ERUSSELS, JULY 12.

A lever to the Ediior of the Asti-nal de la lidgipt
contradicts the assertion of the pictures having been
injured before they kit Paris, they,having been deli.
vered to the Commissione:s just as they were in the
Museum—that is, in very pod condition. The var-
nish may have been injured on the way by the damp,
but now that they are cleared, and his Majesty has
expressed his satisfaction at tilde good condition,
and most of them are replaced in the churches, whin
the amateurs daily admire them, it is really maim.

HAGUE, JULY Jo.

Some of the persons whom the Xing had admind
into the Equestrian Body in several provinces, bass
declined accepting this distinction. In consequence,
the superior Council of Nobility has been ordered to
erase their names from its lists, and his !Majesty has
further declared 'cur Gentlemen who are among
those that have refused, deprived of their offices cf
Chamberlains..

One of the main points connected with the Duke of
WELLINGTON'S visit-, is supposed to be the.tlidkulties
experienced by the
.French Govern:tient to meet nil
contingencies due to the allies, owing to the impossi.
bility of realizing the contributions levied.
i Spanish Gentleman who left Trinidad on the
23,1 of May, confirms the accounts respecting Geo.
liouvares capture of the Island of Ivlargrita, but
adds that the SUO Spaniards who had retteated tr
Pampitar, had effected their escape to Cumana.:—
Admiral BIiION lost a leg in the action with the Spa.
nish brig and schooner. BOLIPAIt was expected to
land immediately on the contigtv.us main, and it was
thought the Spanish shipping at La Guira and Puerto
Cavell° would tall into his hands, owing to his naval
superiority, as well as Caraccas and the entire Fro
vince of Venezuela.

The world is eminently indebted' to the Emperor
of RusstA for the stir that he has made respec-
ting the crusade against the Batbary Pirate/.
Imperial Majesty has made it a leading object of the
negec►atiuns that hare been lately' cat ried on, and
consents that ail tbe natisint shall contribute to the
expense Of the expedition which is now fitting out.—
His remonstrAnces on the subjt ct have been most WArin
energetic, and we ri.joice to bay, successful
. A Notice has been issued from tbe- Pint Wm
dated the 4th instant, renewing an old-instruction of
the Postmasters in the Country, requiring them to
transmit accounts of all remarkable occuarences within
their districts, that the same may be communicasee,
if necessary, to the &minks of State
