TITE NATIONAL REGISTER.

The matters, wet in dispate exactly, bat in uncer-
I tainty, and which were left tint arrancna..nt between
this country and Amerie., at the tonebasion of the
late war, arc said to have been, the greater number of
of them, happily settled by the Commis.ioners appointed
for that purpose on onr part, and Mr. Gallatin on the
other, before that gentleman vit:ed kini;lund. The
boundary, which was lei unsettled in the treaty at the
end of the revolutionary war, is now accurately fixed.
This, if true, is a great point. The right of fishing,
and drying ti-h, on the coasts of Newfoundland, is
clearly defined ; and the terms of intercourse between
our West India Islands and the vessels of the United
States are specified and agreed on. These also are mat-
ters of considerable weight ; but the greatest difficulty
remains behind, and it is probably fin. this reason, that
it is the greatest, that it so remains ;—the right of visi-
tation, and the power of apprehending the seamen of
each country, when found on board the ships of the
other, is still unsettled. We arc said to have made
propositions on tire subject, which it is understood that
Mr. Gallatin wislitst to refer to his Government.• We
'recollect, that at thf time when this point was discussed,
with less aotieable (tidings than at present, the Ameri-
can journals boasted, that it' we would but listen to
reason, their Government could strike out propositions
so satisfactory and so capable of effecting their object,
that we could not but accede to them. Now, there
fore let the 'propositions be brought forward. We con-
fess that, as we are at peace with America, we would
wish to be so wholly and sincerely.
The Treaty, whatever it may be, that i 3 concluded,
will not, we suppose, be made public till the ratifica-
tions are exchanged.
It is reported, that upon the breaking up of the Con-
gress, the Allied Sovereigns will publish a joint Decla-
ration or Manifesto, in which they will express to all
Europe their anxious desire and determination to omit
nothing in their power to render the general peace so
happily re-establisbed secure, permanent, and pros-
perous.
The Ministers of the Allied Sovereigns, it appears,
have deliberated on the propriety of holding a Congress
once in three years, fur a general settlement of conflict-
ing interests : and the proposal is one which has met
with considerable approbation.
An article from Strasburg dues homage to the steady
discipline of the foreign troops quartered in that neigh-
bourhood, and to the mild and judicious conduct of their
officers during the whole period of their service within
the French frontier.

The anniversary of the battle of Leipsic was ob-
served at Aix-la-Chapelle by the Allied Sovereigns and
their suites with as great pomp and festivity as the
confined nature of the imperial city, and the limited
materiel of show, parade and amusement, could admit.
In the morning there was a grand review of the little
army of horse, foot-guards, and artillery, which com-
poses the garrison, attended by their Imperial Majesties
of Russia and Austria, and the King of Prussia, the
Grand Dukes Constantine and Michael, the Prince of
Orange, the Prince of Mecklenberg, the Duke of Wel-
lington, several Russian and other Princes, and a great
body of General Officers attached to the suites of the
Monarchs: the Princess of Tour and Taxis, the King
of Prussia's sister-in-law, was likewise on the field,
with several other ladies of distinction. The review
began about nine o'clock. As the day was fine, and a
Sunday, great crowds flocked to witness the spectacle;
and the little army being exercised on ground broken
into small fields by hedges, rows of trees, and banks of
brushwood, seemed to increase in numbers by the dif-
ferent points of view from which it could be seen.—
After performing several mancaavres, it defiled before
the Sovereigns into a close or field, hemmed in on one
side by a range of trees, where the infantry drew up in
a hollow square. The Sovereigns and their suites, who
had dismounted outside of the field, took their station
in the middle of the square, on foot, and with their
heads uncovered; and the clergyman, after reading
prayers and joining in the Te lkum, chaunted by a
band of young singers. delivered an address to the
brilliant assemblage, and offered up a prayer to Heaven,
suited to the occasion of the anniversary which the
festival was intended to commemorate. When the
service was concluded, the troops raised a huzza, and
the cannon stationed at r little distance fired several
-rounds. .It was remarked at the review, that the Duke
of Wellington was generally by the side of the Empe-
ror Alexander, and enjoyed the greatest share of his
conversation.
On Thursday the National Society for the Education
of the Poor in the principles of the Established Church,
held a meeting at St. Martin's Vestry-min, the Lord
Bishop of London in the chair. Seventeen fresh schools
were united to the society, and several grants of money
from 201. to 1001. each, were made, towards the erecting,
enlarging, or fitting up of school rooms. His Royal
Highness the Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg has pre-
sented a donation of 1001. to the National Society.—
His Royal t ligliness has also signified his intention of
accepting the office of steward at the next anniversary
meeting in St. Paul's Cathedral, fur the benefit of the
Sons of she Clergy.

