THE NATIONAL REGISTER,

Colonel-Commandant of the • Marires of the Guards, Vice-
Admiral Missiessy, and Rear-Admiral Ruysch, had the honour
to dine with his Majesty.
On the 25th and e6th an equinoctial gale came on. It blew
very fresh, and there was a very hollow sea. it was impossible
to communicate with the land.
. In the afternoon of the three ships set sail, and performed
different manoeuvres.
His Majesty had no sea-sickness.
On th. 27th, at live in the morning, his Majesty quitted the
char:emagne, and went on board the yacht, and at eight o'clock
arrived a: flushing.
At nine his Majesty received the Authorities; at ten he mount-
ed his hofse to inspect the works of the artillery, of the engineers,
and of the marine engineers.
Eausszes, Suer. 23.—Yesterday will be marked in the an-
nals of our city as one of the muse pleasing days we ever enjoyed.
The whole populatien of Bruss. Is issued from its wails—the
Green Alley, both herk 3 of the canal, the village of Laeken, as
well as all the envirens of the Impel sal Palace, were fil:ed with
euipages and an irnn., rise multitude. It is unnecessary to add,
that this eagerness, so lively, so natural, had for its object the
hope of Feting her Majesty the Empress; it was only necessary
to have a heart, to feel it !
About five in the afternoon our august Sovereign came out ,of
the Palace of Laeken, and entered an open carriage: on her aps
pearance the most lively acclemations were heard on all sides, of
which her Ma': Sty seemed graciously' sensible. The suite of
the Empress consisted of two other carriages ; her promenade,
which was directed towards the environs of Grimbergen, was
favoured by the finest evening ever enjeyed at the end of Sep-
tember.
This morning the Fmpress rode on horee back in the charming
environs of the Pal ice.
AMSTERDAM, Oe T. I.—The certainty of the arrival of their
Majesties, wench we have fir a long tune expected, has put in
notion all this towr.
Proud of the title of Third Town of the Empire, which his
Majesty has been pleased to confer upon it, it flatters itself it is
worthy of the distinction, by the sentiments of gratitude which
animate it for its august Sovereign. Every preparation has been
made. to render the stay of their Mejeties as brilliant as the si-
tuation of the town and the advanced season will permit. The
vessel called Felix Merit( is fitted up to give a fete, if his Ma-
jesty should deign to accept it ; and the principal persoes of the
town have already been invited, with all the Superior Func-
tionaries, to assist at it. Triumphal arches have been erected
in the streets, through which it is presumed their Majesties will
pass.
The Guard of Honour, which had lost many of its members,
either through death, or by their nominat;on to places which
demanded their residence in other parts, has been completed;
the inhabitants, who are still in the country, are eager to return
to their homes to pay the honours of their house to the distin-
guished persons in the suite of his Majesty, who will be ledgt d
with them. A crowd of strangers flock from all parts, to enjoy
the most glorious and touching spectacle ever olfered to the eyes
of the Hollanders---the presence of the gre attest of Monarchs.
The following notification relative to the public fetes en the
occasion of the entry and sojourn of their Majesties in Amster-
dam, has been inserted in the journals:—

CASSEL (WEse eIiA.LIA), SEPT. 20 —Yesterday commence r 1 is
the plain of Forst, near Cassel, the grand autumn reviews. The
King repaired to the ground at half-past six in .the moeoieg. Fur
the first time, the greater part of tile V.restph:-Ihiti army was a,-
sciubled together. Twenty battalions (4 itifentt y, and twenty
sluadrdns of cavalry, were drawn up ir that vast plain. His
Majesty was received with enthusiasm by the troeps. Having
reviewed each battalion separately, he ordered.that some young
Offirers, whom he had called out Of the ranteiveirhout selectlon,
should take the command of each battalion. The manceuvrue
were performed with s:eadieess and precision. The Queen and
her Imperial Highness Madame, were resent at this grand
spectacle, ;.laced in a small tent erected on one of the hillocks of
tte plain; they there breakfasted with his Majesty.
The King was about twelve hourson.horsebeek, incessantly
passing along the line, examinine the eqeipments of the troop"
in their minutest details, and ordering their movements.
VIENNA, SEPT. 15.—A jeurnal publish( d here has the follow,.
ing anecdete with regard to the Archdelte Charles, which is teeet
generaily known :—" This Prince was boi n at *Florence, no the
sth of lieeternb.-r, 1771. As be had two brothere older than
himself, his august parents destined him for the church. kif
would have had, in consequence, an electorate or a rich priect-
pality. A trifling circumstance occasioned his quitting this pur-
suit, to follow the career of arms. Sosepi!. 11. being in Italy, 41
1776, visited his brother to Leopold, Gi and Duke of 'I uscanv.
To flatter the warlike spirit of the Emperor,. the play-things 4f
the young Princt.t received the additiori of all the equipments qf
soldiers, which particularly delighted the Archduke Chatlee,
who was then five years old; The mernieg after the arrival
the Emperor, his Grand-master found the young prince at 1;
uncle's door, with a sword by his side, sleuilderine his tire!". f,
and drawn up with the bod Lll y 27119, " What tlo you there, n j
Prince ?" said the Grand-rrutster.. "I am geertlioe m wee.'"
replied the Archduke, coolly. At .rlds moment the 'Emperge

