[RECEIVED THIS AIORNINQJ

Buysms, OCT. 30.—The Prussian troops are
marching .from the interior of France to the
Northern frontier departments, with the excep-
.tion of Mezieres and Charleville, all the Cham-
pagne is eTacuated, four or 5000 are destined.to
join the garrison of Sedan, and an equal number
to occupy Charlemont. On the other side, as
soon as the. other- conditions of the provisional-
. arrangement are accomplished,, the Prussian
troops are to give up the fortresses of Marien-
burg and Phillippeville to the troops Of the Nethe-
rlands.

The Hanseatic Legion which formed a part of
Lord Wellington's army, is already on its march
home.

We expect several corps of English infantry to
form the garrison of
..this city. It seems, how—
ever, that the head-quarters of the Duke of Wel-
lington will not come home till the French fron-
tier fortresses are occupied by numerous garrisons
of the Allied troops.
BRUSSELS, Nov. I.—lt is affirmed, that for the
security of the southern provinces of Belgium and
of Luxemburg, the folloWing measures have been
resolved upon ;---Our army of 90,000 men is to
.take up a double line of cantonments, extending
from the North Sea to the Moselle.

The Prussians are to form the left wing of this
army; ' and the ali;ed troops under the Duke of
Wellington the centre and the right wing. Threp
strong fortresses, lying behind each other, on the
way to Paris us Valenciennes, Bouchain, end
Cambray, are to be occupied. All the fortresses,
which the Allies are to occupy for five years, are
to be provisioned for several months, tube secure

A Messenger arrived in TOwn from Paris this
morning, hut we do not learn that he brings any

thing interesting.

The Paris Journals of the 3d are entirely silent
upon the reports.from that capital which interest
us most. The Police Minister has.published a
very temperate document, relative to tilt mode
which the 'Executive means to enforce. the
new Law against the Suspected, and the Mi-
nister of Finane, has produced a- Projet for
consolidating the Importation and Consumption
Duties on Colonial Produce. It establsbes a sort
of 'warehousing system, and provides; that the du.-
tics shall not be levied till the goods are taken out
for consumption or re-exportation.
The Ex-Governor of Gaudalonpe.,-Lnrots, has
been transferred to Paris, and Generals Daouwr
and BoYER are mentioned among the newly ar-
rested Buonapartists but whether for old offenetta,
or for a recent conspiracy, as suggested in our
letters yesterday, is not said.

An article on the subject of Spain, in a German
Paper,* has not only called forth the spleen of tile
Morning chronicle, but elicited the reprobation of
the Times. " King FERDINAND, of Spain," says
the former, " seems to have found. an advocate
worthy of his cause in The Austrian Observer."--
" An article from Vienna," says the 'latter,
" snakes a miserable attempt to confound the
friends of Spanish freedom with the conspirators
against French constitutional iherty."
We arc informed, that towards the end of the
world the Lion and the Lamb shall lie down in
peace, and it is another spectacle ominous of our
approaching finale, to see these two journals yoked
together in the same harness., We wonder that one
of them at least is not ashamed of its coadjutor, and
does not begin to suspect the rottenness of the
cause it has espoused, from its knowledge of the
character and objects of its associate ? The Chro-
nicle is consistent. It hates all Kings, and .411
regular Governments. Death cannot save the
first from its malignity ; virtue cannot shield
• the last from its rancour. It does not dis-
guise its love of revolutions ;—it openly prosti-
-totes its columns to the most scandalous produc-
tions of everysforeign traitor whom France, Spain,
Italy, Smith America, or any quarter of the world
contains. It is therefore ..reasonable to expect,
that the Insurgents in Spain should find a friend
and advocate in this common organ of rebellion.
But the other Journal, the ardent supporter of
legitimate rights and ancient institutions—it does
indeed surprize its to meet it equally- zealous in
the auks of faction andlawless revolt.

After the passage we have above quoted from
it, alluding, as we suppose, to THz SUN, it adds—i-

"'Phis is about as caudid as the charges of inconsistency,
which have been brought against us, because we do nut Mace
Louis XVIII. on a level with I,ertiinand VII. or the perjured
Ney with the patriotic Porlicr."

Now,. we beg leave to say, that this was not
the charge we brought. oil Saturday. Our words
are these—

" Nut desiring to compare Ney and Porlier tnetber, fur-
ther than that they were both rebels, and the arguments in
principle alike apply to them, we were astonished that
The Tinta should so warmly espouse the cause of the latter,
while it thus spoke of the former—every word applying to
Spain as weii as to Fiance Ney continues to insist on
the incompetence cf the Court-Martial before which it is
proposed to bring him. ki e should have been shot when be
was caught in fiagrenti eleliuto. Neither Jlarshal, nor Dnke,
nor Peer, can plead privilege in the heat of a rebellion.—
Every man who is seized with arms in his bands against
Sovereign, may be executed on the spot, from the necessary
urgency of the case.'" , •

tVe but it to the candour of theauthor of this pa-
ragraph to say'whether PORLIER Was not thus caught
in fiagronti delicto,' and was not therefore. on his
own sl.ewing, justly liable to be executed oil the
