We have now the certainty that the Duke of Wel lington will come anti pass some time in this city, as socn as the Court is arrived here. FRANKFORT, AUGUST 17. The Prince and Princess of Orange arrived here yesterday; the Princess will embark to-morrow on board the yacht which has been waiting here to go on to Biebrich. The Prince will to-morrow pay a visit to Prince William of Prussia at Schlangenbad, and then go to join his consort at Biebrich, whence their Highnesses will continue their voyage next day to Coblentz. GHENT, AUGUST tn. We have the extreme SiiiislitetiOn to announce, that happy news has been received from the Hague rela• tive to the interests of our matmfactures. The ma nufacturers have always founded their hopes on the personal' Intentions, the judgment, and the love of our august Sovereign for his people. Their hopes will be justified. Great mischief has been done : to 'repair it, if possible, there is ;...:d of well concerted measures, ♦igilxnt execution of them, and siucaely directed to prevent the return of the evil. VIENNA, AUGUSC to. A short time since the Emperor went to Schoen. .brun with his two daughters, and the little King of Rome, to see the young lion which the Princess of Wales has lately presented to his Majesty ; the lion being very young is nursed by two goats; on the approach of the Archduchesses, one of the goats tame forward menacing with her horns, seeing which, little Bony ran to the goat, to( k hold cif. her horns, and said very quietly to his aunt," voriqourezftarser maintenant, ma Liar, n'agrz pa: parr, jrla retienr."— The Emperor was extremely pleased, saying to him, " That is we!l my b•)y, I lake you for that, kali see you choose t:► right way where there is danger." He is a great favourite with the Emperor, as ►sell as with every body ace, for he is a remarkably fine boy. FR ENCiI 1).41) PER S. PARIS, AUGUST _22. Prince TAll4rand teas returned to Paris. The Dutch Government has joist ordered the con struction, in the citadel of Tc;urnay, of a powder tnap..,azine capable of contitinin ; ; a million of pounds. At this time hull-fights are exhibiting at Bayonne similar to those in Spain. We :rust this new kind of spectacle will not reach the capital. VENICE, AUGC ;* r 5. The Albanian and Mani•.t corsairs appear to brave the Porte by the excesses wAch they have perpetra ted ever since they learned the sailing of the Turkish squadron. Acccunts have been received th.tt at Pa tras they effected a landing, and laid hold of the of ficers of the customs and the public chests; that a Turkish post was assassinated ; and that at last they returned on board after burning several vessels in the port. This news causes'alarm here, and is very in jurious to commerce. Such are the inconveniences of not having a re spectable navy, we we compelled to depend on the Porte or on England. The Powers of Italy now la- ment the system which has placed their marine at the discretion of the English. The lattei do not pro- tect trade in so effectual a manner as we could do ourselves. In fact, the expenses of a navy in the dif ferent States of Italy would cost kss than the losses they sustain. ALGHIERI, AUGUST 8. . . We learn that the pirates put all their vessels to sea, and that they mean to make new incursions on our coasts. It would appear, therefore, that the war pith which they are threatened has been only the sig nal with them for new robberies. We arc arming on all our coasts. Every where the authorities have given the necessary orders for avoiding a surprise, and opposing to them a sufficient force in case of their landing. It as still said that Lord Exmouth is long coming, and that the Americans have anticipated him. If we are to believe the reports which come from Bar bary, the Algerine troops are retiring into the inte rior, and leaving the towns deserted. It would re quire 40,000 men to effect a decisiTe landing; but the English fleet is far . from having any considerable force on board. However, it would be a great point to burn all their vessels. MAESTRICHT, AUGUST 14. Would it be believed that there are still to be found in our country men blind enough to the political state of Europe, and of the Netherlands in particu lar, to dare to manifest in public their attachment to an order of things which so long caused general mis fortune ? Are we not rather entitled to suppose that such madoess can be only the fruit of the reading of that multitude of seditious writings with which auda cious foreigners inundate Belgium, in order to flatter the guilty hopes of their adherents ? The Civil Tribunal of Maestricht . has lately tried one Hubert Joseph Cbarlier, of Viso, for having called out on the Meuse bridge, between that town and Wych 4' Live Napoleon ! I hope he will soon' return I" He was condemned to only a short imprisonment on account of his having been in a state of intoxication at the time, and because his object was not so much to excite to sedition against the Government, as to express his personal feelings towards the Usurper. PRIVATE LETTER. _ " pews, AUGUST 21. 