~~ THE EVENING STAR. . LONDON. Vence, less than ever was known of the probable result of the sitting. Forty-nine Cardinals atter:led the Vatican ; and by the Canon of the Election, the approbation of two-thirds of the Cardinals present was necessary to constitute the validity of the appointmentto the Tiara. Sevaroli's excess over the prescribed number of votes was under three, which :hewed, as he was not directly supported by France, that the prize was anybody's, if skilfully sought. Cardinal Della Genga, the present Pope, stood very hip in the estimation of his brother Cardinals. It was this elevated character which secured his success. A very short time before Della filenga's election, even to the last night, he was scarcely spoken of as the future Pope by the secluded inhabitants of the Vatican; but his election appeared to be so identified with the welfare of the States of the Church, so consonant to the pro- sperity of the See, and so congenial to the interests of their religion, that in defiance of the intrigues of Austria and France, each supported by the minor States, a very small majority succeeded in placing at their head the Cardinal best calculated to ensure the stability and main tain the independence of the See. Since the decision, all parties seem reconciled to the event. Della Genga is characterised by his freedom from bigotry and superstition ; and in this election, England, who ought to be particularly gratified with the result, has not suffered from the preponder anee of continental influence; nor has the Holy Alliance strength ened itself. The Pope is in no way indebted for his chair to foreign assistance ; he commences his reign free from those shackles so prejudicial to the accession of nearly all his predecessors, and is free to exercise his uncontrouled functions for the benefit of all.

Lisbon Papers to the ‘2d instant reached us this morn ing. Their intelligence principally relates to Spain, and is interesting. It appears that the Spanish Army at Puerto Real and Chiclana had manifested such symp toms of revolt that General BoutotoNT deemed it neces sary to disarm them. Tw•o Proclamations had been issued at Cadiz ; the one ordering all strangers to repair to their respective Consuls, in order to their being regis tered ; and the other calling on all masters of houses to make a return of. the stranger; lodging w ith them, by eleven o'clock on the 13th ult. and threatening arrest and punishment in all cases of disobedience. The fol. luv. ing are extracts: LISBON, OCTOBER C 9. It is to-day that the troops of General Laguna, Go. vcrnor of Estrainadura, will enter Badajoz, in confor mity with the capitulation concluded between him and General Plasencia, the Governor of the fortress, on the 26th. The liberty of his Catholic Majesty has also been prod:tin - led at Olevenca, so that the dominion of the faction is at an end in these two extreme points of this side of Spain. CADIZ, OCTOBER 12. Don Carlos Fabre D'Aunoy e Macaiti, Governor of this city, has issued a proclamation to the following effect : . M I hereby give notice, that his Excellency General Bourmont, Contmandcr•in-Chitf of the French troops in Andalusia, has just sent me the following letter : have the honour to acquaint you, that being informed of the disorders purposely comtnitted, and of the cries uttered by the military forming part of the troops in Chiclana and Porto Real, without any measures being taken by the Commanders of the corps, and other officers, to repress such excesses, I caused the said troops at Porto Real and Chiclana to be disarmed this morning, in order to ensure the tranquiUlty of the inhabitants of those places. I wish, Sir, that you would have the goodness to publish this determination, th a t the people may know that I will protect their tranquillity, as I will not let any excess go unpunished. Accept, Sir, Bce. (Signed) Count de BOURMONT.' " 1 order the above to be printed and published for the informa tion of the inhabitants. " D'AUNOY. (Signed) " Cadiz, October 10, 1,113."

Vessels continue to be advertised as ready to sail for that country. French Papers to the Bth instant have reached us : but they contain no articles of intelligence entitled to remark, and few worth quoting. The Journal des Debats bas a piece of special pleading in order to justify the anticipated death of &zoo: and quotes the case of the gallant Duke of MONTROSE as a case in point; as well might the Editor seek to justify limo's death by the example of the followers of Louts XVI. who followed their Sovereign to the block. A Telegraphic Dispatch announces that Lerida was occupied by the French on the 31st of October, and that the troops of the garrison, consisting of 5000 men, are prisoners of war. The following extracts are from the • Journal des Debats of Friday : ANOTHER PROCLAMATION. a I hereby give notice, that it being requisite for the public se curity, that the Government should have accurate knowledge of all strangers who for any reason whatsoever are in this place, I have determined that in 24 hours, reckoning from II o'clock in the fore noon of the 15th inst. all masters of houses in which such strangers may reside, shall give notice to the Magistrate of their respective quarters, stating their number, nation, rank, professions, and time of residence in this city, informing them, that if contrary to expec tation, they should fail to comply with this measure, I shall be under the painful necessity of punishing their omission or disobe dience in a suitable manner.

