PAa is, N 0.... 12.—We are assured that the peace was definitively signed on Wednesday the Sth instant, and that there is to be in the course of next week, a Royal Sitting in the Chamber of Deputies, in which a communication will be probably nude respecting this Treaty. They began yesterday to tran►fer to a part of the grand gallery of the Louvre, the Archives of the Council of State, which were placed in the Castle of the Thuilleties. Since the departure of the Prussians, the village of Mont Rouge, near Paris, has been exempt front lodging military. This favour had been solicited by the Mayor a►►d inhabitants, and granted in consi deration of the place having suffered in an extraordinary degree by the pissage of troops in the montkof July. Yesterday, however, an isiglish regiment arrived there to take up its wittier cantonments. The two tren who carried off the amount of the money collected in the arrondissement of Rochechouart, were not French officers of artil lery, as has been stated. Oue of them is an Italian officer, and the other lately in the service of Naples. The 3,000 troops which are cantoned.at St. Germain-en. Lave, form the head-quarters of a division of the English army.. All the soldiers are quartered in the castle, which was previously a military school for cavalry. The officers only are lodged on the inhabitants. These troops exact nothing from the inhabitants.

PARis, N0v.11.. CHAMBER OF PEERS. • BULLETIN Or THE SITTING OF TIIE 11Tn ROY. The sitting was opened at two o'ctock.• . . . The Minister of the Interior presented to the C.hatebettgvrojet of a law on Departmental Companies, as adopted by the Deputies. I.tc detailed the motives of this projett. Ordered to be printed and distribnted. . • . # At five o'clock the Ministers.of the King, accompanied by the•A¢ torney.General of the Royal Court of Park, brought into the Chamben an Ordinance of the King, dated this day,7 charging the Chandler di Peers to proceed without delay to the trial of Marshal Ney, accaself of high treason. . The Duke of Richelieu, President of , eite Cabinet, detailed t the Chamber the motives of this Ordinance. His speech was fellows " My Lords—The extraordinary Council of War established for thp trial of Marshal Ney, has declared itself incompetent. 1 shall n mention all the reasons on which their opinionsia founded. Suffice to say, that one of the motives is, that the Marshal is accused of hig treason. " By the terms of the Charter, it belongs to you to try these sort of crimes. It is not necessary, for exercising tins high jurisclictioti l that the Chamber be organised like an ordinary. tribunal. The fornis ♦vhich you follow in the propositions of laws, and for judging lasso/tie sort those which are presented to you, are undoubtedly sufficientiSi solemn and sufficiently sure for judging any man, whatever be dignity, whatever his rank. „ " The Chamber is then perfectly constituted for judging the crime of high treason, of which Marshal Ney has been long since accused. " No person could wish that judgment be retarded by the motive that there does not exist in the Chamber of Peers a Magistrate who exercises the office of Attorney. General. The Charter has not established such. It has not desired to establish it—perhaps it ought not. In some cases of high treason, the accuser will come from the - *itself will become accusation, and we exercise i right, in itC. ittry. xIStEJL A N0Y.19. " It is not, my Lords, merely in the name of the Kipp, that we perform this office, it is in that of France, long since indignant and eve • now btupifipd—it is even in the ilatile of Europe—and we proach, conjuring and requesting you one fur all to judge Mar. shal Ney. " It is unnecessary, my Lords, to pursue the method of Magis. trates, win) in accusing enumerate by &tail all the charges brought against the accused—they arise from the proceedings which will he submitted to you. This process subsists in full force, riotwithstard ing the incompetence, or even the cause, of it as pronounced, Tha reading of the documents which we place on your bureau, will ac quaint YOU with the charges. There is, then, no necessity to define the different crimes of which Marshal Ncy is accused ; the, are all united in the words traced by the Charter, which, after the conv s:- sion of society in France, has become its surest basis, " We accuse before you Marshal Ney of high treason, and of an outrage against the safety of the State. " We dare add, that the ,Chamber of Peers owe to the world o n signal reparation ; it must be prompt, for it is of importance t' re. stran the indignatior which bursts forth fro►n every quarter. Y will not suffer a low impunity to engender new rosettes, perhaps grever than those wd encleav ,, tir to escape. " The Ministers of the King are obliged to tell you, that till,: decision of the Council of War has become a triumph to the fac tious. It is ncce!sary that their joy be short, to. prevent its beiug hurtful. We then conjure you in the name of the King, we rcquiru you , to proceed. immedia ely to the trial of Marshal Ney, pursuing proces,4e forms you observe in the deliberation of the laws, saving -the modifications recommended by his Majesty's Qrdittance, which sisall now. be read to you. " Ey .t.his Ordinance ,your judicial functions immediately corn. mence. ~.You owe it to yourselves, my Lords, to hold no langua4c by which your sentiments towards the prisoner could be discovered.
