THE NATIONAL REGISTER, LONDON: SUNDAY, MARCH 29, 1815. Turtle Lac beer_ a great number of. arrivals this w,:ek from variotf• parts of the globe. I >iF patches have been received front . ' Boitbay overland, dated September 24tb, which communicate the interest ing intelligence of a battle between the - Peishwa and the British forces, in shush the latter were completely victorious. It appears that the Government, notwith standing that the Peishwa bad given security by the cession of his forts, suspected he• was prepairing for hostilities, and marched 4000 me r. from the Bombay Army to meet him. He took the Cold with 40,000 and was defeated in two successive engagements, one on thq, sth of November, and the otl•er on the 17th, in the l atter of which he was totally routed, leaving the capi tal, Poonah to its fate, where of course the British Army entered in triumph. This success seems to have produced a magical effect upon the other Chieftains. Scindiah has consented to' the passage of our troops through his terntosies in yrder to punish the Pindarees. Holkar has submitted himself r.;:v to t.hc Nlarquis of !Listings. It is indeed to be ae.se measures will restore peace to the A I tw THE•. NATTOVAL REGISTER. country; we have ngreat distaste to Indian Wars, and we trust that the only arms necessary to conciliate or subdue will be instruction and kindness. American papers have also arrived containing a message from the President fur the purpose of efßeting that re ciprocity of benefits, which was provided by the Com mercial Treaty between the two countries, to which object the Government of the United States appears to have paid a prompt and just attention. The journals also announce that a Bill is beforc Con gress fim the iniposition of heavy duties on goods con_ veycd to the British Colonies in Brilish vessels. It Recuis that four-fifths of the American 'Exports to the West Indies are carried in British bottoms, which being found to be prejudicial, the measure is proposcd as a check upon the system. It is however expected to cause :a reciprocal proceeding on the part of !Lis country. We are much pleased to learn from the Canada pa pers, that the assembly of the province of Lower Ca nada, have agreed to relieve this country from the ex pence of its Civil Government. The colony is stated to be in a flourishing condition, and able to make many internal improvements. The news from France is of two kinds, that con veyed by the pubic journals, and the communica tions of private correspondence, which is usually, the most interesting. The letters announce the arrest of the individual who attempted to assassinate the Duke of Wellington. He is a miserable wretch of the name of Castillon, whose motives are yet unknown, unless we arc to credit the story of his being bribed by a set of conspirators in Belgium to commit the act. We are unwilling to believe that is the case, though the Dukeluiscertainlynogreatrretensions to popularity with the French: The character of the nation is at all events by no means exalted by this attempt, Tile assassin, it seems, was betrayed by a woman with whom he cohabited, and he has hitherto refused to confess any thing: From the silence of the Journals on the subject, it is inferred, that the police are in pursuit of others suspected to be accomplices. The private 'or respondence. also hints that a great change is meditated throughout the military commands, from which all the Ultras • are to ba removed. It is even said, that Soult is likely to be recalled, as well as some of the other Exiles. The public journals are chiefly filled with the Reports on Finance—that on the Estimates made by M. Roy, and that on the Ways and Means by M. I3eugnot. The former occupied two hours and a half, and the latter four hours in reading. Of the real object of these reports, we have spoken in• our first article, and we have only to observe, in this place, that drcelarations of poverty come with an ill grace after a resolution to recruit the armies, and we have: no doubt that the allied powers will remember this circumstan c e, in case of any complaints being made to them respect ing the burthen of the Army of Occupation. The Duke of Wellington and the Duke de Richlien have frequent conferences respecting the adjustment of the claims on the French-Government. A Congress of Sovereigns, it seems, is to be held in July, either at Frankfort or Dusseldorf, which, it is expected, Lord Castlereagh will attend. There is little .daincstic intelligence of importance this week. There was a Meeting in Palace Yard on Fewer Monday, which afforded Lord Cochrane and Mr. Henry Hunt the opportunity of giving the Electors some practical lessons in oratory. Extract of a letter in the Courier :—" Paris, March 21.—1 n addition to the details I communic:Aed in my last concerning the apprehension of the person that fired at the Duke of Wellingtou, you may announce the following subscription was collected at.Bsessels for the purpose of rcmuneratiog the person infamous enough to attempt .the life of the Duke. Sixteen thousand francs were already deposited when the person presented himself. It was agreel on either side, that it' he were unsuccessful, he was only to receive one maf of the amount. Ile fled ba c k t o Br usse l s , a f ter ineffectual endeavour. Two persons walking in the park in that city were overheard by an agent of the police, ..exclahning that it wasubsurd to enrich a fellow who had net even grazed the pannels of the cur riage."rhig, and the testimony of the assassin's mis tress, arc the-principal circumstances which hear against the prisoner. The result of the interrogatories is un known. •It is Itesured, and I believe correctly, that one of the persons examined has confessed, in his exa mination, the de, before yesterday, that the assassina tion list was presented to him, bat that lie refn s ed any concern in it_with horror." MARCH 29 A letter from Paris of the 19th states, thst the per.. son who fired at the Duke of Wellington is actually in the hands of the police, and communicates the following particulars:—The efforts of the police have been crown. ed with success ; the assassin of his Grace is in custody, yet the police is still silent, because it is believed that he has accomplices not yet in custody. The following are the facts which may be implicitly relied on :—The execrable wretch is' one Cantillion or Caintiilion, for. merly a soldier, who had taken refuge in Belgium.