14...—The great question of the peacoat inn in
which so many parties were so deeply Inielested, be-
ing decided to the salisfeetion of all, the motions of
!he Allied Mini.ters and Siovereigns sr. watched with
firm sossety, and reported with lea' activits, though
their confereaces are nearly as frequent as before,
and their deliberations perhaps riot less important.
France is said still to occupy their attention, not, of
Course, as s Power to be guarded with foreign troops,
or sobjected to expiatory contributions, but as a
State whose past career has been disastrous to Europe,
end whose future movements require to be watched.

arrive here to.morrow or Friday morning, and that of

which no official act can be legally done by some of
the Powers) the ratifications may be exchanged.—

Correa! r ndenta, It may be proper to mention a little
of the history of the last ascent. Madame Reichard,
after being lost among the clouds, to the gaze of the
spectators, was almost lost to her husband among the
&Ids, about eight leagues from this place. She took
the direction of Dusseldorf, and was thought in a fair
way to pass the Rhine to her own country. On her'
first ascending, she was driven by a current of air to-
m arils the north ; she afterwards encountered &current
which carried her towards the north-east. About
half sty hour after, she sailed so majestically over the
city, the balloon was seen for some time hi a ate.
tionary condition. She was obliged to cut the ha.
loon, in order to descend east of Joliers, at a village
4heior there was a wake, which her descent did not a
little dist orb. Her husband announced yesterday tali
hand.-bill, 66 My wife has safely arrived from Joliers
this afternoon." The attempt of Mademoiselle Gar-
serifs to-day will be more hazardous, as she descends
in the parachute, nor will she base for spectators the
illustrious persons nn whose patronage she calkulat.

do the Emperor Alesander more honour than his app

ing him from the balloon to Irish its delightful and.
romantic environs. 'Pere is no company there et
present, bat such a spot does not require the attrac-
tions of rompany. The road which leads to it, and
the scenery which surrounds it, displays more rural
beauty, and more variety of simple and romantic
