ant intellivinee of the town and fortress .of fiertogenbusch
being taken Flom the evenly. After that General !Wow
considerably reinfo ced the troopa which - for Pi:we time
past had blockaded the place, an attack was ma-'e on the town, and
the French Commandant found himself under the necessity of
tetreuting from it.
On this cecasion the inhabitants attacked the 'remelt garrison,
and were active In forwarding the entry of the Russian troops.
Their zeal on this occasion is highly praised by General Von
Billow. They continued their endeavours for preparing an attack
on the citadel, which was on the point of being made on the
evening of the C6th. when the garrison capitulated, which was 900
men, above tiol of whom, a% prisoner: of war, are to be sent
to Siberia ; but the Officers and 100 veterans, have obtained per-
mission to return to Franee, after having givers their parole of
honour not to serve again (hiring this war, either against the troops

With thelo pieces of artillery found in tie fortress it may imme-
diately he pot in a state of defence ; and this set vice rendered by
General Von bulow and his valiant troops, and for which we are
Paled:tea to than, is Mel ebv rendered of double efficaev. No less
satisfaction is derived from the conduct of the citizens of Flertgoen.

'HIT: BONDING SYSTEM.

•
It should seem that the question on this subject lies in a
nutshell. The simple fact appears to be, that availing him-
s•rif of the Act, .the Merchant has overtraded himself; has thus
locked up his own capital, and appears now to wish to
pate that which Government would receive in the shape of
duties. This is a principle doubly injurious to the state and
the individual; and we cannot but applaud Ministers for
putting a stop to a system that would, if its abuse were con.
tinned, place the command of many foreign markets in the
power of a few large capitalists, and thus enable them to feed
the home markets, and procure exorbitant profits to make up
corresponding losses, occasioned by excessive. speculation.
This desire for exorbitant profit may be gratified to a stilt
veafer extent, as the Bank are, we believe, in the habit of
lcnding on goods under the King's lock. So that the vil is
inci east d in a most alarmi►►g degree, both to the consumer
and the revenue. The former pays'a mo►e exorbitant profit—
the latter suffers in a similar degree. This appears to be tl►e
true state of the case; and it is only for Ministers to judge
of the titme proper to terminate the system as it is, and after
it, so as to prevent a like inconvenience for the future.
However it is possible that the meeting on the lOth instant,
will produce some facts to clear up points on which the par-
ties are now at issue.

Thursday French Papers to the Ist inst. were received.
According to the intelligence from Vienna the Congress was
to be composed- of Austria, Russia, England, Prussia, Sweden,
Spain, and Portugal, who would unite to them France; the
other Powers were to have no voices. Nothing, however,
has yet transpired with any certainty respecting the delibera-
tions. The.note delivered by Talleyrand, insisting that other
powers ought to return to the status of 1792, as well as
France, is said to have.been coldly received, and the Paris
Joutnais seem to betray rather a tone of disappointment.
It is said that in answer, it was intimated to the French Am-
bassadors that if they persisted in interfering with the rela-
tions of the Germanic Powers, they might receive their pass-
ports, which would be ready whenever they chose to apply
for them.—Amongst the rumours mentioned, it is said that
each of the great Allied Powers has agreed to keep on foot
60,000 men, to maintain tranquillity on the Continent. It
is also stated that the Emperor of Austria has refused the
title of Emperor of Germany. A report is noticed that
the Congress at Ghent was to. be transferred to Vienna.—
The Emperors of Russia and Austria are not only on the most
friendly terms, but they taKe particular pains to afford public
demonstrations of an attsachment not merely political but
personal. At the great military fete on the 18th ult. the
Emperor Alexander, who had been at the side of the Austrian
L Emperor, suddenly galloped off, raced himself* the head of
London, England, 1814-11-06

it was from him that " they expected the most interesting
" and the quickest news." The moment "so much de-
" sired had an ived. The wisdom, prudence, and discretion
characterizing the pollen of Louis the Eighteenth must cause
44 a general explosion in France ;" if it had been retarded .by
" political difficulties, the course of triumph will only Le the
" more rapid, and Re most astonishing events say be

