Th'y are chiefly occupied with details .4 the proceedings before the Coirt of Assize, in the case of • ;astaing, and are rather barren of political intelligence. The following are extracts:— (PROM TILE WrOILE OP TIIURSDAT, Nov. 13.) FRANCE. The King heard Mass in his apartment. The King did not go out, but presided at a Council of Ministers. NEWS FROM SPAIN. BARCELONA, Nov. 5.—A party of the troops of the 4th corps, entered flostalrich and Tarragona on the same day !hat Marshal Duke of Conegliano entered Barcelona. — New has terminated by the valour of the troops of the iiing, and by the love of the Spanish people for their I ogitimate Sovereign, the conquest of Catalonia. VIENNA, Nov. !.—The ravages which have taken place : n Tyrol and Vorarlberg by the inundations, have not been xaggerated. The following are the details from the Austria» Observer : _ The •.r hole of the country which extends f•om Ober Dran erg to Brenner hss been the theatre of unprecedented dis ,sters. The three principal rivers of Pustherthal united a .oultitude of torrents the roads, the bridges, and edifices, .:ere all destroyed ; the cattle were also carried away, sea the , eople with difficul'y saved themselves.

According to a secret convention there will be pieced at the 'isitosil of General Mina and Rotten, a ship to carry them • o France; where, it is said, they hare obtained permission to :elide. FRONTIERS OF ITALY, Oct. 31.—Several commercial letters - eak of a new insurrection which has taken place at Con tantinople, at the instigation of the Janissaries, of which the !lowing are some details : The purpose of the Sultan to disband the Janissaries, or to . organise them. and take from them all isfleence in political :fairs, could not be carried into eff ct. Although it was the ish of the opulent people, it was also known that it would ieet with great difficulty, as several of the Turkish Ministers . failed in their plans, audit was also known that the friends f the Janissaries had gained an ascendancy in the Divan, and ere Informed that the projected change would soon he at -rtipted. The Janissaries also were well informed of what as going forward ; but measures have been taken, so that no ,,ing is to be feared for the tranquillity of the capital. The • trend Seignior has milled I of his confidential servants. This rigour has caused a great sensation at Constantinople, articelarly amongst the diplomatic corps ; and it is believed has some connection with the segociation of Lord Strangford. this, too, was the cause of the dismissal of the Reis Effendi. — 'amongst the persons disgraced is Ibraham Packs, who het endered great services to the Sultan. Up to this date. the Porte has not taken any steps to put in force the decree relative to the navigation of the Black Sea. The Journal des Debats of Wednesday contains no news of nportance. The money-lenders have now learnt what frith the ;total Government of Spain intends to keep with them.— rerdinand has ratified the loan made to the Regency, in .i ay last ; and has ordained that M. Guebhard, the con , ;actor, " shall be at liberty to make such arrangements as e May judge necessary with respect to the Roza! Loan ; o oder the express condition that he will take no step leading to a recognition of the loans made by the self•styled Cortes, ,'.wring the period of the Revolution." Mr. Guebhard, ery correctly describes this ordinance as definitively an nailing the loans made to the Cortes ; although the New lime:, with its usual sagacity, finds out they are not an nulled in espreseternu, and intimates that Ferdinand is about to attend ri Congress in which be may be induced to alte his opinion, and adopt a dikerent principle. This is sup. ?losing that the other royal plagues of Europe are more . honest than Ferdinand and that they will endeavour to teach him that it is dangerous even far a King to become tqo great a rogue. In one view of the question. however, t !le holders of the security on all the loans are is the same predicament; for the interest of nose can be paid. in the presentooadition of the finances of Spain, without other laaas to sake goedtbe interest by increasing the debt. 116, THE STATESMAN A few tills more will probably bring us the nielan chitty intelligence that the infamous sentence of Riego has been carried into execution. The condemnation has been pronounced. lie has been sentenced to the punish• went of "'the Gibbett !" Good Got ! For what offence ? For having saved Ferdinand from one; since a word from Riego would have been his fate, on more than ten occa sions within the last three years. This " natural clemen cy," and atnazing " piety" of Ferdinand, will prove a lesson to all future revolutionist?, not to spare these royal furies, who are alike inaccessible to reason, and deaf to justice, honour, and humanity. Will the Spanish pour lace permit such an exhibition? We are aware that there is a brutal rabble in Madrikl, kept in ignorance, and fanatically devoted to the designing part of the priest- hood, who would wash their hands, or quench their thirst with the blood of any man who might be pointed out to them as an object of vengeance. But will those citizens, who, under the comma and of Riego, so frequently defeated the traitorous enterprises of the Royal Guards, will they tamely submit to this sanguinary onto age? We know what they ought to do. If the gibbett be prepared, we know ' WHO should be selected to adorn it. We know who would grace such a performance with morepropriety than Rirgo; and though there can be hilt little hope that theleitizens of Mad rid will do their duty, in preventing the execution ; we will not surrender the idea that the scaffold