The Military Convention, inlet that regulating the payments" lay France, •cost much time and trouble, _but the most dif ficult, were the two separate conentians, which are •ta secur e the punctual..tulfiltnent of the itnAectited Articles of the Treatyof Paris of 1814. 'The deliberation on (hese Conventions, which are of such high importance to the in let eSt of so many private pert;ons,.lasted alone some weeks ; which advances the interests 4g . the British subjects, was directed in the smallest details by Lord Ca•itlereagli himself, with a degree of ease and perseverunce, which cannot . lA commended iu a Minister who has to hear such weight in . ost important concerns of State. • The secoiol try's still more extensive and complicated, and of this the whole honour is dire to Baron Ilealho!dt, et ha, after long laborious, nigloly.coiderences, with the French Crinn-• sellors of State, Portal and Dedon e • brOirght light into this chaos, and acquired the just e st - elaiiiis to the gratitude. of thousainls of families in Gernenisi, and other countries. At the business was drawing to a chew . , it was resolved to communicate tO the- French. Cahint t the renewed Treaty of Alliance be tivetar the tour first Alhed Courts, as a basis of the security and solid:ty of the present order OrtlyingS. This was done in a note, in n hieh,at the same time. •the point of view was laid down in a clear and teomprelteusive moaner, in which the Ministers of the Allied Courts considered the intend situatiou of the country, and the maxims to be followed by the •French Government for its good. This UOVZ, and a second drawn up in the same tone, which related to the fill powersgiven to the Duke of ‘Vellington, as Commander in Chief of the army left in France, made, as was 'to he foreseen,' a hielly layout aisle impression in'Paris. They tranquillizerithe enlightened part of the public re specting the apprehension, which .was grOandless indeed, as if the Allied Powers could,have the inters-, tion of supporting, contrary to all sound principles, system of tincondit tonal return-to theancient gime, and of indiscriminate re-action against all 111;41 now exists to the oppression of the nation,. and the boundless ruin of the Court itself; at the same time they gave to the (artye Which is in cessantly strivitig to force such a stem on the King, wholly against his personal •inclinations, a salutary hint at least, that they could not hope for either approbation or soppoit from the other Europeati Powers. Ott the whole, seven treaties wet e concluded at Paris s the general Treaty, the four secondary Conventions, the renrwt'd "freaty of Alliance between the. four Courts, and the Treaty respecting the fatore state of the lonian I,lanas. alitay of he• greater Protocols of the Conferences, however, (for example that on the composition and chief dire9tionvf the occupying . yirmy,• that on the division of the count rues ceded by France, that on the raising mid dividing the contributions) are also to le considered as real Conventions, arid are drawn up in that form: Ocroaest, 1813.—M. Fortelle; Duke of Otranto, has coutinued to draw so mach attention ever since- his name has been known,. that it i 3 well orth while carefully to collect every feature, in older to make ourselves fully acquainted with bis matiaer and character. For this purpose, the •sulastance of a spee;cii which this Statesman made to the Judges of the Court ot,Appeal, foul of the Tribenal of the First InStastre at Rome, in Dec. • I 13,' furnishes a material . fleieSsonent. It is folly warranted to be genuine, Toough M—Fortche not appear at that time to be to Italy on puldtc business, M. Lcgonides, the Proem cur Imperial, tau tnerly of the Oolice, had persuaded the above ,Courts (it Justice to wait upon him. He teeci‘ed . theneattlie hotel of the City of London, in the Place d'Eepagne, and having•matle them Wait some . -came out of his cabinet an his night piwn, nod addressed them as follows " An !.

Legonilles and idr. Presi •dent Cavalli, and asked, whether they had a tine building for the distribution of justice! He was answered, that the sittings were field in the Palace •etf the Coneelieria ;ott which be proceeded, say ' " that at Rome, the centre of the fine Arts, a rdace lutist he b a tik oa purpose,, and called the •Temale of Justice. For example, let sonic church . in a had style, ia the middle of the city, be pulled -. down to make 'room, and another to furnish the; snaterials.

'dere(' to be pojled down. Certainly, Geotlemea, the pillars of St. Paul's church, and the stones from Si. Peter, would make an (excellent Temple of Justice. YOU matt Id such a Temple of Justice." With this exliortirtion, he dismissed the astonished Judges, to the extreme confusion of his frieltd Leonides, who saw how difficult it was for them to refrain from laughing . . The following notes -to this speech are necessary. Ist. The apostrophe not to judge accuruing to the laws, referred to a ttntence of tlie Court'a which, acqutil ing to law, had acquitted A man to amnesty had been before granted. This, pleased Napoleon; he bad brought before a military tribunal at•TreSinone, and shot.

