PARIS, SEPTEMBER U. The King heard miss yesterday in the chapel of 'the palace. His Majesty, surrounded by Madame and the Princes of the Royal Family, appeared at the balcony of the glass gallery, where bis proem excited the liveliest acclamations. The smite of the Duke of Richelieu. at •Ait-ls- Chapelle, is as brilliant as it is numerous. Every thing announces that the ' Embassy of France wilt display great splendour during the sitting of Cone grew The number of strangers who had arrived et Aix la-Chapelk to the 17th of September eamiented to 10,117. It is raid that a Grandee of Spain is at Aix•la-Chapelle, where he indiutaine the strictest incognito. The Court of Anises et Aix-la-Chopelle has condemned to death two presorts, minted Henry Bergmann and Chretienoe Liffert, convicted of a horrible murder. The female convicted of peal cide is condemned to have her hand cut off, and then to be led to the scaffold, hiving her head co vered with a black veil, and her feet asked. Sbe had been monied to a French soldier, who formed part of the expedition to Russia, and *Cahoot no account has since been heard. She thee instigued with Bergmann, a soldier who hoe sostriesa the disasters of 1812. The nether d Chretiease Liffert for a long time opposed this criminal union, of which two children were the fruits. The un happy mother paid dearly fur her resistance to the scandslees commerce of her daughter with her parameer. They devised the project of making away with her. She was returning one day with her daughter from the market of Nomegues. Arrived at the park of Cleves, the daughter asked her mother if she still persisted in opposing her union with Bergmann. To this she replied In the van inane', using at the same time reproaches. Ou a concerted signal Weems ~,,, who had placed him self 111 ambush, iu a place pointed out by his tuts trese. appeared, awl repeated the setae question, and on her refusal, be flung the unhappy woman on the ground, and inflicted on her thirteen wounds with a knife, the daughter ho'kling the masher while she struggled to defend herself against the assassin. The Brussels Papers announce a tragic event which took place in that city, upon the night of the 14th inst. A widower. of a respectable trench fa oily, had resided in Brussels for several years with his son and daughter. upon whom he lavished all his fondness. Within a few days he gave souse symptoms of mental alienation, but he still did not seem to be wholly deranged in his understanding. On this night. *bent one o'clock. having armed himself with two pistols, he proceeded to his daugh ter's apartment, to murder her. But snatching up a sword he attacked her. and indicted six wounds, of which two are thought to be inurtal. *floe wretched victim of her father's madness had strength enough still left to rise and dee. bet the father put.ued her down the stairs, until she found refuge to a cellar. The madman then returned to seek his son, hut the youth hearing his sister's screen's had so effectually secured the door of his chamber. that his father could not force it open. After Many vain attempts be sought the female servant. whom he found, and murdered by re peated blows front the pommel of the sword, when he closed the horrid scene by throwing himself from the window. He was found dead upon the pavement. He had on the day preceding engaged three places in the diligence fur Paris, whether he intended to proceed with his children. and his baggage had al ready been sent lathe post-house. It is not known whether any distressing circumstance has mains buted to tins sudden alienation of his understanding. six-i.s-cnarstAx. SUPT. S. To ,preveut frauds asnoogst the iniuserous valets who copy with foreig►►crs, the Authorities require coed to Aix-la-Chapelle to treat with those of the Currier Belts upon these objects. It is said• that among other matters will be discussed the rectifies. teasel the bousdaries, or rather the daisies of souse points in dispute which hire thence wrier°. It is probable that on this occasion some arrenpments will be made relative to changes of territories be tween Prussia and the Netherlands, bat these es changes will not be so estimate es bu hitherto been imagined. _ nausnaeu.

The Grand Council of Friburg, convoked by extraurdivary summons the 13th of this month, has decreed, on the proposition of the Council of State, awl by a majority of 69 votes against 48, that the religious order known by the MIN of the Company of Jesus, shall be re-established in the College of St. Michel. at Friburg, to follow there a religious life, and devote themselves to public iostruction, conformably to the institutions of its founder, ap proved by the Bull of the Holy Father, of the 7th August, 1814.

