The Dispatches of the General of the district of Oporto, received to-day, are of the sth and 6th, and state that tranquillity continued to prevail, and that the investigation into the conspiracy lately discovered were proceeding. The General 'transmits, also, the dis patches from the General of Minh., and the Governor of Valensa, dated the sth, state, that some letters and anonymous papers had been intercepted on the fron tiers, which contained alarming reports, spread by the Portuguese deserteis, saying they were going to enter in arms into that province ; the inhabitants remained quiet, despising these reports. In all the other provinces nothing has happened to disturb the public tranquillity, according to the dis patches of the respective Generals from the Sd to the 6th inst. (Signed) PEDRO PAUL DE SOUSA. Major &e. llth.—A letter of the 6th inst. from the Conde de Alva,. Commander in Algarve, announces that public tranquillity is uninterrupted, and speaks greatly in praise of the inhabitants in general, and of the public functionaries, both civil and military. Major General Stubbs writes from Oporto on the 7th to the Minister of War, in answer to his enquiry, that he is not aware that there now is, or has, been in that city and its environs, any meeting of persons in arms, attempting to form themselves into a military corps. 14th.—The Gazette contains an official order of the incess Regent, for expediting the proceedings against the disturbers of public tranquility, the favourers of rebellion who have published alarming accounts, done any act?, or uttered seditious language, tending to di vert the minds of the people from the obedience which they owe to their lawful Sovereign. These criminals being taken and examined, are to be allowed five days and no more for their defence, after which the proceedings dull be declared to be closed, chi sentence passed, according to the evidence, and in the manner prescribed by the laws, that the punishment of the guilty may not be deferred, nor the inconvenience sustained by the innocent prolonged. If those con demned desire to plead in arrest of judgment, twenty four hours and no more are to be allowed them. 15th.—The Duke de CAdaval having represented to her Highness the Infanta Regent that it is impossible for him to accept the honourable office of Counsellor of State, her Highness is pleased to exonerate him from that office ; preserving to him, however, the honours of , Counsellor of &ate, as to the other Counsellors of State, by 'hi Degree of 30th October last. • Her Highness has been pleased to confer the dignity of Counsellor of State for life on the Maiquis.de Olhao. Today (the 15th) being the name-day of her Majesty the• Queen Donna Maria Leopoldina, has been obserted with' the usual tere monies. ' The Gazettes to the 16th, 17th, and 18th, contain an• suers to various congratulatory addresses presented to the Empress Regent. The sittings of the two Chambers hare been'very much occupied in matters of foreign and internal regulations. CHAMEER - oF PEER& 'ln the sitting of the 11th, the Conde da Cunha, refeh ring to the Article of the Constitution, which orders that a civil and a criminal. code shall be drawn up, founded on the solid basis of justice and equity, proposed that the sages of the nation should be invited to com pose and present to the Chambers, the civil and crimi nal code founded on the solid bias of the Constitution, and the jurisprudence of the most enlightened natives 'of Europe, and the author or authors of those which should be approved, should receive for the civil code an annual pension of 1,200 milrees, and for the criminal code 800 milrees. This proposal was adopted by the Chamber. In the Sittings of the 13th and 14th, there was a long discussion, on the proposal of the Conde da Lapa, to send an Address to his Majesty Don Pedro, thanking him for giving the Charter to Portugal. It was unani• mously acceded to, and a commission of six Members appointed to present, to the Princess Regent, the Ad- dress from the Chamber of Peers to his Majesty Don Pedro IV. Frankfort Papers to the 22d inst. were received this morning, from which we take the following: FRANKFORT, Nut. 1. - —.... The Dukes of Saxe Coburg Meiningen and Hildbarg hausen, h ,ve published the convention for the partition of the territory of Sase Gotha and Altenburg ; at the same time absolving their subjects in the districts re• spectively ceded from their oath of allegiance. The' Princes express their regret at parting with them, but at the same time console themselves with the reflection, that it is chiefly for their welfare that the Princes make Alit painful sacrifice, and that the change of Sovereigns is only among members of one and the same family, united together by the bonds of friendship, and each bearing the same affection to all the hereditary subjects of the several states. Paris Papers to the 28th instant, have reached us. The Eteile of Monday contains intelligence from Con stantinople, which, if true, is nearly as important and sanguinary as that supplied from the same source in the month of June. 