THE NATIONAL REGISTER. LONDON: SUNDAY, JANU.IRY ;;, 1819. Yesterday we received the smaller Paris papers, which slim the state of the 'mike mind at Paris relative to the new Ministerial changes. —They say, that the reports in circulation had already produced a rise in the public Funds—and they anticipated a larger rise, which the private letters of Thursday state had taken place on that day, tit...! live per cents. having risen to sixty-seven. If there be one event which, more than another, may be considered 115 a true indication of the rotblic feeling, it is the state of the Funtis upon any elange in the persons administering the Government of a country—an increase in the price being ►he result of an eagerness to purchase, from a txmviction of tl.e changes in contemplation being calculated to uphold the puhlic credit ; sad nice versa a detrease showing TII NATA)x,‘I. :It the public opinion to be or a contrary tlesel•iption. The Paris papers of Tuesday and Wednesday of uv no insight into the occurrences tlrtt itnmetliately precedetl the change—nor communicate any intelligence what ever respecting the causes that had remit:red it neces miry. LEW ER OF LORD CAI DERV. 1(► couNTy oF co!IK. I use this comprehensive tern beel!l•42 I feel that thercis not a legal Freeholder of this great County, who is nut deeply interested in the subject on which 1 address you. You will have seen in the public priws the proceeding of the County Meeting of yesterday. and 1 trust you will feel with me, a just indignation at the resalt of it Your great County, the first in this portion of the United Empire, was'ealled by your High Sheriff, in oursuaneo of a Requisition for the purpose of addressing the Prince Regent on the death of our lamented Queen. It might have been presumed that on such a subject, every man would have felt it his duty to come ihrward, and' give his assent to the last compliment that was to be paid to the memory of one of the most aa.iable and virtuous Queens that ever shared the British Throne. It might be fair:y pre sumes' that on such en occasion even apathy would have been roused to make an exertion, that party feeling, it' it could he supposed to exist, would have been stifled ; that when the County was called nom to give in a loyal and complimentary Ad dress to the Representative of our beloved Sovereign, on a solemn and important occasion, there would have been found in this great and loyal County but one heart and one mind.—Very different, however, has been the case ; even of Close who signed the Requisition, but few thought proper to attend the !sleeting, and instead of seeing the Benches of your Court House crowded with the rank, property. and respectability of the County, they were occupied by persons resident in the City, some of whom, perhaps, had the question been tried, might have been found wanting in the privilege of a Forty Shilling Freehold. The consequeuces were such as might have been expected ; I need not recite them, they have already appeared in the public prints. It now rests with you to submit to the degradation which the County I:as suffered, or to come forward and assert your dignity, yoer rights, and your true inde pendence. If you choose to give up the direction of your County into the bands of those Gentlemen, in God's name let them be your High Sheriffs, let them be your Grand Jurors, let them be the Representatives of your County, It; however, one spark of public feeling yet remains unextinguished, l e t it la. kindled into a flame. When your Sheriff summons his Baili wick, attend him, rally round him, protect his dignity and your own, appear in your places, and let those Gentlemen, whatever may be their pretensions, hold that rank and influence in the County, to which their merits and their property entitle them ; but do not let them usurp yours lam no party man. I address you us a free and independent landed proprietor of your County, deeply interested in its welfare, zealous fur its honour, and indignant ut its disgrace. Cork, December 24, 1818. CA RBERY. Papers have arrived from Boston (N. E.) to the 7th inst. Further reduction of the Army is said to be con templated by the American Government. Mr. Forbes, the Consul General for the United States in Prussia and Denmark, had returned home upon leave. Ac cording to the latest advises %vhi-li had reached Boston from the Brazils, great fears were entertained of an insurrection in the northern districts of that kingdom ; in consequence, new levies had berm ordered by the Go vernment. Letters had been received from Buenos Ayres, which speak of the detection of a fresh con spiracy to seize the person of the Director (Puyredon), and to produce a change in the Government. The Governor of St. Bartholomew's had detained, for the benefit of the owners, a Portuguese vessel sent in by one of the cruisers under the flag of Artigas. The Captain of a Spanish vessel, seized on the coast of Africa, by a British sloop of war for piracy, was ex ecuted at Fort Royal on the 7th of September. British imports into the ports of the Republic of Hayti are st.ited to he subjected to a duty of only five per cent. ; whilst double that amount is levied on imports from all other countries. These Papers contain nothing new from the Havannah, Mexico, or the Spanish Main. The Dutch Government has imposed an additional duty on the tonnage of all English vesst Is arriving at their different ports; by the existing regulation a cot.- tain duty is paid by every vessel on her first entry tirr the seaem, but how many voyages soever may be made, additional impost is levied; by the new law the same duty is to be paid every voyage, and, therefore, to ships visiting the Dutch ports five or six times in the year, will prove a very heavy charge. Dutch vessels are, however, we believe, subject abeady to duties of a similar nature in our ports. The new arrangement was to commence and be in form on the Ut cf January. .51 ttirds the LONDON GAZETTE, Sahirday, J. 2 BANK tterTS. TiTtLY F. Brutal, hakcr, Jan. th, 19, Fcb. 13. at BriNtol. Atty.

