At five o'clock in the morning Boniest Pomier, Goubin, and Raoulk, were removed from the Bicetre, and conveyed to the Conciergerie. About nine o'clock M. MONTMERQUE, President of the Court of Assizes, attended them to receive any declarations they might feel disposed to make. The ATTORN6Y GENERAL also visited them, and it is pretended that they made some disclosures. The execution took place at a cparter past five o'clock in the afternoon, in the Place de Greve. Numei ous troops were stationed on the bridges and the quays, from the Palace of Justice to the Place de Greve. At a few minutes after five, the four con demned prisoners left the Conciergerie. They were placed on two cat riages. Each had a Clergyman with him. The courage and firmness which they had shewn during the trial did not abandon them for a moment.• With countenances calm and resigned, they traversed the silent multitude ranged along the way through which they passed. They saluted the persons they recognized, and who made farewell signs to them. On arriving at the place of execution, they displayed the same coolness ; and to each of them may be applied the expression of M. de CHA• TEA ÜBRIAND" He died with the firmness of a sol dier, and the gentleness of a youth." One of the French papers says that they were very attentive to the Ministers of Religion, and all kissed the crucifix at the foot of the scaffold. Another jour nal states, that on their passage from the Conciergerie to the Place de Greve, they almost the whole time affected to turn their heads from the side where the Priests were. When Goubin arrived at the scaffold, he cried out, " Vivc la Liberte !" The intelligence from Madrid in the French Papers is to the 11th instant. The new Spanish Ministers continue to act with great candour and firmness. Aware of the difficult situation in which they are placed, they do not hesitate to conceal it, but rely on their own integrity and the good sense of the Spanish Nation for support. A Royal Decree has been issued for convoking the Extraordinary Cortes, which is to meet on the 7th of October. The first preparatory meeting will take place on the Ist. This document is interesting, as frankly declaring the state of the country, and the measures necessary to restore it to tranquillity. It is as follows : " His Majesty, in consequence of the great evils which weigh heavily on Constitutional Spain, being persuaded that the Na tion, represented by the Cortes, can alone supply the resources indispensable for a prompt and effectual cure, has thought it fit that they should assemble, and has ordered the same to be made known to the Permanent Deputation of the Cortes. The said Extraordinary Cortes shall direct their attention— " lit. To furnish the Government with resources in men and money sufficient to meet the wants of the State, and to deliver the nation without delay from the factious bands which infest the frontier provinces. _ . 2. To the arrangement of affairs of high importance with some Foreign Powers. " 3. To give the Spanish Army a new organization, according to the Military Ordinances, the discussion of which was suspended in the last Legislature, and the placing of which in harmony with the existing institutions is most important. " 4. To the code of legal process so necessary for the prompt and impartial administration of justice. " The objects above indicated are those which his Majesty wishes in the first instance to submit to the deliberation of the Extraordinary Cortes, reserving to himself the right of address ing to them some other subjects which may require a speedy decision. Finally, his Majesty orders it to be made known to the Permanent Deputation, that it will afford him much satis faction to find that the installation of the Extraordinary Cones shall experience as little delay as possible." The most perfect tranquillity prevails in Madrid, and the people manifest the fullest confidence in the measures adopted by the Ministry for re-establishing the peace of the interior. The battalion of the volunteers of Catalonia, and the Itlaiaga regiment of provincial militia, amounting to 1%000 men, embarked on the Ist at Malaga, for Barcelona, where the insurgents still excite tumults. An article from that. city, dated the 11th inst. states, that numerous arrests have taken place among per sons supposed to be unfriendly to the new system.— Sixty of these persons have been embarked. The place of their destination is dot known. The country is covered with Royalist bands, and new ones are formed drily.—A list is then given of the persons arrested and embarked, chiefly priests, monks, mili tary officers, and persons in public employments. • A corps of 10,000 men is now assembled between '~~ ~F ::.