Section 4. The payment of the annual rentes of 8,400,000 florins shall take place half-yearly, either at Brussels or Antwerp, in ready money, without any deduc tion whatever. Section. 5. On the creation of the said sum of annual rentes of 8,400,000 florins of the Netherlands, Belgium shall be discharged with regard to Holland, from all obli gation with reference to the public debts of the kingdom of the Netherlands.

Brightwen And Co., brewers, Coirgethait ~,,,,,,,,,, m ~,,,,,,, tl • • , sitsV9ll' ) 011TO; . a Ssrualmi, lys.lfla nesday ukarning I metttioOrfleat shells and shot were pouring into the town, and tlx - .4y - con= tinned .0 for about three hour. 21 women st.,r4 - AVdreiT were killed and wounded, ant considerable damage elite to several houses; amongst others that of the Consul v,ss struck, and this b e ing more than his third warning, h e would do well to remove. Where to go, in creler to 1,, out of range, is now the difficulty, as the enemy are erect ing a mortar-battery in (rent of tile San Bras and Monte' Pedral batteries, whi c h will ena ble them to cross the i r fires from the north lines and Villa Nova. Most of t' English merchants had quintas or took them towards the lines and batteries as the safest portion of the town ; lint now, if Miguel can find ammunition, all their precantionsi will be rendered unavailing. The ships in the river, too, are daily becoming less numerous, and did they even re. main, the chance of their escaping shot-free is of so pre carious a description that they cannot afford a secute asylum. Nothing can give clearer proof of this than an occurrence which took place yesterday, and which may pot an end to that state of peace and neutrality which we thought attained by the quiet anchorage of the King's ships under the Convent of St. Antonio. The Lord of the isles steam-boat, last from Brest, with near 100 tro , pe and 120 barrels of gunpowder. broke the hlockr!e vest r. day, tinder the ensign and pennant of a King's ahi a . Wonderful to say, not a stint was fired at }:er front tita Sampaio battery, owing to her bearing the pent-iot, ant' to Miguel's people being in a state of dubitation and terror on account of the affair of the Raven. She came up the river, and not a man was visible on her &el until she rounded the point, and was out of ranee of the battery. when at once she appeared a dense mass of men, cheered lustily at the success of their commander's strata gem. He, by-the-by, was very particularly drunk ; suppose made so for the nonce to give him daringsenoneli to pass the battery, one shot or shell from which might have blown him and his whole crew into the air. The vessel was, I understand, taken charge of by the Lieutenant of the Don Pedro frigate, now off the bar. The momei t the steamer was seen with the pennant by the man-of-war, she was boarded by Captain Belcher, of the _Etna, who, in accordance with the King's instructions and the Act of Parliament, seized the pennant, the wearing of which sub. jeers the master or owners to a penalty of 5001. I did think the Consul's office difficult enough, but there is roar still more harassing here—that of the commander of the s uadron, who had no less than four official messages the same dey,—two from Don Pedro, to know why he de tained the steamer, which did not at all occur, Captain Belcher not allowing any communication with her durinta the 10 minutes it took to have his commanding officer i e orders being so interpreted, and two other messages flail the south side, from General Santa M rata, complaining of the deception practised, and the breach of promised nen trality, as well as requiring Captain Glascock to send the vessel out of the river. The first charge (that of Dead Pedro) was ridiculous, as every passenger, except the ragged recruite, whom they were ashamed to exhibit hy daylight, with all baggage, Sce., was landed in less than half an hour. The other, from Santa Martha, was answer,d by his being toll that a British Captain could not order the vessel out, but that no offence bad been committed against the laws of England, by her wearing the pennant, which was seized to be sent home, in order that the penalty might be enforced. The magnitude of the sum, 5001., seemed perfectly to satisfy them, and they were, I hear, quite content with the explanation. 'filet the Lord of the Isles had a lucky escape is manifest front the fate that attended three vessels—two brigs and a schooner—which followed his example and endeavonreit to cross the bar. One of them, a French brig, front Havre, with flour, crossed the bar and came a good way up, but was so riddled by shot that her colours were struck and her crew abandoned her. There is scantly a hand's breadth of her that is not pierced by a bullet, and she seas fast sinking when I saw her last. The other two vess e ls, one English, the other one of Don Pedro's, from Terceira, were sunk by the battery upon the bar, are total wrecks, and must go to pieces with the first gale of wind. 1 was at first afraid that the proceedings of the Lord of the Isles would have brought a positive order for all slips to quit the river or else— ; but I now hope the affair will pass over quietly until she goes out, when I suppose they will pepper her; she may get out at night, but this is a dangen ous experiment, as Don Pedro's three vessels all got aground and were hit by the battery, but did not sot - re:- much damage. Last night and this morning we have hail another furious bombardment, but, I am happy to say, without doing any very serious mi-chief. It was beautiful but awful to see half-a-dozen shells in the air at the s ame time, and to mark their direction with terror when they went near the houses of friends or acquaintances. Cap tain Bousfield, of the British brigade, wounded on the 19th, is dead. Others will, I fea:, speedily follow hint, as the English Hospital is very unhealthy, there being hotly scarlet and typhus fever now in it. Fresh provisions dear as usual—beef 14 to 15 vintems per pound, when to fie had at all. Of rice and salt provisians there is abundance. SUNDAY MORNING, Dec'. 