In consequence Ministers of the latter Power will go to Aix-la-Chapelle to treat with 'those of the Coett of Berlin on those poiiits ; it is said that one of those is the rectifica tion of the frontiers, or rather the settling some dis puted points arising from this rectification. It is probable that there will be some exchanges of ter ritory between Prussia arid the Netherlands, but these exchanges will not be very considerable. It is affirmed positively, that the King and Queen of Wirtemberg will be here in the strictest incognito at the arrival of the Emperor Russia, arid to go a few days after to Brussels where they will spend a fort night with the Princess of Orauge. The Grand Duke or Baden intended also to come hither, but his health not allowing it, he will send his Minister of State, Baron Borstell, who will ap pear at first as a private person, but is invested with full powers to regulate definitively all the relations of the Grand Duchy of Baden which may be terminated here, because Bavaria appeals to the Treaties con cluded by the great Powers concerning the indemni ties to be given to Bavaria for its cessions to Austria. THE PROPOSED MEDIATION RET'WEEN SPAIN -ND THE AMERICAN COLONIES. . As the attention of the several Sovereigns and Mi• nisters at the proposed Congress has been called to the question of mediation between Spain and her Sooth American Provinces, and pledges have been given that the basis proposed shall be liberal, we un derstand the following to be the grounds stated l►y the moderate party of Independents; on which, if the subject is actually brought forward, any delibe ration likely to be effectual can be held:- 1. Geuerol oblivion of the past, and no injury or molestation to occur to the persons or properties of those who may have taken pert in the lievoluti.m. 2. Perpetual abolition of the Inquisition and Tor. tarp. _ _ 3. Pepetual abolition of an exclusive Privilege (Faeroe), all persona being equal in the eye of the Law, and all to he rewarded or punished according to their merits or demerits. 4. Abolition of all Government Monopolies (Rear:cos), and of inland Custom-hooses. 5 Freedom of the Press • and Commerce with all Nations; of Agriculture, an d of all kinds of industry. 6. E.tiblishmenta of Chambers of Representatives. 7. The King to sanction all Acts of the Chambers. 8. Religious toleration ; but the Catholic Worship to predominate. 9. Per petual abolition of Fcclesiaatical Tithes ; but the espences attending Divine Worship and its Ministers to be defrayed from contributions to be raised en account of the State, in order to avoid 'the enmity between the Pastor and his flock, which is generally produced by ecclesiastical imposts, and the irremediable abuse inseparable from them. 10. The King to nominate to all employments, giv ing them to A merican. and Spaniards iodised mina (ply. 11. The Military Force to be composed of natives alone, according to regulations to be made by the Chambers, with the King's approbation. 12. AU Trials to be public, and by means of a Jury. 13. The Judges to he for Life, and independent of the King; but the King to have the appointment of them. 14. Foreign Powers to have Consuls in America. 15. Foreigners of all Nations to be allowed the privilege of establishing themselves in America. 16. The Sovereignty of the King of Spain, and his Successors, to be acknowledged in America, and the oath of Allegiance and Fidelity to be taken agreeable to the aformentioned articles. 17. The infraction of any of the above Articles by the Spanish Government, to constitute the abso. lute independence of America from that Government : and in this case the Allied Sovereigns shall acknow ledge them by an interchange of Envoys or Ant bassadors. 18. The Allied Powers conjointly and separately to guarantee to America the full and entire accom plishment of all the foregoing articles. As Spain herself has implored the mediation of the Allied Powers, and her Note offered to submit to their decision, provided it was compatible with the preservation of the King's rights and dignity, it is further understood that their mediation on the afore. said terms will be first proposed to the Spanish Go verment, for their own previous adoption at borne, and if not acceded to, they wilt proceed no further in the business; but if accepted by Spain, the same will then be profered to the Independent Govern ' meats of America.