which may now be destine•] to stream with his blood, shall one day be the scene of vengeance with which jnstice will overtake his cowardly murderers. There are French soldiers iii Malrid. Will they witness such an atrocious murder, without interference ? A word from the French Commandant would save his life. Will he not speak it ? Will he look on, as a certain Duke did •on the sacrifice of Marshal hey. What impudent auda city it is, for governments to reproach the people with cruelty in tlnir tuinitl!:i. when they furnish then► with such horrible examples. There is a runour that Ba;l.isteros is disposed to avenge of the di.,appointment of not being adequatily paid for his treason to the Constitution, by erecting its standard train. Nay, it is even said that he' has pub. fished 0 a re:;clliotte proclamation ;' patt of which we inserted in our paper of yesterday. We do not believe that such a nis at all calculated for the difficult en. terprize of collecting the dispersed elements of resistance to the restored despotism ; especially if it be tree, as asserted in an article from Madrid, which we quoted yesterday, that his army has been tranquilly disbanded; and even if he could assume any formidable aspect, it would only be to m ike a better hargail for himself than the last has proved. The submist.ioti of Mira, which still • surprizes us, has rent:e: . ed the idea of further resistant'. desperate. We have heard that the gnat argument of the French miss:l6es with tl.e Constitutional officers of Spain, has been founded or. the dr sertion of them by England. What our Ministers have called neutrality, the French have represented as acq u iescence in their views; and the conduct of the English Minister at the Court of Madrid. gave a sufficient colour to this representation. I • Carthagena has nut yet olieyell the orders of the King, to open its gates to the French ; hut a little more intrigue, and the Constitutional flag will cease to wave on any for tress in Spain. The auatity with which this result is witnesse I in Englan.t, suqtrize ; all who reflect ; and yet it extends its influence even to those oho perceive the mischievous consequences which m ist envie from it. The Fr'nch have began to repar and strengthen the fortifica tions of Cadiz. Ceuta is also to receiie a French garrison : —and if any eufurt is made to reconquer the Colonies, the French must direct the military operations, and garrison the captured towns. Thus, by a little cajolery, if the frenzy of Ferdinand eau be restrained, the interests of the two CJuntries will become one and The Judges of the (Vat of King's Bench laid it down yesterday as the law of the land, that watriedprisoners, who refuse to mount the tread-mill, in company with con victed felons, are not entitled to any snpport from . the county. The conclusion is, that the Magistrates may starve any man to death, who in the confidence of being found innocent of the charge for which he is confined, may refuse, though in a prison, to associate with those who deserve to be there. The application was to ascertain whether bread and water was all that such prisoners had a right to,for their support; but the decision of the court, which does not see any claim on the part of the prisoners, would empower the Magistrates to take away the bread and the water too. Now. we take the law and the reason of the case, to be directly opposite to this. These men are confined by society, to ensure their appearance to answer the offences of which they are charged. They are commonly persons who should live upon time produce. They have no funds ; and they may he innocent of any offence. The law holds them innocent, until they are proved guilty : —and yet the Judges say they have no claim so food; unless they labour ; and labour too, at an eu(iae of tor ture, more particularly designed as the punish ment of convicted offenders. If a man in custody before trial were offered fair employment, upon just terms, and rejected it, we du not see that he would merit starvation for such conduct. It is enough for hint to Ise confined, if innocent; and if guilty, he will meet his punishment afterwards, and ought not to endure it before. Bat the tread mil is not a fair species of labour. In many csses, it is a species of useless torture; there being nothing . performed by the turning of the wheel. It is avowedly a species of punishment; and a man not convicted is not a legal object of punishment. The eloquence with which ' the Judges expatiated upon time merits and sufficiency of bread and water, is quite delightfnl. They subscribe lite rary to the scripture text, that " man shall notiive by bread alone ;" but they deem seater a sufficient soldition to ensure a very comfortable a mbsistenee. The Lord Chief .Josticle who bas so often reprobated time discontent of time people,- says " a •ery large proportion live upon bread." Mr. Justice:Bayley, the greot patron of the blessings of tall tion, believes another proportion of the inhabitants of this Ilingdom " live in a great measure, if not altogether upon "oatmeal and water." Mr. Justice Best, who always puts his foot " as far as who goes farthest," said " »toot of the Was " I Hotta parts of the community live upon nothing else than " bread and water :" Now if all these things be true, we think it high time to put those who are not industrious upon the same diet ; and if the judges themselves will prove its suf. tictncy by a few months' trial, they will be better able to speak upon such matters. he ii Private letters front Paris state that ti, 'nqniries among the Parisians, as to the state of the King's health, and the ?robability of his spicily dissolution, had become the