THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

ple who seemed above the temptation of little attars or gew•
gaws, we cannot see much reason to wish for the adoption girt
plan that must throw all the seats of Parliament, (w ith very,
very few exceptions. in some districts where public spirit might
be less' inert,) into the hands of people so likely to be tempted,
and so unable to resist temptation : while men of indepenient,
but moderate property, who could pay a thousand a year for a
seat, but who could Hot sustain the exiiettee of popular elec-
tions, would be totally excluded : and not only these, but all
the men of talent, who are now brought is at no expense to
themselves, and who, having no money, could otherwise never
be brought in .1:t
In short, till sir Francis Burdett con alter the nature of eon-
Ntituent,,, and prevent them from accepting bribes, it seems very
improbable that Candidates, who arc eager for success, will
,•"fuse to give those bribes ; and it bribery is to be tolerated in
he people, it seems almost a joke to rail su loudly against cor-
ruption in the Parliament. " Private vices," says Mandeville,
" are public benefits ;" and we think we have clearly proved,
in spite of the Declaimers nho hold forth at the Crown and
Anchor, that the corruption of Parliament, like rotten manure,
while it offends the senses, enriches the soil.

FISHERIES.
Mn. ROSE, after adverting to the Bounties granted for the
encouragement of the Fisheries, said it was necessary to make
some alterations for the benefit of the Fisheries, which were of
the first importance to the country, as not less than 230,000 men
and their connections, including boat builders, &c. were em-
ployed in consequence of the British Fisheries. He therefore*
moved, " That 6/. per ton bounty be granted to the owners of
every vessel of not less than sixty tons burthen, employed in the
Fisheries of Ireland and Scotlaud ; and that 2s. bounty be
granted on every barrel of herrings caught in the British
Fisheries."--Which motions were agreed to, and the report
was ordered to be received on Monday.

STEALING ANCHORS AND CABLES.

porroß LAWRENCE said, as the House had been just en-
tged on the subject of the Fisheries, he now wished to call
its attention to the fishing for anchors and cables in the Goodwin
sands. These were in the first instances secret, and the marks
obliterated from the anchors, which were sold as old iron, and
the cables were disposed of as junk. It was true, great deli-
genre was used for the purpose of seizing them, but when
the Inspector went into the district where he had jurisdiction,
they were removed to another where he had none, and the Ma-
gistrates had not the power to interfere.—Men of great opu-
lence, and who held their heads high, trafficked in cables and
anchors, which was an encouragement to fellows at night to cut
the cables and let the vessels drift to sea, to the great peril of
the parties on hoard. The object of the Bill which he would
propose to bring in was, that all persons dealing in marine
stores should be obliged to give notice accordingly. The se-
cond object of his Bill was to prevent the obliterating the
;narks; and the third object was to extend the jurisdiction of
the inspectors, and to make an alteration with respect to the
salvage. The Hon. Member concluded by moving, " For
leave to bring in a Bill to prevent Frauds practised on Mer-
chants, Ship-Owners, and Underwriters, in the Cinque Ports,
by Boatmen and others, and for regulating Salvage."—Leave
was then given to bring in the Bill.

In a conversation across the table, it was understood, that the
-House should resolve itself into a Committee on Monday next,
on the Local Militia Bill, and that no other business should ia-
terpose to prevent it.
The House then proceeded to hear evidence in a Committee
on the Orders of Council, and afterwards adjourned.

BAYONNE, MAY 6.--Our newspapers contain the following
particulars respecting the journey and arrival of the Prince of
Peace:— •

" The Prince of Peace was, on his arrival, accompanied by
Colonel Monies, Aide-de-Camp of his Imperial Highness the
Grand Duke of Berg ; he appears to have suffered much during
his imprisonment. Not a day passed by during which petiom
did not come to hiF dungeon, and tell bim lie would soon he led
to the scaffold. When he was taken from prison, in order to be
delivered over to the officer who was to take hint to ilal. mote,
he had a long beard; during a whole month he had no clean ,hirt
be had no person to wait upon him. On the road, he tual ;'u•
conso:at ion of receiving a letter from King Charles I V. aml I he
Queen, full of testimonies of their affection. It is said, that on
the King's letter, there were the marks of his tears. When the
Prince received this, he said, See there, the only consolation I
have had this month ; every one abandoned me except my K :
the ungrateful, wham I had loaded with beuefits, did not dale•
to raise a voice in my favour. The Gardes du Corps, who sold

