The Governor of Metieres, wishing to avoid the inistortunes which a longer resistance would have oc . ‘ a3ioned, capitulated on the 9th, and• General Hacke, 'hem he had surrendered, worthily appreciating m ili ta ry valour, granted the garrison the most ho. no:Arable conditions. In virtue of the capitulation, n.irrison retires into the citadel, and if within a twilight it receives no orders, it will then march oat Ir a military hollours.and its field artillery, to join the army of the Loire.

LAUMNNE, AUGUsr 4. Count Talleyrand, Minister from France,- has in- , firmed the Diet by a note, dated July 28, of the ar lival in the neighbourhood of Geneva of several of l:nnaparte'b family, and other persons implicated in the late French Revolution. Their residence in itei . tzilland might be attended with serious inconve nit:flocs to both countries, and his Excellency, there fore) requests that, the Diet will riot grant any pro tfetii,n to those persons. This note is to be comma n cam' to the Cantons, with a direction not to receive arty persons whose presence may compromise "the Confiderxion. . THE EVENING STAR. BRUGES, AUGUST 10. Since the Bth it the evening till to-day at noon thirty boats have passed through this tity with Eng lish infantry on board, lately come from America.— It is expected that more will soon follow. The Paris Papers of Monday reached us this morn ing. Their contents are important. NEY is on his way to Paris, closely guarded, to take his trial. and the articles of charge have been prepared. • Of all the infamous men who have been the means and in struments of the infliction of so many. miseries on Ft ance and on Europe, be improbably the most un principled arid thivilest. Duffing the operation of the plot for BONAPARTE'S return such large sums were distributed, that at last the conspirators found their supplies exhausted. Money, however, was indispen sale, and Nev (will posterity credit such consummate baseness ?) applied to the King himself for the means of overthrowing him. The unsuspecting Monarch yielded to his request, and the traitor actually re ceived a million of francs on his departure for Lyons, with which he endeavoured to corrupt every Officer in whom the least confidence was reposed. Such has been the complicated perfidy of this villain, for whose punishment no sign t,l pity will be shewn ! the enor mity of his guilt stivresses every kind emotion of the heart. Several other traitors have beenarrested: &MET, at Mende, in the Department of Lozere; LUcIEN BONAPARTE, at Turin.; and JOSEPH, in Swit zerland. TALLEYRAND has written a Note to the Diet of Switzerland, requesting them not to afford an asylum to the traitors who have fled thither; and in consequence, several Cantons have arrested such in dividuals as were implicated in the late conspiracy. On Monday the trial of another of the traitors, LANEDOYERE, commenced ; but of course nothing could be known in time for that day's post. The trials of the traitors Promise most important results. if either passion, or prejudice shall prevail ; if the most impartial justice shall not be-administered, it is impossible to calculate the consequences. Another Ordinance has been issued respecting the Army, which in'. its operation will purge it from many of the villains who have been brought up in the school of blood. On the Ist of September all the Officers who shall have attained the age of 55, or who shall have served for 30 years, or received wounds which at all disable him, :hall retire on half-pay. Madame Mortal., one of the ferule worthies of the BONAPARTE dynasty, has been allowed to take up her permanent residence in the Austrian domi flints ; but she is not to be permitted to approach Vienna. She will, no doubt, be speedily joined by the Drill Serjeant MURAT, her husband. The peaceable inhabitants of Basle, in Switzerland, are dreadfully annoyed by the French banditti who have shut themselves up in the fortress of Huninguen. The Captain of the garg, who calls himself General BAnn N EGR A (.1114S BlachLedrd), lately demanded three hundred theusand francs born the unoffending town of Basle, under pain of bombardment.— As this fellow is acting entirely, on his own account, and does not even pretend to be authorized by NAPO EEON 11. f or CA ItNOT, • IliS self-constituted• Prime Mi• nister, the citizens refused to accede. BARBANEGRA hereupon kept his word, and opened a brisk cannonade on Basle. In this state *titers were op the 3d of August. The ParisiaOiditors seem to take adelight in tilling us that BARBA N . EGRA is by birth a Corsican, as if no native Rachman could be guilty of such atrocities. • PARIS, AUGUST 14. The Allied Sovereigns and the Princes of their families dined yesterday 'with Ihe King of France and Nivarre. The dinner commenced at six in the evening. During dinner dances and rondos took place as on Sunday last. At half-past eight the King and all the Allied Sovereigns appeared at the windows of the Thuilleries amid the reiterated cries • of Yive le Roi I, and Vivent let Sonveraine The Primed Eckmultl, whose arrival at Paris was prematurely announced, is iu fact now here, but he only arrived yesterday. Orders have been issued that Marshal Ney shall be transleired to Paris.