THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1818.

Saturday we received the Paris Papers of Wednes-
day, from which we make the following extracts :
" Punts, Oc•r. 23.—1 t is by error a journal an-
eounced that the Emperor Alexander was to alight at
the hot,•l of Prince Talleyraml ; it appears certain that
hit Nlajesty will proceed to the Thuilleries,or to the
hotel of the embassy.

" The Emperor Alexander and King cf Prussia are
expecte,l in Parii this day. After dining at the Thu-
illerics, the Emperor Alexander will leave Paris, and
will pass the night at Scnlis, The King of Prussia
will not depart so soon. He will go to the Opera to
night to see the Dun:sides. Both these Sovereios are
expected at Aix-la-Chapelle on the 3d or the •4th of
November. _ _

" On Thursday next, the 28th inst. a aplenclil en-
tertainment will be given in the gardens of Tivoli,
in honour of the arrival of the Allied Sovereigns in
Paris.

" AIX-LA-CHAPF.LLE, OCT. 22.—The Emperor of
Airaria visited yesterday the country seat of M. d'Aus-
scm, at Drimborn, half a league from the city. His
Majesty walked part of the way, areampanicd only by
Count d'Urbna, hi 3 first Chamberlain. He mcst mi-
.2mtely examined the English Gardens, the Cabinet of
Natural history, and the dyr manufactories. His
Majesty deigned to express his satisfaction to the pro-

'nu NATIONAL ItEGISTEIt.

prietor, and found the situation of this domain so very
agreeable, that he promised to visit it again.

"BERLIN, OCT. 17.—His Highness Field MorSlial
Prince Blucher arrived here a few days ago from
Breslow."

The first division of the British Army of Occupation
of France has arrived in England, as will be seen by
the following letter front Dover, dated Oct. 30 :
" This morning, between nine and ten o'clock, $
mist magnificent spectacle presented itself -in the en-
trance inti the harbour, of forty three vessels, loaded
with the first division of the Army of Occupation of
France, the heroes of Waterloo, &c. They consisted
of 2,076 infantry and artillery, and 600 women and
children, besides upward of 150 horses; the men, some
of whom had not touched foot upon British land for
twelve years, were in the highest spirits on landing ; the
bands of their regiments playing the national airs ; a
vast concourse of spectators were on the quays to wit-
ness their arrival, and the whole town has been one
general scene of bustle all day by the marching of
some of the regiments, and the quartering of the others,
near a thousand being billeted upon the publicans and
innkeepers this evening. The vessels have all sailed
again, and we may therefore expect a similar arrival
to-morrow. The following are the regiments which
arrived to-day:—The 4th, 6th, 71st, 79th, and Royal
Artillery."

The following is an extract of a letter from Calais,
dated 30th October .

" The 4th anal sth Brigades were all embarked yes-
tenlay at two o'clock. The 31 Brigade is just arrived,
and will depart to-day. The town is all bustle and
confusion, so tar as relates to its inhabitants, eager to
avail themselves of the last days left fur them to sell
off their goods ; but nothing can be conducted with
more-regularity than the embarkation of the troops,
who, in every respect, skew the most strict discipline.
Instead of marching through the town, as they have
done through every town on their way from Cambray,
they go round it, and arrive on the port by the Sands."

