FLANDERS M4IL. BRUSSELS, OCTOBER 11. The following piece has just appeased in this city : ea afesiEfotioa of the Ensli:h Monopoly, or the wishes ofl tie:Belgians realized.—The great question of oath nal and commercial interest, which has long employed the patriots of all countries, is on the eve of being ' saved ; in Belgium nothing is wanting but to will ; aril what the genius of Napoleon could realize only in part, notwithstanding all his power and extraordi nary measures, which were often injurious to com merce, the Belgians will attain, by a means very simple in principle, and very easy in its execution. . . . . Honour and glory to the Ghent Patriots, and to the Founders of the Society established in the City of Ghent, for the encouragement of the National Islanufactines of the Kingdom of the Netherlards ! . . . They have recognized importance for ti:e preservation of our establishments, and they have adopted this means as the only remedy to be opposed to the enemies of the National industry. . . . " The impulse is given ; it is sufficient to perse. sire, and the persons who are interested in the im portation of foreign goods, which is so injurious to our commerce, will soon be sensible of the necessity of submitting to a measure which is acknowledged to be indispensable for the support and advantage of our manufactories, the productions of which, meet ihg with customers, will shortly attain the highest degree rd pro perity " To effect this, and to paralyze the disastroas effects of the system of introducing foreign merchan dise, and p irticularly articles of English manufac ture, which are snore directly in competition with ours, it will. be proper to give the entire preference to the produce in our manufactories, and to follow in this respect the example of our neighbours, adopt. ing the same means, Is right of reprisal, in respect to every thing which dues not make a part of our national indosts y. (The author observes, that on the marriage of the Princess Charlotte, her whole household was ordered to be dressed in English manufactures, and that her Royal Highness's dressmakers were forbidden to employ any thing foreign, wider pain of losing her custom; and that the l'since Regent desired those who apptlhed at his Coot t to be dressed in articles of English in inufacture.) " Let us imitate this example; let us impose on out selves a slight sactifice for the public good. Let us hope that the Government will see the necessity of seconding the efforts, and the wishes of the Belgian patriots let us cease to be tributaries to a nation so exc l us i ve , 6 ,, jealous, and so interested in the annihi lation of our manufactures. • Let us be penetrated with this great truth, and the declared enemies of foreign industry will soon pet ceive all the effects of it. It is the only means to oppose to the system which is destructive of our commerce, and the sole measure to be adopted to prevent the ruin of our manufactories, and to succeed in shaking off the yoke of the English monopoly.

The projected visit of Lied CASTLZRIAGH to Dover Castle bas been delayed, probably owing to business which requited the attention of the Cabinet. On Widitesday 4 Council, summoned by his Lordship, met at halt-past two, and sat two hours. It WAS attended by Lord CASTLIINZAGH. the Earl of LIVEN POOL, the CIIANCILLLOR Of EXCHZQUIR, Viscount Stostouve, Earl BATHURST, and Mr. CANNING,. And yesterday another Cabinet Council, summoned by Lord CAATLERSAUIi, met at two o'clock at the Foreign Office. The Earl of Liviatroot., previous to his Attending the t; 'tined, had an audience of the Panes Renato'. at Carlton House, at one, which lasted near an hour ; the Noble Earl then proceeded W the Foreign Office. The Council was attended by the saute Ministers as that held on Wednesday, exce pt Viscount %MOUTH, who was prevented from attend by indisposition. The Council sat till five , g an d after it - broke u 1 the [Mgt WAS communicated ;o * . the Panics 4tostre at Carlton House. . . We u nderst ,, od that the :stack on the Pastors 'of G i nego was begun by A young Genevese Minister, who ettended some of the religious meetings et Me- Pars ago $ and who dame liuticterues, about two t h e n wrote a letter to the general body of the Clergy el Geneve, charging many of them with Arianiorn. ti was this 'Cliff which product • d the .6 ReglerriFee , alluded to in our Piper of yesterday, Probibilios arc preaching on certain topics essentially connected with "he ritneitallt Religion, especially as heretofore pro- lensed at Geneva. A Scotch Cenaelnan who leaded At Geneva in the beginning of this year took up ti - e cause of the young Minister, and printed several re. ligions tracts calculated to explain the Calvinist dec. trines. He was succeeded by another Gentleman (Mr. Dill 1111110141)) who has also addressed a letter to the Pastors accusing them of having deviated from the tenets cf their own Church. This letter the Pastors laid before the Government of Geneva, in the hype that Mr. Drtestmesto would be expelled tram the territory ; but this step has not yet been taken; and we should hope that this mode of settling a controversy will never be resorted to in a city which took such a leading pare in the dispute between Ca !laicism and Protestantism. Mr. DRVIIMOND has, however, coesented for the present to suppress the i