this horrible appearance, had reason to fear seeing
Lerself once more subdued by soldiers whom the
same delusion led away, and who seemed animated
by the sante enthusiasm, a common inteiest of
Preservation, instantaneously concso traced on the
lame object all the fears, ail the hatred, all the
interests of the alarmed nations. The rivalry of
Politics was forgotten, all the products df

been offered in sacrifice, all ilges and sexes, all

the same impulse, and more than a Million of
soldiers precipitated themselves upon our fron-

I am going Gentlemen to read to you the two

the 4th Article of the principal Treaty ; and the
other determineS the lot in audmmler of the exe,

Here the Minister read the Convention No. 11,
and 111. the text of which follow s,

N. 13. These are the two Conventions already
published from the German papers.

(After this reading, the ►linister continued)—

After - long and continued discussions, in
which demands still more exorbitant had been
produced to us, and at Itngth withdrawn, these
which have been commanticated to yens, have been
presented to us as an ultiniaturn, and the most
urgent and imperious considerations have imoOsed
it. on us as a law, to subscribe to them. `hese
demands are eerzninty the most burdensome, the
hardest, the roost painfiti part of the stipulations
that we have had to discuss, and it is enough to
know tioat they have been proposed to Frenchmen,
to be justified in the conclusion, that indispensa-
ble necessity alone could induce them to subscribe
to them. But if, after the example of the King,
mimes we heard, Gentlemen, as the opinions of
your Session, with that love of frankness and good-
ness which in the most striking features of his noble
character express to you theprotound affliction with
Witteh his heart is penetrated, if I say we may be
pert'ni.tted.to git e an account before you, and in the
face-of &trope; ;of the impressions which we may
have leis, I wii; say that, arrived at this Clp itA of
t he negociation, themoststorrny that ever exercised'
the real, and tried the devotion of the servants
of au unhappy King, after having exhausted all
the means of discussion and resistance which
could be suggested- by reason, and by that politi-
cal foresight, which in good as well as in baafor-
tnne ought to be the constant guide of the
conduct of Cabinets, seeing ~on the one, part
in • the,, tlispositiOna of • the Minister's of the
Poweis'atietermitunion irrevocably fixed, may, on
the otherhand, that the present crisis, brought
incessanatt, into action in• the whole extent of
France,i,the principle of an oppression, of an im-
poverishment, of an irritation,•and, in short-, a
series of devastations which seemed daily to increase
and to acquire new strength, we judged, rust if we
suffered this crisis to be indefinitely prolonged,
the fate of France was at stake; even the fate of
those Who have imposed upon us such great sa-
crifices, and perhaps the destiny.of social order
i n Europe.
'‘‘ And it is in the prospect of so many dangers
that, sacrificing without hesitation all our repug-
trances, we have .acceptetL in the name of the
King, in the name of the Country, the conditions
which have been laid before you."
The Minister, on ending his discourse, observed
for the information of the Chamber, that there is
no secret condition accessary to those: which he
had just communicated. ,

CovENr-GARDEN.,--- A whimsical farce was
brought forth last night at this Theatre, tinder the
title of What's a Man of Fashion The plot de-
pends upon the,will at a deceased Gentleinan,, by
which his daughter (Miss M,s-rtrEws), is :eft
under the guardianship. of her aunt, Mrs. Strait-
Lice (Mrs. DAvEsiroaT). and she is to forfeit tier
whole tontine, viz. 40,0001. unless she Marries
within. a year after his death, a Man-of Fashion.
—The aunt plots with'a vile attorney, Pouncely
(Tor.e.LY),. and confines her niece, hoping that
the year swill expirc,,and that she shall get pos-
session oldie fortune; of which a great portion is to
he al:otted to Pouncely.' By the fortunate arrival of
AdmiralProject(FAWCETT),ollthe spot, t he schemes
of this iniquitous pair are defeated, as he coin rivet
that his nephew, 'Young Project (JONES), who ap-
pears by his e.itravaganee and dissipation t o bc a true
Mon of Fashion, according to the mailer!' desig-
nation, shall accomplish a marriage with the
•young Lady, just before the striking of the clock
skews that the year has expired. Such is the. out-
line of the plot, which is hastened and. retarded by
several ludicrous situations. The author of the
piece is unknown. It possesses no great dramatic
pretensions, but it is very entertaining, and ''as
altogether, very well sustained by the Performers
and received by the audience. It has the recom-
mendation 'Of a spirited Hunting Overture, and
some pleasing songs composed by Mr. CONDELL,
Wiwi! as contrived,-in a 'Trio, to introduce three
old popular. airs. The piepe was the first of the
dramas represented last night, and-was followed
by Cynton aud-Bombustes Furioso, The house was'
crowded, and the opposition to the new farce was
confined to two or three individuals at most, but
warmly supported by the audience in general.
Yesterday evening, about eight o'clock, a fe-
male . apparent respectability, walking over
Illackfriars Bridge, suddenly mounted the balltis-
trrles,
engagedaniii"luitged herself into the river. Two
youths,
at the moment in pushing, off a
boat, observed the circumstance, and made to
the place where the body tiad sunk, and after the
'most praiseworthy exertions, raised her from the
water, and brought her on shore. She was then
conveyed to the Glaziers' Arms, Water-lane. where
a ,entletran from the Humane Society, attended by
Messrs. Hicks and Kerr, physicians, effected a com,
plete resuscitation, and in about two hours she was'
enabled to render-some account of her own situa-
tion, and the causes which led to the commission
of the dreadful act. She stated that her name was
N—, that she hat! been.some time separated from
her. husband, anti that having called at his house,
in the neighbourhood of Somers Town,, on Satur-
day evening last, she was'accused of riot and dis-
turbance, and given in custody. She renrainMju the
watch-house until yesterday morning, when she was
brought before the officers of Uattou Garden
Police Office, where the presiding 7.Alogistrate,
however, dismissed the charge, and the-tinfor,
tunate woman was ordered, a certain allowt.tice

