FRENCH PAPERS. • q PARK OCR )BER s. By a Royal Ordinance, dated September 30, the National Guard, who under Bonaparte had acquired . too muck of a military character, are now called back to their original institution, m aking it merely a municipal force. The regular Canons of St. John de Latran at Rome have become bankrupts for more than 500,000 scudi, and the creditors are put in possession of the eltates of the Order, among which is the church of the San Maria della Pace. The Marquis de la Tour Pupin, French Ambassa dor to the Court of linsssels, left that city on the 26th ultimo to go the Congress at Aiz-la-Chapelle. Yesterday a mad in a state of drunkenness was ar rested on the Boulevard , of the Temple, roaring out the praises of Bonapartp When interrogated before the Prefect of the Police, he was recognized to be a farmer at Romainville, who has had four sons taken from him by the conscription. The Dey of Algiers has promised that daring the continuance of the plague none of his cruisers shall approach any vessel of the United States. The court of Caseation has rejected the appeal of Pierre Marchand and of his mother, the widow Mar. chand, condemned to have the right head cut off, to be then led with naked feet, and their heads covered with black veils to the scaffold, convicted of having murdered a man, the father of one and husband of she other prisoner. The Mayor of the Commune of Arfeuille, near Montluyon, has seht an account of the death of a woman aged 111. Batbe Racault was born on the. 2'2d of January, 1707, and was married at the age of 12. She hat been constantly employed in the la . bouts of the field. She was remarkable for frugality and temperance, never had recourse to medicine, and preserved to the last all her mental and bodily facul ties. The Sub-Prefect of Montlucon wishing to have the portrait of this old woman, employed it female artist to paint it, who, in order to obtain a proper light, placed her in her old arm-chair near the -door of her cottage. It is probable that, sitting in a draught of air affected her, for on the second clay. zhe took a fever, and eight days after, the 17th Septem ber, died in the 112th year of her age. She has left a numerous family. One of her daughters is 87. • I ' 1' ) t I sit r !F • „s. AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, SEPTEMBER 29. PRIVATE LETTER. I sit down to the Journal of to-day, as I did yesterday, without having any thing farther to record than a round of Royal visits, ceremonies, presenta tions, and parade ; and probably history, if she con descends to be so minute, will have little else to de tail of these two days than such transactions. Yes terday the receptions and friendly visits took place. To-day similar ceremonies were repeated, with more pomp and ft3TM. All the courtiers and corps diplo matique were at their posts by an early hour, and their business (if it may be called such) continued with great activity to a late hour in the afternoon.— The Emperor Alexander waited upon the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria before eleven , iclock, and their Majesties returned the visit a short time afterwards. The King of Prussia came first. ar.d remained some time with his imperial guest— :lle Emperor of Austria arrived within a quarter of twelve, ie a splendid equipage, consisting. of three carriages, in the first of whier wore himself and a .distinguished person whose name we could not learn. Two General Officers occupied the second, and two Chamberlains the third. These three carriages drove hilo..the great court, before the hall of entrance. His Imperial Majesty remained upwards of a quarter of a.. 1 hour. His Excellency Count Benningsen, Ge • rernl•in-Chief in the Service of Russia, who had arrived on Sunday, came nearly at the same time to pay his homage to his Imperial Master, and remain ed in his hotel till two o'clock. Lord Castlereagh arrived a little after twelve, when the Emperor of Austria had gone, and remained with his Majesty for nearly half an hour. His Lordship came with the same equipage, and in the same dress, which I yesterday described. Neither his carriage nor.that of Count Benningsen at first entered the Court, though his Lordship's afterwards advanced to the front door to take him up. None of his suite accom panied him. As he was descending the great stair case, after taking his leave, the Duke of Wellington drove up into the court in. grand style, accompanied by Colonel Ilarvey and two other.Aides-de-camp.— His Grace remained a copsiderable time with his Imperial Majesty, who, as soon as the former had I.rft him, mounted his plain unornamented carriage, and drove off to the quarters of the King of Prussia. A har.dsome anecdote is connected with this visit, which, as it redounds both to the credit of the Hero of Waterloo and a Monarch who could appreciate his services, deserves to be mentioned. His Grace sent in the morning one of his Russian Aides-de camp to enquire what time it would be most conve nient for bis Majesty to receive his homage ?