General Kosciusko passed through Bask, ;nog. about a fortnight since, and is gone to the interior of Switzerland. 1 be arrival of the Emperor of Austria at Basle set ms to be put off till the 10th instant.

In the night of the 2,1 instant a Convention was signed with France, which stipulates the principal at tides ti the Treaty of Peace. Some accessary points still remain to be regulated.

AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, OCTOBER It Yesterday at noon, we had the happiness to see here for the first time our august Sovereign, King Frederick William 111. His Majesty was received by the superior Authorities, the General Comman dant, the first President of the Royal Koine Pro vinces and of the Grand Duchy of the Lowe: Rhine, amidst the acclamations of the multitude. After having given audience to the functionaries both civil and military, as well as to the Clergy, his Majesty visited the cathedral and whatever is curious in our city. In the evening there was a fine hall, which it was hoped his Majesty would have honoured with bis presence, but the fatigues of the journey on the road from Brussels hither, having passed the night in his carriage, hindered it. In the evening the whole city was illuminated. This morning very early his Majesty set out for Cologne. I, - ! BRUSSELS, OCTOBER 14. His Majesty, by a decree of the 2d of August, in near 300 articles, regulates the organization of scien tific education in the northern provinces. Another decree will be published for the southern provinces. Lots= DE BLIONAPARTE.--CODintUre is at vari ance in regard to the motives which have given rise to this extraordinary publication; but we think they are quite apparent from the following introductory lines :--"" This publication will not have the eclat, nor make the noise, which French frivolity has always a pleasure in attaching to my smallest actions. The sincerity of my acknowledgments, the veracity, the details, and the result of what the French have seen of me, may, it is true, establish my culpability in tl:e eyes of the vulgar : but what matters this ? I have no dread of public opinion. It is at all times the slave of force and genius. 1 write to instruct in inkind, and not to justify myself. lam perte . satisfied with my own conduct. I have been all I wished, and every action of my life has been done with pleasure."— Introduction, page IS. ' The letter of ten or twelve lines which has been Ilmerred in th. foreign Join's&ls as that which Foucus orhiressed to the Kira, en his resignation, is not suthentic. That which he really wrote is far more respectful and much longer. Among other things, speaking of his vote on the trial of Louis XVI. he states, that it will form the subject of his repentance during his whole life, and that his binaesTY's bounty towards him, and the esteem with which he has been pleased to honour him, in elevating him to so eminent a place, could alone efface that stain. Fjr some months previous to the decisive en gagement of Waterloo, it is reported, aild believed without doubt at Paris, a secret correspondence was carried on between Female and the Duke of WEL LINGTON. It was owing to TOUCHE, it is said, that BoNapalm did not attack the Allies sooner. He always set his face against BONAPARTE'S setting out for the army, alleging t - at he could not, in the ab. sense of the Emperor, answer for the tranquillity and secusity of the capital. It was through TOUCHE that LONAPASTE came to the resolution of liberating the Doke of ANGOULEME. Thus though the Duke of OTRANTO has not escaped disgrace at Court (which a wise man should indeedlaugh at) he enjoys his life and a princely fortune. COPY OF A LETTER FROM ST.

