This forenooPi we received a Flanders Mail, bring ing German and Brussels Papers of a late date. An article from Vienna, of the 10th instant, states that the Foreign Ministers assembled in that capital have already had very long conferences at the hotel of Prince METTERNICa. The following are the prin cipal Foreign Ministers who were present: For France—Messrs. de Pdoxxstosucit, CA WAN, and Fas- ROM% YZ. Prussia—Counts 13zativroarr and liarzrrt,e. Rubsia—Counts NLSSELRODE, I'OZZO DI Bodo, and Goiow 11N, And Senattr TATISCIIEFF. The following are extracts: BRUSSELS, SEPTEMBER 23. . It is positively affirmed that the Austrian and Eng lish Ministers at Constantinople have again strongly urged the Porte to send an Ambassador to some frontier town to confer with a Russian Minister. Letters from Frankfort say, that in consequence of a request made to the King of Prussia by Prince . Hardenberg, the Chancellor of State, his Majesty has been pleased to dispense with the attendance of that Minister at the Congress of Verona. The accounts from Rome say that Cardinal Gon salvi, Secretary of State to his Holiness,, has lately had several conferences; and that it is supposed he is on the point of receiving his final instructions, pre vious to his departure to represent his Holiness at the Congress at Verona. VIENNA, SEPTEMBER 12. The Emperor Alexander went yesterday tt, Luxem burg, with their Majesties and the Archdukes and Duchesses, where the birth-day of the Emperor (of Russia) was kept, but not publicly, only a select circle' being invited. A part of their Majesties suite is to set out for laspruck next week, to proceed to Verona. ITALY; SEPTEMBER 6._ M. de Pouqueville, the Consul of France in the arrived on the 6th at Milan, from Florence. The noble conduct of this faithful and intrepid ser vant of his most Christian Majesty, has obtained him the most flattering reception from the Ministers, Am. bassadors, and Consuls of his Majesty at Naples, Florence, and Milan. The Pope having met him at the Villa Albani, deigned to honour with his bene diction the preserver of so many-thousands of Chris tians; and it is not doubted that, if his voice could be heard at the Congress of Verona, it would induce the Sovereigns to interest themselves in the cause of the Greeks. M. Pouqueville is said to be going to BI amines. Bayonne Papers reached us this forenoon, bringing intelligence both horn Madrid and The North of Spain. The following are extracts: MADRID, SEPTEMBER it. It is affirmed that various General Officers and Co lone's, who are quartered at Valencia, have just been ordered to go into exile, as follows : Licutenant-Generals.—Perelloa, to the Canaries; and Conde tle Calderon, to Ibiza. Brigadiers--lbara and Lacerda, to Ceuta; Marimon, to Ba dajoz ; Garcia, to Ibiza; Matatenares, to Manilla; Gaztela, to I orto Rico ; Valparda, to Vigo; Barrera and Deito, to Mahon. Colonels—Novella, to Tariffs; Anillo, to Ibiza. It is added that the Government has given orders to investigate the conduct of Brigadier Pereda, who is stationed in the same place. Exchanges.—Paris 16. I.—Lopdon 37. 5. BAYONNE, SEPTEMBER 19. Sir William A'Court set out this morning:for Spain. It is thought he will sleep at Irun, where preparations ere making to give him a most brilliant reception. The military preparations continue without inter- tuption : every day there arrive powder waggons, gun carriages, cartridges, tents, corn, &c. but hitherto - no troops we are, therefore, still in the same uncer tainty respecting the object of these particular's ; but the general opinion is, that they are merely intended to alarm our neighbours, the Spaniards, since so far there is nothing that indicates the entrance of the troops of the pretended sanitary cordon into Spain, whose nun-11er would not suffice to occupy Guipus coa. The French seldiets, besides, are not animated with any eagerness to make part of an expedition of this description. On the 16th, General Espinosa had an action with • • the troops of had, which, after lining four killed and So wounded, declined tie toesbat: The Jontatf Navarre, i iim bletilert of which are at this moment in Daytime, itioiesely owed proH clamations to be Circulated in Nessarre, inviting IMP' ilihabitants to enlist under the banners of the Faith, and to obey the legitimate 'Government of the . King, established at Urgel. It is said &pia is called to the Regency at Urgel, and that he hes also received orders to suspend from his functions Col; Abseil, who is to give ,an account of the large sums that have passed through his hands within the last twelve months, for the purchase of erms,,,ammunition, &c. The Spanish refugees at Bayonne loudly blame this Co lonel, whose mul practices have been denounced to the Junta at Urgel. We have before observed that the enemies of the Constitution exerted themselves to induce the active militia to join their banners, or at 'least to prevent them from following those of the Constitutionalists. It is not only in Gallicia that these corps have shewn a repugnance to obey the Govirnment. The Es pectador, of the I I th, gives the following account from Leon, of sth Sept.