"Vive k Due de Bourdeaux I" " Vive la Duchene de Berri!" All our wishes are fulfilled, all our hopes ore justified. The feigned or real alarms—the clouds which obscured our horizon— are dispelled, and Frame rejoices and takes courage on seeing Flovidence protects the race of the Kings. Hell tied said, by the mouth of Louvel, " I will strike the last of the Bourbons, and I will dry the source of the blood of St. Louis and Henri IV." At the list accomplishment of the crime the Genius of Evil gave a loose to his fatal joy; but Heaven had already marked its term. In the treasures of its foresight it reserved one germ—the frail and doubtful hope of a whole family—a whole family plunged in grief. • • • -• *** ** " We hastened to acquaint our readers this morning with the ao:ouchenient of the Duchess of Berri. They will read with pleasure the details we have collected. The first symptoms of the pains had hardly manifested themselves, when her Roy al Highness sent word to the King; the physicians were also in. formed, as well as the witnesses appointed by the King. but her Royal Highness was almost alone when she gave birth to a Prince. At the critical moment her Royal Highness, arming herself with extraordinary courage, ordered that the operation should be suspended till the witnesses, taken from the persons present in the palace, were called. Some National Guards on duty at the Tuileries immediately repaired to her Royal High ness, and it was in their presence, and in that of the Marshal Duke of Albufera, who had hastened to the spot, that the deli verance of her Royal Highness was completed. It was 35 min. :2 a. in., as appears by the following bulletin published this morning:— " FIRST BULLETIN. Sept. 29. •"fo day, at 35 minutes past two in the morning. her Royal Highness the Duchess of Beni was delivered of a Prince, well donned, and in good health. •• Their Royal Highnesses areas well as possible. " At the Palace of the Tuileries, 4 a.m. (Signed) " PORTAL, Baron DAPIITTRON, " ALIBERT, DENEUX, " LINTEL GUERIN, Accottc.heur." " Baron BOUGON, " Their Royal Highnesses Monsieur and the Duke and Duchess of Angouleme repaired to the Duchess of Berri, at the first news of her situation, and never quitted her. The King went to visit the Princess at half past tire o'clock ; their interview was most affecting: it was at this moment that the King, approaching the young Duke of Bourdeaux, rubbed his lips with a clove of garlick, thus renewing the trait of Henri d'Albert to his grandson, our good Henri IV. ' " Already at three o'clock, the hotels of the Garde, du Corps of the King and of Monsieur were illuminated. •• At four the court-yard of the Tuileries was orowded with the carriages of the olhicers of state, and of the household of the King and the Princes. " 'At five the Duke of Orleans, and the Ambassadors of Spain and Naples, came to the palace. •• At the moment when the discharge of 24 cannon announced the birth of the Duke of Bourdeaux, 12 men of each of the corps which formed the guard of the Palace were admitted into the interior of the apartments to see the august infant. 66 The King received in the morning the congratulations of the Princes and Princesses of his family, of the ministers, the mar shals, the presidents of the supreme courts, of the prefect and Diaper, of Paris, and the officers of all the corps, The crowd was immense. His Majesty desired the persons to be introduced who were present at the birth. His Majesty repaired to the chapel to bear watts with Madame and the Princess. On coming out his lUa,jesty appeared at the balcony, and was saluted with cries of Vivc k Roil a thousand times repeated. His Majesty having shown a desire to speak, profound silence instantly succeded the loud demonstrations of joy, and the King, in a firm and sonorous mice, expressed himself in these terms:— •• • ikly Children,—Your joys increase mine a hunched fold—a child is born to us all---(interrupted by acclamations). this child will be one day your father : he will love you as I love you, us all my friends love you.' These words electrified every heart, and the acclamations redoubled. The young Prince has been aa dope this morning, and he will be called Henry Charles Fer. dinand, Dieu Donne, Duke of Boturdeaux.*.e. The Police have issued an ordinance, announcing the happy event, and inviting the inhabitants to illuminate their houses this evening. The second bulletin; issued at 8 p.m. is quite satisfactory." MADRID, SEPT. 15.