VIENNA PA VERS. VIENNA, OCT. 2.----This forenoon a solemn mi litary service was performed. Between S and 9 o'clock, nine battalions of infantry, Schwartaen lrerg'S regiment oflans, and the Grand Doke Coakantine's regiment of cuirassiers, assembled between the City Gate and the New Gate, .and formed a double square, in the centreo,f , Which a tent teas erected as a th;pel, At half :past ten, their Majesties the Emperors of Austria and Russia, and the Kings of Prussia and , Denniark, arrived on horseback, attended by a numerous suite 'of Generals and Staff Officers. His Royal I - Ugliness Field Marshal the Prince of Wirtenalierg received, those exalted Perionages, and conducted them into the square. The Sovereigns first rode along the four sides of the smaller inner square, and then along the four sines of the larger exter nal square, and inspected the troops. This done, their Majesties alighted from their horses; and attended divine service in the tent. Daring mass, the German Hymn was sung, by • all the troops, accoanatnied with music ; an.' after mass, the . Bettediction was pronounced. The Monarchs then remounted their horses, and stationed themselves on the rising ground near the New Gate, where the troops filed off before them ; on which they returned through. th`e City Gate into the . City. OcT.3. The Review of the Artillery,which should lave' been held last Sunday, but was prevented by the rainy' weather, took place to-day. Their Majesties the Empresses , of Austria and Russia, with their illustrious Consorts ; their Imperial Highnesses the Duchessesof Ohlenburgh and Wei mar, with their Majesties the Kings of Denmark and Prussia; their Majesties the Kings of Bava -ria and Wurtenhurgh ; their Imperial tlighnesses the Crown Prince and the Archdukes Charles and Palatine, togethzr with the other Archdukes, Aus trian and Foreign Generals and Staff-officers,. re-' paired at ten o'clock in the moraing to the place Where the manoeuvres were to be performed.— They were very simple. A battery was dismount ed ; the artillery, in advancing, fired at various distances, with ball, at a mark ; and the evolu. tarns of the horse-artillery concluded the whole. About two o'clock, the Sovereigns, with their suite, returned to the Imperial Palace. It is said that manoeuvres of the artillery, on a larger scale; will take place on the seventh instant. The great Court Rivolto given yesterday afford ed a -spectacle truly unique, from the character of grandeur and magnificence which it presented. It svnukl scarcely be possible to find another place like that in which this fête was held, where from 10 to 12,000 persons might miare unobstructed in three saloons, connected by galleries and flights of .stairs. The interior arrangements and deeora tioni were equally" rich and tasteful. The pas sage 'leading from the apartments of tile. lmperial, Palace to the saloons was brilliantly li.;hted, adorn ed with towers and foliage, as was also the smaller saloon adjoining to it, which resembled a fairy grove. An alley of orange trees led to the great, saloon, from which the truly magic prospect of the imperial riding-school beyond a double •flight of steps met the eye. This noble edifice, eele- brated as a master-piece of architecture, was fitted up for a hall-room. O❑ the ground of the purest white, were attached , ornaments in blue and silver, the brilliancy.of which was won- derfully heightened by the light or from five to fiX thousand MAX candles. The movement of the company, all superbly dressed, and a powerful orchestra of more than 100 performers, completed the magical effect of the whole, which it is im- possible to describe. After ten o'clock the Sove- reigns and distinguished personages repaired in couples to the 4aloon ; flourishes of drums and trumpets announced their arrival. The Emperor or Russia opened the procession with the Em- press-of Austria ; then followed the Emperor of Austria wi:b the Empress of Russia, the king of Dentuatk with► the Archduchess Beatrix, the King of Prussia with the Queen of Bavaria, the King of Bavaria ‘vith the Duchess of Oldenburg, &c.— After these illustrious personages had paraded se- so2ral times through the three saloon', they were pleased to attend a little ballet of masked children in the Riding-house. When this was over, they strolled singly through the saloons till past mid night. The ri'te lasted till towards morning, and ail hinds of refreshment were served in the great est profusion the whole night. By direction of, his Imperial Majesty, the grand Concert in the Ricing-house is deferred till the even ' ,d o t; S un d a y the 16th instant.—The public i'Gte in theAugarten not take place to-mor- but, if th e weat h er row, as was announced ; prove favourable, on Thursday the 6th.. THE PRINCESS OF WALES AT STItASBURG. The public prints give the following under the -date of Strasburgh, Sept. 20 : " Last Thursday the * Princess of Wales at tended .a grand muster of the troops bare, which was held in honour of her, at the Polygon, by the Duke of Valmy,„and with which she seemed much pleased: She cceptea an in vitation - to dinner front Madame Frank,' principal partner in one of the first commercial houses in this city, at which 'the members of the highest authorities were also present. She afterwards attended a ball given in honour of her by the same lady, and tvhere she met all the fashionables of the place. She her self task part in the ball, and danced without in termission till three o'clock in the morning. In return for the civilities shewn her, she gave a grand dinner in the English style at her inn, to which the Marshal, the Generals, and the highest Civil Officers, Were invited ; but, besides the Princess, only three ladies,—her own Lady in Waiting, the Duke of Valmy's niece, an" 1 1. Madame Frank, were present: On the 16th she attended Talma's first appearance in the cha r ratter of4lanlius, which is considered by connois- , seurs as his master-piece. He obtained unquali fied applause front the Princess, as well as from the numerous audience. On the I;th, at noon, the Princess" quitted this city, leaving behind at her departure prOofs of her liberality; and pro ceeded that day to Colmar. On the 18th.she ar rived at Basle. Her apartments at the inn, called Zion Geist, were occupied the very same evening by Prince Talleyrand, who, oil the 18th, had a long conversation with the Duke of Vainly, rer ceived the Chief Authorities, attended the parade, and about . noOn set out foi' Vienna '7 FRENCH PAPERS. - Pam, 13.--The proposition NVIliCh has been made to establish provincial states in the German States meets : with much opposition amongst some of the Sovereigns of the South of Germany. The Emperor of Austria does not appear equally persuaded with the Pope of the necessity to recall the Jesuits. The Holy Father has made fruitless efforts to obtain their reestablish- ment in the Austrian States.—His Imperial Ma-, jesty las energetically refused them. IVe are also assured that the Court of Rome has demanded that ecclesiastical affairs should be reLinstated.in ~•. •• Adstria on the same footing as they were on the accession of Joseph 11. to the throne, and that the Emperor has also rejected this demand.

