FLANDERS MAIL. been linnounced: The tribunal has appointed this flay week to pa . ss sentence. We shall ;emit' to this cause and its importance in respect to public law.—(Journal of Ghent, Aug. 31 .) ANISTERDAM, Auo. 28.—The Zeeploeg, Cap taiu Maw:chum), which sailed from the Texel at the end of July, with about 500 German emi grants for America, Was forced hack to the Texel a fortnight ago by contrary winds. In this voyage 60 passengers died. An epidemic disorder has broke out on board the Avril, which is in the Texel, also with emigrants ; many persons have died of it. By order of the Government the others have been conveyed from on hoard -the ship to a place prepared for them in the Isle of \Vie. ringen, both to recover their health and to pre vent the propagation of the disease. It is said that there are 700 other emigrants at the Texel, who had been engaged by the house of Rudolph to go to Philadelphia ; but that hitherto they could not be sent for want of paying their passage and maintenance. EXTRACT OF .1 LETTER FROM CAMBRAY, AUG. 28. The Duke of Wellington will soon artive at Mont St. Martin, where all his family is asseat bled. The King of Prussia is expected here from Paris ; and the troops of our garrison have al ready received orders to show that Sovereign every military honour. The diminution of the Army of Occupation by another sth is at this moment the general subject of conversation. Letters trout Paris, which may be considered as authentic, asset t that this mea sure meets with opposition from the Ministers of some of the Powers ; but every thing gives reason to-believe that a reduction of the Allied troops will take place in two months. Meantime, the reviews of the Austrian, Russian, English, and other troops will take place suecessieely in the whole line from Alsace to the North Sea; they will be very btilliant. The number of officers on half-pay who are going to be put on active service is considerable ; it is estimated at 7 or 800, front the rank of Chief of a Battalion to that of sub-lieutenant. What is retharkahle is, the great number cif - military who solicit employment. All is much changed in this respect within this year and a halt, which may be attributed to the wisdom and firmness of the Go vernment. BRUSSELS, AUG 30.—One of our journals says, "M. Stevenotte, senior, condemned to three mouths imprisonment, and a fine of 500 florins, baying requested permission to undergo his pe nalty in the house of arrest at Vdvorde, on ac count of the salubrity of the place, the Attorney- General has granted him this favour, though it ° is not usual to send to that prison any persons but Such 's ate sentenced to more than a year's im prisonment." TOURNAY, AUG. 29.—We learn from all our fortresses of the first class, that the works are carried on with extraordinary activity ; nothing is spitted to make them as solid as possible.— (Brussels Paper, Aug. 20.) GukNr, SEPT. I.—lt seems certain that the Bourbons of France come to the aid of the Bour bons of Spain. Many vessels of war and many transports have sailed from different ports of France for Spain, where they will be employed in one of those unhAppy expeditious destined to re store America. if the Government dues not sent! Dien it is because such a measure would be dis agreeable to the nation ; and it is feared besides, that it would be sending reinforcements to the in sur:.!ents. VteNNA, AUG 21.—The Morning Chronicle of the 50, fills ttvo of its columns with a pretended Protest, said to have been presented by her Ma jesty the Archduchess Maria Louisa, Duchess of Parma, to the Vienna Congress, on the 1901 of rcbruary, 1815, against placin g the Bourbons on the Throne of France. This docum ent , says t h e Mooting Chronicle, written originally in French, is translated into English from a German transla tion, deposited - in the archives of the city of Fraohlott ! We should not have thought it worth while to mention this new lying production, h a d not other papers besides the Morning Chronicle, and his friend the Vrai Liberal, e.'g. the Journal de la Belgique, inserted it,'" as eminently belong ;u;.; to history." We hereby declare diet this piece, frained by the enemies of peace and order in Europe, is a forgery from the beginning to the :•nd.--(Jusirirza Observer, "fug. 22 Auo. cousequence of a riot which took place here, on account of tSe arrest citizehs, whom it WAS attempted to set otz dud respecting whch the particular de- - GHENT, AUG. 31.