This is a dose bogday st the Bank and Stock F.schango; nor has an business beta done at the Ronal Lachanse, • On Monday, immediately after the dispatches' brought by Mr. BAKER from Ghent, had been com municated to the Pastiest RESENT, a Messenger was soot off to that place with a commuskation to the; Commissioners, that the Treaty would be ratified his Royal Highness. Yesterday the Treaty, having been ratified in due form, was sent off to Portsmouth to be transmitted with all possible speed to Washington, for the ratifica tion of Mr. Manz/mi. The Gazette of last night confines itself to the ' simple mention of the signing of the Treaty, without taking' notice at all of the terms i nor will they be stated in a direct official form till after k shall hays been ratified by the President of the United Stater r — The general outline is, however, before the public, LON DON. ~ ' . _ According to the American speculators, there is no doubt whatever that the 'Treaty will be duly ra tified as soon as received : and it must be allowed, that on such a topic their opinion deserves some sight; for it is well known that certain people con nected with the American .Coin9o44l‘ . , : have had every facility afforded them to. tarn this.;ffair to their own advantage. • So much for the .secrecy and ho nourable confidence with which all intercourse with the Agents of MADISO,I are . conducted. If any one can doubt this betraying of state secrets, for the benefit of private individaals,-after witnessing the mercantile speculations that have for some weeks been carrying on in our public Funds, and on the Royal exchange, let them be informed that the same *mini has been carrying on close/here to a consider,. able extent. In confirmation of this we lay before our Readers the following letter : u AMSTERDAM, DECEMBER so. 4! Peace must infallibly have been concluded he mmer: the Allietican and British Plenipotentiaries, for * funds of the American Loan, which have been long negooiated by Horn and COmpaay, the Ba n k ers het*, and which had been so low as 73 four months ago.' have suddenly risen to 88, a price which they have not before*attained ever since the Americans de elated war.". T esh it be thus rendered manifest that there are penile who hesitate not to convert national business into a mean of private emolument, let as hope that t hi s mercantile spirit will not be allowed to operate the defeat of the very Treaty whir has already pro cuUff tor these men so many benefits, and thus to yield them a accost', or move properly a third harvest. kn the. inability of Maurice tQ fold means (fir ear op t he war, we have a kind of plydge that h. wOLOntl himself cot:gene& to rat* the Treaty, 9n. lets hi mesas to be kicked. with disgiaequen the Office of President.

Nothing like a rupture, however, is to be ex pected from the mild and conciliatory temper in which their discussions seem to be conducted. An article from Parma attacks the Treaty of Fon tainebleau, and denies that the contracting parties had any right to transfer that Principality to any person e4nnected with BONAPARTE, so leng as the legitimate Sereign, or his representative, is in existence. —The only ground on which MAMA LOUISA can be received, it seems, is founded on the protection which may be expected in that Court from' Austria. Of the right which B )NAPARTIC has to Elba, according to the same article, there cannot be a doubt ; the Allies had an equal right to transfer to him the Islands of Great Britain and Ireland. The perusal.of the above and many 'similar articles in the Contlgentariournals, furnishes ample conviction that the day is not far dis tant, when BONAPARTE, and all his family and an nation:, will undergo some still farther degradations, Louts, the Ex-King of Holland, is the only indivi dual in the whole groupe who has had the good sense to discovet• that the " post of honour is a private station." The Afoniteur contains the proceedings of the Cham ber of Deputies on the case of General ENcia..alAss. This worthy soldier of goONAPAIITeS School hai, it seems, offered his services to King Mow, while at the instant himself and his children were eating the bread of the French nation. For this offence, which under his old master, BONAPARTE, be would 'have subjected himself to have been shot * he yes merely reprimanded; but having persevered in hiasraitorous conduct, he was at length arrested, .his papers pot under seal, and finally ordered to retire upon tralf-piy to his legitimate domicile. In a petition to the Cham ber of Deputies, this hopeful candidate for one of MIMAT'S truncheons does not deny his crime ; but n:t being able to tell the place of his birth, that is to say, being i complete military adventurer, **rests most lustily against quitting rads. quite • natural. In the mean time, he petitions the Cliateheinf De. puties, who very fairly and constitutionally tell that having plenty of public busineit on their hands already, they cannot take the command of the army out of the hands of the Kinn, and therefore refer him to the MINSTER of WAR; This is one of the many ' instances in witch the KING has shewn his forbear ance. and at the same time his determination to purge the army of all improper characters. We presume, therefore, that M. Excusians will be kept in confiriU-I went. for the good of society, until he can produce a certificate of his birth. MURAT has abundance of Generals already : BACCRIOCHI, his brother-in-law, for instance, can supply him with fifty even better qualified than General Excrumans. Then the Arne ricaus can now supply him with a fita.t. and a Wu,- EIRRON on an emergency. 1 PARIS, DECEMBER 25. It is said that in all the confederate Provinces of Germany, a particular order, the members of which will assume the title of " Gismotier: of Irisdont," (IYeisheit Ritter:). This order is destined to recom pence learned men and authors, who, by their writings and their influence over public • opinion, have contri ' bated to the deliverance of Germany. The. English Journals of the 20th are still awanting, The King has given 100,000 francs out of his pri vate purse for the instruction of the indigent Duaf and Dumb. RAtiTADT, DECEMBER re. The discussion of the affairs of Poland, which were provisionally adjourned to the Congress of Vienna, had not beedresumed at the departure of the last courier. VIENNA, DECEMBER 14.• The fortress of Mentz seems to stand an obstinate siege, against the Congress at least ; several Powers contend for it, and it is not yet known to whom it will belong. Bavaria claims it, and it was long thought she would be allowed to keep it ; but the Paussiaa Ministers oppose it, or rather choose to do so, in order to extort from her conditions, to which she is unwilling to subscribe. Other Courts of Ger, many demand that Mentz shall be declared a fortress of the Germanic Confederation, and as such main tained by the troops of the Confederation :—this is one of the difficulties of the Congress. Austria and Prussia alone have hitherto presented proposals to the Congress ; the other Powers seem to be there only for the purpose of assenting or dissent ing. It is not astonishing therefore, that tunbr4ge has been taken. Much bus been said of a conciliatory note presented on the 2Efth ult. by the Russian Minister to the other , •- 1 Plenipotentiaries, a but its conteots are unknown, as also their answer. It seems as if they awaited the return of the Couriers from England and Paris with the opinion of the respective French and Eyelid: Cabinets on this subject., CAPLSRUHE, DECEMBER IS.

