VIENNA, OCTOBER 6.

The Conferences between the Ministers of the prig.
cipal Powers are continued with the greatest activity,
and they are already agreed on the principal articles
of the system of partition, and on the bases of a gene.
ral and durable peace.- However, it is not expected
that any thing will appear relative to the operation*
of this secret Congress before the 18th of this month.
Then, on the Anniversary of the " Battle of Na-
tions," the world will be made acquainted with the
important results of that ever-memorable day.
Yesterday afternoon, at half-past four o'clock, waa
celebrated in the Augustin, in presence of the august
sovereigns, the Princes and their numerous suites, the
grand Festival on occasion of the Peace, in honour of
the Austrian veterans. The crowd of spectators was
immense.

The Austrian veterans, who were invited to this
fete, filed off before the Sovereigns and their Courts.
Imilitary music playiog all the while; they formed in
a line before the seats where the Court WAS plACeq,
and then went to the seats prepared for them. The
persons Wipe► were to perforna in the different amuse-
, meats.than catered : loot and horse races and
n.rstic exercises succeeded. After which 400 veterans
dined at 10 tables ; trophies of arins were raised near
Ithe orchestras, and Hungarians, Bohemians, Aus-
trianu and Tyrolew, in ieur tents, pericatmed their
national dances to the proper music.
The fire-works began at night tall; the first p.t: t
represented a grotto, from which torrents of water
iuned; the second, a glory analogous to the fete,
Iwhich disappearing, discovered the city and the tower
of the cathedral magnificently illuminated. Above
80,000 lamps. gave a light equal to day. Among
the most striking objects in the illumination was Cie
BraoclgOurs Gate of Berlin with tho car of Victoty.

MADRID, OCTOBER 7.
At half-past seven in the morning of the 4th inst.
the King visited, without previous notice, the royal
prison cf this capital, accompanied by the Duke
of Alagon, the Captain of his Guards. There his
Majesty, exercising his innate goodness, condescended
to examine the different departments of the prison,
listening to and consoling the prisoners with that kind-
ness and humanity which characterise his Majesty,
end displaying his well known clemency towards se-
veral Individuals. He enquired into the cases of five
men and eight women, who were confined for slight
offences, and ordered them to be discharged, after
mildly admonishing them to abstain from future ex-
cesses. His Majesty finally visited the solitary place
of detention called the Grillera, where his Royal
mind was so affected by the horrible and filthy aspect
of the place, that he ordered its removal and destruc-
tion, so that no memorial of it might remain.
: His Majesty observed, that prisoners should be
placed in a state of security corresponding to their
offences, but at the same time should be treated with
that humanity which all his beloved subjects deserved,
whatever might be their lot.
. The following Royal Ordinance has been issued
by his Majesty :
" Don Ferdinand VII. by the Grace of Goa, Xing of Castile,
Leon, Amgen, &c. to those of my Council, to the Presidents,
and Regents of my Audiences, the Corregidor', Intendants, Go-
vernors, and Mayors, of all the cities and towns of my kingdoms,
know ye--That by a. Decree of the General Exuaurdinary Cor-
tes, of the Pith August, 11111, all jurisdictional seignieries of
whatever class or condition were incorporated with the Nation ;
that all payments both real and persond, which owed their origin
to a jurisdictional tide, were abolished, with the exception of
such as proceeded from free contract in the exercise of the
right of property, the territorial and manorial sellnlories re-
maining in the class of other rights of property ; abolishing also
the priv loges called exclesive, privative, or prohibitive, such as
those of the chase, fishing, ovens and mills.
'•ln this state of things representadoiu have been made to me
by various Grandees of Spain, and titulars of Castile, jurisdic-
tional Lords of townships in Arragen Valencia, and other pro-
vinces, complaining of the robberies ;which they have suffered
and do suffer, under pretence of the said Decree, in the enjoy-
ment of the rights and payments which it reserved to them, de-
manding restitution, and some of them praying a declaration of
the nullity of the Decree. The said Memorials have been referred
'to my Council of State, and to the Law Officers of the Crown;
and observing the delicacy and circumspeedosi with which the
latter have abstained from pronouncing as to the nullity of the
Pecrie, until they had collected all the materials for forming a
judgment ea that interesting point, my Council has also ab-
stained from entering into an examination of it until thesaid Law
Officers deliver their opinion.
" With regard to the claim made by the said jurisdletkinal
Lords of restoration to the rights of which they have been arbi-
trarily despoiled by the towns in their respective seigniories,
though preserved to them by the decree of the Cortes, my Coun-
cil accedes to the recommendation of my Law Officers, that the
justice of the said claims be admitted, and the proper remedies
to prevent such abuses be provided without delay—therefore, it
is my Royal resolution, in conformity with the advice of my
Council, to order, that the said jurisdictional Lords be imme-
diately replaced in the enjoyment of all the rents, emoluments,
payments, and rights, belonging to their territorial and manorial
reguimity, and in that of all the ether rights which they enjoyed
ps:ur to tte 6th of August, 1811, and which do not derive their
origin from jurisdictional and exclusive privileges' without pre-
judice to what I may hereafter reaolve, with the advice of my
Council, as to the nullity, continuance, or revocation of the said
Decree of the Cortes, abolishing *dynodes.

