According to what transpired the Government is con.
'bleed that the Army of Deception will leave
France at the end of October and the beginniog of
November. This happy news acquires a degree of
certainty by several measures .taken st the Head-
quarters of the Allied troops of the centre and right
wing. It is said that the English Government bas
hired a sufficient number of vesseis to fetch from Cs.
lais and Boulogne the English Army, about 22,000
strong.. ft is even affirmed that the Legion of the
North, in garrison at Paris, which is reaumkahle foe I

, animates it, is to resume possession of Valenciennes,
and will, make part of the garrison of this place.—
The snoment of the liberation of the French territory
,will be celebrated by public fetes and rejoicings. for
what truly French heart has not sighed at seetug the
couutry occupied by foreigners ?

i FRENCH PAPERS.

Rum, Sen. Ss.—The King heard Maas yester•
day in 'the chapel of the palette. Ills Wiese's, sur-
rounded by Madame and the Princes of Ilia Royal
Family, appeared at the balcony of the glass O-
kay, where his presence eacited the liveliest accla-
mations.

The number of strangers who had arrived at Aix.
la-Chapelle to she 171 h of September amounted to
10,117. It is said that a Grandee of Spain is at
Ais-la•Chapette, where be maintains the strictest
incognito.
The Court of Assisi,. at Aisda.Chapelle has
condemned to death two persons, named Ilenrs
Bergmann and Chretienne Liffert, convicted of a
horrible murder. The female convicted of parri-
cide is condemned to has• her hand cat off, and
then to be led to the scaffold, having her head co-
vered with a black veil, end her feet naked. She
• hod been married to a French soldier, who formed
part of the espadition to Russia, and of whom no
account has since been heard. She then intrigued
with Bergmann , a soldier who bad survived thedisastere
of 1812. The mother of Chretienne Liffert for a
long time opposed ibis criminal union, of which two
children were the Gaits. The unhappy mother paid
dearly for her resistance to the scandalous commerce
of her daughter with her paramour. They devised
the project of making away with her. She was re.
turning one day with her daughter from the market
of Nitnegees. Arrived et the park of Cleves, the
►laughter asked her mother if she still persisted in op.
posing her onion with Bergmann. To this she re-
plied its the affirmative, using at the same time re-
proaches. On a concerted signal Bergmann, who
bad placed himself in.ambush, in a place pointed out
by his mistress, appeared, and repeated the same
question, and on her refusal, he flung the unhappy
woman on the ground, and inflicted on her thirteen
ounds with a knife, the daughter holdiarthe mother
while she struggled to defend herself against the
assassin.
The Brussels Papers announce a tragic event which
took place in that city, upon the night of the 24th
inst. A widower, of a respectable French family,
had resided in Brussels for several years with his son
and daughter, upon whom be lavished all his fond.
-seas. Within a few days he gave some symptoms of
mental alienation, but he still did not seem to he
wholly deranged in his understanding. On this
night, Shout one o'clock, having armed himself wish
two pistols, he proceeded to his daughter's apartment,
to murder her. But snatching up a sstro'rd he at-
tacked, and inflicted sis wounds, of which two are
thought to be mortal. The wretched victim of her
father's madness had strength enough still left to rise
and flee, but the father pursued her doors the stairs,
until she found refuge in a cellar. The madman then
returned to seek hilt son, but the youth hearing his
sister's screams had so effectually secured the door of
his chamber, that his father could not foiti it open.
After many vain attempts he sought the female sere
rant, whom he found, and murdered, by repeated
blows from the pommel of the sword, when he closed
the horrid scene by throwing himself from the win-
dow. • Ile was found dead upon the pavement. He
had ou the day preceding engaged three places in the
diligence for Paris, whither he intended to proceed
with his children, and his baggage had already been
sent to the Post-house.• It is not known whether any'
distressing circumstance has contributed to Shia sud-
deu of his undentauding.

The feverish symptoms with which her fliercsvv
was affected on Wednesday evening, gradually seb•
sided, and soon after eleven o'clock she sunk into an
apparently comfortable repose, and slept for several
hours. She awoke, however, without the least im-
provement in the general state of her health. At

A Dutch Mail, which arrived this morning, has
hrosight some curious information. The letters from
Germany affirm, that her Majesty, NLAHIA LOUISA,
has prevailed on her father. the Emperor of AUSTRIA,
to support the proposals which are to be made at
Aix-la-Chapelle, we suppose by the Emperor of
RussfA, to remove NAPOLEON to a climate afore
suited to his health, and where he may follow his
usual habits. It is added, that Count LAS CASA! has
drawn up a memorial.to this effect, and that be has
written on the subject to the*Doke of RICHELIEU.
It is possible, says the Ghent Journal, of the 27th
ult. in making this statement, that this Minister, who
is allowed to have elevated views, may see that it is
politic to deprive RONAPA.RTE of the interest at
'ached to great Misfortune.. NAPOLEON in fetters,
and resigned in the midst of sufferings, excites ad-
miration and pity. Happy, end without apparent
restraints, be would not be less great, but landau.
gerous, in the political sense of the werd. All the
Journals, both National and Foreign, which ere
written without passion and meanness, have express..
ed the same sentiments of justice and and generosity
which nature has implanted in souls that are not de-
praved by hatred and self-interest.
These are certainly more liberal ientiments then
we could well expect to see promulgated In Papers
directly under the controol of the Governments
which have sanctioned the croel measure of deport.
ing NAPOLEON to St. Helena; and we may perceive
in the sympathy thus ondisguisedly expressed for the
situation of the illustrious exile, greater in his patient
endurance of accumulated calamity than his puffed-up
`Red self-styled conquerors in the midst of ail their pomp
ene successes, the opinions that are entertained on the
;Continent of the treatment to which our Governors
have subjected this eminent victim of jeatoosy, pride,
petulance, and 'misfortune. We hope the statement
its the German letters will be verified. It is pen
taps wonderful that the affections of a wife should
not have already produced this effect. Until:Wl:44i
such act of humanity shall be performed tewterds
their fallen but noble foe, by. the Sovereigns upon
whom he had mercy evOn to foolishness, we shall
deem the vaunted magnanimity of the Emperors and
Kings of the Holy Alliance, nothing but hollow
cant and disgusting' hypocrisy.
We are next told from Brussels. of the 27th.
timeously and appropriately enough to give a decided
contradiction to the French assertion that the removal
of the Army of Occupation would be the only subject
that will forfnally engage tbedeliberations of theassem-
blingPowers.that tbereare reasons for believing,t ha t at
the Congress at Aiz-la Chapelle, there will be amide
