DITIVII MAIL,.

FRANK FORT, OCT. Is.—The littlest accounts from
Car!lrishe say, that the reigning FArepress of Russia,
110(1 the Margravine her mother, are gone from
Brachial to visit first the chateau La Favorite and
afterwards Baden.
The journey of the Grand Duke to tbi-Sootk of
France is again spoken of, and it is affirmed it will
take place after this visit. Accounts from Menheim,
of the 10th, sly, " As soon as orders Mere given to
call in the military, 50 caissons and baggage waggons
were sent from here to Gottesau, near Cslsruhe,w hich
was considered as a measure of precaution.
" The absent military are now all arrived, and
the barracks not being ►oomy enough to receivethem
all, from 12 to 15,000 men are quartered on the in.
habitauts. It was imagined, at first, that the troops
are called together because the Grand Duke's dis-
order took a more serious turn ; but it is now sup.
pos►•d to have been done merely to give more weight
to his declared resolution, not to cede ae inch of
ground in the Palatinate of the Rhine. I► is, how-
ever, not true, that the Lendwehr has been called
together, as has been said in Foreign Journals. The
Grand Duke's disorder is not worse, but as his Royal
Highness suffers by water iu the chest, there is little
hope of his recovery."
We learn, from the same account, that a report is
current in Baden, that one of the great Powers con-
nected with the Grand Duke's family by the ties of
blood, hart guaranteed the succession of the Grand
Duchy of Baden, without any cession of territory, to
the son of the Cs-King of Sweden, now Count of
Gottorp. This report, however, is not implicitly
credited.

HAARLEM, OCT. 20.—Letters from the French
frontiera, of the 6th, say—". The materiel belong-
ing to the Danish and Hanoverian corps is to be. em-
barked at Dunkirk, The equipages of the British
troops are to pass through Flanders, and by way of
Ghent to Antwerp, there to be embarked. The
English troops are to he embarked at Cahis in four
successive divisions. Immediately after the depar-
ture of the foreign troops the Duke of Angouleme
will visit the northern departments of France."
Entree of a private letter from Madrid, Oct.
" There has been talk of a voluntary of forced loan
of seven and a half or ten millions. Every proposal
that has been made has failed. The Bank cannot
even pay the holders of its shares.
The new Minister mast have recourse to other mea-
sures. It is impossible to guess what plan he will
adopt. Ile is placed between the necessities of the
State and the fate of his predecessor. The Public
justly appreciate the embarrassment in which he is
placed, and even go so far as to bint at his successor,
as well as the succession of the Marquis de Cass
Irujo. This is premature: however, the Ministry, as
it is now composed, can evidently be but temporary.
" His Majesty the Emperor Alexander has been
pinned to make our Sovereign • present of three
beautiful frigates, which are every moment expected.
It is said they are le the place of three of the ships
bought in Russia, which were found to be in bad
condition."

ANTWERP, Om 18.—It appears that no part of
the Army of Occupation in France, except the Da.
nigh and Hanoverian troops, will pass through the
kingdom of the Netherlands.
According to lists drawn up by order of the Em-
peror Alextrider, it appears that since the year 1814,
4,14,000 urea have been discharged from the Russian
stymies.
rfbiie we have here the finest weather, the Tyrol
►ee been covered with anew since the beginning of
Ms month.

LtINDULV:

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 241 1818•

• TIIE QUEEN.
The Bulletin of this morning represents her MA.
IBITY as remaining without amendmeni,the 6' short,
as usual, and disturbed repose" which she seems to
hate obtained last night having had no effect on her
general complaint•. The 011icisi notice is signed by
only one Physician, and is as fellows:-
1 " Kew Palace, Oct. V.

The Queen's complaint remains the same. Her MAJESTY
has bad woe good sleep in the might.
(Signed)

N H. HALFORD."

The private Iccounts state, that her MAJESTY was
very restless all yesterday, and that no beneficial ef-
fect was expected from any momentary repose which
she might obtain. The PRINCE REGENT arrived from
Brighton, at xis o'clock, accompanied by Sir BEN.
JAMIN BLOOMFIELD, and after receiving the evening
Report of the Physicians,his Royal Highness remained
to dinner with the Particassgs.—The Duke of YORK
also visited the Palace, in the course of the day, but
neither the PRiNCE REGENT nor the Royal Duke saw
l:er MAJivrY. She was too much &masted to re•
viva them.

