The Latitor-Mouhoorg, promoted to the dig nity of Grand Cross, being absent, could not receive this decoration from the hands of his Majesty, but be was recorded. Orders from the Duke of Wellington were received et Cambray, on the Bth, according to whick the re. v iew of the English end Russian troops will take place on the 17th, between Aepres and Qouchain, and not far from Valencirimes, where the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia will arrive on the 16th. It is supposed that after the review the troops will commence their march homewards, without ',- Inviting to their cantonments. The strong places, it is thought, will be restored betweet) the 20th and the 30th of this mouth. The King appeared at the balcony of the glass ,gallery. yesterday, and seas received with all the demonstrations of joy and fortify which his presence tilt ttes. The Duke of Wellington is expected to leave,.Ais. la.Chapelle for Camlirsy, on the llth, to take mea. sures for the retirement of the emirs, but his Grace will resent to Aix-la-Chapelle t before the departure of the Sovereign's. irsh Marshal Oedinor, Duke de-Reggio, continues on service as Major.Genoral until the 31st inst. On the Ist of November, his Excellency will be relieved by Marshal Vietor, Duke de Helium), in the room of Marshal Marmont, Doke de Ragusa, who is absent. It is now reported, that from the Ist of January, isig. every French brigade of infantry of the R o y a l Guard, will be on service at the Royal residence dar ing sit months; and as there are three brigades, the regiments will each in its torn be removed from Paris for the space of one year. Whilst their service lasted only three months, the changes were too frequent, and in consequence too expensive. His ExcellencY the Minister of the Interior has re. gently pritified to the Prefect of the Haat-Rhin, that his Majesty (always eager to relieve the departments which suffered most from the OeCepstion of 1815) has, by an order of the 2d ult., authorised the dis tribution amongst the departments, of disposable sums of credits, of 20 and 180 millions, opened by the law of the 24th of April, 1816. Agreeably to this order of his Majesty, the depart input of the Haut-Rhin, which mss indebted to the Treasury in the sum of 970,74-11 V. (sod in which a reduction of 600,000 f. has alreaey been made by an Ordinance of the24th of Septerber, 1817), is now entirely liberated from this debt. , Besides this benevolent act, the King grants to this department a sum of 130,000 f. recoverable upon She contributions of 1815, to be exclusively applied to the liquidation of the expences of the occupation. The Russian army now assembled at the camp of Dimechaux and at the camp near Maubeuge, will put itself in motion on the 17th, to manactivre in the plains between Solesmes and Valenciennes. It will be united with the Daglish army at Hawes. It is thought that the principal point of the mbar will be the celebrated camp of Fame rs. Ctint..TIANA, Si" 10.-!—Some now disturbances Ewing taken piaci., l it was - found necessary to arrest trod being in here the revolted peasants who were in march against Christiana. 'the King, on this occa. sion, published an Ordinal* dated the 15th, which bears the stamp of >i clemency truly paternal. It terminated thus 64 We have fodnd it right to make this public, for the purpose of apprising ethers of our dear and • ttithful inhabitants of the country, who, perhaps, 'seduced by the disturbers of the public tranquillity, might be preparing to commit acts equally contrary to the laws, to return to their homes, and escape a fate which, hut for this, might befal them. For as we are ever disposed to receive with paternal regard every admissible demand from the estimable order of the peasants, which shall be presented before our Throne in a legal and proper manner, and to dimi. nigh, as far as circumstances may permit, the bar. dens which press upon the inhabitants of the coun try, so shall we ever he determined to employ the fo,ce which the Constitution and laws of the realm base granted to us for the maintenance of the peace and tranquillity of the kingdom, and to bring agita• tots before the tribunal', that they may be punished according to the laws of the kingdom." Pemtsuonott, SEer. 15•—The Prince Alexander ale Kourakin died at Wiesner on the 6th of July.