AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, SEPTEMBER 29. " Yesterday and the day preceding will constitute a remarkable epoch in the annals of Aix-la-Chapelle; three . powerful Monarchs, animated with the same wishes for the repose of the universe and the happi ness of their people, made their solemn entry into the ancient city of Aix-la-Chapelle on Sunday about five o'flock in the afternoon. His Majesty, the King of Prussia, our Sovereign, arrived first, and was wel comed with all the demonstrations of the most lively joy by the inhabitaith and the troops who are assem bled for his reception. -The day following his Ma jesty, accompanied by seietal Generals, went to meet his Majesty the Emperor it Austria, and their Ma jesties entered together in the• same carriage. The Sovereigns were weleoniid with testimonies of love and respect by the entire population of the city, and by the military, who formed the line; Wore which they proceeded to their Palaces. “ About ten o'clock at night his Majesty' the Em perot of RussiairtiVed, accompanied by our Kalsg. Notwithstanding the lateness of the hour, all the .in ..habitants went to meet his Majesty's august Ally, whose presence has excited the liveliest transports of joy and satisfaction. Numerous salutes of artillery, and a brilliant illumination, celebrated the' arrival of the Sovereigns within our walls." MADRID, AUG UST 16. • PRIVATE LETTER. In answer to your letter of the 514th ultimo, ari4 the political queries therein entertained, I•wiU bel state, that, without any dread er 'scruple , our at the present time,,ipay be compared with those of Constantinople or **rem. 'The turning out of per • sons employed in every branch of the State; banish ments, nocturnal arrests, imprisonments, tortures, and, in some cases violent deaths, are all we hear of With regard to our internal occurrences, and the ruin dour trade and disgrace to our arms abroad. - " The same kind of treatment, however, awaits bath the friends and enemies of FzRpINAND and his bro ther, the Infante Don CAsmos, who, it would appear, acts the second part in the complic ated tragedy. " The Ministers of State, Finance, and Marine, have been deprived of their situations in the most scandalous and ignominious manner, and, indeed, some apprehensions are entertained for their persooal safety, more particularly of Garay, as the plot is I understood to have been brought about by the higher clergy, supported by the Inquisition, and the Bishops of Santiago, Jaen, Cadiz, and Segovia, secret ene mies, who are directed by Canon Ostolazo, supposed to be acting according to the views of the Infante Don Carlos, with whom it is thought he corresponds from his eiile of Las Batuecas, through the medium of Secretary Magdalena, is intimate friend of the Infante. _ _ " The Intendant of At-rag-on, Calcerrada, Curren*, Rosales, Ortis, Novara, and nalagativa, all Infantry; Captains; Bello, Arosteque, Mendoza, Cainpomanes, and Machuca dela Valleria, three Brigadiers, and, Genes al Zamaniego, were, on the 9th, imprisoned. , and in the night conveyed to the filthy dungeons of the Inquisition of Zaragossa. On the 10th Lieute rant-Colonel Canellas, of the Sappers and Miners, Colonel Armendaris, and Commissar' Laguna, the two Litter Americans, together with Eseelsr, a Pur ser in the Navy, and Perez de la Torre, Maestrante of Granada, were also shut up in the Holy Tribunal of Galicia, accused of being Ireemasoni, and impli cated in conspiracies. Their property has been re spectively seized, and their wives. and strvatit4 put under arrest at their own bases, after having been examined by Members of the Inquisition. Thepapers of the accused', and even their wearing apparel had also been seized. I i ss Report says, that Pizarro communicated a Royal Order for the 'delivery of the floridas to the Anglo: Americans, but that Minister Onis prevented its being carried into effect, as it is further said he had arranged the matter for a consideration equal to three millions of dollars, and a compromise respect ing claims due to the Americans. On this subject you will find time will bring out some important secrets. " On the birth-day of the Emperor of Russia, Pi zarro appeared at the house of the Ambassador, se- • companied by his Lady, in a style corresponding to Asiatic luxury. Their dress and ornaments were of the n:ost costly velvet, gold, pearls and diamonds, in th.! greatest profusion, and even his servants wore the richest liveries. The Ambassador distinguished them