Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle is not, we trust, intended
to be after the manner,of that of Vienna.

It is stated in letteri from Riga that the Emperor
ALZWIDIR has _lssued an order to collect all the
particular laws of the three German Provinces an-
flexed to his Empire, viz. Couriand, Livonia, and Es-
thonia ; in order that a code of law may be compiled
from them, possessing as great a 'degree of unifor,
mity as possible. Somf intention, it seems, is also',
thgertained of conferring a• National Representation
on the people of these Provinces. The Emperor is
tinderstood to have much at heart the prosperity of
ads portion of his subjects, and it is certainly no
tnean•blessing for which they have to thank him,
that among other works of beneficence he has abo-
lished the degrading system of personal servitude
prong' them.
The laws relative to the suppression of servitude
Int Esthonia, which had been consented to by all the
Nobles of that Province, have not been yet published;
bat this publication, we are informed, is only delayed
until a similar consent can be obtained from the N.
Nifty of Livonia, so that there may be a general.
abolition at the same time through the whole of these
territories.
The

of the students at Gottingen
has been attended with very serious consequences.
According to the last accounts, not less than fourteen
of the students and a dozen of the hussars have been
more or less wounded. A Swiss student and a hus-
sar are since dead of their wounds. The greater part
of the fOreign students have quitted Gottingen defi-
nitively. The number of those of the country of Ha-
nover and foreigners who remain does not exceed
five hundred.

Something of a similar nature seem to have teen
apprehended at another German university—that of
J,..eipsic. For some months past, as we leafn from a
Dresden article, there has been a great fermentation
among the Leipsic students, occasioned by their divi-
sion into clubs and parties. The administrators of
that establishment encountered the mithdy with

ness: all meeting in clubs was prohibited, and the in•-
sensates forthwith returned to their duty.
The City of Aleppo, the capital of Syria, has lately
become the theatre of a very violent religious perse-
cution. The Schismatic Greek Bishop of that City
(follower of the oriental rites) had obtained through
the medium of the Patriarch of Constantia•c,pie an
Edict from the Grand Seignior, in virtue of which
foutteen Catholic Priests were exiled, and the United
Greeks (Catholics of the Greek Ritual) wore com-
manded to acknowledge the Schismatic Priests as
their Pastors. A great many of the Catholics ref used
obedience to the order; the prisons were filled with thel
refractory, and 11 innocent people were assassinated.]
!Many of the richer individuals of the tribe fled into!
the mountains of Libauia, and the whole, with a few.
exceptions, remained stedfast to their faith. The
Consuls of France and Austria interceded it. vain ; the
Paulin replied, that he must execute the orders
of his Savereign.. According, however, to ulterior,
accounts, the PACHA had been induced' to suspend
the execution of his order,, a.ul had published o Jilam
or judicial sentence, by which he had declared, that
he could not recognize, according to the precepts of
the Koran, any superiority in one Christian profession
over another, throughout the States of the PortrE,
and that he therefore restored personal and religious
liberty to the Catholics, and invited all vd:o had
fled tier conscience-sok! to return.
This sentence has, it seems, been transmitted to
Coni,antinople, hut nobody has yet dared to submit
it to the eyes of the SULTAN, because it is in open
contradiction with his supreme Decree. The num-
ber of Catholics at Aleppo, against wHom this perse-
cution has been raised, is about 12,000.

From art additional series of American Papers
which we have received, we find that another person
besides Anaumwor and AIIIIHIESTER, has been ar-
rested by the Americans, although not treated with
equal barbarity; he i; stated to be a Colonel DICK-
SON, and charged also with exciting the Indians
against the people of the United Slates. He was.,
taken between the rivers St. Peter and St. Croix, I
whence he was brought to St. Louis, and surrendered
up to the proper authorities, lie has since, however,
been suffered to return, upon giving bonds for his
I personal appearance,
A certain Mr. OTALLAN, who is Republican
Agent among the Red Indians, asserts farther, in a
letter which he has addressed to the Governor of the
Illinois Territory, that Lord SICLKIRK had also en-
tered the Indian territory without "any authority,
and had been concerned with Dictcson in insti-
gating the Indians against the Americans. His
Lordship, it is true, has solemnly disavowed any
such design to this OTALLAN himself; but the man
not apparently appreciating the value of a British
Nobleman's declaration, persists in his calumnious
accusation in a style which presents such a mixture
of the absurd and the amusing, that we cannot re-
frain laying a characteristic passage of his letter
before our Readers:

" Knowing these things," he says, " what must
have been my feelings on hearing that his Lordship
had met with a favourable reception at St. Louis?—
The Newspapers announcing AU arrival and general
Scottish appearance, all tend to discompose NW, believ.
ing, as I do, that he is plotting, with his friend Dr9c-
oaf, our destruction, sharpening the savage scalping
