It is evident that the Tyrant expects an carly at-
tack on the side of Flanders. He has sent Ney to ine
spect and command the army in that directioa ; ani
froin ths extensive pneparations of (he Allies we may
shortly expect to hear of an important blow caving
been struck in that quarter. The Duke of Welliny-
pton, we believe, is already at the head of an army of
150,000 men. :

A curious letter is published from the Bishop of
Orthosia, at Rome, March 15, to Tatleyrand, Arch-
bishop of Rheiins, in which, after commenting on
Napoleon’s atlempt, and its probability of success,
he thus continues: —* Lucian Bonaparte, who until
this day appeared indifferent as to his brother, at
lenght has opewly dectired for him. Yesterday, at
the house of the Princess of Wales, whoariived here
from Naples, he explained his route, and the circum-
stances anttending if, and stated, that he qwouid be at
Paris on the 15th, with 100,000 men! !

The new King of the Unis Pais Bas (for we have

He was receivid with joy by all the better classes.
Yet the Belzic troops who served under Napoleon,
are not to be relied on: for such is the unaccountable
ascendancy of (hat man, that the very people whom
' he treated worst, seem most attached to him. Jlow-
ever, the Bruxelluis detest him. They are flattered
with the importance of their city, where the new King
is about to*build immediately a magnificent Palace.

The Journal de Paris centains some observations
on the Declaration of the Allied Pewers, the general
tendency of which is to convince Europe that there is
no cause whatever for war; or even for alarm; for
that France, however, degrading the Treaty of Paris
may have been to her, is willing to maintain if
with good faith * In a word, that nothing is changed
in France but the Ruler,—Fouche has addressed a
circular letter to the Prefects, in which is audaciously

A Messenger from Paris arrived at Lord Castle-

French Government, which are understood to con-
fain a formal overture of Peace to this country. Lord
‘astlercagh inimediately laid them before the Prince
Regent, an! they aftcrwards became the subject of
«long deliberation in the Cabinet. The answer to
this overture will readily be anticipated. Our Go-
vernment, on such an Ocersion, can act only in con-
cert with our Allies, none of whom, we believe, will
be much inclined to respect the professions of a man
who bas never kept faith with any Power, and who,
having just violated a Treaty sulemaly entered into
with the whole of them, modestly recommend him-

Wr WILLIAM, by the Grace of GOD, King
of the Netherlands, Prince of Orange Nassau,

TO all to whom these presents shall come, Greeting !
The unanimous will of the Powers assembled at
the Congress at Vienna declared for the union of all
the Netherlands under the same common Govern-
ment, and (he inhabitants of the Belvic provinces
testificd to us in the most lively manner their joy at
this important event, and their desire that the Sover-
eign power might be extended tu them, which the
love of the Dutch bad given to us.
Deeply moved by these ex pressions of their wish-
es, we had, however, resolved to defer al] changes in
the existing arrangements, (ill the Uelibefations of
the Congress should be wholly ended, and (ill its ree
solutions should be published entire. “Bat the unex.
pected dfenls which have taken plaice in a neigh-
bouring kingdom jaduce us to alter our Intentions,
‘They make it necessary to answer the geal of of our
stubyects with equal zeal and to leave pone of them in
uncertainty concerning their duties and our inten-
lions. It is now thatuew difficulties Seem to arise in
prospect, it is at the moment when the sa.J recollect.

so inany peuple, that it becomes more im
necessary to establish a kingdom whieh the»

which distinguish the character of the

which we daily receive, we take the sceptre with no
other objeet than that of makins our Governmer €
subservient to the goud of these who are sub;
and to secure to them the uadisturbed e
all the blessings of concurdeand peace,
And we desire, that even the the naine
shatt be a pledyee of the close and pa

