Another day's French Papers, and a further ar-

"• 13HUSSELS, Jay. 24.—The accounts which
we receive from the French frontiers are very
stra.nrye and inexplicable. France prosecutes the
military preparations with more activity than was
•at tirst,:stipposed ;' the corps are made complete,
nay, even_ more than cOmplxte ; the cavalry is re-
mounting,--the magazines are. filling, and they are
constantly at *oak on the arsenals. 'The orga-
nization of the National Guard is continued.—
on-the other side, we,obserVe,-, that France
has evacuated the Duchy of BOuillon, which lies
on the frontiers of the Ardennos. The Prince
d'Auvergne is every moment expected from Eng-
land, to take-possession of. the Duchy,- which Was
been in .the hands of the French ever since 1789.
The inhabitants of that little country have solemnly
celebrated the return of their independence. Seve-
ral detachmefits of Prussian troops who were eau-
.
toned in that -part have again
,received orders to
evacuate that. part of the Belgian proVinces,. an l
of Liege; on the frontiers of the above-Mentioned
Duchy. - • .

We flatter ourselves, according to accounts
from Vienna from good authority, that if unhap-
pily war shouhl recommence, as some still fear, all
tireSt h ian provinces on the left bank oh he Maese
will be declared neutral ; that a military cordon will
be established from Venloo to the French frontiers,
and of another from Namur to Newport; that,
in this case, a very large reinforcement of English
and Hanoverian troops ‘vill increase the means of
securing our safety and independence.
" lßons-tr-Duc, JAN. 20.—Troops of different
nations continue to march through here. Lately
a detachment,of 300 French prisoners passed
through : their healthy looks, good cloathing,
and cheerful Manners, would hardly let
.us believe
that, they came front the Most juhospitable climates
of the North : Several of them were already de-
eorated'Avith the Order of the Lily.

NADLEs, JAN. 1 .-NOthilig seems to an-
nounce that his Majesty will place his army•on a

been spread abroad.—The state of his Afaiesty!ss

prayers have therefore been put up in sey.eral

American Papers to the Mb December afford
Ili a few extracts.—A continuation of the official
Papers from Ghent is much too long 'for in-
sertion to-day, and, indeed, has now very little
interest. Some accounts from General JACI:SON,
at Pensacola, are of the same description.—
When the main attack is made in that
quarter, we shall be glad' to hear of this
boasting Charlatan. • These Papers contain
abundant proof of the state of things' which
we long since anticipated. No sooner was

his reasoning upon some of these points was so-

introduction of them seems to that he is
not whollv insensible to the opinion of mankind,
