V al it 1 it 1 1 u r ill FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, OCTOBER s. The illuminations yesterday evening in the Green Alley attracted'an immense crowd of spectators.—, Few promenades in Europe are calculated for such a fete ; the whole had the appearance of a scene such RS is described in fairy tales. The weather was highly favourable. The Emperor of Russia arriving with our Royal Family, was received by the immense crowd with boundless acclamations. All the streets from the Palace of Lacken to the Place de Ma'. ice were illuminated. The public expected their Majes ties would go. into the Theatre, the facade of which VMS illuminated, and the interior lighted with wax candles; but they passed on to the great regret of those whom the expectation of their coming had col lected in the theatre. All the French papers agree that peace is signed ; they differ only about the terms. By private letters, it seems certain that Alsace and Lorraine will be se parated from France. The German Gazette of Co logne informs us, that on the arrival of two couriers at Fran kentbal, in the Palatinate, a report was spread that one of them brought to the Archduke Charles the news that peace was concluded at Paris, and the communication of the decrees by which his Imperial Highness will possess the countries on the left bank of ti:e Rhine, which are Wit yet occupied, and which will be formed into a 'kingdom. The other courier brought to the Imperial and Bavarian Commissioners Cie notification, that their. functions were to cease from the Ist of October. WATERLOO, OCTOBER 1. A letter in tke Journal is la Belgique, under this date, gives an account of the visit of the Emperor of Russia, the King of the Netherlands, the Prince of Orange, the Princes of 'Prussia, &c. to the field of 'Waterloo. Their Majesties alighting at Mount St. Jean, mounted their horses to go to the farms of La I-I:y', Saint Howguemont, where they examined the different positions, particularly that which was occu pied by the valiant hereditary Prince, where he re ceived his glorious wound on the 18th of June. On arriving ab ive La Belle Alliance, they halted on the emintnce to examine the line by which the brave General Bulow debouched beyond Frescher. Wont, and the junction of General Ziathen with the lift of o.e . Allies. When they arrived at La Belle Alliao.ce, his Majesty the Emperor of Inssidi ac cepted a gltss of wine, as well as his suite, then oh s:trying the inscription in large characters, "Ala Belle Alla:it:cc," and wining to our august Monarch.and his Royal Highness the Hereditary Prince, he said to them with great cordiality, " Yes, it is really the fair Alliance, both in respect to the States and the farni- , ; GOD grant that it may be of long duration." Our Prince received with pleasure and gratitude this . testimony of friendship and esteem a mag nainntous Sovereign. Their Majesties returned to their carriages at Mount St. Jean, and drove lack to Brussels. BRIMELS, OCTOBER 3. The following is theespeecn of his Excellency the 'Minister 1)t the Interior, on closing the first Session Of the Sates-General: " HAW AND Minal LORD', " If the Session which bas just terminated has not been dig. Sint,uitthed by the number of important afratte discussed - in it, it is Lavoie: biehly interesting, unaccuunt ut the august ceremony setich was the chief object of the convocation of this Assembly, The citisenS, who are endowed with patriotism mid would not, without gie profoundest emotion, have seen him Who I. the Representative of the DteissitY on earth, invoke in the midst of his people, the saint DIVINITY, as a witness of the ea segments which he entered nail, ta fulfil with the most scrupu loes exactioess, as his subjcc:s have a right to expect, the duties ♦ hiai are imposed on him. These sentiments must exist in a nation ahove all, when the Prince, who contracts this solemn engagement, tias already proved by his preceding conduct how fumy sensible he is of the extent of his duties, and how much value he attaches to the religious performance of them. And we may say with confidence, High and Mighty Lords, that the oath of our King is to us the surest pledge that his Majesty will maintain the inviolability of the Constitution, without the slightest alteration, end will exert himself to transmit it to pox • wily. It was not till :titer the most mature deliberation, that lie adopted the Constitution, and it Is with the most perfect con ch:item ot pus-ihility of being faithful to it, that his Majesty Las tah en the irrevocable engagement intim prewece of his people.

The King himself will be the trincipel guardian of the intcre.ts which are confided to you ; lie knows in general the rights and the wants of his people; he knows them, even their particular bearings, as well in regard to civ.l as to religious affairs.

