BRUSSELS, Nov. 15.

The Canton of Appinzell (Rhodes exterior) has just prohi-
bited its citizens from engaging in the military service of any
foreign power except the Netherlands. The Great Council of
Soleure has ratified the convention with Naples. This is one
of the, few Cantons which have troops in the service of three.
foreign powers.
Nov. M.—The King And Queen, and Prince and Princess
Frederick, and Princess Marianne, returned to the Hague on
the 14th from Amsterdam.

The Ana de la Religion, printed at Paris, has just
made a most brutal attack on the Ministers and several
Public Functionaries of the kingdom of the Netherlands.
Among those who. have not the good fortune to please,
is the Count de C----, one of the most distinguished
Members of the Second Chamber of the States General, not
only as an orator but as a statesman ; it points out this honour-
able Deputy as destined to support, in the second Chamber, the
new laws which will be presented by the Government. While
Me Friend of Religion was publishing this little calumny,
Count de C- was on his way to Italy.
The Courier Franrais conjectures that the journey of Count
de C- may have for its object a special mission to the holy
See, considering the present state of ecclesiastical affairs in our
country. We do not know whether there is any truth in this,
but it is certain that the malice of the Ami de la Religion is a
clumsy falsehood. _ _ _ _ .

No.r 17.—The number of pupils admitted into the school
which have succeeded to those that are suppressel, is 250, and
at Liege 871. A journal of that town says that the number of
scholars is greater than it was before.
Nov. 18.—The Governorof the province of Limburg has ad-
dressed a circular letter to the Magistrates within his jurisdiction,
enjoining them to observe the measures prescribed Ey the King's
decree respecting vaccination. It is said in this circular, that
notice is especially to be given to all persons at the heads of
schools for children who are not vaccinated, are not excluded
from their schools after the Ist of this month, they will be sus-
pended front their functions.

GnEXT, Nov. 7,

,
Yesterday three new bells were christened -in the Parish
Church of St. Michael. The Patron of the first is St. Michael,
of the second St. Gabriel, and of the third' St. Raphael. The
ceremony of baptism was performed by the Rev. Mr. Goethalt,
Canon and Vicar-General of the Bishoprick of Ghent. Hera
follow the names of the three ladies and three gentlemen who
stood sponsors.]—The ceremony attracted a great concourse of
spectators.
While the French Government is losing its popularity by
institutions and measures, which are unsuitable to the spirit of
the times anti the actual state of civilized society, ours continue
to advance in the knowledge of man, and of his physical and
moral wants, and in the judicious employment of means to
satisfy them.
The Government begins to understand the Belgic nation. It
has already made a great progress in securing its prosperity,
and seems not likely to stop in so noble a career. It has still
' much to do before it attains its object, but at least all have the
satisfaction of seeing that it never loses sight of it. Among the
means which it employs, there are some which, though hardly
perceived by the mass of the population, are not the less adapt-
ed to afford it powerful assistance in attaining its ends.
It is well known what fetters were imposed on the periodical
Press at Brussels. Violent, illegal, arbitrary measures, were
not, indeed, employed against it ; but, placed as we are, under
two systems of laws, which are incompatible with each other,
namely, under the rod of iron of the French penal laws, and the
just and liberal empire of our constitution, it was impossible
that there should not be men too accustomed to the one, entirely
to comprehend the spirit of our fundamental law, and who
would see faction and conspiracy whenever they discovered con-
tradiction or criticism of sonic ministerial errors. The torch of
public opinion was in a manner extinguished in the provinces,
where the nature of things had necessarily placed it ; that natural
right, which was a crime under the despotism that formerly op-
pressed us,was still considered and punished asa transgression in a
Constitutional Monarchy, of which it ought to be the firmest
support. It is true the famous Decree of the 20th April, 1815,
issued under the influence of Count de Thiennes, was no longer
employed against authors. It was become too absurd to think
that there would be a single writer who was an enemy to
the existing order of things, but there were still other
French laws, the severe application of which was much less in.
convenient. It is now affirmed, that the Government has just
broken this last Lastrument in the unskilful hands which might
make an ill use of it. It is affirmed (and there are certain
symptoms which induce us to believe it) that most posi.ive
orders have just bean given that the greatest toleration shall be
exercised towards writers who shall confine themselves to point-
ing out public abuses, and criticising the measures of Govern-
ment without attacking the reputation and individual' rights of
the citizens. It is too great and too strong to desire
to revenge itself for an unjust censure, which meets its punish-
ment in the general disapprobation, and too much the friend of
the people not to desire to be enlightened by a criticism which
is always salutary when it is reasonable and well founded.

