BRAZIL AND BUENOS-AYRES PRELIMINARY TREATY OF PEACE BETWEEN THE. RE. PUBLIC OF TBII UNITED PROVINCES OF THE RIVER PLATE 2. The Government of the Republic of the United Provinces concurs in declaring, on its part, the independence of the province of Monte-Vidco, at present called the Cisplatine, and its being con stituted into a free and independent State, in the form declared'in the foregoing article. 3. Both High Contracting Parties oblige them selves to defend the, independence and integrity of the province of Monte.Video,_ for the ti me mi d i n the manner th a t ma y b e agreed upon in the defini tive treaty . of peace. 4. The existing Government of the Banda Oriental; immediately upon the ratification of the present convention,' shall convoke the representa. tives of that part of the said province which is at present subject to it; and the existing Government of Monte-Video shall, make sitnultaneonsly a like convocation of the citizens residing within the city, . regulating the number of deputies by that of the _ inhabitants of the ,province, and using the form adopted in the election of representatives in the last legislature. .5. The election of deputies for the city of Monte- Video shall take place indispensably extra mares, without the reach of the artillery of the city, and in the absence of a!l armed force. . 6. The representatives of the province being as sembled at a distance of at least ten leagues of the • city of Monte-Video, and any other place occupied by troops, shag establish a provi s i ona l G overnment, which shag role the whole province, until the in stallation of the permanent Government, to be created as the constitution shall direct. The exist ing Government of Monte-Video and the Banda Oriental shall cease immediately after the installa tion of the provisional one. • 7. The same representatives shall betake them selves afterwards to the formation of the political constitution of the province a Monte-Video; and the constitution, previously to being sworn to, shall be examined by commissioners from the two con tracting Governments, for the sole object of seeing that it does not contain any article or articles op posed to the security of their respective states. Should this be the case, it shall be publicly and ca tegorically set forth by the said commissioners; but should there be a want of common accord to these, it shell be decided by the two contracting Government's 8. Any. inhabitant of the province of Monte -Video shall be at liberty to leave the territory thereof, tak ing with him• his chattels, without prejudice to a third person, until the constitution be sworn to, if he does not wish to adhere to it, or if it so suit him. 9.. There shall be perpetual and absolute oblivion of all political acts and opinions whatever, done or professed previously to the ratification of the present convention, by Elio inhabitants of the province of Monte-Video, and of the territory of the Emperor of Brazil which had been occupied by troops of the Republic of the United Provinces. 10. It being a duty of the two contracting Go vernments to assist and protect the province of Monte-Video until it be completely constituted, the said Governments agree, that if previously to the constitution being sworn to, and daring five years afterwards, its tran qu illi ty and security should be disturbed by civil war, they shall lend the necessary aid to maintain and support the lawful Government. After the expiration of the above term, all protec tion which is by this article promised to the lawful Government of the province of Monte -Video shall cease, and the said province shall be considered in a state of perfect and absolute independence. 11. Both the high contracting parties declar e most explicitly and categorically, that whatever may happen to . be the use- of the protection which, in conformity to the fOregoing article, is promised to - the province of Monte-Video, it shall in all cases be limited to the restoration of order, and shall cease -immediately that the object is attained. 12. The troops of the, province of Monte-Video, and those of the Republic of the United Provinces, shall evacuate the Brazilian territory in the precise term of two months from the date of the exchange of the ratification of the present convention, the latter passing to the left bunk of the river Plate, over the Uruguay, with the exception of a force of 1,500 men or more, which the Government of the aforesa;d Republic, if it deem fit, may maintain in any part of the territory of the province of Monte, Video, until - the troops of his• Majesty the Emperor o f ,brazil completely evacuate the city of Monte- Video. 13. The troops of his Majesty the Emperor of Brazil shall evacuate the t err i tory o f the province of Monte-Video,including La Coloni a del Sacramento, in the precise term of two months from the date of the exchange of the ratifica . tion , : , of the pre sen t con vention, and return to the frontiers of the empire, or embark, with the exception of a force of 1,.500 men , which his said Majesty may maintain within the city of Monte-Video until the installation of the Provi sional Government of the province,. under th e ex press obligation of withdrawing this force in the precise term of four months first following the instal lation of the said Provisional Government at the latest ; delivering, in the act of the evacuation, the city of Moute-Video in statu pen ante bclln:,t to commissioners competently authorised, ad hoc, by the lawful Government o f the province. 