His 'loyal Highness Prince Frederick set out for the army yes terday afternoon. On the 27th there was a grand review of the first divi sion of the army on the Heath of Ryen. After this re his Royal Highness the Prince Field-Marshal went to the camp at Derschot, where the reserve has been suc ceeded by the third division. The accounts from the citadel of Antwerp say, that from the 20th to the 27th inst., there had been no new cases of cholera, and that the three soldiers of the garrison are now quite recovered. On account of the appearance of the cholera in our q "unt rYs the fair is not to be held thi s y ear , a t Gond a ar.wolle, Alkmaar, Hoorn, and other places, besides Rot terdam.

Royal CARLSRUIIE, JULY 22.—Last night, at 11 o'clock, her Highness th e D owager M argrav i ne Amelia Frederi ca' of Baden, di e d a t h er country seat at Bruchsal, after a short illness.

All these evere trials she bore with resignation, and found consola tion in the affection of her surviving daughters, the Queen Dowager of Bavaria and the Grand Duchess of Hesse, of her numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren, and in the veneration and love of all the good peopl e of "laden, which was unequivocally expressed upon all oc saAions.

LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2, 1832. The long expected death of the Duke o: REICUSTADT has at length taken place. Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, all is vanity and vexation of spirit. And the Preacher is right. The decease of this young Prince is the thou sandth illustration of his truism. Yet who would have expected such an end from such a begin ning ? It is scarcely two and twenty years ago, since the acclamations of all France were loud and enthusiastic at his birth ; since his father was in the zenith of his glory, holding Europe, as his vassal ; and his mother, herself the descendant of a long line of Kings, sate on the proudest throne that hero's bride ever yet graced. In those days the power of NAPOLEON seemed fixed as adamant ; Austria and Prussia were at his feet; Russia was it; alliance with him ; England, zealous, but incompetent to make head against him. What a change since then ! The con queror of Europe, after a long, hopeless exile,. sleeps on a barren rock far away from France ' his illustrious bride has dwindled into the ruler of some half dozen petty Italian towns ; and his son—the young Astyanax of his hopes on whom all his proud thoughts reposed as on a rock, who was to shake Europe with his name, and hand down the Napoleon dynasty unimpaired in grandeur to after ages—has just closed a brief, lethargic and inglorious career, in silence and mystery. Truly, glory is but a dream, the most empty and unsubstantial of all dreams. It is the palace built up on the sand, which the first wave washes away. The son of that man w h o , lik e another Sesostris, bound Princes to his iron car, whose word was law, whose frown annihilation, lived an exile, and has died a captive. The commonest freedom which the commonest peasant in Austria en- joys, was denied to him. No one ever sass him, no one knew aught about him, no one has any anecdotes to relate of him. His habits, his temper, his turn of thought—nay, his very personal appearance, were unknown to all but the chosen few who had access to him. Did he ever talk of his father—did he ever sigh for France—did he ever dream of glory ? Was he ignorant —was he clever—was he brave—was he timid ? Who shall say ? His whole existence was a mystery; and all that can be safely said of hint is, that he was born, breathed, and passed away. What a world of reflection is here The peasant's son lives on from youth to age, enjoying comparative freedom and independence, coming here and going there, just as he listeth the son of Europe's Conqueror—his every ac tion watched, his every word scrupulously weighed and sifted—closes, in the morning of his days, ere yet his mind is in the leaf, a life of the most abject, the most rigid, the most humili ating captivity. Such is the tax which, in some shape or other, either in its own person, or in that of its dearest connections, ambition never fails to pay. In the House of Commons last night Lord AL THORP moved the usual Parliamentary Grant to the SPEAKER on the occasion of his resigning office. His Lordship observed, that the proposition which he had to submit to the Committee with respect to Mr. MANNERS SUTTON, was, that he should receive 4,0001. a year, subject 'to the condition that one half should be deducted in the event of his accepting offic e ; and that 3,0001. a-year should be given to his son, commencing from the Speaker's decease, subject also to the condition that it should cease altogether upon his coming into the office of Registrar of Wills, of which he has the reversion. After some unimportant discussion, Lord ALTHORP'S motion was agreed to. The Brussels Papers, received this morning, are more pacific than usual. The King of the BELGIANS is reported to have expressed him self as believing that matters might soon be amicably settled, but that the time for concession had passed—that Belgium had made' all the sacrifices she could make—and that she would appeal to God and the Army. Much was ex pected from the arrival of a British messenger from the Conference. We shall see BRUSSELS, JULY 30.