We hated yesterday, that the Minister for Foreign AffLirs had always supported and demanded the inte gral renewal of the Chamber. We refer to a passage of one of his speeches in the Chamber of Peers spoken on the law project relative to the elections proposed in 181 G.—It is a remarkable circumstance, that the Cham ber of Deputies of 1815, had, by an amendment to the project, substituted -the integral for the partial renewal. We believe, however, that the Royalism of the Chamber of 1815, has never been denied. Let us hope that the Royalists who now oppose the integral renewal, will, upon reflection, return to their first opinion. Be this as it may, M. de Chateaubriand defended, in the Chamber of Peers, the amendment of the Chamber of Deputies. [Here a long extract from the speech is given.] MADRID, NOVEMBER 1. The Duke of Angouleme arrived here at half-past eleven. He entered Madrid with only 30 dragoons of the Guard and 30 gendarmes. His Royal Highness was accompanied by the Prince of Carignan. A circular of the Minister of Justice contains the following articles: " The King, wishing that all memory of the acts of the Govern ment of:Rebellion should disappear, orders that the Board of Public Credit shall cease to administer the Ecclesiastical property which has not been restored, because no claimant has yet appeared. " The Intendants shall consult with the Diocesan Prelates on the appointment of particular administrators of this property, who shall keep a special account of the respective revenues, and reserve the amount thereof to be delivered to the religious community to whom it may belong, as soon as the said community shaU be re-assembled.' SARIA. OCTOBER 29. There has been a commotion in Barcelona. Mina has . found rebels amongst his old accomplices. That revolu tionary chief has been obliged to take refuge in the midst of his troops, to save Ithuseif from the militia men. Ile has arrested the famous Costa, a chief of that band, 'equally turbulent and factious. MATARO, NOVEMBER 1. The troubles of Barcelona appear to be appeased, and there is reason to believe that we shall enter that city immediately. Marshal Moncey has sent to Paris the conditions of the capitulation,• which are approved and signed by the Commissioners and Generals-in- Chief of both armies. PARIS, NOVEMBER 6. In our paper of the sth of October, we inserted the requisitory of the Procurator Fiscal against Riego. To meet the ignorance, real or affected, of those who believe, or feign to believe, that this sanguinary requi sitory is the result of the passions of the King of Spain, it is proper to call to recollection that the Spanish law, the application of which is required, is merely the Ro man law, adopted almost generally in the monarchies, of modern times. In England, a very constitutional country, this law exists in full force, and even with an additional atrocity which we would not venture to describe. Every one has beard of Montt ose's execution, who suffered for his fidelity the punishment inflicted on traitors. We make this remark, certainly not for the purpose of applauding the shocking provisions of the Roman law, but to rectify an historical fact, and to relieve a particular nation from the whole burden of a charge which unfortunately belongs to nearly all. Demerara Papers to the 18th of SeFtember have reached us.. At that time tranquillity was restored, and the military establishment was considered ade quate to put down any insurrectionary movement that might be attempted. The Court-Martial prosecuted its inquiries daily; and on the 3th of September four teen of the ringleaders had been executed on the parade ground at Curnmingsburgh, being independent ofthose tried and shot on the different estates on the coast. The whole of the ringleaders bad been taken except *two.— The following is an extract: PROM THE ROYAL GAZETTE, *EFT. lg. Arrived off the Bar the Forte frigate, Captain Sir Thomas. Cochrane; and Ringdove brig of war, Captain Rich.—lt was apparent ymterday, at a very early hoer, that something more than usual was to close the day. It turned out an almost general jail delivery, proving that the progress of the Court-Martial has been more' expeditious than was suspeCted. It is likewise clear that they have " tempered justice with mercy." The mili tary procession moved at the customary hour to the place of execution, and comprised the George Town Cavalry, Artillery, Rifle Corps, the Ist Battalion, Pro visional Battalion, and a large body of Indians. After the advanced guard came the under-named nine con demned, strongly escorted ; after them, two by ►.wo, to ,ber of sixty, we believe,of negrees, who, though some had been so from compulsion, others their free will, but bad not coMotittettany atrocity, to return to their owners after attending to ws their more guilty comrades, judging by what they have themselves escaped, as well as witnessing the inevitable constquence of such crimina• lity. The following are the names of those who were executed, and of the Plantations to which they belonged : Telemachus, Bachelor's Adventure; Jemmy, dkto; Scipio, ditto; Linder, Ls Bonne Intention; Botany, Success; Thomas, alias Tom. Chateau Marto; Paul, Friendship; Pickle, La Bonne In tendon; and Quamina, Nooten Zeal!. The four first are to be hung in chains on their re. spective estates, having been, if not all ringleaders, very actively employed in the revolt. We observe that there is another letter in the Morning Chronicle of this day, from a person signing himself " A Looker on."