I LONDON. iA JlfoxTtAr EVENING, JU$E§- L^fiave received by theMoniteur ofthe ~d | Katies of Peace signed between France ,51' the Allied Powers. The principal fea- ,|°f them are already known to the public. Ve returns to the limits she possessed on Of January, 1792, with some small ac- 7 cession of territory on the side of Belgium and Savoy. She is to have Chamberi and Annecy together with Avignon, the Veuaisson, and Montbeliard. Holland is to receive an in- crease of territory, but the Sovereignly of Holland is never to pass to a Prince possessing a foreign crown. The States of Germany are to be independent. and to be united by a fe- deral bond. Switzerland remains independ- ent, and Geneva is to be incorporated with her. Italy, with the exception of the States that return to the Austrian dominion, is to be composed of Sovereign States. Malta is ceded to us, as well as Tobago, St. Lucie, the Isle of France and its dependencies (Rodriga and the Sechelles). France recovers the Isle of Bour- bon, Martinique and Guadaloupe, upon which the King of Sweden consents to abandon his claims-but we suppose not without receiving an equivalent, though that is not provided for in the treaty. Portugal consents to the cession y Z, to France of French Guiana. The Newfound- land Fisheries are to be on the same footing in in which they were in 1792. Antwerp is to be only a commercial port. The navigation of the Rhine is to be free. Two-thirds of the Antwerp and Flushing Heels are to be given up to France. The propeity given out of France to French subjects (Marshais, Gene- rals, Senators, &c.) is to be guaranteed to them. Is Talleyrand to keep the principality of Beneverjtnm Berliner, Neufchatel; Sava- ry, Rovigo; Fouche, Olranto ? At the expiration of two months a Congress is to be held at Vienna to fix the arrangements which are to complete the diiliositiotif i)f the present Treaties, settle the face of Belgium, Italy, and Germany. Commercial arrangements for the benefit of the two countries are promised, and France engages to unite her efforts at the Congress with ours, for a general abolition of the Slave Trade, France in the meanwhile promising to abolish it within five years. In five years! Why was the diabolical traffic not abandoned at once by all the Powers ? There is nothing said in the Treaty about the surrender of the Cape of Good Hope to us; though we are certainly to remain in pos. session of it. But that has been arranged, we suppose, with II olland. Such are the conditions of these trealies which have put a period to the most sangui- nary conflict that ever ravaged the civilised world. May Europe erijov that lotig repose (which God knows she wants), and each 1'ow. er vie with the other in promoting the wel fare, the security, and the happiness of man- kind. Marshal Blucher and the Austrian Minister Metternich, arrived, we believe, last night at Dover in the Nympheu frigate. The Emperor of Austria left Paris on the 3d, and the last column of the Allied troops began their mrch. In giving up the post of Governor of Paris, General Hack en wrole a letter to General Dessolles, in which he ex- presses his sense of the friendly relations Ilia! have subsisted between the national guard of Paris and the allied troops. The further consideration of the Corn Bill stands for this day. But as the wishes of the whole country have been so strongly expres sed, we hope and trust that the further consi- deration will be to decline all further proceed. illg in it. at least for this Session. Arrival of the Emperor of Russia and King1 of Prussia. HALF-l'AST TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Telegraph has just announced the fol- lowing ;—'» xhe Emperor of Russia and King of Prussia, with their suites, landed at Dover this morning, and are expected in town in a few hours." I

See. will attend, as on former occasions, and at which; it is most probable, the Emperor of Russia and King of Prussia, will appear. A day of Thanksgiving will also be appointed. A Committee of the House of Commons is now sitting, to inquire into the most useful and practicable mode of cIJllalizing the weights and measures of the kingdom by one regulat- ing standard. Mr. D. Giddy, Mr. Woolaston and Mr. Playfair, are-principally consulted on this important measure. Sir W. P. Call, Bart, has announced 'his iii tention to reduce his rents to his tenants in Cornwall, in proportion to the decline in the prices of farm produce: and on the same principle the wages of his numerous workmen will be reduced to the fair and equitable ratio of the price of provisions. Lady Pilkingtou's late elopement from her seat at Mill Green, in Essex, which made so much noise for a few days in that county, ter- minated, it seems, in nothing more than an excursion in a chaise and four, to a neighbour- ing church, with her Yorkshire Apothecary, 011 whom she has bestowed her hand and im- mense fortune. Ralph Hodgeson, Esq. of Gainford, Dur- ham, a gentleman possessed of considerable lauded properly, has, in consequence of the depressed stale of the markets for all kinds of farming produce, given orders for his farms to be reduced one fourth of the present rental Singular Bonfire.'—On Friday se'nnight, the return of peace was celebrated by a very sin- gular spectacle in Scotland. A bonfire was lighted at night on the top of the remarkable isolated Mountain of Lanarkshire, called Tinlo at a spot on which there is an accumulation of' stones, which must have been conveyed there by the most extraordinary exertions, called a Cairn. Fifty loads of coals, and large quanli- ties of wood, were employed for the fire. Se- veral sheep were roasted whole, and ale and wiskey went round in abundance. The fire, which was lit at nine at night, had a noble aud brilliant effect; the Cairn of Tinto is seen from 17 counties, and trom the Atlantic and German Oceans.

