The Author in his Prefect ob settee., With respect to passing events in HpAin, they are probably move fail of inters* ID Europe now than at any former period : it is impossible any linger to tuistonceive the real nature of the itruggle, or to deny that the people oho were slaves, little more then two years ngo, are now the advanced guard of civilization." The joaliee of this ob nervation must he manifest to even the most super ficial observer of the state of Europe. None, there fore, can find fault with the Author's selection of lice subject. and he lius executed the work in a manner not unworthy of it. It contains mach and various information entirely new to the public. The following is his account of I ~ e lust moments of the unfortsnate Patriot Coe! . , Pnrhcr, who was sen tenced to death on a charge uf exciting insurrection against the Gorernmettl : " The Aerobes* sod divinity sheen by Porker, from the moment of his serest to the hour of execution, cannot be too meek admired, particularly when we reflect on the excessive fatigue and anxiety attendant nes his exertions between the Ifith and 22d, net to mention the dissipated state of his health 'newtons to the rising His declarations were deliver ed with the utmost perspicuity and calmness.. That his eba. rseteristic strength of mind did not fail him even to the last, is proved by a circenistaace which took place the day before his execution. When the Fiscal came to that part of the "Potence where the word traitor occurred, the countenance of Poetic, became suddenly Gushed, and darting a look of fire at Miramon, he exclaimed, ' Traidor! dipa ailed, el war fts! ',ridden de la ',atria r• " Though the condemned hero had sufficient fortitude to spare his wife and himself the agoniag pangs of a Seri me paration, he wrote to her frequently dining the trial, and twice on the day before his lion. These letters were such as might be expected from one who felt much more re. Bret on becuent of a woman, to whom he was tenderly attach ed, than for his owe fate. He called span her to recollect how often his life had been already exposed in the service of his country, Mid that it wsa now shoat to be sscrificed in the same cause. Alluding to the mode of his death, he observed, that, however terrific to a guilty mind, it was glories, to him, since be suffered fur the sake of Spain ! Conducted to the chapel in which it is customary for those condemned for death to pass the three days grace allowed, previous to their execsliwo, at seems o'clock in the evening of the td, Pother dictated his will to a notary, who attended for this purpose, sod gave dying injnoctions with as mach composure, as if they load related to the most ordinary eoacerua of life. Having bequeathed whatever he bad to leave to his wife, Dona Josef' Queipo de Llano, daughter of the House of Toreno, and named several individuals towboat he wesdesi roue of being affectiouately remembered, he addressed the notary in the following words: ' I also enjoin, that, wires circumstasesk permit, my ashes may he removed from the spot they are laid when I am dead, to one mote agreeable to my wife, and being deposited in a &alit cenotaph, she will cause the following inscription to be engraved OD it, together with my ate end day of my death:— " Witbiu are cootanied the remains of Juan Diet Punier, formerly a General in the armies of Spain. He was always successful in whatever he undertook against the external *emirs of his country,assi died a victim to eivildissentions : men alive to glory! respect the ashes of au unfortunate patriot !* 0 This act performed, he signed with an uutrembling hand, and directed that the attested copy, and the key of the coffin coalmine( his body, should be presented to bus wife as won after the fatal hour as her frame of mind would beer such an °Weds,. o The remainder of the night was passed in ntedttation and prayer : alike a stranger to that bigotry and super s n which has been at once the curse sod scourge of Spain, the prayers of Psalter were those of a man who had conformed to the tenets of Christianity rather by acts of virtue and beer volesce than exploded rites and idle ceremonies. Endowed with the most estimable qualities of the head and heart, this martyr to liberty could luck back on his past life with com plseepcy, mid towards the future with cuafidence. A friend of mist who resided at Content% and raw the hero safer, de scribes the day of his ItlOPeUtioll stows of general and heart felt sorrow. There was something peculiarly affecting in the last scene of this mournful drama. Impatient to resets the place of execution, Porlier walked mach quicker than in oval on such solemn occasions, and was observed to mount the scaffolding erected ander the gallows with great alacrity. When the final prayer ended, and just before the rope was affixed round his neck, he drew a white handkerchief from his breast, mad holdisg it up to his face as if to absorb a last tear, be consigned it to the pekes, with a request that It might be given to his widow! 0 A part of the troops whom he had but a few days before led rode, We banner of freedom, were coodemned to attend Ilse execution, and thus experienced the double mortification of witnessing the effects of their treason, and an end to all pretest hope of liberty or improvement. " All the former actions of Porher's life correapoesled ex actly with the last days of his earthly career. Though de scended from as ancient family, of which a branch had for a Twig period settled in the Vaimarlee, he was born at Cartha ge's" iu South America, where his father held • high public situation. Brought up under the auspices of his uncle, Antonio Pottier, Marquis de Baxenter, sad Minister of Jos tiee noder Charles IV., he served as a midshipman in the battle of Trafalgar. When, however, the cry of indepes• deuce spread through the Peuittaula in 1808, our hero was somegst the first to obey the tailor his country ; and having joked a reginsest stationed at Valencia, him gallantry and esterprising spirit sere first displayed in the vicinity of that city : as awe is which he defented a body of the enemy's troupe, with a very inferior force, took many prisoners and led them in triumph to the Junta of Astoria', obtained for bins the rank of Colonel. Soon after this event, be formed a Guerilla corps, of which he berme the leader, and distin guished himself is a series of brilliant actions. It was during Potlier's exploits in Asturias that be ac. wired the tick of ill Afarressito, nr little Marquis, a sue. same by which he (motioned to be known ever after. His retreat from Ssetender, closely penned by a corps four times more nwinerous !ham his ens, excited great admiration, and placed the military reputation of Porlier On a level with that of his moat popular competitors'. So highly were Ilk must its mad services appreciated by the Regency, that be was ap pointed Caplate-General of Asturias, where he remained until the reforest( Ferdinand. * Wish respect to the alleged crime for shich Porlier was art off iii the prime of life, if the motives that impelled him to obey the impulse of patriotism and call of his suffering countrymen ale entitled to praise, the modetation with *lnch he conducted the el/unwise is so less worthy uf applause.— Notwithstanding Muse inseinerable causes of irritation and revenge, which bad been operating on the officer' and Doh dirty ever since the return uf Ferdinand, not a single was committed from the begiturimy of the insurrection till its termination, as truly staled to the General's declaratios the arrest of the authorities only bad the effect of preserving them from times insults whisk their adoniuistratien had been bat too well calculated is excite. Su anxious was Pottier that the part taken in the enterprise by his companies, should be spontaueous, that is the course of the deliberations which preceded the defection at °Mimes, be plainly inti mated that those who did not feel consciuss they were 'kl ieg rightly fur the good of their country, had wily to sat so, sad they should be at liberty to depart. "It is no trifling addition ea the merits of this lamented Chief to say that buttery scarcely furnishes en instance of forbeseasee sod souderatios equal to that displayed through out Mk ismurrection. The effects of such rendre' has been mem silatary in all the oubertioeut efforts of the patriots, mad it will apt be lost on poottilly.

