Chalks Doily, well known by several publi- cations, particularly by ot4e called; the Inh•bi. gaits of the Mom, ha• just been arrested. He is under a guard in ' , is town-house, where he bas already un dergone several examinations. A journal' says that the pi-c.i.f . :. of his crime are to be found in an address to the King, in which he claims, for an English house, £lOO,OOO sterling. Though this address is printed few persons have read it; but those in whose hand] hat fallen are astonished at the boldness of the outlier. Yesterday thc Envoys Extraordinary and Minis ters Plenipotentiary of the United States of America, who are commissioned definitively to arrange the commercial relations between the two nations and to conclude a treaty to iMs effect, presented their cre dentials to the King in the usual form. Their Excel. lencies 'had the hurt ur to dine with his Majesty at the P. , l ice id Lacken. His Fstiesty is going this week to Antwerp, and thence to Middleburg, to be present at the opening of the new basin which the town of blidillebbrg owes to his munificence. The house for which Ch arles Mr. 12,000 florins is that of fir,.,Crattfurd, Merchant at Rotterdam, conjointly with Ms nephew, James Crau: furd Macleod, landowner in Scotland, whose agent be is ; the Clain) ei upon the Ditch East India Corn pang. Mr. Don, was from home when the Judge first called Ai his House f but as soon as he learned that there was an order of arrest against him, ht wrote word t . the Minister of Justice, that he should return home on such a day and at such an hour, to be pre• sent at the taking off the seals, and to place him self at the disposal of his Excellency, which he did. His Grace the Duke of Wellington arrived at Namur the day before yesterday, in the afternoon.... Yesterrhy morning be departed with his suite, in three carriage's, to visit Dinant, Philippe...ilk. and , Mariemburg, and would return, it was thought, to Namur to dinner. 11012.LE-DUC, JULY 24. The situation of fiur country i s f ar from satistac• tory—it h growing worse every day. The hope of a rich harvest insensibly vanishes, on account of the excessive and extraordinary increase of the waters, which in a few moments change into marshes the best cultivated fields—and it is the third year we have experienced this misfortune. On Monday evening, their Excellencies the Com enissioner-General charged with the affairs of the Pro testant worship, and the Director-General charged with the affairs of the Romati. Catholic worship, ar rived here. Their Excelliteies have bad several conferences with some Depeties from the City and the environs upon the affairealtbe Church which are here in litigation z they have also examined all the edifices consecrated to Divine worship. The happiest result is expected. General Baron Ochs, who in the campaign of 1812 commanded the Westphalian Corps, in a work on the New Art of War which he has published, has shewn that, in the fatal explosion of Moscow, it was not so much the cold, as the want of provisions, which caused the ruin of the French Army and of the Allied Corps. This want of provisions was the consequence of the new method of marching without magazines—a method which brings with it the neces. sity of levying requisitions by force of arms; and causes the ruin of all the places near the road by which the army marches. This system of pillage leaves an army without any resource when it is forced to re treat by the same line that it followed in its advance. PERPIGNAN, JULY Is. When the Spanish Government sent orders, after the sentence passed on General Lacy; to send him to Majorca, it . was because fears were entertained that the numerous friends whom Lacy had at Barcelona, might be able to excite a commotion in his favour.— The most urgent representations were made in favour of the General by several Officers of the highest dis tinction, in order to obtaiknanitigation of the sen tence of death, but they Were ineffectual. On the at rival of General Lacy ral Wilmot his sentence wig . read to him, and he was slsot.on die mor n i ng o f t he sth. This Officer, who hats() many times shed his ---- blood for the service of his country, died with equal composure and firmness All that I request (said he). is to die by the hands of my ancient brethre n i n arms=—it was on the. field of boqour, and while com bating the enemies of Spain,that a warrior like me ought "ea hays finished. his tarter." After these leads he said to the soldiers--w rim I" FRENCH PAPERS.- The Paris Papers of Thursday and Frisby have arrived since our last. The Kniin of PUUSSIA is expected to visit the Prussian part of the Army of Occupation early this month, and Marshal Ounisor, Duke of REGGIO, has been deputed to go and rrcrive his Majesty on the frontiers, in the name of the KINO of FRANCE. new Council of State of Prussia have, by a great majority, rejected the Plan of Finance submitted to them by M. Butow, the Minister or Finance, on the ground that the Provincial Estatri have alone the power of determining all matters. of supply. No Resolution could be of greater importance than this to the People of Prussia. The power of taxation being once recognised as resting solely with them selves, and once strictly acted upon, every thing else, necessary to the completion of a free Constitution, will infallibly follow in course of time, and it must depend much on the people themselves how soon they shall arrive at a consummation so devoutly to be wished. Another very important resolution has been come to by the Bavarian Co * fined of State, who have almost unanimously supplicated the limo to reduce his Army to one hall of its present amount. In Wjrtembeig a great reduction of the Army is already going on, and the Courts of Hesse. Cassel and Iladen are expected, it is said, to fellow the same course. The Auttrian Army, according to an official statement of it, just published, consists of 41)3 Gene rals, MO Colonels, 76 Regiments, and 38 Battalions of infantry, 34 Regiments of Cavalry, 5 Regiments of Artillery, a Corps of Bombardiers, 19 Corps of Garrison Artillery, and a Corps of Engineers. ( A Regiment in the Austrian service generally cotn• prebends two and some times four B.ttali•ms.)— The division of the Austrian Army now in France, consists of six regiments of infantry. two battalions fri,Soot chasseurs, two rtgiments of% 'dragoons, and two regiments of hussars. And 'ti ic tither division whickhas been stationed in the tipgdom of Naples, but. is now on its return, is composed of three regi ments of infantry and a regiment of dragoons. Nvw wheat is to he seen in every French market. Such is the bounty of PROVIDDICII this year, that four bushels of wheat, which last year averaged only latilbs. in weight, now weigh 2161b5. A baker of Nantes has been tined 1000 francs, and is to be im prisoned for three months, for spreading reports cal.. culated to raise the price of corn. French Funds, 31st July, 68 francs. A Corrrspondent h; the Ca/demi/in Mertsny says that he has the beta authority for saying that Minis ters are organising measures for the re-establishment (,f the Property Tax ; and that a learned Professor; intimately acquainted with the agricultural interesti, is employed in making stales of assessment oa the tenantry, &C. ' Dispatches overland from India have been received 'at the East India House, from the Governor of Bow_ bay, dated March 22, and communicating the impor. taut intelligence of the taking of the fortress of Hat trass by the British army. The circumstances which led to this event are as follows : A chief, named Rio Doss, had for some time past, manifested a spirit of restlessness and encroachment towards the British, and, by taking possession of this strong fortress, his hostile designs against the British possessions bor. bering on the Mahratta territories, became obvious. Itmoo?trances and explanations, , proving unsatilac toryorecourse was had by our'Government to more effectual measures, by prompt' Act vigdrous military operations. Our army, composed . of British and na. tire troops, immediately took the field, under the command of Colonel MARSHAL, an Officer of high military reptitation. Arrived before the place, he summoned it to surrender; but the enemy, confiding in his strength and means of defence, refused to capi tulate. It was then determined to carry it by storm— a heavy bombardment was commenced; and bombs and Congreve rockets were used with terrible effect. A bomb falling on the magazine, occasioned a tre mendous explosion, which destroyed numbers in the garrison of Hattrau. Oakes, by the fire of the enemy, was inconsiderable. Lieutenant Counmasti was the only officer wounded. The Bombay Go vernment had not received the official accounts; but the substance of the details we have given was com municated to that Government by a private letter from Madras, and may, therefore, (having been made the subject of an overland dispatch) be considered au thentic. The conduct of BCINDIA, in the countenance he has given Rio Doss in his hostile dispositions to• wards the British, is much blamed. A probability might be entertained of a Mahrattn war, were it not for the impression which the British arms may have made on the councils of the Mahratta confederates. i b o i r orpsun, altobar S.— Mr. and ' Mrs. D.

