place, and many were wounded on both sides. Order
a Rd tranquillity were,however, soon restored by the arrival
of the National Guard. '!'ha Police cannot be ignorant
of the frequent insults which both the Prussian and
English officers experience from the French military, who
are constantly arriving from the army of the Loire.
The person who assassinated Mr..Rean on the Boulevards
a few days ago, has not yet been discovered.

Pari3 Papers arrived on Monday. They state that the
Emperor of Russia left Paris on Thursday last, to assist at the
review of the grand Russian army in the plains of Vertus.
The Emperor of Austria, the King of Prussia, and the Duke
ut Wellington, will assist at the review. The Emperor of
Russia, it is seid, will return to Paris, but his army will begin
its march homeward from the plains of Champagne. These
papers state, what private letters have before hintedi that the
Emperor of Russia is for preserving the integrity of the
French territories. It has been remarked that the Russian
voors have been in VI-ante the least active of all the allied
troops, whilst the Prussians have been busily employed in
besieging the northern fortresses, and the Austrians have
been occupied in the east against Ifuninguen, Neuf Brisach,
Fort Louis, and other places. These military operations
naturally furnish us with a key to their political views ; fur,
if they were for the integrity of the French monarchy, they
would not, of course, expose their troops to the dangers of
siegt sof rrench fortre-ses. But the leaning which the
-Em
peror of Russia may have towards the integrity of France is
not, it is believed, of sa determined a nature as to induce
him to go beyond representations or remonstrances.
The Paris Papers of Saturday last arrived on Tuesday.
There.seems to be little doubt that the Russians will retire
firm, France immediately after the review in Champagne.
.1 French Commissioner has been already named to accom-
rany the first Russian division of 40,000 men as far as Man-
hrim. This will be followed by the remaining divisions,
s.-.corted in the same manner. The British troops arc also
'aid to be on the eve of departure. The first columns were
r-7:1 c. ted to begin their march to the Netherlands between
I.sth and 20th inst. This circumstance has induced the
}'axis editors to believe that the Treaty is actually signed—
that these movements proceed from the stipulations of the
Treaty, but that it will not be made public till the meeting
or the two Chambers. Bat if the Russians and British are
ol the eve 6f departure, as asset ted, the Prussians and Aus-
trians, Bavarians and Wirtemberg troops, are taking mea-
sores which indicate a much longer residence in the French
ten itories. The armies have been largely reinforced. They
e taking up stronger positions. To the other sieges car-
Jying on by the Prussians, is soon to be added the siege of
Longwy. The Austrians seem to be more especially charged
with the disarming of the different Departments. The Pre-
fect of the Lower Loire 14as announced in a Proclamation
from Nantes, that by a Convention between his iNlajestrand
the King of Prussia the admieistratioe of the different De-,
partments is to be surrendered to tilt King of France's offi-
r, and that no further levies are to be made by the Prus-
;:ian Autkuities, except fur the daily supplying the armies
m;ith provisions. In order to obtain these conditions, the
Hooch Goveinmenthas been obliged to enter into en to
for the payment of money at fixed periods. 11.Ws

a proclamation ftom the Austrian General Neipperg, whri
has the military command of the departments of the Gard*
the Ardeche, and the Ilerault. He declares that the disarm.
ing must be effected by his moveable columns, and that he
will punish all disaffected persons who shall be found with
arms by his troops. Another proclamation of the Prefect of
Gard announces, that the violent passions shall he kept dont
in all parties, and excesses punished by whomsoever com-
mitted. One of these excesses is mentioned. The Abbe
D'Esrigny, a Member of the Electoral College of Gard, was
assassinated neat his own house at Marvejols. It appears
that he might have recovered had medical aid been afforded
sooner; But the surgeon dared not leave a village at only
small distance from Marvejols, without an escort of 300
men ! The Abbe was therefore left 24 hours without assist.

returned to Paris on Friday night without the Duchess.,
Sonic persons have been tried at Lyons and at Caen for
crying rive l'Empercut.—Measures of severity continue to..
be exercised against the Press ; 4000 copies of the 7th vea-
lume of the Censeur, just about to be published, have beer)
seized.—A great number of Deputies have arrived at Paris.

appointed Major-Generals to the Royal Guard.
The Council of War for the trial of Ney has at length
been appointed. Amongst the members are Marshal Jour.:
clan, President; Massena, Augereau. and Victor. The
Council, it is said, was to assemble immediately, but th 6
precise day is not mentioned; some of the private letters say
the proceedings were to commence on Monday last.
By a Brussels Mail we learn, that Iluninguen suffered
greatly in the late bombardment, and that it is expected its
works will be rated. The people of Alsace continue tck
evince a very hostile di-,position towards the Allies; but moat
of the fortresses have now surrendered.

The following statement has been circulated as the final
arrangement agreed to by the respective Powers, for the di..
vision of the first instalment of the contributions to be paid
by France :—The States which are to be benefited by these
contributions are Russia, Great Britain, Austria, Prussia, and
the minor Governments of Germany. Each of these classes
arc to obtain, as the first instalment, and with all possible
promptitude, 54,000,000 of francs, composing together an
amount of 270,000,000 of francs, or nearly the moiety of
the entire sum expected to be raised by France towards the
expenses of the war incurred by the Confederate Sovereigns.
A deduction is to be made from the amount to be devoted to
Prussia, 41,000,000 of francs being only due to her as her
share of the above instalment, she having already obtained
the residue to answer some urgent demands.
There has been a revolt at Stiasburgh among the garrison,
on account of the non-payment of their arrears of pay. The
city, however, took upon itself the settlement of their ar-
rears, and tranquillity was restored.
4 The Pat i!;ians are about to be amused with a curious law-
suit. The late Marshal Lannes, eated Duke of Montebello,
when a private soldier, married a woman who was one of tl.c
followers of the camp, by whom lie had a son : subsequently,
when be became a Marshal, he put away his wife, and mar-
ried one of litionaparte's wards, by whom he had a'so a sop.
Louis XVIII. was recently advised to raise to the Peet al..e
the eldest son of Marshal Lannes. The person who co:ls
herself the Duchess of Montebello, claims of course this
honour for her son ; and this cla:m is naturally enough also
[uncle by the former wife of the Marshal on behalf of her sou.
