AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, SEPTEMBER 29.

PRIVATE LETTER.
I sit down to the Journal of to-day, as I did
yesterday, without having any thing farther to record
than a round of Royal visits, ceremonies, presenta-
tions, and parade ; and probably history, if she con-
descends to be so minute, will have little else to de-
tail of these two days than such transactions. Yes-
terday the receptions and friendly visits took place.
To-day similar ceremonies were repeated, with more
pomp and ft3TM. All the courtiers and corps diplo-
matique were at their posts by an early hour, and
their business (if it may be called such) continued
with great activity to a late hour in the afternoon.—
The Emperor Alexander waited upon the King of
Prussia and the Emperor of Austria before eleven
,iclock, and their Majesties returned the visit a short
time afterwards. The King of Prussia came first.
ar.d remained some time with his imperial guest—
:lle Emperor of Austria arrived within a quarter of
twelve, ie a splendid equipage, consisting. of three
carriages, in the first of whier wore himself and a
.distinguished person whose name we could not learn.
Two General Officers occupied the second, and two
Chamberlains the third. These three carriages drove
hilo..the great court, before the hall of entrance.
His Imperial Majesty remained upwards of a quarter
of a.. 1 hour. His Excellency Count Benningsen, Ge-
• rernl•in-Chief in the Service of Russia, who had
arrived on Sunday, came nearly at the same time to
pay his homage to his Imperial Master, and remain-
ed in his hotel till two o'clock. Lord Castlereagh
arrived a little after twelve, when the Emperor of
Austria had gone, and remained with his Majesty
for nearly half an hour. His Lordship came with
the same equipage, and in the same dress, which I
yesterday described. Neither his carriage nor.that
of Count Benningsen at first entered the Court,
though his Lordship's afterwards advanced to the
front door to take him up. None of his suite accom-
panied him. As he was descending the great stair-
case, after taking his leave, the Duke of Wellington
drove up into the court in. grand style, accompanied
by Colonel Ilarvey and two other.Aides-de-camp.—
His Grace remained a copsiderable time with his
Imperial Majesty, who, as soon as the former had
I.rft him, mounted his plain unornamented carriage,
and drove off to the quarters of the King of Prussia.
A har.dsome anecdote is connected with this visit,
which, as it redounds both to the credit of the Hero
of Waterloo and a Monarch who could appreciate
his services, deserves to be mentioned. His Grace
sent in the morning one of his Russian Aides-de-
camp to enquire what time it would be most conve-
nient for bis Majesty to receive his homage ?—the
Emperor, without returning a direct answer to this
message, privately descended the staircase, and or-
dering his carriage to be brought, drove off to the
hotel of his Grace, to pay him that compliment
which the latter was anxious to pay him, and to an-
ticipate an offer of respect by conferring a delicate
and ur.expected honour.
" Prince Metternich and Prince Hardenberg were
presented like the other Ministers in the course of
the morning, and each remained some time with his
Imperial Majesty. I had almost forgotten the visit
of the Duke of Richelieu, who did not present him-
self before his former master in his splendid equipage
or With any of the distinctions of his rank, but pro-
ceeded on foot in a plain bourgeois habit, without
aay orders or decorations.
" About half-past two their Imperial Majesties of
Russia and Austria, and all the Ministers of the
Allied Courts, proceeded to the hotel of the King of
I'russia, to dine with his Majesty. The troops defiled
before the door, and the band of the guards played
during the time of dinner. There were present at
this entertainment, besides the three Sovereigns,
Prince Hardenberg, Count Bernstoff, and General
Ilacke, (Prussians); the Duke of Wellington, and
Lord Castlereagh ; Count Capo d'lstria, Count Nes-,
selrode, and M. Alopeus, (Russian Ministers) ; the
Duke of Richelieu, and Prince Metternich. This
august company separated at fire o'clock, and re.

