THE NATIONAL REGISTER. LON i)ON : MOND.II, JULY 29. -~-- WE have received the Paris Papers of Thursday. —These papers mention the liberation of Messrs. Wilson, Hutchinson, and Bruce ; adding, that Captain Hutchin son set off immediately to join his regiment ; and that Sir Robert Wilson and Mr. Bruce were to 'quit Paris for Eng land in a week. Another horrible case has been taken cognizance of by the Court of Assizes at Nimes. On the 3d ofJuly, 1815, abe town of Uzes had hoisted the Bourbon standard. Se veral of the neighbouring Communes immediately rose to punish it for its loyalty. A Gentleman of Uzes, of the name of Nicholas, with somegend'armes whom he had or- • ganized, was deputod to the rebels to induce them to re turn to their homes. At the bridge of Arpaillargues he came up with them, and, getting off his horse, assured them he came in perfect peace. One of the rebels bade him cry out nee fEmperenr!—" Never," exclaimed the gallant Royalists,' " the Bourbons, or death !" A sabre blow was immediately aimed at him. lie warded it off. A coward rebel from behind immediately discharged his musket at him, and he fell dead. The rebels pillaged him, and seized a fine sabre, which the Sub-Prefect at Uzes declared should be the reward of him who should be proved to have been the assassin. Two actually contend ed for the Prize ! The assassins had hitherto remained unmolested. Three of them, however, were at length apprehended and brought to trial. One was condemned to death, and another acquitted by the Judges, seven of the Jury finding him guilty, and tire not guilty. Two thirds 4 the Jury, we believe, must pronounce a person to be guilty before the Judges van sentence him to punish ment. The trial of Gen. Mounton Duvernet terminated on the 19th. He was found guilty ; sentence—Death. His wife arrived on Monday in Paris to solicit the clemency of the King; and appeared the same day in the Saloon of the Marshals, at the Thuillerics, accompanied by her daughter. She threw herself at his Majesty's feet, who is stated to have been extremely affected by their grief, but rejected the appeal to his clemency.—At this distance of time from the offence, mid after the power of the Govern ment has been so fUlly shewn, we can sec no utility in this or similar trials. The sacrifices already made, and the length of time, might safely admit some relaxation in the course of vindictive justice. Fouche, it is said, is going to Carlsbad, where the re ported Congress of Kings who signed the Holy Alliance is to be held. The pretext of this journey is the indis position of his wife, who had been advised by her Phy sicians to proceed to that celebrated watering-place; but those who are acquainted with the active part which Fouche had taken in the great events of our time will probably ascribe it to some object connected with this royal meeting. The Mani/fair contains a long official article, respecting the organization of the National Guard of the kingdom. By this new Ordinance every Frenchman, between the ages of twenty and sixty, is bound to serve. However, those who pass the age of idly are only liable to serve in the sedentary guard. The Officers are chosen by the King fire five years, on the recommendation of the Civil Power ; and the whole of this great national armament is placed under the constitutional controul of the Minister of the Interior. Admiral Lord Exmouth, with the whole of his squa dron, passed Portland on the evening of the 2.5 th, with a tine breeze from the N. W. which continued sufficient time for his Lordship to clear the Channel, The expe pedition is admirably fitted out in all respects; and, we predict. will effectually fulfil the objects of its mission. Algiers, though strong, is more exposed to a British squadron than Tunis. It contains about 100,000 inha bitants. Tunis, though by no means so populous, is stronger, its fortifications being three miles in circum ference, and standing nearly six miles from the sea, but communicates with it by means of a large - lake, navigable for boats. It is commanded, however, by the surround ing hills; and though large sums have lately been laid out upon its works, yet the Citadel, begun by Charles V. is but weak, and is exposed to batteries from a rising ground near it. The first place of attack would, indeed, be the Port, or Goletta, which is strongly fortified against a naval assault, and openly exposed to Ismil ardment from a hill close by the ruins of ancient Carthago ; but if this place is destroyed, it will be many years before their piratical shipping can. he secured from an enemy. VC'e understand frem the I'aris Papers, that the Alge tines, afraid of a bombardment, have sent into the inte rior their most valuable cifbcts. JULY VI THE PORTUGUESE GOVERNOR OF ST.JAGO. We copy the following front another paper ; upon which we ought to observe, that it would be premature to charge the affair upon Portugal, as an act of national insult and ingratitude, before it he ascertained how far the Government of the Brazils is disposed to identify itself with the conduct of the Governor of St. Jago. :The course which has been pursued by the Captain and pas. sengers seems a very proper one. " The ship Philippa, Captain G. Nicholls, bound to Cal cutta, touched a! Pray.e, in the Isle of St. Jago, on the lath of May, with a slew of obtai ii iii g a supply of water and refresh ments. They found lying in the harbour the ship Mulgrase Castle, Captain Ralph, put in Ririe ill distress, havin g struck on the rucks that rim oil the north-east point of Itiiitavista ; and She Captain of the Philippa being solicited by her commander to take part of the Mulgrave Castle's cargo on board to the Cape, he agreed tc the