If these bases shoeld not be adopted; the ender. lc? are ut sethooised to receive or propose.any *DLT OW rat MINISTERS UT THE ALLIED SOTEIEIG NS. P. : , is, Sept. 22. The undersigned, &c. &c. have received the note in 'bids Messiest., the Plenipoientierics of France have replied to the communications matte to them in the conference of the 20th of this month, with re. ference to a &IWO', arrangement. They. ha ve been surprised to find in it a long series of observatious oft the right of conquest, on the nature of those ware to which it is applicable, and on the reasons wltich should induce the Contracting Powers not to recur to it in the present instance. The undersigned consider themselves so much the more fully exempted from the necessity of following the Plenipotentiaries of Franc* in their reasoning, inasmuch as no one of the propositious which they have made, by command of their august Sovereigns, with a view to the regulation of the present and future relations between Europe and France, was founded on the right of conquest, and because they have carefully avoided in their communications what. ever might lead to a discessioa of that right. The Allied Powers always considering the restoration of ,eider, anti the confirmation of the Royal Authority in France as the principal object of their proceed ing., but persuaded at the same time that France • canes' enjoy a solid peace whilst neighbouring na. ! Mots tontines to cherish with regard to her either , •bitter ewimosities or pert:Waal alarms„ have recog. Oiled the paieriple of a jest satisfaction for losses .and Past sicrifietwl. as welt as that of a sufficient .truarasitee Aar the f.ttove wvrity of neighbotiring counirielki as ti o 41114 Zr 4 11 ; o ,tutting an end to ; $ll. cli-,coo tents and spprikeusiLo. , consequently -11 e the awl). true bases of every solid and durable ar. fearment. It is only upon these two ofr.tci,oes (het the Allied Nein has. t d their pv. 4 )0414004, and in drawing op the prof* which the undersigned have had the honour to trensrniv to the Plenipotentiaries of France, they were distinctly expressed iu esety one of its Aides. The Plenlpeteolisries of Prance themselves admit the first of these principles, whilst they remain si jest with respect le theses:owl. It is, howev-r, shun. , deafly clear, that the necessity of guarantees for the future, has become mote sensible and urgent ; titan at the period of the signature of the Treaty of Paris. The sabsequesit events hive carried rooster seam; and alarm to every part of Europe ; at a mo ment when the S4.vereigits and their People flattered themselves that after so many afflictions, they were , about to enjoy a lung interval of. peace, these events' have every where produced agitation, as well as the burthens slid sacrifices inseparable from a general arming. It is impossible so soon to.efface from the minds of colemporaries the recollection of such a convulsion. That which was sufficient to satisfy them in 181 I, cannot content them in 1813. The line of demarcation which appeared In guarantee the severity of the States bordering on France, at the epoch of the Treaty of the 30th of May, can no longer :satiety the just pretentious which they now prefer. ! It is indispansible that France should offer some new pledge of security. She ought to take this as well from sentiments of justice and expedielicy, es from her own interest well understood. For, in order that the French may be happy and tranquil, it is absolutely necessary that their neighbours should be happy and ',wagtail also. Such are the potted.' considerations that have in duced the Allied Powers to demand of France some territorial cessions. The inconsiderable extent of these cessions, and the selection of the points upon which they hear, sufficiently prove, that they have nothing in common with views of aggrandisement and conquest, anti that the security of bordering nations is their only object. These cessions are not of a nature to compromise the sebetantial integrity ef France. They embrace only detached districts or points remote from her territory ; they cannot really weaken her in any relation either administrative or military, tier can her defensive system be affected by them.. France will remain not the less one of the best rounded and best fortified States of Europe, as well as one of the richest in means of every descrip. Con for resisting the danger of invasion. Without entering into these higher considerations, the Plenipotentiaries of France admit, however, the, principle of territorial cession, as far as respects the points added to old France by the Trusty of Paris. The undersigned find it difficult An understand upon what this distinction cut be founded, dr under the point of view adopted by the Allied Powets,, it. whet the emential difference between anciont nod re- , cent territory consists. It is linpos.ible t o 'o pp os e, that the Plenipotentiaries of France nth to revive.i.t the actual state of affairs the doctrine t in' p;etecd ed inviolability of the Frisch ritnry. They too well know that this doctrine, put fu„ oard by the chiefs a'i4 apostles of theyevolutionsry system, form ed one of the mist revolting,cliapters in that arbi. *very code which Oily wished to impose on Europe. use--~-~----- .:: . . . .

