WORCESTER, JULY sa. FROM Niknana.—Tuesday the Lady of the Lake arrived off Fort NiAgar., from Sackett's Harbour; ?fi jor lir.tun, who came in her, brought orders to the Commanding Officer on. this station for the troops which had left. and which were leaving this place for at. a 'rut uestioations, to return and continue here until furft , er orders. In consequence of which the 10th and 12th regiments, which had embarked, were land ed. The sth Ilvd proceeded too fir to be counter .d. T' e 4th had sailed for S Ickett's Harbour brfnre the orders were received. The 16th had been ordered into Ni tgara. The cause of this movement •. i• not certainty known. It is however probably oc. c tsionetl by the expectitinn of a war with the Wes tern hi...lions, who have latety manifested a disposi. Con to ri n e w bn,tilities.

RI: /W M' of Mt PARSZCUTION of the SPAWN! P4l Though the designs of Ft:id:rand VII. were well known moment of his arrival in Spain, and thane+ every intelligent person believed that the Cortes would be dissolved, and that the national re pre.entatires would not be again assembled, yet no one could persuade himself that the Deputies to the Cortes, and the majority of the patriots who had so 'ltaly distinguished themselves in the war of the Pen nsula, by their heroic services, and by their de votion to the independence of their country, would have been the victims of an or grateful persecution. In order to be able to form a correct idea of the injustice with which these unfottunate individuals hay.• been treated, it is unnecess ary to do more than to trace a sight comparative sketch of the patriotic conduct of the persecuted, and of that of the Judges appointed by- the King to try them. The Deputies imprisoned at Madrid in consequence of the events which began on the 10th of May, 1814, were the following Senors Senors ArgueSeg, T)eputy fur Asturias, Ruiz Padmn, for the Canaries, lola - tines to u Rnea,lor Grenada, Ramos Arispr, for Waco, Cain rava, ier F.treniadura, C. pert., for Cadiz, Zorratitsin, for Madriel, hitinna . l'orrero,ror Est renaadors Garcia Herrera., lur soda, Oliv cr.'s, for ditto, Viliallittita. for Valencia, Caps, inr Cadiz, 7.

Peru, , Ganrt,a, for Zamora, Garcia Page, for Cuenca, 'Touts Mae bf , for Valencia, Traver, for Valencia, Golfiti, fur Jr et tamed tes a, it we Yukon, for the Canaries. All these individuals, well known in Spain, and, many of them in foreign countries, for their attach. :mot to the cause of the independence of their coun try, were, and continue prisoners, like so many male facto, s, althi,ugh tin re are among them ecclesiastics • of great di s ..ity and no common merit, respectable itn.igistratt s, military men covered with wounds, and, ice fitle, men of honour, whose only crime was that of baring always preferred the welfare of their country to their own interests; of having discharged the func tions of legislators in virtue of the toil powers which they had sectived from their respective provinces, and of haviog sanctioned a constitution conformable to the general will of the,Spanish people, and posi tively recognised by borne of the anted powers, while it was tacitly acknowledged by others. It is impossible to recollect without grief, the atro cious manner in which the distinguished deputy ;and patriot Aetillon was treated. The persons charged by tie government to take him into custody, though they found him in bed, afflicted with a very dange. row disorder, tare him from it, in order to convey him in a cart hum the village of his residence to the city of Saragossa, thns totally regardless of the laws of humanity, and de.if to the reflections which could not tail to be excited by the deplorable situation of she sick man, vitikettied in the cart in which he was convey cd before hiving at the place of his des- Besides the abbfernentinned deputies, many other indi e•doals of eharacter were also Imprisoned: among thew Ore Admiral Valdes, who WAS governor of Cp diz during the siege, dad one of the most decided patriots, Who parented five ships of the line from failing into tie ids e f the "tench, and who was covered +rt l l two ds vaile fighting against them in the celebtated hat' of Espinosa; Lieutenant-General Copse, the defend p 1 Tarifa, and General in Chief !