LONDON : SUNDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1818. THE fact of the signing of the Treaty of Evacuation is now confirmed beyond all doubt. Tuesday night Mr. Kaye, the Messenger, arrived at the Foreign Office from Aix-la-Chapelle. with the important intelligence, that the Treaty for the Evacuation of France by the Allied Troops was signed on Friday the 9th instant, at Aix la-Chapelle. Mr. Kaye was the bearer of the Treaty which was tobe ratified by the Prince Regent, and a Cabinet Council was assembled for that purpose. It was to be ratified immediately by the Sovereigns in Congress. The ratification of the Regent will be dis patched forthwith, and the evacuation is to be effected by the last day of November, The intelligence was notified by the Bankers at Aix-la-Chapelle to their different correspondents in London, Paris, Frankfort, and Amsterdam. The Monileur of Monday announces officially the arrival of a courier at Paris on Sunday last from Aix-la-Chapelle, who was the bearer of the news to the King, that on the 9th of this month, the Duke of Richelieu, Plenipotentiary of his Majesty, signed, with the Plenipotentiaries of Austria, England, Prussia, and Russia, a Convention, by which the Army of Occupation will have quitted the French territory by the 30th of November. The stun which remains to be paid by France, confitrmably to the 4th Article of the Treaty of the 20th November, 1815, is definitively fixed at 263 millions, of which sum 100 millions will be acquitted in Inscriptions on de Renle (5 per Cent. Stock) at the price of the sth inst. Accounts from the French frontiers speak with ex ultation of the evacuation of France, and represent the departments to be proceeding with rapidity in the new organization of the army. It appears t hat the differences between the Prince of Tour and Taxis anti the present King of Wirtembur , , have induced the former prince to memorialize the Diet for the restoration of his ac •3:nowlcdged ri,'.tt•t Lione-Seltatimhonrg, and Lippe. Detmold have referr d their quarrel to the decision of the same tribunal. These houses have been at variance for a considerable time. THE NATIONAL REGISTER Paris Papers of Wednesday have just come to hand. The French Funds have not experienced that iniprove melit which was anticipated. fro n the intelligeuce that France was to be relieved horn foreign occupation. Oa Monday they rose not quite one half per cent. ; :Lnd on Tuesday they aeelin;xl nearly as much as they had risen the preceding day, the Five per Cents. tieing only 7tif. Private letters from the Continent state, that seve ral commercial houses at Paris have been informed by their correspondents, " that the United States of Ame rica have offered a sum of :30.000.000f, to the King of the Two Sicilies for the cession of the port of Syracuse This proposition was rejected. It is well known that Americans use every effort to procure an establishment in the Mediterranean, and that they have successively directed their attention on Porto Fcrrajo and on Mahon. In the fear of injuring the commerce of Leghorn, the Grand Duke of Tuscany has refused them the Isle of Elba for which they offered fourteen millions." The American papers ring the changes on the old subjects of the Indians, the Floridas, &c : ' to this has been lately added a third—namely the capture of Ame rican fishing vessels, for intruding upon the fishing grounds of the English colonies. Montreal papers have arrived to the 12th of Sep. tember. The new Governor of Upper Canada, Sir Peregrine Maitland, has already began the gratifying work of redress. A letter, purporting to be written by the French General ourfaud to the Ex-Empress Maria Louisa, has appeared in most of the daily papers. No one vouches for its authenticity; but, considering the efforts so visibly made for the liberation of Buonaparte, or far a relaxation of vigilance, which would have the same effect, we see no reason for qts2stioning the authenticity of the letter ; though, perhitps. the writer might he more anxious about its publication in England, than its delivery at Parma. The internal evidence is also very strong in its favour. None but a real adherent of Buonaparte, and an imitator of his effrortery, could speak of a man as "dying in the most dreadful torments and in the most prolonged agony," because he is re stricted to a space of several leagues, in an island which has long been voluntarily inhabited, and because he refuses to take exercise there in the presence of a British Officer. He is well known to be attended by a very expensive suite; yet the first paragraph of this letter represents him to he " without friend', without rela tions, without intelligence of his wife, or of his son, without consolatlon." May we net add—without a France to tyrannize over, without a Europe to ravage, without a D'Engliien or a Palm to execute publicly, or a Wright or a Toe:;.,aint to murder in a dungeon, or a body of Magistrates to :.bout (as at Milan) for defend ing their city ; or any consolatory hope of a return to the other practices in which nearly 20 years of his life were passed, except front the liberality of an English public THE FUNDS.—The final settlement of the Army of Occupation quitting the French territories was expect ed to have had a considerable effect upon the British Funds, and accordingly speculations to an immense amount were made by monied men ; tut when the ac count was communicated, stock varied very little. The depression which took place on Thursday, is attributed to a different cause ; on that day there was an unex pected issue of New Exchequer Bills to the amount of 100,0001. The surprise and astonishment which this influx of paper in the market created is scarcely credi ble, as it was generally understood that no fresh issue of Exchequer Bills would take place this year. Con sols were then at 761, but immediately fell to 754. At the time of the issue, the old bills were from 225. to 255. premium ; but the new ones being issued at 20s. caused a reduction of old and new to t 9s. premium, and on Saturday they were as low as 175.; the issue taking place on the eve of paying the dividends, gave rise to a report that it was in consequence of the scar city of cash in the Treasury. There is at present a very great