A letter has been received by the Mon. William Wellesley
Pole, from Mr. John K insman, commander of the Active Ex-
cise cutter, dated at Falmouth. the 19th inst. stating that on the
17th, he had captured in the said cutter, after a ehace of some
hours, the Deux Freres French privateer of St. Maloes, armed
vvith two carriage guns, and manned with twenty-nine men.

quer, resolved itself into a Committee, to consider of the resoltt-
tioni respecting the granting tummies in the public funds, to
persons not tn►der the age of 50. Mr. Wharton in the Chair.
The res.olutions were severally put and carried, and the re-

PROVINCIALS.

So great a change in the face of Nature within the last fortnight,
is perhaps scarcely within the recollection of any man living.
At the commencement of this beautifully recorded month, the
cold chilling blasts produced a cheerless prospect ; at present
every meadow is covered with a rich and beautiful verdure; the
fruit trees have burst into blossom ; and the corn lands, rendered
to all appearance sterile, by the severity of a long and dreary
winter, have assumed the most luxuriant and promising aspect of
a plenteous year.
The season sheers fine for large crops of grass, grain, and
fruit, &c. all over the country, particularly iu Berks, Bucks,
Oxfordshire, Rants, and adjoining counties, &c. There is one
very fine peach tree in full Worn, and the fruit all well set, in
a gentleman's garden at Colnbrooke, which last year produced
130 dozen of hue fruit, and by the gentleman's account of this
3ear's, is very likely to produce three times that quantity.
ItlottenicsTrit, MAY 9.5.—1 n consequence of the rejection of
the Bill fot fixing the minimum of wages, a very great agitation
has been excited amongst the weavers in this town and its vici-
nity. Yesterday and this day many thousands of them assembled
in a field near St. George's Church, by Newton-lane, and ap-
'whited delegates to attend the Magistrates with a statement of
their grievances, which they assert arose not so much from a
scarcity of employment, as fron► the unparalleled reduction
which the prices of their work have recently experienced; in-
somuch, that, after labouring for six days, at the rate of four-
teen or fifteen hours per day, they cannot possibly earn more'
than seven of eight shillings l'a pittance* which will not support
nature. Their employers, on the contrary►, insist that,. owing
to the stagnation of trade, they cannot aford to pay highe

POLITICAL DISQUISITION.
tr
NUMBER TWENTY-TWO.
ON THE CATHOLIC PETITION, AND ITS
RECEPTION.
The interesting and important claims of the Catholics,
have once again been brought before a British Parliament,
and by a British Parliament again rejected. As the reite-
ration of defeat, and the recurrence of circumstances that
render even future conquest hopeless, must necessarily
lead to the abandonment of the desired object, it seems
probable that the question of Catholic Emancipation will
not be again brought forward during the reign of his pre-
sent Majesty : and therefore we are desirous of recording,
in a work that professes itself to be a .National Register,
those sentiments which it has always been the pride of our
hearts to entertain, and which it will always be the endea-
vour of our humble powers to promote. If ever there
vvas a question of great, and we may almost say, universal
interest, it certainly is the question of Catholic Emancipa-
tion. The country divides itself into parties about a hun-
dred petty taxes, that if they were never heard of, would
never be felt, and agitates itself about the conduct of
Generals abroad, who are increasing or diminishing the
national influence without effecting one atom of good or
evil to the generality of the individuals that discuss that
conduct : but this is a matter that comes home to the bu-
siness, and to the bosoms of men : it addresses itself to
their domestic feelings : it involves the rights of promo-
tion, emolument, honour, character, freedom : it involves
every thing which is dear to all British subjects by nature,
and which is secured to some of them by law : it involves the
claims of four millions of men directly, and it involves the
interests of all England indirectly. Those who feel for
their own exclusion are concerned : and they 100 arc con-
cerned, who feel that the general security depends in great
measure on the protection of every part, who fed that
human nature is alike human nature on this or on the
other side of the. Irish channel, who acknowledge the birth-
right of British subjects, and arc willing to extend to their
brothers the privileges of their countrymen. Yet further,
it concerns those who, from a mistaken policy, an infuriated
bigotry, or a despicable servility, have been induced to
►levy the sacred claims of their fellow subjects s who have
assisted to perpetuate slavery in a land of freedom, to en-
, courage discontent at home while hostility surrounds us
abroad, to dictate to reason the course of religion, anti to
degrade the honour, faith, and lately spotless purity of
the British name. It is impossible for us to comprehend
:►ll that we would say in a single disquisition : but we hard-
ly think it necessary to apologize to our Readers for occu-
pying them more than once upon the theory of a question,
hick is but too likely to occupy them fur a very long time
in practice.

