The Lord Chief Justice ELLENBOUOVGLI did not attend. The exertions of the Patriot General M‘GREGOR to obtain troops to serve ender hint Hi South Ame. tics, have been very suecessful in Great Britain and Ireland. 'Three vessels hare been chartered under • his orders to carry them to Margarette, and they are calculated to carry 500 men each. Not a few of these recruits have been obtained from Guernsey, and they will sail almost immediately 'from the `Thames.—(Kentish Gazelle ) DRURY. LANE.-7'he Distressed Mother was on Saturday repeated. In ceusequence of the indisposi tion of Mrs. MACHENZIEi Mrs. GLovun took the part of Agdromoche. She looked and (poke it well, and with the exception of a little superfluous action, leas all that could be wished. Mrs. Wesv improved on her former pwrformance; and KEAN made a play of his powers, to the full as effective as that which astonished arid delighted the audience on the grit eight of his becoming the representative of Orestes • COVENT GAIIDEIL—Miss O'NEILL'S first perfohn-. once of Isabella. this season, attracted a brilliant audience to this Theatre on Saturday evening. The Barber of Sevilk followed, but the wit of this piece, which is of the lowest and common-place cost, was not sufficimitly attractive to keep the company together tilt its close, for the house began to thin rm. pidly after the Tragedy. A usisensierstending has arisen between Mit, STE* IRIIINS t and the Manager of the Cork Theatre. ' Miss Sreructra's . salary there is thirty-five. pounds pet night for her services. For this liberal sum, the Manager considers that she is bound to sing in after pieces es well as in full operas, when he shall require it, as she did in Dublin. The Lady conceives her engagement to be different ; as in Dublin, in addition to the above nightly sum, she received a certain share of the money taken at the doors. By mutual con- sent, fifteen pounds of the thirty-five is nightly lodged in the hinds of a trustee until a legal opi . . . ainn can be taken owns her engagement, to which loth parties have agreed to submit. The Lady of Sir SAMUEL ROMILLT lies danger ously ill , without hope of recovery, at Cowes, in the Isle of Wight.

I Ttir, e ttA AIX.L4-CIIAPELLe. .1 , Om el.— Emperor The f Russia awl Ring AT Pressia departed from this city yesterday tonroing.te review their troops on the French frontier. TIT Duke of Wellington hid Set eff . the evening befits*: The Emperor of Austria is still here, and does no°, intend to proceed to the army. He is less of a Otili.o tary man than his two brother Monarchs, preferring ease and rstitement to bustle and parade, sod the! harmony of a good concert, or a well-esecuted Oice! of music, to the noise of trumpets or the with of arms. lie takes a quiet promeuade shoot the city or the environs almost every day, accompanied by one or two of the Officers of his Household ; and his re tired and unostentatious mode of life, joined to re collections connected w ith his family, makes him • great favourite with the people. The town appears a good deal thinned by the'departore of the Soveleigts4 who have takevi with them the ghost of the Geedr4!l Officers composing their miles. The Emperor Alexander was acoompsnied in his carriage by his brother the Grand Duke Constantine',' and was followed by three other carriages, in erhicli were his brother Michael, and the several military. characters sod great Officers of his Household. Thete is a report here that Russia, glider all the circumstances, had made rather a bad bargain wlrts Spain, for the ships which she sent to Cadiz. Shp is obliged to give titre* new frigates for those with* ere foetid not to be seasworthy. Prince Gelitzidi the Russian Secretary of Embassy at that• Coast or Madrid, is said to have clime here on that business; sod Admiral Tatischeff, the Ambassador whe,madel the bargain, does not stand well with either of the parties, arid, it is reported, will be recalled. The new Russian Ambassador to the American Staten, M. Polo ika, a Greek, has arrived here froM London; bet is pruceeding to Italy, and will not set out on hisallei sion across the Atlantic, for five or six mons hc. He is to teplaceM. Daschkow, who is recalled on account of his haring' embroiled himself with the Courts ,wf Justice of the American Republic. It is not often I that Russia commits errors in her diplomatic appoint. ments. General Maison, who seems to bode received a roving commission for conversing with every diti tinguished person who will listen to him, and wb makes as little secret of confidential communications.. as Mrs. Ctsidostr does of her neighbours' failings, Is said, some drys ago, to have had a conversation with the Grand Duke Constantine, the Emperor's bras. )her; the