—The King has sanctioned the decree relative to the extinction of the Jesuits, It was officially published in the Gazette of the day betbre yesterday. This decree at the same time orders the re-establishment of the Chapter of St. Isidore, which the Jesuits had suppressed on their arrival. - - . - Number 160 of the Conservator has been seized, as notoriously derogatory to the Majesty of the King. The editor will be prosecuted by the com petent tribunal, according to the unanimous decision of the Junta of Censure. HAMEURGII, SEPT.-Our journals contain a pa per without a signature, dated the frontiers of Savoy, Sept. 4, which purports to be an address from the I'iedmontese to his Majesty the King of Sardinia, requesting him to give them a constitutional govern ment. In this paper the petitioners express their firm attachment to his Majesty and his illustrious house, and their confidence in the wisdom which always presides in his councils ; and have awaited since the regeneration of Spain what his Majesty might determine. But events anticipate us; the changes in Naples affect us too nearly; the Neapolitans arc Italians like ourselves, but their revolution has become a family concern. VIENNA, SEPT. 16 —We have this moment re ceived intelligence that the Neapolitan Prince Cimitele had got a declaration from Prince Metter nich to the following eflect7—" That the great Powers of Europe were perfectly agreed not to recognise the actual state of things in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, because this state of things had been only introduced by force of arms In conse quence, these Powers had deciced on not receiving a plenipotentiary or minister on the part of a superior authority which was established by force of arms." It was after receiving this declaration that the Prince ?e Cimitele quitted Vienna yesterday, where he had passed snore than fifteen days, and proceeded ou his route for Naples. FIRE AT PORT-AU-PRINCE. [EXTRACTS FROM LETTERsj " Port.au-Prince, Aug. 20. " I have to inform yoo or the dreadful cata.troilire which ins Walley this city. Ou Tuesdiry worniug, be- THE NATIONAL REGISTER tweet' II and 12, a file was discovered in the tipper part of Dr. Cruchou's house, which communicated to every part of the building in so short a spire or lime, that the utmost exertions of the inhabitants were of no ava:l ; scarcely any thing was saved. The want of water ren dered it impossible to stop the progress of the fire, and, unfortunately, their are no engines in the city. The sea breeze coning in at the sante time, cau►ed the Names to take a nortli-easterly'direction, and ten squares of the richest, most populous, and best built part of the city were in akw hiatus in ashes. Where lately stool hun dreds of shops tilled with merchandise, ere now smoking ruins. Such was the luny of the devouring element, that upwards of 1500 houses have been totally destroyed.— With the Jest, fiction of the houses and the property contained in them, the loss is moderately calculated at ,13.i0,000 of dollars. Oilier letters estimate the loss at from 3,000,000 to 4,000,000. Although hurt-au-Prince is watered by a number of small 'Meatus, some of which run through the middle of the streets, no water was to be had, all the wells having been slopped about two hours before the fire broke out. The soldiery, instead of keepiaig order and assisting to save the endangered pro- Periy, employed themselves in indiscriminative plunder; and when the President Boyer arrived from the country, he immediately withdrew the troops, and established order, by leaving the city to its fate. That the fire WAS the wools of incendiaries there cannot be a doubt ; fur since Omit dreadful day, several attempts have been made toll re the town. 'rile day before the confitgration there wet atvattempt made to lire the 4111V11:11 ; where several millians of pontos of gunpowder, and immense quantities of projectiles ate stored; and hail it not been prevented by a fortunate accident, the whole city would probably have been blown top. Almost all the retail stores are CIIII- Ntorneil, At least 2,31'0,000 of this loss will fall to the share of foreign uaerchants ; and those particularly who were extensively engaged in the trade of this country must sutler dreadfully. As far as we can judge, the whole originated in a plot of the black people against those of colour; and we are still apprehensive that all is not over. The whites are on their guard at this time, determined to sell their lives dearly, should any attempts be made against them." FROM TUESDAY NIGII2"S GAZETTE. BANKRUPTCY ENLARGED. E.

AGRICULTURAL ItHFORT FOR SEPTEMBER..—The gmeral samples of new wneat has hitherto atibrded so few aline quality, that prime ones both of white and red fit fur seed, are eagerly bought up.

