PRIVATE. CORRESP()NMNCE. 11atissEt9, TuunsnAy, SRPT. B.—Tht4e are few piaces that hare experienced within the la- - t six months a motccomptete tfAnsition from zloorn apprellension; acid distress, to gaiety, hustle, and prosperity, than Brussels. A conntry,over-run by a hostile army 'bust always stiffer Severely; but • the inhabitants of Flanders complain, that they . suffered from the Prussians the punishment due to the -French for their excesses in. Priusia.— ITpon my arrival 'in .this city, Was, like every caller stranger, anxlbus to see the Perk, of which the inhabitants are so proud, anti the beatity of which has been celebrated by every traveller. The term " Park " naturally leads one to expect mitch larger and less ornamented space of in closed ground than the Park at Brus.:els contains. It is in fact a large garden, beautifully laid -oat, ornamented with statues, and sorrounded by a nmriber of magnificent houses, or rather Palace The English Minister, Lord CLANcAitTv, occu pies:one, and the Duke of WELLINGTON., when lie' Was here, another. The SOVEREIGN PRINCE also lived in one of these Palaces ; but when in fu ture be resides in this part of his dominions, be will occupy the Palace of Lacken, Which is' about three miles from this city. That,alacc formerly belonged to the Austrian Princes who governed the Netherlands. After the Revolution, 'it becime what was called national property, and • was some years ago ordered to be sold. It was purchased for a very small sum by an individual, who was about to pull it down to sell the mate rials, when BUONAPAUTE saw it and purchased it. He caused it to be fitted up in a Very splendid manner, and he gave it to JOSEMNE when .Be was going.to divorce her, but she declined to . accept •it, preferring Malmaison. - BUONAPARTE and the Archduchess MARIA . LOUISA occupied it last year for a short time.- , Their bed-rooms, which were -at the' opposite extremities of the palace, are most splendidly decorated, and two of the state-rooms are really superb ; in the other ap partments there is nothing remarkable. This Palace bears some resemblance to \Vanstead House, bat it is neither so large nor so handsome an edifice. Brussels may be called an open town ; it was forinerly fortified, but. the ramparts now only serve as a delightful promenade for the in habitants. As it made no resistance, so it sus tained no injury from the entrance' of the Allies. I beard some complaints about contributions, but, . upon : inquiry, I do not , believe that they were by any means so heavy 'as those imposed by the French in , conquered countries. Brussels com mands, what is by no means common in Flanders, viz. a 'beautiful and extensive prospect. My next visit was to the Museum, which, like . every other public institution in those parts of 'Flanders and France which I have visited, may . be inspected gratis, both by natives and foreigners; and, if any distinction is made, it is in favoirr of the latter. The Museum is in le Local, du ci-devant Cour, as very extensive, if not a very elegant pile of building ; I mean, not elegant compared with the generality of the public buildings on the Con tinent which I have seen, but it would make a most respectable figure in London. Of the con- . tents of this. Museum, the Pictures are by far the Most valuable; some of them were concealed front the view of the French, while they were here, or , they would, probably, at this moment, deco rate the walls'of the Louvre. lam not ciently a connoisseur in painting to give you a detailed criticism upon the beauties of this collec tion ; but, perhaps, some of your Readers may wish to see a short notice of a few of the most celebrated Pictures in the Brussels Gallery. I should particularly notice the Adoration of the Shepherds, by ANTHONY VANDYKE ; Apollo and Daphne, by CARLO MARATTI; the Elevation of the Cross, by ANTUONY VANDYKE, a• picture of uncommon merit ; a Winter Scene, by JACQULS VAN A aTots ; the Adoration of the Shepherds, by RuBENs ; the Martyrdom of St. Livin, by Ru- BENS; the selection