formed by Lord Cathcart, OF the act OF
abdication which was passed by Bona
Iparte on the 4th inst. and of the assaf-
lance given him by The Emperor OF Rus
STA aud the Provisional Government, OF a
Ipecuniary provision of six miilions OF
francs. with safe asylum in the Island
| of EIba. The act in question was de-
POSTED in the bands Of Monsieur de Gau-
llincert and the Marshals Ney and Mac
doaald, tobe given up upon the due ex-
Iacution of engagements ON the part o. the
allies, with respect to the proposed ar
arrangement. These persons were also
authorised to agree to al armistice, and
Ito settle such line of demarcation as
might be satisfactory tothe allies, and, III
the mean time, prevent an unnecessary
efiusiGn Of blood.

Iment on tee point of execution. A cor
jveation had been discussed, and woeld