taken place in Spain, have occasioneda pretty considerable loss,
in comequence of an operation as inconceivable as it is painful,
of the division under Ceneral Dupont, your Majesty has notified
the resolution you have taken t.f asseinhlinz more than ton
hundred thousand men, beyond the Ps retires, without, however,
weakening either the armies in Gernelny, or that of Dalmatia.
For the attainment of this end, a levy of eighty ththisand men
appears to be indlspensible. Your 'Alajesty can only take these
eighty thousand from the four-rl:,s,,es of the conscription of the
years 18(16, 1807. 1508, and 1509.

" It is ascertained by the reAisters kept in my office, that in-
dependently of the men who have mat ried within these four
years, the conscription far these years might furnish six hun-
dred thousand. In taking from that number a levy of eighty
thousand men, your Majesty will have called out only one con-
script out of seen. and the vacancies in 11w armies will be filled
up with soldiers of 21, 22, and 23 years of age ; that is, with
men fit and prepared to undergo the fatigues of war.
" Nor as it escaped your 11.l.i.jesWs foresight, that such an
augmentation of force would neces-arily involve an increase of
expellee of several millions in the War Departelent. It is not
your Majesty's wish that I shoald detain your attention whit
that object in this report : your Finance Minister has taken
upon him to make good that charge, without in anywise In-
creasing the taws cstabli4ted by the last Inw.

" It—is true, Sire, that the custom ntPerved of late years,
might, to a certain degree, indure a part of 'our subjects to
consider themselves as released from the duty of the conscription
Prom the moment, that upon the total mass, they had furnished
time contingent required for the year; and under this point of
view, shat I propose to your ,11:ijesty, might appear to re-
quire from your subjects a sacrifice; hut, Sire, there is no one
but knows, that by the words of the law, your Majesty would

PROVINCIALS.

DREADFUL CATA STROPti E.—A boat-race for two silver
Cups, given by J. Templar, Esq. of Stover, near Teigumouth,
which were to be sailed for on Tuesday last, induced the Rev.
Mr. Buller, of Saltash, and Mr. Baker, of mouth, to become
candidates fur the first prize. Their two beautiful pleasure-
boats, from 10 to 15 tons burthen, accordingly started from this
harbour on Monday morning, In Mr. Buller's boat were—Mr.
Josias Thom-on, of Plymouth ; Mr. John Foster, of Saltash ;
his apprentice. ; and Mr. Buller's boy.—Mr. Baker's boat fol-
lowed. They had proceeded as far as the Bolt Head, when they
were overtaken by a most tremendous squall, accompanied with
heavy rain, which lasted nearly hall an hour. At this time Mr.
Buller's boat was near two miles a-head, and from the thickness
cif the storm, t ould not be discerned ; but on its subsiding, being
soli inyisible, Mr. Baker concluded she had borne away for
Saltcoinbe, as the wind continued to blow hard, with a prodi-
&ion,. swell. After keeping the same course for half an hour,
Mr. Barker determined to bear away also, and on nearing the
shore, fiaw something like crab-pot marks, but did not particu-
larly regard them, until a shriek was heard to proceed front
thence, when Mr. Buller Vk as seen with his bead above water,
Supported by a topiliaSt spar, which fortunately was in the boat
when she went down. Every exertion was now used in saving
I%lr. B. wlan was almost Lone, having been in that situation an
*An and an half. Oat being, carefully drawn on board, every
means were used to repelv that life (twice apparently gone),
which was at last effected. During this time, Mr. Forster's np-