—Sir Robert Adair expects to-day important despatches from London, which are to be brought by an extraordinary courier, his courier, who came yesterday, having given him notice to this effect. M. Chevalier de Brouckere and General Niellow have ar rived at Brussels on their return from Paris. The Independant says, " The following is an extract of a letter from Venloo The Prussians are not above a league from our town, with artillery. The Dutch, on the contrary, are retiring, and have only a detachment of 300 infantry and twelve cuirassiers, three leagues from Venloo. I think, that in case of an attack by the Belgians, the Prussians are at hand to hinder a movement towards Nimeguen, which might be very easily executed. I am led to this opinion by the departure of the Dutch troops, who would never abandon so important a post if they were not certain that no harm would happen to them in conse quence.'" A letter from Luxemburg of July 20 says :—" It is af firmed that the tribunal of this city is going to prosecute the public functionaries, who, under the reign of King William, withdrew, with the archives, to join the Bel gians. If this report should prove true, M. Thorn would be prosecuted with the rest, and consequently very far from receiving his liberty." The Journal of Luxemburg contains a Royal decree, prohibiting the wearing of foreign cockades or badges, as well as assemblages of the people for political purposes in the Grand Duchy. This decree is dated, the Hague, July 19. Baussims, JULY 31.—The Courier Beige, which thinks all means good to calumniate the Government, an nounced yesterday, that a Council of Ministers had been yesterday held at the Palace, at which Messrs. De Tulle nay, Latour Maubourg, and Adair were present. The public, it adds, will judge what kind of a majority it is intended to compose in the Council with such elements. To an assertion so absurd and impudent, we can only an swer by the most positive declaration that it is false. The envoys of France and England have never on any occasion entered the Council. As for the majority of which the Courier speaks, it is absolutely useless to compose it, since there is a unanimity of views among all the members of the Cabinet.—Moniteur Beige. The King arrived at Liege on Saturday, at four o'clock, where be met his brother the reigning Duke of Saxe Co burg, who is accompanied by his two sons, their tutor, and one aide-de-camp. The city of Liege presents a scene of unusual anima tion ; it is said a force of 30,000 strangers have arrived there. The King has been engaged in receiving the public authorities, in visiting the citadel, fortifications, and the public institutions, in reviewing the troops, &c. It is certain that his Majesty said, in the presence of several persons, that he retained the hope that the affairs of Belgium might be soon terminated in a pacific manner; but he added, " the time for concession is passed. Bel gium has made all the sacrifices that it can make, and if more are required, we will appeal to God and to the army." The Burgomaster replied to the King, that the Liegeois had preserved all their energy, and that in the moment of danger they would show it. His Majesty afterwards said he had every reason to con gratulate himself on the feelings of the nation ; and for the army, the Belgian soldiers were animated with the best spirit, and far from requiring to have their ardour stimulated, it was necessary to moderate it. The King (says another journal) has repeated to several persons that he still hoped that the question of our foreign relations would he decided in a pacific manner. Letter from the Colonel commanding the four Legions of the Civic Guard of Brussels, to the Editor of the Journal de la Belgique:— " Brussels, July 30, 1832. SIR,-Having read in your Journal that an Address to the King, petitioning his Majesty to convoke the Cham- bers, was in circulation among the Civic Guard of Brus sels, I think it my duty to contradict this report, because the general opinion of the members of the Civic Guard is, that they ought not to meddle as a body in political affairs. Be pleased, Sir, for the sake of truth to insert this in your nest number, and accept, &c. " Count P. V. D. STEGEN, DeputCo." The King is expected at Brussels this evening, from Liege and Namur, and Thursday will go to Alost to re view the corps of reserve under General Niellon.