" predicted.
We think that at this moment, we confer no small share
of favour on that polite and accomplished print, in thus
calling to the recollection of our Readers, its admirable
and .mathematically correct prophecies. It serves also to
evince how extensive and accurate were its sources of infor-
mation as to the state of public opinion in France.
If such is the nature, such the character of the channels
through which information is conveyed to the people of
Great Britain, ought that profound ignorance of foreign af-
fairs, that total forgetfulness of the actual state of things,
of those changes effected in the minds of men by the
French Revolution, to
.be a matter of surprise ? Are our
mercantile misfortunes to excite astonishment, if our spe-
culations are founded on information from sources like these,
sources alike able and wiling to deceive, for purposes of the
most degrading nature—the rousing the feelings of the mul-
titude, and giving vent to those malignant passions which
constantly rage in their own breasts ?
To this ,cause may be attributed all our failures in negoel
ation ; for the Statesman in his closet appears to be as liable
to the impulse, as the coal-heaver in the pot•house. Thus, as
Lord Bolingbroke observes, what we gain in war, we lose in
negociation. We fight, it should seem, for fighting sake,
as has been most admirably exemplified in Spain and Portu-
gal. What earthly benefit has been derived from the mil-
lions of money spent, and the thousands of lives sacrificed
in those countri'es.. At Lisbon, or at Madrid, the French
would now be hailed as deliverers ; and, •it is a fact of no
small importance, that the French government is so much
impressed with the idea of its interference being called for,
that the O'Firrels, the Urquijo's, &c. are at this moment at
Paris and allowed pay. What their conduct was to a British
army we must all recollect; and the recollection is painful.
All this is to be ascribed, either to our ignorance of the
character and institutions of the countries that we have been
so busy in delivering for the past five years ; or, from a bi-
gotted attachment to old and injurious establishments.
We go to Portugal—will you buy our cottons ? To Spain,
will you give us leave to trade to your American settlements ?
Have you an Inquisition ? Does oppression stare you in the
streets ? Does the country abound in hateful monopolies ?
Give us but permission to tra'Je, and all these abuses shalt
cei, for the people We do not care.

. -
Pat is papers to Tuesday last are arrived. The Debates on
the Emigrant property had closed, after having excited the
eleenest interest and attracted the attention of a vast number
of stt angers.
In these papers are to he found a curious article, purport.
ing to ye been received from Vienna. soting that "they
are mak int!' war ;;t the Cottgres upon the Cabinet of England,
as England made it upon Buonaparte. Ile wished to extend
his despotism over the ‘v hole Continent, and at the Congress
they wish to persuade England to renounce the supremacy
she is exercising over every sea: but will they be able to
persuade her ?" The Courier says, they will not be able to
persuade her, and also exptesses its belief that the Allies have
not made any attempts, however Talleyrand may have tried
to induce them. The Courier then questions the right of
the Allied Powers to interfere, and to prove it, quotes the
r,:!ciAsti' le of the Treaty of Paris nut this treaty, it should
sippear, appointed the Congress for a purpose very different :
It runs thus:—
" Mt. 32. Within a period of two months, all the Parties who
have been engaged on both sides in the prt sent war, shall semi Ple-
;nipotentiaries to Vienna, in order to regulate, in a Gen ral Con-
greQs, the arrani4emeats necessary tor completing the dispobitions of
the present Treaty."
But, says The Courier, •
" Does imy diNelsitions relate to the maritime gnesiion,

ereise of maritime riglits with the despotism which Buonaparte cx-
frci,ed over the Continent, arc equally impudent and absurd. His

batteries of so short a distance that the French Commander
surrendered at discretion.—(Vide Holmes's American Annals,

and ,the troops under the gallant General kempt will enable

Continues. The accounts from the Maine state, that Talley.;
rand has been informed, that " as soon as the Ambassadors
" of Fra►►ce sheaved any other than peaceable sentiments, and
" attempted to interfere in the Relations to be established,
" their Passports were ready whenever they chose to apply
for them." This indeed looks like war, and particularly
when we hear certain papers talk in the old strain, of
" the true policy being to hind down France." Surely this
is not again to be attempted ! We fear the loss of the Ne-

but on this subject we have detailed our sentiments in our

POLITICAL DIS2UISITION.