ORNITHOLOGY. An mousing number of Guillemot' at this period of the year frrquent the Stark Rocks on the Pronbrokeshirr coast. Dr. Wilkinson, of Bub, bas communicated (be following obtservalions on (how birds:— 14 In the Bristol Channel, about fire miles from Pembroke, riot out of the sea some very precipitous rocks, which is site Welsh, is well as the Gaelic. nredemoininated Starks: " ' By stark and by sketry, by noup and by rue, By air and by wick, and by Helier and gin.' PIRATE. "These rocks have gives the name to Steck poolC.;7i, the seat of Lord Candor, is their vicinity. The base of the Feistiest rock frequented by these birds le, at low water, about fifty yards from the 'bore. The ascent of the rock is very datoseroon, yet it has been occasionally attempted. In the months of July and August these rocks are literally covered with Guillemots, the same specie. of birds which frequent the rocks of St. Kilda, and of the Western Islands. lit Wale, they are provincially known by the name of Elle. cup; and by Fenton, in his History of PorobrokesAtre, have been erroueoully described as Aulks, which are a species of Puffin, or Sea Parrot. The Guillemot bears ne resemblance to the Aulk ; its body is of • dark brows colour, inclining to black, except the tip of sume of the wing feather., which are white; the tail about two inches luny, the ander part of the body white, and the wing very short. These birds appear not capable of flying far, reouir. ing their wines to be constantly wet. 1 have frequently observed them fail in their flight to the top of the rock, being obliged to return to the water to wet their wises. The appearance of these birds ow the rocks must astonish every beholder, hardly a craggy point which is not covered, and the sea, for about the space of half a mile from the rock, is completely darkened wish them. The bird, whew atript of its feathers, on as average weighs fourteen ounces, about the weight of a small duck. The egg is remarkably large; I have eolected some, and the mean di• mensioos are as follow in lengt h . 31 inches ; diameter of the upper part two teethes, and at an inch from the apex 11inch, in shape exactly resembling a large pear, the collier a blueish green, with many black apols, in weight sod size exceeding the egg of • turkey. The egg* are not very ma. pleasant to the taste, yet have a fishy flavour; they are owed by the motives for paddies.* and custards. It appears that the female lays but one egg, and, from notorious peonies OS the rock, constantly Deeds the female's protection during the whole period of incubation. Tbseir which have bees found in situ are so delicately poised on the projecting ruck, that when once removed they cannot be replaced. The female secures the egg by placing one foot on it before she tepees her body, and she never quits it till hatched. During this pewiod of confinement, the male bird has two occupations; one to keep the gulls sad puffins from the rock, and the other to snpply her with fish, which is generally the sprat. The Guillemots are easily shot from the shore, sot requirise she mode adopted by the fowlers of she Hebrides of newsier them with • rod and line. About the latter end of May arw of these birds are observed hovering ahead the rocks for two or three days, as if to examine them, when they 'gala disappear. In the first week of July the rucks are covered with them, and in the last week of August none remain. It could sp . pear that these birds migrate to find inaccessible rocks during the period of incubation, sad, when terminated, the young 01" from their position on the rodeo, fell into the water, and are directed by their parents to their home, which, by many, is 'apposed to be the shores of Holland. This, how. ever, i• merely coajecture, as the course of Otis part of the British Chianti is very circuitous. It is, however, surprising that they have nut bees obsewsted at sea very remote from the rocks. Au idea is entertained by the natives that the Guille mots annually return to the rock on which they weer hatched. 1 do not underaisnd that the birds are used here for the table, as in the Western Islands. The downy feathers are said, when dried, to be equal to those of the Eider Duck." ~1•.... FASMONAD LR MOrRMENTS.

