oppose `that the..Arnerican Squadron also will not

for nothing.

At slate hour last night we received some Ger.
is Journals, from which we have given extracts in
otu first page. We are happy to observe, that- the
accounts from different quarters respecting the h
'vest are very favourable, and that the price of corn
is in consequence falii;ig in .Germany and Swit•_
zerland.
The Diet, which was'to have opened at Frankfort,'
will'not, it is said, *proceed to business before the 14th
or 15th• Indeed, when the points of etiquette and
preliminary arrangements that are indispensible are
considered, we think it probable that the period for
real business will be still later. The discussions in
tltit Assem4lY are expected to be most important.

"A Mail from Holland arrived this morning ; if
.ere are to credit the intelligence.brouglit by it, the
trench GOVCIMIIIent are hint 'on 'something like mis-
chief : by way of employing theirarmy, forsooth,
they are meditating an Expedition to St. Domingo
At all events they are enlisting numbers of Men for
colonial service: Martinique and Guadeloupe are of
course the ostensible places of destination. We
subjoin some extracts from these papers :
BRUSSELS, AUGUST 5.
Some days *go they wrote from France, that sm.'
Pal o!t1 Generals, who bad served through all the re-
volutionary wars, having been consulted respecting
the best meads of reviving the warlike spirit in the
ahoy, have recommended as the best. means, some
expedition or other, as fonexample, to St. Domingo;
and tigive the troops those Generals in whom they
hare for many years placed their confidence.
. We now learn from Lille, that besides the recruit-
ink Ica. the standing army and espei:ielly for the
Royal Guard, a particular bureau is opened to enrol
recruits for the colonies. They take for this purpose
People cf good conduct, not sospected in regard to
, *Air political sentiments ; they take men up to the
age of 40 if they have already served. The regimenti
of GuedAloupe and
,blartinique are to be first coin-
pleted, and people begin to talk generally of the
etpdpinent of an•ezpedition to St. Domingo, iu which,
many old soldiers would glee ly engage.
The Russian corps under General Count Woron,
soli, whose head-quarters remain constantly at Mau-
beet% is to be entirely new clothed. We hope ghat
ayeat part of what is requisite for this purpose will
be furnished by these provinces.

Travellers who come from the departments where
the right wing of the Army Of Occupation is quar-
tered, unanimously declare that they never taw finer
or better equipped troops.
BRUSSELS, AUGUST 7.
Letters from Cambray of the day before yesterday,
contain the following statement : 66 His Serene High-
ness the Prince of Waterloo is expected bete in a few
days to resume the chief command of the Army of
Occupation. It is thought that his Higliniss will
slop here some days, then go for a short time to
Faris, and afterwards visit the Netherlands. Meantime
his presence here has become more or iess necessary.
lt sterns that particular eras are made to irflame
peoples' minds as well in the towns AS in the country,
especially against the British troops, and it is to these
crinsinal endeavours that the quarrels are asc:ibed
which have very frequently happened in some places.
As the Field Marshal makes his troops Observe the
strictest discipline, and has the smallest transgression
severely punished, he can also, on the other hand,
justly demand that such of the inhabitants as trouble
the public tranquillity shall be arrested and punished."
They write irons Sedan that the grand review of
the Prussian contingent has been again put on
account of the, weather and other circumstances, and
will not take place till after the harvest, in order to
do as little injury as possible to the country people.
In the departments occupied by the Prussians pro-
found tranquillity continues to prevail.
HAARLEIVI, AUGUST 7.
The accounts of the state of the rivers are again'
very unfavourable. On all sides, at Bois le Due,
Arnheim, Vreeswyk, Thiel, the increase is sudden
and considerable. The sluices which discharge the
water from the Wands must be shut again, and it is

justly feared that these inlands will be again over-
flowed with land waters, and those outside of the
dikes with river water.
From Bois le Duc they write that tliis rise of the
water seems to deprive the farmer of all hope of get-
ting in his second crop of hay, and that this rnakevit
feared distempers among the cattle will follow, the
- farmer being already obliged to give them all sorts of
enwholesome fodder.
The French General Amid, who is incltided in
the Ordinance of the 24th July, 1815, and ivho was
arrested in the Hanoverian territory, is still kept con-
fined. as one of Our newspapers says, at Hildesheim.
It is said that the option has been left him either to
be given up to France, or to remain confined for
life, and that he has chose the latter.
vERsAILLEs, AUGUST S.

for some days past" we b.ive received front all puts
