SECOND CHAMBLit OF THE STATES-GENERAL. SITTIVO OF OCT. 24.. After the approbation of the proces verbal, a mes. sage from the King was read, by which his Majesty transmits to their High Mightinesses an authentic copy of the Convention, concluded at London the 21st Au gust, this year, ratified on the 23d of the same month by his Majesty the King of the Netherlands, and on the 28th September, by his Majesty the King of Great Britain, concerning the commerce with the Colonies hi the %Vest Indies, ceded to Great Britain in 1814. The advantages stipulated by the different articles of this Convention are of a nature to diminish the re gret which the Cessation must naturally excites All the inhabitants oldie Netherlands actually possessing plantations in Demerary, Esseqeibo, or Berbice, or to 'thorn these plantations :ire mortgaged, as well as those who shall acquire them lirreafter, have and shall have the right of nttelgation and commerce there, upon the same locaing as the subjects of his Britannic Ma jesty : they are permitted to employ there, till the end of the year 1821, ships the owners of which are sub jects of his Majesty the King of the Netherlands, ithont distinction ►n respect to the place where they have been built, and without any limitation in regard to the sailors by whom • they are manned; lout alter the expiration of these said five yens, this trade can not be carried on except itr vessels bui't in the Nether lands, and of which the Captain and three-fourths of the crew must be subjects of the King of the Nether land. The King retains the right of fixing both, ,art the importation of the productions of those Colonies into his E•srope.an States, and upon the exportation, such duties as he may think fit. The duties levied on the Colonies shall be the same fir the trade of the Ne therlan.ls, as for that of Great Britain. The King's subjects, prorrietors in the said Colo nies, shag have full liberty to go there and return, and to dispose of their property at their pleasure.

EXTRACTE FROM FRENCH SECRET POLICE REPORTS, RELATING To EVENTS Is: THE SOUTH OF FRANCE. VAUCLUsit ( Avignon, Sept. 1.) --The department continues overspread with robbery and conflagration. Assassinations are fewer, but opini eis are greatly overstrained. To wish fur the charter is regarded as a crime ; he who only ventures to speak of it, 1.. forthwith set down as a Bonapartist. The lunch matiens and ordinances of the King are now well kr:own, but they pretend to obey GoD alone, and they announce themselves as devoted to the Prince, while they set at nnught the orders and views of the King. Some of the imprisoned have been set at liberty, but at the same time, for their own security, they are under the necessity of leaving the city.— N. B. Private letters announce the tight of the Mayor, the Prefects, and all the Magistrates, and the murder of 123 prisoners, amidst the cry of Piste Ic Roi ! CARD (Nismes), SEPT. 2.—(The Prercet.)—A proclamation of the Austrian G e n eral Nei pp er g , essed to the inhabitants of the departnwirt el the I G;trd, announces, that he has been commissiened, in conceit with the Magistrates a t ipinted by the King, again to restore tranquillity, and that he will prn:ced to the measure of disarming the iatAbitents by meet's lof moveable calunms. There is reasen to cencluele, however, that these measures have been subjected to some modification, from a letter of Prince Talley rand, which announces that he had written to Prince Metternich, " That the Government of the King had adopted such measures, that the recurrence c.f e vents 'similar to those which had lay-by taken place, was not to he dreaded. He therefore hoped, that the Austrians would be ordered to retire to the bounda ries appointed to them by mutual agreement." — On the 29th August, an Austrian Surgeen who was , standing before the shop of a picture dealer, peinted to the picture of General Blucher, and said, before a number of witnesses, " He is a brave General, who completely beat Bonaparte; he is a Protestant, and lam one also. The Catholics have here murdered 400 Protestants, but they will repent it. You are all worthless wretches, robbers, and murderers, and de serve to he hanged." A proms verbal was taken of this, and sent to the Commandant of the Depart ment, in order to be communicated to the Austrian General. GARIN (Nismes) SEPT. 2 —(Prieateletter.)—The prod:tin:aim of the Austrian General, in which he announces the disarming of the country, has produced the most pernicious effect, and could di, no otherwise, as disturbances recommence :mew. What the Prefect thought proper to add, by declaring, that tee an nounced measure proved the good understaneling be tween the King of France and the Emperor of Aus tria, has produced additional bitterness and again excited distrust. • The Protestants say, that it is in tended to disarm them, that they may be more easily murdered, as individuals of them have already been, who, after they had escaped the first massacres of Nismes, had the weakness to confide in proclemit mations, and returned. It is theretore more than probable, that the day on which the disarming shall commence, will be the signal fin a new insurrection. They talk of a letter from M. Talleyrand, having for object to prevent this disarming, but no hopes are built upon it. The Frotestants :ire universally con vinced that they will be murdered, but who can en tertain such a. wish ? VAR, (Toulon) Avo. 31.—(The Lieutenant of Police.)—Lieutenant General rartonneeux, Com mandant of the Bth division, has written to the Com mandant and the Mayor of this city, strongly censu ring their proeeedings ; and reminding them of the paternal wishes of his Majesty, as charged them to put a stop to the severity, in which, contrary to law, they have indulged against many individuals. The imprisonments have since ceased, and some have been set at liberty. The celebration ot the fete of the King gave occasion in this neighbourhood to the greatest disorders, Murders were perpetrated, anti several ' houses given up so plunder. UPPER LOIRE, (Puy.) —Many earriesWer have re ported, that the electioes of the department have been conducted in a completely re actionary spirit. ', One of the electors has published his opinion in print, recommending that the Chambers should not asserti ble at all, and that they should relinquish to the King alone, the care of governing the state. Aenteca, (Foie) Aro. 30.—The Piefect does not deny that in his department, many disturbances and illegal proceedings have taken place ; but he hopes that reflection, time, and the season of the year, which will soon grow cooler, will again restore order. UPPER GARONNE / (TOULtlie) At/El. 31.—( Private Letter.) —The Secret Society still continues its exe cutions, that is, they assassinate marked out indivi duals. The agents of this terrible society, far from exhibiting any marks of repentance, threaten daily the most re:l...cubic people with the same fate as General Rawl. The arrival of the Duke d'Atigonlenie has in no respect changed the situation et the persons op. pressed and threatened. On the contrary, it appears as it fetocilios shouts affected still more ardour. On the entrance of the Duchess d'Angeulenre, some called out, "Vive la Keine !" Tette, (Albi) Atm 31.—(The Prefect.) The Prefect cnagtistui:itcs himself, that of the four Depu t:es whom the department had - to elect,. three were chosen from among the oid Lowea PYRENEES (Bayonne), Auo. f.—(The Under flrcfect.)---In consequence of commands which M. Chevigny de Blot nes just received from the Duke d'Angouleme, he has at last resolved to permit sotne preparations for defence. A Commis sary, whe eves sent as a Ceurier erom Bourdeaux, has communicated a dispatch, stating, that op the request of the Duke d'Angouleme, General Castanos had recrossed the Pyrenees. This dispatch has been communicated to General Abisbal, who has yet re tune dan decided reply to it. This General, in his Proclamation, has riot once mentioned the King's name, but several times tepeated that he came to the assistance of the Princes. 4 Ps ince of Anglona, who came over here for the purpose ot a conference, has openly complained that meesures of defence were taken agaieet an army which had been invited to CORM The same Paper, of the lktth, contains a long article, prpfessin . o to be the substance of a second Memoir by M.

