R. will favour us with the name •f the book from which his extract is made, we shill be better able to judge as to the propriety of inserting it. A. H. on Vaccination shall appear in our next. The building in Bond Street called the Parthenon was so named because Pictures were exhibited there, and the Proprietor who so named it might certainly justify himself by the example of Athens, whose Gallery of Poeraits received the same denomination, although as n•ilike the Parthenon of Athens as that of London. THE NATIONAL REGISTER. LONDON : MONDAY, AUGUST 5, 1817. WE have seldom passed a week more barren of fo -reign news than the last ; nor have we had any event of domestic interest. if, indeed, we except Mr. Oven's *SCCOTIa meeting, which was alms! as entertaining as a 'Bull-bait. There we did find some novelty. We found a gentleman seconding resolutions, which he profess ed not to understand; we found a retailer of ardent spirits giving lectures on morality and sobriety ! We /boast Major Cartwright making a short speech, and Gale Jones opposing Mr. Waithinan ! And we had hoped that we had seen an end of discussions on Mr. Owen's Plan. By the following laconic letter, how -ever, inserted in the Evening Papas of y es t er d a y, i t appears, that the subject is not yet dropped. sir,-1 wish it to be known, that in a few days the means shalt be developed by which tic plan I have proposed will be cs.teusively carried into ekeention. 1 am, sir, your obliged, ROBERT OWEN. 45, Chatiotte-street, Portland•plae^_, Ang.:23 The accountslectived from all parts of the country, aga.! in describing a rapid improvement in every brattal of our manufactures and commerce. A letter from Liverpool, data August 21, says—" A t our two market • days,gooas have been amazingly, far, NATIONAL REGISTER. in request, particularly on Tlesday when they bore a lively advance, obviousl; the elli!et of an eagt.r demand. To the above statenent we may add, that the demand flit Cotton in theNlanchester market has been very brisk during the las fortnight, the sales in that period amounting to not ess than tgi3OCO bags.— The demand fin. Colonial produce bus also considerably increased at an improvement it price C: all articles of that description." The Yarmouth Iferahlsays--" As a proof that con. merec is reviving, there are more ships on the stocks at this time in our port than have been recollected for these .20 years.•• Brussels Journals to the -‘2-24 inst. were received at a late hour last uuiLt. The thllowing extract of a letter from Cambray, dated Aug. 19, is the only article wor thy of notice : _ _ "It is now no li.nger doubtful that the army of Occupation will be redneed WIC hi-Ousting of 'Autumn. It is even thought that it may be atirun•d with certainty, that all the arrangements relato.c to the subject have been agreed upon iu co:nnion I.eissecu the four great Allied Powers at Me request of the Fiend' Government. The state of peace and tranquility w huh prevails at this moment Mall Frence, where the public spirit daily improves, calls tOr a measure so wise and so politic. The visit of the King of Prussia to I'a• ris, where the Doke of Wellington also is,gives rise to various conjectures; but as the true reasons are wholly unknown, it would be useless and even imprudent to relate the reports on the subject ; 'minerals fin-toughs -continue to be given in the English artily, the subalterns ;:nd privates daily embark at Calais , the few returns scarcely snake a fourth part of those who go away, all those circumstances prove the harmony and good understanding that-subsist between France and England and how firmly it is believed that peace and order are esta blished on a solid basis." A New York Paper received on Saturday contains an extract of a letter, from St. Thomas's, dated the 2nd • July, by which it appears that the Royalists arc gain ing ground, iu the Carracas and Venezuela. It states that General Morillo, had taken possession of the island of Margarita, and that the insurgents had retired to the province of Guayana. This letter makes no men tion of a battle, having been fimght ; but from the fid luwing article, under date Madrid, Aug. 7, inserted in the French papers of Wednesday last, it would appear that the Insurgents have sustained a defeat. " The army by sea and land, under the orders of Generals Morillo and Herrile, have sent to his Majesty a mag nificent golden chalice, enriched with diamonds and pearls, which was taken on the field of battle, with other things appropriated - to divine service. An Offi cer has arrived from Carthagena, entrusted with this mission." A Ilamburgh Mail was received in town on Saturday. We doubt whether either the Swedish men or women will adhere to the following regulations of the good people of Calmar, STOCKHOLM AUG. 8. In the seaport of Calmar, the seventh town in'the kingdom, containing 4,500 inhabitants, the Magistrates and a great part of the citizens hove signed an as upon the honour and faith of Swedishmen, not to have any repast of more than six dishes; nt dinner to give only red wine and Malaga (Mountain) ; in the evening no wine at all, in the afternoon no coffee ; to renounce the use of all foreign confectionary and pre serves: further, that the women shall lay aside all dresses of gauze,. tull, crape, or other expensive foreign. mate rials ; shall not wear any lace above two inches broad at the most, and to buy nu Turkish or other expensive foreign shawls." Lord Strangfird, our Ambassador to the Court of Sweden had arrived, and on the 7th inst. had his first audience with the King. Paris papers of Wednesday, reached town on Satur. day. They are totally barren of dontestic news. From Leghorn 'they write, that, the American squadron, under the command of Commodore Chaun cey had quitted their coast after having made consider able purchases in articles of luxury. Tho Americans had almost emptied their stores of martle and alabaster, us well as the shops oi' perfumery ! 