At seven o'clock in the morning of the execution of Alarshal Net. the horse gendarmerie aid the national guars!, horse and foot, were posted in all the avenues of the Luxembourg. At eight a veteran soldier went to the. Place St. Michel, to call a liackne3 -coach. At Moe the Marshal was in formed that every thing was reedy lie changed his clothes, and put on a blue frock, with a black waistcoat, breeches and stockings. Tne Cure of St. Sulpice and the Marshal were at the back of the coach, and two officers of eendartierie orcu;ihd the front seat. Numerous dctachinent. of royal gremoliers, gendarmes, and veteraos, accnnspanio•d 1.111 , 1 billowed the carriage, which crossed the garden of the palace and pursued the slew iteCiiiie, called the avenue of the Observatory. By the war the 31arslial delivered his gold snuff-box to 31. de Pierre, requesting him to give it, with two letters which he lid written during the night, to his wife. lie then took from his pocket some pieces of gold, which lie also gave to the Cure, saying—•' Here is something for the poor." Oa reaching the gate, the coach turned a little to the left, amid stopped about forts• pares from the gate, and thirty ham the wall, at the foot of which the execution was to take place. A nicrplet of ve terans, of sus teeit men, had been on the spot ever since live o'clock in the moining. At the moment when the coach stopped, the party formed in infer of battle. One of the officers of evodar merit , aliOd rd first, awl was followed by the Marshal, who a;•- paresltly inquired of loin if that was the place of execution, lie then walked with a firm step to the distance of eight paces tram the wall, and turn ing briskly towards the soldier, said, " fire at me, and take good aim." As he tittered these words, lie took off his hat widi 6ts left Laud, and placed his right Upon his breast. 'llse officer of the party gave the signal with his sword, and the 3larshal dropped down dead : several balls ►catered his head. The body was taken up and put upon a bier. It was exposed for a quarter of an limir to the view of the witnesses of this execution and the public ; af ter which it was covered with a cloth, and carried by veterans to the Hospital of 1,11 with out doubt to be delivered to Isis family. It is impossible to do justice to the zeal mani fested by the national guard, charged with the po lice external and internal, of the Palace of the Lux embourg, during the trial of Marshal Net•. As exact discipline was observed during those days of bustle by this city militia, as it could have been by the hest trained troops of the line. No person was admitted at the entrance of the pulaee, whatever might be his rank and quality, without a particular card, according to the title of each individual. This order was so strictly obeyed, that on Wed nesday one of his Miilest''► Ministers was stopped by the sentinel, at the gate of the palace. The Minister mentioned his name, but to no purpose. " My order," replied the sentinel, •' is slot to ad mit any person whatever." Meanwhile the Com manding Officer of the post came up, and recog nizing the Minister, began to apologize for the in terruption. " I have to congratulate you, Sir," replied his Excellency, with good humour, •' be cause the national guard knows so well how to obey milers. 1 was before acquainted with the sincerity of its zeal, but it was suit till I was stop ped by it that I was able to appreciate its spirit."

VIENNA. NOV. 46. THE BRITISH PRESS. ~~ .. (►'XTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.) We learn froin letters from Paris, that Prince Metternich has invited the Spanish Ambasoithir, the Duke de San Carlos. to proceed to Italy to the Emp , ror of Austria. It is said that this Andras. sitdor is charged to protest solemnly, in the nitrite of Maria Louisa, infanta of Spain, against the pow- SetiSloll of Parma and Placentia by the Archduchess Muria Louisa of Austria, and against the removal of the pictures of Parma from the Museum at Paris by the Austrian Commissioners. On the otio , r halal, a projected marriage between the Arciabicheas i.enpnldiue, the Emperor's se cond daughter, and the King of Spain, is the topic of general t'onversation. In my last letter I informed you of the apprehen sion of ('rowel. For some weeks past time police has been on the look out for this celebrated robber, without his having auy suspicion of the circum stance. It had found means to introduce some of its agents into his band, and to direct movements of the latter suitably to its plans. Grasel was enamoured of a girl who had been taken mid im prisoned, lint permitted, though in a manner wholly unknown to her, to escape. It was in tended, by means of this girl, and a female companion who hail been placed with her during her imprisonment, to entice Gram.' into a house, where all necessary steps had been taken to secure him. A confident of the Magistrates, brit supposed by Graft, to be attached to his interest, entered the house with him, and took all the re quisite precautions to prevent his escape. It is said that the Mayor of the town of Drosen dorf princilaallt• contributed to the success of the measures for apprehending this chief of banditti, who has been long known, hut for the last four months 11:1.4 carried nu his defiredations with the greatest audacity. He was taken in the vicinity of Horn, carried on the 20th to Stockerau, and brought about twelve o'clock on the 21st to this capital. Such was the eagerness of the people to see him, that thousands went to the other side of the Danube to meet him, and that in the evening the streets were crowded, because it was reported that he was to he transferred in the night from the hotel of the l'olice to that of the Tribunal of Justice.

