DUTCH MAIL. E rtt7s S E AVG, The ProcLittiatioii of his . ;oval flied Mess the Prince of Orange hat Made a -very favourable 'enpression, as it leaves no doubt concerning oltr,flitare lot. His Royal Highness calls round hirn the . 11'1oSt respectable persons in the • . country, both for their `talents and their virtues, and the affable reception he 'gives to every body, insores him already the respect of im'ar fellow - co'untrymen. His Royal flightless visited yester day the Palace of Lekenantl , , and it is not donbted but he will soon go to inhabit that Palace, so -re markable for its fine situation And beautiful envi- Baron Vincent sets out to-day, for' Paris, with his ,two Aides•de-Camp, the young Prince' Metternich and the young Count Bellegarde. The whole country, as far as the Maese, is eva titated by the Prussian apd:Rosian troops ;. a line of Custom House stations.has been provisionally established along that river, till the Congress of Vienna shall have definitively fixed the frontiers of the new State of which we are to form,a part. One of the Chief Bureaux is already established at Liege, in the name of the general Government of Belgium. The uncertainty respecting the oc cupation of that town is at an end. Yesterday a very fine regiment of English Guards marched in here. to form henceforth a part of our garrison; and this morning a regiment of English Chasseurs left us for another destination. We expect here a part of the German Legion, which. so greatly distinguished itself in Spain under Lord Welling ton The Belgian Hussars of Croy, a very fine corps of cavalry, come here to complete their or ganization The number of Belgic Officers, Sub moterns, and Soldiers, who have returned from France ooly within some days past, is reckoned , at 6,000. All persons employed in time Civil De partment of Government are to wear hencefor ward the Orange cockade. BRUSSELS, AUG. 1.-The eity . 'of Brussels is at this moment a scene of bustle, numbers of strang -01, particularly English, arrive daily. The dis tinguished nersonages who are among us, the hope of approaching happiness, which shall make us forget our past sufferings, all 'contribute to fill the hearts of the inhabitants of Brussels with sensa tions of pleasure: Tie amusements which were banished from the city are returning with greater splendour than ever. The celebrated Fleury, the veteran of the French theatre, in spite of his ad vanced age, still displays on our stage his agreeable talents : crowds flock to see him , and the English Ladies are not the last to applaud him. An Eng lish compane is - soon expected to appear, among 'whom are said to he some good actors. We also expect the equestrian troop of the celebrated Franconi. Brilliant equipages, fine horses, and crowds of foot passengers are daily seen in the alie verte, and give it the splendour it had lost, which will be still increased when his Roil High ness the Prince SoveeeigO is gone to Laken.— Thus all acquire new life, and, 1 kc the Phoenix, we rise from our ashes. General Platoff is arrived here, with some Cossacks of the Guard in his Suit. FRANKFORT, JULY 31.- , --His Majesty the King of Prussia, who arrived here on the 28th, de parted to day for Berlin, where he will arrive on the 4th of August. By 4 Proclamation published at Vienna, it appears that one half of the land wher are to return to their homes, the other half to be kept complete ; fathers of families in parti cular are t* he dismissed in preference. BRUNSWICK, JULY 25.---Marshal BLUCTIER ar rived here on the 23d, and was hardly gut into his hotel when the people flocked to see the hero, linibiiqf up ladders against the windows for that purpose. Our Duke visited him immediately. rae Marshal having received permission to enjoy in repose the reniaioder of his life, is gone to his daughter at Waitslehen, near Magdeburg. VIENNA, JULY 29.----The giving up Tyrol by Bavaria has betel executed very peaceably, but the new Governor having enjoined all the inhabi tants, from IS to 60 years of age, to enrol their names for the some disorders arose in consequence, which irdeced the Government to recal this order, not to irritate its new subjects, who have been at all times of a restless dispo- rons. sition. IN DI A. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM THE DETACHMENT AT JANUARY 20, 1814. " I have scarcely any thing to impart. On the 16th we made a movement a few miles to the banks of the llicheeaNullah ; a treaty is supposed to have been arranged with the Rewah Family ; our forces, or a part, no doubt, will continue on the borders of this country to au advanced period in the hot season. The Rajah of Nagond, being engaged in Do mestic quarrels, will probably need our interfe rence to effect a reconciliati6n. " Colonel Adams marched this morning with the horse artillery, the cavalry, 14 companies of infantry, two brigades of - six pounders, and the .pinuers, leaving the residue of the detachment under the com ma nd of Major Italian, of the artil lery, who are to proceed hence on the arrival of five lacs of rupees, now on their - way from the the Bami:111 to the westward. The Mow Rajah h a s quitted camp for his residence." HAM r U RGI-I.