Declaration of the jMlied So vereigns.
Now that fhe pacification of Eu
rope is accomplished |>y tlie resolu
tion of withdrawing the foreign
troops from the French dfcritory; and
now that there is an end of those
measures of precaution which "deplo
rable events had rendered necessary,
the ministers and plenipotentiaries of
their majesties the Emperor of Aus
tria, the King of France, the King
gia, and the Emperor af all the ttas
\ sinus, having received orders from
their Sovereigns,to make known to all
the ^onrts of Europe the results of
?thetV meeting at Aix-la-Ch*pelle,
and with that view to publish the
folio* ing .declaration ?: The conven
tiuu of the 9th of October, winch
definitely regulated the execution of
thii engagements- agreed in the
the treaty of peace in Novemlier 20,
1810, is considered by the sover
ei:;na who concurred theiein, as the
accomplishment of the work of peace,
and as ibe V completion of tfoe poli
tical system destined to insure its so
lidity. The intimate union estab
> lished among the Monarch*, who
aiejoint parties to thir system, b^r]
the interests of their peei^ayoffera
to Europe the most sacred ptetlge of
its future tranquility. The object tif
this union is as simple as ? is great
and salutary. It does not tend to
any new (>olitical combinatioiv?to
any change in the relations sanction
ed by existiup treaties. Calm and
consistent in its proceedings, it has
no other olgect tJian the maintenance
of peace, and the security ?f those
* transactions on which the peace was
fbu ailed and consolidated. The
Hoveveigns, in forming this august
union, have regarded as its funda
mental basis, their invariable- reso
lution never to depart, either among
tliemselves, or in their relations with
other states, from the strictest obser
vation of the principles of the right
of nations; nerraatient peace, can
alone ettectually guarantee the inde
pendence of each government, and
the stability of the general associa
tion. Faithful to tTiese principles,
the Sovereigns M ill maintain them
equally in those meetings at which
they may be personally present, or
in those which shall take place
among their ministers; whet Iter it
shall be their object to discuss in
common their own interests, or whe
ther they shall take cognizance of
qttestions in which other governments
, shall forma tly claim their interference.
" The same spirit which will di
rect tlieir council, and reign in tbeir
diplomatic communications shall pre
side alno, at these n eetings; ami
tlie rejiose of the world shall l>e con
stantly their motive and their end.
It is with such seutiments' that the
Sovereigns have consummated the
.rork to which they wer? called.
Th*y will not cease, to labor tor its
confirmation and perfection. Ther
solemnly acknowledge, that their
duties towardn God anil the people
whom they govern, make it pereni
tory on them to give to the world, as
far as in their power an example ol
justice, Vf concord, of moderation;
happy in the power of consecrating,
iiom henceforth, all their efforts to
the protection of the :w*ts of peace,
to the increase of the internal pros
perity of their states and to the a
wakeniitg of tho^n seutiments of le
li^iou and morality, whose enspirt
lms l>eeti but too much enfeebled by
the nii&orluncs of the timet."

We airain call vour attention '?
o v
die custom of putting ropes aroum
square bales of Cotton, without ?
bonification of tare, ami once fur ai?
recommend you not to purchase, a
any time, a single bale oruamtuu u
with these trapping*; on aaount <u
which you suffer a deduction in ever\
market in Europe, of not less than
a pound for each ro|>e, and frequently
more. We have observed the uum
l>er of roj)es increase annually, from
two to four, awl even live, ami
should ?ot be surprised to see thi
planters surround their bales with
six or seven, till they resemble a
package of India Cotton, (on which
161I>8. are allow ed for ropes) unless
your merchants appose thenoveltv,
vfhicb only requires two or thin
years to become the custom of the
|>ort of Charleston. Thirty cents is>
too advantageous a price fur hemp
and wood, not t6 be noticed; sup
loosing the bale to have two repe*,
your loss in weight is.
Two lbs. at 30 cents; ~~ 60
Freight at 2 cts. duty at 2 eta. ft

On the same, four Topes give a loss

A ranging wrath, which sleeps not, will
