FOR THE SUN.

Ma. EDITOR,—As the meeting of the Sove-
reigns, now ahout to be held at Aix-la-Chapelle,
has attracted public notice to that city, a alight
sketch of it may be acceptable to your Readers.
Air-la-Chapelle has claim to great abtignity,
having been mentioned by Caesar and Tacitus,
and, probably, first drew attention by its thermal
springs, which hive been much celebrated in all
ages within our knowledge. Front these it was
substantively called Aqua, with different genitive
cases annexed, as circumstances called for them.
The French gave it the name of Aix, to which
was added la-Chapee, from a chapel built there
by Charlemagne, %vb.:, made that city his fa-
vourite residence. Several Councils and Synods
hare been held, and two Treaties of Peace con-
cluded there ; that of 1668, between Lewis the
Fourteenth and Charles the Second of Spain ;
e'nd that of 1748, for the pacification of Eutope.
At present it is annexed, with certain territories,
to the dominion of Prussia.

who wrote in 1734, makes the number
of houses between 2,400 and '2,500, and the in-
habitants about ten titws as many. In 1807 the
i*opulation was estimated at more than 27,000 ;
when 1 was there in the autumn of 1.815,
the city had not the apilearalice of being so large
or so well peopled. Its walls and ramparts were
then in much decay. The revenue in ISO?, was
I.ated between 150,000 and 160,000 francs, or
about 70 01., taking a franc at eleven pence,
which k there its value.

The town lies iu a hollow or valley, surround-
el by an agreeably diversified country, though
woodsseem to predominate. The climate is un-
steady., and rain is frequent. Spring, in general,
is said to be tardy in its advance, summer short,
autumn iong and agreeable, and winter tedious;
the air is not remarkable for salubrity, nor the
people for loiter life.
That Charlemagne was the (amlet of the city
is sufficiently disproved; but his title to being its
restorer is unquestioned. This Mouarch died in
814, and left 00. directions concerning his inter-
meta. Where his remains should be deposited was,
however, obvious ; and they were placed in the
vaolt of the present cathedral, which was begun
by him in 796, and dedicated to the Virgin Mary
by Pope Lemi the Third, in 804. with the cere-
monious splendor of that time. Front this build-
ing, then called a chapel, as beforeementiooed,
..../ix•la-Cilapelte is derived.
titlly, in his history of France, metoions the
sepulture of Charletwagne as of extraordinary
magnificence and expellee. The church is also
described by him with pomp, but not with justice.
What reutaios Of it, however, is not common in
the architecture. The es.teriov has nothing curi-
ous, being blocked tip by ()wises, .and otherwise
kept from view. WHIM, it presents au inner
and cotter octagon, with the addition Of a small
chancel. The central octaeon is divided by eight
pillars, and may he called the nave; tlal
target• oettgoo embraces this every nsy,
except the dmed, and imay be term-
ed tic ;iisle• Immediately above this aisle is
y, with it in shape arid
width, opening 00 the nave, and divided by eight
pillars above! e.:••vose below. The tailing of the
g4ltery is divided into comparttnents, six of which
are decorated witis tolerable paintings ; an organ
occupies the oesvteth division of th.e gallery, and
the eighth is the belfry. Above the nave is a
rich dome, front which is suspended a large rude
crown of gilt copper: this hangs a little above
the ilead, awl spreads itself over an obloog marble
slab, inserted in the floor, on which CanDlo
Illoeno is siotply inscribed brass letters. This
slab is in the place of the ancient and celebrated
monoment of Charlemagne, which was taker' to
the Museum at Paris in the time of the Itevolu-
tioit ; probably it is now restored. The princi-
pal altar has nothiug attractive. There are many
relics highly valued, and shown by a priest with
parade. Oar guide whispered, with sanctified
mystery, the fee of the exhibitor to be three
francs, and that of Eris assistant one. The doors
of a cabinet in the vestry were accidentally open,
tool had on their inside some small highly finished
painting : I could not learn the 'object or the
toaster, but I mention it as worthy of attention.'
There are several chapels dispersed in the aisle, as
osiod, awl, as usual, numerous votive offerings to
each, indicative of the power or influence of the
saints to whom they are dedicated. Among the
many objects of piety in this church is a wooden
case, carefully locked, said to contain the chair
of the infant Christ : it is placed on tivo sup-
porters, about four feet high, and separated from
each other to make a passage. Om guide assured
us, with much siguificant confidence, that who-
ever had weakoess, or other cant plaint, in the
back, would be instantly cured by passing between
the supporters, if he had faith. This poor fel-
low had himself what is called a broken back,
and, as we by involuntary impulse turned to look
on him, which he mistook for distrust, he ex-
claimed voila to pretive! pointing, at the same
time, to votive offerings that hung round. Poor
man, he bad the appearance of possessing atm-
A•ieut faith,• and 1 ant convioced he was sincere in
all lie uttered. Permit the to observe here, that
most of the guides 1 had occasion to employ were
ignorant and superstitions; and 1 often had occa-
sion to lament the injury they du eo the character
-of their different places of resieeoce, as well as
to religion ; for travellers too frequently judge of
:foreign society with haste, by which justice is
.greatly confounded with error. Intelligent guides
'might even be anointed by Municipalities, and
their fees prescribed. t speak with gratitude of
,the people of die Cott4inent in general; where I
liave oavelled they are polite, and often highly
liberal, and I have received occasional attention
:and information from priests in churches, which
was mat Led with urbanity mid benevolence.
The Hotel de Ville is in the Grande Place, and
5s said to have heel) constructed in 1353. The
• front bad several statues of Emperors crowned at
.Aix-la-Chapelle. It is surmounted by two towers,
CZIC of which contains the clock and belfry, front
eelooice alarms are sounded wheo occessatly% he
c.:o2c!..i.s.said to corgaiu the. al.chiv.‘:s of the c ry,

