The Seusinn of the two Chambers is adjourned to the 10th of next month. This was prqbably slotted by the protraction of the conferamett ft Aim la=Chapelle.

The differences between the Courts of Bavaria and Baden have been definitively arranged at Aik-la-Cbs. pelle. It even appears that, the )emperor-of ,Rttisia threw a new weight into the stele, by writing with his own hand; to the King of' Bavaria,, a letter of the most amicable nature, but, at the tame Aim, most decided as to inducing hint to sign the concilia-; tory proilsioris Presentet - by•theseloeilibtinffilivereigns.! Yesterday, at s Meeting of- the Bankers, en ar rangement was concluded, which had been ender con. liberation for some days. ti related to financial Atelier. rassments of the houses of Bereinbruk, Marten, and Co., which were threatened with bank ruptcy at the end of this month, and whose failure would have reduced sesame other capitalists and ex change brokers to the same situation. All the final. ing rentes are received at 70f. fur the end of the pre sent month, and at 701. 70c. for the end of Uecern. ber. Messrs. Baring, Betbmann, Delman, and other bankers returned from Aix-la-Chapelle, have given their complete consent to this arrangement. The re. salt will be, that the routes probably will not fall be low 70, and will not rise above that price.

GERMAN PAPERS. brsrnucst, Nov. s.—We too must join in the accounts which are received from nil quarters re spewing the uncommonly productive harvest; for many years we do not remember to have its tine an autumn in our valleys as the present; for t e five weeks we have bad a succession of the Attest The inhabitants have been able to Whet see the productions of the earth in fell perffilicrts.- In South Tyrol, the. tintage has been eztreoidittarily productive, and the quality of the wine if dseel lent.

Maley lasdhOlders.' have a third more wine than they had calculated, be. cause a beneficial rain, just before the 'Wage, re freshed many vines, which on account of the long drought that preceded, had not strength enough.— A Clergyman, who in 1810 received 18 casks of wine for his tithes, has received this year 400. Le mons and peaches abound in the same manner; the former are for the most part exported; the latter, on account of their perishable nature and their great plenty,„ are used to distil brandy. Other fruits are less plentiful, particularly apples, which are twice as dear as last year. VIENNA, Nov. 9.—Soon after the return of his Majesty the Emperor, we expect the arrival of the Foreign Sovereigns. la honour of their presence, the garrison will be increased, and in the neighbour ing parks, &c. preparations made to give theoa.iiso di• version of the chase. • • Mr. Payne, a merchant of this city, has lONA upon bins the Agency of the London Insurance Core-1 pany. Many house-owner', particularly in the 066. 1 beurhood of Vienna, have already insured their houses, and pay a premium of 4 per cent. on the lue rif theirbouses as stated by themselves.

This man was a male . cause of the amendment of . the Exchange in these two last years, fro* 400 to Oa, and be would probably have raised it still bighet had not the most energetietneans been employed 'on all hoods to coon. tweet him. Ile seems now himself to conjecture, that es the Government now levies slmost all the productive taxes in 20 creutzer pieces, and conse quently the Vienna is not the only currency, it is likely to surfer a depreciation in comparison with silver. It is even said, that in Huller, and Tran sylvania, from the 15tn of November, and in the Hereditary Statel4, t month later, alit,' one of the most productive sources of reveuuei Is net to be sold, except for silver. ... PRIVATR GORRESPO4VDENCH. PARTS, Nov. 19.—The sort of enigma which the Mosquito brought you in such haste from St. Helena, appears to have caused far less sensation at Paris than in Loudon. We have, on this subject, only the con. tradictory conjectures which your Journals kiss published. Ours, as yet, hare not said a word on the sulject, but every one speaks of the affair ac. cording to his own fancy. In general it was not believed that Bonaparte was dead, because there would not have been the slightest reason fur withholding for a moment the a tiounce. merit of a very natural event, and which 'Dalai have been rendered suspicious by concealment.. As little has any body supposed that be had escap ed, because it was to beelpected that that misfor tune, if it had taken place, would also have been im mediately announced. Bet an escape G considered to be rendered impossible, in consequence of tbs pro. cautions of every kind with which the prisoner is surrounded; end as the means of defence afforded by the fortifications, as well as the natural difficulties of the island itself, are full securities against an external surprise, any doubt on this subject would be injurious to Sir Hudson Lowe. On the other band, if a plot, which has had no effect, base been discovered at St. Helens, why not say so openly ? Why adhere to insinuations which, by exciting curiosity without satisfying it, awaken distrust and increase suspicion? Why not print the papers that have been seized ; and as the defeated conspiracy is contained in the letters, let every one judge of it ? I must not conceal from you, that the profound mystery with which the object of the dispetci•es from St. Helena has hitherto been covered, has crested a supposition here—doubtless an erroneous one—that there is some political object in view, to which the highest importance is attached, and of which the name of Bonaparte may have only been made the pretest. What seems in support this conjecture, which the publication of the letters would refute, is the other plot, with the report of which all Belgium is at pre. sent occupied, and respecting which such absurd and incredible details are related. What ! a serious plan to seize the greatest Monarch of Karol*, on his journey from Ais•la-Chapelle to Brussels, by a party of 600 smugglers, to carry him into a wood, and make him sign a declatatioa contrary to ail Ike comments .. .1 _ THE STATESMAN. - i
