COBLENTZ, Aug. 25.

The corps of Blankenstein is encamped yet at Kueses, and is supplied from the magazines in this city. The accounts from Treves are of no importance, the French are not making any other entrenchments upon the Marienberg. They fixed immediately a short term for the return of the emigrants, at the expiration whereof the houses of the absentees were immediately plundered. Some of the ecclesiastics of the Chapter, having returned after the expiration of the term prefixed were arrested and sentenced to be shot, but we have no certain accounts whether this punishment has been actually inflicted. We hear nothing yet from the Prussians advancing towards Treves; in the meantime we are very quiet here and think no more of packing up and flying.