~. Navarre and Biscay. On the arrival of these- troops, the banditti which had desolated BliesHy dispersed. Notwithstanding -all that has been asserted of Turkish victories and the annihilation of the Greeks, 'every day proves their falsehood, and that on the' -contrary, the success has been on the side of the Greeks. Two letters from Coif% dated the 7th andi 19th of August, confirm the previous teports gene rally, and assert positively that CHOULICHID PACHA, the Generalissimo of the Turkish Armies, was forced to return to Larissa with only 3,000 out of all the force lay had collected together, amounting as was said to 40,000 men. These letters farther state, that so far from the Greeks having been defeated in Epirus, they had been victorious in every quarter, and that the Suliots in particular had greatly distin guished themselves by their bravery. The writer re marks that the Greeks ought not to boast of their successes, for they have to fight with a contemptible population. One of the Chiefs of Upper Albania (in that part of which the inhabitants are neither Greeks nor Turks) had completely destroyed" the Ottoman army in that quarter. But the letters in question give another piece of very important intelligence which had reached Corfu, namely, that the Greek and Turkish fleets met off ' Zante—that an engagement took place, in which the Greeks were completely victorious, and succeeded in taking six or seven small frigates and corvettes (no line:of-battle ships are mentioned),and in sinking some others—that six Turkish ships took shelter in Marto, a port facing Corfu (and as this port is in sight of the town, 'we presume the vessels were seen going in there)—that the rest sought shelter in Zante—that the Public Authorities there protested against their remaining, but the Ticks refused to go away, and General ADAM having received an account of this from Cephalonia, proceeded direct to Zante. So far the account with respect to this battle ; bet it is proper to add, that the writer says he does not pledge himself for its truth. However, one should suppose that all these details—the refusal of the fleet to idve Zante, the departure of General ADAM in consequence to Zante, and the arrival of the six Turkish ships in Murto, a port opposite to Corfu, and which consequently must have been seen—could hardly have been mere inventions. The Gazette of Augsburg has recovered from its despondency as to the affairs of Greece, and states that the Tut ks were beaten several days successively by CoLocoraoNt. Indeed, there seems little doubt that the incursion of CHOURSCHID PACHA into the Morea had completely failed ; he is said to have evacuated Corinth, and retired towards Trecala and Larissa. An article from Ancona, dated September 3, says : Important news is expected from the sea in the neighbourhood of the Morea. The Greek fleet of 90 sail has arrived there with fire-vessels constructed in America. The Turkish troops have set fire to Foskan, an important town of Wallachia. Some Greeks have been assassinated at Bucharest. The Hospodars who have returned to that tows, have written to their emi grant friends, counselling them not yet to return." This forenoon we received Bayonne Papers to the 18th. Sir WILLIAM A'Cowir, our Minister to Spain, arrived at Bayonne on the lith inst. float Paris, on his way to Madrid. There is no certain news of Quraana since the affair of the 7th, but the return to France of the Apostolic Junta of Navarre, as well as of several other individuals, seems to shew that General ESPINOSA has dislodged the Defenders of the Faith from the mountains of Navarre, with the exception of Ir ati, which he reconnoitred on the 13th inst. with 1,500 men. It is even asserted that he has sent to Pomp . eluna for two heavy cannon to bombard this fort, and that he has employed workmen to make a road for the more easy conveyance of these pieces.—The following are extracts: I BAYONNE, SEPTEMBER 16. The Journal of St. Sebaltian, of the 13th, an nounces officially the complete defeat of the band of Zabala and his associates, in the neighbourhood of Aspeitia, on the 10th of this month. The result was the entire dispersing of the band, which consisted of 1,000 men. Forty were killed, and six taken pri sonets—three of whom were shot on the spot, and the three others pardoned, they having proved that they served by compulsion. The rest dispersed among the mountains, This defeat is confirmed by the ar rival at the port of "Socoa (in France), last night, of two Spanish boats, having on board thirty-five of the Defenders of the Faith in a deplorable condition, who have been all put under quarantine. These poor creatures relate that, in fact, the bands of Zabala,, Guesala, Uranga, &c. have been beaten and dispersed, and that they are not the only persons who will seek refuge in France in consequence of this affair. We have just received the correspondence from Spain of the 9th, which arrived at Irun with an escort. I The letters of the 12th, which should have come to ' day, will not arrive till to-morrow, but everything shews that the Spanish Government has taken ener getic measures to secure the communication. The following are some extracts : 31ADRID, SEPTEMBER 9. IThere is no indication of anything to interrupt the publii tranquillity of the Capital at present ; the en thusiasm for the new system increases