Here the Minister read the Convention No. 11, and 111. the text of which follow s, N. 13. These are the two Conventions already published from the German papers. To the Military Convention is annexed a Tarif of the rations .to be given to the. troops, the al lowance to oiiccrs according to their rank. Anti SC.VC oil di , positions relative to the hospitals, posts, donanes, Btc. . • is called " A Convention, •conelmled in confOrtnity with the 9th Article of the Mu nicipal Treaty, and relative to the examination and liquidation of the claims a.,;ainsutlie French Government."

This Co ivention is in IR Articles, it four dii luttin3 of the Afoniterir:- (After this reading, the ►linister continued)— After - long and continued discussions, in which demands still more exorbitant had been produced to us, and at Itngth withdrawn, these which have been commanticated to yens, have been presented to us as an ultiniaturn, and the most urgent and imperious considerations have imoOsed it. on us as a law, to subscribe to them. `hese demands are eerzninty the most burdensome, the hardest, the roost painfiti part of the stipulations that we have had to discuss, and it is enough to know tioat they have been proposed to Frenchmen, to be justified in the conclusion, that indispensa ble necessity alone could induce them to subscribe to them. But if, after the example of the King, mimes we heard, Gentlemen, as the opinions of your Session, with that love of frankness and good ness which in the most striking features of his noble character express to you theprotound affliction with Witteh his heart is penetrated, if I say we may be pert'ni.tted.to git e an account before you, and in the face - of &trope; ; of the impressions which we may have leis, I wii; say that, arrived at this Clp itA of t he negociation, themoststorrny that ever exercised' the real, and tried the devotion of the servants of au unhappy King, after having exhausted all the means of discussion and resistance which could be suggested- by reason, and by that politi cal foresight, which in good as well as in baafor tnne ought to be the constant guide of the conduct of Cabinets, seeing ~on the one, part in • the,, tlispositiOna of • the Minister's of the Poweis'atietermitunion irrevocably fixed, may, on the otherhand, that the present crisis, brought incessanatt, into action in• the whole extent of France,i,the principle of an oppression, of an im poverishment, of an irritation,•and, in short-, a series of devastations which seemed daily to increase and to acquire new strength, we judged, rust if we suffered this crisis to be indefinitely prolonged, the fate of France was at stake; even the fate of those Who have imposed upon us such great sa crifices, and perhaps the destiny.of social order i n Europe. '‘‘ And it is in the prospect of so many dangers that, sacrificing without hesitation all our repug trances, we have .acceptetL in the name of the King, in the name of the Country, the conditions which have been laid before you."

At this Coancil the rt;ghlzir Proclamations for Peace were proposed and agreed upon ; anti also, as we understood, a Ptocla roat i on for a day of Thanksgiving- for the restoraCOU of peace. At the close Of the CoUncil, the Recorder of Ltondon was admitted, and made his report to the Regent in _Council, of the con victs, tinder sentence of death in Newgate.. The Prince Regent gave audiences.to the Lord Chan cellor, E ar l s Fiarr9wbv and s , riatlitirst - , Viscount S d:notith, and the Right llo'n; W. 'W. Pole. A letter of the 22d, from Dublin, states, that -Sir C.

CovENr-GARDEN.,--- A whimsical farce was brought forth last night at this Theatre, tinder the title of What's a Man of Fashion The plot de pends upon the,will at a deceased Gentleinan,, by which his daughter (Miss M,s-rtrEws), is :eft under the guardianship. of her aunt, Mrs. Strait- Lice (Mrs. DAvEsiroaT). and she is to forfeit tier whole tontine, viz. 40,0001. unless she Marries within. a year after his death, a Man - of Fashion. —The aunt plots with'a vile attorney, Pouncely (Tor.e.LY),. and confines her niece, hoping that the year swill expirc,,and that she shall get pos session oldie fortune; of which a great portion is to he al:otted to Pouncely.' By the fortunate arrival of AdmiralProject(FAWCETT),ollthe spot, t he schemes of this iniquitous pair are defeated, as he coin rivet that his nephew, 'Young Project (JONES), who ap pears by his e.itravaganee and dissipation t o bc a true Mon of Fashion, according to the mailer!' desig nation, shall accomplish a marriage with the •young Lady, just before the striking of the clock skews that the year has expired. Such is the. out line of the plot, which is hastened and. retarded by several ludicrous situations. The author of the piece is unknown. It possesses no great dramatic pretensions, but it is very entertaining, and ''as altogether, very well sustained by the Performers and received by the audience. It has the recom mendation 'Of a spirited Hunting Overture, and some pleasing songs composed by Mr. CONDELL, Wiwi! as contrived,-in a 'Trio, to introduce three old popular. airs. The piepe was the first of the dramas represented last night, and - was followed by Cynton aud-Bombustes Furioso, The house was' crowded, and the opposition to the new farce was confined to two or three individuals at most, but warmly supported by the audience in general. Yesterday evening, about eight o'clock, a fe male . apparent respectability, walking over Illackfriars Bridge, suddenly mounted the balltis trrles, engagedaniii"luitged herself into the river. Two youths, at the moment in pushing, off a boat, observed the circumstance, and made to the place where the body tiad sunk, and after the 'most praiseworthy exertions, raised her from the water, and brought her on shore. She was then conveyed to the Glaziers' Arms, Water-lane. where a , entletran from the Humane Soci e ty, a tt en d e d by Messrs. Hicks and Kerr, physicians, effected a com, plete resuscitation, and in about two hours she was' enabled to render-some account of her own situa tion, and the causes which led to the commission of the dreadful act. She stated that her name was N—, that she hat! been.some time separated from her. husband, anti that having called at his house, in the neighbourhood of Somers Town,, on Satur day evening last, she was'accused of riot and dis turbance, and given in custody. She renrainMju the watch-house until yesterday morning, when she was brought before the officers of Uattou Garden Police Office, where the presiding 7 .Alogistrate, however, dismissed the charge, and the - tinfor, tunate woman was ordered, a certain allowt.tice front her husband and ducharged.'

