BRUISEL‘, Aro. 31.—They invite from the French frontiers that the Army of Occupation will evacuate the French territory in the month of November, age :that preparations are already making in the English Army for the axle of a part of the horses belonging to the artillery and the train. The Russian contingefit mill also leaie its artillery and train horses in France, and it is supposed that they will be purchased by the French Government. The Royal Ordinance for the levy of a part of the men who are now liable to serve, has been sent to the various departments by *strain dinary couriers, end memos CU be taken to put It in • , itnmedialf emotion, le order to reinforce the army • us soon as possible. Many officers hare arrived in the noetheru departments, 'with particular instruc tions for this purpose. France becomes mote and more trawled, confidence revives, and the inhabitants flatter thensseltes that the times of prosperity are at hand. •. • The greatest esertions ore milking at Brussels to templet* the building of the Theatre, the Palace of • device, and the Palace of the States-General, with ill speed. After the termination of the Congress at Ais-lis.Chapelle, we eapect a great Dumber of fo reigners in this city. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince end Princess of Orange, will arrive in this city on the 6th of Sep; Weber, and,then go to Spa, intending to remain there • some time incognito. We'have reason to hope that their Royal Highnesses on their return to Brussels, fix their abode in our city. Daman, Auch 29.—We have not yet the final po e'tntive information respecting the journey of his Me. jes . ty the Emperor of Russia, we only know that '`flight's lbdgings are bespoke at Riga, Memel, Ko. • ningsherg, hlarienwerder, Jashow, and Landsberg, on the Worths. The suite is composed of bat a few •.• persons, and ne more than thirty carriage horses in ' all are required.

The regulation that the Members must be of the Lutheran Religion is abolished, and in conformity with the 16th Article of the Act of Confederation, the Roman Catholics • as well as the professors of the Reformed Religion, -ire declared admissible. Instead of the two divi -tient hitherto made, there are to be thirty-four votes, -ankh consisting of one President and six Coensellors. rWith respect to the relations of the Members among tench other, it is ordered that, instead of the mode of voting by classes hitherto employed, in &tore the •• wenior of the Nobles shall vote first ; then the senior .61 the Professional or learned Class ; then the second • of the Nobles; then the second of the Professional cClass, and so on. • STOCKHOLM, AUG. 21.-41 to Budget of the Ordi. Amery Revenue is fixed till the next Diet at 3,7`21,318; / *nett dollars per ann. and a considerable overplos .may be calculated upon.

STnasev eon, Sire. I.—Yesterday the Duke o f Wellington and General Baron Frimont arrived at •Reishoffen. 'They were preceded by the General Count Scheler ) who received them at the head of his 'staff. It is not true, as the Paris Papers announced, that the Duke of Wellington went 'to Colmar. Ile did not continue his jeerney in the department of the Upper Rhine, because all - the troops stationed there were reviewed near Hageensu. RMITADT, AuG. 31.—The new Collstitution of the Grand Duchy of Baden contains very liberal en wctesenls. It establishes equality of rights with all t - f,e -rnE STATESMAN citizens, as also the equality of all employments, by totallreoppressing the exemptions from taxis which lure hitherto existed. It declares that all citizens wbe profess either of the three Christian Creeds, have eqtial rights to, civil and military offices.

The Bulletin of the Quezm's health issued thi s morning at Kew Palace is as follows : " Km PALACE, SEPT. 10.—Her MAJESTY has passed a good night, and continues much the same as yesterday. (Signed)! " FAMILMAN, " H. HALFORD." The plan adopted by the principal Monarchs of Europe since the winding op of the French Revolu tion, of meeting at short periods in great national Congress, for the adjustment of their disputes, and the arrangement of their affairs, is something new in the history of nations. how long it will last, or what will grow out of it, we pretend not to conjec. tore. If Kings were liberal, and their interests and inclinations alone were not the sole objects of con sideration, some good to the People might be ex , peeled from such periodical assemblies of the Poten tates and Statesmen of Europe ; but experience of the disposition and views of Royal conclaves and the servility of Ministers, has left us little room to look for such results from any of the political Meetings that now take place. It would indeed be a gratify ing event if the vision of universal tranquillity could be realised, and peaceable discussion and amicable ad justment, take the place of the bayonet and the cannon. If the "'HOLY LEAGUE" should produce such a glorioui result, it would merit its sacred title, its authors be entitled to the respect of the world, and be sore of the admiration of ages to come. — Then might we anticipate she approach of the period, libels 66 swords shall be beaten into plough-share', and spears into pruning-hooks, and when nations shall learn war no more," But, alas ! it is not from the supporters of Despotic Legitimacy, from the King, that role by the sword alone, from the enemies of human Liberty, the oppressors of the French People, the Governments that deny the right of the Germans to Representative Constitu tions, the destroyers of freedom in Poland, the partitioners of Saxony, the restorers of the POPE and the Inquisition, the Allies of FEnnimano of Spain, and the envious opposers of South American Independence, that we are justified in expecting de. cisious in favour of the rights and happiness of man kind. They will of coarse talk much of their re gard for popular privileges, and the peace of no. tions ; but woe to the confiding minds that allow themselves to be doped into slumber and submission, by the hollow pretences mod professions of the in. tripling Confederacy. Certain it is, that there is a great portion of the population of Germany that will not be then duped; and as to France, nb. thing . is more evident to all that have