BRUSSELS, Arts c 5. —We learn from Maef tricht. by I:tters dated the ad inftant, that an un expefted °adz:. had arrived there on the preceding day, f.,r the fudden departure of the firtt and fecond battalion of the cpith demi brigade of the line thilined for Breda. Thefe two battalions ar rived on the 3d at Mechlin, from which they fct out on the morning of the 4th for the place of their defiination. According to the fame order thefe troops are to he carried to their full comple pent of men and Officers, taken from the third, which ives reafon to prefume that they are def. tined f or a diftant expedition. The third battalion will return immediately from Venloo to Maeflricht to form the depot. This confiderable diminution of the garrifon has rendered it neceffary to have recourfe to the National Guard, to perform the Service of fome of the interior polls. The new fortifications of the town and citadel of Jailers, begun laft year with great aftivity, are going to be refumed, and the FIRST CONSUL will infpeet them on his way to the united Departments. Th e towti of Juliers, by its fituation, will become a place of the Second rank and of the fecond line, will he of great importance.

I§TIIT6 A RD, NIA RCN 29. — It is generally believed in Germany, thst the °hied of General Duaoc's joarney to 13irlin was not fo much to obtain af iurarce of what there was no room to doubt, the good difpofitions of the Court of Pruaia towards France, as to explain to his Pruflian Maielly the prefent Rate of affairs between the Englifis and French Govertimcnts, and to give a new proof of the value which the Court of the Thuilleries puts on his Priallan M.tjelly's friendlhip. The FIRST Cos, at. could not have chofen a perfon fitter for that fervice, than an Officer already known to have arquitted Limfelt fuccefsfully of feveral important and delicAte corm - n:111 , 41s which had been entrußed to him, and honoured at Beilin with the cfleem of the Court and Milliners on account of the tor vii!tr Faience and fagacity of his condird.

It reprefented to France its neceffity to aggrandize its power, and to extend its limits to thole of France, that it might be able to (land till Fiance might come to its aid. This France effeiled in the new arrangements of Germany, and the two Powers are ❑ow able conveniently to give each other mutual afliflance. France can, by means of Priam, fectire the neutrality of the Continent ; Pruflia, by means of France, fecures its indepen dence, and the tank it holds among the great Powers. On thefe principles refls the prefent tranquillity of the Getman Empire. And thefe l i arc of fuch a nature that we can entertain no fears in regard to the refult of the differences which kern at this moment to divide the two firft mat i time powers of Europe. We already find the of lefts of that policy which tends to detach England from all dilcuffions in which the interefts of the Continent are concerned, and to infulate her as entirely in politics as the is in her gemgraphical lituation. In confeqiience of this Gff.m, the alt of m?diation for the nineteen Swifs Cantons 'sas not communicated to the Englifh Government, which could have nothing to do with a hate fituated in the centre of Europe.

Betides their entrance into the frontier places of Dutch Brabant, we learn that the fmall French garrifon of Flu Ching was relieved on the soth of March and following days, b, three battalions of the 95th demi-661:4de. which had been hitherto in the pay of the Diatch Republic. FLUSHING COURANT EXTRAORDINARY, APRIL 6 FLUSHING, APRIL s—This morning arrived from Cadfand a battalion of French infantry of the Bth half-brigade, which immediately pro ceeded on its march for Middleburg. In the af ternoon arrived another battalion of the fame bri gade, which likewife proceeded for Middleburg. A battalion of the 95th halt brigade lying here in garrifonfet out at noon for Veere, and a few hours afteruards was replaced by another battalion of the fame hi igade. Our garrifon confifled hitherto ' of two battalions of the 95th half brigade. This evening, at fix o'clock, the whole gartifon came under arms in the Great Market, and Gen. Mourrer, Commander of the troops in the town' , of Flulhing and the Itle of Walcheren, accompa nied by General OSTEN and fi)me other Officers, appeared in the front, and delivered to the Com mandant of the place a Writing, which was read by the fame Commandant, and contained as fol lows: EXTRACT FROM THR REGISTER OF THE DELtIERA• ?lONS OF THE CONSULS OF THE REPUBLIC.

COTIITit= fary of the French troops, expected in this country, arrived here a few days since. Lad Monday a courier arrived here from Paris, with dilpatches for our Government, laid to be on the fubjc of the French troops which are to be poured in upon us from all quarters. This, how ever, doe,: not increnfe the appielienfion of war among u', as it is a decided matter that the meafure will not put the French Government to any additional expence ; nor will the troops per haps have any caufe to lament their tour, as it is not likely that they will be lent back either hungry I cur naked. • The courier let off on Thurfday, on his return to Paris, with an answer no doubt of the greaten condefceillion and fubmiflion. Nothing is thought of here in the commercial world but the arrival of our valuable cargoes now on the ocean. Trade is extremely dull, though prices do not vary much. All the new arrivals arc eonfigned to the warehonfe,there to remain till fomething ormore certainty is known as to peace or war. Our funds continue in a depreffed (late, although thofe of France are on the rife. The riches of this c , -,untry going from and ex paled home, is a; this moment cilimated at the trifling sum of 200,000,c001. In cafe of a rupture, the French will not be able to accomplilli their wi(hes to the fulleft ex tent, till new perfonages lucceed the prefent men in power, or at Ina a great part of them.

The rife of the French funds is one fign of peace, while, on the other hand, the marching of armies and the equipment of fleets are going on with undiminithed vigour. Great numbers of French troops Teem alfo to 'be approaching the frontiers of this country, the Commiffary for whom is already arrived at the Hague. France is endeavouring to (hut all the ports of the Conti nent againft the Engin, in cafe of a rupture ; and it is thought that war or peace depends on the an fwer which the FIRST CONSUL will receive from the Court of Peteaburgh. Many here are not without hopes that this coun try will be declared neutral, fhould hoflilities commence between France and England ; and endeavours to this purpofe are raid to be exerting with certain great Coons. The omiffion ;:f all ; warlike preparations here, either in the land or marine force, gives a momentary air of prahabi lity to this report. But it mull, however, be con- I felled as next to an impoffibility. CONSTANTINOL/, FFB. 25...-His BRITANNIC : MAJESTY has appointed the merchant, Fa.

Vl lIS tl•, MARCH 2.4..—Several couriers havelate- Iy arrived here from 141 . 4 and London, whole difpatches have a relation to the prefent flate of things between the Britiffi Government and the French Republic. Both parties are endeavouring to imprefs our Court with the juftice of their caufe, and to employ all the advantages which the weight of argument can give. To recommence a conti nental war at the inflance of England, would be impolitic at this moment, if not impradicable ; and to join Fr.tnce in her views againil England, would be ungrateful, and at the fame time unpro duaive of any folid good. MARCH is now again Paid that the mar riage of the Archduke PALATINI with the Princefs of BADIN will take place. Their nuptials are to be celebrated at Cracow, inflead of Petertburgh. At the former place, the two Emperors are ex. 1 petted to be prefent on this occalion.

The arrelling of feveral faithlefs and fufpicious placemen in the Italian provinces Rill continues. The Confort of Lewis XVIII. lately given over by her Phyficians, is now perfealy recovered. It was not at Pyrmoot that the lay ill, but at the cane of Waldungen, the place of her refidence. FRAN C ICT °RT.