11. It is understood that neither the troops of the Republic of the United Provinces, nor those of his Majesty the Emperor of Brazil, which, in confor mity to the two foregoing articles, are to remain temporarily in the province of Monte Video, must in any wise interfere in the political affiiiis, govern ment, institutions, &c., of the said province. They shall be considered as merely passive, and on obser vation, kept there to protect and guarantee public and individual liberties and property, and they •can- AND TILE EMPIRE OF Int Amt. In the name of the most holy and undivided Trinity. The Government of the Republic of the United Provinces of the River Plate, and his Majesty the Emperor of Brazil, desiring to put an end to the war, arid establish, upon solid and durable principles, the good understanding harmony, and friendship which should exist between neighbouring nations, called by their interests to live united by the ties of perpetual alliance; have agreed, through the medi ation of his Britannic Majesty, on a preliminary treaty of peace, whiCh shall serve as a basis to the definitive treaty of the same, which is to he cele brated between the high contracting parties; and for t his purpose they have appointed their plenipoten tiaries; to wit--The Government of the Republic of the United Provinces, Gen. Don Juanßamon Balcarce, and Don Tomas Guide--His Majesty the Emperor, the Most Illustrious and Most Excellent Marquis of Aracaty, Member of his Majesty's Council, Gentle man of the Imperial Bedchamber, Councillor of Finance, Commander of the Order of Aviz, Senator of the Empire, Minister Secretary of State in the department of Foreign Affairs; Dr. Don Jose Cle mente Pereira, Member of his Majesty's Council, Chief Judge of the House of Supplication, Dig nitary of the Imperial Order of the Cross•hearer, Knight of that of Christ, Minister Secretary of Stat e in are Home D e p artment, an d a d i nter i m of Justice; and Don Joaquin Oliveira Alvarez, Member of his Majesty's Council, and that of War, Lieutemant-Ge neral of the National and Imperial Armies, Officer of the Imperial Order of the Cross-bearer, Minister Secretary of State in the Home Department of War, who, having exchanged their respective full powers, which were found to be in good and due form, agreed upon the following articles : Article 1. His Majesty the Emperor of Brazil declares the province of Monte-Video, at present called the Cisplatine, separated from the territory of the empire of Brazil, in order that it may constitute itself into a State, free and independent of any na tion whatever, under the form of government which it may deem most suitable to its interests, wants, and resources. not operate actively unless the lawful Government of the province require their assistance. 15. As soon as the exchange of the ratifications of the present Convention takes place, there shall be an entire cessation•of hostilities by sea and by land. The blockade shall be raised in the term of 48 bouts on the part of the Imperial squadron. Hostilities by land shall cease immediately after this Conven tion and its ratifications are notified to the armies, and by sea, in two days to Cape St. Mary, in eight to St. Catherine's, in fifteen to Cape Frio, in twenty-two to Pernambuco, in forty to the Line, in sixty to the coast of Africa, and in eighty to the seas of Europe. All prizes made subsequently shall not be considered bone fide captures, and indemnification will be reciprocally made for them. 16. All prisoners taken by either party during the war, by sea or by land, shall be set at liberty as soon as the present convention is ratified, and the ratifications exchanged ; but those who have not se cured the payments of the debts contracted by them, cannot leave the country in which they are. 17. After the exchange of the ratification, both high .contracting parties shall proceed to appoint their respective plenipotentiat:es, for the purpose of ad justing and concluding the definitive treaty of peace, which is to be celebrated between the Republic of the United Provinces and the Empire of Brazil. 18. If; contrary to expectation, the high contract ing patties should not come to an adjustment in the said definitive treaty of peace, through questions that may arise in which they may not agree, notwith standing the mediation of his Britannic Majesty, the Republic and Emperor cannot renew hostilities be fore the expiration of the five years stipulated in the 10th article; nor even after this time can hostilities take place, without notification being reciprocally given with the knowledge of the mediating power, six months previously. 19. The exchange of the ratifications of the pre• sent convention shall be effected in the city of Monte- Video, in the term of sixty days from the date hereof, or sooner if possible. In testimony whereof, we, the undersigned Ple nipotentiaries of the Government of the United Provinces, and of his Majesty the Emperor of Bra• zit, in virtue of our full powers, sign the present Convention with our hand, and seal it with the seal of our arms.

