Our touch honoured and beloved Commander
Field Marshal Prince ll:Hitcher, whosis we've so happy
Its to have now among us, has experienced very
lively joy at some !cacti; which he received yesterday
from England. and in which he is made acquainted
with thebilliant result,of a subscription begun there,
for the poor soldiers. the instruments and the victims
of the victories obtained in the Netherlands. it was
'first occasioned by the well-known, and, for usi.lio-
nourable, reports of the equally modest and Mitsui.,
ous English Commander, tits Duke of Wellington,
upon which his Royal Highness the Prince ge4ent
of England ordered this subscription to be begun;
which, under the direction and active co-operation
of several distinguished Bs kith statesmen and Phi-
lanthropists, has been prosecuted with the tonal li-
berality of the British nation. We the more readily
profit by the permissiint of his Highness to comma-'
nicate this joyful news to the public in general, as it
gives a desirable opportunity of paying a just tribute,
of admiration to the generous spirit which animates,
the Riitish nation, in acknowledging what redounds
to the glory arid dipity of others, awl to combine
it with a renmed commemoration of the ..great ac-
:ions of their and our Commanders in chief.
We begin with the following eittract of a letter
from Mr. Wilberforce. the firm and vicioriouspro-
WO' of the rights of man, so disgracefully violated
in the Slave Trade, of the man whose voice has been
often heard in the British Parliament in support of

• When Venice held phe first rank in point of com-
merce, the possession of these Islands was one of the
sources of her superiority. She lost them during the,
French Revolution. which dein ived her of that inde-!
pendent station which she had held for so many cen-1
twin. Russia took diem front the French in 1800,
and formed them into an aristocratic Republic, witich
the Treaty of Amiens recognised. Their dcsti:ls
now decided; and while the Unitml States of the

truly liberal and patriotic motions ;
" My countrymen," says Mr. Wilberforce to the ?iin:e, in
his letter, dated Amptun Park, October 31, " had afreally, at

an earger period, with one voice, and in the strongest etre.-
dens that the language affords, pronounsed their heartfelt grad-

more convincine proof than any words, even the most aspret•

" I retake, my Prince, at being the messenger of this news

may our two nations be again allies ! May we then have again

In the same spirit another generous Briton, Mr.
Robert Marten, who, as well as Mr. Welsford, the
highly respectable Secretary to the Watelloo Cgm.
maw in London, has most honourably distingrahhed
himself in this noble cause, had written a month be-

Lastly, in a letter from the PAissian Consul General
in London, M. Giese, of the 9.7 th ultimo, the result
of the subscription to that time, and of the partition

• The Treaty of Pans, concluded in 18l4; had
afilicted the Belgians ; several manufactories; reat
importance to our country, were ceded to France,
and we lost the hope of recovering the master-pieces
of art which an abuse of conquest had snatched from I
their native soil. The events that took place in
France last March, the unjust invasion of our coon-
try by the army of Boniparte., the bloody and me.
morable victory of Waterloo, have changed this state
of things. The new Treaty of Paris has restored•to
Belgium the cottons which had been torn from it ;
the fruits of the genius of our Artisti are returned,
among us; and, lastly, two fortresses, with their
districts, are ceded to the Kingdom of the Nether-

tit the course of yesterday Captain DI-:ISANI c.

patches from Admiral Sir GEORGE CGcs.iit..nN, dated
'in the '22d of October, being the day ca which the
REDPOLE sailed. The squadron which conveyed
BONAPARTE and his companions in disgrace to
Helena, arrived at that Island on the IStb,-and they
were immediately landed. The passage etas ea.
tremely boisterous, but the whole of the passengers
and crew were in good health. BONAPARTE Was to
inhabit the house on the top of the hill, called Long.
wooa, the usual residence of the Lieutenant-Governors
which is the most pleasant situation on the whole
island, and, what is still better, the most central and
safe, it being, as we learn. utterly impossible, witli
common cats, that any person can either approach it
or depart from it•without being seen.
According to the private letters received by the
above arrival, BONAPARTE lias cnndected himself
with mue/ nonchalance, and seemed determined
make himself comfortab:e. Ad his companimn
however, censplained loudly ct the length and incon-

We learn, not wily by the printed j-,,trrals, but by
private letters from the Netherlands, thst ate Treaty
of Peace just concluded has diffused great satitfac-
don throughout that country; and well it may, core.
tributing, so much as it does. to the security of the
new kingdom. The erection of the Seventeen Prc•
winces into an independent Sate has been. eve:

that time, has appeared in thsis country. 13u: dirli-

With respect to the very large share appropriated to
Pruv.ia, the Prince is employed on a general plan,
according to which, in conjunction with the large
sums coltected by Prussian patriotism, it will be ap•
plied in the most worthy and affectoal manner, to at-
tain the object of the generous donors.
Britous.and Prussians, you have become tkar.and
estimable to each other, as faithful persevering com-
panions, forgetting every personal feeling for the
great common cause, stood together in the field of
danger, when the glorious and common victory, with
all us golden fruits, sprang from your united manly
peraeverance and valour. As nations too, you are
worthy of each other, and formed by nature for cor-
dial friendship I In both of you, the mind loves the
profound and sublime ; to both superficial splendour
and empty shew are an abomination ; the hearts of
both are affected by nothing so much as by the
thought of the country and national glory; both arc
gifted with a rich vein of love and desire towards
every liberal and mental concern'ot the man, and of