This interesting little theatre opened on Monday evening, under the ososgenient of Mr. BRUNTON. The performances were, The Widow Bewitched. nal aft mat all mow to, sod a rnelo-drarne, ent►tled Pawl and Jwssia, which were repeated het night. In the second piece, which a so abridgment of Three Weeks a f ter Marriage, Misv BRUNTON played Lady /locket with great spirit. There are few who. like Sir Charles, could withstand the united charms of person sod manner, ■nd who " would not love again, though they should he again undone." The chief attraction in the melo.draine was the appearance of the same young lady in the character of Pawl. Mr. BEVERLEY obtained considerable applause as Lubin, a half-witted clown. The theatre has been newly painted and decorated ; the colours are delicate, and hove a light and pleasing effect. The private bases are fitted up with peculiar neatness. The curtain possesses the attraction of novelty ; it is of •cutlet cloth, sod is divided into two parts, which are drawn up on each side of the stage. Some of the scenery is extremely well painted ; a view of the Quadrant in Regent -street, a subject of which all he visitors of the theatre are good judges, at least so far es regards resembloace. wools nothing to com plete in that point. The eirening scene of the melo drame is very pretty. The audience had not to cataplain of any lack of entertainment. for the in tervals between the several pieces were filled up with aingiog and dauciog which were received with ap probation.. We hope Mr. BRUNTON'S exertions will procure him that degree of public patronage which they de serve, and if so, he will be amply rewarded.

Thermion, agrd 75, a gentleman of peat respectability, and possessiug great properly in the neighbourhood of Mary-le-bone, who met his death in coast qoesee of a fatal art committed by himself the day previous. It appeared (rum the evidence of the wife of a person named Strong, that deceased had been for stone time labour iug under mental derangement, but had of Isle been much ►etter. On Friday morning last site came down from de• ceased's room, at bin request, to get him some barley-water, which she brought him. Two hours afterwai ds s►e west into the room again, when she observed the blood Sowing from a wound in the deceased's throat; lie had ■1 the time a knife in his right hand; she wt.* scarcely able to stand she horrid sight ; the deceased died about three hours afterwards. The poor clomp, during her tvideisee, appeared very much affected. lease Strong, the former wilusea husband, corroborated her testimony is stout every point, and said he remained with deceased until he expired, and that She drummed bad nu !easily whatever.

This crest ed a great sensation through the whole Jury room, and every wws was eager to know why be did am say so before ; but as the case had been fully inquired awn, a verdict given, and the Coroner gnu, tbe matter was obliged le test ; however, seven of the Jury thea iu the rosin drew up a resolution soil presented it so the Foreman, going it as their opinion that a fresh In q uest ought to be taken.

This combat excited more general interest than any which ban taken place since Neste brat the Gas-light Man, and thousands were pending upon the issue of it.

The men advanced to each other with lunch caution, and Josh. let loose with his left band upon the Yorkshireman's throat, which reddened it. Bark,. made a return blow upon the body which moved Josh. off his guard, and a rally followed, and some 'Kabuli, of blows, and a separation ensued, when York bled at the nose. Josh. got within his nice distance again, and let loose, left and right. The left was rather a ligin blow to give eters to the strength of the right, which told like a smith's anvil upon the side of the head, and floored York as dean as a shot would to she right mark. He came upon the bard ground with such velocity, that his head hounded from it again like • racket ball, nail he was lifted up seoseless.-3 and 3 to I ass Josh. and the ring very uproarious.

Josh. was administering some revere punishment to this round, whets Belcher in a manly so got between the men, and saved the blows from Barlow, which must have been anions, and Barlow being is the same state of insert ',Willy, Belcher resigned the combat fur him.

Thomas Gook, a parish constable; Jones Har rison, formerly a constable; and jobs t onsell, were indicted for si conspiracy, in falsely charging Thomas Jay with stealing a watch from a paysao unknown, on the King'. highway., en the IS+ of May last, on which charge he was tried and acsjoit. ted at the Old Bailey Sessions. Mr. ALLEY stared the case for the prosecution. He sa.d that Thomas Jay was, on the 15.11 of May last, in the service of his Majesty as,is postilliaia ; that nit the reciting of that day hiadarsly hntionred Drury...blue theatre with Its presence. The WI. vices of Jay were not required on that occasion ; but when his Majesty's c.rrisge passed the King's Mews about seven o'clock, he and some of his fel low -servants followed the carriage to Drury-Noe theatre, opposite which Jay remained with the other domestics of his Majesty until he left the theatre.