scarcity of cash, and good bills, which were a short time since eagerly sought after to be discounted at 4 per cent. find a difficulty in being done at 5 per cent which is attributed to a determination on the part of the Beak of England to limit the quantity of dis count. The London Bankers are said to have issued circulars to their country connexions, informing them that in future their discounts must also be limited : and thus a check is put to the immense quantity of pa. per which has been in circulation. The tumults of the manufacturing districts seem almost to be dying of old age ; at least they are now but little attended to The partisans of confusion seem to be aware of this; and are said to send repre sentations to London in letters dated from Manchester and Stockport, descriptive of tumults present and fu ture, which have no existence, and are likely to have none. The rise which has taken place in the standard of copper ore is considerable The advance, on Thursday week, at Poole, was 91. a ton ; making an increase of '2 11. within the last five weeks ; or from 1 261. to 1471. a ton. AIX-LA-CIL4PELLE. OCT 10 —Though a little indisposed, the Emperor Alexander has tea been for a day prevented front attending to business. He last night honoured Mr. Clarkson, the zealous and inderatigable friend of the abolition of the slave trade, with an audience of up wards of an hour. This honour way the more striking, us Mr. Clarkson, we understand, appears here without any commission from the African institution, or from any other body of men whatever, and without any connexion with the English Government, but merely as an individual using his personal eiiiirts to promote a cause' to which the best part of his valuable life has been devoted. Being personally known to the Emperor Alexander, and having a full confidence in his openly expressed zeal to secure the abolition, he anticipated some advantage to the cause, from a personal interview, and a kind of friendly communication ; although he had no dcebt of the disposition of . the British Monster at Congress, to exert his best official endeavours to promote the object which he has so much at heart. The present state of the slave trade question is generally known. All the Powers of Europe have already alio. liAed it, excopt Spain and Portugal. The former has already abolished . it north of the line, and has entered intoa convention to abolish it south of the line in May 1810 ; the latter has abolished it north of the line, but has as yet fixed no definitive period for its abolition south of the line. The object of the abolitionists, and that which Mr. Clarkson wished particularly to press upon the Emperor Alexander, is to procure front the latter power, a limitation of the trade in point of time similar to that agreed upon by the firmer. In addition to the universal prohibition of the trade, they arc anxious that, for its more complete prevention, it should he declared piracy. These two objects Mr. Clarkson represented to Alexander, and we arc assured that the result of the interview was highly gratifying to all the friends of humanity; his Imperial Majesty having listened to the details with the most sympa thising interest, having fully entered into the policy recommended, and promised his most cordial and effica cious support. The price of provisions at Aix-la-Chapelle, consider• in; the great influx of strangers, is very reasonable.— Beef, mutton, and veal, 61 per lb. ; fish is bud and very dear ; butter, 22d. ; bread, )it per lb. ; chickens, 2s. 63. a couple; vegetables, excepting onions, very cheap; cheese bad and dear; eggs, 8d per dozen ; hares, 3s. Gd. each ; partridges, 4s. a brace; ducks, Ss. 4d. a couple ; thrushes, 3d. each : turkeys, 3s. Bd. ; coals, 15s. a tun ; candles, 10d. per lb. On Wednesday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the following Captains were sworn into the command of their respective ships, viz. Captain T. Larkins to the Marquis Camden; and Capt. H. Scott, to the Charles Grant, for Bombay and China; Capt. C. Graham, to the William Pitt, for St. Helena, Bencoolen, and China. CITY BUSINESS.—On Tus:sday the Lord Mayor held a Court of Aldermen at Guildhall, for the general dispatch of public business. 17,2001. Orphan Stock was drawn off and annihilated : and the Chamberlain was directed to give the usual notice in the public papers, for the respective parties to attend, and be paid the same. The customary precepts were ordered to be issued for the ensuing Lord Mayor's day . On Monday evening selmight, the Earl of Derby, the Lord Lieutenant of the county of Lancaster, gave a most splendid ball and supper to about two hundred persons. consisting of the Nobility and Gentry of Lan. cashire and Cheshire in the vicinity of his noble man. sion, at Knowsley. Among the company were observ. ea, Lord Wilton, Lord Belgrave, the Earl and Count ess of Sefton, Lord Molyncux, Lord Chohnondcley, &c. &c. The festivities of the evening were kept up till late hour, and the guests departed to their respective homes highly delighted with the urbanity and attention of the noble host and hostess. In a field belonging to Wm. Helyar, Esq. of Coker. Court, near Yeovil, Somerset, there have been lately discovered some very fine specimens of Roman pave ment, with figures in alto reteva, representing two warriors bearing a stag, suspended on a pole across their shoulders, and a dog underneath, together with some Roman coins of Tetricus, Crispinus, and Vespasian.— Tessclated pavements were found in three fields, one of which formed the floor of a room 14 feet wide, and 30 long. The Prince Regent has generally a select party but by no means numerous, at Carlton House when he does not dine out, which is seldom, in consequence of his daily visit to Kew Palace. It was the intention of of his Royal Highness to have sojourned the greater part of the present month at the Pavilion, Brighton, but all his arrangements for the autumn and summer have been deranged, in consequence of the Queen's illness. It is said that some of our countrymen who were in veigled into the service of the republic of Venezuela, as ()dicers, with splendid promises of military rank and honours, arc actually working their passag hone as common sailors on board merchant ships.
