THE NATIONAL REGISTER The Paris Papers of Wednesday have arrived.— The subjoined are extracts : PARIS, SEPT. 26.—A letter from the frontiers of Spain says, " The Young Princess of Saxe, Con sort of Ferdinand VII. who unites to personal charms the most amiable qualities of the heart, is grievously afflicted by the tempests which surround the throne which she shares. Since her retirement to St. Ilde fonso, she has been frequently found by her female attendants bathed in tears; and it l is impossible to divert her mind from ruminating on the dangers and difficulties with which the Royal Family is envi coned. In consequence of the alarming intelligence from Barcelona, the vigilance on the frontier which sepa rates France from Spain is redoubled. At Perpignan several successive arrests by the Prefect have deter mined the measures which are to be most vigorously observed by individuals and the local authmities.-- The importation of every species of merchandise from the Peninsula is prohibited, and the severest punish ment is denounced against those who give themselves up to smuggling. Every infraction of the injunc tions will subject the offender to an immediate pro secution. Among the regulations adopted, we select the following : " The communications from, as well as into the kingdom, can in future only take place by the Per thus, where a lazaretto of observation will be esta blished for the performance of quarantine, to which the persons entering France shall be subject. Tem porary hospitals in the nature of lazarettos, will also be established at Banyals, St. Laurent-Cerdans, and at Bany-sur-Mer, for lodging the individuals sus pected of coming from Spain, and who shall be found on this side of the line of demarkation. After sub. miffing to the tests prescribed by the physicians, these persons are to be sent to the prisons of Per pigaan to be proceeded against. The 6th article maintains the intercourse with Spanish Credagne only, by conforming to certain formalities enjoined by a subsequent order. COURSE OF EXCI Amsterdam, 12 16 C. F.

THE NATIONAL REGISTER. tontion : SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, We know of no more lamentable state of things than when every individual becomes popular from having incurred the displeasure of Government— and when that popularity is not confined to the lower classes, who, however respectable in their situation, ma) sometimes err from relying more on their feelings than on their judgment, but extends itself to the middle and upper classes of society— to those whose leisure has enabled them to encrease the advantages of a liber,l education—there can be no doubt but that the Government is wrong—that such is the case as regards the late dismissals of Sir Robert Baker and Sir Robert Wilson no one can deny. We regret it, because we would have the Government act so as to deserve the general esteem of Englishmen—not their bitterest execrations. A meeting has been held in Southwark (for which bo rough Sir Robert Wilson sits in the House of Com mons), and a subscription has been opened: this will be followed by similar meetings all over the coun try—sums great and small will be received, and we doubt not the intended victim of ministerial ven geance will be more than remunerated for the loss of his half-pay: as to the loss of his military rank, he has been more than repaid for that already, by the approval of every man of humanity. We repeat our regret that any acts of Government should de servedly meet the censure of all but those who arc so materially interested in supporting their measures as to render an approval of them requisite to the continuance of the means by which they live.

Yesterday the election of Lord Mayor came on pursuant to annual custom before the Corporation ; when Aldermen Magnay and Waithman were re turned by a show of hands. The Alde-rmen retired, and in a few minutes returned, declaring the elec tion had fallen upon AlderAnan rslaguay. No poll was demanded by the other party. Extract of a letter from Malta, dated Aug. 20:— " We are happy to learn that although the Malta memorial has not yet been allowed to take its in tended course, it has nevertheless been the means of attracting the attention 3 of Government to this long neglected part of his Majesty's dominions. It seems that the baneful effects of the odious corn monopoly were too striking to escape the early notice of minis ters at home, and the knowledge cf their having already given Sir Thomas Maitland direction for its abolition diffuses general satisfaction here. We sin cerely hope that no measures will be resorted to by the local authority that can retard or counteract the benefits likely to result from immediately opening the corn trade, and that we shall not be disappointed in the just expectation of further advantages, now that the miserable state of this island has come under the serious consideration of Government. We there fore anticipate much amendment in our neglected and expiring commerce, and trust that we may, after the expected changes take place, renew our advises by every pocket, without incurring the reproaches you have fin. the last few years made us, of subject ing you to useless expense of postage " Charles Incle.lon has now finally retired from the stage. He is at Brighton, in com'ort and respectability, upon the fruits of what he has re alized, and his wife's income. The former is not a great deal ; for Ineledou was always open-handed and liberal; and, besides, with a degree of gene rosity which we think unique, he always gave up all he had made to the children of the late marriage, whenever he contracted a new one. He has been mairicd three times. By his rairement is extin guished u hat we boldly term the finest made voice that the history