and a watchman is stationed there; at night, to
announce the hour. These towers differ front
each other in bulk and height, and. though not
of the same design, are in the style called mo-
restle ; a style not uncommon where the house
of Spain had power for considerable time ; of
which the Grande Place at Brussels is a curious
example. There is a good stair-case to the Ho-
tel de Ville, and above is a large room of audience,
richly painted, in fresco, in historical and other
subjects. This 'gout is entered by several doors,
intended originally to prevent difficulties, arising
from contention in precedence. The. Courts of
Justice were held in different parts of this lutild-
ing. in the ascent to the chamber of audience
is a large picture, said to be by Vandyke, but it
is (Wally Unworthy of that Master.
ln front of the Matson de Ville, and about the
middle of the Grande Place, is a fountain of cold
water, erected io 1:353. Though large and cum-
brous it is a Credit to that age. A large stone basil'
forms the base, from which rises a quadrattgolar
pillar, that supports a second basin, which is
copper ; over this another pilaf rises, and serves
as pedestal to a pedestrian statue of Charlemagne
in bronze. This figure holds a ,velure in one
and a globe in the other; the head is crown-
ed, and a sword hangs at the side. It was carried
to Paris in 179-1, but so much %vas the loss of it
regretted by the inhabitants that it teas restored,
and, replaced iu 15. The water plays through
several pipes from the pedestal, linto the copper
basil', from whence it falls into that of stute.—
Eagles are introduced as part of the general de-
The water is conveniently managed for
public use, aud the whole is inclosed by iron
railing.
There is a small poor Theatre at Aix-la-Cha-
pelle; but no regular company of actors.
The most frequented part of the city is the
Comphausbasi. Here arc the usual places of pub-
lic amusement ; such as the old and Bev.' I:CdOtitt!,
or assembly-rooms, where gaming has been the
principal employment, during the season of the
waters, which is front May to November. These
places have very little worth notice. Ou the
whole the toner contains nothing that can detain
the traveller who has seen other places of Similar
resort.