44 Mr. Wilson, Consul of the United States at Vanua, had several warm ditcassiona with the Com- • ,•Mr• * missary, who.endeavonreil to object the American' 1 merehant"Captains to iiinute and,yexatious fonnali- 1 ties, which materially infringed on all liberty of cam. , merce. In the heat of argument Mr. -- not , only arrogantly criticised the supposed tendency of the Consul's political opinions, but, losing all temper. remonstrated with veb mence against his preserving an eagle at his gatesif nd enjoined him to have it in stantly removed. Mr. Wilson naturally.insisted on preserving inviolate the emblematic arm's of his coun try and Government. The Commissary, accustomed to passive obedience, sent an armed fork to carry off the Betusm of the United States. This insult, how ever, did not remain long unredressed. Mr. Wilson forwarded energetic complaints . to Paris. The Mi nister deputed an Inspector-General of Police, who, after having investigated the affair, made every pro per excuse, when the arms of America were solemnly replaced. " M. de Talleyrand arrived in Paris yesterday.— He wid remain here a few days to assist at the ap proachhig Fete of Saint Louis, and will then return to Valencay. 46 The late accounts from South Ameriza, which have appeared in the French Papers, make conside rable sensations here. They have given rise to an idle report of Joseph, Bonaparte's brother, being called to the throne of Mexico. The success of Hunibert and his companions, who are represented as the leadeis there of a numerous army, produce a general wish in the French officers on half pay to emigrate to that country. The Editors of all the French Papers have in consequence received orders to make no further in. sertions relating to the events in South America. " A Monsieur de Murat had a been applying for some time for leave to add to his name that of d'Au vergne, the province from which he comes, that he might not be confounded with the late Sovereign of Naples. He had so far succeeded, that he had pre vailed on the Chancellor to lay before the King for that purpose an ordonnance ready for the royal sig nature. His Majesty, however, objected to the ap plication, saying--6 Fshould be happy to gratify this gentleman, bit I cannot decently give him the name of one of my provinces. If he is determined to dis tinguish himself by some addition to his name, let him call himself Murat rifirrergodt.' " THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. MZTRODIS?4, No. IV. will appear To-menow.

Ezebequer Bills, 31. 6b. pre. Yesterday a Flanders Mail arrived, and also the French pape.s of Thursday. The opening of the German Diet has, it is said, been farther postponed, till the great questions involving the future fate of Germany have been sealed by itustria and Prussia. It so, it matters not whether the Diet meet at all. What was the complaint against the order of things sa hap pily overturned by the late efforts of the united forces of Europe; but that one great Power took oral itself to dictate to all the minor States. If the same authority is to be assumed by two Powers, the minor States may be called upon to register their decision, hut they will never yield a hearty concurrence to measures calculated to destroy their individual laic pendence. . The Algerine troops have, it is said, been marched into the interior : if so, the port towns are to be left to their fate. In the mean time the corsairs continue their depredations, and harass the trade of the Me diterranean. In consequence, the Italians complain that 46 the English, forsooth, do not protect them as effectually as they could themselves !" Who hinders them from protecting themselves ? Let them set about it. It is their right and their duty. England will never attempt to prevent them. It is again stated, but we have no decisive intelligence of the fact, that the Americans have bombarded Algiers. The Order of Malta appeals to have received exerste unction from the EMPEROR of AUSTRIA. The present members are to be suffered to die off, when the pro perty of the Order will be disposed of. TALLEYRAND returned to Paris on Tuesdayevening. The Paris Paper le Fiat .efsii du Roi, suspended for inserting some statements respecting the disturb ances at Nancy and Strasburg, was restored to circu- lation on Tuesday. None of the other Paris Papers have yet mentioned these disturbances. A Mail from Holland arrived this morning. The Dutch Papers inform us, that the French Govern ment now finds the Northern Departments so loyal and tranquil, that several persons who were impri soned for political offences have been set at liberty. Probably the recent re-employment of many of them as Military Officers has allayed their tuiliplent disposi. tions. The Plague still rages in Constantinople and its vicinity. Its ravages have now extended to the esta blishments of the Foreign Ambassadors "to the Pone. The prevalence of this disease, so near the interior of civilized and Christian Europe, is almost as great a reproach as the continuance of the Slave Trade, or of the Piracies in the Mediterranean. A small expe tion of Medical Officers, sent oat to Constantinople and authorized to adopt such regulations of Medical Police as should to them seem expedient, would soon banish this scourge from mankind. The Turkish Government has no right whatever to propagate plague and pestilence among neighbouring nations; and it would not be amiss if Lord Eastern' was in. structed to announce this doctrine from the guns of a British 74. BRUSSELS, AUGUST IL We learn from the French frontiers that the thiad line of Cusuanloaiss is already organised, and dm the Gigues do their duty with uncoMmon strictnett,l and seem particularly to guard against the introduce l tion of British and Netherlands woven goods. The troops of the Army of Occupation, when they assist in stopping them, receive a fifth put of the valde, and this has several times happened, among others to the Danish troops. On the coast the officers are extremely vigilant in preventing the operations of the British* smugglers who very frequently come to the coast in the