Some. -' of these arrartgemrots may be altered to a trifling • ti4feet ; bra if ne new occurrence takes place, similar a treaty of prolongation, there is no doubt that, . by4,he Ma of neat week, there will be ea few stars and Ministers seen in Air-la-Chapelle as the week irefore Ate meeting of Congress. Of the official acts b which the four Powers bare settled their future relations with France and each other, I have not as yet been able to procure copies.

The settlement of the afiiits of France w.,a the Payless object of the meeting of Congress, as pre-determined by the Treaty of Paris . In 1815; said, except in the single case of the air &maces between Baden and Bavaria, on which, after ' a note . highlj favourable to Baden, given in by itus tie, a fennel specific act is said latterly to-have been made, by , which, as I formerly mentioned, the Grand .Duke cedes to the King a part of the Tauber circle, and pays the pecuniary consideration which, ever Since 181 , 1, toe Emperor of Austria paid to Bavaria, ithis..rtite has not been transgressed I , y the firing of easy definitive arrangement. Every thing of import ' *see or difficulty in the affairs or relations of Europe has come under the review of the Sovereigns and Minister', who hare come to a general understand ing'on principles, and learnt each other's views ; but 'formal Treaties have not been made. The toile wing is au extract of a letter, dated Buenos Ayres, Sept. 4:— " The Spanish transpot-t Trinidad has pot into Ensenada. She brings '2OO man and some officers.— Sailed from Cadiz `2lst May, with nine other transports (in all, 2,200 men), for Lima ; separated from them .51 days since, on the Line; the whole of the troops very discontented ; and in all probability two or three other vessels would follow her example, if they found opportunity. it would appear they left Cults-with this intention, as the officers bring totters of iutroduc lion to sPVPIIIi individuals here. [EXTRACT 110 M TUE BUENOS AYRES GAZETTE OF SEPTEMBER '2l On the 26th of August, arrived at Ensenada, the Spanish ship Trinidad, which vessel formed part of au expedition of ten transports, ender convoy of the Spanish frigate Maria Isabel, of 50 gnus, bound to Line. The troops nn board the Trinidad rose upon the Officers, of whom they killed six and threw them overboard ; after which they obtained possession of the ship. It appears that the plot of the insurrection was laid in Cadiz, previous to their departure, and baring palled from the convoy in lat. 5.

The Buenos Ayres Government has determined to receive them in a friendly manner. TIW SUPREME DIRECTOR. OF THE. UNLTE.O PRO VINCES Or RIO DE LA PLATA TO HIS COUN TRY-MEN. CITIZENS,—A dangerous man, urged by misery and despair, had, according to his own confession, formed a plan directed against me, as the means of overiurniog the present Administration, and to im prove his fortune. lie sought accomplices for effect ing his purpose, but he was caught in the nets which he had spread for others. Surprised on the eve of Isis senseless attempt, he accused three individuals of consideration in the country es the authors, and he had unfortunately the address to give to his accuse .lion the appearance of truth. I ordered the arrest of the accused, because public order and tranquillity impnsad en me this disagreeable duty. I named a Member of the most Excellent Chamber to institute a criminal information conformably to nor laws; and as, according to my opinion, there exists not the risk which was thought to threaten public order, I have ordered the three principal accused to be set at libel ty. While she respective Magistrates draw up the sen tence according to the legal forms of our country, I heieby declare, that the precautionary measures which were by necessity adopted against the three individuals in question, ought not to draw any re fection on their honour and good reputation. As soon as the sentence of the Judges shall sanction the opinion of their innocence which I have formed, I promise to give as solemn a satisfaction as their arrest ' may have been public. Citizens, live in quiet.— Order can but momentarily be disturbed by conspira tors ; whoever is not of that description, need not fear to he confounded with the peaty. The honest man will always see his innocence shine forth, al though all scoundrels may conspire against him. Countrymen, this security is the fruit of your vir tues, for wbicb I owe my acknowledgments to you, cud rejoice in the glory of our country. (Signed) JUAN MARTIN DE PUE.YRREDON.

