FOREIGN IN7ELLIGSNCE. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. BRUNSWICK, SEP F. 24. The Princess of W.iles just remained here a fort. night, when her Royal Highness gave a grand ball and supp rat the Town Palace. A small private theatre was fitted hp, where there were performances. This palace, which was shockingly abused by the French, is now undergoing a thorough repair. King jeriime put his hand on every thing valuable and p• .rtable, and packed them off. To.day several waggons have art ived loaded with hoses of valuable paintings, which he had sent to Cassel and Paris, and which have been restored to Brunswick by agreement. A faithful domestic of the Duke's bad concealed it his house in town, during the whole usurpation, and at the risk r.f severe punishment, many valuable ar ticles of the Brunswick family, which fortunately esc.rped the claws of the Usurper. It was remarked, that during ex Princess' residence here, she sat hi n;n: or the apartments which had been occupied by • - .ler me and his wife. A Lady in the suite of her H; j'!IeSS was marred a few days after her arrival, t. a' Officer in the Staff of the Duke, when she gave lier elPgant present. The Duke has gone to Vienna. It is said he has an ey- at some part if Hanover. Su .h was :h- in% e eracy of the French, when in pr.s:,ession of !his place, against the Island of A!bion ; th..; they actually issued a law prohibiting any per sail from speaking the English language under pain of being seized and punished ! It is said the Princess of Wales will return here next J nuary. She has a large retinue and 40 servants. Large quantities of goods are passing through this place to the fairs of Frankfort and Leipsic. A bust of the Emperor Alexander is erected at the principal gate leading into Frankfort. i BRUSSELS, OCTOI3ER 1. An important Decree relative to the press has just been published, abrogating all the French laws on that subject. Every one is responsible for what he writes and publishes, for what he prints, sells, and distributes ; the printer alone is responsible if the au thor is unknown. Every thing printed to have the name of the author, the printer, the date, and place of publication. The property of a work is in the author, his widow and heirs, for their lives. An original. MS. in the hand of a stranger cannot be printed during the lives of the author, his widow, and heirs. All printt.d editions printed in Belgium, or introduced from abroad, to be conficated for the profits of the author, and a fine of the value of 300 copies. As our Paper was going to Press, we received Paris Papers of Monday. They contain a continuation o. the debate of Saturday on the introduction of foreign iron into France. The Mositeur contains a long or. dormancy, regulating the duties on tobacco, and the culture and manufacture of that article, which is made a Royal Monopoly, as formerly. The Archduchess MARIA LOU/SA and the Princess of WALES were at 13.2rne, in Switzerland, on the 21st ult. The latter Princess proceeded towards Lau sanne, whence it is added she goes to Geneva, having hired a country seat at Sechairon, near that city. We presume that the Memoir alluded to in the sub joined article. is *that of Marshal DAVOUST. Mr. roster, the English Minister at the Court of COpenliagen, who returns to England during the ab sence of tip- King of Denmark at Vienna, sets off to morrow from I-Limburgh, where he has arrived. The King and Queen of Sweden returned from Gottetiburgh to Stockholm on the 22d of September. The Crown Prince remains' at Gotteuburgh to settle the affairs of Norway. Politicians are very anxious to innw the course of Vocee-ling that will be adopted at the Congress of ienna. It is still - unknown whether the bases . as arranged by the Plenipotentiaries of the principal rowers will be publielfoiscussed in Congress, or only announced for approbation. In truth, the mode of proceeding may be supposed to create no little diffi culty. The following extracts, from the German Okerver of the `2lst of September, with reference to this great assembly, are interesting : 6 , The future settlement of the equilibrium of Eu rope, the final arbitration with regard to countries :1141d provinies whose fate has not yet been definitively dscided, the first bases of the Germanic Constitution, are now the great topics which attract the attention not only of the Vienna public, but of all Europe.-- Here the best hopes are entertained of the Congress • and it is trusted, that, in spite of all di f f i culties in th e way of the work of peace, as complete a general ba lance will be established as circumstances will permit. The intelligent are also convinced, that even the de lay of the Congress, though it may have occasioned a prolongation of the provisional state of many pro vioces, was necessary, for the most weighty reasons, and will upon the whole 'prove to have been highly s '• The following is a list of the diplomatic per- We lament to state that the crews of the ships of tr,nages who hare hitherto arrived : war which have lately arrived from Jamaica, have Foe Esau-min.—Lord Castlereagh, Mr. Under Secretary suffered much from fever.

