BRUSSELS AND FRANKFORT PAPERS.

GHENT, OCT. 24.,.;-•We learn :from Antwerp
•
that the American frigate the Neptune will getaaii
to-day or to-morrow for Brest, where she is. to
wait, at all events; for the American Legation . -
This circumstance, added to the sending on board.
of the frigate a part of the furniture of the hotel
occupied by the Legation, had 'given rise to-many
conjectures ;• but, hitherto, we caneaffirm, that
there is not the least reason to fear the rupture of
the negociatioris : on the contrary, the best un-
der Standing continues to Prevail' between the ne-
,gociators of the two nations. The American
Ambassadors, on their return from their tour to
our principal cities, have been invited to a ban-
quet, which the English Ambassadors will give
next Wednesday at their hotel.
SWITZERLAND, OCT,' "16.—M. (le Schrant, the
Minister of Austria; atter having exchanged some
notes wish the Government of Berne, and on be-'
ing refused satisfaction tor the 'affront Which he has
received, has left Berne, and arrived on the I Ith
at Zurich. The particulars of this affair are not
exnetly known. The Deputation of Berne has
:referred it to the Diet, which has communicated
it -to all the Foreign .Ministers .at Zurich. It is
affirmed that this affair is connected with the ar-
rest which took place at Berne of some persons
of distinction of Friburg, who, furnished with
letters from the Ministers of England and Russia,
intended, on their return from Zurich to Friburg,
to-call on the Austrian Minister at Berne.

. BRUSSELS, OCT. 26.--A public print contains
the following article, under the head of Geneva :
Joseph Buonaparte has just taken :flight. For
some mOnths he has been building a wall, -four
leagues in circumference on his estate at Prangin,
when one day last week he disappeared at once.
It is supposed that a suspicious correspondence,
addressed to him, having been seized by the French•
custon►-house officers, he has judged it prudent to
withdraw, and to leavelliswall unfinished.

Dear Sir, •
PH Et Extraordinary Cure 1 liave.lately received

in gratitude to make known to the- Public, the wonderful ef-
teats of your most salutary means in disorders of pain. • In

(when under a CoUsie of Mercury fur a Liver complaint), I
was attacked with a most excruciating pain in the back and
right hip, which in the course of six days reudered me inc4pa-
hie of following my usual employ. in this siteation I applied
to a_Aeighbouring Surgeon, who recommended an external
appMation, which I perseveted in usiug' for about five
'eeks.: finding my pain still continue with the same
degree of violence, and my strength very much decreas-
ed, at the request of my friends, 1 applied, and was adunt-
tati into St. 'fhotuas's I.lußpital, where I continues' for about
six weeks, strictly adhering to every direction laid down,
without finding the least relief; in fact," was uow become
{from the continual agonising pain) so reduced in strength as
to be incapable of walking witliont the assistance of a stick;
when, -.fortunately hearing of the wonderful cure your Me-
dicines had effected ou toy neighboer, Mr. Dowling, (in Case
resolved on making application toalte same means, hut
with' stronger hopes than expectations of deriving any be-
nefit, though, to my great joy and surprise, in less thou
half an hour from the- time I commenced the first •appli-•
cation of the Medicines, found myself 'so much relieved, as
to be enabled to witlk home without a stick, .and with
very little pain, by continuing the Lotion and' Pills fur one
month, was perfectly freed from every'symptotu of the dis-
ease ; but this is not all for which I ant ohliged—the. Liver
Complaint which I had been suffering tinder for more than
five years, and had resisted the strongest preparations of
mercury, hied other means presctibed by several of the most
eminent Medical Practitioners, was completely cured by
taking five or six boxes of your Antimerctrial Bilious Pills.-

MR. KEMBLE.

Never since the days of GARRICK have we wit-
nessed so ardent a tribute of public esteem as at-
tended the triumphal entry Of KEMBLE, on Satur-
day last, at this Theatre, after an abseace of two
seasons. The moment. he appeared, an universal
burst of acclamation took place. and continued
for sinne minutes. On his entrance, a laurel wreath
waS thrown on the stage from one of the up:Jer
boxes, accompanied, as we understood • with some
complimentary lines. He received these .:ratifying
testimonies of public favour wi!li modest di_aiity,.
but with evident emotion: He the.l proceed-
ed in representing the • character of Coriolanirs,
,:and never have we seen him pertorm it triih
a higher degree of excellence, Weed, A's eon -
ceive that, admirable as he has alo:ly, been in
tepresenting this character, ht. Appeared to stilt
greater advantage on this ocrlsioe, a circum-
stance for which it is not difficult account, for as
he is 'known to be incessant in the study of his
profession, the natural result must of course be nut
increase of knowled e, yet it may be thlded, that
this increase of knowledge, and co.!seieirhtk of
judgment, has by no means impaired .the general
spirit of his performance. No passage came
tardily but, on the contrary, all were marked
'hy therequisite energy and exprwsion. His de-
portment was throughout animated, graceful, and
dignified, and he seemed resolved to make the
fullest return in his power for the fervent Avelcome
with which be was received. The following pas-
sage uttered by. Menenitts, warmly adopted by
the audience, and referred to the great Performer
before them :

