Consols for Account 80% We have received the French Papers of Monday. They contain a mass of intelligence from Spain, though not of a later date than what we gave yester day from the Madrid Papers. One of the French Journals, however, pretends that an extraordinary courier had arrived, who left Madrid on the 28th ultimo, and that at that time the city was perfectly tranquil ; and that no change had taken place in the Ministry. The Journalist, however, quite forgets the Madrid Papers of the 25th, which gives the names of some of the new Ministers. These Papers contain long details of the insurrectionary movements of the " Army of the Faith" in the Spanish provinces. At Murcia, the Political Chief and Intendant de serted their post, at the first report of the events at Madrid of the 30th of June. The inhabitants, aban doned by their First Magistrates, did not hesitate to take up a position suited to the circumstances, and to preserve the public order. At Oriheula, in the same province, an insurrection broke out. At that instant the Volunteer Militia, both horse and foot, of the garrison of Murcia, put themselves in motion to march against the factious. General PEAR, the superior Commandant of the pro vince, hesitated at first to put himself at the head of the column. He yielded at last to public opinion, and marched in front, but, having arrived in view of the factious, placed on an eminence, he made strange dispositions that evidently shewed be meant to favour the rebels. Colonel D. PEDRO MUNRO, an excellent soldier and a great friend to liberty, put himself at the head of the Patriots, and, in a few hours, dis persed the factious and gained a complete victory. One of the Madrid Papers contains the following article:- 0 It has been resolved by his Majesty, " First. That the country which forms the seventh Military District, shall be declared in a state of war, and consequently 1.1•09r.111/W. walls 1 4 111 F 7 ' ' .41 C.- • • " 0.

PRIMIDENT.—Do you know any of the accused present? Witness.-1 doubt that I recognize one of them. Passmnr.—Whom? EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM EDINBURGH, DATED AUGUST 5. Paocuaeua-Gltiort.e.—Wbom ?

Catam—lle said he doubted; you affirm—(Noise). The PIMIDINT.—The witness said, I doubt that I recognize one of them now, in that phrase, and in the language of the country, to doubt signifies to believe. The Parsinasiv told Canizy to stand up. Confronted with Fernay, the latter was not certain that Canizy was in his house. " It is melancholy for us," says M. ANTONIN, one of the Counsel for the accused, " to see the continual interruptions which this defence affords. Every illegal means to destroy, or to weaken by odious suspicions, all that could be favourable to the accused, is found in this case. A number of questions on our part have been prevented from the same reason." One of the Papers contains the Act of Accusation in the affair of the conspiracy at Rochelle. France will thus be entertained with three simultaneous trials of three sets of conspirators—namely, those of Bel fort, of Saumur, and Rochelle. In eaLh of them we may say literally that a host of witnesses is to be examined. If the 'petty insurrections to which they refer had acquired as great a number of adherents as there are witnesses, there might have been consi derable danger.—The following are extracts : 4 4 A letter from Poictiers, of the Ist instant, gives the following details :—The opening of the Court of Assizes at Poictiers, for the trial of General Berton, is still fixed for the 26th of August. The public Mi nistry have summoned one hundred and seventy-one witnesses for the prosecutic n. The majority of the accused not being able hi therto to obtain the Advocates of their choice, whom they would wish to take in part from the Paris bar, Counsel has been assigned them by the Court. The latter cannot enter the prison but by the permission of the Plocureur-General, which permission must be examined by the Commandant of the garrison, and afterwards by the General Commandant of the de partment. This pass is only good for once. It has to be renewed whenever the Counsel have to commu nicate with their clients ; and these formalities re quire time. They cannot see the accused but through two grated doors, and in the presence of the turnkey. The grates of the doors are so distant from each other, that it is necessary to speak very loud to be heard. A complaint has been made on this subject to the Procureur•Genetal, who has referred the matter to the Prefect : his answer is expected. " The Anti de la Charie, of Nantes, recites acts of violence which the Swiss soldiers and subalterns have been guilty of towards the citizens in the environs of Loguidi. These acts appear so grave, that without doubt they will excite the attention of Government, and lead to judicialy proceedings against their per petrators. Not only were women insulted and citizens provoked, but M. Fefevre was severely wounded, and the house of an inhabitant, in which he had taken refuge, could not protect him from the fairy of those who had assailed him with arms in their hands." This forenoon we received a German Mail, bring ing Frankfort Papers to the 2d inst. They contain some interesting intelligence respecting Greece. The following are extracts : 64 I do not know what effect the presence of the KING may have upon us, but the very anticipatit.n of it has made us joyous almost to intoxication; the people think of nothing else, they talk of nothing el'e, and their whole labour appears devoted to sonie c,b ject connected with the Royal visit. The public pie parations for the Royal reception are nearly com pleted. The decayed walls upon the Bass Rock hare been repaired, in order to place a few pieces of cannt,n for the purpose of firing a royal salute when the KiNG enters the Frith of Forth. The discharge of a r ckct is expected to announce the moment when his M. JESTY touches the soil of old Scotia; and a flag-staff forty feet high will bear the royal standard on the Bass Rack during the stay of our beloved Sovereign.

