Navy UM Loug THE NATIONAL REGISTER. °noon. MONDAY, APRIL 5, 1819. Friday a Flandcts mail arrived, bringing papers to Wednesday last. They announce that the Con eordat, so long nego;:iating with the Holy See, has been concluded; that in consequence several Bishop rics are about to be established in different parts of the Netherlands ; and also, that the dispute with the Prince Broglio, late Bishop of Ghent, has been arranged. The refractory Prelate, it is hoped, will manifest a better temper in future. It however appears at this precise time that the Bishop's pam phlet in defence of himself has been seized by the Judicial Authorities. Letters from Rome abound with complaints of the Carbonari in the Italian States, whose object is affirmed to be nothing short of a revolution in morals and politics. There is certainly room for much improvement 'n both. The Dutch merchants complain heavily of the depreda tions committed on their vein Is and cargoes by the south American pirates. Poulot, alias La Croix, accused of an attempt to excite civil commotion. has been removed to the prison where his associates arc confined, passions to their trial, which is expected to come on at the next Assize. These papers say, the transports fir the Cadiz Expedition begin to enter t:.at port, and more arc expeeted from England, France, anti Catalonia. The rumour contained in flat, former papers from F:alice, relative to the assassination of Al. de Kot r,o‘ue, is cuanrmcd by the present arrivals. The particulars of this murder arc detailed under the usual head. We certainly du not much admire M. Augustus Von Kotzebue, in his character of dra matist, moralist, or philosopher : we think that his philosophy and morality are full of false principles, and his plays overrun with meretricious attractions. But it scents, that neither his taste nor his morals were the cause of his untimely and pitiable end ; he was butchered, they say, for his political opinions respecting the state of Germany, which tended to stress the zeal for universal change, w: ich preli m. sta. at this meatcnt r.creng the C‘..ratan people. TrrE NATIONAL REGISTER. The unfortunate writer fella victim to that unsound and depraved enthusiasm, against which it was the purpose of his later works to warn the Sovereigns who employed him. He had alarmed the jealousy of those who called themselves patriots throughout the German States. A student of Wurtzburg tra velled to Manheim, sought an interview with M. Kotzebue, whom he stabbed to the heart; and, walking quietly into the street, wounded himself des perately with the same claimer, having first thanked God upon his knees ► for the success of his treache rous and inhuman enterprise. Oh Germany, if these be thy patriots, Heaven protect thee from the blessings of a political reformation ! New York papers to the 10th ult. arrived on Thursday. The Congeal closed its Session on the Sd of last month, as its Sittings could not extend beyond that period, confbrrnably with the Constitu tion. There was, however, much important busi ness transacted. There is a very lung and well digested Report of the Senate in these papers, upon the conduct of General Jackson and the Seminole War. It condemns den. Jackson fur having engaged in that war, and reprobates his savage, unmanly, and ferocious conduct, in condemaing Arbuthnot and Ambrister. This Despot in the field stands censured also by the (louse of Representatives; but as he has been lauded by some dozen of inhuman itizens, at a public entertainment given him at New York, he considers himself in some degree purified by their worthless approbation, and the majority of the House of Representatives, who de clined confirming the opinion of an enlightened, a respectable and humane Committee, who had very justly reprobated his conduct. In reviewing the execution of Arbuthnot and Ambrister, the Com mittee observe, " that, as prisoners of war, they were entitled to claim from the American Govern. ment that protection which the most savage of our foes have uniformly experienced, when disarmed and in our power. Humanity shudders at the idea of a cold blooded execution of prisoners, disarmed, and in the power of the conqueror."—" The prin ciple assumed by the Commanding General, that Arbuthnot and Ambrister, by uniting in war against the United States, while we were at peace with Great Britain, became outlaws and pirates, and liable to suffer death,' is not recognised in any code of national law." The precedent would reflect discredit upon the most barbarous nation ; and in case of another war, Jackson should be considered as an outlaw, and nut entitled even to the protec tion ache laws of war, inasmuch as be has violated the law of nations and (IC humanity. This blaster. in;; swaggerer, it is probable, has not sufficient sen sibility to feel the reprobation col:l:tined in the Re port of the Committee, but imagines it has been extinguished by the Barth:inn:than shouts and savage yells with which he was saluted at the New York banquet, where the company should have pledged themselves in bhxxl, drank from goblets made of the skulls of his hapless victims. , - The Ga:etie de France of Saturday last announ. ces the advanced pregnancy of the Duchess of Berry. The Persian Amba , sador, who is appointed to the British Court, is daily expected in this country from Paris, where he is treated with ex traordinary distinction. The imped.ments to his introduction to the King of France, it would appear, have been removcd, as Tuesday was fixed for his Majesty to give him audience in the Gallery of Diana, where great preparations have been made to give the ceremony due tffect. The Senate of numburgli still continues its pro hibition in that city, against all attempts to raise frees for the Itakpecalcnt cause in South America. .