AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, OCTOBER 20.

The Prince of Orange arrived here on the 17th
instant, at the country seat, hired half a league from
the city by the Emperor Alexander ; at five o'clock the
three Sovereigns paid a visit to his Royal Highness.
A report is still current that some exchange of terri-
tory is intended between Prussia and the Netherlands.

PR 1 V.IIT. LETTER.

" The Emperor of Russia and -King of Prassia• de-
; pitted from this city yesterday morning, to review
their troops on the French frontiers. I'LO Duke of
'Wellington had srt off the evening before. The Em-
peror of Austria is still here, and does not intend to
proceed to the army.
4, The Emperor Alexander was accompanied in
his carriage by his brother the Grand Duke Constan-
tine, who resembles him very much in personal ap-,
pearance, and who enjoys much of his confidence.—
His Majesty was followed by three other carriages,
in which were his brother Michael, and the several
military charac ers and great officers of his household.-
" There is a report here that Russia, under all the
circumstances, hail made rather a bad bargain with
Spain, for the ships which she sent to Cadiz. She
is obliged to give three new frigates for those which
are found not to be sea-worthy. They have already
passed Plymouth. Prince Galitzin, the Russian Se
cretary of Embassy at the Court of Madrid, is said
to have come here on that business; and Admiral
Tatischeff, the Ambassador who made the bargain,
does not stand well with either of the parties, and it
is reported will be recalled. _

Ocronrit 22.—There has been no conference of,
Ministers for the last two days. There is one to-day
at eleven o'clock.

" The Declaration or Address of the Allied Powers
to the French People, on the retiring of the Army of
Occupatidn, has not yet been agreed to, and deli-
vered to the Duke of Ricriatau. The discussion
that took place in one of the conferences that imme-
diately followed the signature of the Treaty of Eva-
cuation on the 9th, is said to have been of an animated
nature. The Minister of Prussia is reported to have
proposed the continuance and consolidation of the
quadruple alliance, and to have strongly urged the
policy, if not the necessity, of such a measure. The
Duke of IlicriaLreo opposed the proposition, as
uncalled for in the present state of things, as indica-
tive of illiberal and unwarrantable suspicions of the
conduct of France, and as menacing to her impor-
tance among the nations. The Duke is reported to
have uttered his sentiments on this occasion with
great energy, and to have employed much dramatic
effect. France,' he is reported to have said, tin-1
buttoning his coat, and pointing to his breast—H
France is exposed, as you now see me ; 'she awaits
your resolves. If you place her beyond the sphere
of your Treaties, she will take advantage of her
exclusion to consolidate her internal Institutions,
and thus to increase her power and resources,
in the bosom of peace, at a distance from the dis-
putes and discussions which may agitate Europe.—
When she has thus increased her power, she must re-
cover her influence : and be assured that the epoch
will soon arrive when you will be obliged to return to
court her alliance. If you now, on the other hand,
admit her into the treaty which consolidates the great
European Confederation, you will find that you have
placed an additional weight in the scale of modera-
tion and justice.' Such is the report of this confe-
rence. I know not what degree of credit ought to
be attached to it ; but it is certain, that the scheme
of continuing the proposed alliance was soon after-
wards abandoned, and that France is to be admitted
into the Treaty. It is supposed that at the conference
of to-day, the declaration or address to which I have
already alluded will be agreed to.
" There is to be a Ball to-night at the New Re-
doubt. 'The following notice appears in the bills—
'On eat prie de ne point dansercn bones. MM. let
militaires ne tont point assujettis a retie regle.' One
would suppose that the people of this place required
the directions of the Police to prevent errors or mis-
takes in the most common forms. There is an order
stuck up, that nobody shall smoke in the great ball-
room, in the presence of the company. A great
number of letters arrive at the Post Office every day,
addressed to the Sovereigns. Among the most curi-
ous is one which arrived this morning, from a person
at Strasburg, offering himself as a Court Fool to the
Monarchs, during their stay, for the purpose of tell-
ing them the truth, which they can hear, he says,
through no other channel."
