THE NATIOSAL REGISTER. LON IJON : MONDJY, Mittel" n, TliE Paris Papers of Weatiestily last ',;:ws come to 1;u:4. In the Chandler of Peer; the proposition of the Mar c_is de Ilartitalemy was adopte.l by a majority of 43. It tow remoins to see what the Ministers will du; whether they advise the creation of noir Peers hostile to the o'xieet of tile ineasnre, or leave it to be extinguished _y the Dtputits. The latter would certainly be the more wastitutional course. It is a violent remedy, and a dangerous precedent, to augment a permar.ent bl 7 fur fat sake of a temporary object. Some persons infer that there exists no intention of dissolving the Deputies; for the Muniteur contains a Loyal Ordinance convoking for the 25th instant, the is:ectoral Colleges of the four Depaxtrutats whose re. resentation is imperfect. II We have just received New York Papers of the Sd 11'.t. They do not supply any very important intelli ;sue. In the Cungre,s, they were still occupied with t -.e debate upon Gcnerfl Jackson's con?..act. The General himself is at IVashington ; where, it appears, some discreet citizens wished to bestow upon him a public testimony of their admiration and approval of Lis rroceedings. General Jackson, a little more discreet *fun his friends, declined this daring homage at a mo ment when the Legislature of his country was debating whether he should not be visited with Finishment. A Message has been received from the President, transmitting to Congress, the answer of the Treasury and War Departments, in reply to a Resolution re questing information respecting the laws in force in Amelia bland, St. Were aid Peewee* the revenue TIIF NATION.Q. firs:VITA collected there, and its disposition. The Secre'ary of the Treasury says there has been no revenue remived from either of thnso places. The Secretary at ar stir, that tl ate ports are yet Mil, and gives an extract t'f a letter from ,ujor Bunk head, commandintrut Amelia, in which the Major states that he has arFinted two Justices of the Peace, uud has exacted imposts on importations, in order to prevent Nriuggling These payers arc referred to the Com mittee on Foreign relations. Another MCASIge was transmitted, in answer to a Resolution of the ! louse, inquiring whether uny agents :4' the Independent Provinces of South America heti I).!eit refused to he recognised by the Esc...wive ? The Secretary of State says, that I),in Pazos t.) re.!ognized as a publi.: agent ; but his cotninisyl signed by Mr. Clean:mini, in Philii , lcl,•7.i •, • Govcrnment could not sanction !

A Dutch Mail brings an a•ticle from Brus..els, dated the 27th nit. sates, that the persons sent before the Supreme Court, on a charge of conspiring to carry off the Emperor of Russia, as a hostage for Bonaparte, in tended to effect their purpose by the assistance ofa body ofsoo French military men on half-pay ; and it is added that the lunatic plot was discovered by ti:e number of circular letters sent to assemble the party. The King of Wirtemberg, it is said, has consented to invoke the States of the Kingdom. The intelligence from Tanis is most alarming ; 300 perssns are earrieJ off daily by the plague, which prevails in every quarter of that Regency. All Swedish vessels, arriving from Spain, Portugal, and the parts of the Mediterranean, must sail with black flags until they have performed quarrantine. Cum plaints are loud at Aix.la-Chapele, on account of the decline of commerce., oeeaaioned by the prohibition of importation into Brabant, France, and Italy. The little manufacture that is ca:ricd on, is done by ma chinery ; which, it is said, has reduced a thousand fa milies to misery, and in consequence of which robberies have increased to an alarming degree The imports of Bullion lately from tho Continent are most extensive ! within a week, nine casks of specie from Holland, and two from Ostend, are reported ut the Custom house ; a great proportion is reputed to be G o ld. It is stated, that, from the late high price of Bullion in England, the Jews have brand it very lucre. tive to import the coin of the Continent, and welt it in England. Dollars, which lately were ss. 90, per ou..ce, have I.llun to ss. Gd. ; Gold from 41. Ss. per Ounce to 41. Is. tid. A letter from Madrid contradicts the rumour of Gen. Elio h►►ving been disgraced by the Spanish Government; which is said, on the other hand, to have loaded him with honours; Ferdinand himself acknowledging to this General, that he has been twice indebted to hint for his Crown. Eighty individuals. many of them dis tinguished by rank and services, had been seized at Valencia when the post came away; and the number liable to arrest throughout Spain, from a supposed con nexion with the same plot, amounted to the elartuireg number of 4700 persons. A letter from Dumfries says ;—We arc sorry to state, that so great is the mortality at ' present in this town from the prevailing Cver, and other causes, that no less than 70 funerals have taken place since the commence ment of the present year—a number truly alarming and unprecedented." . _ _ An Ambassador from the Dcy of Algiers to the Court of Great Britein, having performed the necessary quarrantine at a port in the Mediterranean, is now on his wav to this country. I lii arrival is daily expected. Sir G. Cockburn does not retire from the Admiralty. The appointment of Sir G. Clerk takes place in the room of the Marquis of Worcester, a LMuteuant of the army on half-pay. The Lord Hill, °pixy, of Dover, was lost on Wed nesday inornin, ,, , at two o'clock, off Boulogne, and the whole on board drowned. The waters of the Rhine were never so low within the memory of man as they are at present. The Royal Yacht has underg one a complete repair ar Daptibrd, and his now ready for service. It is said, she is to be dispatched about the end of the mantis to Calais, to bring the Duic and Dinghy's of Xtxt. to this country. 110 M P CIRCUIT. MARCII HERTFORD. MANCH 3.

