair profit on their commodity, leave fixed the As• sire of Bread for the ensuing week at Eleven-pence the Quartern Loaf, at which price these Lawgivers will permit the public to buy what they sell. The public ought indeed to be grateful to the Bakers for taking measures to equali:e imposition. Were it not for this, we might have to lament paying perhaps told. for our loaf, while our neighbours paid only i od. The Worshipful War dens, wiser than the Parliament, are endeavouring to save us from such misfortune, and the only advice we can venture to give them in the performance of this useful labour is, that they admit the Millers into their consultations.