The Bulletin of her MAJESTY'S health issued yes. terday, stated that the QUEEN had enjoyed some deep in the course of the night, but that she still la boured under the same symptoms of disease. The Official Bulletin of this morning is as follows : " Kew Palace, Sept. 28. ' The Qat= feekherself somewhat refreshed this morning, her Marttsry having slept well in the night. (Sighed) s' F. 111 I LMA N, gg 11. 11ALFORD.” • ._us appears, that the comparative ;Me of ease end comfort, in which her MAJESTY has passed the last three nights, has not been productive of ay., alleviation io the general symptoms of her disorder. Okthe contrary, her malady obstinately continues to hold on its course. in spite of the utmost skill and ezertions of the Physicians. It is, therefore, but too evident, as we have before observed, that the sleep, which she occasionally appears to enjoy in the night, is merely an caress of torpor, brought on by her sufferings through the day, and by the additional aid of opiates; for though, on awaking, she sometimes appears a little renovated, the alteration rarely con tinues more than an hour or two. Her MAJESTY within these last two days, has complained of a painful tension and sense of weight nn the right side; end she is at the same t;me trou bled with a slight hectic cough ; both of which symp toms, we understand, indicate a diseased liver, end corroborate our former remarks on the nature of her complaint. On Saturday evening, the cough was very troublesome, with a considerable accession of fever ; but, towards the middle of the night, these onfavourable symptoms again subsided a little, and the Royal Patient sunk into that torpid and lethargic repose, in which she always remains when not under the influence of pain. About four o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday, the Princess AUGUSTA received a letter, by espress, from the Princess SOPHIA, announcing that her Royal Ilighness was seriously indisposed. Sir FRANcrs M MILAN had previously left the Palace, fur his house at Pinner. A messenger was, in consequence, sent after him, to desire his instant return, whilst Sir HENRY HALVORD prepared to set out for Windsor. In the meantime the PRINCE REGENT arrived from Carlton-house, and Sir HENRY HaLroan had an im mediate interview with him, when he departed for the Castle, in his own carriage, but with the horses and servants of the Princess AUGUSTA. The PRINCE did not remain more than half an hour at the Palace, and then returned direct to Carlton-house. Y esterday morning, at seven o'clock, Sir licrutY BALrottn returned from visiting the Princess So emA ; and, having signed the Bulletin of the day, and had so interview with her MAJESTY and the PRINCESSES, he again went back to Windsor, whence he once more returned to the Palace. Dutch and namburgh Mails arrived this morning, conveying a variety of particulars respecting the movements of the Sovereigns,Ministers,and Generale, preparatory to the opening of the Congress at Aix la-Chapelle. The important Meeting, upon which the future destiny of nations is to rest, his by this time taken place. Confident expectations seem to be entertained on the French frontier of the speedy withdrawing of the Allied armies, and great prepara tions are making for celebrating the event by public festivities. It seems probable that there will he some exchanges of territory between Prussia and the Netherlands. The differences between the Austrian Court and that of Bavaria will present some ticklish points to the Mediators. Bavaria appeals to the Treaties concluded by the great Powers, concerning the in demnities to be given to Bavaria for its cessions to Austria. The King of Pnussta is endeavouring to solace his sebjects (or the postponement sine die of the fulfilment of his promises to grant them Representa tive Constitutions, with the erection of an iron mo nument in the capital 46 to all those who shared in time struggle for liberty and right." The best monu ment would be the establishment of a liberal Consti tution, to confer the enjoyment and ensore the pre- I servation of that liberty and right, for which so many perished in the field of battle ; but the iron age is not yet passed, and an iron pillar is all that the Prussian People are to have for the exertions which they so strenuously made for " liberty and right." The following are extracts FRENCH FRONTIERS, SEPT. 20.—The Duke of Richelieu arrives to day at Cambray on his way to Aix-la-Chapelle; the chief object of his mis sion is to urge the evacuation of the French territory by the Allied troops. At Cambray he was to have some conferences with the Commanders-in-Chief of the Army of Occupation, and then to proceed to Aix-la-Chapelle by way of Brussels. Lord Castlereagh will leave Spa about the 24th or 25th. The Governor of Lille lately gate public notice to the inhabitants of that city, that the Svson troops were going to be exercised both with artillery and musketry, to prevent all absurd reports. The in. habitants of the Northern departments are fully per. suaded of the speedy departure of the Allied troops, and are preparing to celebrate it by public entertain ments. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 23.—The *Doke of Wellington set out this morning for Aix-la-Chapelle. During the Congress his Grace will be accompanied by a very numerous suite. The necessary preparations are making in his Hotel in that city, to give brilliant en.' tertainments. • • .

