Onl3oll. 6u%;1) y, MAY 2, ISI9 A Dutch Alai' has just arrived, bringing Papers of Tuesdny last. The Second Chamber of the Sates General, after a discussion of much length, fare agreed to five projects of Law relating to the Excise and Customs. An article from Stockholm states, that M. Berquis, who has returned from St. Bartholomew, has published a work, containing acme curious information respecting the Black Em rite of Hayti. The financial system of Christophe is exceedingly simple, He claims one fourth of the property of his kingdom, while he adjudges ano ti.er fourth as the portion of the negroes, and the prittors are permitted to enjoy the remaining Apprtionsive of nothing so seriously u an invasion by the French, hd is represented as storing Lis ti .ore ou the 'summit of a lofty hill, defended 1.4;1 , Ind which, doubtless, he cansiders to c inipregnaLle. It is pretty clear, however, that .o►.:d ever the donr.inions of his sable Majesty be n . L..:,cd by bis.dreadful foes, they would hardly fail to attack his headed hill, and levy tLeir coutribu. on it. Letters from Vienna, in noticing the lan.enttCole end of Kotzebue, whose prolific muse to long possessed the Garman stage, state, that the actors of that city were resolved to get up s perform. ance in hononr of him, the profits of whit:a were to a: tiT THE NATIONAL REGISTER. be inslributed to Lis family. The conscription in :he (;ern2.l:l provinces of Austria has produced 4ti,000 hien, for the current year; but u 20,000 foreigners were about to retire from the same ser vice, to their respective homes, this reduces the ac cession of the' military to 26,000 men. Tuesday, at half-past two o'clock, Mr. Hase, from the Bank of England, made an official commu nication at. the Stock Exchange, stating, that if there is a Loan contracted for thus year, that Ex chequer Bills fur one-fourth the sum to the amount of any subscription that individuals may make will be taken at a Premium of Twenty Shillings.— Phis communication makes the report of a Loan certain and serious. The amount is expected to be Twenty Millions, and this too after so many years of Peace ! ! It will be seen by our Parliamentary Report, that on Friday the very important question of Catholic Emancipation wto postponed to Monday next, to give way to the debate on the Bank Report. We shall be glad to find that one voter more was enabled by this postponement to give his voice for ao desirable a measure. The Ptince Regent, should be be sufficiently well of the gout, is expected at Carlton-house in the course of the ensuing week to hold a levee, and to receive the Persian Ambassador, on which occasion the beautiful Persian horses will be presented to his Royal Higiiness, sent to this country for that purpose by his Majesty the Shah of Persia. On Saturday the Duke and Duchess of Kent left Dover and proceeded to Cohham-hall, the seat of the Earl and Countess of Darnley, to remain there during that night. The Princess, daughter of the Duchesz, did not stop at Cuhliani-Wall, bust proceeded with the s o ne no to Krusington palace. Monday morning the Duke an i DilAiess left the seat of the Earl and Conn tcss of D olcy for Keiisitoon-palace, where they ar rived about four o'clock, and afterwards dined whit the Duke of Sus,a-x. THE DOKE ANT) DUCHESS OP KENT.—The Prince Regent had, during the absence of the Duke of Kent, commanded a number of rooms in Kensington-palace to he added to those ocz-upied by the Duke previously to his marriage, and they were accordingly fitted up and in readiness upon his arrival in England. The Duke of Kent has been particialsrly sitenlive to tic welfare of his Duchess in their travellMg to Engl init. They came by short stages ; he there her himself in his phaeton, and arrived in that carriage at Kensington-palace on Sunday afternoon, about five o'clock, front the Earl of Darnley's. The Dnke and Duchess dined with the Duke of Sussex at Kensington-palace, accurnpanied by the Princess, the Duchess's daughter, the Baroness de Blunt, the Princess's Governess, General Wethcrall, the Camptroller of the Duke of Kent's household, Gen. Moore, Captain Conroy, Dr. Wilson, the Ladies in Waiting on the Duchess, &et, The Duchess is attended in England by Mrs. Sihbild, a celebrated midwife. Yes terday morning, Sir Benjamin Bloomfield arrived at Kensington-palace from the Prince Regent, at Brighton, to express the Regent's congratulations to the Duke and Duchess upon their arrival in England. On Monday, the Duke and Duchess of Kent re ceived visits from a gr. at number of the Nobility and Gentry at Kensington Palace, on their arrival from the Continent. Their Royal Highnesses dined on Sunday with the Duke of Sussex. It is mentioned in a foreign Journal, that his Royal Highness the Prince Regent of England has purchased of the King of the Netherlands the comi ty of Speigelberg, which is quite surrounded by the kingdom of Hanover, and has again parted with that domain to Count Munster, the Minister of State. On Thursday. his Excellency the Persian Ambas sador, with Sir Gore Ouseley, and Nlr. IVillock, his Secretary, mounted upon three of the Persian horses, took a ride through Hyde-park. His Excellency rode a beautiful gray horse, with a Persian bridle and saddle, and was dressed in his national costume, in rich crimson satin, and a fine large sash of the same colour, with a highly finished dirk, with a large diamond in the centre of the hilt. There are three distinct parties in the city, who, it is understood, will deliver proposals tbr the loan, as soon as the amount, and the manner in which it is to ,be contracted for, ar- wide public. It was ex pected and hoped in a period of profound peace, that the public would hear nothing more, at least fur a long time to come, of Loan Contractors. We