FLANDERS MAIL. BRU4sEI.S, SEP I'EMBER R. There will pr , h.thly be important conferences at Aix-la.Chapi Ile relitive to the future organization of Prussian Gram' Ouc , -y. We learn from Vete that the Russian merchant frigate Nadeselida, Captain Kool, coining horn St. Th-m 41 on the coast of Africa, with a cargo of dying wood Akd elephants' teeth, stranded on the :?9th of August. at two in the morning, on Nonrdland. At five the pilot went on board to employ every means to save the reisel, but at one o'clock, the tide rising, it was filled in a few minutes with nine leet water. The pilot and crew, consisting of 26 men, were force., to a:tatidrin her, ati-1 to escape on board a fiber-boat, which is now under quarantine in the.r ads of Vere. Letters from . Spain say. that General Lacy. b: tore he sacred his punishment, delivered to the 1) )mini can who attended him in his last moments, some teule.i papers, begging him to send them directly to the king, which the Monk promised to do. He told his confessor that he merited death fir his rebel lious against his Sovereign, butt that be had truly served his coun , ry, and that his services ought •to make his fault forgotten. Lacy had received many honourable wounds in battle. SEPTEMBER 1 I.—The affair of his Grace the Duke of Wellington against the Editor of the Journal of East and West Flanders, which has been decided in the first instance at Ghent, is going to be tried in a Court of Appeal. The King of Prussia has left here various marks of his munificence; several persons have received rich presents of snuff-boses and other valuable trinkets. His Royal Highness the Hereditary Prince did not accompany his father, and it seems will remain some time at the Palace of Lacked. The Prince of Orange, who was said to be gone to Paris, is still at his own Palace. Two new Monks, of the Order of La Trappe, both English by, birth, disembarked on the 6th of this month at Cherburgh, proceeding to L. Melleraye, where then community is IIOVV established. They took horses pith them front England, and a great quan tity of oilier property. GHENT, SEPTEMBER Is. The last vnarket of St. Nicholas presents a great rise in the price of coin, which is worthy the alien. tion of the Magistrates. The market of Lockerin had the same result. Such, in the midst of abun dance, are the effects of speculators, which place the public subsistence in the hands of a few dealers. CRONSTAD, JULY 20, 0.5. The squadron here, commanded by Vice-Admiral Crown. hat recei.tly been honoured with a visit of his Imperial Majesty, the Empress, and the Empress Mother the two Grand Dukes, and Duchess, ac companied by her brother . ; and most of the Court Gentlemen and Ladies, in all more than 100 distin guished persons. They all dined on the quarter-deck of the Vice-Admiral's ship (the Tree Quierarck).— The squadron performed several evolutions in this narrow roadstead, in the first style of nautical science, which were succeeded by a sham engagement. His Imperial Majesty seemed not less delighted with these proofs of the excellence and rising character of this highly-appointed squadron, than with the hospi talky of its distinguished and experiencedComrrander.

From Paris Papers of Thursday last, and Flemish Papers to the 19tb instant, which arrived in the course of yesterday, we have given some extracts in a pre ceding part of our Paper. The Madrtd Journals, it will be observed, now re peat very openly and assuredly, the rumour which has been softie time afloat, of Russia having cove nanted to afford assistance to Spain in her protracted attempt to restore her Colonies to obedience. In order to ,hew that there is nothing astonishing in such as arrangement, they remark that as the Insurgents are strong in light cavalry, and make war in a very desultory manner, it is natural to suppose that the Cossacks, accustomed to the same manner of fighting, and habituated to passing from the frozen regions of Caucasus to the torrid plains of Persia, would obtain great advantages over the rebel troops. But without stopping to shew bow quite as na tant it would be to suppose quite the reverse we any remark, that nobody who looks either at the po litical interests or at the geographical position of Russia, need be at any loss for reasons of a much weightier description, to convice him that so far from there being any thing arlosiishiss in the idea of Rus sia's interference, it may be considered as an event of cinsiderable probability. . The Russians he will find are already no strangers to America. From Okotsh, on the Siberian coast, in a bay of the Pacific Ocean, they have, since the year 1813, descended the American coast, passed the Columbia r i ver d i ve hundred miles, and settled in Badoga, at sat° North, and only thirty miles from the Spasish Establishment: in Califortiia, where they are not only trading with great advantage, but are profiting by a fine climate and fruitful soil to feed their more Nor. there possessions. At the island of Kodia, they have a fort so considerable as to be armed with one hut). dred pieces of cannon. The passage from the North. West coast of America to the Persian Gulph may be averaged at between three or four months ; but a ship leaving Bussorah in April, to profit by the south west enonsooa, would easily gain the• North-west coast of America in Arm months. Considering all these facilities, and the inducements wising out of