We shall• below refer to the De cCee of the Lieutenant General of the Police Moreau k we at present only point it not to your Mak_sty'.

His ttioilal remains were brini7ey *4l here last night,and after having been embalM -ed, Will be redioved to I.lrtinswicli. -For the rest, `the details of these affairs are not yet known there are variations in rile particulars, but what is certain is, titbit the troops have covered them selves ivitb glory; and that the enemy has retro .... rad'ed.--:-These events have followed so close on each other, that it is impossibl e to co ll ect the de.; tails: His Royal highness the Hereditary Prince displayed on'this occasion a degree of bravery, of intrepidity, and of sang froid, which have excited the admiration of the army. The Eelgian troops Lave maintained the high reputation Jor valitut which they have at all times enjoyed. The numerous and magnificent English cavalry Which was cantoned in the environs of NinnVe and Grammont, and which is stated to amount to 10,000 men, defiled yesterday afternoon between Halle and Enghien, with 40 pieces of cannon, to Fla c r_theJefii u , __flip Yr enc h_ artu Ail . Last nig it and this m or pi ng - a super b train ZT- English artillery has been passing•throngh - this city or along the glacis, proceeding to the army of the Duke of Wellington ; at noon the 27th and 40th English regiments of the line, with their music playing, passed through. here, and proceerle , l without stopping to the same destination. On the other side we learn, that 12,000 Prussians set Out this morning from Liege, in carriages, to join the army of Prince Blucher; and that a corps of 0,000 men defiled the day before yesterday by Namur, corning fro , n the environs of Dinant, Marche, and Huy. ' , Ve think it our duty to coin- ! municate to the pub; :c these news, which are suf ficient to tranquilize the most fearful minds. Last night and this morning a certain number" ttf wounded have been brought to this city, tic here every measure has been taken to receive and take all possible care of theta. The most belong to those fine Scotch r eg i ments which have made part Of our garrison, and which are as estimable for their valour as tot their discipline and the gentle ness of their manners; the 'greatest part of those wounded belong to. the Prussian army-. This morning some French prisoners have been brought in, among whom ate observed an Officer of Bnonapartc's sates, A greater number tire expected.. • GHENT, JUSE :5. it.tronr made to the KING in Council, upon the Decree of NikrilLEON RUONAPARTIK, dated the 9th of this month,. by ViSCMIIII, CMATEAU BRIAND, Minister of His Mo-st Christian Ma jesty to the Court- of S,vedda. • Staa„---A-11 Fiance demands its King your llajestyis subjects no longer dissetrrhltvtheir sen ihnents; sonic come to range themselves around' you ; others, in the interior of the kingdom, dis play-aKir loVe to their lawful Sovereign, and the flope of soon recoveving Peace under his tutelary antbority. 13tit the more public opinion ma ifests itself,' the more does lluonaparte, ter- En:lke his yoke weigh heavy on the i'reneh. Ile calk anarchy to the succour of des potism ;. he desires but in vain , to shake the fidelity of the Fanxboargs of Paris, to armt the lowest' of the people" to support his tyranny; he seeks under rags arms embrued with the blood of the massacres of September. He turns over the revolutionary archive, to. discover in them some laws' caldnialed to" second : his rage. It is this spirit of violence which has dictated the last re port of BuOnaparte's ministers of the Police. This ., report diced the 7th of May, has been foYlowed by a decree issued trie 9th, by the pretended Chief of the Government of Prance, and: the" sni-disma Afinister of Justice has crowned this Report and this Decree, by his cir cular letter of the I him,- addressed tar the Procu. Ir-curs-General, ptorictiy confiscated. t A rtiele' of 11;cree Of the §th )i! ) . ; the - Prfietli'eni•s-: to pi•oieeli t te Cf ei , 6ry relatioti or etluitiiiondenee fi-oni the Ili .ferioi• of trAnet Majcity, Or the of yvur House; or their agents, %Vbere sticli ice— latioti Of 'Coii . espoiidenee shall have for their object the phiti - drnianeetivres gpeified in the Ar ticle of the renal Cat!e. . . This 77th Article of the Peril Code protinimees tht penalty of death and the Confiscation of Pr o .. :perty against whoever shall have practited ma= nmuvres, or kept tip a CorrespOndenCe With the. enemies of the State. The 4th, sth, anti Gth Ankles of the Decree of the 9th of May are dire - cted against such of your Majesty's subjects as shall take down the tri coloured flag ; against the communes who shall not Oppose this, and - against those persons who shall wear any other rallying sign than the