There are above forty baths at Aix-la-Chapelle,
each of which can contain several petsotts at a
rime; the price of bathing diffets at different
baths, but is no where dear ; a bath is supported
solely for the use of the poor. There are seven
or eight hotels connected with these baths, in
aohich there is convenient lodging, &e. 1 shall
not trouble you with the analyses and tempera- '
tunes of r %via.' their me-
dical uses, which have beta so often .deseribed in
many scientific books.
There are manufactures carried on in Aix-It-
Chapelle, and its neighbourhood, that are not in-
considerable ; some of these are woollen of dif-
fereot classes. 1 hare seen some very hoe, but
dear. These are said to have employed in 1807,
25,000 hands, and to have amounted in value to
8,000,000 francs, or about .33ii,fiti61. The needle
manufactories employed between 501 k atid 6000
persons at the saute time, and the produce was
Vait.heti xt 00,000 francs., or *hart 27,500/. This
manufacture is allows- cl to be very inferior to
English needles. There are also manufactures of
pins.
The immediate neighbourhood of Aix-la-Cha-
pelle is highly pleasing. The Lausherg or Belle-
Vile (the largest of some sandy nionotains just
outside the town) is very elevated, and commands
a magnificent view, to a considerable extent,
every way. A rich undulating country, touch
wooded, interspersed with costotry houses and •
cottages, and apparently well peopled, is directly
within view, and the town is looked down on as
at abase of the mountain. 1' he road to the
top it windiug, and sufficiently good for carriages.
A house for rural entertainment, tastefully built,
and very agreeably placed, is high on the side of
the mountain. On the summit is a stunt obelisk,
erected in 1807, which, under the pretence of
being dedicated to Science, was, more truly, -con-
secrated to chat extraordinary man who (level' 10• St
an opportunity of plantiog his 1121 Me. The east
side is thus inscribed,—.4 Napoleon le Grand,
premier Empereur des Francais et Rui d' Italie. The
other 961C3 have long astronomical inscriptions.
The Prussians displayed considerable forbearance
in pettnitting this obelisk to remain uninjured.
Jiorsette, an agreeable village about a =Lie
from Aix-la-Chapelle, is built on the side and
summit of a hill; it has cold and warm mineral
springs, and is much resorted to, being cheaper
than the city. At Om entrance of this village is
a large open spring, encompassed by it brick cy•
liodrical bonding, and o hie') has the appearance
of ebullition, obough winch below boiling tempt:-
rature; it is, however, asserted to be sufficiently
hot to dress eggs. Other skirts of Aix•la-Glot-
pelle furnish several pleasing promenades.
After admitting that urbanity is general in most
parts of the Continent, usatsily visited by the
English, candour obliges me to confess that po•
liteness appeared to lessen Asetween Brussels and
Aix-la-Chapelle ; yet l *would not be understood
to mean that the people are deficient in necossary
attention, when they ase themselves treated with
proper respect. I thought the police of Aix-la- •
Chapelle unusually rigid, and the officers not too
complaisant, in ISIS ; but, as travellers blioVild
make the best of occurrences as they arise, I had
no doubt that strictness, at least, was useful, if
not necessary, at that moment. It scats then, fine
coatinnes in several places to be, the fashion to
speak disadvantageously of the Prussians, parti-
cularly of their military ; but I must take this
opportunity of saying, that 1 was in Brussels the
whole time that detachments of the Prussian army
were sourrchitig through that place, on their return
from France, and parties of different arms were
qtrarteved where I lodged; yet, though their very
name appeared to produce terror, and though
the weather was severe, in cold and raiu, the men
whom 1 had an opportunity of judging by con-
ducted themselves with patience, were contented
with the provisions they rectived,.and harmless and
quiet under privations, end sometimes incivility.
A want of system in sonic of the official depart-
ments certaiuly occasioned partial disorder and dis-
content, told operated .tigainst both parties; but 1
thought, and thall ever think it hard, that the
, brave soldiea of the Prussian army should fader,

and religious fanatics, who had so tormented it

A few months elapse ; the Battle of Waterloo is
gained. The moment it is known at. Marseilles
the good Royalists rise en masse, to murder their
adversaries, who had merely bestowed on them
the smile ofcontempt. The Mamelukes were mur-
dered ; the garrison was attacked—it defended itself;
a person was sent to say, that if it would quietly
retire with its arms and baggage, it should be
suffered to depart : this it agreed to. A second
message came, it must depart without ar►sis or
baggage ; the soldiers refused ; the officers per-
suaded them there was no danger, as the Gem-
d'armerie would protect their retreat. They left
the Garrison. The mob fired on them, the Goa-.
d'artnerie looking coolly on ; all the Garrison was
murdered, officers and men, save three or four,
who escaped by leaping over the barrack walls,
and getting into the Country. Marshal BRUNS,
one of the best, the mildest, and most humane of
men, was basely assassinated. The massacres of
Nismes succeeded those of Marseilles. The
National Guard of both places distinguished itself
by furiously heading the murderers. and, amidst
the cries of Vice le Roi, burning, pillaging, and
massacreing. NVith all the violence of furies they
i insulted their victims, and put them to death in
lingering torments. In the mouth of one of the
persons they had murdered, they stuck a pipe,
and found it cause for laughter ; a drummer
boasted that he gave the turn of the key with his
sabre in the body of an unfortunate Officer who
had concealed himself. General LAGARDE is one
of upwards of 200 murdered at Nismes (their
only crime was being PROTESTANTS) ; his assassin
is brought to Trial, the proofs are positive, but
he is acquitted. TRESTAILLONS, who boasts of
having dispatched, with his Troop, above a
hundred Heretics and Buonapartists,—TßESTAlL.
LONS is arrested, sent laden with irons to Mont-
pellier, and thence to Lyons ; is there acquitted,
which some will not wonder at when they recol-
lect that CANUEL was the Military Commandant,
Da CH ABROL the Prefect, De FARGURS the Mayor,
and Da SUTTEE the Provost. He returns to
Nismes ; he if; met by an immense population,
who hail his arrival ; public rejoicings are made.
Songs are composed, of which two lines only will
be a sufficient specimen.

