BRUSSELS, OCT. 14.—N. de 13achelefr, Aide-de-
Camp to the Emperor of Russia, the Countess Paske-
witseh, Erivan, Princess of Warsaw, and Major
Fed.lie, in the British service, arrived at Brussels.
A letter from Tournay, ,of the 11th of October,
says—" We have, from good authority, that the Open-
ing- of our railway is filially fixed for the 13th of No-
vember, that it will be honoured by the presence of
the King and the French Princes. .there have been
several Cabinet Councils within these two or three days."
RussrA.--HIGA, SEPT. 29.—A multitude of reports
are in circulation here respecting the fire at Cusun,
which the alarmists ascribe to a conspiracy of the
Tartars against Russia. Some troubles have taken
place in the Ukraine, where it is said a conspiracy
against the Russian authorities have also been dis-
covered. In our German provinces in the Baltic the
discontent of the peasants continue, but it is kept in
check by the military occupation.
AMSTERDAM, OCT. I.—The Austrian frigate Bel-
lona, of 66 guns, commanded by the Archduke of
Austria, bound from Portsmouth for Holland, is
stated, in a letter from the Texel of the 12th of this
month, to have stranded on the previous evening, in
a thick fog, on the Erisland ; the masts were imme-
diately cut away and the guns thrown overboard,
but soon afterwards her back was broken, and the
frigate partly went to pieces during the night. 149 of
the crew, including l 1 officers, were brought on shore
by the safety boat, but the remainder of the crew were
drowned.—(This is all pure fiction. The Archduke
is still in this country, and the Bellona at Portsmouth,
in perfect safety.)
11ANDLEsnLAD.—THE "LAGUE, OCT. 13.—The
ordinary session of the States-General will be opened
on Monday next, in the usual manner, by the King
in person.

The study of the monuments of the imperial race of
the Incas, whose civilization was the wonder of far
remote agos.4 and whose history is still a closed book,
seems likely to be exposed to us, with the migrations
of the people of the earlier ages. To these, and the

of North America among the red men of the deserts,
and by his numerous works on natural history. This
great enterprise was planned under the auspices of
the late Duke of Orleans, and is now adopted and
patronised by the Duke tie Nemours, anxious to ac-
