Their carriages were obliged to draw up at the Commons' entrances, and thence their Lordships went to the House of Lords by walking under the piazzas to the door called the Peers' entrance. The Earls of SHAFTESBURY and Livenrool., and the Bishop of LoNooti appeared in their places, and after having retired to robe, they returned and took their seats on the Woolsack.

Sorge arrests have taken place in Paris ; on Saturday two Officers of distinction were seized and conducted to the Prefecture of Police. The Quotidienne states one of them to be Colonel FABVIER. CAROM, whose execution at Strasburg we have already announced, is said to have met his fate with coolness and firmness. The Decree of the Court of Cessation against en-! tertaining any discussion on the case of Col. CA RON, who, as we stated in the STAR of Monday, was executed before his appeal could be brought before the Court, has been published by authority in all the French journals. It is felt, no doubt, to be a hard case, and the Court is anxious to shew that it had no participa tion in an act which may thus appear to be the re sult of the prompt severity of the Military Code. BERTON and his companions are said to refuse all spiritual aid, and to be quite prepared for the fate that awaits them. The Courier Francais warns its readers against a gross artifice which it pretends is now being prac tised against some Deputies of the left side. It states, that letters in cipher are forwarded by the Paris post to the Liberal Deputies, with the supposed object of imputing to them some mysterious correspondence , founding thereon grounds for arresting them. A letter from Rouen states, that the damage dcne to the Cathedral by the fire is not so extensive as was at first imagined. The greater part of the church has not suffered at all ; and though the pyramid is destroyed, which it will require a long time to re build, there is no other injury which may not be speedily repaired. The Journal des Debals states its belief that the Duke of Wat.l.lNozosr will not go to Vienna; but that Mr. GORDON, the Minister at Vienna, will meet the Duke at Munich, for the purpose of conducting him to Verona. Lord STIIANGIORD had arrived at Vienna on the 27th, *here he brought the intelligence that the affairs 11 7 .1. a were completely settled. letter from Vienna of the 27th September, brought by an extraordinary chantiel,A•is said—" It seems certain that the Congress of Verona will be ened on the 18th October: it will be . closed No vember 25. The Emperor of RUSSIA will return to St. Petersburgh the 25th December. The situation of Spain seems particularly to fix the attention of the Sovereigns. A perfect accord seems in this respect to reign among the Sovereigns; but it is only at Vc rona that the measures which are to restore peace and tranquillity in that country are to be adopted." According to the new regulation of the churches in Prussia, the Evangelical Ecclesiastics must, on their ordination, take the following oath: I promise to be faithful to my legitimate King, his Majesty the King of Prussia, my Sovereign and first Bishop, so that I will endeavour to work for the greatest good of the King in all ways possible. I will defend by my life and blood, by my teach ing and example, by words and deeds, the Royal power and dig nity, as it is established by the beneficent form of our Monarchi cal Government. I will make immediate discovery of what I can learn as to plots tending to change or overthrow this excel lent Constitution, on which the good of the State is founded, and which I will follow and observe faithfully in all points. I also promise, as far as in me lies, obedience to Ms Majesty, my au gust Sovereign, and to an who have power in his name. I will engage my Parishioners and all the Members of the Commune. to think and speak in a just and loyal manner of the Civil Govern ment, which Goa has establishtd." The French Journals are entirely silent on the affairs of Greece, but they contain a mass of intelli gence from Spain. The accounts from Madrid are to the '24th ult. On the 11th, the War Council of Generals met at Seville on the trial of Generals VELASCO and BRE• SON, Brigadier-General ANDRES, Colonel CARA:4°, I Lieutenant-Colonels MoNTES, Auseosio, LABRA, AsIA, and CoLLEJA, with the Commandant of the Train of Artillery, charged with having signed the memorable Address to the Ktno and the Cortes on the 17th of December last. After reading of the ac. cusation and the defence, the Council of War pro. nounced the following sentence : " The Court acquits the accused of all the charges, and de clares that they have fulfilled their military and political duties with honour and patriotism ; that this accusation shall be of no injury to them, that in consequence they ought to be again put in