at Has 'Waved to offer a very fa-
vourable opportseity to regulate certain points which
It has, been long attempted to arrange between Prus•
sia and the Netherlinds. In consequence Ministers
of the latter Power will go to Aix-la-Chapelle to
treat with 'those of the Coett of Berlin on those
poiiits ; it is said that one of those is the rectifica-
tion of the frontiers, or rather the settling some dis-
puted points arising from this rectification. It is
probable that there will be some exchanges of ter-
ritory between Prussia arid the Netherlands, but
these exchanges will not be very considerable.
It is affirmed positively, that the King and Queen
of Wirtemberg will be here in the strictest incognito
at the arrival of the Emperor Russia, arid to go a few
days after to Brussels where they will spend a fort-
night with the Princess of Orauge.
The Grand Duke or Baden intended also to come
hither, but his health not allowing it, he will send
his Minister of State, Baron Borstell, who will ap-
pear at first as a private person, but is invested with
full powers to regulate definitively all the relations of
the Grand Duchy of Baden which may be terminated
here, because Bavaria appeals to the Treaties con-
cluded by the great Powers concerning the indemni-
ties to be given to Bavaria for its cessions to Austria.

THE PROPOSED MEDIATION RET'WEEN
SPAIN -ND THE AMERICAN COLONIES. .

As the attention of the several Sovereigns and Mi•
nisters at the proposed Congress has been called to
the question of mediation between Spain and her
Sooth American Provinces, and pledges have been
given that the basis proposed shall be liberal, we un-
derstand the following to be the grounds stated l►y
the moderate party of Independents; on which, if
the subject is actually brought forward, any delibe-
ration likely to be effectual can be held:-
1. Geuerol oblivion of the past, and no injury or
molestation to occur to the persons or properties of
those who may have taken pert in the lievoluti.m.
2. Perpetual abolition of the Inquisition and Tor.
tarp. _ _

3. Pepetual abolition of an exclusive Privilege
(Faeroe), all persona being equal in the eye of the
Law, and all to he rewarded or punished according
to their merits or demerits.

4. Abolition of all Government Monopolies
(Rear:cos), and of inland Custom-hooses.
5 Freedom of the Press • and Commerce with all
Nations; of Agriculture, and of all kinds of industry.
6. E.tiblishmenta of Chambers of Representatives.
7. The King to sanction all Acts of the Chambers.
8. Religious toleration ; but the Catholic Worship
to predominate.
9. Perpetual abolition of Fcclesiaatical Tithes ; but
the espences attending Divine Worship and its
Ministers to be defrayed from contributions to be
raised en account of the State, in order to avoid 'the
enmity between the Pastor and his flock, which is
generally produced by ecclesiastical imposts, and the
irremediable abuse inseparable from them.
10. The King to nominate to all employments, giv-
ing them to A merican. and Spaniards iodised mina (ply.
11. The Military Force to be composed of natives
alone, according to regulations to be made by the
Chambers, with the King's approbation.
12. AU Trials to be public, and by means of a
Jury.
13. The Judges to he for Life, and independent of
the King; but the King to have the appointment of
them.
14. Foreign Powers to have Consuls in America.
15. Foreigners of all Nations to be allowed the
privilege of establishing themselves in America.
16. The Sovereignty of the King of Spain, and
his Successors, to be acknowledged in America, and
the oath of Allegiance and Fidelity to be taken
agreeable to the aformentioned articles.
17. The infraction of any of the above Articles
by the Spanish Government, to constitute the abso.
lute independence of America from that Government :
and in this case the Allied Sovereigns shall acknow-
ledge them by an interchange of Envoys or Ant-
bassadors.
18. The Allied Powers conjointly and separately
to guarantee to America the full and entire accom-
plishment of all the foregoing articles.
As Spain herself has implored the mediation of the
Allied Powers, and her Note offered to submit to
their decision, provided it was compatible with the
preservation of the King's rights and dignity, it is
further understood that their mediation on the afore.
said terms will be first proposed to the Spanish Go-
verment, for their own previous adoption at borne,
and if not acceded to, they wilt proceed no further
in the business; but if accepted by Spain, the same
will then be profered to the Independent Govern-
' meats of America.

MON!: AM, SEPTEMBER 282 181 8.

THE QULEN.

