They then beard several other classes read, and asked whether they could repeat the shinter Catechism. We said we did not know whether they could ail do so or not, alai added, that the Catechism was taught to them only on Sundaes, The Committee, tot. eyer, cot in..ng larded to do so, proceeded to examine the children on this point. They began to examine those next to them, who, Mr. Waltzer and Mr. Lazuli limit admit, answered to their satisfaction.

[FROM THE COURIER FRANCAIS I Pints, Seer. 27.—The fort of St. Petri, which a tele graphic despatch says is taken, is on en island, situated to the eastward of th e Isle of Leon, and at the mouth of an arm of the sea, to which it gives its name. The Quo adienne commits a great error when it says on this subject, This position (Saint Petri) is of so much the more im portance, that from hence we can proceed straight to Cadiz without fearing the batteries of Pantalets." The smallest knowledge of the localities would have convinced this jour nalist of the error of his assertion. fhe Orifiamme says, with as little correctness, that the capture of this fort ren ders us masters of the river by which small vessels arrives from the Isle of Leon. This capture only makes es masters of the entrance of the river, and pots as in condition of firing on tie beats that enter, but it does not make as masters of the river altogether, which extends from St. Petri beyond:the Caraca, where it unites with the bay of Puntales. To make us masters of the river it is necessary to tend a flotilla up from St. Petri, which would force the Spanish flotilla to retiretowards the Carraea ; then, ityleed, they may begin to suppress the enemy's fite, and endeavour to pass the river. Every thing announces that this will •be the manner of proceeding. The Orifiamme furthet says, that the possession of the Isle of Leon will make ns masters of the road, and place ns in a situation to batter down Pan tiles. This is an error. The Isle of Leon being taken, we shall not be intrantly masters of the road, for we shall still have to take the works which defend the Cortadora. The following is the natural progress of the operations :—!lender themselves masters of the river of Sain Petri by means of a flotilla ; employ the fire of this flotilla, and of the batteries of the isle ; force the passage of the river ; chase away the corps which occupy the isle of Leon ; advance on the road as far as the Cortadura, make themselves masters of this fortress, tarn Puntales, and endeavour to reduce it ; finally, begin the works of the siege before the front of the for tifications of Cadiz which look towards the road. Such, in few words, is what remains to be done, and such is probably the route which will be followed, at least, if'some extraor dinary circumstances do not authorise a deviation from it.— The disembarkation of which the Journals have spoken as likely to be effected between Pun'ales and Cadiz, or between Puntales and the Cortadura, may be attended with more speedy results, but it would also be much more dangerous. [peon erroi ca.] Our private correspondent supplies us with the most curious details of a conversation arrAch took place between Riego end our correspondent, in the presence of a third person. Our readers may rely upon the accuracy of the account ; of its in terest they must judge for themselves. 4 Asinuran, Smber 19. —General Riego is still here in the ep e prison of the c together with three officers who were made prisoners with hi at Arquilos. One of them is en English aver. who affects great indifference, and whom Riego occa sionally banters. When his turn came to declare his name end quality, he said his name was Williams, and that he was an Adventurer. Upon the whole, the prisoners passed their time more gaily than might be supposed. Riego is very communi cative. and delights to talk with the French, whose language he ;peaks perfectly. I availed myself yesterday of this disposition of his to see him. He entreated myself eft.l another person to enter his room, end we remained about three hours talking with him. lie replied, with the utmostemility, and even with a seeming frank ness to the num questions which I and my companion al ternately addressed to him. We asked him why, cud for what object, he quitted Cadiz? lie replied, that he was generally supposed to be much more powerful with his party than he really was, and that his leaving Cadiz was by no means the re sult of hid own wishes; but arose rather from the order of the Cones, among whom be had many enemies, who were delight. ad with en opportunity of thrusting him forward. lie said that he was perfectly aware of the snare, and that he was even on the point of embarking for Gibraltar to join his wife; but that the dread of passing for a coward prevented him. lie went first to Malaga, where, pursuant to an order of the Cor tes, he removed Zeyas, and caused him to embark for Cadiz; he afafessed that be had done thetas,e with about fifty Priests, but still merely is obedience to the instructions of the Cortes ; and be gave us his word of honour, that neither at Malaga nor at Jaen.nor at Mentos, had he committed any of the atrocities Imputed to Ma. His object in quitting Jane, and seeing himself pursued by General Boonemaio, was to throw himself into Cats- Wit, and join Mina. He did not expect to find French troops at Andojar. It appears, however, that the Con. Whitlow/lists are badly . supplied with spies, for we caused Mm coesiderable surprise, seven or eight times. by men. timing things which were perfectly well known. He said, that at Cadiz they were eatirely ignorant of political emus, and that when he left it, he did not believe is the submission of &Hastens.. 4*. ~,,,,--..-.. fie Mated to us:with minute details, his last interview with Ballasteros. He said lie was so persuaded that this °natal would juin hint, that before speaking to him aipOn tbd subject, be lost some time in frivolous conversation; but when, at length, be pat the question, Ballasteros replied, that he bad given his word to the French, and that he would not betray it. Riego, fancying he saw a considerable degree of self , love in this refusal of Ballasteros, and imagining that be would not like to find himself under his orders, went so .fi s eias to propose to serve as his Aid-de-Camp in the cans; paign. Ballasteros remained firm, and Riego then removed the guard which was at the General's door, and placed some of his own soldiers there. It was in this manner that Ballasteros found himself a prisoner. Riego talked with as also of his last afftir at Jaen; and he told us* dot neither officers nor soldiers would fight, although on the very morning of that day, they all demanded to be led against the French. What induced him to take to flight after this affair, was the circumstance of a ball bring.fired at him by one of his own soldiers, who was behind him. The hall killed his horse, and wounded himself slightly in the thigh. He defended himself warmly against the accnsstinn of having ilf treated the King on the mail from Seville to Cadiz. lie said it was decidedly against his opinion that the. King was removed, and that he had the highest possible regard for his Majesty. lie considers his rause as entirely lost. He says that if Cadiz continues to receive provision, it may yet hold out a long tune; but that his party were extinct, and that he could wish to see Cadiz open its gates. These words made as smile a little. He spoke with unbounded fury of the cowardiCe of his officers and soldiers ; !terabid that all Spaniards were cow ards. He could not imagine haw •25.0 French cavalry could heat 2,010 infantry, and needs , SIMI cavalry. He said, in; fact, that this affair was a mete plc mule encounter. A soldier ran away with his portmanteau, in which there were 30,0(10 duns*, either in gold or paper. (FROM THE JOURNAL DER DEBATE ) FORT ROYAL, MARTINIQUE. J t• Ls- 14. [ b . street from a priv ire letter ] We have learned, at short intervals, the entrance of the French artily into Spain, and its arrival at Madrid, under the vim-imam, of the Duke of Angottleme. Lieutenant General Count Donz lot, Governor of Mar tiniqiie. lost no time in despatching the • Jeanne d'Are fri'• gate, Captain Dnpotel, first to Porto Rico, and next to the Havannali, to explain the state of things to the Spanish t Authorities, and to propose to maintain between them and the French colonies, the same relations as formerly. giving reciprocally to the merchantmen of both nations, every guarantee against privateers. M. Dupotel, having on board Lieut. Chacon, of the Spa nish navy, lately envoy from the Havarrnah to Marti niqite, on a particular mission, was rereiveil with the greatest tlis ti onion by the authorities of Porto [tiro; and there is every reason to believe that our amicable relations with that island will not be interrupted. The despatches front M. Dopotel, brought b y the brig La Genie. state that the military Goiernor and Political Chief of Perto Rico are determined to maintain that island under the authority of the Governor for his Catholic Ma jesty ; bat that in order to ascertain the real state of al fair . they send Ito Earope an officer who e report will de termine what course they shall definitively adopt ; and that in the mean time no hostility will be committed against French commerce. As this officer cannot arrive in Spain until the space of between one and two months has elapsed affairs will then be sufficiently advanted to remove all the scruples of those who sent him. We are therefore quite confident that peace will be preserved in these seas. The Jeanne d'Are was to sail from Porto Rico to the Havannalt with Lieutenant Chacon still on bore d . It is probable that the reply of tile authorities of that colony and of the Spanish Admiral in those seas hill nolbe less satis factory. The Thetis and the Constance frigates, commanded by Captains Rouganville and Saint Simon, are charg ed with a similar mission to General Morales and the 'Spanish Admiral commanding the squadron stationed off tiu tyra, and we expect from it the saute results. It is, then, very protoble that our mercantile navigation will not be disturbed, either by the Spanish privateers or ships of war which cruise in these seas. But should it, contrary to all expectation, prove otherwise, our squadron is suflicieutly strong to afford security to our trade, by pro tecting our merchantmen from insult, and by snaking any ships which may present themselves as enemies, experience the same fate which our army has inflicted on the rero lutiunary bands that attempted to oppose its march to the capital of Spain.

New Spanish 27& to 28-0141 341—Colombian 5.51 to 56 —French Scrip, 21 nominal. The Madrid mail bas brought us this morning the con tents of letters, by way of. Bayonne, of the 10th inst.; bat these consist more of speculations on the probable result of the present state of affairs, than of actual news. The opinion that the war will be quickly terminated, gains ground daily among the Royalists, and the friends of ar• bitrary power and of the French ; but the Constitutionalists on their side maintain that the war would n ot.be ended even if Cadiz had the weakness to submit, and to deliver up the King, which they will not believe, These are still, they say, Nicest, Cartbagena, Bad ajoz,:and Cuid ad Rodrigo, which are in good state of defence, especially ,the first three ; and several gnerillas e which will encrease at the approach of winter. In Estramadura tbere are Lopez Banos and Empecinado, who have just ob. __...__. THE STATESMAN .tatted a considerable advantage, over Qtiesada ; and if Ili this should fail, we have, say they, Catalonia, which will be :the bulwark of Liberty, where the army of Mina becomes the rendezvous of all the fugitives and military of all ranks, who, disapproving what they call the treason of Morillo and 'others, repuir to Catalonia in spite of a thousand obstacles and dangers. Thus on the 9th of this month, says the Sara gossa Gazette of the lath, 200 men of the army of Ballasteros arrived at Lerida : and the Constitutionalists even fancy, that if King Ferdinand were restored to liberty, their ranks would be swelled by numerous fugitives who might have reason to fear the vindictive spirit which would probably animate some of his impolitic advisers. The timber of persons who are destitute of employment is very great, so that recruits will never be wanting. The French may therefore prepare fresh troops and more treasures to continue the war: but the end of It is not so near. The Constitutionalists, beaten in one point, u ill recover strength iu ‘nother, and all the success hitherto obtained has not come nearer to the main point, the pacifica tion of the country. General Boar& Is on his way to Madrid, wtth 2,500 men.— The Duke of Reggio is still at Madrid. That garrison c )12- slats of only 2,500 French, and 1,200 men of the army of the Faith. O'Donnel Is still in the environs of Cuidad Rodrigo, but does not blockade it. It is said that at the arrival of General Bourck, a corps will be sent on an expedition to IL'- tramadera, and that 3000 Portuguese are to blockade Ba dajoz.—The correspondence with the Cabinet of Lisbon is very Wive. The garrisons of giant and Carthagana come into the plain as they please. Tha provinces of Murcia and Andalusia are nut more governed by the Regency than by the Constitutional ist,. They are in a state of complete anarchy. By the following article we learn that the Equinoctial Gales had driven a French squadron from one station on the coast of Spain ; and that if the projected attack on Cadiz were not made before they commenced, the flotilla may be prevented from co-operating on the occasion :••••• BAYONNE, September 21.—We have just learned that O'DoNNELL, the Governor of St. Sebastian, has returned a negative answer to the summons of Marshal Lauriston to sur. render the place. Ile aspires doubtless to the honours of a siege. The French squadron cruizing off the port had been obliged to retire by the bad weather. It is thought that Pam peluna might have made a longer defence. No blame is *Hei -1 bused to the Governor, Sanchez Salvador; but his soldiers, it is said, were afraid of sustaining an assault. The troops of the Faith are not satisfied at the French having occupied the ci tadel. Hamburg papers to the 2l:h inst. have reached us by tl.e 111.1i1 this morning. From them we learn that the Greeks have mustered a force of 34,000 men in Candia ; that some of the rich Greek houses in Italy have contribited large sums to fitting out the fleet ; and that arrangements are making in Berlin for the accommodation of the Stat es of Brandenburg and Lower Lusatia. We regret ,to state that the capture of Riego appears con firmed beyond the possibility of further doubt. The con. versations stated to have been held with him, in a letter from Andnjar, can hardly be altogether fabrications ; and from *his own account of the miserable cowards under his command, it would seem that a brave officer never had to encounter more galling circumstances.— Without supposing a widely extended treachery in his ranks, not even cowardice can explain or justify the dis. persion of so large a corps in so short a period; but with this solution, the whole affair may have been a mere intrigue on the part of Ballasteros to lead the gallant Riego into the toils of the invaders. It is said that he is to be delivered up to the Spanish authorities. This is to deliver him up to murder. He is the prisoner of the French, and they are respon►ible for his protection, and his safety ; but, alas the fate of Ney and Labedoyere strew us sufficiently the little reliance that can be placed either upon Bourbon honest, or Bourbon humanity. The New Times will have it that the Spaniards are not cowards, but that" the nation was never hearty in the " cause of the Cortes ; and the faction that supported that " cause, was not only weak in numbers, but wholly desti " tute of military experience and organization." if this view of the case were true, how came the faction to triumph over the nation, against the numbers and the military experience on the Royalist side of the question ? How came it to require 100,000 French troops to aid the Spanish nation toput down a faction weak in numbers, and destitute of talent ? How comes it, that Cadiz is not yet subdued, and that Mina and !blunt in Catalonia maintain decided superiority over the invaders.? The whole history of the revolution proves that thefeelinsts of the nation 11103 have been in its favour; and that it was opposed only by a faction weak in number, and despicable in influence. It is, however, clear, that the nation has not been energetic i maintaining its predilection. Treason, on the 'one hand and inefference on the ether, with but few exceptions, have pervaded the seat of every contest ; and enabled the faction to make head against the popular cause ; which, it is now probable,' after a yet violent struggle may be placed in the last jeopardy and yet triumph. Oar hopes are not 'limited by the immediate result of the present cam palm should it terminate with the liberation of Ferdinand. The question yet remains what is to be done with him , The faction which needed the assistance of a French army will be powerless, when the French army shall return. The nation that would not endure the Royal tyranny of Ferdinand, will not be the wore reconciled to it by the foreign invasion, and the domestic treason which shall rein• state him. Other Quirogas, and other Riegos will arise; and other revolutions will follow, when the people will be better able to appreciate, and to maintain the sight. An intelligent correspondent writes tlins:—" For my part, I care but little " about the immediate result of the Spanish tsar. Perhaps " it would be ultimately best that the World should see " what the Holy Alliance will de, when power backs their will. I never think of Christopbe, the black King o " Hayti, drawing the trigger on hims -If, bat what th- ~ 1 ~ i • , 00 " monarchs of the continent present themselves to "my mind.

With reference to the interests of the world at large, it would be best, that the Holy Alliance should be led on, like Napoleon, from success to success, until is. hinstion produced the total rdin of their infernal machine. tions against the ha; pi e s of mankind ; but one cannot help wishing them foiled at every step, and that every blort might recoil on their own beads. Yet we confess out cot respondent has great reason on his side. If the amisitiot of Napoleon could hare been kept within reasonable limits his power could never have been destroyed t and a crowds against republicanism in America may be the mortal dime ,. of royalty in Europe. The garrison of Barcelona has had another brilliant affAir with Moncey. They left the town at five in tlo morning, and kiat up an attack upon the Freich lines until ten, and then " retired under the protection of Fort Pis:'— This is the French account of the movements of a garrison' which they boasted of shutting (t;) in the town some montl.,!' ago. It is said that the object of Riego was to join Mina in Catalonia. We wish such an attempt had succeeded. Yesterday Mr. Alderman Waithmin was elected the Lord Mayor for the City of Loilon, fur the ensiling year: and, strange to add, the Court of Aldermen were unanimous in thrir decision upon the subject. This gentleman hasp, reached the highest os:ensible reward which his fell,' citizens can bestow upon Lis laborious exertions in helm( of the public cause. Some fastidious ears, it seems, were offended at Mr. Galloway's allusion to the statue of 31r. Pitt, which be said he hoped to see removed from 1 Atm: lion in which it mocked the good sense of every alien. I At the time when Mr. Thompson said it ought to be removed as a disgrace to theLt' minion Hall, it certainly would bate been destroyed, had the means been at hand. This se should have regretted. We hold that the memory sl Mr. Pitt should never be forgotten ; and we Ca not care how often the age is reminded of the fully and mischief of his system. But the memorial is this-placed. It should be removed, to decorate the debtors o(r of Newgate,to indicate the ruinous cons 'rpm of his measures;—or peidiaps the front of the New Bethke would not be (inappropriately ornamented with this sped men of the arts ; in which Mercury, although the God of Thieves, by the nice discrimination of the artist is repro s nted as waiting upon his master, and standing in humble attendance to receive his commands. We should hate re:oo.m nded the rotunda at the Bank for the reception of this memorial of the Grand Lama of the stork-jobbing rare; but as a few years will alter the destiny of that edifice, pro- bably into a house of correction for certain directors, with a tread-mill for their amusement, it might serm cruel to mock them with the image of their great mincer. MAGISTAACTr•TWO morning journals have been attach ing each other on the merits of a paid, and an *tape! magistracy le Forgetting that the terms are synominsm and that all our Magistrate: are paid; those who are s► n►isally unpaid, being paid the best.

They do not stipulate with him what he slog put into the bag which they would open, but if he di.l not throw in some sop or other, they would either resign, or oppose his measures. The parties understand out another very well. We know of one magistrate, %v ia). by acting as his own clerk, contrives to keep house by the fees of administering oaths, taking tecognizances, Zze Is he not paid for his services? Letters from Petersburg dated August :10, state that the Capitalists had swept the Markets, of 2,300 casks of tallow at 120 rut les per cask; which is 50 rubles dearer t a t the last account. The St. Petersburg Court Gazette of the sth of Sc". says, that in the month of July immense swarms of linnets appeared in the Government of Woronesk ; they came free the country of the Don Cossacks, and committed great a meson the standing corn ; but the speedy and elf, coal measures of the magistrates soon obliged them to retreat into the Steppes of the Don.
