We I►ave received Paris Papers of Sunday.
Transports are preparing in the harluiur of Ca-
lais fur the British troops, who, to the amount of
18,000 men, will, it is expected. embark there fur
England between the 10th and 20th of this month.
The ratifications of the Treaty for Evacuating
France were to he exchanged at Aix-le-Chapelle oil
Saturday or Monday la►t, immediately on which
the Sovereigns were to proceed to review the
Allied troops, preparatory to their departure. A
copy of the Treaty of Evacuation will be found
in our preceding colu►nns. By the preamble it
appears that the measure of evacuation has been
conceded by the Allied Sovereigns at the express
instance of the King of FRANCS, who urges in
support of his demand the tranquil state of France.
and the faithful execution on his part of the Treaty
of November, 1815. The Treaty consists of eight
articles, of which we have already communicated
the substance to our readers. Of the 265 millions
still to be paid by France, 100 millions are to be in-
scribed in the great book of the public debt, bearing
interest from the ted of September, and the re-
waining 165 millions are to be paid by nine
monthly instalments, by draughts on the houses
of Hoer and Hamra. The first instalment
will be paid on the 6th of January next, and to
provide for this sum Mr. &ultra left Aix-la-Cha-
pelle on the 13th of October for Paris. The French
funds have fallen back to the state they were in pre-
vious to the decision of the Allied Sovereigns; but
we cannot assent to the doctrine advanced by our
contemporaries, that • trifling fall in the French
funds, under the present circumstances, argues any
want of confidence in the stability of the Govern-
ment. An approaching loan always has a preju-
dicial effect upon the funds, because the contrac-
tors sell sat for the impose of meeting it. An
immediate esle of 18 millions of francs, providing
for the first monthly instalment, with an inscrip-
tion of 100 millions, may be expected to counter-
' act. the good effects which the removal of the Al-
lied armies might otherwise have produced on the
public funds.

New York, Boston, and Washington Papers, of

ed. The high anticipations which the course of

ties from the New World. We must insensibly,
and perhaps unwillingly, become absorbed in Ame-
rican politics, and acknowledge their influence even
in the affairs of our own more immediate system.
We begin to watch the proceedings on the other side
of the Atlantic with nearly the same attention as we
have been heretofore accustomed to bestow solely
on the conduct of France; end we canvass the
probabilities of event', and calculate the weight of
'conjectures as they are presented in the American
!Journals, with an anxiety that 'hews bow intimately
'vie feel the result to be associated with our own
prosperity.
These remarks were suggested by it speculation
that appears in an American Paper respecting the
probable employment of the force now collecting
under General Litta.sta AND, in the province of the
Texas. It consists of military adventurers, princi-
pally French, who have been so long accustomed
to the tumult of war, the splendour, of triumph,
and the delights of plunder, that we may very well
believe a life of peace would be with them of short
duration, if they possessed the means of waging
successful war. The recent change in their place of
settlement was but the result of their habitue! rest-
lessor's, or arose from the conviction that the Ala.
barns territory was less calculated for warlike enter-
prise and the extension of conquest than the neigh-
bourhood of the Trinity River. They are said lately
to have increased iu force to a great degree. and from
the anxious care with which they maintain the ob-
seriatice of their ancient discipline, suspicions are
entertained that they cast a longing eye upon the
Spanish Province of Mexico, where they hope to
convert the intestine commotion, to their individual
advantage. In the present disjointed state or that
part of the Spanish Monarchy, there cast be no
doubt but that an irruption of a considerable num-
ber of veteran French troops, led by sonic .of
NaP0.1.110117/ Generals, and avowedly acting upon
merely popular principles, must be attended with
important
.consequences, affecting the destiny of
Mexico. Events so far are favourable to the emi•
grant.adventurens. for the, uproar of a revolution
does not afford time for ascertaining the motives of

the people. and makes their confidence the means
of his own elevation.

stance, to be pregnant with important events for
America. It opens under auspices su fsvourable

expedition from Spain is languishing in the her-
hour of Cadiz. and money is wanting to sispify

and in a good cause, would he found' in the
personal enthusiasm of individuals. The result Or
such a contest cannot be doubtful. The tine pro-
winces of South America will be freed from ii',

front the horrors of the Inquisition. It is too true
that civil wars may not even then have terminated,
and that the want of union between the 'several
States exposes some of them to the danger of
tyranny; but still it will be the tyranny of a native
Government, and there never was tyrant so cam
pricious or so malignant, who could per se inflict
so much misery nu his subjects if in the midst of
them, as must flow from a foreign arbitrary Govern-
ment, whose vices. follies. and weaknesses. aro

An article from the National latelligeNeer (the
Government Journal) implies; that St. !Mirka and
Pensacola will be delivered up to the Spanish ao-
thorities. The military post of St. Mark'. in Esist
Florida, will be surrendered only to a force " com-
petent to hold it." Pensacola, on the conttary,
will be surrendered " without condition to any
agent of Spain duly authorised to receive it." The
latter condition is easily understood. bust some dif-
ficulty might he found in determining the other.