FRENCH PAPERS RECEIVED LAST NIGHT. PARIS, DEC. 10. The King has appointed Conn; Reinhardt, Counsellor of State, his Minister Plenipotentiary to the Germaine Diet and the free City of Flank fort..—(Guyette We are :assured, that the Chamber of Deputies, in the Secret Committee of yesterday, heard the developetnent of a proposal of Count Sosthene de la Itochefoncatalt, that a general mourning should per ordered throughout France, and a funeral ser vice celebrated in all the churches on the 21st of January. It is said also to have been decided that the Central Committee, to which have been re feu red all the proposals of Messrs. Lahourdonnaye„ lessis, Dr Bromine, and Dr Germiny, will not make its report, if it should think lit, till it has de•lilwrated on the projer of the law of amnesty presented yesterday by all the Ministers. All the bureaux were afterwards renewed by lot. On Mon day, at twelve o'clock, there will he a meeting in the bureaux to deliberate on the projet of the law of amnesty. At two o'clock the Sitting will be made public, for the purpose of hearing three dif ferent reports. We have online(' the name of General Dronot in the list of persons who are to he apprehended and tried by Councils of %liar. The preliminary pro ceedings have already commenced before the first Council of War sitting at Paris. M. Mourre, Attorney-General of the Court of Cassation, will speak in the affair of M. ',scalene, in which M. Olivier, Counsellor of the said Court, is nominated reporter. We are authorised to state that Schulmeister, the secret agent of Bonaparte, is not a nati►•e of the do minions of the King of Wirtemberg•, and that he is not gone to that country, as some of the public papers have asserted. Yesterday his Excellency the Minister of War went to the Thud!cries after hia Majesty had break fasted, and transacted business with him till the tune for Mass. A Deputation of the Chamber of Deputies, composed of the President and Secretaries, Wilt§ 111 LO N DON, THURSDAY, DEcEmnEe. 14, 1815. The Paris Papers of the lOth (Sunday) arrived at a late hour last night. General DnouoT is the next of Bo,: A PA RTE'S part isaus who is to be brought to trial. The preliminary process has already com menced. Any free comments upon the fate of NET—any just exposition of the feelings which it excited, we did not look for; but the Paris Papers being freed from a subject which had en grossed their whole attention, we did expect to find in them some notice of other objects of im portance. It is therefore with feelings of disap pointment we see, at a moment when France is full of interest, their columns tilled with light and frivolous matter, not worth detailing. In this dearth of interesting intelligence in the public Journals, we are left dependant, in a great mea sure, upon private letters. The trial and ex ecution of Marshal NET form, as mat• be ex pected, the principal features of their intelligence; but they likewise acquire an additional interest by representing the state of public feeling in Paris on that important occasion. The anxious interest felt by the mass of the people for the Marshal's fate, was evinced by a sullen gloom, which generally pervaded them, stud the apprehensions of the Go vernment were no less manifest, in the extraordi nary precautions employed to preserve tranquillity. The citizens appeared in the streets in vast num bers during the continuance of the trial, but the iusposing strength of the military awed them into silence. The morning of the execution was dark and lowering, but it slid not prevent the assemblage of an immense crowd on the plain of Grenelle, where it was supposed the Nlarshal would sul3r r. To countenance this is troop s repaired thither at an early hour, and lined the avenues leading to it ; this, however, was but a feint, practised by the Government, to prevent the multitude from witnessing the fall of a man whose courage and conduct France had been long accustomed to respect; for while the people were thus attracted to the supposed scene of execution, where they await ed the fatal moment in trembling expectation, the Marshal had been &beady hurried to a spot far distant, and, almost tswitnessed, expiated his treason with Isis blood. To those who are amts.. touted to consider the efficacy of example as the sole justification for extreme punishment, there will appear but little in this execution of Marshal NET to distinguish it from au act of private ven geance. The soleihnity of a public execution is • extv.ansly