—/mportant is satisfactory to learn, that the people of llarabargh have not lost so much by Davoust's plunder of their Bank as was at first imagined, and it must be more satis factory still to be assured, that a chasm in any person's fortune. in this country may now he easily filled up by the unusually cheap purchase of a Ticket or Share in the Lottery, which draws on the Ist ot: September.—Such another opportunity of securing independeucc may not occur fur years to come. rat.Ncii PAPCRS. PAME, Auo. 7.—By an Ordonnance 1 1 :ing, the provisional duty of the 20th May On post horses is ordered to cease on the 15th Snit. The preceding duties are still Ni be collected. The Duke of Berri : left Caiubray for Valen ciennes, where he %Vas received with enthuslastu. He will also visit Dijon. Monsieur della Genga, the Pope's Nuncio Extra ordinary in France, was dangerously ill, and- had received the last Sacraments of the Church. Since this - period, however, he has become convalescent, and is pronolinced out of danger.. ciple oilr'e admitted, cylly sbotild it be agitated only to establish a taw against abuse'. But the measures proposed not only repressed the ;,,b,l:st4 but the liberty of the Press itself. Ile replied to the verbal argumenti 'of M. Frenri ; ittreigl:ted against the probable abuse of the powers of Cerl • sors, and would vote or the rejection of the project. Tualt was in favour of the law. Mr. Dur bach spoke on the other side. M. tioulard sup ported the project, but wished : _that Writinp of 20 sheets should be exempt from the Censorship, and that the law should only be in force till next Session. , M. Dumolard reasoned with great ani mation on the contrary side, and asked why they should be prohibited from writing their opinions in France without the permission of Ministers ? The Journals, he declared, ought to - be free. The Sitting rose at half-past four o'clock, to meet again at one o'clock on Sunday. All the speeches except that of M. Dumolard, were ordered to be printed. The audience was very numerous, brilliant, and attentive. At one of the most forcible passages in M Durnolard's speech, shouts were heard from every part of the Very indecent in such a Assembly,• and strictly forbidden to persons in the tribunes.

The Sittings opened at 1 o'clock, anclsome pre liminary business was gone through, among which was' the presentation of a Petition from a number of Colonists of St. Domingo, relative to the state of that Island. 'The Abbe Montesquiou entered the Hall at the moment that M. Fleuri (the first of the persons Whose names were inscribed to speak on the Re port respecting the Liberty of the Press) addressed the Assembly. M. Fleuri spoke at considerable length against the Report. After'complimenting M. Raynouard, he proceeded to shew that men made many sacri fices of their original freedom, in order to enjoy the greater advantages deriVed from the social compact. He considered the censorship on the press as a proper curb on its licentiousness, and not incongeniak: With the principles of their legis lation. It wv their duty to arrest the poignant of the assassin, or the torch of the incendiary, who would carry desolation into the bosom of families. He contended further, that the law proposed was compatible with the spi rit and letter of the Constitutional Charter, and entering into a verbal criticism upon the words " reprirner " (repress), and " punir (punish), quoted Montesquiou, to shew that the sense of the Charter was not violated in the manner assum ed by the Report. M. Fleuri then dwelt on the hardship to which good men were exposed, if not protected, from the malignity of the Press. Why should they be forced to plead against these wrongs, to lose their time; and after all obtain no complete redresS? They might, indeed, gain their cause, and at the same time lose their honour. He observed, that very few pamphlets, published within the last 25 years, merited to be preserved, and was against the idea of exposing a new Go vernment to a species of hostility which was not always confined to the pen. [His succeeding re marks arc not of sufficient interest to require translation]. He asked, towards the conclu sion, who could ensure the calm of the pre .sent hour for ten years, two years, six. months You take (said be) precautions against despotism ; take them also against anar chy ? A terrible responsibility rests on the Cham ber if it rejects the project of the law ; it must answer it to the King, the nation, and to poste rity. It is said, that the liberty of the press makes the truth known to the people and to Kings ; b u t what need was there to instruct the people in their rights—( Violent murmurs.)