The following article is copied from the Ali:cella- Nees, a Madrid paper, of the Ilth of September. It is headed, " On the trial of the Queen of Eng land :" " This day we take up the pen, not to transfer to paper, as we daily do, ideas on this or that point of politics or economy. We are compelled to write by the necessity which we feel, of render ing a solemn homage to the eternal principles of public morality, indignantly set aside in the abominable trial which is prosecuting before the Peels of England. 6 ' It is well known to all, that there arrived lately in England a cargo of the lowest filth of Italy, brought together to stain, • with die vilest declarations, the honour of an illustrious Princess. It is well known likewise to all, that before the commencement of the trial, several days were spent in attempting, if powrible, to prevent it by negotiation, and thus to enable the English minis try to present the shame with which the indecent trial of the Queen was going to cover that great nation. Finally, it was known to all that the obstinacy of the ministry rendered useless the excellent disposition to accommodation, evinced by that unfortunate Princes*, and that at last a prosecution began, the scandalous tenour of which excites the most melancholy consider ations, and shows to what an extreme of degradation corrupt men will be wiled by their own selfishness. " The first witness who was examined in this opprobrious cause is 14 wretch called Theodori Majochi ; this iniainous creature, who lived fur a considerable time with die Queen in the character of lacquey, while she resided in Italy, and who followed her in her travels to Constantinople and Palestine, declared, in contOr why with some insidious questions, that.his mistress passed, during the night, into the room of Bergami (likewise a servant of the Princess); that in the bed of this person there was the ap pearance of two having slept, while that of the Queen did not appear to have been used at all ; that Bergami sated her when she bathed ; and that on one occasion he gave liar a kiss, with other indecencies which we cannot mention. The interrogatory by the Attorney General being concluded, the Queen's Advocate subjected the witness to an examination, which, by questions suf ticient to confound him, and tuake him fall dead with shame, if his soul, sank in the lowest filth of debasement, had been capable of that sentiment, made him retract many particulars winch he had stated, and entrench himself within his studied and uniform • Non nil rieorde.' That discovered the caution which he employed to earn the unworthy recompense which had been promised him for his filthy calumnies. " The witnesses Cayetano Paturzo, Vicente Barguilo, Pedro • Puchi, and Barbara Krese, lacquies, sailors, or waiters, (since the English ministry has taken care to employ that low rabble-to hatch evidence against the Queen,) relate particulars more or lees filthy; but so al,surd, improbable, and contradictory, that after having been heard they ought to have been iinprisoneids that they might suffix in due time the punishment which their perjuries deserved. Up to the present time, only two respectable men, Capt. Pcchell, of the frigate Clot hide, and Capt. Briggs, of the ship Leeiathen, have been examined in these proeeedinga— These twe otlicers have deposed to nothing whioh tun compromise the honour of the Queen. and the testimony of two Englishmen of distinction is of more value, doubtless, than that of all the lac quies arid waiters who live between the Lake of Geneva and the extremity of Calabria. tVe must not omit that, from the decla rations of these bribed witnesses, it appears, first, that they have conic on a bargain of so much. per month, and there is one of them who eat ns i,OOO dollars per month. Secondly, that a de claration was taken from all of them in Milan by a spy of the English Ministry, called Brown. Thirdly, that some of them said they were driven by force to England. Fourthly, that on their arriving there they were instructed in what they had to answer; these interrogatories were put to them, from which in the public examination in the House of Peers, those points were left out, the answers to which would not have been favourable to the projects of Ministers. Fifthly and finally, that one of the witnesses had travelled post, in order to be catechised, from Italy to Germany, and from Germany to Hungary, and that he after wards lived a long while with die English ambassador at Vienna, kept and caressed for this important omeiion. " From these facts, which the trial has disclosed, it appears that, in order to afford to England the most scandalous spectacle which it has seen since the death of Ann Boleyn .Menieters have squandered with oriental profusion the treasures of that genero us nation on abject and vile Italians, who have made a horrible traffic of their filthy calumnies. It appears likewise, that the fruit which the English ministry will derive from having lavished in the pay of these vile creatures such immense sums—the pri ce of the sweat of British subjects—will be the ignominy oh ' having injured their Queen in public . opinion, whether Abe shall be declared guilty or whether, as 1. to be hoped. they declare her innocent; in which case the character of the Princess must still suffer. because it is the property of calumny always to leave some indelible vestiges. On both of these suppositions the English Ministry will _cover itself with eternal disgrace, which will be much greater if it causes its Queen to be condemned on the tes timony of infamous and suborned witnesses, shown to be so by the deposition of themselves; for the indemnity of hoou dollars per month is a real subornation ; and for such a sum Italy might have been depopulated of half its inhabitants, who would heve gone to the cad of the woad, to vouch as many calumnies as might be dictated to them. We shall add, that the evident intention of the ministry is to detaire the QUeell Of the respect and regard of the English ua • lion ; and that with that intention it has allowed the evidence to be published in which corrupt and shameless Italians have dc poets' to scandals and abominations, which, for th e preservation of public morals, ought to have been buried within the precincts of me court. The precaution which, when causes of this kind arc proceeding, is taken in all civilized countries, in order not to °trend the ears of youth, has been disdained in a which. from the exalted button of the person aecusod, must sesound not only in all the corners of E 'trope, but to the most remote extremities of the globe. To such a degree does die spirit of party wake titian disregard Vee common rules of mo rahty, and fel in the ropsct dtie to the public ! We shall add. in conchedoti, that the English nation has conducted itself' in such deplorable eircutustanetw in a 'meanie the most noble: all he cities hasten to manifest to the Qtecit the indigaation which the covituct of the ministry excites ; and the immense population London, which forms perhaps a tenth part of. the British olinions in Europe, gives her every day Ute most eager roots of m interest which they take in her lot." An Edinburgh Paper says—" Since grouse shoot ing commenced, mAny eases full of game have passed through this ;it., sallvssed to Her Majesty the Queen, 1 .ondon: " A letter from C.u•low contains the following re markable sent.ince—" Our country is now groaning under the weight of Go,l's goodnoss to us; the corn is so abundant, it is gonerally believed, that there will not be moue• to purchase halt of it, nor storage to contain it."