The Bulletin of her MAJESTY'S health issued yes.
terday, stated that the QUEEN had enjoyed some
deep in the course of the night, but that she still la-
boured under the same symptoms of disease. The
Official Bulletin of this morning is as follows :

" Kew Palace, Sept. 28.

' The Qat= feekherself somewhat refreshed this morning,
her Marttsry having slept well in the night.
(Sighed) s' F. 111 I LMA N,
gg 11. 11ALFORD.”

•
._us appears, that the comparative ;Me of
ease end comfort, in which her MAJESTY has passed
the last three nights, has not been productive of ay.,
alleviation io the general symptoms of her disorder.
Okthe contrary, her malady obstinately continues to
hold on its course. in spite of the utmost skill and
ezertions of the Physicians. It is, therefore, but too
evident, as we have before observed, that the sleep,
which she occasionally appears to enjoy in the night,
is merely an caress of torpor, brought on by her
sufferings through the day, and by the additional aid
of opiates; for though, on awaking, she sometimes
appears a little renovated, the alteration rarely con-
tinues more than an hour or two.

Her MAJESTY within these last two days, has
complained of a painful tension and sense of weight
nn the right side; end she is at the same t;me trou-
bled with a slight hectic cough ; both of which symp-
toms, we understand, indicate a diseased liver, end
corroborate our former remarks on the nature of her
complaint. On Saturday evening, the cough was
very troublesome, with a considerable accession of
fever ; but, towards the middle of the night, these
onfavourable symptoms again subsided a little, and
the Royal Patient sunk into that torpid and lethargic
repose, in which she always remains when not under
the influence of pain.
About four o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday,
the Princess AUGUSTA received a letter, by espress,
from the Princess SOPHIA, announcing that her Royal
Ilighness was seriously indisposed. Sir FRANcrs
M MILAN had previously left the Palace, fur his
house at Pinner. A messenger was, in consequence,
sent after him, to desire his instant return, whilst Sir
HENRY HALVORD prepared to set out for Windsor.
In the meantime the PRINCE REGENT arrived from
Carlton-house, and Sir HENRY HaLroan had an im-
mediate interview with him, when he departed for
the Castle, in his own carriage, but with the horses
and servants of the Princess AUGUSTA. The PRINCE
did not remain more than half an hour at the Palace,
and then returned direct to Carlton-house.

Y esterday morning, at seven o'clock, Sir licrutY
BALrottn returned from visiting the Princess So-
emA ; and, having signed the Bulletin of the day,
and had so interview with her MAJESTY and the
PRINCESSES, he again went back to Windsor, whence
he once more returned to the Palace.

Dutch and namburgh Mails arrived this morning,
conveying a variety of particulars respecting the
movements of the Sovereigns,Ministers,and Generale,
preparatory to the opening of the Congress at Aix-
la-Chapelle. The important Meeting, upon which
the future destiny of nations is to rest, his by this
time taken place. Confident expectations seem to
be entertained on the French frontier of the speedy
withdrawing of the Allied armies, and great prepara-
tions are making for celebrating the event by public
festivities. It seems probable that there will he some
exchanges of territory between Prussia and the
Netherlands. The differences between the Austrian
Court and that of Bavaria will present some ticklish
points to the Mediators. Bavaria appeals to the Treaties
concluded by the great Powers, concerning the in-
demnities to be given to Bavaria for its cessions to
Austria. The King of Pnussta is endeavouring to
solace his sebjects (or the postponement sine die of the
fulfilment of his promises to grant them Representa-
tive Constitutions, with the erection of an iron mo-
nument in the capital 46 to all those who shared in
time struggle for liberty and right." The best monu-
ment would be the establishment of a liberal Consti-
tution, to confer the enjoyment and ensore the pre-
Iservation of that liberty and right, for which so many
perished in the field of battle ; but the iron age is
not yet passed, and an iron pillar is all that the
Prussian People are to have for the exertions which
they so strenuously made for " liberty and right."
The following are extracts
FRENCH FRONTIERS, SEPT. 20.—The
Duke of Richelieu arrives to day at Cambray on his
way to Aix-la-Chapelle; the chief object of his mis-
sion is to urge the evacuation of the French territory
by the Allied troops. At Cambray he was to have
some conferences with the Commanders-in-Chief of
the Army of Occupation, and then to proceed to
Aix-la-Chapelle by way of Brussels.
Lord Castlereagh will leave Spa about the 24th
or 25th.