tri-coloured Cockade. Toall th ese pretended crimes are applied the 25th Art.. of the Penal Code, the law of the 10th Vert. of the year 4, relative to the responsibility of the -10-rnm,r,-5- rtmt-rirrc--S, Is- ak-r-ritli: t/f-thv L. ,I , of t b 27th Germinal of the year 4, without prejudice to the 91st Article of the Penal Code. The 257th-Article of.t he Penal Code pronounces an imprisonment "Of from two months. to two years, or a fine of 100 to 500 francs, against whoever has destroyed Monuments destined for public utility, &c. The Law of the Convention relative to the joint responsibility of the Communes, by the first head and first article., renders all the inhabitants of the same Communes responsible for crimes committed, whether against persons tn , property ; and by the second head, Art. 1, this responSibi lity falls even upon children who have reached the age of 12 years. We proceed, Sire, -to the Arret6 of which we have spoken .above. The Lieutenant of Police of the 3d Arrondissement published at Nantes, on ) the 15th May,' this Art&e, the reanible and the dispositions of which are equally remarkable.— Attributing the troubles of the Western Depart- Merits to the Ex-Nobles, he desires, lie says., to deprive calumny - of every pretext, and to give the Ex-Nobles an opptrtuttity to justify themselves. In consequence, -the Arri'..tj says, that all the Gentlemen of .the Twelve Departments forming the 3d Arrondissement of.•the Police, shall be bound to repair within ten 'days to - the Prefect of their Department. If the *Prefect kodges that their past conduct does not offer'a sutlicient secu rity, he shall send them tinder care of the Police to some Commune in the interior, and if they do not appear before the Prefect, the first Article of the Decree of the gth May shall be applied to them. The Minister of Police a France' said •in his Report that i he would not propose to nuonaparte to exceed. the- limits of his constitutional power, and now we see a mere Lieutenant de Police pass sentence of exile, confiscation, and death, against ( ' a whole class of citizens, who :are not even in - chided in. the llsecree of the oth of May. This is what is called confining onesself within the limits F.) f constitutional power. In spite of all that we have seen for these 25 years past, one is confound edat such a scandalous abuse of words, at having liberty always invoked to establish slavery, the constitution to sanction arbitrary acts, and the laws to proscribe. .. It was impossible to invoke and invent any laws more monstrous to punish fidelity, loyalty, and honour.--When we read the circular of the Mi nister of Justice, we fancy that we; are reading that law concerning the suspected, which seems the expressions of all the terrors which tyranny feels, and of all the vengeance which it meditates. A Minister ofiustice invites Judges to guard against an imprudent pity for crimes which,: by his own avowal, call rather for indulgence than rigour. Ile (tares to say, that is not proper to acquit Or . condemn a Man upon the fact of which he is ac cused, because this fact may offer in itself uothinm, reprehensibl e ; h ut h e desires that they slu,ll 'de cide upOn the circumstances all together ; that is, in other words, that a man maybe dragged to the scaffold according to the opinion which` it shall please the Judges to attribute to this man.— Where, Sire, would your enemies now be, if you 'had employed agaibst them those princi ples which they advance. to Prosecute your subjects ? We shall not propose to your ~Majesty to adopt such principles; they are contrail' to your virtues, and to the spirit of. a legal and pa ternal Government ; but even the goodness of the King !night to defend fidelity against rebellion, and, we beg you to threaten with the vengeance of the laws those who'shall dare to render them selves time accomplices of ail illegitimate aut hori ty. • After having beard this Report, his Majestyhats . 1 made the following Ordinance : ORDINANCE OF THE KING. Louis . , by the Grace of God, King of France and Navarre—To all who shall see these presents, greeting : At ti►e moment when the most odious measures are renewed in France, our dearest duty, as welt as our Most pressing want, is to defend the rights Our people against oppression and tyranny. We have seen with profound grief the life, the, iberty, and the property of all the French who have remained faithful to their duty, endangered by the Decree, by the Chief of the pretended Go vernment` of Fran ce,. passed on the 9th of 014 month, and by the Art .

Every thing induces us to believe that Brussels was the abject of his aim. He attacked the Prussian right wing with great vigour and decision., it should also seem rather unexpectedly, and he:drove it hack with loss.