—The battalion of the active militia of Oviedo arrived here the day before yester day. This battalion, which had always given proofs of the strictest discipline and of attachment to the new institutions, left Oviedo amidst the acclamations of the inhabitants, and cries of the Constitution for ever. —But seduction had formed its way among the sol diers, and a great part of the five companies that were at Pajares, mutinied in the night, saying they had done all they were bound to do, and would re arm home, having first arrested the Major and the Officers, who, as well as the serjeants and most of the corporals, had taken no part in the mutiny. They then sent an Officer, with ten men, to Colonel Vigo, who, with the three other companies, was at Busdongo. The Colonel immediately called his three companies together, told them what had passed, and asked if they would obey, and make the mutinous return to their duty ? They all declared themselves ready to follow him wherever he pleased. Encouraged by this, Vigo sent word to the muti neers, that he could never negociate with those under his command on such a subject; that he was resolved to make them return to their duty, and if they did' so voluntarily, he would again receive them.— This answer, and the firmness of the Officers, induced the men to return to their duty, and they set out on their march in perfect order. The Colonel, however, would not let them join the others till they had got beyond la Robla. The meetirAg of the men was most affectionate, and they all continued their march with the greatest joy and enthusiasm to this city, where they remain till to-morrow, and have given the most satisfactory proofs of repentance and attachment to the Constitution. The Paris Papers of Monday have been received. A telegraphic dispatch from Strasburg of the pre ceding day announced that CARON had been con demned to death. ROGET s who was accused of kid napping, or of being an accessory to it, was referred back to the Tribunal at Colmar. The individuals condemned to death in the affair of Saumer, are always together in the same dungeon, with the exception of SENECRAULT s for whom a re spite has come. On the first night they were placed • I in such heavy collars and iron chains, which pressed so heavily on their legs, that BERTON, who could not bear them, complained to the Prefect. The Magis trate, having gone into the durgeon, ordered the iron collars to be taken off, and lighter chains to be put on the feet of the condemned. The five condemned mess together and live in common. BERTON pays for JAGLIN ; he also sent money to the mother of the latter. He has also made in the prison a distribution of money to the other condemned. SAUCE, though 63 years'old, shews muck firmness, and never ceases to encourage his companions to die. He sings to them every day after dinner songs, which they alt repeat in full chorus. As to BERTON, he has never wavered for a moment. The intelligence from Spain in these papers is, as usual, little more than a list of assertions respecting petty movements said to have been made and petty advantages said to have been obtained, in which con tradiction forms the chief feature. The Royalists now pre:end that QUISADA gained the victory, which they had previously admitted he had lost ; but they are forced to avow that through his retreat into Ca talonia, the whole of Navarre has fallen into the hands of the Constitutionalists, and that there is no longer a Royalist army in that province. They, however, boast that they will do great things in other parts.--. , The advices from Madrid are to the 12th instant, but bring nothing new. An article from Naples, dated the Gth inst. says, that Vesuvius had sent forth a great quantity of flames for the two days preceding. A band of freebooters, who infested the environs of Naples, is entirely extinguished, by means of the vigorous measures adopted towards them. • The intelligence from Greece in these Papers tends to confirm the advantages previously stated to have been gained over the ferocious Turks. They also give an account of other successes. The total failure of the combined and desperate attack made by the Turks, throne the assistance of the Austrians, on the Morea, is no longer doubtful. It is equally clear that they now feel the recoil of their vain attempt, ~ . the Isthmus; find themselves _ the main Grecian corps which carried on Offensive operations in Livadiaand.Thessaly, at the time when Austtian ships conveyed the Turks to the Morea, stile still acting in those countries,-and cut off the poi. bility of further retreat, whilst the victorious Ifni; reans, after re-occupying Corinth and its citadel, are advancing in front across the Isthmus. Under such circumstances we should not be surprised to hear, unless indeed the Austrians should again send vessels to carry off their friends, that the pretended con querors of the Morea had purchased their lives by the sacrifice of their liberty. These accounts are the more remarkable as they appear in the Manifestt and the Drapeau Blanc, Journals which are by no means faiourable to the cause of the Greeks.

