THE KING's RETURN.

St. Paul directs Timothy to " be all things to all
Men," and Ministers imitate him.—ln Ireland the
King declared himself " all Irish"—in Hanover, he
said, he was " all Hanoverian"—and we hope now
that he is returned to his native land, he will con-
vince us that he can be " all English."

His Majesty arrived at Carlton Palace at six
o'clock Thursday evening, in his private travelling
chariot, attended by Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, and
escorted by a party of Lancers. The carriage drove
at a rapid pace through the Park, and entered the
back gates to avoid any public inconvenience.—
The King is said to look remarkably well, and is
by no means so much exhausted as might have been
anticipated, from the excessive fatigue he has un-
dergone, and the celerity of the Royal movements.
His Majesty, we understand, arrived in the Roads
off Ramsgate, during the night, and slept on board,
Early Thursday morning he landed, and after taking
some refreshment, left immediately for London.—
The bells of St. James's and St. Martin's rang a
merry peal during the evening, and the Park guns
announced his arrival in the metropolis. The
Duke of York and Marquess of Londonderry dined
with his Majesty.

The French papers of Wednesday are by no means
without interest, but so diversified in the manner of
conveying it, that we find ourselves constrained to
allude to the points, instead of translating the articles.
—ln reference to France itself the first thing we are
called upon to notice is, the first Sittings of the two
Chambers, which of course were occupied entirely
with routine. The muster of Deputies is described,
and it seems that the right side were the most nu-
merous, although several distinguished Liberals are
mentioned by name. M. Benjamin Constant, who
appeared supported by crutches, took his usual scat
on the left. Some rather noisy discussions on points
of form followed, but nothing very characteristic.—
The Constitteionnel informs us that the schools for
mutual instruction increase in the departments, and
that the advantages are so conspicuous, they are
unwillingly admitted, even by those who have
hitherto opposed the system. NVe are told that the
siii: manufactories of Lyons, which have been ex.
ceedingly depressed, are becoming once more brisk
:a consequence of numerous orders from America.—
The death of Mr. W. Johnston, an eminent mer-
chant at Bourdeaux, is mentioned as having taken
place on the 2d instant, to the infinite regret of
many indigent finilies, whom he was known secretly
to assist. We must not forget to observe that the
Mtn: iteur contains a long Ordonnance regulating
the duties on foreign wool and woollen cloth.
In respect to the Grecian question, the most in•

tcresting article in these papers is supplied by a
private letter, dated Toulon, ‘29th ult., which men-
tions the arrival of the Bonite from Smyrna, from
which she sailed on the Ist Oct. It commences by
some just eulogy on the benefits produced by the

THE NATIONAL REGISTER •

French squadron in the Levant, which draws down
blessings on " our august Monarch, whose flag flies
only to succour the unhappy and protect the weak
against the outrages of the strong." It then states
that after a short cessation disturbances had recom-
menced at Smyrna, at the festival of the K urban
Bairam. At this feast it is usual to sacrifice lambs,
but in the present instance the Turks gave the pre-
ference to Greeks. There was, however, no general
massacre, but a great number of particular assassina-
tions, to which the local authority supplied a very
slight resistance, after the departure of the Captain
Pucka. In this emergency the French vessels '
are again described as the honourable refuge of
the unhappy Greeks. In speaking of the efforts
of the French fleet to repress insults and pro-
tect general commerce from the disorderly attack
to which it is liable in the present state of those seas,
equal praise is given to the British and Austrian
squadrons, and some instances are mentioned of their
beneficial interference in the protection of each
other's merchant vessels. The Greek fleet, at
Hydra, is described as continuing to harms the
Turkish vessels with fire ships, which although for
present ably avoided, are likely to be effective, as the
season obliges the latter to concentrate. The Greeks
are said to have no less than 170 vessels in these
seas, although but badly provided, and with little
discipline among their crews.
From Trieste we learn some reported advantages
of the Turks, in a descent in the Bay of Coron, and
the re-victualling of the fortress, after repulsing a
vigorous attack from the Greek fortress. In other
places they have had less success.
The various rumours in respect to the diplomacy
of the Great Powers are scarcely worth noticing,
whilst things remain so ridiculously contradictory
A letter from Vienna states that our Ambassador at•
Constantinople strove to modify the demands of
Russia upon the Porte : whereas Austria and Prus-
sia were of opinion that the Porte ought to accede
to them. Hence, says this letter, the journey of
Prince !Metternich to Hanover. If he succeed in
his negociation " England will be obliged materially
to relax in the policy which she has adopted towards
the Greeks."
The Lisbon Mail which arrived yesterday morning
brings intelligence of a very important motion made
in the Cortes for the abolition of the Order of the
Knights of Malta, and of the application of the
Revenues, after the death of the present holders of
of the different benefices, to the reduction of the
national debt. The extent of the burthen of these
politico-ecclesiastical sinecures on the people of
Portugal is little understood by the people of
England. The revenues of the Commendarics, as
they are generally called, which arc held by these
Knights, consist in a portion of the gross produce
of the soil, after the manner of tithes, but frequently
consisting of much more than a tenth. The I'or-
tuguese were thus, under the range of some of these
Commendaries, in as bad a situation as the people
of Ireland, who pay a double tithe, one to the Pro-
testant clergyman or lay itnpropriator, the other to
the Catholic Priest.

A letter reocived in Edinburgh, from a gentle-
man attached to the Arctic land expedition, dated
in April last, and written from Fort Enterprize.—
Lake Winter, which is in the neighbourhood of the
Coppermine River, and in the country occupied by
the Copper Indians or Redknifes, states that the
party had passed the winter at that place ; during
which they enjoyed good health, though they had
suffered some inconvenience from the cold, which
was so intense even in the interior of their huts, as
to freeze rum a very little below proof: The ther-
mometer suddenly fell to minus 57 degrees Fahren-
heit. The party intended to prosecute their journey
in June; they have found, from the information of
Indians, that the maps hitherto published are not
to be depended upon, but Hearne's information to
be tolerably accurate. One of the guides was a
boy at the time of Hearne's journey, and accompa-
nied the party to sea.
A RUSSIAN PRINCE A RRIVED.••••. There are more
Russian Princes and Princesses in London than in
Petersburgh. The birth cf another Russian Oil
Prince took place un the 7th instant.