in the most marked manner ; no one of this brilliant assembly received such particular attentions. Ile British Minister was looked upon with coldness. The Russian embassy was thunderstruck at the fall and banishment of Pizarro ' and of course omitted nothing that might tend to his relief. " Some suppose that the Minister of Marine has been depo:.ed on account of the purchase of the Rus sian ships, which it is now understood here are to be sold at public auction, or to be broken. up for fire wood, and used by the troops in quarters. le this transaction the Minister of .Marine sa not, however, the chief prison implicated. " Cardinal Gonsalvi has communicated to the In si tor-General at the solicitation of the Roman 3w, a Papal order, permitting, in eases of treason to the State and freemasonry, the torture to be applied, in presence of a surgeon or doctor belonging to the tri bunal. On the 13th, in the morning, consequent to this order, the torture was inflicted an two wretched beings, who were placed on a wooden horse, but we have not been able to learn whether they died in con sequence of the operation, though we are inilornsed they remained in a state of insensibility' for many hours, owing to the dislocation of their joints. 4 , This state of barbarism and horror must even tually drive the most sluggish ino dea sad ser taialy the general discontent spread throughout the nation leads us to anticipate the most dreadful con sequences. The lives and fortunes of people cannot be thus sported with. The arrest of the celebrated Calvo de Rosas and other patriots, point out that considerable alarm pre vails at Court, and in order to prevent greater dis asters, it is supposed the claims of Citaaus IV. to be exhibited to the Congress of Sovereigns, will be .viewed with consideration and respect; for, among those who dare speak their sentiments, there seems a •deterrnination not to put up with the arbitrary and oppressive acts of an unnatural son, whilst the father is languishing in obscurity. . 44 This is t4e uniform sentimeat of the eulightated , : part of the nation, and it would soon be universal, if it were not for the host of Friars and Inquisitors, every where spread through the country. When FZR LIHNAND re-established the luqusition be was aware it would be the best pillar to his throne. Flatterers, Monks, and weak men, are the only persons in fa vour, among whom the King's spiritual Director, Bencomo, General Vigodet, the Duke de Alagon, and Father Cirilo, are most distinguished."

A Flanders Mail arrived last night, by which ac counrs were received of the entrance of the Empenws of Anarkze, Ellin's, and the King of lraowe, ieittt Aixla-chapelle. This mooting we rseeived German Papas, which announce a most ditadful fire at Const4ntio4;l•• supposed to have been wilfully effected by . the 64 - • contented ianissaries : " , . a ram Tuautv.—.-The 13th day of August was a day of terror for Coestaatinople. The fermenta tion and dissatisfaction which have prevailed for sante time among the people Were raised to the highest pitch by the late events in Siwas (Sebasti), by which some families of the Janissaries had suffered, and by the late promotion of the Aga, who was hated by that dangerous soldiery; and the citizens were al ready living in anxious terror of the near explosion of acts of violence, which was announced by several placards, when, early in the morning of that day, fire broke out in the house of the former Kuschdi- Baschi (Lieutenant of Police), and, spreading with the rapidity of lightning, turned the gloomy expec tations into certainty. " The fire raged the whole day through, and till past midnight, and presented a most dreadful spec tacle of the destruction of several quarters of the city. Some thousand houses, two Christian churches, and two small mosques were laid in ashes. The presence of the Sultan, and of all the Ministers, indeed .ani mated the zeal of the persons employed in extin guishing the dames; but the narrowness of the streets in that closely built quarter of the city, the heat and fatigues of the day, increased by the smoke, im peded the attempts to save the houses, and delayed assistance. Meantime the commotion among the I people became more and more alarming, and the fears of a tumult increased. It was afEirmed.thas in the placards the instigators demanded the deposition of the Grand Vizier, of the High Admiral, the re moval of the favourite Halet, Effendi, of the Dhara bhanit Emini, Abd orrah man Bey, and ofsome others: fears