THE NATIONAL REGISTER. LONDON : MONDAY', OCTOBER 28. THE elections in France, which are conducted in a more summary though more intricate way than ours in England, are now completed, and the results of them known. It appears, that with all their schem ings and machinations, and stretches of the consti tution, the Ministers have not been able to succeed in the formation of a new Chamber to the full extent of their wishes. The sense of the great body of the people in the provinces was decidedly against them ; and they have in many instances persisted in returning Members of the late Chamber, in whose love of order and attachment to' the Constitutional Monarchy they could confid,. In the Department of the Seine, and at Paris, a tendency to revolutionary principles is more prevalent, the elections being chiefly in the hands of the monied interest, who are notoriously attached to Buonaparte, and who only desire the confiscation of the remaining Church Property to repay them the sums they advanced to Buonaparte to enable him to escape from Elba, and squander the blood of France at Wa terloo. We are sincerely glad to see that the people of France seem a little more alive to the true security of the Throne than the King himself. They have, as much as they could, counteracted the pernicious effects of the Ordonnance of Dissolution. We still, how ever, look with apprehension to the state of the Mo. narchy, when we see the King, like his unfortunate predecessor, in the hands of the men, who, till now, have been his avowed enemies ; and his staunch friends, the adherents of his adversity, disgraced and driven from his couneils—" it is not and it cannot come to good." They only wait for a fit season to throw off the mask, and tura round upon their Sovereign in their true colours. The meeting of the new Chamber, in which the Ministers have of course contrived to secure a majority, will be an anxious period. The parties are now exerting themselves to procure the election, each of their own partizan, to the Presidency. The Royalists support M. Bellart and M. Villek ; the Ministerialists, alias the Revolutionists, M. Royer Collard. We are pleased to observe, in the accounts from Germany, that the Duke of Hesse Darmstadt has been suppressing Lotteries in his territory, and that the Duke of Mecklenburgh has called together the States of his Duchy. We regret that this week's Paper should contain fresh accounts of popular tumult and discontent in se veral parts of the kingdom. The most considerable of these disorders took place at Merthyr Tydvil, in Gla morganshire. An account of it will be found in ano ther part of our Paper. We arc happy to see that tranquillity is now restored. We wish we could also add, that the poor labourers had returned to their work. These unfortunate men are entitled to more than an ordinary share of pity. Their conduct is the result of sheer unmitigated distress. They arc out of the reach of seditious principles, and untainted by the influence of profligate habits—they were disposed to work, and to be contented and orderly; but their wages were re duced (and we believe necessarily) below the barest means of subsistence—hunger and wretchedness goaded them on to imprudent and misguided efforts fur ob taining relief. We speak thus of these culpable pro ceedings only with a view of placing in the strongest light the evidence they aflind of the real distress of parts of the population. This is the most cogent argu ment for economy and retrenchment of every practicable description. This must be practised, or there is no answering for the consequences. Other modes of re lief arc not to be neglected. We have given some ac count of a Committee formed at the Mansion House for providing employ for the unoccupied poor. We are convinces' this may be accomplished in a variety of ways, some of which were suggested to the Committee, and appear rather more rational and feasible than the pastry s . yslem of the Morning Chronicle. We sincerely hope they may be carried into effect with success. No suggestions, by which a single mail c a n b e put into the •OCTOBER 28. way of earning his bread, are too trivial for adoption in the present season of emergency. The accounts from Monmouthshire and its neigh bourhood, yesterday, w:re as favourable as can be de sired. The men belonging to the iron-works, who re fused to work on account of wages, endeavoured to se duce the workmen at the Collieries, and other great places of employment. The Colliers hesitated ; but we are happy to find they have returned to their duty, and that the Collieries are again at work. Exchanges came lower from all part* of the conti nent on Saturday.