" The undersigned', Minister and Secretary of itate•to4is Most Christian Majesty, has received the commettication which their Escelletscies the Mi nisters of the. Cabinets of Austria, of Great Britain, qf. Prussia, and .of Rawls, did him the honour of ad. dressing to him ou the 4th of this month, by order of their august Sovereigns. lie hastened to snake it k:tsown to the King his muster. His Majesty has re ceieed with real satisfaction, this new proof of the confidence and friendship of the Sovereigns who hate taken part in the deliberations at Aix-le-Chapekle. The justice which they render to his constant cares for the happiness of France, and above all to the loyalty of his People, has deeply touched his heart. Looking back to the past, and observing that at no other 'prim), no other nation- has been able to fulfil with a snore scrupulous fidelity, engagements such as France had contracted, the King has felt, that it was indebted, for this new kind of glory, to the in. teener, of , the institutions which governs it; and he sees with joy, that the consolidation of these institu tions is considered by his 'squat Allies to be no less adventsgeous to the repose of &scope, than essen. ti,l to the prosperity of France. Considering that the first of his duties is to endeavour to per pante and augmeut, by all the means in his power, the benefits which the complete reestablishment of general peace promises to all stations ; persuaded that the intimate union of Governments is the surest pledge of its duration; and that France, which could not re main a stranger to a eyeless, the whole force of which must spring from a perfect unanimity of principle and action, will join the association with her characteristic frankness; and that her concurrence mast add strength to the well-founded hops of the happy re. volts which such an alliance .must produce for the benefit of mankind, hie Most Christian Majesty most. readily sssen(s to the proposal made to him of uniting Me councils end his efforts with those of their Ma jesties the Emperor of Austria, the King of Great sodßritain, the King of Prussia, sod the Emperor of all the Itussias, for the purpose of accomplishing the salutary work which they have in view. He has, therefore, authorized the undersigned to take part in all the deliherations of their Mi•listers and Pleuipo sentiaries, for the object of consolidating the peace, of securing the maintenance of the Treaties on which It rests, and of guaranteeing the mutual rights and relations established by these same Treaties, and re cognised by all the States of Europe. 44 The undersigned, while he begs their Excel lencies to have the goodness to transmit to their au gust Sovereigns, the expression of the intentions and sentiments of tee his master, has the honour of offering theat the as.otaoce of Pis highest coo sideratiou. • -0-4 1 6 RICHELIEU.

We learn, that the whole proceedings on the fritl hare been transmitted to the Secretory of War, and copies of them sent to other Members of the Cabinet, and that there does not appear a doubt, in the minds of those who have read them, of the correctness of the sentence of the Court-Martial. It is not probable that they will be publicly promulgated until the MeeNog of Congress, on the 10th of November ensuing. It is said that Ambrister acknowledged to the Court, that be had been in arms with the Indians ; but justified his con duct on the ground of having married an Indian woman, and having children by her, whom it was his duty to defend : that he acknowledged the fair ness of his trial, and thanked the Court for their kindness to him : and died like a soldier.

Ntw You:, OCTOBER 21.-A passenger in the schooner Gazette, from Rio Janeiro, informs, that no political events of consequeoce had recently oc curredtt that place. The Portuguese remained firm in their determination to hold possession of the pro vince. Atria the middle of June the troops had marched against Artigas, who retreated about 300 miles into the interior, it being his policy to avoid an action. The news of the capture of Pensacola had reached Rio Janeiro. " The Convention of the 9th of October, which definitively regulated the execution of the engagements agreed to iu the Treaty of Peace of November W, 1815, is considered by the Sovereigns who concurred therein, as the accomplishment of the work of peace, and as the completion of the political system destined to ensure its solidity. 66 The intimate union established among the Mo narchs, who are joint parties to this system, by their own principles, no less than by the interests of their People, offers to Europe the most sacred pledge of Its future tranquillity. ' 66 The object of this union is as simple as it is greet end salutary. It does not tend to any new political combination—to any change in the relations sanction. ed by . existing Treaties. Calm and consistent in its proceedings, it has no other object than the main. tames of peace, and the ',corky of those transac tions ou which the peace was founded and cooso- P 1 141ated.

It is asserted, that of the variety yoang men who had been hitherto brought before the Tribunal of Correctioaal Police for having, dur. ing the ballot at the Hotel de Ville, displayed tri coloared ribands, only one has been convicted.— This individual, it appears, was more guilty than the others, for they were the ribands simply drawn round their hats, while he more presumptuously had the ribands formed into a cockade! Tnie frivoloes distinction merely shows the embarrassment of the Court, which did not feel it to be the interest of the teetered Dynasty to punish all the transgressors, whilst they were, no doubt, impressed with tire ne. amity of making some example, in order to repress these symptoms of disaffection.
