Those of the latter day are principally filled with a report of the proceedings of the Court of Cassation on the appeals of Caron, lately sentenced to death at Strasburg, and also of Berton and his ac complices. In the case of the former, the appeal came too late. A telegraphic dispatch from Strasburg, of October 1, announced that Caron had that day been executed. The Advocate for Caron expressed his surprise at this precipitancy, as sufficient time had not been al lowed for the appeal being brought. lie then in quired of the Court whether, and in what shape, the Court would entertain the appeal ?—The Court, after a short deliberation, decided that there was no ground for bringing this case before the Court. The affair of Berton and his accomplices was then heard, and, after a long pleading on behalf of the several ilefendants, the Court decided against them all. On the point relative to the conduct of M. DRAULT, the Advocate who had refused to speak for Berton, the Court decided, that as the Counsel had been regularly appointed, his partial discharge of the duties of his office could not be allowed to operate to nullify the proceedings, inasmuch as the Court was in no way instrumental to such failure of his duty. The appeal was therefore dismissed. The prisoners, with the exception of Jagelin and Sauge, who are to be executed at Thouars, will suffer at Poitiers, in the public square. It is officially announced in all the Journals, that the KING, on the representation of the Keeper of the Seals, has commuted the sentence of Fradin and of Seneschault to imprisonment for 20 and 15 years. It appears that the wife of Fradin, accompanied by the wife of another prisoner, probably Seneschault, had on the previous day presented Petitions to the Duchesses of ANGOULEME and BERRY, who had pro mised to intercede with the KINCI. The French Papers abound with speculations on the subject of the approaching Congress. In the Aloniteur there is an article, under the head of Frank fort, dated the 26th ult. in which it is said, that" the political barometer, which is transmitted daily by commercial letters from Vienna, is entirely for the preservation of peace." It is then stated, that the principal bankers in that capital, and who are deeply interested in the Austrian Funds, act upon that opi nion, and continue to purchase largely ; as those Funds would suffer a very great depression in the event of hostilities, it is inferred that the bankers of Vienna are in possession cf intelligence which renders their speculations is the Funds perfectly safe. The Constitutionnel is not so sanguine as to peace. " We entertain no doubt (says the Editor) of the good intentions of the Monarchs who are to meet atVerona, but we may be permitted to fear the intrigues of the Diplomatists, and the influence of privileged interests. The tranquillity of Europe depends on the union of the interests of the People with that of their Kings ; the holy Alliance will then be the strongest guarantee of the repose and of the happiness of nations." The accounts from the Morea, which are to the '2Bth ult. are favourable to the Greeks ; and private letters from Leghorn, dated the 16th of September, are not less satisfactory. The Greek fleet, which con sisted of 100 ships, had put to sea, and was in the best condition. These letters further say, that the Turkish fleet was in a wretched state of disease, and would very soon be obliged to leave the Morea for want of proper equipments. From Trieste a letter of the 20th ult. states that, the day before, a vessel had arrived there from Catacola, near Patras, which sailed from that place on the 27th of August. By this channel letters had been received which fully confirm all the successes of the Greeks over the Turks which we communicated on Friday last. Further particulars are anxiously expected, for the Greeks are certainly not put down. A letter from Bourdeaux, of the 27th ult. states, that the publication there of the Royal Ordinance, by which the Sanatory Cordoq is wetted inOo an " Army of Observation," had csiik, a rise in the value ofinovisions, and all articles requisite for the supply of an army. It is added, that orders had been issued by the French Government for the put cikse of grain and forage in several departments of the South of France. The eleventh Military Divisiodt which formed no part of the Sanatory Cordon, is added to the Army of Observation. On the subject of the pretended- victory of the Royalist party in Navarre, commanded by the Baron d'EnoLcas, over the Constitutionalists, the Constitff tiwasel observes, that "on compiriag dates, and other circumstances, it is easily perceived that this is one of the thousand lies which the certainty that it, will be refuted to-morrow does not prevent certain: Journalists from publishing to-day." The Duke of Wet.t.ixoxon was expected to reach Vienna on the 30th ult. The Allied Monarchs, im patient of his arrival, are said on the 23d to have dispatched a messenger to meet his Grace, and to request him to repair to Munich, through which city the Sovereigns would pass on their way to the Con gress of Verona. It was understood the Members of the Holy Alliance, with the respective Ministers, would leave Vienna on the Ist instant, and arrive at Verona on the 15th, soon after which day . the deli berations were expected to commence. The Editors of the French Journals announce, as inserted by desire, that " General Berton, having ceased to belong to the Royal Swedish Order of the Sword, his name has been erased from the list of the Knights of that Order." It appears by letters from Turin of the 24th ult. that the life of the infant Prince of CARIGNANO has been exposed to serious danger. His nurse having approached too near to his bed with a lighted taper, the curtains caught fire, and though succour was promptly obtained, the young Prince was severely burnt in the right hand and in his left side. The following are further extracts: PARIS, OCTOBER 4. Tuesday, as Madame was entering the Thuilleries, and alighting at the Pavilion, a Lady threw herself into the middle of the escort of Cavalry, which threw her down unintentionally. She immediately got up without receiving the slightest injury. She held in her hand a Petition, which she wished to present to Madame. Her Royal Highness, perceiving the cir cumstance, sent one of the Officers to ask the Peti tion. It is said that this Lady is the wife of Fradin, who was condemned to death by the Court of Poi tiers : she was also accompanied by the wife of ano ther of the condemned.• They came to beg the Royal, clemency for their husbands. The Duchess of Berry has also received a Petition from these Ladies. We are assured that both the Pt incesses have interceded with the King in their behalf. His Majesty, upon the report of the Keeper of the Seals, has deigned to commute the sentence of death passed on Fradin, to twenty years imprisonment, and that of Seneschault to fifteen years. Both these were accomplices of Berton, and were condemned by the Court of Assizes at Poitiers.—Journal des Debats.

