lhuue, Auo. 20.—A report having ten ett-
ettlated by ui.tuy trewspaisers that a O'eat antoy
reign Officer's, Who held latelv elnighted to One
United States of North Afnerieu, had been plated
in the military service of that country', we have re-
ceived from au alll4rttiC s'iurce it reilllelit serious-
ly to contradict this error, .11111 to add, for the be'
netit of all such as may he interested in it, that
not one ache above-mentioned foreign Officers
has obtained any kind of situation in the Ameri-
can service; and all vacancies that may happen,
will be tilled by natives of the country, and proba-
bly by Officers lately discharged.
ilausset..ft, AUG. 17,---We expect that Field
Marshal the Prince of Waterloo will pass a part
of the veinter in this city. The fortifications on
the southern frontiers arc prosecuted with vigour.
Those between Maestrecht and Namur will not
he undertaken before next year. The French
Government is hot only increasing the national
army, but also the Swiss regiments in the French
service are augmenting' to their full complement,
as well as the several foreign regimems under the
Prinett;Ellobeidoe. The strength of these cores
is not fixed, but it seems that it is intended to
make them a, strong as possible. The body of
this cote; is twined out of the skeletons of the
four German regiments, whielt formerly sorrel
under Buonaparre. For some .time past there has
been some desertions from several corps of our
army, and it appears that many deserters have
taken refuge on the French territory. A feiv days
ago a man 'vas taken at Atli who wanted.to se-
duce sonic soldiers.

16.-----After the second Chamber
hal deliberated to-day till t o'clock, with closed
doors, a message from his Majestyw as read, in the
public sitting, accompanied by a new. project of
law, respecting the plan to he introduced for the,
indirect contributions, in which his Majesty an;
nounces that he has maturely considered ell the
objections of their [light Mighrinesses,, and Alas.
for the most rat endeavoured to meet .thent. As
for the obi eCt iotIS made by some of tire provisional
hssern blies, his Majesty says, that-this must have
happened trout a misconception of the fundamen.;
tal law, because the branch of taxes belongs ex•.
eluded:, to the Kin;: and the States General, and
is entirely out of the resort of the provisional
States. The President hoped that in a tortnight
he should he able to bring tip x grneral and fival
report, it being settled that the deliberations should

COIIIIIICIICC the day after the report was brought
up. The project of law regulating the. proceed-
fog, vben an address of congratobition is to be
presented to the WAS approved. by u
ut 70 votes to 13.
