BRUSSELS, MARCH .
In the course of the month of May there will be at Luneville
a camp consisting entirely of cavalry, much more numerous than
that of last year. The Prince of Hohenlohe will have the chief com-
mand. It is supposed that the manceuvres will continue for three
or four months, and it is hoped that this time the Duke and
Duchess of Angouleme will come and reside for some days in the
Palace at Linville, which has been repaired and handsomely
fitted up.
The proprietors of the vineyards in Bas Lorraine, and the country
about Metz, complain bitterly of the losses they have sustained
for these two years past; formerly they supplied almost exclu-
sively the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, the Ardennes, and part
of the province of Namur; but the restrictions on the importation
of their wine into those countries has greatly diminished the sale.
They ardently wish for the conclusion of a treaty of commerce
between France and the Netherlands, which would probably put an
en I to this embarrassing state of things.
The reduction of the import duties on several articles lately re-
s lee I upon by the English Government, seems likely to have a
sslutary influence on several branches of manufactures in the Ne. ,
therlwirls. Already we learn that the iron works in the province
of Liege and Namur are more actively employed than they have
been for a long titne. It may be remembered that it has been
stated that the quantity of iron produced in England is at present
icsufficient for the manufactories and iron rail-roads, which are
becoming more and more numerous; but our apeculators in the
Netherland' will hardly confine themselves to the exportation of
taw iron to England, but will protit by the immense markets which
the New American States offer, where all articles of iron meet with
a very ready sale.

The Greeks have lost the opportunity of surprising Prevesa. The
M ussulmans have been alarmed, and are now on their guard. De-
tachments are marching from the Danube to reinforce the Turkish
army in Thessaly. Nothing more is said of the departure of the
troops in Rumeha for the same destination. These corps, and
those at Adrianople, have not yet moved. Servia is by no
means tranquil. The party of the discontented increases daily,
and the provinces are full of Greek agents.—Brersele Papers,
March 19.

VIENNA, MARCH 7.
Prince ltletternich has made several dispositions in the Foreign
Office, which sufficiently prove that his absence from this capital will
be very long. The Clerks of the office, who are to go to Milan in the
beginning of April, are already selected; for Prince 3lettern len, when
he leaves Paris, will not return to this city, but go direct to Milan.
Baron Sturniert the Father, formerly Internuncio from the Court of
Austria to the Sublime Porte, is to have the direction of the official
business during Prince Metternich'. absence. M. Van thin, who
enjoys the particular confidence of the Minister, will, it is said,
also remain here, and that, in fact, he will have the chief manage-
ment. All the despatches of importance are to be forwarded to
Prince Metternich, first to Pavis, us long as he remains there, and
afterwards to Milan.
Pen:; le here are persuaded that the journey of our Prime Mi-
nister to Paris has a very important politiesl object, whatever may
be said to persuade the public that there are other motives for it.
It is !generally agreed that the afl:tirs of Turkey and Greece are the
principal object, and that the departure of the Prince, which was
to hate taken place before, has been delayed, because it was
wished to know first what was the result of the mission of Mr.
Stratford Canning to St. Petersburgh. Several couriers with de-
patetes on this subject have arrived successively for the Russian
capital. The moat profound secrecy is observed in the contents of
them, and even the lint bankers know nothing for certain : hence
it is inferred that the result of the ncgociation at St. Petersburgh,
so tar as it is known, has not anawered the expectation of cur
Court. It is hoped here that Prince Metternich will be able to in-
duce the French Cabinet to act in concert with ours respecting the
affairs of Turkey.
By the last letters from Constantinople it appecrs that the
Divan begins to entertain suspicions respecting the negotiations
between the Great Powers relative to the affairs of Greece.
Alarming reports have been spread in Constantinople of an ap-
proaching invasion of the Russian troops. These report■ incense
the Mussulmans and Iberease the fermentation that has for some
time past prevailed in Constantinople. It is highly probable that
the '1 urkish capital will shortly be the theatre of
important event&

Notwithstanding the elevated situation of our city, the plan of
opening a communication by a canal with the Scheldt, and cow-
tkuently with the sea, appears likely to be accomplished. The
king has assigned the funds requisite for making a survey of the
ground, and preparing the plans for this imporumt undertakin

Exchange on London, 39 8; two months, 39 6.—Amsterdam
Papers, March 19.

Papavoine was induced by his Counsel to appeal to the
Court of Caseation. On Friday the case was argued ; the
ground of appeal was, that one of the jury being Refer-
ent'a-y in the Court of Accompts, there was, according to
the law, an incompatibility between his quality of Magic-
trate and that of juryman. This ground was declared in-
valid, and the appeal rejected.

'` TO THE AUGUST DIRLCTORY.
" 31 ast of the western troops tinder my command are at Calm.-
rita and Kt rpeni. whi'e the others besiege Diakopto.
" The tyrant Zaimi is besieged by the brave Sulints in three
owes near Ke-peni. I hope that the measures I have ordered
will bring this wickcil apostate to Napoli. It will then appear
w tether the It ws of Greece are founded on justice. If from false
notions of phiianthropy and political delicacy Me membets of the
Government should choose to pardon th.:ic Anti-Regents, and
their late or present partisans, they mar know tl,at neat year they
will hare to pardon me ; for where wickadnew is not punish' I, it
easily finds imitators.
" Oentlemer. ! You will pleas.! not to despise these rude words
of mine. For the Greeks are not a salesUlc cummodity, to be given
up to the contempt of a Zaimi, the dissoluteness of a Load°, er
the hypocrisy of a Nowa. to say nothing of the rapacity of
Coloeotroni, and the telly of Nikita, as being too notorious. The
pious Sissini. after having drained Orence, and sent the wealth of
&WWII to Lame, now sends his son with 390 men to suppott
Zaiml at Kerpeni.