'This horrific intelligence is dated the 26th of October. It states that on the 11th of that month, a fire broke out in the tower newly built by the Sateen's orders at Eski Serai. It was, however, con. sidved suf fi cient to put to death the keepers of the tower, and the Government took no further notice. The spies of the Serasikr learned soon after, that assemblages were taking place at the red. dence of the Keepers of the Imperial Sheepfolds who formed part of the Janissaries, but bad been spared in Jane , because during the events of that period they had remained tranquil. Two thousand five hundred disciplined troops were sent against these keepers, and against about 5,000 individuals who had- formerly belonged to the Janissaries, and amongst whom were many workmen and cooks of the Seraglio. Of these 1,300 were instantly executed, and the rest were carried over to the Asiatic coast. They confessed that a con. ',piracy had been formed by the ei.dewnit Janissaries, who were to assemble in great numbers on the Asiatic coast and to unite with the malcontents in the capital, whilst some intended conflagration should divert the attention of the Governnsent. The Sateen im mediately sent orders to the Pacha hi Aloe, to exterminate all the Janissaries whom be should find, and directed the Captain of the port at Constantinople to prevent the escape by sea of any of them from the coast of . Asia. For this purpose, well-armed war-boats cruised all the time between the two shores. Whilst the executions were going on the Sateen reviewed the newly disciplined corps of the Bostandgis,which was considered an act of great courage, as that corps had frequently given marks of dissatisfaction. Notwithstand ing the complete success of all these sanguinary proceedings, alarm for the future was deep and general. The Government skewed every disposition to do whatever might please the Russian Minister. k had broken oir all communication, with the Persian Agent Doan Ace, and having heard of the reverses of the Persian arms in Georgia, it is said to have greatly'ced at the prudent step which it had taken in accepting the Uldtplatuni. The poor Persian Agent seemed indeed to be avoided by every one except by Mr. Seseeroan Canniest, who bad twice received his visits with out returning them, and by the British Consul General, Who gave him a breakfast, which every other diplomatic person refused to attend. M. Minsterce would not give Mtn a passport for St. Petersburgb, and be was thought to have no choice but to return to Teheran. _ _ _ The Zee& genies in a very distinct manner the probability of a war between Spain and Portugal, and as a proof that all danger of such an event is past, adduces the Amnesty of the Passes's Ram" and the Decree issued by FRILDIMAND respecting the Portuguese Refsgees. No business of importance was transacted in either House of Parliament last night. Several Petitions relative to Elsc dons, the Corn Laws, Ste. were presented; and a very irregular one by Mr. Warrinsur, upon the subject of the Arises Mining Association, after some satisfactory explanations upon the point of propriety and order by the Svwea, was withdrawn by the wonky Alderman. The Resolutions respecting Private Committees pro. posed by Mr. Larrumon, after some conversation were all passed, except the last, which provides that the party complaining shall deposit with the Clerk of the Fees SOW. for the payment of such costs as may eventually be awarded against him. This Resolution was postponed, and agreed to be referred to a Committee.---An, observation by Mr. Hews, respecting the St. Domingo Postage, was satisfactorily answered by Mr. HZILIAIG,' and the Reseletibis for axing certain Rates was unanimously carried. The Corn In demnity Bill was brought in by Mr. HiRILIZO; read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time this day.

