However, tile portions which are to be delive'recl according tn a fixed tarif, arc not to c;cceed 200,000, and he rations not 50,000. For pay, equipments, thithing, and other necessaries, the Government is to pay - 50 millions annually ; but the Allies, in order to assist France as much as possible, will be cf,ntent with 30 millions for the first year, on con r'iiion that the deficiency shall be paid in the fol- lowing years. 3. France provides for the keeping up of the f,O't fit.ations; as well as of the buildings belong ing to the civil and military administration, and for the provisioning of the fortresses -in the occu pation of the Allies. The furnishing- of what is necessary for these purposes, in which the maxinis of the French .military adorinistrations are ob erved, is made upon the application of the Allied Armies to the French Government, which has to arrange with them the means of providing- for these supplies and works in a manner suitable to both parties. -1. according to the Fifth Article of the prin. cial Convention, the line to be occupied by the Allied Troops extends along the frontiers which divide the Departments of the Pas de Calais, the North, the Ardennes, .the Macse, the Moselle, th e Lower Rhine, and the Upper Riling . , from the interior of France. It is further agreed, :_that futiless pat ticular reasons should, with the con sent of both parties, cause an alteratioti to be made) that the following districts and territo yies shall not be occupied either by the Allied or French troops. In the Departmeot of the 6onnue, the whole country northwards of that river from Liam, to its falling into the sea ; in the Department of the Aisne, ,the dis tricts of St. Quentin, Vervia and Laon ; in the department of the Alerne, those of. Rheims, St. Menehand and Vitry ; io the department of the Tipper Marne, St. Dizier, and .3 ; in the department of the Meurthe, Tool, Dicuze, Saar burg and Namont ; in toe department of the Vu sage, those of St. Diez, Novel es, and Premeie mont ; in the department of the Upper Saone, the district of Leere ; in the department of the Daubs, that of St. Ilypolite. The King of France may have garrisons in the towns which lie in the territory occupied by the Al lies, the strength of which garrisons is limit ed as follows Calais, 1,000 men; Gra velines, 500 ; Bergee, 500 ; )tner, 1,50.0 ; Bethune, ; MonLeoii, 500 ; Nisden, 250 ; Andres, 250 ; Acre, 500 ; Arras, 1000 ; Boolonge, 300; St. 'fern:old, 300 ; Lille, 3000 ; Dunkirk and its forts, 1000 ; Douav and Le Louche, 1000 ; Ver dun, 500 ; Metz, 3000; . Lauterberg, 200 ; IVeis semherg ; Petite Pierre, 100 ; Strasburg, 3000 ; eblitstaiit, 1000 ; New Bresach and Fort Mor tier, 1,100 ; Befort, 1000. It is, however, agreed, that the moteriel of the engineer-and artillery de partments, and the arms not properly belonging to these places, shall be removed front them to other places at the option of the French Go`vernment, .which must, however, lie without the litres occu pied by the Allied troops, aud without the line not occupied by troops of either' party. If the Commauder in Chief is informed of a violation Of these arrangements, he makes a remonstrance to the French Government, which promises to pay due attention to it. As the above places are at present without garrisons, the French Govern ment may send thither the stipulated number of troops as soon as it pleases, first however inform ing the Commander in Chief. s.The military command of the whole extent 'of the departments through which passes the mi litary line formed by the allied troops, belongs to the brmotander in Chief of the Allies. The places Inentioaed in Article 4, are to be garrisoned by French troops, together with a rayon of 1000. toises, are excepted flow this military command. 6. The Civil administrative Justice, levying of taxes raniain in the hands of the French Go vernment. The same is the case with the Cu stoms. They remain in their present state, and she Commanders of the allied troops not only put no obstacles in the way of their Officers, but in case of need, lend them assistance. 