THE STATESKOL

A Dutch Mail arrived this forenoon ; and we butt
night received German Gazettes of considerable ions
portance. It is not a little curious that the first spe-
cific account of the contents of the secondary Con-
verifier's, ann:.:ed to the principal Treaty of Peace
between France and the Allies, should reach us by
so circuitous a route as Bremea. Such, however, is
the ctse. The Reader will perceive' by the State
Papers which we quote from the Bremen Gazette
the nature of these Conventions. They are evi:
dently such as France cannot long keep, and
the Allies must have int-mile trouble in enforcing.—

availed himself of the privilege which the Chamber
bad given him of making objections, by demanding
that a special law shall be passed to regulate the pro-
ceedings against him. This proposition had been be-
fore made by some Members. If the Chamber shall
determine to comply with this proposal, a consider-
able delay may take place. The Chamber, however,,
is already denominated a Court—the Court of Nets.

fin several wards very old men, some of whom had
I been in the army many years, and had endnred great

watchmen, being men that can be depended upon,
and not slumbering on their duty. Out of the num.
ber examined, the I.eittn MAyott does not think