• At Paris, on Wednesday last, the ' exchange on London was :25. 30. An account, dated six o'clock, Tuesday evening, was received on Thurday night from Dublin, stating that the symptoms of the Lord Lieutenant's disorder, which threatened immediate danger, had ceased ; and that tba only apprehension that then remained arose from the extreme weakness to which his Excellency has been re duced. The greatest solicitude fbr Lord Whitworth's recovery has been strongly manifested in Dublin and its neighbourhood. The following unflwourable accounts of Lord Whit worth, are extracted from the Evening Correspondent published at Dublin on Wednesday afternoon We fell extreme regret in laying the following report before our readers : " BELLE:FIN OF HIS EXCELLENCY TIIE LORD LIEUTENANT'S 11F:41.111. " Plieenix-park, Wednesday, 9 o'clock, a. m. " The Lord Lieutenant had a restless night, and is out so well this morning. (Signed) " WM. HARVEY, "P. CRAMPTON, " G. RENNY, " R. PERCEVAL." ".When our paper was put to press no bulletin later than the above had been received at the Castle. It is with the deepest sorrow, however, we have to state, that all the private accounts received down to three o'clock were extremely unfavourable, and have left us to dread that the next intelligence May be fatal to the hopes and wishes of our readers." Paris Journals to the 24th arrived yesterday. The Monitcur gives a table of the late' elections, of which the following is the result, viz. :—New Depnties, (i 0 ; Members of the late Chamber, 174; Deputies returned for two different places, 2. The names of the two De puties from Corsica are still unknown. The number of the Deputies to the last Chamber not returned to the present, is 21.5; of whom 44 are under the required age of forty. Forty-six of the Presidents of the Elec toral Colleges have been returned Deputies. COAST OF AFRICA.—His Majesty's ship /aeons/ant brings advice& from Cape Coast Castle of so recent a date as the 14th August, from which it appears that the Ashantee army had taken its departure in June from the Fantee country, and proceeded to the back of Acra, where they remained encamped. Cudjo Coomab, one of the three fugitives of whom they had come in pursuit, put an end to his existence, to avoid falling into their hands. A second, named Quou Saffaroutchie, was treacherously slain by his own people, and his re mains delivered over to the Ashantee Commander.— These two were accused by the Ashantees of having occasioned a war of ninny years' duration. Having ascertained their fate, they did not persist in their de mand of having the third, who was named on the Coast Coffee Ashantee, delivered up to them. They alleged that he only participated in a slight degree in the injurious counsels of his colleagues; but the real cause of theirforbearance with respectto him isunderstood to have been, that he was a favourite with some of the King's family. The blacks around Cape Coast Castle had been reduced almost to a state of starvation, but their distresses had been relieved by the humanity of the British officers and others, who raised a subscription to purchase them the means of existence. By order of the Governor and Counsel at the Cape, 200 chests of corn had been pur chased to supply the soldiers and blacks in the service of the Company. General Daendels, the Governor of the Dutch fort of St. George del Mina, paid his promised visit to Cape Coast on the 25th of June, and expressed himself highly gratified with his reception. The dispute, or, as it is there termed, the palaver, between the Fantees land the Inhabitants of Oddenna, a dependency of El Mina, had not led to any acts of hostility at the departure of the Incousaant. A curious fact is mentioned with regard to Mr. Sewett, late purser of his Majesty's ship Ulysses. He left the vessel at Prince's Island, and pur chased a schooner, with the intention of trading along the coast. Upon his going ashore at Why dah he was detained by the people, and compelled to assume the command of the fort there, which the British abandoned some years ago, on the death of Mr. Lionel Abson.— Whydah is situated in a territory of the same name, which has for nearly a century been a dependency of the kingdom of Dahomey. The Shrewsbury• paper states, that the bank of Messrs. Trevor, Richards, and Co. of Whitchurch, stopped pay ment on Monday hist. A project has been submitted to the Committee for the Poor at Staffi)rd, to employ a number of men to re duce the heavy hill on the Shrewsbury-road at Tettat hall, near Wolverhampton, which will, in all proluilii. lity, be speedily adored.
