PARIS PAPERS.

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-

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.

To ,preveut frauds asnoogst the iniuserous valets

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

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. In the sitting of the 16th, the
Grand Council was to discuss the conditions of this
admission. Every thing now anaounces that the
Canton of Solway, is about to follow this example.

VALIIICIINNIS, IRPT. 27.
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. This