general subject of eonv,:rsation, and it was reported that the return of the Due. d'Angouletne from Spain had been hastened on account of the very uncertain state of the French Monarch. It was likewise current in that capital that the Ministry bail determined to aid, with arms, money and officers, the expedition which it was expected would sail shortly from some of the Spanish ports, to assist in recovering South America. As the Spanish Navy is in competent to the taslc of recovering these provinces, it was generally supposed Ferdinand would hire the vessels of some other Power, and Russia is rumoured to have al. ready proffered her assistance to convey the troops of the expedition to their destination. The vessels of war which have already sailed, under the French flag, are stated in these advises to convey some instructions, as well as certain promisee, to Cantarite, in Peru, upon whose defence against Boliva the Royalist cause of South America is dependant. I n a private letter brought by express from Paris, yes terday it is positively asserted that the King of France, in an airing the other day, was seized with a fainting lit in his carriage ; and lie is subject to a stoppage which all the skill of his physicians is exerted to prevent from terminar ine in strangury. in the mean time, the conduct of state affairs is stated to be rea:ly confided to the Count &Artois, who transacts hneiness with the Ministers. Should the decease of the hing take place, it is not expected that any serious political changes will ensue, as, in anticipation of the event, precautionary arrangements have been feinted for transtni'ting the present views of the French Cabinet as;weil as the Crown to his successor. We find that the delay, on account of which Captain Harris has been pet on his trial, did not take place with regard to the Commis for South America, hut Mr. Thorn ton, whom Mr. Canning tt as anxious to dispatch with as little delay as possible to Lisbon, to compliment King John on Isis liberation from the fetters of the Constitution. This accounts for the circumstance having come out in the tile', that we hail no Minister at Lisbon at so important a juncture, which seemed to have no connection with • Mission to South Ausetiea. With toe exception of the substitution of the Consuls fir Mr. Thornton, the statement is correct. Mr. Canning was examined, and exculpated Capt. Harris, and the delay was found to lie at the dour of Mr. Thornton.—lt seems the latter complained to his Court of the coldness of his reception at Lisbon. The new ally had thrown the old English cutinection entirely into the shade.—( !flossing' Chronicle) COUNTY WESTMEA'III.—A vacancy has occurred in the Representation of the County of lVeettnratli, in consequence of the death of Gustavus Rochfort, Esq. the late Repreaent &dee, The Candidates at preheat are, Richard alaloae, Req. Hugh Tuite, Esq. and Sir Time. Chapman, Burt. Doubts are expressed of Mt. Malone's standing, and the contest, it is supposed, will lie between Sir Thos. Chapin in anti Mr. Tuite. The latter is supported by the Independent Interest. By a vessel arrived at Bordeaux, letters dated the 41st' of September were received yesterday from the island of St. Thomas. An expedition was said to he preparing at Havannab for the recovery of the Spanish possessions in St. Dominos ; the troops to be employed were those of Morales, 'which sailed for Cuba after the evacuation of Maracaibo. It was supposed that Si. Domingo was in a state 89 defenceless, and so little apprehending an attack from such a go:taw, that 1,000 me would be soil. recta for the recongtiest of the city and the adjoining territory. Indeed, it is understood that the defeneeles, state of the country, aid not any instructions from home has prompted the attempt. With respect to Colombia, all further efforts on the part of the Royalist troops were considered hopeless ; Morales with his division were bound by the articles of the capitulation nut to serve any more on the Main ; and according to letters • from Curacos of the of September, fugitives were daily arriving there from Puerto Cabello, intimating by that sort of instinct by which rats quit a falling house, that the last place held by the Spattitiattls on the coast was not long likely to afford them shelter. Be the Flanders Mail we have received the following intelligence respecting the (Weeks which, we hope and believe will, from the channel through which it comes, be found exaggerated : • evica.ooT. 22.—An Austrian vessel, which sailed for I Constantinople on the 3 I of this month, arrived on the I 18th at Trieste, brings ne ws of an action between the Al.l verine flotilla and the Greek ressels off Lemnos. l'he Greeks, it is said, hail the disadvantage, and were forced! to set lire to three tire ships, to prevent C:em from falling! into the hands of the enemy. This news is confirmed by the Captain of another vessel, oho has arrived in sixteen days from Smyrna. The Turkish fleet was oil Mitylene. " LEGOORN, OCT. 15.—We have accounts from Petra', which state, that after some well•known events, Mauro cordato proposed to the Greek Government established at Megara, to put itself under the protection of England. This proposal was rejected with disdain. Manrocortiato having repeated it at Hydra, a popnlite tumult was the consequence to which he fell a victim; the people tore him to pieces." The Editor of the Journal Politique it Litteruire tic la Cote d'Or, is civil to appear on the 21st instant before the Royal C.,ort of Dijon, in full assembly, at the suit of M. the Procureur General, who demands the suspension of the Journal during the space of a month, on account of its ten.