The sentence of death was this morning carried into effect, by the public execetion in the Old Bailey of six men, named John Hayes, aged 25 ; James Boyce, 24 ; Hobert King, 20,; John Robinson, 19 ; George Nscholls, 124 ; and James Goulhy, 17. The five Fast named culprits were connected with gangs of desperate rob bers who have lately been the terror of the north eastern part of the Metropolis, and have put the peace able inhabitants of Hackney, Homerton, Bethnal-green, and Haggerston, under contribution at various times in the most audacious and lawless manner. The gang was called " The Bethnal-green Gang r and their desperate violence appearing to increase, the inhabitants memorialised Mr. Secretary Peel, who immediately ordered a strong body of well mounted horse patrol to be stationed through the district, which in some measure suppressed the alarming evil. The offences of the five unhappy men occurred previous to this regulation, and was, as usual, accomplished by violence and terrific menace. A bullock being first furiously driven through the streets, followed by the gang, who knocked down and plundered every body of decent dress, and rifled the shops in the route which the mad and hotly pur , sued animal took. Monday and Tuesday orders were given to the City Marshals who have charge of the scaffold, and the police at the exterior of Newgate upon such awful occa sions, to make such arrangements as would check the great pressure likely to be caused at this execution, by the congregating of the immense crowds it was ex pected would attend, and accordingly that expectation was fully realised. The Old Bailey upon no former occasion, not even when Fauntleroy and the Conspirators suffered, pre sented a greater or mote dense mass of persons. How ever, large additional barriers were erected at the di:- tance of twenty or thirty yards from each other in the' Old Bailey, down nearly as low as the Sessions House on one side, and across Holborn, Giltspur, and New gate-streets on the other side a huge railing was also raked across the area or opening fronting St..Sepulchre's Church. These preparations were pot up' during the night, and had the effect of breaking the crowd—thus in some measure, checking the pressure ana preventing accidents. As early as five o'clock, groups of people, evidently from the vicinity of Bethnal-green locked /tato the Old Bailey, and took up positions near the ponderous machine of death, and until seven o'clock, the streets from all quarters of the metropolis presented ' a thronged and unusual appearance of persons, locking in a hurried manner in the direction of the Old Bailey, which before this period was completely choked up, so much so, that the City Marshals could not obtain a passage to their station near the scaffold, and were obliged to go through Mr. Wontner's house. Every win dow that could command even a bird's eye of the platform was full of persons, and upon many places at the front of the houses, persons were seen clinging to signs and pro- jections in the wall, at the imminent risk of their liter to gratify a curiosity (almost inexcusable), caused by the great and unusual terror the " Bethnal-green Gang " had caused throughout the Metropolis. Among the crowd, as might be supposed from the great pressure caused by such a mass of persons, considerable confusion prevailed, and several persons were dragged out, who had fainted from exhaustion produced by the pressure. —While this scene prevailed at the exterior of the prison, the sad groups within were preparing for their public and dreadful death, by fervent entreaty and ejaculation to that Benevolent Surma BEING, who' alone could extend mercy to them hereafter, and endow them with strength and fortitude to go through the awful scene of quitting this world with resignation. The Rev. Ordinary of Newgate,Mr.CoTree,vrith that gie.st religious perseveranie and humanity for which he is so remarkable, assisted byMr. Baker al the Tower, at teoded King, Robinson, Goulby, Boyce, and Nicholls; and Hayes was attended, being of the Romau.. Catholic persuasion, by the Rev,John Devereaux, of Moorfields Chapel. Under such care the unhappy men soon became fully sensible of the great enormity of their crimes, and of the necessity for penitence, to be enabled to meet that ALIMITY BEING, against whose sacred dictates they had passed their whole hires. The arrival of the warrant of execution was a shock which, as might be supposed, calculated to shake the _firmest serve, but it was succeeded by one still mote harrowing to the feelings, namely, the parting of the wretched criminals from their parents, ,and other rela tions. The unhappy boy,.Goollsy, could scarcely leer. his poor mother, who clung with the tenacity of as expiring gras b. to her unfortunate child. She was cab. vied ried out in strong convulsions. The demeanour of the entire six of the wretched convicts was fully expressive •f contrite religious feel ing, totally diffdent from thus sudden enthusiasm which too often, but momentarily, pass across the climinore mind, and which proceeds from that kind of fear of - consequences which the penitence engendered in a gaol produces. They were most anxious, since the arrival of the order for execution, to participate in religiona exercises, and devoted themselves with unceasing appli cation to prayer and entreaty to HLA YEN for forgive- ness. Hayes being a Roman Catholic, generally was alone; and when attended by the Reverend Clergyman, 'withdrew to another cell, where he availed himself of those favours which the Roman Catholic persuasi , .n ordain as necessary in preparation for death. The culprits passed the greater pin of the last night in sleep, but as early as five o'clnck were attended by their respective dingy men.