In our next.] THE NATIONAL REGISTER. LONDON: MONDAY, APRIL 28, 1817* THE intelligence from the continent during the last week is nut of an interesting nature. A new version of the plan fur assassinating the Crown Prince of Sweden is contained in the Brussels Papers, which, if well tbunded, would throw an air of some thing like ridicule upon the whole story. We are there informed, that the rumour arose from the zealous vigi lance of a loyal but unlearned French cook ; who, hav ing acquired but a few Swedish phrases, fancied he heard some great men talk of " poisoning" two Princes, when the words merely signified "mgrrying" them. The cook, fancying it was all the same thing, ran away with his discovery to the Government. It is stated in accounts from Frankfort, that the wife of the Crown Prince of Sweden is expected there, and that the wife of Joseph Buonaparte, her sister, who re bides there, is going out to meet her. The ex-Kin.. of Sweden resides in that city with his children, so that be will have the satisfaction of living in the same society with the wife of the heir to his throne. Letters and papers have been received from New South Wales to the Ist of August. They give a favour able report of the improvement of that colony. Govern or Macquarrie had ordered. a survey to be had of Van Diewan's Land ; it had been completed in 39 days.— Several excellent harbours had been discovered. Th e advertisements in the Sydney Gaz,rite are of consider able interest, in conveying an idea of the great improve ments in every description of European mane facture, of 1 East India goods, West India produce, &c. They have their theatre, their Hyde, their races, and every des cription of amusement— ngland in miniature. 1 The Duke of Welling, m arrived in London On Mon day morning, so early 4 five o'clock, accompanied by a single Aide-de-Camß. 'After his Grace had visited his family and taken some refreshment, he ordered his pri e,4t4: e arri.v.-,0, and paid several early morning visits.-- A. , i ,, ;we o'clock he paid his respects to toe Priem ThE NATIONAL RtGISTER. Regent at Carleton-house, aril KM a long private audi ewe of his Royal Ilighnet:s pnvious to the Levee.— His Grace was dressed, in the early part of the morn ing in a plain blue frock, aft waltied through several streets and squanis at the wea end of the town, without being recognised, except by a fcw. Previous to his visit to Carlton house, his Grace weut home, and put on a superb Field Marshal's uniform. His Grace the Duke of Wellington went down on Friday last to spend the day wi►ii his bre4ther, the Marquis Wellesley, at his- Loriship's residence on Rich niond.terrace. The Duke of Wellington is expected to remain in England about two months: at least, it is undersum. that he wili stay till after the evremony of opening the Waterloo Britlgks, which, it iiexpectel will take plate on the 18th of June, tae anniversary of the nentiora ble battle of ‘Vaterloo. It is untoured that his Grace will accompany the Prince Regent in going over the bridge, and that they win pay the hest regular toll to be demanded front that period. VIENNA, APHIL 1 I.—The princess of Wales arrived here iu the night betire last, about o'clock, under the name of Duchess of Cornwallis (Cornwall), acannpanied with a suite of fifteen persons, and was set down at the hotel of the Empress of Austria. A courier from Mu nich had previousty announced that her Royal High ness was coming, and that she intended to slight at tile Engtis:i Atnuassattur's (Lord. Stewart); nut he went away the evening before for his country seat at linsee. The Minister of the kingdom of Hanover (Alexander Count Hardenburg) &Unwed his example, and she, absented himself'; so that the Princess was obliged to alight ut a public. hotel. The Court sent to her a chamberlain, to wait upon her; and, although she ob served the strictest incognito, as the Court Gazette this day announces, the Princess, however, paid a visit to the Empress. She will go away to-morrow, and travel through Laybaeh, Trieste, and Venice, un her return to her beautiful seat at Garovo, on the lake of Coino. It thus appears, that the disagivements be tween the domestics of the Princess and the intiabi tants of Como were not very serious. These quarrels, indeed, are attributed to the jealousy of some husbands at Cone,. It is not known what are the reasons which have dissuaded the Princess from her projected jourpey to Paris, and thence, with all her attendants, to Eng land; but it is now again asserted, mat she will wane an excursion mow Persia in tee course of the year. Extract of a letter.—" Buonaparte has of late had fourteen ientinels placed round his house, who are kept at a distance in the day-time, but draw up close towards night. The number has been increased since he at tempted to make his escape in a lumber chest, which which was deiCated, and since which he has seldom ap peared out of his own house. Oar intbrmant says, thst three soldiers of the ziSd regiment, who were only en lhaad roe do:won yew..., and whose term had expired, came home in the Adamant, every one of whom were on guard the night the intended escape was detected." The observations which have hitherto been offered on the subject of tithes, have treated it as a revenue arising from landed produce, wholly applicable to the support of the clergy of the establishment, but they have wholly lost sight of the great number of lay-iu►- proprietors who derive an indefeasible title to their tithes, as certain and assured as to any of their other estates, so that when writers and advocates assert that tithes are a Lad way to maintain the church, they 1 , 'Urge! that these also derive their support from them. 