To-day we received the Paris Papers of Tuesday. They repeat the threadbare assertion of the final Treaty of Peace being signed by all the Powers. — The new Ministry have commenced their career by the suppression of another JOurnal :—for this we are sorry. There are hirelings enough in France surely of all descriptions, and Messieurs the Ministers would have diTlayed their good sense more effectually by paying the other Journalits to write the offensive Editor down. • The Gazelle de France, received yesterday, an nounced, by mistake, the appointment of the infa mous BOURDINNE, of Hambergh memory, to a place of trust and emolument. This is a mistake—the name of the new Minister of the French Registry of Domains is BARAIRON, and he held the office under Louts XVI. He never had the degradation con ferred upon him of serving under BONAPARTE, or of the gang of public robbers who preceded or sup ported him. No mention is made of Nee—perhaps he hugs himself on the chance of being pardoned. In the mean time, the outcry is raised against him and •his fellOw miscreants throughout all France. The ad dresses from the Departments call loudly for the en forcement of the tans against the traitors, and the Parisian Journals have at length caught the salutary and glorious infection. Alluding to the criminal folly of permitting rebels and traitors to live, they respectfully remind tWe Kim; that as the fountain of justice as well as of ho. nour, his maxim ought to be more prati;, vita bogie I the instant exlcution of Nee, wit:, the contiscatiou of his ill-acquired wealth ; the stiztire of the pro.' petty, if not of the pers JIIS of the infamous CANDA. CERES, CANNOT, and CaueetNcounr, would at mace make Louts XVIII. as all Sovereigns ought to be, feared by the bad, and beluve,i by the good among his dwn subjects, and respected by other Sovereigns, of whose family he woold thus prove himself a worthy and legit;rnate miutber. " Great example, of justiee," say the Electors of the Arriege, 66 have become necessary to intimidate the wicked, who are still disposed to imitate those audacious conspirators, unceassingly armed with the dagger and incendiary torch. Tne cry of all civilized nations is raised against those old sons of crime, who, emboldened by impunity, still preserve their criminal hopes, and perhaps meditate new atrocities. The suc cess of wickedness on earth," say the Electors of the Upper Garonne, 46 may eater into thi severe designs of PROVIDENCE; but it is never with impunity to lerated by human laws. Thanks be given to you, Sire, for the promises which you have made to us against the authors of the most atrocious attempt which was ever planned." Those of the Upper Loire say, 66 your faithful subjects will find a solemn guarantee of their future tranquillity in the ex. emplary punishment of those great criminals whom France disavows for her children—of those execra ble men who have dared to plot the blackest of con spiracies—of those wretches, in short, who in three months have exhausted on France three ages of mi sery. What torrents of blood have been shed in their impious cause, what cities destroyed, what fields rae vaged, what numbers of families ruined for evin4 But the justice of your Majesty will not leave unpu nished the authors of so many disasters. The law will have its course, and will remove all our dis qu'.•tudes." To the same purport speak the Addressee, of the Isere, the Loire, the Eastern Pyrenees, the Upper Rhine, the mouths of the Rhone, the Var, and. several others. The printed journals say so little respecting the removal of the Works. of Art, that we cannot help thinking some injunction has been laid upon them re specting this sore point. The private letters, how ever, speak largely of the chagrin of the Parisians, their shrugs, their lamentations, and, when they dare, speak out, their threats.— St; .tnge that men v.ho affect to throw upon BONAPARTE and his adherents, the+ odium of all the crimes produced by the revolution,: should exhibit bush an attacnment to stolen goads, as to threaten vengeance against the rightful owners for staking back their own. On this subject some curious rumours are in circu lation. They are stated with much confidence, but we can only mention them *airports. In consequence of the part which k has fallen to the lot of the Duke of WELLINGTON to perform in this act of justice, a coldness has, it is said, been produced between Lours XVIII. and his Grace. The French, appeal. ing 'to the Convention of Paris, refused to let these trophies of their victories" be removed, as it was stipulated that nothing hut objects of war should be touched. To this the Duke replied, that an article was proposed and rejected, stipulating the preserva tion of the articles of Art t 3 the French. BLOWER said be would have the articles belonging to Prussia, and then the Duke of IVNl.Listtrox declared he would insist nn all the other articles belonging to the Allies being returned to ahem. His Gs ace, therefore, very justly contends, that it was quite well known the articles of An were to be returned, and he insisted on their being Oen up. The KING of FRAM:I as , ;aids.) . . bays giVeit orders that they should:not be surrendered, and TALLETKANG, it appears, wished to shuffle the Allies out of them; but the Duke of, WELLINGTON was peremptory. and he seat military to enforce his orders. .