His communication of last night deserves more chastisement than our charity (hoping his tern. per may improve with his system ! !) will permit us to bestow. United States into Brazil have been charged with a duty of 21 per cent., while those of France and England were admitted at only 15 per cent. If this was done as a favour to France and England, will not the equalization of the duty be injurious to them in the same proportion it is beneficial to others ? But the principle is liberal, and its adoption must be advantageous to Brazil. By the events of the late campaign, the state of matters between Russia and Turkey has been brought to a crisis; but, strange to say, reports are circulated that both parties are still indisposed to peace. We can scarcely believe this when we consider the actual position in which they are now placed by the issue of the late campaign. We cannot believe that peace, if it is proposed by the impartial mediation of the neutral Powers, such as Great Britain, France, and Austria, will be rejected by either party, because the experi ment of war has notoriously failed —more, indeed, from the mismanagement of Russia than the skill of Turkey. We can easily understand the policy of an appeal to the sword, when there is any prospect of a decisive issue. One nation goes to war with another, in order, by subduing it, to force an acceptance of such a peace as the conqueror nay dictate. In this case there is a fair trial of strength, and peace follows the sub mission' of the weaker power. War is under taken for the purpose of bringing about a more durable or advantageous peace, and it is an ef fectual process. But it has not been an equally effectual process between Russia and Turkey, because their strength has been, judging by the result, so equally balanced that neither obtained the mastery. Russia cannot attain the objects for which she took up arms except by the con quest of Turkey, and her operations for this purpOse have totally failed. Her armies in the course of the late campaign have accomplished nothing beyond the taking of a single fortress or two; and they are now abandoning the Turkish territory, which they have merely occupied for a iirte, leaving, contrary to all the maxims of offensive war, to the invaded country an inter terval of four or five months, to perfect her de fensive preparations. Every country, it may be remarked, contains within itself the means of its own defence ; and it is only time that is wanting to raise, and discipline such a force as would be an overmatch for the invading army. No country is ever attacked by an army half so numerous as the one which it could raise, if it had time and disposition ; and it is only by boldness, decision, and celerity of movement, that an invader can ever hope to succeed in his conquests. . This is one of the standing maxims on which all great conquerors have continually acted ; breaking down, by a sudden irruption, the defences of a country; spreading consternation far and wide, by the rapid advance of the victo rious force ; and giving no time to organise and prepare the means of resistance. The Russians, in pursuing so opposite a course, in retiring from the invaded country with their whole force, have virtually abandoned its .conquest as a hopeless enterprise; and they can only renew the attempt under serious disadvantages. What hope can they have, therefore, of bringing about peace through the medium of war ; of forcing on the Turks a humiliating • peace ? This can only be the result of conquest ; and the Russians have already failed in -this bold experiment, without any reasonable chance of success by a repetition of it. What object then, it may be asked, has Russia in continuing the war ? And what can she at tain by war that may not be attained by peaec ? she must now abate her lofty pretensions ; she must bring down her terms to her altered circum stances ; and peace will then be concluded by a compromise of conflicting claims. Peace, there fore, is most clearly her policy, as she is not likely to improve, but to render her situation worse by continuing the war. With regard to Turkey, the same reasoning applies—the Turks have only succeeded in defensive war—they have only protected their own terrhory—their sole 'ob ject is safety—they can never dream of invading Russia, nor do the late operations in the field give the least countenance to such a project. In fact, they have no chance in a pitched battle, which they must of necessity risk by inva sion. They cannot, therefore, be averse to peace ; for peace will give them safety, which is all that they arc fighting for; a guaran tee by the Great European Powers of the in tegrity of their Empire is all that they can pos sibly wish for, and if this be given, as it is likely it would be, what interest have they in protract ing a useless war ? A German Paper of the 13th inst. has been received, but it only contains news of domestic or local interest. The rapid passage of an Eng lish courier through Frankfint, on his route to Constantinople, is eagerly seized upon as a sztp-position that he is the bearer of communications to the Porte from the English Government, similar to those which M. AmADEE JAUBBRT t a k es from France. Supposition goes a great way in Germany, so long as probability clears the turnpikes of doubt : SWITZERLAND, NOV. 28.

