THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

The French Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday
have arrived. They announce the arrival in Paris of
M. Hyde De Neubille, his Majesty's Ambassador
to the United States of America. The bare fact is
mentioned without remark or comment, though a
rumour was circulated among the English Stock
Jobbers, that his return was occasioned by a mis.
understanding between the two countries. The
French Funds, which have risen since his return,
falsify the sinister report. of a rupture between
France and the United States. The Budget of
Ways and Means have beon adopted in the Chamber
of Deputies, by a majority of 139 against 6. The
Quotidienne says, " The Sieur Bartotorn° Bergami,
who makes so important a figure in the Bill of
Divorce and Degrcdation, translated yesterday in
our Journal, is at this moment in Paris: he fol-
lowed the Queen of England as far as Calais, but
has deemed it prudent to await in France the issue
of the trial, which, at this moment occupies the
three kingdoms." The Journal of the Eastern Py.
rennees, contains an afflicting account of the plague
at Majorca, which is now said to be the same as the
plague of the Levant. News from Palma mentions,
that the French Consul has brought from Tangiers
four persons who have been inoculated with pesti-
lential virus, and who, thus shielded from danger,
are to attend the sick and bury the dead. A cele.
brated physician, of the name of Pascual, is said to
have died of the plague. Letters from Barcelona
of the 10th instant say, that the pestilence con-
tinues its dreadful ravages : the numbers who fall
sacrifices to it daily increasing. The strictest pre-
cautions are taken to prevent it communicating to
the South of France. In the sitting of the Chamber
of Peers cn Tuesday, the debate upon the opening
of the project of the law of the Budget was fixed
for Friday, and five members were heard upon the
Resolution relative to the personal arrest of Peers,
after which the debate was adjourned to Thursday.
In the Chamber of Deputies a Petition was pre-
ferred to enable his Majesty, in particular cases, to
grant a dispensation to enable his brothers-in-law
and sisters-in-law to intermarry. A similar petition
had been frequently rejected. The present was got
rid of by the Order of the Day. The debate upon
the project of the law, relative to the Treaty with
the Dey of Algiers, was opened, and adjourned to
the next day. Baron Vincent, the Austrian Minis-
ter, had an audience of the King yesterday, to an-
nounce the marriage of the Archduke Beignier,
Viceroy of Venetian Lombardy, with the Princess
of Savoy Carignon.

The Algerincs have renewed their old system of
piracy, with a degree of audacity that ought to bring
down upon them the vengeance of the Maritime
Powers. They have sent a squadron of five vessels
to sea, to make war upon the commerce of all those
nations which are not represented at Algiers, and
whose cresentment, from their feebleness, they are
not afraid to provoke. The red fl tg of defiance was
flying when the piratical squadron sailed, which, it'
care is not taken, will disseminate the plague, as it
still raged at Algiers and Oran. The revenues of
the country not being equal to the wants of the Go
vcrnment, the barbarians endeavour to support the
matine, and to enrich the rapacious effacers of state,
and fill the coffers by means of piracy. I low long
will this disgrace to humanity and civilized Europe
be suffered to exist ?

Txs QussN.—The Newcastle-upon-Tyne Ad.
dress, signed by 6,000 persons, was on Friday
morning presented to the Queen. The following.
was her Majesty':, gracious Answer:—
" With great satisfaction I receive this Address from
his Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the inhabitants
of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and the vicinity,
" I accept with thanks, and return with sincerity, this
affectionate expression of yonr wishes towards myself,
and towards that Illustrious House from which I am de-
scended; and the true honour of which, as it never has•
been, so it never shall be tarnished by me.
" Whatever I possess of wisdom, courage, and mag-
nanimity, has been fostered and strengthened by the
esample of this discerning, generous, and gallant na-
tion, on whose unalterable attachment to the principles
of justice I firmly rely, ander Divine Providence, for
rapport under all unmerited afflictions, and fur protection
against the machinations and violence of all my ene-
mies,"

