PARLIAAIGNTARY PAPERS. (7!u be continued regularly.) DIPLOMATIC PRESENTS. TN) 'Owing is nn Account of the Presents received by Per sons in the Offices of his Majesty's Principal Secretaries of 'State, from Foreign Sovereigns, in the years ended the sth of January, 1815, and the sth of January, 1816. These Presents, "which with respect• to the Se cretaries of State or Plenipotentiaries signing Treaties, are usually snuff-boxes, with the por trait of the Sovereign presenting the same, set in diamonds, and with respect to the Chancery Pre.4ents,''are a fixed stint of Money, have • been tcceived in conformity with ancient nsag , e, the oceasiowand anionnt from each Court being •re plated by precedent. During the late Congress of Vienna, it appear ing that the Treaty of Congress, as,well as the Treaties of Alb:ince and Subsidy to he acceded to by the severJl Sovereigns of Europe, might letl to a great accumulation of Presents, and large cit. • pence, it wits•propOsed, on the Part' of Great pH fain, to the other. Pknipotentiaries there as seinblud, to adopt under these circumstances, a • special regulation with respect to the exchange of Presents between their respective Courts, which aright obviate this ificontemetke. The Plenipotentiaries adopted in consequence of this suggestion, a regolattom restrictive of the rresants which, by diplomatic nsage, they would themselves have been 'entitled to receive ; but • they declined to supply this pribeiple to the usual Chancery Presents, considering •thein as consti tuting an acknowledged part of the pecuniary profits 'lt the employes in their respective offices. A eort6ponding 'regulation with respect to Presents, took place in the late negociationt at Paris, Muter the regulation above referred to, forty five Treaties and Conventions were signed in the course of the two last yees, without the usual *:xehauge of Presents hetWeen the Plenipotentia ries of the respective Courts. • Ciu some of the Treaties with the minor Ger man Princes and others, the Chancery Presents Were also decljoed.

His Lordship also acting, as the French say, a tamiuble, no horrid cata-, strophe ensued, and all we, have ,to regret is, that these Noblemen should have happened so acci dentally to clucidatc•.the evils of employing Guards instead of Constables, at a , InOnient when the vo litical Party to which they belong are strenuously exerting. thernsek;cs to excite a clamour against . 1 the Military, who have.so nobly fought the battles of their country. • To satisfy these complainants, Lord Stnitocrta has very good naturvdly promised,.that 'svticu they I attempt •to break the line in - future, there shall be no Want of I onsthblei vice 0134 the Watch-house with its Black-hole shall bc,ppen, and not a • single Lord Conu I nitted without due attendance* the Posse Comitatus.

The weedw about the hedges ought likewise to be extirpated, and &tied, in the same way. If cite men were employed in trenching ground for potatoes and other crops, the labour would be amply compensated by t he adyan rages it would produce. It is to be, hoped, that the proprietors and occupiers of .land, - together, with the Overseers oldie poor, will at tend.to these . suggestiOns - , by means of which. ths„avasJiingl, crops may be greatly improyed, not hpoing gle weed to. annoy it, and.a great addjt . lourinade,to the produce of the ,country. • , Yesterday about tiro o'cloCk her INIAJeliw and the PRIINCESMS left the Queen's Palace for Windsor.

It is quite conshling' to think that Lord MIL- TON' was so harmless a young Nobleman; that he did not compel the 'ferocious s oldi er to mur d er him. in Pall Mull.
