BRUSSELS, AUGUST 17.

'The day before yes•erday, in the evening, his
Grace the Duke of Wellington, accompanied by se-
veral Ofli:ers of his Staff, arrived in this city, coming
from London, and alighted at the Hotel de Belle
Vue. Yesterday morning, before day-break, his Grace
departed with General Kraycnhoff, who is charged
with every thing relative to the execution of the plan
of the newfortifications which are cr,nstrtictin,, on the
Southern fruitiers of the kingdom. His Grace is
going to Charleroi, Namur, and other towns.
AuousT 18.—We learn by letters from Mentz, that
the whole city has been thrown into alarm by a quar-
rel between some Austrians and some Prussians. The.
soldiers of both nations ran furiously about the streets,
loading their arms. They fired several times, and
blood has flowed. The two Governors spewed great
energy, and succeeded in restoring order. The cause
of the dispute is still unknown, as well as the num-
ber of killed and wounded.
One Chevalier has been arrested at Maestricht, for
crying Napoleon for ever ; I hope he will soon
Come back." He was sentenced to only a month's
imprisonment, being drunk at the time.'
AUGVaT 19.—The Duke of Wellington, after
having visited the works erecting at Charleroi, and
ost a part of the Banks of the Meuse, as well as the
Ct.tdel of Liege, has returned to this city. Yester-
day morning, at the sucment when the prizes were
distributing to the pupils of the Royal School of
Design in the saloon of the Orangery, his (race was
visaing the Museum ; the Chiefs of the Institution
being informed of this, immediately waited upon
him, and requested him to honour this ceremony with
Lis pr,•:-.ence; the illustrious General condescended
With the greatest affability to their request. On his
einrance into the saloon, which was filled by a Int-
niercus and brilliant assembly, unanimous acclama-
tions expressed the public admiration and tespect for
the Hero of Waterloo. His Grace, at the intteaty
of the Directors of the Establishment, deigned tc de-
liver the prizes to the successful candidates; and the
first who obtained this honour, having by a happy
thought offered to the Bri:ish Hero in exclta..ge a
branch of laurel. the applauses were renewed wan
still mole warmth : the llake • was out of unitoi so,
aad wore no Orders. His Grace has now left tha
city to go to his head-quarters at Cambray. and Crum
thence to Paris.

VIENNA, AUGUSI
The Emperor will depart on the 20th of this month
to go and pass some days on his estate at Hollitsch,'
in Moravia. His Majesty will return by the end of
Augu3t. This jaunty would be sufficient, if it were
uccessary-, to confute the report which has been fur
some months in circulation, and which foreign news-
Papers have but lately repeated, that the three allied
B-vereigns would have an interview at Toeplitz.
For these three days past, there is no longer such
a crowd about the Hank, because every one knows
for certain the day when he can chatt:le his paper ;
but there is sucb a pressure at the Bureau when
the petitions are deliveted, that it has been necessary
to double the guard. Thts crowd will, however,
diminish, in proportit,n as the regularity of paytmat
atiall be m ide upon the number of dertionds.—
All those who, present thems-lves •annot be (Ps-
patched with the same celerity and exactness: a dif-
terence is made, as it is between those who want
money for their busintss, and the speculators, who
only want to s, and the means of the Bank, and to act
upon.the exchange accordingly, though these ate ge.
nerally satisfied last and partially. The exchange on
Augsburgh has risen to 2871.

SWI TZERLAND, AUGUST 9.
Several manufacturers of Basle, affected by the,
distressed situation in which their workmen are, have
jest granted them an increase of wages, partly in
bre ia, in order thus to alleviate their misery.
The Prince and Princess Royal of Wirtemberg
passed the tith at Lausanne, where they were received
with every testimony of respect.
Upper and Lower Underwald have at length ac-
cepted the agreement which terminated their too
long quarrels. By this act Upper Underwald re-
mains in possession of the Valley and Convent of
Lngelberg, and furnished a proportionate contingent
in men and money. The funds which the Convent
has paid into the chest of the poor of Lower Under-
weld remained with the latter. The political rights
of the two parties are fixed upon a footing of .perfect
equality. There has been also an amicable arrange-
ment made between the two Rhodes of the Canton
of Appenzal. Lucerne has invited the Cantons sepa-
rated from the Diocese of Constance to a second con-
ference at Lucerne in September, and has at the Cline
time laid before them the urgenvnetessity of rallying
round a new national Bishoprick.
DRESDEN, AUGUST 9.
The Prussian and Saxon Commissioners who were
at Dresden, left it some days since to fix the frontier
line of the two Kingdoms. It is, however, pretended
that these are still several points in dispute. At
Leipzie they hope that the sons of Prince Maximilian
will study at the University in that city.
To make up for the great reduction in the army,
the Liedwelir is to be organzed to the number of
40,000 melt. It will compiisa all persons between
.
18 and 4u years of age. Those from 40 to 60 will
form the Landsturna. The Captains of Circlet are
shittly to meet at Dresden to consider of the means
of organising these corps, so that the service may be
OA little burdensome as possible to the inhabitants.
From many expressions in the Norwegian Papers,
one sees that Prince Oscariwill shortly appear in the
character of Viceroy of Norway. Crn the 4th of July
he c enpleted his 17th year; and•accor. ding to the
Swedish laws. he will as Prince be of age at IS.

