AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, Aug. 20.

The continual going and coming of couriers has given rise to a suspicion that certain sovereigns have something else in view, than merely making a peace for the Turks, since that may be considered as good as accomplished. The French exiles are persuading themselves that France is the principal object of all these movements, and that the respective sovereigns have it much at heart to reinstate Louis XVIth in all his prerogatives, to restore the French Noblesse to all their privileges, and the clergy to their estates!
