FRENCH PAPERS.

Pasts, Orr. 18.—A Royal Ordinance of the 30th
1 of September continues, until the cud of October,
1819, tae power already granted to French vessels
'of importing to our colonial possesaions corn em-
barked in foreign Imbrium This meamese, ,which

firms at the same time to the national 'mitigation the
privileges which it ought to enjoy.
Great activity has prevailed for several days In the,
harbour of Calais. A great number of mods ere
preparing there to transport the English troops who
are about to evacuate the French territory. From
the 201 h to the 221 of October, 18,000 English will
enter Calais, to embark for England. The quays
have been already cleared for the embarkation 61 the
cavalry, and transports arrive daily for their accom-
modation.
Our Readers may recollect that a gendarme, on
being asked by Madame Mansoo what the world
said of her, answered this celebrated female iss a
true barrack-yard slang, implying, that they were
far from thinking her a vestal.—A Thoulouse
nal states, that a Magistrate being lately at an even-
ing party, a Lady took the liberty of asking him,
what he thought of Madame Manson, to which the
former replied, " Ah ! Madame, you must put that
Question to a gendarme."
All LA•CHATELLE, OCT. 14.—The Minister'sl
conferences continue as well at Prince liardenberg's
as at the hotel of the Prince de Metternich. They
relate to the measures which are to be adopted
for securing the peace.and tranquillity of Europe,
the evacuation of France being now decided. Never
did there exist in the Cabinets of Europe, so many
dispositions concurring in the great work of a per-
petual peace, that vast project which experience
seems to bate placed among the dreams of politics.
The etchings of the ratifications of the Treaty of
Evacuation will take place probably on Saturday, the
17th, or on Monday, the 19th. On that day the
Sovereigns will set off for the grand review of the
Allied troops in France.

" An Address to their Imperial and Royal Ma-
jesties and to their Representatives at the Congress
of Aix.la• Chapelle," has been distributed among the
Diplomatic Wady. This Address appears to be from
the pen of Mr. Wilberforce. It exposes the present
infractions of the Treaty for the Abolition of the
Slave Trade, and proposes measures for its more strict
execution in future.
VALENCIENNES, OCT. 13.—A1l the arrangements
are concluded for the reception of his Majesty the
Emperor of Russia, the King of Prussia, and the nu.
Mir oils and brilliant suite by which they will be sc.
cornpartied., For some days past the Russian troops
have been as'embling near Mauheuge, and in the en-
virons of landrecies, whilst the Danes are concen-
trating at Bouchain, and the English near Denaio.

poilttal from our estiblished considlieo of Miniiterial
polies in this respect by the widen realisation of the
reported skeleton arrangement; bat we rennin in the
inpleasing persuasion that if the same unnecessary_
and burdensome eapence is to be entailed upon the
Public which has weighed them down so long, and
an addition of many thousands of idle and pennyleas
hands are to be added to their number, .we shall see
more skeletons than the Ministers are at present
