Lions, and after it was read, the said Lieutenant-Ge neral assured them all, that only in case of a great I party being formed, and their going to seek him at his limo he would figure at the bead of the society, of the existence of which he had been previously in formed by Colonel Monteiro, and he 'hewed himself to all at- that moment, as one acquainted with it; tnat no other person, besides those already named by him, entered into the conspiracy ; the story of the re generating Council being a fiction. That he recog nised All the papers, which was presented to him,, and referred to in the Act, as being identically the same, and that the letter of credentials was his own hand. writing purposely disguised, that the note 'of the re gister was not by Cabral, and that the rubies and name which were found in it (the note), were apo cryi.hal ; that the ribbon owes bought by him, the ac cused, or by his comrade; and that a G, stitched with blue, which was at the top of the said ribbon, meant Government, and was also made by him, the accused : as also there were cut by him, the accused, on a piece of wood, three or four letters, which were I found engraved on the seal of green wax, and which , according to his recollection, were C.

(I'o be continued.) IiVICH MA/L. FROM THE FRENCH FRONTIERS, OCTOBER 26. From the dew lists of the preftnt strength of the different corps of the French army which now lie in garrison in Picardy, French Flanders, and Artois, it appears that the requisite number of officers is com plete, and that there are even many a la suitt; but thit of the men two-thirds are wanting, so that the legrons which are least incomplete scocely have 500 men. The same is the case with the cavalry. The artillery and the corps of uppers are the most com plete. The new instructions direct that the army must be brought slowly to the footing fixed for tire peace establishment...namely, every legion of infantry to l'2oo men, and every regiment of cavalry to 600 men. Several old soldiers have lately offered them selves to be taken into the service again, but great precautions are observed in the choice of them. HAGUE, OCTOBER 29.

'The conspiracy, it will be seen, had its origin in a jealousy of the influence of foreign nations, particulaey England, over the affairs of Portugal ; and had for its object, the establish. meat, not of any republican system, but of a consti tutional monarchy. The sentence of Baron Esse has, owing, it is said, to the interference of an illus trious personage in England, been commuted into banishment. The arrival of the Mary, at Liverpool, as noticed in our Naval List of yesterday, with intelligence from Bombay down to the 11th of Jane, has happily set at rest all the apprehensions entertained of an ap proaching war with the Mahratta Powers. The vi gorous measures pursued against the Penntwa have rifectully incapacitated that treacherous chieftain from doing as further injury; and HOLEAR and SCISDIAH have positively pledged themselves to assist Lord Harrtsos in crushing the Pindarree power. Money to any amount can now be had in India at the rate of 6 per cent. interest ; and the Company's bills yield a premium which tends to add to the pub lic confidence in a state of uninterrupted tranquillity. i By the last accounts from Heraut, MAHOMED KHAWN s AKAlig CAMAR, and the son Of IBRAHIM ] Knawn, bad surrounded the fort of Mahmoodahad with 5000 horse and several pieces of cannon ; they were, however, successfully attacked by the sons of KHAW., who with 8000 horse, assisted by a body of 1200 infantry *bich sallied from the fort, gained a complete victory t 2500 men are stated to l bate been killed on the part of the vanquished.-1 MAHOidin KHAWN, after his defeat, had Med to the mountains, and the Prince Fulton ut.
