DUTCH MAIL. BRUSSELS, JULY 19. - - The Prince of Orange sets out the day after to morrow, with the Princess and the young Prince, f - dr Spa, where he will remain till the middle of August. His Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia, who will be in a few days'at Aix-la-Chapelle, is also expected at Spa. PETLRSBURGH, JULY 3. Yesterday afternoon, at five o'clock, their Royal Highnesses Princess Charlotte and Prince William of Prussia made their solemn entry into this city, after having reposed from the fatigues of their journey at Pawlosk, a are of the Emperor's, foul leagues off. His Majesty the Emperor, the Grand Dukes, and Prince William, on horseback, opened the procession, accompanied by an uncommonly numerous and splendid suite. After this follmved the open State coach, in which were the Reigning Empress, the Empress Mother, and the Royal Bride, Princess Charlotte. Immediately after followed an innume rable train of carriages with all the Great Officers of the Imperial Household, Officers of State, &c. The entry took place amidst the continued discharges of artillery, and the acclamations of the troops and the people. The procession went to the winter palace, when the Princess Charlotte and Prince William alighted. list before the entry, the Emperor gave the Prince the Order of St. Alexander Newsky. COPENHAGEN, JULY 12. On the 9th the Russian squadron, under Admiral Crown, with the Russian troops on board, returning !torsi Fiance, passed through the Sound to the Baltic. A Fri.i:ch ti 'gate sailed to the Baltic at the same time, This squadion left Calais on the 3J inst. The harvest has begun both in Austria and Hun• pry. and is most abundant, so that the prices are greatly un the dec;ine. iItIVATE LETTER. " VIENNA, JULY 10. " Trade has lately begun to revive a little. Thit improvement is attributed to the news from Ame rica, and particularly from the Brazils, which have raked the price of merchandize at Trieste and Ham burgh. The letters from Trieste say, that business is-becoming very active there. " The accounts from Hungary are, however, still very unsatistactory. Notwithstanding the general fertility of that country, famine prevails in many dis tricts, and particularly in Transylvania. The Go. vernment ordered supplies to the places which suffer most, but the relief arrived too late. Epidemic dis orders had already made considerable progress, the harvest was remote, and the Carpathian mountains toolnaccessible to permit the transpokting of grain, at any price, from Poland or Russia. Hungary is stilt tort run with bands of beggars—several have been seen to fall down dead before the doors of those who-refused them alms. '' s The elections for the new Magistrates of Neo grad, which tonk place some weeks ago, were very tumultuous. More than 2,500 Nobles were assem bled on this occasion. A spectacle was exhibited which resensbled the stormy Diets of Poland. Sabres were drawn, and a thousand viclences committed be fore the elections were completed. In tact they were not carried by the majority of voters, but by party violence. One of the losing candidates was so mal treated that he fell ill, and was obliged to give up the competition. Such is the state of barbatism into which the measures of Austria have caused the an diem Hungarian liberty to degenerate. Instead of making Hungarian liberty, which is founded on feu dalism, keep pace with the progress of knowledge, Austria has constantly acted the opposite part ; ac c adingly, for a century past, only the shadow of t pat liberty has been seen." FRANKFORT. A private letter from Frankfort contains the fol lowing expressions :—" It. seems to be necessary that Europe should be acquainted with her danger. The danger does Dot and will not come from Cogland, or from France, or from Austria. It will come from Russia is the P ower which the North—from Russia. is desirous of assuming the high and dictatorial atti. *tide which France assumed under the tyranny or Bonaparte. It is on this account she did every thing in her power to preve,nt the intimate alliance between England and the Netherlands, by a marriage between the two families, and to connect the House of Orange. with the Imperial Family of Russia. It is for this purpose she brought about the marriage of the King of Wurtemberg with the Duchess of Oldenburgh—it is for this purpose she is connecting herself also by family tics with the House of Brandenburg!). It is with this view that she does not see with much dis pleasure the ch.; rges of foreign libelers against Eng land, because they may terni to weaken the esteem and respect for that great Nation—or thine constant attacks upon the Government of. France, which may tend to keep up alarm and apprehension in the inte rior of that country. She relies upon alienating England and France from each other, by encouraging. snciprc'cal jealousies and ill-will." RUSSIA. COALS.