Th.

Alopeos, the Russian Minister to Berths, gave a bril liant fete and supper. The same mystery conlinaes to prevail with re spect to the object of the Ministerial Conferences. Amongst the recent arrivals are Count Bentiack and Sir Thomas Lawreace. FRANKFORT, OCT. 15.—1 n the 50th Sitting of the Diet, a note was read in tLe name of Austria and Prussia, declaring the readiness of these Powers to deliver to the Confederation the fortresses •of May. ence, Cassel, and Costheim. The Confederation to provide the means of keeping them up and the ma terial. The Diet has determined to submit the Pa. pees to the respective Courts, and in the mean time, these fortresses are to be garrisoned as at present. MADRID, OCT. 3.—lt• is confidently said, that Count d'Abisbal will not embark with the projected expedition. It is reported that he will be succeeded by Lieut.-General Freyre. This latter choice is uni ,vrsally approved. M. O'Donnel will occupy a place on the bench of the War Council, by the side of the Ex-Captain.General of Galicia, M. de St. :Marc. The former is of Iriab, the tatter of Flemish eatractiotl. They have both fought in the gienndier ranks as vivate soldiers. In general, foreigners en soiled under our banners fight bravely. M. de Garay is arrived at Saragossa, at which j place his Majesty deigns to permit him to retain the Directorship of the Canal; which situation he held previously to bein :_„o called into. he Ministry: COPUN HAGEN, 3.—The negoriations witirtho Crown of Sweden, with regard to the •execution - Of rho Treaty of Keil, in what telates to the stipulatjctth r , that Ncrway should bear a proportional part of the • : nit STATESMAN public debt of this kingdom, hare been incepantlyi l contineed for some iimkpast, but withOet any result tatyter. Our Goverment anxiously desires the cisien of this 'filar t because it k precluded from estimating a Budget with accuracy, so long as we are unable to fix the amount of the debt or the in- 4anst dee. It is asserted, that the Allied Sovereigns will effectively discuss this subject at the Congress of Ala-la.Chapelle. VieervA, Oct. 7.—The lest letters received hero from Constantinople decidedly contirtn the news of the commotion" set ou foot by the Janissariee in that capital. The greatest praise is bestowed upon energy and presence of mind displayed by the Grp Seignioi in circumstances so critical. It is asserted; that his Highness has declared, that he is at present more fortified upon the ruins of a part of the city of Constantinople _than hitkerte._ It is. confidently asserted, that be has adopted a firm resolution of giving a different organization to the Janissaries, or . if he cannot effect this, to displace them by auuther corps. The new Captain-Pacha is described es a very ener. getic man, who executes with vigour the orders of the Grand Seignior. It is asserted, that the Grand Vizier temporised too long, and has not shown suf ficient courage • it is possible that he may nut lung maintain himse lf at the head of a ff+ire. Tranquillity appeared to be re-established in Con stantinople; but fresh disorders were apprehended, and, requisite precautionary measures hare been adopted., CARLIRUIM Oct. 11.—When the Deputation of the City and District of Lahr had, on the 23J Sep. limber. the honour of presenting to his Royal High. , ness the Address relative to the Constitution, the •Grand -Duke made the following reply : •• I receive with coofidence the assurance that my subjects will he always ready to make willingly the saciiace of their fortune and life to maintain the inte grity of the State, the inviolability of the succession to the Throne, and the Con►utution. These three benefits are constantly inseparable, and there are no sacrifices that they do not merit in the eyes of esery enlightened People." STItASBURGU, OCT. 14. —The Austrian revelry, which is stationed io our departmentovill put keel( to% motiou to•morror. It has received uiders to direct its march to Markholsheim. The two regiments of infantry of the Archduke Raynier and of Gaulay, will begin to put themselves in motion the day after to-morrow.