The sickness in the Frelich army in the Morea has considerably abated. It is supposed that the majority of the Committee, to whom the proposal for reducing the interest from four to three per cent. was referred, is against it (From the Gazette de France.) PA RIS, DEC. 17. The Gazette of Augsburgh has a letter from Bucharest of Nov. 27, which days that nothing is positively known respecting the movements of the armies. Some thousands of infantry and some artillery from Silistria had reached 13ucharest. The Austrian Observer has a letter from Bucha rest, of the 21st of November, which says that Prince Scherbatoff was sufficiently recovered to set out for Russia. A letter from Sernlirr, Of 1-1-th November, states that the Turkish troops were continually marching from ele west towards Adrianople. FRENCH FUNDS. —PA RIS x . I)Et.

The last accounts from Constantinople slate, that rain continued there for three weeks, to the great annoyance of the SULTAN and the troops uder exercise. • It is stated in a Boston Paper, that the Bra zilian Government had resolved to place imports from all nations on an equal footing as it re gards duties—say 1:i . per cent. on the tariff valuations. - hlitherto the importations from the , Tariff, the export duty should be raised in propor tion to the price, yet their Majesties had resolved, that to facilitate the supply of the Swiss Cantons, and as a proof of their friendship, the exportation of corn to Switzerland, alone, shall continue free of duty till corn shall have risen to the prices specified in the note, and with a few regula tions to prevent the abuse of this power. This is the only transaction relative to the commercial intercourse of Switzerland with the two king doms that has taken place for some months. The negotiations with Baden, also for the renewal of the commercial convention, have been wholly interrupted for a long time past, with the difference, however, that with Baden the provisional convention continues to be in force without any restriction as to time, and has proved tolerably satisfactory to both parties. The recruiting for the regiments in the service of the Netherlands has ceased fOr about a month ; thus the decree for the disbanding of those troops which is to take place next year has began to be carried into ef fect. On the other hand, the representations made to the King of the Netherlands, in August last, by the Cantons concerned in the capitulation in favour of the regimentS to be disbanded, and especially of their Officers, have hitherto remained unanswered, and it is thought extraordinary that his Majesty, in his speech on opening the Session of the States Gene ral, does not even make the most remote allusion to ' the intended disbanding of these regiments. We hear that M. Von Matzen, the Bavarian Minister, has lately presented a note complaining of the en listing of Bavarian subjects in the Swiss regiments on foreign service. FRANKFORT, DEC. 8. An English Courier has passed through this city, proceeding with all speed to Constantinople ; it is supposed he is the bearer of communications to the Porte from the English Government, similar to those which M. Amadee Jaubert brings from France. The report gains ground that the Marquis of ANGLESEA will resign unless something is done for the Catholics—and that quickly. North American Papers have been received to the 2d inst., but they contain no news of im portance. The struggle for the Presidency-was going on with unremitted activity, and the gene ral opinion seemed to be in favour of JACKSON. The day of Election was the 3d of December, so that we may shortly expect to learn the result. THE FUNDS.--(TIAIS DAY.) CITY, Trosr,rn o'CLoe.r. Consols opened this morning at 87i the nearest price for some time being 87k, but some unpleasant rumours getting afloat, aided by some sales of Re duced, caused the Funds to become heavy, and Con sols are now 87i and Reduced, 861 1, after hav ing been done at 86g. The premium on L►dia Bonds and Exchequer Bills has undergone no reduc tion, and remains, for the former, 71 3, and for the latter 69 70. The Foreign' Funds are in a state of idleness. The confirmation of peace between Buenos Ayres and Brazil has not had any important effect on the latter Bonds, which after being 64k, are now sellers at 64. Buenos Ares remain 48 50; and the fact of the ratification, as it frequently occurs, appears to have been discounted, and had it 3 effect some time since. In Russian or Portuguese there is nothing fresh to note—the former remain 951 i, the latter 531. Mexican are 33k, being a trifling advance, probably occasioned by the accounts from Vera Cruz, of the Ist of November, which state General St. Anna's revolt to be at an end, and the General himself endeavouring to escape to Guatemala, after being deserted by his troops. In Shares there is nothing doing. A printed notice of contract has been issued at Plymouth, for vessels to convey about 1,200 persons from thence to the Brazils, and tenders will be re ceived till the 22d inst. for that purpose. We un derstand vessels had been taken up before, but their qualifications were not deemed satisfactory on sur vey, and this has occasioned further delay. An in sinuation has been thrown out that the Refugees, in the interim, may probably hear some favourable news from Rio de Janeiro, which may protract the stay of these unfortunate exiles.

