Lo.vdo.v, June 13.
Paris Journals have arrived, extracts
from which will be found in another co
lumn. These papers quote the. rumor
which we inserted yesterday from a Flem
ish print, that the duke of Wellington has
purchased a great hotel at Brussels; and
further, that it is his grace’s intention to
bnild a country seat in the neighborhood
of Waterloo, which lias been erected into a
principality.- It is repeated that the ordi
nance of the king of Spain for establishing
a certain number of free port* in his king
dom lias been suspended by counter orders
from Madrid. This is complained of by
the porta in question as an instance of un*.
due partiality to the merchants of Cadiz,
whose services to t|ie court have been sup-
posed to purchase them many furmer ad
vantages, ail the expense .of their commer
cial countrymen. The king of Prussia,
accompanied by his eldest son, setoff about
the 25th alt. on his journey to Moscow.
We find by the Dutch mail that the com
merce of Antwerp hat rather languished
during the last 12 months. The number of
vessels which- entered inwards before tliV
1st of June, 1817, was in all 600. To the
same period of the present year there have
not arrived more than 250 merchantmen.
Part of this difference is, however, attri
buted to an extensive corn speculation,
which was carried on last year, and which
produced a teinpurar influx of ahippine to
the port of Antwerp. * -
