FOREIGN INTELLIG!,NCE.

PARIS, JAN. :;0.
We learn from Rouen, that the market for entt
,aI.IIS and span cotton, whidi took plow on the. 1701,
was much larger than it had been for a considerable
time betbrc. There wct sold at it 4,450 pieces of cotton
stuffs.

A rather remarkable trial is at present going on before
the Assize Court of Antwerp. The King of the Nether-
lands, with a view of indemnifying the inhabit.mts of
‘Vaterloo, lampoigns, Baisy, &e., for the losses they sus-
tained during the war, ordered the purchase of 2•'10
head of horned cattle, of the value of .2110 florins a piece,
and which were to be diet ibuted gratuitously among
Cie cultivators of those districts. The persons employed
by the Government to watch the cattle in an enclosure
procured a false mark to be ihbricated, which they ap-
pl'el to an equal number of lum animals, of the value
of about 40 francs each, and which they distributed
among the cultivators, after they had fradulently sold
the fat beasts, from which they found means to dike
fie mark. A foreign j, umai, in stating the particulars
this prosecution, says, that the Court had directed
fir the sitting of the 29th the actual appearance of ono
o: the lean kine, that the mark which it still bore might
bt• contrasted with the seal of Government.

The Chamber was again occupied, dining this sitting, in
do sites on the law respecting the journals.
M. tie Ooze, Minister of Police, defended at considerable
ie gth the conduct of his nn it department relative to the
jog raids. He frankly enough confessed, that it must be the
wi•h of the Government the could hardly say it WAS their
ha p ) that there shoold be only one opinion in France, and
II at their efforts ought to aim at this object; it was with a
sew of attaining it that Governrsent wished to place the
yen nlh under its own direction. lie acknowledged the
d ftienitit•s with which Government had had to struggle in
t rev ailing upon the editors of journals to keep within the
b nods of prudence on topics connected with the public sub-
sistence, au•i the relations Of France %Sitio tOreign states; and
es pr •ssed ItMisell surprised at the lightness with which vari-
ous Deputes had expressed themselves on these delicate sub-
jects. He maintained the doetrine, that no proprietor had a
to complain of the loss he sustained by the suppression
cf h s journal. The conduction of a journal was not, a proper-
ty, hint a concession from the King ; and no man 55 as entitled
to co mpla:n if that concession was taken from him for his own
na gc, t. On the return of the King, after the 100 days he
found die journals not only enslaved, but rimy of them torn
from their right owners. This property had been restored to
its old possessors, by giving them new pri%ileges ; but a con-
dition was thereto annexed, viz. that they should neither say
'tor rib!ish any thing that might be injurious to the tranquil-
lity of the kingdom. The suppression of various journals
'had been alluded to. Gel tainly till member would complain

f the suppression of the NaiiiJauar, the ernsetis, the 'Aria-
-14,1,11., the Diligent ; but the suppression of the Fidelc Aeni du
/fag had been blamed. On the lath r point he declined giv-
ing any explanation, but should confine himself to stating,
.that the editor of the l•'idele Ami was imprisoned, and his
paper suppressed, under the law of the ..29th October. He
concluded with sayinz. that whatever might have been done
at the elections for the Chamber, the result of them had al.
forded satisfaction to the crest body of the people.
After sonic farther debate, the Chamber divided, when
tl:ere appeared 123 in favour of the law, and 89 against it:
n.ajority 32.
In the Chamber of Peers the Election-law has been accept.
ed; but the majority for the law was not great, being only 13.

VIENNA, JAN. 15.—Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen

The Archduke Charles is recovered from his indispo-
sition.

The health of Prince Sehwartzenbcrg has inspired
much alarm, and thrown the whele city into consterna-
tion. The Emperor semt several times, both yesterday
and t.-day, to hear accounts of him.
The carnival here furnishes proofs of the distress of
the times. There has been only a small number of
private halls ; and at the ridotto, on the 12th, there

A German journal contains the following :—" The

HAMM:EMU, JAN. 3.—On the '2.lth of Dec. last a
general meeting of persons interested in the affairs of
the Bank took place in the great saloon of the Borsen-
ball. The president of the committee chosen to manage
this important business, Mr. &than, gave a very ample
report of the result of the endeavours of the deputation
slit to Paris, and lately returned from thence. The
French Government had made much opposition, and
telown only its willingness to restore that sum taken
away by General Gerard, who, in the name of Louis
XVIII., took the command cf the French corps here
from Da vonst, and which amounted t 01,800,000 francs,
b it at last it consented, as a particular mark of its friend-

national debt the sum of' 10 millions, to be inscribed

ROYAL PROCESSION .IND OUTRAGE.

