does- not know any German power which has de-
clared against the union of all Saxony With
Prussia.

"That'power intimates it does not wish that the
federative compact should be established on a ba-
sis, which, by tomb Ming with it the incorpora-
tion of one of the first States of Germany, might
give it alarm for its own security. But was not
the existence of Germany,
,and the safety of its
members, menaced in a much higher degree when
'the King of Saxony remained obstinately attached
to the cause of the enemy till the last moment
" The King of Prussia flatters himself that the
Emperor will consent to the i.icorporation of
Saxony with Prussia; and will represent to the
King of Saxony, and the members of his family,
the advantages which they will derive from the
establishment offered on the left bank of the
Rhine. His Majesty desires nothing more ar-
dently than, on the one hand, to contribute as
►ouch as possible to whatever ,may preserve the
union between the great Allied Powers ; hut,

the other, he cannot consent to any arrange-
Meut which would impose on Prussia alone'a per-
manent sacrifice. i4is Majesty demands that which
he may justly ltiy claim to, from treaties, and for
the efforts he has made."

BRUSSELS AND FRA,NKFORT PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, FEB. 14.—Vhe Paris journals have
announced the taking of Rime by 'the Neapolitan
army, the reheat of hiS Holiness to 'the Castle of
St. Angelo, and many other events which are
mere fables, destitute of all'fouudation. We re-
gret having noticed these- reports, which are
spread in Paris out Malevolence. Wediave be-
fore us letters front Rome of the 24th of January,
his Holiness had officiated the day before in pub-
lic, at St: Peter's, amidst an immense -crowd' of
the faithful. !Every thing was perfectly tranquil at
Rome when these letters cause away.
Some French papers continue to publish arti-
cles, sometimes under the head of Antwerp some-
times of Ghent, of.Louvain, Or of some other
town, which seem to be dictated by the spirit of
lying and perfidy which reigned under Buona-
parte. These reflections occur. on reading in the
Gazette de _France of the 10th inst. an extract
from a private letter written from Ghent by a Fle-
mish Magistrate : this pretended letter is a for-
gery, for there cannot be in Flanders, I will not
say a Magistrate, but any man so stupid as to
combine ignorance-and imposture to such a de-
gree. Here is the proof—ft is asked, says this
letter of French manufacture, where is the deliver-
ance, and from what are we delivered P Certainly
it is not from the droits reunis, nor from the coa-
scription, nor from the; contributions, &c. We know
not whether we ought most to adMire the folly or
the ill faith of such an assertion. What ! a Paris
Journalist dares to tell us, that the conscription
exists in our country, and he has the impudence
to attribute this imposture to a Flemish Magis-
trate. That is too much. 'No one is ignorant
that our national army is recruited by voluntary
enrolments ; that all those soldiers who leave fo-
reign service to return to their county, may go to
their own homes, as soon as they have set toot on
their native soil. The Military service is, free, in
the strictest sense. of the term.
If the droits reunis, now called the indirect
taxes, still exist, they are greatly diminished ; viz.
salt under the French Government cost 45 centimes
a pound, now it costs 10.' On the other hand,
the spies; the informers, the' worthy retinue of
the ancient administration of the droits reunis,
have disappeared with it. You asked from what
are we delivered .? I answer, from your chains,
your dungeons, your moveable columns, which
filled our country with despair, from the proscrip-
tion of our venerable bishops, from the infamous
treatment shewn to the young men of the semi-
nary at Ghent, from the horrible abuse of all
kind of power; we are delivered also from a cer-
tain Proprietor of the Gazette de France, who made
Antwerp and all Zealand tremble by the arbitrary
measures of his police.
To hear you, one wottld suppose that In your
happy France, there were no droits reunis, no con-
tributions, and that, manna falls in abundance
from-Heaven for the fortunate inhabitants.
If I remember, -however, the Count D'Artois,
brother of his Majesty Louis XVIII. when he en-
tered France by the way of Alsace and Lorraine,
did proclaim with that noble generosity which
distinguishes his character, the abolition of the.
droit reunis ; but we know that the King has not
confirmed this measure. - Have we not lately seen
courts of justice in Burgundy bring actions against
persons who refused to pay the droits Tennis which
they thought abolished.' These facts" are not com-
municated to us 'by magistrates of Lorraine or
Burgundy, but merely by .the newspdpers.
BERLIN, JAN. Society has been formed
at Berlin, called the German Society, 'the object
of which is to cause the use of foreign languages
to cease- in Germany,, to cultivate the' German
alone. Many of the first, iterati of Berlin are
members of this Society.

DUTCH MAIL:

[nEccivED TIiIS moRNIN:G.3
BitUsSEL3, FEB. 10.--It is affirmed that if-the
Prussian Monarchy is extended beyond the -left
bank of the Rhine, its frontiers will be foitned by
the Roer anditheOurthc, and thus Liege, Limburg,
Luxemburg, and•that part of the country of Nil 7
mur which lies on the right bank of the-Maese,
will be united with Belgium, which, if it did 'not
happen, would be attended with the most injuri-
-0113 effects on the commercial intercourse of the
respective inhabitants. We again, therefore, flat-
ter ourselves, and, as we think, on good grounds,
that these beautiful provinces will not bescparated,
from each other for foreign interests. We attri-
bute to this the diminution which continues to
take place in the number' of Prussian troops in the
Governtnents of the 'Middle and Lower Rhine.