awfid, and impresses ; strong moral lesson on the minds of the multitude, to whom it I ought to be particularly addressed. Unless the punishment of Marshal NEY was intended to ope rate as such, it should never have occurred ; hut as far as it was attended with this effect, it might, with as much advantage, have taken place in his bed chamber. A file of musqueteers might have been in traduced, and have blown out his brains, without danger of any immediate commotion, and by these means the Government would have spared itself the humiliation of proclaiming its apprehen sions, and have escaped the ignominy of practising such a contemptible feint on the anxious multi tude. This, however, can be collected from the circumstance, that the Government manifestly dreaded some serious consequences from the sym pathy of the people in the Marshara favour, and that in sacrificing this victim to their passions, they iettraged public opieion. %V will readily acknoa ledge A ey's himself confessed it; hut we will not concede the policy of punishing hini after such a lapse of time, when the country was begin ning to resume its tranquillity, and repose ill con fidence on the boasted clemency of the Monarch. To counteract the ill consequences of this exe cution, was evidently proposed by the introduction of the Art of Anna-sty by the Duke of Incur unt, foliated on the principles of the Royal Or dinance of the 3.tth of July. The bureaux of the Chamber of Deputies, present, with respect to the amnesty, rather a novel appearance, for there exist two projets on the same subject, but totally dissi milar in their spirit ; one proposed by the Count DE LA BOURDONNAYE, the other by the Prime Minister; but the hitter is mercy itself when com pared with the sweeping indiscriminate cruelty recommended by the other. Mercy, however, seems possessed of charms so little attractive, that one-third of the members were silent sit its up_ preach, Auld hailed, with clamorous vehemence, a petition front sonic southern town for renewing party distinctions, by ceninelling the adherents of BONAPARTE to defray the bidemnities. This party will Undoubtedly support the former Bill or Amnesty, and consequently oppose that of the Vtic DE RICHELIEU. With what mingled se n s a ti on ' of wonder and indignation will posterity tear! the records of the present Chamber of Deputies ; Raised to their lofty eminence for the purpose of defending and enlarging the general liberties, they have uniformly directed their attention to the most effeetual means of eternally repressing thein.—de legated to limit the executive power, they hasten to forge their fetters—and proud of their royal li very, dank their chains in admiration of their slavery. Every measure of severity was either pro.. posed or strengthened by their fervid royalism; and it, in the present moment of perturbation, Franco should be rephinged into her former misery, she a ill owe it to the conduct of her representatives. A Dutch Mail has arrived, from which we hare made extracts. They are not important. We extracted yeSterday, from the Brussels Pa. pers, an article under the head of Rome, stating, that the Powers of Europe have formed a league, by %%Inch they undertake to furnish*au army of 45,00 u men to put down the Barbary States., The details are very vague, and to give the credit to their full extent, would be to inmate a depth of ignorance in the European Poiirr, from which we hope they are free. That it would be a laudable undertaking to crush these Barbary States, which have so long dis4raced the world, and afflicted humanity by their ferocity soul licentiousness, none will question, but a force of 45,000 men would he totally inadequate to the purpose, and must perish in the attempt. Of the four Barbary States, Tripoli, the weakist, could bring into the field 45,000 men; Tunis, the next, double that number; Algiers, treble; and Mortal.° quadruple that amount. However these States may be now distracted by jealousies and comee tions, an external attack by a Christian force would not fail to unite them. Eight-tenths of their troops are horsemen, and although inferior to European troops, they are not deficient in courage and activity.

The Diet having taken a general resolution relative to all the persons of the family of Bonaparte, and the Cantons themselves having recently decided on the subject of Madame de St. Le• in particular, it is thought that this new application will be submitted to the decision of the confederate Cantons.