The Duke de Richelieu, ou his way to Aix-la- Chapelle, made • short stay at the head-quarters of the English army at Cambray._ According to what transpires, the Government is convinced that the Army of Occupation will leave France at the end of October and the beginning of November. This happy news acquires a degree of certainty by several measures taken at the head quarters of the Allied troops of the centre and right wing. It is said that the English Government has hired a sufficient number of vessels to fetch from Calais and Boulogne the English army, about 24,000 strong. It is even affirmed, that the legion of the North, in garrison at Paris, which is remarkable for its line appearance and the excellent spirit which animates it, is intended to resume possession of Valenciennes, and will make part of the gar rison of this place. The moment of the libe ration of the French territory will be celebrated by public feta and rejoicings; for what truly French heart hes not sighed at seeing the country occupied by foreigners ?—(Brussels Papers, Sept. 29.) We have received Paris Papers of Monday last. It is understood that daring the more formal and solemn discussions between the Allied Sove reigns, the town of Airt-la-Chapelle will be made the theatre for various diplomatic conferences between the Ministers of some of the Powers of Europe. Some differences respecting boundaries remain to be determined between Prussia ■nd the Netherlands, and the presence of the King of PaurstA, with some of his Ministers, at Aix-la- Chapelle, affords a favourable opportunity for regu lating them. It will, we have no doubt, be found a favourable opportunity for determining many other points of public importance, in which we fear the interests of mankind in general will not be permitted to contravene those of the Monarchs. A Grandee of Spain has repaired to Aix-la-Chapelle ; his name is not mentioned. He purposes to asaistain • strict iscoreito, and is probably commissioned by the Court of Madrid to induce the Allied Sovereigns to entertain the af fairs of Spain is some of thosefasailier aniversations which the Rulers of Europe mean to hold during the continuance of the Congress. The Emperor of RUSSIA will visit Brussels and Paris after the termination of the Congress. It is stated that a person has arrived at Aix-la- Chapelle, styling himself " Charge d'Affaires of the lodepeadents of South America," but neither is his name mentioaed, nor is it said by what State in South America he has been more immediately de legated to attend the meeting of the Sovereigns of Europe. The circumstance, however, is by no means improbable : for as it has been for some time pmmlly believed, in consequence of certain offi cial communications proceeding from the Cabinet of Madrid, that the atCsiss of Spain, and more espe cially her differences with the Tntns.Atlantic Co lonies, would assume a very prominent place in the conferences at Aix-la.Chapelle. it was but a pru dent. precaution in the Independents of South Ame rica, or any part of theta, to send an authorised agent to the scene of conference, for the purpose of explaining difficulties, and giving information to the probable arbiters of their future destinies. An Evening Paper exclaims. that a person presenting himself at Aix-la.Chapelle in this alleged character Oust expect to be treated u an impo•tnr, and far this special reason, because. as the Indepesnlenta of South America have not as yet united them selves into one body. uo individual could re• resent himself as their Char d'Affiiires.

" The Queen law hod gm& boors sleep Is the sight, hot it does sot appear to haw palmed say material done of she symptoms of her N4syti disease. FIL MILMAN.• The reason of the above Bulletin being only signed by one of the Qusse's Physicians is, that Sir HENRY RAU'S'', was absent from Kew, at Windsor Palace, attendieg the Princess Semite. Sir FRANCIS MERMAN visited the Wen yeller. day wonting at eight o'clock, in her chamber. and afterwards drew up the above Bulletin, which was sent off by a hobby groom to London, for the satisfaction of the public. The Quasi' was soon after removed to her sittiorroom, in an easy chair on wheels. About eleven o'clock the Duchess 'of GLOO. CZSTIIII and the Princess AtIGUITA, accompanied by Sir F. MILMAN and Ge neral TAYLOR" left the Palace and walked in Kew Gardens. The Royal Party returned to the Palace at • quarter before one o'clock. Sir H. HALIPORD retained to the Police about twelve o'clock from Windsor. Sir H. CAMPBELL arrived at the Pal•ce about three o'clock in • poet- chaise, with letters and communications from the Princess ELIZAIIITH of Hass Housoote. The Duchess of You arrived at four o'clock from Oatlands, driving herself in her auricle, with three outriders. Her Royal Highness stopped at the Crown Inn at Twickenham, to have her horses