— He was horn on the 18'h of January, 175'2, and was educated with the Emteror Paul I. frurn whom ke ever after received marks of the sincerest friend ship. At an early age he was C 11111414 with a missi ,, n to the Court of Denmark, and decorated with the Orders of atnebrog and the Per f ect UltiOW. lie was appointed Privy Councillor, Vice-Chancellor, Alinister for Foreign Affairs, and successively re. ceived the Orders of Saint Alexander Newsky and Saint Andrew. He was appointed, in 1807, Ambas sador to the Court of Vienna, and by order of his Sovereign signed the 'freely of Tilsit, which seemed for ever to noise goalie sail France. From Vienna he was sent as Ambassador lo Paris, where be con tinued until the rupture ht 181'2. His health com pelled him, in the month of May last, to undertake a journey for the benefit of the waters and change o f scene, and it was in his return that he was attacked at Weimar with the illness that proved fatal. His mortal remains will be treersposted to Russia. Aix -Lk CIIAPELLE, OCT B.—lt appears, that pre parations are making for the everuallen of the Army of Occupation. The Paymaster-General of the corps : h e P r ussian army set off this evening for the in order to effect the liquidation of that con )gent.—Already, the route by which the troops ' march, to Worn to their respective States, has 'n traced. The secrecy which veils the conferences, admi►s iy of conjecture. The result of each sitting is, it said, signed in the protocol, as et the Views. Crin. revs. It will, therefore, happen, as at Vienna, that the Articles will be successively signed before the role Treaty is drawn up. The Princess de la Tour and Taxis gives evening ties, at which are present the King of PIMUhI and Prussians - of distinction. Lady Castioreaah's .ning parties serve as a rendezvous for the English. 't is the celebrated Gents, Aulic CouncilloVo his jest> , the Emperor of Austria, who digests the nminary decrees of the Congrers. The conferences ,e place daily ; sometimes two are held in one diy, in general they last a long time. of tl cams • Coop been eel, IS fa Rtes all t •who part all 1 even preti e I 0, take 9 '• , and - _ T ' THE STATESMAN TILE diMERIGAN NATION4L BANK. When it was in contemplation to establish the United States Bank, a favourite argument amongst its supporters was, that it would equalise the inter nal ezchanges, and hence much facilitate the com mercial transactions of the country ; indeed, this feeling was very general amongst the best informed men. It was also fostered by their Government, who conferred particular privileges on it ; their notes were made a legal tender in payment of tales and duties ; they have the advantages arising from Go vernment deposits in alt those places where the Mother Bank has established branches ; as an equivalent they transmit the Government Funds from place to place, when required, free of espence, and give a bonus to be applied to the internal improvement of roads, bridges, Ifsc. &c. Under those advantages and disadvantages, the Institution got under weigh at Philadelphia, and allotted to the Branches which have been established, such amount of capital as was deemed sufficient for the demand for dis counts, which were likely to be made upon them ; adhering still to the favourite idea of draw ing end re-drawing upon each other, as the wants of their customers required, and did equalize the ex changes foe a time. But they soon found that this carried back the capital of the Branches into the Mo ther Bank, or brought a much larger capital info them than was required ; and that it was necessary to equalize this state of things, by the Mother Bank ei Branch, who had patted with their notes or drafts (although for specie), to look for and repossess them selves of them from those Banks into which they had fallen; and as this could only be done with specie, it entailed an immense espence upon the Bank to transport it frem the one, which 'had parted with its notes or drafts, to pitching. with those which bad received them. In order to lessen this heavy espence, they commenced charging a premium on their drafts; this was, however, found insufficient, as it could not prevent the notes from be. ing transmitted, and producing the same state of things. To get , clear of this drawback upon their dividend, which had reduced them from eight per cent. per annum to seven per cent. they have issued the notice bearing (late the 31st of August, stating, that the respective Branches will not take each others' notes, or those of the Mother Bank, thereby cotton. ing them to local circulation, and making the trans portation of specie at their espence unnecessary; it roust devolve upon the individuals who have remittances In make. Suppose, for instance, it was necessary for Boston to retuit to New Orleans 1,0001. ; if bills or notes cannot be procured from the Bank or elsewhere,* hit+ will pass in Orleans, the espence of remitting