THE DILEMMA.---It is ascertained that the Congress at Wooton, has experienocd some unforeseen difficulties, which have protracted .their sittings beyond expectation : one thing is quite certain, namely, that the confidential agent, who was sent on a Mission of Dis. covery, has not yet made his appearance in town; and is not, now, expected tOr souse days. As this is the period of the year in which there is the greatest press of business in the office over which he presides, the length of his stay is na turlly calculated to excite conjecture. The most probable cause hitherto assigned for the difficulties which are not denied to exist, is the avowed determination o❑ the one side " to legislate and not to uegociate," and the hitherto invincible reluctance on the part of the ostensible leaders of the other to submit it to any thing bearing the appear ance of capitulation, which would be particularly un palatable after the high tone they have adopted. We are almost prepared to expect a second edition of the Irish Excursion, as some modifications on both sides are de sirable, and the -Employe, so unceremoniously ❑oticed in some of the Irish papers, contrived to render himself highly acceptable, while at the other side of the water, where every thing like political or religious intolerance was discarded, and their place supplied by great suavity of manner, and a cordial acceptance of hospitable conviviality without fastidious scrupl e or party distinction. Still, a, the case stands, the difficulties in the way of mutual tip proxi mations in the views of the opposite parties, appear very formidable. If the Premier cannot untie the Gor dian knot, he is known to be determined to sever it.

WELLESLEY v. auxi OF BEAUFORT. Upon his LORDSHIP taking his seat this morning, a few minutes after 11 o'clock, he stated that he had had a long conversation with Mr. Ebden, who had told him that the house in Connaught -terrace was not hired by Mr. Wellesley. The house was selected by Mr. Wellesley before the young gentle men left Eton; that he received a communication from Mr. Wellesley, stating that he had seen the house, and that it would suit. Upon this Mr. Ebden came to town with the young gentlemen, and afterwards entered into a contract himself for the hire of it. His Lordship observed that there could be no doubt that Mr. Wellesley had had daily intercourse with the young gentlemen, that he had also ridden out with them, and that in fact the com munication was almost as bad as if he was living with them; that it was a communication not in ac cordance with the orders pronounced by this Court and the House of Lords; but before his Lordship pronounced any decision upon whether they should continue at Connaught -terrace or proceed to Segrave, he should like to look a little more into the facts, What had been stated with respect to Connaught terrace did not appear upon affidavit. Mr. SVGDEN said he should entirely object to the young gentlemen remaining in Connaught -terrace. His LORDSHIP observed, that he had nothing upon w hich he could judicially proceed as to what was supposed to have taken place. Mr. SUGDEN trusted his Lordship would not come to a decision without hearing Counsel. His LORDSHIP said he certainly should not. Mr. Ebden had stated to the Court that there was no order as to the extent of intercourse. His Lord ship, in answer to that, had observed to him that certainly no specific order had been made--that it had been left to hit (Mr. Ebden's) discretion, but that discretion was to be regulated by reference 'to the order pronounced by this Court and the House of Lords, by which the children were taken front the father, and the grounds on which the Court had acted. Mr. SUGDEN thought nobody could doubt that what had taken place was virtually a disobedience of the order, and trusted that unless some affidavits were made, the Court would instantly order the children to proceed to Segrave. His LORDSHIP observed, that the communication he had had with Mr. Ebden was not with reference to giving judgment, but for his information. Mr. IloaNn said the Court had intimated that affidavits should be made, but at the present mo ment he was an utter stranger to the parties who were to make them. His LORDSHIP had no evidence before him that would justify the Court in making the order