—The action of the Duke of 'Wellington against the Editor of the Journal of East and West Flanders came on to-day, as had The'Counsel of his Grace, Messrs. -Tarte, sen. and Jouhand, alter reasonings in which the pub lic thought there was more sophistry than logic, endeavoured to prove, not only that the article in question contained a calumny, but als9--- - that it called down on his Grace the public contempt and Lered. Mr. Beyens, the Editor Counsel, re-. futed (and the public thought he did it success fully) •the reasonings of these gentlemen. He maintained that they were founded on nothing po sitive, but on inductions. He explained the ar ticle which gave rise to the complaint of his Grace, in the intention of the Editor. He divided it into parts, which are very distinct, and assigned to each of them the only sense in which they can be understood; and hence he -concluded that the action :brought by his Grace was without any solid •formdatio'n. Mr. Smel, who acted as Attorney , 'General,. prayed, notwirhstandine, that the Edi tor of the Journal of East and West Flanders he condemned to one month's imprisonment, to flue of 300 Burins, and to the loss of his political and civil rights for five years. It was thought at first that his reasoning would tend to the dis missal of the complaint against the Editor, ‘vho, according to Mr. Smel, would not merit from his Gt ace any thing but that profound and en tire contempt which is due to miserable pamphle teers (follieulaires). tails ore not known, the Government issued a proclamation, as folioivs 1.

ALTO A, AUG. 28.—According to letters from Breslau of tie 22d, serious affrays have . taken place there, between the military a►►d the citizens. The Riot Act was proclaimed, and cannon fired upon the people. BERLIN, AUG. 26.--Colonel Von Massenback, who was arrested at 'Frankfort, arrived here yes terday, and ivas sent this morning early, accom panied by an officer of gees .d'armes, to the fortress of Custrin, from which it is said he will be removed to Colbetg. STOCKHOLM, Auc. 19.—A Royal Proclamation has been published through the whole kingdom, respecting the celebration of • the approaching Steadar Festival of the Reformation. 111 r. Lorent, from Han burgh, who has distinguished himself by establishing several - fine manufactories at Gottenhurgh has now established likewise a great porter brewery. This porter is seat all over the kingdom, and is not to be distin guished from the English. Since the pr o hibition of the latter, this establishment of M. Lorent is very important. Peranssuaou, AVG'. 13.—The Lyceum at Odessa has received the name of Richelieu, after the Prime Ministet of France, who, after having long governed Odessa, a ti!l interests himself in its prosperity, and has appointed a certain annual sum (being the revenues of the estate granted him for his services) for the founding and support of tt* Lyceum. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. PARIS, SEPT. 1.--There is no longer any doubt bat the severe measures of the Authorities- in the epartments of the Rhone and the here have car ried discontent to its height. The Counsellor of State, M. Camille Jourdan, who has arrived in Paris, and who lives in the department of the Rhone, had already made remonstrances against the conduct of the Authorities of that department to different Members of the Government at Pa ris, and had finally addressed a memorial to the King, in which he recommended moderation as the only means of preventing a catastrophe in these districts. M. Camille Jourdan was, in consequence, ordered up to the Capital ; and it was in consequence of the information which he gave, that Marshal Marmont was sent to the de partments of the Rhone and the Isere with ex traordinary powers. This is an important mit). sion, which may lead hit)) to the Ministry of War. Martnont is the declared enemy of The present Minister of War, the Duke of Feltre ; for it was Marmont who denounced, in the last Session of the Chamber of Peers, the budget of that Depart ment. Theiarrival of Marmont at Lyons will pro-.. bahly lead to the dismissal of Cannel from the command of that Department, and perhaps, like wise of prefect Chabrol. The Minister of Police is soot) to publi-1) a Report on the disorders which have been committed without the knowlede of the Authorities of the'departments of the Rhone, of the Isere, and otger departments of the south. It appears that General Cannel, in particular, is strongly compromised in these disorders. We are assured, likewise, that General Count Donadieo, commandant of Grenoble, is on the point of send ing in his resignation. Another event equally important is the retu r n of Marshal Davoust, Prince of Eckmuhl, Minister of IVar under Buonaparte, to active service with in these few days. He is one of the subscribers of the famous address to the Chamber of Represen tatives, published after the battle of Waterloo, in which we find the following passage The Bourbons are rejected by the majority of the French nation ; they offer no guarantee to the nation."