One of the MASSY family, it is said, will offer

We understand that letters of the 9th inst. have
been received from Holland, which mention,
in the most positive manner, that Du Roc, the
French Minister. had left the Court of Berlin ; and
that the first division (amounting to 25,000 men),
of a large Prussian army, was on its march to
Holland.
On the 29th last, the General Officers who com-
mand the troops of reserve, at Boulogne, encamp.

the victories of the Grand Army, and the success
of the Emperor. Marshal Baur e, and the superior
Civil and Military Authorities, assembled. The en-
tertainment was given in the temporary building
belonging to Prince Joss, u, for whom a seat of
honour was reserved.

The Julie Council of War, or Supreme Court
illqrtral of the Empi►e, at Vienna, which operated
as a deadly clog upon the exertions and enterprise nt
the gasman officers ; to which, in fad, they liked
forward with greater apprehension, than to the
Franca, has, we understand, been lately abolished, in
consequence of the judicious and spirited represent-
ations of the Archduke • a Ls:.

Application has been made to the Corporation of
Norwich, for permission to engrave a whole-length
portrait of the Immortal NELSON, from the excellent
pifture which, happily, it is their (almost enviable)
lot to be in possession of, painted by fir Wm' to
Bete IiEY ; being, it is believed, the last portrait he
ever sat for ; and there is no doubt but those gen-
tlemen, in whose power it rests, will give every en-
couragement to the laudable design of transmitting
to posterity the resemblance of the greatest naval
here this co'sntry ever gave birth to !
The red (not the b/u.ibiosg) ribbon of the illustrious
NELSON, cannot, we think, be better bestowed than
on the brave and enterprising Sea acita sr, whose
brilliant viftory was a charaaeristic supplement to
the glorious achievements off Trefalgar. The
vianrious Cot. LING wboo has already been honour-
ed with a Peerage ; and, doubtlessly, will expe-
rience the munificence of Parliament, in an adequate
pension fur the support of its dignity.
Orders have been issued by the General com-
manding the Plymouth distrift, that when the Fury-
taus MTV/es with the body of our dear departed
N cisme, the whole garrison shall turn out and re-
ceive it—the streets are to be lined with troops, arms
reversed, drums mused, and the colours hung with
crape—the hells of the churches to he mused also.
An idea has been long entertained, that the Red
Flag had been taken or stolen from the mast of the
Admiral's ship, and that the Dutch obtained that
trophy in the Downs, in one of the battles between
SLAKE and VAN TKOSIP. To correa such mistaken
and vulgar notions, our readers will understand that
the Red Flag has never been taken or surrendered to
the enemy. The last Officer that wore such flag
was Sir GIORGI. ROOKS, when he was Admiral of
the Fleet, and Commander in Chief of the Combined
Force of England and Holland, in the Mediterranean,
in 1703. Upon the union of England with Scotland,
the Red Flag was discontinued to be worn, and
the Union Jack became the distinguishing flag of
the Admiral of the fleet : thus the Red Flag at the
main was superseded by the use of the Union Jack in
its stead.
A envious proceeding uniformly takes place on
the first day of the Session of Parliament. A Com-
mittee of both Houses, headed by the Great Cham-
berlain, search and explore the vaults and cellars
under the houses, previous to the coming of His
MAJSSTY, in order to be certain they do not con-
tain any inflammable or combustible matter. It is
called Gay faax's Committee, and the historical
circumstance which gave rise to the proceeding is
well known ; but, with an unaccountable degree of
inconsistency, a similar search is net snide on the /ad
day of the Session. Surely the danger exists Wily
I as much on the latter, as OD the former !
