- _ but, if it has not the noble simplicity 05.., Grecian architecture. still we cannot but admire the bold idea of • plan of such immense extent, forming. ou the four sides of a parallelogram, • series of 276 arcades, as closely connected together by passages, as if they were constructed after a circular design. " But (continues the writer just mentioned) what excites still greater ostonishment is, the pro.. iligioos height of the tower which crowns the prin. cipal entrance of the ternide. It measures not less than 344 feet, sod its decorations are of copper gilt. The sides are so profusely covered with sculpture as to fatigue the rye. When we farther consider that the blocks of granite of which this im mense edifice is constructed, were brought from quarries situated in the Ghouls. 200 miles from Juggernaut, and that many single pieces contain from ten to twelve thousand cubic feet, we may form some idea of the number of . years required to cut them, to remove them to such a distance. to hew end polish them, and afterwards to construct with them a building nearly 350 feet high. The French writer is of opinion. that 2,500 years would scarcely suffice for the completion of such an edi. ice : but though this estimate is doubtless greatly exaggerated, still the undertaking must have re qnired several centuries. According to Sonnerst. the Bromine ascribe to this temple au antiquity of 'truly 3,000 years. " The outer wall of the pagoda of Siringam, near Trichinopoli, is said to be four miles io circom. ferenee, and the manes forming the columns and terrace of the principal entrance are 32 feet long, and 3} broad. The following wonderful piece of workmanship in the pagoda of Shalembrou, though only • decoration, is deserving of mention. It con sist. of a single connected chain of granite, and is unedited to four masses of stone. The chain hangs, ov st least formerly hung. in the middle of the • body of the pseudo, in boar festoons, each •measuring• 137 French feet long, or together 548 feet, all of one piece. Each link was 3 feet t inches long. The whole was so exquisitely po lished, that it glistened like polished steel. The world certainly cannot produce any thing equal to this performance. " These antique structures. which mostly attest rather the patience and piety than the good taste of those by whom they were erected. have been en dowed at different periods with large revenues by pious rsjahs; and the offerings of the devotees, who throng trots all parts of Hindoostan to the festivals held at them. are continually adding to their opu lence. ....„ Some idea of their immense wealth may be formed from the following circum►tance Towards the conclusion of the tenth century Malimoud I. Sultan of Ghazna, made himself master, after an obstinate resistance and a dreadful carnage, of Sum- Hat, a town belonging to the itajpoota, ►ituated on a swill peninsula in Guzerat, and celebrated for u .spacious pagoda of great antiquity. Miihmoud ordered the colossal idol worshipped there ► which was thirty feet high, to be broken in pieces, and part of the fragments to be thrown io the area be fore the mosque, and the rest carried by way of • homage to Mecca and Medina. The Bramins hereupon repaired to him in a body. and offered him ten millions of gold crowns to revoke the order. The OmrsM advised Mahmoud to accept the offer, representing to him, that though he might destroy the idol, he would not thereby suppress idolatry, and that he would perform an action much more meritorious in the sight of God, if he were to dis tribute so considerable a sum among the poor .Mussulmans. Malimond, however, was ioflex ibJe, the idol was broken in pieces. and within it were found diamonds, rubies, and pearls, to a much greater amount than the sum offered by the Bramius. This temple was of great extent and immensely rich. Two hundred Bramins officiated in it as priests; and there were 300 devedassees. all distinguished either for beauty or high birth; fur the Rajahs themselves considered it as a great honour to obtain admission for their daughters into the service of the god. It maintained moreover 300 musicians. and 300 barbers, whose business it was to shave the devotees before they were ushered iuto the presence of the idol. " Besides the large idol already mentioned, the temple contained several thousand smaller ones, of gob' and silver; and the fifty-six columns which supported the roof of the nave were of massive gold. enriched with precious stones. Innumerable offaings were bronght from all parts of the penin sula to this temple, and various Hindoo princes had granted, for the maintenance of its establishment, a thousand villages. with all their dependencies."