possession of the offices they held before, and the Government will take into consideration the damages they may have sus tained ; that the nation and army shall be informed of this judg ment, because the accused have not only proved their patriotism and attachment to the Constitutional system by their conduct, but have also shown that they have rendered themselves worthy of being considered as having merited well of their country." The KING and the Royal Princes were to assist in person, and in the uniform of the National Guards, at the banquet to be given on the 24th by the Muni cipality of Madrid, for the purpose of distributing the crosses voted to the brave men who fought in the defence of their liberties on the 7th of July. A table of 9000 covers was to be prepared in the Prado. The following order has been placarded in the public square of Madrid :-4 , The King having been informed, in a manner which admits no doubt, that Lieutenant-General Baron d'Erolles and Brigadier Philip Flehes, who, after abandoning the national flag, have declared themselves enemies to the Monar chical Constitution, are acting in concert for its de struction, has decided that they shall be cashiered from the army and deprived of all their honours and distinctions. The Major-General Don Vicente Quesada is also deprived for the same reasons, and likewise General Don Carlos O'Donnel,who has gone to France without the King's permission."—This Decree bears date September 16, and was communicated by the War Minister. On the 22d ult. M. BELIN, the representative of M. ROTHSCHILD, REED, IRVING, and Co. and M. J. CAMPBELL and Co. arrived from London, to treat for the purchase of 18 millions of retries, which the Cortes have given to the Government. A courier from Paris has brought the most ample powers to the agent of the French Company. Sixteen Officers belonging to the ex-regiment of Carabiniers and of the province of Cordone, whnpro claimed the absolute government on the last days of June, have been conducted to Seville under a good escort to be tried by the usual Council of War. All 'the accounts received at Madrid from the pro vinces portend the downfall of the insurrection.— From Biscay, Navarre, Arragon, and Catalonia, dis patches were daily arriving of the successes of the Constitutionalists, though, as the battles fought were frequently on an extremely small scale, the guerilla warfare being resorted to by both parties, they led to nothing decisive. The Commander of the first moving column of Lower Arragon had sent a courier to the Govern ment, announcing the complete defeat of 1200 Insur gents, commanded by RAMBLA and CAPAPE, after a conflict of six hours. The battalions of Galicia, Xeres, and of the Crown, sailed on the 18th from Algesiras for Catalonia. News had reached Madrid of MINA's departure from Lerida on the 13th, with 4000 infan try, 800 cavalry, and 12 pieces of artillery. It was said that the members of the Regency were making dispo sitions for retreating into France. Baron d'Ertot.t.es had attempted to introduce a slight degr ee of disci pline into the Insurgent force of Catalonia, but great numbers immediately abandoned the colours of the Faith, and, dividing into small parties, delivered themselves up to theft and pillage. On the part of the Government at Madrid, great activity is apparent in taking measures for suppressing the insurrection. Several Officers of the Sraff had left Madrid on the 22d, for the sth and 6th military districts, bearing peremptory orders to the Generals commanding in those provinces, that within t 4 hours _ should marchfrom each of them for... Catalonia. The division of Constitutionalist! which - left Reuss in pursttii of the Insurgentk who occupied Masos de Mora, has entirely dispersed them; after having killed two hundred men. 9000 troopsi , P, " ~;«" . We learn from St. Sebastian, that Colonel SAUvs• l GUS has attacked the Insurgents commanded by ZA• VALA, to the number of six or seven hundred, in the neighbourhood of Beizama, and pursued them till ten o'clock at night. The route was so complete, be only saved himself with a few men ; all the rest dis persed in the mountains and in the woods. Six pri soners were shot instantly. At Oviedo, DE PotA, the Chief of the conspiracy, has been condemned to death; his sentence has been sent for the appmbation of the Commandant General of Valladolid. Fuss AT l'Ams, OCTOSES s.