FOREIGN INTELLIG!,NCE. PARIS, JAN. :;0. We learn from Rouen, that the market for entt , aI.IIS and span cotton, whidi took plow on the. 170 1 , was much larger than it had been for a considerable time betbrc. There wct sold at it 4,450 pieces of cotton stuffs. . _ A rather remarkable trial is at present going on before the Assize Court of Antwerp. The King of the Nether lands, with a view of indemnifying the inhabit.mts of ‘Vaterloo, lampoigns, Baisy, &e., for the losses they sus tained during the war, ordered the purchase of 2•'10 head of horned cattle, of the value of . 21 1 0 florins a piece, and which were to be diet ibuted gratuitously among Cie cultivators of those districts. The persons employed by the Government to watch the cattle in an enclosure procured a false mark to be ihbricated, which they ap pl'el to an equal number of lum animals, of the value of about 40 francs each, and which they distributed among the cultivators, after they had fradulently sold the fat beasts, from which they found means to dike fie mark. A foreign j , umai, in stating the particulars this prosecution, says, that the Court had directed fir the sitting of the 29th the actual appearance of ono o: the lean kine, that the mark which it still bore might bt• contrasted with the seal of Government. ( HA NTIIER OFDEPUTH:S. —SITTING ()ETRE 29TH OFJ aN• The Chamber was again occupied, dining this sitting, in do sites on the law respecting the journals. M. tie Ooze, Minister of Police, defended at considerable ie gth the conduct of his nn it department relative to the jog raids. He frankly enough confessed, that it must be the wi•h of the Government the could hardly say it WAS their ha p ) that there shoold be only one opinion in France, and II at their efforts ought to aim at this object; it was with a sew of attaining it that Governrsent wished to place the yen nlh under its own direction. lie acknowledged the d ftienitit•s with which Government had had to struggle in t rev ailing upon the editors of journals to keep within the b nods of prudence on topics connected with the public sub sistence, au•i the relations Of France %Sitio tOreign states; and es pr •ssed ItMisell surprised at the lightness with which vari ous Deputes had expressed themselves on these delicate sub jects. He maintained the doetrine, that no proprietor had a to complain of the loss he sustained by the suppression cf h s journal. The conduction of a journal was not, a proper ty, hint a concession from the King ; and no man 55 as entitled to co mpla:n if that concession was taken from him for his own na gc, t. On the return of the King, after the 100 days he found die journals not only enslaved, but rimy of them torn from their right owners. This property had been restored to its old possessors, by giving them new pri%ileges ; but a con dition was thereto annexed, viz. that they should neither say 'tor rib!ish any thing that might be injurious to the tranquil lity of the kingdom. The suppression of various journa ls 'had been alluded to. Gel tainly till member would complain f the suppression of the NaiiiJauar, the ernsetis, the 'Aria -14,1,11., the Diligent ; but the suppression of the Fidelc Aeni du /fag had been blamed. On the lath r point he declined giv ing any explanation, but should confine himself to stating, .that the editor of the l•'idele Ami was imprisoned, and his paper suppressed, under the law of the ..29th October. He concluded with sayinz. that whatever might have been done at the elections for the Chamber, the result of them had al. forded satisfaction to the crest body of the people. After sonic farther debate, the Chamber divided, when tl:ere appeared 123 in favour of the law, and 89 against it: n.ajority 32. In the Chamber of Peers the Election-law has been accept. ed; but the majority for the law was not great, being only 13. VIENNA, JAN. 15.—Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen has been indisposed, but his illness is not a serious one. The Archduke Charles is recovered from his indispo sition. The health of Prince Sehwartzenbcrg has inspired much alarm, and thrown the whele city into consterna tion. The Emperor semt several times, both yesterday and t.