THE NATIONAL REGISTER. LONDON : MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1817• THE most remarkable continental intelligence of tha week, is the change which has taken place in the French Ministry. The Due de Feltre (Clarke) has resigned his situation of Minister at War, the same which he held during the " hundred days," and is succeeded by Gouvion St. Cyr, We cannot but feel something like pity for the king, on being deprived of the service of Due de Feltre whose faithful attachment to him in his flight to Ghent must have rendered him dear to him. Count Mole, another of Bnonapartc's servants has been added to the Ministry, and so active his M. de Caze been in crushing the ultra party, that the Due de Richelieu is now the only one of the the king's old friends who holds authority under -him. The Paris papers which have reached us to Friday, supply no intelligence of importance. The vacant sces of France, have been filled up, with the single excep tion of the Bishopric) of Castres. The Funds remain mearly stationary. During the last ten days, they have not undergone the variation of 25 cents. A Mail from Flanders arrived last night. The fol lowing are extracts : BRUSSELS, SEPT. 17.—An event which has taken place at Lille, though very insignificant, will probably give occasion to 'enme long columns in certain English Journals, under the title of Pritute Corresponth.to., in which reflections and cen jectores will not be spared, meantime , the fact is as follows : '• Some ) ming officers, lately seine out of the Theatre, wii tbeir heads rather warm, uml glian elicit in the street with tome of the citizens alto were quit tly returnine home. The affair was going to become serious, when an officer of rank - passing accidently that way, came up to the officers and in quired the subject of the quarrel. One of the latter pushed him violently, using abusive language, then Lieutenant General the Marquis de Jiimilliac (for it was himself) took the sworffollthis rash young man, and broke it to pieces. At 1:115 moment, a patrole of the National Guards appearing, Lieutenant General Juniilliac called them, and ordered the to take to prison this officer who was confounded at such an adventure. It seems that die affair will be brought before a Court Martial. FRANKFORT, SEPT. IS.—The destination of the young Prince of Painel to the church seems to be confirmed ; he hill be created Archbishop Primate of Itatishon, and Arch Chancellor of the Germanic Empire, as soon as he shad have attained the age requisite for filling these effiets, and have entered into holy Hiders. In Wirtembeerg, the affair of the 11WW Constitution employs the minds of the public.

By the Paris papers received yesterday, we .earn that the Emperor of Russia has et out upon his tour through a part of his extensive dominions. Our domestic intelligence continues to be of the most favourable kind. Letters received in town from the manufacturing districts of Ymkshire and Lancashire, represent the orders for the different goods to be so ex tensive that they cannot be executed with the dispatch which the merchants require. At Bristol the iron-trade is so brisk that orders frequently wait a month before they can be executed. An article from Berlin announces the existence of a Society in that city, wise and honourable men of course, who have associated together for the purpose of ob taining au absolute and unti:ttered Liberty of the Press. This they consider as one of the " sacred rights of man." although how it was acquired, before society was insti tuted and printing discovered, we must leave to those sages to unfold. They have commenced their proceed ings in the true spirit of those who substitute licenti ousness for liberty. They intend to afford all the aid in their power to a libeller of the name of Malliukroit, who is now under yosecution for two atrocious calum nies against Gcn. Thielman and the army- he commands. This does not surprise us. In our country we find the most vehement declamations upon the freedom of speaking and writing, emanate precisely from those who are most anxious to circulate abuse and falsehood. From Madrid we learn that two expeditions arc pre paring to sail from Cadiz for South America. One of them is destined to assist the Royalists in Peru, the other is to be applied according as the circumstances of the war may require. An important declaration is ad ded to this intelligence, namely, that the rumours of a foreign auxiliary force to be employed in reducing the Colonies to submission, is wholly without founda tion. Letters from Gibraltar mention, that the garrison and town were perfectly healthy. The intercourse with the Barbary shore was strictly prohibited, and much inconvenience had been in consequence experienced, as the supplies of provisions and live stock were almost en tirely from the opposite coast. No farther intelligence respecting the plague raging at Algiers, had been re ceived since the arrival of the Satellite brig of war ; the officers of which reported the deaths at about 70 daily. One of the letters was written by a person who had been formerly in Barbary during the plague. Ile states, that the horrors attending it were indiscribable. Tice religion of the natives forbidding them to take any remedy to prevent infection or stop its progress, the miserable wretches were seen expiring in the hovels and in the streets, eaten up with disease and vermin. A Morning Paper states, " that there is at this mo ment lying in the River, a ship of nearly 500 tons bur den, regularly chartered to convey a body of disciplined mops, actually enlisted to fight under the banners of the Independents. On board of the vessel there are at present about three hundred men, commissioned officers, non-commissioned officer's, and privates, of whom the greater part have been in t e actual service, and are the subjects of Great Britain. They form what in military language is called a skeleton of a bat talion which is to be definitively recruited to the num ber of eight hundred, and its officers are nearly all ap pointed and on beard. There also about 30 more offi cers. who are to take their passage in the same ship, and receive their appointment in other corps on their arrival at the place of destination. The Com mander of the battalion is a Colonel C—, who is pro vided with every necessary for the immediate execution of military operations against the Spanish Government. The ship sails in the first instance to St. Thomas's, from whence