—the Emperor, without returning a direct answer to this message, privately descended the staircase, and or dering his carriage to be brought, drove off to the hotel of his Grace, to pay him that compliment which the latter was anxious to pay him, and to an ticipate an offer of respect by conferring a delicate and ur.expected honour. " Prince Metternich and Prince Hardenberg were presented like the other Ministers in the course of the morning, and each remained some time with his Imperial Majesty. I had almost forgotten the visit of the Duke of Richelieu, who did not present him self before his former master in his splendid equipage or With any of the distinctions of his rank, but pro ceeded on foot in a plain bourgeois habit, without aay orders or decorations. " About half-past two their Imperial Majesties of Russia and Austria, and all the Ministers of the Allied Courts, proceeded to the hotel of the King of I'russia, to dine with his Majesty. The troops defiled before the door, and the band of the guards played during the time of dinner. There were present at this entertainment, besides the three Sovereigns, Prince Hardenberg, Count Bernstoff, and General Ilacke, (Prussians); the Duke of Wellington, and Lord Castlereagh ; Count Capo d'lstria, Count Nes-, selrode, and M. Alopeus, (Russian Ministers) ; the Duke of Richelieu, and Prince Metternich. This august company separated at fire o'clock, and re. f ft A turned to their respective hotels.. The Emperor Alexander held a Coast at six o'clock, at which the -Prussian and other military officers now in the city were presented. In the evening the King of Prussia, accompanied by his ; son, Prince Charles, and Prince Wittgenstein, Minister of Police, honoured the Thea tre with his presence. The piece performed was Jean de Paris, in German ; and his Majesty seemed highly pleased with the entertainment. “ To this account, which may be called the 4 Court Circular' of Aix-la-Chapelle, I have no details to add concerning the re-anions and circles of the Sovereigns and Ministers in the evening. Preparations are mak ing at the coantry-horse of the Emperor Alexander for the balls and fetes which will be given these by his Majesty. The road all the way from the city to his residence has been provided with lamps at regu lar distances. Nothing can yet be said about the course which Congress will pursue. It is said, how ever, on good adthority, that from the precedents established at the Congress of Vienna and Paris, the preliminary arrangements wM be short, and that the Ministers can almost immediately proceed to the im portant business for which they are assembled.— Their conferences will not take place in the grand saloon of the Hotel de Ville, as was at one time sup posed, but at each other's hotels ; nor will there be any proces verbal made of their deliberations till they have come to an understanding oa each other's views with regard to the great question of the evacuation of France. The town, which hat been filling fast for some days, is now crowded with strangers. With out including the great numbers who arrived to-day and yesterctay t there arrived on Saturday and Sun darlsS persons, whose names are thought of cient co nsequence to be placed in a printed list of arrivals.. 'these you will conclude are not all persons of distinction, when I mention that among them them are violin-players and marehands de modes ; but the following extracts of this list will sheer the quality of them.

" The g.ty equipages and brilliant decorations of these strangers give this small city all the appearance of a great Court on a levee-day. We never saw so many stars in our life-time—they appear as nume rons at Aix-la-Chapelle as in the firmament; every Sovereign is surrounded with his constellation. The grotesque appearance and the affected dress of some of the students who have arrived here from the Uni versities, excite nearly as much attention as the Cos sacks about the houbehold of the Emperor Alexan der. It would not be complained of if the other Go vernments of Germany would follow an apparently very arbitrary regulation now issued by Austria, for bidding their students to travel during their vacation till they had laid aside their antiquated and affected fopperies. Madame Catalani is now at Dresden, and is soon expected at Aix-la-Chapelle. Madame Ikea. mier, the Paris banker's lady, who was about to leave Aix-la-Chapelle when Prince Augustus of Prussia arrived, still prolongs her stay. His Royal High ness, who first met with I.cr in the company of Ma dame de Stael, pays her frequent visits. " A certain Lord whose carriage wanted some slight repairs, applied to a blacksmith here, who, after he had finished the job, demanded for his work so extravagant a price that his Lordship re sisted payment, and a squabble having ensued, drew a pistol from his pocket to shoot poor Vulcan. The police took up the matter, and his Lordship is now under arrest, to stand his trial. The Government of Prussia has issued a monk ciliation of rix-dollars, with the name of that coin, which in German is El* Reichstkakr, impressed upon them. These circulate in the Prussian part of Saxony, and the Saxons, by thus dividing the word Ein Reich stial-er, make out a sentence, of which the literal translation is, HE STOLE A KINGDOM. " Among the list of arrivals we observe that 'of Madame la Comtosse de Montholon, from St. Helena. I have not heard that Madame la Baronne de Vi trolles and she haw formed any social connexions, or made any repprochotent." It appears, from Reports made to the French Mi nister of the Marine Department, that at Martinique the small-pox has been unknown for ten years, and that the number of persons vaccinated in that time, amounts to 50,009. Gaudaloupe is also equally free from the disorder. The King of FRANCE has Permitted an individual at Dunkirk, M. DAGNEAU, to give his name to a ves sel, which he is now fitting out in the harbour of Dun kirk, for the whale fishery, and has also given him private encouragement, this being the first equipment of that nature. It is to this fishery that the town of Dunkirk owes in a great degree its former splendour. Its 1790, thirty-four vessels of every description sailed itegtl this harbour for the whale fishery. .