— He afterwards, however, disavowed the signature to this address. The wife of the Prince of Eck mold is the - sister of the famous General Leclerc, and daughter of a good haberdasher at Puntoise You will be sensible that this will not assort we at Court kith the Princesses and Duchesses of the ancient Noblesse. The news that the King of Prussia, instead of going to Cambray to the re view of the English army, is gone ro Msubeuge, to be present at the manoeuvres of the Russian troops, has increased, as you may well suppose, certain reports and conjectures already current ; and people ►lrr not fail to add, that the Due . of Wellingt o n tritted Paris very dissatisfied, and that the only success he had was that of having preserved by his influence the Duke of Feltre iu the Ministry. The Special Court of Brussels will soon be oc cupied with the process - of M. de Broglio, Bishop of Gh en t, who will be sentenced par conturnqce. lie is now in the neighbourhood of Dijon, accord ing to some reports ; according to othcrs, at Hone. CARLSBAD, Avc. 23.—The Prince of Harden burg will set out to-day to go to the Prussian provinces on the Rhine. He has had, dur ing his stay here, frequent conferences with Count Capo d'Ltria. The Secretary of the English Legation at Vienna, Sir R. Gordon, bro ther of Lord Aberdeen, who is Charg6“l'Af faires during the absence of Lord Stetvart,has been here for'soine time. We nre assured that he has attended many conferences with the Ministers (if Prussia and Russia. Not►►ing haS transpired of the result of these conferences. Among the diplo matists who have been here for some time, is Prince Ruff°, Minister of Naples. Since P►ince Schwartzenberg left Carlsbad, he has remained at Tmplitz for the beletit of his health, which is now good. Prince Rasonmowsky, formerly Ambassa dor of Russia at the Court of Austria, and now dorniciliated at Vienna, has had the misfortune of breaking his leg at Egra, 15 league: front this, where he was taking the waters, NEXT WEDNESDAY TUE LOTTERY WILL BEGIN AND FINISH—ONLY 2,900 NUMBERS—FOIL SAND POUNDS MAY BE GAINED 1W ONE NUM BER I--PRIZES ALL STERLING MONEY.

We give from a Morning Paper a Private Letter from Paris, which serves to mark some of the specula tions that have arisen out of the appointment of Marshal MAttMoNT, Duke of Ragusa, to coin- mand at Lyons, to which we recently alluded. [.From Me New York Commercial Advertiser of August 8.) A Gentleman from Port-au-Prince, who was there at the time of the explosion of the maga zine, as well as that at the fort, states, that the report of the former, which was caused by light ning, was terrible, that the agitation continued a full minute, and that it was very destructive to the buildings in the vicinity, many of which had their roofs blown off, and were otherwise mnch injured. He heard of no person having been killed by it, though several who were walk ing in the streets were considerably maimed by the falling of stones. The cause of the fort having been blown up was said to have originated in a difficulty respecting two women, that the Commandant bad: his commission taken from him, and was otherwise degraded, for which he threatened to blow up the fort. He accord ingly fastened himself up in an apartment near the magazine, in order to execute his threat, say ing, however, he would treat with the President, or the General commanding, as to his being arrest ed, but should any one else attempt it, he should set fire to the train. The General ordered a detach ment against him, who commenced a fire; and the Commandant, fearing he might be killed or taken without carrying into execution bis threat, set fire to a barrel of powder, which blew him to atoms, but fortunately , did little other damage. The soldiers belonging to the fort had previously marched out