Yesterday morning,. at half past one o'clock, a ere breke out at 'Grove House, Kentish Town, the residence of John Slack, Esq. which, before the ar rival hf any engines, was almost totally destroyed, with its valuable furniture ; but, lamentable to re kte, the worthy and respectable owner, ia an et: tort of parental solicitude to recover one of his children from the flames, fell himself a victim to their tuiry. V. have been at some pains to collect the parti culars of this melancholy catastrophe on the spot, and they are as follow : Mr. slack, with his family, retired at the usual bow to rest ; but, most unfortunately, a quantity of linen clothes, returned from the laundry, were left airing before the kitchen fire, which, it is naturally pteauttied, caught flame—for, as the fire originated in the hetteth of the house, that is the only cause naturally conjecturable. The kitchen and parlour stories must have been very soon on fire, and the erliele village being wrapt in sleep, the inhabitants both of that and the adjoining house (Mt. Taste's), uihsat hive beep consumed in.the common ruin, bad h not teen for the accidental passing of a coachman tit Mei:late bony, who perceived the flames bursting froni-the lower windows, and instantly alarmed the watchmen ; but they, instead of spreading a general alarm, by ringing the alarm-bells at the top of ther own beees, or hoocking at the doors of the surround ing inhabitants to nracure their assistance, contented &emelt/eh with sprioging their rattles, and scream ing," watch OP s, to each other, so that the cause was mistaken by the wakeful few who heard them fur . cattle drinken riot, consequently no assistance ap. peerededlil the Heroes had made such ravages as to render it. impossilde 'to stem their fury. The parish cneiiits were immediately sent for by the beactie, and arrived about hell pail three ; bu. then no war was to be oistain4d e pn account of the ,distance of the .mansion from . 4 1 6 - fireplug. The fire-engiues from tewh did not.arrivc wail tile o'clock, . said ce:iseqiientl) , fro Lite for any Useful assistance. • When the fern:ly reicived the first alarm, all was - confusion, except in the Mind of Mr. Slack, who, with great prempiiinde and ,calm precision, desired • 1:4 wITe: end children to twolnought to one room, the . en supigrofe flam 114004 .- in ogler to ath pt the 'Speeds mode et making their escape. Most tortu • rietelf, Mrs. Sieck,• with sn infant only three months . • '' • -old at lair breast, surrounded by the other tendet ob jeete of :lair' aff:ctines, were speedily exceicatid, with city exception' a 4 bne child which was missing; and his Shack. 'with ail the eagerness and intrepidity. to ',mental anxiety, rushed through the flames, and explored his way to the upper part of the house , sup youth; the thild might be still there ; but the poor litdeeilint had found its way to the first landinge Auld toxic ores heard crying by Mr. Lewis Wiber, the Kentieli Torea - Coechtuastei, who, accidentally alar taw& sumac other inhabitants of the velege, came to rhnehr his , assietence : he rushed' through a torrent of and, at the imminent risk of his owls life, cati n tthe child in his arms just as the fl or war •about to give way. On hi returning half suffocated and scorched, 'a flaming hoard in the Lem of the hall, with she joist on which it rested, gave way, aud his foot 'tipsiest through ; but he fortunately rescued himself from his Fiefdom situation, and conveyed the child into the open air, just before the hail and staircase fell in.— but the unhappy Mr. Slack, who was exploring the upper room. in search of his child, thuseescued un known to him, lust all opportunity for his own escape. He was endeavouring, as it would appear, to de scend, but the fury of the flames cut off his retreat ; and he was last seen, by the light of the fl Imes, through rite staircase, clinging to the balustrade of the eeceed storey. It was impossible to render him any asaeteitce, and in a few trilliums be fell: :allo cated, ia.to the flames. The cook is also missing, and it is rationally presume.' sheied the tate of her unfortunate master. Every thing combustible on the premises was de stroyed ; and Mr. Tate and his termly, who live hi she next house, fortunately escaped' the fi roues, through the protection of a strong pea ty-well, which separated their house, built elect! ) , of timber, then Mr. Slack's. Lamentable as is the fate of Mr. Slack to his ami able aiad disconeolate family, his death is no common loss ; jar, independent of his being an honour and an ornament to his rink as a husband and a father, he was the zealous and munificent friend i f the puts, and perticularly of the rising generation in his vil lage ; and, not content with contributing most late retie from his ketone to an establishtnent tor employ tog productively the poor of the village, and institu ting a public school fur their education, be and his amiable wile personally and constantly supra intended their education and morals, and conducted them on Sundays to public worship. Such a man, as he lived respected and esteemed by all who knew him, fur his exemplary piety, charity, and benevolence, his unfor tutiete fate has impressed the circle of his acquein twee; With the deepest sorrow. A dreadful are broke out last night in the premises of a guild beater, in Red Lionstreet, Hilburn. The tire WAS first discovered a little before twelve o'clock, horn which time it raged with 'great violence for above an hour before any assistance could be pro cured. The engines were at length attracted, and e eery exertion was made, but they came only in time to prevent the spreading of the conflagration. The house in which it first appeared was reduced to a niche shell. The engines had collected in such num bers at about half-past two, as to get the fire under completely ; and by that means to quiet the appre heiletopt of the whole neighbourhood, which were till ;h e rs a larming.. in the confused and lamentable scene that presented itself on this occasion, the most distressing ebject was a woman, who ran through the crowdin d since of distraction, lamenting the loss of lair child, which she supposed to have perishedia the Les. `r. 6 • I'4 .

