correspondence between London and Ghent was never so brisk as at this moment. _ _ _ Yesterday morning we had at last the pleasure of seeing his Royal Highness Prince William Frederick, youngest son of our beloved Sovereign, arrive in this city, in. order, like his Illustrious Father, to honour with his presence our celebrated University, founded by his great ancestor William I. to reward the valour of the citizens of Leyden, in 1575. His Highness gave an audience to the Civil and Military Authori ties, and was congratulated on his arrival in the name of the University by the Rectors and Professors in .their dresses of ceremony. His Royal Highness re ceived the Address of the Deputation with the greatest affability. BRUSSELS, NOVEMBER 2. It is remarked, that the Prussian troops in garri son at Leige seem to be making preparations that in. dilate their speedy departure. If these troops should lixtve that city; they will be succeeded by Belgian troop, in garrison at Hassell. As for the garrison of - Luxembourg, it seems that it will remain there till 'she' late of that province is decided at the Congress. • intapectation of the return of Mr. Dallas, or at taw 'of ne* instructions, which will follow his arrival in America, the exchange of notes between the re spective Ministers still continues. If on the one hand the negotiations are less active, on the other hand, they are very far front being broken off. This week the Americans give another grand entertainment, at which the English Ministers will be present. The sailing of the American frigate the Neptune to Brest 1 is already universally considered as a circumstance!, wholly unconnected with the negotiations. . , - PRIVALEUTTER:—MENNA; 6C - rbark 16. • ThaPreparatory Commission is unemployed, and PrOhaltilyeannOt be occupied at present, except with the orgaukartion of the Congress, in order to give time to the .griat'lsOlircrito. estill2ol3q the obstacles which every - day'iliereise - ai to the future destiny of Poland 1 and Saxony.

In consequence, the Plenipotentiaries of France, England, Atlitria, and even Prussia, have addressed themselves isonte say, together—others, separately, as is more probable) to his Imperial bila. )cl4, in order to induce him to relinquish his Jeterini-; nation of incorporating Poland with die Russian Empire. The effect which these - measures produce on the Rus ,ia4.l Monarch will be judged from the progress of. the Preparatory Commission.. If it remains unem ployed, it may be coucludird thfit his Imperial Ma jesty continues inflerble, and that the' epoch of the Congress is retarded, or, perhaps,' will not take ptace.

CELLOR of the EXCHEQURR gave notice of a motion with a view to erect a monument to the memory of General Ross, who fell in front of Baltimore. We do not believe there is a Britisl: heart which does not beat in unison with the wishes of the Right Honour able Mover on this occasion, and we trust that, in addition, ►he \Vidow and Children of this gallant and enterprising Officer, will lie taken under the especial protection of a grateful country. It becoms the Government of such a magnanimous nation alone to be the Esecntors of the dying ejaculations, by which the memory of the unfortunate Hero was still farther endeared to every feeling mind! Nor ought the memory of the gallant Sir PETER PARKER to be forgotten: the naval services, as well as the transcendant merits of him, who was one of its most distinguished ornaments, also require some Pnb-, lic atiknowledgroent. He too died for his con :try ! Remote as the period now is, many of our Readers may still recollect the manner in which we expressed ourselves when Poland was blotted from the Map of Europe, as an independent Power; by Russia, A list; i t and Prussia, dividing it among themselves—. a partition afterwards guaranteed by the then existing Government of this country. We reprebated the measure as a most audacious act of tyranny—and as being highly impolitic ; in as much as it ft 1111161164 i. most dangerous example, founded on thB most unto.. nable principle, that expediency and state necessity might be urged in justification of acts in themselves immoral and unjust. By this act and the arguments urged in its defence, the Powers then allied against France sapped the foundation of the ancient priLitical structure of the great European family, and opened the flood-gates of • innovation and change—letting in a torrent which had well nigh swept away every vestige of social order and civilization from the old world. It will be seen by the letter from Vienna, in ano ther column, that the affairs of Poland, as might have been anticipattd, present considerable difficulties, at the present mounnt. It would appear that partition, or incorporation, is still the aim of some of the Great Powers. Alas, Alas ! have they not had a sufficient !—ln retracing their steps their first act ought to be a remedy for their first blunder—their fir:,t dere. fiction from public morality. They ought to find a ma ma& for Polansl, and to guarantee the independe;lce ski . dust-kingdom. By such au act. they will perfectly establish the confidence of the general prpula:ion of Europe in the soundness oT the principles by vAlich the different Powers ate guided in forming the pre sent arrangements; and they will thus scenic their future hearty concurrence and co-operation with their respective rulers, hi every effort and sacrifice which may be required for the general safety, against the aggressions of any ambitious Potentate. Today we received Paris Papers of Sunday. One or two articles from Italy would impress a belief that MunAT, as King of Naples. is in high favour with the Emperor of Ausrata. On the other hand, an ar tick from Augsburgh repeats the statement lot metly given, that the only subject on which tilsatAT's repro - sentatives, at Vienna, have been allowed to speak, has 'bawl that of an indemnity. We find that his troops, on entering Pesaro, furnished a guard of ho nour to the residence of the notorious Gown - , Prince of the Peace, who is diem confined. It is quite natural that MURAT should have a fel, lox-feeling for GODOY—Arsaihr am3o! This mark of respect to a traitor will doubtless have its weight with the Plenipotentiaries of the legitimate Sovereigns now at Vienna, when they come to discuss MURAT'S in. detnnity. BONAPAUTE has made another abortive attempt, by means of his Polish Guards, to carry off the Ex- Empress MAMA LOUISA. He is no longer the 4 , Im junior Oicsoluefefim!"

The Jamaica Papers notice the death of Rear-Ad miral Banwx, the Naval Commander on that station, on Tuesday, the 20th September. He was buried with military honours next day. He was a Zealous and experienced Officer, and his death will be re garded as a public loss. He has left a widow and nine children.