At the•base of the pillars above the arches, the words " Europe in Peace, and England in Glory," formed a range of varie,. gated letters ,fronrone end of the building to the other. This legend was : surmounted with the royal crown, the initials of his Majesty and the. Prince Regent, - i»termixe,d with olive. Carlton.- house was illuminated merely with torches. The Admiralty and the I.lOrse . Guards were elegantly illuminated, hut had nothing peculiar in their' de vices; The Treasury and Dowubv-street made. the greatest display. On the front of the.forme . r building were exposed trarisparences representing the arms of Great Britain between those of Austria, Prussia,Russia, and Belgium, and below the legend "La Belle Alliance," with a profusion of olives stir,: youmling the whole. The Foreign Office, as might. have been expected,. attracted particular notice; it was decorated with four lines of lamps, pla c ed above each other, the first fuirming, the. letters " November xx. 1815," the second " the Peace. of . Europe," the third and fourth crowns and ini tials of the Prince Regent and the Fling.-1:4 Pat liament house was not illuminated.—The re 4• of the Public-offices had nothing, but common emblems and. devices; the Admiralty retaining its anchor, and all the rest their crowns and initials. As the illtimination was not general, and conse quently no emuLtion excited, there were few shops or private houses that deserved attention. The trans - parencyoyer the shop of Ackermann, in the Strand, attracted the greatest crowd, end appeared to us the most deserving of notice, both for the ingenuity of its device, and the correctne:‘s of its execution. The Opera-house had a few lamps suspended over the arches of the different doors of admission. It exhibited likewise, a star, and a transparency, bitt neither of them were very brilliant. The little Theatre :was. nowise remarkable. The French AmbassuMor's house was elegantly but without any-device or peculiar ornainent. On one sidc..the. word '6 Peace" was : displayed in large and brilliaiciletters surrounded by tes coons of Lit - tips.' On the other was described the single character P,' surmounted by crown, and supported by tl‘o stars,' xi:hose variegated rays- agreeably contrasted with the verdant olive branches that half encircled them. The Spanish Ambassador had the word " Peace,'' crowned with a star, and placed above an olive yanch. In the eastern (palter of the metropolis, the por tico of the li..ust India Molise was illuminated iii much the same way as We have seen it on kOrmer occasions ; the .co!umns being ornalpented with wreaths of lamps. The front of the Bank pre sented a display that was at o,nte;brilliant and pleasing. The nature of the building admitting of great regularity and variety in the position.of , the lamps, which lined the various compartments in the front ; the whole had an extremely fine ef fect In the centre were the letters "G. R.*" separated by a brilliant -star,,.and the whole was surmounted by the word "'Peace," in large ca pitals. The Excise °ince, in.l3road-street, was ornamented With . a profusion of variegated lamps. Here also the word " Peace " was displayed in large capitalS i 'and the whole sormounted by an intnteiise croWtil Th e M a . n s i on House was illuminated as usual. Butt what lucre attracted chief notice was a trans parencv,'representing the genius of Peace, to whoin an altar was erected. Underneath were the following lines : - n - leelr eyed Peace : thon maid of heavenly race, 'ln Freedom's Isle thy lung sought.olive place: For thou alone can'st the poor man's woes, And art the source whence all his comfort Bows.