—Ftve per Cents. se. B.lc. This forenoon we received intelligence from Bayonne to the SOth ultimo. The Spanish Mail had arrived on the preceding day, . • only twenty hours after the regular time, which proves that the Constitutional forces have cleared the road, and taken energetic measures to secure as open communication between France and Spain. The accounts from Madrid in these Papers, are to the 24th ult. one day later than the intelligence from that capital in the French Papers. It is said that the Duke de l'lNea NTADO has written a letter to his Ma jesty (which is printed), representing the hardship of his case, in being first taken from his family and sent to Corunna, notwithstanding his ill health, and With- out being guilty of any crime that he is conscious of, which hardship is greatly increased by a subsequent order from his Majesty, addressed to .the Governer of Corunna, which commands him to put the Duke on board the first vessel bound to the Island of Ibiza (Ivica), which is assigned him as the place of his ba nishment. The Duke objects to so long a voyage, without liberty to select a convenient vessel, exposed besides to the Insurgent corsairs in the Atlantic, and to the Algerines in the Mediterranean. His health, he says, has been for some years so precarious that he has been obliged to use some mineral waters every spring, which he has not been able to do this year, not being at liberty. Such a voyage, and the con finement in a small island, will be still more inju rious. All these circumstances tend to throw an ad ditional stigma on him, and to hold him up to the nation as some great and notorious criminal, since otherwise, such harsh measures must seem quite un necessary. For all these reasons, he solicits that he may be permitted to go to Denia, or Alicant, there to embark for Ibiza. This letter is dated September 6. The answer of the King is not yet made known. The French party is said to be gradually losing ground in Spain, while that of the English has been for some time past gaining. " The Constitutional Spaniards," says one of the Madrid Journals, " en tertain the fullest confidence, that in case of foreign attack, Great Britain will not abandon them, and that this nation will not be indifferent to the sacri fices which may be made in its favour. The rising of the Spanish funds abroad adds to this confidence. They even speak almost positively of a commercial treaty between the two Powers as near at hand, and our zealous patriots intimate that England will derive greater advantages from an alliance with Spain than by a participation in the projects of the Holy Alliance; and the more so, as the English would be happy to get possession of a good Spanish Colony, were it even the island of Cuba, which Spain will most pro bably lose, seeing the spirit of independence which has manifested itself there, and the impossibility of retaining possession of it. In short, people seem well disposed to reject all foreign interference, by making all imaginable sacrifices." Great preparations were making in Madrid for the civic fete to be celebrated on the 24th ult. in honour of the National Militia and the garrison, for their heroic conduct on the 7th of July. The Committee appointed by the Municipality has presented the plan of the fete, which consists of twenty-seven Ar ticles, of which the following are the principal: 1. This fete shall be celebrated in the Prado. 2. That the National Militia, the garrison, the Halberdiers, and armed Patriots, shall have a plain military repast, such as befits the sons of a poor but free nation. 3. That there shall be, however, four principal tables, for 50 persons each, which shall be placed in suitable situations. 4. That the Municipality shall furnish at its expense 750 ta bles, each for twelve persons, for the 9000 Citizens who are to partake in this Fete—the first of the kind that has been seen in Spain. 5. A certain sum per man shall be given to each company, to provide its own repast, and have it brought to the Prado. The other Ai tides relate to the order which the Corps in the Municipality are to observe in this Fete. They are to pals before the stone of Ahe Constitution, singing the National Hymn. The following are further extracts from the Ma 'drid Ripers: of the MADRID, SEPTEMBER 23. Our Journals contradict the news published by the Defenders of the Faith, of advantages which they say they have obtained over the Constitutional troops in Lower Arragon, and on the banks of the Cinca. On the contrary, the reports of all the Commanders of the moveable columns are full of details of the success of the Patriots; and it is exactly on the 16th, 17th, and 18th, that these events have taken place, which casts a doubt on the news published by the Journals of Tounokof a victory gained oothelBth by Baron d'Erolles, at Bensvani, where this General could not be on that day, because on the.l2th he was fighting before Cardona with General Boren, who had repulsed him and gained great advantages over hints The Constitutional columns on the right of the Ebro b in the district of Castelani, in Arragon, have beta equally fortunate, so that the approaching nra v • e ., ments of Mina, who