OvT. 19.—The decision of Congress, in the affair
of Baden and Bavaria, is said to be, that Baden shall
retain all her former possessions, except a part of the
Tauber Circle, which is to be given up immediately to
Bavaria. If I can depend upon the information I
have received, the ceded district does not contain a
population of more than 3,600 souls. The posses.

Imperial Majesties of Russia end Austria, sod the
King of Prussia; the Grand Dakes Constantine and
Michael, the Prince of Orange, the Prince of Meek-

After performing several - stanaeovres, the little
army defiled before the Sovereigns into a How

*An altar had been previously erected, 'surmounted
with a crucifix (is this Protestant ?)„ and a Protest-

mounted their horse+, and the troops again defiled
before them. At two o'clock a grand dinner was
given to thrinilitary officers now in Aiz.la.Chspetle,
in the hallo! the Hotel ee Ville, where the Emperors
formerly were accustomed to entertain the Prince.
and the Elector% on their Coronation. There went
about a hundred persons present. The three Mot
narcha honoured the c"mpany with their presence,
and were lousily shouted at their arrival .and dews
ture. Madame Cltelarti had announced a concert
for the erelong, which was put off tiff to-day, owing
to an expressed iweallinti of fhb Soiereigne to attend
the Theatre, where the - piece of Jean de Poi: was
ordered for them, and where great crowds had
assembled toter them. The two Emperors had not
yet been there, though the King had ordered dancers,
from Paris to amuse them; nor did they- come me
night, being probably fatigue.' with the beeriness of,
dining and reviewing. The King Of-Prussia nil

were placed on the corners of the greet Fountain,'

The device in the litter case was awkward, as It
seemed intended only to singe the wings of there nobie
birds. The persons of the civil service • here, dined,
at Louisberg, which was likewise illurriinated. Many
of the French, who could not relish these festivities,
iu celebration of a great victory gained over their
arms, left town, and hid their 'feelings for the day,
in conntry retirement. C'est un horrear, they evil
claimed, to celebrate, under the eye of the Duke el
Richelieu and the French Legation, a triumph gained,
over their country, while making a Treaty of lasting
peace with that country. It was certainly ill judged
and indelicate, if the Duke was present at the review,
(as he is said to have been, though we did not see
him), to play the march of the 66 Downfall of Paris".
It was remarked at the review, that the Duke of
Wellington was generally by the side of the Emperor ,
Alexander, and enjoyed the greatest share of his con-
versation.
During the last three days Lord Castlereagh has
bad several confidential conferences with Prince
ilardettberg, reported to be on the subject's! the lase

tier MAixsTY, it appears, continues alarmingly
indisposed. The little rest which she obtains has no
effect in affording her relief. The symptoms are en
incessant cough, accompanied with much pain and
fever. She has suffered so much for the last three
days, and the exhaustion arising from the want of
sleep is so great, that the most serious apprehensions
are entertained of her approaching demise. It is
obvious that each return of the malady is accompanied
by incrresed weakness, and consequently the case
becomes more hopeless.
An account of last night says, " About It o'clock,
the NIINCE REGENT arrived from torus and had
