NOVLII3Ei: 18, 1815. *I bier days' Paris Papers are now due. Their tion-ari isalis att,ibnted to the state of the wind.—' We nevertheless expect an arrital every moment. Government, we understand, are not In possession of later itidellitteaCe from Paris than Sunday everiing, when Mr. PLANTA, who is expected to bring the re tified Convention, had not left the French capital. A Most Important point has been gained by the Peerage of BGNAPARTS, and those whom Louis has attempted to degrade from their rank and stations by his arbitrary and proscribing decrees, in the deci sion of the Council of War, anti the admission which has been wrong from the Government, that NEI( ' is a Peer, who could not be degraded by the orders of the King simply, and that he has a right to be tried by the Chamber of Peers. It is a triumph over despotiqm, and a sentence solemnly 'pronounced by a high tribunal, declaring two most important acts of the King to be illegal, viz. his Proclamation of the 6th of May, and his Ottlintuice of the 24th of July, which, with a matchless stretch of Royal authority arid equal indiscretion, denounced as cri minal and deserving of punishment all who had held offices under the late Government, and fired the, stigma of disgrace on ail whom the nation had ho noured. It seems now established that the King could not do this. In what a state of degradation must a country be sunk, if a King could exercise such a power with approbation or impunity ! What safeguard could men have for their lives, and all that ,• . renders life valuable. were such power admitted to reside in .the mere breath of loyalty ? The King confers honour •for some veal or supposed services - r laved to the state by the individuals so honoured; ioila li h ‘.: is essential for th e maintenance of Constitu t - !thirty, individual right, and public justice, :that thiltoxyer of taking away thi‘se dignities slivuld . tot bp IndetttOtety entrusted to the King alone.— Tbo /wind tivnlqtntion of France, which the . amain; to restore, cootorred rto4oett ilapretni • was remit-red for the weak Government of Louts X V111.,t0 asserniftriviteges, and exercise a despotic . authority amidst a nation burning for liberty, which Pone of his preOeceSsors. not • even the last and greatest, ever dia.(' to claim. No wonder the po. pular mind in France is wrought up to ferment, ' and rejoices in every check which •leil presumption receives. It ti.ll its+ from the de is n of incompe tency, thit al the other persons a,... are considered 1)g Ike King as having abdicated the Peerage, were Peers also at the period of Nsy's alleged crime, con voy' fitly are so still, the King's individual power to degrade them being denied; and it is believed that Star will demand that his trial shall take placebe. fore them. This is an awkward labyrinth into which the French Government has got. It is also said that the trial will be dela)ed until a law shall he passed, giving the Chamber of Peers the attributes of a high Ccurt of Jorice. But thisappeara unnecessary, if the Charter is to be abided by. M. BOURDONNAIei plan of a genoral amnesty is unquestionably the only and the best means of extricating the Government of Louts from the danger and . perplexity in which it has involved itself by its thirst for vengeance. What good could be derived (tom the punishment of Nt:y now ? What good effects have resulted from the sa il crifice of LAREDO Y ERE ? A ilitriburgh Mail arrived this forenoon. The only article of interest which it brings is the fol lowing : [ia►stem, Nov. 6.—We have received from Paris some interesting documents respecting the payments to be mule by France, the evacuation of that country, 'the organization of the army that is to remain there, and the departure of the other troops. 1. It is laid down as a principle, that in the three first years from the Ist of December, 1815, France is not to pay above 270 millions annually. 2. Of these 270 millions 110 are to be in part of the indemnity of 700 mitlin s, so that this sum will be paid in five years. The 130 millions are to serve under the following conditions fur the sopport of the occupying array. 3. Though France engages itself to the complete support of this army, the Allied Powers, in order to afford that kingdom some relief, wilt, if circum stances allow, lessen the number of Irqops from year to yealr, in order that in this manner these L3O mil lions may be equal to the expences of maintaining • the whole force, which will amount to 150,000. 