A Flanders Mail arrived this morning, bringing !',r`:r•ic, Frankfort, Berlin , and Vienna Gazettes, tho 231 to the Jlst ult. There is scarcely, however. an article of intelligence in them worthy of not:oe. Th , accounts from Brussels, of the 30th, state that the Duke of WELLINGTON and Prince BLUCHER 111 sk out f•r Grammont, where there was to be a ;rani! review on their arrival. General Hur l the Ps ince of On iNGE, and a great miny superior offi cers of di:remit nations were also to be there. Brussels Papers say, the country from the North Si to 1,0-tornburgh presents the aspect of a vast ( . :1•?•”, frith superb and numerous armies eager for ;Lod commanded bythe greatest Generals of the yr. _ In the inPAt of all this gathering and touring of the hoF;ile elements, there are signs of peace and the re. Il o w al of friendly communications. An article from I.ill-, of the :th, says, 66 The Diligence from Line Mc in :tuft Ypres resumed yesterday its usual jour ney. It will continue to convey merchandise to Bel !juin." • It is-stated by way of correcting a statement of the return of the King of S.itomv to Leipsic, that the Kitti,;nf DVOIAILIE had arrived there on the 10th. 'Whet is the king of DENMARK to do at Leipsic? If .same accounts are true, there is no better friendship subsisting between their Majesties of PRUSSIA and lit Ns: RIC than the King of SAXONY may be supposed to ewertain for FREDERICK WILLIAM, the present possessor of his territory. We find by llamburgh Gottesiburgh Mails that have also arrived, that romerania is likely to become a bone of contention boween their Prussian, Danish, and Swedish Ma jesties. It has been supposed that Pomerania would be surrendered lo the Court of Copenhagen by Swe den, in fulfilment of the condition of the Treaty of hie!, but it is now doubted whether Prnssia ,would not take possession of it by force, on account of the pecuniary demands she has on the same Court. Be this as it shall happen according to the will of these most just and disinterested sworn Allies, there is co•nridernble reason to apprehend that Sweden will no' give any cordial co-operation to the plans of the alliance ; and it is even said, that in consequence of leer refusal to do so, she is to be immediately attacked I,y the Confederates. There is no confirmation in the Flanders Mail tie livered to-day, of the arrival at their posts, and the rapid marching of the great Russian armies, an nounced in some of the inflated and. hyperbolical statements sent forth by our Ministerial brethren, who are, in their vengeful imaginatious, morning and evening, drawing from the fertile sources of their own insretion, armies for the destruction of France and its Emperor, as numerous and formidable as ever figured in the hyperborean regions of the sky, and with about as little existence in reality. It is evident from the Proclaroations issuing by Prussia and Ituss%r to their newly acquired subjects, more of which' hare reached es to-day, and the military . measures which we see necessary, particularly throughout the Polish and Saxon provinces, to re press insurrection and insure respect to the newels-. thorities, that the troops which can be spared from these to act against France, cannot amount to any thing like the numbers stated in the Dutch, German, and our own Ministerial Journals.--By the grand review spoken of above, the Doke of WELLINGTON doubtless means to see what is the r- al force already collected, and endeavour to form an estimate of the degree of co-operation he has to t.x;•cct from the component parts of the army, aurl what is likely to be elected by them. The san guine hopes indulged on this head must be a little damped by the confessions in the Dutch and Ham burgh Vapors that Prince BLUCHER has been under t h e n ecessity of dismissing some of his principal offi eeis, in particular General Bottsret., for having opposed the horning of the Saxon standard and tine severe measures taken against the refractory Casette; and the still more important and alarm fog intelligence that it has been necessary to dismiss elan the Dutch Minister at. War, JANSENS, for the predilection heitas sbowu to NAPOLEON. Whilst we are pansies oar notices we are naturally l.d to couple with these remarks the statement in the French Papers of Tuesday, which are also arrived, that even TALLEYRAND, the Mi nister of Louts, has been arrested by the Allies on suspicion of playing an unfair put towards them. - 7 It is affirmed that this arrest took place near Carlorhue, by order of the Allied Sovereigns, and that there were found in the pocket of the French Minister's carriage papers of very great import once. Whether On Prince of BENEYENTE would ir4vo liven so propertied, es to travel with paperscrimi slat firy'of himself, so exposed to detection, we cannot F7y hutit,iirertaitylipthecoancils of Loy's X.V111... arc ais! r Aid by varying opinions; Opt. Geitlaw that unfortunate Prince, nnr any torly else, cait place confidence in vie Mini• tens that surround ,him,Wand that the iloun-ox fitnily ate about to quit Ghent. As to TALLEYIIASD, we shall he surprised at no changes or tergiversations that may he exhibited on his part, though he has lately become Lord CASTLE REAGIeS very good and immaculate friend. The French (nulls are improving ; and as the pre parations for the Champ de Mai are now complete, the Assembly which is to vtathe the French EMPEROR in the gall) of a nation's cheice, and nrm him with the constitutional strength of time Empire, will take place, immediately—it was expected this day. It will not then be Boxxrxture, but the French nation with whom the Allies will have to war, and a military power very unlike that with which they had to contend at the beginning and the close of the contest. It is stated that the registers of the votes of the Department of Cote d'Or, on the new Constitutional Act, present a total of 42,169 ?gas, and 19 noes.