turned to their respective hotels.. The Emperor
Alexander held a Coast at six o'clock, at which the
-Prussian and other military officers now in the city
were presented. In the evening the King of Prussia,
accompanied by his; son, Prince Charles, and Prince
Wittgenstein, Minister of Police, honoured the Thea-
tre with his presence. The piece performed was Jean
de Paris, in German ; and his Majesty seemed highly
pleased with the entertainment.
“ To this account, which may be called the 4 Court
Circular' of Aix-la-Chapelle, I have no details to add
concerning the re-anions and circles of the Sovereigns
and Ministers in the evening. Preparations are mak-
ing at the coantry-horse of the Emperor Alexander
for the balls and fetes which will be given these by
his Majesty. The road all the way from the city to
his residence has been provided with lamps at regu-
lar distances. Nothing can yet be said about the
course which Congress will pursue. It is said, how-
ever, on good adthority, that from the precedents
established at the Congress of Vienna and Paris, the
preliminary arrangements wM be short, and that the
Ministers can almost immediately proceed to the im-
portant business for which they are assembled.—
Their conferences will not take place in the grand
saloon of the Hotel de Ville, as was at one time sup-
posed, but at each other's hotels ; nor will there be
any proces verbal made of their deliberations till they
have come to an understanding oa each other's views
with regard to the great question of the evacuation
of France. The town, which hat been filling fast for
some days, is now crowded with strangers. With-
out including the great numbers who arrived to-day
and yesterctayt there arrived on Saturday and Sun-
darlsS persons, whose names are thought of
cient consequence to be placed in a printed list of
arrivals.. 'these you will conclude are not all persons
of distinction, when I mention that among them
them are violin-players and marehands de modes ;
but the following extracts of this list will sheer the
quality of them. You cannot fail to remark the
great preponderance' of Russians : •

" The g.ty equipages and brilliant decorations of
these strangers give this small city all the appearance
of a great Court on a levee-day. We never saw so
many stars in our life-time—they appear as nume-
rons at Aix-la-Chapelle as in the firmament; every
Sovereign is surrounded with his constellation. The
grotesque appearance and the affected dress of some
of the students who have arrived here from the Uni-
versities, excite nearly as much attention as the Cos-
sacks about the houbehold of the Emperor Alexan-
der. It would not be complained of if the other Go-
vernments of Germany would follow an apparently
very arbitrary regulation now issued by Austria, for-
bidding their students to travel during their vacation
till they had laid aside their antiquated and affected
fopperies. Madame Catalani is now at Dresden, and
is soon expected at Aix-la-Chapelle. Madame Ikea.
mier, the Paris banker's lady, who was about to leave
Aix-la-Chapelle when Prince Augustus of Prussia
arrived, still prolongs her stay. His Royal High-
ness, who first met with I.cr in the company of Ma-
dame de Stael, pays her frequent visits.
" A certain Lord whose carriage wanted
some slight repairs, applied to a blacksmith here,
who, after he had finished the job, demanded for his
work so extravagant a price that his Lordship re-
sisted payment, and a squabble having ensued, drew
a pistol from his pocket to shoot poor Vulcan. The
police took up the matter, and his Lordship is now
under arrest, to stand his trial.

The Government of Prussia has issued a monk-
ciliation of rix-dollars, with the name of that coin,
which in German is El* Reichstkakr, impressed upon
them. These circulate in the Prussian part of Saxony,
and the Saxons, by thus dividing the word Ein Reich-
stial-er, make out a sentence, of which the literal
translation is, HE STOLE A KINGDOM.
" Among the list of arrivals we observe that 'of
Madame la Comtosse de Montholon, from St. Helena.
I have not heard that Madame la Baronne de Vi-
trolles and she haw formed any social connexions,
or made any repprochotent."

It appears, from Reports made to the French Mi-
nister of the Marine Department, that at Martinique
the small-pox has been unknown for ten years, and
that the number of persons vaccinated in that time,
amounts to 50,009. Gaudaloupe is also equally free
from the disorder.

The King of FRANCE has Permitted an individual
at Dunkirk, M. DAGNEAU, to give his name to a ves-
sel, which he is now fitting out in the harbour of Dun-
kirk, for the whale fishery, and has also given him
private encouragement, this being the first equipment
of that nature. It is to this fishery that the town of
Dunkirk owes in a great degree its former splendour.
Its 1790, thirty-four vessels of every description sailed
itegtl this harbour for the whale fishery.

