and iffl who have occasion to recur to the fad;
basis of History, have always set a high value;
as present the prominent events of the passat4
perspicuous and concise form ; and, in fact, the Public
indebted M those who devote industry and capital to
compilations, mpeelally when theft prodectioes are charac:
_deed by moderation sad leapaniall. Ii these respects the
Assad &OW has aiWays stead high m a fork of general
coven and great utility; sad rreakely Is proportion to ha mite
and usefulness wets the regrets experksiesd by the Public edit
length of time it was allowed to get in arrears. In common
with many others we have often felt the want of this valuable
work when we wished to get at some fact by an easy reference;
and we cannot but congratulate those wise have felt the same
want oa the prospect now afforded, by the zeal and industry of
Messrs. Knowles's, to have the chasm filled up.
We were glad, some time ago, to find that the Publishers had
judiciously resolved to furnish the Public wick a record of tl.
current period, while at the same time the Registers for the
time still in arrears were.to be hastened forward with all pos..
slide diligence ; and we were not a little gratified, within these few
weeks, when a volume for the year 1810 (the first of his present
Marzerr's refire) made its appearance. The volume for 1797, and,
within these few days, the volume for 1810, have also been pub-
lished. That for 171 M is to make its appearance in a few'rnonzl.;
the volume for 1811 is to follow it speedily ; and the volume ice
the second year of his Majesty's reign is announced to make i!s
a eon the 24 of December! It is impossible to with.
praise from such diligence—and more especially when, ry,
perusing the volumes which Dave just appeared, it is found that
this speed is not obtained by anything like a slovenly discharge
of the dudes which devolve on the Publishers in making
volumes a faithful, impartial, and com;rrhensive record of the
important events that filled the period to which they refer. To
withhold praise from the Publishers on the present OCCUjr,n
would be ungrateful, and we are confident that they will find in
the best mark of public approbation—an extensive sale—a full
restard for their zeal and industry. Three or four volumes yearly
will soon fill up the present chasm, and then many who dislike
L the appearance or an imperfect work, will rejoice in giving the
Amami Register a place in their lib vies.—

We have received the French Papers of Wedne;day
last, but they possess little interest. The CourOlar-
tial at Tours has commenced its sittings for the trial
of the Saumur Insurgents, and although very littl2
of the proceedings have been suffered to transp:.e,
yet we learn that the professed object of the conspi-
racy was the expulsion of he BOURBONS, and tl:e
elevation of NAPOLEON 11. to the Throne of France.—
The Monne''r publishes a Royal Ordonnance on the
subject of Custom-house duties affecting certain
ar-
ticles of foreign merchandise imported into France.
It confirms, Ist, the Ordonnance of the 31st of Ortc-
ber, 1821, modifying the import duty on foreip
wools, and the premiums on exportation of cict:r,
whether entirely woollen or mixed ; 2d, the Ordcr.-
nance of the 3d of November, 1821, prollib:til,
otherwise than in transit'', the importation of irca
bars (not hammered); 3d, it extends the restrictive
provisions of the latter Ordonnance to hammerel
iron, if smelted over coal furnaces, and to all sorts ct
iron if attempted to be introduced by the land fren•
tier: some specific duties are afterwards imposed ca
cattle, sheep, pigs, &c. imported ; on provisions, fresh
and salted ; and on one or two other articles.
The following are extracts :
PARIS, APRIL 24.
It is confirmed by various communications that part of
Austrian troops forming the garrison of the fortresses in
Milanese and Venetian territory, is to march to Dahriatia
observe the motions of the Ottoman troops that are col ectirg
Turkish Dalmatia. It is affirmed that a Parka, *kb a
rout suite, has already arrived at Mortara. The Austrian
quarters will be at Zara. They write from Zante, tinder
date of the 7th of March, that the Greek and Tartish
are in sight of each other. Hitherto they have ~mated

selves ith observing each other.

We have just received letters from Vienna of a

" It is considered as certain that on the itSth of this '

thee peace will be maintained."

The only article of the slightest interest they contain
is another version of the recent naval engagement
between the Turks and the Greeks, from a very ques-
tionable source, the Oriental Spectator, in which it is,
stated that eighteen Greek vessels were observed to
be wanting, but the fate of them was unknown. An
article f►om Zante states, that three towns in the
'lorea, which were occupied by the Greeks, had al-
ready surrendered to the Turks.

Quebec Papers have arrived this morning to the
I:3Lb of March, from which we give the following:

QUEBEC, MARCH 12.

