At a late hour this morning, we Pave received Brus-
sels Papers to the 14th instant, but they contain
no political news whatever. Several bands of armed
beggar& (a curious association, something like that
of the beggar in Gil Bias) have lately made their
appearance, it is said, in the immediate vicinity of
that capital, at a place called Vilvorde, and levied
contributions in provisions upon the farmers. We
should suppose from this, that either the distress is
Very panusual, or the police very negligent ; but if die
truth were known, the latter probably would be found
to be the case. At the time when the French were mas-
ters of the country, no such scenes took place ; but the
economy of the present Government, which is severe to
an excess, mars all its other qualities, though they are
neither trivial nor few. Superadded to this nuisance is
the evil of frequent fires ; and one man is now under sen.
tenee of death at Ghent, for having wilfully set fire toi
the mill and barn of a farmer. It is suspected that

many of
_the other fires have had their origin in the

same diabolical cause.—We extract the following as

BRUSSELS, Faa. 13.
The Marquis de Chabanses, who is In prison here, and whose
midoemses are well known, has just published some account of
M. Maubreuil, who, be says, has made him &squinted wick all the
particulars of the mission Which be so muck regrets having accepted,
M. de Mebane.' has no &she whatever that the object of this
mission was the assassination of Napoleon and his sou ; but he
solemnly declare, that an August Personage kid no knowledge of
this infameos plot.
The author reports that M. de Maultreuil told him be bad been
commissioned by M. de Talleyrand to execute this execrable piano
and Maubreuil says, that be delivered to M. de Vitrolles the dia.

of some of the• third-rate Powers of Germany, but which
can neither gratify the curiosity, nor interest the sym-
pathy, of English readers.
The Oriole/ Spedater having either nothing of a novel
nature to communicate, relative to the struggle so long
pending io Greece, or at least no intelligence, suited to
the taste of its Readers, merely relates the buccaneer-
ing adventures of some Greek mystics. One of these'
appears to have ended in a very tragical manner for
the piratical heioes of the tale, who, mistaking an Eng•
lish brig of war, the Zebra, Captain WILLIAMS, for as
easy and rich prise, ordered ber to lie to, accompanying
the peremptory demand with an ungracious salute
of musketry. Captain.Wmwss, tired, it is said, of

some of his men might be wounded, returned the corn.
pliment with a broadside, which, as the mystic nevit
made its appearance afterwards, is supposed to have seat
it to the bottom. 'lle other adventure is not quite so
tragical, nor does it present so "great a moral lesson,'
for it exhibits violence triumphant, and weakness op-
pressed. The pirates, four in number, did not make so
fatal a blonder in this as in the former instance, buffetl
in with a defenceless vessel, the Amphitrite, a Freud&
sloop, bound from Marseilles to Canes, in Candia.
They overtook her about four miles from Car. Spada;
in that Island, and put on board one hundred men,l
armed with mu-kets and pistols. After summoning
the Captain to deliver up his cash, and receiving an
answer, the most grating to piratical ears, that there
was none, they proceeded, it is said, to the most hot-
rible excesses, and pulled down the Rag, which they
cut up into sashes, carried away all the provisions, the
clothing of the crew, and evert the ship's papers. For-
tunately for the vessel, this violence was not committed
in the open sea, as otherwise she might have been et•l
posed, in her totally destitute situation, to the most
frightful hardships. Having obtained a temporary
supply in one of the ports of Candia, she was able to
(reach Smyrna, where, as might be expected, the account
which the Captain gave, excited the greatest indignation.
It appears that the Marquis Pamtmcs, Commander-in-Chief of
the Austrian Naval forces in the Levant, has lately left that statism
fee Venice, leaving the command to Captain assinoto of the Tide
frigate. The Greeks, who hate him cordially, will not be sorry for
his departure, and it must be allowed that they bay, mote ground
far their rooted antipathy, having uniformly experienced the effect
of his ill-will, and having had Gauss, in seversl instances, to complain
of his in-treatment.

The Paris Paperc, which arrived last night, contain
on news whatever either imp Spain or Portugal. But no
news, they say. is good news, which seems robe vetified by
,he state of the Realer, which nearly maintain their high
