[From the Nett Yor& Gough of September 11.]

FROM BUENOS Asses,—Captain Hamilton, ar.
rived at Baltimore from Buenos Ayres, informs
that a considerable quantity of flour had arrived at
that place and Monte Video from the United
Steles. which had caused it to fall rapidly. The
produce of the country was very high, sad likely
to become more so, as the demand from Europe was
very great.

The Government was anxiously expecting a Mi-
nister from the United States, with the acknow-
ledgment of their independence.
Faow RIO JANElllo.—Coptsin Paul, also ar-
rived at Baltimore, sailed from Rio on the nth of
July, at which time flour was very dull, the bakers
having on hand a supply for ten or twelve weeks.
A great quantity of Sour was expected from France,
and apprehensions were entertained that the La
Plata markets were also overstocked; there were
no
recent arrivals from that River. The English
brig Romulus, from Gibrsltsr, with flour, was to
proceed to La Plata, not being able to sell at Rio
Janeiro. The Government had taken up vessels to
take away part of the troops from Monte Video.
An election for Members of the Cortes of Brazil
had taken place, and that body was to assemble in
the course of three months. The Deputies from
Pernambuco had arrived.

A fleet fitted out at Rio by the Government of
Brazil, had sailed to blockade St. Salvador.

w This, we presume, should be I,no men, as that was
about the number Paz is stated to have bad in and about
Valencia.

Ste—l concluded my last letter by the remark,
that Alexander had judged rightly in not proceed-
iug too hastily aglinst the Turks. An immediate
acquisition of territory would have been dearly
purchased by the dissolution of a league which af-
fords him no very distant prospect of attaining a
predominance in European politics, greater than
has ever yet been enjoyed by any individual Sove-
reign. Whilst the dread of freedom continues to
govern the politics of European Courts, and •
league is maintained having the prevention of im-
provement for its main object, the Autocrat nerd
not despair of seeing the time arrive when he may
pursue any separate object of his ambition, secure
from the resistance, and unopposed even by the
remonstrances of his confederates. This league,
from its very principles and object, gives as far as
it can the superiority to barbarity over civilization,
in inverts the order of gradation in kingly rank,
and reverses all the rules by which dignity and im-
portance have been hitherto assigned to nations.—
It is obviously, therefore, the interest of the Em-
peror of Russia that it should be permanent. The
seiiure of any part of the Turkish territory would
have shaken, if it had not dissolved, this Alliance,
and I cannot help Thinking that the undecided,
and even undignified conduct of Russia, iii the
whole negotiation with that Power, is best to be ex-
plained by the anxiety of Alexander to perpetuate
the Holy Allianee, as utiording more secure means
of aggrandizement, and more tempting baits to
his ambition.

There ere, I am aware, persons who affect to
ascribe the abandonment of his designs against
Turkey, by Alexander, to moderation and the love
of peace. How this class of persons would account
for the formation of these designs, if they were
relinquished upon the principles they allege, it
seems difficult to imagine. Let it be remembered
that there existed no new necessity for the interfer-
ence of Russi►►. The conduct of the Turkish
Gorrnment towards its Greek titlijects, lionevcr

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1822.

A Flanders Mail arrived last night with Papers
from Brussels to the gth instant. They present a
picture of the internal state of France, which we
regret to say fo►ms a striking and melancholy con-
trast with the state of this country. The following
are extracts:—

VRANILIFORT, OCTOBER Q.

We received from Rome rome interesting details
of the measures which the Pontifical Government
is taking to receive the Sovereigns who are to visit
that capital. The troops forming the garrisons are
to be reinforced.

The Papal and Neapolitan Authorities on the
frontier provinces are to adopt the necessary pre-
cautions for the safety of the road from Rome to
Naples, by which the Sovereigns will travel when
they go to the latter city, and which is known to be
infested by robbers, It is said that strong detach-
ments of the Austrian Army of Occupation will
be distributed in such a manlier as will effectually
protect the execution of those measures.

BRUSSELS, OCTOBER S.

Lord Viscount Castlereagh and Mr. Turner
passed through this city yesterday on their way from
Vienna to London with dispatches.
A letter from Caimbray, of the 2d October, con-
tains the following observations :—" A false idea is
generally entertained in foreign countries of the in-
ternal situation of France, and especially of the
province of the North, which formerly made part
of the l.ow Countries.

"To remove erroneous opinions on this subject,
we nerd ouly quote facts that are of general noto-
riety. Never were commerce and ni.iiiutictores of dl
kinds more flourishing than they now are in Picardy,
A rtois, and French Flanders. A new town has