['the' fitrat arbyi. of trio?. is f yillacampa, Cover. itiof 'Madrid, sind Cireireral 14 the Division which bore his pa pt woo ctaulticied the war so successf wry fgainst the thurper is the South of Arragon ; 1111 U the Ex-Minister at War, Osposojo ; the Camp-Mar shal Porlier, so well known for his exploits, when un der the name of the Hammitt, he commanded his division in the Asturias; and the Camp-Marshal Aguirre, one of the intrepid defenders of Saragossa, who has died in prison. Among them are also various other officers of me rit, such as Brigadier Don Juan Moscoso, and Lieu tenant-Colonels the Conde de Torre-Nueva, Don Jacobo Escario. Don Luis Landabura, and Don Joachim Esc ;aio of the General Staff, Brigadier Mnreda, fitc. Lieutenant-Geoeral Lacy has been banished, who was General-in-Chief of the Army of Reserve of Gallicia. and who distinguished himself so much in the war of the Peninsula. In,fact it may be observed, that almost all the Chies who conducted the war with success have been disgraced, imprisoned, or banished. The following also have been imprisoned :—Senors Agar and Ciscar, celebrated mathematicians, and members of the tegency ; Alvarez Guerra, Minister of the Interior; Cano Manuel, Es-Minister of Grace and Justice ; Quintana, secretary of the king and in terpreter of languages ; the Conde de Noblejas, mar shal of Castile. and his brother Don Ramon de Chaves; Domenech, political chief of Madrid; Ace vedo, the same for the Asturias, Btc. ke. Every Journalist who supported the character of the Government during the Revolution. is either a fugitive, or groans in dungeons, or has been can t destined to banishment, or to the fortresses. This, however, can be no ground of wonder, when it is known that the number of persons in prison, in Spain, for their political opinions, is supposed to exceed 51,000. Leaving nut of view the question of legal autho rity in the King, to bring to trial the Deputies of the nation, who acted in virtue of the unlimited powers which they had received from the provinces they re presented at the very time when the nation had been left to its fate by the King, it is necessary to point out still further the contravention of those ancient laws of Spain which regulate the forms of trial ; and we shall likewise give some biographical notices of the Judges who compose the Special Commission named by the King for the sole purpse of deciding these causes, because the Tribunal of the Alcaldes of the Court, to which the commission was first given, twice refused to take cognizance of them. In the first place one of thew Judges, Senor La sanca, was at the same time judge, witness, and ac cuser. The principal charges brought against the Deputies were, the baring approved of the two Dr. creel of the let of January, 1811. and of the It of February, Ibl4, upon the conduct which the army and the authorities should observe in case the King should present himself on the frontiers of the king dom, either surrounded with the troops of Bonaparte, or tinder his influence. These two decrees, known in almost all Europe, and particularly by the Allied Powers, were highly applauded for the patriotic sen timents with which they abound ; particularly the latter decree, which was justly celebrated in England, because it annulled the peace concluded at Valency between King Ferdinand and Bonaparte Beside these charges of accusation, was that of not having approved in the Cortes a motion made by Father Ostolaza, wtio is at present one of the princi pal of the' King's Councillors. Almost all the other charges, as being ridiculous, may be passed over in silence ; but it is not possible to do the same with regard to the acts of illegality committed in the conduct of the trials. The chief el these illegal acts were, that almost all the sentences were passed, when the proceises were still in a state of siiimario—that is, before the accused could defend themselves; before they had brought forward wit nesses for their exculpation ; which is the same as if its England the accused were condemned oison no other evidence than that of the Coroner's Inquest ; for that which in Spain is called the **marl, of a process, ,is nothing else but the first information. - Those processes, in which a more regular course has been pursued, abound with a thousand other invali datory circumstances. Among these one of the most shocking is. :hat of the persons accused having been prevented from defending themselves in person be fore the tribunal,. which the laws of Spain authorise them to do. It would, however, require volumes to detail all the Acts of injustice committed in Spain since the return of the King, whose ungrateful conduct towards his best defenders and servants, is well known through out all Europe. What has been said on this heal is quite sufficient, and let us now advert to the politi cal conduct