THE DUCHESS OF BERRY.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Berry, whom
pregnancy we lately announced, had not left her
apartment during the last eight days. Yesterday
morning, about two o'clock, her Royal flightless
experienced the pains of child-birth. The intent-
genet was immediately conveyed to the Thuilleries.
Monsieur, Madame, and the Duke of Angouleme,
arrived at three o'clock at the Blyske Bourlinn,and
continued wills the Princess. About ex o'clock in
the morning, her Royal Highness brought into the
World a Prince, who, not having reached the time
prescribed by the laws of nature, lived but • few
instants. Her Royal Highness bad been pregnant
only five months.
Siam this melaoclio!y event, the following
tsulk-
tin has been published :-
0 Her Royal Highness ibe Dimling of Berry,havimr reach-
ed four usseths and • half of her pregsaoey, met with some
accidents which required bletdiag in the arms, sad the em-
ployment of various other meow. Nevertheless • from
maks took plum this sioesiag, at sit o'clock. The infant,
of the male set, lived seedy two boors. Her Royal High-
sees the Duchess of Berry's state is very satisfactory.

The King, at about • quarter after three o'clock,
paid a visit to the Duchess of Berry.
A very melancholy accident happened on Satur-
day at Chantilly. The Duke of Bourbon was
hunting the wild boar. The animal being very
closely pursued, attacked the Prince's hone and
gored it. The horse being terrified, reared and
threw the Prince. The fall was violent, but for-
tunately no member ass fractured. The Prince,
however, sustained • severe contusion on the head.
He was conveyed to the Palace, where he remained
five hours senseless. His Highness wus bled twice
in the course of the day, and in the night a blister
was applied to the bock of his head. On the
evening of Saturday the following bulletin was
published :

The Minister of Grace and Justice olficorlly an-
nounced on the 2,ih of August, to the Disc del

decree of his Majesty, by which, in declaring' that
the Queen bad entered on the fifth mouth of her
pregnancy, it is ordeied that public prayers should
be offered to heaven for this blessine. There will
be on this occasion is three das' festival at Court,
which will commence on the 30th of August.
Letters from Cadiz, of the 15111 of Aligner,
state, that the Count de l'Abisbal had arrived there

America. It is thought tli,d this Geikerdl will hive
under his orders from twelve to sixteen thousand
men, and that be will receive the nomination of
Viceroy, and Captain General of Deemer Ayres.
The expedition will consist of four ships of the hoe,
six frigistea;soine brigantines of war and gnu-bort..
They will set aril in the course of the next month,
or early in November. We are assured that Gene-
ral L',Abisbal has brought to Cadiz three ntilliotd
of real. 01,5001. sterl;sl4, which the King hill
given trout Ins private posse far the first expenses,
and measures are take.. to add all the funds
necessary. The Junta de lieeesplazos, of Cadiz,
which was instituted for the superintendence of
every thing relating to expeditions beyond era, has
resumed all its functions, the Minister of Finance
hating been commanded not to interfere with d.
Every thing announces a firm resolution to push
the war beyond sea very vigorously.
The Government has given orders at Ferrol to
equip a frigate and corvette, to pursue the Insurg-
ent cruisers who infest the Cantehriaii Sea. This
measure is somewhat late; for in the review:id
season the cruising station on the coasts of Bar-
bary is nut tenable, and it is prolsable that Vie
Corsairs will have withdrawn from it.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1818.

Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday have ar-
rived at our Office. The hopes entertained by the
Family of BOURBON, founded upon the union of
the Duke and Duchess of Butar, Juice union*.
nately been a second time disappointed. The
Duchess bad nearly completed the fifth month of
her pregnancy when the occurrence, Sc it is
al-
leged, of some unhappy accident, brought on a
premature confinement, and her Royal Iligliness
gave birth to a male child, who lived about too
hours. We fear this occurrence may be attended
with worse cousequences titan even the loss of the
infant, to whom the Duchess now gave birth, for,
if we mistake not, we believe medical men coo-
eider a fausse caliche as too frequently creating
clangevous disposition in the constitution to a repe-
tition of the accident. The friends to the !loose
of BouRBON need not, however, on that ac-
count, entertain any alarm fur the continuance of
the family. The Duke of ORLEANS bin several
children, who are well capable of upholding the
honours of their ancestors.

These Papers communicate a second occident is
the Royal Family, which was near proving fats) to
one of its members. The Duke of BOURBON br-
ing engaged in hunting a boar near Chantilly, NJ•,
in consequence of a sudden attack (ruin the
thrown from his hone, and remained for wow
hours in a state of insensibility. Hr sa.taitted a
severe contusion in his head, but escaped sithout
a fracture. The latest bulletins report favourably
of his situation.

Letters from Cadiz announce the arrival in did
city of General O'DoNust, (the Cigna de l'Aho.-
bat), for the purpose of taking the command of the
grand expedition destined for South America.
This General is dignified with the pompous Ole
•f Viceroy and Captain-General of Buenos Art''.
and we may thence form a probable cony dwell'
to the quarter for which this ;ricotta extieditioa
destined. The force said to be prevuting iu Cad.z
will, if truly stated, constitute a evly formid-
able armament. It consists of four si.ips of the
line, six frigates, and several tina!ler v•siels 41

We were enabled a short time since. by our pri-
vete sources of information, to present to the public
an account of the general conduct pursued by the
Deitch Authorities in Batavia, and the islands of
ifiellsiition Archipelago. The account was neces-
sarily of considerable nuttiest in this country, and
wasronsequently copied from The BRITISH Pease
other Dsily Papers. The article was seen
in Ike Times Newspaper by the Editors of the
Joaried tie Belgique, who transcribed it, and
undertook to answer it. They assert that they could
deny the allegations contained in it, at least so
far as they " contravene those principles of justice
which form the belie of the Goveroment of the
Netherlands;' and then argue, that, " 'opposing
the Mitch were desirous of regaining their ancient
prepoodersoce in the balance of Intlian commerce,
thio would be no reason to impute. to them arbi-
trary and vexatious acts with respectito their ancient
rivals." Although these remarks-;pre addressed
more directly to 71e Times, yet as the article thst
caused them' originated with us, we feel jurseires
required to take some notice of ilea

With respect to the capability mateled by the
Journal de la Belgique or contradicting oar state-
ments, to far as they contravene the general prin-
ciples of justice on which the Dutch Govenrsseut
is disposed to act, we may observe. that the prin-
ciples and intentions of a Government are no
assurer to the alleged misconduct of its of4cers in
a distant part of the world. We entertain the.
•liighest respect for the Government of the Ne-
therland', and certainly had ao intention of in-
culpating it, while we noticed the conduct of the
Dutch Authorities in the East ludic*; but while!
the particular facts we ad►anced remain uscontra.

dieted, we shall not consider the good character or,.
the Government at home as calculated to-conceal
or justify the improper exercise of its authority in
other parts of the world. The Journal de la Bel-
gique must be very simple, indeed, if it imagines
that any persons in this country could consider the
desire manifested by the Dutch to regain their an-
cient influence in the East, a reason for imput.
ing to them sisbittory end vexatious measures
towards the salqects of Great Britain. The
desire of the Dutch is very natural, and speaks
nothing more than a fair and honourable -rivalry ;
but it should not he punned by means incon-
sistent with this fair character. The wets we im-
puted to them were distinct and specific, and there
is no necessity of going nut of the way to inquire
why the charge was advanced, when the evident
rruson of it was nothing more than that such acts
bad been committed.