—In the inMense empire of Russia, it is well heaven that hitherto there have been no coal mines. An Attempt to raise Goal, that prime article of fuel, is i44out to be made, under the patronage of the Empifirtrr. The spot fixed upon for this purpose is in the vicinity of Tula—Tula; celebrated for its exten sive iron w6rks, and especially recollected at this time, frofn the cit ciatiustance of Bonaparte's defeated inten tion s of destroying them. Tula is the capital of the Government of that name; distant from Moscow 11-5 miles, and situate on the river Upha, in long. 97.24. Ea:', and lat. 54. 10. North. This undertaking (the success of which will term an.epoclia never to be for _ gotten in the annals of the Russian Empire) is under the immediate patronage, we might have added, and at the instance, of the truly patriotic and enlightened Alexander. All the measures were concerted in London with his Excellency Count Lieven, the Rus sian Ambassador and on the 20th ult.: Mr. Long mire, of Whitehaven, (the Director and Actuary in this important concern) proceeded from therm to London, with an assiitant draftsman, and font pit men.belonging to Whitehaven, and*two borers, pre viously engaged at, Newcastle. They sailed from Grtvesead for St. Petersburgb on the Ist of this.' mom; all their equiptnents for the voyage being on the !host liberal scale. We understand they are to winter Moscow, excepting a few occasional visits to 6 as the -season may allow, and a commence veratiolu as early after as the climate will permit. TO THE PROPRIETORS OF TIIL• TYNE AND II LIR COAL MINES. • .......r.... Gramm—Having heard of one of your usual calamities, occurring at Durham. and anxious to rescue my fellow men from the direful effects of the system, stilt in use, I am induced to offer you my services, to prevent the recurrence of such disasters. As the explosion has left the Mine, without any sys• tem, T will engage, in the space of a month, to clear the work and make it fit for the reception of than, after which time lamps, &c. will be found unneces sary ; and I will pervade every part of the Mine with flame, excepting the gas course, to which the Miners have no access. Convinced, by repeated experiments in the most dangerous Mines, of the superiority of the system I profess, and which has• never been at. tended with the loss of life to any man employed, I rest confident of success, and await your answer. 1 am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant. JAMES RYAN, Director of Mines, F.S.A. No. at, Great Thafield-career, July 20, 1817. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. SATURDAY, .JULY 26, 1817.

It will be seen by our Stock List, that the Funds still continue to fall. This is ascribed to the great numbers who bad been waiting only to obtain a cer tain price, hawing ordered their agents to sell out; of course there are more inclined to sell than to buy. The Paris Papers of Wednesday arrived this morn ing.—The Dahl of WELLINGTON was expected to leave Paris for Cambray on Thursday. It seems without doubt, that a proposal for a farther reduc tion of the Army of Occupation has been under con s;deration, but it has not transpired whether it has been acceded to or not. The KING of the NETHER LANDS is understood to be the chief opponent of the measure. The Government is said to hare succeeded in ne• gociating another loan, to the amount of three mil lions, with M. Baring and others. The contractors are to receive the stock at the rate of 62f. 50c. being about 21 or 3 below the quotations of the preceding fortnight. Immediately after the terms were known in Paris, stock was sold at 67 1. 50 c. for money ; and 68 f. 20 c. for the Ist of September. The profits of the contractors must of course be great. From the accounts in the Madrid Gazette, the Royal 'cause mould appear to be getting quite triumphant in America; and with the people of Spain, who have no other char.nel of intelligence, these accounts may oeshaps hsve all the delusive effect whidt is in tended ; but with their neighbours, whose means of information, are a little more various and authentic, we need not say, how little credit they deserve. In order to reinforce this cause, all prevailing as it is . said to be, an order has been issued for detaching eleven men from every company of the regiments of the line in the Peninsula, by which means a corps of about 6000 men is expected to be formed. These different small detachments are already marching from all points of the kingdom to Saint Marie, whence, after being assembled, they are to proceed to Cadiz, to be embarked. A Dutch Mail arrived last night. from which we have given