As far as the subjels which are to form the Discussions of the Definitive Treaty were conversed upon; we believe there appeared, on the Part of the French Ministers, every disposition to bring them to an amicable adjustment; and we con ceive, there is very little apprehension of any diffi:. culty arising at Amirist. During the stay of the Embassy at Paiit, 80. LtpARTE, as is his custom; kept very retired; and t•tas said to be as deeply engaged in the business of State, as during the War.

THE news of PeaCe With Ebilaild-- - ariived too late at Porta Ferrajo to prevent a liloOdy Engage. ment from taking place on the loth inst. Admiral WARREN had brought the Beiieged a Reinfoz .- cetnent of sco Corsicans and Maltese, Who immediately made a sally under the command of Mr.-GRANT, the late English Consil At LeghOrn, and . took the outer entrenchments of the French Camp, and the Post at Madonna efelle On the rrth an advite-boatrrom Pcidgv, brought intelligence of the Signing of the Preliminaries of Peace with England, and an order for a 'Cessation of Hostilities. The Conimandant of Porto Ferrcjo would not at first believe the account ; but con sented to an Armistice till Admiral WARREN Should receive Official Advices. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. IC). LORD ELG N, in consequence of the fortunate issue of the Campaign in Egypt, has had an audience of the GitANn SEIGNIOR and, besides receiving the new Order of the Crescent, was presented with a horse magnificently caparisoned, and a Ring richly set with diamonds. Lady ELGIN has bee n pre sen t e d by the Sultana Mother, who received her visit this day, with a superb Aigrette set with diamonds. OCTOBER IS. The Captain PACHA has sent by an Eglish gate which has arzived here from AlLrandria, the first new tribute from Eoypt, consisting of two hundred Purses of gold and silver money coined at Cairo. The GRAND SEIGNIOR has on this Occasion made great presents to the Sultanas, the Foreign nisters, and other persons of.his Court-, and has ex pressed his particular satisfaaionAßthe gallant con dua of the Captain Pacha.- The. English Ambassador, Lord ELGIN, has had the unusual honour of dining with the GRAND SEIGNIOR, on which occasion he was presented with a Sword richly set with diamonds. His numerous retinue Were likewise presented with valuable rings, snuff-boxes, &c.; twenty-five persons belonging to the English Embassy, or of that Nation, have received sable pelisses, and thirty-seven,•ermin pe lisses. All the English here are treated with so much distinction, that the Natives of other Euro- • pean Countries appear somewhat envious of the preference given them. We were very glad to hear the intention lately announced by the CAANc ELL OR of the EXCHEQUER of discharging the Debt of the Civil List.—The Payments due on this head have been Six, and, we believe, sometimes Seven Quarters in arrear. How distressing this must be to some of those who receive small Salaries from this Fund, it is hardly neces-, nary to state. But when we mention the circum stance of the Arrear, we do not mean to impute blame to any person. If the Sum fixed for His MA J ESTY'S Civil List was adequate to its purpose, when it was settled at the present'Amount, how can it be so now, when, in the course of the last ten or fifteen years, many Articles have increased double. in their price ? When %..T consider this fia, and when 'we also recqlle4, that ,tlie,Revenne which His MAJESTY gave ~9p;_,in lied 3,g, the Civil List; haS increased to four, r orfiveAttkired Thousand Pounds beyond the Sum arrwlii4v,the present Civil List is fixed, we should not think it unreasonable, that an application should be, made to Parliament, even for a permanent Increase df the Civil List it self—But, to' Mr. ADDINGTON'S Proposition, we do not conceive there can be the slightest objedion in any quarter whatever-L--that 'Proposition is' to pay the Debt of the Civil List out of His MAJESTY'S Colonial Possessions.—This Plan has been for a conaiderable time past in contemplation, and upon the accomplishment of Peace,, was intended to be brought forward. The Colonial Possessions meant to be thtis appropriated, are, we believe, . those forfeited Estates in the Islands of St. Vincent, Do minica, &c. of which the Rents are at present re. ceived by the Crown. These Rents are small, but they would be much increased if the 'Lands were cultivated by individual Proprietors.: It is gene rally understood, that there are persons ready to make offers for the purchase of these Lands, and that the Sum they would probably prochice would go nearly, if not entirely, to' pay the Whole Aftears, and clear the Civil List from every incumbrauce. We apprOve of this Plan exceedingly, and 'We. hope for the Credit and Character of the' S t ation, and for the sake of those who are inamediately ested, that it will be carried into execution With out any delay. Letters hive been received froM Majoifi.

How .far the latter -circumstance will prove the correaness of the statement, we leave it to ihe House of Cointrions to determine. . •- . The case; we apprehend, was simply this.' This time twelvemonths the sum of 35, 000 1. was voted for Secret Service for three months, which was taken as a precedent at this same period of the year.-:- - - But though . j. 5,0001, had been Voted for the fir'st quarter; tt ,was found that no more than is,oool. was afterwards wanted to complete the 'whole de mand for secret service for the year ; and no more was applied for, or granted. 7 The whole sum there fore asked for Secret Service for th e l ast y ear . w i s 50;000l.-No more was likely to be wanted for the present ; and the event of the last year proves, that even though 35,000 had been voted for one quarter, the sum total for the whole year need not, e -.” tt certainly would not, have exceeded 50,0001. It,was theret'ore, on re-consideration, found that there wa.; no occasion to call on Parliament to vote more than a fourth of that sum, namely, 12,5001.—A11 tliip Mr. ADDINoToN distinaly stated in hiS speech 'Cri that occasion. We. arc althoSt ashamed to animadvert on such nonsense. Unless the Minister had atually eX pended 120,0001. in Secret Service for the ye 1800, there is no saving of 90,0001. for ibe,yar iB6l, by the e Vote of i2,ycoi. only for the current quarter. In fag; there eras a Reduaion of tefe than two-thirds last year in that Single Article of Public Exeenditure, which Was a pretty eot - idu'i'v earnest of there being no larger a Suni required tfit current year. But the most ridiculous circumstance is, that all the Arguments, (we .should rather say observations) of this intelligent, sapient, and inset. elated Statesman, whom The-Morning Post stones to have done such wonders for the Country, and whose acuteness, and vigilance.the p - resent co reapt Minister Must so much dread, , applied, and were btough; forward, not when the larger Sti ff i was pr - oposed, but when the . piopriety of voting the smaller Sim wa's under the consideration of 'the House of •ComMonsl BRltAp.—The Lord Mayor was yesterday waited on at Guildhall, by the Principals of the" Bake, Company, 4especting the settin g the Aisize 'of Bread, when his Lordship, "after having Caarulto the Reports of the Mealweighers, found ihatWlre'at and Flour were advanced since their last.Retdrns, ordered the Bread to be raised half an Assiteir one penny in the Peck Loaf, to commence :Ind-rfilre place to-morrow : the Quartern Loaf wheaten, will then be sold:J . 6i. one shilling, and Household ten. pence.half-penny, - : - 7' Monday the Scottish Corporation held tltir.lat)o niversary, at the London .
