LONDON, MARCH 31, 1532.

WE last night received Parts Journals of the
26th instant. A Moniteicr of the z7th, a Copy of
which was received in Town, contains the DEFI-
NITIVE/ TREATY OF PEACE, which, it appears,
was signed by the CHIEF CONSUL on the 25th inst.
but not by the Plenipotentiaries at Amiens till the,
z7th, as we have before stated. •It will be found
in our subsequent Columns.

Tuts morning the Homburgh Mail arrived in
course. It contains no new article of intelligence.
Prince FREDERICK of Hesse Darmstadt, brother
of the Dowager QUEEN of PRUSSIA, and of the
Dowager PRINCESS of BADEN, died at Hamburgh
on the 19th inst.

Nothing had been done towards forming a defini-
tive plan of Indemnities. It is. said that the GRAND
DUKE of Tus.CANy is to make a journey to Paris.
The A;CHDATKE CHARLES has declined the pro-
posal of the. Diet oc :latisbon to ere a Monument

The Messenger arrived at Windior, on Monday
about one o'cldek, with the news of Peace. hits
MAJESTY was: taking his ride in Windsor Great
Park. As soon as the news was made known) the
Band of the Staffordshire Militia marched through
the town, playing; and the lolls were set a ringing.
A number" of people followed the Band huzzaing.
The KING, QUEEN, and PRINCESSES, came to
. Town yesterday .from Windsor.
Perhaps no one day -in the Annals of this, or ofany
other Country, ever afforded more abundant and sub-
stantial causes 'of joy anti gratification, than the 29th
of March, on which were at once announced the ar-
rival ofa Definitive Treaty of Peace, the intended Re-
peal of the Income Ta,thc laudable determination of
'Parliament to discharge the arrears of the civil List,
and a considerable reduetion in the Price. of Grain.
On each of these subjects we shall probably think
it right to present our ..Readers with some observa-
tions. At present we shall content ourselves with
offering our thanks to Divine Providence for the
blessings which, at least, it has .afforded us the
prospect of enjoying, and which we hope a
grateful People will endeavour to deserve, by
a becoming reliance on, and.. gratitude to that
Superintending Power, which has hitherto pro-
meted us under a long series of complicated and
formidable diffichlties, from which we seem to be
gradually emerging, by an increased devotion to a
Monarch who has on all occasions proved him-
self the Friend and Father of his. People, and by, an
uniform obedience to those Laws, and attachment
to that Constitution, which by their happy com-
bination of spirit and liberality, of energy and
freedom, have afforded to wise Rulers, the .means
of surmounting the united dangers of Foreign Force
and Internal Convulsion.
WESTMINSTER ME ETI !IC.— Yesterday a Meet-
ing took place in New Palace Yard, of certain in-
habitants of Westminster, for the purpose of pro'. ,
curing a Repeal of the Incothe Tax. Though by
the intimation of the Minister in the House of
Commons on Monday niglit, the purpose of this
Meeting was completely frustrated, the independ.
art Gentlemen '(viZ. Mr. WISH ART the Snzffman,
Mr. WEST the Mustezrdman, and some others of
equal respeetability,) resolved upon speechifying ;
and the aforesaid Mr. WISHART, who in oratory,
affeds to be the rival of the renowned Mr. Ron-
soN, was called to the Chair. In this situation' he
thought necessary to throw some democratic snuf
into the People's eyes, which set several a coughing
and sneezing. . Some Resolutions were proposed by
the Chairman relative to the Repeal ,of the Income
Tax, which were supported by the aforesaid Mr.
WEST, in the same style of elegant °raid?), used by
Mr. WISHART and Mr. ROBSON.

Mr. Fox attended the Meeting, and indulged
himself in a Philippic against the Tax, and insinu-
ated something respecting his firmness in his seat
for Westminster. We have no doubt of his having
the support of the Movers of the Meeting of yester-
day, who may amount to some twenty or a hundred
men, ‘vhose'support