The following are some of the most important
extracts from the several Indian Papers which
have arrived :
( From the Supplement to the Madras Government Gazette,
July 12.)
His Majesty's ship Liffey, from Rangoon, the 16th ultimo,
has anchored in the Roads since our last report.
Our intelligence from Rangoon, by the Liffey, !s similar to
that received in Bengal—operations were suspended, but no
prospects of peace. There was a report that Sir Archibald
Campbell was about returning to Rangoon for a short time. It
was also said that 300 hackeries and ',heir cattle had been cap-
tured ; possibly the old report which had reached Calcutta. The
Nerbudda being considered out of time, two ships had been sent
in quest of her.
A report it appears had reached Calcutta, that Sir Archibald
Campbell was leaving Prome, with some light troops, in order
to effect an interview with General Morrison.
(From the Calcutta John hull of June :29.)

The latest letters we have seen front Prome, come down to
the 7th instant, at which time the troops under Sir Archibald
Campbell were in great health, with abundance of all neces-
saries, but no prospect of a very speedy employment in the
field. It was said that the Burmans had strongly stockaded
themselves at some distance above Prome ; but that there was
no intention on the part of the General to disturb them, until
the force could move to its ulterior destination. Captain Snod-
grass, the Military Secretary of Sir Archibald, is hourly ex-
pected in the Carron, and is reported to be coming round, in
consequence of some important points connected with the com-
mand of the naval branch of the armament which required ad-
justment.
(From other Calcutta Papers.)
lire have seen letters from Rangoon to the sth instant. They
are extremely meagre of intelligence. They mention the receipt
ofletters from Prome, of the Ist instant, adding—" No news—
abundance of bullocks for slaughter and draught to be had in
the country—no chance of peace."
In this day's report the arrival of his Majesty's ship Tamar
was announced. She left Rangoon the 10th inst. We have
waited till the last moment in expectation 'of being favoured
with some accounts front the army under Sir Archibald Camp-
bell; but with the exception of every thing being quiet at
Prome, and elsewhere in the vicinity of that position, nothing
particular has transpired.—(Calcutta Goy. Gaz.)
His Majesty's sloop Sophie, Captain E. Blackney, has ar-
rived in the river, in a very leaky state. Site sailed from Ran-
goon on the 16th instant, in company with his Majesty's store-
ships Liffey and Tamar, whom she parted with on the 10th in
the Gulf of Martaban, in a heavy gale of wind.—( Calcutta
John Bull.)
We have heard nothing of importance from the force at Ar-
recall by the Highland Chief. The European troops are said
to be in better health than the native, • and less affected by the
climated. A severe gale of wind had been experienced on the •
coast of Arracan. _

( From the Calcutta John Bull of July 2.)
The force under Lieut. Pemberton and Gumbeer Sing has
entered Munnipore, and the British flag is now flying on the
citadel. This news is important, and our readers may rest as-
sured of its correctness. The enemy made no resistance, we are
told, but fled on the approach of our force.
Munnipore, or Alunnipora illanipura, the town of jewels)
is a town in the Burman empire, and the capital of the province
of Cassay. The district in which this town is situated, is
sometimes called the Muggalloo, or Meekly country, and
is the nearest communication between the N.E. extremity of
Bengal, and the N.W. quarter of the Burman territories; but
the route has never before been traversed by Europeans. The
town was captured by the Burmans in 1774, and has ever since
remained tributary to them. An intercourse subsists between
it and the Province of Assam, for, in 179-1, the British detach-
ment which went to Gergong, the capital of Assam, saw there a
body of cavalry, which had arrived from Munnipore.

