missary, who.endeavonreil to object the American' 1
merehant"Captains to iiinute and,yexatious fonnali- 1
ties, which materially infringed on all liberty of cam. ,
merce. In the heat of argument Mr. -- not ,
only arrogantly criticised the supposed tendency of
the Consul's political opinions, but, losing all temper.
remonstrated with veb mence against his preserving
an eagle at his gatesif nd enjoined him to have it in-
stantly removed. Mr. Wilson naturally.insisted on
preserving inviolate the emblematic arm's of his coun-
try and Government. The Commissary, accustomed
to passive obedience, sent an armed fork to carry off
the Betusm of the United States. This insult, how-
ever, did not remain long unredressed. Mr. Wilson
forwarded energetic complaints .to Paris. The Mi-
nister deputed an Inspector-General of Police, who,
after having investigated the affair, made every pro-
per excuse, when the arms of America were solemnly
replaced.
" M. de Talleyrand arrived in Paris yesterday.—
He wid remain here a few days to assist at the ap-
proachhig Fete of Saint Louis, and will then return
to Valencay.
46 The late accounts from South Ameriza, which
have appeared in the French Papers, make conside-
rable sensations here. They have given rise to an
idle report of Joseph, Bonaparte's brother, being called
to the throne of Mexico. The success of Hunibert
and his companions, who are represented as the leadeis
there of a numerous army, produce a general wish
in the French officers on half pay to emigrate to that
country. The Editors of all the French Papers have
in consequence received orders to make no further in.
sertions relating to the events in South America.
" A Monsieur de Murat hadabeen applying for
some time for leave to add to his name that of d'Au-
vergne, the province from which he comes, that he
might not be confounded with the late Sovereign of
Naples. He had so far succeeded, that he had pre-
vailed on the Chancellor to lay before the King for
that purpose an ordonnance ready for the royal sig-
nature. His Majesty, however, objected to the ap-
plication, saying--6 Fshould be happy to gratify this
gentleman, bit I cannot decently give him the name
of one of my provinces. If he is determined to dis-
tinguish himself by some addition to his name, let
him call himself Murat rifirrergodt.' "

Yesterday a Flanders Mail arrived, and also the
French pape.s of Thursday. The opening of the
German Diet has, it is said, been farther postponed,
till the great questions involving the future fate of
Germany have been sealed by itustria and Prussia. It
so, it matters not whether the Diet meet at all. What
was the complaint against the order of things sa hap
pily overturned by the late efforts of the united forces
of Europe; but that one great Power took oral
itself to dictate to all the minor States. If the same
authority is to be assumed by two Powers, the minor
States may be called upon to register their decision,
hut they will never yield a hearty concurrence to
measures calculated to destroy their individual laic-
pendence. .
The Algerine troops have, it is said, been marched
into the interior : if so, the port towns are to be left
to their fate. In the mean time the corsairs continue
their depredations, and harass the trade of the Me-
diterranean. In consequence, the Italians complain
that 46 the English, forsooth, do not protect them as
effectually as they could themselves !" Who hinders
them from protecting themselves ? Let them set
about it. It is their right and their duty. England
will never attempt to prevent them. It is again
stated, but we have no decisive intelligence of the
fact, that the Americans have bombarded Algiers.

The Order of Malta appeals to have received exerste
unction from the EMPEROR of AUSTRIA. The present
members are to be suffered to die off, when the pro-
perty of the Order will be disposed of.
TALLEYRAND returned to Paris on Tuesdayevening.
The Paris Paper le Fiat .efsii du Roi, suspended
for inserting some statements respecting the disturb-
ances at Nancy and Strasburg, was restored to circu-
lation on Tuesday. None of the other Paris Papers
have yet mentioned these disturbances.

A Mail from Holland arrived this morning. The
Dutch Papers inform us, that the French Govern-
ment now finds the Northern Departments so loyal
and tranquil, that several persons who were impri-
soned for political offences have been set at liberty.
Probably the recent re-employment of many of them
as Military Officers has allayed their tuiliplent disposi.
tions. The Plague still rages in Constantinople and its
vicinity. Its ravages have now extended to the esta-
blishments of the Foreign Ambassadors "to the Pone.
The prevalence of this disease, so near the interior of
civilized and Christian Europe, is almost as great a
reproach as the continuance of the Slave Trade, or
of the Piracies in the Mediterranean. A small expe-
tion of Medical Officers, sent oat to Constantinople
and authorized to adopt such regulations of Medical
Police as should to them seem expedient, would soon
banish this scourge from mankind. The Turkish
Government has no right whatever to propagate
plague and pestilence among neighbouring nations;
and it would not be amiss if Lord Eastern' was in.
structed to announce this doctrine from the guns of a
British 74.

BRUSSELS, AUGUST IL
We learn from the French frontiers that the thiad
line of Cusuanloaiss is already organised, and dm

the Gigues do their duty with uncoMmon strictnett,l
and seem particularly to guard against the introducel
tion of British and Netherlands woven goods. The
troops of the Army of Occupation, when they assist
in stopping them, receive a fifth put of the valde,
and this has several times happened, among others
to the Danish troops. On the coast the officers are
extremely vigilant in preventing the operations of the
British* smugglers who very frequently come to the
coast in the night with prohibited goods.
lin the Nurth of France all is now quiet ; in some
places several persons who were in prison or under
the surveillance of the police, have been again set at
liberty. The French Government has excepted from
the general prohibition two Netherland Journals
published here.
