FLANDERS MAIL.

A Mail from Flanders arrived last night, with
Brusisels Papers to Tuesday. The following ex-
tract of a letter from Cadiz, dated June 15, repeats
the old story of the preparations fur the sailing of
the expedition, and contains some remarks on the
rumour that Cuba is to be ceded to Great Britain:—
" CADIZ, JUNE 15.—A11 is in motion here to
embark on board the transports ; artillery, pro-
visions, and ammunition of all kinds; a complete
printing press has also been prepared for the ex-
pedition with these few days. Twenty more
transports have arrived in this port, of which ten
came from France ; they rare perlectly. equipped.
The troops composing the army are daily exercised
in military evolutions. Count D'Avisbal causes the
most strict discipline to be observed, on which
account_he is more feared that' loved by the ar-
my. It is not yet possible to say when it will sail
for its destination; if we might judge by the ar-
rangments which we witness, the epoch is
not distant. Meantime we have several Insur-
gent privateers in sight, which brave-us, make
prizes in the Strait, and seem to deride
our preparations. This is our situation.
" Commercial houses in this city have received
accounts from the Havannah, the writers of which
express themselves with the greatest indignation
at the report which was in circulation there of
of the cession of Cuba, to England. They say
positively, that if the mother country should re-
nounce that rich and important colony, the in-
habitants would know how to defend 'heir liberty
against the English, whom they do not like.
However, add the writers, we flatter onrselvvs
that these reports are without foundation, and
circulated with insidious perfidy and with criminal
intentions.

" We learn. by the same channel that the cele-
brated Father Jerves having been lately rein-
forced by a number of discontented Mexicans, has
now a corps more numeron, han he had a el-
der him since he took up arms. He has ad-
dressed to .the inhabitants of Mexico a Pro,:_dva-
mat ion, inviting them to repair to ihe standanls
of Liberty. The Viceroy had ordered sever al
corps of troops to proceed against him, with ()Ir.
ders to endeavour to bring unit to a general ac~_
lion. A large treasure has-been collected ht Vela
Cruz, but weans were wanting to send ,it ;to
Spain.
" CONSMNTINOPLE. MAY 30.--The Articles of
Capitulation of the city of Deira, the laSt asylum
of the Wechabites, have been laid before the Sa-
tan for his approbation. 'Flue articles wet e--
Ist. The preservation of the City. 2. Thee
personal safety of Abdailali.---3. Amnesty for all
who had borne arms.-4h. The security of
their property and that of -all private person,s.
With respect to the first article, the Sultan having
left the Government of Egypt eivire liberty 1-:--
spetting it, the city has been demolished by the
victorious army, and the inhabitants obliged L.)
go and settle elsewhere. Halill Paella, nephew
of the Viceroy of Egypt, having received order's
to match at the head of 10,000 men, wlao
were it Medina, against some Princes of
Arabia Felix, among whom are the Scherifs of
the Province of Lalient, has commenced hisopera-
tions with the greatest success. All this province
is already in the hands of Halill. The Scheriff
Mahmud having retired into a strong fort, sur-
renderi-d ; four torts situated on the Red Sea
have been taken ; the city of Mocha has sent
Deputies to treat for a capitulation. The Gover-
nor of Egypt has declared that his intention was
not to govern Arabia Felix, butt to leave it to the
ratan of Sana, who governs it at present, render-
. it% him tribut?ry to the Porte."
