According to accounts which are worthy of cre-
dit, the meeting of the Allied Sovereigns at
Ai:-
la-Chspelte will not take place before the last
fortuight of the mouth of September. The liana-
lion of guards lately orgauised to do duty about
the Sovereigns, will not arrive tiH the lath of Sep-
tember, instead of the 6th, as had been stated.

Mr. Rothschild, the Blinker of Paris, will go to
Aix-la-Chapelle at the same time as the London
Banker, Mr. Baring.
!FRANKFORT, AU.GLIT
On account of the Congress. the Diet will have
no intention, and the Session will continue without
interruption. It is believed that the Emperor of
Atmlria will arrive here in a Few days, with a suite
of 113 persons ; he will retitle in the Palace of Tour
and Taxes, where the President of the Diet bees,
and where the sittings are held. Hence the Mo-
narch will go to Miyake. and to the waters at
Wisbaden, till the beginoing of September.

FROM THE MAINS, AUGUST 4.

In the journal called the Zeit:chorine*. we
find the following passage reenacting the Congress
of `.•vereigns at Aix-la•Chapelle :—.

" The intended martin of the Allied Sovereigns is now
the thief subject of political speculation. It is affirmed
that the Sacred Alliance is ripe for a more intimate union of
the European Powers, and tint a kind of Republic between
the Independent Powers will be formed. This is said to be
• favourite plan of the Emperor Alexander, and is the same
an was once entertained by Henry IV. of France. It was
bromeht forward again (if we mistake not) at the close of the
last ceutary, anti this ies a very sensible and rrmarkshle
work, called The C'oemeopeliticak Schiraeh, which wan
published at Vienna, and immediately suppressed, anti
of which we saw a copy about ten years ago, as far ns we
can recollect. The system proposed was, all the indepen-
deist European States were to furor a Confederation, at
the head of which the Monarchs of Greet fititain,
Austria, Frances and Russia, were to be placed by
tunes, by election, for a certain time (we tr, here three
years). The book treated also of the excess of popu-

FRIDAY, AUGUST 41, 1818.

We do set leant that soy Court Circular of the
state of her MAJESTY'S lwalth was issued yester.
day. It is therefore presumed that her MAJCITY'S
cuuralescruce continues.

It is stated in a Treasury Journal of last night,
that Lord C•seutitx•au will set off in the first
wreck of September, to atteed the Congress at
Aix-la-Chapelle. This is • very shrewd guess.—
The Paris Papers state, that the Congress will meet
about the middle of September. Lord CASTLE.
RBAGH may, therefore, be expected to be stirring in
the first week of that month. We find the Tres-
•ury Journals of late no better informed than their
neighbours, even in State affairs. The same Paper
adds, that his Lordship is the wisest, the great-
est, and the ablest Statesman the world ever saw.
King Sot.ostott, in comparison with him, was a
perfect fool !! !

Sunday being the anniversary of the Assumption
of the A'irgin, it was observed as a strict holiday in
Prance sod no Journals were printed in Paris on
that day. Those of Monday, which have been re-
ceived, bear also the date of tht preceding day.

A Flanders Mint has arrived, with Papers
from Brussels to tbe 16th instant. The Congress
of Sovereigns is not expected to meet at Aix-Is.
Chapelle until the middle of September. Mr.
Itoviscnturr and Mr. BAILING, the Financial Su.
sereigo*, a►e expected in that city about the same
time.

very calmly determine that the point must mine
under the consideretion of the approaching Con-

saute curs, of politician, would be equally satisfied,
were the Sovereigns of the Continent to take upon
themselves the Nat of regulating the internal affairs
of this and tivry other country in Europe.