this 1,0001. in specie, will cost one per cent. freight, end one per cent. iniurance,which the individual must pay in place of the Bank. All accounts from the United States agree that the Batiks are getting as much good p per as they can discount ; we therefore cannot dray, the inference that the National Bank is at a stand still, because they hare deemed it their interest Inlet clear of a heavy espence, by throwing it upon the Public; they are like all other men, or Joint. stock Companies, studying what they conceive to be the interest of their own concerns. It is only a National Bank, as far as they have a national charter, and that the nation is a large stock-holder •, all their Branches are separate and independent of the Mother Bank in their discounts; the profits, however, of the whole are adjusted in Philadelphia by the latter, and divided amongst the Stock-holders. The discounts of those respective Banks must of course continue to be regulated by the wants of their customers; and with a due regard not to let too much of their paper be afloat at one time, for fear of a run on them for specie; their issues are always checked from this cause, particularly by the large quantity of Spanish dollars which are wanted for India. DUTCH MAIL. [RECEIVED TILTS KORNIN6.] FROM Till. FRENCH FRONTIERS, OCT. 9.—At the head-quarters of the Russian and Prussian corps in France, splendid preparations are making for the re ception of their blejescies the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia, who will be present at the last review of their troops before their departure from the French territory. The news that the speedy evacu ation of France is decided upon has diffused universal joy. It is supposed that the Russian troops will be embarked at Dunkirk and Ostend. A report is in circulation that some of the contingents will remain upon the frontiers till nest spring, but this report w slots confirmation. They are now beginning in the French Army the organization of the Ouija for the third battalions of the di ff erent Departmental Legions, sed, of jim fifth bquit drops for the Regiments of Cavalry. Se veral Officers who were not in actual service have been selected for them. HAGUE, OCT. 13.—We learn from Brussels that the Grand Duke Michael arrived thereyesterday,and proceeded to Aix-la-Chapelle, where the Grand Duke Constantine was expected on the 11th. Today there was a grand review near Waasdorp, where, besides the members of the Royal Family, a great concourse of people had collected front this 'town and the neighbourhood; the fine weather greatly contributed to attract visitors, who were all highly delighted with the correct mintier in which ' the troops performed their evolutions. We learn that the troops iu garrison at Brussels, as well as these in the camp at Ziest, were reviewed yester day, and that the camp will break up its a few days. FISANITORT, OCT. 7.—Baron Von Vreutz Ber berich, Charge d'Atiairs of his Highness the Prince of Tour and Taxis, has presented to the Diet a long Memorial respecting the relations of the House of Tour and Taxis with the Crown of Wlrtemberg, and complaining that the Government of Wirtemherg is by no means disposed to restore to the House of Tour and Tails, or to the mediatized Estates of the Empire, the full enjoyment of the rights and attri butes which are recured to theta by the Act of Con federation. 'the differences between the Houses of Lippe• Schaumburg sad Lippe.Detswold base beta brought before the Diet, and referred tea Committee for etimination. CIIRISTIAPIA, SEPT. 26.-114 Majesty the King has resolved to defray, from his private purse, the' expences of the making of the Norwegian crown, in cluding the gold, jewels, pearls, &c. as well as those of the sceptre, globe, sword, arid staiidaid of Mel kingdom, and been pleased to order that the Regalia shall be deposited in the Cathedral church at Dron-1 theim, under the-care and responsibility of the Ma gistrates. ST. PETERIBURGII, SEPT. 23.—The establishment of German emigrants on private estates in Rom& has commenced with good success. Upon an estate be longing to Mr. Von Kokosellin, 30 worsts from Moscow, 11 Wirtemberg families have been settled this year, who have raised good crops, and thrive well. The Minister of the Interior takes much pains to spread this kind of settlements all aver the Empi, e, because this kind of colonization is of permanent ad. vantage, as well to the settlers as to the proprietors of estates, who have more land than they are able to cultivete.