This forenoon we received Hambnrgh Papers to the 2d instant, and Dutch Papers to the sth. The latter do not contain an article of the slightest. im portance. The following are extracts from the Ham burgh Papers : STOCKHOLM, SEPTEMBER w. In the night of the 9th instant several shocks of an earthquake were felt at Carlstadt. His Majesty will not reach Christiana before the 27th. There is a re port that a proposal will be made in the Storthing to employ the money deposited in the Bank, to pay by anticipation the debt to Denmark. Since the Ist of September, ,1819, 900,000 tit dollars, Hamburgh Banco, of the Norwegian Debt, have been paid by in stalments, so that there still remain 2,100,000 rix dollars to pay. It is believed that die result of the negotiations at Copenhagen will be the payment ofl this remainder of 1,750,000 rix dollars at the most ; and it is probable that these negotiations are now terminated. The Deputies of the States of the Kingdom who are entrusted with the revision of the public debt, had an audience of his Majesty the day he set out for Norway, and received from him the joyful infor mation of the approaching marriage of the Crown Prince. COPENHAGEN, SEPTEMBER 24. On the 12th of this month there was a dreadful storm at Aalborg, during which a shock of an earth quake is said to have been felt in several placer. CHRISTIANA, SEPTEMBER 20. On the 19th a Deputation, consisting of nine Mein. bers of the Extraordinary Storthing, waited on the assembled Members of the Norwegian Government, and announced that the Storthing had constituted itself according to the regulatloas, and requested that the Sittings might be opened by his Majesty. His Excellency Count Sandels, Governor of Norway, then stated, that by a gracious rescript from his Majesty he was authorized to open the Stooling in his Ma jesty's name, and that it should be done at noon the following day. The opening of the Storthing was I then solemnly proclaimed b, heralds, according to custom. HANOVER, SEPiEhIBER 10.

The proceedings in the Cortes, on the subject of the Brazils, possess consi derable interest. They are calculated to hasten that separation of the two countries which has long ap peared luevitable.--The following are extracts : LISBON, SEPTEMBER SITTINO - 01 THE CORTES, IMPTICINEER 20. The Order of the Day was' the debate on the opi nion of the Committee of the Constitution, on the motion - of Senor Miranda. After a considerable debate the Ist Article was put to the vote, and ap provedin its original form. • Art-1. The Decree of the 3d of June tut, convoking Consti tuent Cortes in Brazil, is null. An addition to this article, proposed by Senor Xavier Monteiro, was discussed. Senor Barrata dis approved of it, saying it might lead to fatal conse quences, andthat the Prince might call the Emperor of Austria to his aid.—(These last words Caused con siderable noise, not only in the Assembly but in the galleries, which was not appeased till the President had several times called to order.) —The addition was rejected. Some Members having spoken on the 2d, 3d, 4th, sth, 6th, and 7th Articles, they were approved, l as follows: e. The Minister or Ministers who signed this Decree we highly responsible for the illegality of so despotic a determination, and shall be Impeached. 3. The Government of Rio Janeiro, disobeying the Cores, and constituting itself Independent, is a Government de facto and not a Government de jure, and the voluntary obedience of any Authority will be criminal. These two Articles are rather different from the form in which they were at first proposed. In the 3d, after the word Independent, were the words against the inclination of the People of Brazil, which were omitted on the motion of Senor Benet° Feio, who observed, that from this it might be inferred that if the Government of Rio Janeiro had acted thus with the consent of the People of Brazil, it would be a Government de jure, and consequently it would fol low, that any Province of which an Empire was com posed might declare itself independent at its own pleasure, a principle so monstrous, that no person, however democratical, has ever yet maintained it— so absurd, that it cannot enter into any head where there is the smallest spark of reason or common sense. 4. The delegated power given to the Prince being at an end. the King is immediately to appoint a Regency, to exercise the delegated power as decreed by the Constitution. 5. The Prince Royal is to embark directly for Portugal' within one month after the present Decree shall be notified to him; and if, contrary to expectation, he should not obey this decision, the measures shall be taken which the Constitution provides when the King or the Prince go out of the kingdom without the permission of the Cortes. 6. Any Commander of the Sea or Land Forces who shall obey the actual Government of Rio de Janeiro, shall be ac counted a traitor, unless compelled to it by force. 7. The Government shall, by all the means in its power, pro vide for the execution of these Resolutions. Two opinions of the Committee, relative to the refusal of some of the Brazilian Deputies to sign the Constitution, were discussed in the sitting of the 20th and 21st, and approved. The Committee judged the reasons alleged by these Deputies to be insufficient. In the Sitting of the 23d the Deputies signed the Constitution, 136 were present, 20 were absent. In the next Sitting four others signed. At the eud of this sitting the President said that the Constitution was now sealed and furnished with the signatures of the Secretaries, and he proposed that the Social Compact should be now declared to be complete. This was approved, and it was then declared that 16 Members had not signed, nine of whom had alleged sufficient reasons and seven had not assigned grounds. Amongst the former were four from Brazil,. the latter seven were all from Brazil. All the other Brazilian Depu ties signed. In the Sitting of the 25th, the Project of Decree was brought forward to create a new Order for the re ward of merit ; and on the 26th, the commercial re lations between Portugal and Brazil. On the 25th, Lisbon was witness of a most magni ficent and impressive ceremony—the procession of the Deputation of the Cortes, to present to the King the Constitution of the Portuguese Monarchy. When I the President of the Deputation addressed his Ma jesty, and came to the passage where be said the King was at liberty to take the oath to the Constitution, or not, his Majesty interrupted him, and said he had already , sworn to the bases, and would keep his oath,' and that he now swore to the Constitution.