The proceedings of the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle
are still enveloped in mystery. Though the atten-
tion of the world is naturally directed to their pro-
ceedings in anticipation ofetrents—though the hap-
piness of nations is deeply concerned in their deci-
sions, the solid knows, no more of these.delibera.
tions than if they were held in the Moon.. The sur-
face lies before us smooth and unruffled ; but.were we
to penetrate beneath it for a little, we doubt not we
should find many discordant elements. The policy
of concealment, we may therefore presume, grows
out of this confwsiois of ill-assorted materials.—
Europe, like South-America, seems hastening to some
mighty change ; for it is impossible that the system
which the antiquated Governments of despotism seek
to perpetuate!, should long be maintained against the
universal light that is beaming on every side upon
mankind. It is now necessary to torn attention from
Fiance to As other countries where liberal notions
are gaining ground daily, where the natural effect of
such meutal improvement is to discern national end
individual interests more clearly, to estimate justice
and wrong with an independent mind, and to de-
mend Administrations corresponding with. the in-
terests, the rights, and the state orsqciety.:. ft has
been said that the great question would be discussed
among the European Powers, whether, having 'sop-
pressed Revolution at home, they will allow it its
full chance of flourishing in America, with a possi-
bility of beitig spin transplanted back to Europe?—
We have no evidence that this question has not en-
gaged, nor any assurance upon which we can rely,
that it does not at present, or will engage the atteri-
tion of the. European Conclave, who ore deliberating
at Ail-la.Chapelle. Vi'e think that whatever may be
their means or the subjects of deliberation, their in-
clination is to give neither America nor Europe
any such liberty at they desire. Germany, however, is
,
at present the nearest and the dearest interest, and
the unsettled state of the public mind there is not to
be concealed. That a considerable fermentation pre.
rails throughout the empire is confirmed by the ob-
servations of all who have lately visited those coun-
tries. Without going further into the question, to
ourselves it must be flattering to perceive that the
universal desire of enlighteued nations is to approxi-
mate their forms of Government to our own, and.
Englishmen will not fail to rejoice at any measures
which can tend to give to others the free Constitution
which they ought and desire to enjoy themselves.

French Papers to the 21st, and Mail. from Hol-
land with Journals to the 22d, have arrived. The
evacuation of Prance is begun. The /motion troops

_ .
commenced their retreat over the Rhine on the 16th.
It is said that considerable desertion had occurred in
the Austrian army, particularly from among the
Hungarians. The Prefect of the department of the
Lower Rhine has (no doubt et the desire of General
Fatmost) issued a Circular to the Mayors, requir-
lug them by every means to discountenance this de-
sertion from the Austrian army, and not to suffer
deserters to receive protection withlo their districts.
It is stated that the materiel belonging•to the Danish
and Hanoverian corps is to beemharked at Dankirk.
at the equipages.of °trek° pa are to pass through
`Flanders, and by way of at to Antwerp, there to
be embarked, and that troops themselves are to
be emearked at Calais, in "successive divisions.

GOULEME will hisit the itertherredepartaiNits of

and Costheim,. to tht; ConferVisration ; std its° the
"t mainder of the five Minns of frettts 'destined toe
the completion of the rks of the former place, pro.
vidrd the Confederation will,, on its part, supply all
the annual expences of keeping op the fortresses,
Mishout reckoning the pay of troops; will procotta
avalcricl of artillery for Mentz and Cassel ; and nit'
reimburse Austria and Nasal' for the last espences
of that sort incurred by them. The Diet resolved
unanimously to submit the Note, and its bossed
Documents, to the different Courts. It is rumoured
that the son of the Eu. King of SWEDEN is likely to be
raised to the Grand Ducal Sovereignty of Bilden.,
The present Duke is labouring under a severe Wis.
position, which is not a little aggravated by an at.
Itack of the Congress malady, so that there hint
little hopes of his recovery.

