Roger, by M. Marchand, for- • _ _ inerly editor of the Patriot of Alsace, From Poitiers we learn, of the date of Sept. 4, that it is no longer doubted that Col. Mix has been suddenly seized with mental alienation,and on the following occasion : Mad. Aliz, who is at Poitiers, goes every day to visit him, and by a piece of forgetfulness on the part of the gaoler, was with him when the carriage arrived to conduct the prisoners to the Court. Col. Alix was called, and went down, but his young daughter threw herself about him, accompanied him down stairs, and exclaimed as he mounted in the carriage, " Oh, my father ! what a wretched carriage—where are you going ? You had better stay with us. These innocent accents went to his heart, a flood of tenderness overpowered his mind in a moment, and he has not since recovered his reason. Nevertheless he was conducted into Court— his wandering eyes are the only sign he has yet given of his miserable state ; but it may be every moment feared that he will disturb the proceed ings of the Court in a manner which will produce different effects on the persons who are present. Every morning the infantry who are to mono:. guard at the prison, and at the Palais de Justice, are made to load their arms in the public square. A third duel has taken place with the law student who had previously wounded an Officer of Dragoons. The young man was wounded in the neck, but the wound is not dangerous. The Courier du Bus Rhin contains the follow ing article :-- 6 . L.Frankfort, Aug. 28.—A report prevails on " our Exchange, that a courier has brought Intel " ligence that a part of the Austrian troops in " Italy had received orders to march, and that 4 6 they were destined to traverse the South of 44 France, and reinforce the Sanitary Cordon of " the Pvrenees. This news caused an immediate " fall in the public funds. The Journal de Frankfort says nothing of this report ; our.correspondents also say nothing of it, and we therefore regard this news of the Courier da Das Rhin as having been fabricated.—(Consti baionnel.) A Journal of this day contains a letter from a Chef de Bataillon commanding a company of the Voltigeurs of the Royal Guard, the object of - which is to open a subscription for the mother of SIT Officer of the Spanish Guard recently executed at Madrid. It is proposed to secure to this un happy mother the pension which she received from her son. The surplus of the subscription will serve, it is added, to support the Spanish Officers who are the victims of their devotion, rind will give them the means of rejoining the Army of the Faith. The letter concludes thus.—" I profit by the present occasion of being the interpreter of the sentiments of all my comrades, to inform the Officers of the Spanish Guards, that they may present themselves to our regiments, that they will he welcomed like brothers, and receive all the assistance it is in our power to give them. May we soon be in a situation to share their glory and their dangers, in assisting them to deliver Spain from the monsters who govern it."—(lbid.) This night, after pronouncing the sentence of the COEirt of Assize of Paris, Monsieur, the President, informed the condemned, that they had three days to consider whether they would appeal. After which Dories said, "Mr. President, after the impartiality which you have shewn in your summing up, as well as in the 'course of the proceedings, we take the liberty of requesting that we (the condemned) may not be separated. Let us be placed in dungeons (des Cachets) if necessary, but let us not be loaded with irons." As the Bens (Vannes were conducting the prisoners from the Court, Buries .saluted several ~)f the advocate who were engaged in his case, and exclaimed, "We are innocent! France will judge us t" We learn from Poitiers that the number of strangers who flock to that town is very consi derable, and that there are even to he remarked some suspicious countenances. M. de Roche plate, son of the deputy of that name, a lieuten ant in the regiment of Carabineers, has been slightly wounded by a liberal, but he has been revenged by an officer of dragoons, who has in his turn desperately wounded four individuals, who are said to be law students.—(La Quo tidienne.) PAtus, SEPT. 7.—We find the following news detailed in the .Spcctaleur Oriental :-- We have seen a private' letter, to which we give full credit, in which it is positively stated that 'Napoli de Romania has capitulated ; that she had opened her gates to the Greeks, who had immediately furnished it with abundance of provision, and that it subsequently fell into the power of the Turks, who had closed the gates of the town, and rendered themselves masters of the few Greeks who had remained in it. The Turkish squadron,consistina, of one hundred vessels of war of different sizes ; have shaped their course within a few days for the Alorea.