THE STAI LIONS l'ordonne.

Let us spare no one, TRRSTAILLONS ordains
it,' anti, will it be believed, this is a favourite
popular song at Nismes at this day. I will only
add that the troubles at Grenoble, Lyous, &c.
were all fomented and organized by the same class
of men, who pretend exclusively to :he principles
of loyalty and virtue. Call the great mass of the
nation what you please, but the character of
assassins and disturbers of the public peace will
be found exclusively to apperiain to the PURR
ROYALISTS: as they call themselves, or the
Ultras, as they are mildly termed by the rest of
mankind.'

I need add nothing to this frightful picture, ex-
cept the consolatory assurance that, thanks to the
zeal and firm ass of the Minister of Police, these
disot tiers are arrested, their authors under Trial,
and the public tranquillity is secured. Hence the
hatred of the Ultras and their organ, the English
Newspaper, against him ; and it is well known
that had CLNUEL'S last Conspiracy taken effect,
M. de CAzes was for these services to France
to bare been its first victim.

HER - The following is from the
Court Newsman last night :
" About half-past three o'clock, Dr. Motor),
her Majesty's Physician Extraordinary, arrived in
his carriage from London, and had a constilta-
thm with Sir F. Milian, &c. ; and, after remain-
ing in the Palace near an hour, left the Palace,
on his return to London. Viscount and Viscoun-
tess Bulkeley, and Lady Isabella Thynne, were
among the visitors at the Palace. The inquiries
after the state of the Queen were numerous.—
The state of her Majesty has fluctuated within
these few days, and we regret to say, she was nut
so well up to six o'clock, yesterday evening, as
she had been in the morning."

SHIP NEWS.

HURRICANE, ox THE 29TH ULT. NEAR BERMUDA.
Extract of a Letter from Captain LEVY, of the Agnes, from

Jansaira, to his Owner at Liverpool.
" Ship Agnes, at sea, Bth Sept. 1818, in
lat. 34. 44. long. 55. 30.

On 89th August, at 10 o'clock at night, being IS miles to
the southward, and about 60 to the eastward of the island of
Bermuda, we experienced a most dreadful hurricane. It
commenced from E. S. E., veered round from S. S. W. and
S. W., and from that to the West, and continued until 2 r. u.
on the 3Uth, with the greatest fury. After that time it began
to abate. The vessel was down on her side, deck under
water, and remained so for a considerable time, until re-
lieved by the head of the mainmast going and carrying away
all the topmasts, and soon after the mainmast went 4 feet
from the deck: unfortunately the mast hung by some rope,
and we could not get to cut for some time ; it got under the
quar►er, started the quarter piece, bloke in the dead lights,
and nearly unshipped the rudder. By this accident a qii:ai-
tity of water got into the cabin and rooms in which our bread
and other stores were stowed, and I am sorry to say they are all
damaged. When the hurricane abated, I cannot describe my
feelings. Not 24 hours previous the ship was in complete
order, and in want of nothing; and in su short a time to be
deprived of every thing. We secured the fore and mizen
masts, but the tops and cross trees were broken ; neither
sails, yards, or rigging left that were above deck, with the
exception of the fore and cross jack-yards. When it became
moderate, I examined the ship well, and found she had not re-
ceived any injury in the hull, therefore resolved to proceed
on our passage. Ido not think this violent storm extended
so far to the Northward as must of the ships would be which
sailed at the same time, as they went through the Gulf the
second day."