visited or know any thing of the state of the pub ' lic mind in that country, than that the French nation will never return to the condition which the Legitimates, who have made war upon their liberties, desire to see them reduced—that the long and ruinous war urged by the Coalesced Powers for this purpose, has failed io its object, and that Lours only reigns by the sanction he gives to the improved order of things, sad the established principles of the Revolu tion. Priestc►aft and Kingcraft are as much, though 'silently, abhorred in France at this day as in the first period of the Revolution, wbtcb gave to Kings and Priests so terrible a lesson. Nor have we any reason to wonder at this. The system that occasioned the awful irreptioa of popular iudiguatiou has not been much improved out of France; an thesis' of the Crowned Confederates are the as ever. Hat let - them beware of arousing the al lug lions In the human mind—they tread upon vat °s , lop rashly —nations will not always submit to be fettered, and pillaged, and barnbooaled with sounding. non sense. We are glad to find by the latest accoonts from Manchester, that the agitation and disputes among the Spinners and Manufacturers are subsiding. This is in a great measure to be attributed to the liberality and good sense of the Masters. The private letters inform us, that the Masters of the Spinners bate, Is general, promised that, on condition of resum ing their labour, their wishes wil, in part, be complied with.--Messrs. BARII,CS and SWAG LOW, of the Oldham-road Factory, bad prevent. ed , a turn out, by agreeing to raise the wages of their workmen to what they received two or three years ago. The majority of the Manufacturers have consented to give the Weavers an advance of 4q. iu the pound. 44 It is a most melancholy fact," says one of the letters, 66 that the average earnings of this useful and industrious class of persons, for a long time back, bas not been more than eight shillings per week." The Manchester Herald states, that the whole of the Spinners, belonging to Mr. Davin HoLT, proprietor of the Cborlton New Mills, re turned to their looms on Monday last, acknowledg ing that they had no cause of complaint, and that they deeply regretted their past misconduct. It was confidently expected the example of the Chorlton Spinners would have the most favourable influence upon the rest of the refractory body, and that its the course of the present week, all . the mills, would be in full work again. Many of the Masters had re ceived applications from their men, soliciting to be re instated on the same terms as before the 44 turn oat." The burial of the man who was shot during the at tack on Ancoats' Cottnn.twist Company's Mill, oc casioned some unpleasant feelings on Sunday night, bat no actual disturbances took place. The verdict of the Jury of Justifiable Homicide ha ... Wide a deep impression on the minds of the working classes; and the determiristion - of the Magistrates to carry into • effect, for the, preservation of the publk peace, the measures announced in the Public Caution they had issued, was fully known. The conviction of the combined and riotous workmen at Chester, before Mr. Serjeant BEST, had also been productive of sa lutary relight. We observe that BAGULEY, JoUN• BON, and DRUMMOND, have again been laid bold of, and sent off to Chester, to take their trial at the pre sent Assizes. The offence now imputed to them, it is understood, took place at the late Meeting of Weavers and Spinners at Stockport. A Ministerial Evening Paper states, that on the person of BA GULEY were found a flask of gun-powder and many balls. Our letters say-nothing of this circumstance. Of course, the usual attempt is made by writers of a certain class to connect the Manchester distur bances with politics and Reform opinions; but we think nothing is more unjust than this. In the midst of much assertion to the contrary, we bate not been able to convince ourselves that the present disturbances have any other object then to raise wages if possible, and we consider this state of things quite alarming enough for every palate, considering the danger and mischief which attends on a conflict so disastrous to manufacturing prosperity. The per. petrators of the mischief are blameable enough, but there ire those who are equally deserving of con. demnation, for in _their measures against general pro. sperity lie the causes of all disorder and public misery. . Paris Papers to the 7th instaot, and. Mails from. Hamborgh and Holland, have arrived. The Army of Occupation is not expected to leltve France be fore November; but it appears that preparations are already making for its dePaitire. Part of the horses belonging to the English Artillery will, it is said, be sold, and it is thought not unlikely that the French Government will purchase them... The horses of the Russian Train, and even the • Artillery Neil', will also, it is supposed, be boogbt op by the FrenCh Go vernment. One statement says the British and Russian troops will return home in October. After the review of the . Austrian troops by the Duke of WELLINGTON, the several corps returned to their former cantonments. As soon as his Grace bad re viewed the Wirtemberg corps, he was to set off for the Bavarian Head-quarters at Sargaeminm, end from thence directly to Sedan. The Paris Journals were in error when they stated that he was going to Colmar. The new Constitution of Baden suppresses the exemptions from taxation heretofore enjoyed by certain privileged classes, and places Lutherans, Calvinists, and Homan Catholics, on an equal foot ing as to admissibility to Civil and Military Offices. Several of its articles gOaratitee individual liberty ; it declares the responsibility of Ministers and all agents of authority ; abolishes for ever all confisca tions; establishes the principle of the Liberty of the Press; and announces that the modifications of which this principle is susceptible depend upon the decisions which the Germanic Diet will adopt on this head ; it declares inviolable all engagements made by the State towards its creditors, and provides that the institution of the Sinking Fund shall be permanent. The Budget of Sweden is fixed, till the seat Diet, at 3,7t1,318 Banco Dollars per annum.