" The Queer: posed the whole of yesterday in u Mete of greater ear than she had experienced daring a few of ih pre cedi g day,. her Ma-salmi has had a a•,od night, aid feels re- Orbited by her sleep. (Signed) " F. MILNIAN.'s Iler MAJESTY had little sleep in the night of Wed. nesviay, notwithstanding the symptoms of her dis order were much less violent then they have been. The Physicians were again in alternate attendance the whole of the night. Throughout the whole of yesterday her MAJZSTY has remained withoot any perceptible alteration.— Her debility is again excessive, and no motion of any kind is at all attempted, lest it should Induce a re currence of spasm. The PRINCK RECENT arrived later last night than usual ; and remained till nearly seven o'clock with the PRINCESiFS ; when, having received the evening report of the Physicians, his Royal Highness return ed to Carlton-house. Sir FRANCIS MILNIAN* and Sir [lvory ['ALFORD were both remaining in attendance on her MAJESTY. It is said, the KING has latterly manifested great uneasiness at the continued absence of her MAJESTY. A Thatch Mail arrived this morning,with Papers to the 15th. A report is in circulation on the French frontiers, that some of the contingents will remain there till nest spring, but this report, it is added, 64 wants confirmation." It will not be pleasant intelli gence to the inhabitants of these departments and the French People if it should be confirmed. More complaints are making to the German Diet by the inferior Princes, or Mediatiaed Estates, as they used to be called, of infractions of the Act of Con federation by the stronger Powers. The Prince of Totto and Texts complains, that the Government of Wirtemberg is not disposed to restore to his House the rights secured to it by this Act ; and it appears that there ore also diff.rences between other estates from the same or similar causes. If Wirtemberg is disposed to play off this sort of chicanery to the, noose of Tour and Tasis, we are not surprised at its feeling an interest in the dispute between the Courts of Bavaria and Baden, for it is this very Act of Con federation by which the German Princes mutually guaranteed to each other all those parts of their do minions which belonged to the Confederacy, that Bavaria is now threatening to violate. Our Readers bare seen the equivocating reply given by the B. ' mien Minister to the amicable enquiry made re.. spectsng the cause of the movements among (We Bavarian troops. That reply, we have already observed, appears to have been conceived in the true style of diplomatic chicanery.—lt can ha rd lt be credited that the Government of Bade!' Afield have called forth its military means with eet I full assurance of movements having occurred among the troops of Bavaria, menacing its tranquil. lily. The meditated spoliation is, perhaps, not yet ripe for execution; and until the difficulties which retard its completion are removed, the Bavarian Court rinds it convenient to deny having entesteined auy project of the kind. The French Journals announce the signatore of Convention for the Evacuation of France, by the Plenipotentiaries of the Allied Sovereigns, on the 9th lost. The Monarchs themselves had held no con ference on the subject, but their Ratification would of course follow the art of their Ministers. The Journal des Paris remarks, that in the final adjust. meta of the sum to be paid by France, she has ob tained a remission of 15,000,000 1. of her debt to the Allies, besides the advantage of the discount on the 100,000,000 f. to be funded. The communications an this subject do nut enatile us to satisfy the curiosity .1. 4 L. • t ,114 4 st N W4le n it must tit; felt 11;4 th e r, m o w n; 165 millions of the French cootritliitions se e to ke secured. We deer of no transfers to this country et foreign stock to Ms amount. But wesuppose the Allies are contest for take what security they cite get. The Emperor in( AtISTRiA, who seems the most po. paler of all the Allied Sovereigns with the inhabitants of Aix-la•Chapelle, and the surrounding country, k said to have expressed his regret that the 66 h ee d.. of trade" could not exist in the pressot order or things, ' end his disposition to ecccerle to the 46 only treaties by which it could be established," those (oustded ye 46 the principle of reciprocity." Were these senti ments adopted and acted upon by all countries, m ei causes of war would not only be removed, but the public revenue would be most likely to increaceorilk the comforts and prosperity of individuals and con.. munities. 