A Dutch mail has arrived with papers to the 25th
inst; Intelligence from Brussels, dated the 21st,
accounts fur the recent arrests at Ghent. It appears,
that•vurious foreign half-ply officers, having heard
that military delegates were in that city enlisting.
troops for the Insurgents of New Granada, had pro-
ceeded thither for the purpose of obtaining commis-
sions from them. The magistrates deemed it expe-
dient to interfere, and several, whosse pas.sports were
fitund to be irregular, were taken into custody.
Most of them were ordered to quit Flanders.

The settlement of the account in Consols took
place on Thursday at the Stock• Exchange, when in
addition to those already noticed, six defaulters were
publicly declared, making in the whole no less than
fourteen in the present week. An equal number of
persons are said to have settled their time-bargains
by a private composition ; and the mischief is still
considered as far from having reached its terminati-
on. .A settlement so final in its consequences has
rot been . recollected at the Stock Exchange for a
ling period. The causes are to be traced to the
state of public opinion when the contract for the
present loan was completed; when, from the dimi-
nution of the sinking-fund, a fall of the Funds was
contemplated as certain, and the large majority of
speculations were undertaken in that persuasion. A
great proportion of the tinw-bargains now settling
were carried forward from the J 1v account. Con-
sols fee October closcd yesterday at 71,5,, and Omni-
um at 4.1/minium.

sed was servant to Mr. Simukins, butcher, in Queen-
street, near Baitersea.hridge ; she was or a lively dispo-
sition, and was much respected in her capacity. About
three weeks ago, Itieharst Massey, a journeyman in the

was confined to Isis tied at his master's house; in costse-
qoence the deceased attended him. 111. master, he,V.