" STR.ANCIFORD." ATTPMPTED AsssssINATION OP A G REEK PRILir IN PARIS. A horrible assassination was yesterday attempted on the per i-n of a venerable Greek priest, agmi 50 years. touted Isaak arils. About ter:deed: in the morning cries were heard Is suing from the apartment which he occupied. at No. 361, Rue St. If ortore, and the neighbours hastened thither. On breaking onen the locked door. they found the old man prostrate at the Wet of his assassin, who had attempted to murder him with a razor; he still held in his hand. He was arrested in spite of itis efforts to escape by way of a secret door known only to himself, and 'tended over to a patrol of The Royal (lett& who hound him firmly, and escorted him to the Bureau of;the Commissary of the district, whence. after a short ex amination, he was taken to the Prefecture de Police. Tte. ad man was conveyed to the Hospital de la Charlie, where he lies in a precarious state. It is supposed that his long bushy beard obstrueted4the razor, and prevented the attempt beinp immediately fatal. THE ATItICALS. --...•.-- COVENT GA RDEN.—A translation from the French, called The Ferry of the Caters, was performed here last night, to a crowded house, with same success. These importa tions have seldom much to recommend them, except that they are of foreign origin ; and the present is not an excep tion, although the author derived a very powerful support in the performance. RAVER personates in a masterly manner, an old fisherman who had lost hisson, (as he sup• poses) the day before, and has added much to his reputation. The characteristic feting with which he exhibited the first ebnllitione of despair, and the affecting manner of reciting to the villagers the loss he had sustained. t touched the hearts of the whole audience. It is seldom that an old wan in an after-piece excites tears; but they fell as fast to the sorrows of Old Francois, ab we have seen them to the woes of Bdridera. Au affectiag incident, iven in all the spirit of nature, occurs in the first act. rite old man is about to set out his little store of the relief of some fugitives who threw themselves on his hospite lily, when he sees the holiday finery of his son lying on the table. He is going to remove them, but his feelings overcome him, and be cannot touch the melancholy relics of his beloved child. Mr. BAKER, Mrs. Fetacclzz, and .liss FOoTE, perform the characters of a Count, Countess, and their elatteliter, flying from the vengeance of the revolutionists of France, Francois agree to carry them over the ferry to the opposite shore of Savoy, where they would be safe ; but his boat is lost, and he has only a bat tered skiff which can carry tut one at a time; and even that wants making weather tight. While Francois is abort this necessary work, the pursuers arrive : its the shape of a foolish citizen-officer, and two soldiers. The Count hides himself; and while the officer is amuses' by his wife and danghter, he escapes through the window, and is ferried over in safety. Francois returns, and carries over the wife also; hut during his absence a fre.:ll scent is gain-el, and the lice Ise is entered by a Mayor, as silly as the Officer, and a soldier sillier than either. 'Vie yogis; Lady, fideling herself the object of pursuit, hastily converts her-elf into the son of tae old Visheranan, by ;Min's on the clothes before mentioned: and in this gr eh amuses the Mayor and his follower until !he return of Francu:s. The latter mistakes her for his son. and rashes.; to fold her to his !martin transport at Isis un expected r-tern ; hut finding his mistake, he be trays her secret by the exclamation of" imprudent girl " They are both-seivil. Francois is bound, and in despair calls stp en leis son, who now enters indeed. (in the sit ape e f Iris. l'ining), releases his father, and the party get into the boat, pests IA reach the opposite shore in safety, aid finish the piece by cheering the disappointed Mayor, and his follower. M;ss FOOTE played delightfully, and a hat won:d have been perhaps tedious in bther hands, berame her so well, as to keep the bodse in continual good humour. PARLY.Y, as the Officer, KEELET as the Mayor, and Mc tones, as the Servant, were extremely effective; bat tile it scent s want shortening. Indeed, there is not enough of incident for two acts; if it should be compressed into one, it would have a much longer life on the stage. Tire cat.- clasion is not so iesteresting, nor so decisive as eneild be wi,heil. Netlimg indicates the close but the fall of the cue'ain. The scenery is well painted ; and the " aye:" had it most decidedly when Ps nbny rune for ward to take the votes. 1 t is pus-ible, ho.vet er, that the jury decided ' rather upon the merits of the performs-rs than of the air thin.
