Bausseo, acT. I.—The Duke of Wellington
has just reviewed the Saxon Contingent in the.
neiothourilood of Lade. A report had beets spread
in hat city that it is as shortly to:be. occupied by _
the Allied trot:S ; this report excited gieitt alas na,
so that the Govvernment,judged•lt 'advisahle.to
contradict it. Scarcely were people's minds ea'in-
ed, when' the unexpected Arrival of the D•oke of
Wellington caused fresh alarm, which eves doabt-
less the work of the evil-m'nded, co whom the
present order kind trautoillity ark. intolerable.
There is no doubt but that the falsehood „t the
report will soon ttprar. This opportunity has
again displayed the good spirit w
the National Guard. A review of the 14ritish
troops is expected to take place sty the plain of
Denain.
