Tiqr, NATIONAL lIEGISTER.. - - • Lord Castiereaeh arrived at Basle on the 171 h ult. and it is supposed Cauliacourt haS reached that place also. Accounts have been received of the arrival of the Duke de Berri at Jersey. It is said he is conducted by Chiefs, who in the former wins of La Vendee, exhibited the most enter prising and desperate valour, and who have confidently en gaged, that 40,000 men will be in arms as soon as the Duke appears on his native soil. An invitation was, it is reported, sent some time since, to Brazil, by the Provisional Authorites in Spain, for the Infanta Carlota, consort of the Prince Regent of Portugal, and sister of Ferdinand VII. to return and hold the reins of govern ment during - the detention of the male branches of the family in their present captivity in France. The following further particulars have been published re specting the treaty s ;id to have been concluded between Ferdinand .V 11. and Napoleon, on the reality of which, se veral of the daily prints iosit. Nothing official has, how ever, vet appeared on the subject. it is maintained that a Duke of San Cantos, a Spanish tic bleman who has been im mured with Ferdinand, w.ts the person deputed to convey the treaty to the Regency at Madrid. lle arrived at that city on the 4th ult. with a letter from Ferdinand the Seventh, dated from his prison at Valency. in which, after announcing ins own good health, and that of his uncle and brother, he expressed the satisfaction which he felt with the sacrifices of the nation for his person, and its exertions in his behalf. fie is farther made to praise the persevering spirit of the English, and the admirable conduct of Lord Wellineton, together with that of the Spanish Generals and the Allies.. After this preamble, Ferdinand is directed to sav, that he has been spaqtaneeuily invitcd by the Emperor Napoleon, through the Imperial Ambassador, Count Laforet, to con e:tide a treaty of peace with France, the basis of which shall be, the liberation of the captive Monarch's person, and the I ieteaa it v•of his dominioes, without any clause derogatory to the independence, booour, or interests of Spain. For this purpose, the Duke of San Carlos was authorised to treat with Laforet, and a treaty of peace had been formed, which was now transmitted to the Urgency for their ratification. The course adopted by this body has been prompt and decisive; they declared without a moment's discussion of the treaty, in conformity with a Decree of the Cot tes of Jan. 1, 18 11, as well as with the existing obligations to (teat Britain, that they can entretain no proposition for negotiating with Buo naparte for the suspension of arms, or for any corn position or compromise whatsoever, so long as their King is a prisoner, or except its coejouction with their Allies. To this effect the Regency are said to have. teturned a letter, by the Duke of San Carlos to King Fel &nand, inelosing the above Decree: and further explaining to his Majesty the impossibility of ratifying such a treaty, which (being the work of Buonaparte tingly) was null and void in all its parts. The Regency thought it their duty, in full coatideneu of the rectitude of their principles, to make a statement to the Allies of the whole traosaction ; and such a communication was expected to be t Fairs:nit ted to the British Government by its Minister, Sir 11. Wellesley.--They farther intimated their natural con v;ction, that this nye! wry, so contral v to all the preceding declara•ions of Buonararte, had been imposed upoa him only by the net e-sity of his aft'airs, in which they saw an ad- C116011;11 1 . C.15011, and felt a new stimulus for devoting them selves to the support, of the war; hoping also that Great Britaio would be animated by a similar conviction of the necessity of continuing her exertions till the tyrant wile) go %erns France should be no longer capable of disturbing Eu rope, which had been so many years the victim of his ambi tion. The treaty is said to be dated Valance, Dec, 11, 1813, FEB. G. and comprised in 15 ariieles. Some of them. as to the in dependence of Spain, and the restitution of Ferdinand, are of the tenour before specified. The phiccs occupied by the Fiends are to be restored in their present state. Ferdinand - engages to maintain the integrity of Spain in all her pos sessions, particularly in those of Pot t Mahon and Ceuta. A military convention is to be concluded, whereby the English and French troops are to evacuate the Peninsula at the same time. Buonaparte and Ferdinand agree to in tintain the ma ritime rights of Europe. such as they aro said to have b settled by the !teats' of Utrecht, ..nd to have existed in 17 All the Spaniards attached to .la=epli, are to be restored to their country, which they have go well and faithfully served' The gartison of Pampluna, together with the prisoners at Cadiz, Corunna, Are. placed in the hands of the Etrzlih, to.

A s ubscription had been made for the unfortunate inhabitants exiled from Hamburg') by Davonst, and upwards of worth had been contributed in one day, in that small island. . It is reported that, in the last sitting of the French senate, one of the Senators made a mot ion, which gave great di- , -- pleasure to Buonaparte, but which met the concur, epee of the greater part of the Senate. On•lthe next day, when the Senators repaired to their usual place of Meeting, they found the doors closed, and their entrance barred by parties of cavalry. It is further rumoured, that forty of them wet c arrested.

At present the number of houses in the city is about 7500, and of inhabitants 200,000 ; and such is the activity displayed in rebuilding the city, that in a. few I years there will remain but few traces of the desolations cont. initted by the modern Attila.