—(Jour nal des Debats.) _ _ _ A work entitled, " An Historical Relation of the Events which have taken place at Colmar, and in the surrounding Towns and Communes, on the 2d and 3d of July, 1821, published by M. Kcechlin, Deputy from the Upper'lthine," gives rise at present to judicial proceedings. A Com mission of Inquiry has just been addressed by one of the Judges of Instruction of the Tribunal of the Seine, to the Judge of Instruction at Colmar, for the purpose of issuing a warrant of citation against M. Kcechlin, in order to interrogate him relative to this publica tion.—(Journal des llamas.) COURT OF ASSIZES OF. POITIERS. SITTING OF SEPT,'S._ The Court was very crowded to hear the Procureur-General, whose speech occupied the whole day. The PROCUREUIt-GENERAL began by dilating on the goodness of the government of the King, and the enormity of the conspirators. I-1 e observed, that conspiracies had been or ganized at Nantes, Brest, Saumur, and Befort; of which none but that at Saumur had been carried into complete effect. He contended that the seizure of the Gend'arnies at Thouars, the marching in and summoning Saumur, were sufficient proofs of the war levied against the King's authority, and of the design to subvert the government. After recapitulating the known facts, he continued—" Gentlemen, is this conspiracy merely the work of Berton and his principal accomplices; is it on their conceptions that it has been contrived—or rather, are the events of Thouars and Saumur the result of a vaster plot ? Berton and his accomplices are the agents of more powerful conspira tors, who conceal themselves. • When Berton, on the 13th of January, addressed the Baron Rapatel, he did not dissemble that the purpose was to overthrow the Government. Such a speech from the mouth of a 'Marechal de Camp, a contributor to the Minerve, and addressed to a Colonel commanding a Re. giment, would sufficiently attest that this Marechal de Camp was the agent of a faction, even if other facts did not support this truth. But it is proved by judicial documents, that at the time when Berton entered into this explanation at St. Malo conspiracies were carried on at Saumur, Nantes, and Brest ; that attempts at seduction were made on the Regiment of Hussars of the North, and on the 45th Regiment of Infantry in garrison at Rochelle, and on other Regiments in garrison at Strasburgh ; in fine, that a great conspiracy had been con trived against the State, which was to operate by several partial conspiracies. " But who could have so well- instructed Berton, if all these conspiracies did not proceed from the same source—if all these movements were not submitted to a single and uniform impul sion ? Besides, Gentlemen, Berton would not have been mad enough to have proposed to march on St. Maloes, and then to get possession of Thouars and Samur, if he had not been sure that these movements would have been seconded, and that a stronger power would have sheltered him from the vengeance of the law. Whatever trust a conspirator may have in his own strength, whatever levity we attribute to him, unless he was struck with absolute madness, we must suppose that Berton, with the means he had, or even with greater ones, would never have thought of establishing at Thouars his de facto govern ment, and of marching on Saumur, unless he had reason to be lieve that he could maintain his sad and ignominious conquest. Thus lie declared at Heureux that the movement was general : thus he told Madame de la Ville-Vauge that measures had been taken, and the secret perfectly kept. Lastly, Berton has himself declared to you that he was the agent of the Knights of Liberty, and that this was a most powerful faction. " What, Gentlemen, are these Knights of Liberty, who in all the conspiracies discovered hitherto, have been agents of the faction that would subvert the Government ? The Knights of Liberty are a secret society, whose object is to annihilate the aristocratic principle which forms one of the springs of our Government ; their existence is a war declared against old families and great proprietors by new men, and those who have nothing." - After describing the statutes of the society, the Procureur General calls to mind that Berton, speaking of the provisional govornnient, named Lafayette, Lafitte, B. Constant, Voyer d'Argenson ; that Ledein named Lafayette, B. Constant and Fov ; that the names of Lafayette, B. Constant, Foy, Manuel and Lafitte were mentioned to Wolfel when they wanted to corrupt him, that he might seduce the carbineers of Monseur. Who were to take command of the armies according to what Delon said to Mairet ? Generals Lafayette and Foy. What names are mentioned in all conspiracies? The same names? But is it only by their speeches that these men are-indebted for having their names invoked in all conspiracies or are they voluntary accomplices of these crimes ?' Undoubtedly, men who from the Tribune appeal to the energy of the nation, to