Before I give you any description of this plate, or take any notice of its present'lllustrious shall give you some account of my journey, and' of the Ane country through which I have Iwsed.• Odr passage to Ostend was rather pleasing; the ' party on board consisted principally of entigisots, proposing to reside in the Netherlitods....•... We ' landed at Ostend on Saturday IDOTEiriC and 1 iu the cootie of the day art oft by Bruges in• the barge to Ghent. This mode of ciinveylinCe is very plessont, and cheap beyond belief. I only paid Is. •d. for thirty miles in the stitecabin.. The Netherlands throughout is a fine country; and • well cultivated, batitn evident decline is discern ible every wire*. All the improvements are maid featly the work of former times, and seem now to be preserved with difficulty. You find 00 bustle in the towns. The extensive market-places at Ostend mid Bruges are overgrown with weeds, and the few vessels which one finds in the cantle look us if they had been becalmed there s century ago. I r have been told that the population in many of the cities has been reduced one half of what it once was. Fifteen thousand families left Antwerp in one year. The loneliness that pervades the cities makes them appear very melancholy to an English eye, nor' is this effect lessened by their extreme cleanliness, which seems to arise less from the na ture' disposition of the people than from the want of inhabitants to dirty them. Liege, which was formerly the Birmingham of the Netherland., and ii still a• considerable city, is in a miserable • state. The importation of English goods list al most destroyed its manufactures. I had ■ long ' conversation there with a very intelligent man, a native of the town, oho spoke with great bitterness of the Heide Frontage, but with•great enthusiasm of N - ar. He said there were six regiments of Bel gians ready to fall upon the Prussians in their re treat, had they (unfortunately) been defeated at Waterloo. This riu will readily believe. The mine individual assured me, that they were ready to take invective part in any quurrel—i suppose to give vent to their republican spleen. • As for this " grand conspiracy of Kings," I can give you no information; the people here li terally know nothing of what is doing. Some say there is twilling to be done, while others . will rum you down with a catalogue of topics, one half of which, if seriously entertained, would render the Congress almost eternal. Yet this is told with a grave countenance; and every narrator will give you sonic Count or Baron, high in the diploinatiescale, as the source of his authentic intelligence."

According to the accounts brought in the Brus sels amid otl.er Paper', the Emperor of RUSSIA and King of PRUSSIA were to have reviewed the grand army, near Valenciennes, on the 20th'. The re trieves, therefore, have probably taken place ere this, and the several contingents lately composing the Army of Orcbpation are now hastening from France with all convenient dispatch.
