The day before yesterday, at six in the morning, his Majesty the Emperor arrived here, to the great joy of the inhabitants. His Majesty immediately repaired to the Cathedral Church, returned thanks so Heavex, and then drove to the Winter Palace, and afterwards to Karrenovostrow. his Majesty's usual summer residence. The same Morning the Empress Mother came irota• Pawiow. - 1. Prince Constantine is also returned. Yesterday there was a solemn Thanksgiving in the Casar Cathedral for his Majesty's happy return, at which the whole Imperial Family attended. His Majesty rode to the church amid the incessant accla mations of the people. It is impossible to describe the excess of the general joy. The Metropolitan Ambrosius, with all the Arch bishons and the Clergy, received his Majesty at the church door, and performed Divine Service. The illuminations will continue for three days. To-day all the Members of the Imperial Council of the Senate and the Synod are invited to dine with his Majesty. COPENHAGEN, AUGUST 9. The English Ambassador, Mr. Foster, is arrived here from Schonen, and will deliver his credentials in a few days. On the 10th the other Commissioners will have the'r audience of leave. The conviction with which these distingtiished men, purposely chosen by their Governments, leave Copenhagen, that Denmark has shewn, in respect to Norway, its characteristic integrity, will have, we hope, the influence in favour of the kingdom, which King and people may expect after so many sacrifices and sufferings. LUBECK, AUGUST ra. General Vandamme has met with a remarkable ac. ciJent the ship, on board which he was, was struck by lightning in the I)..ltic and greatly damaged. It was forced to stop at Gahland, sr hen General Van el.:mrne came on bond a Swedish vessel to Warne mur.J. Thus travelling in the character of a Post master, he was recognized at Rostock, and only the ioterfr.ence of the military saved him from the fury - of the people. He left Rostock amid many expres bions of indignation towards him, and pelted by The boys in the streets with mud and stones. BRUSSELS, AUGUST IS. Numbers of English families continually arrive at Brussels, to enjoy the agreeable society which this city affords to strangers, and also the picturesque and diversified beauties of the environs. The English always had a particular attachment to the capital of Brabant. The hovels and lodging-houses which have klog Wood empty are crowded with strangers; among other distinguished persons now here, is the celebrated Lady Hamilton. The English company of comedians, act to-night for the krst time. The numbn of foreign troops who are to occupy the Veil; ian frontiers till the conclusion of the Con-. gross at Vienca, now fixed.

It is believed that several new - corps of Belgian troops will be .irnmediately raised. • All the Austrian Officers, civil as well as military, who were here on missions from their GAvernment, have lett us, fram time to time, to re:r.rn to Ger- Tinny. The Prussian Officers still here are consi dered as travellers. The Piince of Orange Nassau has taken a step which ensures him the blessings of the inhabitants of Brussels, who fur these four years have been deprived cf the income of their capitals. The city was able to pay, but when the time of payment arrived, the money was sent by the Government tO Paris. They are no to twelve the interest Per ail, and la, die sequel for 1612, 1813, and 1814. BRUSSELS. AUGUST 17. The Duke of Wellington is still in this city : hits . protracted - stay is attributed to various political and military objects. His Excellency, accompanied by his Royal Highness the Hereditary Prince of Orange, has been to Namurs, to examine the situation of the city, and the remains of the works, as well as the fort, upon the hill at the conflux of the Sambre and the Meuse. The Prince and the English General were received with inconceivable joy. The Dutch General, with the Commandant General Stedman at their head, were under arm:. The people took the horses from the carriage and drew it, amid the loudest acclama. tions, with ringing of bells and firing of cannon, to the Hotel. The Hereditary Prince and the Duke, with several Officers of the Engineers, immediately began to exa mine the place, on which they employed two whey.days. Every thing indicates that Namur will soon be made a place of arms of the first magnitude, and one of the chief bulwarks of Belgium. Chaleroi, Mons, Tournay, Menin, will likewise be strengthened, iod With Y pus and Veurne, make a strong barrier tnivetds the French frontier. It is affirmed, that England is inclined to contribute the great expense that this will occasion. it is said that two Couriers have arrived at Ostend, from London, with dispatches of the highestimpor ,tance. The English and American Commissioners, at Ghent, have had four conferences ; but it 'seems, from several measures that are there taken, that the negotiations will be of long duration. Many addresses have been presented to the Prince of Orange, requesting that our Provinces may be permitted to send Commissioners to Vienna, during the Congress, to watch over our interests. PRICE OF BREAD. This day the LORD MAYOR, having inspected the Idealweigher's Rendus, ordered the price of Bread •to be raised two Assizes, which is Fourpence in the Ptck Loaf; to take place on Thursday next. Ths Quartern Loaf will then be One Shilling and a Penny. Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, her MA JESTY, accompanied by the Princesses Eriza.zurir and MARY, left Windsor, and proceeded to the Ranger's house in Richmond Park, which the Princess ELIZA BETH inspected for the first time since her Royal High nesstas been aPpolhted Ranger of that park. They then proceeded to honour the Countess of CARD:GA with a visit, where they partook of some refreshment. The Royal party then proceeded to the house of Vis count SIDNIOUTH, in Richmond Park, where they dined, and left there a little before eight o'clock, for the Queen's Palace. . Sunday, her MAJESTY had a select party of the neighbouring Nobility at Frogmore, to celebrate the Duke of CLARENCE'S birth-day. The following copy of a certificate has been pub. lished : ~ CERTIFICATE.

