BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BaussEts, SEPT. 10.—The new Smyrna Jour-
nal (the Smyratan), in its number of the 2d of August, gives
an account of the re-appearance of the Greeks at Ipsara, which
reduces the advantages said to be gained by them to nothing.
The Turks in the island, it says, descrying the fleet as it ap-
proached, had time to embark with all their effects for Scio and
Mytelene, leaving only some small vessels, which the Greeks,
who arrived some hours later burnt. Three or four days after ,
the Ottoman fleet appeared, on which the Greeks withdrew to
the distance of some miles from the island, and on the 22d of
July the fleets remained in sight of each other.
The same journal has a letter from Alexandria, dated) 4th
.July :—" The plague has ceased at Cairo. Some cases now
and then occur to alarm our city, but we hope to be soon re-
lieved from this dreadful scourge. Alexandria has the appear-
ance of a town in time of war. We are crowded with soldiers
Ana sailors, who are eager for slaughter and conquest. The
strictest discipline prevails among the Egyptian troops. The
conqueror of the \Vnchabites (Ibrahim Pacha) son of the Vice-
roy, is General-in-Chief of this fine army. With much pru-
dence and firmness he unites a diffidence of himself, which
makes him listen with pleasure to the counsels that are given
him. Like his father, he is very fond of the Europeans. Ibra.
him Packs will be accompanied by 1,600 infantry, 4,000 cavalry,
and 5,000 Albanians. Two hundred transports are to receive
the provisions necessary for the army, a.park of artillery, and
the mass. The rendezvous is at Mani, in Caramania. The
Commander-in-Chief his accompanied by a great number of
European officers, particularly of Philhellenis, who, disgusted
with the service of the Greeks, had retired to Egypt. To
these preparations the Viceroy had added a very rich military
chest, that Ibrahim Paella may be able to procure whatever he
thinks proper."
FRANKFORT, SEPT. fl.—The Regency of the Bavarian
Circle of the Rhine has addressed a circular note to all the tri-
bunals of the ceuntry, to the effect, that " considering that the
good which the clergy are able to effect, in the exercise of their
functions, depends almost entirely on the degree, of support
which they receive from the civil authorities, they are enjoined
to give all possible co-operation."
Fnow wilE MAINE, SEPT. 7.—We hear that some distur-
bances have taken place at Coburg. The people have long
since entertained a very bad opinion of one of the Duke's fa-
vourites, a Pole by birth; and at last thevy have considered
this man as the chief cause of serious differences between the
Prince and his consort (a Princess of Saxe Gotha). In conse-
quence of these differences, the Princess went to an estate in
the neighbourhood. These circumstances were scarcely known
when the mass of the people took a decided part in favour of
the Princess, who is universally beloved. They repaired in a
crowd to the above-mentioned estate, took the horses from the
carriage, which was ready to proceed further, and brought the
carriage, with the Duchess in it, in triumph back to the ca-'
pital. They then forced an entrance into the Prince's palace,
whither the favourite had retreated, and demanded both that
proper satisfaction should be made to the Princess, and that
the favourite should be given up. It is reported that the Duke
himself was so pressed on by the crowd, that he was obliged to
take hold of one of the leaders to make way through them, and
that the military shewed no great zeal in dispersing the crowd.
In the end tranquillity was restored by some Members of the
Assembly of the States, and some Magistrates who came up
in time. It is affirmed that the affair will be laid before the
Diet.

Sr. PETERSBUIIOII, Atro. 25.—The 29th of this month
is fixed for the departure of his Majesty on his tour to the re-
mote provinces of his Empire, and as far as Orenburg.

THE ARMY.

