AIX•LA-CHAPELLE, OCTOBER 5.
Since the holding of the first conference at his
Highness Prince Hardenberes, in Which the Mi-
nisters of the other Powers legitimated themselves
by producing their credentials, the meetings of
the Ministers take place doily. They are held
alternately at the residence of one of the Ministers
of the three Allied Powers.
Some pretend to know, that the first subject
which has been brought forward is the succession to
Baden, and tfie ditlerknces which have arisen be-
tween 'Letitia and the Grand Duchy of Baden,
respecting the territory of the fetcr Power.

The report is current, that the ei"Tent" re/**

We %we received Paris Papers of Wedneads#
and Thursday. The Arend des lle‘als •f Wee-
ocular contr•dfcts the intelligence it communicated
in its preceding Number respecting the consent of
the Allied Sovereigns to the immediate evacuation
of the French territories. We cam► easily imagine
with what • sense of 'wow any Paris Jourualist
would undertake to contradict a statement so ;rat•
fsing to the feelings of every Frenchman, and so
Battering to the national vanity. It must also be
very grating to any person to confess himself the dupe
of :in impudent forgery, the tool of stock jobbers
and sharpers, while by such • confession alone, in
the ',repent ittnance, can he hope to escape the impu-
tation of being • partner in the freed. This is, no
doulo, a diesgrerstsle dilennno. The Jeered des
Pebods contents itself with saying, " We were too
hasty in announcing as certain the decision of the
Sorereigne, relative to the evacuation of the French
tertinity. True it is, that every day adds to the hopes
of France, but our intelligence (unfortunately)
was rremestate." Such we had anticipated would
stir ticcuerst puldielied in London prove to be,
and in this opinion we were further confirm-
ed, as each successive day since its first appear-
Mite presented lio sccoaut which could. be coo-
sidered as official. Had the decision of the Al-
lied Sovereigns been pronounced on the gd lust.
In favour of the immediate removal of the army of

A Flanders Mail arrived lost night, with Papers
to the 10th instant inclusive. The succession to
the Grand Dischy of Baden is said to have been
the first subject taken into consideration in the con-
ferences at Aix-la-Chopelle. The evacuation of
the French territory, aa having been agreed upon,

East Indio Papers have been received to the 31st
of May. Tt►e Bombay Citterier of May 30, states
that the fortress of Mundlah, on the banks of the
Nerbudda, has fallen to the force under General
MAILSVIALL, without any material loss on the part
of the British. Though th• place was carried by
storm. awl five hundred of the enemy killed, the
entire loss sustained in the attack only amounted
to thirty natives killed and wounded. In regard
to Baaas Row, it was reported that he had thrown
himself into Asseerghur, and that he had attempt.

The Ms trapeport, Lieut. PineHAD, Agent.
strived last week at Portsmobth from Columba, the
Cape of Good Hope, and St. Helena. She took
five companirs of the Royal African Corps front
Sierra Leone to the Cape ; and the 83d regiment
from the Cape to Ceylon, intending to bring home
the 19th regiment of foot. War breaking out with
the Canalises prevented their return. Such is
stated to be the unpropitious state of our affairs
there. that it would. require a very large force to re.
gain even a military possession of the country we
mice had. The Join brought dispatches from Sir
RICHARD KING. who was lying at Trincomalee.
with the Mindex. Orlando. Cenroy, and Bacchus.
The Megiegenne was at the Mauritius; the Tarry

The Cherub, 26, Capt. °sown W. WILLS!,
recently returned from the coast of Africa, come
tinned to cruise ou that station for the prevention
of slave-seeding, until the neer approach of the pe•
►iedicttl rainy season and typhoon'. As she was leave
ing the Gold Coast, she fell In with a ship under
Spsteivh colours, of 200 tons burden, having 45
slaves on board, and a cargo of such articles (guns,
Powder, clothes, &c.) as the African me►chants take
in barter fee slaves; with which, it appeared, she
was ou her way to another port, for the purpose of