PARIS. OCT. t. Several Booksellers and Hawkers have been arrest. ed ; they are accused of having sold and distributed libels, of which it is high time to prevent the circula tion. Seditious Pamphleteers do all they can to mis lead the minds of the people; but the people have been so often deceived, that they will read their works no more. They neither find readers nor accomplices, and we may apply this line to them : " La vertue n'en veur pas; le crime n'en veut plus !" Attempts have : been made to circulate a certain Memoir, which the author promised not to make public :—it is very imprudent in him to publish a work which inculpates rather than justifies him. To speak a language which ought to be familiar to him, we may say that it is a Bomb which will bunt among thou who have :hot it. Mr. Bayard, the American Commissioner, left Paris, for Ghent, yesterday. Yestcr:lay morning, nt eleven o'clock, the Duke of YORK had an audience of the PRINCE R ►GENT At Carl ton House, and afterwards set ofEfor Windsor. THE WA.R IN AMERICA. In attempting to give a short sketch of the manner in which the war against the United States should be conducted, in order to secure a glorious and ho nlurable peace, we think it right to call to the recol lection of our Riders the geographical position of the territories of this now our only enemy. Extending along a line of Sea-coast from North to South of not less than 2300 stiles, with numerous harbours, these States possess only a narrow track in breadth, bounded on the West by the Apalachian, or Blue Mountains. Of the American territory west of this ridge we have no occasion to speak here. Prom this extensive line of coast and fine harbours, l the States, evea long before their separation from Great Britain, had become a great Commercial country ; and the war, which convulsed Europe soon alter the declaration of their independence, having made them almost the sole neutral flag, their ship ping and commerce increased in a degree to which they had no title, under any other circumstances, to expect. This favourable state of things brought such an influx of wealth into the Confederacy as seemed to' have the effect of turning the heads of their leading citizens. If we add to this the sudden rise of BONA.. PARTE, the solidity his power seemed to have obtain ed, and the promises which he gave to the leaders of the democratic faction to assist them in the conquest of the British provinces in America, we wll no longer be surprizcd at the line of conduct pursued by Vie Government of the United States. Wheiwr this line of conduct was politically right or wrong, is not now the question. But it is fair to take it as a beacon to our own Goverment, and as holding out to their view the points which, under a different termination of the war in Europe, would have been vulnerable, in order that the measures to be taken in future fur frustrating the designs of the United States against the vital interests of the British Empire may be ren dered more apparent. It was under these impressions that, in our Paper of the 19th ultimo, we gave our opinion frankly as to the terms upon which his Majesty's Government *tight to make Peace with America : and althoug!l these terms have been censured by some as too over bearing, and although it has been stated by others that the American Government wouli risk every thing rather than agree to them, yet we are prepared to skew that they are neither unreasonable in them selves, nor derogatory to the honour of the enemy. We shall proceed to give shf:rtly our ideas of the mode in which the war should be conducted; and we venture to predict, that if his Majesty's Government should adore a similar system, the contest will be of short duration. Our idea is, that a force of 20,000 men should be well organized and held disposable for operations on the sea-line of the States. We assert that this force may be very easily put on foot, if our Ministry are not too much occupied with paltry savings by hurry ing the reduction of our forces, both military and naval. T!ie first operation ought to be the attack of New York, where there are at present 1,500 square riizged vessels, and at least an equal number of other craft, none of them less than 150 tons. The capture of this city would of itself be a death-blow to the enemy, and would probably bring peace on our own terms. If it did not, the army ought to take pos session of Long Island, which is 30 miles in extent, rich in corn and cattle, with towns and villages suf ficient to afford comfortable cantonments for the ' troops, and with harbours to admit vessels laden with provisions and stores. From this centre, Expeditions, of adequate force, should be dispatched against all the seaports of the States in succession, the fortifications, where there are 'any, to be blown up or otherwise destroyed, with an intimation that the town would be Surnt if any at tempt was made to restore them. Private property ashore to be respected, and all provisions furnished by the country people to be faithfully paid for ; but every vessel with a privateer's commission to be taken or burnt. By carrying on the war in this manner, the sinews of the Confederacy would be broken—their system of privateering annihilated—and the States must soon be obliged to sue for peace on any terms Great Bri tain may clause to dictate. The rumour of yesterday of the American Pleni potentiaries, at Ghent, having acceded to the Preli minaries of Peace proposed by this country, is not credited. It probably arose from a paragraph in the Gazette de France, which rests on no authority. A letter was yesterday received from Brussels,which refers to another transmitted from Mr. GALLATIN, in which that Minister distinctly says, that ht gully ex pects to take his departure for the United States in a fortnight, by the Neptune cajtel. It is added by the Brussels correspondent, 4 4 As far as I can judge of the inuendoes in Mr. GALLATIN'S letter, there can be no prospect whatever of peace." Our letters from Havre, received yesterday, refer to others from Bourdeaux, in which it is mentioned that very serious disturbances had taken place in that city, on account of the rise in provisions, consequent on the exportation of grain. At Havre the shipment of corn was continoed without molestation or difficulty. Letters were received yesterday from St. John's in Newfoundland, dated 12th ult. Five masters of ships had just landed, whose vessels had been captured by the Americans, and a few days before, twelve more of them had been set on shore under the like circum .stances. Such was the extent of the maritime depre dations in that quarter. HILDESHEIM, HANOVER, SEPT. 26. Largo of the Prussian troops are passing th:'otigit here on their route from Paris to Berlin. They are a strong body of men. HANOVER, SEPTEMBER 27. In consequence of the Hanoverian dominions being restored to the rightful owner, the King of Britain, large boards aro put up in front of all the turnpike gates, arid painted red, with the initials " G.