Tuesday being tlle day appointed for the opening of the Session of
Parliament, the Prince Regent went in his private carriage from
Carlton house to St. James's Palace, at half-past one o'clock, where
mast of the Royal cstablishmatt were in rcutlinos to receive his
Higlinets.

The concourse of people assembled was mnch greater than has
been witnessed on any similar occasion since the ::.tack made upon
the King in SL James's I'ark, in the year Mt. on the return of
the Royal procession. the violent malcontents had increased consider-
ably in numbers in the streets, and on its antra= into the Mall of
St..lane:s's Park, they broke out inta acts of tumult and violence,
accompanied with the most foal, shocking, and insulting language ;
gravel, stones, aall other things, were thrown at the Royal carriage,
and at the military; the Life Guardsmen were insulted with the
most scurrilous language ; the gauss of the door of the State carriage
on the near side, was broken three time:,.; first, on its entrance into
the Mall, then abut the centre, and again near the Stable-yard gate.
On the Prin:e Regent alighting from the state carriage, he in-
formed Sir Nathaniel Conant, who was in attendance, of the outrage-
ous and violent atm its which had been made by the populace in the
Park t and immeliately atta the I)ake of Montrti:e went off, with
all poi.ible speed, to Viscount Sidmouth, fur his assistance, and the
assistance of those under him, to endeavour to discover the of-
fenders.

'FE,. Prince Regent even went in his private carriage to Carlton-
lltnise, where Lord Sidmouth arrived •:virtly afterwanlv, as did the
Duke of York, the Duchess of (iluue:ster, and the Duke of Glou-
cest,-r.

violence of the populace wan directed, not only to the !loyal
carriage and the Life Guartlsmen, but also to the horsee; they re-
peatedly called out Down with them," fic. At the time die pro-
cession was piosin„,, between the entrance to St..fames's Palace in the
Park and the Stable-pull gate. two quiet spectators seized a man who
was insulting and assaulting sonic Life Guardsmen, when Atttield
and Garton, two of the officers belonging to the Worship-street Po-
lice Office. who were stationed near the spot on duty. came up and
secured hint : a desperate attack was then nuale.—Mr. Diff:trd, the
Police .Magistrate of Worship-street. who was near the spot, came up
with Fcv oral other officers, to give their assistance the attelopt at
rescue still continued ; but Mr. Clifford commanded the assistance of
several of the Life Guardsmen to protect him and the Officers, with
dui; prisonet, which th 7 accordingly did, and conducted him to the
large mom in St..fames s Palace, set apart for the Yeollll4ll of tile
Guard. The Magistrates then proceeded to take the charge of Mr.
Chambers and Mr. Walton, who Were spectators of the transaction
in the Park; and from which it appeared. that they had heard the
prisoner make use of the most violent and abusive langua.,'e; had
seen hint throw gravel atones, and had struck at a Life Guardsman,
or his horse, with his umbrella.
. . . .

