• Last night we received some German Journals;
and this Morning a Mail arrived from Holland...a.'
From these it appears that our commercial opPohents
are every where at work to revive in effect, it not in
name, the Exclusory Decrees of Bownpartvc against
the Commerce of this Couqtry. The Licnt Jouraial
aittrates its approval of Anti-English Societies aka
p ;mimic system, adding, that there never was a wish
snore general, or decidediy expressed, than that which
in Belgium rejects the influence, the productions, and
'She power of England. This sentiment, it says, is
nearly that of all Europe.
Among the extraordinary prosecutions of the day,
-is one at the instance of the Spanish Ambassador,
against a Belgian Paper, far calumniating the Inqui-
sitlon.—A libel on the Inquisition ! ! I
We greatly suspect that these tirades against Bri-
otliti Commerce are the production of the individuals
who have been compelled by the perseverance of
England to seek a residence elsewhere than hi France.
It appears that the intrigues of these men, who in one
way or another had contrived to command the opi-
nions of the Belgic Journals, have at length become
so troublesome to the Government,- as to call fur its
-interference. The Journal of Ghat notices this fact,
but affects to believe that not itself but Tim Corsailu-
fiord is aimed at.—Time will determine the fact.
Count Quitman°, who, along with another
Beigian gentleman, wash ately arrested at Pais, has
beets released. A police officer and two gees d'armes
ti.ok him from prison to his lodgings, where lie was
allowed 15 minutes to pack up his effects, with which
.he wsa trilltatd by ill tbcy.mt L 0 vz;bcicancs, di,di

A letter from Rotterdam, of the 2.Pth May, says,
that the Dutch galliot Jong Cornelis,• fro.n
pool, was hoarded on the 16sh instant, about s.vrn
le.tgues from Flushing, by a beat with about twenty
men, belonging to a squadron of Tunisian corsaii;i,
then in corwisting of a frigate, cutter brig,
and a cumr. They were very desirous of obtaining
a chair b 1 the Mediterranean, with which the Captain
:coulatti:t accommodate theta Sorne articles
.which to c7.ew had plundered were returned by the
Oriscets, mho ordered the Dutcb•Ctiptain not to sail
till the arquAdroti was out of sight. 'nese are the
