ANTWERP, SEPTEMBER 25.
Thursday, l&h September, the forestallers oifi red
to the farmers in the market tour ft mins above the
price which they asked for their corn. The burghers
were incensed at this, and drove the forestallers out
of the market I the populace then pursued them our
of the city, promising to hang them it they returned.
The same threat was uttered against such of those
forestallers as bare a residence here, if they returned

to their houses.
A letter front Lockeren is nearly of the same tenor
as the preceding.,
SIPTIMISER
• The accounts from the Rhenish frontiers state that
the price of corn is falling sensibly. The prices of
'other articles fall in proportion.
Lieutenatst-General Lard Hill has arrived here

from Paris.
MENTZ,SEPTEMBER ter.
The Gazette of this City contains the following
article t—" In No. 251 of the Frankfort Gast** we
read an edifying article from Paris, of the $d of Sep-
tember, of the following tenor :
" We are indebted to the diplomatic ability of the
Ministry for the success of a negociation highly im-
'portant to France. 'The great Allied Powers have at
'Length becolne semible I f the abuses caused by the
innusiterable claims of little Princes, single cities, and
private persons, by which the liquidation opened by
the Treaty of the 20th of November was swelled to
the immense amount of 1500 millions of francs. The
maximal of the total sum of the claim is now fixed at
45 millions, which are to be propertiosably divided
among the claimants."
This precious paragraph contains only lies and
nonsense; the claims of little Princes, single cities,
and private persons, if they are just, are cienbtless as
sound to an honest creditor as the di mri,ds of great
Princes, great cities, and great Generals. It is well
known that the Wrench in the countries which they
possessed always abused the credit lit individuals with
i promises of speedy payment. Hence it may be easily
explaieed why, upon the sudden catastrophe, their
mass of debts was become so great, particularly from
their urgent necessities at the end of their dominion.
But it is wholly false, that the claims amount to 1500
zeiilionbof francs; they amount, on the whole, to
only 824anleions, that is, little more than the half.
'Besides, Commissioners from both parties are ap-
;minted to examine their validity, and their decision
dem be walled for before it can be said what claims,
11 any, were unreasonabl.!. German citizens must
not be robbed of their property because the debtors
think the sum too large ; only lie must be rejected
whose demand is not founded Oil ustice. If we could
give the smallest credit to this Paris news, which
Was to titivation their diplomatic ability, with aril:-
pike towards the foreign Powers, we should think
we did wrong to the wisdom sad justice of the High
Allies.
" The probity and patriotic sentiments of Austria
and Prussia cannot allow us to expect that they would
quietly look on while it was attempted to plunder with
diplomatic address their subjects and confederates.
" No, fellow-citizens, never believe this absurdity,
which is an insult to all justice and right, and is also
not compatible with the dispositions of England and
Russia. which have also goarasused the treaty of the
20th of November, 1815. If it should be fouad
reasonable that France should be relieved from a
part of ire heavy obligations, this relief can respect
only the extraordinary contributions of 700 millions,
but by no means be taken from the well-founded
Iclaims of individual citizens, who cannot right thaw
selves, but who, with arms in their bands, or by
countless sacrifices, contributed to enable the High
Allies powerfully to assert their rights."

PROM THE LOWER ELSE, SEPT. Na

According to a letter from St. Petersburgh of the
!9th of August, the new of the beheading of Czeray
George, who was a Lieutenant-General in the Ros-
etta service and Knight of the Order of St. Anne of
the first Class, made an extraordinary impression in
the foreign department, and is the general subject of

a Courier was dispatched to the Russian Minister at
Constantinople.
The contents of the dispatches are said to have
