BRUSSELS, AUGUST C 7.
The visit of Lntd Ci,stlereagh and the Duke of
Wellington has served to fir, in some measure, our
political and military squation. All the measures
are taken according to existing circumstances, and
me to be actively prosecuted. The frontier line is,
foe the present, fixed to the Maese, till tie Congress
h decided the frontier of the State of which we are
to be the centre. Lerd Castlereagh has collected
every information on this point before going to Paris
end Vimna. The Doke of Wellitigton has over-
leek,d nothing that can help to give our country a
sleong harrier en the side of France. This line will
be rxtended eccot cling to the extent of territory to be
united with IlAtisiarn. Meantime, a large army will
be maintained in our provinces. Besides the mime-
rims there are to be two camp—one be-
tween rournav and Courtray, and a second near'
Quierrain, a plain between Bergen and Valenciennes,
aim .st the eertremity of our frontier on that side.
It is believed that the number of troops from the
Electorate, coining to this country, will be further in-
creased. Several Hanoverian regiments have already
arrised from the Weser. The whole force will have
reached its destination in the beginning of next
moreh. On the other side, contracts are making fer
a large division of Dutch troops, who are designed,
as it seems, to cover the Maese and Sambre. The
Hereditary Prince of Orange is very active ; he has
already visited a great part of our frontiers toxyards
France, and is expected to leave us shortly, to con-
tinue! his inspection.
It is :Armed, that four new regiments are to be
raised without dilay.
Within these few days, the correspondence between
London and Brusuls has been very active. The last
courier finding Lord Castlereagh gone, followed him
to Paris.
AUGUST 28.—Lord Castlereagh, after baring treat-
ed in this city about affairs of the highest importance,
connected with our future destiny, set off this morn-
ing for Paris, whence he will repair to the Congress
nt Vienna.

continue to rise, in consequence of the large per.
chases made by English ♦isitors. This it a lament-
able picture for Old England !
The chief occurrences of Monday in Paris, as de-
tailed in the illoniteur,. consisted of a Fete, in honour
of the King, given by the Citizens of Paris.
Some dry fia.incial discussions took place, on that
day, in the Chamber of Deputies. All the speakers
concurred in praising the measures of the King, and
expressed their confidence in his wisdom.

PARIS, AUG US 1' 30.
The programme for the fete given yesterday by the
City of Paris to his Majesty Louis XVIII. was corn-
i-letely executed.
At an early hour in the morning salvoes of artillery
announced the grand fete which the good City of
Paris was to give to his Majesty. Most of the shops
were shut. At eleven o'clock an immense crowd
filled the garden of the Thuilleries, the streets adjoin-
ing the Castle, and covered the quays by which his
Majesty was to pass to the Hotel de Ville. His Ma.
jesty on coming from mass, shewed himself to the
people, and was received with the most joyful accla-
mations. At two o'clock the amusements of the
Chimps Elysees commenced. Fountains of wine were
seen here and there, and shops filled with eatables,
which were gratuitously distributed among the people.
His Royal Highness Monsieur, with the Ducs d'An..
gouleme and Berri, walked in the Champs Elysees,
and were every where received with cries of ;Iwo
lei Bourbons. The river was crowded with boats filled
with spectators, and rowed by men dressed in white.
At five o'clock precisely his Majesty entered the
Royal carriage, and the procession commenced in
grand stile. Having dined, his Majesty retired about
half-past nine; when the Ball commenced, which
lasted until next morning.
At ten o'clock there were fire-works on the Pont
Louis XVI.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess d'Angnuleme
wore on her head, a superb diadem of diamonds,
which were presented to her by the King, her uncle:
The Monks of La Trappe hive been permitted to
establish themselves once more in France. Their
Deputation was most graciously received by the King.
The pike of our funds rises considerably, in conse-
quence of the large purchases made in them by the
English-an additinnal proof of the solidity of cur
financial system. One description of funds has risen,
within a few days, fioni 65 to 79.
NAPLES, AUGUST.S.
As a consequence of the Decree of his Majesty re.
lative to strangers, more than a thousand foreign
employe: have quitted Naples, and five hundred peti-
tions of naturalization have been presented to the Go.
vei nment. His Majesty has given orders to examine
them with the most scrupulous attention, and that
none shall be conveyed to the Council of State but
those of such foreigners as have a just title to be pre-
szrved in the exercise of their functions. This order
of things causes great joy to the Neapolitans.
A Decree of his Majesty bears, that all the Epis-
copalities of the three Departments of the Marches,
which were sequestrated by order of the last Govern-
ment, and which are not yet alienated; shall be re-
stored to their respective titulars.
The return of our brave soldiers from the garrison
cf Dantzic has been celebrated with great festivity
by the inhabitants.
There arrive in our ports many Sicilian and Mal-
tese vessels, laden with grain and col:nial produce :
never were the necessaries of life and merchandize
cheaper. The people every where bless the King.—
Some partisans of thC old Government have endea.
voured to delude the public opinion : they were im-
mediately arrested. The Court of Rome endeavours
to obtain some explanations from our's on the subject
of the Litierale, which is still occupied by our troops
but as it is difficult to understand what is meant, it
is probable, notwithstanding the ou skit, that the
Congress will clear up all.
MILAN, AUGUST 15.