Much of the attention of the Court was also directed to ascertain whether or no Grandmenil. one of the accused who is not appre. !tended, had said that M. de Lafayette was implicated in the conspiracy ; a fact which, however interest. ing it may be on other accounts, contributes not at all to the decision on the guilt or iutiocence of the prisoners. --,,—.....—. BA YON N E PAPERS. •AYONNE, AUOUST 27. The accounts which we have received of Quesada's expedition confirm the statement that he had p►o jected a junction with the Trappist, who on the 16th was at Bs!laser°, in Arragon, where his troops com mitted the greatest excesses for twenty-four hours, in consequence of the resistance made to him ; the junction was to take place at Wail's, and would have been effected but for a sudden movement of the Empecinado, who, however, hail no orders to pursue the Trappist, but only the factious dispersed at Siquenza, who had retreated towards Calataytul. In fact, the Empecinado learnt in this city on the 18th the projected junction of the Trappist and Quesada, and resolved to march to Balbastio, which the first had left the same day, taking the road to Huesca : lie put in requisition all the carriages that he met with, and on the 21st, at day-break, overtook his adversary. who most certainly did not expect to meet him. The Trappists were surprised, and terror seized them: the Empeciliado completely routed them in less than en hour, killed 200, made a great many prisoners, and took 60 horses, the baggage, the treasure, and a part of the pillage which they had carried off from Balbastio. The Chief himself was nearly taken, and only escaped in the confusion. Meantime Quesada reinforced the posts on the whole chain of the mountains from Ochagavia to Teraina, the cavalry pushed its reconnoissances as far es &dim, three leagues from Ayerbe, and Colonel Cobra, with 1,200 men, made an incursion on the 24th into the valley of Bastin, into which he had before penetrated, threatening at the same time Yrun and St. Sebastian, where great appre hensions were felt. On the other hand the Junta circulated its Proclamation through the whole couotry on this side of the Ebro, the invasion of which doubtless seemed to them very easy. By this movement Quesada had placed himself between the troops of Tabuenca and those of Guiposcoa, which already observed him, but the rout of the Trappist has without doubt disconcerted his plena, for the troops of Colonel Cobra have fallen back upon Iron, abandoning the valley of Bastin, from which they have carried off arms, ammunition, and provisions. The movements of the bands of the three pro. winces towards Navar►e, sliests that the Defenders of the Faith projected some great blow, but at p►esent they seem all to have returned to their posi tions. No more troops have yet arrived in these provinces to reinforce the Constitutionalists, except the militia of Toro, which was already at Vittoria on the 24th, and 200 horse, which Espenusa brought with him; but it is certain that two bat talions would arrive at Vittoria ou the 96th or tith, and two others at St. Sebastian, coming by sea from Gallicia. The bands and guerillas of the two parties con tinue to desolate Navarre and the three provinces. The following is the Proclamation which has been clandestinely printed at Bayonne, and circulated by the Defenders of Faith, in Spain. " NAVAltaise—The Provisional Junta of Goveraiseitt penetrated with the beroie sentiments that animate you in favour of religion, the King, and the country, exhorts you fur the second lime eagerly to hasten, tarpired by these sublime ideas, to defend the greatest cause that our au. castors were acquainted w tb.

THE BRITISH PRESS. LON DON, THURSDAY, SEPTEIIIIa 5, 1841. A Cabinet Council was held at three o'clock yes terday afternoon at the Foreign Office in Downing street. which was attended by the Loan CHAN cILLOR, the Earl of LIVERPOOL, Earl BATHURST, the Earl of WERTHORLAND, Viscount SIDMOUTH, Viscount MILV,ILLE, the CHANCILLOII of the EiCHEQUER, the Right Hon. B. BATHURST, the Right Hon. F. Rountsow, and Mr. Pm.. The Council broke up at • quarter past four o'clock. After the Council had broken up the LORD CHAN CRLLOR waited upon the KING to communicate the result. It is presumed that the arrangement con sequent upon the death of the Marquis of LO N-. DON DENNY was discussed at this meeting. We have received the Paris Papers of Sunday last, but they are too much occupied with the un interesting details of the pretended Rochelle coil• spiracy to leave room for matters of higher import ance. The Government of France, we doubt not, has, to use a theatrical phrase, got sip this conspi racy by way of prelude to the approaching Con gress of Vienna. A blow is meditsted against po pular rights, but public opinion must still be moth. ed, and a display of the horrors of Carbonarism might be found useful as a justification of harsh measures. It is said that France will be represent ed in the Congress by MM. De CHATRAUBRIAND, De FraaoNNAYs, and DE CARAMAN. A French Ministerial Paper states, that some tumultuous scenes had occurred at Nantes on the 28th of last month, and that the cry of " rive Pia pokon 11. !" was heard. Some persons were ar rested, sod an inquiry was ordered to be instituted. This affair, if judiciously treated, might be made • powerful auxiliary to the Rochelle conspiracy. That this alarming cry was uttered, none can doubt but on enemy to the BOURBONS; and who but a Carbonaro could have committed such an offence? The existence of one Carbonaro in Nantes, so des perate as to atter this exclamation, very naturally implies that there ate many more, and where there are many Carbonati there must be