- It is presumed that he will arrive in four or . five days, and that the necessary documents for his accusation will be immediately drawn up. It is said that Joseph.Bo napartz, who had arrived secretly in the Pays de Vaud, was arrested in the' night of the 3d or 4th of August, by order of the Governor of Berne, and that he has been closely shut up until further orders. General Grundler, who was sent to Soissons by his Excellency the Minister of War, to put an end to the siege of that place, has made arrangements with the Itussian General Ouskakow, relative to the occupation of the city 14 the Allies. Tlie Russiani siert td occupy it on the 11th of 19th. The garrison Of .LaOn is on its mtich to join the army of the Loire, and three Pruisian battalions we to occupy that place. ' By an official Note from the Court df Madrid it appears that our communications with Spain are once more opened. It was in the Castle of Bessouiei, in the depart tnent of the Lot, on the extreme frontier of Cants', that Marshal Ney was airested in the morning of the Si of August. The Prussian Ministers yesterday held a conference for two hours with the King of France. It appears certain that the perfect integrity of the French territory is a point decided in the tiegociAtions of the Congress at Paris. II some limitr.pical parts of the kingdom must be occupied for a given time by allied troops, this arrangement will only be in conformity with the execution of other conditinns of the treaty. Finally, we are :assured that the King of France will soon get rid of the cruel pangs which his great heart has undergone, with K glory the more brilliant, as he will owe it entirely to the ascendancy of his character and to the veneration inspired by his virtues. It is added that Russia and England interfere in .he aff.►irs of France pith so much moderation, mag. sanimity and loyalty, that we shall have reason no less to admire the use which they make of their power, than the r e lendour of their victories. The grand review of the Russian Army, 150,000 strong, which was to take place in presence of all the Allied Sovereigns, in the vast plains between Vertus and Fere Champetroise, is put off to the beginning of September, in order that the crops may not be injured. It was nut at Paris, as was announced, but in Switzerland, that Joseph Bonaparte was arrested.— A letter from Geneva, dated the 7th instant, thus re- lates the circumstances of this arrest : " Joseph Bonaparte, who had arrived secretly within these few days, was arrested in the night of the cr 4th of August in the Castle of Allemand, near Rolles. The order was sent from Berne, and it was Colonel Brandin, at the head of a company of carabincers of St. Gall, who executed it. Joseph ran out-of a door nearly naked in order to escape ; but peweiving that the castle was surrounded by troops, lie returned to the house and hid himself.— In the dark, a soldier groping about with his bayonet, wounded the cowardly little creature, who had rolled himself up in a corner of the carpet. .This invo luntary accident cause d Joseph Bonaparte a consi derable loss of blood, which made him faint. He is now closely locked up, and the Colonel, lis keeper, waits further orders." We are assured Ina M. Maret and his wife (the mock Duke and Duchess of Bassano) are also in Swirterland. The disturbances continue at Nimes. At Avignon 'and Montpelier. the Military and Civil Authorities attached to Bonaparte have been dreadfully mal treated since the death of Marshal Brune. They write from Toulon, that the fatal catastrophe of Brune has caused much despondency among the rebel Generals, and instead of proceeding to the destinations appointed for them, many hove sailed for Havre with a view to quit France. General VEa. DM is of that number. COURISR /EXTRAORDINARY OP MONDAY MORNING. It is said that Ferdinand WI. is on his way to Paris from Madrid; and that the King of the Ne therlands will also pay us a visit. Before killing himself Marshal Brune tore a great number of papers. The fragments have been col• lected and put under seal. , The Marshal's two Aides-de-Camp were not molested. The Russian army is still in the environs of Metz. The Duke of Orleans visited the King yesterday. • The trial of Labedoyere commenced to-Jay. At &moment we are writing, a great crowd surrounds the doors of the First Council of War, which arc not yet opened. VIENNA, JULY 30. The fate of Madame Murat is at length decided. She had remained at Trieste, manifesting a great an tipathy against remaining in Bohemia : she rejected all proposals on this subject, and when her departure , was mentioned, she feigned sickness, intrigued and complained of the violence which was done her : she finally obtained permission to take up her'residence in Lower Austria, and she will inhabit the Code of Haimbourg, belonging to the banking-houne of Fenner and Co. of Vienna. It is situated six leagues from the capital on the side of Hungary. Messrs. Fenner and Co. have, with the.consent of Covernmenr, let Madame, for five years, at a rent of (woo florins, their chateau at Haimbourg. She it expressly prohi bited from coming nearer than a league to Vienna, and has been informed that she must think' herself very fortunate. This morning we received a letter from Havre, dated August 14, which says— " The inhabitants here are shewlng their dislike to every thing relating to Bonaparte. The largest of three bridges, which was called Napoleon's Bridge, and on which his name and the Mi ulster of Marine was engraved, hu undergone an alteration, by • the Usurper's name being expunged.