this to Russia benefi t we are tempted. to think an Lspedi.ich from that quarter •lit aid of Old Spain as by no means one of the least probable of events. Paris Papers of a day later than the preceding have arrived to-day, but bring nothing additional of any interest. French Eve per cents 11th September, with dividend from '22d September, 1317, 651 r. 83c. Dutch and Hamburgh Mails have also arrived to day, from the papers brought by which we subjoin the following extracts: DRESDEN, SEPTEMBER 4. The General Assembly of the States of Saxony is summoned fur the 19th of October, and the States of Lusatia are to be jniaed with them. BEktNE, AUGUST se. On the 15th instant there met at Carouge, a com pany of persons who, it seems, had still much at tachm,rnt to a great personage who retired tome time since from the great theatre, and pet mitted themselves vatious improper proceedings and expressions.— The Gens-d'armes repaired thither in the evening, and dispersed the assembly, but not without blond shed ; five of these riotous persons were wounded with bayonets, two of them severely; the other three slightly.—An enquiry is making into the affair, in order to punish the guilty. BRUSSELS, SEPTEMBER. 10. Oa the Gth the British troops who had formed a camp in the neighbou►hood of St. Omer's, arrived in the Plain of Douain ; the cavalry cantaned about Cassel has gone to the same place, as well as several other corps. When the review is over, the troops will return to their cantonments, and the Duke ot Wellington will go to Lorraine and Alsace. Yesterday, and the day before, the British Am. bdssador, Lord Cl incarty, received again two Con. tiers from Paris, and the head-quarters of the Army ot Occupation. From this active exchange of Cou riers, and from other circumstances, it is presumed that important negotiations are carrying on. Most of the Foreign Mi►►isters are now gone to the Hague, or on the point of going. We learn that the greater part of the Ambassadors still retain the hotels which they have l►ired in this city. Letters from Paris again speak of an approaching change in the French Ministry. The crop of potatoes in these provinces is so abun dantb that it is supposed the quantity is three times as great as in common years. It is now exactly IGG years since the cultivation of the potatoe was intro duced into these provinces by a Bishop of Namur. . The Concordat concluded with the French Court excites astonishment even at Rome, and it is thought that that there will be a great deal of discussion upon it in the approaching Assembly of the Chambers at Paris. It is fcom the obscurity of several passages which might easily be interpreted to the great disad vantage of the Protestants, it is the opinion that, ►or the security of the Protestants, the sense of these Ar ticles must be rendered more precise. New York Papers to the 20th, and Boston to the 2241 of August, are also among our arrivals to-day. The subjoined extracts give some further accounts of the progress of the Independent arms in Peru, and represent the prospects of General MeGxxcion in the North, in a more favourable light than they were left by the last advices. BOSTON, AUGUST IS: AUXILIARY AnMY off Paau.—Bulletin No. 22 gives a narrative of proceedings from May 1 to the 11th. A party of the Republicans had penetrated into the Province of Potosi ; and the Royalists in that quarter, tinder General TAcon, had retreated to Arequipa. The main body of the Royalists. under General Jose de la Sonna, evacuated Salta May 5. having occu pied it twenty days. Colonel Martin Greases en. tered the town on the same day. A letter from Don Gregoro Las Heras to the Su preme Director of Chili. Don Bernardo O'Higgins, dated at Conception. May 6th, mentions, that be was attacked by an enemy's force of 1500 or 1400 men, whom he repulsed with the loss of three pieces of artillery, a great quantity of arms and ammunition, 500 prisoners, and 100 killed. • PHILADEI:PHIA, AUGUST 9. It is scarcely conceivable what purpose i: can an swer, to represent St. Augpstine, in Florida. as a position resembling Gibraltar. It is nothing more than a quadrangle, with regular bastions at the an. gles ; its principal strength consists in the excellence of the stone of which it is composed, quarried in the adjacent island of Anastasia. The town, which does not contain more than SOOO persons, is also surrounded by a wall, which, with the houses, are of similar pms terials with the tort ; but it is no way superior to Mobile. which General Waiussom took with no more men than General M'Gaaooa commands—but an attack at St. Augustine is not in the views ofl General M,GREGOR. The importance of his present position, where Yes. eels of any burden may find a harbour and a safe landing, and very soon a good market, cannot be de bited to be exchanged for St. Augustine, into the Barbour of which no vessel can enter that draws more than 8 feet. Extract of a letter from from an Officer of the Firebrand (lately from Vera Cruz), dated Balise, July 5: " Mr. William D. Roblmon Is closely combed In the Castle it Val CM& lle wai Like ac du. bold of a regimen of Pa triots, at or hear Xaiapa. The t'h'e-Roy his given positive orders to have him kept In rime +eonpnement. His sitestion is deplorable—he has been imprisoned upwards Of tine months* subsisting on a wretched pittance of bad victuals. During that period he has hid only two chriges of linen.