Is.—The littlest accounts from Car!lrishe say, that the reigning FArepress of Russia, 110(1 the Margravine her mother, are gone from Brachial to visit first the chateau La Favorite and afterwards Baden. The journey of the Grand Duke to tbi - Sootk of France is again spoken of, and it is affirmed it will take place after this visit. Accounts from Menheim, of the 10th, sly, " As soon as orders Mere given to call in the military, 50 caissons and baggage waggons were sent from here to Gottesau, near Cslsruhe,w hich was considered as a measure of precaution. " The absent military are now all arrived, and the barracks not being ►oomy enough to receivethem all, from 12 to 15,000 men are quartered on the in. habitauts. It was imagined, at first, that the troops are called together because the Grand Duke's dis order took a more serious turn ; but it is now sup. pos►•d to have been done merely to give more weight to his declared resolution, not to cede ae inch of ground in the Palatinate of the Rhine. I► is, how ever, not true, that the Lendwehr has been called together, as has been said in Foreign Journals. The Grand Duke's disorder is not worse, but as his Royal Highness suffers by water iu the chest, there is little hope of his recovery." We learn, from the same account, that a report is current in Baden, that one of the great Powers con nected with the Grand Duke's family by the ties of blood, hart guaranteed the succession of the Grand Duchy of Baden, without any cession of territory, to the son of the Cs-King of Sweden, now Count of Gottorp. This report, however, is not implicitly credited. HAARLEM, OCT. 20.—Letters from the French frontiera, of the 6th, say—". The materiel belong ing to the Danish and Hanoverian corps is to be. em barked at Dunkirk, The equipages of the British troops are to pass through Flanders, and by way of Ghent to Antwerp, there to be embarked. The English troops are to he embarked at Ca h is in four successive divisions. Immediately after the depar ture of the foreign troops the Duke of Angouleme will visit the northern departments of France." Entree of a private letter from Madrid, Oct. " There has been talk of a voluntary of forced loan of seven and a half or ten millions. Every proposal that has been made has failed. The Bank cannot even pay the holders of its shares. The new Minister mast have recourse to other mea sures. It is impossible to guess what plan he will adopt. Ile is placed between the necessities of the State and the fate of his predecessor. The Public justly appreciate the embarrassment in which he is placed, and even go so far as to bint at his successor, as well as the succession of the Marquis de Cass Irujo. This is premature: however, the Ministry, as it is now composed, can evidently be but temporary. " His Majesty the Emperor Alexander has been pinned to make our Sovereign • present of three beautiful frigates, which are every moment expected. It is said they are le the place of three of the ships bought in Russia, which were found to be in bad condition." ANTWERP, Om 18.—It appears that no part of the Army of Occupation in France, except the Da. nigh and Hanoverian troops, will pass through the kingdom of the Netherlands. According to lists drawn up by order of the Em peror Alextrider, it appears that since the year 1814, 4,14,000 urea have been discharged from the Russian stymies. rfbiie we have here the finest weather, the Tyrol ►ee been covered with anew since the beginning of Ms month. THE STATESMAN. LtINDULV: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24 1 1818• • TIIE QUEEN. The Bulletin of this morning represents her MA. IBITY as remaining without amendmeni,the 6' short, as usual, and disturbed repose" which she seems to hate obtained last night having had no effect on her general complaint•. The 011icisi notice is signed by only one Physician, and is as fellows:- 1 " Kew Palace, Oct. V. The Queen's complaint remains the same. Her MAJESTY has bad woe good sleep in the might. (Signed) N H. HALFORD." The private Iccounts state, that her MAJESTY was very restless all yesterday, and that no beneficial ef fect was expected from any momentary repose which she might obtain. The PRINCE REGENT arrived from Brighton, at xis o'clock, accompanied by Sir BEN. JAMIN BLOOMFIELD, and after receiving the evening Report of the Physicians,his Royal Highness remained to dinner with the Particassgs.—The Duke of YORK also visited the Palace, in the course of the day, but neither the PRiNCE REGENT nor the Royal Duke saw l:er MAJivrY. She was too much &masted to re• viva them. The proceedings of the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle are still enveloped in mystery. Though the atten tion of the world is naturally directed to their pro ceedings in anticipation ofetrents—though the hap piness of nations is deeply concerned in their deci sions, the solid knows, no more of these.delibera. tions than if they were held in the Moon.. The sur face lies before us smooth and unru ffl ed ; but . were we to penetrate beneath it for a little, we doubt not we should find many discordant elements. The policy of concealment, we may therefore presume, grows out of this confwsiois of ill-assorted materials.— Europe, like South-America, seems hastening to some mighty change ; for it is impossible that the system which the antiquated Governments of despotism seek to perpetuate!, should long be maintained against the universal light that is beaming on every side upon mankind. It is now necessary to torn attention from Fiance to As other countries where liberal notions are gaining ground daily, where the natural effect of such meutal improvement is to discern national end individual interests more clearly, to estimate justice and wrong with an independent mind, and to de mend Administrations corresponding with . the in terests, the rights, and the state orsqciety. : . ft has been said that the great question would be discussed among the European Powers, whether, having 'sop pressed Revolution at home, they will allow it its full chance of flourishing in America, with a possi bility of beitig spin transplanted back to Europe?