—Brus ads Papers, August I. The German Papers state that MEIIENIET ALI is to be crowned King of Egypt by the Scherilf of MECCA, in his quality of Prince of the Religion of Mahomet : LEGHORN, JULY' 19.—Recent accounts from Alexan dria to June 9 are more and more favourable for mer chants. All the chiefs of the mountain tribes of Lebanon have now declared for him ; only a few days before our letters came away, the son of one of the most powerful of those chiefs, who had hitherto remained faithful to the Porte, had arrived atAlexandria, having been sent thither by his father as a hostage to Mehemet Ali. The Sheriff of Mecca, who has also declared for Mehemet Ali, was expec ted at Alexandria ; it was reported among the people that in his quality of Prince of the religion of I%lahomet, he would revoke the anathema pronounced by the Sultan against Mehemet Ali, and then crown the Pacha as King of Egypt. A letter gives the following statement of Mehemet Ali's forces in Syria. The army consists in all of 80,000 men, (q gu u la e r ry,)of cavalry, which a 3 and 23,000 23 6 : 0 00 0 a 00 irregular regular fai linfantry,infantry, 8,000 chiefly reshop keepers of the people of the Druses; 7,000 irregular Be douin cavalry, and 4,000 regular artillery. The Egyp tian fleet, of three sail of the line, seven frigates, and a considerable number of smaller vessels, was shortly to sail to the coast of Rhodes. At Acre a list of the stores in the fortress was being made out; they are said to be of great value. Among other things are mentioned 1,700 cannon and 25,000 cwt. of copper. —Allgemeine Zeituny, July 26. Such scenes as that of which an account is given in the I larlborough•street report, are disgraceful to the country, and call for a much more severe punishment than that awarded by the Magistrate. Some Irish labourers, it ap peared, are guilty of indecent conduct to a woman and her daughter, and on being re pulsed, wreak their vengeance on the old woman, by dragging her along the street ; a person of the name of EVANS rescues her from such brutality, and worsts the Irishman in the affray ; and for this conduct EVANS and all the English on the spot are attacked by a party of Irish, and, according to the report, escaped death only by the interfe rence of the military. Yet for such inhuman conduct they are fined only 5/. ! What an ab surdity in the law —transport a man for life for stealing a lamb, and fine another only Si. for such an outrage ! ----- NAPOLEON IS said to have expressed great admiration of the celebrated needleworks of Miss Lwwoon. Lord, then Mr. PLuNKET, hearing of this, immediately rejoined " no wonder that the Emperor delights to see the English worsted." The tavern expenses of the different Boards of Sewers are said to exceed those of all other public bodies, save and except that renowned Body Which feasts by charter.

Young NAPOLEON, who died on the 22d ult., was born on the 20th March, 1811, and consequently was in his 22d year at the time of his death. Shortly after his birth he was created by his father King of ROME. He was deified by the French, and regarded as the heir of the " Man of the Age," and the future Sovereign, not only of France and Italy, but of nearly the whole of continental Europe. His father was then in the very zenith of his power, and naturally felt great joy at the birth of a son, to whom he might transmit his titles and vast dominions, and who should perpetuate his family among the Sovereigns of Europe. But two years more, and his army, which constituted his chief power, was destroyed in Russia—two years more he fought his last battle at Waterloo—six years after he died an exile and prisoner on the barren island of St. Helena ; and now, after a lapse of only 21 years, his only son, the delight of the French people, and who was to preserve his name, and carry still farther the greatness of the French arms, dies of a lingering disease, bereft of all power, and almost unnoticed by the powerful nation who were to form his vast empire. His death, in the present state of European affairs, may be regarded as hardly of the least importance. His claims to the throne of the BOURBONS could have been dangerous to that family only in case of their failing to govern according to the gene ral will oldie nation ; and his death, if they go vern otherwise, will not render them more secure. From all accounts, he appears to have had none of the great qualities of his father, and has afforded only another instance of the freaks and sports of Nature, which so frequently humbles the great by giving them heirs hardly above mediocrity, and not unfrequently approach ing to imbecility.