purport of which, as it regarded France, was nearly the same as that with the Emperor. In the course of the audience the Grand Dike is re.' ported to have observed, that the natural alliance of France was with Russia, and that this alliance was, necessary to' secure both, against the ambition . of, England ; that Austria must be watched, and that Ir she should stir, the alliance of the two Pose's at the extremities of her Enspise would he regeisite to controul her movements. Then recurring to France, he is said to have sitokeit with considerable asperity of the desigws of the Ultras, sod with high praise of• the intentions and conduct of the King. lie con. eluded by a warm eulagiem on the character and iris 'Potions of his brother the Emperor. The Graf& puke Gi.iontior, _who tear smcb on .potitica,ll MK ,et Itfentified with the Government of Rossi,. General Gourgaud, who Wel) , *addressed • letter to 'lbw Archduchess Maria Louisa, begging her to itstesfere 'with Congress in favour of her husband end his master, received for answer to his appiicatiou a present of about 30,000 francs, and positive orders to address her briperial Highness no more upon the subject. Prince Emilius of Helm-Darmstadt, who highly distiguisbed himself in the service of Bouts parte, attd• who was the last of the German Princes I in 1813 to desert the standard of Fr 11111CP, has arrived here. I have not heard that he has any object in his 'is,. This was the young Prince to whom Bono. parte destined the throne of Prussia, provided he had beets successful over the Alliance, and could have ! said of the reigning Monarch as tie did of the Boar. bons in Naples—" Frederick William has ceased to reign." OCT. 2t—There has been nn conference of Mi• nimers for the last two days. There is one to-day at 11 o'clock. The Declaration or Addresi of the Allied PoWets to the French People, on the retiring of the Army of Occupation, has not yet beats agreed to, mod deli. vered to the Duke of Richelieu. The distossinn 11114 took place in one of the conferences that immediately followed the signature of the Treaty of Evacuation on the 9th, is said to have been of an animated tie. lure. The Minister of Prussia is reported to have propneed the continuance and consolidation of the I quadruple ',Malice, and to have strongly urged the .1 pol"y" if not the necessity, of such a measure.— The Duke of Richelieu opposed the proposition, l as 'uncalled for in the present state of things, as indicative of illiberal and unwarrantable sus. picions of the conduct of France, and as mats, tracing to her importance among the nations.--.. 1 The Duke is reported to bats uttered Mb sentiments on • this occasion with great energy, and to hove employed much dramatic effect.— " France," lie id reported to have said, unbuttoning his coat, and pointing to his breast, " France is exposed, as you now see me; she awaits your re. solves. If you place her beyond the sphere of your treaties, she will take advantage of her exclusion to consolidate her internal institution, and thus to in crease her power end resources in the bosom of peace, at a distance from the disputes and discussions which may agitate Europe. When she has thus in creased her power, she must recover her influence ; and be assured that the epoch will soon arrive when you will be obliged to return to court her alliance.— If you now, on the other hand, admit her into the treaty which consolidates the great European Con federation, you will find that you have placed en additional weight in the scale of moderation and jus tice." Such is the report of this conference. I !Wow not what degree of credit ought to be attached to if ; but it is certain, that the scheme of continuing the proposed alliance was soon . afterwards abandon ed, and that France is to be admitted into the treaty. It is supposed that at the conference of . to-day, the Declaration or Address to which I have already al hided will Int agreed to. Mr. Owen, who has devised • new plan for the re. generation of the world, leaves Aix-la-Chapelle to morrow, for Paris. He hes now sent in all his de reopments to Congress, and requests a Commission , ..• tar. • to @amine tie ielieteur, 'erid to report to their neat _meeting. I hate prilivred a copy of his two last tiaperi, which I treriiimit in you as at least ettremely bating'. In the liaC t he supports the doctrine of ne rarity in all its extent, and tells the Sovereign, and Mittisteri that it is outing to the merest accident they were not cannibals •nti heathens. In the other, the Reformer starts up into a p►ophet, and warn* the 'milord of their (Taker. if they do not immediately cell in his assistance to secure them from the ac cumulating evils of " misdirected scientific power."
