" The ..

able news of the death 01 her beloved daughter

BRUSSELS, DEC. B.—One of our 3011111:03 has
published sonic letters of Count •Casas, the
fit st addressed to Lord Sidmonthi and a second to
Li: rd 11011eind. These letters are corroborated by
the following :
‘‘ Ali the public Paper: gave at the time erroneous accounts
of the reasons of my departure from Longwood. The follow-
mg will e-tahlisli the truth :
" MN' I,LAIL CouNT Las CAsAs,—My heart sensibly feels
what put experience. Torn from me sixteen or seventqen
days ago, you have been confined au secret, without bent:
permitted to receive any information about me, or to com-
municate with any person whatever, either French or English,
and even destitute of a servant of your own choice.
" tour conduct at tit. Helena has been like your life—
honourable and without reproach ; 1 take pleasure in telling
you so.—[Here three-fourths of the letter are wanting.]
" Your company was necessary to me ; you alone could
speak and understand English. How many nights have you
passed with me in my illness. However, I advise vou, and
if needful, I order you, to require the Governor of this Island
to send you to the Continent. He cannot reinse this, basing
no power over you, hut by your voluntary enusent, which ha,s
placed you under his authority. My heart will rejoice to
Inow that vou are on the way to happier countries.
.Whether you go to England, or whether you return to
your country, forget the recollection of the ills which
bare been made to suffer. Boast of the fidelity which Vetl
have shewn to me, and of the entire alllction which I hear
you.
" If you should one day see my wife and my son, salute
them (rnabrassez-lcse), fur 111. n: than two years I have un
news of them, either directly or indirectly * * * *
[Three lines are here wanting]. However, comfort vourse!f
and console my friends. My body, it is true, is in the power
of my enemies ; their rage forgets nothing that can satiate
their revenge ; they kill flat by inches ills ;ar tout mortrir e
coups if epiitgle); but Providence is too just, I am -esisiltle
of it, to .grout this to continue long in the midst of this e,m-
liming- climate, deprived of every thing that sappotts
life aaaa* *.—[Here three lines are wanting.]
" As there is every reason to believe that you will not be
l'Olittt2,l to come before your departure, receive my em-
braces, the assurances of my esteem, and of my friendship,
he happy,

" Your affectionate,
" Longwood, Dec. Isla. NAPOLEON."

The local authority detained at St. Helena the
mi4inftl o. thin letter, and allowed only that part
to he communicated which is found here.

It is said that several Officers ou half-pay have
received hiders to repair to the Texel to make part
of an expedition for the Island of Java.
The birth-day of his Royal Highness the P; ince
of Orange was kept at Brussels with every demon-
•tration of joy. The whole city was illuminated.
Ills Royal Highness is still at Brussels.---(These
papers make no mention of the Count de Gilltz )
Baussues, Dec. 6.—Duke B,,ruard of Saxe
Weimar, Major-General in the service of the
Nip:: of the Netherlands, arrived here yestctday ;
los° several Russians of distinctign horn Peters-
burg!).

BRUSSELS, DEC. B.—Letters from Batavia
of the mouth of June, which have been re-
ceived within these few days, represent in no
favourable light the state of our Colonies ill
the East Indies. At Batavia they expected
sOOll to recei ee numerous Tel of troops
from Eur.pe. This unfortunate circumstance
(says the Ghent Journal) makes us sensible of all
the perfidy of the precaution of England, which,
by depriving us of the Cape, has not kit us any
point to touch at between this Kingdom and the
Sunda Islands. 'flee possession of this colony in
Africa would enable us to send speedy succours to
the East Indies, but our generous protectors have
left us only what they can easily take back from
us N% henever they please, because they have placed
Hs 01 a situation in which it is impossible to de-
fend them.

tiaGuE, DEC. 4.—The appeal to public opi-
nion, and to the States General of the Kingdom
of the Netherlands, in favour of the proscribed
French, against those who proscribe them, by
Messrs. Courtois Lemaire, and Gttyet, who resided
17 months at Brussels, under the guarantee of the
4th article of the fundamental law ; and also the
pamphlet which bears the title of " Petitions pre-
sented and distributed to the Members of the Se-
cond Chamber of the States General, by Messrs.
Guyer and Courtois Lemaire, exiled trom the
Kingdom of the Netherlands, in contempt of the
4tl► article of the fundamental law, followed by
their protest."
People are extremely anxious to see tinder what
point of view the Committee will consider these
two Petitions, and the report which it will make
upon them.

Dec. 7.—The work of Messrs. Courtois Le-
rnaire and Guyer, " Appeal," &c. as well as their
petition, alter being addressed to the Second
Chamber of the States-General, are now sent to
the First. The Editor has prefixed to these peti-
tions a letter to Cotint Thiennes, Plesident of the
First Chamber. We hardly kno.v how to charac-
terise this epHtle.

BRUSSELS, DEC. 6.-1\10)in tlrese tew days we
have seen a great many Russian, English, and
German couriers pass through here, mostly going
to London or coming from it ; a great many
couriers from Paris and the grand head-quarters
have likewise passed through. This leads to sup.
pose that most important negociations arc on toot
between several .Powers, which opinion is con-
firmed by letters from France.
