BRUSSELS, MAY t.

WE are again uncertain with resped to the time
of the arrival of the nave Costsut. in these
Departments and in those of the Rhine. The
Negotiations with England, appear to detain 80.
NAPARTE at St. Cloud. In the mean time the
adivity of the preparations for the reception of
the Chief Magistrate is not diminished, and other
places are preparing to follow our example.—
Hitherto no similar dispositions have been made at
Aix.la.Chapellc, Cologn, • Bonn, and Cublentz ;
nor in any other place in the Department of the
Roer. The Prete& of this Department has been
informed officially, that the Chief Consul will
visit the above-mentioned Towns on his way
from Belgium to Mayence and StAsburgh.
The Prefed has communicated this intelligence
in a circular letter to all the Mayors within
his jurisdiction, and invited them to prepare
to receive the Chief Magistrate with every pos-
sible honour: He has especially recommend.
ed to them the organization of Guards of Ho.
noun in all the places in which BONAPARTE may
make a stay, andCven those through which he may
only pass. He adds, that there will he on this oc.
casion at Aix-la.Chapelle an Exhibition of the pro..
duaions of the Manufactures and Fabrics of the.
Department. The Chief Consul will pass through.
Juliers on his tour, and inspea the new Fortifica.
Lions at that place.. Some military reviews like-
wise are intended in the environs of Mayence and
Strasburgh, where small camps will he formed.
If we may judge • from the frequent passing and
repassing of French and Dutch Couriers between the
Hague and Paris, the Correspondence between these
two Governmenti must have been very adive for
several days past. The whole of the French Troops
in the Baravian Republic, including those destined
for Louisiana, already form a considerable Army.
According to 'a statement published here, this
force consists of the following Corps : the
and 19111 Regiments of Dragoons ; the r.l of
cars ; the i 7th, 54th, and 95th Demi-brigades
of Infantry of the Line, of three Battalions each ;
the 76th, Stst, and tooth of the Line, of two
Battalions each ; the 27th Light Demi.Brigade, of
three Battalions ; two other Battalions, of which
the numbers are not stated ; besides some Compa-
nies of Artillery, foot and. horse. The motions of
a part of these Troops between the first and second
Line of the strong places of the Republic, still con.
tinue : we are ignorant at present what positions
they are definitively to occupy.

Early in January, dispatches were received by
our Government in India from the British Fadory
at Canton, stating a very sanguinaty conflid to.
have taken place on the Banks of the River Kiam,
between a numerous body of the rebels and a corps
of 5000 of the Emperor's troops.—At the com-
mencement of the action, the Imperialists were
broken and thrown into disorder ; the Leader of
the Insurgents was, however, killed at the mo.
meta, and they were not only prevented profiting
by their success, but falling into confusion, the
Royal troops rallied, and obtained a signal vidory.
The rebels lost upwards of 3000 killed, and the,
remainder escaped, under favour of the night, to a
post ten miles from the scene of adion.
Notwithstanding this, and some similar successes
the whole Empire was involved in the utmost alarm ;
and a letter frtim one of the Company's Supe:.car_
goes at Canton, states, that the progress of the
Rebels in that vicinage was such, that the Euro-
peans as well as natives were placing themselves
in a state of defence. •

A melancholy accident happened last Thursday at
Ipswich. Vice-Admiral e. went out in the
forenoon, in a single-horse chaise, on a visit to Sir
ROBERT HAR LAND. The horse became un►nanage_
able, ran the chaise against a bank, and the Admiral
was thrown out, his neck was dislocated, and he
instantly expired.
On Saturday evening, as Mr. WALKER, of
Hampton-wick, was returning home in a one-horse
chaise, the horse took flight, and ran violently
against a gate. Mr. W. was thrown out with such
force as to traEture his skull, and when taken up was
entirely without signs of life.
About the middie of March a body of Turkidi
Pilgrims, 40 in number, embarked on board a Cc-
phalonian yessel, to proceed to Mecca ; but, during
the first night of their passage, the crew rose upon
them and murdered them all While asleep. The
murderers have since been apprehended.
Our Letters from Dublin, of the 3d, mention that
