On tire ether baud it is affirmed from Holland,
that the military contributions are the greatest ob-
stacles, and that England wishes to remain alone the
public creditor of France, in order that she may have
the disposal of the fruits of the conquest. Au ar-
tiste in the Haerkm Courant, of the 16th, purport-
ing to come from Paris, has the following curious
view of the subjects of the uegociations :—.44 It is af-
firmed, that the military eostsibulloo of SOO or 1000
millions which France is to pay, is a particular soh.
jett of negociation between England and the other
Allied Powers. It is pretended that England wishes
to remain alone the creditor of France, and offers
to the other Powers to pay each its contingent, after
deducting the subsidies already paid, by which
weans the accounts that have been running for
some years between England and the other Allies
will be brought into order ; but it is affirmed, on the
other hand, that some of the Allies will not listen to
this proposal. (They want territory, of course.) It
seems that the affair of FOCCIIE is now arranged, and
that he will remain in the Ministry ; this is attii.

The Pressiew Ps/revs-ha eestitterevecoriwes remark I.
One of them (the Rhenish Mercury), from which we
beve quoted an odd piece of speculation in another
page, gives us to understand that the Negociatious
ate only just begun, and states a wonderfully modest
proposal on the part of the now great descendant of
the House of Brandenburgh. It says, " Prussia
his brought forward, as a sine yea non condition, the
ce-sion of Alsace and Lorraiue," that is to say, the
cessius of the Departments of the Nlearthe, Mo-
selle, Meuse, Vosges, and Upper and Lower Rhine,
containing in all about three millions of inhabitants !
The writer of this article observes, that " the issue
of the negociatiOn depends upon this principally,
whether means will be foiled to gain, Austria, so that
she also declares for the cession,and.firmly iusists upon
it." Ridiculous presumption !and will nothing depend
on the consent of the French nation and the people—
the three millions of inhabitants, whose rights and
properties are thus swallowed in imagination by the
greedy ambition cf a merciless invader, who is ex-
claiming against conquest and ambition, yet is the
bolstered child of political robbery He is an " aug-
menter of the Empire"—is he, truly ! he is a greater
augmenter of . himself. But we proceed to our ex-
tracts from the Papers just received :

THE CON7'R AST. -.

TO THE EDITOR, OF THE STATESMAN.

Sta,—lf the Paper, which has every appearance
Of being genuine, and which purports to he signed
by Prince MErrzexicu, the. Austrian Minister, he
authentic, the difference between the treatment of
NApOLEoN himself by our Government, and of his
brother-in-law, Joscuim, by the Austrian, is. far
more striking than it seems to be intelligible.
The last enterprise of Mu.% AT must have been far
Otherwise irritating to Austria than any thing in the
campaigns of this or the last year could have been to
Britain, so as to have influenced the conduct of our
Ministry towards BONAPARTE ; yet the conduct of
that continental and of oar insular Cabinet are
such, when compared, that it would appear much
more probable that we should hare gifted as th
base done; and if they had acted as we, this expla-
nation would have been less difficult than at present.
I do not in this instance blame the Austrian proce-
dure; on the contrary, it seems more liberal and
more regardful of the principles of civilised warfare
than was to have been expected. And on this occa-
sion a Prince, whom birth did not make, has beets
treated in his adversity as a Prince, and has found
an asylum, which here, to ISTAeot.tox, was denied.
The large freedom of choice of residence in the
Austrian dominions, either in the cities or in the
country, and the recognition of the regal style and
appellation in himself and his consort, the sister of
Nowsox, is wonderfully contrasted with the re-
cent aents in this island. •

It is not easy to be without some astonishment at
this difference : and it will be mere astonishing
yet, if a Government which -Tin thus act toward the
late King of NATLEN, can be ti party to our conduct
toward the E:-Emperor of FIANCE.
It has, iudeed, for some time back been asserted,
that Austria refused last year to concur in the then
meditated deportation from Elba to St. ll•lenst ; and
the present Peper strengtheos that assertion. I had
certainly Enoch rather that my own country should
have set this example of liberality than that Austria
should ; but it is better to see it any where set than
no where; and possibly even yet we may not be of
those, who, when good is to be done, will never
follow what other men begin. The character is not
enviable for the magnanimity of a great nation, and
of the councils which ought to distinguish it. Would
that we had never imitated any of the Powers on the
Continent, in any thing that %as less to our credit
than this would be.

The proposal of a subordinate title (and it is re.
tnarkable that the title adopted by the Ex-Queen of
Nancs is recommended) is no other than the appli-
cation of a sound international principle which con=
eiders foreigners, whatever sovereignty they may
claim, as temporary subjects in the State where they
have chosen to reside, without prejudice, however,'
to certain exempfire rights as already stated. It
may be remembered that the.study of universal lam
has been for ages peculiarly cultivated in Germany.
It would not, perhaps, be advisable to quote Greek
in this Letter ; but Lord GRCNYILLE, the Marquis
WELLESLEY, Mr. CastNtwo, and other eminent per-
eons in Parliament, of however different parties, will
find clear and powerful arguments applicable to the
question of Deportation, should it be attempted to
establish it by law (I should say by statute) in the
Oration of DEMOSTHENES against ARISTOCHSTES.—
Surely there may be persons who even voted for the
gar who would yet not support the deportation.
I would hope, should such attempt be made, their
..tfttic studies and habits of thought will bo a sufficient
security against its having their support. Others I
could mention, of whom I have the happiness to
know that it will assuredly and strenuously be op-
posed by them.
With regard to France the sheep which had
parted with their dum•tliten dog, as the condition of
peace with their magnanimous enemies, are a true
emblem of the present condition of that unhappy
country.
