SItTAII, SEPT. 25. The .10th August, 0. S. the fete of our beloved Sovereign was a day of great rejoicing for no, more tnemordhle than soy one in the amildrof Condom!, mid memorable also in the annals of humanity. Abittft two limns atter midnight the Emperor ar ►fved, on his way to Aix-la-Chapelle; according to hie orders, no ceremonies *bolt place. Already the.day before divine service had been ordered in the principal church, when the abolition of vassalage in the Government of Courland, which bud been resolved on by the Emperor, at the desire of the nobility, and the continuation of the Ilan of ~~ the new constitution fur the peznnts, was to Le published. At wren in the mottling, therefore, the Civil Governor, the ° authorities, the nobility, the citizens, and a great number of petunia, arrived to pour out their heart* to the formation of all that is good, and to thank him that the respectable clas s of their brethren, who cultivate the soil of the coun try. have also attained the rights of citizens. The solemn Te Demme began after the arrival of his Excellency the Governor, Marquis Palucci, and never probably was this hymn chaunted with more feeling than by the persons assembled on this day, on whirls above 400,000 of their brethren were to re gain the rights and dignity of men. After the 7'e !kart, the Governor addressed the Assembly in an appropriate speech, declaring the abolition of the slavery of the peasants by the de cree of his Majesty, at the request of the nobility, and announcing the plan of the new Ordinance re lating to the peasantry. The clergyman then ascended the pulpit, and held • discourse in German, in which he shewell the point of view in which the new constitution df 'the peasants was to be considered, and the impdrtauce of the present moment. He then addressed the peasants in Livonian, announced to them the bene. 6ts given them by the Emperor, saluted them as freemen, and exhorted them to gratitude to the Emperor, love to their late masters, and a proper use of their freedom, recommending them to pur sue the path of legal order and tranquillity, which each of them had now to take. A solemn hymn concluded this memorable'ce►emony. 'His imperial Majesty, after Divine Service in 'the Church of the Holy Trinity, went to the Greek 'Church, amidst the acclamations of the people, end beard Te Deum performed. Meantime the nobility, the public officers, and the peasants, who had been assembled in the church, went to the Castle, whither the Emperor repaired from the church, and had the civil Officers and the nobility presented to him. • A scene then succeeded which represented the Ramis.' Sovereign in the fairest light as the father of his people, or, as the world in its infancy called Princes, as the shepherd of his people. He ceased the assembled peasants to be brought before him, and discoursed to them in person, explaining what his goodness had given them, and the proper use of is. The worthy Deputy of the Country, Count Charles Von Medea, interpreted the discourse of the Emperor, who graciously beard the reply of two of the peasants. In the afternoon the Emperor, at the invitation of the nobility of the province, partook of an ele gant entertainment in the Hall of the Equestrian Order, which was tastefully ornamented with flowery shrubs. During the entertainment the Emperor gave as a toast, 44 The soef fore ♦! the Cour/and No ;" and Count Medea. in return, proposed " The health tf his Migiesty."

It will be followed by other troops, at such niter- Ids as may best preserve the line of march from being injured by the too rapid succession of swine relit bodies of men. A Strasburg Riper rommu nicates a very tittering representation of the disci pline observed by the Allied - troops during their residence in France, and adds an assurance. that the rapturous joy which now pervades every heroin at the restoration of France to her native indepen dence, by no means implies an individual dislike. to the foreign troop,. The officers were ever ready to redress the grievances of the people, and evinced a willingness highly cotnniendatle, to remove from their minds, by the strictest severity and justice, every impression of conquest or humiliation. No heart-buntings, therefore remain to keep alive the fire of national hatred, or to stimulate the van quished. to retaliate upon the victors. Such a tes timony is, therefore, not only flattering to the cha racter of the troops, proving, perhaps more than any other possible occurrence, the great progress of the present age in civilisation, but is also preg nant with pleasing reflections upon the evil that has been prevented, and the good that may he ex pected to arise frotn their exemplary discipline and forbearance. The Emperor of RUSSIA and King of PRUSSIA are expected in Paris on the 25th of this month. Their 'stay will be confined to a few days. They will, it is said. again meet at Aix-la-Chapelle, un til the conferences of their Ministers shall have ter minated ; but the variety of conjectures that are formed on this point proves how little is known of their intentions. Private accounts from Aix-la 'Chapelle, which can be relied on, assure us, that every affair is canvassed with such anxious se cresy, that until a point is determined. the public around the very chamber of conference cannot disco ver even the topics of discussion. Vtre know not, there fore. whet confidence can be reposed in the statement that