The following is the sketch era speech of Sir Jo!oi COX Hippeslev, Bart. on sevoimis:g the Address Of Con. &deuce to the li:ince `regent, at the Somerset County Meeting at Welh , , a Env days since. The extract of the later read by the Baronet is understood to h a v e been communicated to him by General 'Taylor, treasurer to the late Queen, and private Secretary to His Ma jesty. Sir J. liippesley expatiated It smile length upon the exemplary virtues of her late Majesty. nod pmeiee. larly. in refixence to her extended charities He w a s inure strongly impelled to this ate of justice, b•;cuesc he scrupled not to admit, that ut one je.riod of his lit C, when he had fewer adventoges of authentic infitreat. lion, he had himself in some degree partaken of an erroneous opinion, which had been hot too prevalent, respecting that estimable part of her Majesty's chttraQ.. ter, which at the proieut hour was universally recog. Bet (its he observed) growth and progress of error were insepar►ble from the imperfection of our na ture, although its influence was not reproachful to the understandiug or the heart. Ile world beg permission to ar.vcrt too very recent and pointed testimon; , derived from the best uuthority, that on this occa,:ien could he adduced :—" The charities of the Queen (Sir J. flip. pesky reading a letter) have been must eeteusive, though wholly free from ostentation. Ido not believe that, 'during the whole course of her residence in this country, Cie close atilt:year has produced u pecuniary balance in her Majesty's favour: and there is actually u debt which must be provided tier out of the sale of personals. Indeed, I um convinced, that the loss of her Majesty, us u kind benefactress and a supporter of objects deserving her bounty, will onthrtunately be best appreciated by the distress of numhers who 'yoked up to her for even• resource. There is in BedfOrdshire one charity, to which alone her Majesty has paid annu ally live hundred pounds, for more than fitly years " Such is the gratefid testimony drawn from the must authentic source. To a single charitable iustitut' , a sum exceeding twenty-five thousand pintas has been devoted by her Majesty's beneficence. The royal jewels, the appropriate decoration and appendage of the (Fo'cu's exalted station, eunstitute the only final from which the debt of about 9,0001. incurred by her extended charities is to be liquidated. The remainder is divided, think, among the royal progeny. Mr. Basting was appointed by command of the Prince Regent to value and :Heide the private property, which it to be equally distributed between the Princess Au. gtotta, the Princess of Hesse Hombourgh. the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Wilmot,: Sophia. The valuation of the property at the Queen's Palace, Windsor Palace, and Froginore I louse, is nearly emnpleted. On Mon. day, Lord Arden and General Teylur, the exec ,tors to the lute will, met at the Queen's Palace, top-metal with the prescribed arranmenents; the chamber of her lute Majesty, which had been sealed upon her demise, was opened. At two o'clock Mr. Sergeant Vaughan, such Mr. Ilan, the late Queen's Attorney and Solicitor Go. neral, attended the Executors at the Queen's Palace, to make the necessary legal arrangements for the Ex ecutors to act upon and prove the wilt. Tuesday .the Executors atteuded at the King's Mews, Charing Cross, to view the carriages and horses of the lute Queen, previous to their being sold. The Royal Arms, except the supporters, are obliterated front the car rieges with paint the colour of the Funnels. Wednes 61y morining five of the horses were shot on account of their age, being between 30 and 4U years, to prevent their Edam , to the work of dust carts. We should have thought n that some better mode of dispming of these old servants might have suggested itself: a spare meadow might some.vhere have been 'bond where these animals might have had their termer labours re. paid by a little gratuitous enjoyment. The jewels of the late Queen were removed from the Bank of England to be inspectel by the Executori, and valued by Mr. Bridge. The Lord Chancellor has declared his intention to sit in the Court of Chancery on Tuesday next, to hear bankrupt petitions. Sir John Leach, the Vice Chan cellor, will not sit till the 16th inst. that being tl:c first seal before Hilary Term. On Tuesday, being the day to which Parliament was prorogued by the Royal writ, there was a meet ing, proforma, of both Houses, to hear the writ real for a further prorogation. The Commissioners on this occasion were, the Lord Chancellor, Lord Viscouat Melville, and Lord Viscount Silmouth. The Com mons uppenred at the bar of the House of Lords alyatt a quarter past two. They were represented by Mr. Dyson, Mr. Rickman, and several officers of the House of Commons. The writ was read proroguing the Pat liament to the 14th inst. when both Houses are to meet for the dispatch of business. The Commons then withdrew, and the Lords immediately adjourned. — The Lord Chancellor appeared to be pretty well re covered from the effects of his recent attack of the gout. Mr. Broughton, it is said, is preparing to move a Bid in the ensuing Parliament, on the subject of tie mon strous abuses that have been practised un the subject of the Public Charity Schools. JAN.