Intelligence from Aix-la-Chapelle of the Qsth ult.
states, that Ministers were engaged in drawing up seve-
ral new treaties of alliance, which will be sig,ned by the
Russian and Prussian Monarchs immediatelY upon their
return to that city. It is added, that before the close of
the Congress, an official declaration of Ls results will be
published.
It is announced in the French papers that the King's
Government are meditating the introduction of two
laws, on subjects most important to the property, the
rights, and liberties of the French nation. The first
will regard the-composition of juries. An understand-
ing seems to prevail, that the great object of this law
will be to make the right of sitting on juries co-exten-
sive with that of electing members to the legislature :
thus Frenee, " will contain 100,000 jurors,"—a
small number, undoubtedly, whether of jurymen or
electors, in a population computed at twenty-six mil-
lions. Although no such restriction is -observed in
England, so far as relates to petty juries, on which all
boni et proLi hemlines are competent to serve; yet, as
amongst the French the trial by jury is a novel institu-
tion, it appears neither illiberal nor unreasonable that
the upright discharge of those sacred duties, and the
enlightened exercise of those momentous powers which
belong to it, should be secured as far as possible, by
limiting them both to a class of men of unquestioned
personal respectability, paying a large sum in taxes to
the State, and deeply concerned for the common pre.
servation of property, as by their uncontrolled choice of
representatives, they stand in a manner responsible for
the maintenance of the public freedom.
It is understood that a distinguished partizan of the
Spanish American Patriots, who has passed some months
in the different parts of the United Kingdom, has been
eminently successful, notwithstanding former disap-
pointments, in procuring volunteers to cross the Atlan-
tic under his orders. He has already obtained the pro-
mises of 1500 indivi:luals, of whom about 1000, it is
said, will proceed in a few days. in four transports,
from the River The rest will be shipped at Greenock,
and from the North of Ireland, The Agent alluded to
has chartered for this purpose 10 vessels, half of the
freight of which has been paid to the owners in advance.
A considerable accession -of volunteers is expected from
the continent so that before the close of the year, the
Euorpean force destined to act under him, is expected
It is now asserted, that the issue of New Crowns
has not been stopped : and that the same dies are em-
ployed without any alteration.
On the 27th instant, Mr. Snudden, Riding Officer
at Shanklin, seised 19 casks of prohibited spirits, in a
field near Shanklin, having a party of .soldiers with
him. The smugglers made their escape.

to amount to no less than COO men. The different
vessels will, it is Japposed, rendezvous at Old Provi-
dence, off the Musquito shore, where Commodore :fury
has already made a lodgment ; and theme, the leader
GI the expedition will direct his future movements,
according to circumstances, so as either to open a direct
communication with the Independents in the interior
of New Granaja, or to produce an important diversion
in their faeour, by landing on the !Ames of Darien.
It is by some conjectured, that his ultimate views arc
not unconnected with the intended operations of Lord
Cochrane in the Pacific. It is no longer a secret that
his Lordship has proceeded to take the command of the
Independent naval three at Valparaiso ; and it cannot
be doubted, that successful attacks upon the wealth;
Spanish settlements to the northward of that port, are
contemplated by that enterprising eflicer. Hence, it
is not unlikely thot a part of the troops may be destined
to penetrate across the Isthmus, and to be employed by
his Lordship es a corps of debarkation.
According to letters from Cadiz, to the 7th tilt. and
front Madrid to the 15th, advice, had been received
from Vera Cruz, to the 30111 of Juiy, representing the
whole kingdom of Mexico to be then in a tranquil
state ; but admitting that there seemed to be a dispo.
•itioa to resolution. Several millions of specie had
been deposited at Vera ('ruz; and only waited vessels of
war to convey it to Cadiz The Insurgent privateers
had left the neighbourhood of the port of Havannah;
but they were not far distant ; and the object seemed to
be, to entice out richly helen Spanish vessels. Na
news had been received at Cadiz at the date of the last
letters, of the rich convoy from Havanna' which sailed
so long ago; great apprehensions arc entertained that
it has tiillen into the hands of,the privateers wider the
Put roti flag.
According to private letters from Paris, a report had
been circulated thr some days past, that General [foyer,
President of the Republic of St. Domingo, had pro-
posed to the Government to recognize the independence
of that Republic. la return, be would engage to pay
a considerable annual tribute, and would consent to
stipulations which would secure to France commercial
advantages.
The King of France bu authorised M. Hauteeive
to continue his effbrts for a successful mediation be.
tween Spain and Portugal, as recommended by all the
great Powers, freely accepted by Portngal, and rejected
only by the infatuated Spaniards.
Baron de Sturmer, late Austrian Commissioner at
St. Helena, has passed through the Hague, on his way
to his master at Aix-la-Chapelle. This is all the in.
telligence given by the French Papers on the subject ;
but private letters add, that he is going to deliver a re-
port on the present state of Buonaparte. It is
remarkable that he should not have taken England on
his way (for we have not heard of his arrival at any of
our ports, or even of his intention to leave St. Helena),
but should have at once landed in Holland. Should,
however, the account prove correct, the report of the
Austrian Commissioner will put an end to the calumnies
respecting tl.c treatment of Buonaparte.
The official estimate of the army of the Germanic
Confederation has been published, by order of the Diet.
About 300,000 men are the aggregate for the whole of
Germany ; of which number Austria is to provide
above 94,000, and Prussia 79,000, constituting both
together more than a moiety of the entire force. The
proportion borne by Prussia is more nearly ulnal to the
Austrian contingent, than would be the case, if the
whole of the Imperial dominions of Austria were in-
cluded within the Germanic Confederation; but Ilan-
gary, Gallicia, and the Italian provinces, of course,
have not been taken into the account.

