FRIDAY. JANUARY 2, tBlB.

A Flanders Mail arrived last night, with Papers
flour Brussels to tl►e 30th ult. They announce
the restoration of the Prnu•e of (t►LANI:E to his
►unitary ofliccs illlll titles, whirl► he lately resigned,
and to which, according to report, Prince Ft:EDI:-
Otte: lard been receirtly appointed. we cuts-
Sider the popularity of the Prince of ()itiNGE,
so well merited by the gotolite.s of his piivate cha-
racter and his services in the held, and the influence
acquired by his iniariage with the sister of ALEX..
ANDEIt, tlu, event sliupld not excite surprise.—
Ills Iloyal Highness pruhably intended by Isis re-
signation, inertly to mark his siiiiit of indepen-
dence, and the result has slit-wit that he did not
overrate his strength. Ile is now not rnily rein-
stated in his former rank, but report lets invested
hin► mile new and additional powers. The failing
out of lovers is the renewal of love, mid the suis.
inalerstandiog between the Prince of °CANOE and
his father, was riot likely to lead to very different
consequent.

It is with ►ery !Rely satisfaction that we announce

to the ridiculous, ‘. ith nine!' the public curiosity is
continually fed.—(Urns/e, Dee. .!7.)
