BRUSSELS PAPERS.

fintrsscr.s, SEPT. 21.—His Majesty has resolved that the
duty which was levied on the arrival of ships, for the benefit of
the school of navigation at Amsterdam, shall be abolished from
the Ist of January, 1825.
We know the circumstance of the departure of M. Vander.
fosse, Governor of the province of Hainaut, for Paris ; but he is
not gone thither, as one of our journals states, on a special mis.
sion, to negotiate a treaty of commerce with France. The ob.
jest of his•journey is to furnish Baron de Pagel, Ambassador of
the Netherlands,• who is intrusted with the negociation relative
to such a treaty, with all the information which he may have
on this subject, as having a perfect knowledge of the two southern
frontier, provinces of which he has governed one, and now
governs the other, and being equally well acquainted with
every thing that concerns the commercial interests, of others.
Mercantile letters from Frankfort on the Maine states,
that silks, wool, and leather, have been in demand at high
prices, and that wool has been sold at an advance of 15 to '2O
per cent.
FnanxvonT, SEPT. 20.—Nothing certain is yet known of
the facts contained in the official report which 411 r. Ileffelin,
the extraordinary Commissioner, has addressed to the Govern-
ment of the Grand Duchy of Batten, on the investigations and
researches which he was ordered .to make at Frinurg in the
Brisgau, relative to the revolutionary intrigues, time ratmfications
of which extended front the interior of Germany to this Uni.
versity, situated at time sentiment extremity of the Grand Duchy
of Baden. M. Ileffelin's report had been communicated to the
central Committee at Mentz, and we are very desirous to learn
the measures that are going to be adopted with respect to the
Universities of Baden.

GENEVA, SEPT. 15.—The day before yesterday being the
anniversary of the union of Geneva with Switzerland, all the
militia of the canton, to the number of above 5,000,men, were
under arms in the plain of Plain-Palais, under the walls of the
city. The chief Syndic, at the head of all the magistrates, de.
livered to the Commander of the 7th battalion their new colours,
bearing the white cross of the Confederation on a yellow and
red ground. The militia exercised for several hours, and their
fine appearance, and the precision of their movements, were ge.
nerally admired.
Another steam-boat has been launched on our lake, and ap-
pears to fulfil the expectations that were entertained of it.
The Representative Council of Geneva has adopted, by a
large majority the resolution of this Diet relative to the extra.
ordinary surveillance of strangers, and the police of the press.
This branch of the police has been ninth simplified at Geneva
within these two years. Nothing is now printed here except
religious hooks, and a sort of periodical account of so much of
the debates in the Legislative Body as it is thought proper to
communicate to the public of Geneva.
BERLIN, SEPT. 14.—The Governments of East and Vest
Prussia have just given the strictest orders to the officers of
health and police, to pay the greatest attention to the communi-
cations with Moldavia and 'Walachia, where the plague still
rages. These precautions are the more necessary, because since
the anarchy that prevails in those principalities, the quarantine
establishments have been abandoned by the officers. The or.'
ders are extremely rigorous, both in the Russian Army of Ob-
servation and the frontier cordon of Austria, to prevent the
passage of people, animals, and goods, so long as this crisis shall
continue.

GRAND REVIEWS.

Duntax, SEPT. 23.—Yesterday morning, at half-past ten
o'clock, the troops in Dublin garrison were reviewed before the
Right Hon. G. CANNING, under the orders of Sir Colquhoun
Grant. The troops consisted of the Royal Artillery, the 4th,
or Royal Irish Dragoons, the 9th Lancers, the 3d Guards, the
78th Highlanders, and the Rifle Corps. They went through
the whole of the elegant new movements in Echelon, throwing
out videttes, skirmishing, charging, retreating, forming into
solid squares, and receiving on the human chereaux dc frieze
the charges of artillery. The scene was amazingly brilliant
anti imposing, and was much heightened by the serenity of
the weather. Shortly after twelve o'clock the Royal Artillery
and the Regiments of Infantry defiled from the review groun
marching through the picturesque underwood which intervenes
between it and the " long mile-stone," i. e., the 'Wellington
Testimonial, and went through the manoeuvres of a column
retreating from the field, keeing up a running fight. General
Grant then put the 4th Dragoons and the 9th Lancer through
several cavalry movements with great effect; their horses,
having been peculiarly well trained, appeared to answer the
bridle with much ease, and the whole 'passed off much to the
satisfaction and pleasure of Mr. Canning, who, mounted on a
bay charger, and accompanied by Lord Howard de Walden and
Sir Colin Campbell, expressed peculiar satisfaction at the military
spectacle. At a quarter after one the Review terminated, and
Mr. Canning returned to the Vice-regal Lodge. A number of
individuals of fashion were on'the ground ; one party, a family
one, attracted much Interest and observation—the Right lion.

Henry Goulburn's ; the Right Hon. Secretary drove Mrs.
Goulburn and his family, while being seated on an Irish jaunt-
ing-car, of simple but elegant construction, and without any

attendants.

On Monday the garrison of Cork, commanded by that most
estimable officer, Sir John Lambert, was reviewed in the place
of exercise, before Lord Combermere. The garrison was not
numerous, consisting only of the artillery, the lath Hussars,
and filst Infantry ; but they aftbrded an admirable specimen
ofilisciplineand field manceuvres,performed with great rapidity,
precision, and steadiness. The improvements in field exer-
cise introduced by Sir Henry Torrent, were executed with con-
summate skill by the 61st; the solid square was repeatedly
formed in a masterly style, and all the movements of the angles
made in the highest order, and the greatest effect. The solid
square has acquired a prodigious potency, now that it may be
said to be liberated from its old stationary and defensive
principle. It is now moveable to all points, in perfect cohe-
sion, solidity, and order, and presents an attacking power of
irresistible effect, wherever it may not be within the range
of artillery. (luibert's principle of not fixing the bayonet
until an emergency may call for It, is brought into use, and
must add to the efficiency of the firing, and give the soldier
confidence whenever resorteri to. Heretofore this latter effect
was removed by the familiar employment of it on all occa-
sions—while it added to the weight of the musket, and im-
paired the tire, by its tendency to throw the muzzle of the piece
below any meditated level. An immense concourse of people
attended the review alluded to, according to the letter of a Mi-
litary. Correspondent.
Serjeant Haughton, of the 39th is appointed Barrack-Serjeant

ed Lieutenant. Colonel Kelly, C. 11., to the situation of Wive-
tor-General of Barracks in Ireland.