during the invasion of the Peninsula, pursued by the judges appointed by the King. The President, Lieutenant-General 1)on Joseph Arteaga, was in Ceuta during almost all that period, and there. fore never saw a single enemy, which is certainly no high compliment to his valour and patriotism. He however might pass for a good patriot by the-side of' his colleagues in the Commission, which is composed of four other individuals besides himself. The,first of these is the Conde del Pinar, who at the begin. ning of the insurrection in 1808, was sent into the Asturias, in order to preach obedience and submis sion te she intrusive mammoth He fulfilled his coot , mission with so much zeal, that be was within an inch of being cut in pieces through a popular coin. motion in the town of Oviedo, which was allayed, among others, by Don Alvaro Flores de Estrada, who was at that time Procurator-General of the prin cipality of the Asturias, but whose great services, arid his having been the first authority that in. Stain dechired war against Bonaparte, have been insuffi cient to protect him from the present persecution, and he is now a refugee in England. The second person in the Commission, Senor Ga. liano, was one of the Judges or the Criminal Junta, established at Madrid the Frani :imminent. It appears that it has always been his fate to persecute the patriots. In 1809, he persecuted, in the name of Joseph Napoleon, the defenders of the independence of his country, as in 11114. under Ferdinand VII. he .condethned as criminals the patriots who had fought and bled in the same cause. The third, Senor . Lasanca, who, as mentioned above, appears under the triple character of miniver, witness, and judge, signed an humble and iespeatio exposition which the Council of Castile addressed kb Bonaparte, in which they begged an individual of his family , for King of Span!. ' The fourth is Scour Mosquer4 f Auditor oittle•All dictr4i4 of the caraccss, who, when. news arrived in 'bat cooatrf 9f the lOdicatien of Charles 11e. aid Ferdinand VIT. at %yow l aid sa in his power to procure Iffurat's being acknowle.iged in the Caraccas as General Vice-gerent of the kingdom. It is necessary to observe drat these gentlemen took the oath to the Constitution framed by the Cortes, the first as a Member of the Council of Castile, the' second and third as Deputies, and the fourth as Pre sident of the Regency, which has given occasion to one of the most singular concurrences that can be imagined, and which is as follows : On the trial of Admiral Valdez, one of the questions put its him was, 4 . Why did you cause the Constitution to he.' sworn in Cadiz ?" To which the Admiral answered, l " Because I was commanded to (io so by Senor Mos quera, then President of the Regency, end now judge in my cause." Some individuals, although not many, have suc ceeded in withdrawing themselves from persecution, seeking an asybas in foreign countries. The most distinguished among them is the Conde Tonne, Deputy of t' , e Cones, well known in England under the title of Viscount Matarosa, as having been the first diplomatic agent who appeared in that country requesting assistance in the war against Bonaparte t i Senors Ysturiz, Diaz del Moral, Qoarrem, Rodrigo, and Caneja, Deputies of the Cones ; Senor Loyando, Minister of State; the Governors of Segovia, Sant an. der, and several other individuals ; without including in this list ;he two Generals Mina, of whom the first raised in Navarre the division which bore his name, and the second succeeded bins in the command when he lue made prisoner.

SWIEZIIIILANU, AUGUST The Duke of B .ssano was arrested on the 4th of this month by the Swiss croups, in the Castle of Al lama°. He had been there with his fatuity for a tew days, and received already the refusal of the Council of the Canis.n of the V.4l.iis to his request of being al- lowed to reside in the Valais. In support of this re quest, Mr. Maret :hewed a letter from the Minister of Police at Paris, of the 13th of July, addressed to the Duke of Bassani), and stating, that the Duke of Otranto, on applying for the King's orders, had been autharised by his Majesty to give him passports to Switzerland and to Lucca. He then produced two passports, made out for him in the King's name, un der the date of July 14; these are signed by the Mi. nister of Police, and countersigned by Prince Palley. rand, Minister for Foreign Affairs; they are granted for two years, and good for two months, in order to leave Prince in this space of time, and go either to Switzerland or Tuscany.

