FRENCH PAPERS. OFVICIAL NOTE uttATlva TO TUE DIMINUTION OF MI ARMY OF OCCVPATION. " The Courts of Austria, England, Prussia, a►►d Russia, having taken intti consideration the desire m.+r►ifested by his Must Christian Majesty 'to have the Minibus of. the Army of Occupation dirttinished, and proportionably the amount of charge occasioned by ifs presence on the French territory, have authorized the Undersigned to t►►ake the following Communication to his Excel tc►►cy the Duke de Richelieu, President of the Council of Ministers and Secretary of State for' tire Department of Foreign Affairs:— " At the time when the King, re-established upon hislbrone, and put in possession of his legi timate and constitutional anthority, endeavoured t'o discover, in concert with the other Powers, the most efficacious means of consolidating internal , order in France, and of associating his kingdom to the system of good understanding and general pacificaticin intwruptell'by the troubles which were scarcely put *au end to, it was found that the tem ,pnravy presence of an Allied Army was absolutely recessary both to sem e Europe against the con sequences of agitations, tie renewal of which were flit( atcoed, and to afford to the Royal Authority Tipporinnity of exercising in tranquillity its 'benevolent influence, and of strengthening it— velf by ~the attachment and submission of 'all euchmen. • " The solicitude of his Most Christian 11ajEsty to riTder this indispensible expedient the least ()heroin to his subjects, anti the wiSrlom which directed all the arrangements stipulated at that pet iod, kJ them to anticipate by common accor tic ease in which the diminution of the Army of Occupation might take place without weakening the motives or injuring the great interests which had rendered its presence necessary. These conditions the Undersigned have great satisfdetionin retracing f they consist in the firm ,estith!ishrnent of the legitimate dynasty, and in the Su c c ess of th e efforts and endeavours of his Most Christian Majevy to compress factions, dissip a t e °el rot's, tranquillize nalbions, and Iltlite all French. Men around tho Throne by tho conic witdiett and the ...Mite intertste. •t# The great result _desired 'autl looked to ty nil Europe, could be neither the work of a moment, nor the etfi-ct of a single effort. The Allied Powers bai'e observed with a constant attention, but not with aitonistmeut, the difference* of opinion which have prevailed as to the mode of obtaining it. Tn thii attitude they have limited to the au r'eriur wisdom of the King for the measures pro per to fix uncertainty, and to give to his.adminil (ration a firm and regular march, slot doubting that ha would unite with the dignity of the Throne and the rights of bis Crow», that magnanimity which, after civil discord, assures and encourages the weak, and, by an etilightentd confidence, ex cite the zeal of his other subjects. " Experience hdving already happily fulfilled, 85 far u the nature of things trill allow, the hopes Etirope upon this subject, the Allied Sove reigns, eager to contribute to this great work, stud hi give to the nation the means of enjoying all the henvfits which the efforteand the wisdom k a the King ure preparing for it, do not hesitate to re t iard the present state of affairs as sufficient determine' the gne)tion which they have been called upon to decide. " The go(iii raids with which the King's Go vernment has hitherto fulfilled the engagements entere.koto with the Allies, and the care which lots; ` been taken to provide for.the different ser tiers . of the (Imam year, by 0414.1ing to die 're sonree4 arising front the rvventies of the state those of a credit,, guaranteed by foreign and na tional banking-houses, the most considerable in riqroite, have also reinovd the difficulties which Thielit otherwise have jmtly isen upon this point .of the proposed question. " .comitlrrations have at the same time ixcri IrJettgtheflvtl by the opinion ivhieh his Fa evikticy Aiar,lial the Duke of Welliugtou hag btu roptusted to give respecting an object of qutit gtoit ; 1 11pOrtiline. " The favottreibitropinion end the authority of a personage o eminent, have added to the motives alresny :fluted, till those tvhich human prudence eau nltittt to justify a measure demanded and con e...net' tii with 'sentiments tit sincere and recipro cal s. '•' The Uudersigned are therefore authorised by tLeir tespectittl Court to notify to his FaccilencY th e Duke de Richelieu, t;fit t!tc. rettuetitel of the Arroy - of Occupation seill be L.,rt.rd ;11ty effect. 4 ' %hot the oraount,of the,4l3l;wat.on of the %thole army I be 39,,e;f1 Met!