7. To prevent all abuses in respect of the Cus toms, the clothes, &c. for the troops shall not be imported, except provided with certificates of ori gin, and in consequence of a previous communi cation, of the Commander of ti.e. Corps to the Ge ller:;! in Chief, who on his side gives information to the Custom-house Officers. The Gens d'Armes continue to do duty in t lie conntries occupied by the Allies. J. The troops not belonging to the Army of Occupation leave France in -- days, after the signature .of the principal Treaty. The territories cc:icrl to the Allies, as well as the places Landau, Saarlonis, and Versoix, will be evacuated in -- 'days from the same time. The places will be given up in the condition in which they were on the 2Stl ScptembQr. Commi3sioneys will be ,tamed on both sides to report on this situation, and to deliver up and receive the ntilitary stores, plans, models, and archives belonging to the ceded places and districts. CommisSi(mers will be also named to examine and report the situation of the places to be giecit in depot to the Allies, Ire :it'll in the bends of Prance, and aye to be deliveyed up it; ----- days. Commissioners shall also report the state of the fortresses already in the hands of the Allies cal the day when they are considered as occupied. The Allies promise to restore, at the end of the occupation, all the places named in Article 5 of the principal Treaty, 'in the same state in which they foonitrtbezu, without, however, being au. prevented which the French Government has not by the necessary repairs. SECOND SUBSIDIARY CONVENTION, RELAIVE TO THE SUM TO WE PAID BY rHANcn AS INDErINITY. Art. 1. The 700 millions are to he paid, day by dav, in equal proportions, in the course of the live }Tars, by I, u . upon the French Treasury, payable to beard'. 2. The Treasury delivers immediately to the Allied Powers 15 bends fengu,:, , eoens) of 4G 2-.3ds millions each, flaking to gether the principal sum of 700 miilions, payable, the first on the 31st oC. March, is i ; the second the 3 of July ; and so from four to tour mouths. 3. In the month preceding the four month: in which a bend is payahle, this hood will be divided by the French Treasl:ry into bon,,, - 11;1;11.;le to :leaver at Faris, in equal por tions from the first to the d;:v of the four months. 'Titus r. g. the bonds of 46 2.-3 millions, due on the 31st of Match, 1816, will he exchanged in :Cos-ember, 1815, for such bons payable in equal sums from the Ist of December, 1815, to March 3/, 1816. The same is to be done with the hued he coining. due on July al. 18 rG , For that is to tie paid every day. there will not IPe given a sinzle lion, hit se veral coupons of lo0:1' 2000, 5,010, 10,00), and 20,000 francs, together the sum due each day. . . 4. 01 these hints, no more than !City millions shall' e in circulation at our ti.ne, in order to prevent the evils of a greater aceumnlittion. 5. France has no interest tcs pay for the delay of five yeals granted for the•payment. 6. For the security of the regularity of these payments, France gives the Allies an annuity ',lterate) of seven millions odi a capital of 140 millions in the Gland Livre. This amenity is, in ca e. of 'need to cover what is not redeemed by the French Government, in order, at the end of each half-year, in the manner below mentioned, to bring the payments in equilibrium with the expiration of the lions. 7. The Iles tes are inscribed in the names of the persons to be pointed otit;hy the Allies, to whom, however, the inscrip tions cannot be delivered, except in the case below-mention- • ed. The Allies also reserve to It the inscriptions trans ferred to other names as often as they please. • 8. The inscriptions will be deposited with one Cashier ap pointed by the Allies, and one appointed by France 9. A mixed Committee, equal in number, (this seems to mean that half the members are to he named .by the Allies, and half by France) exantines evei•y six months the • state of the payments, and still:es a balance. The redeemed bons announce the payments; the bons not then presented to the French Treasury belong to the follow ing balance. Those, lastly, which have expired, and have been presented, but not paid, indicate the arrear, and the sum of Inscriptions necessary according to the current course of exchange, to cover the deficiency. As soon as this opera tion is finished, the ulipaid nuns will in; returned to the French Commissioner, and the mixed Committee then older theca shiers to deliver out the sum fixed. The latter are then au thorised and hound to deliver it to the Commissioners of the Allied Powers, who then dispose of it at their discretion. 