Speaking of the political securities which the Allies have a right :to rehuire of France, he sal s-- , 4 If the internal rela tions of France are not to be intermeddled with, then there cm be no place for peli;ical securities. But if • they are, and I think that the Allies are thereto bound, then attention must be paid to the wishes of the French people, which may be nearly reduced to the following points: AConstitutiona I Monarchy; 2. The guaran tee of Eur►pe lor such a Constitution, funded on the princieles set forth in the King's Charter; 3dly, The maintenance of the person of the King until his death ; and then, 4:hly, A change of dy nasty in favour of the - House of Orleans, which is deemed to be mote to the ideas of the present age, more free from prejudices, and not bound by promises made at former periods—in tine, more qualified to reign over Fiance than the other Princes of the House of Bourbon. Should these securities be given to the French people, then it might be hoped they would remain tranquil; but if not, tranq►►illity can in no way be expected. Disturbances will break forth the moment the armies retire, even were their .residence there prolonged for ten years to come. It is the duty ut Enn►pe to declare itself on these questions, and to 1 assume the part of nicaiiator s. between Prance and People. The nation cannot express this wish ; for 'they would probably find themselves in direct oppo sition to the King. Can the King place himself be tween his people and his family, who have eiewn him so many proofs of attachment and devotedness, who have participated is his misfortunes and sufreted with him ? No, doubtl•:ss, this cannot be ; neither the King nor the people can do this, and it therefore re ptile,. a third party. That third party is Euripe, because its welt are aud that of France are reciprocally dependant on each other. Could this be attained, then political guarantees would be joined, and these might considerably mitigate the military securities which sLould otherwise be required of France." FRENCH PAPERS.

Yesterday the four horses which were placed on the triumphal arch of the C Arouse), were met on the road to Fontainbleau ; they were escorted by a tachment of Austrian troops to the amount of SAX* men. Tile King of Prussia has purchased from 1,000 to I * 2'oo Merinos, for the purpose of being transported to Prussia, there to imptove the breed. Prince Paul of Wurtemburg has arrived in Paris.

The bearers of them must deposit them, within a period of 10 days, at the Mayor's house nearest their residence, where they will receive new ones clothed in the legal forms. It will be recollected that in May,181.5, the Sieut Mabee de la Touche entered a pros,:cution for libel against M. Gallais, author of " The History of the 18th Brumaire." The grounds of action were, that the author, in various parts of the work, imputed to him calumnious facts, and accompanied them with the most outrageous epithets. M. Wilds was con demned, by default, on tie 16th of May, to a motith's imprisonment and a fine of 100 fr. He w4s then in England. in order to avoid Bonaparte's go. vernment.