'We have no further arrivals front Oporto or Lisbon later than those already published. By the French mail this morning the accounts from Frankfort state, that a report prevailed there that the Austrian Government had discovered, through their diplo matic agents, that there was a private understanding between Prussia and Russia to take away the preponde rance she had in Germany, and that Prussia wanted to have the Presidency of the German Diet. A letter from Trieste says—" That a deputation was expected there from Greece, going to Munich to thank the King of Bavaria for the benevolence and assistance he has given to the Greeks, and at the same time they are to address Prince Otho on the event of his taking the throne of Greece." According to letters received from Corfu, it appears that Mehemet Ali is much indisposed, and the Egyptian is said to lie making great progress in Syria since the fall of St. Jean d'Acre. The grand Turkish army was ap proaching by forced marches, and important events are expected to take place in a short time. They write from Madrid, that after the affairs of Por tugal are terminated, the Spanish army is to proceed to wards the Pyrenees, under the command of Count Espagne, where the Duke Angoulenie is to join them to favour an insurrection in the South of France.

SUDDEN applied that three demurrers in the case of Walburn and Ingilby might stand appointed for bearing on Tuesday next. The Loan CHANCELLOR did not see how he could make any such appointment, otherwise it would be neces sary for him to break through his intention of not sitting beyond the 10th, for the purpose of getting rid of the business that was already appointed to be heard. There were a good many cause petitions, some of which he un derstood were heavy, and would take considerable time. He bad no objection to allow Walburn v. Ingilby to be put at the bottom of the cause petition paper, and if it were necessary for the purpose of hearing it, and agreeable to the bar, he might sit on Saturday the 11th. Sir E. SUGDEN would mention that to his clients, but he would nut undertake himself to remain in town beyond the 10th. The LORD CHANCELLOR said it was about six week 9 ago since he first announced that he would not sit later than the 10th of August, and he certainly had no desire now to break through that determination.

HREASLY. This is the case which has excited so great an interest in this county, both from the novelty of the proceeding by Writ of Right, and from the immense property involved in the question, amounting, it is understood, to more than 100,0001. To try it a special jury is required, composed of sixteen gentlemen, in whom must be included the four knights. The proceedings were commenced at three o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, when Mr. CAMPBELL, With whom was Mr. RICHAReS opened the case for the plaintiff, but as the mita probandi rested with the defendant, to show by what right he re tained the property, _ . Mr. JERVIS, with whom was Mr. JUSTICE, appeared for the defence. The Court was occupied until half-past seven o'clock in reading the documents of the defendant, when, Mr. Justice BOSANQUET intimated that, from fatigue, he should be obliged to adjourn the hearing until Wed nesday morning early. This morning, Wednesday, at eight o'clock, the hearing of the cue was resumed, and consisted in the reading over of further documents by the defendant to prove his title. The case is expected to last until midnight, and of the ar guments we shall then be enabled to give the particulars, which will be interesting. Mr. BARON GURNEY took special jury causes yesterday afternoon and this morning. Three others started—three drawn. EAST LOTHIAN YEOMANRY RACES. The Lord Lieutenant's Purse of 10 sovs. Two mile heats.