The Governor of Lille lately gate public notice to
the inhabitants of that city, that the Svson troops
were going to be exercised both with artillery and
musketry, to prevent all absurd reports. The in.
habitants of the Northern departments are fully per.
suaded of the speedy departure of the Allied troops,
and are preparing to celebrate it by public entertain-
ments.
BRUSSELS, SEPT. 23.—The *Doke of Wellington
set out this morning for Aix-la-Chapelle. During
the Congress his Grace will be accompanied by a very
numerous suite. The necessary preparations are
making in his Hotel in that city, to give brilliant en.'
tertainments. • • .

BERLIN, SEPT. 19.—The day before yesterday
(Thursday. 17th) his Majesty the Emperor Ales.
ander arrived here from St. Petersbergh, which city
he left on the 7th. His Majesty, oar King, went to
Copenick to meet hisnugust friend, whence their Me.
jesties mode their solemn entry into Berlin, between
the files of troops, amounting to 24,000 men of all
arms, and welcomed by the tilling of bells end dit.
charges of artillery. As the troops filed off before
the Royal Palace, his Majesty the Emperor placed
himself at the head of his Prussian Regiment of Gm
oadiers while it passed before the King. The EL
peror wore the uniform of his Prussinn Regiment and
the Order of the Black Engle; our King and all the
Princes wore the Order of St. Andrew.

The Emperor goes to.morro. to Potsdam, and
thence to Stutgard and Weimar.
The King sets out for Ail-la-Chapelle on the TM.

His Mnjesty the King has issued the following
Cabinet Order respecting the Memorial of the two
last wars to be erected near Berlin :
" To the Defenders of the country in the yeas
1813, 1814, and 1813.

" Now that monuments to the fallen heroes have
been erected on the remarkable fields of battle, it is
my wish to erect also a monument of iron in the
capital of the kingdom to my faithful People, wad io
particular to all those who shared in the struggle for
liberty and rights, as a common acknowledgment of
generous devotion to their King and Country. The
first stone of the foundation has been this day laid.
The solemnity of thin act was heightened by the
presence of my august friend and ally his Ms.
jesty the Emperor of Russia. In the space
of a year this monument will be completed;
on honourable recollection for the valiant con.
batants of the memorable period, and a terioss
warning to the youth of the kingdom to miles
them in valour, and in true attachment to their King
and Country.

SAXON Y, SEPT. 17.—A Leipzig Paper says," The
trade in colonial goods from flomborgh to Dresden
continues to become more and more brill. ; for
uhich reason many Leipzig houses have establish.
menti there. In every case Dresden will become
a very considerable piece of commerce, 'rhea the
principles of the free navigation of the Elbearetega-
lated.—(liarnburgh Paper, Sept. 22.)

Philadelphia and other American Papers to the
Vith ult. bare reached uc. The last ad vices from
Venezuela and vicinity mention, that owing to the
rainy season all the military operations had been
suspended, that the Patriots had retired to their
strong holds on the Oronoco, and the Spaniards
were cantoned in the Caraccas. BOLIVAR had re-
moved himself, or had been removed from the head
of the Revolutionary Army, and had assumed the
Civil Authority at Augustura. General PArz, en
Officer of great experience and courage, had taken
the chief command of the army, with Gen. MARINO
for his second. He had his head-quarters at St.
Fernando, where the English auxiliaries are.
An article from Norfolk states the etriril of a
vessel from Aux-Cayes, which brings intelligence of
Ctintszoewz withdrawing his forces, which it had
been reported were intended to attack Port-as-
pi ince.

The French Papers, which have been received to
the 15th inst., inform us, that King Louts was pre-
vented from taking his accustomed excursion on Toes-
day, by a slight attack of the gout, but was in suffi-
cient health to give a private audience in the morn-
ing to the Austrian Minister, who delivered to.hiat
a letter from the Emperor FRANCIS, and to hold,
after Mass, a Levee, at which all the Foreign Mini-
sters attended. Next day his. Majesty was able
to
preside at a Council of Ministers. The statement'
in there Papers respecting the movements of the
Sovereigns and Diplomatists towards Aia•la-Cha•
pelle, and the political rumours connected with bham,
are anticipated by the Flanders Journals.

Thursday the Royal Family received letters from
the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE.
A few days since letters were also received from