THE CESSION OF FLANDERS TO HOLLAND.

There now appear to be many reasons for believing that
the assembly of Sovereigns atVienna will break up without hay—
ing achieved any useful purpose. Hence, it cannot be either an
vninstructive or a useless- task to attempt to trace the causes
of its failure. Perhaps there may be some persons who will
say, that regarding it in the same light as they did the ordi-
rory political events of the day, they never expected any
other result. Those are sage politicians and accurate ob-
servers. But, there is another class of persons, who imagined
that because the Allies had reached Paris, that France was
completely hors de conk:l. These people trusting to the
representations of the violent party papers, really believed
that country to be in a complete state of exhaustion, and, that
she would not be able for many years to re-occupy her place
on the political theatre of Europe.
We must all recollect the nonsense issuing from that
diurnal volcano of abuse, intemperance, and party spiri •
the Times, previous to the peace at Paris; en passant, it is
impossible not to recollect the abuse of the Bourbons by their
fainous letter-writer Vetus.

On the 27th January, 18 14, in a paper headed, " the
means taken by the Bourbons for recovering the throne of
their ancestors," they professed to demonstrate three grand
uths. The first was, that Buonaparie had no efficient means
of defence or resource ; that he was abhorred and had no par-
tizans, but such as beheld their own personal ruin in his
fate'.

The second grand truth was, that even weak as he was,
the means employed against him were inappropriate. The
absence of the Bourbons arrested the progress of the Allies.
In their name " there was a tower of strength." "There was
a just inquietude in the minds of the people on the subject
of the march of foreign troops among them without a Bour-
bon, without Louis the longed fur, at their head. The white
cockade once hoisted, it was to be the signal for its uniform
adoption." Its adoption was uniform among the old ladies,
and the young children, and our sapient demonstrator of
grand truths must allow the exception (it is an unimportant
one) of the male part of the population of France.
The third grand truth was, that the Princes were ready
44 toy to the succour of Franey." This grand.truth was sup,
potted by the important fact, that the Duke de Berri was in
ouch a hurry " to fly to the succour of France" that he tra-
velled to the coast in a stage coach ; but, the ground was
so slippery that he was twice overturned. And, so sanguine ,
was the classical writer of the Tithes, as to the eventual result
of his three grand truths, and the efforts of the Mouse of
Bourbon, aided by the Duke de Beal iu the stage coachilhatb.

PO LICE.

igr.rmAr.L.—A Scotehman was charged by an Hibernian watch-
man with having stolen a tub of butter. The watchman said he
stoi,red Prisoner in St. Paul's Clenrch yard the preceding night
u.vi!li !Ile tub on his shoulder. He asked him what he had got time?
and be said " a cat," upon which the watchman ,xamined it, and
foto:d ;t contained butter ; he then, conceiving the prisuncr had at-
tereptcii to deceive him. lodged him in the watch-house.
ThP prisoner, who spoke with a broad northern dialect, defender!
most clearly from the accusation thrown on his character ;
and it turned out, that his detention was solely attributable to tl,e
ioanner in which lie pronounced the ward kit, the tub in his posses-
sicn tiling what is called in the north a kit of butter. He was or
cutir!.e di,cliarized. •

A b;:lter, re;idizig in tlae borough, was fined 101, and costs, f►,r
havinu in his possession a quantity of alum. It appeared that May ,
the officer, went to the detcu►laut's house to weigh his hr► ad, and
in the bakehouse, concealed under a trough, found a paper bas, con-
taining about twelve om►uce• of alum, and also a qnantit), of potatoes,
ready prepared for mixing with 11w flour. The defendant said no•
thing in eNcnFe, except that he vas only doing as all other bakers
did. lie paid his fine and was diccharged.