in proportion to the obstacles which are raised against it, and neither the progress of the Royalists in Catalonia, u hick can not be disputed, nor the alarming reports *bids • Y 1,177, . gents that M. de Lapanouze, whom it has always placed at the head of the protettory of the Trappists and 6f Eguia t had ordered 10,000 chakos (soldiers' cape) foe the Army of the Faith; that he had, indeed, given counter orders, but had been obliged to take 2000, which were already made. The same Journal pre tends that, according to letters from Parisrand from the frentiers, the plan is, to form a line of insurrec tion from Catalonia to the Basque Provinces, in order to furnish the Holy Alliance, in the Congress at Ve rona, with an opportunity to support the interference of Fiance in our dissensions; but it flatters itself that this line will not be formed, and it shews the ne cessity of proving to all Europe that we have suffi cient strength to punish our internat enemies, and that we are inclined and resolved to defehd our in dependence against all foreign attacks. The Journals give no news of the military opera dons in Catalonia ; the reports in the Universe!, how ever, shew that General Torrijos has been forced in his position at Cervera by the Royalists, and that he had•no communication with Barcelona. Manresa and 'Mataro were closely pressed on the 30th by the Ca talonian troops, commanded by Baron d'Erolles, who had fixed his head-quarters at Berga, having under his immediate orders the flower of the Army of the Faith, composed of about 10,000 men, well armed and disciplined. Manresa and Mataro were fortified, and had adopted several internal measures of defence. The Univcrsel of the 7th states the resistance which the battalion of Lugo made on its passage through Villa Franca. On the 22d, in the evening, after re ceiving orders to march to Astorga, they uttered seditious cries against the Constitution ; and when the Commander harangued the battalion on the 24th they refused, and the march was postponed till the next day. They had taken it into their heads that as soon as they entered Castille, they were to be incorporated into the standing army, and that their Officers were to leave them. This mis conception being, with some difficulty, removed by the exertions of their Officers, they consented to march the same day for Astorga, whence they will probably have been sent to Valladolid. The band of Rojo de Valderas, which infests the Province of Valladolid, has been completely beaten and dispersed at Belver de los Montes. The interest of the loan is regularly paid in the capital, amidst all the embarrassments which the Go_ vernment experience at this moment. Extract of a letter from the Agent to LLOYD'S, at Buenos Aires, dated June 23.—" It is reported that the island of Chiloe has surrendered to the force which was sent against it by the Government of Chili, in the end of March." The Paris journals state, that the Duke of Wit- Ltacroa was to set out for Vienna on Saturday, and that he was expected to reach that city on the 29th. We are sorry to learn that the health of his Grace is by no means re-established. The nature as well as the cause of his Grace's indisposition are variously stated; we believe the first attack was occasioned by the ap plication of a violent remedy to cure a temporary deafness, or perhaps the gradual approach of that in firmity, which is said to have wholly affected his head, and to have produced great agony and fever ; so that at one time his medical attendants are rumoured to have apprehended disastrties consequences, their patient did not procure ease in the course otit:certain night. The balm of rest came, and convalescence followed. The melancholy death of the Marquis of LONDONDERRY is also said to have so far affected his Grace as considerably to retard the recovery of :his health. Mr. eANNING . II name appears in last night's Ga zette affixed to a Proclamition, 'offering a pardon to all, except the immediate incendiary, who shall cover the persons who set fire to a barn belonging to the Earl of CARNARVON, in Wiltshire.

Lord MELBOURNE has returned to town from Earl COWPER's seat, Pansenger, Herts. Westminster Hall is fi lled with workmen, and the works preparatory to the building of the new Law' Courts are rapidly proceeding. Mr. BANICES, in the' Course of the last Session of Parliament, moved for an account of the probable expense of building the new Courts,which was presented by Mr. ARBVTIINOT. It has since been printed, and estimated at 100,000/. and the commencement of the work to its completion will require three - years. The fine front of that ancient Palace, Northumber land House, begins to assume a splendid and elegant appearance. The architectural comments, and parti cularly the armorial bearings'of the Duke of NO It• TIIUMBEtti.a Nu, have been repaired and beautified "by the workmen. St. Bride', Church, fleet -street, is undergoing a thorough repair. The workmen in Drury-Lane Theitre are inces santly at work previous to its opening. «,.. THE ARMY.