A great number of oar General Officers have re-
fused to serve, in consequence of being ordered out
of Italy l The- organization of the Italian Regi-
ments is completed with great difficulty, because they
are sent into Germany and the Tyrol as soon as
raised. On the other hand, Austrian troops are daily
pouring into the Italian provinces, which Austria
pretends to keep.
LEGHORN, AUGUST 14.

The Barbary. Pirates no longer infest those seas
with so much insolence as heretofore. Commerce
revives, and there have arrived several ships from the
Levant.
The plague has ceased its ravages at Smyrna.
The late measures taken against the Jews at Rome
by the Holy Office, have caused a great number of
rich families of this nation to withdraw from Rome.
The tribute formerly paid by them, having been re--
demanded, they refused payment, thinking it too tau
rniliating.

tive to the demand of a federal aid made by the Can-'
ton of Saint Gall :
" Although the spirit of disobedience, which has
been manifested in districts of Uznach and Sargans,
has long excited the attention of the undersigned Mi-
nisters Plenipotentiary, they, nevertheless, thought
they could rely entirely on the vigilance and firmness
which the Diet will not fail to display for the main-
tenance of the arrangements of the Circular of the
31st of May, and which established, in conformity
with their Note of the 20th of the same month, the
immutability of the status quo of the possessions of
every Canton, and of the political relations of their
inhabitants to the definitive arrangement of affairs
in general.
" It is with regret, therefore, that they conceive'
any doubt on this head, particularly since it has come
to their knowledge, that there are Swiss Magistrates
who seek to elude the execution of this provisory law,
upon the observance of which, no person can deny,
evidently depends the preservation of the internal
tranquillity of this country. Let not this peace be
disturbed, that all the authorities in all the Cnntens
be invariably respected ; let not that be regarded as
a problem which is not one, wherever the love of one
common country is not stifled by tile blindest Can-
tonal interests. Over this the undersignc.l are obliged
to watch. They hope. in consequence of the wisdom
and dignity which the Diet will no doubt display in
this, as on all other occasions, with a vigour propor-
tioned to circumstances, but always superior to in-
trigues and agitations."—Signed, &c.
In the difficult circumstances in which Switzer-
land now stands, the Great Council of the Canton of
the Grisons has appointed a Commission of twelve
members, destined tq take a share in us deliberations
in extraordinary circumstances.
GENEVA, AUGUST 20.
flis.E;oellency Mr. Stratford Canning, the Bri-
tish Minister, has transmitted the following note by
the Counsellor d'lnvernois :
" The undersigned Envoy Extraordinary and Minirer Pieni-
potentiary of his Britannic Majesty to the Swiss Conte 'era ion
seizes the opportunity afforded by the passage of :he Counsellor
M. trinvernois, to convey to the Provisional Government
of
Geneva a strong testimony of the interest which Ws Roya' H.gh-
nest the Prince Regent feels for that ancient and resvcalale
Republic,
" His Royal Highness cannot forget the close relaions,
strengthened by a cmforntity of sentiments, and consecrated by
time, which existed, and in fact have never -ceased to. ex:st, be..
tween Great Britain and Geneva
" To consolid.ite this union, by founding the independence of
the RepOlic on a broader basis,where it may mistime a situation
worthy of its new destinies, would be a task so much the more
agreeable to his Royal Highness, since he considers the aggran.
dizement of the territory of Geneva, and its union with the
Swiss Confederation, as the measures best adapted to ensure to
the latter the maintenance of its neutrality, and to contribute, by
these means, to the repose of Europe.
Actuated by these sonsiderations, the Prince Regent ardently
wishes to be able to answer the hopes that may have been
grounded on the dispatch of the Ist of Miy, 1814, addressed to
the Government of Geneva by the Ministers of the Allied
Powers to the Swiss Confederation; and the Plenipotentiary of
his Royal Highness, accredited to the Congress of Vienna, will
not fail to join those of the Allies of •3reat Britain, to co-operate,
as far as circumstances will permit, in the accomplishment of so
iipportant an object.
" Impressed with the justice which distinguishes the generous
and enlightened intentions of his Royal Highness, the under .ign!.cl
takes particular pleasure in communicating then to the Provi.
hional Government of Geneva. (Signed)

