BRUSSELS, MAY S.

On the 6th several Prussian columns passed the
Meuse; at Namur a considerable train of artillery
has also passed through that town oti the way to the
Plains of Fleur's:, where above 900 pieces of cannon
are at this moment united. It is said that the head-
quarters of Prince Blucher are going to be removed
to Namur, and those of the Duke of Wellington
to Mons.

The French, alarmed by the energetic measures
taken on our side along the whole line, have collected
a force to defend the passage through the Ardennes,
as well as an enirenched position before Givet. At
Valenciennes they are far from being ready. Many
thousand labourers are put in requisition 13 work on
the camp at Famers. The communication with Va-
lenciennes was still open, but the Commandant had
announced that it would be soon broken off.

The French force on our frontiers is greatly ex-
aggerated in the Paris Papers. Count Noailles, one
of the French Ministers of the Congress, after having
had, at Ghent, some conferences with his Majesty
'Louis XVIII. is gone back to Vienna. The King of
Prussia is expected here at the end of this month.
The Brunswick troops, which rendezvous at Ant-
werp, take the place of the Hanoverian*.

BRUSSELS, MAY to.
Within a few days movements have taken place
among the French troops on the frontiers ; the main
fotee which was about Lille, Arras, and Cambray, is
• .
gone towards Valenciennes. These movements have
caused on our side a concentration of force in the en-
virons of Mons, where also inundations have been
made. The Prussian Army has also made a move-
ment on the Maese and Sambre, and several divisions
are collected about Fleurus. About Dinant, the
troops have advanced towards Givet. These mea-
sures announce that the communication with France
would soon ceases and to-day the Government has
given notice, that France has broken or all commu-
nication with this country ; a similar measure was
adopted on our side, and all intercourse with Francs
put an end to.
This and other eireumstances lodate us to expect
every tboment the news that hostilities have com-
menced. •

In the neighbourhood of Assche, three leagues
from this city. a corps is collecting which will con-
sist of the Brunswick troops that arrive successively,
of a -corps of Hessians which come from the side of
Luxembourg, and of the Hanoverians who are can-
toned in our neighbourhood, Seism' .English Staff
Officers who came to receive the orders of the Duke
of Wellington are returned to their posts. An Aid-
de-Camp of Prince Blucher; who came the day be-
fore yesterday with a message, departed yesterday in
all haste to Liege.

tions of the English and Sicilians against the kingdom
of Naples. After the turn that affairs in Italy have
taken, the Government of Morat in Naples pro,
hably be soon at an end. It 4 said the Allies have

dered wholly nugatory by his unworthiconduet.
