by the fair and equitable ratio of the price of provisions."

One of the Paris Papers contradicts the fact of

- Private accounts represent the French capital
to be the seat of endless intrigue, and it is not
eiithout great surprise that several of the most co-
torious adherents of the late Tyrant have recently
been seen to arrive there, and even to be received
With distinction.

As the Negociation branches out into detail,
difficulties of• various kinds must be expected to
arise. It•is said, and we cannot be surprised at
it, that M. TALLEYRAND has started many objec-
tions against the introduction of English manu-
factures on the footing of the Treaty of 17Sti.—
All reasonable niodifications ought to be acceded
to on our part. It would not be a wise policy in
us to hold up Lours XVIII. to his people as a
Sovereign • incapable of maintaining their just
rights. an the other baud, as we are rich iu
conquests, the restitution of which France must
owe solely to our liberality, we have both the
right and the power to-insist on her doing justice
in return:- We ought not to cede an inch of ter-
ritory to her, until she has agreed to an equitable
Commercial Treaty ; to a reduction of her Army
within limits which would leave us nothing to fear
for- the peace of Europe; and, lastly, to an aban-
donment of the Slave Trade.— (Times.)

Mr. QUARANTOTTI'S REScHIPT.--From the Du-
blin papers it would appear, that this famous do-
cument has produced an effect the very reverse of
conciliation in Ireland. The Evening Post, as
evidence of this feeling, states, that on Sunday
se'nnight,.-a placard, containing these words, "No
Congregation for Vetoist Priests," was posted.at
the chapel doors of certain Gentlemen, supposed
to be secret favourites of the Veto, and that the
chapels were in consequence almost deserted.
The titular Catholic Bishop of Daomoae, in a
letter to Dr. POYNTER, to whom the Rescript
was first addressed, thus speaks of it :—" Why
would Monsieur QUARANTOTTI disturb the har-
mony of the great and respectable Irish Catholic
Body, by forcing upon them an unnecessary Re-
scrip;, which they detest beyond any thing you
can possibly conceive ? It is, in its consequences,
mischievous, as it places our hierarchy in a very
zmkward situation. If they do not agree to the
Rescript, the Government %rill mike new objec-
tions to them, which it could not have made be-
fore if they agree to it, they will lose the Con-
fidence of the people."
