The friends of justice bring forward
these observations the more readily, as
tie whole population of Paris, the lives and
property OF many individuals. are pirate cited
by no other aegis than the faith OF that ca
i.itulaton.
80 1t is essential to observe, that the city
OF Paris has never been restored to the
fAing-that it is now in the military occu-
patton of the allies: and that no person
Can proceed beyond it's environs without a
passport countcrsigned by the military
commander of the allies.

ADDITIONAL NOTE.
The Duke of Wellington in a private
aude granted yesterday CNov. !3) to
Madame Ney, gave as the grounds of the
disposition in which he was personally not
to interfere at all in the process Of the
Marshal,
:" That his Majesty the King of France
had not ratified the Convention of the 81
July
&c That the stipulation written in the
18th Article, expressed only the renuncia-
ton of the High Powers, on their own &C
count, OF proceeding against any one in
france Tor ms conduct or political opu
ions;
" That they had nothing then to NEEDLE
with the acts of the Kings Government"
Madame Ia MARKETABLE Ney cannot be-
lieve that this first opinion, manifested up
on the 18th Article of the Convention of
the Sd July, can be dcfinitivey maintain
ed in the conference of the Plenipotentia-
ries.
In effect, in the attacks and invasions
purely foreign of conqucror, the enemy
who penetrates into country, BUSES him
self in no wise with the troubles that may
have broken out in il. that those of a Ger
tam party shall not be proceeded against
1t Is then because, in the present concur
renee, the war was special, and for the
pacihcations of the interior, that they
thought OF STIMULATING it III terms of am
nesty.
The King. say they, has not ratified it :;
bet the ratification has been sufficient, for
the taking of possession followed from it,
The condition of the beseiged cannot be
changed afterwards, unless things be re-
established in statu quo.
Ills Highness has not sufficiently con-
sidered what ought to be essentially con-
sidered, that this 18th article was the sub
ject of discussion between the English
and Prussian Commissioners, and the
Commissioners of the French Army, aud
that it was well understood that this stip-
uiatlon took place on account OF the King,
and not on account of the Allied Armies,
who had no positive interest to act against
such or such party.
That the Article was consented to in the
name OF all the Allied Powers, an interest
indiviSible, and which the two treaties of
the 18th and goth March, designated as
being principally that of his majesty the
king of France.
That it will not be meddling in the acts
ofthe Kings government, to recall to his
majesty, engagements made in his name
engagements which his ministers forget
which individuals proceeded against claim.
and of which it becomes the dignity of the
high powers that the effect should not be
null.
Finally, i'll all cases, since his Highness
allows that the high powers are at least
bound themselves, by remuneration, what
ought they to think, al being IN ade to
appear as conJuring and requiring the trial
of Marshal Ney
Is it not the first thing they ought to do
in such conjecture, to disengsge speedily
the balance Of criminal justice from this
enormous weight !
Note Duplicates of these two docu-
mepts have b en- sent to the Prince Regent
of England, and to the Prime Minis.er-
their answers are expected.

PARIS, November IS.
Mon8ieur ie Dfarechal,
] have had the horror IT receiving the
note VIII oh you addressed to me or the lSth
inst. relative to the operation Of the capitu-

the one part, and the Prince D'Echmuhl.

military occupation Of Paris.
The object Of the tive fth article was to
prevent any measure of severity under the
military authority Of those VINO made it
towards any person in Paris on account of
any Offices they had filed, or any
conduct or political opinions Of theirs but
It never was intended, and nsver would be
intended, to prevent either the existing
