of Galioia,Satteander, and Cantabile, to those on the south
of Spain, frail San Lucas de Borrameda to Cape Creus.
Foreign vessels nay in return take cargoes of fruit or
other Spanish !noddle, at a duty of 4,per cent. more
than is paid by Spanish ships; or they may commence
by an export cargo from Spain, on engaging to return
with a cargo of grain. The courier Francais has been
seized by a Commisiary of Police, for inserting the sub-
stance of BONAPARTE'S will. The ground of the seizure
is remarkable : it is stated in the order, that the testa-
ment of NAPOLEON contains " the crime of insult to
public morals."
Gatignani's Messenger says, the rentes with difficulty
maintained their price on Friday, in consequence of the
occurrences at Madrid between the French and Spanish
soldiery. _ _

Brussels Papers to the 7th inst. have reached us this
morning. They repeat the statement that his Majesty
the Kum of GREAT BRITAIN will not visit the Continent
1 this year ; and that in one of the conferences at Johan-
nisberg, the measure of releasing Powers of the moond-
ary order from paying tribute to the Barbary Powers
was discussed. For this purpose, it is said, particular
pegociations will be opened by Austria.
An article from Nuremberg says—
. " It would be difficult to give an account of the re-
, .rts of all kinds which have been in circulation for
some days past, relative to political affairs. Some affirm
that in the conferences at Johannisberg an Ultimatum
was drawn up, which was to be sent, in the names of
the great Powers, to lion Pena°, Emperor of BaAzis.,l
to induce him to lay down the Imperial dignity, sub-!
milting to his father the King of POIXIMAL, and re-
suming his title of Prince Royal.
a Others say it has been resolved, whatever may be
the policy of the English Cabinet, that a corps of troops,
furnished by the Sovereigns of the Holy Alliance, shall
be embarked at one of the steal:forts of the north of
Europe, to go to Cadiz, where it will be placed at the,
disposal of the King of SPAIN, re assist that Sovereign
in recovering his colonies in' Sodtb, America.
a What is certain," adds this account, " is, that the
diplomatic intercourse between St. Petersburgh and the
several Cabinets of Europe has never, been so active as
for this month or two past. English, french, Austrian,
and Spanish couriers are continually posting through
Berlin." The following are extracts :

BRUSSELS, AUGUST 7.
We are informed that his Majesty has ordered the
Ministers to prepare for the next Session of the States
General, a project of law for the purpose of reconciling
the interests of agriculture with those of commerce.

The Journal of the Province of Liege says, that his
Majesty the King, justly protecting all the forms of
worship established in this Kingdom, has just decreed
in favour of the Protestant citizens of Liege, that from
thii time a Protestant Church is established there, and'
that the Chaplain of the garrison is for the present
in-
vested with the office of Minister of this new Church.
We mentioned some days ago, that several pigeons
had been sent from Liege to Lyons, to be let loose
there. One of these aerial messengers, which was let loose
at Lyons on the 3d of this month, at six o'clock in the
morning, arrived at Liege at 11 o'clock the same day.
AUGUST 6.4 Accounts from Batavia of the 20th
March bring the following news :
44 His Excellency the Governor-General has judged
it to be necessary, for the purpose of obtaining a more
accurate knowledge of the stare of the possessions of his
Majesty in the Moluccas and Celebes, to visit them in
person. He accordingly sailed on the 17th of July,
first for Amboynat accompanied by Messrs. Vander
Gruff, Counsellor of the Indies; Schneider, Secretary to
the Regency ; Colonel Jauffret ; Lieutenant-Colonel
Sluers, his Aid-de-Camp, and Surgeon-Major Heil.—

in his absence.

41 We hear from Kadoe, that on the 6th of February a
violent storm, with wind and hail, burst over Magellan,
the capital. In less than five minutes the rain converted
the environs of the great plantation into a sea, while
the wind t•re up many trees by the roots. Great da-
mage was done, by the storm and the inundation, to the
plantations and several uildings."
