The Lord Chief' Baron after hav ire addl.' tied the prisoners in literalist impeekive 'winner passed the dreadful sentence °film law, epos the font unhappy men found gully which was 'that they severally be carried hack from the place from which 'they came, and that they be thence drawn on an linrdk to some plaoeof execution, where they should be handed by the neck, and their heads stveredfroni their bodies, which should be divided into four parts, and disposed of as his Majesty should direct. Might the Lord God bare compassion art heir souls. The Court immediately adjourned. Several of the prisoners were much affected and wept bitterly. The Lord Chid baron expressed his personal gratitude for the attention paid by the Jury throughout the whole course of these pro ceedings and he was instructed by the three hawned Judges who had presided there to express the same sentiment on their part. It is understood that, of those pnsooers thus condemned, the 19 wbo plaided guilty will certainly bare their sentences commuted; and dud Weightman, perhaps Ludlam, will not be executed. FRENCH REFUGEES. - The part of a private letter from Paris,iiven in the .Algenteine Zeilung of the Bth instant, as an extract from a Swiss Paper:—" The recent accounts from the United States, which have a particular interest for France, resolve into the following facts :—Buonaparte's former Adjutant-General, Jourdain, who was taj en prisoner at the battle of Waterloo, has arrived at hi ladelphia. Caulincourt, the well known Duke of Vicenza, Buonaparte's Master of the Horse, has trans ferred a fortune of five millions of francs, which is applied to the purchase of extensive property. Van.

Lee, formerly American Consul at Bourdeaux, who after the battle of Waterloo, assisted a great number of the French to emigrate to America, is appointed by the President, Governor of the Missis sippi territory in which a large French Colony is forming on the banks of the Tinibechy. To this set tlement men of letters and artists are invited to re pair by M. Lacanal, formerly member of the Imperia- Institute, and advantageous terms offered them.

THE alarm excited in the beginning of the week, by the hostile movements of Spain towards the frontier of Portugal, has considerably subsided. The intelli gence was first communicated in letters received by the Lisbon Mail, but with much exaggeration. The French papers received subsequently, gave us some more particulars, all tending to chew, that an army had marched in three divisions upon the frontier, and that a speedy rupture was apprehended. Later accounts, however, lead us to believe, that the mediation of the great allied powers, will prove effectual in settling all differences. The sailing of the Russian fleet from Re vel, has furnished abundant matter for conjecture dur ' ing the week. Rumour, ever magnifying danger, had placed 10,000 troops on board, and assigned to them objects as various as the tastes of those who propagated the idle tale. By a letter received from Copenhagen, it appears that the squadron consists of five sail of the line and three frigates ; and by other accounts it is ascer tained, that there are NO troops on board. The sailing of this fleet, together with the movements in the pe ninsula, and the intelligence from India, had the effect of depressing the funds considerably on Thursday, but on Friday, they recovered —Yesterday being a holiday, no business was done. The last accounts from Claremont, represent the Princess Charlotte to be well, and capable of taking her usual exercise. The Madrid writers affirm, that the Spanish Govern ment is occupied unceasingly with the re-establishment of the Royal Marine ; and they assign as the rause of this solicitude, the necessity of protecting the commerce of Spain from the ravages of the South America.. p vateen. The purchase of the Russian ships is an. nounced ; but we are given to understand, that, in. OCT. rf. . stead of pa:.. ig fin- them in cash, the Court of Madrid makea an exchange; the conditions of which are not yet remmunicated to the public. The Russian squa.., dont, it would appear, is not intended to carry out - troops ; although, if troops were to be had, ships of. the line, one might imagine, would be particularly well calculated to transport them ; but they are dei. tined to cruize fir the protection of trade, a purpose . which !liey are incapable of adequately effecting, against the swarms of light and quick sailing vessels which scour the coasts of the West India Islands, and the Sl.mii,ll Main. The Spaniards dwell upon the painful anxiety into which the silence of their