LONDON: WEDNESDAY, MA ROI '2O, 1815. A Dutch Mali arrived this forenoon. The articles in the Papers which it brings describe the measures of precaution which have been taken in the present alarming crisis as of the most active and vigorous kind. The united forces, consisting of Prussian, Hanoverian, English, Dutch, and Belgian troops were all advancing, but they had not passed the frontiers at the date of these accounts. The army thus collecting to cover the Belgic frontier, from 'Freres to Newport, was expected to amount in a few days to 150,000 men. The accounts from Vienna leave no doubt coi the Declaration of the Congress against NAPOLEON being . genuine document. Letters from that capital of the speak of that passionate effusion with very little of Ihe language of commendation. They add, that NAPOLEON'S mother, his sister PAULINE, and his Mother Jrnoste had been arrested and conveyed to Ciatz. The Paris Papers of the tad stated, that " Madame, the mother of the EMPEROR, and one of the Princesses, his sister, whom he had left at, Porto Ferrajo, had arrived at Viareggio, near LuecA." Ihe brussels Paper; received by the Dutch Mail to-day are slot so late by three or four days as those we had yesterday. They therefore do not enable us to decide on the accuracy of a report which prevailed last night, affirming that the Hereditary Prince of Ott tNcE had actually proceeded .with a body of British and Dutch troops beyond Tournay, towards the French frontier, if he had not actually passed We cannot help saying, we have pleasure in perceiv ing this rumour not confirmed. The Sovereign Prince had better keep within Ilia own newly-ac quired territory : he will have enough to do to de fend that, and keep his own people quiet, if BONA PARTE is marching for Belgium. The people of Bel gium are decidedly hostile to the Prince of ORANOE. Ilia Proclamation as SoYerigo, notwithstanding the • assertions in the Dutch Papers, called forth but lit. tie demonstrations of-joy from the minds of the flenple; and there is much reason to fear that when active co-operation on their part is most necessary to repel the invasions of the French, the decided pre ference which the Belgians have for their French neighbours will be thown by no very strong dislike of the invaders. The Doke of WELLINGTON'S re. THE STATESMAN. port on this. subject, and the still more important degree G . ( cordial co-operation to be eapected . trotn the heterogtbenus military masses now assembling in Flanders, together with the strength of the for tresses, is, we understand, looked for with great impatience. But, though we have not yet the Duke's opiniov on these topics, and think my Lord CASTLERE.tuII might not to have had this to receive now, we think tolerably accurate guesses may be formed on all the points. The information which we communicated yester day of Lours XVIII. liavieg arrived at Ostend, was Correa. Ministers in the afternoon received dis patches confirming this fact. His Majesty, accom panied by only a few private friends, more of a ' priestly than a military character, arrived at that place on Friday last. We hear that Wanstead house has been for some time fitting up for his Ma jesty ; but we see it stated that he is to continue as long as he can at Ostend, to defend that place, it . necessary. We are told that as the place is situated within a short walk of the French frontier, and is considered as capable of an interminable defence; from its capability of being inundated fora league around, and his Majesty may, at any time, with the assistance of the British navy, (who are, no doubt, to be stationed within hail in all weathers, for his Majesty's protection), embark for England, and bid Boric? defiance ;—but more particularly as the Spanish historians tell us that " it occupied the Spa niards and Dutch three years" (to reduce it, we suppose), and that they lost 130,000 men before it, it is, of all places, the most fit for Louts XVIII. to make a stand at, and see how many more rash men may lose their lives before it, by cannon shot, or inundation. We say nothing of the propriety of this stand, but believe, in all sincerity, that it is wise and kind to provide a safe resting place for the remainder of his days to a Monarch so harassed, so personally inoffensive, and so much deluded as the unfortunate Sovereign who has so far escaped from the dangers that have been pursuing him, as Ostend.l The Duke of ORLEANS was, at the date of the last accounts, still at Tourney, together with the Duke Of BERRI. It is said the Duke of ORLEANS was in great personal danger at Lisle ; that he escaped with great difficulty ; and that he owes his life to the exer tions of Marshal MORTIER. The Declaration of the Allied Sovereigns, placing • NAPOLEON out of the pale of civil and social reht tions, is now very generally receiving the appellation of horrible, and most rash and impolitic. Certain. ly, if the breaking of Treaties, political or moral, is to be considered by Courts and Cabinets as de priving Princes and Sor , reigns of die only legal title on which existence depends, we apprehend there ; are some crowned heads in Christendom besides BONAPARTE'S whom such a law, were it universally, adopted and acted upon, would place in a very , pre miens sitnation..t Bat BaNALPARTE'9 brows were not encircled with the Imperial diadem of France, nor graced with the prouder boast of the unanimous approbation of the people, when this Declaration was . fulminated forth in the jealous impotence of the Congress of Vienna. Ile was, forsooth, only 44 an onaided adventurer, a rebel, and a traitor, skulking about among the mountains of the Faubourg Guillotier, with four guns and some two or three hundred brigands in his train," and it was vainly thought that this denunciatiA, with the names of the French and Austrian Ministers attached, and six other Cabalistical signatures besides, some that had and others that had not signed the Treaties said to be broken, would of itself put him down. But this it has not effected, and it remains to be seen whether all the Powers who have thus committed themselves to war without mercy or re morse, can effect their object of destruction by even such means as civilized nations shudder to contemplate. That a British Minister, that a British soldier,—far more that the Duke of WELLINGTON should bare ap pended hid .. signature to such a document, and thereby comuuitt oyntry he represents toa war of extermination, the sincerest regret in every honourable mind, and "tie ask, in the wor a Cotemporary, " is it possible that any agents c have taken upon themselves to sign such a paper with cnit instructions ?"—let us add, withoat Parliament having empowered M inisters to grant such instructions, and instructions to this effect the Diplomatists could not have unless it be said, as some of the French people ridiculously say, that our Government were awave of BONAPARTE'S escape, and made provision for it. We have wondered at TALLEYRAND having signed such Co impolitic and ill-digested Manifesto, after being made acrinainted with the light in which he viewed the conduct of the Allied ISovereiges; which has giren such strength to BONAPARTE-..-. but his conduct is explained by his being in the list of those whom NAPOLEON bas put to the bano—but that the Emperor of AUSTRIA should give his consent to this horrible denunciation of his son. in-law is as strange as any of the " passing strange" thingswehave lately seen.:Aconjecture is hazarded that Austria is acting a deceptions part throughout, and that it is a part of Bost tr tItTE'S plan, in concert with Austria, to sacrifice Italy to the latter, on con dition of co-operation on his return to France. This is stated, and it is to be remarked, that BONAPARTE in all his. Proclamations stiles himself " Empereur," &c. never " Emper-eur et Roi," &c. The return of the Empress LoorsA to Paris will be conclusive proof of the deep intrigue.

All the Prus sian troops that can be put in motion are marching to the Duchy of Luxemburgh. The Hanoverian troops are conveyed in waggons. BRUSSELS, Mmicif 19.—The measures of precau tion which have been taken in the present crisis, are of the most vigorous description. The United forces, consisting of Prussian, Hanoverian, English, Dutch, and Belgium troops, are all advancing, and our frontiers, from Treves to Neuport, will be covered in a few days with an army of 150,000 men. 'hang, MARCU 16.—The East Prussian regi ment of• infantry, two regiments of hussars, two six-pounder batteries of artillery on foot, one bat tery of twelve-pounder horse artillery, and also a train of artillery, are arrived here.
