In the Name of the Most Holy and Undivided 'Trinity. Napoleon Buonaparte being in the power of the Allied Sove reigns, their Majesties the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Emperor of Austria, the Emperor of Rus sia, and the King of Prussia, have agreed, in virtue of the stipu lations of the Treaty of the 2:ith of March, Inn, upon the mea sures most proper to render all enterprise impossible on his part, against the repose of Europe.—[Thenfollow the manes of the Pleni yontentiaries]. ART. 1. Napoleon Buonaparte is considered by the Powers who have signed the Treaty of 25th March last, as their prisoner. 11. His custody is especially entrusted to the British Govern ment. 'The choice of the place, and of the measures which can best secure the object of the present stipulation, are reserved to his Britannic Majesty. 111. The Imperial Courts of Austria and of 'Russia, and the Royal Court of Prussia, are to appoint Commissioners to proceed to, and abide at, the place to whi di the Government of his Bri tannic Majesty shall have assigned for the residence of Napoleon Buonaparte, and who, without being responsible for his custody, will assur,e themselves of his presence. IV. H s Most Christian Majesty is to be invited, in the name of the four above-mentioned Courts, to scud in like manner a French Commissioner to the place of detention of Napoleon Pownaparte. V. His Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, binds himself to fulfil the engagonents which fall to him by the present Convention. VI. The present Convention shall be ratified, and the ratifi cations shall be exchanged, within fifteen (rays, or sooner V possi ble. In faith whereof, the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the present Convention, and have affixed thereto the seals of their arms. Done at Paris the 2d of August, in the year of our Lord 1815.

[Similar ?ntions ti' i lZte,,,ia and Prussia.] A Supplementary Gazette was published on Tuesday night, con taining the Treaties and Convention concluded at Paris in Novem ber. It is a matter of duo form to print these in the London Ga zette; but we do not suppose, that the readers of our Paper would willingly have other matter excluded for the sake of a repetition of documents which have already been given from the foreign Jour nals several weeks since. We shall collate them with oar former publications ; and, if any difference worth notice shall appear be tween tee two, we shall carefully print the amended document, or part. The Papers are exceedingly voluminous, embracing almost every topic connected with the interests of the different Powers is Europe. Those which will probably excite the most immediate attention at the present time, are the Treaties of Subsidy; by which, in addition to the large sums paid to our principal Confede rates, we engaged to make different allowances to the inferior Po tentates, which would have amounted in all to 2,319,3961. up to the Ist of April in this year, had the war so long continued ; but which, ceasing at the signature of the Definitive Treaty, have actually required only three-tburths of the sum. Besides, we have given to the Emperor of Russia, over and above what he shared with Austria and Prussia, an additional doucenr of 416,6661. on account lof the large force which he moved into France. Among the numerous diplomatic records in the present collec tion, those relating to the Abolition of the Slave Trade will afford the friends of humanity no small gratification. Certainly so much has not been done as we must all have wished, and as we were perhaps entitled to expect ; but it is most evident, that of what eve' has been done toward the entire abolition of this disgrace to the present age, Great Britain was the prime mover. aad most zea lous advocate. It appears from the Convention with Portugal, that we have not been sparing of pecuniary sacrifices for this object, not less a sum than 300,0001. is paid as a compensation for Portu guese slave-ships detained by our eruizeis. However, we have the satisfaction of knowing, that some thousands of unhappy human beings --were rescued from perpetual slavery, and many of them placed in the way of attaining civilization, and learning the great truths of the Christian religion, at the benevelent establishment of Sierra Leone. What is of still greater consequence is, that Portu gal has solemnly renounced the trade to the northward of the line ; ,to that the whole of Northers Africa 'Would be exempted from this scourge, if it were not for the inconceivable obstinacy of a single nation, the Spaniards. They are, besides, left entirely without ex cuse fur their solitary perseverance in trading for slaves to this pact of the coast: since they have joined in the general condeinna lion of the slave trade signed by all the great powers at Vienna, which only admits the plea of absolute necessity to palliate a-con tinuance in the practice ; and no such necessity for resorting to Northern Africa fur slaves either has been, or can be alleged, ou the art of Sain. It will tbr the wisdom of Parliament to de- . termi p ne in what way we may meet this conduct by correspondent measures of vigour. STATE OF FRANCE.

We 'feel it our duty, however, to lay before the public the ac tual information we have received from a friend, whom we sew lately from Paris, and who has resided there during the whole reign of Bonaparte, ot whom he was once a great admirer.