• In connection with this it is reported that some misunderstanding had taken place between Lord CASTLEREAGH and the Duke of WELLINGTON, but if so it could only be till an explanation was given by the latter. Lord CASTLEREAGH is reported to have stated to the Duke that he was conceived to have acted beyond his powers in guaranteeing the non-re moval of At works of tire. The Duke never having done so, but, on the contrary, refused to admit an an article to that effect offered by the French ne gociators, of course had only to state this fact to rec tify the mistake under which Lord Carruateatou lay ; we therefore doubt whether it be correct that the Duke wrote a letter, of which copies are privately circulated, justifying his conduct. This letter, it is said, begins with trusting that his Lordship will jus tify him to the PRINCE REGENT, should attempts have been made to establish the truth of certain reports in circulation. It had (he goes on to state) been indeed asserted that the Capitulation of Paris protected the statues and pictures in the Louvre. So far w.ts this from being the fact, that when in the Ne gociation for the surrender of Paris, it was pro posed to insert an additional article about the works of Art, Prince Bata:men said that he could listen to no Such article, for that he was deter mined to take away all that had been removed from Berlin and the Prussian States. Upon which he (the Duke) declared, that the article proposed must be rejected, and that he should claim for the rest of the Allies those works that had been taken from them. It was therefore impossible but that those who negociated the Capitulation on the part of , the French must have understood that the works were to be removed. . His Grace then states, that last year he spoke to the King of FRANCE himself, and requested that those pictures, &c. which had belonged to the Prince of ORANGE'S own Cabinet might be resumed ; to which the KING replied, that they should be restored — a promise which had not been fulfilled. That this year he again spoke to the KING in the most respect ful terms upon the subject—that he also spoke after to the Prince de TALL:I:SHAND; who put him off from time to time—At last, upon being pressed. the Prince said " then take them away by force,"—which his Grace at last determined to do. The remainder of the letter alludes to the feelings and conduct of the French nation at large. YAK'S, OCTOBF.R 4. It appears certain that the definitive treaty between the King and the Allies was sigaid to-day. The Ambassador from Naples paid a visit to the 43uchees of Angouleme to-day. ' It is said that the Duke of Orleans will return to England, alter the opening of the Session of the two Chambers. He has not given any audiences since his arrival. The Duc of Havre yesterday commenced his duty as Captain of the King's Body Guards. This service, which generally lasted three months, is provisionally limited to a month. The arrival at Paris of the 3d corps of the Prussian army, under the orders of General Thielman, has been delayed. It will not arrive for two days, to re 'place the Royal Pi ussian Guards. The vile lion of Saint Marc, which was placed on the fountain of the Invalids, and which we expressed a wish to see restored to the Venetians, was carried off to-day. One of the ropes used in taking it down gave way, and occasi •ned some damage : From Dijon we learn, of the 29ih September : es Yesterday and to.iay great numbers of Austrian troops of all arms passed through this place, followed by trains of artillery and baggage. The number of troops assembled in the Dijon camp is 60,000. Nothing positive is yet known respecting the arrival , of the Allied Sovereigns." From Caen we learn, that Prussian troops con stantly pass through that place on their way to Paris., By an arrete of the Minister of General Police, 01 Journal des Arts has been suppressed. This measure is founded on several of the Ordonnances of his Ma jesty regarding the police ot the Journals. This 'Journal, which had been 'announced as the continua-, tor of the Yellow Dwarf, had adopted the same sys tem of calumniating and of opposition. This act of ;severity announces that his Majesty's Government is resolved to cause the laws respecting periodical writings to be vigorously enforced. The Chambers, at their meeting, will have to decide if the circum stances under which we are placed will admit of any change in this part of our legislative system The Duke cf Wellington, who is to command in chief the allied troops who are to remain in France, will have under his orders General Ziethea, as Com mander of the Prussian contingent. The Generals who are to coinuiand the contingents, of the two othrPowers do not seem to have as yet been appointed. The Prussian troops who left Paris yesterday after the review by their Sovereign, took 'the route of Fontainebleau. The cannon which had been removed from the e . bridges p iac Altered merey ms for purposes atkhwea