BRUSSELS, Nov. 21.—Hitherto we. know no thing wick certainty respecting the dismissal of the Commissary-General of War ; but we regret extremely to have to relate all the tumours which Circulate on that - of his Royal Highness the Here- ditary Prince. The tolloiving are what appear most probable us. Every one knows that his 'Royal High ness is chared - wills the directiou of the IVor Department. Goltz was placed under him with the title :of Commissary-General. It is said, that M:Goltt submitted to the ding a plan concerning the officers on half-pay ; that the result of this plan was, that 42 of those of ficers who were worthy of recommendation from their distinguished services, and who, on that ac count, had been par icularly recommended by his Royal Highness, were placed at the disposition of the Colonial Minister, to be sent to liatavia ; . That the Prince considered this mode of placing them on active service incontistent with the • pt:o. tection and kindness he bad manifested towards •them ; . , That it appeared to him, if he had the supreme direction of the IVar Department, it waf but cam anon decorum. to ask his opinion, and that M. de Goltz hid entirely failed hi that respect. It is said, that in consquence, he has entreated .the King, as a favour, that he .may have no more intercourse with M. de Goltz, byhis Majesty giv• ing a dismissal to one or the other. It is added, that the King desired to see the Prince, to give a verbal explanation upon the sub- S'ect ; but that the latter, fearing he sliould.hesi tate between the dictates of honour and his re spectful affection for his Majesty, entreated that Le would take his request into considerttion, 'and signify his Sovereign will previously. , It is certain. that the King has accepted the re' 'sip - lotion of all the offices held by the Prince his son. AVe are assured, however, that after this, these august persons ha'd an interview at the residence of our beloved Princess, who shares with the house of Nassau the love and th.e respect of the inhabi tants of the kingdom. --(Journal de la Belgique.) The appeal put in by the Duke of Wellington against the judgment of the Court of First In trance, which acquitted M. de Busscher, Editor of The Journal des Deux- Flandro,ot a charge of ca lumny towards his Grace, will ccknie on before the higher Court on the Bth December next. As soon as the season permits, means will be taken to strengthen the military line of defence both on the French frontier and on the Meuse.— The town of Ath is to become a fortress of the first order : the works will cost four millions florins.--(Oracle ) ROME, Nov. B.—The Netherland fleet, under the orders of Admiral Van Braam, is at present in the port of Naples. It has been asserted in some Jour nals that this squadron is to join that of Russia, from Revel, to repress the piracies of the Al gerines ; but this statement is destitute of foun dation. It is, oo the contrary, alleged that the Dey of Algiers manifests the most pacific inten t►otrs. BERLIN, Nov. 15.—Prince Blucher has arrived here from. Latesic, Nov. 12.- - Letters from Russia state, that the Emperor and the Imperial Family will feturn to Petershiogh the-latter end of .the pre sent month. They have given up their intention of psssing the winter at Moscow, on accountof the advanced pregnancy of the Grand Duchess Alex whost: accouchetnent is to take place at Pftersburgh. The Emperor will pass some time at Warsaw towards the close of the winter. MANN elm, Nov. 20.—The approaching Con vocation of the Prussian Council of State has for its object to determine the question a; to the or ganization of Provincial States in the different Provinces of the Monarchy. The , following was yesterday omitted for wan' of room : CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. SITTING OF NOV. 22. M. Laine, Minister of the Interior, ascended the Tribune, and said— " Gentlemen,—At the opening of your last,Ses sion the King announced - to you that he was con tinuing his negociations with the Holy See, and that he entertained a confident hope that a happy termination ‘vottid restore peace to the Church of -FrAtice. The Chambers received this, c.4.llnnitllll - of the King with gratitude. " At the opening of the present Session his Majesty apprised, you of the conclusion of the riegoda!ion, 'Tie added, that ttc be commonicated to you, and that lie 'w6Vildebarge his • - Ministers , at 1.1) - e'safite time, lo•prOose Pit/sect of a Law tO give the legidati4e sanctifin to sgeb dispositions of the new 'Concortat as ale - Sns4ptible of barittottize it the Char ter,, the laws of the kingdoni, (aid he liberties of the Galilean Church. :rills itnutirtant mission We are 110 W about to fulfil. " The events 'which caused Pire'desfriiction nf the Church ot France are suflicientlylmown. We hare nut only heen'the witneNses ot tht.nfr, but-the `.l:hey beking to hi _story. and we recall them.meiely to bleis Provideqde /lilt has tettared with 'liberty the legitimate and tutelary Tlsrone, acl,ich' is every day confirmed by the Wisdom ot the ,• On the 13th ohluky i , Dip , Convention was decreed be tween the French Government and t tie holy See. It was pub lished as a laW of tire Stale. On the Bth of April, 1802, two series of diSpositiois's, intitled Organio-irticks, were promul gated to be observed as laws or the State. On the 24th of May following, the Pope, in an address pronotiteed in Secret Consistdey, declared, that Naving perceived that With the Con cordat were puolished some articles not recognised by him, he should he compelled to demand of the French Government tome suitable arid necessary - changes. • " Discussiims were then opened between the tivo Powers, and prolonged without coming to any result. The'misunder,- standing between the Pope and the French Government mul tiplied; we shall not here retrace their progress. In the year 1808, the Pope refused to the Bishops of France the ex traordinary power Which he had previously acknowledged, difficulties were raised respect ing_the forM of Canonical 111- St it ot ions, and the events of 1809 produced an open rupture. `f On the lath of Fehrwary, 1813, A pretended Concordat, signed at lontainhlean, was inserted in the Bulletin des Lois, anti published as a law of *the