`Her Nlaje.:l7 'a disordet; we regret to say, appear:4o
be resuming most of its former distressing gymptomq--
liiiiippetzte luis almost entirely left her again ; the
cough, and sense of pain on the side. are very trou'')le•
some, and render the Royal Patient extremely restless ;
whilst at the same time, the slightest motion has a ten-
denry to produce these alarming spasms, on the supe-
rior viscera, which have heretofore threatened her speedy
di4ointion.

Hcr Majesty has suffered so much for the last three
dilys, and the exhaustion arising from the want of sleep
is so great, that the most serious apprehensions are en-
tertained of her approaching demise. She has more
than once miraculously recovered from symptoms almost
threateningals as the present; but it is obvious that
each return of the malady iegiccompanied by increased
weakness, and consequently the case becomes more hope-
less. It is reported that Ministers have resolved, on
the demise of her Majesty, to propose to Parliament a
greatly diminished establishment for the King, at
Windsor ; and to entrust the care of his person to the
Duke of York, who will have an additional allowance
to bisincome for this service.

'fhe Prince Regent arrived from Brighton on Fri-
day at six o'clock, accompanied by Sir Benjamin Bloom-
field, and after receiving the evening report of the
Physicians, his Royal Highness remained to dinner with
the Princesses.

The Duke of York also visited the Palace, in the
course of the day, but neither the Prince Regent nor
the Royal Duke saw her Majesty. She was too much •
exhausted to receive them.

It is stated in the Jamaica Gazettes received to the
sth ult., that the island was perfectly healthy np to
the above period: but we learn from a paragraph in
one of them, that at Surinam an epidemic prevailed,
which had swept off a considerable number of indivi-
duals. Many of the Dutch died in four or five hours
after they were first seized with it.
The States General of the Netherlands were opened
on the lgth inst. with a long speech from the King in
person. His Majesty speaks with apparent satisfaction
of the late decision relative to the allied troops in France.
He paints in cheerful and flattering colours the internal
state of the kingdom, and expresses his confidence in
the success of certain measures which he hints at, for
equalizing the public receipt with the expenditure.
We stated a few weeks ago, that the celebrated
Abraham Thornton had arrived in this town for the.
purpose of emigrating to the United States. He has
experienced more difficulty than he had anticipated in
getting a passage thither. It appears that he had en-
gaged one in the Independence, but when the other
«ng►ers became acquainted with his name and cha-
racter, they unanimously refused to go in the satne
vessel with him ; and a new muster-roll was in conse-
quence made out, in which his name was omitted.—
Liverpool Courier.
A misunderstanding has arisen between Miss Ste•
phens and the Manager of the Cork Theatre. Miss
Stephens' salary there is thirty-five pounds per night
for her services. For this liberal bum, the manager
considers that she is bound to sing in afterpieces as
well as in full operas, when he shall require it, as she
did in Dublin. The Lady conceives her engagement
to be different; as in Dublin, in alition to the above
nightly sum, she received a certain share of the money
taken at the doors. By mutual consen•, fifteen pounds
of the thirty-five is nightly lodged in the hands of a
trustee until a legal opinion can be taken upon her
engagement, to which both parties have agreed to
submit.

A survey has been made of the barracks along the
coast of Kent, Sussex, and Hampshire, fir the pur-
pose of ascertaining their state for the accommodation
of troops. The regiments quartered in these districts
will thereft)re be removed, in order that the army re-
turning from France may be quartered in the n•ari.
time counties, in preference to marching the regiments
into the interior. The 9th Lancer and the 35th re.
giment of foot, now occupping our barracks, are ex.
pected to be removed.