9, We have been all quiet since 9 o'clock yesterday morn ing. The Pantaloon is off the bar, and I have not a mo ment to spare. The last report here is that Don Aliguel has miirtlereol his sister, the Princess Label. The Pike with the packet, arrive.) yes'erday, and t IT. mourn are afloat that Donna Maria is acknowledged by. England and France. WEDNESDAY, DEC. 5. Since Saturday night, until this morning, we have been in a state of almost awful repose and quiet ; scarcely a gun fired, and apparently no preparation for active hostility. Our information hero, however, tells us how deceitful are appearances, and we are promised a more severe bombardment, with probably another general attack. This was announced to us for yesterday, with the addition that Santa Martha had 4,000 scaling-lad,fers prepared, and that a desperate effort would be made. As usual in all promises of this kind made here, there was no performance, although our troops were under arms the whole night, and at day-break the enemy were discovered in three columns, which merely deployed into line and returned to their quarters. I must say, for myself, that I had not, and have not, an idea of the enemy again attempt ing the lines, but I do expect they will make an effort to get possession of the Castle of the Foz. On this night week, while the barbarians were in pos session of the village of St. John, and the light house near it, they destroyed the lanterns and reflac tors, so that the place is now useless as a lighthouse. The vandalism of this conduct is abominable and un heard-of among civilized nations, although I must admit that the lighthouse- has been no great loss, nor w there ever a grosser imposition than the tax imposed fur making darkness visible as was the case with respect to this misnamed building. Don Miguel has at length ar rived at head-quarters; he passed through Villa Nova no Monday, and is, I hear, now at St. Cosme, about a leaenc from the town. If he does not force an attack, I do not think his General will advise it. They are playing a surer game, by straitening the town for provisions, Rae. Fresh beef is now 12 vintems the pound (Is. 2d. Eng lish, the peace-price being about 2i-d.), and a proclama tion was spoken of to prevent its consumption or use, save for the hospitals and the army. This and the shells, without hazarding the troops, will, I suppose, be con tinued. The report now is, that they have got up fur naces at each of the batteries, to throw in red-hot shot. This would be useless against a town built like Oporsit, every house of which is almost a fortress, from its massive granite walls ; and this is the reason of the comparatively little mischief caused by the fire which has been upon tia 90 long. Half London would have been demolished by it, but unless, as has latterly been the case, the shells fill directly upon the roofs of the houses, little mischief ia done. They have, I am sorry to say, amended their error in this respect, and consequently done considerable damage. With respect to the fire upon the ships the day then came to their new anchorage, it proceeded from some ig norant troops lately come from the interior of the country, and Santa Martha professes an indignation at the outrage ta g hti u h a e r ) t , er w o oi f i e i equal to that expressed by Captain Glaseeck, who, lam given to understand, spoke to him in the old style —a Ia Blake. The parties are to be tried, and the result com municated. In the case of the Raven, too, all the per sons in the battery offer to make oath that they never fired at her after she put about: whether this be true 1 know not, but at all events the difference of oi le )i d n si i ip o ta n ieoes h f river, from St. Antonio's con ti v tasl e yul n eisio t cpno d e been productive of one good result—that the banks of the "no declaring a f larf)nroi and gone to Vigo, has published an mile, d meeting yesterday Admiralare s a l t r p th e r a i e u e s , , both wlio p is arties having agreed not tcs tire, order, strongly blaming the conduct of his people for not t ht amongst o rendering nmg spt import rt the assistance f British, provisions not stir unless the promises made to them were fulfilied. The French, I am glad to say, were not the men three months. There was another who bayoneted Aliguel's troops after laying down their t one the abrae arms; the honour, such as it is, belongs exclusively to the Portuguese. Some men have landed from England, the most miserable scarecrows that were ever seen, and there are several vessels off. Ammunition has I een rather scarce here, but now we have hstl plenty of powder 'third. All the iron in Villa Nova has been entbargopci 17 t