SPAIN. - The great length of the details received by the Corunna Mail of yesterday, obliged us to abridge some of the Proclamations: They are so remarkable for the ferocity of the exultation 'of the bigotted agents of a bigotted Government, over the fall of the man whose momentary success had filled them with terror, that diet ought not to be lost : and we have therefore given them entire in our columns this day. The fate of the brave, the patriotic, but perhaps inconsiderate PORLIER, and the firmness with which he met his fate, will never be effaced from the recol lection of his countrymen. But for the patriotic exertions of this brave young man, FERDINAND ev.;isks rit haws Loon without a ernwn. Plow* occupied in tambouring petticoats for the idol which he and his priests adore. In return, this same FERDINAND has caused the death of a traitor to be inflicted on him. The sufferer judged correctly of the feelings of virtuous minds when be told his wife that the death they might inflict could dishomer oak the wicked To die in the cause of troth and hu manity •" covers the good with honour and glory." To want of previous concert, ate failure of Post men's enterprize can done be ascribed. He had not time to make the requisite aKangements. The public mind all over Spain was ripe for a revolution, nor can it be long prevented ; but without something like a plan, it rarely lYippens that the concurrence of mere contingencies effect what is lest unprovided for. Our private levers all agree in stating that the army. even that part of it which has been loudest in its cries against treason and traitors, is ripe for a revolution; but the priests l—the priests I—the priests, to a man, all over that country, are the enemies of freedom, of virtue, of truth, of genuine religion. The next time the Patriots venture nn a movement, they will, recol lecting the part these men have acted on the present occasion, probably not forget tle obligations they have laid them under to lore them. Our letters ein regitlar series down to the de.l parture of the Pack:t from Cot onus, but we shall in addition to the leak' from Vigo [see the STAR of yesterday] only give the follov‘ written soon after the insurrection, from which our Readers will be able to form some idea of the alarm into which the FiIIIDINANOISTO were thrown. They either them' selves circulated, or knowing how well they merited the anger of other Powers, they credited a report that 15,000 British troops were coming against them. Is there a man in this e•untry who would not rejoice to see the fears of these bad men realised ! But we Iforbear--, " CORUNNA, SEPT. so, tsIS. 44 I wrote you by Packet on Sunday the 24th (see the STAR of .sth October), from which you would learn the termination of the efforts of PORLIIIR and his partizans to put an end to the present system.— The return of Sr. MARFA to the Captain• Generalship of this Kingdom of Galicia, has been succeeded by the arrival of 5000 troops, which entered the town on Tuesday (the 26th) ; and at noon on the same day arrived General ?omen, and Captains Per* and Cones, as prisoners, under a military escort.— I had an opportunity of closely observing them for a quarter of an hour. Their passage through the town to the doors of the prison destined to receive them, did not disappoint my expectation of witnessing in their upright, firm, and determined manner and step, a consciousness that in their attempts they had done chat which was strictly justifiable and correct; and that they felt nothing of the shame of criminals in their altered state. A military commission is ap pointed to try the traitors (as they are called), which has been sitting to-day ; and it is expected that POR• ma and several others wills be condemned to death, which will doubtless be carried into execution with. out delay. At least sixty Officers have been arrested and thrown into prison; they are bronght in almost every day—this morning five arrived. " Many idle rumours are afloat; amongst others * that the English are coming with a strong fleet and 15,000 men, and are expected to land at Vigo, or in this port. Whether these 'rumours are to be attri buted to the hops or fears of those who circulate them, is a matter of &mufti, but certain it is, that the one above-mentioned, either originated with, or has been. freely mentioned by pretty high authorities here; and, as if there might be some reason to expect such a thing, there bas been grot bustle here for three days past, planting cannon in !very fortified part, and even in many parts where there are net any fortifica tions at all. General CARO, the brother of the Mar. quis ROSIANA, is certainly coming here to replace the present Captain-General, and with him a conside table force. u PORLIBR had reached Ordennes, about twenty. six or twentycight English miles from this piece, or 2-thirds of the way to Santiago, when at midnight, on ifriday, the serjeants of the regiments who Were with him, having combined together, surrounded the -. ' house in Which he was, and took him and** Maas prisoners : the leader of this gang has