-day, to hear accounts of him. The carnival here furnishes proofs of the distress of the times. There has been only a small number of private halls ; and at the ridotto, on the 12th, there were not 500 person. A German journal contains the following :—" The system of magnetism makes great progress in the Prus sian states. There has been talk of creating at the Prussian Universities particular professorships, fir teaching magmetism, but the medical theulty of Berlin has succeeded in preventing it. Many Professors, how ever, gives courses of magnetism " HAMM:EMU, JAN. 3.—On the '2.lth of Dec. last a general meeting of persons interested in the affairs of the Bank took place in the great saloon of the Borsen ball. The president of the committee chosen to manage this important business, Mr. &than, gave a very ample report of the result of the endeavours of the deputation slit to Paris, and lately returned from thence. The French Government had made much opposition, and telown only its willingness to restore that sum taken away by General Gerard, who, in the name of Louis XVIII., took the command cf the French corps here from Da vonst, and which amounted t 01,800,000 francs, b it at last it consented, as a particular mark of its friend ship and benevolence fi,r Hamburgh, to acknowledge as national debt the sum of' 10 millions, to be inscribed capital in the French funds, which produces 7 per cent per annum. The meeting while it sanctioned the plan adopted, st;r el upon a notification to be sent round to the dif fere,t proprietors, requiring them to give in t'leir , and to have their names entered li)r their stock, or to have that stock converted into THE NATIONAL REGISTER. ROYAL PROCESSION .IND OUTRAGE. Tuesday being tlle day appointed for the opening of the Session of Parliament, the Prince Regent went in his private carriage from Carlton house to St. James's Palace, at half-past one o'clock, where mast of the Royal cstablishmatt were in rcutlinos to receive his Higlinets. The concourse of people assembled was mnch greater than has been witnessed on any similar occasion since the ::.tack made upon the King in SL James's I'ark, in the year Mt. on the return of the Royal procession. the violent malcontents had increased consider ably in numbers in the streets, and on its antra= into the Mall of St..lane:s's Park, they broke out inta acts of tumult and violence, accompanied with the most foal, shocking, and insulting language ; gravel, stones, aall other things, were thrown at the Royal carriage, and at the military; the Life Guardsmen were insulted with the most scurrilous language ; the gauss of the door of the State carriage on the near side, was broken three time: , .; first, on its entrance into the Mall, then abut the centre, and again near the Stable-yard gate. On the Prin:e Regent alighting from the state carriage, he in formed Sir Nathaniel Conant, who was in attendance, of the outrage ous and violent atm its which had been made by the populace in the Park t and immeliately atta the I)ake of Montrti:e went off, with all poi.ible speed, to Viscount Sidmouth, fur his assistance, and the assistance of those under him, to endeavour to discover the of fenders. 'FE,. Prince Regent even went in his private carriage to Carlton lltnise, where Lord Sidmouth arrived •:virtly afterwanlv, as did the Duke of York, the Duchess of (iluue:ster, and the Duke of Glou cest,-r. violence of the populace wan directed, not only to the !loyal carriage and the Life Guartlsmen, but also to the horsee; they re peatedly called out Down with them," fic. At the time die pro cession was piosin„ ,, between the entrance to St..fames's Palace in the Park and the Stable-pull gate. two quiet spectators seized a man who was insulting and assaulting sonic Life Guardsmen, when Atttield and Garton, two of the officers belonging to the Worship-street Po lice Office. who were stationed near the spot on duty. came up and secured hint : a desperate attack was then nuale.—Mr. Diff:trd, the Police .Magistrate of Worship-street. who was near the spot, came up with Fcv oral other officers, to give their assistance the attelopt at rescue still continued ; but Mr. Clifford commanded the assistance of several of the Life Guardsmen to protect him and the Officers, with dui; prisonet, which th 7 accordingly did, and conducted him to th e large mom in St..fames s Palace, set apart for the Yeollll4ll of tile Guard. The Magistrates then proceeded to take the charge of Mr. Chambers and Mr. Walton, who Were spectators of the transaction in the Park; and from which it appeared. that they had heard the prisoner make use of the most violent and abusive langua. , ' e; had seen hint throw gravel atones, and had struck at a Life Gua rdsman, or his horse, with his umbrella. . . . . . • The prisoner, being called upon for his defence, denied the charge, hut said he supposed somebody must he apprehended, and he hail been selected for the reward.