And the said Commissioners do further decide and declare, that all the islands lying in the rivers, lakes, l i and water communications, between the before de- I scribed boundary line and the adjacent shores of Upper Canada, do, and each of them does, belong to his Britannic Majesty : and that all the islands lying in the rivers, lakes, and water communications, between the said boundary line and the adjacent shores of the United States, or their territories, do, and each of them does, belong to . the United States of America, in conformity with the true intent of the second article of the said treaty of 1783, and of the 6th Article of the treaty of Ghent. In faith whereof, we, the Commissioners aforesaid, have signed this declaration, and thereunto affixed our seals.

THE EVENING STAR. TRIESTE, JULY so.' We have now received from Hydra and Spezzia official accounts of the 6th of July, published by the Greek Admiralty, which state the following particu lars respecting the great Turkish fleet : Blown urn-The Admiral's ship, of 130 guns, called the Standard of Victory. SET ow Fias—Three ships of the line, which afterwards went to the bottom, because terror and confusion paralyzed all the en deavours of the Turks to extinguish the flames. flux Aosoutro, near Tchesme, seven frigates, of which the greater part of the crews were drowned. Of the third expedition, which sailed from Con stantinople on the 4th of June, 16 ships are taken by the Greeks, and the rest blockaded near Tchesnie, and measures are preparing to destroy them. 'l'hus concurring accounts from the ArchiFelago announce the successive destruction of parts of the great ar mada which was to subdue Greece. The conse quences of this great event may be incalculable. A panic terror has seized the Turks in Selo : they hasten in crowds to Asia, and the confusion is said to be infinite. In the Greek Islands an expedition is p t e• paring against Candia. FROM VIE CALEDONIAN MERCURY OF MONDAY. His MAJESTY'S approaching visit to this metro,;:i lis has become the universal topic of conversation 4:..1 interest; and to those who are at a distance, it wou'i be impossible to convey any idea of the bustle a.:.1 agitation to which it has given rise, and of the st.ll-.; of expr-.aLion which it has excited among all classe d . 8' the period when JAMES VI. left Scotland to assume the sceptre of the United Kingdom, Edin burgh has not been visited by any Sovereign in full and undisturbed enjoyment of regal splendc:i: and power. CHARLES 11, is the only King who has ever sect it; and whatever ha may have been de jure, he ‘‘.ks not at that time the Sovereign de facto, seeing he was only contending for the possession of his re ; ;::l privileges. It is scarcely worth while, thetclore, to take notice of this hurried and unsatisfactory risit, to which the future Sovereign was besides in a manner compelled by the necessity of his affairs. Tile es pected visit of t his Majesty GEORGE IV. is in all re spects different. He is the undoubted heir of Lhe Throne, and the only Sovereign, since 11:e Ilev lution, in whose universally acknowledged title evry rival claim is extinct. His visit to the ancient ,1,2tt0- polls of the Scottish Kings is dictated by no stare !;c• cessity ; it is the free impulse of his MAJEsn's " I gracious disposition, and purely compliment.ny to • -1 ' loyal subjects in Scotland, and as such we are F:e. paring to receive it. In this respect all chis , c, r:t only here, but in every part of Scotland, are rir.g with each other in their preparations to do honour to this auspicious event. Already the town is beg,innin to fill with strangers; there is even a more th.tu kVdi" nary agitation and bustle in the streets, and cyci . F thing we see or hear gives note of anxious pep:ra tion. Already an impression has been made on our provision markets; lodgings for hire are beginnin: to be in great request, and individual homes alarmed with the threatened visits of country coa , in from all quarters.
