Buenos Ayres Gazettes to the 28th October have arrived. That of the 9th September contains the fol lowing account of the manner in e which the troops on board the Trinidad (one of the transports which sailed from Cadiz in May last) were received by the inha bitants of Buenos Apes : " On Sunday last the friends of liberty, from the Trinidad Spanish ship, made their public entrance into this capital. The troops of the garrison formed themselves into columns in the streets, front the Reeidencia to the. Place de la Victoria, and our new guests marched between. them. The national standard was carried by the famous Remigo Martinez, whom the Govern meat has lately advanced to the rank of Lieutenant of our armies. This exhibition was truly a great triumph. The con course of people, the acclamations and other ordinary and extra ordinary demonstrations of joy, were such as can only be con ceived on this happy occasion. Our new comrades having ar rived at the Place de la Victoria, the Brigadier-General of the Staff, Don Jose Rondeau, addressed them. The harangue was received by shouts and acclamations in favour of the Supreme Director, of the Sovereign Congress, and of the military force. Our new friends were immediately directed to the habitations appointed for them in the cantonments of the regiment of war riors to which they have been joined. AU classes of the people throng to satisfy their curiosity, by viewing the•new comers, to whom they spew every mark of respect and attention. Many Officers of this place have given 700 dollars for the relief of their new' companions in arms. We wish to snake nations understand, that the people of Buenos Ayres esteem, as they ought to do, the merit of such an action, and that of the freemen of the Trinidad." FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, JANUARY 7. His Majesty the Kiiig departed yesterday for the Hague, but his absence from Brussels will only be for a few days. SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES-GENERAL. SITTING OF TIIF. 6TH JANUAItIi. The Assembly met at noon in a Committee ; at three quarters pat twelve the sitting became public ; the process-verbal was read and approved. The clerk then read the process-verbal for the Secret Com- mittee of the whole Chamber on the 3lst December and 4th January, which were adopted. It appears from them. that in the first of these Secret sittings, project of law was presented, proposing to lay a duty on potash, soda, and weed-ashes, with the view of taking. off afterwards the duty on manufactured soap. The second sitting was employed in reading the Report of the Central Section ; and in the discussion of this important law, the grounds and regulations of which were explained and defended by his Excellency M. Appelius, Director-General of the Excise and the Export and Import Duties. • The law being put to the vote, was adopted by a majority of 64 votes to and sent to the First Cham ber for its sanction. _ In the third Sitting . a Message from the First Chamber was communicated, announcing that it had agreed to this law. The Chamber then put an end to secret proceedings adopted on this subject, and nothing else being on the Order of the Day, the Chamber rose and adjourned indefinitely. Note.—The law which has just been passed is of the highest importance to our soap manufacturers, and Couriers were immediately dispatched to all parts of the kingdom, iu order to prevent fraud and the introduction of new material; from foreign countries. It is thought that the duty on manufactured soap will continue for some months longer. VIENNA, Dnermurat The merchant Abraham Uffenheimer, who had suspended his payments fur some time, appeared yesterday on 'Change. This house, as was expected, had made an arrangement with its creditors. The e..-ent has caused, a great sensation among the mer chants. There is again a great deal of business doing on our Exch.‘nge, particularly in foreign paper. RASTADT. DECEMBOR 7t. The agreeable intelligence begins to be circulated that Bavaria has at last acceded to the arrangement made at Aix-la-Chapelle, relative to her relations with the House of Baden. Ft)! some days past a report has been generally current in the Kingdom of Wurtemberg that the Provincial States of the country are on the point of heing of new convoked. The King, it is said, has resolved on making a new attempt to come to an traderstanJing with the States on the basis of an uni form Constitution for the old and new Provinces. 11,"e as e assured that M. Malchus had opposed this project, so that his removal may be regarded as a fortunate event. It is hoped that there will be greater 1 harmony in the Assembly of the States on this occa sion than was exhibited durill; their last session. The young Count 13elecznai, who killed his father last summer, had succeeded in escaping from his prison at Pcsth. He repaired to the paternal estate in the neighbourhood of Perth, where he extorted some sums from the factor, and afterwards had the audacity to go into the town of I'esth on horseback and armed. Ire alighted at the house of an impure, whom he had known for a long time. The Authori ' ties being apprised of his return, took measures to have him arrested, but he bairicadoed the house and defended himself desperately. After having killed one of the officers of police, he surrendered by capi tulation, reserving to himself the right of firing his two pistols in the air. He is at present guarded with the greatest rigour, and will doubtless not escape the punishment due to his crimes. STOCKHOLM, DECEMBER 15. General Count Sandels, who so honourably pre sided at the last Swedish Diet, has received from his Majesty leave of four months absence from Norway, of which he has beets appointed Governor-General, in order to reside here during that time with his fa mily. This circumstance sufficiently refutes the re ports which have been spread about the pretended discontent of the Norwegian people. The spirit of the public is so good in that country, . and the loyalty of the inhabitants is so respondent to the confidence of the King, that his Majesty has been pleased, in the absence