Vlie received this morning a supply of German
Papers. Their contents will be fouud in a preceding

column.
We have also received the Paris Papers of Tuesday
They contain
,an interesting article from Civita
Vecchia on the subject of the Algerines. The Ame-
ricans, it would appear, have been beforehand with
us, for they have actually commenced the salutary
work of destruction. The Turkish Government has

left the Regencies, that sis to -say, the Pirates, to

themselves.
The private letters from Paris state expressly, that
Insurrections, headed by Ex-Officers, are not unfre-

quint in various parts of France : the Paris Journals
are completely silent on these topics. We, neverthe-
less, must believe the private accounts. They are
too minute in their details to be unauthentic.

PARI.3. AUGUST 20.
The Criminal Sessions at Dijon have had three
dreadful cases betore them. On the 15th, a vine-
dresser was condemned for murdering his mother :
on the 16th, a girl, 19 years of age, was convicted
of poisoning her father and mother ; and ott the 17th,
a mother was convicted of killing her child. Oa the
19ih, General Veaux, six other parsons, and a fe-

male, were to be tried for conspiring against the le-
gitimate government, previous to March, 1815.
Several others, who have been guilty of the same
crime, but who have fled, will be tried for contumacy.
Two monsters, in the shape of women, have been
imprisoned at Bayonne, for burying alive a new born
infant, of which one of them was delivered.
The state of embarrassment experienced by all
classes of society is not, as some discontented spirits

would insinuate, confined to France. The scourge

cif war has Wien on the conquerors as well as the

conquered ; and the finances of the greatest States of
Europe experience more or less the distress which a
concourse of circumstances, almost unexampled in
history, have produced. The reductions made by
English families in the number of their domestics, the
charitable associations to which they are obliged to
recur to supply the necessities of the poor, the dis.
turbances among the working classes in several pro-
iinces of that country, the precautions adopted by
the Bank of Vienna, the loans made by different
Government%) are all facts which very clearly indicate
that our misfortunes are, if that can be a motive of
consolation, at least shared. But what an encourage-
ment to patience do we no, find in the paternal soli-
citude displayed by all Sovereigns in their endeavours
to abridge the duration, mitigate the effects, and re-
move the cause of these evils ! The Princes placed
near the throne participate in these noble sentiments
of commiseration, an I withdraw from the expenses
the maintenance of their rank requires, sums which,
distributed with an enlightened beneficence, will con-
vey to the places that have most suffered succours to
serve as pledges of their generous intentions and com-
passionate humanity. The Duke of Berri has ex-
toded to a greater distance the marks of his bounty,
the happy appanage of his august family. The in.!
digent of a country, to which he was in Iris turn in.
debted for the honourable hospitality formerly given'
by his grandfather, Louis XIV. to the Princes of the
same nation, have received from him a mark of re-1
membrance which attests that his magnanimous
heart knows no point of distance to which he cannot
find occasion to convey a benefit.

CIVITA VECCHIA, AUGUST 4.

The St. Anse, a Sardinian vessel, arriving from
Sassari, Captain Andrea Delbone, has'brought intel-
ligence that a Tartan, from Gibraltar, has in its turn
conveyed the information that the American :qua-
dron was cruising before Algiers, and had already
demanded of the Dey satisfaction for the violation of
the treaty—that the Dey had sent one of his nephews
on board of the American Comniodore, and the lat-
ter had at first refused to receive him—that the Al-
geria. Deputy returned a second time, and was ad-
mitted, when he offered every satisfaction. The lat-
ter demanded that the Christians of all natioasasho
wished to quit the Regency of Algiers, should be at
liberty so to do : it should seem that this demand
was not foreseen loy the Dey, who hoped to get off
for an act of submission. The Americans then burnt
five vessels in the Roads : it is generally suOposed
also that they landed, and that the Dey in conse-
quence quitted Algiers.
It appears that the Porte is not inclined to draw
down the vengeance of Europe, and to lose Albania,

PRIVATE LETTER.