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 24.

Yesterday one of the Sultanas of the Grand S?ignot
was happily delivered of a Prince, who w.ss imme-
diately named Sultan Achmed. This event has
caused a general joy throughout the whole Empire,
and fetes and illuminations have been ordered as usual
for five days.
The Ministers of the foreign Courts who reside
here, wait with impatience until General Ardreossi
receives official intelligence from his Government, to
be communicated to the Sublime Porte. They have
already made great preparations for giving fetes on
the occasion of the Peace happily concluded between
the Allied Powers and France. This delay has
hitherto prevented the corp:' Dilzlematique from pay-
ing General Andreossi the usual visits of ceremony.

A letter from Paris,: dated on Monday evenings
mentions some particulars of the grad ceremonies of
that day, in which the KtNifi visited the Hotel de '
vale, on the occasion of the fete given by the city of
Paris. An immense number of people assembled
early on the Quays and the Champs de Elysees to see
the procession ut the Court to the Hotel de Ville, and,
to witness the distribution of bread and wine to the'
populace. The 'Accession was splendid : above SO
of the KING'S coacLes (the greater part drawn by
eight horses, and the remainder by six) conveyed his
MAJKsTY, the Royal Family, the Ministers of State,
and tlo Great Officers of the Household. The Duke
of WELLINGTOI4 went in State. The cries of "Vivo
le Ra 1" wire enthusiastic. When the Kirto reached
the Hotel tie Ville, he was received by the Principal
Magistrates of the City, and he entered the Hall, pre-
ceded by them, and accompanied by the Prince of
BENEVENTX. the band playing the English Anthem,
~ Goy Save the King," which has now become a French
naeionar tune. A.mnst all the Englsh of distinction
in Paris were at the Fete. In the evening the city was
illuminated. His MAJILSTY rtrUrtied to the Thud-
!cries about nine o'clock, and the acclamations were,
if pohsible, louder than betOge, At ten o'clock some
very splendid hte.works were exhibited from Pont
Louis Quinze, and 4 balloon ascended, from which
some brilliant tire-works exploded after ithad ascended
a few kindred feet, and the words, 4' Louis de Desire,"
stirreunded by stars, &c. were visible to all Paris.—
The wine was made to play front about 20 fountains
in the Champs Elysies, and though there were th..u-
, sands anxious to obtain a portion of it, yet there Was
no riot. Nothing cccurttd to damp the *metal joy.