Previously to administering the oath to the 3lem • rs assembled for the trial, the JUDGE. A ovOcars, ac usual in all cases, addressed the prisoner, saying, it was his duty to announce to him that if he had oh. jection to any Member of the Court, it would be pro per for him to mention it. when their names were called over, and before such Member was sworn. Captain Jebb stated, that he objected only to two Officers.of the Blues, and was about t o specify them, when the JUDGE- ADVOCATE interfered, and said, that the time would be when they were about to. be sworn; Captain Jebb sat down. The JUDGE-ADVOCATE proceeded to swear in the Members, among the first of whom w ere C o l one l C. Hill (brother to Lord Hill), and Colonel Drake, M.P. of the same 11.4.....iment. The prisoner repeated his objection, which, it appeared, was directed against these two Officers. The JUDGE-ADVOCATE immediately intimated to these two Officers, that they should sit down for the present, while the others were sworn, when the ob jection would be taken into consideration ; airsl at the same time asked Captain Jebb, if he meant to object against any of the other Members? To which he aa• swered, « Certainly not." The remainder of the Members were then sworn in. This ceremony having been gone through, tl.•e JUDGE-ADVOCATE rose and said, that two Members of the Court had been challenged, and that, there fore, previously to entering upon the business of the day, it would be necessary to close the Court for the purpose of investigating the subject ; and that Court wolild probably (as he should conceive it duty to advise) require that Captain Jebb should st.e.e his grounds of objection. The prisoner requested that his Counsel might Le permitted to state his grounds of challenge, which he had already submitted to the Duke of York. The JUDGE-ADVOCATE intimated, that anything which Captain Jebb had to state to the Court in sup port of his objection, would of course be received, and duly attended to. Mr. SCOTT then submitted in writing an objection, which the JUDGE-ADVOCATE read to the Court, and Which was as follows : " That as it would, it was hoped, be proved that the 'present charges had originated in an entire misconception on the part of the prosecutor, there was reason to believe, that Lieutenant-Co lonel Clement Hill being of the same Regiment, and brother of the prosecutor, Sir Robert Chambre Hill, necessarily partook of the influence of that misconception; and that Colonel Drake bad already expressed himself in a manner that proved him to have already decided upon the charges. " lie said, at the same time, that there were other causes of challenge, but that Captain Jebb was desirous, from motive; of delicacy to the Officers themselves, of avoiding to make them public ; thatit was in consequence of this delicacy that he had, at the moment of which he was aware of their appointment, ap plied to the Adjutant-General, and, also, he believed, to the Might Honourable Pentleman's department." The JUDGE-ADVOCATE remarked,- that in the ap plication to his department, Captain Jebb was clearly in error, though ' . 14-bad no doubt it was done inad vertently, yet he (the Judge Advocate) being the Minister of the Court, it was improper to apply to him upon any subject connected- with the formation of the Members who vitti* - to sit upon it; as a subject of the present nature unfit:come before him . wheti the Court was assembled, and he would have to advise upon what should be done. He then made some ob servations upon the present objections, which he. would thus publicly declare he could not consider sufficient ; and such would be the opinion he should give to the Court when closed. Mr. SCOTT then observed, that it was with great diffidence that he should say anything that militated against such authority ; that he would only submit tor the purpose of recalling to the mind of the Right Hon: Gentleman, not merely the practiCe of the Courts Of Common Law, which were well understood by all ; but of Courts-Martial,- where even the cir cumstance of an. 011icer sitting out of his tour of that duty had been deemed sufficient for hit removal ; that it would necessarily be recollected on the part of Captain Jebb, . wltose delicacy upon the subject had been maikei by previously annOuncingbis ob jection to the authorities, and even to the:Officers themselves through the Adjutant, that it was not the individuals, but the common circumstances of our nature that he referred to; since it.could not be sup.. posed, that where Iklembers had previously. decided upon a ease,— The Junca-AuvocAra here stopped Mr. Scott, saying that if he meant to address the Court, he must be aware that that was not permittekto any one but the patties interested.—The Court was then closed. On re-opening the JUDGE-ADVOCATE announced the decision of the Court seriatim, upon the objec- Lions taken, and that they did not consider them of sufficient force.. He then desired to know of Captain Jebb if he persisted in his objections? and on being answered in the affirmative, stated that another had been handed to him on the part of Captain Jebb, and wished to know if it was his desire to urge it? Captain Jebb declared it was. The Court was then ordered to be closed. Previously to quitting the Court, Captain Jebb, at . the desire of his Counsel, begged to declare big im pression to the Court, that in no instance whatever had two Members continued to sit upon a Court after the objections that had been made. On the Court re-opening, The JunGE-.3.uvocAra annotumed that the whole some persons take pleasure in sereacyng, of an ap- preatftfing foreign invasion, can elosildsk the enthtt- Ow Gown, of the SiaSM and determinition to th e neer (Q t asesei a Namogia ca tions.