'l'i►csc tithes have been so well established by the laws they pass in the market, as freely us any other property, and are found to be a resource as clear and saleable us by due course of conveyance', or any mansion-house or its contiguous lands, therefore those who contend fin their abolition must first supply a remedy to the lay owner before he can expect due attention to his general proposition, and unti► he can shew this, he has not touched the threshold of his case. A material part of the Chancellor of the rxche quer s speech, on Thursday night, escaped notice in every morning paper: the lligltt Hun. Gentleman spoke too low to be heard in the gahery. Tl►e on►is sion is thus supplied by an evening paper. He said " That as he should have no occasion to fund this year, the limited issue of Exchequer Bills, to the amount of trout one to two millions (that is, for the relief or em ployment of the poor), could have no sensible or bad effect of the market:" Mr. Tierney, in reply, observed--" As the Right Honourable Gentleman, the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, has announce:l . that he shall have no loan this gear, I beg to know when he will communicate to the I , House his rivancial plan for Cie year ?" To which the Chancellor of the Exchequer replied, that he was fully prepared to do so at present ; but that it was necessary first to complete all the measures of supply. The latest advices from Clumber state, that the Duke of Newcastle's disorder has takea a tltvourable turn, and that his physicians give hopes of his recovery. The Duchess has happily escaped the fever, but her anxiety may be readily supposed to have affected her much ; and the child of which she was delivered is dead Fifteen of the family, including suvanta are ill ultlic kver. APRIL 29. TILE PRINCE REGENT'S COURT. On Saturday his Royal Highness the Prince Regent held a Court at Carlton-house, which was attended by the Lord Chancellor, the Lord President, the Lord Privy Seal, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Ckitil. cellor of the FNchequer, the Master-Goneral of the Ordnance, the Secretary of State tOr the Home De.. partment, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, the Master of the Mint, the Lord Chamberlain, the Lord Steward, the Treasurer of the Household, thz.

Friday being the Duchess of Gloucester's birth-day, their Royal Higl.nesscs had n select party to dinner at Glocester-house. The I)u,•hess is now c-u!ined to her mom by inflisix)sition. The Princess Augusta and Eli. gabeth visited their royal sister on Saturday, ut nine o'clock at night, and repeated their visits yesterday morning. The Duke of Glocester waited upon the Queen to report the state of the Duchess. His Royal Highness attended divine service at St. GeorgCs— church. We arc happy to learn that the Duke of Clarence is recovering from his indisposition, although he is very weak from the loss of appetite, &t•. His Royal Highness was yesterday able to take an airing in his carriage, and called upon the Prince Regent at Carlton-hous:. Extract of a letter from the agents to Lloyd's at Havre, dated the 17th inst.--" We regret to have to communicate the loss of the English brig Royal Georg . Captain Hewitt, (presumed from Lynn) with core, bound to Rouen. This vessel, in ascending the Sein , took the ground and upset. Nothing but the mast a d an inconsiderable part of the rigging are saved occur . ing to the report which has just reached us. At the same time eight other English vessels, laden with corn, had nearly shared the same fate, and owe their safety only to the accidental circumstance of the wind chop ping round, which obliged them to tack. The Fame, Jones, with corn, from Lynn to Rouen, took the ground near Honfleur, but was got off next tide. It is much to be regretted that vessels drawing snore than nine feet water should venture up this river. The insurance companies here and at Rouen will not take risks on ves sels of greater draught." The Philanthropist, an English journal, printed at Brussels, contains the following article :—" The Go vernment has just discovered a correspondence between Napoleon and some of his partisans in Europe The plan was ingenious and new. Madame Bertrand had re ceived a present of a beautifid muslin dress, magnificent ly embroidered, which came from a city in the south of France. The flowers and various figures which coin. posed the embroidery were so many hieroglyphics, each having its particular significatton. The indiscretion of' a young man who had been the bearer of it. and who lately returned to England, caused the key of this species of cipher to fall into the hands of the English Ministers." Mr. Baron Richards was sworn in 0.1 Tuesday morning Chief Baron of the Omit lif FAchequer, before the Lot d Chancellor, at Lincoln's Inn Mr. Alexander, the Master in Chancery, will, it is said, he the new Judge. The journal of Ghent of the 11711 i of April contains the fol lowing article A horrible catastrophe uremia. .1 near d'Ecloo. An unhappy peasant, fc•ltowed b) his flit et; chil dren, went to seek his broths r, in more fortunale circum stances than hims<lt', fur the purpose of a•kin;; some assist an••e. He met lii ii on the way, mentioned his necessities, and told him that his children were dying of The brother, affected by the recital, di cord him to go and seek his wife, and ask, on his part, and by his order, for a certain quantity of bread and potatoes. The unh a pl•y man ran to the house of his sister in-law, who rejected his payer, mid in humanly thrust this multi moate Family not of 6 001 ,. in de spair he returned to his own home, and not hem e a lo e to sire his children bread, he resolsed to etre them death. lle tied thelli all three together with a Cord, which lie fastened by means of a stick, and, deaf to their piercing cries, he 11 , 1. g them into a cell, is here lie also precipitated himself.
