AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, OCTOBER 4.
-.--

PRIVATE LETTER.
" There has been no conference to-day, on account
lof the indisposition of the Russian Minister, Count
r Capo d'lstria. This being the fete-day Of the Em-
peror of Austria, it was expected that he would go
to the Cathedral Church in great state, and that be
would afterwards hold a Court, at which all the Fo-
reign Ministers and the suites of the different Sove-
reigns would be presented ; but this expectation was
disappointed in both cases by the indisposition of his
Imperial Majesty. Some of the Foreign Ministers
called at his hotel, but were informed that the Em-
peror could not see them. The Emperor of Russia
proceeded there likewise at half-past one, and after
having alighted and conversed for a minute or two
with a Chamberlain, returned without seeing his Ma-
jesty. The Emperor of Russia was dressed in an
Austrian uniform, out of compliment to his Austrian
Majesty on his name-day. ills Imperial Majesty
heard Mass in a small chapel fitted up in his hotel.
The King of Prussia attended Divine Service at the
/Votestant Church in the morning, at eight o'clock,
altng with the troops in garrison here. His Majesty
was accompanied by the Princess of Tour and Taxis,
his sister-in-law. Her daughter, who is a Catholic,
after the religion of her father, attended Divine Ser-
vice in the Cathedral. The Duke of Kent arrived
here last night, and was this morning visited by the
Emperor Alexander. His Royal Highness being
lodged at the Redoubt, in the most frequented part
of the city, a great crowd collected about Alexander
when he alighted, and shouted nee rErTereur! the
words to which they were trained in the time of Bo-
naparte. A little before two o'clock, Lord Castle-
reagh waited upon his Royal Uighness, and offered
him the use of his carriage to the hotel of the King
of Prussia, where a grand dinner was given to the
Emperor Alexander and all the Allied Ministers.
The party began to arrive about half-past one, and
the dinner was over before four. The Emperor of
Austria was absent, from the same indisposition which
prevented him from receiving company in the morn-
ing. Besides the Emperor of Russia we observed
the arrival of the Duke of Kent, the Duke of Wel-
lington, Lord Castlereagh. the Duke of Richelieu,
Prince Metternich, Prince Hardenberg, Prince Wit-
genstein, and several other great political and mili-
tary characters. A great ball is given by the City
to-night, in honour of the Allied Sovereigns, and
the fete of the Emperor of Austria.
" Madame Reichard, whose ascent in a balloon
was advertised for this morning, has been prevented
from making the experiment by the badness of the
weather. Prince Augustus, of Prussia, left this place
some time ago, and Madame Recamier three days
afterwards. The sister of the Emperor of Russia,
the Princess of Orange, is expected at the country
house of the Emperor to spend there some days.
Among the number of strangers whom the Congress
has attracted to Aix-la-Chapelle, we observe the cele-
brated Mr. Owen, of New Lanark, who has just come
from Frankfort on the Maine. He repaired to that
city to present a memorial to the Diet, offering to
produce a plan, by which riclifs may be created in
such abundance, that the wants and desires of every
human being may be over satisfied, and by which the
rising generation, without force or punishment of any
kind, may be trained by circumstances so as to exclude
any defect, except what may arise frbm the inexpe-
rience of the parties who execute its details, or be
owing to qualities uncontroulablc by human means.'
" " This, it will easily be seen • is the general result
which he draws from his plan Of the villages of mu-
tual co-operation that made such a noise fast year in
the London Papers. This Memorial he is come here
to present to the Allied Sovereigns and Ministers. It
is printed in three different languages—in English,
for Lard Castlereagh, and in French and German.
for the other great personages of Congress. He left
the Diet, discussing the military organization of Ger-
many, without receiving any answer to his pacific
project, or being called upon to explain its details."
OCTOBER 5.

The Duke of Kent left Aix-la-Chapelle this morn-
ing, at eight o'clock. The question of the evacua-
tion of France now talked of in all societies as de-
cided. As et the formal act has not been signed,
but the sentiments of the Ministers and Sovereigns
all concur in the measure which only now awaits their
official sanction. The greatest difficulty in the ulterior
arrangements, and in the settlement of the securities,
will arise, it is said, on the part of Prussia. This
power, it is ill be remernbered, sheaved the greatest dis-
satisfaction at the delays, that occurred the affair
of the private reclamations, and probably dreads simi-
lar inconveniences in the payment of the contribu-
tions, unless the guarantees shall be altogether unex-
ceptionable. The general d.tails which I sent you as
prospectively those to be adopted are in the main cor-
rect, and will meet the views of all the Powers.
The ball given by the City last night was eery
brilliant, and will be long remembered in the annals
of the Redoubt of Aix-la-Chapelle. The houses op-
posite the ball-room in this pile of buildings were
illuminated. Prusiiangen-d'armes on foot and horse-
back attended, to keep order and clear the streets
for the carriages. Every carriage in the town and
neighbourhood was put in requisition, and many of
them, like our coaches employed in bringing elec-
tors to the poll, returned and brought successive
quotas. The Emperor of Russia and King of Prussia
arrived about eight o'clock, with their suites. The
Emperor was dressed in a Prussian uniform. They
were, of course, the principal objects of attraction
during their'stay, which was nearly an hour and a
half—nor were they idle spectators of the gaiety of
the scene, or inactive objects for the public gaze.
Their Imperial and Royal Majesties danced a Polo-
naise with great spirit, with the Duke of Kent, the
Duke of Richelieu, Lord Castlereagh, and other dis-
tinguished persons, the Princess of Tour and Taxis,
her daughter, the Duchess of Kent, the Countess of
Metternich, (sister-in-law of the Minister), Lady-Cast-
lereagh, and other ladies. Her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent attracted particular attention by the
richness of her dress and the splendour of her jewels.'
• The dances wire principally quadrilles and waltzes.
There was only one country dance, which was ar-
' ranged by General Maisson, and composed of M.
Guarte, the burgomaster, and other merchants of the
city. The ball did not conclude till midnight:'