'From Rome :they write that Santini had chosen Brunn in Moravia, as the place of his future residence, and that he tad been conducted thither under an escort. • Mr. Rush, who will sn.-ceed. Mr. Adams as American Minister here, is the sr,. of the celebrated Dr. Rush, trio obtained a vepliet :;:f a libel against Mr. Cobbett, whiJi obliged the lattetto leave America. AUGUST '2l. TILL• CANADAS. ['Ross A CHARLEIMIN P%PEII.] • The strongest fears arc expressed by intelligent Bri tish Journalists, as to the safety of the Cauadas, in a future war between the United States and Great Uri win. We confess that we would rather behold those colonies possessions of the British Empire than parts Of our already too extended Republic. We have only time to (Ali:r a short summary of out: opinions on this interesting svkjeet. We do not think it would be expedient for us to possess the Cumulus, because, in the first place, the Government of the Union will with difficulty, in a fcw years, be able to balance the authority of the States, which are spreading with fearful rapidity— whilst the preponderance of the general authority is the only circumstance by which its acts eau be enfbreed, and its power respected. We do not think it would be politic in the United States to hold those colonies—because, in the second place, our exuatsiv% territory is already a source of ‘veultness, from the innumerable points it presents to the attacks of an enemy; whilst the. Lakes being in the nature of Hand seas, arc an admirable natural barrier to an extensive frontier. We are able to form military depots, and fit out flets for our defence in this quarter, with for superior facility to our enemy. An extension of our territory will, besides, multiply those local jea lousies and prejudices, which must increase as the ems lire enlarges its limits. A new population, with dis similar habits and manners, and ix•rhaps strong nation ality of feeling (for a part of Canada is French, or the descendants of French) to be hereafter incorporated with the people of these States, cannot be desirable. We do not think that the United States ought to wish to possess the Canadas, because in the third place, they arc a constant source of expense, and an appendage of increasing weakness to the empire of Great Britain. They can never become formidable to that portion of the population of the United States which herders on them, because its growth is far more rapid than that of the opposite British territory. The irresistible temptation of interest is also fitst driving the flower of the population of those colonies into the more fertile territory and more genial climate of the United States. We do not think it would be wise policy to conquer the Canadas (if in our power hereafter) because, thurthly, we should then be deprived of the advantage• of keeping the war, in a considerable degree, from our doors, by carryin7 it into the territory of our enemy, and obliging her to maintain a conflict with us at an immense expense, in consequence of the great distance of those colonies from the Mother Country. But, chiefly, andlastly, we ought not to desire those possessions, because the Lakes must be the scenes of naval combats in future wars with Great Britain., whilst we arc too weak to meet her on the open ocean. Those Lakes arc to be a school and nursery for our gallant little Ileet:•. On their stormy bosom the Ameri can mariner will not loose his habits of hardihood; and our Officers must improve in tactics and nautical skill ; whilst the distance which Great Britain will have to transport her shipwrights—the munitions of her vessels of war, and the seaman to navigate and fight them, will give us inculcable advantages over her. in all these respects from our vicinity to the scene of action. Some accounts received from South America. have stated - that General Mena, on landing in Mexico, had, in imitation of Bolivar, destroyed all his ships, to con vince his soldiers that they had ro resource but in vic tory. Other accounts, however assert that he owes the loss of his fleet, to a Spanish frigate, and some smal. ler vessels of war, which had cruised in quest of him. ARMY OF Occup.trios.---It is said that a short time back the Allied Ministers at Paris were called together to consider another application from the F rench Un-. vernment for a further reduction of the army of occu pation. The representation was so strong as to cause a considerable difference of opinion among the Ministers present. The Duke of Wellington did not attend ; but, after the meeting terminated, he was consulted as to the propriety of acceding to the request. The answer of his Grace is said to have been in substance this :—That- he would not be responsible for the with drawing any of the troops then in Frsnce ; but that if a reduction was intended, it would be better to with draw the whole at once, than leave a force which would cease to be imposing if further diminished, This answer was considered decisive, and :he application of the French Government was for the present refused. The fidlowin , . account is from a French Journal:— " The perpetual motion appears capable of being ef fected through the medium of galvanism. A French Physician has in his cabinet two galvanic piles, sixteen inches high, which alternately attract a pretty heavy beam. The continued oscillation of the beam gives motion to a pendulum which has never stopped for the last three years. The Physician is now endeavouring to give to this movement an isochronism which may render it more well.
