Since Sunday last every thing has been in motion
here in consequence of the arrival of the English
Expedition on our coast. The fleet which was at

The telegraphs are in [notion twice every twenty-
four hours. Intelligence from Antwerp leaves no
doubt respe&ing the plan of the enemy, which ap-
pears to be to direEt his main force towards Flanders,
in order to undertake soniethinz against the fleets
and arsenals at Antwerp and Flushing. Tops are
marching from ell sides towarjs the west.

We understand that before the arrival of the Eng-
lish, the fleet At Flushing was removed up the
Scheldt towards Antwerp. The enemy has already
appeared at I-lelvoetsluys and the Brill. It is hoped
that they will not enter the Maes. The most per-
feet tranquility and order prevails here.

spelling the english fleet and the Mate of t.lle. Island
of Walcheren.

WRIESTE, JULY 10.—On the 6th, 7th, and Bth,
a corps of Austrian troops and some armed pea-
sants occupied the heights round this town, and
threatened to enter it. They were, however, driven
back with loss.

At the sate: time an English frigate approached
the batteries, to, support the attack of the Austrians;
but the wind failing, she was so handled by our bat-
teries that she was compelled to employ, her boats to
tow her out. On this occasion the Officers of the
Aussiaq squadron directed the batteries.

The district ot. Santa Croie has , been subjeEled to
military execution, in consequence of three French-
men having been, arrested there and delivered up to
the enemy.

" PARIS, JULY 27.—1 f every thing did not give
us hopes of a speedy peace, and if the war is to
be renewed, Austria would see all her resources
confined to the population of Bohemia, whii,,t

the Emperor NANLEON, independently of the
inexhaustible resources of his inttnente territories,
would find even in the heart of Austt:-,1 weans so
much the more calculated to complete her ruin, as all
the insurreaions will have been completely put down
during the Armistice."—Journal de Paris.

- " FRANKFORT, JULY 28.—The armies are in pre-
sence of each other, but they are taking repose, and
we hope that it will lead to a solid and durable peace.
