FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, Dec. 13.—The English Lord Cath-
cart, British Ambassador to the Court of Russia,
arrived here yesterday, on his return from St. Pe-
tersburgh.
AMSTERDAM, Dec. 7.—Last Friday morning an
express arrived from the Hague to the Police office;
the next morning Mr. %Viselius, the Director Ge-
neral of the Police, arrived from the Hague, and
had im:oediately a long conference with the Secre-
tlry of the Police Office, M. B de Tallee. After
which the latter tool• passports, and set out on Mo
day post for Paris. It is not doubted here, but that
this sudden journey of M. Tallee is relative to an
affair which has been often mentioned, and is still
involved in mystery. We learn from the Hague,
that M de Wisebus had on Wednesday last a eon-
fire we of some hours with the Minister of Justice,
M. Van Maanan , and that on Friday the Minister
went two or three times to the residence of M.
Wise Hos,

llAoue, Dec. 10.—Recent accounts from Am-
stdrdam give some infiirmation respecting the two
persons arrested by superior authority, of whom
we have already spoken. One, who was arrested
under the name of V. D. M. and whi is confined
under a guard at the hotel de Hamburg, is not Mr.
Vander Meuten, but Mr. B. of the family of that
name, very well known at Leyden, and who lows
Lehi important posts in the Magistracy.
In 1813, Mr. B. executed the functions of Se-
cretary at Zurphen. On the arrival of the Cos-
sacks lie performed some services, for which he was
rewarded with the Order of the Belgic Lion. The
reason of his quitting his post in tie town of Zur-
phen is not well known ; but it is certain that a
Rule time after the Revolution, in 1813, lie resided
a long time at Brussels as a private individual,
where he was intimately connected with Mr. B.
lately arrived at Lisse, younger son of Mr, L. R.
B. who in 1815 distinguished himself as a zealous
partizan of the existing order of things.
In the saintlier of 1818, these two persona were
fur a short time at Aix-la-Chapelle and Spa, where
they received marks of kindness from a distinguished
personage. They left those parts together, for
Paris, where they settled, making, however, fre-
quently, each separately, a journey, sometimes to
Brussels, and then lately to Amsterdam, till they
were arrested, some weeks since in the latter city.

AUGSBURG. Deo 3.—None of the changes in
the Bavarian Ministry, of which so much has been
said, have et taken place. The promotion of M.
de Monteglas to an ancient dignity (that of Chan-
cellor of the State) becomes still more problematical,
though it has already been announced as positive.
Rome, Nov. 18.—It is generally reported that
Messrs. Schmitz, Gruclenbueg, and Turekheim, the
Envoys cf the German Princes, will soon return to
Rome It is sold.:tl, that M. Niebuhr, the Prus-
sian Minister of Rome, has received fresh instruc-
tions ; and that M. de Itheden, Minister of Hano-
ver, has received orders to accelerate his negoti-
ations ; whence it is presumed, that the Congress
of Carlsbad recommended to the Protestant Sove-
reigns, to conclude agreements with the Holy See,
and to put an end to the manifold comp Lints of
their Catholic subjects, respecting religious matters-
It is probable that both parties will be content
with the preliminary Conventions, principally for
the nomination of Bishops, which is the essential
point. "he Protestant Sovereigns of Germany
have never ceased to grant to their Catholic sub-
jt.i.sts all the rights compatible with the sctnal system
of Government, and with the rights of their sub-
jects. The difficulties which impede a Convention
do not erise from them, bnt from the nature of the
affair itself.