LIFE

F
GENERAL JUNOT, DUKE D'ABII INTES,

Notwithstanding the frequent boast of originaNto of idea,
amongst both the actors in, and partizans of, the French Revo-
lution, yet the whole of their conduct has been marked by a
servile imitation either of the Romans, or of the f ranks ; as a
proof of this we need only advert to the assumption of Roman
appellatives in the first stages of equal liberty, and tile humble
imitation of Charlemagne by the present Republican Emprror.
If this imitation bad been really an imitation of their sirtues,
we would have been less offended at their more trifling child's
Pinot but when it is merely an assumption of name joined to
(feeds even more atrocious than the most horrid ravages of the
hordes of northern savage's who inundated Europe,—when we
see rank and distinction ussumed by those who have sprung from
the very lowest orders of society, and who have emerged from
their pristine obscurity merely from pre-eminence in villnitiy—
We would be prompted to close the page of history with detes-
tation and disgust, it it were not t:mt curio.fit4 is moo metro par-
totlarly awake, to contemplate the present rapid changes of
F^ene on the great theatre of Europe, and to eroptire into the
origin :111,1 merits of the diffrreut actors ; and as we may soon
expect the curtain to fall on this motley groupe, v. hen the names
and character: of all but a few of the arch fiend.: must sink into
the stream of oblivion. we have jodgel that an accurate poi trait
of General 3unot, with some authentic particulars of his life,
would not he unacceptable to our Readers. Many of the anec-
dotes have been collected on Cie Continent, and handed to us
through a source of undoatited authenticity and by particular
favour, the others are confirmed by a reference to the best his-
tories of the times.

C'ORONER'S INQUESTS.

Wednesday, A. Cell, Esq. Coroner for 11Iiddlezex, held an In-
quest at the Beitannia Wiuc Vaults, under the Piazza, Covent
Garden, on a view of twelve bodies dug out of the ruins of Co-
vent Garden Theatre. After the Jury had been sworn, they
proceeded to York-street, Covent Garden, to examine the body
of K. Davis, which lay at the house of a tradesman. They
then went to the Bone-house of St. Paul's, Covent Garden, where
the other bodies had been carried.

The bodies exhibited a shocking spectacle; many were burnt
black, others had their flesh scorched off, and one appeared in
situation too horrid to describe.

The first witness examined was Wm. Addicott, one of the
stage-carpenters of the Theatre.—lle stated that he left the
Theatre, about half past 11 o'clock and went home. About
four o'clock on Tuesday morning, Mr. Camiehael, a baker, rung
at his bell and informed him that the Theatre was on fire. He
immediately gat up and hastened to the Theatre, which he found
in a compleat blaze. Shortly after several engines arrived, and
hut few persons were collected on the spot. It was fouud im-
practicable to work the engine belonging to the Theatre at first.
The Treasury door and the Piazza door were broke open, and
oae of the Ploroi v fire engines was ran up the passage, just
withinside the Pizza door, where there was a large reservoir of
water; upwards of twelve persons were working the engine, and
just beyond theta, further up the passage, were several of the
firemen s seeing that the room called the Apollo room, and the
inside of the audience part of the Theatre was on fire, and like-
ly to fall in, the witness advised the men of their danger, observ-
ing, they must inevitably he burnt, as the fire was rapidly ap-
proaching the Garden.—Upon which the fireman told the Wit-
ness " to mind his own business." To avoid the danger the Wit-
ness instantly left the place and went round to the Bow-street
door ; from what he had since untb.r.aood, the tire, as it was
supposed, began about the centre of the house. He afe-rwards
Eras told several men had been killed by the falling of the tim-
bers, which happened shortly after he quitted the Piazza door.
This Witnets Awed, that there was a tratchmaa regularly Ap-
pointed to watch the interior of the Theatre, but when the alarm
was first giv4as, the people conld not make him hear, aatl it was
imagilici he tuna have falleu asleep ; he huts-ever afterwards
escaped.