AMATEUR MAT CHjiar FIFTY POUNDS: On Tuesday afternoon a scullers' wager took place from Westminster to Putney with the tide, for 501., between Messrs. Dansey and Foster, gentlemen amateurs. The match bad been for some time the topic of conversation among the amateurs, and both gentlemen had been in active training for several days previous to the match. The parties having taken their stations, they were started about six o'clock. They had proceeded but a short dis tance before some fouling took place, which ended in Mr. Dansey's placing bis opponent alongside a barge, and then going in advance. lie maintained the lead the entire dis tance, although at times severely pressed by Mr. Foster. A vast number of gentlemen accompanied the match. DOGGETT'S COAT AND BADGE. This annual match took place yesterday, and, as in the preceding seasons, in the midst of a heavy shower of rain. It was the 114th contest for the livery and badge be queathed by Mr. T. Doggett, deceased, famous as a come dian, in commemoration of the happy accession of the family of his present Majesty to the throne of Great Bri tain. Out of nearly 200 young watertnen who were can didates for competition, the following became entitled to row for the prizes, the second and third of the respective amounts of 4,7, 6, and 2, 12, 6, being the gifts of the late Sir W. Jolliffe :—Robert Waight, I3ankside ; W. Jackson, Richmond ; J. W. Carter, Hermitage ; C. l3rockwell, Custom-house ; J. T. Weston, Chelsea ; T. Weed, jun. Bsnkside. Ths distance rowed was from Swan to Swan, against tide. About half-past six they were started. Waight took the lead, and maintained it the entire distance; Jackson was second up to Vauxhall, when Carter went by him, and came in a short distance in the rear of the leading man. Jackson was, however, third, and the others brought up the rear rather straglingly. GRAND SAILING 3IATCH. On Tuesday, the British Yacht Club gave a very hand- some silver cup and cover, which was competed for by the following six yachts, belonging to members of the club:— Names. Tons. Owners. Flags. 8ri11iant....... 8 Lord H. Cholinondeley White and Blue. Daphne 7 J. Nelson, Esq. White and a Dagger. Leah 6 H. Mason, Esq. White. Mab 4 Hon. W. L. de Roos Green. Vestris S J. Weston, Esq. Red, Yellow Cross. Water-witch 8 J. Unwin, Esq. White, Red Cross. The conditions of the match were, to start from Black. friars'-bridge, up to Wandsworth Meadows, and back to Westminster-bridge. The yachts took their stations before four o'clock, and before five the commodore gave the signal, when up sails, and off they went for Wandsworth. They did not long keep abreast, for in going through Waterloo-bridge, the Brilliant, Water-witch, and Mab, gained ground a little, and as they proceeded upwards, the two former vessels continued to leave their antagonists more behind, who changed situations among themselves on the way to Wandsworth. When close to the boat off Wandsworth meadows, the Brilliant apparemly had the advantage; but by a dexterous and well-timed manoeuvre on the part of the Water-witch, by pulling in her very long bowsprit with great force, which gave her a momentary additional impetus, she rounded the boat before the Brilliant, and kept her vantage ground all the way down to Wesminster bridge, winning the silver cup and cover. The Brilliant kept close to the Water-witch, and came in second ; Mal), third--leaving the others considerably behind. This is the second silver cup and cover won this season by the Water-witch. The writer of the North Devon Advertiser, in describing the beauties of Linton and the Valley of Rocks, says that " the mighty and pollulate palm" has clad the scenery in " tofaclous apparel" and "ambrosial costume." Whatever may be the result of the endless protocolling upon the affairs of Holland and Belgium, it is quite clear that there will have been no sparing of "Dutch quills" upon the occasion. PORTUGAL. From the Chronica Constitucional do Porto, No. 5, dated the ISth of July, 1832.) (OFFICIAL.) SIRE-The wine-farmers of the three Northern pro. vinces of this kingdom suffer the greatest hindrance to their industry, and the greatest intrenchment on their rights of property, from the privilege granted to the Company of Vineyards of the Upper Douro, of exclusively selling the wines of this country in the shops of the city of Oporto, and also of almost exclusively distilling spirits. Such a privilege, which becomes extinct by the general meaning of the charter, is in its nature destructive of in dustry and of the increase of profit which would accrue to the growers from a snore extended consumption and ex_ portation of their produce, and destroy at the same tim e the natural price of commodities, which would be uncom_ monly cheap were it not for the intervention of an arti. ficial price, which operates against all in favour of a few and has the inconvenience of contributions without any advantage to the public revenue. The Government, acting in the spirit of general benefi cence which your Imperial Majesty has communicated to it, has reduced all the export duties to one per cent. which