'The freedom of trade, so long oserlsolted by lord CASTLEORADII, is indeed a most important consideration ; and we are glad to hear that it h e , been noticed in some degree, by at least owe of t h e Sovereigns et Aissle-Clrapelle, though that & ie . reign should be the one who annihilated A s free commercial Republics of Italy. --It is ire. possible not to reprobate with indignation and abhorrence the mercenary cold-blooded calcula tion of seals and square miles which led to the ex tinction of the independence and prosperity of the Italian Republics—to appease the ravening of the Ro)al Eagles, that ;sere gathered round the carcase of Europe, end clamoering with impatience fur their prey. The Emperor of AUSTRIA had as little chirp to Venice, that city of the sea, that halcyon nest of tape, ty, as he had to a quarter of the moos); and the King of SARDINIA had, if possible, still less title to Genoa. It is true that these States deserved to bi blotted Dot from the number of independent Sister, if there was not Virtue enough left to regenerate their Governments; but they were not blotted oat hem s! they deserved it, but because a great Prince and a little one had taken a fancy to their territories. Free. deem of trade, or freedom of any kind is, indeed, a I chimera under such Governments. There have been some more minimax), proceedings and conflagrations at Constantinople. In the Fmk fort Papers, which have reached us to the 10th inst. we have accounts from that city, by which it appears, that the rebellious Jani•oaries had set tire to the resi. deuces of those Ministers who are the particular ob jects of their animosity, and thousands of other houses• were destroyed in the conflagration. The personal presence of the Sultan failed of its usual effect to encourage the workmen to extinguish the flames; and he is said to have experieoced considerable difficulty in making good his retreat to his Prlace. A partial change bad been made in the Ministry; but whether with any advantage to the state pf the public tranquillity is not mentioned. PrepsratiOns were making at Darkheim for a corps of Russians ex. petted there on the '2oth, on their march from Fusee. They were to be followed by a Bavarian coops.-- Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of KENT arrived at Frankfort on the 7th Inst. TIN Report of the Military Committee was to he 14i41 be fore the Germanic Diet at its neat Sitting; after the receipt of which, it was supposed an adjournment would take place for some months. Sealed orders had been tranamitoed by the Danish Government to the subordinate Boards in all parts of Denmark, in• trouncing some new regulatiou relative to the Na tional Rank and the currency, which was not to be disclosed until the 14th inst. It is stated in a letter from Manchester, which we copy from a Paper of last night, that a reduction of " about one-fifth of what the Weavers obtained by the recent turn out" is to take place ; and that this measure has caused general dissatisfaction, in con sequence of which several meetings of the Weavers have been lately held. 'We cannot wonder that ges. neral dissatisfaction should be excites' by a conduct so directly hostile to the interests of the labourer, and so collegiate(' to revive the elements of discord. — The Weavers are that class of working men who, it 'is almost universally admitted, have been worst paid. end have therefore the best claims to an increase it wages. Can it be that whilst we have such state, intents laid brifore us 'of the improving state piffle Revenue as the 'Government Papers are now teeming with, the manufacturer finds it im possible to armd wages to his workman suth cient to keep him alive ?—Or -are we to take this state of things, as we doubtless ought, in justifies tion of the Master Manufacturer, who cars belle& but little in the end from a reduction of his trade, ea s proof that the whole of his gains are swallowed by the State; and that whatever the labour and industry of men may be, so long as the system of State ex fortiori std imposition ehall be continued, which thus carries off all the fruits of the exertions of the corn , mollify to swell the hoard that pampers•iusury and corruption, misery, endless misery, must he the lot of the inferior classes, and dissatisfaction and its consequences must prevail. It is indeed melancholy to reflect, that the commercial improvemeo. which seems to have taken place generally throughout Eu rope, should have )et been productive of little or no relief to the workmen of the princ i pal branches of our manufactures. The cotton and the iron manufacture do not afford the labourer the means of independent subsistence ; and he is re duced to derive a large part of it from the Poor's Rates. It is a strange sort of prosperity w 1 ear MIMI ,rsiti 47:4 I 1 11 11 F I/ 1
