The DAP of Welliegreo, n pri,ates ediettre grant- I ed yesterday (Nov. 13) to Madame Nes , g ise as the ' grounds for the disposition in which he was per sonally not to inlet fere at all in the process of the Marshal, " That his Majesty the King of France had not ratified the Convention of the 3d Joly ; " 'that the stipulation written in the 12th Arti rle expressed only the renunciation of the High Powers, on their own account, of proceeding against any one in France for his conduct or political opinions ; " That they had nothing then to meddle with the acts of the King's Government." I Madame la Marechale Ney cannot believe that this first opinion, manifested upon the 12th A r ti. tie of the Convention of the 3d July, can be de finitively maintained in the conference of the Pleni potentiaries. In effect, in the attacks and invasion purely foreign of a couquerer, the enemy who penetrates into a country, busies himself in no wise with the troubles that may have broken out in it, and it does not fall within the order of capitulations, that those of a cer tain party shall not be proceeded against. It is then because in the present occurrence the war was special, and for the pacification of the interior, that they thought of stipulating it in terms of amnesty. The King, say they, has not ratified it ; bat the ra tihcation has been sufficient, for the taking of posses sion followed from it. The condition of the be sieged cannot be changed afterwards, unless things be re-established in slain quo. His Highs sss has not sufficiently considered what ought to be essentially considered, that this 12th Ar ticle was the subject of a discussion between the Eng lish and Prussian Commissioners, end the Commis sioners of the French army, and that it was well un derstood that this stipulation took place on account of the King, and not on account of the Allied armies, who had no positive intetest to act against such or Ouch party. That the article is consented to in the name and common interest of all the Allied Powers, an interest indivisible, and which the two 'treaties of the 13th and 25th of Mardi desi2ttated as being principally that of his Majesty the King of France. That it will not be meddling in the acts of the King's Government to tecal to his Majesty, engage. ments made in his name, engagements which his Ali nisters forgot ; which individuals proceeded against claim, and of w hick it becomes the dignity of the High Power► that the effect should not be null. Finally, in all cases, since his Highnessallows that the High Powers are at least hound themselves by a renunciation, what ought they to think at being made to appear as cuejutiog and requiring the trial of Marshal Ney ? 1. it not the first thing they ought to do in such a conjunction to disengage speedily the balance of cri• mina' justice of this enormous weight ? Mort.—Duplicates of these two documents have been sent to the Prince Regent of England and to the Prime :Minister—their answer is expected. THE 87 1 %11 1 E8Ni N.

'Palley rand, de Jaucourt, and Gouvion St. Cyr have refused to sit 1 upon the trial of Ney, upon the grounds of their being Members of the Administration under which be was arrested, and consequently his accusers. Au gereau has also declined sitting upon this trial. The first Treaty was signed on Wednesday. Its terms do not materially vary from those of the Con vention of tho 2:1 October. There is, however, an article, by which the High Contracting Parties agree to maintain the direct succession of the Bourbons to the Throne of France, so long as the latter maintain the Constitutional Charier in its full vigour.
