[FLANDERS MAIL] BERLIN, Avo.l2.—We are informed that Turkey is arming with the greatest activity, and that for midable armies are already put in motion. People ssreibe to this circumstance the retrograde move ment of the Russian forces. hl "minx, Atte. 22.—The Chronicle of the European Confederation contains the following !theme of a new kingdom of the Rhine :—lt would be composed of Lorraine, Alsace, Franche.Comte, sod the countries bn the left bank of the Rhine, bleb still form the department of Mont Tonnerre, or the departments of the Upper and Loner Rhine, of la Meurthe, la Moselle, la Meuse, les Vosges, Iloute•Saone, Doubs, Mont Jura, and Mont Tonnerre. These ten Departments are so situated, as to form a fine and powerful kingdom, with a population of three millions and a half of inhabitants, which would render its future Sovereigns as strong as the King of B avat il. This new kingdom would powerfully con. tvibute to the end which the high Allied Powers have proposed to themselves by disabling France from doing mischief for many centuries, and insuring to Europe a long and stable peace. The fortresses of Besancon, Strasburg, Landau, Schelestadt, Befort, Mentz, Verdun, Montmedi, Metz, Thionville, B.:c. would plate the kingdom in a respectable situation, and would he so many bulwarks against France, and serve, at tie same time, to defend the kingdom. BRUSSELS, Auo. 28.—Accounts from Vienna of the 18th, contain the following The marriage of his Imperial Highness the Archduke Charles will not be celebrated till after the return of the Court from Milan. The abode of this Prince at Mentz, seems to have, independently of his military com mand, a very important political object. It is pre. sumed that Lorraine will return under the dominion of Austria ; it was the cradle of the Imperial House, and might form a thirst appenage, under the Arch. duke Charles." Letters from Madrid of the 12th of this month, affirm that the Spanish Government insists in the most urgent manner that the fortresses of Belle garde, Perpignan, Colisure, and Port Vendee, in Rousillon, as well as those of St. Jean Pied-de- Port, and Bayonne, shall be garrisoned by Spanish troops. M ;LAN, AuG. 15.—Letters from Rome mention that Gaeta has surrendered. BASLE, Ara. 19. ORDIA OF TIIE DAY, AUG. 17. " I have received from the Commander in Chief of the Troops of the Confederation, the commission, h,nourable both to me and to you, my bretheren in arrne, to co-operate with all our might to repress the arrogance of a rapacious enemy. " We are destined to do, upon the right batik of the Rhine (in concert with his Imperial Highness the Archduke John of Austria), us much injury ars postibk to the common enemy, who, solely out of covetousness, has at different times treated the un fortunate city of Basle in a manner unheard-of even in times of war. " Let us then display the courage and the senti ments which become Swiss, and the fatigues and the dangers to which w•e shall he exposed will be lighten ed by the conviction that we have done our duty to our country. " LICIITENH %FIN, Colonel of the Confeclei.ltion and Ili i,sulier." CAnr.soung, AUG. 22.—Yesterday morning Jo- TOIIIP Bonaparte passed through here. He came from France, and was accompanied by a Captain in the Gel rice of Wirtewherg. I.Aussxsc, Au°. 13.—The residence of Madame Hortense near Genera causes much uneitsiness among the neighbouring inhabitants. She writes and receives a salt number of letters, speaks of events iu • tone of confidence ntlich excites astonishment, and finds every body very unreasonable whose opinions differ from her own. VIENNA, Au&. 17.—Some persons believe that the Danish troops, though their apparent destination is to France, have in reality one that is very dif ferent. According to their opinion, the Danish troops are destined to proceed by a circuitous route to another country, whose relations would change for a second time. The circumstance that the indem nifications of the King of Denmark are not yet duly arranged, seems to give some weight to this opinion. Double vigilAnce is now exercised on the side of Ser. ►ia• The strictest orders have been given not to !lave any communication with the Serviang ; for which reason (especially as it is affirmed for certain, That they can expect no assistance from Russia) they are not likely to be so successful in their new insur rection against the Turks as they were in the form e r. BoLooNa, AUG. Io.—By an Edict of Cardinal Gonsalvi, all the codes introduced by the late Go vernment are abolished. The Austrian troops have almost wholly quitted compensated, in a considerable degree, for the dis.: this city, which is now garrisoned by Papal troops. aPPosittntent• Mr. WAtc.scx, we should imagine, Three hundred officers, &c. of different noticing, delineates the confident folly of inebriety in a manner who were in the Neapolitan service, chiefly in the that can scarcely he surpassed by any actor now on the boards; he was very Of.armly applauded. 4w o rd, have been brought through here , under escort of the regiment of Diller, and sent to Alaistua. 11,taf.cv, of the Lyceum, makes his debut at Drury.lasse Theatre, as Acres, in the Comedy of ... -1," the Rivals.