—The Magistrates repelled this insinua tion, assuring him there was no reward for such an offence as that with which he was charged. This, however, did not satisfy the pri soner, who asserted, that if there was not a public reward, there would be a private one.—The account he gave of himself was, that his name was Thomas Scott, and that he resided in Goodge-street, Tottenham-court-road, and we understood him to say at No. 20; he was neither trade nor profession, but lived upon his property. lEs hands did not appear as if he had been accustomed to work. He wore a large plan ring, and was respectably dressed.—He was com miued for further examination. BOW-STREET.—Wednesday', the above-mentioned Themes Scott was brought before Mr. Hicks, charged with being concerned in the outrage and tumult in St. Janie's Park, on Tuesday.—William Mayortek, a private in the First Regiment of Life Guards, stated, that he was on duty in the Park, on Tuesday. On the return of the Prince Regent through the Perk. front the House of Lords, there was an immense concourse of people following the procession, hooting and groaning, and using many abusive and disloyal expres sions, such as, " there he goes," (meaning the Prince Regent) " throw, throw, hit hint, pull him out," &c. The prisoner was most forward in crying out. At this moment he saw Mr. Chambers seize the prisoner, when a scuttle ensued, and Mr. Chambers was thrown down. Witness then went to the assistance of Mr. C. and after a desperate struggle, the prisoner was secured. Witness met with several severe blows in assisting to take the prisoner into cus tody.—Mr. Chambers deposed, that he was in St. James's Park on Tuesday. On the return of the Prince Regent from opening the Session of Parliament, as the procession was moving on between Marlborough Gardens and the Stable-yard, there was an immense concourse of people pressing on both sides of the Hovel carriage, hooting, an d . calling out •• d—n his eyes, down with him." at the same tune calling the soldiers by very gross names, and telling them they ought to go to 11-11, or words to that effect. The prisoner was very forward, and using most vociferous language. Ile called the Lite Guards a set of rascals, d—d them, and said, " they ought all to be sent to hell." Ile conceived his conduct to be very improper, and seized him by the collar, and dragged hint some distance, when there was a general cry of " Rescue. rescue, dont let him he taken," and the mob at the same time rushing foe ward, attempted to rescue the prisoner. Mr. C. was now about to be overpowered, when May cock and others came to his assistance, and the prisoner was, with much slifficulty, secured and delivered over to the police officer in at tendancp Witnnes didnotose the prisdber throw any thing, but saw himstrike Maycock with an umbrella. Ile thought him the moat for ward of any in the mob.—Two other persons deposed topthesame effiet as the lust witneps.—Mr. I l icks then asked the pr isonerwha t he hat! to say in answer to the charges that the witness had made against him —The prisoner denies! having been at all concerned with the mob in their outrageous proceedings, and said, that he went to the Park merely out of cusiesity.—Mr. Ilicks—•• Prisoner at the bar: you arc not, perhaps, aware of the nature of the awful charge preferred against you—know then, that you are strongly suspected of having thrown at the royal carriage, and if that charge can be proved, you will be com mitted to take your trial for no less a crime than that of lligh Trea son ! i shall now remand you till Saturday ; you will then be brought up for further examination, and it is my positiveorder, thaf all the witnesses do attend at twelve o'clock on that day "—One us the Magistrates front the Worship-street Police Office assisted at the esamination, and stated that sonic person had mentioned to hint hit Navin;; seen a 'tam actually throw at the Regent's carriage, and the the deseriptiou given by this prison of the man. tallied with the a). pearanee of the prisoner. This person, the Magistrate observed. won't{ be in attendance on Saturday.