The Rhenish Mercury, a copy c' Which we have received this morning, contains a long and angry Essay on what it considers as the Failure of •the Allies in' the Negotiations with France. The 'Writer, under the date of Paris, asserts that the . French have neither consented to the cession of fortres-.s, nor the payment of contributions : and that, Prussia alone demanded Lorraine and Alsace, but was not supported even by Austria. lie then goes on to state, that Talleyrand Meddled so long with the Electoral Colleges and the mode of Eke don, till at last the Chamber is chosen quite con trary to his intentions, composed mostly of No bles and Royalists. The people think themselve4 betrayed, the Bourbons are not trusted, and it can as little trust' the Chamber, but will soon consider it, as it does that.of:Buonaparte, Nvhich is now -universally .termed,.' The 'Chamber, calling itself :the Chamber of the Representatives of the, people. Fouchc has now retired, and the party which was supported by his being in the Mini stry, must naturally prepare an opposition. The second report exceeds in completeness every thing that has yet been written on the interior situation Qf France. Indeed there was nobody in the kingdom , so able to compose such a work as - he, because no body has so. manythousand ways as he to know what is wished, feared, hated, and done in every town; in every village. The Report embraces numerous objects, and presents them in a clear light, though they are very complex and intricate.'' It is like wise interesting on account of the freedom anal the art %yid) which lie speakS to the Bourbons of constitutional ideas—a task as difficult as Coper nicus had to philosophise with the Pope upon the motion of tl.e earth. Then it was believed that the heavens, even 'the starry heavens, belonged not to philosophy, but to the C bnrch : just as the Royalists now think France belong's not to the French, but to the Bourbons.",—(Rhenish cury, Oct. 15.) PARIS, OCT ; 13.—The 'formalities which are still wanting to complete the conventions with the Allied Powers are said to tonSi.t. iit _;lie deter titillation of the sums, which I.,:sides the contri bation-, of 700 millions, the Powers demand to liquidate the demands of their subjects. upon France, and which are to be paid by instalments. It is said that the claims of England alone amount to 200 millions of francs, for sums in the funds for merly sequestrated and confiscated, which has not yet been inscribed in the Grand Live, and which are now - claimed together with the interest for the last 23 years. These reclatnations were made last winter already by tlie English Ministry.— (Svplenzent to the Leyden Journal Politique, Oct. 20.) j3:,•r,;..tx, OcT.3.—A division of Prussian troops took possession of Swedish Pomerania, on the first of this month, according to the treaty con cluded with Denmark. VIENNA, OCT. 7.—The return of the Austrian army through this neighbourhood to Moravia and Bungary still continues. The whole reserve, under‘the Archduke Ferdinand, will go into guar ter in' Bohemia. It is believed that all the troops that return will he put on the peace establishment. The Austrian corps that is to remain in France will, it is said, be commanded by Field-Marshal Pi, nchi; tylio will have under him Generals Ra. desky, Stutteshcint, and Nicpperg.

REFRACTORY SEAMEN. END OF • THE COMBINATION'—SAILING OF THE SHIPS FROM SHIELDS, &c. We are rejoiced to have it in our power to state. oti the authority of authentic accounts received this morning, that the ,Ships so long under em bargo by ' the lawless Seamen, have all been brought out of Shields harbour, and arc on their 'voyage to London. The supply of Coals which will thus be brought to market, will reduce the price of that necessary article, and we hope we may consider the sailing of the ships as a proof that the disgraceful com bination in these ports is completely terminated. The following, we are authorised to state, are the cirenmstances which led to the con - cinsion of these alarming disturbances :-,-The MAivoa of NEWCASTLE went on board the Tariants, at two o'clock, on Saturday last, and with the other Ma gistrates, so disposed of the Military and Naval Forces, that by six o'clock, 25 ships had sailed.— The boats. with which the refracy Seamen had before commanded the harbour were taken possession. of by the Marines, without opposi .tion, Major-General RIALL commanded the Military, and Captain .'JOKER the Naval Forces. To the prompt and resolute conduct, of the Ma gistrates, and the zeal, activity, and vigilance of General RIALL and Captain ToxErt, therefore, are the Public indebted for such a firm and vigilant exeeutio.l of the measures directed by Government, as promises a full termination to disorders, which at one period threatened the mast - alarming con sequences. But other measures we know, were in readiness if the above arrangement had not happily proved effectual.' The following is a Copy of it Letter from Lord SIDNIOUTII to the IThAvott of NEWCASTLE : ()cfcber 19, 1315 Si:,--As the hopes, which had been long entertained, of a favourable tennination of the disturbancus at Shields and Sunderland, and of the speedy return of the seamen engaged in them to a state of obedience to the laws, have proved fal lacious, I am commanded by the Parsct REnr.'r to signify to you his Royal Highness's pleasure, that you, and the, Magistrates within your jurisdiction, do forthwith , adopt, ;n concert with the Magistrates of North Shields, of South Shields, and of Sunderland, the must effectual means within the seope,of their authority, for the purpose of putting an tad to these criminal and disgraceful proceedings. A considerable naval 'and military force is collected, and stationed on the spot, with the view of affording support and assistance to the Magistrates, if. necessary, in the execution of a duty which is indispensable, and which his Royal High ness confidently trusts, arid e:‘:tiects, wabe duly performed. I have, c.