The Council with whom the care of his MaJestw's person now resides, held a Meeting yesterday-at the Treasury Chambers, Whitehall, to deliberate on the measures to be adopted in consequence of the QUEEN'S detnise.—The care of his MAJESTY is, by the Act of last Session, vested in the late QUEEN'S Council, until Parliament shall make due provision relating thereto; and the REGENT will, it is understood, forthwith issue 11P-Pilbelatriation, declar ing that the case cneutiouertiin the Act of the 51st year of his MAJESTY'S reign (viz. the demise of the QUEEN) had happened, and requiring Parliament to meet and sit at Westminster immediately after, such Proclamation shall have been pablished, or upon some day to be mentioned in such Proclamation, [within 60 days of the date of such Proclamation.— The cate of the KING'S person will be the primary consideration on the assembling of Parliament, but the opportunity will not, we trust, he ommitted, of enquiring into the expediency of effecting a very con. iiderible retrenchment in the Windsor Establish• ment. In the unhappy condition to which the KING is reduced, nothing more can be desired for him than so assurance of every convenience and attention that esti render his unhappy situation as comfortable as possible. To support the pageantry of State, and continue the observance of Court etiquette in a place where every circumstance offers a humiliating instance of human infirmity, is but a mockery of grandeur, and seems rather to heap insult opoo the Royal suf ferer than to afford consolation to his sorrows.— Every consideration of justice and propriety should induce Parliament to terminate an enormous expen diture, as unsuited to his MAJESTY'S situation, as in. consistent with the financial embarrassments of the country. An important piece of intelligence has been re. railed from Buenos Ayres. The expedition which forms the principal part of the force on which the Spanish Government meted its hopes et regaining the dominion of the Independent Previnees, has met with accelerate the fats thee, seems& to await ...f/b. *Pert received by the brig, Nightingale, 'Mega itt Liserpool from Buenos Ayres, state, that the Trinidad, one of the Spanish transports which sailed from Cadiz in May lest, bad entered the River Plate, the soldiers having rim on their officers, some of whom they killed. 'This per fectly confirms what we said, at the time this owe. dition sailed for Lima, of the dissatisfied state of the troops. When they put into the Canary Islands, they were in want of both clothing and provisions, and in such a situation nothing bet compulsion made them embark for a voyage round Cape Horn. Every man was besides aware of the fate that had befallen the followers of MORILLO, and among them was a secret determination not to draw their swords in the vile cause in which the Government, and not the Spanish People, were engaged. Many had even provided themselves with letters of recommendation for persons residing among the Patriots. It is also stated, that two other vessels of the expedition, being equally discontented, intended going into Valparaiso. The Buenos Ares Gazette, of the 2d, in confirming the fact of the mutiny, says, " It appears that the plot of the insurrection was laid in Cadiz, previous to their departure, and having parted from the convoy in let. 5. N. and crossed the Line, they struck the blow on the 25th of July.— There were on board the Trinidad 200 soldiers, ex clusive of the ship's crew and officers. The Govern ment has determitred to receive them in a friendly manner. The whole expedition consisted of 2080 men, of which 300 were cavalry." Such are the feelings and sentiments of the soldiery on whom King FERDINAND has to rely for the defence of Peru. By the same conveyance we learn, that some alarm had arisen at Buenos Ayres ; but the particu lars are not fully explained. A desperate character, supposed to be insane, accused three distinguished in dividuals of having laid a plan for overturning the Government, and seizing on the Supreme Director. They were arrested, but were soon at liberty, having convinced the Supreme Director of their innocence. Judicial proceedings had been instituted, in order to investigate the affair to the bottom, to vindicate the character of the accused, and a Proclamation, which we insert in another column, had beets issued by PULYILREDON, the Governor. i .'

