THE news this week, b.)th foreign and domestic has • been interesting. -.One of the most important articles • of foreign intelligence is the abolition of the Slave Trade by the French -Government conformably to the Treaty. It is extremely gratifying to witness the pro , rress.shat is making in this desirable object, and as the variou.; powers of Europe arc lending their assistance towards a total abolition, by their public. acts, we trust they will adopt the most effectual measures for the - repression of private rapacity and clandestine traffic. It appears that -negoeiations are carrying on with the King of the Netherlands.upon the same subject. The Committee of the Chamber of Deputies appointed to examine the Project of the Concordat, is mid to have completed its labours, and authorised M. Riviere to report the result. Charles John, the new King of Sweden, has been .Carmallsr acknowledged by Louis XVIII. and his Minis . ter teceived at Court. It will be seen by our Parliamentary Report, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer's proposition respecting the building of New Churches has been sanctioned by the I louse of Commons, and a million voted for the . I mpose • The necessity of the measure has long been ,vious to .every one, and the valuable illustrations %Aida the suhject has received from the Rev. Mr. Yates's Book, place it in tl.c most striking light possible. We ly4licvo. few :arsons were aware of the amazing TILE NATIONAL REGISTER. deficiency of aecomodation that exists, but onceiappriscd of The fact, they will (with a glance also at concomi tant circumstances) cease to wonder at the immense increase of Dissenters, and we will venture to hint to those whom it may concern, that . it is not roof , : and walls that alone are wanting. Parliament adjourned on Thursday until the 2d of April, and it appears that there is no probability of a dissolution at present, Ministers having come to a determination to postpone it until after the harvest.— it would certainly be attended with many inconve niences•werc it to take place just now, though we shall be very glad when the Country is relieved from the ferment and confusion which always attends a General Election. • In the course of the debate on Wedneiday a most gratifying piece of intelligence was communicated to the house by Lord Castlereagh. His Lordship stated that the King of the Netherlands had acceded to the principle of the treaties with Spain and Portugal, by -which a reciprocal right of search is. established within certain limits,• for the purpose of effectually putting a stop to that detestable traffic in human beings, called the Slave Trade. The Bank Directors have given notiec.. that they are ready to issue . to the Bankers in' London, 20,0 0 0 1 in Silver Coin of the realm, provided application be made before the sth of July next. Some of our contempora ries have expressed a hope that this is the prelude to the resumption of Cash payments, in which hope we cor dially join, as we think it is highly important, for va rious reasons, that no time shoule be lost in effecting this desirable object. J. H. Leigh, Esq. nephew of the late Duke of Chan dos, and High Steward of Winchester, is elected M. P. for that City, vice Meylcr, on an union with the Mild may interest; Mr. Baring has withdraw n.

Letters received from Port-au-Prince, dated the 26th of January, announce the protracted indisposi. tion of the President Petion, whose fever continued unabated up to that date. The Duke of Sussex took the chair, at the City of London Tavern, where the subscribers to the Jews' Hospital had their anniversary dinner. His Royal Highness was supported by Earl Pomfret, Lord Tor rington, the Earl of Portsmouth, Sir T. Bell, Sir W. Miura, Sir It Wigram, Ashley Cooper, John in 3, C.

The Weymouth storeship, recently arrived at the Motherbank from Malta, has been released from quaran tine, and sailed from Portsmouth for Deptford, to de liver the remains of antiquity found at Lebida, and presented to the Prince Regent by the Dey of Tripoli.

For some weeks past the number of bank-notes in circulation has been gradually diminishing.

