THE NATION AT REGISTER.

Wt: have received the Parrs Papers of Tuesday and
Wednesday last. They are still profoundly silent upon
the rumuifthia.cOnspiracy of which so much is said in
this country.''' flat' their silence is well supplied by the
state of the public funds, whose continued rise, (the
five per cents being 7.51 on Tuesday) constitutes, we
apprehend, a legitimate ground for cemeluding that
nothing had occurred which could be considered as af-
fecting in the slightest degree, the stability of the Go-
vernment. If the alleged plots had been elther formi.
dable or.extemiive, the knowledge .of them would have
diffused itself orally throughout The ca.ital, notwith-
standing any measures fur impslng strict silence upon
the press; and the effect of that knowledge would have
been visible in the depression of the money-market,
which is a most sen►itive criterion of pulflic alarm.

A Dutch Mail arrived yeste:Aar. An article from
the French frontiers, dated the :;,.1 instant, after men-
tioning th., departure of the Duke of \I ellington from
Cambray for Paris, observes that his Grace is still
deeply engaged in mediating between Spain and Por-
tugal. It is add,al that no doubt is entertained of his
Grace's being present at Aix-la-Chapelle, in order to
declare, " in person his opinion respecting the evacua-
tion of the French territory by the Allied Troops."
The peculiar situation of the Duke may justly entitle
him to the distinguished exception from the declared
intentions of the Al'led Sovereigns, that no Diplomatic
Representative from any Court should be present at
their .meetings.
•It is understood that the Emperor of Austria will
visit the herokquarters of Gener.d.frimont, in Alsace,
before he goes to Aix-in-Chapelle.

Ihe differences between the Grand Duke of Meilen
and the'King of Bavaria, do not appear to be adjusted
yet. An article from Carlsruhe, mentions Allot the
Baden Minister had quitted 'Munich some time since,
toul that'thc Bavarian Minister, who had been absent
from Baden above a twelvemonth, was rreiraring to
bare his effects removed from the botetocenpied by the
Embassy. Hopes are still entertained that an amicable
arrangement may be made, because of the peasonal
f:ieudshin subsisting between the two Princes. •

By 'papers from Canada to Ist June, we learn that
considerable disroutent prevails in that pmrinie.. The
whole: district of Niagara, having adopted the princi-
ples,.and proceeded according to the advice of a Iklf.
Gourley, in tu, address to the resident landholders,
every• township held meetings, and have each chosen a
representative. Those representatives (16 in number,
among Whom are several magistrates) have met, and
chosen four to repres..:nt the district of the Provincial
•Convention„appointed to meet at 'York, Upper Canada,
on the Gth in order 'to send Commissioners to
'England, with an address to his Rural Highness the
Prince Regent, respecting ,the conduct of the Local
Government. The Committee of die Niagara District
have invited others to fullow•their example. Saturday
6th June, was appointed for Township Representa-
tives. Mu& .injury lard been done by tire in Lower
Canada, in the woods. At the German *ettlement
of the Clatadiere,..and. in that of the Seigniory of St.
Gabriel, several houses and a quantity of cern had been
destroyed.
By the Ramburgh mail, which arrivea on Friday,
we are informed that the 'Dowager Queen of Sweden
died on the 23d ult. having survived his Nlajesty the
lute King, only between four and five months.
The .Ilterncine Zeitung ussum the world, that the
manutixtures of Germany and Switzerland have at-
tained a considerable pre-eminent over those of die
British loom. The German inanufitetnres,tornp:irative-
ly with those of England, must therefore enjoy a pros-
pewits-trade, if there be any sense or consistency in the
paper which furnishes the above triumphant statement'
Of their excellence ; and as the success of the British
merchants in 'foreign countries was the only ground
aCknowledged for that inveterate hatred which it
seemed to be the object of certain writers to excite
.against the name of England, we may now, perhaps,
entertain some hope that our alleged misfortunes will
conciliate the compassion of those who firmerly envied
us—that as our wares degenerate our popi:laritv
flourish; and that alew more unlucky •t:peenlitthns
among the Germ:att.:4:s must earn flu. Zuglishmen the
warmest panegyrics in the pages of thpc Algemeine
Z•iihntr ;•Our theory on this subject womhl not indeed
be easily made intelligible to the zealots of what may
be termed meccnatile faction ; for we can assure our
' continental competitors, that the enEghtencd part of
the English nation consider the prosperity ott•Swiss. and
French, and Dutch, and Russian, and German corn.-
' mcrec, as ia the highest degree condueive,'il not ab-
solutely essential, to that of die inaiusfactures and CUM-
move of Great Britain.
