The pirate letters received within the last two days from Paris to the 2-tth inst. state, th 4 all the . impediments to peace had at length been re moved ; and that the treaty would be signed on Weduesdav t the esth. The departure of the .Emperor of Russia and K ing of Prussia for England was expected to take place To-morrow. The Emperor of Germany ‘vJl Fuceed aLotit the same time to Italy. 'Flint the treaty will he signed immediately there can be no doubt. - The spkudid preparations for public rej.oicing, now making in this country, under the authority of Govern ment, prove that Ministers are aware of no serious obstacle to the signa'ure of the treaty. It is highly probable that it will be brought over by Lord Castlereagh in the course of the ensuing week. ' Since writing the above, Paris Papers to the 25th hive been received, and it is still reported that the race w• l s signed on the 25th, though - neither the .Ibaitew• nor the other Papers afford any official information upon the sub ject. The latter, however,. contain two paragraphs whi,:h deserve great attention. The first communicate •t o us the following outline of the treaty : " The ancient limits and possessions of France—No tri bute—no indemnities- 7 --All the works of arts•p/undereti 14:Iv and Germany to be kept by France." • second paragraph adds, that not only will France re cover-aller colonies, and her ancient limits, 'but that she is to have t suitable accession of territory : but where is not stated. • . The papers contrast these conditions with those demanded of and accepted by Buonaparte " The surrender of three of the strongest fortresses of France to the Allies as pledges of his sincei ity—The repay ment of the contributions levied on foreign powers, to the amount of 1800 millions of francs, about 75 millions ster ling—The restoration of all the works °fait taken from Italy, Germany, Src." Upon which The Co'iritr of last night makes the following observations : Now ceitainly there is no comparison be tween the conditions which the Allies might have obtained horn Buonaparte, and which they sow demand of Louis XVIII. .It• will, however, be said, and tinly, that they could place no 'confidence in a man who had violated every treaty, and broken • every promise he ever made. But with every respect for the character of Louis XVIII. we must say, that we think the terms granted him, supposing the statement to be correct, are such AS the Allies were not jus tified in giving. The ancient limits we do not object to. But surely it cannot be meant to cede all her colonial pos. sessions; it• cannot be meant to surrender to her the Isles of France •and Bourbon, though we -are told by a para.- graph in these papers to infer that it is-I • In -the present penury of Fruice, it was liberal and proper perhaps not to demand the repayment of the contributions levied by France on foreign. countries. But why allow het to keep all the monutnents of arts? There- is a tone rather of complaint against this country, as , if she had entered upon the war. just terminated, upon a false pretext.