night with prohibited goods. lin the Nurth of France all is now quiet ; in some places several persons who were in prison or under the surveillance of the police, have been again set at liberty. The French Government has excepted from the general prohibition two Netherland Journals published here. MUSSELS, AUGUST 21. Besides the line of fortresses destined to cover our country on the south side, between the Maese and the sea, a line is to be mad; between Maestricht and Namur, on both banks of the Maese. The town of Huy is to be included in this line, and the citadel of Liege, it is said, is to be strengthened. The Field Marshal very minutely noted all these positions, and it seems that the plan for the defence of the Maese will be more speedily executed than was lately supposed. The Field Marshal, on his arrival at Va lenciennes, had a short interview with the English Commandant, General Colville, and immediately went on to Cambray, where he intended to stop A shot time. The regiments of cuirassiers, dragoons, and hussars, which are organized at Lille, Douay, and Arras, have received within these few days, the necessary horses and many recruits, a considerable part of whom are old s 4diers, so that it is calculated that these se veral corps, which are animated with a very good spirit, will soon be complete. The Northern De partments still furnish many recruits for the Royal Guard. The Minister at War has written a circular letter to the Prefects, in which he says, that his Ma jesty feels a pleasure in being surrounded by his chil dren from the Northern provinces, who have never ceased to give proofs of attachment to his person. VIENNA, AUGUST i t. According to a letter written from Jassy, by an Austrian subject, there is every reason to be satisfied with the effects of the firman of the Grand Seignior issued in February last. The navigation on the Da nube, from Belgrade to the Black Sea, is no longer impeded by the arbitrary proceedings of the Paellas. It is said that the English Ambassador Lord Stewart, on the application of one of the Ministers, has given up again to Madame Murat the chateau of Haimburg, which she had been forced to leave. CASSEL, AUGUST 16. A little difference has arisen between our Cnnrt and that of Prussia. As Mr. Vo n ‘ Flantein, the Prus sian Minister to our Court, has been appointed to the office of Minister from that Monarchy to the Diet at Frankfort, his Majesty the King has named Mr. Von Zastrow to be his successor here. The Elector, for reasons which are not known, has not confirmed this choice by Lis approbation, and has requested that Prussia would appoint some other Minister to reside here. But as the King has insisted tht Mr. Ven Z istrow shall remain at his post, the Elector has re called his Minister from Berlin ; and thus s e are on the point of seeing the diplomatic relations between the two States cease. CONSI'ANTINOPLE, JULY to. On the 5.h of this month di:d 0: a sudJt.n butt na. tural death, the Prince Alexander Mourousi, forrnnly the Hospodar of Moldavia, who was universally esttemed, and was also in high favour with the Porte. Two of his brothers perished under the hantli of the executioner, and the third was murdered. Thus lie died almost at the same time as his Termer comp niln and colleague Prince Yp:ilante, who dir.., n the Bth at Kiow. The Mufti, who was discharged and banished a few months ago, is now pardoned, and bas returned to Constantinople. The plague has now penetrated to Bujukderc, whither the foreign Ambassadors had retired from Pera. On the day when the French Ambassador, the Marquis de la Riviere, paid a visit to the Reis Effendi, the interpreter Deval, who attended him, fell sick, and soon after died. But before this symptom of the dreadful disease had :hewn themselves in the Hotel of the Russian Embassay, and the sick gardener of Prince Italinsky had bees sent to the Lazzaretta.— The inhabitants of the whole neighbourhood are in anxious expectation. The malady of the PIUNCE REGENT was an infi itn- nation of the Peritoneum (the membrane which surrounds the intestines), his - Royal Highness was relieved by copious bleeding ; but for two days the symptoms were most alarming. It was not till Fi i• day last, that he was able to sign the commission for the prorogation of Parliament. Her MAJESTY, on Tuesday, left Windsor with the intention of paying him a visit at the Stud-house, but was prevailed on to return without seeing him, in consequence of the extreme violence of the disorder. The family of Sir BICNJAIIIN B4OOIIFInn were removed from the house, that the most perfect quiet might be kept. On the Wednesday morning, the disease was conquered-- and though the evacuations he underwent necessarily reduced him grndy--Ae gradually gained strength, and is now happily re-established. Oa the Tuesday Ministers were so apprehensive of the event, that a Cabinet Council was held. ' We are greatly concerned to announce the death ' of CHAIM= TAYLOR, M.D. for many years Secretary to the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Ma nufactures, and Commerce. He died on Saturday last, after a severe illness. His memory will be long cherished with affection, not only by his rela. ' titres, but by a numerous circle of most respectable friends, to whom he had endeared himself by his unwearied urbanity aad philanthropy. It will be dif ficult to find a successor every way as well qualified .for the impoetaat Age which is rendered vacant by his death. ria ARMY. gainrch t morning the Duke of 110PIC TPV:eirei tour troops of the 10th Regiment Royal Hussar s a t Brighton.