been made Cap tain for his able services, having previously fingered some cash -from a codas clan of people, whose purses are generally pretty well lined in this country.' " It was last night stated publicly at supper, in the presence of a great many Officers and others, by a person from Santiago, that if PORLIER had arrived (here, he would have been instantly joined by every soldier in the place; and the people here do net scruple to say openly, that all the Officers now here, who talk so largely about traitors, treachery, loyalty, Uc. &c. if PoRLIER had not been betrayed in the way he was, would have joined him to a man, and been glad of the opportunity; but I have heard and seen a little of Spanish Officers. It is, however, a certain fact, that the serjeants who effected this business, are scouted by all classes of the army, and are ashamed to skew their faces. An Officer of Marines told me yesterday that one of them was sent to receive some orders from him, and t h e rascal never once looked him in the face, but appeared snore like a thief that, had escaped the gallows, than any other character he could describe. 44 PORLIES had intimated to the Merchants, the he should want a million of reales (or fifty thousand dollars), which would have been provided for him in two days. Mr. --, a most respectable man here, had provided him a considerable amount, and in consequence has been compelled to take Frendi have: one or two others of the Merchants, known liberakt, have also thought it prudent to adopt the same came. At the beginning of the week, a de- Vutation of Merchants waited on the Captain-Gene ral, and told him, that as they should have had to provide Powell with a million hai he remained, they would make him the same offer, to be levied, tiro rata, on the Merchants, Shopkeepers, and utb cr 44 Amongst other things which occurred on the day the Revolution broke out, was a precious specimen of the influence of the Priests: they sent round to all the families in the town, desiring (visa. commanchn:) them to come immediately to Con fession on such an important occasion; and threaten. ing with every thing that is terrible those who should neglect it—non•uhrolution, excommunication, and worse than that, no doubt. Whether any food for the I/0/ 5 Inquisition has arisen out of this or not, I cannot say ; for as secrecy is one of their doctrines, it is very difficult to learn facts of this kind. 46 I enclose you various Proclamation' whist' have been brought forth by this affair." The following are the Proclamations, on occasion of the Lite events, of which we yesterday gave extracts " Faithful and Loyal Ga!titian., brave and honoured Soldiers —Yoe have reaped the fruit of your loyalty, your presence alone, without umheathing the sword, has placed in your hands the perfidious traitors. The wbple world would have beheld pro digies of valour if you bad load to measure y our arms with the of the infamous rebel. Noble sereasts du no: merit to be stabled with vile blood; the glory.is for you 3 but the Chiefs of the Spa nish armies, the illusaicurs Patron St. lag°, had reserved this victory for himelf. His city and his holy temple were threat ened with being profaned by the execrable footsteps of a traitor, and he who thought to enchain you, enters the city to-day, ar rested, anti amidst the publit: hatred and execration. Enjoy the fruits of good order and peac4, and expect from so jugt rc reign the recompense of your Imalty. " The Military Governor, Jose, Peace. " Santiago, Slid September, 1845" " To Messieurs, the Commandant, Captains, ikc. of the illus trious territory of Tubeyros—The capkal city of Santiago, a'id the whole Oallician people, bless your loyalty .utd love to yo.ir Sovereign. No province in the kingdom yields to you in t b_ se sentiments, which are the character of all the Gallkians; but for you was reserved the glory of being the first to hasten on the wings of your love to the succour of your capital. On the same day that the report of the rebellion sounded amongst this people, it was represented to us by your worthy Chiefs, the lac. D. Manuel Bodine, and D. F. Pettey% that they would place at our disposal 5000 valiant Oallicians, trained and crowned with laurels in the wars which they waged with the tyrant Napoli c.:, during his invasion of this kingdom, and in less than four day they had assembled 3000 men. Happy proximity to Santiago, how will you be envied by all the GaUicians I Console your selves, illustrious Patriots, for if those of Tobeyros anticipated you, it was as your representatives, and to share with you their glory. The tutelar Patron of Spain, and the glory of this most faithful kingdom, took it upon him to dispel the storm by the arrest of the traitor and his officers; and satisfied with your ' seal for the houour of his holy temple and city, he would not keep you from the labours of the harvest which you had so gene• rously abandoned. I, In the name of your Sovereign, give you all, and each in particular,the most entire thanks; and shall take are to make hint acquainted with your loyalty. " Joss,.