• •
completing her tarp of slaves. She monnted four
long 12-pmtudero, and had a crew of3:i men. With
great daring sad tetaerity they opposed the ap-
proach of the (Arndt, both by her gulls and mus-
ketry. The Che►ah took possession of her IP a prize
for bring found slave-trailing north of the Line, in
violation of Treaty between this country and Spain.
She proved to have been formerly his Majesty's
packet Windsor Castle, which was captured by
the Americans ; and although she was under Spa-
nish colours, and pretended to have been fluted
out at Porto Rico, there were evidences of her hav-
ing been manned and victualled at New York : most
part of her crew here Americans. The lateness of
the season prevented the (.'her►cb sending her prize
to Sierra Leone for adjudication ; tlartefore, Capt.
WitLatt took her with him to Port Royal, Tamales;
where, though the case was a mast palpable
instance of violation of Treaty, the Admiralty
Court refused to take cognisance of the matter—
it would appear, from want of instructions upon the
subject generally from the (government at home.
Captain WILLes therefore took his prii:e to the
Havannali for examination, hhere he bad reason to
expect a mixed Commission had been instituted for
the purposes set forth in the Slave-Abolishing
Treaty with Spain ; but none ►uch had been formed
or heard of. He was therefore conitrained (as well
in execution of his public duty, as to prevent any
pritate personal loss that might hereafter arise by
Undue litigation) to put a party of officers and men
on board, sod 'send her to Sierra Leone, fur con-
demnation. This circumstance chews, as would
many others that might be stated, that much yet
reitunas to be done ere the abolition of the Slave
Trade on the coast of Africa will be accomplished.
The Cherub left Port Royal on the 15th of
Aurist, and Havannah on the sth of September.
The Weal operations of the Independents in that
quarter against the Spaniards are of the most
daring add intrepid description : they hid fre-
quently run under the guns of Mara Cootie
to attit•k their enemy. The Spanish ships Were.so
unseaworthy, that, just previous to the Cherub's
sailing, they were all offered for public sale. A
flue schooner, built by the Americans, which the
Spanish Government had bought, was lying at the
Ilavannah; but the Independents had purchased
two others of the Americans, of the same clam, and
previously refused her. The Cherub spoke the
Pique, Captain Mslitu.Aft, off St. Domingo, on
her return to Port Royal, with the Tay's money,
which the Spaniards had at length given up. The
Pelican and Beaver were lying at Port Royal ; the
Sybille was gone to St. Domingo; and the Esk was
Warning from Barbadoes: the other ships of the
squadron were cruising. The Cheri brought a
freight of 400,000 dollars, besides gold dust and
ivory.

The Satellite, 18 guns, Captain JAMES Mutt-
RAY, recently from the Mediterranean, left Malta
on the sth, and Gibraltar on the gOth ult. The
.4l4itta (Sir C. Plumose) was lying at Malts.—
The Myrmidon will return home immediately. The
other ships on the station will wait until they are
relieved. The Satellite came into Portsmouth har-
bour on Saturday morning.

Preparations are making in the stores of the Store-
keeper-General of the army, at Portsmouth. tb re-
ceive the camp equipage and other articles that will
be brought to England by our Army of Occupa-
tion. Such of the regiments as are quartered to
the Westward of Cambray, it is expected will be
embarked at Havre de Grace, and land at Ports-
mouth.

Among the many alterations which will take
place in the reduction of our army, we understand
it is intended that all Brevet Officers shall be pro-
moted to permanent rank, and ha put on the half-
pay list. Captains from the half-pay will be call-
ed in to command the companies which will con-
sequently hare fallen vacant. One battalion of
Sappers and Miners, three battalions of Royal Ar.
tillery, and all the Horse Artillery, excepting two
troop/; Will be ineleded in the reduction.

It may dab perhaps, be generally known, that
no lest than tweaty-uine expeditions have, from
time to time, been prepared iii England, for the
purpose of attempting to discover the North-west
Passer. This certainly dares no very flatieriAig
hopes that the ships now einployed on a similar •
dertaking will be (lofted with success.

garet with much propriety, turned away, in great
agony, from the fire of Mr. KBAN'E eye, when he

as Leidy Alhookh, was graceful in her general
manner. She delivered her part of the dialogue ex-
deedingly well—and, in her opening:speech, ad-
ressed to Allsourth,: in which the duty or a true
soldier is 'tainted out, ,her manner was very ele-
gant and impressive. Jastice Greedy was placed
