The ar rangement was notified in the following General Orders: " HE AD -QU A RTER S, MONTREAL. ' 1 Adjutant• General's Office, April 18, 1814. " GENERAL ORDERS.—His Excellency the Gover nor in Chief and Commander of the Forces, an nounces to the troops under his command, that he was pleased to sanction and confirm, on the 15th instant, articles of a Convention entered into by Colonel Baynes, Adjutant-General to the Forces, and Briga ifier-Gener..: Winder, of the Arms of the I.liiit.J §tates of America, for the mutual release of all pri soners of war, hostages or others, with the exception of.the 40 American officers and non-commissioned officers placed in close confinement, as hostages, in conformity to the General Orders of the 27th of Oc tober last, in re.aliation for 23 British born subjects taken from the ranks of the enemy, and sent to Eng land for legal trial. By this agreement it is stipulated :—That all pri• soners of war (the above-mentioned excepted), shall be mutually exchanged and delivered at such places as shall be agreed on with all convenient expedition ; and shall be declared respectively all and severally to be released, and free to carry arms and serve on the ti'ch of May next, the same as if they never had been j prisoners of war: and it has been farther provided, that whatever balance shall appear on the returns of Iprisoners of war respectively exchanged, or given up l on parole by either party since the commencement of hostilities, shall be Tnat the number of priso ners for which an equivalent has not been returned, shall be withheld from all military service, until duly It is with a proud satisfaction, that the Comman der of the Forces feels confident, that this provisional clause can never apply to the Army in Canada, from the immense disparity in the numbers and rank of the prisoners it has restored to the enemy. " All Officers, Non-commissioned Officers, and Soldiers, being prisoners of war, and not prevented in consequence of their wounds, are commanded to join their respective corps and stations on the 15th day of May next, and to resume military duties. . (Signed) " Low. BAYNEq, Adj.-General." FRENCH PA PERS. PARIS, JUNE 30. The King, who has been slightly indisposed, is now perfectiy recovered. liestc:day he piesitled, as usual, in the Council. The health oh Monsieur improves every day. His Royal highness went yesterday. in his eatriage to Trianon. The Duke d'Orlcans is arrived at Paris. The King of Prussia is hourly expected, but had not arrived yesterday. His Majesty will not stop more than five days here, and will return' to Prussia by Neufchatel. He is expected at Berlin the 21st, and the Emperor of Russia will arrive in that capital about the •28th of July. The Emperor of Russia and the Grand Duchess of Olcienburgh proceeded from Calais to Ostend by the way of Dunkirk. The King of Prussia I inded at Calais on the even ing of the `..6th. Ile wished to remain incognito, but he was no sooner recognised than he was conducted to his Hotel, amidst the most lively acclamations.— Next day his Majesty departed, travelling under the name of Count Repnin, and the same evening arriv ed at Amiens. He was not to set out from thence till this morning. The inhabitants of Chantilly, aware of ,his Majesty's passage, have placed under arms the guards of honour, who are cantoned in that district. At St. Denis, a deputation of the market.' women of Paris were waiting for the Monarch, who will art lye this evening in Paris. A number i i French Bishops, who were in Eng land, have within these few days arrived in Paris. Prince Eugene has left Paris for Munich. The company of the Garde du Corps, commanded by the Duke of Ragusa, have marched for Melun, where they will go into quarters. The following nominations have taken place: Mareschal de Camp Grundler is appointed Com mandant of Arms of Paris, in the room of Lieute nant General Ricard, appointed to the command of the 10th Military division. Lieutenant-General Decaen is appointed Governor of the 1 lth Division, comprising the Bordelais. Marshal Oudinot, Duke of Iteggin, is appointed Governor of the 2d division, comprising Lorraine. Marshal Kellerman, Duke of Valmi, is appointed Governor of the sth division, comprising Alsace. Marshal_Soult, Duke of Dalmatia, is appointed Governor of the 13th division, comprising Britanny. An arret of the Council of State, dated the 19th instant, revokes the arrets and judgments issued in execution of the Decrees of the 6th of April, ISO 3, and the 26th of August, 1811, against French subjects in the service oi their Austiian and Prussian Majesties. The Council General of the Bank of France has declared a dividend for the last half year at :10 francs on eadi share, to commence paying on the Ist of the next month. Thc Garde do Carps sent a deputation yester day, to invite the Commander in Chief of the Na tional Guard, Stair Officers, &c. to a grand enter. tainment. The succession of the lat.! Empress Joseph*, in landpd propel ty and moveables, amounts, it is said, after deducting all her debts, to a sum of 14-,000,000 of filmes, including her estate of bil4lmaison, which yield a rent of I 30,00() francs. The Austrian troops, which are to occupy Pied mont till farther orders, are calculated xt 65,000 men. The King of Sardinia has laid down a reso lution of never passing the magnificent bridge lately copstructed on the Po, on account of the severe pri. 'rations which its erectiicn has occasioned to his un. iurtunate people. . An article from _Ancona, dated June the 17th • stiYB—" The disturb ant e s which broke out in the Abruar.s are comEletely suppressed. The superb regirnef l t of the lancers or the guard are to' bp quar tered thele until 4 . 