extracts in another column I and this mor ning a Hamburgh and albo a Flemish Mail arrived, front which we subjoin tome extracts; S TUT FGARDT, JULY 7. The Count of Weldeck, who came.here unexpec tedly a few days ago, received, immediately on his arrival, an intimatira to depart again in a few hours. While he was here, he was constaotly attended by some police officers. FROM THE MAINE, JULY t It is said that she States of Nassau will be soon assembled. • A rich merchant at Worms, who had so little of a Christian spirit in him as to hoard up 10,000 mil lers of corn, (a muller is about eighteen Winchester bushels,) has been punished by the Government of Darmstadt, by 'prohibition to roll any part of it before the harvest. Among the emigrants to America, there witatately found, near Frankfort, a yuung man, of lb yeas of age, in a waggon, starved to death. The well knciwn poet, Lewis 'neck, k new in Lon don, and hopes to bring back to Germany valuable contributions to his great work on Shakespeare. VIENNA, JULY P. Sit:te Jerome Bonaparte inhabits the chateau of Schalnan, a very; unexpected attention is excited by the etiquette he observes:—He sever rides out but with his former Royal state: the train consisting of several carriages, with two, four and sit hiirses, and with out-riders besides to clear the way for him. BERLIN, JULY IL According to accounts from St. Petersburgh, her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Prussia arrived on the 29th of June in that city in perfect health, and was received in the most affectionate manner by the Emperor, both the Empresses, and all the Imperial Family. HAMBURGH, JULY 14. ' In the Cerres i teedent is the following under the bead of a Letter from London, Bth .11tly :..04 After. numerous applications to the Ministers, the advocates' of the Baden Emigrants, who have been brought hither from Holland, have at length succeeded in procuring them a passage to Canada. Mr. Gout bourne, First Secretary in the Colonial Department of Lord Bathurst, yesterday ordered a vessel for them, and all who engage, in writing, to pay the passage money back to the Governor of Canada, are to be conveyed thither in this ship. But, besides these Baden erntrants, the number of whom may amount to 160, and whose emigration WAS allowed by the Baden Government, (it having bees publicly announced from the pulpits in Baden that every one could obtain a passport to America) there are besides, in Lon: on, upwards of twenty emi grants, chiefly from Wurtemberg ; but the Minister, Earl Bathurst, has positively refused to do any thing for these people. _ _ ei Nay, at the moment that he granted the con ve)•ance to the Baden emigrants, he &dared that all emigrants who should be landed by foreign ships in London, or upon the English coast, should be im mediately conveyed back in boats to the countries from the coast of which they came. It is necessary that this should be made public, in order to preserve the poor emigrants from a bitter disappointment of all their hopes." Exchange on London. 11th July, 34. to 34. 3. Boston , Papers to the 23d, and New York to the 24th ultimo, reached us just as this Paper was putting to Press. The only news worth noticing, ment;ons the arrival of the brig Junius at Philadelphia, on the 21st, in thirty-three days from Bahia. Of course all must have sailed about the 18th, two days before the reported capture of Pernambuco. A report was in circulation when the Junius sailed. that Monte Video and Rio Grande had been taken by the Buenos Ayres army ; and that a part of the tro ips sent from Bahia against Pernambnco.had joined the Insurgents. Both of these reports require confirmation. The Duke and Duchess of NORTHUMBERLAND left their house in St. James's•square yesterday, for their seat, Sion House.

Mr. and Mrs. CHARLES Komi are gone to France, where they had placed their children. The former peaceeds to Geneva, where he has some claim to property in right of his wife, whose mother was a native of that place. At the Lyceum, last night, when Mr. WILKINsON, in the character of Hodge, said, "'They cannot send me to gaol for carrying letter, unless there be trea son in it," the house burst into a roar of laughter and of applause that lasted for several minutes. The Opera was well performed. and there was a full house. The new saloon, with its beautiful shrubbery, is very attractive. Vaexunr.c-Gannon.—The fineness of the wea ther yesterday evening attracted a numerous assem blage of visitors to this elegant scene. The perfor mances of Madame SAQUI on the tightrope, which are substituted for the cascade, display extraordinary strength and agility; and her ascent on the rope amidst the discharge of fire-works is among the most singular and striking exhibitions we have ever witnessed.
