THE NATIONAL REGISTER. Friday a Flanders mail arrived, bringing papers to Wednesday lust. They announce that the Con cordat, so long neg,oriating 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 Broglie, late Bishop of Ghent, has been arranged. The refractory Prelate, it is hoped, will manifest a better temper in future. It however appears ut 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 murals and politics. There is certainly room for much improvement in both. The Dutch merchants complain heavily of the depreda tions committed on their vest' , is and cargoes by the :iot.th American pirates. Poulot, alias La Croix, accused of en attempt to excite civil commotion, has been removed to the prison where his associates Are confined, previous to their trial, which is expected to come on at the next Assize. These papers say, the transports fur the Cadiz Expedition begin to enter tha port, nod More are expected from England, France, and Catahntia. The rumour contaioed . in the former paperkfrom France, relative to the totsassioation of M. Ile Ket reline, is confirmed by the preseat arrivals. The particulars of , this soorder are detailed wader the . usual bead. We certainly do not much admire M.. tAngustos Von Kouryline, in his character of tba anatist,' meralist, or philosopher' we think that his piAilteaphy anti morality ire frill of false prioeiples, and his plays overnur with meretricious attractions. 'Da it seems, that tteitbir: his taste nor hill mortis ivere the caurcof his untnoely and pitiable end; he. vca:i butchered, they at:;, fur his political opinions respecting the state - of Germany, width tended to repress the zeal for universal change, wi ieli predo minates at this montent m3lO the C4E1444 icopte. ifIIE NATIONAL ittGISTUit. 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. Ile had alarmed the jealousy of those who called themselves patriots throughout the German States. A student of Wurtsburg tra velled to Mauheim, 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 dagger, having first thanked God upon his knees, fur 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 *formation ! New York papers to the 10th ult. arrived on Thursday. The Congress closed its Session on the 3d of last month, as its Sittings could not extend beyond that period, conformably with the Constitu tion. There was, however, much important busi ness transacted. There is a very long and well digested Report of the Senate in these papers, upon the conduct of General Jackson and the Seminole War. It condemns Gen. Jackson for having engaged in that war, and reprobates his savage, unmanly, and ferocious conduct, in condemning Arbuthnot and Ambrister. This Despot in the field stands censured also by tile House of Representatives; but as he has been lauded by some dozen of inhuman Citizens, at a public entertainment given him st 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, e 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 ease of another war, Jackson should be considered as an outlaw, and not entitled even to the protec tion of the laws of war, inasmuch as he has violated the law of nations and of humanity. This bluster. ing swaggerer, it is probable, has not sufficient sen sibility to feel the reprobation contained in the Re port of the Committee, but imagines it has been extinguished by the Bacchannalian shouts and savage yells with which he was saluted at the New York banquet, where the company should have pledged themselves in blood, drunk from goblets made of the skulls of his hapless victims. Th. Gazette de Fiance of Saturday last announ ces the advanced pregnancy of the Duchess of Berry. The Persian Ambassador, who is appointed to the British Court, is daily expected in this country from Paris, where he is treated with ex tra:rrdivary distinction. The impediments to his introdnetion so the King of France, it would appear, have been remover!, as Tuesday was fixed fur his Majesty to give him audience in the Gallery of Diana, where great preparations have been made to give the ceremony due effect. The Senate of Flamborgh still continues its pro hibition in that city, against all attempts to raise forces for the Independent cause in Soinh America. Accounts from Frankfort notice a report of a misun du-stand-9; between the Courts of Berlin and Besse ArkiL 4. Cassel, is conseque►tee of the latter refusing to conform to the arrangements respecting the army of the Confederation. The capital sentences of Bach and ti►e woman Bancal, convicted of having been implicated in the murder of M. Fanatics, have been commuted. Much is to be imprisoned twenty Years, and Bancal is to be branded and kept to h:►rd labour fiir life.—The French 5 per cents. were on the 26► h, t3sfr. 8 c. Bunk Stock 15:2.5 fr. The Commander in Chief has notified to the Army that on Friday the full mourning fir 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 241 of June, when the mourning will cease altogether. The accouchcment of the Duchess of Cambridge is hourly expected; that of the Duchess of Clarence this ntonth ; the Duchess of Kent in May; and the Ouches of Cumberland in June. It is rather ex traordinary that the accouchement of all the Royal Duchesses will take place on the Continent. The Prince and Princess Royal of the Netherlands intend, it is said, next month to pay a visit to St. . . Petersburgb. Lord sidmouth i 9 better, and will soon be able to attend to his official functions. A flue monument, to the memory of the late Prince's 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 NI 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 trowsers, white bilk stock ings, and morocco slippers. Mr. Salamne, his Secre tary, has been in England some years; he accom panied Viscount Exmouth in the expedition against Algiers as an interpreter. On iVednesday Mr. Canning gave the Cabinet dinner, at his residence, Glocestu•lodge. The list of the subscriptions at Calcutta, for the Waterloo fund, is at last received. The amount is 231,500 sicca rupees, about 30,0001 sterling, and is highly honourable to our countrymen in Bengal II:o Marquis of Hastings opened the subscription n ith 2.000 rupees ; his examples was followed by ma:ay of the principals of the colony, 1,000 rupees each. By the gadcid Gazette of the 15th of Nlarch, 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 szes, and in which 170 girls and 200 boys are instructed in all branches of useful education, and in the principles of m0.c.1 and religious control. The King, after a long and minute inspection, took his leave, first makivg a handsome contribution, and promising, with much emotion, in the name of God and his Queen, to be a consthat protector of the establishment. The President has laid before Congress the Re port of the Secretary of State, concerning the ap plications made by persons requesting to be ac credited as C•msuls on behalf of the Independent Governments of South America, by the Government of the United States. These applications, it appear!, have been received with u degree of caution th-tt argues a reluctance on the part of the Government to finally commit itself while the result of the gre,+t contest now carrying on in South America remaics uncertain. The report admits that Consuls are re ceived by the Government of the United States from acknowledged Sovereign Powers with whom tin.) , have no treaty, but, on the authority of Vattel, it adds, that the appointment cannot be carried fully into effect without recognizing the authority of the Sovereign front whom it proceeds. A general canvass took place on Thursday, in the borough of Penryn, for the vacant seat in Parlia ment; Mr. Swann, supported by his friends, for John Shand, Esq. and Mr. James Hughes Ander. 41:11, for his brother, Mr. John Anderdon. The Committee appointed to consider of the Peti tions for and against the continuance of the Insol ' vent Debtors' Act, sit daily, and are indefatigable in their investigation on the subject. Their report will, no doubt, contain much curious matter. '1 he disclosures of the corrupt transactions in certain Boroughs have made a very strong impression on the minds of those who wire even inimical to any wrt of Parliamentary Reform. It is nov admitted by' all, that such comption should be rooted out of the body politic, before the latter falls a victim to the wide spreading disease. 104