publication of his letter ; but he continues at Geneva, busily employed in triperintemling a faithful edition of the Bible, to be circulated in opposition to that of the Pastors, which is said to he mutilated and incur•. rest in many important passages. A Flanders Mail arrived at a late heir last night, From which extracts are given in another column. Their most prominent article is another eulogy on the N•cn•cuniumjitiaa Club, by whose patriotism all English commodities are to be excluded from the Netherlands. The author alludes to the order given on the mar• riage of the Princess Cunntorre, that the House• huhl should be dressed in English manufactures; and calls on his fellow-citizens to imitate this example, and impose on themselves a slight sacrifice for the public good. " Let us cease (says hr) to be tributaries to a nation so txdarkg, so jealous, and so interested in the annihilation of our manufActures." To this kind of declamation we have no objection ; nor have w e any, that the King of HOLLAND and the Prince of °DAM& should issue lusters to their domestics to dress in home manufactures. It is a fair harmless trap fur popularity. NAPOLBOIf, whose pains the author extols, with all his power, could not persuade the consumers to pay three shillings fur an article made by one person which they could buy of better quality for two ftom another. Nay, more, while crying down the nation himself and his Empress wore English Manufactures : and, we know it to be a fact, that, evenduring his Conti nental System, English muslins and stockings were ex hibited at the annual display of the products of French ingenuity as French Manufactstres 1 It is politic in Rulers to sacrifice a little to the clamours ot particu lar classes; but till these exclusionist: produce articles as good and cheap as their rivals, they will not per suade the general consumers to give them a prefe rence. That they should is impossible in the nature of things; for the customer wears nothing that is not bought by the produce of his own labour ; and however well he may wish his neighbour to prosper, ke will not quit the cultivation ot his own garden to have the satisfaction of digging gratuitously in his neighbour's Held, for his neighbour's emolument. While on the subject of commerce, we shall lay before our R'aders some particulars respecting the late Frankfort Fair, which appear in the 41(yearine Zeimeg of the 6th instant. " Our fair (say letters from Frankfort) began in a manner which destroyed even the small expectations that had been formed of it, and had s fatal influence on business of every kind ; but alter a time the gloom was dispelled by the rays of a milder sun, whose powerful influence was felt various ways. But the beneficent beams of that all-reviving planet, did not particularly illumine our . paternal oak, but the chalky cliffs of Albion. English goods (chiefly in commis sion) were in uncommon abundance, and so cheap that the London prices were higher than those at the: fair at Frankfort; and for this reason the German cosmopolitism was exceedingly disposed to take a these goods. " Our inland manufactures were in cousiderabie demand, but this was in some degree checked by the prospects of the future, which are not the most bril ham. We say this particularly of the cloth manufac turers, who disposed of their goods very cheap, chiefly in exchange for wool, watches, &c. by the kind help of Jewish activity, and then listened with defected countenance to the wool dealer, when he affirmed that no abatement could be made in the prices of his ill-woven and not sorted goods. For this reason little business was done in the wool tuck except tho above-mentioned barter ; and many manufacturers seemed to ask themselves, whether it were better, by continuing to manufacture, to accelerate the ruin of their fortunes, or by ceasing, to save that which they still possessed a The exportation of cloths to America, the distri bution of goods in the magazines of factors in all parts of the world, &c. all is not sufhcient to keep the great manufacturers in full employ; the little , ones are not by any means to be saved from ruin, as long as England with iron hand presses on the exer tions of our commerce. If the tanner sold his lea ther for the consumption of the country, the manu facturer of inferior cloths, stockings, caps, and other things absolutely necessary to the common laboorer, we cannot draw any very favourable'conclusion from this, in a city where , formerly, the amount of the business done at the fair, was calculated at millions; where there was scarcely room to lodge the concourse of foreign merchants and manuf ac tu r ers, and which was a depot fur the colonial trails of Holland. The !execs of the merchants' boOks are filled on th e debtor, side with transactions of former fairs, while on the creditor side they chew a great maw% sorra: incognita, and many tongue'd promise refers •p a fu ture fair which it is bard to believe in. 4 , The friends of art found ample enjoyment in the view of the collections of paintings exhibited by Mt. ARTARIA, from Manheim, and Mr. SANQUIRINO. from Milan. Among the pictures in the first was particularly remarked a Holy Family, by ANDREA DEL SARTO, of that masters best period ; a Cruel. fixon, by VANDYZI ; a capital Cattle Piece, by the inimitable PAUL POLLER; and a Landscape, by