Qn account of the %Menu of thofe Minifters, it has been decreed in the diet, that this 'trembly fhall meet only once a week, provifienally, that is, on Monday : they even talk of fufpending the comitial fittings altogether. The deliberations on the Note of the Emperor of Ruffia, which have been begun, will not, it would Item, be carried on with aftivity.

Vrsr►sA, Auo. 2.—Our Court has for the fecond time, endeavoured to found the intention of the Ca binet of Peter(burgh, in regard to the meafute of acknowledging the new Emperor of the French ; but it has not yet received on that Cobra a categorical anfwer, and it appears that it therefore confiders itfelf difpenfed:from rendering hs own deliberations fubor dinate to diplomatic formalitie', the flownefs of which ' I might become prejudicial mita interifts.

FROM THE DUTCH PAPERS. Haoua, Auo. 2.—The Senator G AAAAA who occupies one uf the &It places in the Legion of Ho. flour, has been here fince the day before yellerday. It is Paid that General MLR moil. has let out for the Flemifh Coati, to hold confere nces with the Emperor and that he will again return t o the cam p at Zeift, where the Emperor is no longer expeofted.

A letter from Ghent, of the lath, lays, that apartments are ready, both there and at Brunets, fur the reception of tie Emperor.

We do not kn w whether the Emperor will vifit tMe camp at Zeit!, though. we ample this will be the cafe, as the magnificent preparations fcr his reception conti nue wit:trot interruption. The grand manoeuvres and firing, both with the artillery and fmall arms, which began laft Tuef day, are in future to be continued every Tuefday, as loon as General MARMOVT returns. About that time, tome more battalions are expefted in the camp. The troops who are there, have, with great labour, conftrufted barracks, in which, during bad weather, they miy depofit their effects, and even cover themfelves. From this it is concluded, that this camp will not break up for a long time. The trees planted before Come tents ; a (mall citadel, with four baftions, provided with artillery ; and half moon ditches, palliradoes, cafements, a draw-bridge, &c. all conftrufted before the tent of a Captain of the oth regiment, caufe particularly the admiratisin of viii tors.

Sc m unite, Aura. 58.—The arrival of upwards of 4o American (hips in the ports of this country, has not hitherto made the fmalleft impreffion on the prices of colonial produets. The object of placing fo formidage a camp at Zeiß begins in fume meafure to develope itfelf ; for, al though it was lat Ply arrested, and even generally thought, that that encampment would continue there for Come time to come, it teems now to be probable, that the confiderable force eolleeed in that camp will thertly be removed nearer to our coafli. There is e ven a report in circu lation that new preparations are about to be made, for our taking a further and (kill more salve part in the war on this fide. It is, how. ever, but mere report as yet ; though in Come fort confirmed by probability. On the 16th, the Legiftative Body commenced their extraordinary fitting an the Hague • when a propo fition was read from the Executive G over nment, to grant for four months, the weekly fom of 175 guil ders to the Council of the city of Enkhuifen, in con reguence of the decline of the Misery at that place, w hich was referred to the Committee of Finance. — After tome other domeftic affairs had been differed, of, the Affembly continued their fitting with flint. doors t and afterwards adjeutned to Tutfilay.

No one is ignorant that a very common method adopted by the French Government to publifh com ments on the proceedings of other States, without avowing them as its own prodalion, is by infecting letters in the Monirevr, as if from correfpondents at a dittance. Of this kind was the letter lately infected in that journal, dated from Conßantinople, but evi dently written in one of the Ft ench burro's, of which we laid a copy before our Readers. We now find in the Mositeur, of the s4th, an article dated the 6th of Augult from Ratilon, bat evidently derived from the time fource as the former, levelled againfl the Rime of Swans's, whom it treats with the utmort contempt and invalive.
