The Treaty, we are further 11.1.1, goes no further than a mutual engagement to oppose the reascention of NAroutox BONAPARTE to the Throne of France, --but not to interfere with, or dictate to the French the form of Goverment they shall chase for them selves, or the Sovereign (in case of a Monarchy) I lhom they may elect to reign o►er them. By this it is meant to separate the cause of BONAPARTE from that of the French people, or at least to limit their i"'erftence to the exclusion of BoriArAave. And Hut their views may be clearly and fully de elatwrated to France and to Europe, the Congress is to be transferred to Frankfort, where it is to meet on the 20th instant, and from whence a declaration will be put forth recognising the Treaty of Paris, in which he said, that the people of France are at per fect ItLerty to judge for themselves,—that their ter.

What will his Kingly opponents say or do if, after he finds that they will not treat with him as a Sove reign, he throws off the Imperial name and crown, and declares France a Republic, as it is not impro. ble be will, when the nation will find itself still more imperiously called upon to resist dictation ?

The Dublin Evening Post of the 11th re-asserts, that the l'olice Magistrates of that capital have been ordered to report its state every 24 hours to the Irish Government. The Office of Ordnance at Chatham has reeeived orders to provide and send away stores to a Consi derable extent, and several hundred boys have been entered to make wadding. The King of the NETHERLANDS has recently erect ed by a patent, a Mercantile Company for the ex clusive trade to China. The reasons asiigned for. the measure are, the peculiar nature of the commerce with China, and the large capitals which it requires. The Company is to enjoy this monopoly for a period of 25 years. The duty to be paid to the State on all. tea so imported rind sold for home consumption, is to be 5 per cent. ad valorem on the sales, a drawback to that amount being given on the export. The funds of the Company are to consist of 8000 shares, at the rate of 1000 Dutch guilders each ; and the affairs of the Company to be managed by a Board of five Directors, besides a Secretary.