she will proceed to such part of the Spa nish American Continent as may require the active ser vice of the troops." This is so extraordinary a statement, that we can hardly bring ourselves to believe it true. If it is true, upon what principle can this government withhold its interference in an affair which cannot fail to endanger that harmony which at present exists between us and' Spain. It is greatly the fashion to decry the present King of Spain and represent him as every thing that is debased and bad, but allowing all that is said of ' him to be true, are we prepared to plung ourselves into a war, to please the vagarant inclinations of a ship load of half-pay officers ?or after having so I); tterly reproach ed Lurop9 for interfering when we were engaged with a rebellioits colony, shall we follow the example vvhieh we so severely condemned, and feed a rebellion, the prime actors in which, conduct themselves not like soldiers, but 'pirates and assassins. Great efforts, it is said, are exerting to allure offi cers and to raise men in this country, fOr South Ame rica; and we believe the report to be true. Without entering at present into the propriety of this measure, we would caution those more particularly who are cam missinaed to act here for the King of Spain and the Royal party, to be careful whom they truet with their money : we see some—one man in particular—who appears to be very zealous and bustling for their service, who, we suspect, will be apt to deceive them.— Timeso FErT. 22 .1110Itli BUON APA riTIA NA. In the noning Chronicle of Friday, the public were treated with tin " interesting communication from St. Helena," in the shape of a " Memorandum of ob servations made by Buonaparte in a conversation with soma Gentlemen who had lately touched at St. Helena, in their way to England." " It has been transmitted to us fimn that Island," says the Editor, " and AVe have the most positive assurances given to us of the narra tive being accurate." It should seem then, that the Gentlemen had left their " memorandum" behind them, to be transmitted by sonic other hand, but, as they only touched at Stilelena on their way toEngland, why did they not bring it with them ?—However, to be plain, this is another of the Illorning Chronicle's " po litical pleasantries."—lt is a collection of scraps from the speeches of Mr. Brougham and the other oplxasi tionists, in the House of Commons, and opinions arising out of the perusal of Sir Robert Wilson's pamphlet, tacked together by passa: , es from its own columns.—No matter, it keeps up Buonapurte's name, and it aTards a vehicle for abusing the English minis try, and Lord Castlereagh in particular, then lare it is worthy of a place in the Alarming Chrolicle! The Government Gazette Extraordinary of Fort William contains a perspicuous account of the origin and nature of the late hostile measures pursued by T'llakoor Dyaram, which led to the investment of the fort of Hattrass, occupied by that Chieftain. Dyaram was, in fact, a subject of the British Government, pos sessing the fortress in question within the territories ceded to the East. Italia Company by Seindialt in 803 ; but his f:nner habits and prejudices, as a Chieftain of considerable eminence, led him to retain like our Barons of old, a number of armed independents, and to reside in the fortified castle which was probably his ancestral seat. So long as he made no injurious use of these appendages of his firmer state, the successive Governors General, with a laudable d gree of attention to his feelings, forbore to place him under those restraints, to which, as a British subject, he was justly liable ; but when he grossly abused his powers, protected and encouraged his dependents in the commission of rob beries, murders, and other outrageous crimes, defied justice and the laws, and became alike a terror to the surrounding country, and a Rebel against the authority to which he owes allegiance, the Marquis of Hastings felt it due to the dignity of the British Government to show that it equally possessed the power and the will to curb such contumacy andoutrage. Still the first de mand and submission was accompanied with offers so liberal, that Dyaram felt, or pretended to feel a willing. • ness to accede to all that was required of him : but with the usual instability and treachery of a native Chieftain, in countries corrupted by so many ages of barbarous despotism, he recoiled from his engagements ; and thinking, perhaps ) that " his Castle's strength would laugh u siege to scorn," placed our farces under the necessity of dragging this Cacus from his den. Letters from Halifax (Nova Scotia) mention a circum stance of considerable importance to our unfortunate countrymen, who were deluded to emigrate to Ame rica. A Committee was formed for *the register of every person arriving, his age, qualifications, &c. ; and it was requested that even• person in the colony would transmit what servants, agriculturists, &c. he wanted, that the emigrants might be provided for on their land ing ; a list was also kept of grounds which might be occupied for a length 41f time for the clearing and for commencing the cultivation ; very beneficial results were expected from these arrangements ; it was ex. pected to be followed immediately in Canada and the adjacent provinces. Translation of a letter from his Majesty the King of Prussia, to the Directors of the Waterloo Subscription, forwarded by Prince Blucher to G. 11. lose, his Bri. tannic Majesty's Minister, and by him transmitted to the Directors:— " The interest which the Honourably Waterloo Association has manifested towards the soldiers of my army- who were wounded, alt well as the widows awl orphans of those who fell in th.• campaign of Ibis, by remitting to Field Marshal Pi ince Blocher a further sum of 10,0001. sterling, in addition to tile important one of 200,0u0 rix il-Alars previously give■ for the support of those who bud lost their protectors in that memorable war, has caused we the most lively pleasure, inert much as that gift will not only siliev late the sinterings of those for shorn it is intruded, but will also prove to inv u pleasing remembrance of the esteem in which the English nation holds die glory acquired by our united armies. This makes me sic- Firm's of expressing to the noble Association my unfeigned thanks for their benevolent sentiments, leaving Prince 131u cher to make them acquainted, in due time, with the appli cation of their chat liable donation.
