ORIGIN4L CO3RRSPONDENCE.

" Paris, Sept. 28.

gi Thanks to the wisdom of the King, Fiance is
saved. The obstinate Ministry which made so much
disturbance about a few paltry pictures and statues,
and fortified towns, is dismissed ; there is a degree
of infatuation about some men really very absorb. Of
what use are repositories of pictures and statues, but
merely as a resort (or idleness ? They would be very
well in the bland of Juan Fernandes, where not a
human creature is to be leen ; but to make so much
fuss about painted canvas and carved stone; when
men and women all alive are to be seen every day, is
as foolish and inconsistent as for a man to prefer the
picture of a sirloin of beef to having one smoking
hot on his table; and, then as to the fortified towns,
why, of what use are they to a man who wants to
live at peace with all the world? they are just of as
much use as a pair of knee-buckles to a High-
sander ; and in the opinion of all sensible per-
sons, the King has shown himself an over-match
itt policy for the Allies, for the keeping posses-
sion of the fortresses will cost them a great deal
neither the obstinncy of Foncitc,
of money. Now,
nor the 6 flexible ability' of 'NUJ:YEA:4ID, could see
this, and, therefore, the King as right in dismissing
such short-sighted mortals, by which he has done an
pgreenble thing to his friends, the Allies, and af-
forded an opportunity to obscure merit to display
itself. Not that all the present Ministers are obscure—
there is the Doke de FELTRE, who is a great man,
very great Tan indeed. How tall is he ? .le ne
rats pas; and then there is the Duke of RICHELIEU,
• lineal descendant of the debauched and profligate
Duke of --. No, I beg pardon, it is the Cardi-
nal Ricitexixu that he is lineally descended from,
and not the Duke. As to the remainder of the
new blitsistry, I think there cannot be a doubt
of their being very excellent persons, and well
fitted for the situations.; for not one of the news-
papers, those eternal scandal-mongers, know who
they are, or can find out any thing against them.
In this dilemma, the Editor of the *** applied to
me, and requested 1 would send off an express to
liartwell instantly, fur the Royal Calendar of the
Count de Lit.t.x. I was stupid enough not to un-
derstand him. Why, Sir, staid he, his Most Christian
Majetty got op last year, with great success, the Co.
medy of SCA tistox, called Jndelet Maitre Valet, and
w*suspect he has applied to the same source for the
present Ministers. As you, Mr. Eniton) eau Sale

In consequence of Mr. Lewis having declined to
serve, we understand that Mr. Sheriff Elect, BELT.,
iil not he sworn in on Friday, but that a Common
Ball %%ill be held in the early part of the nest week,
for the choice of an associate, and in the mesa time
the old Sheriffs hold on. All this difficulty arises
from the little shabby trick of nominating men, who,
from age, infirmity, or other cause, are looked to
for the fine rather than the service. Mr. BELL has
been prevailed on to come forward, and we rejoice in
it, as we know from long experience of his ability,
beneficence, and liberal spirit, that lie will discharge
the arduous duties of the office with attention and
humanity to the many unhappy objects under his
care, and with a just regard to the splendour and
dignity of *the metropolis. We trust he will bare an
associate of equal character.

THE STATESMAN.

TUESDAY, OCTOCEIt 3, 1815.

The dispatches from Lord CASTLELE %Gil and the
Duke of WELLINGTON, on which the Cabinet Council
deliberated yesterday, are understood to have con-
veyed the outlines of the Treaty of Peace between
France and the Allied Powers. No communication
has yet been made to the Public from authority in
confirmation of the Treaty having been actually con.
eluded, nor in explanation of the terms, beyond
what has beets published in the French Papers, which
may be considered as having the sanction of the
French Government ; but the private advises from
:Paris, and the statements in a Ilamburgh Mail which
is just arrived, state the following to be the condi-
tions of the pacific arrangements :—Six French for.
Itresses are to be ceded entirely to the Allies, name-
ly, Maubeuge, Philippeville, Saar. Louis, Landau,
IThorn,and some other of the fortified towns taken
Ipossession of by (he Prussians ; but Strasburgh,
Metz, and Lisle, the principal keys of Germany
and the Netherlands, are not of the number of the
ceded places ; but these and other important stations
are to be kept possession of until the contributions
shall be paid.. These, it is said, amount to either
six or eight hundred millions of francs in money ;
and 150,000 or 200,000 Allied troops are lo.remain
in France, and be maintained at the cost of the
country. It is asserted, that a particular condition
of the Treaty is, that all the armies shall be new
clothed at the expence of the French People. The
conditions are very unpopular, as far as they are
known in France, notwithstanding the vaunted ef-
fects of the liberal exertions of the Emperor ALEX-
ANDER to meliorate the demands of his
IThe payment of the contributions goes on
very tardily—the first instalment has not yet
been paid. If the Allied Powers shall be under
the necessity of keeping such a force :Is is mentioned
in France (and we should apprehend that 150,000
Prussians, or wlntever they may be—the quota
of British troops is only reckoned at fifteen or
16,000, will do but little to ensure public tranquil-
lity throughout France) ; if, we say; the Allied
l'owers shall have imposed on themselves the neces-
sity er keeping up for an indefinite period an army
of 150 or 2(0,(00 men in France, and the posses-
sion of the principal fortresses of that kingdom, it
appears to us that such an arrangement is very ill
characterised by the name of peace; for none of the
advantages which attend a peace, its which the least
confidence can be placed, will or can be the result of
such an arrangement. A temporary suspension from
battle may be the immediate consequence, bet all the
weight, hazards, and inconfidence of war, must con-
tinue to he felt by all the States interested in the
preservation or destruction of this precarious order
of things; and such a peace as we now have, and
the Continent is likely to experience from this
Treaty, so full of indemnification and security, is,
we hesitate not to say, more ruinous than war, and
threatens to us more deplorable consequences. Our
German and Dutch Allies cannot even keep posses.
sion of their new acquisitions without assistance
from us, and both men and money must continue to
be supplied for this purpose by Great Britain, who ;
must thus voluntarily debar herself from the chief
market on the Continent, and live in a state of con-
tinual privation, mistrusted and mistrusting. It is!
absurd to talk of a treaty of commerce with Fiance, I
when the more important political points, en u Weir
reciprocity of confidence and esteem is founded, I
are so far from being adjusted to satisfaction, at I
least to the satisfaction of one, and that still deemed
the principal party—the people of France.
