thence in the Flory gun.brig, from which he
landed at Deal between dine and four o'clock in
the afternoon of the sane day. After waiting upon

the Port Admiral, Mr. Basttaco proceeded in a
chaise and four eit London, where he arrived at
es* o'clock last morning, having completed his
journey from Paris to Deal in forty-eight hours, a
dares of speed unexampled in diplomatic history.
Odi his arrival in London, Mr. Bamtco went so the
Tesasign O&ce, in Downing-street, and, taking up
a Messenger there, proceeded to Sir Fear:cis VlN-
cant's, froth whence the dispatches were sent by
the second Mesas:nor to Lord Gessett.t.x's. TM
last +receding Messenger from the Earl of LACI
DIRD ALL arrived cm Saturday, tke 23d 'of Au-
gust ; and the long interval which succeeded,
without any accounts from his Lordship, has
been accounted for, by supposing that the French
Government wished to procrastinate, until it !tad
learned the determination of the Emperor et
Rout a upon the Treaty signed by M. 'YOU BIM at
Paris, and that consequently until then his Lord-
ship could have nothing important to esponsueicate.
From the arrival of bit. BASILMO, therefore, it is
concluded positively, that the French Government
had learned the determination of Russia, before his
departure from Paris, and that the dispatches con-
tain intelligence to that 'flea. Indeed, we did not
want this evideqce to prove that the sentiments of
the Emperor of RUSSIA upon the subjea must be
some time known to BON•P A ITS. We have re-
ceived 7hr Leydea Gazette, of the 23ch ult. contain.
ing an article dated Berlin, the 19th, which is de-
cisive of this question. It states, that M. D'Ousest.
arrived at St. Petersburgh in the beginning of the
month, we believe the 6th, and immediately deli-
vered the Treaty signed by him at Paris, which
was without delay taken into consideration by a
Grand Council of State. The result of the Coun-
cil is not noticed ; but the Berlin article adds, that
subsequent to the arrival of D'Ouaaae, the Maltese
Chevalier, Geosnowsee, set out from St. Peters-
burgls, and passed through Berlin on the 18th, on
his way to Paris, where he must have arrived some
diyi previous to Mr. B/W I !CO'S departure from
that city. Of the Emperor of Russia's determi-
nation we are not informed ; but whatever it may
have.lseen, we have the pleasure to think, that he
was not taken by surprise, as the moment our Go-
vernment was informed of the treaty being signed
at Paris, they dispatched two Messengers to St. Fe-
tersburgh, one by sea, and the other by land ; the
former of whom arrived in ten days, and returned
to this cr-;ntry on Saturday week. We understand,
the dispatches which he brought in answer to our
communication, contained strong assurances, that
the Emperor would nes ratify the treaty. On the
other hand, however, it ass reported yesterday, that
it had adlually received his ratification. This ru-
mour did not teceive much credit, and a repast hav-
ing been set on loot of the arrival of a second Mes-
senger, the funds experienced, in consequer.ce. a
considerable flultuation. The (MAIM opened at
61 premium, being a rise of I per cent. and in this
situation it remained the greater pelt of the wont-
ing ; but some large purchases of stock having been
made about one o'clock, a belief gained f round, that
the dispatches brought by Mr. Bast Lico were of a
favourable nature, and tke thenrann rose immediately

Among the latter, the rise was chiefly attributed to

day, from the Abel& dm Nerd. under the head of
Amsterdam, 17th August, a letter, dated the 13th,
from Paris, containing an account of the progress
of the negociation. We find, however, that it is
only a very imperfeB sketch of an article in the
Hamburgh Cos reyonelenten, and although it may not
be authentic, it will be found interesting. It is as
follows t—

England and France, the former power has insisted

a courier from England; he bruaght a repetition of

timatum of the British Government; and, at the
same time, an order to Lord Lauderdale, in case it
should be refused, to set out immediately, without
even listening to any counter-proposal whatever.
The French Plenipotentiaries, however. continued
to negotiate till the eight of the 10th ; but, on

themselves with the continued gay of Lord Lauder-

trusted to the restoration of a blessing which they
already thought is their possession, and which they
are extremely loth to low, after their hopes had
been so highly exalted.
" The Exchange, on the 1 tth, felt the conse-
quences of the equivocal state of the negotiation.
The Resin fell to 66 fr. and the Bank shares suf-
fered a proportionate depression.

" The French Plenipotentiaries are M. Cham-
pagny, Minister of the Interior, formerly Ambae-
sador to the Court of Vienpa. and General Clarke.
" At this moment, the 19th. at nine o'clock in
the morning, Lord Lauderdale is still at Paris.—

The Funds, yesterday. were somewhat better :

hewer BONA? ARTS has arrived at Paris. The
Hotel which he frequented was not far distant from
Mr. BASIL ico's lodgings. Some late French papers
have been received by Government, but with the ex-
ception of Janomes escape, they contain, we under-
stand, nothing of importance. The Veteran, Ja-
aomx's ship, was chaced two days by the Glaretear,
but unfortunately escaped into L'Orient.

We have received, by the last Leeward Island
Packet, letters and papers from Barbedoes, to the
9th July, stating, that ignoble BOP • r art's squa-
dron had taken the defenceleu island of Montserrat.
The contents are given in the first page of this paper.
We must observe, that the French squadron sailed
from Martinique in two or three divisions, previous
to the Sd July, and was pursued clear of the West
Indies, standing North. by Admiral Comta.us a, on
the 7th. Upon the first appearance of the French,
there was a report of their having captured St. Kitts,
Nevis, and Montserrat. The account in the Barba-
does Paper appears to be a repetition of that report.

We have already announced the arrival of a Ley-
Jen Gazette of the *9th. In addition to the Betlin
article which we have noticed, it contains several
interesting particulars, chiefly horn Paris, to the
25th. They state that BOhAPAIITE, at that date,
still remained at Rambouil!et, and that orders had
been definitively issued for the return of the several
corps of the Grand Army to attend the Triumphal
Fires in that city, at the end of September. Three
camps have been traced out for their recepti m, one
at Meudon, one at Charenton, and one at St. Denis.

Ithe 30th, 93d, and 39th regiments, entered Paris on

with bullets, flying, and their baggage carried in