arms, and said to hitii—" V. ry Well, my little friend, I citenet

. very extraoniinary circumstance, but to
the truth of which, extraordinary as it is, we pledge ourselves,
occurred lately in the principal Roman Catholic Chapel of Kil-
kenny. One of the Priests was delivering a sermon on the in-
tercession of the Virgin, when a young Priest, who was pre-
sent, stood up, and publicly contradicted the doctritte; exclaim-
ing to the preacher, that l►e was misleading the people, for that
Christ was the only intt rcessor ; and warning the people tact to
believe the doctrine which they then heard. Mach confusion,
as might indeed have been expected, immediAely raose ; and
the interrupter was seized and Iturlied into the Sacristy. At this
strange scene tt;-Avareis of twelve hundrelftersons were present.

R ECONC I lATION.
" DUBLIN, OCT. 2.—T6 the confusion of the Faction, we re-
joice in Jtating, that the late difference's between the Limerick
and Nottingham Regiments of Militia have been.hap:.,lly accom-
incxiateci. These Regiments met yeste•-day morning in Stei.hen's •
green, and delighted every honest mind by their cordial reconct-
iit.tion. Durieg this gratifying scene, the Band of each Regi-
ment played the national tunes of the other. 'fills is as it should
be—henteforth their wete:ons will be drawn only again,t the
common enemy ; andthe faction who so brutally exulted in their
Oissention, have now to mourn their re•uttion.-I.°lay such tears
be ever by the internal adversaries of Ireland; the Agents of
her external foe !—( Patriot.) _ _

ig The inisunderstanding between two Of the battalions in this
garrison, the Nottingham and Limerick city regitnenta. of mill.;
tia, we have some reasons to believe, has fist been accurately
stated either as to the cause of its occurrence, or as to its souse-'
quences. It did not originate in any-pre-existing between
those two fine corps, nor did it terminate as Was resorted. This
we may venture to assert is the fact. The disagreement had its
commencement out of the barracks, in some accidental contro-
vert), among a few individuals of each is ginietit, whom good
fellowship had somewhat impaired in discretioe and under-
standing; and, unluckily, 'whilst deprived of these guar.lians, it
was communicated to each regiment by their intemperate com-
rades; and adopted with very reprehensible heat by each battas
tipn, without any inquiry into the circumstances. Under the ir-
ritation of the- moment therls no question but that each corps
acted in a manner that violated every duty of a soldier, but-sell
there was no sanguinary reseutrrent mixed up in the contest
whilst it lasted, and it lasted too long for the reputation of those
corps. It was more the consequence of a mistaken sensibility
upon military pre-eminence, -which is always to be found in assos
elated bisdies of men, whether armed or unarmed, than of any
other consideration. Whilst We would vindicate those regi-
ments from the imputation of possessing any unworthy senti-
-ments of 'hostility towards each other, embarked as they are in
the same cause, with the saute motives to enjoin both to an hum-
ble and faithful discharge of their public duty, .and with no less
a stake than their common country to tight for, against the ene•
'my of mankind; .we cannot let the cireinnstatice pass, without
that share of reprobation which the soldier incurs, who shakes
off his suliardination to indulge his passions, and who puts more
to the hazard in a moment ist licentiousness, than the services of
his life could be a compensation far. It is nut so much in the
mere transaCtion condemnable as it is, that the evil lies ; it is in
its pbssible extenition among those corps who have each gene-
rously undertaken to-defenSt. the country of the other, 4nd who
.may, by misrepresentation or exaggeration, ituagi •e insult or
contempt, where neither had for a moninet the slightest exist-
ence. This is the.danger, which, added to a gross infraction of
eLscipline, must, upon a moment's reilec:ion on the part of the
•regimentt in question, hitherto so exemplary in conduct and in
characters, show them-how much was committed to the lassie of
their quarrel, and how necessary it is that their =niacin should
be immediate, and their future cordiality sincere. It is no mat-
ter which might have been in error—nothing can justify the
soldier in taking redress into his own hands. We have assumed
the liberty of making these few remarks, which are suggested by
an anxious wish, that our Military force in each kingdom should
evince, by common goo&will. that they have no adversary hut
.the tyrant that would enslave their country—that they Nita only
for the preservation of the British Empire; and, we must say,
with a great respect for what others may think, that if any of to
presumes to an editorial censorship upon these occasions, our
observations shouts be conciliatory, and without any predileC•