DEAL, SEPT. 29.—Sailrd this morning thr Florida sloop of
war, or. a cruize to thr Northward.

Poarsmourn, Aarr.29.—Arrived the Killingbeek, Barnea,
from London, for Antigua; and Restitution, —, from
ITniahro', for Gibraltar. Remain hit Majesty's ships Tartar,
Phaeton, and Iphi;zenia. Sailed the Thomas, —, for the
Cape of Good Hope; and Coromandel store•ship, for --.

ing thrown part of her cargo overboard. Sailed the Thalia,
Herbert, for Calcutta.

LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 28.—The Dorothy, Howard, from Bom-
bay, sailed 14th Say; spoke 23d August, in lat. de. N. long.

RAM OATEN SEPT. 29.—The wind haring got to the E. S. E.
most of the trade hound westward sailed this tide.

SHEERNESS, SEPT. 49.—Sailed the Sorry, Raine, fur New
South Wales, with convicts.
NORTH SHIELDS, SEPT. 97.—Yesterday the Hammon, of
Hartley, coal laden, in going to sea, struck on the Bar, which
caused her to make so much water that she was obliged to put
back ; and this day the Malvina, Nicholson, of London, from
Riga to Topsham, put into this Harbour in a leaky state,
having on her passage sprung a-leak, and with great difficulty
kept from bring water logged.

BREAKwATER —The equinoctird galeS have Corn-
menced, and on the 21st and 23(1 instant they
proved extraordinarily violent from the south-
ward and westward, which occasioned an heavy
pressure of the sea against the Breakwater,—
Notwitstanding the fury of the waves, not a single
stone of the finished part of this structure has been
injured or disph►ced. The raising of the western
arm already begins to have the most beneficial in-
fluence on the anchorage, particularly trom half
ebb to half flood.—(Plymouth Paper.)

EMIGHATIONT.—Workmen in the iron and coal
works in Monmouthshi4e, and from the neigh-
bourhood of Merthyr, have recently taken their
departure for America, and left their wives
nd fatuities behind them. An instance of this
sort occurred a few days since, in the parish
of Bianeau, on which is thrown, in consequence,
the burden of providing for a woman end her five
children. The husband wrote a letter to his wife
from Liverpool, just as he was about to
embark, stating that the impossibility of his main-
taining her and their family in this country upon
the produce of his labour, had compelled him un-
willingly to desert them.

CORN-EXCITANGE, SEPT. 30.—We have had a
few fresh arrivals since Monday, but there was
very little business doing, a nut the prices this
morning both in Wheat and Oats are nominally
the same ; Barley is very dull ; in Peas and
Beans there is no alteration.

Killing a Child by Spirituous Liquors.
Ma LUO HOU OH-STREET.—Eleanor Bryan was charged with
murder, in causing the death of a girl named Duyan, between
five and six years old, by spirituous liquors.
It appeared in evidence that the pi isoner lodged in the same
house with the mother of the child, and on Monday morning,
during the temporary absence of the mother, the prisoner, who
is much addicted to drinking, took the child out with her, and
perambulated St. Giles's. She acknowledged that she had
given her two glasses of gin and a glass of peppermint, be-
sides which she took part of two pots of porter. On the child
hying brought home she felt into a sound sleep, which was
succeeded hy fits in the evening and, which caused her death.
The confession of the prisoner was corroborated by a land-
lord in St. Giles's, where the first glass of gin was had. He
.proved that he served the gin, and he saw the prisoner give
it to the child. He supposed that she only meant the girl to
taste it, but she emptied the glass.
The evidence of the Surgeon went to prove that the child
died by excess of drink, and prisoner was remanded until
Friday.--A Coroner's Inquest was to sit on the body of the
child this day.

A pitched battle was, we understand, intended
to have been fought on the morning of Sunday
last, in a field near the Crown public-house,
IVaiham-green, in the parish of Fulham.—This
brutal exhibition was prevented by the timely
and spirited interference of a Magistrate from
Hammersmith. Such an insolent profanation,
we had thought, could hardly have been contem-
plated by those brutes in lont»an shape. We
learn, however, from the same Correspondent, that
prize-fighting often takes place in the fields near
Paddington, on Sunday. After this notification
of the evil, we trust that the Magistrates in the
neighbourhood will no longer sutler it to exist.