Accordin7 to all accounts; there is nothing like gents, et.:scaction in Fiance, and particularly in 1' is. The Nation may, at present, be divided into two great parties—those that think that ton much remains of BONAPARTE, and those that think that too little remains of Bonavanvit. The recognition of BottAPAntes Senate, and .his appointment to offices ecclesiastical, civil,. and milittry, appears to many to be a strange arnalganationsavith the restoration et the House of Boufaa: Others ihiak that' BONA-. pearl would have maintained the Glory—the great word, idol of the French-4 the Empire. They :orget his Conscriptions, and that his system of main, twining his inns and tyranny by foreign conquest, was vice exhausted—it had exhausted itself. The very pains that are taken by the KING and PRINCES to conciliate the love and attachment of the Parisians, seem to provoke their arrogance. The French are not to be governed without a rod. The Marquis de TOIICY knew them well. He did not recommend a rod—but he was afraid of betraying an earnest wish to please them : his maxim and motto, respecting the management of the French populace, was o Ni grace, ei fort." It not in France only that we may dis cover an illnstrition of the wisdom of this maxim. The great pains, we had almost said the extravagant pains, that were lately taken by the Palma Itsastar, to gratify the Londoners by magnificent spectacles, ended in a riot, and the necessity of reading, or pre paring to read, the Riot Act!

Arrived here yesterday the ship Sir Edward Pel: lew, Captain KeLLY, trom Quebec: sailed fiom the' above port the 20th ultimo, under convoy of the. CENTAon, 74., and CYANE sloop of war, about thirty. seven sail in company : on the Banks of Newfound land, parted from the fleet in thick weather. On Monday last, when about two and a half degrees to the westward of Torry (Ireland), was captured by the American sloop of war Peacock, which plundered her aif part of her cargo (staves), a few barrels bees, cordage, &c. and allowed her to proceed. The day I previous, the Peacock took the William, Wttr►•rwAY, from St. Andrew's (North Britain), for thin port, timber-laden, and sunk her : she had also taken t h e slo►►p Peggy and Jean, Duacatir, of Rothesay, Iron► Liverpool to Limerick ; the sloop Leith Packet, or Campbeltawn, from Teneriffe to Dublin; and the sloop William and Ann, from Glasgow to Clare—the crews of which vessels have arrived ►n the Sir Edward Pellew. It was only to the accumulation of British prisoners on board the American that the S►r Edward Pellew's being given up could be attributed. The Peacock was steering North, supposed for the pur pose of watering at the Orkneys, or some of the Nor thern Islands. The Wanderer, from Newfoundland to Corunna, is reported also to have been taken by the Peacock The Nancy Barr, sailed in the above fleet for New foundland. Arrived on Tuesday morning the brit Matilda, CONNELp from Newfoundland, in 15 days: sailed under convoy of the CIakCENT frigate, any parted in thick meather five days after sailing. 11, Earl of Selkirk,JonNsToN, Wasin the fleet for London.

