THE NATIONAL REGISTER. LONDON: :VOA - WY, OCTOBER 19,1818. 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 time 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 diarent correspondents in London, Paris, Frankfort, and Amsterdam. The Moniteur 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 o.Tupation will have quitted the French territory by the 30th of November. The sum which remains to ba paid by France, conformably to the 4th Article of the Treaty of the 20th November, 1815,15 definitively fixed at 265 millions, of which sum tOO millions will be acquitted in Inscriptions on de Rente (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 that the differences between the Prince of Tour and Taxis and the present King of Wirtemburg, have induced the former prince to memorialise the Diet for the restoration of his ac knowledged rights Lippe-Schaumbourg and Lippe- Devoid have referred their quarrel to the decision of the tinte tribunal. These houses have been at variance for a considerable time. kris Papers of Wednesday have just come to hand. The French Funds have not experienced that improve ment which was anticipated, fro n the intelligence that France was to he relieved from foreign occupation. On Monday they rose not quite one half per cent. ; and on Tuesday they declined nearly as much as they had I.s.en tile preceding day, the Five per Cents. being only jr.&c. TIIE NAT/ONAI. REGISTER Private letters from the Continent state, that seve ral commercial houses at I'aris have been informed by their correspondents, " that the United States of' Ame rica have ctlered a sum of j0.000.000f, to the King of the Two Siciliea ibr the cession of the port of Syracuse This proposition was rejected. It is well known that Americans use every efl,,rt to procure an establishment in the Mediterranean, and that they have successively directed their attention on Porto Furrajo and on Mahon. In the fear of injuring the commerce of Leghorn, the Grand Duke of Tuscany has refused them the Isle of Elba fur 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, fi►r 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 begun the grata' ) ing work of redress. It appears from the most recent letters from Constan tinople, that the ag itation among the Janissaries is not yet wholly allayed The Divan have held several coun cils to deliberate upon the note which should be re turned to the Russian Ambassador, in reply to the one which he presented to the Divan. A part of the wines destined fur his Majesty the Emperor of Russia have been seized by the officer of customs of the Low Countries, for a false declaration of their prices.—Paris Paper. A letter, purporting to be written by the French General Gourgaud to the Ex-Empress Maria Louisa, has appeared in most of the daily papers. No one vouches for i's authenticity ; but, considering the efforts so visibly made for the liberat i on of Buonaparte, or for a relaxation of vigilance, which would have the same effect, we see no reason for questioning the authenticity of the letter ; though, perhaps, the writer might be 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 effrontery, 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 rethses to take exorcise 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 be " without frtend4, without rela tions, without intelligence of his wife, or of his son, without consolation." May we not add—without a France to tyrannize over, without a Europe to ravage, without a D'hinghien or a Palm to. execute publicly, or a Wright or a Toussaint to murder in a dungeon, or a body of Magistrates to shoot (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 ? THC FUNDS.—The final settlement of the Army of Occupation quitting the Frenvil territories was expect ed to have had a considerable efl'ect upon the British Funds, and accordingly speculations to an immense amount were made by monied men ; but 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 100,0601. 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 764, but immediately fell to 75k. At the time of the issue, the old bills were from Us. to 255. premium ; but the new ones being issued at 20s. caused a reduction of old and new to I 9s. premium, and on Saturday they were as low as 17s. ; 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 ut 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 Bank 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 ore 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 Asa 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 211. within the last five weeks ; or from 126 L to 1471, a lam 41X-LA-CHAPELLE. OCT. 10 —Though a little indisposed, the Emperor Alexander has not been for a day prevented from attending to bushiest'. He last night honoured Mr. Clarkson, the zealous and indefatigable friend of the abolition of the slave trade, with' un audience of up wares of an hour. This honour was the more striking, as 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 efforts to promote a cause to which the best part of his valuable life has been devoted. Being peronally known to the Emperor Alexander, and having a fall confidence in his openly expressed zeal to .secure tlte abolition, he 6 anticipated some advantage to the cause, from a personal interview, and a kind of frit:tally communication ; although he ' had no doubt of the dispositicn of the British Minister at Congress, to exert his beat 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 ego. limbed it, except Spain and Portugal. The firmer has already abolished it north of the line, and has entered into a convention to uholiih it south of the line in May 1810; the latter has abolished it north of the line, but has as vet fixed no definitive period for its abolition south of the fine. The object of the abolitionists, and that which Mr. Clarkson wished particultrly to im press upon the Emperor Alexander, is to procure from. the latter power, a' limitation of the trade in point of time similar to that agreed tpon by the former. In addition to the universal prohibition of the trade, they are anxious that, fear its more complete preventicn, it should be declared piracy. These two objects Mr. Clarkson represented to Alexander, and we are 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 ing the great influx of strangers, is very reasonable.— Bear, mutton, and veal, 6d. per lb.; fish is bad and very dear ; butter, 22d. ; bread, lid. per lb. ; chic Lena, 2s. 6d. a couple ; vegetables, excepting onions, very cheap ; cheese bad and dear ; eggs, 8d per dozen ; hares, &. 6d. each ; partridges, 4s. a brace ; ducks, Ss. 4d. a couple ; thrushes, 3d. each : turkeys, 3s. Bd. ; coals, 15s. a ton ; 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 Cain. 11. Scott, to the Charles Grant, for Bombay and China; Capt. C. Graham,,to.the William Pitt, for St. Helena, Belcoolen, and China. CITY BUSINESS.—On Tuesday the Lord Mayor held a Court of Aldermen at Guildhall, for the general dispatch of public business. 17,2001. Orphan Stoek 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 sante. The customary precepts were ordered to be issued for the ensuing Lord Mayor's day.. • On Monday evening sc'nnight, 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, nt Knowsley. Among the company were observ ed, Lord Wilton, Lord Bel wave. the Earl•and Count ess of Sefton, Lord Mulynettx, Lord Cholmondeley, &c. &c. The festivities of the evening were kept up till a late hour, and the plats departed to their respective homes highly delighted with the urbanity and attention of the noble host and hostess. _ _ _ In a field belonging to Wm. Helvar, Esq. of Coker- Court, near Yeovil, Somerset, there have been lately discovered some very fine specimens of Roman pave ment, with figures in also relievo, 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, an l Vespasian.— Tesselated pavements were found in three fields, one of which formed the floor of a rood 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 Veito.uels, us officers, with splendid promises or military rank and honours, are actually working their passage home as common sailors on board merchant ships.