THE NEW TatioNz.—This superb and truly
magnificent production has been fully. completed.
The prominent feature is the ('hair of State; the
figure of its back is oval, deeply bordered with rich
carved tracery, or running scroll pattern, blended
with exquisite wreathing and foliage ; the breadth of
its bordering is about six inches, it is double gilt.
and highly burnished; the centre of the back,
which still preserves the oval shape, is plain dark
crimson velvet. On the centre of the back, where
the wreathings and foliage meet, is displayed in rich
appropriate carving, of a size corresponding with the •
dimensions of the chair, the Imperial Crown okbitse•
realms, richly gilt. The arms and legs of the chair-
are richly carved and gilt; the centre of the seat is
rich dark crimson velvet, similar to the back. In.
the centre of the back canopy, on a ground of dark
crimson silk velvet, the Imperial Arms •of these
realms are most superbly emblazoned, accordinf with
the minutest prescriptions of Heraldic distinction.—
The embroidery is of the most exquisite kind.
Above the Atoms are plainly embroideredis gold, the.
initials G. It The distance between the letters is.
about a foot ; just above, and inclining to the right
side of the G. the Ordinal number IV. is embroi-
dered. On the festoons which depend from the rich.
architrave of the canopy, are richly embroidered in
gold and distinctive colours, the Stars and Collars
of the different Orders of Knighthood established in
the British Empire,ithe Garter, Thistle, St- Patrick.
Bath Grand Cross, Bath Commanders, and of the
two divisions of the Royal Guelphic or Hanoverian .
Order. These, with the various splendid decora—
tions we have already described, complete the new
Imperial Throne of the United Kingdom, and con.
stitute, as a whole, the most splendid, classic, and.
appropriate appendage and symbol of Imperial power
ever seen in these realms

A tremendous hail-storm was experienced in the
vicinity of Bala, Merionethshire, Thursday week.
At Rhiwlus, it did great damage to the windows
and to the hot and green-houscs there ; at Cerrig-T
Druitlion, the Parsonage-house suffered severely
and on the upland farm of Naut•dedwydd, about
two cart-loads of hailstones or concerete ice, of the
the sive of large eggs, were seen lying together the
following day. The neighbourhood of Llandrindod,
in Radnorshire, was lately visited by a tremendous
storm of thunder and lightning. A butcher, who
had taken shelter in a cottage, was struck dead.—
The cottager's wife and children, who sat near him
were severely burnt in the face and neck. The
thatched roof of the house was on fire, but it was--
extinguished without h injury.

SAturday morning two battalions of the Ist reg-
ment, of Grenadier Guards, were reviewed by his
Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief and his .
Grace the Duke of Wellington. They went
through their difli:rent evolutions with great pre-
cision, and.to the perfect satistitction of his Royal;
Highness and every officer present.
BELL RtivcaNcs.—Thursday last the Society of
Cumberland Youths rang, at St. John's, I lorsely. -
down, a true and complete Treble Bob Royal, con-
sisting of 50-t0 changes, in three hours and S 4.
minutes, being the only peal rung there for many
years.

A few days since, a dreadful accident happened
at Messrs. Campart and Co.'s mills, at liver. The
lineman, while in the act of putting grease to a.
spindle, had his clothes caught, and he was drawn
in between the two wheels. when the fore of his
body broke the iron spindle, I,ittr inches insubstance,
into three pieces, when he foil or: theiloor dreadfully
mangled. He lingered flu. ,:bout eight hours in.
excruciating agony. Ile was only 29 years of age,
leaving a wife and three children to lament his los-;..
It is to be hoped this shocking accident ►gill he. a
warning to men in ..imilar employment, whew
doing any thing at machinery, to go always to the
left of the wheels, in that case they canuct get en-
tangled. Doing the contrary, wits the cause of this,
unfortunate accident.

his Royal Highness the Commander in C 11,21, on
Satunlay the •48th instant, is to b.: at WalawooZ.