of the Governor-General, to allow the administration of Norway to remain in the hands of M. Schullebourg, a native of Holstein, and formerly a Danish subject. To the many gallant vessels wafted from our shores with the most ardent wishes ever breathed in the cause ofliberty, we have to add the departure of the Hero, on Thursday last, with veteran troops for the Southern Sea. A complete Medical Staff sailed on board the Perseverance, at the beginning of this month, for the same destination. A body of cavalry, composed principally of German Lancers, amounting to SOO men, is expected to be ready in a few days. CEYLON INTELUGENCE. (PRIVATS LWIIIIIIIO • " TRINCOMALEE, JULY cS, • " This has been a most dreadful season: among the deaths are—Colonel Isl'Nab, Captains Fitzgerald, Jones, Langton, M'Glashen, and Dr. Hooper, of the 19th regiment ; Mr. and Mrs. Waring; Lieutenant Foote, of the Navy, and Mrs. Fran chell. A sad mortality has taken place in the Naval depart ment. All the European shipwrights, except two, have paid the debt of nature. In Candy, and throughout the interior of the Island, the troops have suffered severely, and great num bers of them have died. The war is now carried on in the most inveterate way. In exchange for the iron bullets which the Kandians use, our troops are furnished with buck shot. 1 ' Since the arrival of the Company's troops, the Officers serving in the interior have been put on full balsa. There are now in the field three European Regiments, viz. the 19th, 73d, and 83d ; the Ist and 2cl Ceylon Regiments, the 15th and 18th Madras Native Infantry; and the 20th Bengal Native Infantry are embarked, and expected here daily. Besides these, several Independent Companies have been formed, making a total, in eluding Pioneers and Coolies, of about 16.000 men. The expense of bringing so many troops from the Coast has been enormous. The extra expenditure, during the last Eighteen months, cannot be less than three hundred and Eighty thousand pounds sterling, not including sixty-two thousand pounds, the produce of prize sales. " With regard to prize-money, perhaps it is not generally known in England that a partial division has aitu.:lll taken place. The distribution was made in the following inanner : A notice was posted up on the doors of the Prize Sale Rome stathig that Officers entitled to share, would be allowed to bid to a certain extent, according to their respective ranks; viz. a Field Officer to the amount of ; a Captain £100; and a Lieutenant £5O sterling ; or those who preferred having the gash, were allowed to employ a Native Merchant to bid for them, having the amount placed to their debit, to be &ducted when the general division takes place. As the reverses we have suffered :rimier it doubtful whether all the property will be shared by the Army, the Governor, the Officers of the General Staff, and those who happened to be at Head-quarters, and attended the prize sales, are the only persons who have yet benefited— the common soldier has received nothing !" ANOTHER LETTER. " CEYLON, AI7GCST is. " The unfortunate war in the Candian country is farther than ever from a termination. Amongst the number of Officer; wha have already died of the fever are Captain Jones, Captain Lang ton, Doctor Hooper. Captain Gray, Lieutenant Cnit:well, and Lieutenant Taylor, and many others—l dare not venture to say how many more. Poor Mrs. Gray, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. 'Taylor, Mrs. Cruttwell, and Mrs. Green, are widows, same of them with large families. People say, that military men of eun•ider able experience have declared that it will re9uire 60,000 men to bold the Candlan country, under the present system. There are even at present 20,000 men, including the sepoys of the Com pany, and their coolies, &c. in the country. The sickness has been, and is, melancholy. Upwards of I title men are in hospi tals; and the expense, including the reinf.arcements that are ex pected from Bengal, is almost as great as th'it of the English force in France."

At one o'clock to-day, the King presided at a Council of Ministers, which lasted until three o'clock. His Majesty afterward , presided at a Cabinet Coun cil, at which were present, the Marquis Gamier, Count Beugnet, Baron Pasquier, and M. Roy, Mi nisters of State ; Count 13erenger, and Baron St. cricq, Counsellors of State. The preposition of M. Delessert, in favour of the Duke of Richelieu, was not discussed this morning in the bureaus of the Chamber of Deputies. We are assured that this discussion is adjourned because the Council of State are preparing a project on the sub ject, which will very shortly be presented at a public Sitting of the Chamber. JANUARY 7.—Monsieur accompanied the Duke of Gloucester this forenoon through the gallery of the Museum, where they remained a long time examin-. ing the chef erceurres which this fine collection con tains.—h is said, that at the Cabinet Council which was held yesterday, several questions were agitated relative to a change in the financial year, which is in future to commence on the Ist of July. By an Ordonnance of the King of the Gth instant, there is to be formed in the Ministry of the Interior, and under the immediate authority of the Secretary' of State for that Department, a General Direction of', the Communal and Departmental Administration.

The interview which our Monarch had with the Emperor Alexander was extremely amicable. The Emperor reiterated to the King the promise which he had formerly made him of maintaining by every means in his power, the existing order of things, and particularly the political independence of Saxony. The Emperor also promised to pay a visit to Dres den when he returns from Germany. ALGIERS, NOVEMBER 26. The plague has entirely ceased its ravages in our unfortunate country; but it carries off at Constantine from forty to fifty persons daily, and it prevails Bona, which gives us reason to fear that it may y tt again burst out at Algiers. It appears certain that the number of persons who have fallen victims te here is not less than 24,000, and in the country r art; 120,000. 1 1 .4 A NJTEIM, JANUARY 1.