&c. • (Signed) • • SitiMOU'III. The Worshipful the Mayor of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. • A Letter, to the same effect was - scat to the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, and to the Bishop of DURHAM, as Custos Rotylorum of the County of Durham, Mails from Flanders and Holland, and Ham - burgh Papers to the 18th instant, arrived yester day. Amongst our extracts will be found a Treaty between Prussia and Denmark, by which the for mer exchanges with the latter Lunenborgh, lately obtained from Hanover, for Swedish Pomerania and the Island of Ruben, ceded to *Denmark in exchange, for Norway by Swetleu.—Prussia has taken possession of Swedish Pomerania agreeable to treaty.---We had intended - to offer sonic re marks on (he. conduct of the Duke of ORLEANS and the Minority in the French House of Peers, but more interesting home intelligence has arrived to occupy our space. Many proposals and vigorous remonstrances seem to have been made att to the ultimate ar rangements concerning the Provinces of Lorraine and Alsace. Wuriemborg, Baden, and Bavaria, besides Austria and Prussia, are the Powers most closely concerned in this matter. But what is most strange is, that Austria stated to have taken no part in these demands :=Prussia, on the contrary, is stated to have been most urgent. , " PrUssia demanded Lorraine a nd Alsace alone," says, M. CiOERRES, in the Rheni,m, Mercury of the 15th. Does tbli menu that Prus%ia demunded tfiese.Provinces for her seq alone ? If so, it cannot be matter of much wonder if such a demand met with no support. Whatever question might arise, in regard to the policy of depriving France of these Proving's with a view to the general arrangement ,of Europe, none could certainly ever be ente,rtained as to the expediency of givin thentto Prussia; such a distriluition of territory in that quar ter to that Power, would overturn and totally derange all that has, even been thought or settled as to a balance of power. A food deal of Im portance is to he attached to the contents of the Menish Mercury lithe Editor of that Paper does tint absolutely write under the especial protection of the Prussian Government, at least what he sa;•s cannot be supposQd to be very contrary to the feelings of the Court of Berlin, as he writes un- der the avowed protection of General C NEISEN Ali, ►> twin whose - weight in the councils of his country is we4l known. Firmly as we are of opinion, that the interests of no - two countries can - more decidedly be united, as to the benefits of a close alliance, than Great Britain and Prussia, yet that the former could sup port so extravagant a demand as that of the lat ter upon Lorraine and Alsace (Supposing it to have been for herself); is out of all reason. —Indeed, although we are at a loss what construction to put upon the words we have quoted, we cannot think they imply any thing so monstrous in Eu ropean policy, and so contrary to the true interests of Prussia , . Hpxv, on the other han:l, to account for the indifference of Austria, if\this was not the case, we know not, as the question concerned her very closely. In the meantime, the great arrangements with respect to Germany are asserted to have been so jar settled by th-e Act of Confederation having been ratified by all the Princes. The Austrian Observer asserted some time ago, that Prince MET TE Rtilmi had Ordered the printing of the Acts of the Congress to be suspended. The Courts of Vienna and 11(71.1111 are said to he perfectly agreed respecting the future sit,Ation of Germany. Harmony between these two Courts, on this subject, is a happy omen for the tranquillity of Europe. All accounts .f!om Germany agree in stating that the Prussian Monarch is exceedingly popular in his:own Kingdom; and,, although, like his predecessor, be is an absolute Monarch, yet there seems to be no doubt that he iss-qnite se rious in his intentions to give a great share of li berty to his subjects. Indeed we have private accounts from the North of Germany worthy of implicit credit, which state that the arrangements for this purpose are very far advanced. Prince HAtt tjEtcnErs.o the Prussian chiefMinistcr, places much confidence in the advice of M. NIEBUHR, the well known author of an excellent history of The latter is a man of first-rate abilities, but has been represented to us as holding very peculiar opinions respecting the welfare of nations, from which no fact, however authentic, no chain of reasoning, however clear, can induce him to deviate.—He is opposed by-HUMIOLDT, a man whose character has gained hint the esteem and confidence'of the ma jority of the Nation.