insurrection, to popular rage ; men who in the face of France cry that she has received with repugnance the family of her Kings. These men are exposed, however innocent their intentions, to see malefactors aria themselves with their names to commit the most execrable crimes. The PROCUREU n-GENTERAT. proceeded in nearly the same strain, and observed that it was after the appearance of M. B. Constant at Saumur, that the plot was atranged. He also argued that, notwithstanding the recent declarations of Baudrier to the contrary, he had seen M. Lafayette. After having observed that Berton was in correspondence with the persons who were pointed out as the heads of the Provisional Government, the Procureur. General said " If the Throne had been overturned, Great God ! into what hands would the power have fallen ?" The PROCUREUR-GENERAL concluded in a style of un disguised invective against the Members of the Chamber of Deputies whom he had named. Scmr,rN, AUG. 2.—Ati• English frigate has en tered into the port of Salonica, for the purpose of informing the inhabitants that forty Greek ves sels of war were approaching for the purpose of bombarding it. Travellers who arrive from Larissa state, that Mehemet, the Bey of Castori, a man equally re spected by Christians and by Turks, has been made prisoner by the Greeks. The Bishop of Cas tori has given strong testimony of Mehemet's gene rous conduct towards the Christians placed under his authority, and he is about to be set at liberty npon paying a reasonable ransom.—(Gazette d'Aagsbvurg.) CORFU, AUG. 3.—The darkness with which the recent events in Thessaly and Liyadia were covered by vague reports begins to 'disappear.— The Seraskier, Chourschid, setting out from Jan mina with only 2,000 men, collected at Larissa all the reinforcements which had been sent from the borders of the Danube and marched to Zeit toni, at the head of nearly 40,000 men. When he arrived at this town he detached 12,000 men, under the command of his Kihiya, recently no minated Paella of the Morea, towards -Neo pa tra. Chourschid, who advanced -at the head of 25,000 men, was completely defeated and escap ed with a small number of men; but the troops commanded by his Kihaya, penetrated across the mountains by a path little used, and therefore not guarded. They arrived towards the middle of July at Salona; from whence they intended to pass into the Peloponnesus. Fourteen Austrian vessels, which had been lying in the Gulf of Lepanto for some time, to carry the Turks across, conveyed them to Vasilica. At first the Turks directed their march towards Co rinth ; but being repulsed by the fire of the cidadel, they took the road to Napoli de Romania. I n the mean time Mauromichale and Coloco trone, after uniting their forces, marched against the enemy, whom they encountered near Argos. The Turks were defeated - and pursued to saint George, a town situated between Mount Poly phegus and Anelepsia. In this long retreat, of six leagues, the Turks lost 350 horses, the greater part of their baggage, and the half of their men; the remainder are blockaded in Saint George.— In Eperius the Turks experienced a considerable check on the the 27th of July, before Panari, on which they had made an attack. CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 10.—The birth of a third son to the Sultan was this day announced by a discharge of artillery. , A new naval expedition is fitting out with great activity. A II is quiet here, but the plague has manifested itself in the suburbs, and twenty six individuals have been removed to the lazaretto. The recall of Chourschid Pacha from the com mand in Thessaly is the subject of conversation. AIX-LA-CIIA PELLE, SEPT. 2.—The different societies formed in Germany in favour of the Greeks are actively engaged in promoting the object of their institution. They are now occu pied in enrolling several corps d'armee, who will successively embark for Greece. This organi zation will be made by companies of 100 men each, who- will - immediately proceed to the nearest port. They will consist of artillery and light infanty, and those only will be enlisted who have already served. As soon as the first corps is raised, it will be placed under the command of Cepholas, of Olypia, a Greek, who formerly served in Ger many. As has been before announced, all the levies will receive their definitive organization in Switzerland. They will be marched in detach ments and without arms to the place of their embarkation, and arms will be forwarded in waggons to the appointed port. VIENNA, AUG. 27.—According to accounts from Trieste, of the 19th inst., an Austrian ship had arrived there on that day from Smyrna, which on the 31st of July, fell in, near Patras, with the Turkish fleet, which quitted its station off Tenedos, about the middle of last month (see the Austrian Observer, No. 228, of lfith August). The fleet consisted of about 80 sail, amongst which there were twelve sail of the line and frigates.