THE NATIONAL REGISTER. Tuesday. the Prince Regent held a Court at Carlton Douse, and afterwards a Privy Council.---The Rev. Dr. Hyde did h..mage before the Regent, upon his being elected f Gloucester. Viscount Chetwynd presented to the Reg( ot a new Great Seal. It is of silver, about nine inches iu circumference, and represents on one side a figure of his Majesty ~ n horseback : on the other his Majesty in his robes, seated on his throne, and sot rounded by his Ministers. At the tHcse of the Council the Regent delivered it to the Lord Chancellor, as the Great Seal of England; when the one which has been in use since the former one was stolen, several ea. s since, from the Chancellors house, was defaced in presence of the Council. A gent ral order signed Palmerston, was issued from the War Office on Monday, addressed to the Commanding officers of Regiments, stating that the Prince Regent, to tes rik his sense of the distinguished gallantry manifested upon all occa•ions by the British army, and more particu larly !he conspicuous valour displayed by them in the late illurious victory, gained near Waterloo, hairs een pleased to increase the pension of wounded officers, and to allow subal terns, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers, to count two year's set vice in virtue of that victory, and to be honourably distinguisl , ed as " Waterloo Men." The red pink, the present Bonapartean badge, is not un common in the metropolis. The officers of the Bellerophon, a few evenings since, per formed the comedy of the Poor Gentleman, before Buona pat te. lie was much pleased. at it ; it went off very well ; cur scenery (says one of the officers) was good, but we wanted somewhat better dresses fur our female Midshipmen. The remainder of the troops from Canada, amounting to about 7000 men, arrived on Thursday at Portsmouth. Mr. Edward Ward arrived on Thursday morning at the Foreign Office, Downing-street, with the General Treaty of the Congress of Vienna. The Gentleman who form the Band of Drury-Lane Theatre, have presented Mr. Arnold with a very costly Piece of Plate bearing an insciiption, which expresses their " Grateful thanks for his kind and gentlemanly conduct during the period of his management, to which the interests of the con. cern, and the comforts of the Performers are so much behol den ; and there sincere regret at his determination to secede from the direction of that Theatre." The London Committee for managing the Waterloo Sub setiptions have received a letter from Prince Blucher, of uhich the following is an extract :—" I hope your nation is now satisfied with me. I have in the course of eight days, fought two pitched battles and five sharp engagements have taken two fortified towns, and masked three fortresses. For these successes my poor troops have paid the price of 20,000 of their comrades. In your efforts pray remember our poor sufferers." The forctr of Buonaparte's boasted army is now reduced to a Red Pink. Our readers will be pleased to see that the great Capitals in the late Lottery have been distributed to the Public is Shares : the £40,000. in 2 Quarters, 1 Eighth, and 6 Six teenths—the ~f30,t)00, Quarter and 12 Sixteenths.—and the £20,000, in I Quarter, 2 Eighths, and 8 Sixteenths. This shews Fortune to be more kind than she is wont, and accounts for the early and eager demand for Tickets and hares in the new Lottcry, thy Scheme of which is already almounced. XO7 A Prussian Hussar made a capture at the battle of Waterloo of five thousand Napoleons, which he has sent to his family by the Intendent General and Counsellor of State, Ribben- trop : a soldier of the landwher also obtained possession of five hundred Napoleons. Miss O'Neil finished her engagement at Liverpool on Friday last, with Ekira, in the tragedy of Pizarro, for her own benefit, which was a bumper. CONTINENTAL CRI M. CO:L—The amour, which is the foundation of the crim. con. case, alluded to in the French Papers, did not take place at Paris, but at Brussels, a day previous to the battle of Waterloo. The husband has laid his damages at 50,0001. which, it is said. the fortunate lover offered to pay ; but the affair was too notorious for composi tion, or the party injured had too much sensibility to be content with wearing gilded horns. The Parisian husbands are astonished at this conduct, which they ridicule as a strange English prejudice, and each of them wishes that he had had the good fortune to have netted his Venus with such another Mars. Au Orderly Serjeant, charged with the important message of the advance of the French army, was so eager in search of the hero, that he broke in on his privacy rather in opportunely, and will be the principal witness on the trial. The Board of Ordnance has been directed to nominate an experienced Officer of Engineers, to proceed to the island of St. Helena forthwith. Advices have been obtained from Buenos Ayres to' the date of the 26th of May. The differences in the conduct of affairs between the rival Chiefs, have been settled by the head of the Government of the General who lately comman ded for the independent patty in Peru. The Policy of Ar tigas is yet doubtful, and this uncertainty in his measures is attributed to the disinclination of some of his adherents to support the Royal cause.