From btadrtifura learn, that the King visits the public places in disguise every night, in order to sound the public opinion. But it is very difficult for him to attain his object, for his own severe measures prevent all persons from speaking their minds freely, not only in public, but at their own ere-sides ; they also complain that robberies increase in the capital as well as throughout the kingdom. MADRID, DECEMBER 13. Intelligence from America, which unhappily ap pears but too true, has spread here the greatest con. sternation. The patriots and insurgents of Mexico have united, and proclaimed with common consent the political indepen: en .e of the northern of our Ame riCan possessions. On the 9th instant, the birth-day of the Queen Mother, there was a Gala at Court. The Ambassa dors and Foreign Ministers, GrAnclees of Spain, tided persons, Members of Council, and Military Chiefs, were present. Our Gazette continues to be filled with Addresses of felicitation, directed to his Majesty during the last' month. The King has conferred the rank of Marechal de Camp on the Brigadier of his Armies, Don Juan Martin, called the :Emperisado. We have already made known the origin of this sirname, acquired during the last war, and the nature of the military exploits of M. Jean Martin, Chief of a Corps of Par.. tisans, who continually harassed the enemy in the, province of Madrid: We have been in vain expecting the arrival of the Galloons from New gpsin, but this pleasing intelli gence has not been confirmed. ' In the mean time our double expedition to the New World cannot sail. Reports are in circulation which seem to have no other foundation than the spirit of justice which cha racterises the King. It is said that a measure of general reconciliation is in contemplation, by which all parties will pass an indemnity. They say that the Council of Castile has suggested this measure by the express desire of his Majesty, and against that of some of his present Ministers. In the mean time, the property of the absentees is still under sequestration. The amount of what has been sold has been paid into the Public Treasury, and those possessions which were unalienable in their nature have been given to the next heir. 11 1 MALTA, NOVEMBER S. The late war, and the violent decrees of Bonaparte against English commerce, gave to oar island a com mercial importance which it never otherwise could have mimed : and though these causesexist no lon t ger, others have arisen which will produce the same effect, and make of this isle * permanent entrepot in the Mediterranean. The Levant Company formerly carried on almost all the trade of England with the Levant ; the sub jects of the. Porte never risked so distant a voyage as that to England, and carried on no direct commerce with it. They were first drawn to Malta, during the existence of the late sar with Turkey ; that port being the only one open to their ships and commerce, by means of English licenses. They found there an ex cellent market, where they could sell their own pro duce, and purchase abundance of English manufac tures, and other articles for their owa consumption s in consequence they continued to ensue hither. There is hardly a doubt that this island will retain this trade, the rather as the English government has now determined to permit the immediate entrance into England of merchandize which shall have performed quarantine at Malta, and because it proposes on the other hand, to prohibit the import of all Levant mer chandise, which shall not have performed quaran tine here. The inhabitants of the Eatbary coast were equnUy attracted to Malta by the same causes, and while they now bring their produce hither, they at the same lime purchase many articles which they formerly derived from ports of Italy and France. The inhabitants of Sicily, Sardinia, the lonian isles, and of the coasts of the Adriatic, have long regarded Malta as the market where they could supply them selves with colonial produce as Well as English man ts- . futures, and sell their own goods. There is no rea son to presume that they will seek another entrepos. The chief commercial towns of Sicily are nearer Malta than they are to Palermo or Messina; Sicilian. produce may, therefore, be transmitted through Malta with as much advantage as by the old channels of Palermo and Messina. The ;mutant and regular intercourse between M.tka and the Morea, the lonian Isles and the coasts of the . Adriatic, also enables our merchants to execute, osj equally 4dvantageous terms, orders for the produce of these different countries ; the cons wade * in pad. coin, has for many years passed alone exclusively through Malta. The situation of our island s so favourable for con centrating within itself the different 'slicks of mer chandise and produce of neighbouring countries, that it ;pig be Asserted to be the best port in the bied,iter, cancan tar furnishing assorted cargoes: The &wishing state of the commerce of our island has lit" hitch to a great number of public establish mcnts. We have,nOw two banks, several respectable iasuiance c,omithnies, an exchange, &c. :: THE ARMY. The Duke of "r oan bead a Levee yesterday at L r .