FRENCH P.IPXII4O.

VIENNA, OCTOBER 7.

The busisess of the Congress is discussed with ea-1
treme activity since the Emperor of Russia has cans.
edit to be notified that be meant to leave Vienna
before the end of the month. It is also asserted-that
an official note on the part of Russia has been laid
before Congress, in which it is declared drat it is the
wish of his Imperial Majesty that no alteration be
issatie in the treaty of Paris, but that it be maintained
lboth in its form and tenour, and that the affairs of
,Oertriany be regulated by the German Princes alone.
/The Emperor of Austria and the allied Sovereigns
tinted yesterday at Anbof, near Maria-Brunn.
The Archduchess Maria Louisa will arrive to-day
-it Schoenbrunn, where she will remain some time,
to repose from the fatigues of her journey.
The Foreign Ministers dined yesterday with Prince
-Metternich.

Memorials are daily given to the Sovereigns and
Ministers engaged in the Congress, by the envoys
and agents of Princes, Counts, and Barons of the
'irt-dsvant German empire. The Abbot of St. Gall is
?Incredibly busy in trying to revive his tights to his
tad abbacy ; but this affair belongs rather to Svritz•
erland than to Germany.
It is said here that the opening of the general Con-
gress will not take place till the 18th, or as others
assert the 16th. The evening before the members
will solemnly proceed to the Cathedral, where the
ALMIGHTY will be invoked to enlighten the Princes
as to their true interests, and to strengthen among
them that spirit of peace and confidence by Nikki
they are united. Prayers will also be put up, -dial
GOD may pour out his wrath upon the first who shall
in future disturb the repose of the world.
We do not here -hold thr • opinion accredited.
throughout almost all Germany, which considers the.
• assemblage of monarchs in this city as of itself farm,:
ing the general Congress. The Sovereigns and Mi..,
niters will lay the foundations of the political edifice,
and the superstructure will be afterwards worked
- -upon.- The Sovereigns having in fact signified their
intention of returning to their States by the end all
-the month, it is quite impossible that all Interests.
can h.tve been previously regulated.

It is • hoped that England, having no longer to
combat the man who exercised despotism over the
Continent, will renounce on her part the monopoly
of maritime commerce.
There is aho talk of a federative system, or, if we
may so speak, of a kind of republic of the' .great
&ates of Europe, subject to a general law equally
binding on all. , •

The Provisional Committee for the discussion
the afrafrs of Germany is composed, it is said, of the
Austrian Counsellors Rademacher, Spiegel, and
Frank, and the Prussian Counsellor Fries.
Field-Marshal PrinceWrede is so much indisposed
that some alarm is felt for him. The wounds he re-
ceived it the battle of Hamm have broken dot afresh)
and cause him much pain. ' . ' •