—Petitions, the constitutional means, were they not preferable to pamphlets ? M. Fleuri then - enlarged upon the nature of the Censorship, which he preferred, and proposed to have the Censors selected from the class of Judges who would be competent to pronounce upon the matter, if brought before their tribunal. Thus defamatory libels would be stopped, and honest works see the day. Clan destine publication would not do so much mis chief. The advocates for the liberty of the Press cited the Engli,h. The rest of Europe might be mentioned on the other side against this instance of its admission. There, a comparison upon food, which did not suit all stomachs, was enough. to excite discontent. There is also a great differ ence between the English and us. We have not among us that national spirit which .charac terizes the English ; we, according to him, like our ancestors, can neither endure despotism nor complete liberty ; we have not, like the English, a.profound respect for royalty, and our national spirit has lost its energy. M. Fleur' concluded, by demanding the order of the clay upon-the report, and the adoption of the project of the law, with the amendments he had proposed. Several other Speakers followed, in the order in which their names were enrolled. M. Gallois spoke in favour of the Report.,— " shoulot the liberty of the Press, proscribed by an odious despotism, be established under a tutelary • • and legitimate Gover nment ? To maintain .public tranquillity, the Legislature had only to conform to the general wish. The declaration ofthe 2d May consecrated the liberty of the Press as the basis of our Constitution, and the Chamber can only see with astonishment, mingled with regret, the pro : ject of a law contrary to that charter. The prin- The'Duke de BERRI and his Suite arrived in Town this day. There were two carriages, drawn by six horses each. It will be seen by the following communication from the Coast, that toe Princess of 'WALES has left England. The Morning Chronicle says, that this is a most lovely piece of maternal self-devo tion, for that the Plu has banished her self in order that her Daughter might see the fireworks to-morrow. This was not, how ever, the reason assigned by her Royal Highness, and we question much that T !LIMEY'S scowl will be a bit lightened by it. " The Jason frigate, the Hon. Captain KING, passed Deal yesterday, with the Royal standard flying, having on board the Princess of WALEs.— The wind was at the time strong from the \V.s.W. so that, in all probability, her Royal Highness would be landed on the Continent in the course of this day." We have this day French Papers of the 7th, which contain a meagre report of the Debate on the preceding day in the Chamber of Deputies, relative to the *Liberty of the Press. Nothing of interest or importance appears to have been advanced on either side. The French Newspapers, are far behind the English, in the manner in which their Parliamentary Dis cussions are given to the Public. Instead of the surprizingly accurate and copious reports, which our Morning Papers procure at a very great expence, these seam to be mere out lines, and to be invalidated by being mixed up with the opinions of the Editors of the Papers. Such institutions are, however, • only young as yet ill Paris, and, we trust, our Co-labourers on the. other side of the Channel will speedily see that the preferable mode is to record what the speakers say-in the proper place, and if they desire to offer any observations on the arguments so delivered, take an opportunity of doing it in a separate article. The contents of a Dutch Mail will be found in a preceding column. The Prince of ORANGE is highly spoke❑ of in an article from Brussels. . It. is only in the English Opposition Papers that we shall'still hear of the devotio❑ of every people to the French Government. The Islands in Passamaguoddy Bay, in the Bay of Fundy, were not originally American Islands but British Islands, the possesson of which has been usurped by the Citizens of the United States. Their re-occupation by his Majesty's Troops, and retention by this Country, will be attended with the greatest advantages to the Trade, Ilsheries, and Navigation of New Brunswick. We hope, therefore; it is not the intention of Government to stop here, but that they will proceed to tike c possession of Vinobscot ; by go the. natural, defined, and perm n a nent ° between British North America a nd States, which we have, the in preceding numbers 111 SO strenuously recommended. a?' ehave this day an account of 51% 511 ' Il e at tf~ Of the Leward Islands Fleet having arrived Out-portS ; but the convoy has not yet been ei ,i ve of; though they must be very nea r, as tile Vincent And the Serern, two of the fleet' Prt frhe at Bristol, parted coihpany on the 4th o t * convOy, it is known, experienced tremendulls titer.