4 ether orders. The cometunications between Naples and Sicily are established on a foot ing of the utmost cordiality. On the 11th instant his Holiness the Pope visited King Charles IV. and his Royal Family, and con versed with them on the most friendly terms from eleven o'cluck till noon. In the Chamber of Deputies, M. Le Veneur pro posed that the King should be requested to issue an ordinance for observing the anniversary of Louis XVI. as a holiday in every part of the kingdom.— The proposition was ordered to be discussed on the 2d of July. The discussion of a proposition by M. Dumollard, for petitioning his Majesty to order his Ministers to submit a report to the Chamber on the actunl situa tion of the kingdom, was fixed for the same day.— M. 13eirot reported fiom the Committee appointed to examine the representations of the different De puties, whose right of sitting in the Chamber has been called in question, and the report was ordered to be printed. M. Delholme spoke at considerable length on the propriety of petitioning the King for a Bill to fix the amount of the Civil List. His speech was mdered to be printed, and his motion was refenred to the proper burtau. The Abbe de Montesquieu, Minister of the Inte rior, and Count de! Blacas, Minister of the House hold, were introduced, and delivered to the President a regulation of his Map.sty upon the subject of the communications with his Majesty and the Chamber of Peers, intimating at the same time, that his Ma jesty would be ready to take into consideration any remarks which the Chamber might have to make thereon. _ _________ CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. SITTING OF THE 291'u OP JUNE. The Sitting WAS opened at one o'clock. M. Da SAUX.—In conformity to the Constitutional Charter, I demand, with four of my colleagues, whose names shall be inserted in the minutes, that the Chamber resolve itself into a Secret Committee, before pAsbing to the Order of the Day. A number of voices.—Why a Secret Committee? AVlicre are the five Members e Let them appear in the Tribune. _ DI;110LAIID.--1 speak to order on this point : the names of the Members should be previously given in. Great agitation reigned in the Hall—a number of Members endeavoured to speak, but could not get a hearing. Five or six then form a grottpe around M. de Saux, as supporting his motion. The President enforces silence, and announces, that as agreeably to the Constitutional charter five Members had demand ed a Secret Committee, the galleries must be cleared. The agitation continues. One Member demands permission to speak belore passing to the order of the day. A number of voices demand the order of the day. M. Dumolard insists on being heard. The Pltastmcsr.—The formation of a Secret Corn. Wittee is demanded by five Members ; the constitu tional charter requires the public sitting to be closet', but you will speak if you please in secret committee. Tbe officers then cleared the galleries of a very numerqus audience, among whom we remarked se veral go g li k h Officers, and a number of Lade s. The Sitting again became pubic at two o'c lock. M. LAUII mounted the tribune, and developed his motion relative to the fixing of the direct a:. l itld' rec t taxes, and the valuation of territorial products, tt •:lch department respectively. The direct taxes might, h said, be divided into the personal tax, land-tax, tax on doors and windows, and tar on employments. He estimated the produce of the personal tax in France, as it now is, at 28 millions; that of the land-, tax at 173 millions; and that of the tax on doors or windows at 15 millions—making a total of 216 mil lions. But what he had to complain of was, the faulty mode of distributing these taxes at present: He bad no hesitation in saying, that the sum which each department was assessed to the general mass was ar bitrarily fixed. One department, for instance, paid only a tenth of its produce, while another was ex hausted by the payment of a fifth. For instance, the department A. was taxed in the proportion of a 10th; 100 francs of net produce, thetelore, paid 10 of tax. The department B. was taxed in the proportion of a sth ; 100 francs of net produce, therefore, paid 20 of tax. Au additional half was, perhaps, demand ed : the department A. would then pay 15 per cent. which left the proprietor 85 francs; the department B. would pay 30 per cent. which left the proprietor only 70 italics. Such were the gross inequalities which had been witnessed, But equality of distribu tion was the first requisite in the public burthens.— He therefore proceeded to suggest a plan, for obtain. ing an equitable estimate of the moveable and landed property of the kingdom ; and contended that this estimate should be presented for each department re spectively. He also demanded that, with a view to cases in which Government might be compelled to resort to extraordinary contributions, the taxes should in no case exceed a sth of the produce, expences of collection and additioral centimes included. He trusted, that as the late usurper had left the kingdom a prey to so many calamities from foreign war, and as every thing prescribed the duties of reforms and a severe economy, the King would shew himself wor thy of the task he had undertaken. It Louis XVI. merited the title of Father of his People, by suppres sing the imposts which the wars o f hi s pre d ecessor created, what benedictions wo u ld not t h e di m i nut i on of the enormous imposts w hi c h p ress upon F rance bring down on the head of L ou i s -l e -d es i r e ? He con cluded with moving for an h um bl e Add ress to hi s Majesty, p r ayi ng t h at h e wou ld cause to be la i d before them various accounts rel at i ve to t h e revenue o f t h e kingdom in the years 1811, 1812, an d 18 13.