There are now building in this port six square-
rigged vessels, amounting to abOUt 1,600 tons of
shipping. The men employed for that purpose ex-
ceed 140, and the wages given range between 3s. 6d
~.111.1 4s. 6J. per day. This employment for unsettled
labourer., almost the only one, except that given at
the King's wo: ks, has afforded substantial relief to
many poor families. It is, no doubt, RI the powe
of persons having capital to employ it, during our
severe winter, and when labour is so scarce, both ad.
vAntageously to themselves and to the labouring
classes, who are in many instances reduced to abso-
lnte want, and who, notwithstanding what is daily
said to the contrary, are, in general, very unwillingly
forced to appeal to the public kindness.
The Autora, of the 45th March, contains the fol.
lov. ing reti.a: ks on the documents lately comlnuni-
ca:ed to Congress :

•• In relation to the transactions in Ulna, thedficial accounts
go farther than we have done with respect to the conduct of
(kneral Sc. Martin and Lord Cochrane, both of whom the oa-
c:al di-patches bold forth in a point of view that is odious;
though there are some points which are not yet sufficiently elu-
cidated to found a positive judgment upon. Perhaps it may not
be amiss to refer to those transactions thrown upon Admiral
Cochrane : for example, he was ordered by St. Martin to strike
the flag of Chili, under which helpless commissioned, and to
hoist the flag of Peru—the Cross and of the Sun. Cochrane
absolutely refused and returned to Chili, and after making his
report, hailed in pur,uit of some Royal vessels. It is statel, by
the way of Mexico, that I.erd Cochrane has signified his intim-
tiin to retire and to rt turn to Europe; and that Commodore
3flar.co is to take the command. Commodore Blanco is a near
rtlation to Colonel Cortes,•lately arrived from Mexico on a mis-
sion to the United States ; and the Ambassador, of whom he is
the precursor, is also a family connection, that is. M. Elizalda."

Yesterday morning, tile Governor and Deputy aO-
- of the Bank of England had a meeting with
-the Earl of LIVERPOOL and the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER, :It Fite House, Whitehall.
In addition to the Princess AUGUSTA, the Duchess
of KENT, the Princess SOPHIA MATILDA,the Princess
FEODOR, &c. dined with the Duke and Duchess of ,
Gr.ottcEsTrit on Thursday, to celebrate the Duchess's
Birth-day. The evening party to tea, &c. consisted
cf about forty particular friends of their Royal High-
nctws. Tie Royal Duke's band of the 3d Regiment
cf Rot Guards attended in full uniform.

Tuesday, the respectable and loyal tradesmen of
Cospoit 1-ad a grand Ball at the Star Inn Assembly
/toms, in honour of his -MAJESTY'S Birth• day, which
was well attended, and kept up with spisit till a.very
.late hour.

Madame Cu RI&TOPH ci•levant Empress of Hayti,
is about to take up her residence at Blackheath. It
is generally understood that she has saved about
I.:1500 per annum, from the wreck of her deceased
husband's fortune.

We understand that the young Lady who makes
her debut in Juliet, on Monday next, at Drury-Lane
Theaue, is really not yet seventeen years of age ; and'
bring the daughter of that great and deserved fa-
vourite, Mrs. GLOVER, the Public will doubtless make
allowances for any deficiency that youth and inex-
perience may well excuse. Mrs. GLOVER, with the
amiable, and natural feelings of a mother, anxious
for the success of her child, undertakes the pat t of the
Nurse, which will give a strong additional effect to
the performance.

A duel was to have taken place yesterday betweenl
. 10Ir. M-24, a surgeon, and Mr. B—T ; but the friends
of tha former prevented the affair taking place, by
'causing him to be taken into custody on the ground,
*sat Hounslow lleath, and he was held in sureties to
keep the peace.

Two law students, of Paris, fought a duel in the
tots de Boulogne on Tuesday, which proved fatal to
tone of the seconds. On arriving on the ground they
drew lots, as is the custom in France, for the first fire.
The one w whom fortune proved favourable fired in
the air. His opponent flied on on. side, and unfor-
tunately killed (ine of the seconds. Alarmed at this
laistentAble accident, the young man fled, and has not
since been heard of.

. The French Papers contain a ridiculous story respecting Lord
Onto», which we give yt their own words :—C After an auas-
'dilation committed on a Colonel by a domestic and in the house
et Lord Byron. the Noble Peer of Great Britain is at present io
prison ; but they do not name the Colonel. One atcuunt lays
the scene another at Pavia, and to complete the moo.
mhaliiiity, they mate the news come from Rome." It it had
