NOV. .26. Tf Lird Castlereagh, who has so happily brought the T• , 'fity with France to a conclusion, and to whom not only hs country but all Europe owe such extensive obligation, was expected in town yesterday or this day, from Paris. Among the most satisfactory conditions of the present IVnitive arrangement with France, we have to announce an 'Afect nal provision, with ample security for the discharge of the debts, public and private, due from France to Bri tain. In the regular times of the commonwealth of nations, it was considered a point of honour, as well as of justice, to acquit, on the restoration of peace, the debts resulting from the war, as well as those remaining unsettled from the preceding peace, interrupted by it ; but in the atrocious system introduced by the Frenchllevolution, and confirm ed and consolidated by Buonaparte, it was a matter of pride in France to give no satisfaction, no justice, on these point=, and according as the wrong done by withholding I►hat was due, was more outrageous, it was mare gratifying to the insole:!ce of French predominance. In the last peace with Louis, the public claim of Britain, amounting to seve ral millions, was given up as a kind of complimentary boon upon the restoration of the Bourbons ; but the subsequent revolt to Buonaparte having cancelled the former Treaty, the gift is resumed and included in the debt, which is the object of the present settlement. The trading and mercantile classes are of course, ex tremely anxious to learn whether a Treaty of Commerce with France has been adjusted or is merely in a progressive state. This subject, which involves a variety of conflicting interests relative to native manufactures and commodities, and colonial produce, and which consequently requires the most serious and minute attention, is, we understand, re served for future consideration. The Peace, beyond all possib;:ity of question, is the most advantageous ever _obtained by Great Britain, and it is the most honourable too, because it follows upon a struggle far more arduous than any of our se verest former contests: a struggle, which combined fo reign and domestic - difficulties, in their most threaten ing excess, depriving us, at one period, of 'nearly every foreign resource, either for military assistance, or com mercial support, converting oar antient friends into emnies, and calling upon us to increase our expences, proportion as the customary means of supplying them d:mioisLed. The Journ4l de Paris states Divine service is regularly performed every Sunday, according to the rites of the Church of England, in the Temple of the Oratoire, in Paris. The band of the Guards executes the music of the Psalms ; the service is performed with great regularity ; and it is generally attended by the most respectable English families at Paris. _ _ i s Si detachment of about 100 men of the 15th Light Dra goons, who embarked at Dover on Tuesday for Ostend, have been disembarked, and marched for Canterbury. The Ticket, No. 5692, drawn yesterday a Prize of : 17 .:L20,000, 3 per Cent.

The scarlet fever with ulcerated sore throat, although not so epidemic as in some seasons, has prevailed especially in the south, and south western districts : the cases have been generally mild, and successfully treated. The prac tice of cold allusion employed in the early stage, when the degree of temperature of the skin is steadily above the na tural standard, seems now generally in use, and with good effect. In the same districts many cases have occurred of the " slow nervous fever," so well described by Dr. Ifuxham. Most of the cases could be traced to have arisen from fa tigue, anxiety, and poor diet, and not from contagion; nor did they become infectious in their course. The progress has often been slow and insidious ; so that the first acces sion could not easily be milked. Many of the cases have not terminated by crisis, but at the conclusion, have as sumed a hectical form, attended with very great debility. The atmosphere having been so unusually fine, dry, and clear, there has been less severe catarrh and rheumatism, than is mostly the case at this season ; but it is particularly r,xorntnended to the inhabitants, now to secure themselves by the timely and salutary use of flannel and fleecy hosiery, as, a cold, damp, and foggy atmosphere must be now ex pected, which will render diseases more severe, and of longer duration. The measles and hopping cough have been frequently met with, and have proved fatal in many case., through the pulmonary affection, and indeed these diseases are always most destructive at this season. Parents cannot be too early in applying for medical relief in all complaints of the lung.,, and they may see their baneful effects by referring to the annual Bills of Mortality of this city, and its parishes. Some cases of bowel derangement yet occur, accompa nied by considerable abdominal pain, and vomiting : these have been generally relieved by warm purgatives acid opiates. The impure air, sedentary occupations, anxiety, and irre. gular modes of living in this crowded city, are the externa causes of many of its diseases, and which for the most part are attended with debility ; hut any arrangement of these is not among the primary objects of our Report. he of le- VS- AL ere ire Sri • ich on ids, co the to ge. ood test