were entertained for the lives of these and seve ral other persons. " The whole of the following day passed in anxious expectation, till at length, towards the evening, it , was announced that the Scik, Itsch-Ili-Ahmed Pacha (hitherto Captain Pacha) was removed to Brussa, and Hassan Pacha, Governor of that place, sent for to till the office of Iligh Admiral. " During these events the Government doubled its vigilance, to which alone we owe the most perfect tranquillity and safety, especially in the quarter of the Fraaks, where not only the guards were aug mented and ordered to patrole without interruption both night and day, but several suspicious persons were arrested and sent to prison. It was in vain that some malicious persons endeavoured to terrify the public by fresh alarms of fire, and to delay the re-opening of the public markets, which had been cleared of the goods on account of the threatening danger. All Foreign Legations were requested by the Portc strictly to enjoi'i all persons of their respec tive nations, not to go out after dark, without lan dierns, in order to prevent all unpleasant consequences. "On the 17th of August there was a gre a t extra ordinary meeting of the Council of State in the house of the Mufti. After it broke up an Imperial Firrrian was published, in which the people were exhorted to .kelep peace, order, and to re-open the sheps'thit maised shut in the public markets ; and the assurance was added, that the Government, fully relying'on the zeal and support of the well-disposed inhabitants of the capital and of the empire, had no apprehension from the intrigues of some disturbers of the public peace, and would know bow to punish them with all the rigour of the laws. The Chiefs of the several regiments 01 Janissaries also appeared to exculpate those under their command from the accusation of having been concerned in causing the fire. They were dismissed with injunctions to look after all such persons among their body as were suspicious and capable of incendiary plots, and in case of detection, to punish them with all the rigour of the Statute of the Corps. Lastly, to indulge the prejudices of the people who are accustomed to regard the elephant as an animal of ill omen, and to attribute all fires to the presence of these animals in Constantinople, it was resolved to banish all the elephants from the metropolis, which resolution has been already carried into effect. mat in all than troubles, over which the 6otern• ment has, with equal dexterity and prudence, thrown a veil, the hand of a seditious party was at work, ap pears from the execution, on the 18th, of a public officer, equally distinguished by his immoral cha racter and his remarkable talents for legal substle ties; by name Kaubur Suleimann Effendi, of the Court of Justice at Galati—lie had been several times exiled from Constantinople for his licentiousness, and had obtained, towards the end of the Ramadan, as it is affirmed, on the intercession of the Janissaries, leave to return to Constantinople—he was suddenly summoned, under the pretence of the reading of A Finnan before the Bostangi Pacha, and the Topdshi Pacha, delivered to the executioners and strangled, and his body cast into the sea. " The account of the quieting of the troubles in Siwas, and of the general pardon granted to the in habitants of that important province, seem equally to•have contributed to allay the ferment of people's minds. The happy result is ascribed to the interven tion of Tscheassan Ogla. " The new Captain Pacha arrived at Constanti nOple on the 19th of August, and was received and invested with his new dignity. " On the 20th of August there was a splendid en- 1 tlirtainTnent given by the late Directer of the Cus . ms, now Chief Inspector of the Kitchen, in lionout of The Sultan, on his admission among the archers ho bit a mark at the distance of 1,100 paces. —All *lie Ministers and Grandees of the Empire who prefer this gymnastic exercise to every other, were present and were sumptuously entertained ; a countless multitude surrounded the kitchens erected, where 16Q cooks were employed. The Sultan re mained till the evening, and presented Orman Aga, the giver of the feast, with a sable pellisse and dagger adorned with diamonds. The greatest order pre vailed among the people, and the Monatch clearly 'hewed by this public and ceremonious appearance how little he fears the traiterouc plots of some mal contents, and how secure he feels himself in the midst of his faithful subjects."
