Dutch and Bruuels Papers to the 20th iust. have
reached us this forenoon. The following are extracts

BRUSSELS, JULY 29. •
A circular letter has been. issued- by the Minibter of
Pittance of the Netherlands, alloiving the' taxes, or
other payments to the Public Treasury, to be paid in'
French coin, by those who hareneglected to exchange
them in the time fixed.

We learn from the frontiers of France, that a great
number of workmen, of both our Provinces of Flanders,.
employed in the manufactorit s of French Flanders,
are beginning to leave them to return home.
We received last niilTtltrgench Papers of Mon-
day, with the Evening Paper "diced Tuesday. -The
Etude contains an article from the Austrian Observer,
dated Vienna, the Bth inst. which states, on the autht•
rity of letters from Smyrna of the 17th June, that fresh
advantages had been gained aet eteelts by the
Egyptian army in the Morea ; bruins: PACIIA having
advanced with 8,000 men, had attacked a body of
Greeks, chiefly bloreats, to the number of 1,700, en.
trenched in a position to the north of Modon; and
having surrounded them, they were destroyed, after a
desperate resistance. The Allgenseine Zeitung of the
14th July, also gives news unfavourable to the Greeks.

The Journal des Debate has a letter from Madrid,
of the 7th inst. which describes the perilous and dis-
turbed state of Spain, and the manner in which the
town of Malaga had been saved from imminent danger
from a plot (prepared at Madrid, as it is asserted.)
among the Royalist Volunteers, of whom a Battalion'
hid been in consequence disarmed; and many persons
in the town, engaged in the conspiracy, had made their
escape, while others had been arrested.

Calcutta noverurtent amities, to the 4th of March,
have come to hand. They inform us, in addition to
our last accounts of the successful operations of our
Army in India, that the force under the command of
Brigadier-General MOHRISON had passed the Naar,
and entered the province of Arracan ; the immediate
result of which was the evacuation of Mungdoo arid
Lowadhang, by the enemy. Every appearance fore-
boded a speedy and glorious termination of the war.

By the way of the United States important intelligence
has been received from Ilayti, relative to the proposed
renewal of the negociatiOns for the recognition of Hay-
tian independence. The President BUYER has deter-
mined that no political agent shall proceed to France
to treat for the recognition of the independence of St.
Domingo, unless an assurance is first received that he
will be treated with due honours, and that his mission
shall be attended with every prospect of success. The
invitation and, the assurance of the honourable reception
must come from the French Government. An official
communication to this effect has been transmitted to
Tat is.—The intelligence re.pecting England is also of
n very important nature. The Government of St. Do-
I mirgo has long and repeatedly urged.the recognition of
the independence of Hayti by the King of GREAT Bar
i TAIN, and now the independence of Colombia has been
! acknowledged, the PRESIDENT remonstrates strongly
I on the it justice of dellyjng the recognition of Hayti, so
long independent de fade. and with a Government in a-
settled and Erm gat-. The Government of the island
is now de?ermined to enforce its claim tin England, by
1 the legitimate means in its poo er, or, at all events, to
put the manufactures and trade of England immediately
!on the same footing as the commerce with other coon-
• tries. The import duty on English broods is now one-
! nal( less .han on the goods of any other nation. A lan
has pissed Congress; declaring the duties from the let

confined to significant • • . .
• - " Nods.and becks and wreathed smiles;
which could not be mistaken ; but It length the name of " Sir
Walter !kite echoed from every part of the Theatre, and the
clattiour became truly deafening. Sir • Walter. who eat, as if to
escape observation, on a third stet, in ooe of the bons under the
OW**, accompanied bY his son, Captain Scott, and a party of
Ladies and Gentlemen, did not at ant appear to comprehend what
all this applause was about, and assisted in it by clapping bb bands;
but soon all the thunders of the pit ascended k every bat was doffed ;
every back was turned to the stage ; not even a word from the per-
formers could be heard; sten the faselarions of Was Foote failed
in attracting.

now came forward and said, " Gentlemen, might I ask what an he
the cause of this disturbance r
" Sir IV4ltcr Scott ! Sir Waiter Scott !" was skated rot& by a
hundred voices at once. This exclamation caused a bunt ofim
ter, in which Sir Walter himself heartily joined. He then rose
amidst the most vehement applause; all darted their desiring eyes
upon his visage, while be spoke nearly as follows :—" Gentlemen,
I thank you; as I am net conscious of having merited this !dodoes-,
I was not until this moment aware I was the object of it. Believe
me, Gentlemen, I can never be forgetful of the honour you have
done me." Sir Walter then sat down, while bud applause' filltd
the entire Theatre. The play then proceeded, with an occasional
slight interruption, caused by the anxiety of those in the gallery to
get a sight of the distinguished visitor.
. From the few words which Sir Walter Scott uttered, it could be
easily perceived that be has a strong Scotch accent. Age has
blanched his locks. His face it precisely that which is termed a
Scotch face, large and Mk with a prominent- nose, good forehead,
ands light blue eye. In fact, he reminded us very much of that
worthy man, 44 rest and bless him," Old Mortality.
It should not be forgotten. that the only airs played by the or-
chestra the entire evening,were-those of " Bonnie Scotland."
When Sir Walter was leaving the Theatre; which was at the I:m-
-elodeon( the first act of Mei the applause was renewed, and even
the populace assembled eutsid; the Theatre, cheered him on entering
his carriage.
In the course of the evening there was a cheer for Thomas Moore,
whose parents sat in the next box to Sir Waiter.

Ftur..--Yeiterday evening, about six o'clock, the
neighbourhood of Camden fown was thrown into a
state of dreadful adarm by the di'covery of a lire in an
extensive manufactory, lately built by Messrs. Gunter
and Hopwood, piano•forte-makers, at the corner of
Pratt•phice, Camden Town, very nearly opposite to the
Southampton Arms Tavern. In less than half an hour,
the whole interior of the building was completely de-
stroyed, and not a beam or anything, except the bare
walls, left standing. A very loge and valuable stock
cf woods of various kinds used in the business had been
removed to the premises a few days since, and busine,s
was to have been commenced these next week. 1111
