TREATY BETWEEN ENGLAND, RUSSIA, PRWISI4, &ND
AUSTRI

Wo find in the German Papers a Treaty of Alliance, signed on Ott
Ist of March, 1814. at Chintmout, in Champagne, between their Ma.
jesties the Emperors of Russia and Austria, and the Kings of Eng-
land awl Prussia. This Treaty, which is in seventeen articles, is 4
very curious one. It proves two things :—the first, that an obsti-
nate resistance would have involved us in greater evils—the second,
that the fall of Bnonaparte is a blessing to humanity, inasmuch as it
terminates the war. ThefollOwingcre some of the Arfieb.s :
" The high contracting Powers engage solemnly with each other
by the present treaty, and in case Prance should refuse to areede to
the conditions of peace proposed, to employ all the means of their
respective States in the vigorous pursiat of the present war against
her, and to employ them in perfect concert, in order to proem e for
themselves and for Europe-a general peace, under the protection of
which UN rights.and liberty of all elation:: may be established ai.d
ensured. The engagemput sha lh not prejudice the stipulation eincit
the respective States have already contracted relative to the moo,
her of troops to he kept in the field against the enemy ; and it is
well understood that the Courts of Austria, Russia, England, and
Prussia, engage, by the present treaty, to keep constantly in the
field fall 150,000 men each, without including the garri,ons, and to
employ them actively against the common enemy.
" To contribute in the speediest and most decisise teannr.r to•
wards this great abject, his Britannic Majesty engages to furni.th
sulisidy of five millions sterling, to be divided in cquil pat ts between
the three powers.
gi As the sienation of fire theatre of war, or ether cireamstahees,
may make it difficult for great Britain to send the succours stipp•
lated in English force its the time agreed open, and to keep up this
three on the war establishment. his Ittitannie Majesty rezerii.c.i to
himself the right of furnishing, to the power requie;ng, his contin-
gent in foreign troops in his pay, or to pay annually a suue -zul.
per man for infantry, and Sol. for cava'ry."
Buonaparte was acquainted with this treaty; awl yet would pc);
refrain from prosecuting jeis mad war,

134Ris, Apart; 25.--Monsi2ur received yesterday in the Lill if
the throne the Commissioners of the King, who are Apia to pro-
ceed to the flitlerent Provinces, and spoke to tbein its follows:
" Gentlemen, I have euttosttd to you au i;npoi volt mission, and
I have selected you it; such a manner, that Frecellmoi who Pouf
professed different opinions, should be equally aega3inteil
with the
state of France. Yon will inculcate in all persotis the necessity of
oblivion of the pest, mutual sacrifices, in tine, the franksiwiln of
wishes and of efforts to repair so many disasters. Carry hong L 9 the
people, and bring back truth to the King. Say eetry where, repeat