—The prisoner asked to be ad mitted to bath, but was refused. At half-past twelve o'clock on Saturday, the examination of Thomas Scott. dinged with being one of the pennni, who committed the atrocious outrages against the person of his floral Highness the Prince Itcgint on Tuesday last, was resumed before Mr. Hicks and Mr. Ufford, the Nlagistrates. Lord .lan les Murray was examined. His Lordship, after re-stating tl.c whole of his evidence, as it appears in the Commons report of Tuesday, :aided, that he went to the Park on Friday for the purpose of ascertaining the precise spot where the carriage was attaoke.l. and found a great many stones there—lookal into the trees, and was as. totiislitd to tint that. between Marlborough.hotta. and the Stable yard, is very ether tree there were a great many very large stones. His I a o dsbip then withdrew. All the depositions taken on the first examination were then raid to Mr. Adolviao. who was permitted to take a rote of such parts as he thought would be necessary to the defence of the prisoner on his Mr. II:clts—" Is there any ver.oti here that knows the trisoner i" A voice from the ew9.l, •. 1 uu." ferctit a‘irns, proportion of di money. VEMIITARY S. Mr. Then come Corwin EL" The person wpm' for ward. His name, Ile said, was ,lames Mcorhouse. ant. 6 .teed at No. 59, Nereington-causeway. On Tuesday hot he went to the Park to sec the procession to the House; he stood on the top of t h e hill near Carlton-house; there was a deal of hissing and hooting, which witness was very sorry to hear. Witness contimad i n th e Park until the pmeession returned, and went towatds the Stable-yard, he got stationed in the crowd, just beyond Marlborom;h• home. on :he right side of the middle walk. 'Witness was rather before th e carriage when he saw the prisoner once or twice. Witness wa s quite sure of his person, as he had seen him betbre about tort n; he appear ed to IN pressing forward and was very active in the mob. Witness sow him at Kemal time near the file-giutrdsman ayeiwk). Witness FAR' a stone thrown, but could not say the prisoner threw it, it came from the place where the prisoner was standing; he saw an ann raised up, but lie could not say it was the prisoner a. Witness saw no more of th e prisoner; he got near Lord Ilarrington's windows, and saw a boy about Is or lb years of age throwing stones at the carriege. Witness attempted to seize him, but could not, us the pressure of the crowd was so great. The stones t• truck the royal carriage ; he should know the boy 14., , ain. Witness went to the lions, of Correction on Thurt day, and immediately identified the prisner. Hobert Turner was next called. Th., a hole amount of his eNi. Bence was, that he saw a man throw a stone at the carriage, and it broke the window, but he was sure it was not the prisoner. Mr. Adolphus now observed, that as he understiad that the ma. gi trate did not intend to make this a definitive examination, 1 e could not say any thing resputing bail being received for the liberty of the prisoner. Mr. Hicks observed. that in all cases, and particularly in a case of so much importance, both to the public and to the prisoner, he was most anxious that the accused should have the benefit of legal assistance; •• but tobeerved the worthy magistrate) I will tell you, Mr. Adolphus, that the charge likely to be instituted against the prisoner is of the highest nature ; and !rehire I fully mamma him for trial, I shill cautiously look into the different Acts of Parliament. That I am so distinctly clear upon all the points of law applicable to the present ease, that I think the evidence wears three distinct species °Hugh treason against the unfortunate man at the bar; my mind is made up; we have evidence enough to show, that high treason has been committed on that day. The only question is, by whom was it committed ? This remains for a jury to decide." All the witnc,s.ii then signed and swore to their depositions; and the prisoner was or. tiered to he brieight up again on Wednesday next, at one o'clock, in order to be finally examined. (In an application made by Mr. Adolphus. Mr. Hicks gave liar. tions, that doe prisoner's legal advisers should be admitted to him ill prison. ONLY ONE DAY TO DRAW.
