PARIS, MAY I6.—Prince Berthier, in quality'of
Captain of the Body Guards on service, yester-
day gave his arm to his Majesty in descending the
steps of his apartment to go to chapel.
Peace was not signed yesterday as asserted ;
but we have every reason to believe that is is far
advanced : the bases are agreed upon, and the
chief conditions of the Treaty remain no longer
a mystery. They are all honourable for France.
A Peace of this nature could alone be solid, and
will not fail to add to the obligations which we
owe to the Allied Sovereigns. We do not fear
to say, that this Peace, so long desired, and the
circumstances which have accompanied the nego-
ciatious, will canter on our august MOnarch a
new title to the love of his faithful subjects.—
(Gazette de France, May 17.)
It is affirmed, that, according to the ordinance
for the organization of the army, promulgated by
his Majesty, the number of troops of all the ar-

CIRCULAR OF THE COMMISSIONER OF THE PROVI-

SIONAL GOVERNMENT, INTRUSTED WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF THE FINANCES, RESPECTING
THE REGULATIONS CONCERNING THE IMPORTA-

TION OF FOREIGN AIERCHANDIZE, TO TUE PRE-

FACT OF THE SEINE.

"M. LE PREFECT—I am informed that false
notions respecting certain, measures of Govern-
ment have alarmed the cotton-manufacturers, and
the numerous workmen in their employ. I am
therefore anxious to pacify them through your
means.

" A Decree of July 25, 1810, forbade all ves-
sels, not furnished with licenses or specially au-
thorised, to enter or quit our ports. The con-
tinuance of this prohibition wa3 incompatible
with the present state of our political relations,
and on the first acts of Monsieur, the Lieu-
tenant-GM/Val pf the kingdom, was to put an
end to it.

" But his Royal Highness, in ordering that
all French or foreign vessels might freely enter
and depart from the ports of France, if they con-
formed to the Custom-house regulatious, intended

that their cargoes should be so. —0 or e

" Accordingly the Administration of the Cus-
toms has expressly enjoined its Officers to adwit
such articles only as are permitted to be imported.
its instructions, indeed, directed, that if, among
the cargoes, there should be prohibited niercl:an-
dize, which shall have been deelcrredfcir, they should
merely be detained in the warehouses till their
re-exportation ; but this disposition results ex'
pressly from the general laws of the Custows---'
goods presented for importation, agreeably tc!
those very laws, being not liable to seizure, oalel
they be omitted in the declaration, or declared
under false denominations. Ad-
