Her Majesty had passed the night at MoeDi : Her Ma jesty the Empress of Austria went a 'certain dis tance to meet her. Th 6 Emperor_of Russia and the Emperor - of AuStria set out a little later. - All these great Personages having met at tLe Church of Maria Bruno-, they were escorted to the Palace by the'Noble Hungarian Guard and flat Pages of the Court'. When her Majesty the Empress of Russia descended from her carriage, she was re ceived by the Courts of Austria and Russia, and .conducted to- her apartments with the ceremonial common upon such occasions. Their Majesties the King and Queen of Ba - ria, and the, Prince Charles of Bavaria, arrivcJ in the evening ; they were received with the ho nours due to their rank.

AUGSBURG, OCT. 2. -Several - letters front Italy state, that'Austria cedes to the Grand Duke of Tuscany the country between the Mincio and the frontiers of Piedmont. PARIS,-OCT. B.—Letters fro . m Bourdeaux state, that l 5 French vessels had sailed for Martinico and Guadaloupe, laden with flour, provisions, and other French productions. The statue of Louis XI V. which used formerly to •Orrtament the, front of the Invalids, is about to 'he restored. Couston, one of our most able sculptors ,is employed upon the occasion. • The famous Vendean female warrior, L'Auge vin was admitted yesterday, under the auspices of her former Conimanders, to present her Memoirs to the King and Royal Family, who received them with great bounty. These Memoirs,- which have been published, display traits of fidelity, fortitude, devotion, and courage, on the part of a woman, unparalleled in history, even in that of Joan of Arc. She fought both on foot and on horseback, with sabres and with pistols, and always in the adv - anced guard. • In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, a discussion of some length took place upon the law respecting the Liberty of the Press. A consi derable diversity of opinion prevailed upon the questions, whether . the Assembly had a right . to discuss the whole subject again ; or whether they were confined to the consideration of the Amend- 7 rnents proposed by the Peers ; and whether the Deputies had a right to propose other Amend ments ? It was determined that the - Assembly should not discuss the whole suliject The Athendment of the Peers, respecting the omission of the Preamble, was agreed to. On the sth Article of the law, M. Dumolard proposed, as an amendment, the words " con trary to the Charter," instead of " inconsistent with, but the.ainendment was not agreed to. The other amendments of the Peers Were.then -agreed to by a majwity of 172 to 14. The Committee to which the Petitions of se several Booksellers had been referred, made its report. The Petition complained that the Peti tioners had been arrested, thrown into dungeons, end cut Off from all connexion with their fami- Les, and prayed the Assembly to break their chains, and set them at liberty.. The Report vatted that they had sold'ari illegal pamphlet, il legal because it had:not the publisher's name, and because it was an atrocious libel upon the First Magistrate, and that the degree of confinement used was only such as was necessary for safe cus tody. The Report further stated, that nothing had been done illegally to these' Petitioners 3 and the Petition was rejected by an immense majo rity, only two or three Members supporting it. Letters from Vienna state, that the Conferences between the Plenipotentiai'ies are daily 'confirmed. The Icing and Queen of Sweden are returned to Stockholm.

SCHAMIAUSEN; SEPT. 28.---SellWitZ and Lower Underwaiden have not yet acceded to the new Fe deral Union, though the Diet has omitted no means to induce them to it, and Uri and Upper 'Underwalden have positively refused to renew the league of 1315. The troubles in 'Tessin° , have again assumed a serious appearance. M. Von Sonnerberg, Com mander of the troops of the Diet, who had at first been forced to retire into the Castle of Altdorf, and the valley of Misox, having received reinforce ments, was enabled tO act offensively, to reinstate the Little Council, and fora moment restore tranquillity. But new troubles soon broke out. Near Lugano, where two companie s were station ed, a skirmish is said to have taken place, in which some were killed and wounded on .both sides. The two companies were forced to retreat over the lake to Mendriss ; the rebellious :pea sants designed to occupy Lugano, and then to pro ceed with their whole force to Bellinzona, so that the Little Council way perhaps be forced to leave tins place for the second time. On this news, which is derived from verbal accounts; two mores French Papers to the 10th reached us this morning, and, with a few further Extracts from ,those of yesterday, occupy our preceding columns. The August Assembly at Vienna receives flailiac cessions.' The Empress of RussiA, the Queen ni BAVARLI, the Duke of BNUNSWICK, and many other hizh personages are among those mentioned in the lost .accounts from that Capital: altes and rejoicings are incessant, and the business of thus World is being settled in the midst of amusements so gay and entertainments' so, splendid dot one would think the sole occupation of life was pleasure. The best understanding, however we rejoice to say, appears to subsist upon all serious questions, as well as upon matte's of mere pomp and pa-, geantry; It is mentioned that Bentheim is to be ceded to Hanover. Bentbeim formed part of Westprialia, between Munster and Overvssel, and is a long slip .of territory, about 40 miles in length, and from 3 to 12 in breadth. The Petition to the House of Deputies of the Booksellers of Paris who have been incarcerated for the publication of disloyal, mischief-stirring, and seditious pamphlets, having been referred to a Committee, and reported, the Chamber decided, by a vast majority, that these persons having been guilty of offences against the law, had no right to Parliamentary interference to screen them from the penalties they had thereby incurred. The numbers on this division were the whole ChaM ber to two 'or three voices. Some alterations in Italy are spoken of, among which ,i . the cession of the country between the Mincio and Piedmont by Austria to Tuscany is the most prominent. , We have also Frankfort and Brussels Papers, but their contents are unimportant. The Gazelle, as we yegcrday mentioned it would, contains only the uld accounts from Fort Eric. The Meeting of Merchants on the subject of the payment, of the duties on Bonded Goods re quired by, the Treasury, took' place yesterday, and an.account.of. their proceedings will be found in a subsequent column..

(FURTH!: R EXTRACTS.] • FULDA, SEe'r. 30:—It will be recollected tha't some public prints lately contained 'violent inyde.- tives against the Princes of the House of Nassau, for sending some 'of their troops to Holland. The Gazette of Nassau now contains a long official prtiele, explailthig this transaction, as it referred to . the 2d Nassau Itegiment. This regiment,.now consisting of three battalions, is to remain for five years, after the expiration of the present.year, united as an. auxiliary corps with the Army , of "the Netherlands, under the Prince of Orange, but not.be considered as incorporated with or forming au integral partot .that army; it retains. its uni form, its standards, &c. and its particular forina tion and internal jurisdiction. His Serene High ness the Duke of Nassau has the exclusive notni- . nation of the Officers, &c. who preserve - the rank and seniority in the Military Establishment of the . Duchy, -without regarding' the changes in . the Army of the .Netherlands. _ The Princes of the House of Nassau have'heeu the first to give their subjects a free Constitution: It is almost a transcript of the English 'Constitti tion ; a Parliament of Eke() Houses ; the duration or it seven years, exe.; 'ineed some. Geru►<u► Jour7 nals olmerve, that this exact similarity it:, perhaps, all that can be said against it, since it on this account Wants that nationality ‘vhich should seem requisite in every Constitution. On the.lsth and 16th Atigust, there were great Kqes in the island of Elba, games, balls, feasts, .13nonaparte* treated his troops with wine, and had the pleasure to hear them cry " Five l'Ent peretir!“ Some streets are now:named after streets in Paris. ?I ~ (1.~. :IRrivr•.n-1 France, 2 Puernsey and Jersey.
