It will be seen that the rupture of tits armistice is yet to be found only in the detecting prints of this Metropolis ; and, whit is not a little extraordinary, the Archduke CRAiILtS, who has been loaded with abuse by 'these very prints, for having urged the c•oclusion of tlee Peace., is now assorted to be decided fa his opposition to that swa m/re. We feel great cariosity to see how this correction will be treated by the Ministerial Toots—T,e Courier, and The Post —the Nabob's Post.

Three hundred gunboats from Boulogne base been brought np by the canals in the interlbr, to trans. port that ditision, commanded, it is said, by Brit- N A DOTTE, to Walchcrcn. The expectation of an attack is so prevalent, that the British Governor finds it necessary to adopt nearly all the precau tions called fur by the actual presence of an ene my, and a body of 10,000 men has been left for the defeneirOf the island.

This looks as if Ministers had nut relinqui,hed all further offensive move. intents in that quarter. An Officer who has jest left his station in the neighboarhuoil of the Scheldt, acquaints us that 411 the ships of tsar of the enemy have had their genii removtilf in order to citable them to pass the shallow watey and that in consequeneo of being lightened, liiist have approached the viciteity of Antwerp, and are thus played mach beyond the r. all of nosy of the dntritetive missiles the ingc. unity of Colonel CONGREVN Cali supply. With the artillery taken from the skipping, batteries hive been form'ed through the extent of many miles between B..velasid and Antwerp, which it is. to he a p p re h en d ell will render it impossible fur our ships of war to go up the river. A considerable part of the garrison of Flushing caasisted of Austrians and Spaniards. it is reported in private letters, that 44 When the Hirticilition made its first appearance at the mouth of the Scheldt, so little was it expected th•le, that the Governor of Antwerp was absent Item his post, and was actually at itia, drinking the waters for the benefit of his health, lie was brought hack by an express, and immediately nn his arrival, bait nut until then, were the least preps. rations made to defend the town and harbour against the impending attack."—We feel great' dilliculty iii giving creilit to this statement. it is inspussible that, amongst the various conjectures as to the object of our Expedition, the Seivellit should never once have suggested itself to the me i my, who is not very apt to be dull of apprehension on titese siebjects. 1 A treat number of the men wounded at Flushing land its vicinity, are happily recovering very ra. i pidty sitter they have arrived at the hospitals. — I 'There has fortunately no species of fever prevailed i a.vi wig them, not% itlistauding the leßsuit of the i year, and tat) only have died since landing. 1 Except in the article of water, our troops have been must ahssndantty supplied, both in Walche.

Sic —ln the Silt column of your Paper of Taetsday 14)t, uu have inserted an account of the landing of a number of si omen cud children at rtutuu tia. twiongi ng to our soldier.;—so far your information is correct--but the subsequent insi. nuation, of the inhumanity of tile French Go vernment in not having supplied them with provi. sions on board the cartel, is certainly unjust— 'notwithstanding it is said to have Lem stated front authority.

Devonshire, Anent 46, 1114 g, We feel at all times great pleasure in correct ing a mistake; and are grateful to our Corm poudent fur his information. On reference, we find that the paragraph was copied from one of tho Morning Papers, in almost all of which it ap peared. lii what motive such an imps' ition of inhumanity cast have originated, it is difficult to conjecture. The miseries of war surety require not that aggravation which such taisrepreseeta lions are calculated to produce. England and France are this most civilized countries on the fare of the globe. The humanity and generosity of England are kno:cn—and wiiatever may have been the atrocities committed during the French Revels_ gloss, the public may rest assured (on the authority of very respectable persons who have been rele.tsed from confinimient its France), that the general conduct of the people there has been marked by humanity, and the most friendly civility to. wards our countrymen. In the fury of ciril ani mosities; the people of France were guilty of excesses, and even cruelties, at which humanity shudders. Bit let us not be so prejudiced, as to suppose that_ humanity exists not in France. The people of that country are as strongly into. cured by the social principle as any people in the world. In reprobating the people of France, we seem to forget the many acts of cruelty and outrage that are reoorded of the people and the Government of England at various periods of history. In the reign of that Monarch who was called by the peopk to the Throne for the preservation and establishment of their liberties, en act was committed, a hich might vie with almost :my to be found the calendar of recent inhumanity,. Is the massacre at Glencoe, a whole Clan was Ay a deliberate order indiscriminately murdered — men, women, and ehildren..-and that too by a party of soldiers, who, previous to the commis siun of that maim deed, had accepted the huspi• talky of the devoted inhabitants of the Talks) , of Glencoe.—That act dzed an indelible 'tent on the reign of King %VALLI tir.-13sit %%ha: if , ie turn our eyes towards Ireland in 17V8 ? - Is it bet 'ming in those people, whit to this uttur cqntinite tops. tify those horrors—to load tb.: Purnell people ; with abuse fur cruelty ? ! ! !

This *as, however, a mistaisv; the ;Nonpareil has not brought the expected dig. patches io Government, and it is apprehended that the vessel which sailed %ill& them has either beim lust, ur captured by the enemy. We are happy to have it in our power to state, on 4he authority of an agricultural survey recently made in the counties of Norfolk, Sutfolk, and Cambridge, that the crops of IV heat are guneralty good and free from mildew, and are principally housed. Thu Barley is also good, but not quite fit to cut. Turnips are eta very good, but soma few pieces have gut the Hy.

By these we learn, that the report of a general em. barer) in the harbours of Ramis and the Baltic is en !meting. At. embargo has been imposed, but, instead of being general, it is confined to native ships only, and its sole object is to prevent their failing into the hands of. the British force codling in that sea. With a licence from this country, it is understood that any Russian ships OrtilM he per. mittcd to take than dcparture. All the difficalties respecting the American vessels in "the port of Itiga have been removed by the good understand. ing which subsisb betweets the consignees and the official agents of the Russian Government.