Private letters received this morning from Jamaica, dated the .sth August, mention it as currently re ported there that Lima had been entered by the Royalists. When we first announced the death of the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, we stated that it must occa.ion further changes in the Administration than merely appointing a new Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs ; and, although no other alterations have yet taken place, yet we feel persuaded that they are not very. distant. The Earl of HARROWXY, whose health has been for some time on the decline,has signified to his. MAJESTY his desire to resign the Presidency of the Council, and to retire from public life. We have not yet heard who is to be his successor, but it is an office there can be no difficulty in filling up. Mr. VANSITTART, who; in all the changes of Ad minisvation that have taken place for the last five and twentryears, has always contrived to nestle in some good place, still clings to the Chancellorship of the Exchequer. Indeed, as conducting the mere de tail of office is all that he ever undertook, except saying ditto to the Marquis of LONDONDERRY in the House of Commons, he will probably continue in office until the meeting of Parliament ; but we can not think he will venture to retain the office any longer ; for if he should, the first shot from TIERNEY or BROUGHAM will be sure to dislodge 'Aim. The new Viceroy of India is not yet appointed- The choice of individuals is now said to lay princi pally between Lord WILLIAM FlENvtivex and Mr. CHARLES WYNN. Were this really the case we think there could be no difficulty in making the selection; since the one is the most fit, and the other the least fit fin- the office of any person in the kingdom. Lord WM. BENTI NCK has abilities, experience, and industry ; his honest and manlycharacter are universally admit ted. The government of Madras, the command of the British Forces in the Mediterranean, with their suc cessful operations, the glory of which was snatched from them and sacrificed as the purchase-money of Austrian friendship; his.diplomatic labours in Sicily, and his internal administration in that country, form a mass of evidence in his favour, and are the best proofs of his experience and abilities. Mr. CHARLES WYNN is a hopeful scion of the GRENVILLE party; his whole talents, reputation, and experience, are included in this to him fortunate and important circumstance. But it is really an insult to Lord WILLIAM BENTINCE to name Mr. WYNN in competition with him; and their comparative merits may be very fairly expressed in an Epigram of some ten years standing, only altering the names of the parties : Wirsor and Borrmcz, 0! bow they sound! A penny and a thousand pound, A cock-boat and a man of war, A glow-worm and a blazing star ! _ _ _ _ _ A Morning Paper states, that the " Earl of Lives- POOL, at the request of the friends of Mr. C. WYNN, is exerting all his influence (in the event of this Gentleman's being refused the Government of India), with Mr. MANNERS SUTTON, to induce him to resign the Chair of the House of Commons, and accept of India in its stead. Should the latter Gentleman consent to this arrangement, hopes are entertained that all matters may be satisfactorily ad justed. The Court of Directors, it is supposed, from the conciliatory . and business-like character of Mr. MANNERS SUTTON, would at all events have fewer objections to this appointment than to that of Dir. WYNN." .. We scarcely think that the Earl of laysepoik., Would-ever advise his Sovereign to send Mr. grip , *nes Sorroza as Governor-General of India; far id. .though we.have great respect for his talents andriri- - vate virtues, yet we should as soon,thiok of making; him Commander-in Chief, •or Admiral of the Fleet, as appointing him to an office to which his talents and hibits are so entirely unsuited.

The JUDGE-ADVOCATE stated, that it was impos sible any imputation could lie against the Colonel, but this was one of the inconveniences atten:ling the publication of proceedings before they were ended. Captain Jess, with the very forcible manner re ! marked before, here asked Colonel DRAKE whether fie had not 'made observations to him in the Riding house on one of the charges, which sheaved he had already decided his opinion on the whole? Colonel DRAKE made no reply. Colonel HILL then desired to be examined, and was so, as well as the Quartermaster and Adjutant, but nothing material. occurr ed. Captain JEER then rose, and requested that hit Counsel might be permitted to read his address, as, from some interlineations, it was incooreilic..t for him to do it. A long discussion sock place, when Ca t. JEsa read it himself, as follows: Colonel, President, and Gentlemen of this honourable Court, —I shall not detain you by prefatory ohservationa longer than is absolutely necessary to explain to your just sense of rt.inary t:1 eipline my actual position in the case before you. :acing in.:l the honour to serve in two of the best It gimer.ts in his .i.