C:LIMBER Ct J . ) --- EPUTIES . , Mc. 21. . . The Law of Amnesty has only been considered in the bureaux, where it ha's given rise to warm and long debates. It has. been discussed in six successive sittings, .which has {teen prplonged to a late hour without having the eife . et of conciliat ing all opinions. I\l. Curbieres is to make the report on Saturday in a Public Sitting. It is believed that.ir will be presented with many modifications. We arc, however, assured they are such as to render the number not included in the amnesty very circum scribed. The Law on .the Elections Is also in its turn the subject of discussion in the buteamt: it is Oita it also ;lots not 11 LAIC all stiffr,P o ts iti favotir.

The letters and Journals we continue_to re ceive from Scotland, the North of England, and Ireland, are filled with accounts of the extreme severity and storminess of the weather ; and the appearance of London this forenoon, with.snow falling incessantly, affords too good reason for believing that an inclement winter is felt through- Lit the Empire. BUONAPAnTE. The letters and papers from India, by the ship Bombay, from Bombay, which has been for a short time under quarantine regulations, were de livered yesterday. They are of se recent a date as the 15th of August, but are destitute of intel ligence of the smallest importance. The Bombay was also the bearer of letters froM St. Helena to the 13th ult. They inforM us, that Bnonaparte siill remained at the retreat where the former accounts left him ; namely,at a small dwelling, 2 or 3 miles in the interior of the Island, called the Briars: The ci-devant Emperor spends most of his time in vari ous amusements With the daughters oldie host who were considered interesting young women.. In, the evening, to use Ow precise term of a letter ors the subject, " the patty play at cards for sugar- , plums." Meanwhile a strict eye is kept upon the General by the English, which he considers and de— clares to be intrusive. None of his Officers stay %vita. him at his recluse; but whether this arises from Om choice ot• Boonaparte, (non order of the Go vernor,- or because there are no means of accommodation,. we do ncit learn.- The Officers occasionally make at' party to the Briars, to pay their respects to the General ; but not so frequently .as they would have done, had not time roads thither been almost impassable. The house at Longwood for Bttona parte'sb reception was not nearly completed, It% its construction or fitting up, the security of the owners was to be materially considered ; besides it is not expected that he would be allowed to take possession of Longwood House nude:- the regulations intenkd ; he was to be go verned, until the works and batteries were finished, which are quickly raising for the de-, fence of the Island. When the whole is corn• pleted, Sr. Helena will be secured from any sud den attack that might be projected for the lihera-• tiou of the prisoner• ; - and as for the. means of stealth, it is not likely they can succeed, since every Caution has been given by government ors this head. The officers of the Bombay experi enced great disappointment in not having an op-• portunity of seeing the man who had cut• out ,so much bushiess for all Europe. We are assured Ly a gentleman, who bas ,just returned . frinn Mont Cassell, that that part of VAN DAMME'S defence, which stated that his house and gardens were destroyed, is totally false. The only tlemolitit)n•eon►n►itted was by himself, as he or dered some cottages opposite to his mansion to be destroyed, for the purpose of iu►proving Uis prospect. .Yesterday morning, Lord SIDMOUTIt and Lord RAVIURST left town for Brighton, on a visit of tu•o or three days to his Royal Highness the PLUNCe REGENT. Disliatches for Admiral Lord 'El:mm.7'n', ° lf Marseilles, were forwarded last night by the waY, of Paris. -Monday evening Mr. SYLVESTER, the Meson: ger, left town wit!) dispatches for r the Duke 4 " WELLINGTON at 'Paris, from whence he will P r " ceed io Florence, with dispatches for the resident Alinister at that place_ • The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND attentrd ed Divine Service at, the Chapel Royal, St. James's Palace, on Sunday.

It is said that Louts XVIII. did not utter a word fur a fall quarter of an hour after -the &par.' tnre of Madame LAVALETTE. His first exclamation, was—" My God !. I have been exposed to man, severe trials in my life, but never was my beat so, cruelly assailed." THE DOLE OF NonpoLx —The mind of the roe, Duke of NOtts•oLv; was uncommonly active, an his acquirements were extremely varied and ex tensive.; what appeared labour in others, he rot" dily mastered ; and there 'were few subjects( in deed, irhetein he'cuttld not hold a principal share in the discussion. His knowledge of music was considerable, and he could play a little on almost every instillment • there is hardly a ballad in the English langnage,•that he did not recollect snit ciently to give an idea of the music as well as the words. The late Duke of NORFOLK, who was remarkable for pertinaciously refusing to let his breed of ,King Charles's spaniels pass from his kennel, even to his best friends, was prevailed up on to present a couple to the Emperor of Russ's. on his tearing England; in return fur which, that Sovereign sent over to his Grace his picture in a. snuff-bok, magnificently set with diamonds. HE was a constant attendant at the Beef Steak Chats formerly held in Covent-Garden Theatre, bu t which, when that house Was burnt down, was re moved' to.the Bedford Coffee-house, where it nor assembles: t here is, however, to be a room built for this festive Society in the new Lyceum "Nes"! erecting by Mr. 111: , :ot.D. • EATON, • THE PEIIESTRIAM.—Yesterday m VP ing, at a quarter past eight o'clock,. this Inwv dual completed his task of walking 1100 miles 'l n I 100 hours, upon Blackheath.
