FRONTIERS OF AUSTRIA, 7ULY SI.

We are assured that the dislocation of the Austrian
army has been stopped. and that several corps have
been sent for from the Italian army.

With the advice& from /Prance. we have the follow-
ing account of the commercial situation of Belgium :
di The object of Ghent, Bruges, Brussels and Os.
tend, is to promote manufactures to the injury of their
oreign trade. At Antwerp a more liberal policy
.as been adopted. The former are-anxious to levy a
uty of 16 per cent. on all manufactures, or rather to
Aniit fine goods only under a very severe impost,
and to exclude coarse 'goods altogether. At Ant-
werp for goodc in tramiiii, a small registration duty of
1 per cent only is paid, and it is the wish of the mer-
chants to reduce it to -one-half per cent. they in this
respect adopting the policy of France. -
„ It is perfectly clear from the correspondence of
all the details, that Antwerp is to become a free port,
and it is a fact, not generally known, that the princi-
pal inhabitants of that city, employed a Deputation
to wait on Lord Castlereagh at Paris, to inquire as to
the intention of the British Government on that sub-
ject. It was ascertained at one of the interviews with
that Deputation, that the British Government was
determined to employ its powerful influence to pre-
serve open and uncibstructed the navigation of go
Scheldt, whatever might be the views of the Ditch
Ministers.
" The authority in Belgium is assigned to the He.
reditary Prince of Orarge, only in his character of a
British ticutenant General, and not as a Dutch mili
tory, civil, or political officer. The wish of these
States is, first to be established as an independent Re-
Public ; next, to belong to England, but it this be
incompatible, they would appertain to Austria or to
France, and least of all they are disposed to be at..
cached to Holland, on account of the rival.hip of the
trade of the latter, which fora century has interposed
obstacles to their prosperity."

Monday her MAJESTY gave a grand entertainment
at her Palace, to a large party, to view the different
exhibitions that took place in the Patics. That the
general regulations might not be infringed upon, of
no carriages or horses being admitted into St. James's

trances. The Princess MARY arrived at the Qualm's