The iniettioinee from Paris, in these Papers, k of
little interest. The king continues to transact b►ta.
tress with his Ministers, and to hold Levees, at which
the Generals of the old army are now appearing is
greater numbers. The number of young men re.
quired for the City of Paris, amounting to 409, for
the classes of 1816 and 1817, were drowsy oa Mon•
day, in the lintel de Ville of that Metropolis. Five
Officers of the regiment of Douay Artillery se.
ceived orders, on the 14th instant, to go immedi.
ately to Maubeuge, Conde, Landrecy, Bnuchain,
and Cambray, to take possession of the artillery of
those places, in. the name of the King of France, im.
mediately after the departure of the Allied troops.—
By a decision of the French Minister of Finance,
Rochelle has been recently added to the other free
ports for the exportation of refined sager. '
The accounts from Spain wear the same fel*.
that have marked all the recent political events. It
is confirmed from Madrid that the Count De Avouc
is to be superseded in the command of the expedition
fitting out, at Cadiz by General FR .s That
Grand Harlequin, FERDINAND VII. has transoi•
grated the late Minister of Finance, M. GARAY,
into his original cbaracter of Director of the Canal
at Saregossa.—A private letter from Madrid by the
Dutch Maio, speaks of the great ernbarressment its
which the new Minister of Finance is placed. Re
-rennet raise his Loan by say means. M. PIZARRO
is said to be placed under a most rigorous surveillances
and they even talk of his being to be brought to trial.
The last letters from Constantinople, by way of
Vienna, confirm fully the news of the dreadful dis-
turbances which recently shook that capital, and of
which the Janiisarles were the prime movers. They
describe the energy and presence of mind displayed
by the GRAND SEIGNIOR under such elides} circum-
stances, and assure us that he has o arm resolution
of new-modelling the Janissaries, or if he cannot
succeed in that, of replacing them by souther corr.
The new CAPTAIN PAGIIA is portrayed as a moot
energetic man, who Kill execute with vigour the or-
ders of the GRAND SEIGNIOR. It is said the GRAND
VIZIER temporised too much, and did not show suf-
ficient courage; and that, therefore, it will be impos.
sible for him.,to keep himself at the head of affairs.
Quietness had been apparently re-established in Con-
stantinople; but they dreaded new commotion., and
proper precautionary measures had been adopted.

We have already adverted to the conduct of the
Water Companies, in endeavouring to levy a heavy
additional rate on the Public immediately, on the
ground of the sixpence they will be put to in laying
down iron pipes, according to tire Act of Parliament,
ten years hence. We are glad to see that this subject
is likely to meet with the attention from the Public
which a grievance so general and so manifestly unjust
and oppressive deserves. We give in this day's
STATE-MIN the particulars and Resolutions of a
numerous Meeting of. the Inhabitants of. Wee•
minster, held to consider and take measures for
resisting the increased chorea made by the
Chelsea Water.'Workv Company ; and the letter
of a Correspondent on' the conduct of another
Company, who. baser, t their charges to
the exorbitant rate of b per. cant., intimates
a determination on the part of the inhabitants
of the north-eastern part of the Metropolis to hold
a,.'Weeting forlhaume purpose. When it is coital,
dered that the Public have no secusily that eve?
double the amount of rate attempted to be levied
upon them for this prospedive improvement, which,
after all, may never take place, and for which the
Public ought not to be made to pay until, at least,
they enjoy it, the necessity and propriety of protest-
ing against such impositions must be generally
knowledge&

rill EDIIVR OF THE STATESMAN.
Sin,—The inhabitants of the north‘east parts of
.lendoo, some years ago, patronized a Company for
the avowed impose of supplying the neighbourhood
with a better and more abundant supply of Water, at
a reduced rate; but lately this Company, having
coalesced with the New River Company, has raised
their rate 75 per Cent., their supply is much shorten-
ed, and iu case of fire, application must be made to
the Works at Old Fo►d, some miles from town.—
These and other vexatious grievances have occasioned
* determination of calling a Public Meeting, to adopt
such means of counteracting this alarming monopoly
as may be judged expedient, when it is earnestly
hoped every public spirited humane person will at-
tend, who values the lives, health, and comforts of
,an already too much suffering community. Disease
.aud death have spread this neighbourhood with con-
sternation, and its progress will not be arrested but
accelerated by such abominable avaricious measures.