Letters from Cad:z announce, that they are again troubled with a visit from the Insurgent pri- vateers. Two of them were in the oiling, and blockaded the harbour so hermetically, that even the coasting vessels could not venture in and out. This is the port too from which an Expedition, intended to rival in its effects those of CORM and l'izAulio, is to issue The Principe do Pedro, Portuguese frigate, and a Portuguese brig of war. sailed from Lisbon on the 14th ultimo, with nine vessels, Lull of troops, for Rio Itneiro t and with five ♦essels, full of troops, for I'wentysis merchantmen also sailed in com pany for different parts of the Brazils. Saturday afternoon his Majesty's store-ship Tortoise, Mr. Taos. Cook, Commander, arrived at Portsmouth horn Rio Janeiro, which port she left on the 22d July. She was under way, and coming out of harbour on the 18th ; but in passing Fort Santa Cruz, a gun without shot was fired, which, it was presumed, was intended as a signal to send a boat to the shore ; but in less than a minute afterward, a second gun with a s'tot was fired, which carried away the shi p's main top gallant-lilt, sshile the seamen were lulling the sail, and went through her fore-top-sail. She imme diately anchored, and sent a boat to the Fort with the second Master, to inquire the reason of the insult. Finding the boat was detained, Mr. Cook. went on shore himself, and discovered his officer and men de tained as prisoners. He stated, that he commanded a King's ship, that he was the bearer of important dispatches to the English Government, and also from the Portuguese Ministry to their Ambass +dor in Lon don; but the Governor of the Fort replied, he did not care who he was, or what was his errand, that he would detain his people until his ship returned to the harbour.—The Tortoise accordingly put back, and Mr. Cook made his representations to Capt. SHARPE, of his Majesty's ship Hyacinth, and to the Ambassa dor, and the answer, or apology is, we believe, come home in the Tortoise, addressed to Lord CASTLE• RICAGN. The people of the Tor;oise who had been detained were sent on board about sun -set, having been kept oilier a guard, standing in the heat of a vertical sun, without being allowed to sit or lie down, and were even refused a supply of water when asked for. These onstances of capricious oppression are frequently practised on merchant-ships. The Tor toise has brought home a supply of timber for the Dock-yard. His Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT visited the Coast of France, from whence he was landed at Brighton, in safety and in high spirit;, on Saturday afternoon at one o'clock, having been four days and three nights at Sea 1 On Thursday morning, the yacht and ships of war stood off for the Coast of France, but the wind shifting to the southward, a ' boat was dispatched to the shore, for the PRINCE'S " letters. They Al again stood over for the French coast, and were off Dieppe, close in with the land, early on Friday morning; where communication being had, the yacht and squadron eruized across the Channel again, and reached Brighton at one o'clock on Saturday, when the PRINCR landed, regretting that, his presence being required in town, he was ob liged to disembark. His Royal Highness slept on board three nights. He was gratified beyond descrip tion, and enjoyed the highest state of health and spirits during the whole of the excursion. His Royal Highness set off for London soon alter he landed ; and the ROYAL GEORGE, TIBER, and INCONSTANT, returned to Spithead in the evening, alter a run of five hours from Brighton Roads. It was given out to the squadron, that in case the ships should sepa rate in the night, they were to rendezvous at Ports• mouth. His Royal Highness, on disembarking, presented the Hon. Captain PAGET with an elegant snuff-box, in testimony of his high gratification and esteem. Sin ardent and perfect was the pleasure that the PRINCE felt, that, among other gracious intima tions of his attachment to the naval service, he said. that if he should land at any place beside Brighton, it was his intention to wear the full-dress uniform of an Admiral, and which he should continue to wear at his Levees, alternately with the dress of the army. His Royal Highness behaved in the most conde scending manner to all around him. Lieutenant Ames and Mr. Carmen, of the INCONbTANT, acted as sidesmen on board the yacht. Saturday afternoon the ROYAL GEORGE yacht, in company with the INCONSTANT frigate, sailed for Ports mouth) where she will remain until further orders. Last night the PRINCE REGENT arrived in town from Brighton, in perfect health. His Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT has most graciously condescended to become a member of the Yacht Club. The Princess CHARLOTTE, the Duchess of YORE, and prince Lnoroso. are amongst tw•enty.two spun sors of the son of Prince WILLIAM of PitubsiA. Austrian Archdukes CHARLES asd JOSEPH are also of the number. The Danish Ambassador and his Lady have ar rived at Edinburgh, on their return to London, trona a visit to Mr. Fettausor, at Raiff].

On Saturday also, nearly the wl.cle British troops, with the exception of those I 1! Mentioned, *ere inspected about three miles 'roe; place, on the road to Carribray, by the Kit: l4 PRUSSIA and the Duke ..of WELLINcrox. Their pearance was admirable, and the King of Pa t , repeatedly declarA himielf much struck with I and their discipline. The inspection did not last mi than two hours; there Was sf) much wheat upo n , ground, that the mancelvres of a field-day were performed.