Lord CMTI:EREAGII thou,tht the more natural course

Mr. 111tOUti11ANI replied, that he was story to find it
considered requisite that a notice should be given. Ile had
considered it to be so minecessaiv , t hat he deemed the mot ion
to be a matter of course; and he had been the in Ire espe-
cially led to this coacluiion from the fact that be and his
Learned Friend (:Ir. Denman) hail already twice attended
the Bar of the House on behalf-of Hu! Quern, without any
notice being taken by that Ilona," of such proceeding. But
he had only to add, if he and his Learned Fi iend were not
allowed such' permission—that permission, the granting of
which he deemed to be so much a matter of course—be should
coasider it due to himself, and his ROVOI Client, hereafter to

The conversation here ended, and the notice was
entered for to-morrow.

severity of the sentence passed on sir M. Lopez by the

compared with some other acme tees, moved nit Address

AareDees ELECTION.—Mr. H. BLAIR presented the
?sport of the Aberdeen Election Committee, confirming the
reeiru of Mr. Hume.
CONTEMPT.—Dr. PHILLIMORE moved, that Richard
Armstrong Jervoise be called to the Bar, and discharged,
after Wry ing been reprinvoided, for his contempt of the orders
of the Grantham Election Cominittce.—Agreed to.
The Petitioner was brionglit to the Bar and reprimanded
by Mr. Speaker, who said, that the prisoner ought to have
paid prompt obedience to the warrant of the House. It
was true he bad pleaded ignorance of the force of such do-
cument. Under all the circumstances, the House was of
opinion that there was no intention to interrupt the cornow of
justice; and therefore his petition was acquiesced in. lie
was discharged WI payment of his fees.
Gaanvuest ELECTION.--Dr. Pri [LEI MORE, having
adverted to the Grantham Report, that a practice had grown
111) ill the Borough, of paying money to out-voters, under
colour of terra) Mg ex mimes Anti 10.1 of rime, and it aas
important that there should be a declaratory reaution
on the subject; and although he admitted the practice to be
evivocal, he moved as a Remlution—that others might not
be misled—that the practice of paying money to out-voters,
under colour of sit fray ing expences, was illegal.
Mr. A BERCROIIIII h. thought it was not adviscahle thus
a'sruptly to pass a resolution, declaring that to be illegal
which was mowed to be illegal.
Mr. W. SM Phil said. that the doubts of some Gentlemen
made this Resolution necessary, if this practice acre
allowed,
Doctor PHILEIMORE il, that he had brought for-
ward the Resolution, as a Meinter and tile organ of the
Grantham Election Committee; and its motive was to put
an end to a practice which had lung prevailed. H believed
tile practice to oe iilrget, but he fear, d the practice might
prevail after a hat lie Wel l.eard to-night ; and if it did, the
consequences would be must fatal.
Strangers were ordered to withdraw. The numbers were
Ayes 66—Noes 60.
Mr. ABERCROMBIE gave notice, that early in the
next Session, in consequence of the sni,ill majority by which
the resolution had been carried, he should bring the subject
before the House.—( It ear.)
THE QUEEN'S Coo vset..—Mr. 11;t0tXli A M moved
that permission be given to the queen's Attorney and Soli-
citor General, Members of this Houe, to attend the Bur of
the House Of Lards to plc ad against the bill, hot that the
same be not drawn into a precedent in time forthcoming.
Lord CASTLEREAGH observed, that lie did um rise for
the purpose of opposing tile motion, but he should apply for
the game indulgence to he extended to his Majesty's Attorney
and Solicitor General. Ito%
Mr. C. W YNN and Mr. BANK ES made a few observa-
tions, after which the motion was agreed to.
Lord CASTLEREAGH made a similar motion respecting
his Majesty's Attorney and ..mhcitor-Gener..l.
Mr. WYNN feared that this case was more likely to
he drawn into a precedent, for his Majesty's law officers
might he required to attend on Bills in the other House.

