Sr. Many's, JULY s.—List Sunday the Patriot force (as 1 %sow you was expected) wok possession of Amelia island, under Sir Gregor bleGregor, their commander. Though there were in all about 200 men on board the transport, brig, and schooner (the body nude that west engaged s in this service), yes Amelia was taken by the small force of 65 or l'O men. Their commander landed with this small party from the brig that had come to anchor between the points of Cumberland and Amelia, on Amear beach, immediately opposite to the vessel, from ***lce they marched to Fernandina, a distance f five or six miles. Fernandina, the name of the town on Amelia bland, is defended in front by a fort mounting seven carriage guns, six of them long eighteens, and by two block-buses in the rear, which comm.ind the only way by which an enemy can approach ; and when it was taken, there were at least VI men in tl e place under arms. The Patriots' party were obliged to cross a creek, in which every man was up to his waist in mud, and which was immediately under the fire of the block-houses. Though they might have been cut all to pieces, yet not a single gun was fir d. Such was the panic of the people wi,trin the town, they did not even discharge their guns before the) surrendered. 1 have been down to Amelia to view the new order of thinps, that place being only nine miles from St. Mary's, where I had the pleasure of seeing General Sir Gregor M'Gr. egor. He appears to be about 35 years of age ; his height is about live feet eight inches, and he is somewhat inclined to cor. pulency. His appearance is such, that to meet him even in ordinary life, with ordinary persona, one would still fancy there was something uncommon about him. A flag has been hoisted for Florida, the field of which is white with a blue cross. It is gene rally supposed that, as soon as a sufficient force is collected, they will march to St. Aligus,ine, f r om whence, if they are successful, which is extremely dountful, they will immediately enter West Florida. The inhabitants of the adjacent province, at pre sent, are generally not favourable to the new order of things Oaving been surfeited with revolutions), more pirticuiarly as almost every person is attached to the Governor of St. Augustine, whose character cannot be extolled too highly.

His Majesty the King of Prussia, travelling under the title of Count Ruppin, is expected shortly in this city, coming from Paris. This Monarch, after a short stay at Brussels, will return to his dominions, taking the road of Aix-la-Chapelle and Cologne. 1 A pretty considerable number of Officers, on half• pay, have just been placed in active service. Yesterday there arrived Major-Geeeral Blackford, in the service of his Britannic Majesty, from Paris ; Colonel Wood, Commander-in-Chief of the English Artillery is France. from Cambray, and several 'other Officers of the English Staff. • Avouirr 24.—The sound of all the bells, and els charges of artillery, announced to-day the anniver sary of the birth of our august Sovereign. His Ma jesty received, in his Palace, the compliments of the persons who had the honour of being presented to him. The troops of the garrison, of all arms. drawn up in grand parade on the Place Royale, drew general at tention by their fine appearance and the precision of their manoeuvres. A MUST 2.l.—The finest weather favoured the ce lebration of his Majesty's birth-day yesterday. In the evening their Majesties went curly to the Theatre- Royal, where they were received with transport.-- The Prince and the Princess of Orange came in soon after, when the acclamations were renewed. in the King's box there was, besides the Royal •Family, his Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, and the Infant of Spain (Count Moratalla). Count It. de St. Jean d'Angely •is gone to Koe• nigsberg. The event which has occurred to his wile has made him return from America. Letters from Vienna say, that a negotiation is spoken of between the Austrian Government and the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the object of which ik to charge the latter with the pensions of all the Bel gian Emigrants, who have followed with equal on- Istancy and devotedness the cause of Austria amidst the misfortunes of war, and who, since the year 1791, ' have forsaken their country. It is well known that these pensions, the whole value of which does not exceed 80,000 florins, are paid only to persons alto reside in the Austrian States. By means of these new arrangements, our countrymen, who have fled to a foreign land, would return to their country, after having !opt, it is true, their fortunes and em ployments, by a fidelity very rare in the times we live in ; but they would at least have the consolation of terminating their career in the land of their nail. aity.

Brunels Papers arrived last night, from which we have given extracts in another column. The follow. ing are from Papers received this morning by the Dutch hl4ll : COLMAR, AUGUST 10. General Frimont, Commander in Chief of tl.e Austrian Corps. is now here again. Within these few days he has received frequent dispatches from the Grand Headquarters of the Duke of Wellington. It is said that in the curse of next month the Duke will come hither, and that there will be a grand re view of al! the Austrian troops in Upper Aimee, as there was last year, in the Plain between this Cry and Mublhausen. After this, it is said, that hs Grace will go to Lower Alsace, and review all the Austrian troops there, as well as those of Wirtem berg. It is daily reported with more confidence, that. some thousands of Austrian troops will leave Alsace in October, and return to their own country. We are gathering in an excellent harvest, and have well-founded hopes of a good vintage, at least in re spect to quality if not quantity. The state of our trade, and particularly of our manufactures, is less satisfactory. Already last year there were com plaints of the want of demand fur the litter, espe cielly in the numerous snanufactorits of printed coes ; howevir they continue to weak, because better times were hope! for and because the workmen who have generally eauterous families, would otherwise have been ruined ; but as the dec:and continued to diminish, it was found necessary to proceed to reduc tions in our neighbourhood, at Mul:lheuten, in t' e Munsterthal, &c. Since the last Frankfort Fair, where our Manufacturers did on the whole but little business, the evil has increased, and the number of the workmen have again been reduced ; however, we atill reckoned on a good sale in the s 'ugh of France, and placed our hopes particu larly on the fair of Beaucaire, the most celebrated in France but those hopes are I:kewise disippointed. The tat, of Beaucaire (at least in respect to those articles which interest our manufactures) has been unfavourable beyond all expectation, so that the owners of the manufactories in Upper Alsace will see themselves reduced to the sad necessity of dis charging the greater part of their workmen—many even speak of giving up altogether, for the present. VIENNA. AUGUST 12. The voyage of our frigate the Austria, to Braz;l, which was at first delayed El so many untoward ac cidents, seems to have been latterly more I, , rtutiate. Dispatches from Baron Neven to Prince Metternich, dated Funchal, 7th June, 1817, state, that the fri gate reached Madeira in three days from Gibraltar, a voyage which usually takes six or sevi.n days. The frigate sailed the same evening, and hoped to be at Rio Janeiro, if the weather continued the same, by the middle of July. With respect to the trade of Brazil, with which we shall soon be so closely connecteo, our newspa pers say, that in 1816 there arrived at olnne 41fi Portuguese, and 513 foreign ships ; ant: 3 ?".:l'or tuzuese, and 431 foreign vessels sailed from th-:t port in the same year.
