• On Monday, immediately after the dispatches'
brought by Mr. BAKER from Ghent, had been com-
municated to the Pastiest RESENT, a Messenger was
soot off to that place with a commuskation to the;
Commissioners, that the Treaty would be ratified
his Royal Highness.
Yesterday the Treaty, having been ratified in due
form, was sent off to Portsmouth to be transmitted
with all possible speed to Washington, for the ratifica-
tion of Mr. Manz/mi.
The Gazette of last night confines itself to the'
simple mention of the signing of the Treaty, without
taking' notice at all of the terms i nor will they be
stated in a direct official form till after k shall hays

According to the American speculators, there is
no doubt whatever that the 'Treaty will be duly ra-
tified as soon as received : and it must be allowed,
that on such a topic their opinion deserves some
sight; for it is well known that certain people con-
nected with the American
.Coin9o44l‘.,:have had
every facility afforded them to. tarn this.;ffair to their
own advantage. • So much for the .secrecy and ho-
nourable confidence with which all intercourse with
the Agents of MADISO,I are. conducted.
If any one can doubt this betraying of state secrets,
for the benefit of private individaals,-after witnessing
the mercantile speculations that have for some weeks
been carrying on in our public Funds, and on the
Royal exchange, let them be informed that the same
*mini has been carrying on close/here to a consider,.
able extent. In confirmation of this we lay before
our Readers the following letter :

mmer: the Allietican and British Plenipotentiaries,

long negooiated by Horn and COmpaay, the Bankers
het*, and which had been so low as 73 four months
ago.' have suddenly risen to 88, a price which they
have not before*attained ever since the Americans de-
elated war.".
T esh it be thus rendered manifest that there are
penile who hesitate not to convert national business
into a mean of private emolument, let as hope that
this mercantile spirit will not be allowed to operate

To-day we received Paris -Palms of Sunday fast,
and we subjoin the most prominent articles of intelli-
gence which they convey : there is as appearance of
an immediate termination so the sittings of the Con-
gress. Nothing like a rupture, however, is to be ex-
pected from the mild and conciliatory temper in which
their discussions seem to be conducted.

An article from Parma attacks the Treaty of Fon-
tainebleau, and denies that the contracting parties had
any right to transfer that Principality to any person
e4nnected with BONAPARTE, so leng as the legitimate
Sereign, or his representative, is in existence.
—The only ground on which MAMA LOUISA can be
received, it seems, is founded on the protection which
may be expected in that Court from' Austria. Of the
right which B )NAPARTIC has to Elba, according to
the same article, there cannot be a doubt ; the Allies
had an equal right to transfer to him the Islands of
Great Britain and Ireland. The perusal.of the above
and many 'similar articles in the Contlgentariournals,
furnishes ample conviction that the day is not far dis-
tant, when BONAPARTE, and all his family and an-
nation:, will undergo some still farther degradations,
Louts, the Ex-King of Holland, is the only indivi-
dual in the whole groupe who has had the good sense
to discovet• that the " post of honour is a private
station."

The Afoniteur contains the proceedings of the Cham-
ber of Deputies on the case of General ENcia..alAss.
This worthy soldier of goONAPAIITeS School hai, it
seems, offered his services to King Mow, while at
the instant himself and his children were eating the
bread of the French nation. For this offence, which
under his old master, BONAPARTE, be would 'have
subjected himself to have been shot* he yes merely
reprimanded; but having persevered in hiasraitorous
conduct, he was at length arrested, .his papers pot
under seal, and finally ordered to retire upon tralf-piy
to his legitimate domicile. In a petition to the Cham-
ber of Deputies, this hopeful candidate for one of
MIMAT'S truncheons does not deny his crime ; but
n:t being able to tell the place of his birth, that is to say,
being i complete military adventurer, **rests
most lustily against quitting rads. quite
•
natural.