4. Of this, should this diminution not be possible, France will have to ply the difference between 130 snillions and the reol moues of maintaining the TIIE STATESMAN• tionps ; but in no case more than N millions antra* ally. • 5. As France in the first three veers ludo no ease V lo pey ataie WO millions, that ishich.ia aantiligo‘ -account of -itie . above -difference, and which in the, nos ustfavosraille supposition ertinot eiceed 100 millings, for the whole five years, shall be paid in the fourth and fifth year*. But should the 'Fre . ni , Go. tenement think itself then unable to es).eetl * 270 millions, this . payment *ill be to be eeferre the sixth year., but upon sufficient security. . 0. If, after the expiration of three years, the mill tar,y Occupation shall not be considered as nottessary for political reasons, the number of troops *ill be diminished in proportion to the part of tho in demity in money still in arrear.. France Can then polio end to the occupation by paying thie rest, either in ready money, or in some other miner, which the Allies may consider as equally satisfactory. 7. The Allied Courts will leave to the French Go. vernment the objects of reclamation in the utiese.. cuted articles of the Treaty of Paris, 1814, an the French Government has to slake proposals for, the speediest liquidation and repayment or sum claimed. An additional article of the 15th of Oct. fixes, that to accelirate as much as possible the era. citation of the French territory, wept by th'. , troops that remain to occupy it, a Commis%ion •hall ltap. pointed, which is to regulate the marching, and re pit upon the periods of the e►acuation. Further, on the 22d of October, the Nlinisters o the four great Po were agreed upon the following die. posi►ions of the armies that remain in Faller I secure the repose of Europe, and upon the depar ture of the other troops: 1. To form the European army, as it is coi!'ivi ink the Neves Verbal of tho conference from which we extract this, Austria, Prussia, England, and Russii, furnish earl' 30,000 men, infantry. cavalry, and ar tillery, in the proportions to be settled by the foto' Powers ; however, the C.ltalry shall not make more than a sixth, nor less than a tenth part of the whole contingents. Bavaria furnishes 10.000 men; Dvo mark, Saxony, Hanover, and Wirtemberg, each 5000 men. t. The Duke of Wellington is Commander in Chief of this Army, with unlimited full potters to employ it in conformity with the object, according to the instructions to he given him by the four Courts, paving, however, all possible attention to what is most suitable for each corps. The troops of each Power, however, always remain toge,ther, an under the immediate commands of their Generals, and Ilre to beplaced, as much as possible, on the line of corn mtutication with their States. All that relates to the internal economy anti discipline of each corps, is the ba4neas of the General rnmommling it. 3. The Commanders of each sepsiate cov.us acc tinder the chief command of the like of Wellington, and have to send their reports to him. 4. The French Government is to b" desired to set tle, without delay, with the Duke of NVellington re. specting the maintenance of the occupying army, and every thing connected %Writ. 5. Respecting the relations of the orenpying army and its Commander to the French Government, the :Ministers reserre to themselves to take a definitive resolution as far as it has not been already done by the Military Convention annexed to the principal Treaty. 6, And lastly, restiecting the evacuation of the French tend ory by the other troops, the Deka of Wolliogtou is charged to employ himself without de lay upon the measures nece.sary trr accelerate this evacuation, as well as with ilea arrangements to he made an this subject with the French Gorernment, and with the Commanders.ith•Chief of the Allied . Armies. STATESMAN Os FILE, TWO O'CLOCK. We have this moment received thr whole of the French Papers due, being those of Monday, 'Tues day, nod Wednesday last. We can only briefly no tice their contents : 'rile Chamber of Peers met on Monday, •hen the Duke of art:unary submitted an'Ordinanoe of the King, dated Sunday, in addition to the former, direct- ing the Peers to undertake the trial of Aarehal NLY. The new Ordinance regulates definitively the forms to be observed in the trial. The Chamber, is addition to this, received 199 papers relative to the chargcs. A proposal that absent Peers be allowed to vote by proxy was heard; and ordered to be teken.into con. sideration. The' Chamber afterwards adjourned to hear the Report that was to be made relative 'in the trial of Marshal NEY by the Commissioner appointed to proceed in it. We have no detail of the proceediugs of the Cham bers on Tuesday, as the report is furnished by nutho. rity the ttel l i day, nod would not appear till Thiors day. But the Journal de Paris informs us that many important questions were agitated upon the first Ordinance of the King, which authorises the Chamber of Peters to try Marshal Nror.