of the subject of this picture is as singular as the execution of it is wonderful ; I kuew not how to describe the impression it made upon me, except expressing myself in apparently contradictory terms, and saying, that it is horribly excellent. The Virgin, St. Je- rome, and Bt. Thomas, by GUIDO RENI ; the PreSentation of our Saviour hi the Temple, by PHILLIP. DE CHAMPAIGNE. A Holy Family, by RAPHAEL SANZIO. Diana Reposing, by MIGNAnD. The. Conversion of St. Bayou, by RUBE NS . Ylagellation of our Saviour, a sketch, by IitTEENF. The Army of Louis XIV. before Tolrnay, by VAN3F,RIIF:IjLI.:N, &C. ete. The Landry I had not . .11 opportunity of seeing, but I was told that it contained a numerous and Tahiable collection of hooks. That part of the Museum which was de- voted to Natural History appeared to be the least deservim of notice, The Thea:re, which I vi- shed in the evening, 1144000 g list of negative qualifications ; it' is not large, it is not comnio- , dious, it is not clean, it is not, nor ever, was,' elegant ; 'but on that night it was crowded by English and Natives, to see John Bull. One half of the audience did not like the house—the other did not understand the play, but both were very loud in their applause. It curious to hear the people of Flanders, and eVen,of France, speak of the Cossack. '• Al- though BUONAYARTE used to 'affect to speak of them as Savages, and the people of France really thought they were little short of . Cannibals, they are now described as possessing many excellent qualities. It is indeed admitted that they enter tained very exalted notions- of the right of the conquerors over the property of the vanquished, and that their modeof transferring it was rather sum mary, yet very few instances are mentioned where they were guilty of deliberate or wanton cruelty. The following Anecdote you may depend up on as correct Gentleman who possesses an elegant house and garden, about four miles from Bruise's, hadtwo Cossack Officers and sixteen men quartered upon him, He endeavoured to spew eve)) , mark of respect and attention to his pests, and hat) every reason to be. satisfied with their conduct. Tire Officers, one of whom spoke French very conducted themselves in the most gentleman like manner; and, the men did not appr . Opriate to themselves any part of his furniture, though they examined every article of it with as Much minute ness as if they were brokerS going to make an ap praisement. It may be necessary to state, that the Oeptleman had removed, or concealed all his plate and lighter moveables, upon the approach of the Allies. ."Otte morning, when he 'was at breakfast with the two Officers, one of them ex pressed a hope that their men conducted them selves properly. The Gentleman replied, that nothing could be more exemplary than their 'con duct.—"So far from doing me any mischief," said he, “" they are rally 'anx:ous,to do me a service ; for example, this very morning they took the pains to water every part of my garden:" The Officer, who spoke French, smiled at this statement, and said he was glad the men behaved well ; but added, I cannot leave you in error about their politeness in Watering your garden. The Cos saeks know very well that the inhabita»ts of the countries, through which they pass, very fru , quemitly bury their property to conceal it from them. and their 'mode of detecting it is as follows : Whenever they suspect that any property, is, buried, they pour writer on the ground where they' suspect the property is hid ; if the water is imme diately absorbed they infer that nothing is buried* in that spot ; if the water rests upon -the surface, they conclude that something is concealed under neath, and they proceed to ascertain the fact with all possible ceierity. Now, if time water had re mained for any time upon the surface in any part of your garden, you would have foUnd that my men would have taken the trouble to turn it up as well as to water it for you ; they did not take so much trouble, I assure you, with a view to ve getable productions.