BRIGHTON, Nov. 20.—The Duchess. of Gloucester loses
no favourable opportunity of taking wholesome exercise in
public, either in her carriage or as a

health and improved and improving spirits. This morning
her Royal Highness, accompanied by Lad v Charlotte Legge,
attended Divine Service at the Chapel Royal, in Prince's-place,
the chief pews of which, above 'stairs, were tilled by our resident
Nobility. Her Royal Highness took a carriage airing subse-
queryly.

Nowrit-WiniT ExrEtirrrox.---The Ueda Dis-
covery Ship was paid °fret Woolwich yesterday, when the sea-
men voluntarily entered into a liberal collection for the Mer-
chant Seamen's Hospital, on board the Grampur.—ln the
evening Captain HOPPNER, and the Officers of his Majesty's
late ship Fury, iv testimony of the hospitality they had expe-
rienced on board the Hecht, after the loss of their own ship.
gave a sumptuous farewell dinner to Captain PARRY, and all
his Officers, at the Freemasons' Tavern, where many loyal
and appropriate toasts were drank, and the evening passed
with much hilarity.—As we understand it is not at present in
contemplation to make any further attempt at Northern Dis-
covery, this may be considered as the closing scene-or finale to
these interesting expeditions ; and we have peculiar pleasure in
recording it, as furnishing the best evidence of the unanimity
and cordiality existing among those employed on the late
voyage. Such feelings, while they sneak volumes in favour of
him who commanded, are highly creditable, and must be par-
ticularly gratifying to all who have been engaged in it.—
(Morning Post.)

A letter from Lisbon, of the 4th instant, states
that the rumour had been revived there of the
King's intention to make Lisbon a free port.
This measure, it will be recollected, has often
been announced before as on the point of being
carried into execution, and as often postponed.
The utmost joy is said to have prevailed at Lis-
bon in Consequence of the conclusion of the treaty
with Brazil.

'!'l►e Mauritius Gazelles, which we have received
to the I 4th of August, contains not a word of
news. Our late regulation with regard to cur-
rency extends to that colony ; but Treasury
n►►tes are permitted to circulate to the amount of
200,000 dollars, each note being good for 100
dollars.

Letters from Riga of the sth inst., received
yesterday, mention that the weather has unex-
pectedly turned to rain, with every appearance
of a long continuance. The roads are in conse-
quence very had, and this circumstance has of
course an unfavourable effect upon the traffic of
the country. The Exchange has risen to ten
11-1 Gths.

LITERATURE.—Dr. SIMMONS, whose merits as
a Biographer are conspicuous in his Life of.
Alturox, and as a Scholar and Poet are equally
manifest in his admirable translation of The
4'neid, and in many original Poems, is said to be
forthcoming, with an Essay on the Life, Writings,
and Genius of SiIIKSPEARE. All that relates to
the life of our great dramatic Poet, we conceive,
is to he found in the scanty sketch of Rows,
but as his genius was inexhaustible, the illustra-
tions of so erudite and able a critic as Dr. S YM.
moNs are likely to prove a valuable addition to
British Literature and a due tribute to the first
of all dramatic Bards.

KELLY AND HIS REMINISCENCES.-If this
lively writer obstructed his road to independ-
ence by his hospitality in the zenith of his fame,
it has turned to good account in the end, for it
brought him into familiar intercourse with the
chief wits of the age, and enabled him to collect
such a store of amusing anecdotes, as have been
highly gratifying to the public ; and his work
has been so successful that he is likely to derive
from it not only well-merited commendation, but
solid advantage.

A deputation, consisting of the churchwarden
and other inhabitants of St. James, Clerkenwell, waited yester-
day on the Rev. Mr. Dn.t.coNr, chaplain to the Loup MAvou,
at the Mansion-House, to present to him the Bishop of Lon-
don's licence to perform the third additional divine service, with
a sermon, in their parish church. This appointment, we be-
lieve, is the first under the Act of Parliament 08 Geo.
And we understand as the result of the interview, that arrange-
ments will be made to admit of the Rev. Gentleman beginning
the new service on the first Sunday of the new year.
NEWSPAPERS.—It IS not generally known that
Newspapers may be put in the post, or given to
the bellman, after five, for a halfpenny, while
letters cost a penny. This notice may be of use
to many who pay a penny for a paper from igno-
rance of the above fact. Newspapers also should
be delivered by the two-penny post for a penny
each, and not two and three-pence, as is too
often demanded.