--;-- .. -One was, whether R simple Inftintity of votes or tiro. thirds would be required for the se . ttlenco; fruit *be. ther any appeal might be made against the decision. The Ordinance of the 12th decided this by taking, that " tl:e hearink of witnesses, the elimination and execution of the said de6ve, shall he in the forms prescribed for the Special Criminal Courts, namely ; the sentence of the Court shall be by a ma. . In case the votes be equal, the opinion wrughte to the accused shall prevail.• By the 597th . -Article, there cask be no appeal to a Court of Cana.. thus. ~A i s laid that a &potation of 25 Members front the Chamber of Deputies will assist at the Sittings in the Peers on the trial of NEY. Ten thousand RUSiiallS had reached Chateau- Thierry, en their witylo Paris, to form part of the Allied Forces destined to remain in that.city., rmerable intruO ,od, at Nisrnes, their faith in the pure doctrines of our holy religion, a e have to enumerate the Rev. NI. DESMONT, senior Protestant Ministers that City. This venera ble Clergyman had attained the With year of his age, and had passed his life iu teaching the Gospel to hi flock and in edifying them by his example. Bat hi grey locks and unblemished life were nn protection to him against the ruffians who now desolate the south of French in the name of the Boy itivoss. Inflamed by their bigoted Priests, and misled by a speech at tributed to the 1.) Ike of ANIGOULrME, they have sworn the destruction of the Protestant Religion in, France, and consider themselves as having rendered I a ll acmiptable service to their Goo and their King, whets they have immolated a Heretic or destroyed a Meeting house. It is a strange neclect, er rather a culpable itidilference of our Govertiment,to view these scenes without interfering. otr arms have plated the Mutt floss on the throne which they have already s'aiiteil with the blood of our fellow Protestants. Our arms maintain them on it, itt opposition to the wishes and opinions of their subjects. But if we are strong enough to smother the general voice of France, can we not employ the means which Providence has placed in our hands, to procure one act of justice fur our Protestant brethren. .valic - 7 — udinleiliiencers have reached us of the 18th CY:ober, from IVastaington. They contain accounts of the prosperous state of the Republican interest in the elections for Representatives in Congress, for New Jersey ; in Huntingdon and Monmouth, where it is asserted the Federals calculated most oaa success, the Republicans have gained, according to the Go vernment .Iqurnal, larger maliorities than ever. The contest was warm. Federalism at New Jersey, is asserted to have received its death blew. In Haiti.

In Talbot, Caroline - and Queen Anne, on the contrary, the Democrats had gained in each 4, majority. In Prince George's, the Federals had carried the day by a ninjor:ty of 4. In Mary. land, therefore, on the whole, the Republican in• terest had increased by a majority of 8. CRIM. Co,,.—A new case of Grim.

THE BLACKHEATH PEDEATRI tV.--NON ithcf arni• ing the unfavourable opinion entertained of EATON, at the commencement of his most astonishing under taking, at Blackheath, and Rico the unfavourable state of the weather ever since, his spirits are not in Of least daanted, and he continues his labours with every prospect of being able to accomplish the task. The only dill . ..reit& we find in him is, that he now takes some repose in the day rim., principally at the solicitations of his friends. He generally smiles when lie is out a walking, perhaps in consequence of the difierence in opinion that he hears amongst those who follow him. Since twelve o'clock yesterday week to the some time yosterany, he has walked-163 miles out of the 1100. • t • . DARER, TITS ROCHESTER PEDESTRIAN: EIGHTEENTH DAY.
