BRUSSESS, SEPTEMBER 5.

We 6nd the following passage in the Cronsvrea-
rear Impartial of St. l'etersburgh, of 17th of
August :—" The preservation of peace is now con-
sidered as Iseyond all doubt : the resolutiOn takes
by the Russian Cabinet rests on such a solid foun-
dation, that if the evacuation of the two principa-
lities should still be delayed from some rouse which
is not fo , Russia would uevertbeless remain
immovable its its determination. The. npening of
the Congress is fixed tor the month of September.
It will turn its attention not only to the affairs of
the East, bat also to those of the States of the
West. Never was there a more important ur a more
delicate subject of discusaiun."
A letter from Paris says, that the Order of Malta
intends to renew its applications to the Sovereings
who are. going to assemble at the Congress of Ve-
rona, in order to obtain its re-establishment as its
independent power. This illinitrious Order, cele-
brated for so many services rendered to Christianity,
is said to be powerfully supported iii its claims by
his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, who has at all
times *hewn hiareelfrxtremely favourable to it.
. . .

The Knights of Malta long served as the bul-
wark of Europe against the Ottoman Power. The
siege of Rhodes mud of Malta have proved to the
world what enlightened valour can effect against the
ferocious stupidi'y of the Turks. It is probable
that there will never again he such u favourable op-
portunity to revive • famous Order, which has pro-
duced ■ number of heroes whose mimes will be im-
mortal in history.
The Governor of South Brabant has just cull-
ed the attention of the local authorities to the nu..
furious robberies which for some time post have
been committed IN the churches, and invited them
to take effectual measures fur the preservation of
those edifices from these sacrilegious violations.

GERMAN PAPERS.

VIENNA, AUGUST 21.
According to accounts from Trieste. of the 19th
instant, an Austrian ship had arrived there on that
day from Smyrna, which, on the Slat of .July, fell
in near Petra* with the Turkish fleet, which quitted
its station, off Tenedos, about the middle of last
month.—(See the Aust, ion Obserrer. No. 248, of
16th August.)—The fleet consisted of about 80 sail,
among which there were re sail of the line and fri-
gatec—(Aastrion Observer, August 27.)
'ln this. same number of the Austrian Observes
there a *sus. extremely long article (nearly eight
criAmallis), as the affairs of Portugal and Brasil.
•Itt.gieree'ten" unfavourable picture of the state of
things in Portugal; passes in review the measures
"Wed in the Cortes to prevent the entire lost of
Brasil; dwells on the inadequacy and absurdity of
the plum proposed by the Committee specially-ap-
pointed
,for the purpose; and observes on the pride
and oreogisoce. of the predominunt party in the
Cortes, which will not allow them to consider of
any conciliatory me..surer, by which the breach that
is so mach dreaded might, perhaps, be averted or
rendered less prejudicial.
Towards the conclusion of this article is the fol-
lowing passages:—" The writers in the English Op-
position Journals frequently speak with meth soils.
faction of the profound tranquillity prevailing in
Portugal, and declare it to be an irrefragible proof
of general content with the present order of things.
It might be difficult further to find any trace of
what they call content, in any class (not excepting
the party which for the moment prevails), in any
condition, in any family in Portugal ; but the
traitquillity which we have in fact lately en-
joyed, is the fruit of unconditional submission
to a fate voluntarily brought on ourselves,
and which, however hurdeosome it is, or may
become, cannot be overfed by ordinary means.
The King, fur reasons which nobody is celled epos
to fathom, has carried this principle of resignation
to the utmost limit of human patience and self.
denial. The nation had walking left but to follow
this example. The revolution must be borne,
though the time is passed when people thought it
might be loved—fur that it has produced any ad-
rootage to the country is considered as • fable,
even by the few who are compelled to say so.
"The all-powerful and eupremeCoi tes understand
the 'work of destruction es well as the artisans of
revolution ; but they seemed disposed to leave to
future generations the business of building up
again. .Without coring any of the old diseases (and
Portugal certainly laboured under many), their
desperate remedies have produced new ones that
penetrate to the very vitals. The ruin of the great
families has not enriched those below them, but
with the stagnation of agriculture, and the want of
work, produced poverty in all. Trade has declined
on all sides; the soutces of the revenue dry up;
the national debt has increased since the 24th of
August, 1820, by 10 millions of crusadoes (about
• million sterling) ; all intercourse with foreign
countries is diminishing; even the most important,
that with England, is threatened with manifold
dangers. The foreign posseasions, which have been
lung the oasis source of national prosperity, are ex-
posed to the attempts of the first adventurer who
shall raise his standsid in them ; and the only great
result of two years promises and hope. has been the
defection of Brasil.

" If such is our present situation, is the prospect
of the future calculated to inspire satisfaction ? Bat
the future is involved in dark and threatening
clouds. The Cortes have provided, that the pre-
sent Constitution shall appear equally doubtful to
its friends and its enemies. There have fo►merly
been dreams of Republican Monarchies, of Repub-
lics with monarchical forms, of pyramids having for
their broad base the power of the people, and for
their summit the reps! crown. But when, as is
here the case, the pyramid is reversed, and the
whole weight of an elective oligarchy is placed above
the royal power, pressed below, and confined to a
narrow compass, how shall so unnatural an edifice
stand ? In (act, a conviction is universally preva-
lent, that it will fall to pieces at the very first shock,
and that even on the most favourable supposition, it
will Hot outlive for a single day the fall of the neigh-
bouring edifice (the melancholy archetype of ours),
which similar want of p►oportion irrevocably con-
demns to similar ruin ; and from this conviction there
arises a general sentiment of insecurity, of despon-
dency slid apprehension, which is pourtrayed in
every countenance, ■nd purposely or involuntarily
pervades every conversation. If these are symptoms of
content, the Loudon Opposition Journals have truly
pollard the mate of public opinion in. Pommel."
ZURICH, •000. T 26.

The Committee appointed to consider the com-
mercial intercourse of Switzerland with pther coun-
tries. has presented two reports to the Diet : one
by Senutor Hirzel, in the name of the majority;
the other by M. Braun, who alone forms the
minority.
The first recommend• a limitation of the free
trade with those countries which adopt the prohi-
bitory system, and proposes a Tariff of import du-
ties on produce and manufactures. The other re-
port is diametrically opposed to this project, which
it counsels to reject as ruinous in its coneequeneela
The Diet haireferred the matter back to the Com-
mittee, and desired to reconsider the mutter and
present a new report.--(froakfurt Papers, Sep-
