Sir GEOltGe COCIOSURN has been employed pre eisely one year in conveying BUONAPAItTE to St: Helena, and permanently establishing a system of regulations for his safe custody there during the term of his future life—it was on Thursday, Aug. 3, last year, that Sir Geottoa sailed front St. Helen's in the Northumberland. The Zephyr and Icarus were to leave the St. Helena station upon the arrival out of the Falmouth and 'Griffon. ICONAPArtiII baa lately been seldoM visited"by Otir Officers. The state etiquette which is kept uP at his residence (the observance of which must precede all interviews), not only 'pre= yenta obtrusive visitors, but shuts out all who. Nye no taste for such burdensome forms.— Raving, it would appear,' no further hope of ef-- feeting any alteration its - his present condition, be is, from the necessity of thicase, habituating him self to conform to the life of a State Prisoner. Mr. WmtneN,the surgeon of the Northumberland, took a parting leave of him, when he took the buckles front his knees and presented them to him ; to an other officer he gave a lock of his hair! The Leve ret ,Capt.Th ett n, was employed cruising to leeward, and the Julia, Capt. Lewis, to windward of the island. The Newcastle, Sir I'.

TER, of the Racoon the latter was under orders for the Isle of France. The l'i.reton, Capt. STAN rata., was at the Cape. We baye been favoured with the perusal of a letter from Croisic, dated July 18, which contains the important information that the French Go vernment has given orders that English vessels 'ink. over 30 tons burthen, will be , allowed in futur e to load with salt. The writer (M. FRO.. cikß) advises that vessels of from 34 to 36 tons, British measure, should be sent. The salt is now at 48 f. themuid, free on board, but is expected to rise should the rainy weather continue. A letter from Copenhagen, of July 20th, says - • " Acco r di ng to an account pu blib e d b y t h e over seers of St. Peter's church, the Committee ap 7 pointed i n L on d on, un d er Mr. WtuitatFauFa, bad received towards the repair of the damage clone to that church by the bombardment io 1807 ° IdY the sum of 961, up to the 28th of June this year; which is a complete refutation of the re ores of the great sums to he expected from Eng ;and for that purpose, and which some papers Lave even fixed at 6,5001. sterling." We are glad to lee a proof of so much Sense anti so little fana ticism as this paragraph affords. A fine tithe this, truly, to be sending six thousand five hundred Pounds to build churches in Denmark, when there are so many of our poor famishing at home.'

The execution of the ' * tree • - ter - etches, "Pleignier, • Tolleron end Carbonuenu, which took place on Saturday, +iYOS as horrible et . . • - scene as could he witnessed ; it 'gave n very ifnate idea of wittit the rabble of Paris Wert dui-- . • trtg the atrocities of the revolution. It V. , as not `till between eight and ninein the evening that the • . `convicts Were brought to place of execution.- Thestreets were crowded with fiersons, who waited . • with undiigtused impatience den ing the whole day. neckshmally crying Vire le Rai! Viberities :4ourbons along the streets. Judging by the multitnde, who spent the whole day in this manner . , one would (conclude that the lower tresses of the Parisians are warmly, even violently attached to the Royal At length the cortege appeared . coming along the bridge from the Palais de Justice : shouts cif " Vive le Roi!" were redoubled on its appear inee; but this spirit was carried to the most sh6cking extreme ; it 'was with difficulty that the fens-d'armes could presient a furious rabble, whO kept pace with them on each side, from , going up to the wretches, sib° appeared, half dead, upon the carts, for the Purpose of 'shooting in their ears their crime and their actual condition.. At length' th e y' arrived at the 'place of execution. I saw the hand of the first person cut off : he took off his coat, waistcoat, cravat, and hat, with6ut any violence on the part of the executi oner, who occasionally assisted hint ; Jlie convict then nre 7 sented his arm bare, and, after a'few SeCand - s, put it into the fatal machine—the ake descended, and in an instant the hand was cut off at the wrist, , This was followed by terrific shouts from the .crowd. A short time was allowed to elapse. and the wretch was decapi:ated. The other two suffered pre cisely in the same way. Pleiguier, it said, made some feeble straggles. 'continued on the spot, but was so horror-struck by the first seene, that I was unable td look at what followed. The spectacle ut a man shot or hanged is not • so ap palling as o,ot :of the guillotine, paraCultirly in this instance, • where the right had of each WAS cut off previous to his- execution. That punish ment had hitherto been in fl icted only upon per sons sonsconvicted of pat rieide ;• it was probably very wise to give an example to the rabble ;if Paris, and nothing but an example the most rcrtible could have any effect upon them. But even'those who had the best wishes for the Royal (government, h a ve been shucked ,and terrified at the inbotnan extdration of the 'crowd, at every stage of the execution. A multitude capable of shouting over a wretch convicted of the most grievous crime, at . the moment when be was suffering death in its Most terrific form, is a dangerous source of cow-, Hence or support. It must be remembered', at the same time, that such a scene, whilst it graces the national character of the French, can not fail to strike terror into the disaffected part of the rabble, from whom alone any attempt lo dis turb the public tranquillity is apprehended., The lower classes, from the high priCe of all the necessaries of life, and the want of employ. went, are in a state of extreme distresi, and establishments for the distribution of relief to the poor, called bureaux de bienfuisance, have been made in the several quarters of Paris, Over • these the clergy have a considerable contrast, the consequence of which is, the adoption of a. regulation to grant no relief to any applicant who is not provided with a certificate at 'having per formed the ditty of confessions. It may be very laudable in the Catholic Clergy to 'attempt the .restoration of their religion among the Parisians, but this regulation has not by any means such tendency ; its only effect is to deprive s t o: SCielltiOOS dissenters from Catholicism of l b* relief which they would otherwise obtain, whilst those who look with indifferencenpon all religions., 'and 'upon the Catholic religion in particular, as a mere mockery, will, not hesitate to make a die. erect 'confession of their transgressions to a prieSt, for the purpose of obtaining the necessary qualification. It presses with peculiar hardship upon the Jews, who are very numerous in the quarter of Paris which is chiefly inhabited by the poor. 1 have been informed that a few of theta have cot off their beards and confessed ; their con version is not likely to last long. The weather still continues very. bad; if the rains should continue pinch longer) the harvest will he ruined. The greatest anxiety prevails upon the subject. - The Staff of the Duke of Wellington, .or at least part of it, is returned to Paris, and stationed in his Grace's palace, the Elyste Bourboo.