Paris Papers to the 13th inst. reached town this morning. It appears that several of the Con tinental Sovereigns and their Plenipotentiaries are on the road for Vienna, to attend the opening of the Congress, which gill be proclaimed on the Ist October. The expected • interview. between the Emperor of RUSSIA and the King of l'ausszA, at Topfitz, will not take place, as the former goes to Vienna through Hungary, instead of Bohemia. The restoration of the kingdom of Poland is spoken of with great confidence in an article from Berlin ; and Dantzic, it is said, is to he made a free City. To compensate the King of Pnussr& for the sacrifices which he must make, in order to effect that arrang►emcut, he is to have the King— dom of Saxony annexed to his dominions. The following nre the only articles of any inte rest contained in these Papers : " PARIS, SEPT. 12.;- , -The expedition of the KING to • Martinique and Guadaloupe are quite ready, and there is novi: , no obstacle to prevent merchant vessels from sailing to those two islands. The suspension upon the sailing of merchantmen to the other Colonies will continue till further orders. " The Peace between France and Spain was solemnly proclaimed at Madrid on the first of tliis month. There were public rejoicings , upon' the occasion.' " The Princess of•\VAtns arrived at Strasburgh on the 6th inst. The next day she honoured the Theatre with her presence. It is supposed that her Royal Highness «•ill remain some days in that city. " Yesterday all the regiments of cavalry and infantry forming the garrison of Paris, were re viewed by the Dukes ANGOULEMg and BERRI ; they were commanded by General Count MAIsoN, Several of the Marshals of France were present. " BASLE, SEPT 3.—Marshal KELLR lINIAN (Duke de VALMY) arrived at Iluningen on the 30th Aug. He only stopped two !ours, and then continued his journey to Befort. The Duke de BERRI, and even MoNsteuft, are expected at Htmingen: " Ten thousand Austrian , corning from Savoy are expected to pass by this place. They will traverse Swisseriand on their way to Germany. " STUTGAR D.; SEPT. 6.—Mr. CooKE, Tinder Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in England, •aryived here yesterday with his Suite, on his *ay from Park to Vienna. " VIENNA, SEPT. I . - -The Eniperor arrived here the day before yesterday, at one O'clock, from his tour. He was accompanied by the'Grand Duke of TUSCANY, Doke A NTfinNy of Saxony; and the Archduchess THERESA, his wife. The Empress set out the (lay before yesterday for Tornan ; she will return ota Saturday. it is said, that a portion of the attention of the Congress will-he occupied with the claims of the Queen of ETRURIA to indemnity. lf,the re ports which are in circulation are to be credited, the opening of this illustrious Assembly will be proclaimed in this capital on the Ist of. October. That day is the Anniversary of the raising of the siege of Vienna when besieged by the Turks. a BEnr.iN, AuG. 29.—We are assured that •the King will set out in ten days - for Breslau, where his Majesty proposes to make some stay. He will go from Breslau direct to Vienna, through Bohemia. But it is not likely that he will have an interview with the. Emperor ALEXANDER at Toplitz. as that Monarch will go from Peters_ burgh through \Vilna, Cracow, and Hungary, to Vienna. Letters from St. Petersburgh state, that the Emperor of RUSSIA will set out on the 13th Sept. for Vienna. The Grand Duke CONSTANT' NE Will accompany him. " The report that Dantzic is to he made a free and a Hanseatic Town is revived. We arc as sured that our King has definitively renounced the possession of that part of Pola'nd which he possessed before the Treaty of Tilsit, of which he ought now co take possession. Our King has been induced to consent not to re-occupy and to consent to the re •unicn of the whOle:of ancient Poland. " It is believed that the kingdom of Sa%onv will be united to om _Monarchy as ,an indemnity to the King for Prussian Poland. It is said, that this affair is 'settled between the Allied Powers. It is at least certain, that tjie orders which hare been given, are of a nature to indhee'a belief that the Union of Saxony and Prussia will he 'effected in a few days. •We are assured, that our troops will occupy all Saxony ; that Prince WILLiAm, brother of our KING, will go to Dresden as Vice roy of Saxony ; that the former . Prussian Chan cellor, M. de BEYME, will take the direction of the Civil Affairs ; and that General KLIET will be Military GoVernor of Saxony. Yesterday, at half past four - o'clock the PRINCE REGENT arrived at Carlton-I-Luse. Serene Highness Prince FREDERICK Of ORANGE, accompanied by Baron D'l'voY, arrived at the Bell, in Gloucester City, on Tuesday night, and visited the Cathedral, with whi c h ve nerable pile he appeared much gratified. After a very short stay at that place, his Highness pro ceeded for Worcester. Antwerp is said now to he entirely discrnantled, according to the Treaty. All its proud fortific::- tions, by the help of our Engineers, are now a heap of stones only. Since the peace, 0%000 French prisOners have been released from thiS country. The American prisoners, chiefly seamen, in England, amount to 3,800. BRIGHTON, SEPT. 14.—The Duke of YORK con tinues to reside at the Pavilion, in the most re tired manner. His establishment is simple.— His Royal Highness was abroad early, as usual, this mornig, perambulating the Steyne, and ad. jaeent parts, and afterwards took an airing on horseback on the Downs, attended by Colonels LIPTON and CooKt.—The boxes at the Theatre are numerously engaged for to-night, the French comedians there being the novel attraction.