The Commissioners gave i5l, and were served generally by the Jobbers. After the Commissioners had pur chased, some very heavy sales took place, and the Market at one o'clock looked heavy. The following Private Letter, received by the Times this morning from Aix-la-Chapelle, announces the important fact, that Congress has already come to a determination on the grand object for which it was assembled ; but we think it right to state, that we have not, after the most diligent inquiry, been able to meet with the least confirmation of this intelli gence in any of the other advices received in town previous to our going to press. The evacuation of France by the Allied Troops is said, in the letter re ferred to, to have been definitively resolved upon; the High Allied Powers, as well as the French Govern ment itself, being agreed in opinion that France• is now arrived at such a state of internal order and harmony that no danger is to be feared, either to the stability of the reigning government, or the general tranquillity of Europe, by restoring to its Sovereign and people all those rights of self-government which belong to a free and independent State. The Act to this effect, it is said, was agreed upon on the 3d inst. and Count CARAMAN was immediately dis patched to Paris, as the bearer of the important and pleasing intelligence to his Sovereign. The evacua tion is to take place in the course of this month, or early in the beginning of the next; and the dip'omatic labours of the Duke of IlicitExtzu being thus suc cessfully ended, he expects to be able to return to Paris, to receive the congratulations of his country men, by the 15th instant. With every friend to the continuance of a state of peace and growing prosperity, we sincerely wish that the High Allied Powers may be well founded in that confidence in the good disposition of the French peo ple, which is the basis of the critical stepthey are said to have now taken : but be the consequences of it what they may. we fed well satisfied that no good wks possibly to be obtained by continuing an hour longer in the occupation of the French territory, and are therefore most readily disposed to accord to the Act all the praise of being most prudent and wise: • " AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, OCT. 3, Smo'Ciocr, P.M. " I use the utmost possible dispatch in informing you, that the Most important of the business of Con gress is already terminated. YESTERDAY AT NOON, AND AT THE END OP THE FIFTH CONFERENCE, THE EVACUATION OF FRANCE NT THE ALLIED TROOPS WAS ACRFED CrON. COI= CARAMAN, the Ambas sador of France at Vienna, who depart( 3 for Paris with dispatches last night mentioned in a letter was the bearer of this important and pleasing intelligence to his Sovereign. Though I heard the news at an early hour this morning. I could not obtain any details, or even learn the foundation on which it rested until now ; and was unwilling to agi tate the English public by vague rumours. The short- Iness of the time may plead my apology for sending you at present only a few particulars. The Act or l Convention fur the evacuation of France is not yet signed, but the following statement may be relied upon :—The Allied Troops are xo leave France in the course of the present month, or early in the begin ning of the next, at such intervals and by such routes as may be afterwards determined to be most convenient for all parties. The Allied Powers are perfectly sa tisfied with the present state of France, and the secu• rities which she offers, in her internal condition, for the preservation of the general tranquillity. They are likewise satisfied with the proposed guarantees for the payment of the contributions. These contribu tions are all to be discharged in the course of nine months from the signature of the Treaty. The first instalment is to be 26 per cent. upon the whole sum ; and the remainder is to be paid by equal instalments at the end of every two months. The first payment of 25 per cent. will take place on the 26th of Decem ber of the present year. The house of BARING and Co. supported by their friends of the other banking-, houses of Europe, is the security. Mr. BARING was yesterday called to a conference, and presented satis factory guarantees. The distribution of the sums to be contributed I have not yet been able minutely. to ascertain, but the following are the portions allotted to the greater Powers : Russia will receive 48 millions of Emma England - 48 ditto . Austria, about 40 ditto. Prussia, about 40 ditto. The Netherlands —IS ditto, Bavaria 10 ditto.
