EXTRACT OF .1 LETTER FROM CAMBRAY, AUG. 28.
The Duke of Wellington will soon artive at
Mont St. Martin, where all his family is asseat-
bled. The King of Prussia is expected here from
Paris ; and the troops of our garrison have al-
ready received orders to show that Sovereign every
military honour.
The diminution of the Army of Occupation by
another sth is at this moment the general subject
of conversation. Letters trout Paris, which may
be considered as authentic, asset t that this mea-
sure meets with opposition from the Ministers of
some of the Powers ; but every thing gives reason
to-believe that a reduction of the Allied troops
will take place in two months. Meantime, the
reviews of the Austrian, Russian, English, and
other troops will take place suecessieely in the
whole line from Alsace to the North Sea; they
will be very btilliant.
The number of officers on half-pay who are
going to be put on active service is considerable ;
it is estimated at 7 or 800, front the rank of Chief
of a Battalion to that of sub-lieutenant. What is
retharkahle is, the great number cif-military who
solicit employment. All is much changed in this
respect within this year and a halt, which may be
attributed to the wisdom and firmness of the Go-
vernment.

BRUSSELS, AUG 30.—One of our journals says,
"M. Stevenotte, senior, condemned to three
mouths imprisonment, and a fine of 500 florins,
baying requested permission to undergo his pe-
nalty in the house of arrest at Vdvorde, on ac-
count of the salubrity of the place, the Attorney-
General has granted him this favour, though it°is
not usual to send to that prison any persons but
Such 's ate sentenced to more than a year's im-
prisonment."
TOURNAY, AUG. 29.—We learn from all our
fortresses of the first class, that the works are

GukNr, SEPT. I.—lt seems certain that the
Bourbons of France come to the aid of the Bour-
bons of Spain. Many vessels of war and many
transports have sailed from different ports of
France for Spain, where they will be employed in
one of those unhAppy expeditious destined to re-
store America. if the Government dues not sent!
Dien it is because such a measure would be dis-
agreeable to the nation ; and it is feared besides,
that it would be sending reinforcements to the in-
sur:.!ents.

VteNNA, AUG 21.—The Morning Chronicle of
the 50, fills ttvo of its columns with a pretended
Protest, said to have been presented by her Ma-
jesty the Archduchess Maria Louisa, Duchess of
Parma, to the Vienna Congress, on the 1901 of
rcbruary, 1815, against placing the Bourbons on
the Throne of France. This document, says the
Mooting Chronicle, written originally in French, is
translated into English from a German transla-
tion, deposited- in the archives of the city of
Fraohlott ! We should not have thought it worth
while to mention this new lying production, had
not other papers besides the Morning Chronicle,
and his friend the Vrai Liberal, e.'g. the Journal
de la Belgique, inserted it,'" as eminently belong-
;u;.; to history." We hereby declare diet this
piece, frained by the enemies of peace and order
in Europe, is a forgery from the beginning to the

-GHENT, AUG. 31.—The action of the Duke of
'Wellington against the Editor of the Journal of
East and West Flanders came on to-day, as had

The'Counsel of his Grace, Messrs. -Tarte, sen.
and Jouhand, alter reasonings in which the pub-
lic thought there was more sophistry than logic,
endeavoured to prove, not only that the article in
question contained a calumny, but als9----that it
called down on his Grace the public contempt and
Lered. Mr. Beyens, the Editor Counsel, re-.
futed (and the public thought he did it success-
fully) •the reasonings of these gentlemen. He
maintained that they were founded on nothing po-
sitive, but on inductions. He explained the ar-
ticle which gave rise to the complaint of his Grace,
in the intention of the Editor. He divided it into
parts, which are very distinct, and assigned to
each of them the only sense in which they can be
understood; and hence he -concluded that the
action :brought by his Grace was without any solid
•formdatio'n. Mr. Smel, who acted as Attorney,
'General,. prayed, notwirhstandine, that the Edi-
tor of the Journal of East and West Flanders he
condemned to one month's imprisonment, to
flue of 300 Burins, and to the loss of his political
and civil rights for five years. It was thought at
first that his reasoning would tend to the dis-
missal of the complaint against the Editor, ‘vho,
according to Mr. Smel, would not merit from
his Gt ace any thing but that profound and en-
tire contempt which is due to miserable pamphle-
teers (follieulaires).
