POLITICAL I)ISQU ISITION.

ON THE WITHDRAWING THE ARMY OF OCCUPA-
TION FICOM THE FRENCH TERRITORIES.

The important news of the Congress at Aix la-Chn-
piolle having• agreed to the evacuation of France by the
Allied Troops, has been received since our last. This
cotemanication was made by the following letter :

Aix-la-Chapelle, Oct. 3.

" I use the utmost dispatch in informing you, that the
most important of the business of the Congress is al-
ready terminved. Yesterday at noon, and at the end
of the Fifth Conference, the Evacuation of France by
the Allied troops was agreed upon—Count Caraman,
the Ambassador of France at Vienna, was the bearer of
this important and pleasing intelligence to his Sove-
reign. Though I beard the news at an early hour
this morning, could not obtain any details, or even
learn the foundation on which it rested, until now ; and
was unwilling to agitate the English public by vague
rumours. The shortness of the time may plead my
apology for sending you at present only a few particu-
lars. The Act, or Convention for the evacuation of
France is not yet biped, but the following statement
may be relied upon :—The Allied Troops are to leave
France in the course of the present month, or early in
the begineing of next, at such intervals and by buck
routes us may be a:terwards determined to be most
convenient tin' all parties. The Allied Powers are per-
fectly satisfied with the present state of France, and the
securities Whist she etfers, in her internal condition,
for the pre•ervatlon of the general traninillity. They
arc likewise satialied with the proposed guarantees for
the payment of the contributions. These contributions
arc all to be discharged in the course of nine months
from the signature of the treaty. The first instalment
is to be 25 per cent. upon the whole sum ; and the re-
mainder is to be paid by equal instalments at the end of
every two month:. The first payment of 25 pee cent.
will take place on the 26th of December of the present
year The house of Baring and Co., supported by
their friends of the other banking houses of Europe, is
the security. Mr. Baring was yesterday called to a
oonferenoe, and presented satisfactory guarantees. Thu
distribution of the sums to be contributed I have not
yet been able to ascertain, hut the following are the
portions allotted to the greater powers :—lttissia will
eive 48 millions of francs, England 48 millions, Aus-
tria about 40 millions, Prussia about 4Tuailliens, the
Netherlands 22 millions, and Bavaria 10
The remainder will be divided among the other States,
in proportion to their magnitude, their sacrifice's,. or
exertions in the common cause. The details only of the
great measure now remain to be fixed : antnf thisame
frankness and good faith preside over the counsels&
of the Allied Ministiirs which have hitherto guided •
them, these cannot occupy a long time. Accordingly
the Duke of Richelieu expects to be able to return to
Paris by the 15Iii lust. The Emperor of Russia and
Xing of Prussia will proceed in the course of a fortnight
from Aix-la.-Charge,- to review their troops at Mau-
berge and Sedan. The firmer has given up his inten-
tion of visiting Paris till his army is on its way out of
France. The Emperor of Austria returns about the
smile time (that is, the 15th Mee) to Vienna ; so that
this asiembly of Monarehs. this represeatative Majesty
of Europe, will have termini:tied i s fifteen days a 'easi-
ness which has engaged speenlatien and esci:ed auxietv
