THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

LONDON :
MONDAY, OCTOBER 14.

AT a late hour last night, a Flanders Mail arrived,
with Pig e-s, ()f which the liillowing are extracts:—

lint sat.% 041.7. B.—The King is expected in this city
next Thursday. We do net know when the Peinee Royal
and his atienst consort will make their entry into this city;
meantime all the inhabitants rival each other zeal and de-
♦qtcdncs. to give their Highnesses the most brillian recep-
tion. It seems certain, tint lu•r Royal Highness the Princess
of ()lunge will lie in at titassels.
•' BCRTAN, Ocr t Le ports of the Baltic, Dantziek,
Ries, Ac. could, if in re.,,ary, sufficiently simply Germany
and Switzerland a ith corn. 'fliey complain in these ports of
having no molt es for wain, which is the more abundant, as
I:neland, which formerly thew great quantities from them,
can now no more inipott any. The letters ,•rum Dantzick of
the sad August, say there was no demand. The lust of rye
was on tit 11th, at Riga, in ufni roubles.•'

Since. our last have lava received Paris papers to
the !?th inst. Thy• Elections of course continue to be the
Ica,ling features in them. There is searce'y one depart-
ment in which some of the Deputies of the lat..! Cham-
fer tare not reurned. In the returns with which these
two days' papers furnish uv, w,: tied 25 Members of the
Clamber. Some of them, Corbiems, Sulaberry, &c. are

TIM NATIONAL REGISTER.

amongst the most marked men in the Ulm:- Royalist
Party.

The latter papers state, that forty-four deputies of
the old Chamber arc already re-cloy:ea ; tte whole
number of Members yet returned to the new Chamber
being only 60. It does not follow, that all the forty-
four are what are called Ultras; some arc known not
to be such ; yet, if the late Chamber was dismissed for
its uhra-roydixl qualities, the present proportion of
nearly three-fourths of old Deputies in the new re-
turns is fearfully against the Ministers.

Private Letters, dated the Gth, give some particulars
relative to the state of Paris, which induce us to fear a
enmmotionjtherc. The dearness of bread produces an
irrational illwill to Government, which the disaffected,
in their equally irrational presumption, suppose may be
male an instrument tin- themselves, at the risk only of
the ilopulace. Some ex-otficers of the Buonapathan
army have already been discovered stimulating the cries
nixm the price of bread ;—men who inflicted misery
in every country they entered, and did so by an im-
mense waste of the lives of Frenchmen, alli:et to be in-
capable of repose, because bread is a few suns dearer
than usual !

The reduced state of trade has excited a jealousy and
discontent in Paris, similar to that pnkluced by the ba-
zaars in this metropolis. The shopkeepers of that city,
to the amount of 800, have presented a Memorial to
the Minister of State, Prefect of Police, complaining of
the great injury which they sustain from the moveable
stalls in the streets ; in which the very articles in which
they deal are sold at their doors, and their business is
thus inte7cepted by these fugacious trades-people.

An Austrian Observer, received with the Paris pa-
pew, contains a very long account of the battle before
Algiers, which will be flaunt in another part of our
Paper. This report, said to have been received by way
of France, and to have been writen by an eye-witness
who was on shore during the battle, appears little more
than a transcript of our Official Gazette, with a few
additions and some alterations, calculated to render it
more palatable to a French reader. Indeed the French
papers cannot refrain from their practice of attacking
our hoe Expetlition. In those of the 9th instant,
there is an article, purp'rting to come from Leg-
horn, in which the Dey of Algiers is depicted in a very
theatrical point of view, standing upon a bastion, and
saying to his people before the depanure of the English
fleet—" No, we have not been conquered." To be
sure not The terms he signed, the slaves he released,
the money he restored, the apology dictated to hin►,
none of these aflbrd any proofs of being conquered!
The negociations between Naples and America are
said to be on the point of being concluded.
The Funds and the Exchange with this country are
both rising. The former are 581 ; the latter is 25f. 43c.
at 80 days date.

