" AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, NOV. 17.—The Emperor
f Austria set out from hence this morning with
a numerous suite. His Imperial Majesty proceeds
by Juliets to Cologne ; he will arrive at Munich
the 23d inst.

" The King of Prussia, it is thought, will not
depart before the 19th.

" RAsTADT, Nov. 1.5.----The Duke of Glou-
cester has arrived at Constance. His Royal High-
ness proposes to make the tour of the Lake.
" VIENNA, Nov. I I.—The reports which have
for some time been circulated in several Public
Journals, of pretended steps taken by the Em-
peror of Austria with the view of changing the
place of custody of Buonaparte, ate all absurd
fables, and merit not the least attention."

New York Papers to the 30th ult. arrived this

morning.

(From the Nett, York Commercial Advertiser of the 29th.)
IMPORTANT.—We have it from authority which
we deem next to official, that our differences with
the Court of Madrid ar'e settled. The Floridas
are ours, and our Government is to pay the Ame-
rican claims against Spain.
With due deference to the authority from which
the foregoing is derived, we beg leave to doubt
its truth. We are as satisfied that the Floridas
have not been transferred as Mr. LANZ is that
they have. The extent of what has been done,
we believe, is the renewal of the Spanish Treaty
of 1802. That the Floridas will be ours we have
no doubt, but they are not so at present, at least
we have reason to believe that they are not.—
information of this kind, which goes to make our
Govetmucnt assume the debts of Spain to our
Citizens, may induce speculations among those
who have suffered front Spanish speculations, and
which may be attended with injurious conse-
quences.

NoaroLK, OCT. 24.—(From Martinique.)—
Captain litssELL, who arrived here on Wednes-
day from Port Royal, has favoured us with a file
of Martinique Papers to the 30th Sept. ;—they
give an account of a hurricane experienced at that
Island on the 21st and 22d Sept., which did great
damage both to the shipping in the harbour and
the dwellings on shore. In. a Paper of the 26th

is to Ordinance in the name of the King, which
announces that the exportation of flour and cod-
fish will be allowed, and that of Indian meal, rye,
flour, and rice, will be suspended until further
orders. It, had been very sickly in the Torts of
Martinique.

will give the following notice publicity.

Extract of a Letter from New Orleans, dated the 20th Sep-

tember, 1818.

" The yellow fever prevails, but by no meads formidable.
We have had frequent rains lately, accompanied with thun-
der and lightning, which has been of great benefit to the city.
The greatest mortality during the height of the fever, in one
week, was 57 ; during this week, 42."

The Portuguese Minister. Chevalier CortnEA de
SERRA, and the French Minister, M. de NELT-
vILLE, had returned to Washington from Virginia.

We hardly need recommend to the particular
attention of our Readers the important documents
which they will find in our Paper this day. We
fully agree with The Times, to which the Public
are indebted for so early a possession of them,
that, in the arrangements which these documents
exemplify, " with partial good as little general
evil is united as ever did result from the meet-
ings of Personages who possess, conjointly,
millions of men at their command." Cer-
tainly, as far as motives of national and gene-
ral welfare are to be considered, the seve-
ral Potentates have performed their work with
justice and dignity, and are consequently entitled
to the esteem and gratitude of mankind. But
still this is a matter that depends on experience,
and however wise the Monarchs themselves ar.d
their Ministers may be, vet all wisdom is not con-
fined to them, and however presumptuous it
might be in an individual to question the policy
of removing the Allied Armies from France, yet
when the opinions of any individual are support-
ed by those of a large body of mankind, he may
surely venture to disclose his sentiments. The
difficulty with which TROTH can make its way to
Thrones, and even to Ministers, prevents them
from having so full a knowledge of the grounds of
action as men of great capacity, experience, a►,d
power of reflection, in subordinate stations, must
acquire, and we believe that a large portion of
such men view the condition of France as still
critical and dangerous. The JACOBIN SYSTEM
alone is sufficient to spread alarm all over Europe,
and till the general happiness and security of
a Country shall keep that system under doe
controul, no other nation can be safe. The
Armies, we will venture to say, ought not to have
left the French Territories till the full completion
of the period originally determined. Have there
not lately been Conspiracies in France, and have
not plots been recently detected and happily
frustrated at St. Helena, some for the elevation of
the individuals concerned in them, and others to
let loose a Monster who, it set at liberty, would
again ravage mankind ? It is folly to acquiesce in
the present, and not to cast a wary eye towards the
future. We, t het efore, applaud the Allied Monarchs
for the dignified philanthropy of their conduct,
but we confess that we do not think that it has
been overbalanced by their wisdom. But time
will spew, and in the interim ire doubt not,
that the Government of this country will be anxi-
ously on the watch to guard against the conse-
quences
,which may result from the arrangements
in question, and to which our Government
could not avoid conceding, because whatever
evils may arise from a premature determination,
must operate upon all the other Nations of Eu-
rope before it reaches us, and from which we are
not only protected by our insular situation, but
by a naval power, which we trust will not be
weakened beyond the most positive necessity, in
compliance with the murmurs of ignorance and
the clamours of Faction.

Te refer our Readers to one of the most in-
teresting and affecting Narratives of an Escape
front Shipwreck, in our Paper of Ibis day, that
perhaps ever attracted attention and awakened_
sympathy. The meritorious efforts which -at
length so happily succeeded on the occasion, dis-
play proofs of even romantic heroism and hu-
manity, and the names of the Parties should be
conspicuously recorded, in order to excite emula-
tion, as well as to do honour to such extraordinary
courage, perseverance, and ability. We ought in
justice to the Journal from which we dcrived this
affecting story, to add, that it is related with inte-
resting and impressive simplicity.
