pal:Ali-Mimi another Right illacrast, approving a declara-
tion, of which a copy II givuti, signed by the Ambas-
sador of the-Netherlands -at Stockholm and by the
SwFdisb Minister of Foreign Affairs, by which the two
Powers agree to deliver up any sailor or other person
whatever, belonging to the crew of a man of war, who
shall desert in a port belonging to either of the con-
tracting panties. They even bind themselves to deliver
up such seamen as shall run away From a merchantman;
and in both cases, it makes no difference whether the
seaman is a native of the country to which the vessel
belottigkide of any other. To avoid theloss of time, which
a dijilpaintic correspondence may cause, it is only neces-
sary to make application to the chief local authorities,
within whose jurisdiction the desertion takes place, and
these authorities are enjoined to at tend to it. This arrange-
Melt; perhaps, deserves the consideration of our own
Government, particularly as the evil against which it is
direck,revails in our own service to a much greater
extent than ioc any other-1f which, 'too, "there cannot
be a better proof than the present mode of manning the
Atinghicimislaey. Ttte subject, as we ssidbefore, it entitled •
to the serious attention of his MAJesres GovernMent.

The Gazette de. France, which reached us last night
with the other Paris Papers, ilechtte, the treaty between
England and France for• the evacuation of the Penin-
sula, of which we gave the substance yesterday. to be
apocryphal. Notivithstanding this peremptory de-
cla•ation, we ate inclined to suspect, that the parti•
cal its we gave in our last, will prove correct, and
that they constitute the outline of an arrangement,
which wants only the concurrence of the Spanish Lio-
vetnnaent, to be carried into effect. osr suspicions are
certainly borne out by a statement made by Viscount
DUDLEY and WARD towards the close of last. Session,
and they agree it must be allowed, with the spirit, in
which, happily for our own interests and honour, as well
as for the interest, of the rest of the world, our foreign
intercourse is carried on at this time. It is !mainly an
an4ntaly in the foe eign policy of England that a French
army should hold military possession of the chief places
or strength, as well as of the principal potts of Spain,
whilst it is another irregularity. escuseable only on
account of its urgency, to maintain a British {wee
in Portugal in time of peace. As the enlightened
'men who .dow direct our Councils must be anxious
to see both these anomalies cease, we do not place that
reliance on the isositive statement of the Gazette de
France, which it usually claim: at a right on account of
its semi official character.
There is no other intelligence in they Papers worthy
paiticular notice.'

We have received New York Papers to the 23J, and
Washington to the 22d ult. but their contents are devoid
orinterest, with • the exception, perliaps,'of an article
(ulna Lima) of 20th Feb. which represents everything in
that city and there,' of Peru as perfectly tranquil at that
date. It was supposed that Bolivia (Upper Peru) wool'
follow thee:ample of Peru, in rejecting the constitution.
drawn up by Gen. BoLirmt, in which case, it will pro.
bably re-change its name with its pnlkiciil institutions.

any thing to* fear from them. On th,x contrary, b)
agitating the public mind, they are likely to benefit
both ; and the fermentw ion. which now exists in that
part of the world, will prove most salutary in the end.
The Congress of Peru was to meet on the Ist of May
for the purpose of drawing up a new Constitution.

In the evedng their Royal Highnesses gave a splendid

pffiters in the Navy, Army, &c. For this occasion the
Meteor steam vessel was ladled ro %side the yacht, to.
the level*of which she was raised by a false d ck, and
firitli which she communicied by A platform, inclosed,
vented, aed carpeted, (calming a convenient. safe, and
elegant passage. The decks of both vessels were
coveted with an awning, extenditig nearly the entire
length of the vessel, and composed of the Stand-
Ard and various f figs of England, and several other
nations; those 'most friendly to the country being'
Placid in the most conspicuous situations. The effect
of this c' aracteti,tic awning was striking and pleasing
in the highest degree, the appearance being beauti-
fully gay, and at the same time in perfect keeping
with the place and with the profession of the illus-
trious host, as well as that of most of.the guests.—
At convenient intervals were su,pended large blanches
with wax candles, which diffused abundant light, and
displayed to great advanta,te the gay colouring and
•artous devices of the awning. The raised deck at
the steamer was tastefully chalked, and the masts and
other parts were decorated with evergreens. At each
end was a splendid canopy of silk fl igs, benerh which
were placed sofas for the RoYal Host and Hostess,
and in other places were seats for the accommodation
of tfie guestl. At the lower end of OW which we may
designate the ball-room, were two 'elegant orchestras,
hung with flags and adorned with eve gle.in.