" The Peacock had destroyed twelve vessels on the cruise s and notblog but the thick,weather prevented the damage being much more extensive, as it was the erigiaal intention to clear the South channel.

From the letters by the Dutch Mail which were delivered trom the Post Office yesterday, it appears that the John Adams, the sailing of which ship for America was so confidently reported, still remains without a sail set in the Texel, and her present in. sanctions are to take her departure on Thursday, ths 25th inst. but at all events to wait until she receives d'spatches from the American Commissioners at Ghent. The only ships the Commissioners will then have at their disposal in Europe, are the Neptune. Captain Jones, and the Chauncey, C t aptain Dusts. TER. the former of about 32 tons, was purchased ex. pressly for their accommodation, and it was intended that in her they should return. One of our letters from Amsterdam, however, mentions, that it is ex. I petted this vessel will sail about ten days after the John Adams, and that she will take our the ulti, maturn of the. British Government, with observe:ions' on the probable result of the negociation. The Iliir A .-nester has arrived at Portsmouth from the Havannah, which place she left on :he 4th of July ; but by some vessels which boarded her from the. same port, she obtained letters tint Europe, dated the 10th of that month. The CONQUOTADOEI roan of war had reached the liavannah from Jamaica s and it was intended that, .ahe should join the fleet from thence. Tote seas in the neighbouthood of the Island of Cuba swarmed wiis priest:a:l and pirates every description. One of the:atter tcmk threw vessels, which were prizes to a Spanish slop of 211 guns, although she hers. 4 had old! two guns on board. On the Spsni..rd's appealing at the Havan nah, after this disgrace or misfortune, his a,,0100r was, that his crew would not tight. The ilurtr,omas...e met with the YAlt, American ship, which had twelve long guns and six cArronades. Her crew cynsisted chiefly of negroes and boys, and which ronstere4 only 50. She has c 'pored two aressels off the coast art Ireland.. A Geatleman who was passenger by the B , irgo. master, was at St. Domingo in the month of Jur.e, and he swes, that bath King Hasse and President PETON were making prep...reit:us tor a terribk test, which it was expected would !determine the fate ,:f the island. All the important occurrences in En. rope were known there, but they seemed to have pro duced nn effect on the minds of the pretenders to poi*er ; and there appeared not the slightest dispesk aim in zither of the competitors to resign his autho rity to the parent State. The fleet of Parton was d7smansied, but HENRY had three or four ships at sea. Here also Pirates ,infested every part of the adjacent waters, and sailed under all colours, as plunder directed. A Letter from Copenhagen, dated Aug. f.l; says ; " We learn that the Swedes have taken the Island of Kragera, atter a resistance whiCh cost them 1600 men. Their attacks were directed upon five points, but they were repulsed at three. The Norwegians dismounted several pieces of cannon, and desttoyed 14) sail of the 'Swedish flotilla: they yielded to the numbers and the obstinacy of the assailants. The inhabitants of Frederickstadt have •evacuated their houses, declaring to the Common enemy, that he may do what he pleases with their houses, but that he shall never make them Swedes. In the mean time the Swedes, by the occupation of this Island, have ac quired a great preponderar.ce at sea. The country is. its short, well attacked and well defended." The tiNo of Fitnace, on the eve of his quittiiv; England, as we noticed at the time, with affability And kindness said to the good hisnor of Usu. and i.thers of the Catholic Clergy, that whenever the Throne should be re-euablished, he would bum , iAssly me about the restoration of the Altar.