—Mr. Sheriff Winchester, Mr. Sheriff Farebrother, the Under Sheriffs, and four of their Officers, with black wands, arrived a few minutes before eight o'clock, and proceeded direct to the Press-room, where the unhappy Hayes stood praying with clasped hands. He was dressed in white trousers and a short Velveteen jacket : his demeanour. was marked by composure and serenity. In answer to the 'question proposed to him, he said he was perfectly resigned, and prepared for death. While the officers were pinioning his arms he raised his hands repeatedly, and exclaimed, " Oh Goa! be merciful to toe, a poor sinner I"—" Loan look down upon me When pinioned, he sat and prayed with great fervour for sevetal minutes, and indeed until he was struggling in death, his lips moved with unceasing ejaculation of prayer. As the chimes were striking the hour of eight, the walls resounded with the voices of the unformede men singing a penitential psalm ; when this was con. eluded, King was brought into the room; he appeared. quite subdued and resigned, and merely said, " I ana happy." Nicholls next appeared: he trembled much. • but appeared Teri penitent. He• thanked the Sheriff's Qs Mr. Wontner, and begged their prayers. He was so weak that the Officers held him until he was pinioned. It was stated when the wretched men were assembled* in the Press Room, that for a considerable time past no persons in a similar situation had displayed greater contrition, extreme religious feeling and penitence, than was pourtrayed by these unhappy men. At a quarter past eight o'clock they were led to the scaffold, which was ascended first by Hayes, followed in succession by Nicholls, Goulby, Robigson, Boyce, and King. The moment Goulby came upon the platform, several persons in the crowd shrieked in a dreadful manner, and called out, 44 Oh, - poor James." " Oh, poor boy. GOD help you, poor child, you were led into it," &c. Those persons were said to be relations of his. Two persons were ar the swine moment lifted into the win dows of a house, having fainted. Goulby bowed ; and, raising his bands, burst iota -tears; the cap was then drawn over his face. The cries in thc crowd continued ; and as each of the other unhappy men ascended, they were recognized by some voice in the immerse* crowd; and,- eonsequently, the most heart-rending cries were heard in all directjeda, which appeared to produce great agitation in the crowd, and several persons were observed crying with the utmost bitterness. The unfortunate Boyce raised his hands to his lips, and bowed several times, exclaiming " Goo bless you aIL" The con tagious in the crowd increased as the executioner adjusted the ropes ; and the cries became se piercing, that the Sheriffs withdrew into the prison vestibule, sensibly affected. The caps being drawn over the convicts' faces, prevented their recognising the many persons who so bitterly deplored their awful exit. At half-past o'clock the executioner withdrew from the scaffold, and the multitude in stantly was hushed into stillness. For a minute the most death-like silence prevailed, here and there interrupted by the sobs of some, and. an ejaculation of prayer from the scaffold. During that awful pause, a part of the Burial Service was read by Mr. Cotton ; and, upon a signal, the drop fell, and the unhappy men were suspended. A load cry burst from the multitude, and the shrieking continued for several minutes after the unhappy men had ceased to live. Goulby, Boyce, and Robinson, struggled in strong agony for a minute. The others died instantly. The affecting cries of the many who knew the prisoners, could be heard within the prison, and exdted some alarm, as at first the cause of them was not ascertained, and it wu apprehended some catastrophe had occurred ; we have not heard of any accident. The immense crowd quietly dispersed, and shortly before 10 o'elocls ‘ the Old Bailey was as clear of persons as upon ordinary occasknies WINTER ASSIZES.

Thursday eveniag, between five and six o'clock, as two Officers of the lid Dragoon Guards, stationed in our Smacks. were driving a gig down Lower Moseley-street, the vehicle, owing to the obstinacy of a carter, became jammed between two carts, ha • such *manner as seriously to endanger their lives.

So intent wore they on their banquet, that his presence did not excite alarm, and In endesnrouring to separate one of them from the corpse he was obliged to kill it. After the Jury was sworn, they viewed the body, which lay in a miserable ink, enveloped in a piece of old sacking. without any other covering whatever..