By the President, JAMES MONROE. NEW YORK, AUGUST 31. Captain Thompson, who arrived at Baltimore in seventeen days from Laguira, states that the Spanish General, Morales, had returned to Porto Cabello from Curacoa, and landed his troops. BOARD OF HEALTH.—The assistants reported that they had inspected four more stores in the infected ' district, making eleven in all, and that they had been unable to discover any putrid hides, or other dis cernible matter, that could infect the atmosphere. 'A long communication was received from Dr. Ackerly, who states that the prevailing fever, he is willing to believe, was imported ; but he has enumerated sundry causes that have a powerful agency in keeping it alive and spreading it, such as narrow streets and ditty lanes, sinks, and burial-grounds. There are but three new cases to-day. Among the depredations com mitted in the infected district, %se learn that several houses have been robbed. The accounts from Ireland this morning are of the same character as those which have lately reached us from that ill-fated country. What these are we may learn by- the proceedings of the Magistrates of the county of Cork, assembled at Mallow, on Saturday week last, where Lords DONERAILE and EmNtsmortu and eleven other highly respectable Magistrates at tended. A number of Resolutions were entered into on the sy stem of conflagration and outrage which pre vails in that country. One of them declares— " That scarcely a night passes in which some malicious de struction of property by fire does not take place ; that the pro perty so destroyed is, in general, corn or hay, set apart for tithe, or belonging to persons who have made an agreement with the Tithe Proctor." The following extract, from the Cork ltfernintile Chronicle of Wednesday, contains a new list of CONFLAGRATIONS. Saturday night, between the hours of ten and eleven o'clock, the extensive haggard of Mr. James Fitzgerald, of Faha, within about half a mile of Carrigbtowhill, was discovered to be on fire, and In a short time the whole stock contained in it, consisting of the produce of thirty acres of barley, five acres of vetches, thirty. five tons of hay, and two large stacks of oats, was entirely con sumed, together with a cabin immediately adjoining, to which the flumes communicated. The haggard was distant from Mr. Fitagerald's residence only two or three fields, yet such was the violence of the flames, that notwithstanding the short distance be and his family had to go to the spot, it became impossible to save any of the stock, and the atrocious ruffians who committed this daring and malicious outrage were gratified to the fullest extent, by the accomplishment of the utmost possible injury that could be effected. Such was the blaze which the fire sent forth that it was seen from Lapp's Island and the surrounding quays on Sa- • turday night, by many persons whose attention was drawn to it by the great glare of light that spread through the firmament., The distance is between seven and eight miles. Sunday morning the place was visited by several of the surrounding Magistrates and Gentry, but nothing was elicited which could lead to the dis covery of the offenders. One night last week, a very extensive haggard, belonging to Mr. Heffernan, was attempted tobt destroyed by setting fire to the centre stack. The smoke was discovered before it had ig nited by some of his neighbours, who immediately apprised Mr. Heffernan of it, and rendered their assistance in throwing down and removing the rest of the stack, which with the help of others immediately in Mr. H.'s employment) they succeeded in getting done, without any further loss than one stack. It was reported at Mallow, on Monday, that two men had been taken up the night previous, between that town and Fen. moy,having a red hot turf in a kettle. If the fact be so, there can be little doubt of their object. Monday night, two stacks of corn—one of wheat, the other of oats, were maliciously burned at Ballynansona ; the smoke front them, which had not entirely subsided yesterday, was witnessed by a Gentleman coming fkom Mallow to this city. FROM THE CLONMEL ADVERTISER. Sunday night last, a dwelling-house on the lands of Rosser The St. John Baptist, in 47 days from Pernam• town, near nudes, together with a quantity of wheat, mas • buco, has brought accounts of serious disturbances in burnt, and we bast every reason to suppose maliciously.
