BRUSSELS, DEC. 1.-As soon as M. Las Casas,.
with his son, landed at Ostend, he applied to the
proper authorities here for permission to remain
some days in this city. He immediately came hi-
ther by the diligence, and pat up at the White
Cross. There he was waited for by an Officer of
the Police, who brought him into a room that
was preivired for him, and which• he did not leave
during his .stay here. Several French refugees
made endeavours to see him, but in vain.. A re-
port has been spread as if Las Cases, had men-
tioned several important particulars respecting the
state of the island of St. Helena, and of the no-
torious prisoner there. We believe, however, we
may affirM, that during his stay in these provinces
he was extremely reserved upon the subject.

The following authentic information shews how
little regard has been paid to the late PROCLAMA-
TION issued by Government, to prevent British
Officers troth quitting this country, in order to
support the Cause of Rebellion against a King-
doni with which we are in amity and bound by
treaties of alliance :—On Monday lust the Eme-
rald, Captain WHEATLEY, sailed from the Nore
with Colonel licamEs, and a complete Esta-
blishment of Officers, and Non-commissioned
Officers, and men to form a Baud, for a Regiment
of Cavalry, destined to join the Insurgents• in
South America. The Emerald, among other ar-
ticles, which probably consisted of Warlike Stores,
had on board a considerable number of cases
containing RIFLE ARMS and PISTOLS, and TWO

HUND'RED BARRELS Of GUN-POWDER !I ! Oui

attachment to Governmeot cannot be doubted,

and %ve trust that we cannot better sbew that at-

tachinent than by calling its earnest attention to
what implicates the honour of the Einpire, and
may tend to involve us in renewed hostilities.—We
repeat our forum question—What will Spain say
when it hears that such measures are suffered to

be taken as we have above stated ?—lt is of little

moment for our Government to issue Proclama-

tions if it does not resolutely exert itself to see
that those Proclamations ate cat ried into efTecc.—
We last week conununicated some striking particu-
lars respecting the Military Etnigrations from this
Connlry to South America, which were copied into
most of the Morning Papers, but, however, Oppo-
sition arid Ministerial both omitted our observa-
tion as to the ground of discontent, if not of a more
emphatic feeling, which those emigrations might
excite in the Spanish Cabinet, it not resolutely
and effectually prevented by the British Govern-
ment. The honour, dignity, and interest, there-
fore, of this Country, require an active and effi-
cient interposition on the part of Ministers, to con-
vince the Court of Spain that the British
Cabinet not only does not authorize, or sanc-
tion by connivance, the expedition of our Coun-
trymen, Military and Naval, and otherwise, for
the purpose of supporting the Cause of Rebellion
against an Ally. We call upon Ministers to di-
rect their particular attention tolhe facts which
we stated last
:week, and to that which we now
submit to the Public, as doubtless, urless they
are vigorously and rigorously conuteractad, more
of our misguided cytintrymen will embark in a.
cause, the issue of which is certainly doubtful,
atul on which so many misrepresentations have
been made, that it is impossible to ascertain the
truth, and in which the probability is, that they will
expose themselves to disappointment, the most de-
plorable privations, if not to the loss of their lives,
or the most dreadful punishments, if they fall into
the hands of those whom they so rashly engage
themselves to oppose. It has been said, that
there is no law to Prevent these emigrations, but
surely that cannot be the fact ; at all events there
must certainly he legal means sufficient to prevent
the exportation of warlike stores, for the pur-
pose of abetting hostility against a friendly
Power.

.We copied yesterday an article from The Times
Newspaper, which said, " We are informed by'au-
thority on which we think we can depend, that the
AlliedSovereigus have cometo a resolution to with-
draw their troops front tharench Territory, before
the end of the month of March ensuing. The aug-
mentation of the French forces, therefore, must
not be considered as the means of hastening their
removal, but as an expedient for supplying their
place." We copied this article without making,
any comment on it, and we annexed the name of
the Pape-r
from which it was taken, hut at the same
time we were very distrustful of the authenticity of
the statement, conceiving thefact to he in total
variance with the true policy of the Allied Powers.

Our doubts' we find are fully justified by inrorill.
tion Which we have received from a (porter'
which we confidently rely, and on which vref
sume positively to state, that there is on ;11°6'
+ion to withdraw the Allied Troops from POz.
As to the latter part of the paragraph in questObe"
its in:probability is so glaring that. it troir
thought to refute itself. Is it to be sill:posed, 65
while France is in .the hands of a MidlErl

impregnated with the over-ruling inthlee'

place to that Army, which, instead of being el°
ployed for the mere protection of the
Government, would most probably be diree'd
the .ovettbrow of that Government, and to de
disturbance of all Europe. No—the Allied roll
must remain in France —they have
the Snake, not killed it ;" and it wout '2::•(41$
grossest folly and fatuity to remove them '6l
such a Government is fully estabLshed in France
as shall secure itself from all internal danger, 414
all danger of involving other countries in coos
motion, confusion, and revolutionary horrors.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM CITARLESTON, Not. 6.

" Arrived the ship Rebecca from New Orleaoli
in 24 days. Passed six ships and three brigs 013
her passage; which informed Captain FERNIER that
a very heavy gale of wind had been experienced
in the Mississippi, about the 27th nit., in wi►icb
a great number of vessels had been driveu'on Aare
(mostly English), and. it was feared that the best
part of the erzwe had perished, and there was 1411
little doubt that any of them could be got off. Tile
fever had in a great measure subided when tbC
Rebecca sailed."

We received this morning Jamaica Papers to
the 19th October. The General Assembly of the
Island had been prorogued till tie Nth of Octo-
ber. The following are Extracts :
" KINGSTON, OCT. 18.—By the Dolphin sre
learn that the Pat; iota brig and t \vo srlmonesst

claret that port. in a state of blockade.

" \Vhile the Tyrion was at "Santa-Martlia, the
schooner Proserpine, of Baltimore, arrived there
with the crew all-sick, e`xcepting one man, -wheit
the Governor immediately ordered her to quit the
port. *She was from Porto-Brno, which place
had been very sickly, only one European merchant,
a Mr. BEr,L, having survived the fever. •
" KINGSTON, OCT. 4.,.---The barque Hope, Row,
which sailed from this port on the 13th ult, bound
to Santo-Domingo, returned into port on Tues-
day, in consequence 'of having been struck cif*
Cape Tiburon, when fourteen days out, by light-
ning, which shivered her mainmast, and injured
her main-deck Materially : every person on deck
at the time was knocked down, but we are happy
to state that no one was much hurt.

" We regret to state, that information bas
been received by the schooner Betsey, of four of
the crew of the brigantine Swift, belonging to
this port, having been murdered by some Indians,
while fishing on the Mosquito-Shore.
" The sloop Duckenfield, LEWIS, from Salt-
River to this port, unfortunately upset on Thurs-
day off fleathsbire Point, during a squall.—The
crew succeeded in reaching the shore soon after."

Arrivals since Monday, fine samples, both in
IVheat and Oats, were taken off on as good terms
as on Monday ; Fine Barley is in demand, and ra-
ther dearer; Pease and Beans remain at our last
quoted prices.

We are authorised to state, that the paragraph
which has, appeared in several of the Morning
Papers, that a prisoner, named Oinar Hall, has
been discharged from the Hulks, to give evidence
against Thornton is entirely without foundation.
