floozie Couttenoxorece, Obe. 4.—There has
been no conference to-day, on account of the inditpo.
sition of the Ressien Minister, Count Cape d'lstris.
This being the fete day of the Emperor of Metric, it
was expected that be would go to the Cathedral
Church in great state, and that he would afterwards
hold a Court, at which ell tit* Foreign Ministers and
the suites of the different Sovereigns would be pre.
minted ; bet this expectation was disappointed in-'
both cases, by the indisposition of his Imperial Ma-
jesty. The Doke of Kent arrived here last night,,
and was this mdrning visited by the Emperor Ales..
ander. His Royal Highness being lodged' at the
doubt, in -the most frequented pert et the city, et
a great crowd collected about Aleitaisder when he
alighted, and shouted Fife l'Etripereur, the words
to which they were trained in the time of Boaapertes
A Shift/fore' two o'clock, Lord Castlereagh waited.,
open his Royal Ilighntes, sod offered him the use
of his carriage 'to the botel of the King of Prussia,
where a grand dinner was given to the Emperor,
Alexander atid all the Allied Ministers. The party.
began to arrive about htilf.patt one, and the dinner.
,was over before four. The Emperor of Aostria.wiro
absent, from the same indispOsitiors which- pretreated,
_him from receiving c-ospany is the morning. Lie-i
tildes the Emperor of Rossi; we observed the 'rant
of the Duke of Kent, the Duke of Wellington, Ime4
Castleresgh, the Duke of Richelieu, Prince Mena;
nich, Prince Hardenberg, Prince Witgenstein, and
several other great political and military characters: A
great bell is given by the city to-night, in honour of the
Allied Sovereigns, andthefefe of the Emperor of Aus-
tria. The Sovereigns and the Ministers are expected to
weed. About a thousand tickets have beendist abet.
ed. Among the number of strangers whom theCongreeo
hes attracted to Aiz-la.Chapelle, we observe the
tx-
!Anted Mr. Owen, of New Lanark,- who haajwat
' Come from Frankfort on the Maine. lie repaired to
that city to present a Memorial to the Diet. This
Memorial be is come here to present to the Allied
Sovereigns sod Ministers. It is printed in three dif-
ferent languages, in English for Lord Castlereagh,
and in French end German for the other great Per-
sonages of Congress. lie left the Diet discussing the
military organization of Germsny, without receiving
any answer to his pacific project, or being called
open to explain its details. The great number of
Russian and Prussian Statesmen here is remarkable,
1 while Lord Castlereagh himself is the Atlas of the
English Legation. His suite consists of young un-
known Lords, whom he cauuot present among Eu-
ropean Diplomatists.
Ocycreza s.—The Doke of Kent left Aiz-la•Chu.
pelle this morning at eight o'clock. The question of
the evacuation of France is now talked of in all so-
cieties as decided. As yet 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 dif-
ficulty in the ulterior arrangements, and in the set-
tlement of the securities, will arise, it is said, on the
part of Prussia. This Power, it will be remembered,
showed the greatest dissatisfaction at the delays that
occurred in the, affair of .the virtue reclamation', awl
probably dreads similar inconveniences in the pay-
ment of the contributions, unless the guarantees shall
he altogether unexceptionable. The general details
which I sent yea es prospectively those to be adopted,
are in the main correct, and will meet the views of
all the Powers.
The ball given by the City last night was very
brilliant, and will be long remembered in the annuls
of the Redoubt of Ais-la-Chapelle. The houses op-
posite the ball-room in this pile of buildings were
illuminated. Prussian gendarmes on foot and horee•,
back attended, to keep order and clear the streets for
the carriages. The company began to arrive at seven
o'clock. Every carriage in the town and neighbour-
hood was put in requisition, and many of them, like
our coaches employed in bringing electors to the poll,
Warned sod brought successive quotas. The Empe-
ror of Russia end King of Prussia arrived about eight
o'clock, with their suites. The Emperor was dressed
in a Pressian uniform. They were, of course, the
principal objects of attraction during their stay,which
was nearly an beer and a half. Nor were they idle
spectators of the gaiety of the scene, or inactive
spectacles for the public gaze. Their Imperial and
Royal Majesties danced a Polonaise with great spirit
with the Duke of Kent, the Duke of Richeliee, Lord
Castlereagh, and other distinguished persons, the
Princess of Toot and Taxis, her daughter, the De.
these of Kent, the Countess of Metternich (sister-in.
law of the Minister), Indy Castlereagh, 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
were priectipally quadrilles and waltzes. There was
only one ceeotry-dance, which was arranged by Gen.
Meissen, and composed of M. Gaut., Ike Berge,
master, and other merchants of the city. The ball
did net Conclude till midnight.

STATE ofd FAIRS is SPAIN.
A letter fetal Madrid of the plat ult. communi-
cates the following particulars
" The dismissed Ministers set off for their des.
death's, on the night of the 14th—M. Pisarro, far
Valencia; M. Garay, for La Almon ia (Arragon); sod
M. Vasquez Figueroa, for Santiago (Galicia). The
cause of their disgrace is yet a matter of great ape.
Culation ; bat people well informed ascribe it to the
influence of the King's Confessor, M. Beacom° the
Patriarch of the Indies, and the Pope's Nendo.—
These individuals, it is supposed, have come to the
assistance of Mews. F.goia and Lozano de Torres,
the former Minister of War, and the latter at the
head of the Department of Jostles.' The aim of the
measure, although studiously concealed, is believed
to be to put a check to the financial plans of M.
Garay in the part which has relation to the Clergy.
Nothing demonstrates it snore than the attempt made
at Torija (a village near Gsadalazara), by a crowd
instigated by some priests, against the person of M.
Garay, who was obliged to fee in the middle of the
night la order to prevent any mischief. The new
Minister of Finance endeavours to inculcate that his
intention is to carry into mention the plans of his
predecessor, and for that perpose he will publish very
soon a circular addressed to the Intendants and Tax-
. gatherers.
