In the heat of' the encounter, Captain Pernice was tilled and General Franceschetti wounded, as well 15 sven other persons in the suite of Murat. While the action was most lively. the two vessels fled. The whole expedition of General Murat was corn. of six vessels ; four fell into the hands of his P ;'.l:,esty's marine : the oth. r two were pursued. tt is said. that another embarkation had put on s !1 , :e, on the coast ct Licosa, three ernissaries, c:..:r:ed with criminal oper.itions.. is event has not in the least disturbed our trait. Every where is preserved a calm worthy 01 A nation, the friend of order, and tenderly attached wits legitimate sovereign. The pnliCe, which was g ccuainted with the most secret desizns of Murat, k h i disposed every thing in such a manner that pub. fic order might not suffer : but its measures bore ;always the character of a paternal government. Al. though it was known that Murat attempted to plunge the country into all the horrors of anarchy and civil w ,, r , t he government never permitted, in the whole extritt of the kingdom, a single individual to be ar t c,t,d ; so deeply convinced was it sif the fidelity of its subjects. This does honour to the beast of the King, who was not deceived in thus confiding to the devoted affection of his people. History will remember with honour the zeal of the generous inhabitants of Pizzo. The benefits of his Majesty towards them, and the noble conduct of the judicial authorities, civil and military, who have all, on this occasion, acquired new rights to the affection c f the King, and to the esteem of the nation. Murat was taken before a military Commission, con demned to death, and shot this day at three o'clock. NAPLES, OCTOBER 18. Murat was tried by a military commission, and by the same law made by himself two years since, which erdereJ, that any person landing in this country, with an intent of disturb;ng the public tranquillity, was to Lee tried and shot. He suffered on Friday last, at four o'clock,p. w. He had a confessor, but would neither sit down nor have his eyes blindfolded. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. NEXT TUESDAY, ALL THE 3 PRIZES OF X 50,000, AND THE 4 PRIZES OF .eto,ooo, IN GOVERNMENT STOCK, MAY BE DRAWN, AND THE VALUE RE CEIVED IN MONEY ON DEMAND. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1815: XING WILLIAM 111. LANDltele...HOildiy at the Bank; No business•of a public nature was transacted this morning at the Stock Exchange, it being a holiday, but private bargains were done at a depression cf 14 in Omnium since yesterday : Omnium being yester day morning at 16, and this 141. This is attributed tormlavourable priyate accounts from Paris, and also to the great number of sales which have taken place within these few days by the public ; another reason is stated, that a great quantity of money, recently sent to this country for the purchase of Stock, has ben countermanded, from the unsettled state of affairs on the Continent. Last night we received the Paris Papers of the Is instant (Wednesday). In the ifoniteur there is a transcript front the Official Journal of the Neapolitan Government, giving a few particulars of the progress and close of the last mad enterprize of the late Revo lutionary Yrs° of NAPLICS. He met with no support whatever on his landing on terra firma : on the con trary, the population instantly Mew to arms to oppose him and his mischievous projects, defeated and made him prisoner. He was instantly Died by a Military Commission ; condemned, and executed at three o'clock on the afternoon of the 13th ult.—The offi cial details ate, however, but dry, and comparatively utiimeresting. So singular an event—one calculated to furnish so many moral lessons, should not have been passed over Kith the mere routine announcement which would characterize the execution of a poor wretch hanged for stealing—perhaps bread to satisfy his hunger. Mutat was a villain of no common stamp. He Lel- Lot the deep cunning—the strength of intellect which frequently marks the plans of the most wicked of mankind; but what he wanted in judgment was made up in ferocity, in obduracy of heart, in a seard tess of conscience which defied the access of any compunctions which could for a moment suspend or impede the execution of the foulest crimes. In eases of common atrocity, the death of a mise rable victim of offended justice, especially vi hen hastened by something resembling an act of insanity, (as in the case now bi fore us) excites commiseration. But, alas, we have before us, on the present occa sion, the bloody page of history in which the assassi ration of the gallant, the youthful, the loyal, ::nd t:.e accomplished Duke D'ENoutem is recorded, and in which this very low-born, illiterate ruffian, MustaT, acted virtually as his executioner. " Before day-light, on the morning of the 21st of March, 1804," says the historian, 66 General MURAT, under an escort of Manelukes, each carrying a torch, arrived at the Castle of Vincennes: he was accom panied by four Aides-de-camp, and Genet als Enna an Is i"TIER, Dunoc, MAIN, and Louts BONAPAnTE, will came on purpose from the coast to witness the execution. Italian troops, upon whom alone Mostar could depend, bad previously surrounded the Castle, and guarded all the approaches. '!'lie Duke had been fiv days and five nights fed upon bread and w a:et : he was not allowed, during that time, to lie upon a bed, to dress or shave himself : linen he had ,none. From the weight of his irons and the fatigue of his journey (for CAULAINCOUrT gave him no rest) he could scarcely stand. The Jailor announced to him, by order of MURAT, that his sentence was to be immedia tely exlcuted. l I am ready, and re signed,' said tlw Duke. •• The Jailor then informed him that the grenadiers of BcltiA PA RT BIS Italian Guards waited for him at the door, and were to execute the sentence. • Thank GOD, they are not Frenchmen—l am condemned by a Forvigner, And, GOD be praised, my Executioners ate ah,o Foreigners—it will be a stain less upon my coutat men !' He then advanced with a firm pace to the tatal "pot, and lifting his hands to HEATBN, w,tiuiut regarding the gloomy countenancs of the 'assassins around him, he exclaimed •••••• May Goa preserve my King, and deliver my country from the yoke of the foreigner !' Ile then looked stedfastly at the grenadiers, whose pieces had been levelled during his ejaculation, by order of MURAT. • Friend:!' said he: •• You have no friends here," growled the voice of a Barbarian from the crowd—it was that of MURAT. • Grena diers, then, (said the DUKE) lower your arms, other. wise you will miss me, or only wound me.' The word • Fire' was then given by MURAT : seven of the nine grenadiers hit him; two balls passed through the head, and five through the body. A small coffin, filled with lime, was then produced, and after being stripped of a valuable diamond brooch, either by the hand: or ly the kection of MURAT hisueN the body was thrown into a grave dug in the garden. An Aide-de-Camp was dispatched by MURAT to Mal maison, where BONAPARTE then was, with a verbal account of the murder. •• The brooch above alluded to as taken from the Duke's person, was sold by MURAT, or some of his gang, to a jeweller in Paris; by him it was transmit. ted to an agent in London, in order to offer it for sale to the Prince of CONDE and the Duke of BOUR. BON, the Duke d'EmustEa's father and grandfather." A Mail from Holland and the Netherlands arrived to•day. and Swiss Papers arrived yesterday.

