BRUSSELS, AUGUST 30.

The Prussians have occupied the citadel of Sed.?n
...the Governor had hoisted the white flag, and has
given up the fortress to the Allies by the express
order of the King of France. This is the first ex-
ample of the kind, and this circumstance gives
to various conjectures. On the other hand, Prince
Augustus of Prussia is preparing to attack Mont medy.
The Governor, supported by the mutinous spirit of
his soldiers, seems disposed to resit; but this opera-
tion cannot be of long duration. The bombardment
of Charlemont has commenced. It is very difficult
to approach this place, and the gairison is lodged in
bomb-proof casemates.
In the Arderloes there are sell some bands cf arm.
ed men, who from time to time attack, not only the
soldiers of the Allies, but even the inhabitants of the
open country. Those who are taken with arms in
their hands are hanged upon the spot.

Th:s morning we received Boston Papers to the
2d ult. The Pal/at:him of the Ist announces the ar-
rival of the Favcurite brig, Captain FOSTER) from
England, bringing London Papers to the 25th June,
from which they had extracted the whole of the
London Gaz-tie, containing the p:rticulars of the an-
nihilation of BONAPARTE'S army; —the American
Editor merely states the fact, but makes no political
obsetvations aikatever ui.on the subject; whether
he had not tine, or the coinplczion of the news not
being congenial to his feeling, we cannot at present de-
; lost we are of opinion the sentirromtb of our
transatlantic neigEbours %% ill be mattrially altered

BoAT Races.—A most interesting spectacle 'took
place yesterday in our Jiarbour, when nine hookers
started at about two o'clock, Irom the Spit at Cove,
for Poor Head, where a flag boat was stati(ated.—
When they arrived there they beat up to Cork-head,
where another flag boat was stationed, ran round her,
and back again to Cove. The boats which took the
lead out of the harbour, lost their distance after
passiog Poor-head, and the boats in the rear, by haul-
ing their wind, completely left them behind. A new
boat, built by Mr. ilennevvy, won the race, in colae-
(pence of her tak!ng advantage of the tide, and her
crew knowing the harbour well, otherwise the Jane,
of Kinsale, would have been the winning boat. She
came in second.
The numbers, who attended at Dunleary on Mon-
day last, to see the boat race, were numerous, and
Consisted of the better order if society. Two boats;
or rather skiffs, started for the prize at half past three
o'clock, and after rowing in the direction of Howth,
for about a mile, and then returning, which corn-
prised a course of about two wiles, and which they
performed in sixteen minutes, the Dunleary skiff was
declared the winner, and the boat called the Seapoint
vanquished. There were four rowers to each Skiff,
and the prize was well contested. The day was fine,
if we except a few short showers, and the number of
pleasure boats in the offing, together with the crowds
who assembled to bee the race on the rocks, and' who
covered them in hundreds like so many 'swarms of
bees, was truly picturesque and interesting.