10. France engages in ar,cu case ismiediately to deliver to the cashiers .an account in inscriptions equal to the sum to be delivered by them, so that the annuity in article 8 may be always complete. 11. For these boos the payment. of which is not made when due, by. Ihe faults of France, it pays 6 per cent. interest per annum, reehoning from the tiny of their lit•coming 12. tVhcit the first 600 millions are paid, the Allies, in order to hasten the close of the account, will, if agreeable to France, tale the annuity (Rente) fixed in Act 8, at the course of exchange then current, to the amount of the arrear of the 700 millions, so that France will only have to pay what difierence there may be. 13. If this is n o t agreeable to France, the payment of the other 100 utilliuns will be made in the manner stipulated in Articles 2, a , 4, and 5. After the discharge of the whole 700 Frtnee receives the inscriptions Bach 16. The French Government engages, beside the pecuniary indemnities fixed ire the present Convention, to fulfil all the engagements entered into by separate Conventithis with the several Powers and their Allies, relative to the clothing and equipment of their armies, mid punctually to have delivered and paid Gee lions and ininulitts proceeding tUeretroni, so far as they shall not have been realised at the tine of signing the main licitly, and the present Convention. DUTCH MAIL, IRECEIVED THIS MORNING.] BRUSSELS, Nov. 18.—The two squadrons of cavalry, which still formed a part of the garrison of Valenciennes, have been disbanded within these few days, and the men sent to their homes ; the Urban Guard alone now does duty in that fortress, the few regular troops still there being but a weak detachment of artillery. The Prussian troops upon the frontiers are still in the same positions ; the cavalry has extended its cantonments very tar, for the convenience of procuring forage. Arras is by this means quite surrounded, which is the reason that the gates of that place arc continually shut. As soon as the difficulties which have stopped the march of the Prussian Army shall be removed, the first and 6th corps will be gin their march through Brabant and Hainault, to cross the Maese at Liege, they have begun to form very large magazi.:es for the subsistence of those troops, who are' estimated at 70,000 men, in order to relieve the inhabitants as much as possible. The Prefect of the Department of the North has sent a circular letter to all the Autho rities under him, to call upon the inhabitants to pay their quota without delay, towards the ex. traordinary contribution of 100 millions, that the treasury may be able to meet the extraordinary expences occasioned by the fOreign troops: He has also sent instructions to the Mayors, exhort ing them in the name of the Icing and country, to exert themselves to the utmost, that no dis putes may arise between the inhabitants and the Prussians, anti painting in the most li :ely colours the dreadful consequettees that would ensue. VERSAILLES, NOV. 14.—1 t is positively asserted that the Treaty was concluded last week, and that it is fixed how the securities shall he given by France for the payment of the contributions. They are to be kept, it is said, in a chest with 12 locks, six of which are to be given to six Com missioners of the Allies and six to France. It is also asserted, that the strength of the French army is prescribed by the Allies, who are stated to hare observed to the French Ministers, that France did not want any great army to secure its internal tranquillity, as it would be sufficiently protected from without by the. Allies. The French feel greatly humbled at this, and do not conceal it. HAGUC, Nov. I9.—H. It. H. the Prince of Orange arrived here on the 17th, in good health. The joyful anniversary of the birth of our beloved Queer), and iLc sccuad of our at:Umduce, wlts No further Paris Papers have arrived since our last, and from those of yeterday we conclude the report on th e first day Of LAVALETTE'S Trial.