" Welcome,
" A curse begfria tery root of his head
" That is not glad to set thee."

Here the applause again broke forth with re-
novated zeal, but KE:4BLE, with his usual goad
sense, did not apply it to himself, but persevered
itr his character as soon as silence was -restored.—
It is but justice to the performers in general to
say that they all exerted themselves wit..l) great
zeal, particularly EGERTors and
.13LaNcHARD,
who were very prominent in drifiifius and Mene-
nius. It is hardly necessary to add that the
Theatre was crowded to o%erflowing in all quar-
ters.

OLD TAJLEY•

FOiwar NOTES.
Oa Sattirday Thomics Smith was indicte4 for
uttering four il.•aotes, purpdaing to be issued by
the Mink ()Ma-Islam!, well knowing them to he
forged. Me rata was proved by several wit-
nesses.

. Joseph Harper, Engraver to the Bank, looked
at the four notes issued by tl►e prisoner, and said
they had .not been engraved at all. They had
been executed principally with a pen and ink, and
the other parts with a camel-hair pencil. They
were all excellent imitations of a genuine note;
lieliad no doubt they were all made by. the same
hand ; the signatures and dates were the same.
Mr. Jastice BAILEY having summed up the evi-
dence, the :Tory withdrew, and after a short al).-
.senac, returned with a verdict of guilty—Death.

PARIS, JAN. B.—A merchant in, Paris, leas this
morning communicated to us-the following letter,
which he has received. frpm one of his corre-
spondents at AntWerp, and which we literally
copy
" Intelligence•from Breda .announces to
that that- town and- its environs are a prey to. all
the horrors of war.. devastation, 0-
lage, horrors of every kind—these are what an
uncurbcd soldiery bring with their. All the shops
and houses have been shut up. The men and wo-
men dare not go out, for fear of experiencing the
vilest treatment. The Cossacks, by way .of pre-
ference, put' their horses ;if the best furnished-
apartments. All the houses are filled with smoke."

- This is the manner in which our enemies con-
duo themselves in Holland. What roust we ex-
pect from them, if Prance does Tint p_r_esep_t_rto
them a rampart of iron ?
LIEGE, JAN. 4.—A letter from Cologne of the

men, were completely beaten, and he has' lost
300 prisoners, and one cannon. - -

thought that a few days after his Majesty will de-
part to place himself at the head of his army.

MOST MELANCHOLY EVENT.

KELSO, JAN. 17.—1 t is this day—our painfol.
,duty to relate the following deplorable event,
which took place ea•FTi on Sunday Morning, at Mr!
.HENRY OLIPHANT'S farm of Eckf,itil.7--Allitt,
threi o'clock a fire broke out in the du.re!lfiir'
house, in which were Mrs. Oliphant, her soli,
Mr. Henry Oliphant, and Mr. Adam Archibald of
Sharplaw. , Before an alarm was given, anal the
inmates were awakened, the bbsise was so •cunt'
pletely on fire, that escape was rendered nenrlY
impossible, and Mrs.
.Oliphant, we lament to
state, perished in the flames ! Mr. Archibald, bee
nephew, who had got out wlth. tnitc. difficulty,
eager to save his aunt, rushed again into
building, and. almost instlintly perished ; and
son, who, wounded and scorched, had made
escape by a window, was prevented only by the,
forcible but humane interposition of those firoilo
him from rushing after, and s!iaring the welkin'
choly fate of his mother and friend. The !loose
was entirely,consumed, together with all its coir
tents. The bodies in a state scarcely recognis3_,'
ble, were with much difficulty got okit
'course of the day. This event, from the respect'
lability of the unfortunate sufferers, and the es°
teusive circle of their relatives and friends, I:0
produced 4 general feeling cif deep distress. Nei'
ther the cause of. the tire, which was accident/lb
nor the place where it first broke out, have beco
accurately ascertained.