understand a person has arrived.from Liver pool at the Admiralty, with a cannon and carriage, which is novel to the gunners of the present day ; it is so tx.iistructed to loud with powder and shot ut the totichehole, and can be rendered completely useless momentarily. It i. well adapted for a field-piece. Should the cannon be left ut a retreat, the enemy cannot make use of it ; but if retaken, it can be turn ed t o use in two minutes, and requires only one fourth of powder to a common gun. MAY 2. The Bill for the preventing of bribery and corrup tiun in the election of Members for airustaple, enacts, that the Freeholders in the Ilunitreiis of Braun ton, Sherwell, Frarnlington, and South Mut ton, shall vote for Barnstaple. In the garden of the Bishop of Bath and Wells at the latter place, there is at this time, nit apple -tree with tine fruit of last year's growth upon its branch es, whilst blossoms of the present Spring are burst.. ink► forth. A ihip, now in the London docks. is taking in goods and paw:curl.* for New South IVales,• about 30 of the latter having already engateil theft pas sage at 80 guineiut eash. A stage coach is shipper:, which is to run &dm Sydney to PuraruattA, being the first stage coach introduced in that quarter of the globe. The grievances under which the Roman Catho lics labour are these :—No Catholic me be a Judge., a King's Counsel, a Master in Chancery, Cha►rman of a County, High-Sheriff, Sub-Sheriff, Alderman, Common Councilman, and is not entitled to any Collegiate honour, but it is not true, as stated, that a Catholic cannot vote at an election fur a Member of Parliament. Oa Wednesday last the body of This. Theaker, of the Royal Artillery, was interred at Pontefract with military honours. On the discharge of the cannon, the shock so shatte►ed the coffin, as to leave the corpse entirely exposed to view. We understand that, owing to I...rge orders fmm clitTerent parts of Germany, colonial produce hal risen very considerably. At Ilutterdaw there "as a considerable revival of trade. LAW CHANGES IN SCOTLAnD.--The Chief Ba. ron of tue Exehequer in Scotland retires, and two candidates have offered themselves I'm- this hig h of fice—the Chief Commissioner of the Jury Court, Sir W. Adam, and the Lord Advocate. The latter, it is reported, is the most likely to succeed. THt NAvY —The Antelope of :PI guns, rectally re.. tornetl from Babadoes, has been Paid off at Chatham. The l'owey frigate. from the Eit4 I wiles. has been paid off at Plymouth. Time ',veil flizate, Captain lomew, sailed from Tenermffe on +he 2ritim of February, on a cruise off the coast of Africa. The Spey ft irate, Captain IVlitte, who lately brouulit the Agent from the Dry of Alqieri. is under orders to return ilrlTllCl:latcly to the Mediterranean. An eztemistre mimmimly of naval timber, of various deicription., has recently been re ceived into Chatham doelt-yard, brought (rout Trieste and the Adriatic by the Weymutith strire..ship, Captain Turner. It is said to he in excellent condition, and ap plicable to many purposes of ship-bitilding. SCOTTISH 110SPITAL.—On Saturday, the friends of this benevolent institution assembled with the corpora tion to dinner at Freenvisons' Tavern. As this is the season when there is the greatest assemblage in town of noblemen and eentlemen front the other side of the Tweed, the ineeti:l2 might have been expected to he very linn.tmus, and the subscriptions very liberal ; and no doubt thiswould have been the case, had the hailtic,:s of the weather not contributed to prevent it, The com pany, however, though not so numerous as we have seen it on former occasions, was highly resp,etable. Lord Melville was in the chair, supported by the Lord Advocate of Scotland, Sir G. Clerk, M. P., Mr. Boswell, M. P., Sir Graham More, Sir Poultnev Nlalcond;„ and several other persons of distinction. The usual touts were given, and the usual entertainments of cones, speeches, and bagpipes enjoyed. The Seeretory, Mr. Auld, in the course of the evening, read the names and contributions of the subscribers. The amount of sub scriptions was about 450 L, a third part of which was contributed by two individuals.—Mr. Macnatuditon, of Macnaughton, and a lady who sent her subscription through the medium orthe Chieftain; he !jiving' 50, and she 100 guineas. The evenings, passed away in great harmony, hilarity, and good order, and the meet ing dispersed about 1 t o'clock. The.plan offered to the Bank is said to have been re commended by Mr. Ricardo; according to which, the Bank should never pay in coin, but in bars of gold at the standard price : in fine, it is advised, that the Ilink shall at all times buy gold when offered, at 31. 75.; and sell it, when demanded, at 31. 7s. lOid. This scheme may have been derived from the practice of the Bank of Ilamborgh. This Bank (as we learn from a little work, entitled " A.Stateatent of the Pars of Exchange, and Trade in Billion") is " bound by its constitution to re ceive all sitter that is broitslit in, at the rate of 17 to sit. batten, for the mark of fine Of pwe silver ; for which the person who deposit.; has credit given him upon the books of the Bank. But the Bank returns all silver called for by any persons having an account there, or holding a• ball of exchange, payable in B ink money on Hamburgh, at the rate of n mks. 12 sir. banco, the mark of pure or fine siker." In Germany public affairs are very different to what they are in France ; indeed the Germans only want that which the French were desirous of obtaining in 1789, namely, equal rights, no feudal system, and an Habeas Corpus Act. And, say die Gentians, if J Ifrpresenia tive Government is thought to be fit for Frenchmen, why are we not in enjoy the same benefit ? Are we less worthy of liberty than Frenchmen