Lord CASTLERRAGR has submitted to Congress a Memoiial from Sir Jesstim BANKS upon the means of civilising the northern comas of Africa, and of freeing Europe from their piracies. We should sincerely rejoice that such a subject, so interesting to humanity, had indeed occupied the attention of the enlightened person whose name is here mentioned, and that his suggestions had ob tained the support and countenance of Lord CAI TLEILIAOII. Friday being the anniversary of the execution of the late usilisppy Queen MAat C-ANTOI /MT., a fu neral service was performed in expiation of that me lancholy event in all the churches of Paris. The Kura attended as usual in the Palace Chapel, but the other members of the Royal Family appeared at the church of Saint Deuis, and manifested every proof of sorrow. The scenes of brutal outrages of which the late KING and QUEEN were the unhappy victims, must recur with dreadful force to the minds of the Royal Family, and of their emigrant servants, en an occasion when the me mory of the Queen's murder is. as it were, consecrated by the pomp and ceremony of re ligion. The force of this impression is perhaps not weakened oriltE present moment by the industry with which some *roans among the Ultra-Royalists express their apprehensions that dmilar scenes will again occur in France on the removal of the Allied armies. It is said, that one or more of the mem bers of the Royal Family entertain opinions not very ►emote from this, and tremble at the indepen dence of their couutry. as if it were inconsistent with their own safhty. The Elmo, however, and his Ministers, feel a generous confidence in the army mild the people. Thisconfidence is shored by she Allied Sovereigns and all the diplomatic wisdom of Es rope ; and where the question respecting the pro priety of withdrawing the Allied troops is a mutter solely of oh ' we certainly should feel most inclined to repose upon throe of the United Sore reigns and Moister» of Europe, having every possi ble source of information open to d i em, than on those of a miserable defeated faction in Francs., who view every thing through the distorted medium of their own terrors.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRICISH PRESS. - MINT•ITREET, BOROVI:U. SIR—As T have been etcr an inlimrtr of die in drpendrut principles of THE 8H1T1. , 11 l'ars4, and as L irerceive you have not gulled John Bull wish, the Mint Circular, I have been induced to give you a few hasty remarks on the new Crown—should you deem them worthy a place in your valuable columns. We thin k the Dragon too small and infinitely too contemptible an enemy, for the Grecian Knight (who, by-the-bye, is so drown in as to be a protect Dandy) to cope with—haired the horse could trample him to death, and the warrior's dirk could never reach it. In the celehreted picture of St. George, by RAPHAEL, the dragon, matelot of bettor, under the horse's feet, is by his side, and his bend nenly on a level with the Knight's knee, who is attacking him with his sword, the broken spear lying on the ground : this keeps possibility in view. Perhaps it might he objected, that placing the dragon in front of the horse would have required too cuusiderable a relief; but, as the Elgin Marbles are quoted as authority for the Mint, we may refer to them also as authority for milking the whole group uniform in relief. We think this the first instance in which two scratched lines and a motto, have been considered as representing the Garter perhaps the colour has been changed from blue to white ire this age of fantastic heraldry. The in scription is not to he 'yokes, of after the coins of CROMWELL, and the petition and reddite Crowns of CHARLES 11. by SIMON ; nay, whoever will take the trouble to compare the Crown of GEORGIE IL. of 174, will iustautly perceive the great inferiority of this tweeted collar-struck piece —the extreme breadth and thickness of the letters give it a moat heavy, crowded, and clumsy appearance, and where the slightest variation in the horizon:al situation of the blank has occurred, and this has frequently happened, the tops of the letters nu one side, and the bottoms on the other, are totally wasitnig; and we also think the bust much interior to those of preceding English Sovereigns, and certainly out to be compared to that of Lours XVII!. ou the ire franc piece—there is also a peerliarity eu the latter which we should have been very glad to have noticed on the Euglish Crown—the bust bring the ab►olute lac simile of Lents; whereas, no person iu the slightest degree acquainted with the person of our d Monarch, would venture to say, whatever lie sought write, that this additional specimen of the inveutive powers of the Mint bears the least re semblance to our good old Kist, ; the hair is boa ribly stiff and wiery, we might almost supper it was a wig forged by Cyclops. Why are the letter. on the surface of the coin smaller than on the edge ? A circle, we Suppose meant as au Ufildflitla. surrounds both obverse and reverse— to us it sug gests uo other idea than a circle of daggers, and it has been usual for the English Sovereigns to be encircled by the hearts, slot the spears of their subjects—though no unfit emblem cf a military despotism; by-the-bye, the elegant addition to the half crown of W. %V. P. is omitted on this per formance, perhaps the Right Hon. Worker of the Mint conceived the word Ptsstrucci to be more delicate, as well as affording variety.