Government on the tiffairs of South America has thrown the nation fire ::a many months, during which out a syllable of official* intelligenee has transpired. AVe are the less surprised at the reluctance of that Government to piomuipte • the facts of which no doubt they are in possession, from the complexion of those which have recently reached us by the mail from the Virgin and Leeward islands. A letter from St. Thomas's, of the 17th ultimo, states the recapture of the important island of Murgaretta by . the Patriots; Morino having been forced to ablution, and Bolivar, with little'or no resistance, enabled to re. sow it. Bolivar is said to have I-eh:thrall his army, in which the highest alacrity and unanimity prevailed, and which had recently derived an extraordinary accession of military skill and prowess trots the junction of a great . number of experienced French officers, to whose advice a considerable portion of their late successes had been ascribed by the Insurgent leaders. By the same mail letters and papers have reached 113 l'rom.Grenada to the :?•I.th of August, which communicate the arrival of 17 sail in that quarter, being the principal part of the Royalists squadron from the Oronoko, cennuanded by Brigadier Torres. Four of the vessels hail been taken by the Patriots ; and it is mentioned by other advises, that Brion with the independent squadron held them blockaded in the port. Halifax papers to the 20th of last month bare been received. But from the Ntilional nielligencer i s d o . rived the fulloy.ing important information " Important Enterprise.—General Count Clausel and General Lelcbyrc Desuouettes have sailed from Philadelphia with a ship-loud of passengers bound to the Mobile. Marshal Grouchy, the two Genentla Lallemund, Generals Vaudamme, Labanal, Pennier:, Gamier he Sainte's, Count Real, &c. are at the head of this enterprise." The future operations more than this incipient act of these adventurers ill be mutter of extreme in terest. The Mobile, the river which has been chosen tin. the disembarkation of the French Generals anti their followers, is a contested one ; neither are the habits of the leaders those of pcaeefhl industry or even colonial enterprise. Such men us Clute], Grouchy, Vandamine, are unable to direct agricultural or com mercial pursuits; they are men of war simply, and some of them not famed for gentleness or humanity among cultivated nations, even in that sanguinary trade. We sball therefore look to their conduct with same anxiety.— Time. A serious question is represented in the Hamburgh papers to be under consideration with the Swedish Government—namely, whether the exportation of tim ber shall be encouraged in foreign vessels, by equalizing the duties on them and on the ships of Sweden freighted with the same article. Owing to the regulations of some foreign states in favour of their own shipping, it is possible that some such equalization of duty may be necessary to ensure an extensive sale of that staple pro auction of the North. It is in fact a question between the prop_ietors of timber and the ship owners of Sweden of a nature similar to that which has been very fre quently agitated between the British ship-owner and the British merchant. Baron Ec' lelkrutz, President of the Board of Trade, decides in favour of whatever measure may contribute to the most extensive exporta tion. By the French papers it appears that the Dey of Al giers has been deposed, and strangled. Six hundred of the Turkish soldiers tumultuously entered his Palace ; the Dey undauntedly ordered them to be admitted to his presence, hoping to appease them, but they refused to listen. The Dcy then drew his sabre to defend him. self, but was overpowered, dragged into the court yard, and strangled ; and Ali-Hodja was proclaimed in his stead. Fresh acts of piracy towards Christiana are the expected result of this change. By accounts from Fez, it appears that the Emperor of Morocco, notwithstanding his previous determina. tion to cut off all communication by land with Algiers has pe►mitted a caravan to pass into his states, whic' circumstance has induced still more rigorous ineasurh in the quarantine department at Gibraltar. ' Seven of the persons confined in Worcester gaol for being accessory in some shape or other to the late riots, were fully committed for trial at the next assizes, hart, , ed un oath " with feloniously and riotously as. se►nbling and destroying the buildings, fences, and other property of John and Abraham Edmunds." Another man confined on the same charge was held to bail for his good behaviour, and a boy was discharged.
