LIIIEUTY Olf THE PaESS IN tiot.Ls.t,an.---In dye
Sitting of the States
.General of yesterday, the
President. read the Report of..the Central Com-
imittee on the Law relative ;AO :the Iterrsion of
the Licentiousness of the Navin regard to co-
-reign Princes and Powers. He then stated, that
lie had communicated:to his Majesty the observa-
tions of the Committee on the drawing up some
of the articles ; and, in consequence, he had re-
ceived a mission hum the Secretary of State,
listed Amsterdam, the 21st, transmitting, by order
-ot his. Majesty, a new digest of the plan of law,
-conformable to the observations made by the
'Committee. On the motion,,Of,the President, the
discussion on the law thus amended was fixed for
to-morrow.•

TUe Vigilant, a,paper publisheUhere, has the
Riming other remarks on this new law-:
It for the interest of the Royal Person,
but inertly tor the interest of those who exerc'sse
the It6yal authority, that it is .Wished to impose
Ois blind respect for All the acts of a Govern-
ment. It is with a view to the interest of Minis-
ters along that this law, propoied at the instiga-
tion of Ministers, has been hatched. The Minis-
ters in 'Governments regulated by Constitutions
are responsible. These F% gents of power may •ot
course feel sore at remarks which throw, light on
their transactions, and thus endanger their places :
but is it of importance to us, that in any nation
• whatever the responsibility of Ministers should he
lightened.) Is it of so much , importance to us,
that.the.stuallest portion.of our liberty should be
sacrificed to obtain it 1" The FAitprofthe Vigilant
cowhides as follows':—" The proposed law is
powerless in regard to the interests of foreign Go-
vernments : it will be too powerful against the
in!erests oi our liberty."

The King and the Royal Family, the States
General, and the Ministers, tire to t'emove for

some time to Brossels.

An anonymous %%liter in the Brussels Oracle
asserts, that the price of grain' is now allhost as
'high in Belgium as it was in the days of/the assig-
snits. The consequence is, he lays, " that in a
ciunitry the most eminently agricultural, thou-
sands of fathers of families arc unable to supply
till wants of their children, and can hardly give
them a wretched crust of unwholmsotste black
brenl." He hence argues, that the ports should
be shut against exportation,' beedilise ail the sti+
verfhious grain of the country 'haul been`consum-

because the present season had been the most•iti-

NEW-YORK, Aug. 23.

Cus-rOu-nous. LaW.--,-We are ineormed that
another Bulletin has been teeeiVed at the Custom-
house 'from the CoMptroller of the Treasury) in
which 'that Officer informs the Collector that he
has retemsidered the opinion 'init. expressed'. to
him on the subject of debentures, and; on further
reflection, inclines to think that he mistook the
meals-jug:Of ale law. Ott the ►vhole, therefore,
he instructs 'the "Collector to allow the doubly de-
bentare3 alrotoly issued, and to issue double de-
bentures ott fatore exportatioos. We presume
that those merchants twin, for the last fortnight*
during the interregnum of law, have heetedenied
the benefit of the Statute of Drawhaeit,i.,- as now
exponnded, and as heretofore maintained in the
Evening Pdst, Will he reimbursed their money.
But we learn that the CoMptroller of the Trea-
silty, in his last circular, has promulgated neon-
struction of the law of tonnage, which we yen-
tnre to pronounce quite as extraordinary as that
concerning drawhateks The law, and until to-day
the practice, has been to demand fifty cents for
`tonnage; and fifty rents light money, agreeably
to the new tariff which took place the :30th of
June, 1816. But now this is increased to two
dollars and fifty cents by a treasury circular.
The Bank of the United States, and „the re.
sonsption of cash payments, continue to be the
chief subject of discussion in Ameriea. Ti►e Bos-
ton Paper of the 27th mentions, that -it is now
ascerfairted that about three millions of the eapi.'
tal stock',of the Bank is yet imstibserilied for : it
would, however, appear that the Treasury are de-
teratined to put it in imnsed:ate operation.- Mr.
Dallas, in a circul►ir letter, dated August 15, ad.
dressed to the Commissioners of the Bank, men
bons that he expects above eight millions of dol-
lars will be•collected in specie for the subscriptiot►
to the Bank in the different States, and that he
expects. the establishment will be in active opera-
tion by the 20th Feb. when all notes issued by
Banks who do not pay in specie will, be refused in
payment of duties or tuxes to Government.
Au article bum New ()Heti* dated July 25,
gives an interesting account of an American super-
cargo, who had. been itnpiisotted its a dungeon by
titrirder t,f the Emperur,Clisistbphe. It ”,ould all
peer that dispatches had been transmitted from the
French Government in. rise ii:1111C ship► of
sable Majesty had received accounts. The ►► hole
crew were confined. The American, being brought
before the Governor of Cape ffestry,-?dersiol ail
knowledge of the dispatches stated to have been
transmitted by Mr. Lai oche from New Orleans
he was iu consequence, at the intercession of the
Americari Crinsid, put on board the United States'
sloop of war Firebrand.. -