of music has upon record. • ceeding by many degrees all others in power, splen dour, and extent, it was at the same time exquisitely sweet, and possessed a peculiarity of tone which dit. tinguished it from all others, and can never be fir ' gotten by those who, as we did, hear it in its gle- y. COVENT GARDEN THEATRE. From the tardiness of the arrangement in the first instance, and from an error in tht filling up our ticket of admission in the second, we hare hitherto been pre vented visiting this Theatre, which was opened for the season on Monday last. We shall not, of course, hazard a Critique on performances we did not witness, but front report we know that the Theatre has been &taiga up during the recess, and that Mr. Young, who is re-en• gaged, has played Hamlet and Rolla. We should falsify the opinion recoided on our files if we did not express our admiration of Mr, Young's acting—he is always highly respectable, frequently excellent—and if he had never appeared before the public but in Cassias. his tha• atrical fame, front the remembrance of his per!ormance of that single character, would have been of the first and most unquestionable class: but one performer cannot he made to constitute a company—the attem,,t to do so mined Drury-lane under the Committee, and rendered Oberon, the Lessee (or as lie chuses to designate hinisel "The Proprietor") unable to meet his engagement?. Why, then, is the dangerous expeliment to be made here? Why has Mr. Charles kemble been allowed to withdraw himself?—why did he not personify " Prince of Denmark r—His Handel has all the poo.t— tile excellence of his brother John's portraiture, wi:h the addaion of the fire anti elasticity of comparai,se youth—he is a performer the Theatre cannot spare—. 0 acior whose absence we hope the public will 1101 LI) : dr rate. Where is Mr. Wm. M'Cready—how is it possiLle to find a substitute for him—and can the Theatre affo: to SHELF Rot Rog. Henri Quaire , and a dozen other • pieces, the representation of which is not possible witi - out hint T—We have always felt a great prepossession !:1 favour of Covent-Garden Theatre, partly perhaps from personal feeling, but certainly more horn the superiority of its performances over those of ttie rival establishment; and it would be with great regret that we felt obliged to confess that there ceased to be a ground tor our pi.•- tiality. A letter from St. John's, Porto Rico, of the 21 of August, says—" A dangerous plot was discove:'- eat on the .'24th ult. the day previous to its intended execution, amongst the slaves in this quarter of the island. Their plans were laid with much cunning and the most profound secrecy, and every prepar • tion in their power made for an extensive insurre,:- don on the night of the 25th. The conspiracy, as far as it is yet discovered, extends through sever..l of the most extensive districts, but it is believed to be much more general. Many of the chiefs are al ready taken, and the trial and execution will be very summary. From the measures taken by the gove: nor, who is a vigilant and excellent officer, to Bete. t the remaining ringleaders, and secure the getter 1 tranquillity, nothing; further is to be apprehended.'' Accounts from fratavia' to the 22d of May state, thai hetweeu the 30th of April aual the 9tl: of M,y, 1,200 persons died at Samarang of the cholera m. - Las, out of which number 158 were Europeans ,kt Batavia, during the same period, 250 died. or whom 101 were Europeans. Eleven vessels sailed fin Bombay, Bengal, and Madras, in consequence. of the great mortality caused by the disorders. - FEVER IN !4PAIN.—By the former posts the epi demic disorder in the east of Spain was tnider.eaed to be declining, but the last mail states that those favourable prospects bad been reverted. The fever has broken out again at Barcelona with fresh a•:(1 very alarming symptoms. All connexion with Bat. cellonetta had been studiously cut off, and it was hoped by that precaution that the town might be saved ; but it had made its appearance within the walls, with symptoms equally fital , and on the 12th inst., which is the date of the lust letters from Barcelona, the panic-struck inhabitants were flyillg from it in all directions. Even the municipal aa thorities and military force, whose pretence must be so essential in such emergencies to preserve order, partook of the panic, and were leaving the city.— Those whom business compelled to remain at their posts were in hourly expectation of being dt:clared in a state of incommunicatian with the rest of Siroin. The fever is described to be of the most malignant kind, and very few of those who had been attacked with it escaped. At Tortusa, on the Ebro, the fevtr has also made its appearance. Wednesday last was s.ild, by order of the Sur veyor-Geaet'al of his Majesty's Office of Works, a large quantity of valuable materials used for fitting up the coronation, and some taken from the Courts of King's Bench and Chancery. There was also 4 great portion of the timber us,:a for the accommo dation of the respectable Italian witnesses, in Cut ton-garden. . _ ,idreadful accident happened on Saturday morn ing about Mx o'clock in St. Paul's cathedral. Part of the scaffolding eretied thr the repairs withinside gave way with a tremendous and precipitwed live unfiu•tunate workmen to the bot;oiu• ate WAS killed upon the spot, and the others are so mu:h injured that we fear there is little chance of th,ir recovering. A Mack hare arm lately caught on the premi , es pf Mr. NVoodman, called Woodland's Farm, in t!le oarigh of Iteacoastield. A gentleman has arrived in town, deputed by coloured inhabitants of the island or Antigua, to petition his Majesty to place thou on the same foot ing as the white people. SOD , 1 _. I It , 1 11 4 : -i