" G. Lastly, that ft our the same period France shall other wise enjoy all the advantages arising front the said reduction, conformably to existing Treaties and Uotiventions. " In communicating so marked a testimony of friendship and confidence to his-Most Christian Majesty, on the part of their August Masters, the Undersigned have at the sante time to declare to his Excellency the Duke de 'Richelieu how much the principles of the Ministry over which he pre sides, awl those %‘hieh are personal to himself, has contributed to establish that mutual good will, which; directed by the spirit and the letter of existing Treaties, has hitherto served to ar range so many delicate•affairs, and which affords for the future the must satisfactory pledges of a definitive and satisfactory conclusion. ‘4 They seize tltii opportunity of renewing. to the Duke de Richelieu the assurances of their high consideration. tSignetl) "The Panin NINCENT " i FABLES s . rumcv " count DE Gol,Tz " rozzo DI BORGO." " Paris, FA. 10, 1817. On Tuesday, the day after the . above note, the following communication was made by the Duke d.s' Richelieu to the Chamber of Deputies, in the midst of the discussion on the Budget 3 " Messieurs, the King has commanded us (the Ministers) to communicate to you the result of the negociatious with which his Nlajesty has been occupied to procure far France a dimi nution Eddie burdens which have pressed upon her in come-, quenee Of the events of 13 Long since his love for his people bad anticipated the earnest wishes expressed in this Chamber. All his efforts, all his cares hare' been directed to an object so desirable, so dear to hii beart,; and hislster nal solicitude now receives its most satisfactory reward. " We have the satisfaction of onnomicing,tpxuu, that aftcr the adoption of a Law of Finance, under which the solid means of credit, proportioning the resources to the expences and the charges, will ensure the service« of the current year, the Army of Occupation will be diminished one-fifth, that is to say,. 30,000 men, and proportionably the charge arising frem that little. " We ought also to Worm )'ou, that according to the ex, planatimis with the Ministers of the Allied Courts, the aug nictitation of pay, amounting in the Budget of thislear to the s►hht of 25,000,000 francs, will nut take place until a more distant period. Unfortunately this sceotad facility for the poilpimeincut of the augoisintation of the pay,of the Arinyuf Occupation, will not bring with it any diminution of our present charge. The extraordinary rise in the prices of arti cles of subsistence balances the advantage of delay thus granted to us, in consequence of the increase of the etpence of subsistence to abide we ore Subjected. The Clovernmeat, will publish an account of the differenc►► between the actual "Prime of this year, and the expeucti stated in the Budget at present under discussion. " The payment of the war indemnity will also experience this year some modifications, which, without infringing Ti ea tics, will greatly facilitate to us its discharge. " Let us enjoy, Messieurs, the happy a:►reliore►tion which flits wisdom andloresight.uf the•Kipg have prepared fur us, tVe awe it to the firm perseverance of the ,Itnitrrelt in causing the laws to be equally executed with regard to all classes of his subjecti: We owe it to our fidelity in fulfilling all our engagements,'to our public arrangements with a view to that object, to the courageous resignation of the French people, and to the security which Is inspirrl by the conebrd between the three branches of the Legislative Power. " This amelioration is also to be attributed, Messieurs, to the elevated character of the Ministers of the Allied Courts, faithful interpreters of th'e dispositions of their SoVereigns towards France, and the sentiment, of Flluleetowarris them ; to the nobbi disinterestedness of the Allied Gene:Ms, ►eho, following the example of their illustrious Chef, confide much more ht French fidelity than in the numbers of their soldiers. So favourable a modification of treitties which threatened more of rigour, is a happy augury for France; it presages to Europe a long peace, which may perpetuate between the na tions the union that prevails between the Sorereigns." . This announcement was, accuriliog to The Mo niteur, followed by shows of < Vive to Roi !" from the whole ChaMber, as well as the spectators present. The discussion of the Bodget was then lc:slimed and closed, the Rupporteurs to be heard, on Friday. The Chamber stihsequently, in a Se-, cret Committee, appointed a D►•putttcion to wait upon the King to thank him for the above coot• municaiioti. A sithilifi - Measure eves ail Opted in e Chamber of Peer's, , s, to which the slime Ootn- Municistion was also made oit Tuesday. On the time day likewise the Projets regarding the I►ubiit; Journals and the Liberty of the Press were trans mitted to the Peers, who appointed the ditietisiiao on them for Saturday, Pittutt, Fan. 12.—At eight: o'clock this evening the King received the Addresses of Oa • two Chambers which were vote,.. yesterday.

The rigour of the sea son gate occasion to a circomstance Which the oldest inhabitants of the city do not recollect to have peen before. Several thousand bears, sap pow' to have come front the mountains and forests 200 leagues off, overspread the neighbour ing country and shritved themselves in large groups at the very gates of Moscow'. Theirtrunt her occasioned the greatest terror. The troops of .the garrison marched out against them with their artillery. I%lore than 600 were killed; the rest tied in all directions, and have proliahly regained their retreat. r- PArtis, FS B• 13.--4,lis Majesty held a Council yesteilLy, at whi;:h ail the Minitters assisted.