REJOICINGS AT BEAUMARIS, On Monday and Tuesday last. On Monday a large party, about 40 gentle- men, sat down to an excellent dinner, at the Bulh-head Inn, to testify their joy at the at- tainment of a General Peace throughout Eu- rope, which has been mainly accomplished through that loyalty and courage of Britons, whose victories in the course of the war they had so often met to celebrate, Colonel Sparrow in the Chair. After the cloth was removed, the Chairman gave The King," 3 times 3, band, God save the King.'—" The Prince Regent," 3 tiiiies 3-11 rtic Queen."—"The Duke of York, and the other branches of the Royal Family."—" The Prince Regent's Mi- nisters," applause.'—" The memory of the IMMORTAL PiTT," 3 times 3—The King of France, and prosperity to the House of Bourbon," much cheering.

P. for the County of Carnarvon," all with 3 times 8, &c. &c. Several excellent songs were sang during the evening, and the company departed at a late hour, highly pleased and gratified. On Tuesday night the whole town was il- luminated, when the utmost regularity pro- vailed; several very appropriate and beauti ful transparencies together with the shipping in the harbour, which were tastefully lighted up, gave a pleasing and de!i-;htful 'CUCCL to the whole. Baron Hill, the seat of Lord Vis- count Warren Bulkeley, was most brilliantly adorned with transparent variegated lamps, which combined with the lofty trees, and the pleasing stillness of every thing around, ap- peared like the Palace of Aladdin, as recorded in the Arabian Nights. His Lordship order- ed two barrels of Cwrw da to be given to the populace. A large bonfire and a brilliant dis- play of fireworks, provided for the occasion, closed Ihe scene. Red Hill and Henllys, the seats or Colonel Spariow and Major Ilamptoo, were decorated with lights, aud did honour to the worthy possessors, Last week a flooring slate was sold by Messrs. 1 Tyeih Shilson, and Co. the Proprietors of Tresmanan to Mr. Wui. Thorne, and placed opposite to his dwelling-house, against the Towli-hail, in LaullceslotJ, where the mar- ket, for the sale of oals, is held it is two in- ches thick, aud coniauis eighly-fonr superfici- al feet. This slate attracted the attention of hundreds of people on Saturday (marketday), who were astonished at ils size. At the samc lime there was in the quarry a slate, two ill. clies tiiicii, thirty feet by nine feet, containing two hundred aud seventy superficial feet. It is presumed that this is the largest slate that was ever seert in the kingdom. The rags and scanUe, in this quarry, are also remarkably tine.

