slfthe question is with regard TO that sort Of ex-
cess which are iaeeparble IRON the fury of cnmbats
aud the violent Efforts ota continued pursuit. it rs
manifest that the English and pr1ssahs were alone
in sitna,ios to commit such, because they alone
have iousit great battles in this extraordinary cam

hunser, and thirst, never giving themselves repo'c,

&c Paris, JUly 31.-For some days re-
port has beer spread, that the peace be-
tween the Allied Powers and France has
been signed. Several Of the journals have
announced, and the merchants have sent
word of it 10 their foreign correspondents
All this is at least premature nothing is
yet decided, but ii is certain that the
great points not yet arranged, viii be SO
shortly
60 Till the fate of our unhappy country
is definitively fixed, it seems sure that
there will be some changes ofterritory on
different points of our frontiers. The fol-
lowing are the particulars stated to-day
in the circles which pretend to be the best
informed they pretend that Chamber
ry, and all that part OF Savoy given to
France by the Treaty of Paris, will be re-
stored to the king of Sardinia, who, on
his side, will cede to France the fine coun-
try of Nice, which would so well suit us.
Tits added that the fortress of Huninguen,
with circle OF territory round it, viii be
ceded to Switzerland, that the town of
Basic may be for the future secure, and
that it may not be poss bic to destroy it by
a bombardment without danger to the as
saiants. Landau, it is said, will be ceded
to Germany, and viii become a fortress,
belonging to the Confederation of the En-
pire.
g On the side of Belgium, it is pretended
there will be a rectification of the from
tiers and, it is added, that several small
places which lie out of our line OF defence
will be ceded by France to the Kingdom of
Belgium among them are mentioned Gil
vet, Philippeyilic, Maubeugc, Condo, &c.
Such is the news Of the day it is pretty
certain we shall soon learn how well found
ed it may be.
" AS for the contribution which our coun-
try will have to pay for the expenses of
the war, and to indemnify the Allies, there
is no doubt of its being considerable. 1t is
believed that the requis tons made for the
support OF the allied armies will be deduc-
ted from it. All France viii bear it, each
department paying its quota according to
its stability.
Z" .5!c IL Chqhcl, July 31-The official
Journal Contains the following
" a private letter from Pruesian ON
Ger, which was received from Paris . few
days since. contains the following passage
1t cannot be concealed that tranquility
IS far from being re-es ab!sncd among the
French in this capital ; and If the allied
troops were not III such numbers there,
l believe that civil war would be inevta-
bic
Very lately there arose on one of the
Boulevards so violent dispute Between
the national guard and the soldiers of the
young guards (who. although tlisbanded,
still figure in their uniform,) that several
were severely wounded or both sides.
" The Bonapartists, for example, have
adopted certain secret tokens, one of
which is red pink, which they wear,
and this is enough to excite all sorts of
quarrels. At an ordinary such confusion "a
rose, that the landlord wos obliged 70 have
two tables, one For tbs Bonapartists, and
one for the Royahs's.
" 1t is not known what the allies will
do with Bonaparte, who is in the hands of
the English the operations of the cabinets
are conducted with the most profound Sc
Crecy. MIR. Justus Gruner is continually
with TIC King ana Prince Hardenberg. II
IS pretended thlt France will have to pay
100000, 900 Of francs that the sum is a
greed upon, only the allies require that the
payment shall be completed in , ycars, and
the French ask years.
What groves that the Prussians are
seriously employed in the restitution Of the
works Of art carried off by Bonaparse and
the French, from the Prussian states, is,
that q picture from the Potsdarn gallery, re-
moved to Paris in 1896, has already arrived
here and is at the chief Presidents house.
n whole cargo Of works Of art is at this
moment on the way from Paris TO Pots
dam ; and Is expected here in q day or two.
We hope, also, speedily 20 witness the ar