N. Pomona. Mr. Sannununo possesies some paintings which would shine in any gallery as jewels wf the , first water—a most valuable Magdalen, by L. DA VINCI ; the Baptism of Christ, by N. Poossna ; a fine I Landscape, by Odium ; two delicious little pictures, a Christ, and a Maria, by CARLE Donuts; a bean. tiful Corregio, and a Madonna, with the infant Christ, b 3 J. BALLINI ; which might be boldly passed off as a work of RAPIIAEL, itc." _ _ On another branch of Commerce. a•e meet with some remarks in a Quebec Paper of the 21st of Au gust deserving of attention. Our Readers know that it has been proposed to equalize in some measure the duties paid on Baltic and on Quebec Timber. Dur ing the war we were threatened with being eat off from our usual supply from the Baltic ; the duties on Colonial Timber were then lowered, and in conse quence extensive establishments were set up in our American possessions, and it has been proved that, by due encouragement, a supply equal to all our wants may be bad from that quarter, 46 Tbis trade (says the Quebec Paper) sow barely supports Itself, and the consequence of the new duty must be Its entire destruc dot ; for we have no other market than that of Great Britain— we ere wet tesseitherie hew fey ether. We leave our readers to figure to &fugitives what must, in the present state of the Trade of the Colony, be the consequence to the country at large, of the sud dee loss of so great a propocdon of its capons. AU the eaten• sive establishments made oil the faith of the permanency of the polity alluded to, must perish, and will probably never be re estailished. Whenever there Is a good crop in Europe, we shall have nothing to eapert but a few fors. Without exportaion, all inquctation must soon cum, and the strongest link of connexion ' between this county and Great Britain be broken." The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this mnrrii.l. As the period for the meeting of the Chambers proaches, the Parisian Press begins again to teem with brochures on the matters which are expected to come before it, and the duties which the Members will !lave to perform, in respect to their country and their sovereign. The Journal dr Commerce has com menced the wordy strife by a laboured article on the State of the Public Spirit, as affected by the Represtntative System, in which a great shew of liberality is vainly attempted to be made a cover for the truly Ministerial spirit by which it is mani. festly dictated. Toe object of the article, which we have given at length in our preceding columns, is to impress the people of France with the rare and comfortable belief, that no people in the world possess a more independent representative body than they do—that no people were ever ruled by Ministers who had less influence on the delegates of the people than they have—that the• English Parliament, with all its blasted independence, and all other Parliaments, sink into nothing, when compared with the sincere, the honest, the interruptible French Chamber of Deputies! Our only wi►h, says the writer, was to establish " the notable difference which esists between us and our neighbours under one of the relations of the Consti tutional System I" Creek pod hake, et hake—lie- Ilene you enjoy what you enjoy not. Such is the old state trick which it appears the French Ministers want to play off on the French people ; who will be easy of belief indeed—much easier than we suppose them to be, if they can be duped by any such palpable fiction. The Duke of ANGOULZISZ set out on his tour to the western ports on Monday. His Royal Highness has intimated his desire to dispense with all fetes and other ceremonies in the course of his journey. No farther details have yet been received of the re. ported Revolution at Algiers. The late journals and letters from Marseilles de not mention any such event. It is stated in an article from Vienna, that the Poarr, desirous of giving to the Russian Government the satisfaction which it requires, has ordered the Servian Lord BIACHTA, who made CZVANY-GZORGES to be beheaded. to be arrested and given up io Rus sia to receive the punishment he merits. It is be lieved. however. that BIACHTA will be acquainted oith wild is passing in time to save himself by flight, French 5 per cents. Oct. IS. 65 t. SO c. The 9th of October was the Anniversary of the Birth of his Royal Highness Monsmon, who was born at Versailles 9th October, 1757. The King, accompanied by his august brother and the Duchess of AsmouLtioz, heard mass in the morning at the Chapel of the Thuillertes. His Royal Highness then proceeded to receive the congratulations of the Grand Dignitaries of the State, the Grand Officers of the Legion of Honour, the Ministers, Marshals, Bcc. Alter the ordinary parade, the musicians of the Gardes du Corps, of the National Guard, and of the Royal French and Swiss Guard, stationed themselves on the terrace and alternately executed the most choice airs under the windows of his Highness, who, accompanied by the Princesses, shewed i hiniself re peatedly at one of the windows, and was hailed with the liveliest transports of enthusiasm by a great crowd or people assembled in the garden. The Duchess of As:commas, accompanied by the Countess de BIRON, her Lady of Honour, were pre. sent at the grand review on th e 10 t h, i n t h e P lain of Villiets.
