AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, OCTOBER 7.

PRIVATR LETTER.
6 To-day the Fmperor of Austria has appeared In
public for the first time since Sunday last. He paid
a visit this morning to the Emperor Alexander, and
remained with him about a quarter of an hour. His
Imperial Majesty's indisposition was not merely a
political illness, an indisposition to hold a court, or
To *attend a ball on his fete-day, but a real illness
arising a cold, which confined him to his bed-
chamber for a day or two, and required the atten-
dance and aid of his physicians.
The conferences of Ministers on Monday and yes-
tefday were held at the residence of Prince Metter-
nich. On the former day,Lord Castlereagh, imme-
diately after the conference was concluded, waited
upon the. Emperor Alexander. The greatest dis-
patch, as I have formerly observed, is employed in
forwarding the.negociations. The Allied Ministers
generally meet at_ten o'clock, in the morning, and
continue their deliberations till twelve at noon. They
sometimes again assemble in the evening, to consult
each other's views, and to expedite thebusiness of
their mission. The retired nature of the place se-
lected for the. Congress, and the complete absence
of all amusements, are exceedingly favourable to
diplomatic dispatch, both by depriving Ministers of
all motives for a protracted stay, and by allowing
them time to execute their political duties, without

interfering with their social engagements.
" The Sovereigns seem to have nearly as few re-
creations as Charles V. after his abdication, though
they do not i upon themselves his severity 41
penance. The lsneg of Pi trWa gives a sufficient evi;
dente that he feels the evening hang heavy on bri
hand, by frequenting almost every night a wretched'
theatre, which he has not yet been able to induce his
brother Monarchs to visit. All the spectacles that
can be got up, and all the parties that may be club-
bed here, will form but a bad substitute for the ever
varying diversions and splendid novelties of a great
capital like Vienna or Paris. The theatre is unat-
tractive, except to the King of Prussia ; there can be
no military reviews, as there are few troops ; the
relics have been seen, or may be seen in an hour.—
Madame Catalani has not yet begun to sing, and
'cannot sing always ; our Bourgeois balls can have
few attractions for Monarchs or Ministers ; and the
announced experiments of our remale aeronauts are
almost forgotten.
" We havebad to-day, to be sure, a new and un*
expected species of amusement, in a grand display
of the pugilistic art. Each of the allied nations seems
to be here represented by its people as well as by Its
Ministers. France sends its restorateurs and its man-
Otinds de modes, Germany its musicians and jugglers,
and England is represented by its dandies and boxers.
Carter, the champion of England, and Cooper and
Ciregson, calling themselves its first boxers, announced
yosterday their arrival, and advertised a display of
tlioir prowess under the title of dear grand: arsauts
de 45oxe, which were fixed for'to-day and to-morrow.
Thiry accordingly exhibited a sparring match this
mewling on the Old Redoubt, to all who chose to
pay sive francs of admission ; and as they declared
in the it hand-bill, that they had the honour of show-
ing ofk' before the first persons in Europe, a consi-
derable number of English amateurs and foreigners,
not, of ci,urse, of the fancy, attended to witness their
pugilistic skill.
" Count Lieven, the Russian Ambassador at Lass...l
don, arrivrid here last night, accompanied by hSi
Lady and e'aughter, and his Secretary, M. Poggers.

very limited number of female fashionables now In'

society at present here."
" OCTOBER e.
" Tuesday lain General Count Maison, who in the
war of the Rep üblic was Aid-de-Camp to Moreau,
who was afterwards Governor of Paris, and who, as
commander of the troops at Calais, received the King
on his landing in .1814, had a long audience of the
Emperor Alexaner, T, in which a very interesting con-
versation took plac z on the spirit of parties and state
of things in France
" With a perfect .confidence in the future tranquil-
lity of France, thus entertained by Sovereigns and
Ministers, the policy and necessity of the evacuation
was scarcely an oltjact of discussion. The bases of
the convention on this great point were fixed at the
second or third conftrence, without any opposition
from any quarter, or any difference of opinion.
a The general arrangement we believe to be nearly
as we stated it a few days ago—namely, that the
contributions will be paid in nine months from the
signature of the tree.y, either by instalments at the
intervals of two months, or by monthly instalments
of 31,000,000 per mouth; that Messrs. Baring and
Co. are securities for their payment; and that the
troops will leave France about the end of this month.
" The reports•in circulation in London for some
time past, about the disposition of the Emperor Alex-
ander towards the exile of St. Helena, and his de-
termination to make the treatment of which the latter
complains a subject of discussion at Congress, with
the view of procuring an alleviation of his lot, of a
removal of some of the restrictions to which he is
subjected, are totally devoid of foundation.
a It is believed, that in consequence of the decision
of Congress with regard to the evacuation of France,
the Allied troops will be reviewed preparatory to
their departure, between 15th and 20th instant. The
English contingent will be reviewed on the 17th, end,
the Prussian and Russian on the 18th and 19th. The
greatest part of the Prussian troops now in France
will be distributed for the winter in the Prussian Rhe-
nish provinces, a part of them in Westphalia, and a
part on the left bank of the Rhine. Great casernes
are already prepared at Cologne. Numbers will be sta-
tioned at Coblentz and Ehrenbreitstein. Even Bonn,
the seat of the new University, will have a garrison.
a Mr. Clarkson, the zealous friend and indefati-
gable promoter of Slave Trade Abolition, has re-
paired hither to exert himself in the cause of justice
and freedom. Though the Allied Sovereigns now
assembled in Aix-la-Chapelle possess neither colonies
nor slaves, yet their influence must be great over
those States that have not yet completely abolished
the infamous traffic, or have not adopted the most
efficacious means of enforcing the abolition ; and 4uch
influence this apostlenf humanity has come to invoke
in behalf of the Africar.s. There is perhaps little
probability that, skis cit:Nion of the abolitioA will be

MONDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1818.
TILE FUNDS.