A half yearly Genoral. Court of Proprietors of flank Stock was held on Wednesday. for the purpose of decla. ring a dividend, whewit was resolved—lhut a Divi. (lend of Five per Cent. shonli be declared. Mr. Shaw wished, befJre the adjournment of the Court, to call the attention of the Court of Directors to the necessity . of adopting measures to render more die. cult the forging of Bank notes, which was now very easily. effected. Hon. Proprietor l'oonceived, that the attention of artists ought to he called to this sob. ject, through the tucdium cf the public prints, or in some other manner. Mr. Thompson coincided in opinion with the hon. proprietor, that something ought to lie done to prevent the frequency of forgeries. Ile had drawn up his opi nion on this subject, which he should take the liberty of reading. In this the Hon. Propeicter expressed his conviction, that it was the duty of the 13. wk of Eng— land to withdraw their one . and two pound notes from circulation, and to substitute a metallic currency in lieu thereof, as soon as possible, to do away the temptation to forgery—and until they could effect this, that steps sh/uld be taken to render forgeries more difficult. The Chairman said; that, for fifteen or twenty years, this su'aject had been under the consitleratiouWtheßauk, it had occ?pied the attention of the Directors night and.day, and-every thing that could be done to prevent the - crime of forgery would be considered. lie could not, however, admit that their notes were as easily for. ged as had been stated. It would be a dangerous state ment. to go forth to the public. There was in fact, much greater difficulty in counterfeiting them than Gentlemen seemed to iinsgine. With respect to cal ling in their one and two pound notes, he must observe that such a measure involved a question not . proper to be entered into there.—Adjourned. The Queen and the Princesses-Llizabcth and Au. gusta are expected at the Queen's Palace, on. Friday next. The cottage of her Royal Highness the Princess Elizabeth, in Windsor Park, has been let, . and the whole of the stock of choice wines disposed of. Prince Leopold has removed from Came to Wey. mouth, The health of hie, Serene Highness is much improved. Some alteration has been made as to the precise days on which the Royal Marriages is contemplation will take place. According to the latest arrangements, that of the Princess Elizabeth will be solemnized on the Bth of April; and that of the Duke of Cambridge on the 14,• who is expected to arrive in this couatry with his bride, before the end of the same month. The resi dence of the Duke, in South Audley Street, is prepar ing for the reception of his Royal 1-Ugliness and his ii. lustrious consort. • Rumour says, that at the interview which the Duke of Clarence had with Ministers on the subject of his marriage with Miss Wykehain, they stated the object don that there was to the Royal Assent; but intimated, that to an union with a Roy a 1 Princess of a Forci;,; Protestant House, the assent of les Royal Highness the Prince Regent in Count:it would be given. The Duke of Clarence consented to this arrangement; and an of fer of an alliance with a youtl.fal Princess of Hesse has been transmitted by a special Messenger. Thursday evening the Prince of liesre Iferabourg, accompanied by Baron O'Naghten, dined with the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland, at their residence in St. James Palace, where there was.a select party to meet his Serene Highness. On Good Friday, his Serene Highness, accompanied by Baron O'Naghtcn, went to attend Divine Service at the Reformed Lutheran Ger man Chapel, in Martin's. lane, Cannon-street. After wards his Serene Highness rode out on horseback. His Serene Highness received visits frcm the Duke of Cla rence, Earlßuthurst, the Earl of Lircrpool,Lord Mont fort, Lord St. Helens, 114ior Porten. &c, The cause of her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales against the Assignees of the Duke of Brunswick, in the Court of Chancery, has exeited.rnuch curiosity. It is said, that, in the month of May last, her. Royal High ness transmitted two lends, one in German, and one in• French, 'to . Mr. Canning, with a request that he would appli fer their liquidation, instead of addressing them to her own regular Trustees. :V/hy she chose Mr. Canning as her agent in this business may easily be accounted for. There are circumstances attending those bonds, which induced the Trustees to hesitate as to their discharge. :The first. affidavit of Count Mun ster was thought insufficient to authorise the Lord Chancellor to call for the prediction of the. documents. A second affidavit has been now made, but which, from delicacy, -was not rend in Court. - We understand, however, it states the grounds of distrust upon which the Earl of Liverpool and Count -Munster have resisted the payment of the bonds.. The circumstances arc strong ; • and which Count Munster would , not have stated, but for the observation of the •Courti ;hat rea sons rrarst...be-assigned.. for departing from ...the usual practice.—Courier. - Sir George Hope has returned to town fromflastings, and will retire from the Admiralty. Board in about a fortnight to Scotland.