—All that we have to say upon it is, that we know it is as full of mistatements and falsities as the former letter was, and that in no part is it more false, than in that which relates to the question of fees to the South American Agents. While upon this subject, we may as well also add our conviction, derived from pretty good authority, that the statement of the supposed policy of the British Government with respect to South America, contained in two Articles of an Evening Paper of Friday and Saturday last (which pretends to have the sanction of Government for all it asserts), is quite incorrect, and only calculated to mislead, both at home and abroad. " If," says the Morning Chronicle, "the independ ence of South America is of such importance to us that a war must be hazarded for the sake of it, no..v that it is menaced ; ii it can be shewn that it was easy for Mi nisters to deprive the only Power, by which an attempt on South America can be made with any chance of suc cess, of the means of embarking in it, we should like, in that case, to know what they can urge in their justifica tion?" If is said to he a great peace-maker; hut here it is put with a view of chewing that we ought to go to war: but it is nothing new with the Chronicle to put a case hypothetically, and then reason upon it, W the Govern ment is to be condemned. Now, in the first place, we must !rave better evidence of the designs of France on South America than the fitting out of two crazy old Spanish ships in a Spanish port; nor is it likely that France will involve heralf in a long and expensive war, where success is so problematical as against the Repub lics of South America. The sceptre has departed from Spain in the New World, and France cannot restore it to her, were she disposed to make the attempt. What the Chronicle means about depriving ag the only Power by which an attempt on South America can be made with any chance of success, of the means of embarking in it," we know not. Is it meant that we should attempt to reduce France to a state of such in significance, as that she may be unable to undertake any enterprise? What right, we ask, have we to call on that Power to disavow' projects, of which, perhaps, she never dreamt, and in which, at least, she manifested no symptoms of embarking ? All that could be done on this subject was done, in our offer of mediatim between France and Spain, previous to the war. Mr. CANNING, in his last letter to Sir CHARLES STUART, Which is dated March 31, dis claimed all intention on the past of his MAJESTY of ap propriating to himself the smallest portion of the late Spanish por.essions in America ; from which it is fair to infer that Prance was rather afraid of our taking come of. the Spanish Colonies, as a security far the indemnification .of our commerce, which had suffered by ships under the Spanish flag. It is equally fair to infer that France disclaimed, on her part, all interference with the Colonies, for Mr. CANNING adds, " I-lis MAJESTY is satisfied that no at tempt will be made by France to bring under her do. minion any of those possessions, either by conquest, or by cession from Spain." The explanation was reciprocal on this point; and it would be supposing Fiance madly chivalrous indeed, if, after just closing one expensive campaign, which was undertaken, how unjustifiably we say not, under an idea of its being necessary to defend France against the progress of Spanish principles, she should volunteer her money, her fleet, and her army, in endeavouring to re store to Spain colonies which she could neither support nor keep in subjection. It is idle to say that France speculates on our finan cial state being such as to deprive us of the power of going to war. Let a French Minister but enter our Exchange, and he will see that money is the only article which lays on hand ; and that, notwithstanding all that has been raised in Russian, Prussian, French, Aus trian, Spanish, Portuguese, Neapolitan, Colombian, and Peruvian Loans--there are unemployed millions which our capitalists would lend the British Government on almost their own terms. Away, then, with the idle prating about our submitting to insult, becatise we dare not go to war. The accusation was formerly, that we were .too ready in drawing the sword, and we are now blamed in suffering it to remain, a few brief years, in the scabbard, although every month of peace is lessening our burdens and augmenting our power. There is a report that Lima has again been evacuated by the Royalist Army under CANTERAG, but we have not been able to trace it to any source of authority. The Government of Lucerne has issued a very rigor ous Ordonnance on the public press. Letters froth Cadiz of the 21st ult. say, that General BOURAIONT had caused the Governor to be arrested and sent out of - the City, because he had imprisoned several persons connected with the late Government, among whom was the Duke del PAIMUt o a Grandee of Spain and Deputy. It seems that there is some difficultyin carrying into execution Decrees of banishment. The Glasgow Papers state, that an atrocious confe deracy has been formed in that city, for the destruction of hay. In Namilton-street, Duke-street, and near Deanery Mill, foot of Drygate, stacks had been set on &re and destroyed. . The hay burnt in Duke-street was nearly in the centre of a large yard, in which were up -7 wards of twenty stacks, some of them containing several thousand stones.
