There has been a talk of a num ber of executions which were to take place there in .consequence of the sentences of the military coin mission. NURLMBERO, JULY I.—Tbe Gazelle of this day contains the following article relative to the affairs Iffe/davis and Wallachia:—" When Ypsilanti received inilliiinenee of the events which had taken place in Moldavia, he immediately dispatched a corps of 1,000 men thither, under the command of Prince ('antacuzeno, to restore tranquillity. The Prince, who was formerly a colonel in the Russian service, arrived at Jassy on the Ist of June, and published the subjoined proclamation. • " The Seraskier has attempted no further enterprise since the occupation of Galata. fhe isolated corps of Turks which advanced as far as Baccn are not of his party, and the engagement which took place at Fokschan was between one of those corps and the Greeks but the result has been tidal to the inhabitants, the greater part of whom are ruined. The accounts' of the issue of this action are very contradictory. This is certain, that the Greeks loot more men than the Turks, the former having en killed and a much greater number wounded.: -The conflagration by which the town was consumed is imputed to the Greeks, who set fire to the con— vent of St. James's, where the Turks were abut up, and from which quarter the flames spread." MADRID, JUNE 26.—Accounts from Cadiz of the 16th mention, that dsepatches have been received from Lieut.-Col. P Viver, commanding the detach ment in pursuit of the insargent Ealdivar. In the first (June It), he states that he had received infbr mation of a band of 100 smugglers, near Tariffa, and had not then been able to come up with them ; but in his despatch of the following day, he states that he had proceeded with all the local militia of the district, and had taken 44 beasts of burden, 13 loads of tobacco, and 42 peasants, whom he detained as prisoners, till he received the instructions of the Political Chief of the province of Cadiz. Accounts from Seville of the 19th gives the de tails of the conspiracy discovered in the province of Andalusia. The plan of the conspirators seems to have been communicated to the Political Chief of Seville by a courier sent by the Minister of the Interior, who arrived at Seville on the 15th. The police was ob served to be very active, the judges assembled, and the Political Chief with some troops went to the hotel in the street called Ancha de la Feria, where he arrested Don Isidore Mir (chief of a conspiracy supposed to be carrying on at Xeres, Cordova, and this city), and Don Juan Dato. These two persons, with their papers and effects, were conducted to the convent of St. Anthony, where the battalion of Cat talonia is stationed. Oo being examined, Dato made a long deposition, in tvhiell he discovered the nature and extent of the conspir:.cies in the three cities, their plans, their ramifications, and the per sons he knew to be implicated in them. At mid night the examination of Mir was begun, who appeared to be a chief leader of the conspiracy. In fact, after imploring the benefit of the amnesty offered by his Majesty, for himself and his accom plices in these infamous plots, refusing to confess on any other condition, he disclosed every thing relative to the conspiracy and the persons engaged in it. In consequence of thew depositions runny other persons have been arrested. Gen. Don lkslro Gri malest, as it seems, was to place himself at the head of the conspiracy, together with Brigadier General Mir, with the titles of the first and second com manders of the Army of the Faith. Their meetings were held at the abode of General Grimalest, who furnished the money, but, as it seems, very sparingly, for the necessary expellees. Their plan was most absurd : they were to seize the horses of the depot of a regiment near th.i town of Bornos, to release the innocent prisoners confined ut Xeres, which respect able force was to serve as the nucleus for that which they fancied they could assemble. The insurgent Zahlivar engaged to reinforce this great army witl»i body of partizans, and humor companies of his at the time he «mimanded a party of Guerillas in the French war. All be:ag done, which was to be accomplished without money, fin- they had none, they were to proclaim the King alisolut:!, to overturn the monumental stones of the constitution, and to conic to Seville to join their comp:talcs there. Several parsons woe arrested, and several fled, in search ot• whom the most active measures are adopted. It is reported to-day (25th) at Madrid, that there had ',Len a turible commotion at Val.:ll6a. Tu prevent all error, we think it our duty to say that we have befiire us a proclamation of the Captain- General of that province, in which he states that sonic malicious persons, taking advantage of the night, discharged a petard, which led the citizens to believe that cannon had been fired from the citadel, and that General Elio was going to be set at liberty. Hence a great agitation naturally ensued, which, however, was happily calmed by the prudence and firmness of the Political Chief and the other authorities. JUNE 27.—The draught of the penal code which the Cortes are to sanction, has been printed, and is at present on sale. This work, though partly copied from the French code, has not answered the expec tation of enlightened men. The preliminary tide, which embraces general notions, begins with a clas sification of infractions of the law, which are divided into crimes and faults (cu/ixi.) But this division is not aftertards,perceptitale in the course of the I work ; so that; besides being inexact, it is useless.