In the mean time, he petitions the Cliateheinf De.
puties, who very fairly and constitutionally tell
that having plenty of public busineit on their hands
already, they cannot take the command of the army
out of the hands of the Kinn, and therefore refer him
to the MINSTER of WAR; This is one of the many
' instances in witch the KING has shewn his forbear-
ance. and at the same time his determination to purge
the army of all improper characters. We presume,
therefore, that M. Excusians will be kept in confiriU-I
went. for the good of society, until he can produce a
certificate of his birth. MURAT has abundance of
Generals already : BACCRIOCHI, his brother-in-law,
for instance, can supply him with fifty even better
qualified than General Excrumans. Then the Arne-
ricaus can now supply him with a fita.t. and a Wu,-
EIRRON on an emergency.

1 PARIS, DECEMBER 25.
It is said that in all the confederate Provinces of
Germany, a particular order, the members of which
will assume the title of " Gismotier: of Irisdont,"
(IYeisheit Ritter:). This order is destined to recom-
pence learned men and authors, who, by their writings
and their influence over public• opinion, have contri-
' bated to the deliverance of Germany.
The. English Journals of the 20th are still awanting,
The King has given 100,000 francs out of his pri-
vate purse for the instruction of the indigent Duaf
and Dumb.
RAtiTADT, DECEMBER re.
The discussion of the affairs of Poland, which were
provisionally adjourned to the Congress of Vienna, had
not beedresumed at the departure of the last courier.
VIENNA, DECEMBER 14.•
The fortress of Mentz seems to stand an obstinate
siege, against the Congress at least ; several Powers
contend for it, and it is not yet known to whom it
will belong. Bavaria claims it, and it was long
thought she would be allowed to keep it ; but the
Paussiaa Ministers oppose it, or rather choose to do
so, in order to extort from her conditions, to which
she is unwilling to subscribe. Other Courts of Ger,
many demand that Mentz shall be declared a fortress
of the Germanic Confederation, and as such main-
tained by the troops of the Confederation :—this is
one of the difficulties of the Congress.
Austria and Prussia alone have hitherto presented
proposals to the Congress ; the other Powers seem to
be there only for the purpose of assenting or dissent-
ing. It is not astonishing therefore, that tunbr4ge
has been taken.
Much bus been said of a conciliatory note presented
on the 2Efth ult. by the Russian Minister to the other
, •- 1
Plenipotentiaries, abut its conteots are unknown, as
also their answer. It seems as if they awaited the
return of the Couriers from England and Paris with
the opinion of the respective French and Eyelid:

AUGUIVIGH, DECEMBER se.
From btadrtifura learn, that the King visits the
public places in disguise every night, in order to
sound the public opinion. But it is very difficult for
him to attain his object, for his own severe measures
prevent all persons from speaking their minds freely,
not only in public, but at their own ere-sides ; they
also complain that robberies increase in the capital as
well as throughout the kingdom.

MADRID, DECEMBER 13.

Intelligence from America, which unhappily ap-
pears but too true, has spread here the greatest con.
sternation. The patriots and insurgents of Mexico
have united, and proclaimed with common consent
the political indepen: en .e of the northern of our Ame-
riCan possessions.

On the 9th instant, the birth-day of the Queen
Mother, there was a Gala at Court. The Ambassa-
dors and Foreign Ministers, GrAnclees of Spain, tided
persons, Members of Council, and Military Chiefs,
were present.

Our Gazette continues to be filled with Addresses
of felicitation, directed to his Majesty during the last'
month.

The King has conferred the rank of Marechal de
Camp on the Brigadier of his Armies, Don Juan
Martin, called the :Emperisado. We have already
made known the origin of this sirname, acquired
during the last war, and the nature of the military
exploits of M. Jean Martin, Chief of a Corps of Par..
tisans, who continually harassed the enemy in the,
province of Madrid:
We have been in vain expecting the arrival of the
Galloons from New gpsin, but this pleasing intelli-
gence has not been confirmed.
' In the mean time our double expedition to the
New World cannot sail.
Reports are in circulation which seem to have no
other foundation than the spirit of justice which cha-
racterises the King. It is said that a measure
of general reconciliation is in contemplation, by which
all parties will pass an indemnity. They say that the
Council of Castile has suggested this measure by the
express desire of his Majesty, and against that of
some of his present Ministers.
In the mean time, the property of the absentees is
still under sequestration. The amount of what has
been sold has been paid into the Public Treasury,
and those possessions which were unalienable in their
nature have been given to the next heir.