— This Gentleman seems to be a wag—his retorts are very pithy, and his remarks very humorous. What pity it is, that with these qualifications he should fail in the main part, and his defence should be so impotent. Fouc LIE, says a paragraph, is to be recalled and tried, but we give no credit to this rumour, even supposing that M. Fouciia would obey the unpleasant summons. It is bet ter to be an Ambassador than a Prisoner, and it would be long before any whistle in France could " lure this Tassel Falcon - back again." But it is scarcely to be wished that there should be many State Trials in France, for those which have already taken place are so wretchedly conducted, that they serve more so encourage than to intimidate the traitorons. Had the KiNG of FRANCE, on entering Paris, proclaimed Martial Law, and executed the chief leaders of the revolt, the lesson would have been a, thocisand times more imposing, salutary, just, and humane; but this lingering, wavering, timid justice, is-good neither for puriishment nor example. The Bremen Gazette of the 17th, a copy of which arrived !act night, contains the substance of two of the Auxiliary Conventions which are annexed to the Treaty of Paris. These statements we have co pied, as c,oligh they arc premature, (being actually promulgated at Bremen before the Treaties were signed at Paris), they may be received as very ae• curate Epitomes of the Documents in question.— The first is Military, and r articularizcs the line mpv—rnmi= - - -- r - tt7 - 15 - C (ICC II pied by the mies, with the provisions for their Or port, and also prescribes the neutral belt svbi cit is to be chalked out, as we noticed on Tuesd 9 P between the external parts thus occupied, and the interior of France. The second is of a pecuniary nature, and defines the periods and a mount O f payments to be made by France during %Te years. The amount, our Readers know, 15 :d nl 700,000,000 francs ; awl we rejoice to observe? that this Contribution is to be levied daily by bon s on the Treasury, payable to bearer. Tie secur i ' ties fen• the punctual discharge of these obliga tions, are bonds payable every four months, of ne greater value indeed than the original engagement' but useful for balanciag . the accounts. 'lnc tnino f arrangements appear to be of the best kind for keeping these accounts clear, and securing a re" plat- awl prompt observance of -this very portant appendage to the Treaty. The Public Offices are to be illuminated 0? Monday, for one night only, in honour of the •Peace. The public confidence in the Government of his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT , i s SO firmly fixed, that this great event has excited le" sensation than it would have done, Lbad we been previously perplexed with " saucy doubts atul fears." But it is, nevertheless, a subject ripe flr i general rejoicing; a triumph which . posterity have cause to commemorate with honours, ev e° beyond those which contemporary feeling m a i a iford. The sutiject, next to- the Treaty, of perhaps the greatest interest to the Public, is that which re lates to the Protestants in the South of stance' At present, we confess that we are not sul* ficiently furnished with authentic inf° rnia' Lion upon it to warrant a decided opinion."' Our hearts are sn liable to be led away by tht : mere shout of " the Protestants are persecuted, that it behoves us to guard most strictly ag airist imposition. Our mistrust too is increased by the s fanatical fury with which this shout is re.echoe by Journals which we have ever seen devot°l to the enemies of Great Britain. They 131$1 call the sufferers in the broils which agitate many parts of France, Protestants, and 0 ° of them may be Protestants ; but surely tire see men of all persuasions die in • these 11° Iry • contests; and for ourselves we will boldly s° ' ' that we do not think there is enough of relig i° l4 l4s principle in all France, either to excite or Cl' d i, a e, the . flame of persecution for conscience 53 to We shall, however, return to this matter, an the base and insensate atta' k noon the Dube o s ANGoULcME, which disgraces even t h e column of the Morning Chronicle this day. There has been, we understand, a vast I- of suspicious foreigners, and some dang-clou2 h t e til racters from the Continent, within the last be days ; but we have the satisfaction to 'assu re ' t Public that the utmost vigilance to discover 511 remove them prevails at the Home Department' .

The Journal de Paris states, that Divine Service. is regularly performed every Sunday, according to the rites of the Church of England, in the Tem' pie of the Oratoire, in Paris. The bawl of t" Guards executes the music of the Psalms ; tlrC service is performed with great regularity ; it is generally attended by the most respectable English families at Paris.
