TREATY BETWEEN ENGLAND, RUSSIA, PRWISI4, &ND AUSTRI Wo find in the German Papers a Treaty of Alliance, signed on Ott Ist of March, 1814. at Chintmout, in Champagne, between their Ma. jesties the Emperors of Russia and Austria, and the Kings of Eng land awl Prussia. This Treaty, which is in seventeen articles, is 4 very curious one. It proves two things :—the first, that an obsti nate resistance would have involved us in greater evils—the second, that the fall of Bnonaparte is a blessing to humanity, inasmuch as it terminates the war. ThefollOwingcre some of the Arfieb.s : " The high contracting Powers engage solemnly with each other by the present treaty, and in case Prance should refuse to areede to the conditions of peace proposed, to employ all the means of their respective States in the vigorous pursiat of the present war against her, and to employ them in perfect concert, in order to proem e for themselves and for Europe-a general peace, under the protection of which UN rights.and liberty of all elation:: may be established ai.d ensured. The engagemput sha lh not prejudice the stipulation eincit the respective States have already contracted relative to the moo, her of troops to he kept in the field against the enemy ; and it is well understood that the Courts of Austria, Russia, England, and Prussia, engage, by the present treaty, to keep constantly in the field fall 150,000 men each, without including the garri,ons, and to employ them actively against the common enemy. " To contribute in the speediest and most decisise teannr.r to• wards this great abject, his Britannic Majesty engages to furni.th sulisidy of five millions sterling, to be divided in cquil pat ts between the th ree powers. gi As the sienation of fire theatre of war, or ether cireamstahees, may make it difficult for great Britain to send the succours stipp• lated in English force its the time agreed open, and to keep up this three on the war establishment. his Ittitannie Majesty rezerii.c.i to himself the right of furnishing, to the power requie;ng, his contin gent in foreign troops in his pay, or to pay annually a suue -zul. per man for infantry, and Sol. for cava'ry." Buonaparte was acquainted with this treaty ; awl yet would pc); refrain from prosecuting jeis mad war, 1 3 4Ris, Apart; 25.--Monsi2ur received yesterday in the Lill if the throne the Commissioners of the King, who are Apia to pro ceed to the flitlerent Provinces, and spoke to tbein its follows: " Gentlemen, I have euttosttd to you au i;npoi volt mission, and I have selected you it; such a manner, that Frecellmoi who Pouf professed different opinions, should be equally aega3inteil w ith the state of France.
