STATE OF FRANCE.

CONFERENCE BETWEEN THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA
AND GENERAL MAISON, AT AIX-LA-CHAPELLE.

The EMPEROR.—WeII, General, the evacuation
of France is decided, and your country restored
to her independence. I love to persuade myself
that after having sliewn such fortitude in her re-
verses, she will not conduct herself worse under
more fortunate circumstances.

General MAlsoN.—Your Majesty's hopes will
nor, I am sure, be disappointed.
The EMPEROII.—I wish to see France for two
years to come, in order to ascertain how she de-
means herself in the new order of things about
to be established. Some persons pretend that the
majority of the French desire to return to the
regime which existed befote the Revolution.—
What do you think ?
The GENERAL.—Some persons who have been
soured by misfortune, and some others who may
he seduced by ambitious ideas, may have tried to
extol that system, but the majority are very far
front being of that opinion—quite the contrary.
The ENIPEROR..--I believe it. As to myself, I
am a friend to liberal ideas. I feel that nations
must be delivered from arbitrary power. I have
already done it in my kingdom of Poland : I shall
extend the benefit to my other States. In France,
what is done is irrevocable, and, if it were neces-
sary, new guarantees must be found against the
return of the past. It is particularly necessary to
prevent all attempts against national property.
However, I have toll confidence in the wisdom
and judgment of the King of FRANCE. I am
equally persuaded that if the Prince, his brother,
shall one day ascend the Throne, he would follow
the same march, and maintain the constitutional
institutions. This is also the opinion of the Duke
of WELLINGTON. I repeat it, that I wish France
to be great and strong. This is necessary to the
well understood interests of all Powers. I give
you my word of honour, General,•that I have no
other sentiments, and you may believe me, for I
ant an hottest man."—(From a Letter front Air-
la-Chapelle.)

It is now understood that the Emperor of
RUSSIA does not intend to go to Paris. The King
of PRUSSIA has also, it is said, given up his in.
tention of visitiug the French capital. These two
Monarchs w ill return to Aix-la-Chapelle after the
review of the Allied troops.

HER MAJESTY.—The following BkiHello was
Issued this morning :

" KEW PALACE, OCT. 17.

throughout yesterday, bat Her MAJESTY has
passed a less comfortable night. The symptoms

We ,received at a late hour this day the Paris
Papers of Wednesday last. The Moniteur copies
the article from the Journal des Pcbots, of Tuesday,
which e extracted yesterday, and also gives two
other articles from the Journal des Maires and the
Journal du Commerce, exulting in the signature of
the Conveutiun for the evacuation of France,
bnt they furnish no new fact u hatevcr. The fol-
lowing are extracts :

" PARIS, OCT. I4.—The King yesterday took

an airing to Argenteuil.
The Douaniers of the Netherlands-have seized
a part of the wines destined for the Emperor of
Ritsia-, on account of an erroneous decimation as
to their price.

" It appears to he certain that the ISch or 20th
inst. is to he the day for the review by the Em-
peror of Russia and the King of Prussia, alter
which their troops will commence their departure.
The Austrian, Bavarian, and \Virtemberg troops
are not intended to be reviewed ; they will be put
in march immediately for the right bank of the
Rhine, from whence they will proceed to their
respective destinations.—(Journal de Paris.)

" From Dunkirk it is stated, that the Ilano
verian artillery, and a part of the baggage, wil
be embarked at that port on the 20th instant.

" The Captain of a vessel recently arrived from
Alexandria reports, that at his departure there
were two hundred merchant ships in the har-
bour. The Pacha was building a frigate.

We learn from Aix-la-Chapelle the 10th inst.,
that the Aides-de•Camp of the different Corps
d'Armee had set out from thence to give orders
relative to the evacuation.

" The Emperor of Russia and the King of
Prussia are to proceed to Valenciennes the 25th
inst. It appears that the Emperor of Austria will
not be present at the grand reviews, which arc to
take place between Sedan and 111aubeuge.—
( Gazette de France.)

During the period of the grand reviews there
will be an open table of 300 covers. Every Com-
mandant will also have an open table of 100

Covers.

Aix•LA-CHAPELLE, OCT. B.—The celebrated
prophetess, Mademoiselle Lenot maw, excites here
a great sensation. It is said that, being an inti-
mate friend of the late Josephine, she possesses
memoirs of that lady which she proposes to pre-
sent to the Allied Monarchs.

'' OCT. 10.—The Emperor of Austria will wait
here the return of the two other Sovereigns from

the reviews.

" MADRID, OCT. I.—According to letters from
Cadiz, the Expedition. preparing there for Arne-
iica is to consist of six ships of the line, six
frigates, six corvettes, nine brigantines, and 23
gun-boats. Measures are taking by the Govern-
ment to raise money. It is thought that this Ex-
pedition was the cause of
_the disgrace of the
three Ministers.

M. de Cisneros is to exercise for the present,
at Cadiz, all the Functions of Minister of the

" FRANKPoRT, OCTOBER 9.—The h.--
Duchess of Kent arrived here the night I°f°
last, and set out today for Switzerland."

We have copied from a respectable lgornill
Paper of this day, a paragraph, importing
the Emperor ALeXANDER had presented a N°.;
to his August Allies, requiring them to ennsend
to the removal of BUONAPARTE from the Isla%
of ST. HELENA, to a inure healthy place, and that
the Emperor of AUSTRIA bad Seconded this Ite'
qeisition; probably, as it is observed, on the in'
tercession of MARIA Louisa, the Princess °II°
was HlRlried w BUONAPARTE while hisfirstwife°
living, and from whom he was not, and could not be'
divorced, because he could offer no justifiable Pleti
for repudiation. We join with the Editor of the
Morning Paper, in his doubts of the correctnese,
of the intelligence, for if we gave credit to it,
Iv
conceive that we should offer an insult to the uir
derstandings of both of these Emperors, as ° ,
cannot, we should presume, but know that tell
removal of the Prisoner, the Culprit tv `QY °fled
call him, after all his atrocities, a 'e-a
secure place would endanger the peace 61:0
security of Europe. There is n° reason ';
believe that BUONAPARTE could not be as beak":
St. Helena as at any other place, if his own Pri":
obstinacy, artifice, and ambition, did not in",

fere, and if he had not hopes that it he were un(is

less restraint, a restraint absolutel essential for
111
repose of mankind, he might be able to escape,6

give any credit to a report so injurious (o.ll'o

we sincerely hope that the other Sovereign "11
will have more- discretion, more judgmeol'
