London papers relate to the termination
oil the congress at AK Ia Cbapelle. We
have on hand four documents, which are
considered as the most important results
of the deliberations of that body.
Great preparations were making in Lon
don for the interment of the Queen, which
was TO take place on the 2nd of Decem-
Der.
A Genoa paper states, that OIL the 10Th
of September, Mr.. Jones the American
Consul General at Tripoli, went ont to
hunt with his Secretary, the Danish Con.
sui, aud a Jannissary. Being separated
from his companions, he was attacked by
three Moors of the Admiral Mourat- Rails,
who struck him several times with the
butt ends of their muskets, knocked him
down, and would have murdered him, had

ions. The Consul was conveyed, cover
ed with blood to the palace of the Pacha,
who promised every PREPARATION that should
be required, and then convoked all the
Consuls at his country-house 10 consult
with them. In the mean time Mourat- Rails,
who is an English renegade, and the pri-
vate enemy of Mr. Jones, took refuge at
the house of the British Consul, who
granted him an asylum and refused TO de-
liver him up TO the Pacha. By the adj

/ "Now that the pacification Of Europe
is accomplished, by the resolution of with
drawing the foreign troops from the French
territory and now that there is an end of
those measures of precaution which depto-
rable events had rendered necessary, the
ministers and pleuipotentiaries of their
Majesties the Emperor of Austria, the
King Of France, the King of Great Brit
ain, the King Of Prussia, and the Empe-
ror of all the Russias, having received
orders from their Sovereigns, to make
known to all the courts of Europe, the re-
suits of their meeting at Aix.la- Chapele,
and with that view to publish the follow
ing declaration The convention of the
9th of October, which definitely reguiat-
ed the execution Of the engagements agreed
to in the treaty of peace of November
20, 1915, is considered by the SovereigDs
who concurred therein, as the accomplish
ment of the work of peace, and as the
completion Of the political system destin-
ed to ensure its solidity. Tie ultimate
union established among the Monarchs,
who are joint parties to this system, by
their own principles, no less than by the
interests Of their people, offers to Europe
the most sacred pledge Of its future tran
guilty. The object of this union is as
simple as it is great and salutary. II does
not tend to any new political combination
to any change in the relations Sanction
ed by existing treaties. Calm and con-
sisient in its proceedings, it has no other
object than the maintenance of peace, and
the security of those transactions on which
the peace was founded and consolidated.
| The Sovereigns in forming this august
union, have regarded as its fundamental
basis, their invariable resolution never to
Ldepart, either among themselves, or in
their relations with other States, from the
strictest observation of the principles of
the right of nations; principles, which in
their application TO state of permanent
/ peace, can alone effectually guarantee the
/ independence of each government and the
| stability of the general association. Faith
ful to these principles, the Sovereigns will
maintain them equally in those meetings at
which they may be personally present., or
in those which shall take place among
their ministers; whether it shall be their
object to discuss in common their own in
terests, or whether they shall take cogni-
zance of questions in which their govern
ments shall formally claim their interior.