rdics of i.ng die review, were te immediately yesterday h received a great number of Civil and Military Functionaries, amongst whom were several' Members of the Chamber ot De puties. Their Royal Highnesses • Madame and the I Princes received also different persons. The Emperor of Austria was at Melun on the soth. it is said that his Majesty 'will remain in that city till the sth of October. Every day fresh Austrian troops arrive at LyoM and ethera go out. We are ignorant pf the meaninit of those marches and Counter-marcbes. Several OUIDIIS of Ruasiaa troops are ;uaw Sarrebourg and its environs, halting till the m olt which have preceded them are further on their march. The Russian troops at Vag., Bar-le-Dnc, St. Di. zifr, Vitry, and Chalons-sur.btame, expect orders to march. Chartres is the central point where the Prussian troops are now marching on, from whence they will take the directvoad for Paris. Several Austrian and Prussia* regiments quitted the Capital yesterday. Brussels and Frankfort Journals arrived last nigh t Their contents arc given in the preceding coin: T . This morning a Hamburgh Mail arrived, from which the following are extracts : BRUSSELS, SEPTEMBER 30. On the 231 all the Flemish pictures were remov , from the Museum in Paris. As for those whici: irr still w.tnting, and wkich have been conveyed to di'. ferent places to be concealed, we have sufficient ir. formation concerning them. If they are not speedily produced, means will be easily found to bring t hem to light. It is expected that the Netherland Cabinet of N. oral History will be taken back by a celebrated pro. lessor of Leyden, in the same manner as the pairt. ings have been. The cantoiturents of the Allies continue to be more aid more drawn towards Lille ; they already cccupy several places round the fortress, and the entrapce . the Al' led troops is spoken of as highly probable. i Lille a great degree of alarm prevails. Imporai. t changes. are expected there which the /k: ton n , , l ; Guard, who do the duty of the place, gr , ...!tiy pined. A general murmuring is heard t,n count in the public places. At Valenciennr , Douay the case is nearly the same. A short LI:Le must clear up all these doubts. In the French Deparment of the Ard,enes and Moselle, the Allies are making very large requisitieus. Thus . Sedan it called upon to deliver a very large quantity of cloth. The first convoy of our pictures leave Paris at th! beginning of October. HANOVER, F.EPTEMBER 26. The definitive cession of the Principality of East Friesland to the Kingdom of Hanover, has now taken place ; troops are already ordered from ti,; kingdom to take possession of that country ; and t! .e formal act Qt session arrived here, as is reported, last week. PARIS, SEPTEMBER 20. To the urgent remonstrances that have been Trade from many quarters respecting the restitution of mi• ney formerly seized and contributions imposed, the party who is called upon (could you believe it ?) has partly replied, that several arrears due to Bonaparte had net ben paid ; and that several contributioos ordered by Ilmnaparte have not yet been received; and that all this might serve to compensate the al. claim. The warrant by which Wallow wac prevented from bringing his laborious attempt of walking 1,000 miles in twenty days, to a fair conclusion, was yes , .terday quashed. This poor man, whose integrity, courage, and sufferings have gained him so much good will from the Public, may surely expect that those who signed the illegal warrant, wil, retneCT their wrong to him, out of their own pocket. One of the Magistrates, who has rendered himieli unpopular by his interference with regard to Wto soN, 11.. s been subjected to much annoyance from the popumce. Great niunhers of persons, on passO;;; house, knocked at his door this morning. to iocbire, if .they might have permission to walk over the Xrati a their way to town ? The Henry, Cannon, from New-York, is arrived at Liverpool, but has hr,ught no Papers. Letters from New. York, dated 3d September, contain no The Mary, Arrutcx, and William, Mossor:wer: sail from New-York for Liverpool on the 12th. Mr. Josue SMIRNOFF arrived yesterday at the I r nti Hotel, Dover, on his return from Brussels, with de patches for his Excellency the Russian Ambassador. Saturday information was received at the Heil Police Office, Dublin, that the Lady of the late 1:10. tenant General Sir Josue STUART, residing at her late father Colonel Inwites.house, South Frederick s.rot, had been robbed of cash, diamond.rings, and jewel. lery, to the amount of upwards of £3OOO. Wednesday morning, Lord RIVERS aeCOMpanita by a number of gentlemen. went into iVindsor Little Park. with his greyhounds, for the purpose of e njoy. ing a day's sport of coursing. The wailer being extremely fine, the QUEEN and PtuNcEssEs were at• tracted to the spot to view the amusements. Some very excellent tuns were given ; the hares insar iabl i took to the slopes under the terrace , wh ich surrounds the Castle, for, shelter, but they had ver y little chance of escaping from the fleetness of the greyhounds. The Royal Party was highly delighted with the diversion. DRURY-LAS)/ THEATRE. —Me.