refreshed ; she did not alight from her curricle. Her Royal Highness continued at the Palace till sear six o'clock, when she left on her return to Ostlands. The Pattrcs Racstrr arrived exactly at half past five o'iclock, and had the satisfaction to find his beloved Mother rathe► better than she was in the morning. His Royal Highness remained about an hoar, and then left on his return to London. The Duke of You -arrived is his carriage, fol. lowing close after the Panics Runny's, the car riages of the Royal brothers having joined at Turn hout Green. The Royal Duke remained to dine with his Royal sisters. Among the distinguished characters who called yesterday to make their duti ful inquiries after the state of her MAI WITY'S health were, Viscount SYDNEY. Lady DORCHRSTRR, Lady 81111111111, and the Countess Dowager of CARDIGAN. By a Flanders Mail which arrived last night we have received Aix-la-Chapelle Gasettes to the 48th of September. They announce the arrival of the French Minister the Duke of Ricsamen, of Lord CAsTLIRSASIII sod his suite, end of seversl other diplomatic persoos, whose presence is required at Congress. The Emperor of Ausrat• arrived at Ments we the ted, and was expected at Aix-lo- Chapelie oo the Mb. The Doke of RteseLteu, on his way to that city, had an interview at Cambay with the Duke of Wit.t.tnerox. at which. report states. it was agreed that the English army, 22.000 strong, should evacuate the French territory is the sone a few, %. • 3 N • quibbling, we presume, is offered as a speci. men of logical precision, or of very ucute special pleading. Now, supposing that this man sere to change his general desigoation into one more sloe. cific, and instead of styling himself " spilt for the Indepeodelots of South America," he were to call himself agent for the lodependents of Buenos Ayres, or of Arenernela, or of any other town or proviuce, would be in such case, if representing his constituents truly, be considered and treated a. en impostor? Most certainly he would not ; awl we do toot believe that the Monarchs assembled in Congress would refuse to hear his statements, or reject his information, even though he had not ob tained his oppointmeist from all the Independents assembled in common council. Possibly some T►easury Journalist, filled with the dreams of /fgt. tiataes,f, might imagine that the legitimate Monarchs of Europe would not recogstise an agent, commis.. sioned by men who presume to question the rights of one of the Royal fraternity ; hut it mug at the same time be remembered, that if the Allied Sove reigns undertake the office of mediators, they must thereby acknowledge the existence of the lode. pendent' as a distinct Power, and, consequently, in their office of mediators, they must submit to hold conferences with persons delegated by the Potter they have already acknowledged. Authentic accounts front the cost of Africa state, that the Spaniards have transported a greater num ber of slaves to the West Indies in three months of the present year, than in the same interval in any preceding year. So much for the feeble policy of Lord CarmestßAcm at Vienna, in acquiescing in the continuance, for a given time, of the Slave Trade on the part of Spain and Portugal, after it had been abolished by Great Britain. It was ob vious that the effect of this arrangement must be to transfer the British portion of the trade to these two Powers, and that, by limiting its continuance in point of time, they would pursue it with greater zeal and energy than if it had been left indefinite in its duration. Twelve thousand slaves were lately imported into the Havannah, from Africa, in the course of one week. Count Lumen, the Russian Ambassador at tills Court, left London yesterday for Aix-la-Cha pelle, by the directions of the &maim. His E.. cellency war accompanied by M. de Pouct;r4- POILII. the Secretary of Embassy. It is asserted that Cardinal GONSA LTI has re cently written to the English Minister, that the POPS had it its contemplation to send it Catholic Priest to General BONAPARTE at St. Helena. His Britannic Majesty's Minister replied to the Cardi nal, that it could only be effected by the Priest consenting . to *abject himself to all the regulations at present to fare in the island, and upon the ex press condition that he would remain there at least five years. It is suspected that this condescension on the part of his Holiness, is to be attributed to the earnest solicitations of the BONAPARTE family at Rome. • A government packet will, in future, sail from Bristol every Thursday for Dublin, and the Wa terford vessels will soil on the Bth and 13th of each month.—/Barh (.'hrerade.)

A cask, belonging to the ■hip Loads, was found by Capt. PEcturry, of the Nerd George, of Hull. on the SlOth March, who has brought the cask thi ther on his return from Davis's Straits.