State, in an unusual manner., The • lope protested against this puolication, and considered himself as freed from all the engagements that ' - he had con tracted with the Government then existing,. - " Such dras the state of things when the King re-ascended the Throne of his ancestors. All the relations between France and the Head of the Church were suspended ; the - sucee::sion of Bishops was interrupted; the Churches were without Pastors; the Priesthood was divided; .he People were without the henetits instructions. The evils that afflicted the ChOreh threatened the State. Ti, prevent one, and terminate the other, the King. commencer! tiegociations with horse; the Convention concluded on the I MI of June last, between r the Holy See - and tho King, has been the result. It re ews the alliance that ever existed between the Sovereign Pontiff and France. " According to the terms of .the 1 4th article of the Charter, the King concludes Treaties of Peace, Alliance, and Coos• pierce, maundering the .Pope as a temporal Sovereign, in his quality of Head of the Universal Uhurch ; - a Concordat kas all the characters of a Treaty properly so called.' It is an agreement formed between two per:Suns, with a view to the public good. " In tree mean time, if the Concordat nifw communicated . to yews is a treaty of peace, and of religious alliance, which it belongs to the king to conclude, it also presents other cha racters peculiar to itself, that distinguish it from ordinary treaties. It has ftr its object not rush to regulate the rela tions of the State with neighlusuring coantriesi hut also the internal economy of a settional Church. . " Such is the nature of the law we have'the honour to propose. If has a - double irbjeet, that of giving the force of law to certain diplomatic conventions which have no oldiga tion on the people without the concurrence of the three P - ouches of the Legislative Power ; and of accompanying them with explicit and s'oleren dispositions which secure all the rights and liberties coufirmed by our laws and national maxims. " The Caminical Institution' of the Bishops eras the essen tial point of Conftrenee with the Holy See, for there was iii France a great number of Itiahopricks vacant and churches suffering. The right of interfering in the nomination of Bi shoo is one which the King possesses its quality of Supverne Head, and to assure himself that tunctions so important as those attached to a Bishop not he delivered over tor foreigners and enemies of the t ;mist itution. " On the other side, the Pope, by lite general discipline of the Catholic Church, consecrated in France - by the Ordinan ces of the Realm, possesses the right ctt iovestigating the ilithups whirl) nominated ; hul l these two rights heiug exer cised iu concert, it kas become necessary that the two powers.. should agree to nay their mutual - prerogatives with ad . . " Luring the course of the late ncgociatios, attention was ireqUently and naturally directed to 'what had occurred on the subject of nominations and institutions between Francis I. and Leo X. in a Treaty confirmed by the practice of nearly three centuries. !Thus the law now proposed cousterates, with respect to the nomination of Bishops, the right of the King of France, as it had been recognized in the .ancient Convention." M; LUNE then observes upon the remaining conditioussof the Treaty as they refer to the new circumscription of Dio ceses, and coneludes—' , To the Kin: alone, as Supreme Head of the State, belongs the nomination of Bishops; to the Pupil, as visible litad of the Church, it belongs to incest thew with their subliia mktiou. " The Church of France is - aggrandised, but not renewed. The advantages that resulted true a precedins Concordat, whether for the re-establishment of religiuu or for the peace of societ;:, are consolidated. . " Similar precautions secure to you the maintenance of those precious liberties which St. Louis, Henry IV. and Louis XIV. have protected, and which our greatest and roost pious Doctors have'defended. You will hasten to place them under a constitutional and regular guarantee, by a law necessary for the repose of the-Church—ot that Church which France bears in its bosom, and which has contributed to its glory, to which we are indebted for our Bossuets, our Fenelons—which, unit ing wisdom to the purity of faith, religious zeal to the love of country, devotion to,the King to the sanctity of morals, has merited the respect and veneration of all people. It is to yOu that the King confides the defence of rights sacred - to the Crown anod the Nation. Prove that you will confirm, by the wisdom of your deliberations, the happy concord that should reign between the Church and the Empire." t Here the Minister communicated the Project of Law which we inserted on Thursday.) SOUTH AMERICA. PRIVATE LETTER. On the Banks of the Guarapicke Malaria, 6th Sep- tember,'lBl7. I arrived among the Patriots at Yrapa about the latter end of July. While We remained there we get nothing but salt fish for our rations, and a bottle of rum'a day. From Yripi7artitere " sent in an open boat to La Pica de Maturin. From thence we walked to this place, where we arrived after a most fatiguing journey. For three days, the half of each day's match was . through mud ; often through water up, to the waist, and obliged to carry our knapsacks. At night we were generally annoyed by wild beasts, and always by mosquitoes. On our arrival here we had no reason to complain of the. way in which we were received. Indeed, for the first week we were treated well enough ; but this did not last long ; they soon seemed to get tired of us, and at last we. got nothing to eat but .what we could buy for ourselves, and we get no pay, for they have none to give. Beef is plenty enough here, but no money to buy it nor cooking pots, and we cannot - cook it for ourselves. There is no such thing as. salt or spices of any kind to be had. Owing to the uncleanliness. oc casioned by all kind of filth being thrown about, what with the bad living and constant rains, we had not been long live before. we were alt at tacked by the fever. was so ill. for ten days that I could hardly move, and had nearly given may to it ; but I roused myelf, and have almost reco vered.

