clouds that may partially darken the-political horizon.
As the Sovereigns met principally to decide on the af-
fairs of France, their personal presence will be given
no longer than they are terminated. The Ministers
will remain kvre some time longer, to settle some
other matters of less importance ;"•butzts they are re-
solved not to open a door for general discussion, or to
receive, like an Amphictionie Council. the grievances of
particular States, they have given, it is said, positive
information to Spain, that they do not mean to enter-
tain the question of dispute between her and her colo-
nies. It is said, however, that Cevallos, the Spanish
Minister at Vienna, is coming here to try the effect of
his representations and persuasions. We hear, in a
manner less positive, that arrangements will be pro-
posed by the Congress, to settle the diiference between
Bavaria and Baden. This has been obtained, it is said,
by the intervention of Austria."

Count Caraman arrived at Paris also with the ahava
news. It is stated that all the details of the arrange-
ments regarding France may he probahly setiled by the
18th or 20th instant, and that the time of convoking
the French Chambers was regulated by the hopes of
this arrangement. Lord Castlereagh also is said to
have been desirous of meeting. Parliautant with the
treaty in his pocket ; and his Lordshipivepresenied
to have confirmed, in some degree, the conjectures pub-
lished within these few days, with respect to the period
at which Parliament ;s to meet, by specifying the
month of November. What the constluences of the
evacation of France are likti/y ffa, be, pi far:as,eon-
emus the temper and feeling of ita, nation, Wt4l-in-
formed and impartial men N., 914 pretty gelierally in
sentiment. The continuance of the army within the
frontier must hart. done incalculable mischief, if it were
not productive of evident and extensive good—that is
to s,ly, that if it did not actually keep down the spirit
of i:o:urreetion against their Government, and of ag-
gres,ian against foreign Powers, among the French
people. That burl a spirit does not now (we cannot
say exist at present in France, but) pre‘ail throughout
the body of the nation, every thing conspires to indi-
cate. The Ministers of Louis XVIII., the fbreign
Ambassadors at Paris, the Duke of Wellington him-
have had ample means of judging whether the
King's Government has established itself sufficiently
to maintain itself for the present without foreign as-
sistance. His Grace, we have been told, has long since
expressed himself as if he thought that the House of
Bourbon, and its foreign Allies, would gain in moral
influence and popularity with Frenchtnen, more than
they mold lose in their military position, by the re-
moval of the army from the fronstier. Of this we
suspect there can b 3 little doubt—that the A,fied
troops were to have been retained in against
the voice, and in contempt of the wishes, of the people,
the Tiantity of exasperation must augrittla from hour
to hour ; and as the army prolonged its stay, it must in
self-defence rei:lforce its nnmbers: so as to bold out to
Furope a prospect which, from the very nature of
things, must end in some terrible convulsion. The
great measure now resolved upon, we thence conclude,
may have prevented evil, but cannot creatnit.

ELEGANT COMPLIMENT'.—Nis Grace the Duke of
IVellingten sent in the morning of the ipth ult. one
of the Russian Aides-de-Canqi to inquire what time it
would be most convenient for his Mijestv the Emperor
of Russia to receive his homage ; the Emperor, with-
out returning a direct, answer to the ►uessa;,,e, privately
descended t!:e staircase, and ordering his carriage to 1e

him, and to anticipate HU offer of "respect by etniferting