The march of the Russian troops through this city on their return from France is ended, but we expect shortly, a corps of 6000 fresh troops from Russia to complete those that remain in France. AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, OCTOBER U. Our Gazette of to•say states, under the article Paris, that as long as the Allied troops remain in Fra.,ce, the King of France is not to be allowed to keep tip a greater army than 100,000 men.

The PrII)5i.::1 troops leave but a small quantity of artillery in Loligv y, Montmedy, and Sedan, sending most of the cannon to Wesel and Magdeburg. The forty pieces of beefy artillery, with four howitzers, be longing to those taken at Waterloo, and lately sent to Namur, ale intended to be employed in that for tress, which will be made very strong, and greatly enlarged. HAGUE, OCTOBER 28. The Address drawn up by the Second Chamber. and approved by the First, in answer to his Majesty's Speech on opening the States-General, is as follows: • Sint: — lt is at the font of your throne that we 13y the expression of our respectful gratitude, for the first communications which your Majesty has deigned to make to us, at the solemn opening of the present ordinary sc,sion. Y,,ur Majesty has given us a prospect of peace, repose, and increasing prosperity, which' will render the public burthens supportable. the exertion of all the efforts which you have a right to ez;ect from the'na tion, possible. Your Majesty has not concealed from us, that this future prosperity must be purchased by momentary sacrifices ; that the independence of our country is asserted, and fortified by extraordinary sacrifices; and that for this reason the national trea sury requires an extraordinarT 6 addition. " But this independence is net purchased at too high a price ; and we may therefore expect that all 'lw measures proper to repair the evils we have suf fered, will be accepted willingly, the national ho. nour being maintained, and our future security gua ranteed. All the burdens cannot but be voluntarily supported, since your Majesty's wise foresight has established the proportional repartition of it over all classes, and a certain number of years. We expect, therefore, with confidence, the demands of inevitable sacrifices, and the proposals for the wants of the en. suing year, as well as the means necessary to cover them, when all the parts of the kingdom shall concur in supporting the edifice of the State in common. We consider also the general introduction of the laws concerning the militia, appropriated to circumstances, as a pledge of our security. " Our young men, by bravely s'..edding their blood, have already fixed the seals of approbation to this great and wholesome institution. The relations with other Powers, with our high Allies, are fixed by your Majesty in such a manner as to open the ancient, channels of our commerce and national industry, et to form new ones ; and when the peace of Europe, which your Majesty holds up to us as near at hand,' shall be assured, we shall soon feel the salutary effeett of that repose which is ri necessary to our happiims, and which will allow us to employ our whole atten tion to puhlic education, to 0:4; art l, to the sciences, and all useful and advantagemis establishments. " It will be our most ardent ilesire to co-operate in the high and noble 'designs of your Majesty, and our object to have at heart the interests of the nation.. Your Majesty shall always find us ready, with the aid of the MOST Hiatt, to weigh seriously,' without partiality, and with concord, the importaat interests for which we are convoked." 7ILE AR Mr. OUR ARMY IN FRANCE. Private letters from Paris, of the 31st ultimo, re ceived this morning, say To-morrow the army go into cantonments for the winter. The sixth divi sion goes to St. Germain ; the second, to Versailles; the third (this), to Boulogne, St. Cloud, Neuilly, and Clichy ; the seventh, to Montmartre and the villages near St. Dennis; and . the first division to this place, (Passay).—lt is impossible, however, to form any correct idea of the distribution of our army onti): finally arranged. I fancy some part must go home wards, but what regiments or numbers, is quite un certain." Thursday, Major-General Sir GaORGE Comm ar rived at Canterbury, to assume the command of the Kent district. Same day, the East Kent regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry assembled in Cantetbury, far two days exercise.

On Monday the Prince in spected the public establishments, the principal ma nufactories, and all the monuments of the city. On Tuesday, the fl•tth, he left Lyons. It is undersruqd that he entertained, at his departure, a sense of ate fidelity and devotion of the Lyonnais. That sentiment alone could soften the grief which they felt at being so scion separated from this adored Prince." Letter of Prince Burman to General MUFFLIN, in justification of his conduct in removing the Pictures and Statues belonging to Prussia : " Paris, Oct. 19, 1815. " Sia—As my conduct bas been publicly animadverted upon, .for not having allowed the property plundered from Prussia by a Banditti to remain in the Museum of the Louvre, I have only to remark, that Ably supported by the illustrious Ws Lusto rom, I pursued thieves who had despoiled maoy of the nations of Eu rope of tbrir inestimable Monuments of the Fine Arta; I at tacked and dispersed them, and restored to my country the plun der they had unjustly taken, spurning the idea of negotiating with the French Commissioners on that sul•jeer.