. •
The prisoner, being called upon for his defence, denied the charge,
hut said he supposed somebody must he apprehended, and he hail
been selected for the reward.—The Magistrates repelled this insinua-
tion, assuring him there was no reward for such an offence as that
with which he was charged. This, however, did not satisfy the pri-
soner, who asserted, that if there was not a public reward, there
would be a private one.—The account he gave of himself was, that
his name was Thomas Scott, and that he resided in Goodge-street,
Tottenham-court-road, and we understood him to say at No. 20; he
was neither trade nor profession, but lived upon his property. lEs
hands did not appear as if he had been accustomed to work. He
wore a large plan ring, and was respectably dressed.—He was com-
miued for further examination.
BOW-STREET.—Wednesday', the above-mentioned Themes Scott
was brought before Mr. Hicks, charged with being concerned in
the outrage and tumult in St. Janie's Park, on Tuesday.—William
Mayortek, a private in the First Regiment of Life Guards, stated,
that he was on duty in the Park, on Tuesday. On the return of
the Prince Regent through the Perk. front the House of Lords,
there was an immense concourse of people following the procession,
hooting and groaning, and using many abusive and disloyal expres-
sions, such as, " there he goes," (meaning the Prince Regent)
" throw, throw, hit hint, pull him out," &c. The prisoner was
most forward in crying out. At this moment he saw Mr. Chambers
seize the prisoner, when a scuttle ensued, and Mr. Chambers was
thrown down. Witness then went to the assistance of Mr. C. and
after a desperate struggle, the prisoner was secured. Witness met
with several severe blows in assisting to take the prisoner into cus-
tody.—Mr. Chambers deposed, that he was in St. James's Park on
Tuesday. On the return of the Prince Regent from opening the
Session of Parliament, as the procession was moving on between
Marlborough Gardens and the Stable-yard, there was an immense
concourse of people pressing on both sides of the Hovel carriage,
hooting, and. calling out •• d—n his eyes, down with him." at the
same tune calling the soldiers by very gross names, and telling them
they ought to go to 11-11, or words to that effect. The prisoner was
very forward, and using most vociferous language. Ile called the
Lite Guards a set of rascals, d—d them, and said, " they ought all
to be sent to hell." Ile conceived his conduct to be very improper,
and seized him by the collar, and dragged hint some distance, when
there was a general cry of " Rescue. rescue, dont let him he taken,"
and the mob at the same time rushing foe ward, attempted to rescue
the prisoner. Mr. C. was now about to be overpowered, when May-
cock and others came to his assistance, and the prisoner was, with
much slifficulty, secured and delivered over to the police officer in at-
tendancp Witnnes didnotose the prisdber throw any thing, but saw
himstrike Maycock with an umbrella. Ile thought him the moat for-
ward of any in the mob.—Two other persons deposed topthesame
effiet as the lust witneps.—Mr. I l icks then asked the pr isonerwha t he hat!
to say in answer to the charges that the witness had made against him
—The prisoner denies! having been at all concerned with the mob in
their outrageous proceedings, and said, that he went to the Park
merely out of cusiesity.—Mr. Ilicks—•• Prisoner at the bar: you arc
not, perhaps, aware of the nature of the awful charge preferred against
you—know then, that you are strongly suspected of having thrown at
the royal carriage, and if that charge can be proved, you will be com-
mitted to take your trial for no less a crime than that of lligh Trea-
son ! i shall now remand you till Saturday ; you will then be
brought up for further examination, and it is my positiveorder, thaf
all the witnesses do attend at twelve o'clock on that day "—One us
the Magistrates front the Worship-street Police Office assisted at the
esamination, and stated that sonic person had mentioned to hint hit
Navin;; seen a 'tam actually throw at the Regent's carriage, and the
the deseriptiou given by this prison of the man. tallied with the a).
pearanee of the prisoner. This person, the Magistrate observed.
won't{ be in attendance on Saturday.—The prisoner asked to be ad-
mitted to bath, but was refused.

At half-past twelve o'clock on Saturday, the examination of Thomas
Scott. dinged with being one of the pennni, who committed the
atrocious outrages against the person of his floral Highness the
Prince Itcgint on Tuesday last, was resumed before Mr. Hicks and
Mr. Ufford, the Nlagistrates.
Lord .lan les Murray was examined. His Lordship, after re-stating
tl.c whole of his evidence, as it appears in the Commons report of
Tuesday, :aided, that he went to the Park on Friday for the purpose
of ascertaining the precise spot where the carriage was attaoke.l. and
found a great many stones there—lookal into the trees, and was as.
totiislitd to tint that. between Marlborough.hotta. and the Stable-
yard, is very ether tree there were a great many very large stones.
His I a o dsbip then withdrew.
All the depositions taken on the first examination were then raid

he thought would be necessary to the defence of the prisoner on his