The additional Duty of a Halfpenny, imposed by Government upon Newspapers takes place to-day. — When those Papers which are pampered by Govern ment patronage are shifting the burden to the Public —when it is considered that r:e can still less afford to bear it, and that this advance affords no profit to the Proprietor, it being a tax which we have with just reason reprobated, we earnestly hope our Readers will not fall obt with trs do this account, when we inform them. id common with every other News paper, that we are under the necessity of adding the halfpenny thus imposed to the price of our Journal, and that the STATESMAN will COUSEAUeIitIy hereafter be sold at Seven.pence. An additional duty of Six-pence on each Advertisement also takes place at the same time.—We are earnest to show the Reader the extent of the encouragement which Government is disposed to give to the chan nels of information, at a period of unusual public anxiety,and when it is more than ever necessary that . the true state of affairs should be known. Those ' who think that every impost levied by Government, especially in this " just and necessary war," should be borne with cheerfulness, will not object to the , small additional charge thus made, conscious that by a ready acquiescence in its propriety, they are so far contributing to the wants of the State ; whilst those who are of opinion with us, that this imposi tion, which will and must eventually be the cause of a material defalcation in the revenue, from the dropping of Papers, which will inevitably, in many instances, be the consequence, is, in reality, an at tempt to deprive the Public of its most useful and independent channels of information, will, it is as justly expected, see the greater necessity there is for supporting that class of Journals whom this additional blow et the Liberty of the Press is likely most seriously to affect. It is, therefore, with mere confidence we console ourselves le the expecta tion that there will be no falling off in the sale of the STATESMAN, which has alone trusted to the attachment which Britons ore known to entertain for their independent privileges and the instrument of their preservation, for the means of support, and thus appeals to she liberal feelings of its Su:escribers for a continued proof of their favour. There are many to whom we need say but little on this subject, aware that the place of the STATEsmAs will be far from being supplied to satisfaction by the preference given to the devoted and acknowledged tools of power; but we trust that we shall be excused ven turing this hint towards inspiriting to something sa vouring of patriotic resolition, the wavering resolves of those whom this matter nra) have placed in doubt, and divided between ideas of necessity and economy. The Spectator, in commenting on the rise of his paper, in consequence of a similar tax, mentions a very pleasing instance of "a large family of daugh ters," who en their father having refused to take in the Spectator, on account of the additional price which had been set upon it, offered unanimously to bate him the article of bread and butter in the tea table account, provided they might hive their fn. vourite paper served up to them as usual. Upon this the old gentleman, being it seems so well pleased with their desire of improving themselves, granted them the continuance of both the Spectator anti their bread and butter. We cannot expect that any of our Readers will voluntarily deprive themselves of such indispensildes as bread arid butter are generally considered to be, for the enjoyment of our Political Discussion ; but if they shall really have the virtue to make the offer of such sacrifices, we hope they will meet with equally liberal contributors to their amusement ; and if our slender abilities shall enable us to lessen this tax in the estimation of all who honour us with their perusal, Mr. IFANSITTAUT'S Halfpenny shall not so far embitter or diminish the evening enjoyments of many of our countrymen as some, tremblingly alive to such considerations, may expect.

Similar calls have, we under stand, been made from Madras, gombay, Ceylon, the Isle of France, the Cape of Good Hope, &c. It is supposed, that from six to ten full battalions besides will be sent from Europe.