— The number of voters of the Department of Allier gives a total of 6619 for, and 40 against it. A to- , lerable specimen this of the popular sentiment. • The itisurrectioos are trot increasing, though vigo rous measures have been adopted at Cher:burgh and• Bourdeaux to procure obedience to the orders of the • Government. We have advices through other chart. nels from Bourdeac'x to the 2101, which mention no thing of the white fig being hoisted there. In fact, the hoisting of the white flag in some places appears ' to have been fir no other purpose than to obtain a supply of arms and ammunition for the troops of the new Government ; and it would seem . Ilas.trAture has actually 11,) mote to do, witeo he stands in want of such supplies, than merely to give a hint to some of the inhabitants of the out-ports to hoiit the white flag, and vessel:- come fu:l fraught to the Vreiich shore with the vt.'.aale req;iisites! The sea. ports are sending their quotas of the stibccrivtina, apparelitly without a mum lour. Advice (ruin St. Rlatoes state, that the French Government has impose,', an embargo on the British vessels in that port, avowedly hi consequence of the assistance ai7)rded by this country to the Royal cause. The French miiitary power appears to be very strong in the South. There is a camp of 30,000 men near Chambery ; one of 'lO,OOO men is forming between LyOns and Geneva ; another of the' same force is establishing between Grenoble and Fink Bar. reaur. Some minor assemblages in that quarter are also mentioned. The French Papers do not confirm the Brussels account of the entry of the Austrians i n to Naples. We suspect this iutelligoure is premature. The French prnam, from Brest to !Lyre, with' ammunition, &c. detained by a British frigate on Sa turday last, has since arrived at Portsmouth. it is now ascertained to be his Majesty's ship Desiree that detained her, and as the Desiree left PoTts mouth very recently on a cruise, it is presumed she had Admiralty orders. ,~ y ~~,. We understand thnt Messrs. ilistr, Mcyrr.r., SIIEWELL, SPICFR, and two Rankers, one in Man sion-house-street, nod the other in Lombard-street, will form the new list for the Loan. The message is expected in City to-morrow or on Monday.— The Loan is mantlu;:ed to amount to 2.1 or 25 mil lions. The Prussian troops which were stationed in the neighbourhood of Berlin are advancing by forced marches to the Rhine. The peace with America has already greatly re duced-the poor rates at Mnucheiter. '4 The expendi ture upon the whole of the pear will be sevesal thou. sands less than the last. ' Th. Datch Minister of War, JANcENS, has been dismissed. for the predilection he had shonn for the cause of BONAFAUTS. Recent adviccs from Lkhon state, that the P.srtu. geese troops intended for the Continent would not he sent off until permission bad !wen rcce,ived for that . porpose from the PRINCE itEtiENT. . • The Deice of CustscsitAno is either married. or immediate!) , about to be so, to the Princess Dowager of Sor.Ms, at Strelitz. . ;• • On the 10th of Slay, the Algerine squadron, con sisting of nine sail, the greater part fligAtes, was wets off Malaga. A S.vedish ship, the. Penelope, uho spoke them, was told they %tern cluising for Fiend' and Grecian vevels. Mr. Serjeant ItratKINGTON7, notwithstanding his new appointment, means to assist the local Magis tracy of Brighton occasionally. It is said he intends to continue his house at that place. The reason assigned for giving op the ships which have been detained by our Truisms, is to col.ciliate the sea-ports, and to strengthen the intluence of the BOURBON adherents; but we have reason to believe that the policy is now changed, and that no more de tained ships will be liber - ated. A bricklayer's labourer, of the nnme of Kell/ has been committed to Maidstone Gaul, on a charge of rape upon the body of an old woman, near eighly years of age, in a hop garden near that town. A steam engine is at present worked at Chatham, for the purpose of improving the navigation of the Medway, by clearing away the mud, of which, by its great power, it regularly fills two barges every hour. The spire of Kegworth Church, in Lancashire, which has Jost been completely repaired, is tune huundrud and aisle-five eet from the base. The work was ',cannot-4 by Messrs. Woot ton and Son, of that town. who had, on the 28th of April last, raised ladders fonr feet'ahnve the vane, upon which they played God save the King," and several other pieces of music ph the horn and clarionet. to the great astonishment of the specta tors. After