FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 25.—The grand military fete at-
tracted an immense concourse of persons on the espla-
nade and near the gate of Namur. Her Majesty the
Queen, the Duke and Duchess of Cobourg, the Duke of
Brabant, the Count of Flanders, and the Princess Char-
lotte were present at the fete.
The two bas-reliefs which will be placed on the pedes-
tal of the monument in the Place des Martyrs were ex-
hibited; one represents the benediction of the victims
interred there, and the other reprsents Belgium distri-
buting crowns to the glorious defenders.
BRUSSELS, SEPT. 26.—The opening of the branch of
the canal of the Compigne was celebrated with great
pomp OR the 21st. On no former occasion was so ani-
mated a spectacle witnessed in this city. Above 10,000
strangers, among whom were a great proportion of
Dutch, were present at the Pte. All the streets were
planted with evergreens, ornamented with flags inter-
spersed with flowers and drapery, and almost all the
horses were decorated with the national colours and
streamers. The Burgomaster made a long oration at
the opening of the canal, to which the Minister of the
Interior made an appropriate and very gratifying reply.
ANTWERP, SEPT. 25.—For a long time we have not
had so great a scarcity., in the arrival of provisions from
the colonies. The want of coffee especially is every-
where beginning to be felt. So great has been the
falling off in the quantity of this article, that the greater
part of the orders still remain unexecuted. They are
expecting the arrival of several ships from Flushing
to revive the drooping trade in this particular.
Our corn market was pretty well supplied to-day, in
regard to the minimum quantity generally exposed for
sale. Not much business however was done, especially
considering emergencies of the farmers. Rye was sold
at 17.1311. to 18.13f1. of Brabant; wheat, 2011. to 21.1711.
per scale of 11 per tolitre ; 221 were asked for wheat
of the finest quality, and 19fl. for rye. There was a
large supply of potatoes in the market, the prices were
the same as last week.

ANTWERP, SEPT. 26.--The leading question which
at this moment engrosses the public mind is that of
pauperism. Every topic whether polemics, politics, or
commerce, bears upon this point.
KIEL, SEPT. 16.—Yesterday afternoon her Majesty
passed by Kiel; she endeavoured to avoid the city, but
was met at the Breetzer convent, at the boundary of the
Kiel territory, by Count Reventlow Preetz, and the
Burgomaster. Although the Queen had promised to
visit the former more than twelve months since, she de-
clined his reiterated invitation under the present cir-
cumstances. The Burgomaster briefly alluded to the
unhappy state of the country, and entreated her favour-
able intermission with the King. Her Majesty was very
loudly cheered at her departure.
VIENNA, SEPT. 18.—Prince Luitfrold, of Bavaria,
arrived here from Munich the day before yesterday, and
purposes to remain here some days to witness several
manoeuvres.

The arrival of the Prince of Salerno is fixed for the
25th inst. The Archduchess Sophia is expected in the
course of the day, and her Majesty the Empress-Mother
will come in a few days ; and the Archduchess Maria
Louisa and the Prince of Prussia are expected here on
the 24th.

TYROL. —The King of the Belgians, who, as we stated
before, has been ordered to drink goats' milk in the
Tyrol, will probably remain about three weeks in the
beautiful district of Meran. His Majesty is travelling
in the strictest incognito under the title of Count
d'Ardennes.