The improvement of the Funds is a.acribed to the be-
lief, that the Minister has in contemplation a seheme
of finance, which will render unnecessary either a loan,
new taxes, or the touching of the sinking Fund, during
next year. _ _ _

Saturday afternoon, the Funds varied but little.—
The Dividends (above five millions) were paid to the
Bankers, and this day arc to be paid to the Public.—
It is thought, the money thus put into circulat. may
have a favourable effect on the Funds. The Commis-
sioners for the reduction of the Debt will next month
receive nearly one hundred thousand weekly in addi-
tion to the present amount thus employed ; their pur-
chases of stock will, in consequence, be then very ex-
tensive.

The accounts of the public revenue for the quarter
ending, Friday, October 10, have been made up and
published. There was probably a previous hope, that
they would prove not untiivourable ; and it was justly
felt, that nothing could be a better antidote to the pre-
sent deNixmdency, than a statement of a surplus. We
arc glad to learn, that this amounts to £1,910,..N9 ss.
51d. The Minister. however, hoving taken credit titr
an excess of £750,000, it is the difference between the
two sums that constitutes the real surplus.

Wednesday Lord Exmouth arrived in town, anti had
an interview• with the Board of Admiralty. His Lord-
' ship seemed to be in good health and spirits.
The gallant Lord Exmouth is a native of Dover.—
His Lordship's tiither, Captain Pellew, liirmerly com-
manded one of the Post Office Packets on that station.
In the late attack upon Algiers, the excellent (po-
lity of teak-wood for ships of war was clearly evinced.
A great quantity of the shot fired at the hull of the
Minden, which is of that wood, glided (dl, and some
stuck in her side without doing any injury. ]'he intro-
duction of this wood into the British navy, was towing
to the• judgement and discrimination of the Earl of St.
Vincent, who, on this as on all other occasions of use-
ful refrm, had a host of jobbers to encounter.
His Majesty's ship Alceste, with Lord A nil'erst on
board, had arrived at Java, with the ship General
Hewitt. They were expected to proceed immediately
on their voyage to China.

OCTOBER 14.

PRINCESS OF WALES.
-0.-

Rome, SEPT. 26.—The Princess of Wales has gone
to Venice, where she proposes to stay some time ; thence
she goes to Milan, and about the end of Octoba to Co-
mu. Her Royal Highness particularly visited the Li-
brary of the Vatican and the Museum. She every where
astonished the different Professors who had the honour
to receive her, by her great knowledge. Her Royal
Highness has made some important acquisitions in ob-
jects of antiquity. She has presented to his Holiness
several pieces of sculpture, and some paintings she had
brought from Greece and Palastine. Among them " a
Vision of St. John," and " a Daniel in the Lion's Den,"
works unknown, and of great labour. Among the pre-
sents her Royal Highness has received from his Holi-
ness, are two tables in mosaic, one representing St. Ce-
cilia, and the other St. Aghe, martyrs. Her suit is
singularly composed ; the greater number belonging to
it wear the Cross of the Order of St. Sepulchre, and
the decoration of the Order of Caroline, founded by the
Princess herself. She is to meet her Counsel, Mr.
Brougham, at Florence or Milan.

WINDSOR, OCT. 13.—Yesterday her Majesty and
the Princesses went in a coach and four to Bagshot, on
a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, where
they partook of a sumptuous repast, and afterwards re-
turned to the Castle to annul..

The Archduke Constantine, the Emperor of Russia's
brother, and General Wittgenstein, arrived on Saturday
morning in London.
Almost all the travellers returning from France re-
late details of the grevious disappointments they have
endured in their ::ontinential excursions, and the grow-
ing antipathy of the French to the appearance of the
English in all their towns, public amusements, and par- •
ties. The curiosity of ma.ty emigrators has been com-
pletely satiated, and we only hope, that the report of
their comforts and toe r.rprwiiturc to purchase them in
France, will be correctly stated to their friends, and the
mania which has raged among all classes for a—Trip to
Paris.

Saturday se'nnight, a proposal was made by Govern-
ment to contract fin.Booo tierces of pork, ant! 5000 tierces
of beet flu. our West India Islands; these contracts were
tbrmerly made in America for cheapness ; the provisions
in that country are now at the rate of 51. ss. ) er barrel,
when the same kind in England am at 31. I Os.