only waited to have his flanks free, will recover the cause of the Constitutionalist s in Catalonia, where the troops and the militia ale greatly encouraged by the vigorous proceedings of the new Ministry. Neither Manresa nor Cardona is in the power of the Royalists, as some journals have published: on the contrary, General ILoten maintains his groUnd, protects Vich, and even gives assistance to Cardona, which is closely pressed by 'the Defenders of the Faith, and which Baron d'Erolles desired to take. It' is now asserted that he has renounced this project, and etired towards Urgel. Such is the substance of the news from Catalonia, published in the journals of the 20th, 21st, 22d, and 23d. As for the state of the provinces of the interior, it is satisfactory; not but that people's minds are agitated and impatient for the result of Mimes expedition, and particularly for the issue of the Congress at Verona. The Cure Atanasio, who had raised the hand in the environs of Toledo, was taken by the Constitution :Lists on the 18th, in the wood of Berscal, near to Malpiea. ' The Government has ordered 2,000 men from Arragon, and 2,000 from Navarre, to proceed to Catalonia. Staff Officers are gone from the elle to see that this order is punctuagy executed. The Minister at War urges military operations with the rapidity of lightning. • His Majesty has appointed General Don Francisco DisniosoVives Governor-General of the Nand of Cuba. The Journals insert the Decree of his Majesty of the 10th July, for the repartition of the 20 millions of reals to be paid by the Clergy of the Peninsula and the adjacent islands. Whatever may be said, the inferior Clergy in Spain are now poor, becaure the people refuse to pay half the tithes. This contribution, which will be levied rigorously, must therefore fall on the superior Clergy. Zaldivar is closely pursued by Captain A-bad, in the environs of Lebrija. The Universal loudly condemns the attests made by the Patriots of Barcelona, of the individuals wlto were embarked from that port in the night of the sth. The Erpectador of the 23d says—" The French Ambassador is taking the waters at Lagrange: the season seems not very proper for bathing, as we hear from that place that the weather is extremely cool." New York Papers arrived this morning to the 12th September. NEW 'YORK, SEPTEMBER to. Further particulars of the capture of the Spanish brig Pancheta, alias Palmera, by the Grampus : On Captain Gregory coming up to hail her, he re quested her flag to be lowered, which was answered by firing a part of her broadside at the Grampus, who returned it with a full broadside, when the Spanish flag was instantly lowered, and the'vessel surren dered. On taking possession of her she was found in a sinking state, and eleven of her clew killed and wounded ; they were all safely lodged on board the Grampus. She mounted eight 18-pounders, and one long brass French 18-pounder, and had a gang of 92, as her clew, on board. SEPTEMBER 11. FRONI RIO JANEIRO.—The Government have taken up :vessels to take away part of the troops from Monte Video. An election for Members of the Cortes of the Brazils had taken place, and that body WAS to assemble in the course of three months. The Depu ties from Pernambuco had arrived. A fleet fitted out at Rio by the Government of Brazil had sailed to blockade St. Salvadcre. During the last week, there died at Philadelphia, adults 88, children 44, total 82, including only live of bilious fever. In this city the deaths were 73. PROM A PIIILADELPIIIA PAPER OF SUL 7. Captain Matlock, of the ship Florida, from Liver pool, is the bearer of important dispatches from cyar Ministers at the Courts of St. Janiees, St. Peters burgh, and Madrid, all of which were fur warded to Washington on Saturday last. Letters from Bahia, dated the 3d of August, re present that place as in a most unsettled state — every shop is cicsed ; all business suspended, any place turned into a complete camp. The Militia had been placed on hard duty, and every Brazilian dis armed and prohibited from leaving the walls. The PRINCE REGENT had declared open war agAinst all the European troops in the provinces, and every means were adopting to repel the expected attack front his forces. Advice. have been received from the Cape of Gerd Hope to the 6th July. Tire Arethusa brig had :+•- rived there with a number of young men on bo-rd, ssho had been selected and educated for the exp►ess purpose of teaching the English language to the ra- Lives of that Colony at the public expense. They were to be settled, without loss of time, in the moq convenient situations for the object intended. A Pro clamation had in consequence been issued by Lord CHARLES Somßama., announcing the arrival of these teachers, and giving notice that the English language