FRONTIERS OF AUSTRIA, OCT. 2.—Prince Met . ternich is, it is said, charged to regulate the ge neral interviews between the Ministers Plenipo tentiaries who attend the Congress. In spite of all thiit has been advanced, it appears certain that the Plenipotentiaries of Prance, Spain,. and some other Powers, particularly those of the Kings 'of Europe, will take a part at these confe rences. They 'speak of a made 'of discussion adopted on account of various objects which are of a nature to be regulated previously—they ought not to be treated but successively. We are assured, that the projects adjusted in the conferences with Prince Metternich, will be communicated in writing s to the other. Plenipoten -. . n t laes, and that these will be sent back to Prince . .letternich, with their s remarks in writing: FUNDS. 5 per Cants. 74 f. 70c.--Actions of the Bank, 1197 f. 50 c. AMERICAN PAPERS. The American rapers . furnish some additional ,particulars of the late military events. - Of the 'flight of MAorsom, the New York Gazette of Sept. 1, gives the following account : " Jacob Barker, of this city, and an intimate friend of the President, in getting on with the Loan, was at Washington whe►l the enemy made an attack upon it, And at the request of the President handed Mrs. Madison into her carriage. In a few minutes after the President followed, leaving the Pa lace to the care of his friend Barker, telling him to save souse of the pictures and plate, if he could; but little was saved, as the President's House and the Capitol were soon after in flames. The Navy-yard and stores were burned by order of the Secretary at War. All the Public Offices were remov ed some days previuns to the attack. The different Secreta ries are at Montgomery Court-House, ot► their *ay tuFre derickstown; Lancaster is thought of for the meeting of Congress, and also for the permanent residence hereafter 'of the President." Our letters advert to some changes as probable in the Executive Functionaries. /f illr. Madison resigned, he will not be succeeded by Ali'. Rufus King, as was mentioned, but Mr, Eit , ridge Gerry. , . The Vice President nitist iaitr ascend the Chair. Mr. Camel, Who is Secretary to the Treasury dur ing the absence of Mr. Gallatin, is to - retire, and the duties arc to be fulfilled by Mr. Chaves Mr. _Jones, should he witkdraW from the Admiralty, we are told, will resign in favour of Mr. Rufus King. Some of the Correspondents suppose that the retreat of General Armstrong will sufficiently appease the public indignation, and that no other -variation will be made in the conductors of .the principal departments of the Government..

AMERICAN ARMY DEFEATED NEAR BALTIMORE- GENERAL ROSS KILLED-LRE-EMBARKATION OF THE tXPEDITION. Dispatches from America reached DoWning- Street and the Admiralty this, morning, at two o'clock, and will (we believe) by published this evening, in a Supplementaiy, or Eitraordinaty, Ga zette. ID the mean time, and while waiting the result of further inquiries, we hasten to meet the anxiety of the public with' the following summary of such facts as have Come Co our knowledge Our gallant little Army, after re-embarking from the visitation to Washington, proceeded up' the Chesapeake against Baltimore, and again effected, a landing upon the American Continent. They advanced till in the 'vicinity of that City, where they were met by an enemy's force, amount-- ing to 12,000 men. Our division consisted of about 4000. A battle ensued, in which the adversary was defeated, with a loss of 1000 men, and the victorious -British would have performed the ex ploit of Washington over again at Baltithore, had it not been for the lamented death of their gal- Jant Chief, Major-General Ross, who. was killed after nobly leading his troops to the glory which he realized fur them and his country, but unhappily has not lived to participate. The fall of a Com mander is almost ever a fatal blow to future successful operations. GCDeral WINDER and the remains of ARMSTRONG'S force coming up. to reinforce the Enemy ; our loss, in killed and wounded, amounting to about three hundred ; 'and various other circumstances im pressing themselves on the mind of General Ross's successor, it was determined not to push on to Baltiniore, but to re-embark the troops for other services. This was effected. ,without loss; . and if any proof were wanted that the above is a correct , view of the matter, it is to be found in the fact of there being no missing; in the list of casualties of our Army. The Officer who brought the Dispatches has gone to apprize Mrs. Ross of the fatal event which has deprived her of a heroic husband. The taking of Alexandria, a commercial point of view, from the immensity of the stores, mer chandize, &c. found in that city, is represented as being of even greater importance than the pre eeding Expedition to Washington. SUN OFFICE, ONK O'CLOCK. Since writing the above, we have received the following, which may be considered asVicial : " Captain CROFTON of the Navy arrived early this morning with dispatches from Sir A. COCH..