In the eveitimr the number was doubled, upwards of 2,000.• Different parts of the Palace were disposed in such a manner as to lodge part of them in the night; the remainder will bi vouack in the garden. " All the gates have been shut during the whole Jay. The staircases and passages are carefully guarded.

The accused received with the greatest trinvil lity the diff:reut POtifiCatiOlS made to h;rn by M. Ruse, Usher of the aloe of Peer/. (1t is 11.111 the Chamber is characterized in the tickets of admission.) He appears to have the greatest contiience iu the vs iidity of .the exceptions he has presented." 41 It is Confidently reported, that after . a short de bate in the. Council of Ministers, they agreed in the necessity of recalling M. Forsche from Dresden, and bringing him to a trial. • Nut the least doubt is entertained of t result of Ney's process. The Government, in OAF mean time, neglect no precaution : every avenue of :he Luxembourg is strictly guarded, awl nunre.ous pa. troles of the gendarmerie, the household troops, and the national guard, do duty during the night. • Lanjuir.ais neither appeared yesterday nor. the day before in the Chamber of Peers. It is understood he means to absent hi:ntelf dining the whole trial.— At the nominative appeal of the l7th, only 150 Peers were present, being precisely .50 less than attended the preceding night. flteze is no difference of oeinion on Ney's guilt; all acknowledge he deserve; to perish, ani that his execution has now become necessary ; }et many feel a repugnance at condemning a soldivr whose name stands so pre-eminent in military achievements : his appeal to the Peers, and objections to the competency of the other tribunals, can change re:thing but the mode of his execution. 44 The sentence of a Court• Martial would have ad judged him to be shot, a soldier's death ; that of the Peers condemns him to expiatl his crime on the scaf fold, and. to suffer by the guillotine, the punishment, awarded to the lowest and most despicable malefac tor. lie betrays in this awful conjuncture no pusil lanimous emotion, and leaves another problem to be solved on our inexplicable n cure, how qualitities so contradictory could meet in the same individual ? M. Seguier, the Delegate of the Chancellor, is not without embatrassment r—himself' so recently one 4.1 the warmest partisans of Napoleon, who in 18(;9, addressed him in a speech recorded in the Ma n.:tear of the '2llh January, with the most fulsome adulation. The friends of Ncy pretend his talents are beneath mediocrity out of the field olbattle, and draw the inference that he could have had no share in the premeditated plan V restoring Bonaparte. can only assure you, in answer to this, it is generally believed the proclamation promulgated on the 14th, was printed at Paris previous to Ney's celebrated in. terview with the King. It appears certain he might have escaped 11.1 d he chosen it—this proves that !recal culated falsely on his own importance and the value of his past services." A curious (rand has been detected on the part of the French Police towards the English army :—lt has betn the practice of the English troops, particu larly the officers, to sell their commissariat checks, instead of claiming their rations ; a French Commis sary was in the habit of buying these greatly below their value, from the troops quartered at the village of Neuilly, and charging upon them the full value. It was discovered by the English Commissary, who had the (miner arrested in the very act of buying these tickets. Upon searching the house of the' French agent, lettets of a Prefect of Police were found amongst his papers, by which it appear/4 that by this traffic, they divided between them a sum of NO francs a month in that single quarter. The letters, with a statement of the transaction have been laid before the Duke of WELLINGTON, and a severe prosecution will be instituted against the two persons implicated. h is certainly true, Unit the Prince of ORANGE api plied to our Government for a year's pay, on account of the slight wound that he received in the battle of Waterloo, to the astonishment of all the British army. The answer of his Royal Highness the COMMANDER sa-CutEF was admirable. He said- 44 . certainly, his Serene Highness is entitled to the money.—but he must conform tci.the regulations of the service.