!strew!'" a very large and important class of our
people, affecting the existence of our staple maim-
factories, it is much to be regretted that his Ma-
jesty's Ministers have not determined upon calling
together tlw National Representatives. Unfortu-
' widely we have of late years been so much in the
habit of looking to the decisions of Continental
Cabinets fur ordering the destinies of the world, that
now, when our own immediate interests are deeply
implicated, the people of England are taught to
look with anxiety to the meeting of certain Puten.
tate., that they may thence learn what litie of policy
this country is to adopt. ft would, no doubt,

under every circumstance, be de'sirable that the
British Cabinet should maintain • good under-
standing with the Powers of the Continent; but we
conceive that the interests of this country would be
much more effectually secured were our Ministers
tq refer the consideration of them to Parliament,
rather than to a Comatose of Kings and Ministers.
Ti. such an assembly. we 'may presume, from the
political aspect of Europe, that the Continental
Powers have, fur the most part, a community of
interests, as distinguished from those of Great
Britrio ; and 54 io such an assembly the repre.
sentative of the latter can have but one vote, we
may fairly conclude, that, on many occasions, our
arms sod treasure must be directed to be employed
in pursuits not sanctioned by the actual sentiments
of our Miuisters. That something similar to this
was determined in the Congress of Vienna with
respect to Norway, Poland, Genoa, aud Venice, we
have little doubt ; and that a determination no less
hostile to British interests, and no less grating to
humanity, will be formed at the Congress of Aix•
lu-Chapelle with respect to the Spanish Colonies of
America, there is every reason to apprehend.
Strengthened by this assurance, the friends of
the Spanish Government industriously circulate
that the Potentates of Europe will be occupied with
the affairs of that monarchy, as far as they relate
to the disputes between Spain and Portugal, be-
tween Spin and the United States of America,
and between Spain and her Colonies. In the
multiplicity and variety of these affairs, it so
happens that the interests and character of Great
Britain al* seriously involved ; and will it be en-
dured by the Parliament and the people, that
concert's so vital should be referred solely and ex-
clusiVely to the fiat of a foreign assembly ? Shall
the emperor of RlM** who hes so lately proved
his hostility to this eothitry, by imposing • prohibi-
tory duty upon our martfoctures, be permitted to
decide upon the fate of our American commerce ?
This Sovereign has, by his affectation of magna-
nimity, thereby ,leaking designs the most anibi-
tious, and most dangerous to the welfare of Europe,
succeeded in deceiving many of the politicians of the
Continent with regard to his real character ; nor is
he without his dupes in the Cabinet of Eliglind.
These strive to make hi& their prototype, but in
their zeal of imitation, they have unfortunately
overlooked one point of his character, and forgot
that in his magnanimity he never failed to advance
his own power at the expense of others. The uteri.
fire of the British trade with South America, ►en-
dering Great Britain perhaps the instrument of her
own degradation, would prove a master-piece of
art, and be a very profitable exercise of his osten-
tatious quality.

It is understood that Lord CASTLEREAGH will
attend the approaching Congress to protect, tti we
shall seriously be told, the interests of Great
Britain. His country would be satisfied were his
Lordship to maintain them in her native Parliament,
A Congress of Kings is not the scene for discuss.
ing the interests of Great Britain. If the emer-
gency he such as to require discussion, let Polio.
ment be summoned ; let Ministers lay the state of
the country and of her foreign relations fairly before
the Representatives of the People, and no fears
need be entertained but that the result will be as
wise, u virtuous, and as likely to be effectually en-
forced ar if the Sovereigns of the Continent had
suet in Council.

It was wisely Orovlded by ittar ancestors, in frama
log the British Coedbatik. that the Sovereign
should not by his owl immediate set bind himself
or his people to any object of fdreign policy. It
was thereby contemplated that the people should,
in the responsibility of Ministers, have some eetd-
rity against the dangerous Confederations of Kings,
and that no measure of importance should be con-
cluded without the sanction of Parliament. This
saved us front sin immediate participation in the
Unholy Allunerei but the provision is deprived ails
utility if Ministers be permitted to bind the coun-
try at their own discretion, and to employ its anus
mid treasures by their own untianctioned act. True
it is that they are subsequesitly. liable to censure
and punishment from Parliament; hut, in the menu
time, the evil will have been committed, the in-
terests of the country sacrificed, and het character
tainted by the indiscretions of her Rulers.

tun's, tarter hoeing, on the same day, inspected
