COPT OF THE NOTE OP 11. THE DUKE OF RICHELIEU,
IN ANSWER TO THAT 07 THE PLENIPOTENTIARIES
OF THE COURTS OF AUSTRIA, OP GREAT BRITAIN,
PRUS4IA, AND OF RUSSIA.
" The undersigned', Minister and Secretary of
itate•to4is Most Christian Majesty, has received the
commettication which their Escelletscies the Mi-
nisters of the. Cabinets of Austria, of Great Britain,
qf. Prussia, and .of Rawls, did him the honour of ad.
dressing to him ou the 4th of this month, by order
of their august Sovereigns. lie hastened to snake it
k:tsown to the King his muster. His Majesty has re-
ceieed with real satisfaction, this new proof of the
confidence and friendship of the Sovereigns who hate
taken part in the deliberations at Aix-le-Chapekle.
The justice which they render to his constant cares for
the happiness of France, and above all to the loyalty
of his People, has deeply touched his heart. Looking
back to the past, and observing that at no other
'prim), no other nation- has been able to fulfil
with a snore scrupulous fidelity, engagements such as
France had contracted, the King has felt, that it
was indebted, for this new kind of glory, to the in.
teener, of, the institutions which governs it; and he
sees with joy, that the consolidation of these institu-
tions is considered by his 'squat Allies to be no less
adventsgeous to the repose of &scope, than essen.
ti,l to the prosperity of France. Considering
that the first of his duties is to endeavour to per-
pante and augmeut, by all the means in his power,
the benefits which the complete reestablishment of
general peace promises to all stations ; persuaded that
the intimate union of Governments is the surest pledge
of its duration; and that France, which could not re-
main a stranger to a eyeless, the whole force of which
must spring from a perfect unanimity of principle and
action, will join the association with her characteristic
frankness; and that her concurrence mast add
strength to the well-founded hops of the happy re.
volts which such an alliance .must produce for the
benefit of mankind, hie Most Christian Majesty most.
readily sssen(s to the proposal made to him of uniting
Me councils end his efforts with those of their Ma-
jesties the Emperor of Austria, the King of Greatsodßritain, the King of Prussia, sod the Emperor of all
the Itussias, for the purpose of accomplishing the
salutary work which they have in view. He has,
therefore, authorized the undersigned to take part in
all the deliherations of their Mi•listers and Pleuipo-
sentiaries, for the object of consolidating the peace,
of securing the maintenance of the Treaties on which
It rests, and of guaranteeing the mutual rights and
relations established by these same Treaties, and re-
cognised by all the States of Europe.
44 The undersigned, while he begs their Excel-
lencies to have the goodness to transmit to their au-
gust Sovereigns, the expression of the intentions and
sentiments of tee his master, has the honour of
offering theat the as.otaoce of Pis highest coo-
sideratiou.

We have received further American Papers, reach="
ing in date to the 30th ult.' The following extracts.
comprise the most interesting parts of their con.
tents :

The trial and execution of Arbuthnot and Am-
blister la Florida, continue to engross public atten-
tion its Europe and America. We learn, that the
whole proceedings on the fritl hare been transmitted
to the Secretory of War, and copies of them sent to
other Members of the Cabinet, and that there does
not appear a doubt, in the minds of those who have
read them, of the correctness of the sentence of the
Court-Martial. It is not probable that they will be
publicly promulgated until the MeeNog of Congress,
on the 10th of November ensuing. It is said that
Ambrister acknowledged to the Court, that be had
been in arms with the Indians ; but justified his con-
duct on the ground of having married an Indian
woman, and having children by her, whom it was
his duty to defend : that he acknowledged the fair-
ness of his trial, and thanked the Court for their
kindness to him : and died like a soldier. It is also
said, that Arbuthnot's letters confirm hi 3 connection
with the hostile Indians.—(lloston cent.)

On the authority of the Franklin (Ken.) Argus,
of the 9th lost. in a long and able political article,
elocidatory of the cotiite lately pirsued by Mr. Clay,
in relation to the South Ametican question, it is as.
serted—

" At the approaching looks of _Congress, we
have no donbt that this Gentleman (Mr. Clay)nmithe

we deem nest to official, that cur differences with the
Court of Madrid are settled. The Florida. are ours,
sod oar Government is to pay the American claims
against Spain.—(New York Evening Post, Oct. 26.)
The remarks upon the above are, that they are
not at present in possession, but that they will even-

Ntw You:, OCTOBER 21.-A passenger in the
schooner Gazette, from Rio Janeiro, informs, that
no political events of consequeoce had recently oc-
curredtt that place. The Portuguese remained firm
in their determination to hold possession of the pro-
vince. Atria the middle of June the troops had
marched against Artigas, who retreated about 300
miles into the interior, it being his policy to avoid
an action. The news of the capture of Pensacola
had reached Rio Janeiro.

" The Convention of the 9th of October, which
definitively regulated the execution of the engagements
agreed to iu the Treaty of Peace of November W,
1815, is considered by the Sovereigns who concurred
therein, as the accomplishment of the work of peace,
and as the completion of the political system destined
to ensure its solidity.
66 The intimate union established among the Mo-
narchs, who are joint parties to this system, by their
own principles, no less than by the interests of their
People, offers to Europe the most sacred pledge of
Its future tranquillity.
' 66 The object of this union is as simple as it is greet
end salutary. It does not tend to any new political
combination—to any change in the relations sanction.

proceedings, it has no other object than the main.

Paris Papers to the 22d instant• have arrived.—
, The Funds have experienced a slight rise horn their
late depression. The Five per Cents, left off ou
Friday at 1591 f. It is asserted, that of the variety
yoang men who had been hitherto brought before
the Tribunal of Correctioaal Police for having, dur.
ing the ballot at the Hotel de Ville, displayed tri-
coloared ribands, only one has been convicted.—
This individual, it appears, was more guilty than the
others, for they were the ribands simply drawn
round their hats, while he more presumptuously had
the ribands formed into a cockade! Tnie frivoloes
distinction merely shows the embarrassment of the
Court, which did not feel it to be the interest of the
teetered Dynasty to punish all the transgressors,
whilst they were, no doubt, impressed with tire ne.
amity of making some example, in order to repress
these symptoms of disaffection. The Duke of Apr.
