40NDoiV, DECEMBER q,

WE this morning received Path Paler; to the
gar instant. The Proceedings of our own Parlia-
ment occupy nearly all the 'space which is not de-
dicated to the Report of the deliberations of the
French Legislative Body and Tribunate,—ln the.
former, I;CEDEREit presented on the zd inst. the
Ratifications given by the French Government and
the United States to the American Treaty, which
had previously undergone some moclificeions. The
Government of the United States had, •it appears,
added to that the Convention should
be in force for eight-years, and had omitted the
second Article. To this the Chief Consul had
assented,• stipulating, however, that the two Con-
tradiag Parties, notwithstanding the retrenchment
of the second Article, renounce tespeaively the pre-
•tensions which are the objet} of that Article. The
great subjeti, however, to which the attention of
the Legislative Body has been ditaled, is the. Civil
Code.

In the Tribunate on the 2d inst. Moßr Au deli-
vered a Short speech on the Bavarian Treaty.

these Papers, will be found an article not uninte-
resting to the Lovers of the Arts—the Proceedings

the Ribbon of the Order of the Bath on the :Bth

cession and Fete were to take place in the Gar-

,state, that the report con-
cerning Lord HOBART going to India, is entirely
without foundation.

An Article appeared in an Evening Paper last
tight, purporting to contain an accurate account of
The Peace Establishment of the Army. If that Esta-
blishment is already definitively fixed in all its
parts, which we do not positively know, we are
certain, that the Statement in the Paper alluded to
is erroneous in every respell. OUR Information
upon this Subje& will be from Authority, and till
that is communicated, we shall not attempt to mis-
lead by the affectation• of early Intelligence. The
Article we allude t 9, states the Peace Establishment
to be already fixed, as follows :

27 Regiments of Light Dragoons,
Ditto, Hussars.
lot Regiments of Infantry.
6 Ditto, Black Troops,
6o Companies of Invalids.

We happen to know, that the number of Regi-
ments of Light Dragoons upon the Peace 'Establish-
ment will not exceed 22 ; and we believe every
other part of the information in the above Article,
to be equally erroneous.
The article contained in the Morn;gg Post of last
Saturday, which asserts that 't Ministers grant
Passports to France to almost every one who asks
them," we have authority for saying is as erro-
neous, as .that the charge for obtaining them is
about twenty-five shillings." Passports and Li-
censes, granted under the Alien and Traitorous Cor.
respondence Ads, not being subjed to any charge
whatsoever,
