A Mail from Flanders possesses,us
.of a rather
important Circular Letter from the French Prefect
to the Mayor nt Strasimegh.' It is a document
which requites no illustration, and the only corn-
ment which we shall offer upon_it is to invite at-
tention to the simple and unadorned exposition
which it gives of the real state of affairs. Atter
the' Wicked exaggerations and false riimours by
which the public nand has beer' harassed, it i$
pleasing to mark how n plain tale can put down
all the mischievous plottings of the turbulent and
restless spirits.who, banished from France, now
•
fester in other countries; yul disseminate the:r
poisons through the medium of a worthless ress.

No nein.ll Papers had arrived when our Paper
was-put to Press.

Intelligence has reached town from Naples
stating that an American Squadron, tinder the
command of Commodore CHAUNCEY, lied made
its appearance off that city, h wing on board Mr.
PINKNEY, who has demanded of the Neapolitan
Govrtnment it sum of four millions of dollar., as
a compensation for American property confiscated
by MoitAT. He is said to have accompanied this
requisition With a threat, that it it were not com-
plied with the squadron would bombard the
place. The demand, however, was indignantly
rejected, and preparations were made for giving
the Americans a warm reception. Such is the
substance of a letter which we subjoin ; remark•
lug, at the same time, that a French paper, the
Gazette de France, of Monday, professes to give
news from Naples of the 9th of August, in which
there is not the least allusion to the arrival of the
American Squadron. This, however, we Consider
of no weight against the positive testimony of an
authentic letter :

" NAPLES, AO°. 0,1818.--. The inhabitants of this thy are
in a great state of alarm, being in daily expectation of a Oen,-
hardment from the ltmerican squadron, consisting of the
Washington, 74 guns,':fava, SO, Constellation, 38, and Eiji,
corvette, 'l:Met:the command of Commodore Chauncey, who
brought here Mr. Pinckney, to demand from the Neapolitan
Government 4,000,000 dollars, being the amount of American
property conhscated here in the time of Murat; which de-
mand, we are given to understand) this Government will nut
comply with. The' Government is very naive in making ?re-
parations fur defenee against anrhostile act the Americans
may commit, in erecting furnaces for hot shot, anti mounting
guns of large calibre, as well as bombs; and I hope, ere they
dare to commence an attack ,on the town, an English squa-
dron will arrive, as a brig of war looked in on Friday evening
last, and the Captain, all er waiting on Sir Henry Lushington,
act sail intmediately for Gibraltar--.we doubt not fur the par.
pose of making Lord &meth acquainted with the Atnerican
squadron being in this port, and their hustibrintention.--.Tlie