BERLIN, SEPT. 19.—The day before yesterday (Thursday. 17th) his Majesty the Emperor Ales. ander arrived here from St. Petersbergh, which city he left on the 7th. His Majesty, oar King, went to Copenick to meet hisnugust friend, whence their Me. jesties mode their solemn entry into Berlin, between the files of troops, amounting to 24,000 men of all arms, and welcomed by the tilling of bells end dit. charges of artillery. As the troops filed off before the Royal Palace, his Majesty the Emperor placed himself at the head of his Prussian Regiment of Gm oadiers while it passed before the King. The EL peror wore the uniform of his Prussinn Regiment and the Order of the Black Engle; our King and all the Princes wore the Order of St. Andrew. The Emperor goes to.morro. to Potsdam, and thence to Stutgard and Weimar. The King sets out for Ail-la-Chapelle on the TM. His Mnjesty the King has issued the following Cabinet Order respecting the Memorial of the two last wars to be erected near Berlin : " To the Defenders of the country in the yeas 1813, 1814, and 1813. " Now that monuments to the fallen heroes have been erected on the remarkable fields of battle, it is my wish to erect also a monument of iron in the capital of the kingdom to my faithful People, wad io particular to all those who shared in the struggle for liberty and rights, as a common acknowledgment of generous devotion to their King and Country. The first stone of the foundation has been this day laid. The solemnity of thin act was heightened by the presence of my august friend and ally his Ms. jesty the Emperor of Russia. In the space of a year this monument will be completed; on honourable recollection for the valiant con. batants of the memorable period, and a terioss warning to the youth of the kingdom to miles them in valour, and in true attachment to their King and Country. FREDERICK WILLIAM. " Berlin, Sept. 19, 1818." SAXON Y, SEPT. 17.—A Leipzig Paper says," The trade in colonial goods from flomborgh to Dresden continues to become more and more brill. ; for uhich reason many Leipzig houses have establish. menti there. In every case Dresden will become a very considerable piece of commerce, 'rhea the principles of the free navigation of the Elbearetega lated.—(liarnburgh Paper, Sept. 22.) Philadelphia and other American Papers to the Vith ult. bare reached uc. The last ad vices from Venezuela and vicinity mention, that owing to the rainy season all the military operations had been suspended, that the Patriots had retired to their strong holds on the Oronoco, and the Spaniards were cantoned in the Caraccas. BOLIVAR had re moved himself, or had been removed from the head of the Revolutionary Army, and had assumed the Civil Authority at Augustura. General PArz, en Officer of great experience and courage, had taken the chief command of the army, with Gen. MARINO for his second. He had his head-quarters at St. Fernando, where the English auxiliaries are. An article from Norfolk states the etriril of a vessel from Aux-Cayes, which brings intelligence of Ctintszoewz withdrawing his forces, which it had been reported were intended to attack Port-as pi ince. The French Papers, which have been received to the 15th inst., inform us, that King Louts was pre vented from taking his accustomed excursion on Toes day, by a slight attack of the gout, but was in suffi cient health to give a private audience in the morn ing to the Austrian Minister, who delivered to.hiat a letter from the Emperor FRANCIS, and to hold, after Mass, a Levee, at which all the Foreign Mini sters attended. Next day his. Majesty was able to preside at a Council of Ministers. The statement' in there Papers respecting the movements of the Sovereigns and Diplomatists towards Aia•la-Cha• pelle, and the political rumours connected with bham, are anticipated by the Flanders Journals. Thursday the Royal Family received letters from the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE. A few days since letters were also received from the Duke end Duchess of CAMBRIDGE. The Duke of KENT resides in Brussels till the 3a of October, when he departs for Ammersbach, on the Rhine, to reside on the estates of the Duchess. The French beauty, Niatiame RECAMIER, who has been at'',Aix.ls.Chapelle for her health, is now re. turned to Paris. The Act of Parliament for the payment of the Staff of the Irish, Militia, provides an ellostance for Ludging.motiey to the Paymaster, Adjutant, and Qoarter-mester ; bat this indulgence does not extend to the English Militia. A Gentleman who has recently arrived here from ISt. Helena, gives a melancholy picture of the climate in that island, and the diseases to which it is subject. —The most prevalent complaints are dysentety and liver affections, of which more than 80 persons be• longing to the Conqueror have didd in 15 mootbs.--,, (Plymouth Telegraph.) • _ reidy belt' contredictfid:' The'deco °Me )vereigns will'ponn put '0 end to this uneertainty.