A Dutch Mail, bringing Journals to the 23J in stant, arrived at a late hour last night. By this con veyance we have received some interesting pat Lid)- lars respecting the Treaties just concluded between the Allied Powers and France, which we subjoin. The other article in these Journals, like those tre ceived yesterday late to military movements which, having already p uced the result intended, cease to be interesting : BREMEN, NOVEMBER 17, Letters from Paris, of the ith instant, stale, that the signature of the Treaty of Peace, which some Journals have prematurely announced as having already taken place, will not he effected till some days hence. At the same time we receive here se condary Conventions, which, though they will not be signed before the principal Treaty is signed, are, in fact, actually concluded. The first of these Con ventions concerns the occupation of a military line in France. The following is the substance of it : ARTSCLE 1. Composition of the Army, and choice of its :ommanders. 2. The French furnish It with fire, candle, lodging, provisions, and forage in kind. However, the portions which are to be de livered according to a fixed tarif, and not to exceed sOO,OOO, and the rations not 50,000. Fur pay, eqiiipments, clothing, and other necessaries, the Government is t• pay 50 miWoas annually ; but the Allies, in order ro assist France as much as possible. will be content with SO millions for the first year, on condition that the deficiency shall be paid in the following years. France provides for the keeping up of the fortifications, as well as of the buildings belonging to the Civil and Military Act ninistratioe, and for the provisioning of the fortresses in the occupation of the Allies.— Else furnishing of what is necessary for these purposes, in which the madms of the French Military Administration are observed, is made upon the application of the Allied Armies to the French Government, which has to arrange with them the meant of providing for these supplies and works in a manner suitable to both parties. 4. According to the Fifth Article of the principal Convention, the line to be occupied by the Allied troops, extends along the frontiers which divide the departments of the Pas de Calais, the North, the Ardennes, the Masse, the Moselle, the Lower Rhine, and the Upper Rhine, from the interior of France : it is further agreed, that (onions particular reasons should, with the consent of both parties, cause an alteration to be mail!' the following districts stud territories shall not be occupied eithzr by Allied er French troops :—ln the department of the Somme, the whole country northwards of that river, from Ham to its falling into the see; in the department of the Mane, the districts of Saint ciuentin t Vervin, end Leon ; in the department of the Marne, those of Rheims, St. Menehaud, and vary; In the department of the Upper Marne, St. Mier, and ; in the depart ment of the Meurthe, Toil, Diane, !loathing, and.

GOTHA, NOVEMBER b. To-day ended the march of the Russian troops through this place, which has lasted three weeks. The number furnished with provisions was about ninety thousand. WARSAW, NOVEMBER 6. His Majesty the Emperor of Russia is expected at the end of this week. All Polish Generals and Co lonels with the army in the provinces, have received orders to come here en the arrival of the Emperor. Some Polish regiments have lately arrived. Accor ding to the ancient laws of Poland, the King was obliged to profess the Catholic faith, to which as ex ception must be made under the present Constitution. Yesterday the new Polish standards for the army, with white eagles, were solemnly consecrated. ROME, OCTOBER c 4. The official annunciation of the return of all oar treaseres of art from France excites here the greatest enthusiasm. People do not cease to praise the justice of these Powers who contribute towards it, as well as the geaerosity of Lord Castlereagh, who has placed 100,000 francs at the disposal of Canova, to tacili. tate the packing up and conveyance of these precious articles. Abbe Canova, a brother of the celebtated sculptor, and Abbe Marini, received from the French library the MSS. medals, and stories, taken from Rome. The French Museum, - besides what it fie tnerly possessed, has, besides, a valuable addition to the works of art, bought of Prince Camillo 13orghese. In eider to make the Muieum at Paris the sole point of union of the finest monuments of antiquity, Na poleon forced his brother-in-law to sell his collection to him, and an imperial decree of Aril 1 27, ISO 7, fixed the conditions. This decree was preceded by strict examinatUrns on the part of the French government, and comtnissio ners, at the head of whom was Deno°, who V.' As sent to Rome to make an exact inventory of alt the arti cles, and fix their price. Connoisseurs at Rome, among whom was Canova, declared the Borghese collection to be invaluable ; however he gave it an approzimative vain,: far above the twelve millions, at which Napoleon set the price. According to the decree of April 27, 1807, the twelve callous were paid. to Prince .13irshese-1. In three millions cf francs in money-2. In six millions of inscriptions in the Grand Livrer-3. By giving him an Abbey called Lucedis, in Piedmont (a national domain.) This year. however, the Court of Accounts at 'I urin se questrated the income of the Abbey, and sent Com missioners to take possession of the estate. Prince Borghese makes a reclamation against this step of the Sardinian Government. Besides the right. which seems to be on his side, his conduct its Governor- Genetal et Piedmont speaks in his favour, he never having committed those arbitrary proceedings which ,'ndered the tools of Napoleon so odiousinmany places.