1 declare by these presents, that all the countries
belonging to it, traw h neefurward the hinedom of
the Netherlands, which shail be possess-d by us and

vill sucecesors on the thion-, the Royal title and div=
nity, adding to our tile Ghat of Duke of Luxemburg
un account OF Lhe special connection which thot prose
vince js desuncd to maintain with Germany.
But however these resolutions are conformable to
what we owe tu the catcnt of the Netherl ids, and
to their numcrous and industyigus inhabitants, we
think ourself equally obliged to provile, that the
name which we have born with honor ander all the
vicissitudes of fortune, and under which our ances
(ors have perlormed such manifold services iu the
cause of treeduin, shall not be abolished. We there-
tore decree, that henceforth the Heir Apparent of
the Ningdoim ot the Netherlands shall assuwe, bear
and keep the title of Prince of Orange, giving it im-
mediately herewith tv our beloved eldest sun, with
the more cordial satisfaction, es we are convinced
that he will maintain it in ils antient splendour, by
ine strict pertormance of his dutics, as our first sub-
ject, and as future Sovereign of the new State, and
thathe will atall times watch with courage and self
denial for the rights of his House, and for the secu-
rity of the peaceful and hospitable territory of the
Netherlands. You all my fellowcountrymen, who
inhabit this terrilory, open your hearts to confilence
and hope, The constituent parts of political hap-
piness are all in your own power, Be attached to
your country, in harmony with each other and free
trom jealousy, and you will be strong enough to av-
ertall the dangets that may threaten you. Europe
looks upon your union with interest and affection.
The Constitution which is already obligatory upon
t great proportion of you shall be subjected, as soon
as possible, to the regulations which may adopt it to
the wants and the wishes of all, and you shall find in
‘it the guarantee of your religion, upon which we all
set the higbest value. Useful institutions, under (he
blessings of the Almighty, shall promoie the free de-
velopement of all kinds of national industry, aud the

which falls to your lot shall remain (o distant azes

of preventing the escape of the United States’ ship

and insfraciions by the respective Captains, in situ-
ations :feull to Keep company, prevented separa.

covst, binvariably, on the gale moderating, placed
tie squadron on that point of bearing from the Hook,

have now to inform you of the success of the sqeadron,
in the capture ofdhe United States’ ship President,
Commodore Decatur, on Suaday night, afier an an-
xivus chase of eighteen hours.
On Friday, the Temedos joined me, with your order

but (bat wight the squadron was blown off again in a

Berea the supposed track of the enemy, and what
isa little singular, at the very instant of arriving at
that poiut, an hour before day-light, Sanday-Hook
bearing W.N.W. 15 leazues, we were made haony
by the sight ofa ship and brig standing to the south-
ward and eastward, and not more than two miles on
the AMajestic’s weather bow: the night signal for a
ceneral chace was nade, and promptly obeyed by all
he ships.
In the course of the day, the chace became extre-
mety interesting by the cmleavours of the enemy: to
scape, and the exertions vf tke Captains to get their
respective ships alongside of him, the former by cat-
ing away his anchors, and throwing overboard every
Sreabie article, with a great quan tity of provisions,
iad the latter by trimming their ships in every way
possibletocifect their purpose. As theday advanced,
the wind decliacd, giving the Endymion an cvident
advaniage in sailing; and Cap. Hope's exertions
enabled him to get ble ship alengside of the enemy,
and commence close action at half past five o'clock in
ine evening, which was continued with great es tian-
try and spiril qa both sides, fortwo kours anda hal,
when the Endmicn’s sails being cut from the van's,
the cnemy gota-'.ecad; Capt. H lope tiking this opm
portunity to bead new sails to cnad’e pmo to set his
ship alongside again, the action ceased, e Po-
mone geiling up at half-past eleven atni Pe l, i fir-
ing afew shots, the enemy hailed to say she had al.

Apd now, dir, a very pleasing part of my duty is

acria which the Lovtymdion was conducted, and the
gallantry with which she was fought: and whea the
ffect produced by her well-dicétet five wpon the
President is witnessed, it cannot be doubred but that
Captain Hope would have succected in either Jip-
termg or sinking her, kad aouc of the squadron been
in sight.
For your further information, I have the honour to
inclose Capt. Hupe’s lettcr, with a return of killed
