SO c. Spanish Papers to the29th ult. have been received, and contain the following articles of intelligence : MADRID, AUGUST se. We have received accounts from the Barbary coast of the 10th July, which state that a most dreadful insurrection had broke out in the army of the Em peror of Morocco, and that one of the regiments of the Guards having received orders to escort that sovereign from Rabat to Morocco, refused to obey, and marching to Fez, committed there the greatest excesses, plundering and murdering all the inhabi tants, especially the Jews. They afterwards marched against Tetuan, but the inhabitants being informed of their approrch, prepared to defend themselves, and compelled them to retreat. The EMPEROR ar rived at Morocco with the few troops who remained faithful to him, but he had not taken any measure wha'ever to reduce the rebels to obedience. These accounts had thrown the whole country into consternation, and entirely prohibited com merce of every kind. The Patriotic Society of Oviedo have received, from one of its Members at Lisbon, a communication containing the names of the Mem bers of the Apostolic Junta, established at Vi%na de Mino, under the direction of General Wilson, or dered to be taken by the Portuguese Government, in consequence of the dispositions of the Spanish Go vernment.

Extract of a Letter from the Havannah, dated the 24th of July : " have nothing to communicate that is gratifying. The stagnation of business here is so great, that quotations of prices are unless.

TRIALS AT YORK FOR HIGH TREASON. There were lately twenty-five prisoners in York Castle charged with High Treason; two of them have, however, been discharged by proclamation, and one (Thomas Morgan, of Barnsley, weaver, aged 26) has been admitted evidence for the Crown. There conse quently are now but twenty-two for trial, and they are expected to plead Not Guilty. Wednesday last, about noon, 18 witnesses against the prisoners arrived in York, most of them, appa rently, intoxicated—they were attended by several constables, and placed in a small uninhabited house in Nessgate. Some of them at first refused to enter, alleging that they had been closely confined more than twenty weeks, merely that they might appear against their neighbours, but positively declaring that they would not. They were, however, soon forced into the house, and an immense crowd assembled in the street. The s% itnesses threw open the windows, and some of them, waving their hats, called out-- " Hunt for ever!" and made other similar exclamw. tions, till at length it was found requisite to provide two York Police Officers, to stand guard in the fronr of the house. More witnesses arrived in the even ing, and the crowd increased. It was ultimately thought proper to remove the witnesses to some other place; and they were divided into three parties, and placed at three public-houses in the city. SATURDAY, Half-past Four o'clock. The Court opened this day at a quarter past two. Mr. ItaisE, Mr. Serjeant HuLLocx, Mr. Serjeant Cross, and Mr. LITTLEDALE, appeared as Counsel for the prosecution. The Learned Judges, Mr. Justice BAYLEY and Mr. Justice ntaxe, were present ; and the former an nounced—ee That it was very desirable that it should be understood, that during the trials, no part of the speeches or proceedings should go the Public, either by Newspapers or otherwise, as it might be prejudi cial to the prisoners ; and the Court expected that that order should be strictly adhered to." The Editor of the York Herald immediately in quired of his Lordship, whether it was intended that the proceedings of this day should be included in the restriction of the Court? to which his Lordship ulti mately replied, that it would be well to abstain from publishing the proceedings altogether. The Court was much crowded, and about four o'clock adjourned to nine on Monday morning. (We bad made arrangements for receiving daily accounts of the Trials for High Treason, which are to commence this day at York ; but our Readers will see, from the above Report of what passed at the opening of the Court on Saturday, that the publication of the proceedings has been interdicted.] Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens had a fine display of gay dresses yesterday, and dust and delight were taken together freely.

It is reported in the political circles which take an interest in the affairs of Ireland, that Govern ment intends, if not to abolish, at least to make a considerable alteration in the Irish Linea Board. We know not how far this report is founded in truth; but the conversation which took place in the House of Commons on that subject, when the Miscellaneous Estimates were discussed, in the last Session, appears to give it countenance. HONESTY WELL REWARDED.—A few weeks since, a poor Welshman, having a wife and seven children, found a pocket-book m one of the squares at the West end of the town, containing £5,000 in Bank of England notes; from the direction in the book, he returned the property to the owner, who immediately 'rewarded him with 1:250, and settled annually upon him ; the honest fellow has commenced build ing a small house in Wales for his family, and has purchased cows, pigs, kc. from the produce of which he has no doubt of supporting them in comfort. FlRES.—Monday night, a fire took place in a 'chandler's shop, at Neston, in Cheshire, which com pletely destroyed it, together with a considerable quantity of tallow.

The Conqueror left St. Helena on the 20th of that month. BONA PARTE was understood to be well, but lived a most secluded lite, refusing to see any stranger—even Ad miral LAMBERT had not obtained leave to visit him, when the Conqueror left the Island. We understand that Admiral PLAMPIN had not seen him for many months; that he sent to him, to say his successor had arrived, and he should feel happy in introducing him; to which BONAPARTE replied, he was too un well to receive visitors. He bad built a mud wall round his garden, with loop-holes, to enable him to observe the approach of any person to his residence. His new house, which is a most spacious and excel lent erection, will be ready for his reception about Christmas next.

J. H. LINGA RD, Master of the Brazen, for disrespect to his Senior Officer, neglect of duty, and repeated acts of insubordination, when he was sen tenced to be dismissed from his Majesty's service.— The Conqueror proceeds to Chatham, to be paid off. Saturday morning arrived at Portsmouth the Ald bury (Lieutenant PRITCHARD, Agent) and Brilliant transports, from the Cape of Good Hope and St. Helena ; left the former• Colony on the '23d June, St. Helena 11 th July, and Ascension the 17th of that month.

A well is now sinking in Lincoln's Inn-fields, in which the workmen have descended to the depth of 150 feet, without coming to the water. A few days ago, as two draymen were proceeding along the Broadway at Deptford, with their drays heavily laden, the man who drove the foremost dray, while imprudently sitting on the shaft, fell asleep, and dropped off; one of the wheels passed over his head, and killed him on the spot. Tuesday, John Pelham, in the employ of Mr. MasoN, of Maidstone, fell backwards into the Med way off the town, by the giving way of a rope that he was reeving on beard a barge. Not bei ng a bl e to swim, and the water running strong, the poor man was unfortunately drowned. It is singular that (T. Stubbersfield) the first husband of Pelham's widol, was also drowned in the Medway, near Maidstone. Saturday afternoon, a poor man, carrying a heavy load in the Strand, slipped, by treading Ott a plumb. stone, and broke his leg. He was cart ied on a s h ut . ter to the Westminster Infirmary. Saturday se'nnight, as a boy was leasing in a fi e ld belonging to Mr. - BARTON, of New Fairlee, Hamp shire, a snake of an immense size bit him, and en. twined round his leg so firmly, that it became ne cessary for two men, who were near, to use their as sistance in rescuing the poor lad from the grasp of the venomous creature, which, however, was not effected until they destroyed it.