proposition for a certain sum in order that the damaged ship might proceed to Rio de Janeiro tiir re. pairs. The Col 1111 l ander of the Phillippa, in agreeing to the ac commodation proposed, highly incensed against him the Por tuguese Governor, Don Antonio de Contrinto de Linicasti e . Although die British paid bins every respect due to his ancho rite, he petsecuted them to the utmost of his power, and for nu other reason than because the Phillippa was likely to lie the means of wresting out of his hands a valuable British property, which lie hail calculated on getting into his possession. Th e Commander of the Philippa and Captain Ralph were treated by the covetnor on their first landing with marked disrespect. They were immediately summoned before hint ; and, atter being obliged to hear the most violent language used in ex pressing his detestation of the English nation ill general, he placed both the officers under arrest, and then ordered a sur vey of the Mulgrave Castle, with the fill intention of detaining her as incapable of prosecuting her voyage. The Governor beat to arms as soon as the surveying officer landed, fired two shots at the British ships, and it was with nitwit difficuL'v her was prevailed on by au officer ruder him, to alter his dote rmi nation of sinking them. The two officers of the Philippa were next confined in a common gaol, ss Wawa a hearing, and had thr a companion n criminal for murder! The Philippa was pot in possession of :it) soldiers; and Capt. Barrington, who ass passenger in the Philippa, was forced on shore, and with the C ander, were considered to be prisoners on parole. After this. the Gosertior weighing, it was supposed, the consequence of his conduct, thought proper to be more moderate, and grant ed permission thr the vessels to proceed on their destinations. 'flue following is the copy of a protest sent to the Governor by the Officers and passengers of the two vessels:— TO HIS EXCLLLENCE DON ANTONIO DE CONTRINTO DE LAN. CAST lE. Sta,-llaving received your Excellency's permission for the British ships Philippa :old .\lulgrave Castle to protecti on their voy age , Sc whose names arc undersigned. feel' it to be a duty that we owe to the owners of those ships, and the valuable property on board of them, to the underwriters both on ships and property, and to the Government whose subjects we are, to protest, and we do hereby most solemnly pro_ test against all the violent measure, which your Excelkney has thought proper to adopt towards us during our stay at Prayer, a port which wassouglit by the Commander of the )lulgravc Castle, when that vessel was in distress. and when he naturally expected to receive every degree of protection, support, and assistance his situation re. quint]. How far his expectations have been fulfilled by the circum stances detailed in Captain Harrington's second letter to your Excel. lency, under date May 26. or how tar the relations of peace and amity between two friendly powers have been preserved by your Excellency towards us g,nerally ,it is not our purpose here to inquire; but we shah draw up a hill and correct statement of the wl.ole of those violent measures which are the subject of this protest, and lay the same as h illib soon m •le beriire his Excellency the Right Hon. Vi scount Strang ford. t tish . Ambassador at the Court o f B raz il s , to b e b y hint subniitt to the Prince Regent of Portugal, and to the British Govern ment. We have the honour to be, by the Officers and rusengers.) The French Functionaries have been.fbrcing the Pub.. lie, who contributed to the loan of 100 millions, to make a volunlary renunciation of their claims.—The Minister of Finance has been obliged to reprimand these zealous agents of Government. The famous Billaud de Varennes, who was transported to Cayenne soon after the full of Robespierre, and supposed to be dead, arrived at New York on the 15th of May from Cayenne. _ _ _ it is reported, that Ministers, yielding to the neces sities of the country, have resolved upon a reduction of the army to the amount of 10,000 men. _ _ It is stated, that the health of the Right Hon. Geo. Row is very seriously affected. The Board of Excise have directed, that informations be laid against all persons selling beer or spirituous li quors without licences, at fairs, &c. _ _ As a proof of the defalcation in the Revenue in the article of Wine, we understand, that the Orphan Tax alone (received by the Corporation of the City of London) on that article, for the last half -year, which used to ave rage 9.2001. did not exceed 7001. — A Head of the Marquis of Anglesey, engraved ;I•ona a bust by Chantrev, will be one of the National Medals; and we understand, that all the Generals who distinguish ed themselves during the late war will be included in the series. By the death of the Earl of Mountnorris, a vacancy occurs in the Irish Representative Peerage. Thursday the new Vauxhall iron bridge was opened for tarriages with much ceremony, in the presence of the Treasurer and Commitee of Proprietors, and a number of persons of respectability. The water was covered with boats and spectators. A Society is forming at Deal, to be called " The Fish erman's Friend," for the purpose of curing herrings, ac cording to the Dutch method, for home and Mreign consumption. It is intended, to put up 2000 barrels in the approaching season, and thus give employment to a large portion of the starving poor. The remains of the late venerable Bishop of Landar were interred in the parish church of Bowncss. on the banks of Windermere. His Lordship's tenants preceded the hearse ; and the procession was closed by the t ar riai;Ls of a number of i:anilies of the first respectability. IN