TheXxchequer Bills have become quite a drug
upon the Market, in consequence of the sudden and
utfixpested influx of £700,000 on Thursday. This
day they commenced at 18 premium, but after selling
5000 the day they were issued, scarcely any have
been disposed off since—the public will not look at
them. Consols commenced to-day at 75ii, and but
little business doing; several accounts have bsen
made up to-day at that price, to-morrow being the
settling-day.

We have received to-day American Papers to the
20th ult. The part of their contents of most impor-
tance to the English reader is the folios.. ing Order,
which has been issued by the Treasury at Washing-
ton, in consequence of the late Order in Council of
this country, declaring the ports of Halifax and St.
John's open to vessels of the United States for the im-
portation of certain specified articles. It is matter of
real regret that there should be any thing in the re-
strictive colonial system of Great Britain, which
should oblige the Americans, from a principle, as
they declare, of " selt-preservation," not only to spurn
the sort of concession which has been made to them,
but to persist, with increased severity, in the retalia-
tory measures which they have thought it necessary
to adopt. A system of the greatest possible reciprocal
favour would assuredly be the system best suited to
the interests of both countries: •

“ ORDER OF THE TREASURY.

" Comptroller's Office, Aug. 51, 181 6.

" To tlee Collector, &c.

" Sal►--Sbnce the passage of the Act of Congress of thelast
Session, concerning Navigation, an order of the British Council
is understood to have been issued, founded upon an Act of Par..
Lament, whereby the ports of Halifax, in the province of Nova..
Scotia, and St. John's, in that of New Brunswick, have been
opened to vessels of the United States, for the importation of
certain specified articles, and for a term of time limited by the
Act of Parliament to three years and six weeks after the com-
mencement of the Session of Parliament then next ensuing ;
and by the Order of Council, subjected to the further limitation
of contingent further order. As neither this Act of Parliament,
nor the Order in Council, issued under its authority, have ef-
feeted any alteration of the ordinary laws of navigation and
trade, by which the ports of Halifax and St. John's are closed
against vessels owned by citizens of the United States; neither
can they in any manner affect the operation of the Act of Con-
gress, coacerning Navigation, of the lath of April, 1018.
" The ports of the United States will :therefore be closed
Against British vessels from Halifax and St. John's, in like man-
ner as if no such Act of Parli.uuent Jed Ut tier of Council had
been issued.

" It is considered that the second section of the Act ccncern-
ing Navigation. taken with the proviso guarding against any
construction of the Act which might violate the Commercial
Convention of July 3. 1815, leaves a discretionary authority to
dispense with the exaction of the bonds prescribed by that see
tion, In cases of vessels and cargoes manifestly engaged only in
the direct trade between the United States and the British ports
in Europe.
You will, therefore, require those bonds and securities to
be given, for all such articles, laden by British vessels fur expor-
' tatiun from the United States, as ate suitable for the Colonial
market s, or are permitted by the British laws, to be imported
into them.

" Among the articles for which the bonds and securities Must
be taken, are, scantling, planks, staves, beading, boards; shin-
gles, hoops, horses, great cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry, Grille°
stock of any sort; dried, smoked or pickled fish; bread, biscuit,
flour, peas, beans, potatoes, wheat, rice, oats, barley, or grain of
any sort ; pitch, tar, turpentine, fruits, seeds, and tobacco.
'rbe articles upon the exportation of which in rritiOt ves-
sels the bonds and securities may be dispensed with, are cotton,
sugar, indigo, flax seed, coffee, pot and pearl ash, and generally
all articles not of the growth, produce, or manufacture of the
I.lDitcd States.

" In the circular instrections from this department of the
itaith ult. are contained the following words :--• A British vessel
sailing from a port not opened to vessels owned by ritizt us of
the United States, entering a port which is open, unlad there,'
and taking the same or some other cargo on board, and clearing
thence for a port of the United States, cannot be admitted to
an entry.'
" liming been advised that a more extensive construction will
probably be given to these words by some of the Ceilecwrs of
Customs, than the words were intended to convey, I take oc-
casion to observe, that although the expression, ' a port which
is open,' as there used, was meant to have reference more im-
mediately to British colonial ports, yet it is to be construed ::150
as applyineto British ports in Europe, bet rot is an I.,:limited
alms:. A lirittsh vessel taking in a cargo at an occludod purr,
soling, thence for a British European port, there unlading the
same, and taking a new cargo on board, no part thereof haviug

" Towards five o'clock, however, her MAJESTY
bad some recurrence of cough, with slight fever and

THE ARMY.

Thursday a detachment of the 95th Regiment, un-.

Carlisle from Liverpool, to remain till further-orders:'
Preparations are making in the stores of the StOre-
keeper-General of the army, at Portsmouth, to receive
the camp equipage and other articles that will be
brought to England by our Army of Occupation.—
Such of the regiments as are quartered to the west-
ward of Cambray, it is expected will be embarked at
Havre de Grace, and land at Portsmouth.

Among the many reductions intended to be made
in the Ordnance establishments in Ireland, at Bailin.
collig the extensive buildings lately occupied as Pow-
der-mills are to be taken down and the materials sold,
the whole of the Officers of the Civil establishment
are to be reduced, and the Military much below the
present number stationed at that place.