The fol lowing important article we copy from the Bows* Chronick of the 7th INTMISTINO !ROM ReCTH AMERICA. •I We liave been politely furnished, by a Gentle man who arrived in the Bay in the Buenos Ayreaa brig Patriot, with the following interesting infoima dim relative to affairs in South America. " On the • lst of June a Spanish squadron passed the island.pf Margaritta, consisting of 20 sail end 2500 meet, under the Bourbon flag, and •anchored Curnaiia, 'after plundering several fishing-boats, and pressing • number of fishermen, and conimitting numerous depredations against the Citizens. " By the last accounts, they did not disembark, as they were in an healthy state, and found that Gene ral Arismendi was determined to dispute the ground with them. A few days previous to the s tiling of Admiral Brion from Panipator, he received dis patches from General Bolivar, requesting two men of war and four gun-boats to enter the Orono's°, in order to intercept the Royal Tyrants of Spain, who embarked in some merchant vessels front the Guayastes previous to its capture, and are now lying at Augustura. with all their articles, supposed to amount to four millions of dollars. " General Bolivar •'nly awaits the answer of Ad miral Brion, to advance toA.ugustura, the only place 11141 remains in the hands of the tyrants in that quar ter, where there remains no doubt of his success."

Yesterday the following Bulletin was exhibited at St. James's-Palace, of the state of the Knots health : " WINDSOR-CASTLE, AUGUST 2. " His MAIM :AT has been generally in good health and tranquil spirits during this last month, though perhaps less uniformly than for some months pre• ceding. His MAJesTY's disorder has suffered no alteration." The Princess of WALLS gave a grand concert of •ocal and instrumental music, on the evening of the I Ith of July, at her, magnificent country-house at Scultheis. near Rome. The entire road leading to the place was lighted. and many great personages from Rome were present. The Earl of Rossa,Vsi, accompanied by Sir HENRY Botratam, Bart. and the Hon.

Music has_ fear; efforts of higher grandeur Oen. those scenes, and none so wild, solemn, and unearthly. . _ stars.—About five o'clock yesterday afternoon the Workhouse of the parish of St. Saviour's, South wark, which was situated at the entrance of the Kent. road, on the left hand, very near to the Elephant and Castle, and formerly occupied by Mr. RICIIARD..ON, a coach-maker, were set on fire by the flue of a gin gerbread-baker's over that adjoining them. The whole building, which was of consider:dile extent, has for the last three years been occupied by the pour of St. Saviour's ; and as it was constructed entirely of wood, the flames raged with great fury ; and though the fire broke out during day-light, there was considerable difficulty in saving the lives of several of the poor inmates, particularly the sick and the lame. The greatest exertion was burely sufficient for this purpose : some were brought out on the hacks of men; and others who could not submit even to this exertion, were brought out on their beds laid on win dow-shutters. It gives us pleasure to say, that all were ultimately saved, and carried to the school for merly occupied by Joseph Lancaster, in the Borough Road. Some accidents occurred ; one boy is re ported to have been killed, and another to have had his arm broken, and a woman has lost her thumb.— Those accidents were occasioned by the falling of a chimney of the building, of which scarcely a vestige remains. We do not remember to have seen a fire so competely destroy the premises in which it corn. menced es the one above.