as on.account of her separation

of the. Pptiiie• Miokters. •

Uhe.,llbrunivation,s that attracted :he chief no.
Tice were'those at-the West. end of the town, and
towards i.!stu'tirister,;_•tlie public offices, &e. The
displ.iyed. no iwilharicy, that of Drury-

p;.e Crown, with the initials aluis Majesty. .6So-
merset-house was in-a blaze of and reflected
oil the opposite windows a glow like that of the
setting sun, fes,tonns 'of lamps, surroupded the
:arches of the piazzas, anti formed so many con-
tinued lines of light. At the•base of the pillars
above the arches, the words " Europe in Peace,
and England in Glory," formed a range of varie,.
gated letters ,fronrone end of the building to the
other. This legend was :surmounted with the
royal crown, the initials of his Majesty and the.
Prince Regent, -i»termixe,d with olive. Carlton.-
house was illuminated merely with torches. The
Admiralty and the I.lOrse. Guards were elegantly
illuminated, hut had nothing peculiar in their' de-
vices; The Treasury and Dowubv-street made.
the greatest display. On the front of the.forme.r
building were exposed trarisparences representing
the arms of Great Britain between those of Austria,
Prussia,Russia, and Belgium, and below the legend
"La Belle Alliance," with a profusion of olives stir,:
youmling the whole. The Foreign Office, as might.
have been expected,. attracted particular notice;
it was decorated with four lines of lamps, placed
above each other, the first fuirming, the. letters
" November xx. 1815," the second " the Peace.
of. Europe," the third and fourth crowns and ini-
tials of the Prince Regent and the Fling.-1:4
Pat liament house was not illuminated.—The re 4•
of the Public-offices had nothing, but common
emblems and. devices; the Admiralty retaining its
anchor, and all the rest their crowns and initials.
As the illtimination was not general, and conse-
quently no emuLtion excited, there were few shops
or private houses that deserved attention. The trans -
parencyoyer the shop of Ackermann, in the Strand,
attracted the greatest crowd, end appeared to us
the most deserving of notice, both for the ingenuity
of its device, and the correctne:‘s of its execution.
The Opera-house had a few lamps suspended over
the arches of the different doors of admission. It
exhibited likewise, a star, and a transparency,
bitt neither of them were very brilliant. The little
Theatre :was. nowise remarkable. The French
AmbassuMor's house was elegantly
but without any-device or peculiar ornainent.
On one sidc..the. word '6 Peace" was
:displayed
in large and brilliaiciletters surrounded by tes-
coons of Lit-tips.' On the other was described the
single character P,' surmounted by crown,
and supported by tl‘o stars,' xi:hose variegated
rays- agreeably contrasted with the verdant olive
branches that half encircled them. The Spanish
Ambassador had the word " Peace,'' crowned
with a star, and placed above an olive yanch.
In the eastern (palter of the metropolis, the por-
tico of the li..ust India Molise was illuminated iii
much the same way as We have seen it on kOrmer
occasions ; the .co!umns being ornalpented with
wreaths of lamps. The front of the Bank pre-
sented a display that was at o,nte;brilliant and
pleasing. The nature of the building admitting
of great regularity and variety in the position.of
,the lamps, which lined the various compartments
in the front ; the whole had an extremely fine ef-
fect In the centre were the letters "G. R.*"
separated by a brilliant -star,,.and the whole was
surmounted by the word "'Peace," in large ca-
pitals. The Excise °ince, in.l3road-street, was
ornamented With. a profusion of variegated lamps.
Here also the word " Peace " was displayed in
large capitalSi'and the whole sormounted by an
intnteiise croWtil
The Ma.nsion House was illuminated as usual.
Butt what lucre attracted chief notice was a trans-
parencv,'representing the genius of Peace, to
whoin an altar was erected. Underneath were the
following lines :

-n-leelr eyed Peace : thon maid of heavenly race,
'ln Freedom's Isle thy lung sought.olive place:
For thou alone can'st the poor man's woes,
And art the source whence all his comfort Bows.
