BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, San. Iv.
A British Cabinet Messenger, who left Odessa on the-
Stl of this month, passed through this city yesterday,
with dispatches for London.
SIIPTIEMIWAt 18.—His Royal Highness Prince Frede-
rick paid another visit to the army at Zeist on the 16th.
The grand reviews will begin next week, and continue
to the beginning of October. We hear that the King
will also visit the camp, and be present at the reviews
about the end of the month.

A Royal Decree of the 10th decides, ra that the city
of Antwerp shall enjoy exemption from the duties on
importation and re-exportation, by means of an entrepot,
in the same manner as it was granted t'r the city of
Amsterdam by the Royal Decree of the 9th of May
last. 2. That ull a new general entrepot can be created
at Antwerp, the convent of St. Michael, now employed
as a public entrepot, shall be used for that purpose, and
given up to the merchants on payment of a reas.,nable
rent, subject to such regulations as the Board of Cus-
toms may think necessary, to prevent abuses."
Stemma 19.—Generals de Kock and Van Geen
are expected to arrive shortly from Java. Colonel
Bischoff, who returned from that colony a few months
ago, has been appointed by his Majesty Major General,
and will soon return to Batavia to take the command

NEW YORK. Aug. 18.
On the morning of the 15th the British bark Lady
of the Lake, Captain Leitch. aimed at this port, under
charge of the United State.' schooner Shark. From
Capt. Leitch we learn that the Lady of the Lake sailed
from Liverpool on the 15th June last, for Philadelphia.

of coal. and.crates of earthenware. The passengers hav-

average passat , laid in, as steerage pa.senger s generally

served out sparingly. Much discontent was, in conic.
quenceof these things, manifested. particularly by the
Irish pas tof the passengers, who threatened to take the
Captain's life,- se that he deemed it prudent to carry

negat, where they were becalmed. The passengers thea
became more unruly than before, and at length took
possession of tlie little water which remained, nor
would they allow a drop, for- some time, for the use of
the cabin, and demanded, moreover, that they should be
landed immediately on the beach then in sight. Capt.
Leitch ordered the anchor to be dropped, and attempted
to semi his boat on shore for provisions and assistance,
but it was found too leaky. The bark was soon after
visited by some fishing smacks, who bargained to sup.
ply tilt vessel with provisions and water, and also offered
to convey the passengers to the shore. Captain Leitch
having found it vain to endeavour to prevent their laud
ing, threw no opposition in the way. While the fishing
grassels were engaged in landing the passengers, the
United S:ates' schooner Shark bore down and took pos-
session of the bark, and brought her into this port, not-
withstanding the destination of the vessel was Philadel-
phia, and the wind equally favourable for that port.
We understand Captain Leitch has entered his protest
against all the proceedings in the case, which has thus
far prevented him from reaching his port of destination.

THE NEW AUSTRALIAN SETTLEMENT.

We are this week enabled to present our Readers
with some interesting particulars of the late exredition
to Swan River. The early pan of the voyage from
Hobart Town proved stormy and adverse, which obliged
Captain Stirling to abandon the tender. The arrival of
the ship on the western coast must, of course, have beet.
*acceptable to all parties. affording a seasonaSle relief
from mote than a month's continuance of boisterous
winds. • The climate was there mild and serene. After
some reseArch a good anchorage was found for the ship,
when Capt. Stirling turned his attention to explore the in-
ter.or. He pen, tutted to the summit of the first chain of
mountains, 50 miles from the sea. The country was
found tO abound in natural attractions. Mr. Frazer,
the botanist at Sydney, who accompanied the expedi
lion, considered the soil remarkably rich. It was well
watered with freali water streams and mineral wings.
The natives, who appeared to differ in nothing born
the other tribes of New Holland, were frequently met
with, and though furnished with spears mete peaceable
and friendly. They were surprised to see persons with
white skins, and could scarcely believe that the colour
was real.
After a tour of ten days, the party returned to the
vessel, and Captain Stirling resumed his stirley of the
coast. An excellent and commodious harbour was dn.
covered About six miles from the mouth of the river. In
one part of the shore they found a romantic limestone
(Id 700 feet high, the face of which presented spacious.

and magnificent caverns, hung with stalactites, of the'
purest and most beautiful kind. From some of them
flowed chalybeate and saline springs, nothing inferior
in virtue to the most celebrated spas in England. The
coast throughout was rich in mineral resources; among
them were found ores of iron, lead, copper, zinc, silver,
alabaster, and lime, specimens of which, we believe,
have been brought to Sydney and analysed. Granite
and other primitive roeics, affording excellent building
stone, wete plentiful.
For ourselves, we feel much gratified that England
should thus explore and appropriate to itself the va-
rious resources of this wonderful country. Doubtless a
spot like Swan River, affording au excellent harbour
and plenty of fresh water, possessing a fertile soil, and
enjoying, in the midst of enchanting scenery, a de.
lightful climate, will speedily be occupied and co-
lonised. The Success landed on a small island a cow
in call, two ewes, and a lamb and some goats. Several
gardens in good situations were formed, and well
stocked with seeds and plants. An English settlement
may therefore be said to be already formed, and its at-
tractions being thl3 happily developed, we doubt not
but it will speedily draw numbers to enjoy them.—Cape

GERMAN PAPERS.
TRIESTE, Sam a.
We hear from Corfu that Ibrahim Paella is asserts-
bling his troops in the Morea, and intends to take up a
position in a fortified camp between Coron and Modon.
That this assembling of tie Egyptian troops is for the
purpose of coming to an under.tanding for the evacua-
tion of the Morea, on the approach of the French expe-
dition, seems rather a doubtful supposition, which our
letters from Corfu call in question. They say, " Ibra-
him does not think of leaving the Morea; but is pre-
pared to make a vigorous resistance to any attempt to
compel hint to it. The French will find him ready for
battle, and their countrymen in toe Egyptian service
will probably do their utmost to serve their own country."
Ibtahitis i, said to have obtained, partly by force and
partly by money, a considerable qua, tity of provisions,
so as to have magazines in Coron sufficient to support
the troops for six months, or who knows what may hap-
pen in six months? How easily may the French army
itself be in difficulties about its subsistence in the bad
season, which renders the communication by sea pie-
carious? In short it was believed at Corfu that Ibrahim
would not leave the Morea unless compelled. Admiral
Codrington was said to have gone to Aiesandria—no.
body could guess the object en his voyage.
English, Bench, and Rossini couriers are now at
Ancona, ready to convey the dispatches from Corfu from
their Goverment,: to this island.-31g. Zeit. Sept. 14.