The sentence was read to the Marshal at three sechick•in the morning, and he was told Ott it would •be esedifitti at eight. At six o'clock he saw bit Ledy ; be held her for some time seated on his knees, saying to her, " this is a coup d'&al, It is a mil. fortune, my dear friend, less, perhaps, than others which have also fallen out you since our revolutions; Ithe Y have already cost you your mother; a terrible accident has deprived you of your sister ; what has happened to me is tut another accident—l have not lost my honour." The Lady burst into tears. Ile asked to see his children, sloe answered that she would bring them after she had been to the" King ; `but he insisted, without telling her, however, the few moments that he hall to live; he ordered that they should come immediately. His four children were then brought to him between 'seven and eight o'clock. Ile had written to his brother.in:law to come ; he requested a moment longer to wait for him -it was refused him. Ile wrote some lines to his o ld father, who is said to be very venerable for his virtues ; then conversed some minutes with the Curate of St. Sulpice in private, and then said, 46 let us go." When he had reached the Observatory, as they wished to carry him further on, be said, " we I are well here;" he himself commanded the men to place themselves, and perceiving that the Odicer re. [pained silent, cried out himself " fire!" and fell with the greatest courage. The Curate wrote to his family that he died like a brave soldier and a good Christian. It was then half-past eight. The p o or Lady not knowing then what had lisp. pened, ran In find Marshal Oudinot, or some other friend who might accompany her to the King. She could God rot. one ! At nine o'clock she came alone to the Thuilleries ; in the enti•chamber of the King, she saw the Duke Felts* (Cletke,) cast herself in hie arms, and exclaim. ed with soba, '••let me see the King—save my hest band—sare your fellow in arms." He repulsed her an brutally, as to almost throw her to the iroutld.— She turned to en Officer, and bogged hiet ~her' to the King ;Ale aitswereil, •' his Majesty his just breakfasted ; this intrusion now would hope/ Mm ; you will set him mete ea►ilr in two hours." • The Duke de D4ras, a witness of this batharous i scene, then tame to her, and said in her ear, . 1 . un.; happy women—he is no more." At these words, her grief knew sto bounds; she cried out to the Duke of Velure, called him a " monster, an executioner, the assassin of the father of her children." BY ANOTHER COItRESPONDKNT. When Ney firsf spoke of the capitulation, he de clared he would hare died " his sabre a la rscria,if batinOt. trusted to the faith of the Allies." His exclamation, wha t his. Advocates triesho Claim ezemptinn (or him, as born in territory now ',did to Prussia, viz. " I am a Frenchman, and will Ale a Frenchman !" produced a very evident effect en the audience, and his general behaviour during the last days had much effect on his countrymen, who could see a man of such acknowledged military services and talents cut off at a period when, though a peace is signed, there is in every reflecting man's conCempla. film, prospects of fresh struggles end disturbances in Europe. Had Marlborough fallen (said a Freed(. man to me, the other day) when he first desertedA cause and betrayed a King, England would not so easily have redeemed the ignominy of the reigns of Charles 11. and James 11. Perhaps, added he, You, crulres perissez de inane, and are not sorry foie* our klarlboroughs cut Oft before the day of vengeance arrives.—A Peer, long attached to Louis XVIII., was overheard to say, 46 we should pause before we tako away the life of such a matt." When Ney'a wife left her unfortunate husband to solicit mercy from the King, he enjoined bee in strong terms not to compromise her own dignitter his honour. 44 I pardon my enemies," said be, " and I cheeks my children trot to reveuge my death ; God send it may be serviceable to my country. In joining Na. poleen, when I thought the King had left France, I committed a fault ; but I shall appear before my God with a clear conscience." .

From Paris to our frontiers, say these articles, the Allied troops are all in motion, and the muds are covered with military of all arms, artillery, baggage, &c. All the Allied ar mies, however, are not to abandon France so hastily ; but it appears from the Brussels intelligence, that all the British troops beyond the contingent of 25,000 infantry and 5000 cavalry, which remain in Enact, are coming to Belgium.