I seek in vain for reasons which should make us reject a title national in its origin. clear and precise in. the idea which it expresses. Shall we fear to seem imi tators of a rival nation, equally proud of its liberty and of its Parliament which guarantees that liberry ? What a pitiful pride is that of rejecting v:ords, when the voice of experience recals us to the same ideas! But what do 1 say ? Are not liberal and generous institutions, like the works of great men, the common patrimony of the human race ? Thus Newton and Montesquieu are no longer English or French, but be long to the world ! Yes, let us henceforth take as the object of our meditation and of our studies, that political organization, purchased doubtless with tor. rent. of blood, and so long imperfect, but which, since 1688, has formed at once the glory and prosperity of a great people ! Too happy France, if in those cri. tical days when the seducing charms of a liberty with. out bounds offered themselves to her view, she had listened to the counsels of wisdom, and received as a blessing a Constitution on the model of that of Eng. land ! Let us Frenchmen forget reciprocal errors and wrongs ; we have already paid dear for them. Thanks be rendered to that enlightened Prince, who has just united the desirable institutions of the Mo narchy with the imprescriptible rights of nature and of ream." He concluded with moving, that the King be requested to present, in the shape of a law, the following projet : " he combination of the three branches of the Legislature recognised in the 15:h article of the Constitutional Chants, forms essentially and exclu•ively, the Parliament of France. No other Body can either ascribe to its:if or receive this title under pain of forfeiture." Several members support the motion, others call for the adjournment. M. La BORDE.-4 demand the adjournment for four reasons (murmur:). The matter is too important to \have an initiative here, and would seem to require the first deliberation of the Chamber of Peers. He was proceeding to other reasons, when he was called to order on the ground that while moving the adjourn ment Ivs had no right to discuss the motion itself. After some debate on the point of form, it was almost una nimously agreed that the motion should be taken into co.:lickration, and that for that purpose it should be wa r to the different Committees (bureaux) of the chamber: s-f t ,CKHOLM, JUNg to. The Crown Prince arrived in this city. Mans Addresses were presented to iwot, to one of which hip replied : " The union of Norway with Sweden, necessary to the prosperity of the North, being guaranteed by the Allied Powers, cannot be distant. The Norwth gians shall obtain all that is just and reasonable ; the King is ready to make to them every concession not contrary to the honour of Sweden and the prosperity of commerce. _ " His Majesty does not desire the Union of Nor way to augment his teiritoiy, but to secure the futOrei peace of both countries. " Norway, far from having to fear an increase of burthens, may be assured that her union with Sweden will procure her a diminution of her taxes ; thousands of arms taken from the plough to tight in a criminal cause shall be restored to their usual labours. If the Norwegians understand their true interests, they will listen to the voice of duty, of reason, and humanity ; they will avoid a war which can only be pernicious to them, and they will not expose their country to be ravaged in order to satisfy the ambition of a few in dividuals. " Our means are great ; our army is brave and warlike ; the union between the people and the King has nothing to fear from events. I quit you for a very short time.

MADRID, JUNE to. After the departure of our dearly beloved Sove reign, (who rece i ve d i n t hi s c i ty the most signal testi monies of the affection of our lellow-countrymen) in the middle of the night of the 11th, the stone on which WAS engraven the constitutional inscription, was torn from the place where it had stood. The following two inscriptions were substituted--" bong live the King." " The Country and Religion."— On the following day a crowd of our fellow citizens came to the sound of music and placed on the same spot the statue of Ferdinand VII. leaving a nume rous guard, who took care that it should be respected. —The Constitution was then solemnly burnt amidst bouts of—e , Long live the King 1 The Country and Religion! Death to Constitution,' Innovators." An edict was published ordering a general illumination. Every one wore the cockade, all the bells were rung. here were several fire-works, And the whole passed off with the greatest order. It is true that soma tious people attempted to excite an insurrection, but the great number of good citizens opposed t h esis and Kept them down ; with much prudence they sent out mmerons patroles and arrested the most mutinous. Below the statue of his Majesty is placed a trot..., which is the symbol of the Inquisition.