of the reads of the expected explo sion. As The British Press seems disposed to have the last word on the Embassy to China, we shall in dulge it, and now take leave of the subject. We must repeat, however, out approbation, in which we are sure we shall be joined by every man zea lous for the honour of our country, of the firm ness and dignified conduct of Lord AMIIMIST on the occasion. The Press sneers at the religious corrirorerty between The Morning Chronicle and The Courier, But surely such a topic is more ra tional than an indulgence of party spleen on the one hand, or a defenca of Government on the other, as the tranquil state of all Europe, and the flourishing condition of this Country, resulting from the wisdom and energy of British counsels and British efforts, speak for themselves too forcibly to require any vindication. We refer our Readers to the account of the Roman Catholic Meeting of the 27th ult., and to the remainder of Mr. TOMLINE'S Speech, in our Paper this day, and we leave the Nation at large to reflect whether so restless a Body as the PAPISTS, who enjoy the fullest toleration of their Religion, shmild be invested will] any share of political power. The daring impudence of the charge, that the British Government encourages public Schools in order to make, Proselytes from POPEIIY, iS too lidiClllollll to excite any emotion but contempt. Information wal received from Paris this morn ing, stating that the Dividends on the Stuck of the French Loan had commenced paying. Yesterday the Duke of Yon visited the Pattccs Rr,GENT at Carlton-house. Mr. VANSITTART arrived early yesterday morn ng, at his house in Downing -street, from Ireland. SHIP NEWS: THE NAVY.

Friday last, the Lightfoot, WINTosx, arrived at Whitehaven from Havre-de-Grace. it is said she is the first vessel direct between the two ports for forty years. She brought, as a proof of the former sta►e of the season iu that part of the Cone tinent, a branch of an apple-tree, loaded with fins ripened fruit. On Tuesday last a large Spanish brig, captured off the Azores by an Insurgent South American privateer, was brought into the harhour of Din. gle ; she was bound for Buenos Ayres with a cargo of brandy. The Prize-master who brought her in is a Mr. O'CONNOR, who, it appears, is a native of Dingle. The validity of her capture will, no doubt, become a subject of discussion la the Admiralty Courts.—( Ennis Chronicle.) The river, at Newcastle Quay, is at present very much crowded with shipping, there being a greater quantity of tonnage lying there than teak ever remembered.—(Cumberland Packet.) The late squally weather has been productive of considerable damage to the shipping engaged in the herring fishing off the coast of Caithness, auci of very calamitous consequences to some of the crews of the boats and their poor families : three boats, one from Prestonpans, another from Buckie, and a third from Fiehusdale, having five men in each, were totally lost off Hehn s d a l e , early on Tuesday se'nnight ; great anxiety pre vails at Cromarty, Catnpbeltown, Avoch, &c., arts , several of the boats from those places are still. unheard of. A Flanders Alail arrived last night, the Papers by which expressly state that France is now fur nishing assistance to Spain, with a view to new expeditions to South America.

BON wzi3 quite pleased at the boa mot, and laughed heartily." DUBLIN, SEPT. I.—The Chief Justice of the King's Bench has been seriously indisposed for several days past, at his seat at Merton, near town. His Lordship, in consequence of the continuance ot his illness, has found it expedient to resign the custody of the Seals, which he held in the ab sence of the Lord Chancellor.—Mr. Baron George has been sworn in as a Commissioner of the Great Seal, in the room ot Judge Downes.—(Freetnun's Journal.) DUEL.—Yesterday morning a meeting took place in the Regent's Park, between two Com manders of merchantinen, a Mr. and a Mr. W--; in consequence of a dispute which occurred in 'Vauxhall Gardens, on Friday night last. Mr. H----- missed his opponent, who tired in the air, and the matter was in consequence amicably settled. On Wednesday morning last, the weather was beautifully fine and serene at Liverpool, and cone tinned so until near four o'clock, when the at• mosphere suddenly became over-clouded, and one 0 e molt tremendous storms of thunder and glinting commenced over the town that the oldest inhabitant ever recollected.