" PAIL'S, AUGUST 19.
" The F dole Am; sir Rei has been suspended since Saturday
law, for haviog contradicted the report of the Chamber not being
assembled this year, and for the inset-lion of yet very militated
facts on the late serious commot ions at Strasburg and Nancy. It
la supposed the interdiction of this Royalist Journal will be dis-
continued to-morrow ; it has, however, lost its privilege of ap-
peasing in the evening. You may rely on the exactness of the
following statement which I tiansmit you. In one of the public-
houses at Strasburg, some Of the lower class of the populace, and
certain French and Austrian hussars were drinking together: a
number of the soldiers of the legion of the Vosges were there also.
An altercation arose between sore of the National Guars and
the regular .f loops ; the homer were joined by the populace, and
the treasonable cry of " Vive Fhmpereur r was proffered. The
drum beat to arms, a skirmish ensued, and 13u persons were
kUhd and wounded on the side of the rebels.
" On the other part, a number of French hussars an.l other
troops, under the orders of General Briton, were killed. Nume-
rous arrests have since taken place, and the town is said to be in
a state of tranquillity. At Nancy, though no blood was spilt,
the affair was of a more important nature. An Officer of Engi-
neers, formerly one of the Chiefs of the Military College at
Met, and since employed in the War Department, organized a
serinus conspiracy to cake possession of the town, and secure the
persons of 'the Royal Authorities. A considerable number of
Officiii on half pay and disaffected individuals co.operate,l in this
plan. Twenty minutes before its explosion, it was announced to
General Villate, who instamaneously had eleven of them semtd,
and the nest morning twenty-six of their accomplices. Out of
this list, ainetern are Et-officers."
The following is an extract of a letter from an Of-
ficer in the British Army stationed at Samer, in
in France, dated the 19th instant:
" I do not think France will be long before she is
embroiled in a fresh war; for she it calling out all
her Militias, and offering bounties for volunteering
into Regular Regiments: recruiting patties are also
out, and a party of the Cuirassiers are now recruiting
in this place. The people, in general, are very much
discontented, and are divided into three parties, viz.
the Land-owners, who adhere to Louts, the Blna-
partists, and the Revolutionists.—The inhaliitants
*treat the English soldiers with great respect, but it is
more out of fear than love. Every thing, except
sugar, tea, and English cheese, is here very cheap--
the latter will fetch 2s. 6d. per pound. We are only
eight miles from Boulogne; and the place is dread-
fully infested with brigands, who would, were they to
find yt•.o unarmed, murder you for a frank. I am
i sorry to inform you, elat en Friday night our Corrl-
I was robbed and murdered between this place
and Boulogne : but our sol,lie.-s give them a scouring
wherever they can meet them ; and if they ;ie.tr the
rattle of an English dragoon, they arc off in all instant."

The PRINCE REGENT never suffered so severe an
attack of illness, as that from which he is ri.)w hap.
pily recovering. It was an inflammation of a most
alarming kind, from which he was relieved by co-
pious bleeding. No fewer than thirty-six leeches were
applied yesterday morning. His Royal Highness
was so much better as to be able to take some veal
broth—but he still remains at the Stud House.
Toe Princess CHARLOTTE has an insuperable ob-
jection to Camelford House, which is Jul!, close, and
inconvenient. But the Illustrious Couple
have re-
solved, rather than add to the burthei's of the nation,
to accept apartments in Kensington Palace. They
are to have those formerly occupied by the Princess
Of WALES, to which the Duke of KENT'S will bi
annexed, during his Royal Highness's absence on
the Continent.
The Earl of NOIIMANTON is gone from Seymour'
Place. to Richmond Park, Surrey.
Letters from Bilboa mention, that British Cotton
goodi are no longer admitted to entry in the ports of
Biscay, in consequence of a most peremptory order
received from Court ; the execution of whi:h in the
above port was confided to General LoNoA. Several
valuable seizures had been made.
The only shadow of civil liberty which remained in
Spain has at length been destroyed by the King--By
Letters just received from Spain, we are informed,
that an Order was lately sent down from Court for
Promulgation in Navarre, and being laid before the
Deputies for their sanction, agreeably to immemorial
custom, was refused their sanction. In conseqUence
of this, the Viceroy (Eseaust.eTa) arrested the whole
of them in their beds, and sent them to prison. The
Kingdom of Navarre is that portion of the Spanish
Monarchy which had retained its ancient rights and
privileges in the more perfect state, the,.eneroachments
of the Croats and its Ministers, having been felt there
less than in any other quarter. A permanent body
of Deputies from time immemorial has existed, to
whom the guardianship of these rights and privileges
was confided, and who have always been known to
watch over them with a jealous 'case. Notaithstand.
ing the general despotisns of the Throne, these ancient
charters have been held sacred, and no law or royal
order has been promulgated in Navarre, without hav-
ing been previously submitted to this Deputation, to
receive its sanction. This body had the right to de-
clare whether any measure emanating from the King
was opposed to the Constitution of the province, and
there the King also governed through the medium of a
Viceroy, the only one known in the whole Peninsula.
—By this arbitrary act of FERDINAND—an act with-
out parallel since the time of PHILIP 11. the constitu-
' tion of Navarre, which had survived the destruction
of that of Asragon, and which was the only partial
remnant of that political liberty which.distiligusshed
the catty annals of Spanish history, 4tas been swept
,away.—Spain ! Spain ! bow art thou fallen !
