FLANDERS MAIL

ODESSA, A u G. IL—According to letters from Constantinople
•
pof the 29th of July, very great uneasiness was felt there, be-
cause the people seemed greatly 'irritated at the severe measures
ordered by the Sultan against the authors of the massacre of the
the defenceless Greeks in the environs of Smyrna.
Nothing positive is known respecting the negociations of
Lord Strangford. However, one of the detained Russian ships
was to sail on the 28th of July for this port, and the second
was to follow it in a few days. The captains of the other vessels
were negociating with the agent of the Pacha of Egypt to sell
their vessels to him. But it was still hoped that the efforts of
the Noble Lord would at length cause some changes to be made
in the firman relating to the navigation of the Black Sea.
BALE, AUG. 19.—A report has been circulated of a contin-
gent demand of troops front Switzerland, in case the Holy Al-
liance should find itself obliged to act collectively against Spain.
It was farther pretended, that Switzerland would be required to
furnish no more regiments to France and the Netherlands,
unless it would be to keep troops at the disposal of the other
great powers also. All these reports appear to come from the
same source to which Switzerland owes the system of calumny
which has been for some time past carried on against it.
BnussEr.s, Auo. 27.--Complaints have long since been
made in our provinces of the height to which smuggling foreign
goods into this kingdom was carried on the frontiers of France,
which naturally was greatly detrimental to the public treasury
and to the interest of the manufacturers of our country. it
is with lively satisfaction we announce that measures are
taken to repress an abuse so prejudicial to the public and to pri-
vate individuals. Besides the brigades of mareeliattrie, which
are going to reinforce those stationed On the frontiers, several
detachments' of troops have set out, and others shortly will
follow, to he stationed along the whole line, from the fron-
tiers of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg to the sea. It is
hoped that these wise measures will have the good effects ex-
petted from them, and that the French companies, which in-
sured on such low terms the speculations of the smugglers,
will be disappointed.
His Majesty's decree, issued for the interest of our manufac-
tories, cannot fail to have beneficial effects, and may perhaps
be the harbinger of similar measures with respect to other
countries.

Bit ussuus, Auo. 28.—ills Majesty's dectce, doted the
20th inst. was known by the merchants of Lisle and Valen-
ciennes the day before yesterday. The measures of reprisal
which it orders against certain articles of French manufacture
made a great impression in those two cities.
M. Nazalli, Archbishop of Cyr, the Papal Nuncio, has just
arrived here for the purpose of negociating on the affitirs of the
Church with his Majesty's Government. His Grace the Duke
of Wellington visited the fortifications of Charlero,i Namur,
&c., and arrived on the 27th, in the afternoon, at Liege, and
then set out for Aix-la-Chapelle. His Grace will return to
Liege in a few days.
FRANKFORT, Att G. 23.—The King of Wirtcmberg and his
suite arrived at Genoa on the 13th of August.
__

The Duke of Cumberland arrived, tO-day at Frankfort, and
will stay for some days.—(Brussels Papers.)