which Mr. Wootton's grandusin, b child nut more than six years of age, climbed the height with biciply step, an& took down the vane, which wcips six pounds. • PROPOSED TAY ON NEWSPAPERS. It is somewhat extraordinary, that .the times in which we lire, and the events which we have witnessed, should not have impressed every Statesman with the importance of fostering and cherishing the free press of this tuantry, instead of laying it under burdens and discouragements with which it is scarcely possi ble to struggle. With this regretful impression on our minds, we feel ourselves compelled, like the rest of our brother Proprietors and Editors of News papers, to notice the reported statement of the Ctt.t c :Admit of the Excit FQUER, flint the Propri ( tors of the London Newspaper press had given their con currence to the additional tax which he has proposed to lay on public Journals, and to say that we have neither been consulted by Government as to any ouch arrangement, nor have we givea our conc::rrence to it. We are well convinced that it cookd not promote our own interests : and we are equally satisfied that it must be highly injurious to the public, without at all benefiting the revenue. We learn that it was to some Agents of . Country Newspapers that the Minister proposed such terms as have been stated; but as a Metropolitan Cotemporary says, it can neither be ai becoming nor an advantage ous thing in the Agents of Country Newspapers to compromise the interests of the press by any such agreement. When notice was given of a design to increase the duty on advertisements, a Deputation of three Pro prietors of London l'ni.ers had an audience of the CatANcur.t.on of the ExoticQuxn, and stated to him the fatal operation that such an increase must have on the press at large, and consequently on the reve nue arising therefrom. The Right Hon. Gentleman heard the reasons assigned apparently with attention: he did not express his dissent from the conclusions which they drew ; and certainly nothing like a bar gain was made, nor was any proposition like that now stated then thrown out—if it had, we know that it would have been instantaneously resisted, as being pregnant with ruin to a majority of the News papers, and consequently injurious to the revenue itself. lAn addition of a halfpenny per short may be re garded as trifling to tha Country Newspaper Printers, as their Papers are chiefly published but once a week ; but it would be a serious a:L:4kt' to the expence of daily Papers, and would occasion a diminution lathe sale, by which Cover:lntent would be the greatest sufferer, since their loss on the decrease would be in the proportion of seven to one. We cannot suppose that it is the object to diminish the sale, or to crash the periodical press ; and there ' fore! we trust that a tax which most hale that effect *Katt the probabitfty—wf-the slightest benefit to the. revenue, will be abaril ., ::ro. s ::e Deputation stated to the CaLiscct.c,nis of the Excumuce, that by euabliug the Venders of Papers to send them alvroe'd by paCkets and • vessels, free of postage, a's they are perinitl'ed to pitss by . the mails, a much larger . sum would be gained to the .revenge than .he could hope to obtain by any increase of duty (even if the present circutrtion should continue), the enormous charge now trade for sending, them abroad having the effect of a prohibition ; and n stamp on certain kind's of Placards might be reforied to at a . further substi tute, even with advantage to the pnblic, if revenue must be drawn from this source. ' From Newspapers themselves it cannot be drawn.. They are strained 'both aisto the price of the sheet 'and as to AdvertlieL meat., to the utmost possible hearing. One half of them . must be extinguished by the attempt.

Wednesday morning, Mr. Briscoe, of Finsbury square, stopped a short time on London-bridge to ser the water-works, and was kept in conversation by a middle-aged man. of respectable appearance.— After they parted lie missed his pocket-book, whictt contained considerable property in notes and bills.

POLLG S. -...--- MANAION-DOUSE.—Tbersday. Thomas Alexander and Anne Fitzgerald were brought before the LORD MAYOR, ehai7ed slide robbing the manufactory of Mr. Huoper, of Colent:: of a quantity of wax, waters, soaps, perfumeries, and "the: .rli- CleS, to a cousiderable amount. The prisoner Alexander was ts porter in the service of the Prosecutor, and 'the woman uas his cook. They had lived with him nearly two years, mid although considerable losses had been sustained, their integrity was nut suspected. until a few days since, when the Ramat' having in;nl - left her box unloc4eil, a quantity of the property men tioned was there found concealed. The theft being shortly after imputed to her, she confessed it, but said it was owing to the advice of Alexander. The latter Pi iitmer, iu r.•ply. acknow ledged the assertion, and said he alone was culpable; that he had aimself stolen the property, and subsequently pr, seated it to his female confederate. lie made a further confession of sub. bing his employer tu a comiderable amount, but the extent of the depredations have nut.yet in any manner been ascertained. The Prisoners were remaialed for another examination.
