THE STATOSMAN.

LONDON:

The AMA Sovereigns lutting confided to Marshril
the Duke of Wellington the commend in chief of tho.e
of their troops, which, according to the sth article of I
the Treaty, coneteded this day with France, are In !
Temtin in this country dining • certain number of ,
years,-the undersigned. Ministers; fisc.'&v: &c. think
it their duly tomilte some explanation to his Excel-
lency the Duke dellichelieries to the nature and ex-
tent of the powers attached to this command.
Although chiefly guided with_ respect to this mea-
sure; by motives tendiug to the safety and welfare ref
their subjects, and being very far from shaving any
intention of employing their troops in aid of the!
Police, or of the internal Administration of Frasice,!
or in any manlier that night compromise or interfere!
with the free exercise of the Royal authority in
this country, the Allied Sovereigns have, how-
ever, in consideration of the high interest which
they take in supporting • the power of le.:
gitimeteSovereig,,o, ptomised to his Must Christian
Majesty to soppert him With their arm* against
every revolutionary convulsion which might
tend to overthrow, by Come, the order of things at.
present established, anti to menace, also, again the
viierat tranquility of Europe. They do not, how.:
ever, dissemble that in the variety of forms under,
which the revoluticetary spirit might again manifest
itself in Franca, doubts might arise as to the nature
of the cafe hich might call for the intervention
of a for• i4ti force; end feeling the difficulty of
framing any in t-uc:ions precisely applicable to each
particular rase, the Allied Sovereigns have thought it
heeler to leave it to the tried prudence and discretion
of the Duke of Wellington, to decide when and
how far.it may be advisable to employ hite troops ea
--
der his older!, always supposing that lie w‘,..)1(1 not
in. Aey cuae so determine without having concerted
Iris measures the King of France, or without
giving information as soon as possible to the Allied
Sovereigns, of the motives which may have induced
Elm to come to such a determination. And, as in
Order to guide the Dike of Wellington in the choice
of his arratigenseets, it will be important that he
should be correctly informed of the events which
rosy soccer in France, the Ministers of the four
Allied Courts,' accredited to his Most Christian
Majesty, have received orders to maintain a regular,
correspondence with the Duke of Wellington, and'
to provide at the same time for an intermediate'
one between the French Government and the
Commander-in-Chief of the Allied troops, for the
purpose of transmitting to the French Government
the communications which the Duke' of Wellington
may have occasion to address to it, and of comment-
cattng to the'Marshal the. suggestions or requisitions!
which the Court of France logy wish in future to
make to hire. The umleriigned flatter themselves
that the Doke de Richelieu will readily recognize in
these iiitiagetnents the same character and the umo
princiPles, which have •been manifested in concerting
•nd adapting the measures of the military occupations
of a part of France. They carry with them also, on 1
quitting this country, the consoling persuasion, that
seetwithstendine the _elements of disorder, which
France may Mill contain, the efstet wf Ilersoletiooary
events, a ei,e and paternal Government proceeding
in a proper manner to tranquillize andi conciliate the ;
minds of the people, and abstaining from every act, 1
contrary to such a system, may not only succeed in
maintaining the public tranquillity, hut also in re-
establithinz universal union and confidence, re- !
lieving likewise as much as the proceedings of the
Government can effect it, the Allied Powers, from
the painful necessity of having recourse to these
mensal-es, which, in case of any new convulsions,
would be imperiously prescribed to them by the
duty of prori;ling for the safety of their own sub-
jects, and the general tranquillity of Europe. .
The undersigned have the honour, &c.

No Freuch Papers of a later date than those of
volsioh scwooeseseuic.eied the contests yesterdey had
arrived at a late hour this forenoon. Three days.
Paris Journals are, therefore, now due, namely those
of Monday, Tussoctel.„and Wedwesday. As Nay's
trial was to commence as Monday, we have looked
With much anxiety for the arrival of these Papers,
but as yet our curiosity remains angratified on this
interesting subject.
• It appears by private hitter*, that the evacuation of
(he French capital by foreign troops is merely oomi-
pal, There arc several battalions of British troops
(Guards) in Paris, Lord HILL retains his military
command in the capital, and thesheights and villages
ourrounding the city continue to .he Occopivd by the
irtry under the Duke of WeLLI suro:r. The Parisians
are clamorous, and not without reason, at the cors
tistuatico of British troops iii:the capital beyond the
time stiecifit,d in the Treaty ; tint it seems the Govern-
tnent finds Britich nuailiurAts oecilsary to support its -
eigorous measures, and Britisit Zeaerosbjrcannot refuse
to extend it, protecting shield over the sacred House
of Bouunott, whatever may be its wishes of ill ea. !icy;
and whatever may be the ha cads and expessce which
may attend this species of chivalry. But why do the