The late almost continued rain has nearly suspended
all harvest work for the last eight days. Much wheat
still remains abroad in Suffolk ; and the barleys are
growing fitst upon the swathe, for little (comparatively)
of either that grain or oats has been carried in that
or any of the adjoinirg counties ; the difficulties of the
farming interest will therefore be increased beyond any
proceeding year in the memory of man.
Major General I-lope, commanding the forces in
North Britain, has, at the request of the Lord Provost
of Edinburgh, issued an order prohibiting the employ-
ment of soldiers in the harvest this season, and re-
calling such permissions as may have been already
granted for that purpose. " The indulgence (says the
order) allowed to the soldiers of assisting the farmers in
getting in their harvest, is intended for the benefit of
the country, and to get in the corn as fitst us possible in
plentiful seasons, but not by any means to interfere
with the usefitl employment of the ordinary husband-
man, or labouring poor, who at present sutler much
distress from want of work."

A meeting of the gentlemen, freeholders, and inlla-
biumts of the county of Salop, was held at tl:e Shire
Hall, in Shrewsbury, on Monday last, for the p,.,rp'..*e
of taking into consideration the most effectual means
of relieving the distresses of the manufacturing and la-
&Awing poor. Sir Thomas John Tyrwhitt Jones, Bart.
wa.s in the Chair. A subscription was proposed and
agreed to, and several resolutions were passed tar car-
rying it into effect. It was stated by Mr. Slaney, that
in the parish of llawley alone, comprising less than
4,000 acres, there are at present 650 men, women, and
children, totally destitute of every other support except
that of parochial or ekemosynary r,•lief; that there
are in the neighbourhood of Wellington alone between
.2 and 3,000 persons, who are either totally out of
work, or only partially employed; and that in the
county of Salop there arc about 12,000 persons in a
state of the utmost privation.

The Mayor of Liverpool has called a meeting at the
Town-hall fbr the purpose of taking into consideration
the pressing distresses of the poor, and to adopt some
measure for their relief.

At the Shropshire County Meeting, held at the Shire
Ball, on Monday, upwards of 2,5061. was subscrib,:d in
a few minutes.

The Magistrates of Wareham, in Dorsetshire, in con-
sequence of complaints of the beer vended by the pub-
limns of that town, who arc tenants to the brewers,
have resolved in future not to grant licences to Louses
so circumstanced.

1 It is said that three or four opulent millers, in the
county of Sussex, have ut this time sevet:d thousand
loud of wheat in their stores, which they purchased
when the prices did not exceed Wt. per load. •

EMPLOYMENT THE REST MEANS OF RELIEVING
THE POOIL

We are toli that a hive of youn, Bees wag earned

from Poland to Batavia, and there stationed in a de-
. 44160 garden, of large extent, furnished ‘vitli tine
richest profusion of fragrant herbs and flowers, where
plenty soon corrupted their disposition to labour ; and
the stock or honey which they collected, during the first
monilis of their settlement, was of little value ; awl as

the expeetcl winter did no ensue, and they continued

to enjoy abundance in this happy climate, they became
improvident of futurity, and were no lon,,er at the pains
to store their cells with what thol, which bountiful

Nature at all seasons provided tin- them. No less in-
jurious to mankind is that misapplication of wealth
which may serve to nourish sloth or to supersede the
ncoessity of huniati labour. The path of indostr., is
the path of wisdon and of peace. Industry tranquillizes
the mind—it gives light in darkness—it brings com-
fort in despair—it humanizes mankind—" sec simit esse
reros." Industry is the only cure fin- indigence. Property
may avail herself of the fetters which belong to aims,
and the Mahometan may build his hopes upon them ;
but the Church of • England is not content with such
inferior duties : her Members understand that a man
may bestow all his goods to feed the poor without Cha-
rity, and that without Charity, all he has done pro!itcth
him nothing. Charity gives a poor man ensidoyment, and
pays him srages'(the wages of virtue) ; but what is
gken ia alms, is received as the fruit of idleness. "If
every just man, that now pines with want," had but
employment given him, England-would be herself again:
remove the cause, and the effect will cease. Let then
the attention of the well-disposed be directed to the
rwpkyment of the poor ; and do not let them rest satis-
fied in giving the bread of idleness to those who, if they
can work, and will not work, have no title, either by
the laws of God or man, to eat bread.

