AUGUST 30. A Dutch mail has arrived with papers to the 25th inst; Intelligence from Brussels, dated the 21st, accounts fur the recent arrests at Ghent. It appears, that•vurious foreign half-ply officers, having heard that military delegates were in that city enlisting. troops for the Insurgents of New Granada, had pro ceeded thither for the purpose of obtaining commis sions from them. The magistrates deemed it expe dient to interfere, and several, whosse pas.sports were fitund to be irregular, were taken into custody. Most of them were ordered to quit Flanders. The settlement of the account in Consols took place on Thursday at the Stock• Exchange, when in addition to those already noticed, six defaulters were publicly declared, making in the whole no less than fourteen in the present week. An equal number of persons are said to have settled their time-bargains by a private composition ; and the mischief is still considered as far from having reached its terminati on. .A settlement so final in its consequences has rot been . recollected at the Stock Exchange for a ling period. The causes are to be traced to the state of public opinion when the contract for the present loan was completed; when, from the dimi nution of the sinking-fund, a fall of the Funds was contemplated as certain, and the large majority of speculations were undertaken in that persuasion. A great proportion of the tinw-bargains now settling were carried forward from the J 1v account. Con sols fee October closcd yesterday at 71, 5 ,, and Omni um at 4.1/minium. Mr. S. Bamfor.l, who has published several poems under the title of Mr Buy, was apprehended as to y e o'clock on Thursday ((((( at his house at NI id. dletnn, alanat six miles • ftuai Manchester.

Suspicious Draih.—On Wednesday night au issquisi tson was held at the King's Arms, Battersea, before Thomas Stirling. I*. coroner for klidillesex, on the body of Emuta 'ruiner, a young woman Is years of age. It appeared front the evidence adduced, that the decea sed was servant to Mr. Simukins, butcher, in Queen street, near Baitersea.hridge ; she was or a lively dispo sition, and was much respected in her capacity. About three weeks ago, Itieharst Massey, a journeyman in the employ at Mr. Sinipkin, arcideutly broke his arm, and was confined to Isis tied at his master's house; in costse qoence the deceased attended him. 111. master, he,V. ever, told him to go home till he recovered, which he did.

At Covent Garden, Tragedys it is de terrnined,. es before, will be put Colt in all its pro minence, supported by that admired actress, mi ss Neill. The managers, in furtherano: of this view, have entered into an enga,,, ,, einent with Mr. Shied, to give Mai 4001. fur the production Ma new tragedy, w►th a part, of course to be allotted to Miss O'Neill, whether it succeeds or not. Should its success be established, the author is to be rewarded with a clear sum of 1,0001. ENGLISH OPLRA House.—The crowded Houses at this fitvourite resort of the public bespeak the general approval of the management, although we oureelves very much question the policy of D ual ing the poplar pieces so lungs We could point out, to those who have the arrangemonts, many Stock Pieces possessing as much merit as their present Bills can boast, with the additional one of novelty t• must of the audience; Pieces that on the first opening of the Theatre us " The English Opera House," jammed to it so much success, us to create the most violent and ill-natured jealousy and oppo sition on the part of its opponents. . _ SADLLICS WELLS.—On — Friday evening the Duke and Duchess of Kent honoured Ads delightful place of amusement with their presence. Toe managers had gone to great expence in their peep:stations— the grand entrance to the piazza was brilliantly illuminated with the letters D.

The Duke and Duchess attended, by Cul. Parker, entered the house at eight o'clock and remained Cali the finish of the performances O their entrance the National Anthem was excellently sung by the whole corps-tk C9pera. While so many persons are attempting to ascribe the. present discontent to a want of loyalty we are highly wadded to bear witness to the ENTliusiAsx with which the Duke and Duchess of Kent we received; a rapturous feeling similar to that with which his Royal Brother of Sussex has been every where greeted during his excursion through, Norfolk. %'s u ALL.