Dr. LUSII IN GTON said, as her Majesty had been
pleased to comma•/ his counsel and advise, he •lad to move
for similar indulgence.
After re narks, from Lord Castlereagh, Sir J. Mackintosh,
and Nir. Wynn,
ESA N 61'.S thought there• was considerable ditrerence
bet tiertithe cases of the law ',theirs of her Majesty and tli.
lion. Gentleman who had last applied for peratissioa. lie
should tier. fore give a negative to (kid motion, as lie was
feat NI the the ripplicatiou might he drawn into a precedent.
The motion, however, was agreed to, ithout :toy divot nn
brio;; required.
Mr. C.ILI:tt:AF l called the attention of the House to the
Net'. Barracks is Inch Government had begun to build in the
Regent's Palk. No (Amu te had been; laid before the house
on the subject ; no grams of money had been required ; iti-
deed the ,M misters hed taken the matter completely on
themselves without ,ski .1 for the approbation of Parliament.
tl mess some satisfactory we re ;liven the subject,
tie should move to have the Comptroller of the Barrack De-
partment called to their liar to ascertain by whose
mile, s be had began to build the bat racks in the Ite,;ent's
Park.
Toe Cil A NCL LIAM: of the EXCIiEQU ER explained
the proceedings. but in an indistinct tone of voice. It ap-
pe.irkil that the barracks :now begun in the Regent's Park
are in lieu of the Portman Bun racks, the kuse of winch had
expired. The expense of those barracks was upwards of
5,0001. a year ;the estimateet expense of She intended bar-
racks was about 70,000:. so that for that amount, or ad-
vancing for ihe 5,0001. a year, otherwise saved, thec bar-
racks would belong to the public after a series of years.
Mr. Abercrombie, Lord Biawin,, &C. look part in the
conversation founded on the explatiatian.
The other Ordc rs of the Day, the Alien Bill, &c. were
gone through, and the (louse adjourned.
'riltit,•u_xx, JUNE 13.
_ _

The Extra Post Bill was %rad a third time and passed, after
Mr. Lushington had declared that the arrangements of the
Bill Mere not of a compulsory Character, that individuals
might use or reject tue advantages of the extra post, accord-
ing to I heir own pleasure.
Tete TEST ACT-.—Mr. W. SMITH presented a Petition,
signed by himself, mill about 100 persons, being Disseoters,
in and about tho met riewlis, pray iag the House to repeal the
Corporation 11114 Test Acts. Had the Petitioners relied on
numbers., instead the sirvn.A!) of their rea,oning, this peti-
tbm might have keen si,,,tieri by upwards of one hundred
thousand persons. T:ICSt Acts were a great hardship, nod
the petitioners relied on thejustice of their case to gain a
acaring. They were constantly loyal, and well effected to
the Co wtitution. If he remained in Parliament. lie should
bring for a motion on the subject. 'limy did not con-
sider that they ought to he so stigmatized as to be deemed
inelligible to hold civil offices.
Lord N COEN 1' seconded the motion, deeming it to he
an anomaly in these enlightened times to cotitieue the ex-
emption of eligibility to fill civil alters. He took this
opportunity to state that he had in his possession a Petition
from the Ebglids Roman Catholics, which, however, in the
present state of the ;while •dhe id id nut present till
next Session, when he would submit some motion on the
subject.
Petition brought up, read, and ordered to be printed,
after
Mr. W. SMITH had observed, that she should have pre-
sented it before, but for the state of the public business;
however. the Dissenters were anxious to put in their claim
in the first Session of the first Parliament of a new reign.—lt
was row thirty years since any similar attempt had been
made; he should bring forward n motion 011 the subject.
Twig New BARR ACKS.—The CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER moved the secoud reading of the New
Barracks' Agreement Dill.
Mr. CALCRAFT rose to oppose this Bill. The Bar-
racks were to accommodate the 2il Regiment of Guards,
but he complained of the expence. The business ought
to he postponed till emit year.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended
the measure. He brought down the agreement within
two or three days of its having been concluded.
Lord NUGENT expressed his regret that barracks were
every where appearing, and that soldiers were covering
country. A military system might be adopted, but its •
result was always fatal. Every Government that had
relied on the military had eventually been deceived those
countries were in the worst slate which relied most on
the military, of which Turkey was a tin iking proof. When
our finances were 00 the verge of bankruptcy Ike number
of our soldiers had been nearly doubled. He did not
ine.in to charge the Government with a deliberate design
to set tip a military system; he only spoke of the tendency
of the measures which were now in progress of itdUlolllo.
The gallery was then cleared fur a division. The
tiers were—Ayes, US—Noes, 40.—The Bill was then read
a second time.
The orders of the day were then gone through, and ;he
House adjourned.