-- l'his miserable outcast, seduced by the hope of reward, came secretly.to Paris to commit the crime in question ; he immediately got his mustachios shaved, and set off without a passport for the Low Countries, but the oen'darmerie would not suffer him to peas the frontiers. Cuntillion knowieg that the police was after him, fan. cied he would be more safe at Paris than any where else ; he therefore returned, and was arrested in the day time on Monday last. Nothing has yet transpired as to any confessions that he may have made, but it ap. pears certain, that be has several accomplices or insti. gators, some of whem are already in custody. The Duke of Wellington is expected in England in the coune of a few days. The frequent discussions which lie has had of late with the French Ministers on the subject of the liquidations, and of the removal of the allied troops, are said to be so important, and the situation of affairs at this moment so critical, that it is* thought essential for his Grace to come over to advise with bis government un the mutter.— Nosing Chru. nicle. The Emperor Alexar.dcr was 'expected at Warsaw on the 12th of March. Great preparations were making for his reception. The commander of the 'American squadron in the Mediterranean has requested the Dey of Algiers to give orders to his cruizers, not to take the liberty, in future, of visiting American vessel!, under any pretest whatever, because as the plague prevails in the territory of A:giers, it is much to be feared that the contagion may be spread by these visits. He adds, that in cone of refusal he had criers to give chase to the Algerine vessels, and to sink them. According to advices from Constantinople, Mahibm ali-Khan, ambassador extraordinary from Persia, had made his public entry into that capital, attended by a numerous suite. -He delivered to the Grand Saignior presents of extraordinary mzguificence ; amongst them an elephant of immense size, and richly ornamented. The Ambassador was five months on his journey front Teheran. It was though this stay at the Porte would be of long, duration. FRANKFORT, MARCH 17.... flanders'mail arrived on Friday night. The following is the only article in the papers of any interest : ‘‘ According to the last Reminds front Paris the vii Illation of the debts to be liquidated is finished ; they amount to the enormous sum of One Thousand Seven Hundred Millions of Francs." Mr. Brou„oham made his grand electioneering entry, on Monday last into Kendal. P. Du Cane, Jun. Esq. of Chelmsford, and Mr. Tower are candidates for Mahlon. James Webster, Esq. of London, is a candidate tbr the Borough of St. Ives. An application has been made to Gcdfrey Higgins, Esq. of Skellow-Grange to offer himself as a candidate for Pontefract. There is some idea, thet Guildord will be again disputed. THE NORTH POLE.--It i 3 said that Lord Cochrane has caused a steam boat to be built, in which he in tends to make a voyage to the North Pole,.and from thence to Behring's Strait. She is to be schooner rig.. ged. end will be accompanied by some old collier, laden with coals, as far as Spitzbergen.. Here the coals will be taken into the schooner ; and as the run is only about five days to the Pole, and from thence to Beh. ring's Strait nine days; and as it is intended to make use of sails when the wind is.fair, his Lordship is sanguine in hope of being the first to accomplish the north-west ravage over the Pole, and thus to get both of the Par liamentary rewards, amounting to 25,0001. one half A which nearly will be expended in tic outfit The sailing of the expedition for discovering the North Pole, and the Northern passage between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, has been defgred far some days longer. " Lord Melville visited the ships at Dept ford, for the purpose of inspecting their condition, and the efficiency of thex preparmions. His Lordship was entertained by witnessing the activity and courage cf the Esquimaux, who gocs out with the expedition as an interpreter, in case of any cemmunioltion with the coast of Davis' Strait. This Indian has his ca..oe on .board, with his fishing apparatus. He is not tall, but his firm, though clumsy, denotes great strength. His face is clear and fair ; and being dressed like an Eng sailor, and working with the other men, be might at first view be mistaken for a native of these islands ; but his features are large, and the -breadth and flatness of his countenance betray his origin. The officers of the expedition seem quite confident that the Dorothea and the 'neat, under the command of Captain Buchan, destined for the discovery of the' North Pole, will attain their object ; but they .are by no means equally san guine the ALICO26B of the hal:Jell& and the Alexander. under Captain Ross, who is instructed to attempt the passage of Davis' Strait.—Evening Paper.