This morning Consols opened at 75k; the Market
was very brisk, and immense purchases made ; one

one million! but this purchase only advanced
Stock one-eighth ; the sellers were those Gentlemen
who have been bearing for some time back. The
Commissioners gave i5l, and were served generally
by the Jobbers. After the Commissioners had pur-
chased, some very heavy sales took place, and the
Market at one o'clock looked heavy.

The following Private Letter, received by the Times
this morning from Aix-la-Chapelle, announces the
important fact, that Congress has already come to a
determination on the grand object for which it was
assembled ; but we think it right to state, that we
have not, after the most diligent inquiry, been able
to meet with the least confirmation of this intelli-
gence in any of the other advices received in town
previous to our going to press. The evacuation of
France by the Allied Troops is said, in the letter re-
ferred to, to have been definitively resolved upon; the
High Allied Powers, as well as the French Govern-
ment itself, being agreed in opinion that France• is
now arrived at such a state of internal order and
harmony that no danger is to be feared, either to the
stability of the reigning government, or the general
tranquillity of Europe, by restoring to its Sovereign
and people all those rights of self-government which
belong to a free and independent State.
The Act to this effect, it is said, was agreed upon on
the 3d inst. and Count CARAMAN was immediately dis-
patched to Paris, as the bearer of the important and
pleasing intelligence to his Sovereign. The evacua-
tion is to take place in the course of this month, or
early in the beginning of the next; and the dip'omatic
labours of the Duke of IlicitExtzu being thus suc-
cessfully ended, he expects to be able to return to
Paris, to receive the congratulations of his country-
men, by the 15th instant.
With every friend to the continuance of a state of
peace and growing prosperity, we sincerely wish that
the High Allied Powers may be well founded in that
confidence in the good disposition of the French peo-
ple, which is the basis of the critical stepthey are said to
have now taken : but be the consequences of it what
they may. we fed well satisfied that no good wks
possibly to be obtained by continuing an hour longer
in the occupation of the French territory, and are
therefore most readily disposed to accord to the Act
all the praise of being most prudent and wise: •

" AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, OCT. 3, Smo'Ciocr, P.M.

" I use the utmost possible dispatch in informing
you, that the Most important of the business of Con-
gress is already terminated. YESTERDAY AT NOON,
AND AT THE END OP THE FIFTH CONFERENCE, THE
EVACUATION OF FRANCE NT THE ALLIED TROOPS
WAS ACRFED CrON. COI= CARAMAN, the Ambas-
sador of France at Vienna, who depart( 3 for Paris
with dispatches last night mentioned in a letter
was the bearer of this important and pleasing
intelligence to his Sovereign. Though I heard
the news at an early hour this morning. I could not
obtain any details, or even learn the foundation on
which it rested until now ; and was unwilling to agi-
tate the English public by vague rumours. The short-
Iness of the time may plead my apology for sending
you at present only a few particulars. The Act orl
Convention fur the evacuation of France is not yet
signed, but the following statement may be relied
upon :—The Allied Troops are xo leave France in the
course of the present month, or early in the begin-
ning of the next, at such intervals and by such routes as
may be afterwards determined to be most convenient
for all parties. The Allied Powers are perfectly sa-
tisfied with the present state of France, and the secu•
rities which she offers, in her internal condition, for
the preservation of the general tranquillity. They
are likewise satisfied with the proposed guarantees for
the payment of the contributions. These contribu-
tions are all to be discharged in the course of nine
months from the signature of the Treaty. The first
instalment is to be 26 per cent. upon the whole sum ;
and the remainder is to be paid by equal instalments
at the end of every two months. The first payment
of 25 per cent. will take place on the 26th of Decem-
ber of the present year. The house of BARING and
Co. supported by their friends of the other banking-,
houses of Europe, is the security. Mr. BARING was
yesterday called to a conference, and presented satis-
factory guarantees. The distribution of the sums to
be contributed I have not yet been able minutely. to
ascertain, but the following are the portions allotted
to the greater Powers :

Russia will receive 48 millions of Emma
England - 48 ditto.
Austria, about 40 ditto.
