By the arrival of Mosikuri and other Paris papers, to the 7th instant, we are enabled to confirm the in telligence exclusively communicated by us a few days ago, of the execution of the unfortunate men. who, in these degenerate days, had nobly raised their arms against the atrocious system under which Europe has groaned for many years. But a few hours intervened between their trial, and their final exit from this world. A Military Government, like that of France, knows nothing of justice, lenity, impartiality, or any of the Virtues by which social order is maintained among elankind. The details of this additional outrage upon she best feelings of human nature, are given in ano ther part of our Paper—they are studiously concise, for we are made acquainted with scarcely anything the than that certain persons were arrested, tried, condemned, and executed, for gs the crime of having conspired against the interior security of the State, with the design of destroying the Government, the succession to the Throne, and of exciting the citizens or inhabitants against the Imperial Authority." Short as this statement is, we, nevertheless, see enough to excite our deep regret that the heroes, vho have now paid the tribute of their lives for their pant of success, were fired with the glorious ambition of becoming the deliverers of Europe:—that they have failed in their project we do most sincerely la ment f but amid our despondency, the dying expres sions of MALLET (and we have unquestionable sources for knowing that we reported them accurately a few days since) may afford us a ray of hope that the tonepiracy in which he was engaged was not like the meteor, 44 which leaves no beam behind !" The same Journals contain intelligence from Spain of an aspect by no means pleasing. The raising, or rather the suspension, of the siege of Burgos, neces sarily sfrords some cause for triumph, and it is . inscribed to the masterly manoeuvres of SoVLT 141004, South: Why this last remaining Ruffian, whole an nihilation, and that of his co-mate in villainy,Josapn, here scarcely problematical, was permitted quietly to rally his discomfited forces, and face about upon Madrid, is a matter of astonishment to the whole country and nothing short of a Parliamentary en quiry or a Military Court-Martial can relieve the agonising feelings which agitate the public mind on' the subject. With the best possible dispositions on the part of the Noble WELLINiiTON, with hunger, thirst, sickness, and misery, in all their frightful shades,Ognawing the very vitals of the retreating armies, under SOULT and: iTosant—with the Guerillas hovering on their flanks; 'with the desertion of thousands daily; and finally, with the very elements of 1-IsAvew conspiring in the cause of England and Spain ! Why, we say, did iot some heroic leader rush forward, with the gallant band entrusted to his care, and scatter the dastardly fugitives to the winds ?—lf there is blame (and'we fear that 'the public voice is but too correct on the subject) it becomes the duty of the Officers sated, or their friends at home, to call for enquiry. —The Bullion question, the Budget, the East-India Monopoly, are nothing, in point of importance, to this. If the Marquis of WELLINGTON is to be the saviour of Europe, he must have men of the same school under him—in fact, he must have ?hc choos ing of his Generals, and all political influence—even all military etiquette must be done away by some *ablic legislative enactment. Why, for iwcuue, froi brie a poilier of public isz ample, in. the presence of the whole army, of an incompetent or cowatdly General ? Without such an'extension of his powers, the Marquis of Wet- LIAGTON can never enter the field on equal terms with the French Generals. We are not for the de lays a Chelsea Court Martial would create—the call. Officers as witnesses from the Peninsula, would be as ridiculous as it would be impossible. No ; if there are cowards under his Lordship's command (which Heaven forbid 1),. let them not have the honour of dying the death of Soldiers—a Gibbet 40 feet high will furnish what the French would call 46 an imposing spectacle " ; an d i t w ill a l so i mpress !upon them a most terrific lesson—it will teach them that England has at last shaken off some part of the old morality" of her Constitution, and has deter 'mined, that whatever may be the character of her Statesmen at home, she is determined to have none but Soldiers in the field From these gloomy subjects we turn, with unmixed sensations of delight, to the contents of the Twenty fourth French Bulletin, with which the same Paris Papers furnish us. It is dated Moscow, October 14th, and is, like many of its predecessors, short and frothy. The weather is fine—all the wounded have, I been removed to Smolensk, Minsk, and Mohilow, and numbers have been restored to health—..the snow began to fall on the 13th October—in twenty days more the army must go into winter quarters. Such I ts the faithful summary of the intelligence conveyed Iby this Bulletin, which the Parisians can deem to be favodrable to the good cause in which their Emperor is embarked. We rejoice however to find it admitted, by the same document, that the Russian Army from Mol davia has joined that of General TORMAZOFF, and that the Russians are rapidly recruiting their armies. The details of the affair at Riga, to which place the Bulletin writer wanders in search of matter, are already before our Readers. A fogner Bulletin told us, that one-fourth of Moscow onl, was saved : the French Engineers now report, that one-tenth only has been saved—sorry winter quarters for the miserable banditti who nuw take shelter amidst its ruins ! Under the head Russian Bulletins, our Readers will find additional details from the Russian Generals— they do not give the lie Co the Twenty-fourth Bulk tin, it is true ; but they inform us, that if the French had been pleased to speak out, they might have filled many Bulletins, but the details would have been far from gratifying. In the St. Petersborgh letters it is stated as a re port which obtained credit, that an action had taken place between the advanced guardof the French,'to the South of