An unfortunate accident occur'', d on Tuesday in
the New-road. As Mr. Bellasis, son of the late
Dr. Bellasis, of &Widen, Berks, was crossing the
road near the Small Pox Hospital, he was knocked
down by the pole of a carriage which was passing,
and before the coachman had time to draw up his
horses, the fore wheel of the carriage had passed
over his neck : he was immediately taken up and
carried home, but the vital spark was extinct.
Attempted Murder, Arson, and Swieide..--Tucs-

lodgedin a Louse in Mill Pond-street, Dock-head,
attempted to murder his wife by battering her head.
most dreadfully. he poor woman was sent to the

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.

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

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

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.

'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

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.

THE ITALL4N.S.

DRURY-LANS THKATRE.—So great is the scarcity of
dramatic genius in the present day, that the a iiiiii miation
of • new Play seldom excites any considerable portion of
anxiety. In the Augustan age of English literature. surds
an event generally iittracted the attention not truly of the
wits and sehulars, but even of the well informed part of
the public at large, end indeed it was uatioral that those
who had once berm delighted with Ilse apt ighily sallies of
Pat qnliar and Corigreve, should hail with please' es a sig-
nal, which promised new streams of enjoyment from
springs already tasted ; but in recent timer, so Irv, good
Plays have been produced, that our expectations are ne-
ver raised very high, nor do we often enjoy the agreeable
ant wise of finding II:e Piece better than we expected.

so, is briefly that ififoxsa,b.ing of Naples, by the lirrkiiied

nobleman of gre.it influence, it ileeeiv ed into the belief of
his treasoualile intentions. Tuts deception oi iginates
with Manfredi (another nobleman jealous of Fonfaiso's vir-
tues, and mortified at the refuted of lute datightet, whom
lie demanded in mart iage) and Claudia, the mistress of
„dy'onsa, whose inveterate bate is raised by the son aid
tefusal of the love she hail proffered to Fulitinsu. Udder
this undeserved displeasure of his Soverei!iii, elininnu is
deprived of his sight by a ehearical powder winch is
thrown into his eyes by Manfredi, and is then consigned to
the cote a a peasant boy, beipio, as his guide. Albania,
another nobleman, hes been h.uushrd (Imo Naples under
the suspicion of 'made' ilia his own wife, who had, in fact,
been pingnarded by Manfreai; and this gentleman talks
a great deal in the style ut a iii iii or Cerinianus. There is
an under or love plot between Angelo and Angelina; of
the former's ancestors nothing is said, and lie *het city es-
capes the charge of degeneration, for certainly a flatter
lover cannot be' found; of the latter (the daughter of
Fontatte), we can only say, that it' any merit belong to the
character, it lutist °tight:tie in the actors* who with
" Genius which, the Poet left behind,
Creates an excellence it did not find."
In the last Act the King is issitleceived, and conseqnent-
ly embraces Foliate°, Manfredi is killed by
who arum wards despatches himself, and we suppose the

hive's are to be made happy.
Such is the plot, and as to the arrangement and language,
we have not been able to discover any beauty in the poetry,
Yet the :Luther has excitedsome interest in the foie of 4 Thank,
and arranged the plot in such a manner us to keep Wive that
concern until the conclusion of the Piece: the wounded feel-
ings of u noble heart smarting under a sense of unmerited
infamy, and goaded into partial imunity by long continued
misery, are tolerably described; several of the incidents are
well calculated for stage effect, but there is no originality of
character it we except the youth Scipio an iumrovisatore,
who is welbilieve the tint of theseeztemporaneeudipoets that
has been exhibited to a British audience, and it must be con-
fes,ed that It 5 poetical effusions, and 114 attentive kindness
to the wilt:sity Fontana are likely to procure for him a
favourable reception. 'ln the 4th Act some generous senti-
ments of patriotism are uttered by Fontano. 1 here is nuthiog
remarkable in the female characters.
Of the cao Mg of the Play it would be cruelty to say any
thing—the Theatre groans under such a poi/city of talent
that the Manager ;eight not be to blame, but certainly the
public voice was too uneqnivocally espres.ed 'open Mr.
Henry Kemble's anbject last night, to permit his father's
thrusting I • uny more, to the ruin of the Theatre, limbo
the first bovines'.
Justice demands oar enloay of Mr. Rar—hati his eaist•
eiii e depended on the 'success of the Puree, hue
could
nut have dune mute; his part is heavy and bad, but
he
worked through it t heroically. At the coneltiviou el
the Play a tremendous row took place, which appeared to
be is its smith when ae left the house, at past l I o'cloca ;
but we believe the Tragedy will be withdrawn—we aie
sine it ought to be so in deference to the public opintan.
For Mr. Kean it it It must fortunate circumstance that tile
Play is what it is—had ii heels better ne feel convinced that
his conduct, inflated as he is by ephemeral popularity,
would have beets the !LIM', and that part al the public w ha
are " pleased they know ant o by amid care nut a herefore,"
will find his excuse in the mediocrity of the Tragedy ; this
Is not even a palliation in our estimation. The play once
having been *rc' pled, WE must protest, on the part of the
Public, ageing sissy servant of the Theatre interposing his
individual voice, aided by bis arrogance of opiemon, on a
subject to which perhaps Ws judgment wns practically less
competent than it would have been on a Pantomime. We
would in perfect friendship remind Mr. Kean that lie stands
on a pinnam le, a Melt he has reached with unequalled rapi-
dity, and that below him Is an abyss to which a very trifle
may consign him fur ever.

year 1819, in Frame, is 37,000,000/. iticluding all
caarges-,-the public dela, sinking fund, and support
o'. the clergy. Now, assuming the population to be
Yit,ouo,uoo, aid the number of houses, 6,000,000,
the tixatioii upoll every 111.1 n, wontan, and cild, will
lie *l7 shillings, and upon every housekeeperh tit The
sum demanded in England for the sets ice of the year,
will piohably hr ll;i,000,0001. which, supposing the
poptil 101 l 01. the Cooed Kingdom to be b,004.4000,
and the number of linuse, 6,cu0,00u, produces taxation
to the amount of 41. tor. upon every man, woman,
