PARE, SEPT.- 2 1 .—The Duke of Otra.uto is no.
,Jonxer a Minister : all the Jonrnals have already
announced this fact ; we ourselves should have
announced it yesterday, were it not for a circum-
stance which deserves a word of ciplanatioo ;
it.is highly necessary that we say why we
have been the last.to publish a piece of-intelli-
gence to which all the world", from different mo-
tives, seems to attach 'so great importance.

It is known, or rather some people know, that
there is in existence a commission concerning the
Liberty of the Press, created for the 'purpose of
watching over and indulging the individual ca-
price of the members who compose it, aid for ar-
bitrarily restraining the use or_it—foi• institutions
.of that kind have a certain Alegree of eclat ‘for'tche.
first 4oments of theirexistence, and soon sink
into that obscurity I) whioh Pley•loye to envelope
tliemselves,because that obscurityserves to Veildver
all their irregtdhrities. We shall, therefore, make
Stlitid of disclosure by -informing the public, that it
tvas this almost mysterious commission, which in
its wisdom thought proper by a special favour to
prevent tts from publishing- what was no linger a
secret,' and which all the other papers were to an-
nounce on the following day. . • ~
It would be difficult tit explain this cinultiet
otherwise than by the fault and inconveniences
which are necessarily attached to every establish-
men.of this kind ; the.arb:trary shows itself without
disguise, and one act of this kind would be quite
sufficient to shew of how touch consequence it is
not to substitute, evedfor a moment, the will of
a few individuals in place-of the spirit of the laws;
for this will cannot always be free from caprice.;
and however upright, however firm it May be
suli-
posed to be, it is impossible that it should not
sometimes give way to considerations which are
no less incon§isteut with the ditty of the Censors
than with the interest of the Writers.

We should seem to be too much taken up with
ourselves, and to yield too much to the per-
sonal irritation which we feel at this itoment, if
we were to give way to all the raections which
this subject calls forth :—we may ret urn to it
and for the present, we would rather rest in the
hope that we shall soon see all these transitory
irregularities removed and find hi their place con-
stitutional order.

We are this evening assured that the Duke of
Otranto is appointa Minister Plenipotentiary to
the Xing of Saxony.
A Journal asserts that the Treaty between the
andFtanceas to be signed
this day. We
do not believe that this is true, and as we have al-
ready said, it is ilthable that the Treaty will not
be signed till after the openinc of the Chathhers.
Rapatel, late Aide--de-Canip to General
Moreau, is appointed Colivlel of .the Legion of
Arriege ; and Ferrsl, Colonel of that of the
Creuse..

This mer contains an account of the trial be-
fore the -Cour d'Assisil, of two low blackguards,
'a man and a female, for tumultuous proceedings in
the beginning of July, commitrffigontrages against
-a respectable clergyman, and threatening to assas.
sitiate the King. They ha're been condemned to
banishment for five. years...

FLANDERS MAIL,

[RECEIVED TIIIS MORNING.I

AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, SEPT. 19.---The following
has just been published here :
" At four o'clock this morning we have received
from Iris Royal Highness Prince Augustus of
Prussia, the news that in the night of the 14th of
this month, the town of Mecly-Bas, situated below
the fortress of Mont-Melly, was carried by as-
sault.by the Prussian troops under Gen. Haake ;
that the fortress of Lougwy capitulated on the
15th, upon the same conditions as have been
granted to the fortresses that capitulated before,
and 'that in consequence this important place will
be occupied by the said troops in the morning of
this-day, the 18th inst.

RAGosa, AuG. 30.—The warlike Bishop of
the Montenegrins, who seized on this place,
'and :took the whole Anstrian garrison pria'.
sones, is still in peaceable possession of this
place and its territory. He has levied a contribu-

tion of 20,000 sequins to meet the expenccs of

his troops, amounting to 1200 men. But this
state, of things- cannot last. Corps of Austrian
troops are on their march ; they seem to wait till
their number is considerable enough to strike a
decisive blow.

VIENNA, SEPT. 9.=--By the last accounts from.
Poland, the preparations Making-for the rc-tsta.

pidly. The Provisiothd Government has been re-
garded as a necessary transition to introduce this
change.

turn of the Emperor Alexander, the Government.

ing. This will probably be the time also that