Moscow, and that of the grand Russian army under Kuvusoip, when the former were repulsed with the loss of .5000 men. Previous to this action it is said, that the French had sent detachments of 70001 men each in the direction of Demitroff, to the North, and Mojaisk, to the West, to prevent the intrusion of the Russians, who were collecting in those neighbour , hoods. Two letters of the 19th, from Konigsburg, agree in asserting that NAPOLEON was every hour expected in that city; that suitable accommodations had been prepared for him; and that supplies and quarters had, by public order, been provided for 17,000 men. It is probable that the army under Marshal MACDO NALD may have taken the opportunity of abandoning Courland, while the roads would admit of its retreat with the heavy artillery, which had been intended for the siege of Riga, and that for this force the quar ters are prepared at Konigsburg ; indeed, the ad. vices from the neighbourhood of Memel seem to re move all doubt on the subject. We are happy to find, that at this seasonable time, a gun brig, with a number of transports, conveying arms and other necessaries for the use of the Russian army, had reached Cronstadt. Commerce had assumed a more favourable appear_ ante ; sugars, coffee, and even twist for the internal manufactures, had risen in price, and no apprehen sions were entertained of the approach of the enemy to Petersburgh during the present year. It is again reported, that FREDERICK WILLIAM has terminated his reign by abdication in favour of Bono- PAM'S, and that Prussia is to become immediately what is called an integral part of the French Empire. Yesterday Earl Monist had an interview with the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton House. The SF.AHORSE frigate, of 88 guns, which has lately undergone a thorough repair at Woolwich, was yesterday ordered to be fitted out to take his Lordship to India. Yesterday Lord CASTLEREAGH came to town from' his seat at North Cray, and transacted business at the Foreign Offices Yesterday the tad of LIVERPOOL came to town from Comb Wood, and waked upon the PRINCE RE. GENT at Carlton House, The Noble Earl afterwards I transacted business with the Earl BATHURST, at the Office of the War Department. There is some probability that the splendid talents of Mr. CANNINe will not be lost to his country at this important crisis. In a circular letter of thanks addressed to his friends at Liverpool, Mr. CANNING expresses a hope, that if on any future oreation" he may require their votes, he may once more have the honour of representing them. From this expression it is inferred, that Mr. CANNLNE is on the eve of coming into office. BERNARD TROTTER, late the Secretary of Mr. Fox, has been arrested and committed to Wexford gaol, on a charge of frequenting seeremeetings, and also of assault and rescues tMpb*i ANr i n kLLtGII~cL In sisothei part of our Paper we have given the details respecting the trial and execution of the Parisian conspirators —and we have offered few thoughts on the subject. It is not our inten tion to repeat any part of these statements, but we are called upon, by the duty we owe to the public, to mention, that various letters received this day from the French coast, speak in dark and mysterious terms of the rameficatiosu of the conspiracy. If we May credit tht statements that haie reached us, the flame of rebellion is not yet extinguished, and from all the symptoms, the alarm of the Governnient is very great. Even in Paris, the Government is in such a state of trepidation, that the Military and Police are on constant duty to maintain the public peace, and intimidate the discontented. In the country I all is gloom and dismay, and every thirg indicates a general expectation of the bursting out of a poli. Ideal volcano ; an d t h e pu bli c aut h or i t i es throughout the Departments have received directions from Paris to be upon their guard against the efforts of con spirators. It is impossible, from the way in which this intelligence has reached us, that we should be able to touch for its perfect accuracy; but that the French Government is in a state of great alarm we cannot doubt :—and we may here be per mitted to remark, that the return of NAPOLEON to Paris, mentioned in the letters received by the Gottenburgh Mail, may be easily accirted for from the fact of a conspiracy having been detected—and not yet completely frustrated. The letters received this morning from the French coast mention, that a squadron of French men of war, consisting of three or four ships of the line, with se veral frigates and corvettes, are preparing for a start from the ports in the Bay (it is presumed for Ame lrica) ; the whole of which have been taken into dock for a tide or two, to clean their copper, their object being to render them as efficient in point of sailing as possible. It seems the American frigates and corvettes that formed Commodore RODGERS'S squa dron, are undergoing the same operation, which will, beyond a doubt, give them a decided superiority over ours, having it in their power either to fight or run, as suitable to themselves, and in the event of action to choose their own position of attack. We earnestly hope the same precaution may be taken by us, or we shall find to our sorrow and loss, that should the enemy succeed in their views, their united effortswould loccasion so many and such certain advantages over the English squadrons ; from the facility with which they will be able to replenish both ships and men, that we have just grounds to fear that many valuable lives will be sacrificed unless timely precau tions are taken. The watch-word of America (the vindication of seamen's rights) is of more import than we imagine, and not only the crews but the complement of officers should be increased in all vessels destined to act against America, without delay. A letter from an Officer belonging to the 4th divi sion of the army in the Peninsula, dated the .sth Oc tober, mentions, that that division had marched to Pinto and Valdemoro, on the Toledo road. In a postscript, dated the 9th, he says--“ The wet season has set in. It is probable we shall hare a fight with Soma."
