the different branches of .the sciences have received
greater development, and the number of students
is augmenting. The Gymnasium has been opened

40.1-L4l-CHAPEL LE, Uer. 10. ,

The negociations of Congress regarding the eva-
cuation of France have proceeded with great rapidity,
and are now confidently stated to be brought to a
close. There have.beee several conferences since I
wrote yon on Thursday. 41tere was yesterd•Y one in
the morning, and another in the eveniug, between
eight and nine, at Prism,- Metternich's. The Duke
of Richelieu was at the last meeting. At this'con-
&relict, the TREATY of ihe•EVACUATION was SIGN en,
and has been to.day RATIYIED by all the Sovereigns
who are here. I hope sery shortly to be able toetend
you a copy of it, or at least its Principal articles.—
It will be remembered, that the French Government
'obtained from the Chambers an eventual' credit
of 21 millions of• retries, to be employed for the
.payment• of the contributions, provided the meas.
(ion took place before the Legislative Body was agile
assembled ; and that Mr. Bating contracted with-the
Ministry (or the whole sum, or whatever part of it'
it might he requisite to raise, at the rate of 67 per
cent. It is now ascertained that only 19 mink's,
and a half of renles will he required to raise the sum
' to he paid by France to the Allies, the principal being
965 millions, which is to be discharged, as I for.
!Hotly mentioned, by instalments, in the course of
nine months. • Mr. Baring continues his conditional'
contract for 12 millions and a half, at the rate of
67 per ant.. As the condi
(.004, however, by the
rise of the French Funds, hare been found more ad.
.vantageous to the contractors than could at first have
Leto inticipated, Mr. Baring agrees to pay fur the
'remaining seven millions of renter, May one and a
,ball per cent. less than the price of the five per cents.
at Paris on the butt inst., or at the rate of 74 per
cent. This will be a gain to France of seven• per
cent. on seven millions of rode:, as ;compared with
the original contract.

Reports are very current here about the imam.
diate withdrawing of the troops; but neither the
particular days of ,their learriog their cantonments,
nor their routes in returning home, are yet fised..-
It is certain that the Emperor of Russia and King of
Prussia have resolved to depart froM Ais•ln-Chapelle
for the, purpose ;of proceeding to the head-quarters
!.of their respective contingents of the army in France,
some (Jail before the 20th instant. If the reviews
take place on the 18th or 19th, the troops may all
have left the French territory by the end of the
month.. The Emperor of Russia spoke, on his ar-
rival here, of visiting Paris before the review ; but
he has now, it is said, given up that intention. His
Imperial Majesty has been for some days indisposed,
and confined in consequence to his hotel. His coin.
plaint, from which he is now nearly recovered, was
Slight. lie intended nn Thursday to have gone to
Spa, on a visit to his sister, and relays of horses were
engaged foi him on the road. These and other ar-
rangements for his journey continued till last night,
when they were coutitermauded. It is not likely,
therefore, that he will leave Ais-la-Chapelle, till be
sets out to review his troops"

LETTBR FROM TDB GRAND MIGHT Of BADEN, OATS°

SEPT. 26.

" The Grand Duke has left Griesbsch bed
gone to the pleasantly situated chateau, the te4
vourile, near Baden. On his arrival his health was
.tolerable, and preparations were making for a vi-it
to a warmer climate. The Councillor of State flu.
felaod had declared for Montpellier, end the Grand
Duke has resolved to follow this advice; but ;Ohio
these few days be has again experienced severe.st-
tacks, wbtch would render p long journey veep diffi.
colt, sad oven hasarduos. To this indispositiou'llare
added the cares of Government, which lie heavy on
the Grand Duke. Bavaria seems inclined to profit
by the arrival of a possible event, in order to enforce
its pretensions, which have been hitherto firmly re-
sisted, and for this purpose it is drawing troops to.
gather, which threaten on several points the posies.
sions of Baden ; but vigorous measures are also
adopted on our side. The absent military are called
in, and two considerable corps posted near Mann-
heim and Freybarg, for the defence of the frontieis.
The Grand Doke depends on his just cause, on the
attachment of his People, on the assistance of his
faithful neighbours and Cu. Estates, and. above all,
on the protection of the Sovereigns assembled at Ais.
la.Chapelle, who, from the obligations which they
have taken on themselves must have at heart the in-
ternal repose of Germany as well as of all Europe."

LONDON:

IMINZIDAY; OCTOBEIV 14, 1118.

TII h: QUF.EJ.
The Bulletin of her MAJESTY'S health issued. this
morning is extremely favourable :
" Kew Polare, Oct. 14.
" The QUEEN pavtrd the whole of yesterday io comparative
ease and comfort, and slept well last sight.
(Sigurd) " H. HALFOrtfl."
Tter MAJCiTT's disorder appears to have again as-
lamed a more composed character. The pally part
of Monday night she passed very indifferently ; and it
was not till towards two o'clock that she obtained
any rest. From that time she became more free from
pain ; and slept et intervals, till after nine o'clock
yesterday morning, when the Physicians issued the
Bulletin. Throughout yesterday, and up. to a late
hour in the evening, her MAJESTY continued without
any very material amelioration of the symptoms of her
disorder. The removal into her boudoir• has been
discontinued since Saturday.

During yesterday dispatches were sent off almost
hourly to Carlton-house, and to the Duke of YORK.
The PalN REGENT visited the Palace at the
usual hour in the ...ening, but his Royal Highness
did not see her MAJESTY. She was still ton much in-
&posed to receive any body but ber medical and
female attendants; and, after hearing the evening re-
port of the Physicians, and conversing about half an
hour with the PRINCESSES, his Royal Highness re-
turned to Carlton•house.