CONTINUATION of his ROYAL HU/TIM:SS the DUKE '1
of CLARENCE'S VISIT to CHATHAM.
After the review of the Brigade on Thursday, the 9th Inst.
a trial was made of the efficacy of the two different methods of
passing guns, troops, &c. over a rapid stream,. by pontoons,
near Rochester Bridge, at half-ebb, as directed by Lieutenant_
Colonel Past.tY, of the Royal Engineers, as well as by Lieu_
tmant-Colonel Sir James Colleton. The judges were selected
for their abilities and experience, but the result will not be
known till the report is niat:e
The_ Duke of Clarence,
attended by the principal Officerspubolitc'.the Navy on the spot, and
of the forces in this garrison, minutely examined the construc-
tion of both methods. In the evening a ball anti supper, given
by the Queen's Royals, at the Bull Inn, was attended by about
two hundred
room wits tastefully ornamented with warlike trophies, the
people of the highest respectability. The ball
upper end having a transarency with the letter C. surmounted
with a naval crown, in allusion to his Royal Highness; the
floor was elaborately and brilliantly chalked, anti the entrances
hung with A profusion of variegated lamps. The supper was
elegant, and abounded with every thing desirable on such an
Occasion. The dancing was opened by Lady Torrens and Co-
lonel Rolt, of the Queen's, and was kept up till three o'clock.
—On Friday morning his Royal Highness reviewed the Royal
Fusileers, which chiefly performed the evolutions applicable
to Light Infantry, whitili were executed in the usual style of ex-
cellence of that very distinguished Corps, and called forth the
encomiums of the Royal Duke and every military spectator.—
Soon after returning from the field of exercise his Royal
Highness had a Levee of the Officers of the Military Corps and
Departments, at the Commandant's house (Colonel Sir A.
Christie.) At three o'clock .his Royal Highness returned to
the Lines, anti reviewed the Queen's Royals, under the imme-
diate command of their Colonel, Sir Henry Torrens (the Ad-
jutant-General), who put the Regiment through a great many
movements of his 'own new system, all of which were per-
formed with admirable precision, and called forth the highest
praise from his Royal Highness; after which the Puzileers had
the honour of the Royal Duke's company at an elegant dinner.
Oo Saturday morning his Royal highness inspected the Di-
vision of the Royal Marines minutely on the Barrack Parade,
when the Battalion marched past in slow and quick time. After
this, Colonel Campbell had the honour of receiving his Royal
Highness, with a numerous party of Ladies, and Officers of the
Garrison and the Navy, to a most elegant thleunil a la jburchette,
from whence the Royal Duke set out for Busby Park, having
a puny to dinner.

Preparations for the Irish survey are actively going on.—
Detachments of officers are now in various parts of England,
for instruction, and the Director, with one subaltern, have re-
cently arrived in Dublin, to decide on the part to commence,
which beginning
will be in the spring. Twenty of the senior
cadets, from the 'Woolwich Academy, intended for this service,
have been for several months past at Cardiff, on the survey of
that part of the country. They will be assisted by a company
of Ordnance soldiers, taken either from the Artillery or Sappers
and Miners. _

The Viet Regiment has left Halifax for Bermuda, and a de.
tachment, under the command of Major Cole, is gone to Cape,
Breton.

The 72d Regiment,
-which sailed from Plymouth on the Ist

for Leith, on his route to Edinburgh Castle, put into Shields,
by contrary winds, on the 111th instant.
EDINBITIVIII, SEPT. 11.—Thursday the 65th regiment,
now lying in the Castle, was reviewed in Burntstield Links by
Major-General Sir Thomas Bradford. A considerable num-
ber of spectators were on the ground.

Mn. BR.OUGIIAM.—A- paragraph having ap.
peered in several newspapers regarding the place of this gentle.
man's birth, which, though containing. some truth, is in the
material part erroneous, we have been induced.to make parti-
cular inquiry, and we find that Mr. Brougham was born in the
house, No. 21, St. Andrew's Snuare, New Town, in this city,
on the 19th September, 1778• From Mr. Brougham's family
being English, it is generally supposed he was born in the north
of England, but Edinburgh has unquestionably the honour of
having given birth to this great statesman and eloquent advo-
eate.-4 Edinburgh Courant, **pt. 11. )