payed. Mr. HORSE begged to assure the Court he was an utter stranger to what had passed between his Lordship and Mr. Ebden, and wished to know what it was the Court required to be informed of upon. affidavit. His Lonnsnw at present, according to the affida vits, should come to the conclusion that this was Mr. Wellesley's house; but perhaps evidence might be brought before the Court to free it from that ap prehension. Mr. SUGDEN said, that if the Court were to say that these young gentlemen should remain at Con naught-terrace, it would be his duty to apply to it to limit the intercourse that was to take place. It was manifest the order of the Court was entirely set at naught. His LORDSHIP felt quite satisfied it would not continue in the same way it had been hitherto con ducted. What he should propose was, and in doing this, the Court thought it could rely on Mr. Ebd en; that the youn g gen tl emen should. remain in the house till Monday, Mr. Wellesley having no inter course with them. Mr. HORNE observed that was quite satisfactory to him. His client's solicitor was present and would communicate the intimation of the Court to Mr. Wellesley, which the Learned Counsel had no doubt would be attended to by him. Mr. SUGDEN had not the least objection to what the Court thought right to be done, but he could not help thinking the better course to pursue would be that on Monday these young gentlemen should take their course to Seagrare-house, because, after what had, passed, he never could be brought to believe that this was not, in point of fact, the house of Mr. Wellesley. His LORDSHIP would state what had been sug gested to him with respect to Segrave. It wan supposed that there might be an intercourse be tween the young gentlemen arid the gamekeepers and servants there, which would be prejedicial to them and their characters. It would be impossible to re strain dint, because if they went there, it would be for the purpose of enjoying the sports of the field. Mr. Ebdon could not go with them, as the bent of his inclination did not lie that way. Mr. SUGDEN thought that as far as that came from the tutor, it might be made matter of arrange. ment, but not from any other quarter. His Loansfut , though that difficulty might be obviated by Mr. Ebden selecting some proper person to attend them. What the Court had now thrown out showed the propriety of the young gentlemen re maining where they were till Monday. Mr. HORNE said that any information that could be obtained upon the point required by the Court, should be stated upon affidavit, and copies should be furnished to the other side. His LoßpsutP had stated to Mr. Ehden that he could not be at all surprised at the feelings of the Misses Long, after lie had put his name to the paper he did. It was the grossest libel on their character that could possibly be thought of. Mr. lions was an entire stranger to it. It had not been made till the night before, arid he had not had an opportunity of reading it. Mr. SUGDEN was perfectly surprised at it, and was anxious to convey to the mind of the Court the impression entertained by the Misses Long. His Lontismp then observed it would be men tioned the first thing o❑ Monday morning. Mr. HORNE said that there was another petition which the Court need not he troubled with now, relating to the furniture at Draycot-house; both sides had entered into an arrangement that it should stand over, nothing being done with respect to the subject matter of it. Ili LORDSHIP otmerved, that circum3tarices had occurred which led him to express a hope that the SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—(FI-11S DAY.) i parties should proceed to the appointment of a dian. Mr. SUGDEN observed his clients hnd ally intended to do it. Mr. HoRNE wished to express in the fill mariner possible hi s ent i re concurrence wit h and the happiness he felt in hearing it throsl by the Court. Mr. SUGDEN said, that as far as Co u nsel concerned no hinderance should be given'to it A v he was sure his clients would follow up that v: had all along been their intention.

At last the offence was so often repeated that her conscience could no longer refrain. When she first wen' tinned it to the plaintiff he became ; l i tt lest distracted. Before this they had always lived to gether on terms of the greatest happiness.
