4.—There has been no conference to day. on
account of the indispositioe of the Russian Minister,
Count Cupo &Istria. This being the /i•te-day of the
Emperor of Austria, it was expecte I that he would go
to the Cathedral ('hatch in great state, and that he
would afterwards bull a Ceort, at e hieh all the Fo-
reign Ministers ail the suites of the different Sove-
nigns would be presented ; but this expectation was
disuppninted in both cases by the imlispesition of his
Imperial Majesty. The Dehe of Kent arrived here last
rti:ekt, and was this morning visited by the Emperor
Alexander. Ills ltnvai Highness brine lolged at the
Redoubt, in the most frequented part of the city, a great
crowd collected a nut Alexander when he I:lighted, and
sl:oute Eitiperrur, tile trend; to wilieh they were
trained in the time of Buonaparte. A little before two
o'clock, Loyd Castlereagh waited open his ileyal High-
ness, and off:red hint the use of his carriage to the
load of the King of Prussia, where a grand dinner was
given to the Emperor Alexander and all the Allied
Ministers. The early begun to arrive about half-past
one, and the dinner was over before four. The Empe-
ror of Austria was absent, from the sante indisposition
which prevented lam from s:eing company in the
nornites Besides the Emperor of Rnssia we observed
the arrival of the Duke of Kent. the Duke of Welling-
ton, Len' Castlereagh, the Duke of Richelieu, Prince
Metternich, Prince Harlenherg, Prince Witgenstein,
and several other great political and military charac-
ters A great hail is given by the city to-night, in
honour of the Allied Sovereigns, and Out fete of the
I mpctor of Austria. The Sovereigns and the Minis.
tiers are expected to attend. About n thousatel. tickets
have been distributed, and many claims for admission,
'Kicked 1w most respectful authority, have been rejected,
fawn the impossibility of accommodatiog all the claim-
ants. Prince Augustus, of Prussia, left this place some
time ago, and Madame Recamier three days afterwards.
The sister of the Emperor of Russia, the Princess of
Orange. is expected at the country-house of the Empe-
tor to spend there some days. Among the number of
strangers whom the Congress has attracted to Aix-la-
Chapelle, we observe the celebratel Mr. Owen, of New
Lanark, who has just cone from Frankfurt on the
hlaine. He is come here to present a memorial td the
Allied Sovereigns and Ministers. It is printed in three
differcut languages, in English for Lord Castlereagh,
and in French and Cerman for the other great person-
ages of Congress. lie left the Diet at Frankfurt dis-
cussing the military organisation of Germany, without
receiving any answer to his pacific project, or being
called ales to explain its deals. Whether the Sove-
reigns will choose to adopt it, and place themselves at
the head of villages instead of empires, I shall not pre-
tend to divine ; though my opinion is that Mr. Owen
trill not sucta.:ed better at A ix-la-Charelle in nroselvtis-
ire. their Majesties, than the Quaker did who went to
om to convert the Pope.
OCT. s.—The Doke of Kent left Aix-la-Chapelle this
morning at S o'clock. The question of the evacuation
of France is now talked of in all societies ns decided
As yet the limited net has not been signed, but the sen-
timents of the Ministers and Sovereigns all concur in
the measure, which only now waits their official sanc-
tion. The greatest difficulty in the ulterior arrange-
rut nts, and in the settlement of the securities, will arise,
it is said, on the part of Prussic. This power, it will
be remembered, showed the greatest dissatisfitction at,
the delays that occurred in the eflitir of the private re-
clamations, and probably &teals similar inconveniences
in the payment of the contributions, unless the gee-
ramees shall be altogether unexceptionable. The gene-
nil details which I sent yOll as prospectively those to be
a !opted, are in the main correct, and will meet the
views of till the Powers.

The ball given by the City last night was very hril-
!hint, and will be long mite:Aerial in the annals of the
Redoubt of Aix .la-Chapelle. The houses opposite the
ball riami in this pile of ladhlings were illuminated.
Prussian gendarmes on ti ,!it and hor,:eback attended, to
keep onkr and clear the streets tin the carriages. The.
company begun to arrive at seven o'clock. Evers- car-
riage in the town awl neighlionrhood was put in requi-
sition, and many of them, like our coaches employed
in bringing electors to the poll, returned and In-might
tuecessiye quotas. The Emperor of Russia and King
of Prussia arrived about eight o'clock, with their suites.
'I he Emperor was dressed in a Prussian unitiami. They
were, of course, the princq al objects of attraction dur-
ing their stay, which wio:neurly an hour and a half.—
Nor were they idle spectators of the gaiety of the
scene, or inactive spectacles for the public gaze Their
Imperial and Royal Majesties danced a Polonaise with

arrived in London, on his way to Spain, for the pur-
pose of presenting some complaints against General

failing, to apply filr redress to the Courts of law He
alleges that Morino has defrauded him of 80,000 dol-
lars, and that he has been camp.dled to visit the mo-
ther country from the titter impossibility of obtaining
redress, or the least attention to his representations on
the spot. M Molina brings with bins a farther sum of
80,000 dollars in hard cash, and is accompanied by his
own lawyer, to preside over the requisite proceedings