Amongst them is xti article taken from the Journal de la Be/gigue, respecting the dispute between the KING of liic iNittheriandS and his Son the Prince of ORASGE, which confirms' the recent statement we publishel, so far as relates to the immediate or ostensible cause of . the unhappy dissension. • It appears that the litxc and the Petttics-subsequently had a meet ing, but the result of the interview is not stated. The following are. extracts from the Journals of Wednesday . " ]'Attu, Nov. 26.—A vessel which has ar tived in 44 days from the Havannah at Bourdeaux, brings intelligence that La dally, Capt. Jautard, belonging to the latter port, before her arrival at the Havannah, had been plundered by a vessel belonging to Clu•istopbe. The passengers, stripped of every thing, were put on shore two (lays jour ney from the Havannah.

IN'S have published an Extract of the Report suat;e to the- Chancellor, the Count de Itontanzow, by Lieut. Kotzebue. " According to the instructions given to Lien- tenarrt 'Kotielme, iral ;::e tr2rnmr' of I ? , l? from . Nortnn's Bay t!') tivike a voyage the meriOr of 1167tii America. In order, lio:‘•- eVer, to be enabled to undertake this exveditioc. as promptly as possible, he was directed to thrOugh Norton's Bay before tare summer, i n rf to ditcover what aid he 'could derive for this exe' -curio!) of the raiSsion couAded to him. tt--onfrartiabljr to these instructions, Lient.

The 2a Oct. he anchored in the port of San Francisco,w here he was received in the most amicable and obliging manner by the Governor ; he 'quitted the coast of New Albion the 2d NoVember. The intention of Lieutenant Kotzebue was to remain till April in the South Sea, and then to reantne his course to wards the North, to commence in the countries to the East of Behrings' Straits the. researches and discoveries which he is commissioned to Make." The ,proposed supervision of the Press by the CROWN LAWYERS, which we were the first in communicate to the Public, freim authdrity, is not intended to apply so much to the Diurnal News papers, as to those - Weekly eifusions of sedition, which hare too long been suffered to pass with impunity. But the Opposition Writers in general seem to have taken the alarm, though they can have nothing to fear while they retrAin from Jacobinical violence and artifice, and offer reason• able and well-founded objections to the measures Of Goveinrnetit. Those who would wish to pre;. rent a liberal and candid discuision of public rend s'ures, and ‘vholly to silence an Opposition Press., Can he no friends to their Country, and can neVer_ be the objects of patronage to any Administration that regard their own true interest, and the probation of the People. The British. Press of yesterday, having copied the article from THE St/NI - of the day before, which adverted to the report circulated in Park , . that an English Newspaper is the pay of the French Government, says, "we wish Tuc Su had been more explicit." We,have uothirg nrorct cLii,say upon the subject, but, on the corrrary, •,:ve "expressed our t:,sbelief that any Enoi:lt Jouroal shotdd so flir degrade itself as to he under toreign influence. We could, however, if necessary, men tion the name of the Englishman who is saidto he the Agent lot the English Paper, and who, if there is really any truth in the report altogether, now attends the FtLench Minister every day, as we before stated, in order to know what he is to communicate to the Einglis% Journal. But, re peating our distrust that such a disgraceful con nexion can possibly . he carried on, we have may to say, that if the report gains credit, and any English Newspaper should actually be named, it will be incumbent on that Paper to clear itself from an imputation which must not only deprive it of all confidence in this country, but which, in fact, ought to excite enquiry and. alarm in the British Government, for. a Paper under the in- &epee of France must he expected to varnish over all the measures of the French Cabin e t, an d either suffer those of our Rulers to pass in silence, and, at best, is give a very languid support to them . , if they should in the slightest degree interfere with the policy of the Court of France, however well calculated to promote the interest and maitt tain the honour of this Country, or indeed to pre• serve tranquillity in ail the rest of Europe. • • • some iune ill or to lever, brokenlit in sores `" like 'a Eaz , trus.