Jit-tire Park addressed the Grand litluert at great leit , th and nearly in the following terms •‘ Gentk men of the Graiel Jury,—We are here asscin. bled this day to discharge arse of the most important ditties which pertains to ctvilised sneiety, by the admi nistration of justice. It is, is fact, a duty which, if impartially and faithfully performed, will have the due effect of proving a terror to wicked doers while it will also be u security to the upright and the innoceir, as subject matter of example and protection. In appear ing latfureyou, however. tar the first time in this country, I lament that I sheull have roamed to my notice, so hea•y a calendar of pris.nsers; and this in a cuuuty too which has hitherto been distinguished for its emu mull the general correctness of its Magistracy mid pe pulation. Ido not melon to say that the calendar pre sents any thing shocking eves now ; but recollect, all crimes are serious, and we who, ere entrusted with the exercise of jurisprudence, must even the most trifling additiun to offence There.is one crime, however upon which I wish to animadvert, and I do nut do it in order to influence you, t God turbid !) but rather to ad. dress it to the tridentate %elm hear me. I allude to the crime of sheep-stealing, practised of late so generally, and indeed almost wholesale, throughout the cutnit. This u a crime which. in my opinion, demands the west exemplary punishment of the law, because such pro perty from its nature must be exposed ; a..d the law, 'het...fore, is the protection of that property, to whom soever it belongs. In counties where I have had the honour to preside as I now do here, I !intact the oance of sheepeitealin,; to have been carried, on as I before Sind, almost wholesale, and in several instances the law took its dreadful course upon the offenders In this place the same uffect must pursue the crime, fur tie law still continues to inflict its desperate extremity, until the offence of which I am speaking is crudicatcd. I have not, Gentlemen, gone so minutely into a detail of all the oances in the calendar, because in some in. stances there have been wa ling the depositions tuken betbre the Magistrates. This incunvenience, however, if time would permit, might readily be obviated, by the ample attendance of the Magistrates thetnse.ves here this day. There is a circumstance, however, conneetc3 with the business of the Magistracy,. which I feel my self bound to advert to, and that is, that in making out the commitment of prisoners, by the Clerks of the Mts. gistratca, it is done in too general a way. I will net point out a particular instance of this nature iu the ca. hinder now before me, but merely state, that the coin mitmnt of prisoners et all times should be clear and specific. I should dismiss you, Gentlemen, with these few observations, but a subject presses itself upon me, winch I feel it my bounden duty t o p resent to y our se rious notice. It is a subject which at present eri;agcs much of the public attention, and of the Legislatute ii particular. I allude to the State of Gaols, and of course to the prison of Hertfotd more particularly. Unfortu nately for you, I understand that is crowded at the pre sent moment to a dreadful state, and iiteupabie of af• fording that room and uccutninuilation which arc so es. sentially no .miry in a prison. This, however, can be no feint with the Magistracy, or the county generally, who could never have furesern or expected that increase of crime which would have thus lined the gaol with wretched inhabitants. The subject of gaols, Gentle r men, u I said befsre, bus inane a considerable noise. but I must imam, that having read, heard, and consi 'tittered all which has yet been adduced, or which even could be thought of by the philanthropiet upon the sub. jest, I do think that the Legislature has most amply provided a remedy fbr almost every evil exists.