— We have no evidence that this question has not en gaged, nor any assurance upon which we can rely, that it does not at present, or will engage the atteri tion of the. European Conclave, who ore deliberating at Ail-la.Chapelle. Vi'e think that whatever may be their means or the subjects of deliberation, their in clination is to give neither America nor Europe any such liberty at they desire. Germany, however, is , at present the nearest and the dearest interest, an d the unsettled state of the public mind there is not to be concealed. That a considerable fermentation pre. rails throughout the empire is confirmed by the ob servations of all who have lately visited those coun tries. Without going further into the question, to ourselves it must be flattering to perceive that the universal desire of enlighteued nations is to approxi mate their forms of Government to our own, and . Englishmen will not fail to rejoice at any measures which can tend to give to others the free Constitution which they ought and desire to enjoy themselves. --+- French Papers to the 21st, and Mail. from Hol- land with Journals to the 22d, have arrived. The evacuation of Prance is begun. The /motion troops _ . commenced their retreat over the Rhine on the 16th. It is said that considerable desertion had occurred in the Austrian army, particularly from among the Hungarians. The Prefect of the department of the Lower Rhine has (no doubt et the desire of General Fatmost) issued a Circular to the Mayors, requir lug them by every means to discountenance this de sertion from the Austrian army, and not to suffe r deserters to receive protection withlo their districts. It is stated that the materiel belonging•to the Danish and Hanoverian corps is to beemharked at Dankirk. at the equipages . of °trek° pa are to pass through `Flanders, and by way of at to Antwerp, there to be embarked, and that troops themselves are to be emearked at Calais, in "successive divisions. *lt is reported from the Fr I frontrers,, that after •. . the Allied forces • • are withdrawn, the i Duke of AN GOULEME will hisit the itertherredepartaiNits of France. •. In the 50th Sitting of the Germania Diet, the Pre sident read w Note in Ilse names of Austria and Prus sia, relative to thet fortresietti the Cosefederation.— The* two Power* declare le that Neuman, that r• •-4, t ) 1 .•• 1 . , 4. 1.• J., they are ready to giros up Mentz, as well as Casts and Costheim,. to tht; ConferVisration ; std its° the "t mainder of the five Minns of frettts 'destined toe the completion of the rks of the former place, pro. vidrd the Confederation will,, on its part, supply all the annual expences of keeping op the fortresses, Mishout reckoning the pay of troops; will procotta avalcricl of artillery for Mentz and Cassel ; and nit' reimburse Austria and Nasal' for the last espences of that sort incurred by them. The Diet resolved unanimously to submit the Note, and its bossed Documents, to the different Courts. It is rumoured that the son of the Eu. King of SWEDEN is likely to be raised to the Grand Ducal Sovereignty of Bilden., The present Duke is labouring under a severe Wis. position, which is not a little aggravated by an at. Itack of the Congress malady, so that there hint little hopes of his recovery. Th e iniettioinee from Paris, in these Papers, k of little interest. The king continues to transact b►ta. tress with his Ministers, and to hold Levees, at which the Generals of the old army are now appearing is greater numbers. The number of young men re. quired for the City of Paris, amounting to 409, for the classes of 1816 and 1817, were drowsy oa Mon• d a y, i n the lintel de Ville of that Metropolis. Five Officers of the regiment of Douay Artillery se. ceived orders, on the 14th instant, to go immedi. ately to Maubeuge, Conde, Landrecy, Bnuchain, and Cambray, to take possession of the artillery of those places, in. the name of the King of France, im. mediately after the departure of the Allied troops.— By a decision of the French Minister of Finance, Rochelle has been recently added to the other free ports for the exportation of refined sager. ' The accounts from Spain wear the same fel*. that have marked all the recent political events. It is confirmed from Madrid that the Count De Avouc is to be superseded in the command of the expedition fitting out, at Cadiz by General FR .s That Grand Harlequin, FERDINAND VII. has transoi• grated the late Minister of Finance, M. GARAY, into his original cbaracter of Director of the Canal at Saregossa.—A private letter from Madrid by the Dutch Maio, speaks of the great ernbarressment its which the new Minister of Finance is placed. Re - rennet raise his Loan by say means. M. PIZARRO is said to be placed under a most rigorous surveillance s and they even talk of his being to be brought to trial. The last letters from Constantinople, by way of Vienna, confirm fully the news of the dreadful dis turbances which recently shook that capital, and of which the Janiisarles were the prime movers. They describe the energy and presence of mind displayed by the GRAND SEIGNIOR under such elides} circum stances, and assure us that he has o arm resolution of new-modelling the Janissaries, or if he cannot succeed in that, of replacing them by souther corr. The new CAPTAIN PAGIIA is portrayed as a moot energetic man, who Kill execute with vigour the or ders of the GRAND SEIGNIOR. It is said the GRAND VIZIER temporised too much, and did not show suf ficient courage; and that, therefore, it will be impos. sible for him.,to keep himself at the head of affairs. Quietness had been apparently re-established in Con stantinople; but they dreaded new commotion., and proper precautionary measures had been adopted. We have already adverted to the conduct of the Water Companies, in endeavouring to levy a heavy additional rate on the Public immediately, on the ground of the sixpence they will be put to in laying down iron pipes, according to tire Act of Parliament, ten years hence. We are glad to see that this subject is likely to meet with the attention from the Public which a grievance so general and so manifestly unjust and oppressive deserves. We give in this day's STATE-MIN the particulars and Resolutions of a numerous Meeting of . the Inhabitants of. Wee• minster, held to consider and take measures for resisting the increased chorea made by the Chelsea Water.'Workv Company ; and the letter of a Correspondent on' the conduct of another Company, who. baser , t their charges to the exorbitant rate of b per. cant., intimates a determination on the part of the inhabitants of the north-eastern part of the Metropolis to hold a,.'Weeting forlhaume purpose. When it is coital, dered that the Public have no secusily that eve? double the amount of rate attempted to be levied upon them for this prospedive improvement, which, after all, may never take place, and for which the Public ought not to be made to pay until, at least, they enjoy it, the necessity and propriety of protest ing against such impositions must be generally knowledge& • Accounts from the Hague mention, that the E 46 perm. -of RusslA has presented three fine frigates t?
