DUTCH PAPLRS.

BRUSSELS, SEPTEMBER M.
The Electoral College was opened wilt perfect
order at Lisle on the 19th, in consequence of the law,
from which one party in France dreads so much evil,.
and the other hopes so much good. The Electors
from the cantons which are occupied by the allied
troops came in great numbers to exercise their sight.
some pamphlets have bees distributed in the country
tending to excite alarm and distrust; but these at-
tempts have not attained the end proposed, as people
begin to be more and more convioted that tranquil-
lity and confidence alone can consolidate the happi-
ness of France.
Sarr. 24.—A1l the troops of the Army of Occu-
pation have returned to their former cantonments
since the 16th of this month, after the termination of
th: various reviews. The corps of this army are not
only not reduced, but no furloughs are given, in
order to keep them up to their full complement.
The British cavalry is entirely remounted. The
Duke of Wellington has returned to hishead-quarters
at Mont St. Marie, whence he has dispatched several
couriers to Paris and London.
It is now affirmed that the endeavours of the French
Ministry to obtain a diminution of the military cuu-
tribution have also been fruitless.
In all our Southern Provinces the Administrative
and Judicial Authorities have sent circular letters to
the Magistrates, desiring them to pay the strictest!
attention to prevent CCIIIIII arts which are practised'
to gain the price of torn. All these who are found
guilty of such, shall he immediately brought to jus-
tice, and punished according to the =sting laws.
Other measures of Police will not be neglected ; and
it is hoped that they will produce the desired effect
of reducing still further the prices of grain ; . and the
more so, as there are people who will prove that the
produce of this present harvest is sufficient to main.
tain the inhabitants of this country for more than
two years.

The silence so long observed by the Journals as to
the Young Pretender, or sham Daophin, at Rouen,
is at length broken by a sort of official 'odes of his
approaching trial, but which, like too many official
productions, seems as much calculated to aid as to
injure the cause it professes to expose to ridicule.—
The improbability of his story we can very well be-
lieve; but we should like to see it demonstrated by
s*mething more is the way of fact and common
sense, than the following rare specimen of physiolo-
gical skill displays. " The sit &est Lows XVII."
they say, " is absolutely devoid of instruction and
education (forgetting that, if his story of concealment
and desertion is true, be could have no opportunity
of obtaining either). The vulgarity of his mind is
akin to the vulgarity of his manners. His language
possesses none of that spirit which would announce
the young Prince by the happiest sallies. In vain do
we seek to trace in his face that nobleness which is
the characteristic impress of the features of a Boon.

senate son of Louts XVI. but the name %%high be has

And yet, in spite of all his tafisereeie influence, they
tell us, w:th greet consistency shortly after, that at

his story occupies any share of the public attention—

Another trial, not much inferior in interest—that
of the individuals implicated in the plot designated
'under the title of L'Eftioo Noir, also occupies some
space in the columns of these papers. It commenced
before the Court of Assizes at Paris, on Monday, and
was expected to continue during the rest of the week.
The individuals implicated are numerous, and of ra-
jet apperior rank. The Act of Accusation charges