The following are, it is said, among the movements
consequent upon the return of the troops from Frawe,
and the reduction of the army :—The 20th IZ,:it is to
proceed to St. Helena. Tile 4th, sth, 9th, and 21st,
are destined for the West Indies, upon their return
from France. The 18th, 25th, 35th, 39th, 91st, and
the 2d battalion of the Rifle Brigade, are to go to Ire-
land. The 13th and 14th Drugoons are to relieve the
ist and 22d Dragoons in India The 3d and 4th
Dragoons to be made Light Dragoons.
_

The establishment at the depotfor arms, ammunition,
&c. near Chelmsford, will be shortly rernovtd, and that
handsome building, upon which so considerable a sum
of money has been expended, disposed of—The premises
are undergoing a survey, and it is thought, that should
the building be for disposal, it will be purchased for the
purposes of a Penitentiary and House of Correction for
the county.

The great law appointments are at length said to be
finally settled. Mr. Justice Abbott, previously to the
first day of the ensuing Term, will be sworn in as Chief
Justice of the Court of King's Bench, and Mr. Justice
Dallas as Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. The
vacancies on the Bench among the l'uisne Judges will
be supplied by two of the following gentlemen :—Mr.
Richardson, Mr. W. E. Taunton, Mr. Littletialc, or
Mr. Serjcant Busanquet.
From Dresden it is stated, that the marriage of the
Archduchess Caroline, daughter of the Emperor of
Austria, with Prince Frederic, nephew of the King of
Saxony, it to be celebrated in April next.

TUE DRAMA.

DRURY LANE THEATRE.

A new actress naade 'her first appearance on Saturday
alight, as Portia, in The Merchant of Venice. Mrs.
I've (for such we understand the lady's name to be)
possesses great exterior advantages, and is not without
some of the intellectual ones which arc necessary to
insure celebtity in the profession to which she belongs.
Her figure is rather tall and well proportioned; her
face is handsome, her action graceful, and her voice
harmonious; but our readers will probably join with
us in condemning the selection of the part assigned to
ter upon this occasion, when we state that her success
vas more complete in the lighter scenes than in those
of a serious nature. It would surely not be difficult
to select some character in which her playfulness could
avail her more, and her want of energy be less apparent,
than we can say that it was when brought to the im-
portant test of the trial scene. However, even under
this disadvantage her reception was very favourable ;
and the impression of her talents has excited an ex-
pectation in our mine~::, that at some future day, nod
perhaps in some other walk of the Drama, her ambition
of excellence will be realized. Mr. D. Fisher in Bas-
sani°, in some parts displayed considerable point and
ti;drit, but there were others •in which he degenerated
into flippancy, and the whole had an appearance of
being too laboured and artificial. Of Mr. Kean's Shy-
inch it is unnecessary to speak; but we are happy at
being enabled to say, that the house was numerously
and respectably attended.
