FLANDERS MAILS.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 29.—We have the following
from Ostend, of the 26th inst. Las Casas,
the ftiend and historiae et Buonaparte, arrived
here last Sunday by the-packet-boat, accompanied
by his ,son. M. Las Casas, it is•well known, fol-
lowed the ex-Emperor in his exile, but was sud-
denly obliged to leave St. Helena, and was con-
veyed to the Cape of Good Hope, whence he
is just arrived. - He contradicts all the anec-
dotes that have been circulated respecting the fan-
cies and ill humour of Buonaparte ; but he agrees
in saying that he continues to make those about
' him observe all the etiquette of a Court, as at the
Thuilleries. Now, as formerly, be continues only
a few minutes at table. Every evening he attends
readings of tragedies, comedies, &c. M. Las
Casas arrived on Thursday at Brussels, and set off
yesterday for Aix-la-Chapelle.
The Consul of his Majesty the Kink of Prussia
at Antwerp informs the merchants, that he has
received notice, with orders to publish it, that an
Algerine squadron, having the plague on board,

Prussian vessels. • •

BatlsseLs, Nov. 29.—A letter from the Hague,
which we have this moment received, contains

here, that Count Goliz, the Commissary-Gene-
ral of War, is going to retire no person is yet
mentioned as his successor."

HAGUE, Nov. 29.—The news of the retiring
of Coon; Gol'z appears to be confirmed more and
more : it is the subject of every conversation.—
There are' different reports, concerning the choice

great impatience for the issue of this affair.

months, and after having made a tour through a
great part of the Empire, their Majesties returned
here yesterday at one o'clock. hey were received

to be making at Court for a journey, which, it is
positively affirmed, will be to Prague, to have an
interview with the Court of Austria. What is
certain is, that- orders have been sent from Vienna
to Prague to make the necessary arrangements at
the castle of that city, to receive the illustrious
guests that. were to- meet :there. People speak of
the coronation of the Empress of Austria as Queen
of Bohemia :•our Royal Family will be present at
the solemnity. Well-intormed persons are per-
suaded that there will result from this meeting a
new bond of union between the two august reian-
ing families-. Has Imperial Highness the Crown
Prince of Austria was born on the 9th of April,

FRANKFoRT, NOV. 26.-It is known, that be-
sides M. Hornthal, Professor Martin had also of-
fered to take upon himself the detente of Col.
Massenbsch.—The following is the Colonel's an-
swer to this letter :

" You have been so good, Sir, as to offer to charge your-
self with my defence; I am animated by the must lively gra-
titude at the generosity of your proceeding. I should have
esteemed myself happy to be able to intrust my cause to you,
Sir, in the inquiry which has taken place in my affai., if there
had been any question of my political views and opinions,
and if the laws perMitted to have recourse to a counsel set-
tled in another country. This enquiry Was entirely relative
to a fault against the duties of the military sery ce, and I
have rendere,i myself guilty of it, because, nut having been
for these ten Yeats in active service, I did not think I
could consider myself ny longer as an Officer. This in-
quiry has been conducted with Justice, integrity, and huma-
nity, and does honour to those who have carried it on,,as
well as to the legislation and to the King. I shall always
feel the gratitude I owe you for your offer, which is so ho-
nourable to we. Accept the assurance, Ste.
"MASSENBACH."