a FIOftlN GRASS. (FROM THE CAMBRIAN.) MR. EDITOR, Sir,—Having in my former letters on the sub- ject. of Fiorin Grass, expressed my conviction of the advantages which would result from an ex- tensive cultivation of it, and having mentioned that 1 was myself making experiments on that Grass, I conceive it a duty incumbent on me to give the results of those experiments; lest those very segarious persons who seem so much dispos- eù to ridicule the subject, and to treat with con- tempt every diseovery which has not come with- in the pale of flicir own should mis- construe my silence, and conclude that their own sage observations are alone deserving of attention. About the middle of April, IS 1:1, I laid some Fiori-n Stolones in a plot of ground where potatoes had been raised ttic year ueforc; and oil the 5th of June I planted another plot of the same kind with small tufts of that grass, leaving a space of about fifteen inches betweon each tuft, according to instructions I had received from Dr. Richardson. The rapid growth of it surprised every be- holder, and every person who came to see it, ex- pressed astonishment, at the immence lleece it displayed before the month of October, which, nevertheless, continued to increase till (he latter end of November. Desirous to convince the sceptical of its pow- ers, I did not cut any part of it till the first week in neconber, when the plot planted June 5th was mown, and it was left to bear the alternate changes of rain and frost till the first week in Ja- nuary, when it was housed, having received 110 injury whatever from the severity of the weather. It was weighed very carefully the beginning of April, when in a perfectly dry state, ami the pro- duce was at the rate of upwards of ten torts to the English acre. The plot first planted remained uiieut tili tiie beginning of March, and although it had been completely covered with snow for a month in (he winter it was not in the least. in- jured. This hay was [eft to undergo the various changes of weather (ill the 20th instant; yet, notwithstanding that, on being placed before a horse, together with some common hay of tiie very best quality, the animal gave the preference to the Fiorin, and continued to eat thai alone so long as any of it remained. I am aware that in endeavouring to establish these facts, and to impress conviction of the great value of Fiorin Hay, [ have to encounter the most deep-rooted prejudices, and the most de- termined obstinacy; yet there are some liberal- minded men who arc open to conviction, aud who will at least desist from treating that as absurd and rediculous which they have never tried. To such I writs, and it is with their a3sistance alone that any reasonable hopes can be entertained of dispelling the dark clouds of incredulity and ig- norance in which the greater part of mankind are enveloped. In support of the opinions I have expressed of the nature, qualities, and value of Fiorin, I beg to itiduca file following stateinentr. The report of the inspection of the farm of J. C. Curwen, Esq. in Cumberland, on the 5th of August last, puhlished ill the farmer's Journal, states the weight of the Fiorin crops, planted the preceding November, to be upwards of eight tons per acre. At the Workington Agricultural Meeting, 6th August, 1813, Mr. Boyd, of Merlon Hall, men- tioned his having raised not less than 22 tons par acre from Fioriu planted without any particular selection with plauts growing upon his own farm, At fiic Kircudbright Agricultural Society Meet- ing, July 20, at Castle Douglass, the Bishop of Derry stated that his Fiorin crops afforded him fiom eight to nine tous per acre; that she pro- duce per acre had brought him 421. 18s. and that the hay was purchased by the 7th dragoons, the horses of which regiment improved in an extra- ordinary manner during the period they led on this hay. In a lettr from Dr. Richardson, dated 17th Oct. 1813, is the following passage;- I am authorised by the Lord Bishop of Der- j ry to state, that, returning home after a conside- rable absence, he told his bailiff that his working- horses were in very good condition-, Yet. my Lord, they have had but half the usual allow- ance of oats.' Why so? Jhcausc when fed with Fiorin hay I find half the quantity of ouis suffi- C2cnt. Extract from the Derry Journal, 7th Oct. 1813: —" We are authorised to state Tbat the luxuriance of the Lord Bishop of Derry, Mr. M'Taughton, and Dr. Richardson's Fiorin crops exceeded Mr. Curweu's mest sanguine expecta- tions, and thaI he lias now changed his mind, hav- ing once thought, that Fiorin was to be cultivated wish prudence, only on poor ground; but now he finds from the magnificence of the crop laid down by our Bishop under the walls of Derry, that the very highest tent should not deter KS from apply- li, (1, p ing the ground to the cultivation of Fiorin crops. I trust the importance of the subjecr to the Agricultural Interests of the Principality will plead my excuse for having given you all this trouble, and airs, &e, THOMAS JENKINS.