Have we then no National impnwernents to betake
turselvcs to—no resources at home, where the indus-
trious poor may be tulvuntageously employed, both in a
tvinporary way as it regards themsAves, and in a per-
manent way us it regards posterity ?
h this Island arrived at sacs► a state of perfection,
tliat no new channel can be openei in which human
lalxmr can be wisely spent? He who will seriously
bend his inind to questions like these ; and can point
. .

out a way of applyino. human lalour in works condu-
cive to national wealth and prosperity ; awl is able to

.excite the generous sentiments and co-operations of the
Is;:bility and Gentry of this still favoured island in a
Nell-timpl application of his measures, will, in the pag-
cc:a of fa-ty thousand poun:ls as roams, rlo a thousand
ries wore real and substantial good than he wk.). hy ex-
caing then to acts qf generosity, can raise a
,l'und of
eighty thousand pounds to be girt'n lathe poor gratis, and

Founts, Tat.t.irfos—Tuestlayo' liarrid Garver was in-
dicted for receiving from Charlotte Antony two ulcer spoons,
the properly of.Georgesmishine, well knowing them to have
been stolen by the said Charlotte Antony.
Elizabeth Sunshine resided with her father, George Sun-
shine, in Cretwell•street, Spitaltimils; Charlotte Antony also
resides there with her grandfather, George Suessliime ; wit-
ness missed the Silooll4, and tin inquiry of Antony, she went
to the prisoner's house iu rryingpan•allty„ Petticoat-lane,
where she kept a bonnet shop, Inn Its ed principally by the
antient art of fortune-telling; witness at first pretended that
she wanted the future events of her life (I...closed to her, but
snout stated her real errand, and accused' her of having the
property in question this she denied with dreadful harpy°.
ati 11l but the witness told her, if she '.11,1 not return the
duplicates, she would take other means to obtain it; she then
lett the prisoner, and in about half an hour afterwards the
latter came to the witness's lattice's house, told her where
she lived, and brought her the duplicates, saying, " Here are
your duplicates, Charlotte brought them to me."
John Goadwell, a pawnbroker, produced the spoons, which
the prisoner had pawned with him; tic y were nest pawned
iii the name of (larva, but three days after she came and'had
it altered to that of Ann A iaterson.
Charlotte :Antony, grand-daughter of the proseentor, lived
in October last with her artiodfutlivr; latte:ly she had lived
at the Refuge for the Destitute ; in October last she went to
the prisoner about a bonnet, sailor the latter asked her to
have her fortune told, saying, " You aye keepitig company
with a yams; Man, and it he is not married he will appear to
you in a dark room." She then put witness into a dark room,
and while there, site saw something in the appearance ut a
man, which so terrified her that she fainted away, and was
tarried to a surgeon, who hied her and brought her to her
senses ; she paid the prisoner lid. for telling her fortune, but
not contented with that, the prisoner asked her if she could
not get NOM. thing to make money of, assuring her it would
never he found out. Witne-s at last went in and took the
spoon* in question, which she gave to the prisoutr, who want-
tl her to take an oath never to disclose olrat, she had dune,
but this the witness refused to do; she was therm prevai:eil
upon to return to-the prisoner's house, with whom she went
in the evening to the Royalty Theatre, and, after they re•
turned, the old wi etch, the prisoner, was ardent in her in-
treaties that the poor girl sl Id consent to su6snit to prostilit•
tion! One day she had gone out, and met the prison,T out
London Bridge, who asked her where she lead been since she
last seen her; if site bad been at home? and conch icde'uh by
saying," If you will come to Hooper's Garden: I have a niee
little room, and we will live together." Witness refused, and
when she returned to the Refuge for the Destitute she told
what had passed, in consequence of which the prisoner was
apprehended.—
