BRUSSELS. AVOVIT
His "Royal Highness the Doke of Cambridge
and suite arrived hers yesterday from Hanover, sod

put up at the hotel de Belle Vie. His Royal
Highness set out this morning for IL•adeas.

Our accounts from the frontiers of France, dated
the day before yesterdsy, say. that it was generally
reported dist several corps of troops of all arms will
very shortly receive orders to commence their march
from the northern frontiers for the south of France.
Already several regiments of horse and foot are
spoken of as being destined for this purpose ; among
others. part of the garrisons of Lille, Missy. Arms,
Cansbrisy. Sedan, and Mets.
A letter from Frankfort mys„ that the marriage
of the Prince Royal of Sweden with the dapghter
of the Disko of Leuchpuiberg is resolved Aspen. but
that as the Priocess is Duly IS years of age, it will
be deferred till neat year. It seems that the diffe.
mace of religion will not be an obstacle, sad that
the Princess will retain her's. She will bring to
Prince Oscar a dowry of a milliat of .fronts, which
was given to her by Bonaparte at her birth as
Princess of B.ologna.
It is observed that for some time pest the Jour-
nals of St. Petersburgh, and especially
.the Coo.
sersofeur Impartial, contain articles petiteesiarly
directed against the present state of things' in
Spain.

It is stated in letters from the frontiers of Mol.
&via. that the Sultan, to give some satisfaction to
the Russian., has promised to have • Christian
church built out of the walls of Constantinople.
The time and place are not yet fixed.

A house at Amsterdam has received a letter from
Florence, of the 7th August, written by its cartes-
pondent in that city, as so answer to the repeated
applications of Italian. French, and German homes,
respecting the fate of the Greek marchants of Scio.
He gives the names of 209 Greek merchants mas-
sacred at Scio.—(Brussels Papers, Await 30