— Punishments are divided into corporal, nun-corporal, and pecuniary. Among thein are found-Ist, death, always by strangulation, occasioned by the pressure of an iron collar (eravatte de fee)-2d, perpetual labour, with branding-3d, transportation-4th, perpetual exile-sth, public tabour-6th, presidio (the galleys-7th, reclusion-Bth, exposure on the pillory (Carean)-96, exposure during the execu tion of a sentence to death-10th, imprisonment in a fortress-11th, exile from a particular district— ' 12th, perpetual exile from a particular district.— Conspiracy against the Constitutional regime, against the Convocation of the Cortes, or against the per manent Deputations, is punished with death..... Conspiring against the life and person of the King, his autlio:ity, and his prerogative, is also punished with death. The same punishment is applied to those who conspire to establish in Spain any religion differing fiom the Catholic, to the chiefs and orga. nizers of rebellions and insusurrcctions, and to vo• luntary homicides with plemiditation (murder.) — Highway robbery, false coining, arson, and forgery, are not punished with death. Adultery on the part of the wife is punished by reclusion tor as lung uperiod as the husband wishes, provided it dues not exceed ten years ; her accomplice is to undergo the same punishment, and exile besides. Adultery by the husband is punished with infiamy. In general the code is sparing of the punishment of death, but there are puerilities in it, material omissions, useless repe titions, and very little exactness in classification and definition. The Cortes demand from the King their extra ordinary:convocation by an addrrss presented by a committee:of deputies. Ilis Majesty received these representatives or the nation with peculiar gracious ness. He replied to them, that desiring only the happiness of the Spanish people, and the consolidation oldie constitutional system, he would immediately convoke the council of ttate, and presiik at it (a cir cumstance that rarely occurs), to hear its opinion un an affair so important. This took place on the atith.— The council of state was convoked, and the Kum„ on opening its deliberation, said, " I have said that 1 ‘visli to be the first constitutional monarch uf Europe, and I shall maintain it." The whole Council was of opinion that the Cortes might to be convoked ex traordinarily. The King said that he should con voke them fur the 2d of July. There will thus be no suspension of their sittings. Tratiquillity has been disturbed at Zamora. A report was circulated there that General Morillo had left Madrid ut the head of 4.000 men, and had gone to unite those with the furves of Merino. The Servile: instantly Kogan to triumph. and forced the Liberals to hide themselves ; the error was axiii after dissipated. The ()eerier from Madrid contra dicted the news, and order and tranquillity were restored.

From various preparations making at the hotel purchased at I'aris by the King of. Prussia, it is supposed that this monarch will shortly visit this city. It appears certain that Buouaparte completed his memoirs (which he commenced on his arrival at St. Helena) a short time belbre his death. Several copies, it is said, were made of his work, two 01 which were delivered to General Bertrand and M. de hlontholn. The mannscript will perhaps make Mout three volumes. The conspiracy of the East, which occupied dur ing 15 days the court of assize of Riom, has been decided on, The accused have been declated not Oily 17 the jury on all the 24 charges. HANOVER, Julie 25.—One of the preparations nuking for the reception of the King is the demo lition end the construction of the town gate, which opens on the road to Herrenhauscn, over which a grata triumphal arch, embellished with trophies, is erecting. It will henceforward be called the Wa terloo gate. The King will be the first who will pass under it ; until which, it is notified that the passage Is prohibited. The expense is estimated at 8,000 crowns. VIENNA, JUNE. 28.—Commercial letters received in this capital announce, that from the Bth to the 10th inst. sonic very bloody battles bad been fought between the Greeks and Turks in the vicinity of Tergovista. The latter commenced by attacking the entrenched position of Prince Ypsilanti ; but being repulsed they beat .1 retreat. IVe await further details with great impatience. It appears that Jassy is again in the powsr of the Greeks, where, it is affirmed, they have have established a provisional administration. Cnasaueav, JUNE 30.—For several days past a report :las been in circulation in this province that the King will not come to Piedmont, and that a part of the kingdom is to be subjected to the Ans. t rian government. This rumour spreading amongst 01 classes of the inhabitants, and particularly amour; the tromps of the brave regiment of Savoy, has caused a general feeling of discontent in that corps, which was carried so tirr that the soldiers had firmed the design of returning altogether to their homes with their arms and baggage. This plan was to have been puf in execution after the rejoicings for the celebration of the festival of St. John ; but the Governor, and the other autho rities of the city who had haematite: of it, took such measures es defeated tha plot on that very day. Subalterns and soldiers to the number of sixty have been arrested and conducted to the citadel, where they will be interroguttd. Government entertains the expectation of Lei:lg able to discover the leaders by the declarations of the soldiers under arrt.st. Notwithstanding these arrests the discontent continues. The presence of the Austrian troops in Piedmont fin an indefinite period vons to be the cause it. It is well known that the keys of Alt.s sandriu have been :.cut to King Charles Felix ; bat #