Admiral Sir GEORGE CAMPBELL and Lord Howls brought up the rear of the procession of maul tea military officers. OYSTER BEDS.—BRIGUTON, SEPT. B.—The lesg continuance of a calm -.ea has enabled our fisher's , ' to make a more accurate survey of the beds of oysters discovered off this coast about two years ago. From repeated trawlings they have calculated, that for se extent of 70 miles S. E. and S. W. this body of shell fish lie in prodigious quantities. The shortest breadth is seven miles. The oysters caught to the S. W. are of excellent flavour ;several speculators havemedeed the line of coast, in order to find a spot tOT totals. oyster beds. Shoreham harbour is mentioned la* most desirable spot, as the bed of the river consists of a firm black sand. From the facility of cva'v conveyance to the metropolis, it is likely the* now source of trade will enable the proprietors(' supply a vast proportion of the consumptioa el oysters in the London market in the course of aoetkt year. It is said to be in contemplation to employ ace. Lain number of Naval Officers, with men undertheir orders, for the purpose of preventing the landings! contraband goods, and to be stationed at such dic lances along the coast, from the Isle of Wight WO Isle of Sheppy, as will enable them to keep up atm stint communication. The improvements in St. James's-square are oto going ow with more speed than hitherto—therelos been some demur about the expence of enclosing and planting the area, among some of the.Proprietors of the houses in the square, which at one time thrums. ed an application to the Court of Chancery, bolds dispute is now amicably settled. FEMALE PATRIOTIsit.—The courage and ability so eminently displayed by Miss Toot Eit, at the late Assizes for Cornwall, seem to have been justly ap preciated by the greater pert of those " whose Pao is not blame;" and to bare led to many discussions oa the comparative virtues and talents of the two sexes. Among other anecdotes of the sex to which the fair Defendant belongs, the following, as it does not ale pear to be generally known, may perhaps not be as. interesting: In the famou k Sbip Money Cause, which lief so justly iMinDrlSHlled the name of HAMPDEN, the ;rent -majority of the Judges decided (as is welt ..kseesiete) against the laws of the lend. In the mine' rity, however, was the celebrated Judge Caoozz, welt .known by his Reports. It appears from Witercoct (who speaks of his own personal knowledge), " that tbe Jodie,. Intimidated by the threats of the Coeds had at one time resolved to deliver his opinion fer the King, from which purpose he was diverted by his :wife, who told him, that she hoped he would do tee thing against his conscience, far fear of any dingo or prejudice to herself or family ; and that she wad be contented to suffer want, or any misery with hie s rather than he should chi or say any thing against hie better judgment. Thus encouraged, he sumcnosed op the resolution to perform his duty, and resales his name from that infamy which so deservedly ire wolves the memory of his colleagueb.—( West Brilot) The lan'sented death of Mr. GRANT, of Mile-trod, in the prime of life, it is to be hoped, will put In . end to the cockney mode of defending gard ens and ornamental shrubberies by " men-traps and sprlst guns," from which many distressing accidents hoe happened. It is just as illegal to place those engines in pleasure grounds, a 4 it would b e in gel inclosed field of coat or turnips, whic h some yol.f. ago, we recollect, was done by a gameke e p er of tes late Lord BEItKELEY, whet' the man was at las.t caught in his own trap ! Mr. Wane, the meritorious Leader of the 13se i ll at Corent.garden Theatre, has rebianed his situation, a department which he has fi lled for nearly twenty years, with the greatest credit to himself and sstiP faction to the Pablie.