must cover all expenses, so that it may be said that all the export duties have ceased in Portugal, and the northern provinces of the kingdom enjoy this benefit still more than the others, on account of their great production of wines. But there must be contributions and a public revenue. The wine and brandy paid contributions, partly on ex portation and partly on consumption, which were exorbi tant and ill calculated; and the Government of your Im perial Majesty, by repealing the former and modifying the latter, is unable to suffer so great a loss as that arising from the reduction above-mentioned. Brandy paid hitherto the exorbitant duty of twenty milrees the pipe; after the decree of the 20th April of this year it only pays one per cent. export duty ; and the brandy employed for preparing the wine pays one per cent., and the wine of consumption, which also used to pay twenty milrees, is reduced to 12,300 rees. The wine de rarno, which paid nearly 6,000 rees, now pays 6,300 reel ; and the tart wine, which was not admitted, pays one-half, or 3,150 rees; so that the "almude" (a mea sure) of brandy is sold for 600 rees; the " almude" of the wine de ramo, or the factor's shipping Port wine, con sumed in Oporto, 300 rees; and the " almude" of sourish (tart) wide 150 rees. The duty on all wine and brandy consumed in Lisbon is 400 rees per " almude," and Oporto is, as it ought to he, on account of its inferior population, much more fa voured considering the greater dimensions of the measure; end when brandy pays 600 roes, this great irnpoit, in pro portion to that of Lisbon, takes place in a ratio com pounded of that difference of measure and of the good quality of the article, as well as of the restricted facility which must be applied to the consumption of that beverage in a country such as Oporto, which has excellent wine. Morals and public health demand that the consumption of brandy should be limited. On the other hand, the Company had sometimes lost that violent monopoly, which it again obtained from the usurp ing Government; but as it cannot be charged on the share holders that their capital is invested in wines de rally), and i❑ brandy for consumption, as well as exclusively for the preparation of the wines, the remainder of the year must be conceded to the Company to enable them to sell the wines and brandy ; and this was practised when on other occasions that monopoly was taken from them. For these reasons I propose to your Imperial Majesty the following decree : THE MINISTER AND SECRETARY 01 , STATE FOR. THE AFFAIRS OF FINANCE. Porto, July 14, 1832. DECREE. " Taking into consideration the report of the Minister and Secretary of State for the Affairs of Finance, I think proper to decree, in the name of the Queen, as follows : " The exclusive privilege conceded to the Company for the culture of the vineyards of the Upper Douro, of selling wine and brandy to the inhabitants of the city of Porto, and of exclusively distilling brandy, is abolished ; and the inhabitants of the three northern provinces of the kingdom shall have the permission, enjoyed by those of the others, of distilling brandy, and of exporting and selling it wherever and to whomsoever they think proper ; and so, likewise, shall Portuguese citizens, of every part of the kingdom, have the permission of causing their wines to be carried to Oporto, and of selling them for consumption to its inhabitants. " Brandy or spirituous liquor entering the city of Oporto for the consumptio n o f t h e i n h a bi tants shall pay 600 rees the almude duty; wine of every quality, except ing tart wine, shall pay 300 rees the almude, and tart wine shall pay 150 rees the almude. All these duties shall be received by the Receiver-General, without any intervention of the Company. " The Receiver-General, making his calculation by what was received by the persons and corporations that used to receive part of the duties imposed on the wine and brandy consumed in the city of Oporto, and taking for the basis of his calculation the receipts of those persons and corpo rations in the years 1829, 1830, 1831, and 1832, shall deliver the amount ( - 4 the average to these persons and cor. porations, paying, in accordance to the law which regu_ laces the finances, one-fourth of the annual sum at the end of every quarter. " Foreign brandy and wine hitherto prohibited shall not be sold until the Custom-houses shall be properly regu lated, and the brandy of Brazil shall pay two per cent. when re-exported, and the same duties paid by that of the kingdom when it is intended for consumption. " The present decree shall be carried into execution from the Ist of January, 1833, forward, the remaining months of 1832 being destined to favour the eonsuinption of the Wine de ra mo and of the brandy of the Company. " Is repealed every law at variance with the above, in the same manner as if each of these provisions bad been expressly repealed. " Let the Minister and Secretary of State for the Attars of Finance understand it so, and cause it to be executed. " DON PEDRO, Duke of M.lganza, 'f JOSE XAVIER 11 10UZINHO DA SILVEIRA.