The particulars in the following further extracts from the Americah Papers will be found of interest: 66 Obed Wright has taken a Spanish protection, and gone into the Spanish territory." DRONTREAL. lIERALD, OCT. 101 gg Since the resignation of General Bolivar, and the appointment of Gen. Paez, the prospects of South America begin to brighten. Hitherto the fe rocioas warfare between Gen. Morillo on the one hand, and General Bolivar on the other, has been one scene of blood and carnsge. The Patriots, enlist ing ander their banners all the refugees from other nations, emancipating the slaves, and fighting for life and independence, as well as every thing that was dear to them, disdained to receive quarter from the Royalists, while they, on the contrary, possess ing the fullest confidence in their General, and en gaged in a cause which they deemed righteous, were well appointed and reedy to shed the last drop of blood in the undertaking." [FROM THE BOSTON PAPER, OCT. 131 66 ftIOIIILE, SEPT. 11.—We learn from a Gentle man, who we know incapable of deceiving ny, that the late Spanish Governor of Pensacola, previous to his departure for Ilavannah, addressed a letter to Col. Brook, then in command at Pensacola, eipress ing his decided approbation of the Commander and the American army, to him and to those under his command. -." lop.-- The tardy manner in which the frontier of the Meows was evacuated by the Prussian contingent seems to have given great offence to the French Royal ' Family. The private letters from Paris assert, that the Deka n'Arsootmeste was to make a repreaenta. tion to the King of PRUSSIA on the 'abject. The; declaration that France is henceforth to form part of the Grand (no longer Quedruple)Alliance,was brought lao Paris by M. de CARANAN, about the 9th inst.— , Afthongis the public funds were better on the 12th, "numerous bankruptcies were considered likely to take place on the settling day at the end of this month. The speedy retirement of Count CorrYETTO .is talked of, and M. ROY bits been mentioped as his most probable seccessor. The accounts from Aix-la-Chapelle prepare us to look for the results of the whole of the diplomatic deliberations within a few days, and state, that of the assembled Ministers, the greater portion would leave the seat of Congress by the end of the present week. We are also given to understand, that Messrs. BAntnn and Co., in paying up the outstanding French contributions, will not contiue their draughts to houses in Amsterdam and Ilambargh only ; bet will, according to arrangements with the respective Powers, and with a view to the accommodation of each, give bills on London, Vienna, Frankfort, Augsburgh, and one or two other cities. Mr. BARING was to set off for Paris on Saturday last, Baron ROTHSCHILD on Tends'', and the whole banking corps was to be dis persed soon after. Yesterday morning the Earl of LIVERPOOL had an audience or the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton•hoose. Captain Ross, of the Isabella, is arrived in town, and has had several interviews With the Admiralty. Yesterday, at 12 o'clock, a Meeting of the Lords of the Council was holden at the Council Chamber, Whitehall, which was attended by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, the Lord Presi. dent of the Council, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Secretary of State for the Dome Department, the First Lord of the Admiralty, the Lord Steward of the Household, the Lord Chief Barotf, the Judge of the Admiralty Court, the Judge of the Arches Court, &c. The subject of discussion was supposed to be, whether it should be recommended to the PRINCE REGENT re. presenting the Sovereign, that the funeral of the Qum; should be similar to that of Queen CAROLINE, and whether the ceremony should be directed by an Order in Council, or left entirely to the superin. tendence of the Lord Chamberlain. The Duke of Nonsout, as Hereditary Earl Mar shal of England, came to town yesterday, to issuethe customary recommendation for a general mourning, to commence on Sunday nest. The enquiries et Carlton•hoose and the Queen's Palace were yesterday very numerous,' and among them were, Lord and Lady ELLENBOROUGII, the the French Ambassador, the Marchioness D'Osstoxo, Sir R. and Lady CHEATER, the Rev. A. end Mrs. SMILEY, the Vice-Chancellor, the Marchioness of llisTitios, &c. The answer to these distinguished personages was—" The Duchess of GLoucEsma and the Princess AUGUSTA are as well as can be ex pected." - The Countess Dowager of flancoußT sat op with the corpse of the QUEEN on Tuesday night as one of her Majesty's Lathes of the Bedcamber.

A Paper of yesterday, in speak, apparent harmony thst subsisted miiy, animadverts with censure on difference with which so many children could go abroad, at a m suffering parent stood so much in flotation. We believe, oafs anot morning, that the departure of the of the Pi incess Elisabeth was by no , indifference. They would have been inclined to remain, and to give dais, tension to their dying mother. It is probable that her &Nest will not be found considetable, as her Household was expensive, greatest part of her establishment and other sOotibles, she must be no will, the whole will of coarser from the King to the Prince Hegel It is probable, that along witl moods there may be also depose jewels; his diamond George, his sword, his famous button and loot have not been seen since his salamis The following further particm cated in a letter from Kew, of ti of her late Majesty The bed of the Queen, daring was surrounded by her Royal offr than half an hour, they remained a suite of agonizing suspence, ai after her Majesty bad ceased to ceases continued supporting their much absorbed in grief to observe catastrophe ; and when Sir Henry ' that the mortal existence of her . end, their Royal highnesses were that they wept audibly.

The carriages for their Royal Highnesses sad their attendants were accordingly got ready; bat the hour of departure was repeatedly postponed, asd eventually the removal was given up aftogetber. " Immediately on the decease of her Majesty, the Royal Standard, which, since her residence at Kee, had been constantly flying on the tower of the chapel, was lowered half down the staff; and, in the course of the evening, a detachment of 60 men from the lit Regireent.of Guards, under the command of Iltrrow, arrived from the Horse Guards, at porary barracks on Kew Green. Yesterday morning, the Princesses left their meats, for about a quarter of an hour, cod the private gerdens behind the Palace. " At two o'clock, the Prince Regeat arri. companied by the Duke of York. The Pripet, setting out for the Palace, had driven to Yor and found the carriage of his Royal Highness waiting at the door to convey him ors a visit dolence to his afflicted sisters. The Prince alighted for a few minutes, and afterwards' brothers drove off together in the Prince carriage, for the Palace, that of the Royal lowing, unoccupied. " Soon after the arrival of the Prince Regent, of the Royal carriages was sent for Sir David and Sir Everard Home being already at mortal remains of the Queen were wrapped cloth for the purpose of preservation; but was not opened.