A liemiturgh Mail arrived this morning with Let-
ters and Papers to the 7th inst. Goal. which we have
, made extracts in another column.'
_Pe passage of
the lest English Mail to Hamburgil was so quick, that
they had in that city the latest accuonts from Paris,
by way of London. From Aiz-la-Chapelle nothing
is communicated by the liamhurgh Papers of so late
a date as the private communications we have from
the seat of Congress ; but some important particulars
are given of the menacing attitude assumed by Bava-
ria and Baden, who, in 'the midst of pacific protes-
tations and plans for tranquillizing Europe, appear
on the eve of a war.--Bavaria, in the true spirit
of the Great Powers, who call aggrandisement
justice, and who took upon themselves to give
'the succession of the House of Baden to their
ally, his Bavarian Majesty, without ever adverting
to the consent of the People, or the principle, that
when a Royal Family becomes extinct, the Sore.
reignty reverts to the People, seems disposed not
even to wait the death of the present Grand Duke,
who, though in ill health, is thus obliged to remain
in his kingdom to defend it, but is drawing troops
together at several points, it would appear with the
view of taking immediate possession of Baden.—
The integrity of the territory of the Grand Duke of
BADEN, was secured to him by treaties which he
signed with the Great Powers ; yet these same Al-
lied Powers have decreed the eatioctioa of his

'1

House, and given awe., his People and in....b.".45 (yr.
ritory to the King of BAVARIA. The twee
made cebsions to Assettieliftr which he cqntends he
has not been indemnified. " An indemnity p(
180,000 inhabitants is still wanting" therefore, as
Austria and her great supporters in aggression are
too powerful to be awed into relinquiehtnbat bi
agrarian King, .I*, • good Sovereign, in imitation
of his betters, foils himself necessitated to seize the
territory of his weaker neighbour ! These are the
principles of honour and justice by which the So.
;emirs of the Holy Alliance regulate their conduct.
Now they will act, if such inconsistent and per,
fidious transactions shall lead to fresh scenes of sin.
guinary warfare time must show. What a mortify.
ing reflection for an Englishman, that his country
ehttold appear a party to.these disgraceful acts.
The Emperor At,EkANnza is still to keep up Lew
army. The Hamburgh Nail brings a Copy of tfrb
Proclamation, or Ukase, of the 26th August, to
which we have before adverted, ordering a new Iroy
of recruits throughout the whole extent of his eat.
Aire. Though his Imperisl Majesty, in the two past'
years has had the pleasure of dispensing with thew,.
pual leviei of bis " dearly beloved subjects," and
Peace, we ass told, is more permseeatly keel thok
ever; bti IS not to dispense with the usual draft this •
year. The peace establishment of Russia, iiscluiling
the troops in Poland and ea the French 'sootiest, is
already enormous. •

new find by private accounts, that the coutradittion

DO*, was inserted at the command of the Govern.
anent ; and sue:tract of a letter of the Bth from Paris
even asserts, that several Papers were " suspended"
in consequence of theirlaving given premature into&
Bence:
The Prussian troops in France are marching to Selo
where they are to be reviewed. It would epprat
they are not to be withdrawn far from the Frtoch
frontier. The greatest part of the Prussians now in
France are to be distributed fur the winter in the
Prussian Rhenish provinces, a part of them in West.
phalia, and a part on the left bank of the Rhine.
Great casernes, are already p'repared at Cologne..—
Numbers will be stationed at Coblente and Ehrea-
breitstein. Even Bonn, the seat of the nevi/turn..
I arty, will have a garrison.

There is to be a sale of horses belonging to the
English Contingent, at Carnbray, on the 21th inst.
Several chsni,es are announced among the diplomatic
Agents of Prussia in foreign countries. The Em-
peror of Russtx, in bislnterview with the King of
SAXONY, on his way to Ail-la-Chapelle, is said le
have lavished on the latter professions of friendship,
from which we do not conceive that his Saxon Ma.
jesty will derive neck advantage. These friendly
civilities will neither misstate the despoiled King In
the Kingdom of Poland, t• the succession •f which
he was called near 30 years ago, by the enanin►oss
choice of a free people; nor Will they restore to
him that portion of his hereditary territories which
has been unjustly wrested from him, to indemnify
Pisanis frir the loss of her equally unjust acquisi-
tions in. Poland--The French five per Cents. se-
main nearly stationary, but the price of Bank Stock
has risen considerably. It left off cm Friday at 16801.
We have iIIIIPItta IMO further rituals from• tits
American Papers. The recent condemnation of so
venal American vessels for fishing in the bays and wa-
ters of the British Colonies, seems to. haseezcited a
considerable sensation in the United States. The tide
of emigration from the Mother Country to the Cant•
des continues nesbated, bet we regret to perceite
that, front the want of proper encouragement in
those provinces, ninny of the emigrants find no per-
manent place of set)lement but the United States. •
The Duke-of Rrotwosro, the new Governor.Geno-
ral of the British •North Amosioll Provinces, out ,
according to the last accneets, on the eve of pro.
ceeding on a tour to Upper Canals. We siweffely
hope, that his visit may have the effect of procerist
to the inhabitants, that speedy and equitable redress
of their just complaints, the strenuous advccation of
which appears to have been the whole amount of the
offence imputed to Mr. Gotawor. •
It will be observed, by the articles in this Day's
Paper, that the Inhabitants of Monmouth are pro.
reeding in unison with the rest of the towns and
cities in the kingdom, that have made prsiae•
worthy exertions in favour of Borough Reform. The
system of self-election end nor responsibility in the
Magistrates, and those vested with power over the
property of the community, is so odious, so repug-
nant to common sense, and so detrimental to the in.,
terests of society, that we rejoice in seeing the send.
meat of opposition to it becoming universal.
