DUTCH P 4 PEAS. GHENT, SEPTEMBER 1. It seems that for some da}s past /here is not the same goad understanding as bef -re between the English and American Plenipotentiaries; the reason is not known, but it is hoped that this coolness will be of short durntion. /44uy English and Hanoverian troops are arrived here. The latter do duty in common with the Bel giars till these last march away, for orders are every moment expected. It is said that Prince Ernest, of Aremberg, will command all the Belgian forces in our provinces. BRU'ISFLi, SEPTEMBER 1. • Tile arrival of Hanoverian troll* in Belgium con tinues without interruption, and will last the whole month of September. Several regiments repair to G! e•'t and to the frontiers of Flanders. _ _ _ LPTENIBER S.—By order of the Sovereign Prince, dated the i'lst August, it is directed that all regula tions for the Dutch troops shall be considered as applicable to the Belgian troops, with this difference, that all such orders shall be issued either it, the French language, or in that of the country. SEPTEMBKR 4.—The Hanoverian troops, which continue to arrive, march to Tourney, ourtray, Meoin, Ypers, \taupe, and Nieuport ;—all these places will have numerous Hanoverian and English garrisons. Brussels and Ostend will be garrisoned by English only ; Ghent by one Azglish and two Hanoverian regiments ; the 74 Belgian infantry and the Chasseurs of Prince Ernest of Aremberg remain in Flacders till they are completely organised ; the 4th - regiment leaves Touraay and marches to Mons, where a battalion of chassturs will 5e incorporated with it. The regiment now at Namur goes to Has 'OA and the I A regiment is to leave Brussels. • The Aelg;an regiments are to consist each of three batta lions of 1050 men, including officers ; as soon as the present regiments are complete, new ones are to be famed: The regulations for the cavalry and artil lery are not - settled, all our national troops remain on the was establishnont. This city is lull of Belgian military who hive quitted the French service, among them are remarked many native French, who desire commissions in our army—which, however, it is supposed they will not obtain. It is affirmed titat the Prussian garrison of Laois bourg is to be very considerably reinforced; and that during the C.•ngress a most formidlble tore will be kept ttio on the whole line, from the Meese to the Moselle. Tuese measures seem to tie taken in con sequence of those or France. Letters from Gi,eut say, that numerous Couriers arrive daily at (Mend, to and from London, vessels being at all titres ready at Ostend for them. It is observed tie negociati,,ns are not so activ, and that the Ministers Will probably remain there longer th.in l‘a, at first supposed. On the Ist, the American Ministers gave a grand entertainment, at which the Magistrates and also the English Mit:isteis were present.. BP.EMEN, SEPTEMBER s. Mesdames Bacciochi and Borghese, Napoleon's sisteis, have contracted great debts in Italy.

They literally swarm on the Irish co st. It h.isheess broadly hinted, that one of these marauders, 7%1 Pri*- of Ntvfchatcl, is the bee ids property of Frenchmen, and is in fact a Fsenc i privateer, with American colours. This sus picion is much cr;:stlieied by a letter from Gree nock, which will be found under the head of our Naval „Intelligence, that the Captain's name is Mon sieur °Lnt-mi. This is clearly a French name, and we trust that some of our cruizers will come up with hiin, of it be only to gratify us with a sight of his American certificate of citizenship. Much clamour is of course raised throughout the mercantile interest, and perhaps unjustly, against the Board of Admi ralty, the NLmhers of which seem to have directed their best attention to the subject, and every eff)rt is no doubt making to increase the number of our crui sers, :is will be seen from their letter in the last page of our Paper. While the Americans -are permitted to continue their successful career, they are making Great Britain • contribute most copiously to their resources for Carry.. ing on the war ; and we fear that the French Autho rities au not look on with precisely that air of Indif fe:eace and neutrality which they ought to observe. We have heard it more than once stated, (and we e.Lik it highly probable,) that most of the American privateer s now a: sea are the joint property t f French Arnefic.in Merchants. This should be made • the st.b,ect irgairy. Without nova Lg to convey the slightest imputa-. tion on the 13. Jard of Adniiralty, we have heard 01 a eircurnst tnce, which it is our duty to state. and • which, we hope, fr.r the honour of that Board, will prove to have happened witF.nut their knowledge.

We received yesterday advices from Teneriffe to the 3d ult. The following is an extract from one of our letters: ..TsNxiiirrir, AUGUST 2. - - " Five ships have areved from the Ilavannah with sugars.— Many cargoes have beta gridirons hence to France with barrilla sugar, 3118011 w ot!:.er commodities. The prices of British articles give 00 encouragement to importation." - - The Cornwallis, from Teneriffe, which was cap tured thtee times by the Americans in her voyage from the Canaries, saw during her progress, ten dd. ferent American privateers crossing ei.cli other, so that it is almost impossible for a British ship to escape. Ten ships from Buenos Ayres have been made priies ky these depredators, and one, the Christian, of Kirkaldy, has been given up as a cant!. One of the American privateers coneerned in the capture of the ships from the River Plate, has had the success to make ten captures, and some of & them of considerable value. The Pmen REGIVIT is expected in London by the sth of the month. Monday, the Earl of DONOUGIIMORN, and Lord HUTCWNSON, arrived at Knocklofty, near Cork, from London.

Tuesday morning, a young woman in the set vice of Mrs. BUSBRIDDE, of the New-road, Rochester, was found drowned in the Medway, near Rochester Bridge. No cause has been assigned for this casualty.

Forty thousand English are now said to be looking at curiosities every day in Paris. The Fiend], in re turn, continue their curiosity to tie object only—the pocket of the traveller. It is the same M. DR FONTANES who, when NAPO LEON asked him to write a justification of the trial and murder of the Duke D'ENGHIIN, replied— , s What can I say ? Being the strongest, you have used the weapons of the weakest." On the 16th of April, 1808, BONAPARTE wrote to the then Prince of ASTURIAS, as follows :—" 1 The PRI:VCR of PEACE has no longer any friends. Your Highness will also have none should you ever become unfortunate. The people are willingly disposed to avenge on us the homage which we receive from them !" M. DE FONTANRC was with NAPOLEON in his box, at the Theatre Francais, as TimitA was playing. In his admiration for his favourite actor, BONAPARTE ex claimed, 06 What a performer !"

The following is a copy of a letter, received from person on board the ship Harmony, of Greenock, dated Cove of Cork, August 29 : - " 1 3:n s:•try inform you, that on Saturday, the 2t)ta i.tst. at six P.

TENTH fithiSAßS.—The dissention, we understand, in the 10th Hussars, is of a very puzzling nat tire AS to the mode of proceeding to legal decision. Several of the leading Officers concerned are said to be under arrest for trial by Court Martial; but the difficuity of fixing the prosecutions, and the order ot them, am►dst the mass of charges and recriminations, is ex trenteiy embarrassing. It is generally untierstiee!, that t' e representatives to the PRINCE Reuter, whic't first agitatesl the questions -now afloat, took place AC Brighton, during hi> Royal Highness's recent visit.