So confident have the great Jew speculator% been
that a considerable advance would ensue upon the

announcement of the final evacuation of the Allied
Troops from France, that they have made purchases
in the Stocks to an incredible amount, for next time.
The consequence was, that yesterday Consols were at'
76f, money, and even at that price several bargains
were concluded ; however, the market this morning
has taken a different turn, and fallen one-half per
cent. Consols opening at 75/ for the November ac-
count, and 751 i for Tuesday next, settling day.—
This account is evidently a Bull one, and the monied
men are apprehensive that a considerable fall will
take place on or before Settling-day. The Commis-
aioners gave 75i, and were served generally by the
Jobbers. The market looked very heavy after the
Commissioners closed their bargain.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday, which arrived this
forenoon, confirm the intelligence which we gave on

Wednesday from the Times, of the evacuation of
France by the Allied Troops having been unani
mously agreed to at Air-la-Chapelle, on the 2d inst.
The following arc the extracts in which it is an-
nounced:

It AIX-LA-CIIAPELLE, OCT. 9.
(EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER).

" The third Ministerial Conference has had the
most important resultb.
" Count Georges de Caraman has set off express
for Paris.

" It is announced that the Sovereigns will give
mutually, a series of fetes to celebrate this happy
epoch. Their stay in this city will, it appears, extend
to from three weeks to• a month."
" PARIS, OCTOBER 5.

" According to advices from Aix-la-Chapelle, the
authenticity of which, we believe, we can warrant,
the dispositions of the Sovereigns towards France,
and their sentiments for the King, permit us to anti-
cipate that the result of their present august meeting
will be as prompt and as favourable as all giiod
Frenchmen can desire. The resolutions which will
be there come to, and which will afford an honour-
able tribute to the virtues and the wisdom of the
Prince who governs us, will, there is no longer reason
to doubt, ensure the repose and prosperity of France,
and put the seal to a sincere and durable reconcilia-
tion among all nations."—Mouiteur.
" M. Count Georges de Catamau arrived here this
morning, by express. lie has brought intelligence
that iu the conference which took place at Aix-la-
Chapelle on the 2d of October, the immediate eva-
cuation-of the French territory was unanimously de-
cided upon. "—Journal des Debats.
It appears from these extracts, that the information
conveyed by the Times was, in its material features,
subsantially correct. The act, agreeing to the eva-
cuation, was rpt, as represented, the act of the So-
vereigns assembled in Congress, but the result of a
preliminary conference among their Ministers, which
remains still to be reported to and confirmed by their
Majesties.
The Sovereigns, in fact, have not as yet had any
formal meeting. The Congress has still to he opened.
That the resolution of the Ministers will receive the
sanction of their Royal Masters there can be little
doubt ; but previously to this, there must be many
relative arrangements to be also adjusted by these
Ministers, with respect to the manner of evacuation,
guarantees, &c. which will probably cause the open-
ing of Congress to be deferred for yet several days
longer. We are corroborated in this view of the fact
by the following extract from an Aix-la-Chapelle
article of the 3d inst. contained in the Brussels Pa-
ws, also received this morning :
" A report is generally circulated that the three
Monarchs will make a journey for four days to the
frontiers of France, and that they will be present at
the military manoeuvres of the Army of Occupation ;
some persons even pretend that their Majesties will
go to Paris, but that they will return hither about
the 15th of this month. It will therefore not be till
that time that we can positively fix Me opening of the
Congress of the Sovereigns."

A Flanders Mail has brought us this morning Brus-
sels Papers to the 6th instant. The passing through
of Count CARAMAN, on his way from Aix-la-Cha-
pelle to Paris, is noticed ; but the substance of the
dispatches of which he was the bearer appears not
to have transpired at Brussels,. as no allusion is made
to them. The following are other Extracts:
