LONDON, MONDAY, Serratures 6, 1826. The Paris Papers of Friday arrived last night. They contain no fresh intelligence from Spain. In another column we have given some account of the course and pro ceedings of BEIISIERLs previous to his apprehension. It is remarked that though by a royal decree issued on the 21st silt. he was declared a traitor, and ordered as such to be shPt immediately on being made prisoner, he was not exe cuted till the third day of his captivity. He was taken on t:te 23d, and suffered death on the 26th. Why this delay should have occurred in such a case it is difficult to imagine, unless we suppose that powerful intercession was made in his favour by the agents of the apostolic party, of which he wes the instrument. General CA PAP C, who is imprisoned far a similar attempt in Arragon, has been removed from the comfortable apartments he occupied in a public edifice to the common gaol. It is probable that he will now be prosecuted wit► rigour. There is not a line of intelligence from Greece in these Papers. The Maisano. contains the official report from the Minister of Marine and Colonies, regarding the re cognition of the independence of Hayti. It gives no information as to the nature of the negotiations which preceded the acceptance of the Royal Ordinance by the Haytian Government; and it begins with a very, awkward endeavour to explain why the naval force seas sent to "second" the Kr Na's intentions towards the emancipated people of St. Domingo. "It was fitting," says the report, " that they should be accompanied by that appearance of force and dignity which is proper to all that emanates from a King of FIANCE !" It ap pears that at the end of three days the conferences be tween the Baron de Mac& Al: and the Haytian Commis sioners had produced no result. The conciliatory dis pinition of President Boras, however, prevented the rup ture of the negotiation ; and, finally, on the explana. titans of the French Envoy, and, " trusting to the good iith of the KING, he accepted the ordinance in the name of the people of Hayti." The strange wording of that absurd, if not perfidious document, had, it seems, natu rally excited the suspicions of Bort'. He would not, upon his own responsibility, adopt any resolution con c:rning it, and therefore called to his assistance some lead ing members of the Senate, and the principal officers of the island. " The difficulties that had arisen in the discussions," we are told, were removed only by " their confidence in the wont and generous intentions of the K inn." On the 11th of July the Senate were con voked for the confirmation of the ordinance, which ce remony took place amidst the general rejoicing of the inhabitants, and cries of " Vivele Rol !" " Vire le Dauphin de Prance!" It is unfortunate, if the King of Fiance really intended to make a full and absolute concesion of their independence to the people of Hayti, that his Ministers did not express his intentions so clearly on the face of the ordinance as to render unnecessary all the explaailions which the Baron de MACK AU bad occasion to give. ' l `mthe Haytians at lest, according to this report, re lied more upon the Kisio's honour and generosity than on the terms of the document by which their independence was granted. [From the Official part of the Mo,ettear of Friday.] DEPARTMENT OF MARINE AND COLONIES. REPORT TO THE KING. The preamble of this repot gives a sketch of the events relative ; to St. Domingo since 1791, the pre:arious state of the commercial relations between France and its former colony, his Majesty's de• termination to put an end to such a state of things, and to declare hts will by a loyal ordinance, to second which .considerable naval ! force was ordered ,to be preAted, "not from any doubt that the teal mention of his Majesty would be well received, but because it was ! muting that they should be accompanied by that appearance of force and dignity, which i► proper to all that emunates from a King of France. Haring 'rated his Majesty's enders for the mission of Baron Madan, and for the assembling of the naval force at Yon Royal, Martinique, the report proceeds:— •• Your Majesty's intentions have been punctually executed with a precision not always attainable in expeditions depending on so many contiogencies. " The squadron under Rear Admiral Jurieu, on the 20th June, cseaiated of—The Eylsu of 80 guns, Jean Bart 74, Venus 24, the Nymph, Themis, Magicienne, Medea, Circe, and Salamandre, each 04'18 guns, and five brigs of 10, 18, and 24 guns. Baron Mackau • Commander of the Circe, had orders to salt some days earlie► thin the squadron, which was not to .pear ma Port-au-Prince till it should have received notice. This officer sailed for Martinique the 23d, with the Circe frigate, and the Ruse and Bearnaise brigs. lie appeared off Port-au•Prince the 3d July. , The remainder of the squadron sailed fur Port Royal the 27th of June. The reception given to Baron Mackau authorised him to .'spat ;he c, • uccas of his mission. As soon as he appeared in sigh or., •II 4 came ell board, and a suitable residence wa s , ',sa r i, a i.i n 'on-our-Prince, as well as to the officers under - - -67 Coofcienees were immediately opened between him and three Commissict.ers appoir.ted by the Present of the Gowern• t ment of Ilayti, and u in three digs they had led to no result, they were taken up by the President, to whose conciliatory Intentions, Baron Macklin does full justice. " It was on the Bth July, after some preliminary discussions. which were not without Importance, but which were carried on with that spirit of conciliation which leads to the conclusion of affairs when there is a sincere wish to do so, that the President wrote to BEron Mackau, that after the explanation given him, and trusting in the good faith of the King, he accepted, in the name of the people of Hayti, the ordinance of your Majesty, and that he was going to take the necessary steps to have it confirmed in the Senate with due solemnity. " I must inform your Majesty that the President, before he took this resolution, thought it his duty to consult several ►!embers of the Senate, and the principal officers of the island ; that the difficulties which had arisen In the discussions were laid before them ; that they all declared they would confide in the wisdom of the Chief of the Republic; that confidence in the word and ge nerous intentions of your blajesty alone smoothed all obstacles ; and that when Baron klackau was introduced from the Cabinet of the President into the Hall, where all the principal officers were assembled, cries of ' Vire k fbi !" Vire k Dauphin dc France!' Vivc k France,' were uttered with unanimous acclamations, and mingled with cries of the national independence which your Ma jesty's ordinance had just proclaimed and recognised. " It was on the 11th July that the Smite was convoked to pro ceed to the contirmation (Enterinement) of the ordinance, accord. ing to the forms prescribed by the Constitution and laws of the country. This day was a real holiday for the inhabitants of the island, the whole population had assembled in the squares and streets through which the ptoccssion was to pass. A numerous body of troops of the most martial appearance formed a double line from the sea shore to the Senate-House. The squadron bad been in. sited to enter the port. Baron Mackau, accompanied by Rear. Adadials Jurieu and Grivel, and the officers of the squadron, bogie ♦ish the most solemn pomp the ordinance of your Majesty, which bas saluted as it passed by all the guns of the ships, and with the anal:Salons acclamations of the people. When they reached the Se nate, where they were received with due respect and ceremony, the ordinance was confirmed in their presence. The prom's: rerbal Of this sitting, and the speech of the President of the Senate to your Majesty's commissioners leave no doubt of the unanimity of send- meats with which it was received, and the profound gratitude which it has exc;ted in every heart. It was amidst cries of Long live the King of France, long live his beloved son, that the sitting broke up, and that a Committee of Members was ordered to carry a report of the proceedings to the President of the Republic. " From the day of this sitting, till the 18th July, when the squadron sailed, and to the 20th, when Baron Mackau quitted Port au Prince, there was a series of brilliant fetes, and the joy manifested by the people proved that the benevolent intentions of your Blajesty were felt and appreciated, as you had a right to expect. " Baron Mackau has given a passage on board his vessel to three envoys, who came to France to negotiate a loan to fulfil the con. dition of the ordinance. "Sire, these stifle sentiments which were expressed with so much enthusiasm at 2,000 leagues from your capital, In an Island from which so many events seemed to divide us for ever, have manifesed themselves in the same manner in the ports and maritime cities of your kingdom, which are sources of prosperity re-opened which they believed to be dried up. The ancient colorists, so long de. prived of resources, and not preserving even the illusions of hope, will: feel an unexpected relief. A fixed state, subject to all the roles of reciprocal attention and respect which civilisation has in., troduced among nations, between which it forms the first basis of public law, will replace that precarious state which was not without danger to all European colonies. " I shall not terminate this Report, Sire, without laying at your Majesty's feet the expression of the devotedness of the Coen. mender, and of all the Officers in his squadron. All were equally zealous punctually to execute your Majesty's commands. The Reports of Baron Mackau, which I have before me, will, I ven ture to hope, leave you no doubt that this Officer has answered the confidence you placed in him. This mission, to make use of his own expression in his conference with the President of Ilayti, gave him the charecter of soldier, and not of a diplomist or a negotiator- The frankness of his explanations are perfectly in harmony with that which the President never ceased to show from the first In stant, I have no doubt smoothed many difficulties. I will venture to recommend him to your Majesty's favour. " I am, with the most profound respect, Sire, your Majesty's most humble and faithful servant.

The editor of the Journal Belgique deems it of importance to contradict, with great emphasis, a report mentioned in some London Paper, that there had been diplomatic conferences at Spa respecting a pretended demand of the French Government to have Philippeville and Landau restored, on the ground that thaw fortresses were ceded for ten years only. Every body knew that, by the treaty of Paris, the King of FRANCE renounced them for himself, his heirs, and successors, for ever. The following paragraphs, respecting tke linen trade of the Netherlands ; are all that are worth extracting:— It seems, says the Journal de Gaud, that notwithstanding the enormous duties lately' Imposed V France on our linens, they hare risen in our last markets, where French dealers were the chief pur. chaser: it is thought certain that the opening of the ports of St. Domingo, and the advantage given to French goods and vessels, is the chief, if not the only cause of this rise. The linen trade is also very brisk in Silesia. That brought to market sells readily : the bleaching grounds are covered, and raw thread has risen in price. SPAIN, it appears by all our accounts, public and pri vate, still goes floundering on, from day to day, in her caiee of anarchy. How long the insane despot, nem- NAND, will be able to keep his ground, it is not easy to say, but that it cannot be long seems certain. The present state of things must soon have an end. With revolutionary projects ripening in all quarters, an explosion must ensue. The feeds of revolt are so thickly sown, that although it may be impossible to say " which seed will grow, and which will not," enough will ripen to the harvest, and, we fear, to a harvest that must be reaped with the sword. Spain is at this moment, in effect, tributary to France. But for the troops of the latter, stationed, as they , are, in front, in flank, and in rear, the theme of FLEDINAND would not be worth ten days' purchase. Even the broad shoulders of the Priesthood could not uphold it. The whole frame of despotism would fall to pieces; and, as it , is, this catastrophe cannot long be deferred. The imbecile rashness of the Catholic Tyrant, cold-blooded and cruel as he is, is too tame, and too undecided to suit the remorseless , bigots that surround him. Clothed in the garb of reli gion, and drinking blood behind its mask, these wretches dare, in the face of Europe, to profane the name of the Saviour of the human race in the very proceedings in which they spurn at the majesty of Gm% and would inter. cept all mercy from man. " Nothing is so fit"—say they in their public ad dress to the Spanish people—" Nothing is so fit to render men contented as the regulation of their con science, and accordingly the observance of the law of JESUS CHRIST is the best means of teaching obedience to all those laws which emanate froM the supreme civil power, respect to every authority, and the fulfilment of all social duties. Preserve then, in all its purity, the Hoi.y CATHOLIC RELIGION, by eradicating errors and' teaching its true principles. Thefirst of these great objects will be obtained by re-establishing the HOLY TRIBUNAL of the liquetertioN, and THAT, and nothirig but THAT, ES capable of producing such salutary effi•cts." (Supplement to El llcstaurador, distributed gratis at Madrid.) And this doctrine it is, that, le CRUCIFIX a la main, the JESUITS are preaching with the most ardent activity to all the lower orders throughout FRANCE! It is to"the re-establishment of the ancient Catholic regime that the BOURBONS look forward as the only main-stay of their sovereignty. They have no resource but in the priesthood ; it was to aid their cause that French troops were sent to Spain; it is to assist, by their presence, the counter-struggle for ascendancy now so ferociously carrying on that these French troops are suffered to remain there. " Re-establish"—says the official circular we have just quoted—" Re-establish the HoLy TRIBUNAL or TIIE FAITH, that the impious may be struck dumb and pu: to flight, and return no more to propagate their pernicious principles. Finally, consign the education of youth to the SOCIEIT OF JESUS, to perform that duty in the'seme moaner as &rose 1 s extionyion, in order that our tranquillity may thus be lasting." The BovatioNs, however, both of France and Spain, may rest assured, that could they " preserve, in all its purity, the Roman Catholic religion," political freedom will force its way. Associations are on foot which will not only trample out the HOLY TRIBUNAL or aHe Isoutst rioN, but extirpate its patrons. It is in vain that the Archbishop of Nets intrigues with the priests of Madlid; the progress of knowledge is an obstacle over which they must in vain ex/4a to triumph. They seem to forget that it is only upon the ignorance of a people that credulity can levy its contribudoMt. From this ignorance the kingdoms of the Continent are fast emancipating themselves. It has already become unsafe to' drive then to eztremilies. This is a truth which the Monarchs, both of France and Spain, have yet to learn : it will probably not force itself upon their reflection till is too late. They are, apparently, like the fencer described by DEMOSTHENES, who never thought of parrying a blow till the stroke had been given. The warfare between the working classes and the manu facturers seems to abate very little either in its txt:nt or intensity. The GLASGOW WEAVERS' ASSOCIATt ON finding their financial WAYS AND MEANS not equal to the out-standing demands, the Committee have resolved to raise a loan on the credit of the most responsible members of the Union. The pledged faith of " a thousand weavers, of firm and unyielding honesty," is certainly a very hand some guarantee. We doubt if the most cautious speculator in the money market could ask for more. Whether the bonds of this JOINT-Sroca (30MPANY of Debtors will b: at a premium is more than we can prophecy, but we doubt not they are "all honourable men." In the meantime, it is but justice to add, that they have manifested no disposi tion to carry their resistance beyond that of making their masters" shy" of such "customers ;" and it must be owned that both sides" display great game." TheWooLc omit Ea. and STCFF WEAVERS of Basproao are still in the ring with their employers, the former act " on the retreating system," and the latter are thought by some of the manu.. factoring Fancy to cams up weaker and weaker; others fear that on a close both will go down. In the encounter between " the LiNENDaar ens and their Aas 'sr N Ts" the latter bay. hadthebest of it,notwitbstand log the want of science, of which they complained so much. They doubled their opponents up, after the second round. Both parties have at length finally agreed upon the hours after which, in future, they will not accommodate customer. CI FY, SATURDAY EVENING. Although money was easier to-day, still the Consols Market continued in a very feverish state during the whole morning. They opened at 87k for the account, with a firm appearance, which was strengthened by an eminent broker coming in and buying largely ; but during this operation, another very leading member came in, and sold to a great extent ; in consequence, the market became rather flat, but still there was no great depression of price. In this state the market remained fluctuating between 1, al teruately buyers at each price, till towards the close, when it sunk to le. A great deal of business was done, and considerable agitation prevailed from the uncertain state of the market. Exchequer Bills advanced to 4s. Is. pre mium. In the Foreign Market the principal business was South American Securities, particularly in the Colombian Bands, which reached 752 761. Mexican Scrip also greatly improved ; at one time it reached 8 7 discount, and left off at 91 9. Our readers will recollect, that it was as low as 141. The new Guatemala Scrip, which we noticed yesterday as having improved even in the height of the panic, to-day rose to 2 discount ; its closing price was 21. Brazilian Scrip continued under severe depres sion. It was at 10 10 - discount to the end of the market. Old Spanish Bonds (the new seem to be lost sight of in the recent alarm) were quoted at 211 1, and Creek Scrip at 17 162. • The business in the Share Market was very lim ited. There was some jobbing in the Potosi Shares. They kft off at 3 31. Anglo Mexican Shares at 60 5, and the United Mexican Shares at 20, 22. Rock Salt Shares were reported at 71. It must have been observed that these Shares have not declined in any thing like the proportion of most others during the late panic. This circumstance may be accounted for, we understand, amongst a variety of other favourable causes, by the considerable interest which the Directori necessarily have in the undertaking, every individual in. their number being obliged to Jsold, Shires to an intoutielharfilust fifffirertTle . most opulent amongst them to give his attention to the business of the Company. These Shares during this alarm have not de clined above '2 per cent. When it was getiertillY believed that the King had granted a pardon to the Empecinado, people were much surprised to learn on Thursday evening that an Extraor dinary Courier had brought. the news of the execution of this unfortunate person, who was hanged at Itueda. The barbarity of his keepers was displayed by their giving , him some blows at the very moment when they came to read him the order for his execution. The Einpecivado was originally a journeyman of Itueda ; he acquired great renown in the war of independence, and it was his genius that created the Guerilla warfare. He rendered great services both the King and country, for which they have just recompenced him.—(.e Courier Francais. The famous ‘Capape, who was confined in the prison called " The Seminary of the Nuides," and which is now a barrack for the royal guard of infantry, was removed in the night of the day before yesterday to the prison in this city. It is said that it was because the police had been in structed that the apostolic' pessessed the incans of enabling him to escape. We remember that Capape ts:s one of the first in ! trragon to raise a band in favour of the Infant Don Carlos.—Le Courier Francais of Friday. LATE RETOLT IN SPAIN: ( From the Courrier Francais.) MADRID, ALTO. 25. General Espagna, appointed General-in-Chief of the troops as sembled at Alcala, and amounting together to 5,000 men of all arms, has divided his forces into two eying columns, at the head of which he has placed Don Carlos Sexti and Don Viccnti Osorio, these troop having taken the route towards Arragon, after the I direction taken by those which followed Benders. The parti culars which I now trpnstnit to you are extracted from official in formation received from the Ministers, the Captain-General, and iiperintendanee of Police. Bessieres, on arriving at Brihuega, was well received. lie immediately assembled the Royalist Volunteers, end told them that the King was surrounded by the Negros (Moors), that he was in captivity, that the French were going to enter the kingdom to fasten the chains of the people still more, and to establish the Chambers and in order to prevent all this it was unnecessary to place upon the Throne a than who might know how to make his authority repected. Such WAS, according to his opinion, the infant Don Carlos. Eighty Royalist Volunteers having resolved to follow him, he dis tributed large sums of money amongst them and their wives, and disarmed the others, and incarcerated fall the Negros, as well as those Royalists who did not evince sufficient zeal in the cause, after having made them pay very considerable fines. If he had remained much longer in that city his forces would have been much increased, for from the report which had spread itself that he was at Brihuega, a great number of the inhabitants of the surrounding villages hastened to enlist themselves under hia banners, but they returned to their homes, finding that be was gone. After Bessieres had departed a strong detachment of Royal troops came to Brihuega, who set the persona at liberty whom he had ar rested, and restored order. The Carlist chief marched upon Signus cnza, but the authorites of that city opposed his entry, and sent him the Gazette which contained the Decree of the 17th against the note's. The Gazette was carried to him by our officers, with unlimited power; and after some parleying, Bessieres said he would not enter the city. He then repaired to a small village about a league from Signenza; and while he was there, taking some rest. an individual to whom the superintendant Recacho bad given orders to join the rebels, in order better to ascertain the nature of their designs, harangued the troops, showed them the King's decree, and exhorted them to lay down their arms. :More than 150 men home diately deserted the rebel standard and retired to their homes, and when Bessieres awoke he found himself nearly abandoned. He then took tha route towards Cuenca. The following Decree has been published in the Madrid Gazette:— Nl'hen I despatched my Royal Decree, dated the 17th of this month, respecting the scandalous insurrection that had taken place at ()cafe, its authors and instigators were not sufficiently knowa to me. The active zeal of different authorities had described tome Field Marshal Don Georges Bessieres as being one of the principa agents of that crime, but I had not proofs to enable me to convict him of so horrible an affair, and it was necessary to wait for them. Now that the criminal conduct of this rebel is well known since he put himself at the head of the rebellion ut Brihuega, 1 have decreed at follows : " Art. 1. I declare George Bessieres a traitor, and as such he is deprived of his situations, rank, honours, and decorations. The same declaration is applicable to the chiefs and officers who accom panied him, and to those who co-operated with arms it his cri minal attempt. " Art. 2. All those who shall be taken shall be immediately shot without any other delay than what is necessary in order for them to prepare to die as Christians. " Art. 3. All those who favoured or aided, although indirectly. those who communicated information, those who maintained, con ducted, or concealed a correspondence with the said Chief Rebel' shall be taken and tried in a short and summary manner, conform ably to the laws of the kingdom. Art. 4. The preceding Articles shall be applicable to all those who initiating the infamous conduct of Bessieres shall dare to raise the standard of revolt against my sovereign authority, upon what ever part of my State it may be, without its being necessary for a new decree following that which I published on the 17th of this month. '• Art. 5. My Alcade de Casa y Corte, Pon Matias de Her. rero Prieto 'WI proceed with a summary information in order to ascertain the accomplices in this revolutionary insurrection, in are resting those who shall be implicated whatever may be their estate class or condition. " Art. 6. All the authorities of the kingdom will take care to display the greatest activity and z.tal in finding and arteating all dose whom they shall know to have taken any part whatever in this rebellion. " 7. Art. The Superintendant General of the police shall employ all the means in his power to discover the ramifications of this con. spiracy against the safety of the state; he will proceed to arrest all who shall be implicated in it, and shall place them at the disposal of the Alcade de Casa y Cone, above-named. Given at St. Ildefonso, the 21st of August. 1/125. I, THE KING. Despatches were received yesterday morning at the Fo reign Office, from Paris. Extract of a letter dated Rio de Janeiro, 2d July : Report states that a Buenos Ayres privateer has made a prize of a brig loaded with arms and amunition, bound for Montevideo. The Danish navy actually consists of 97 vessels of all sizes, of which three are ships of the line, six frigates, and three corvettes. It will be augmented shortly by four ships of 84 guns, a frigate of 46, and a corvette of 20, which are building. M. Bergeron, the Curt, who some time back declared from the pulpit that Louis XVIII., and Charles X., would be damned, for having given and sworn to maintain the charter, is about to be tried before the Correctional Tri bunal of Blois. Ile declares that he will prove before his Judges, that all the Archbishops and Bishops who were present at the coronation are equally as much to blame as his Majesty, and that he is willing to suffer martyrdom for proclaiming these great truths. The Cure of St. Raphael (department of Var) thus addressed his congregation during a sermon on the coronation:—" Brethren, the King has been anointed—he is now like us. But lie does not correspond with God—that he can do only through our in tervention. You see, therefore, that he has not so much power as we have, though lie be a King." THE GREAT SHlP.—The Canadian Courant states that upwards of 300 men arc now engaged in loading this enor mous vessel, and ten horses are employed in raising the logs with the assistance of pulley and tackle from the ship's side. It is rather a novel spectacle to witness so many horses at work on a ship's deck, the same as if they were labouring in a field. Parties of pleasures in pilot boats lisit this vessel from Quebec, almost every day. CATuoLic AFFAIRB.—At no period, even during the highest and most energetic days of the late Catholic Asso ciation, has the Catholic mind of Ireland been in a higher state of excitement than at this moment. We make this assertion quite advisedly. IVehave, perhaps, as good op portunities as most persons to know the feet. We know, Soo, that, notwitlmanding the unhappy differenees which have prevailed upon certain points, there was never so thorough an union upon the great question, betw een a ll ranks, from the peer to the humblest peasant.—Dublin Evening Post. A meeting of the principal Catholic nobles and gentry of Meath, together with many Protestants of the county, (among the latter of whom woe Lords Darnley, Bective, and Duniany, Sir M. Somerville, Hon. Mr. Bligh, &c.) was held on Tuesday last at Hann.

Should the English have bought up large quanthies of wool on the spot, yet considerable supplies are expected here, chiefly from the remote provinces of the Austrian monarchy. No. thing can yet be said on the probable prices, though appearances seem to indicate that this article will maintain its old actual value, especially as the Netherlanders have no stock on hand, and there is even a scarcity of the manufactured article in that country.- IVbence it is expecud that woollen manufactures will rise con. siderably . in the approaching air.

The Waetington Gazette of July 27 publishes the fol lowing as an authentic copy of the last speech of Major Agostinho Bizerra Cavalcante, who was executed at Per nambuco, in the Brazils, for having taken up arms against the Emperor. It was addressed to a large concourse of spectators, and the Brazilian officers and soldiers who as sisted at the execution, in a firm voice. He died perfectly composed, and with the greatest courage : ' "My brothers and friends--Think not that it is to me horrible to be presented to you under this gallows, at a time when my conscience does not accuse me of having committed any crime against Gol and man. As a citizen and a soldier I have incliavoured to do my duty. As a Roman Catholic I have teen faithful to my duty and religion. Illy alleged offence is, de. tending the liberties of my country. Yea, friends, I defend my country. I have sacrificed myself for my country, and die for my country, and not for the pretended liberty of a tyrant, whose sole aim has been to introduce horror and slavery. It has always been my glory to do all the good I could to my inferiors_ as I did on the 22d of August, 11124, when the Major of ttt Ezercito Patriots was about marching into the itecifre, to mama our enemies, those European Portuguese who load opposed us, and which, through my counsel, was not done. All Pernam buco knows this to be a fact. I again say, I am conscious of no crimes. I love my country better than my life. I have always obeyed the dictates of religion. I have fled from vice and temptation, but still some of my countrymen have brought me to this gallows. I was born free, and free I will die; begging you will remember my offence was love of country, aid my greatest ambition to do good. •• Friends and countrymen !—I beg of you to be good Christians and Catholics, but pay not too much attention to what your Priests say—they will deceive you. Let me beg of you to be cautious of the lamperor—he is endeavouring to enslave you. " Soldiers !—You are ignorant, and deceived. By these you suffer yourselves to live like slaves. Better finish a life on this gallows titan to live in your situation as slaves. I glory in my end, because I die free, and a martyr of liberty." ME XICAN FESTIVAL. We extract from a number of the Mexican paper the So/, the following account of the last celebration of the fes tival of San Augustin de la Cucoas. This Catholic paecua or religious festival is held every year on IWhitsuntide at the village of which it bears the name, which is situated about four leagues from the city of Mexico. It is kept up for three days, and is one continued scene of revelry— cock-fighting, gambling, and pick- pocketing ; people of the highest standing (especially ladies) attend; and, as the little town is always crowded on the occasion, they have to pay very extravagant prices for refreshments, lodgings, and accommodations of every kind. The gamblers are always sure of a golden harvest. Ladies bet freely, and often very high. MEXICO, Max 25. The last rnnual fe.tival at San Augustin de las Cocoas was at. tended by a larger concourse of people, end celebrated with more magmficence and merriment than has been known for several years. lIIIAII the houses were taken, and all the most distinguished persons 1 1 of Mexico were present. Cock-fights, balls, promenades, all cell ,' lilted an immense concourse, and the most brilliant display of beatify and fashion. The road was continually tilled with coaches and persons on horseback. The eating-houses, all of which were disposed and served in the most delicate style, were never empty; and, unfortunately, we must say the same of the gambling houses; great winnings and losing"' are said to have taken place, as well at the monte-banks as at the cock-fighting. This desire of amusement, this spirit of luxury and magnificence, are, perhaps, the beat proofs of the progress which we have made in our political career—now we hear nothing of conspiracies—no one is prosecuted—all enjoy, in tranquillity, their liberty, their pro perty, and, what is more, hare the security of possessing, uninter ruptedly, the one and the other ; and thus it ja that the whole community give themselves up to diversions and pleasures, from the enjoyment of which they have been for a long time debarred. Let us if o on thus, and we shall soon have forgotten altogether the evil which we hare suffered. M.