- jesty's service, the 29th Foot and the Scot; (ir:ys, and n:arl , fifteen years in the Blues, with peculiar approbation, I am sure you will recognize the feelings with which I am, tor the first time in my life, put on my trial; and on charges which, though in their full extent they individually imply not ailything dero;a tory to my character as a soldier, are yet, collectivay, very repug nant to my spirit as a gentleman. Whence they have arisen I shail not seek to discover; but of this, I trust, I shall be able to con vince you, that either they must have been generated by an extra ordinary misconception of omminci.in onspar, or the highl y dis tinguished persons , whose testimonials I am unwillingly obliged to produce, must have most extraordinarily have mistaken my character for upwards of twenty years, and to the present mo ment. My first knowledge of these charges took place when having been, under ciramistances hereafter to be described, ab sent for a part of four days, which came not under the designa tion of absence without leave. On the 10th of last month I was ordered to attend Sir Robert Hill, when he was pleaied to pro pose arrangements, which, however profitable to me in seine points of view, I could not accede to, with that sense of honour which I hope ever has, and ever will, direct me. I am thus before you, Gentlemen, and am happy to leave to your discri mination a nd experience the decision of my case. You have heard the evidence, and have ho doubt remarked the tone in hich much of it was given : I shall now proceed to examica what it has proved. In support of the first charge there has bet n produced an ord:r of Sir Robert Hill's, made last year in the country quarters, and, as far as I have been able to construe, it applied chiefly to the Clerks of Troops, and the adjustment of their accounts. This I know, that neither myself nor any other Officer ever considered it in the light of an imperative command that he should pay the Quartermaster of his troop any charge which may arise against him, often of the most trifling amount, precisely on the Quarter day; or, rather, as would appear from the evidence oil another charge, to the very moment the clock strikes twelve on Quarter day, whether he shall be present or not, on duty, or on leave.— It is a matter, as you know, Gentlemen, entirely between his Quartermaster and himself; unless, indeed, the latter, or rather in his person, the service should sustain any injury, which is not even asserted in this case. The witness called to prove a vim latiotr of this order, did indeed, in answer to a question put to him by me, to ascertain that fact, say, in a manner th.tt could not be lost upon the Court, that it had injured his character ; and when asked how, explained it by his having received notice of a bill which he had received in payment from Capt.in Jebb, and for which he bad obtained cash from Mr. Jennings, of Windsor, being unpaid. That bill, Gentlemen, was the security for a valuable consideratiou, of a person (as you will hear proved) of West India property to the value of £6,000 a-ye..r, and was payable at his Merchant's, an eminent firm in London, where many thousands had been paid on his account, and where I could not but suppose so small an amount would be readily paid. And how lung did it remain unpaid? The Quartermaster has hi formed you four days • why it was even thus long, shall, I hope, satisfactorily explain. I was then at Salt Hill, where I heard, to my astonishment, of its nonpayment on one day, the following day I went to Mr. Jennings, to satisfy him on the subject, and relieve the Quartermaster from every responsibility. I had to go to London for the money, to return to Salt Hill, and then to go to Windsor with the money. 31r. Jennings was satisfied—he would have indulged nie in any nay; but I as no indulgence ; I got the money as quickly as the three distances would allow, and las promptly paid it. I know not what may be the refinement of my Quartermaster's idol upon his personal character, but this we all know, that the inas:t opu lent merchant in London, who should indorse a bill to the 13auk of .England, which was not paid when due, would cunsider the very delicate nature of his character injured by its passage through his hands; nor could he do more than pay It himself when returned to him. To prove the breach of the order, Quartermaster Speed said that he had regularly presented the accounts every three months to me, and I bad not settled them, nor taken any steps so to do, not, as he several times repeated, according fo the order ; that is to say, his new construction of it ; and in corroboration pointed out in his book,*an instance where be said I had paid five quar tersitt once. In this ft is evident he was, in common with other witnesses, in error. However this payment was made to hint .in June, Intl, just Ilfteen months ago ' and that neither before, nor dining these fifteen months, had he, either from his legal -precision in -construing orders, or his extreme sensibility of cha racter, discovered that I had done him wrong, the Ilegitr.ent errong; the service, or in fact, any wrong at all, till the present oeciwforhetecharges, for the first time in my long service, were to be framed against me i as be informed me, and be was `peeuliaily called ipso to contribute to them. I say peculiarly, from the circumstance of his acquainting me of it a few days tact; chit he had been even interrogated whether the last money which I paid hint was really money ? Gentlemen, this witness has been My. Quartermaster and Clerk of my Troop for seven /yews. It is not my habit to indulge in hmillarity with arch 'persons, and therefore there was no propitiation oa my part, if the,order hoteven been by him construed, or others, to this ,Weety of payment of the current accounts. The amount-was settled and the order virtually obeyed, when it was submitted to me that mms, gush as ls. Bd. for the Veterinary Surveil, Ted. for Barrack dantagra, ss. for Clerking, Is. fur nails for We stables, a few ihilling* for repair of arms, and were admitted lay me to be correctly charged, and he could have the money when be wanted it. He distinctly, in his evidence, said that be never salted me for matey, thounk he afterwards, on intetrogatiwt„ endeavours, rather aingalatly as a witness, to argue that the . bare exhibiden of his bosh to me four times a-year, was a de. nand of money, equally desebuly sad gratuitow/y *wearies - that.' kiwi" the order.