The bonus of the Sereions screw their native soil ; the corpses of their bravest warriors, pierced with pious wounds. cover the banks of the Danube; burial is denied them, and their still palpitating limbs are devoured by dogs and wild beasts ; the towns in ashes, th e villages burnt and smoking, the churches profan e d, thrown down, destroyed, .the priests deliv e r e d up to the most hots ible punishments—such is the hightail contrast which Servia presents, by the side of the brilliant fetes and tumultulus pomp of the Congress. —Ye aho represent the interests of Europe, it you arrest not the torrent in its course, if you look on with indifference and see your brethren sacrificed, if, slaves to abject passions and criminal jealousies, roc permit a falling edifice to be cemented with the blood of Christians, if you entertain the idea of saving an empire marked with the seal of reprobation, woo to you,ao your dynasties, and alliances." THE MOST ESSENTIAL MINE' OF VIEW FOR FRANCE. . • [FROM Ilia AHEM'S MERCURY.) A Frenchman, and a thorouglioAced Frenclimsa said lately to one of our friends in Mayence, " Ire are regretted in Prussia," (On nous regrette en Pruoe). Nothing will persuade the French that they Are not the most amiable, dryer, dexterous, brave, noise, magnanimous, generous, faithful, and adura is people on the face of the earth f This favourati.l opinion of themselves completely pervades the low and the high, the young and the old of both sexes. Wt have no objection to this belief, if they wi s h to serve us, for so long as they obey they make the most obliging servants that can be walled for. But they sent rule; they imagine themselves specially called to exercise a sort of guardianship over koripe. What they wish is nothing more than just—they wish merely to occupy the place which belongs to th-m, nothing more. So lon g as a certainundisputed and substantial preponderance is denied them, ti,ey c sider themselves as insulted. The French Ensa4s,y, at Vienna, however well it played the unuernoict game, because it did woe talk in sudicieinly hiatt language, wounded the vanity of the French nmitin, The demands which they make on the person with acts or speaks in the name of the community are to. cessive. But the possibility of any longer playiag the gre.it Christopher in Europe vanished on the left bank of the Rhine. This loss is unittercitulty g.tts4 to them. Had the Bourbons violated their ovate and disturbed the peat. of Europe; had then t io ai. lesa to all external relations, made an irruption isle Brabant, and fallen upon the country on toe left of the Rhine, they would then have made themselves beloved by the people, and acquired a settlenten; in their hearts. From the wounds indicted on their no tional vanity by external affairs, Bonaparte wAs again seated on the throne. He seemed the fittest instru ment to reinstate them in the conquests wino they bad lost through him. It was thought that he would make this his highest point of honour. But he failed in resolution to advance to Antwerp in the manner be proceeded to Paris. As soon as he loitered in Paris, the moment was lost of surprizing the Netherlands. He then required time to collect forces. Had this man been left to himself; he would have willingly contented-himself with the heritage of the House of Bourbon. But this was not permitted him, and he was nothing it be did not restore the frontier of the Rhine. It would be simplicity and childisboess to heli,a , e that Carnot. Vouclie, and thn ir associates, looked to a Democratic Cohstituti That might be the case 25 years ago—then they were young and unexperienced men; but time c'- lightened them : they have since been in the Iniliot offi:es of state. We cannot have the smallest ooula that thee repossession of the Netherlands was atolls in their eye. But speaking impartially stud without reference to Germany, which never can sulfee Eat,ce again to take posession of the country sat tie 'toga without sealing its own subjugation, we consider the °pillion of the French is irrational and fuol:sh. —The Netherlands are certainly a very poaiiahle possession. But these advantages are ovaoh.ti.in: by the perpetual interference with the atid.r. I:ef neighbours, which would inevitsbly result huh ILi` reinstatement.