a conspiracy. The ingenuity of plot-makers, French or English, might pursue this train of argument ad iafinitrm, and clearly prove to the perfect satisfaction of all who wished tote deceived, that Nantes, like Ro chelle, possesses its corresponding Committee, act ing in concert with the great central Lodge of Car bonari, which the King's Advocate in Paris assures the world has been for some time established in that city. The allegation of an unknown evil can never be positively disproved, and they who assert it will have attained their object before the alarm excited by the apprehension of some sudden danger can have wholly subsided. Navarre, Armen, and Catalonia, feel the worst effects of a civil war. A rebellion, successful enough in causing misery to the inhabitants of these three provinces is maintained by an o►ganized banditti, under the name of the KING, but at this point their success ceases. ['uppity for Spain the power of the Government is sufficient to restrain and punish the offenders, the army is too vigorous, and the general spirit of the people too well secured in favour of the Constitution to admit the possibility of seeing Spain again cursed by a Government purely despotic. The Bayonne Papers of the 28th of August have arrived at our Office, and announce the com plete overthrow of the rebels under the command of one of their principal leaders, the Trappist, who was proceeding to effect a junction with the other rebel leader, QUasADA, at Tafailla, is Navarre. The Ktices army was cummanded by the Empe cinado, whose name was so familiar to us as a Guerilla Chief during the war of the Peninsula. The rebels lost in killed alone about 200 men, be sides many prisoners. The Chief himself escaped in the confusion. The principal seat of the rebels is Ochagasia, in Navarre, and there have framed what they venture to can " a Provisidoal dovernoient.'b the Pre sident of the Junta is Justin* LACiltItA, and this person occasionally issues proclamations, requiring the people of Spain to take up KRIS for the de livery of their captive King, and the perfict restora tion of his despotic authority. The latest of these manifestoes is of the lfith of August, and is most pompously given " in the Palace of the Govern- Ment at Ochagavis." It might nut be readily Unlighted that this pretended Government, which talks about overturning the Constitution, was yet unable to command a printing ptess in all Spain, but was obliged to have this proclama tion clandestinely printed at Bayonne. The paper is of some Importance, as by way of encou raging the friends to despotism throughout the Pe. • ula, it undertakes to shew them the extent of the power which promises them the eventual success of the enterprise. It begins rather ominously with an excuse for a deception practised in the preceding address, for "the Provisional Government" had pro mised its followers a supply of arms, and now con fesses that it was not provided with the means of ful filling this engagement. " Now, however," says the proclamation, " we have in our power an Osumi. once of arms of all kinds, ammunition, money, clothing, and every thing necessary to triumph over our enemies." But why should the " Defenders of the Faith" be credited now, when we have their own acknowledgment that a similar assertion in the former address was a fabrication ? "We garrison an inexpugnable fort (Ochagavia to wit), and we have 4,000 infantry, with 900 cavalry, who, in their first essays in war, have been the admiration and terror of their enemies 1" These are the heroes who, during the writing of this panegyric, were employed in plundering Balbasiro, and every other place in their line of march, and were in five days afterwards completely routed by the Euripecinado! It is satisfactory to know the utmost extent of the power of the rebels, and from the character for veracity which these Gentlemen give of themselves, we are fully justified io believing that they have very much exaggerated their strength. With an equal spirit of falsehood the " Defend ers of the Faith" assure the people of Navarre that the Constitutionalists have destroyed religion and disclaimed their God, and that their cry is " Down wills Religion ! the Devil for ever !" It is not easy to say whether we should most ad mire the extraordinary impudence of this false hood, or the degree of brutalised ignorance which the Junta of "the Faith" must presume to exist in the simple Naverrese. The writers of the Ma nifesto are probably monks, and they can pretty well estimate the mental powers of the people whom they address; but if they seriously seek to propitiate public opinion in sheir favour, they ought to look beyond the peasants of Navarre, arid recollect that these addresses are read by supe rior classes of persons, who must be disgusted by their shameless falsehoods. We doubt whe ther even the Emperor of AUSTRIA would believe this assertion, albeit well disposed as he is to credit any thing against the enemies of despotism and the profane reformers of the abuses of the church. It will be seen in au advertisement in front of our Paper that the City of London Committee for the Relief of the Distress in Ireland approach the end of their meritorious labours. They will retire with the satisfaction of having succeeded in their benign and generous purpose, with the grati. tude of the country which they have served, and the esteem of all good men. The Duke of WELLINGTON will probably set off fur Vienna on Friday or Saturday. Lord CLAN WILLIAM will be his Grace's Secretary, and alit set off this evening or to-morrow morning.

At present it is dispatched at nine p.m., a little before, or just about the time the London mail reaches Edinburgh.