` -• , ,:,:s tit a n Frankfort notice a report of a natnt aces acting between thc Curt eflierlin and Besse APRIL 5. Cassel, in consequence of the latter refusing to conform to the arrangements respecting the Army of the Confederation. The capital sentences of Bach and the woman Bancal, convicted of having been implicated in the murder of M. Follicles, have been commuted. Bach is to be imprisonA twenty years, and Bancal is to be branded and kept to har.l labour fin. life.—The French 5 per cents. were on tLe 26th, 65fr. S c. Bank Stock 1545 fr. The Commander in Chief has notified to the Army that on Friday the full mourning for the Queen will be discontinued; but that the Officers will continue to wear, with their uniforms, a black crape round their left arm till the 2d of June, when the mourning will cease altogether. The accouchement of the Duchess of Cambridge is hourly expected; that of the Duchess of Clarence this month; the Duchess of Kent in May; and the Duchess of Cumberland in June. It is rather ex traordinary that the accouchement of all the Royal Duchesses will take place on the Continent. The l'rince and Princess Royal of the Netherlands intend, it is said, next month to pay a visit to St. Petersburgli. Lord 'idmouth is better, and will soon be able to attend to his official functions. A fine monument, to the memory of the late Princes Charlotte, is about to be erected at Ply mouth, in a new square just laid out. On Tuesday, about two o'clock, the Algerine Ambassador, attended by M r. Salamne, his Secretary, was introduced to Earl Bathurst, the Secretary of State fur the Colonial Department, at the Colonial.. office in Downing-street. The interview only lasted about ten minutes. His Excellency appears to be 60 years of age; but it is said he is not so old. He is very thin, and has the appearance of an European. He wore a turban, a brown robe or mantle em broidered with gold, red trowscrs, white silk stoch ings, and morocco slippers. Mr. Salamne, his Secre tary, has been in England some years ; he accom pimied Viscount Exmouth in the expedition against Algiers as an interpreter. On Wednesday Mr. Canning gave the Cabinet dinner, at his residence, Glocester•lodge. The list of the subscriptions at Calcutta, for the Waterloo fund, is at last received. The amount i; 231,500 sicca rupees, about 30,000/. sterling, and is highly honourable to our countrymen in Bengal The Marquis of Hastings opened the subscription slit 2.000 rupees; his examples was followed by many of the principals of the colony, 1,000 rupees each. By the Madrid Gazette of the 15th of 31arch, we perceive that Ferdinand the 7th has been pay ing the best homage that can be paid to the memory of his Queen, by visiting one of the Institutions of which she was a munificent patroness, for the edu cation .of _children of both sexes, and in which 1 70 girls and 200 boys arc instructed in all branches of useful education, and in the principles of moral and religious control. The Kings after a long and minute inspection, took his leave, first making is handsome contribution, and promising, with much emotion, in the name of God and his Queen, to be . a constant protector of the establishment. The President has laid bethre Congress the Re port of the Secretary of State, concerning the ap plications made by persons requesting to be ac credited as Consuls on behalf of the Independent. Governments of South America, by the Govetument of the United States. These applications, it appear, have been received with u degree of caution that argues a reluctance on the part of the Government to finally commit itself while the result of the great contest now carrying on in South America remains uncertain. The report admits that Consuls are re ceived by the Government of the United States front acknowledged Sovereign Powers with whew they have no treaty, but, on the authority of Vaud, it adds, that the appointment cannot be carried fully into eflect without recognizing the authority of tl,c Sovereign from whom it proceeds. A gencial c:mvass funk place on Thur:.d•y, in the borough of Penryn, for the vacant scat in Parlia ment. Mr. Swann, burp rted by his friend:, for John Shand, Esq. and .`.lr. James Hughes Ander. dun, tor his brother, Mr. John Andenlms. The Committee appointed to consider of the Peti tions thr and against the continuance of the Insol vent Debtors' Act, sit daily, and arc indefatigable in their investigation on the subject. Their report will, no doubt, contain much curious matter. Ihe disclosures of the corrupt transactions in certain Boroughs have made a very strung impression on the minds of those who were even inimical to any sort of Parliamentary Iteti.rin. It is now admitted by all, that such corruption should be rooted out of the body politic, befiire thy laLter falls a victim to the wide spoiling disease.