—(Austrian Observer, Aug. 27.) In the same number of the Austrian Observer there is an ex tremely long article (nearly eight columns) on the affairs of Portugal and Brazil. It gives an unfavourable picture of the state of affairs in Portugal, passes in review the measures pro posed in the Cortes to prevent the entire loss of Brazil, dwells on the inadequacy and absurdity of the plan proposed by the Committee specially appointed for the purpose, and observes on the " pride and arrogance of the predominantparty in the Cortes, which will not allow them to consider of any conciliatory mea sures by which the breach that is so much dreaded might, per haps, be arrested or rendered less prejudicial." Towards the conclusion of this article, is the following pas sage : " The writers in the English Opposition Journals, frequently speak with much satisfaction of the profbund tranquillity pre vailing in Portugal, and declare it to be an irrefragable proof of general content with the present order of things. It might be difficult for them to find any trace of what they call content, in any class (not excepting the party which for the moment prevails), in any condition, in any family, in Portugal ; but the tranquillity which we have, in fact, lately enjoyed, is the fruit of unconditional submission to a fate voluntarily brought on ourselves, and which, however burthensome it is, or may become, cannot be averted by ordinary means. The King, for reasons winch nobody is called upon to fathom, has car ried this principle of resignation to the utmost limit of human patience and self-denial: the nation had nothing left but to follow his example. The Revolution must be borne, though the time is passed when people thought it might be loved ; for that it has produced any advantage to the country is considered as a fable even by the few who are compelled to say so. The all-powerful and Supreme Cortes understand the work of de struction as well as the artisans of revolution ; but they seemed disposed to leave to future generations the business of building up again.—Without curing any of the old diseases (and Portu gal certainly laboured under many), their desperate remedies have produced new ones that penetrate to the very vitals. The ruin of the great families has not enriched those below them, but with the stagnation of agriculture and the want of work, produced provety in all. Trade has declined on all sides ; the sources of the revenue dry up ; the national debt has increased since the 24th of August; 1820, by ton millions of crusadoes (about a million sterling) ; all intercourse with foreign coun tries is diminishing, even the most important, that with England, is threatened with manifold dangers. The foreign possessions, which have been long the main source of national prosperity, are exposed to the attempts of the first adventurer who shall raise his standard in them ; and the only great result of two year's promises and hopes has been the defection of Brazil. If such is our present situation, is the prospect of the future cal culated to inspire satifaction ? But the future is involved in dark and threatening clouds. The Cortes have provided that the pre sent Constitution shall appear equally doubtful to its friends and its enemies. There have formerly been dreams of Republican Monarchies—of republics with monarchical forms—of pyra mids, having for their board base the power of people, and for their summit the Royal Crown. But when, as is here the case, the pyramid is reversed, and the whole weight of an elec tive Oligarchy is placed above the Royal power, pressed below and confined to a narrow compass, how shall so unnatural an edifice stand In fact, a conviction is universally prevalent that it will fall to pieces at the very first shock ; and that even on the most favourable supposition, it will not outlive for a single day the fall of the neighbouring edifice (the melancholy archetype of ours), which similar want of proportion irrevo cably condemns to similar ruin ; and from this conviction there I arises a general sentiment of insecurity, of desponding and ap prehension, which is pourtrayed in every countenance, and purposely or involuntarily pervades every conversation. If these are symptoms of content, the London Opposition Jour nals have truly painted the state of public opinion in Portugal." Zueticn, Aua. 26.—The Committee appointed to consider the commercial intercourse of Switzerland with all other coun tries, has presented two Reports to the Diet, one by Senator Hirzel, in the name of the Majority ; the other by M. Brawn, who alone forms the Minority. - The first recommends a limitation of the free trade with those countries which adopt the prohibitory system, and proposes a Tariff of import duties on produce and manufactures. The other Report is diametrically opposed to this project, which it counsels to reject as ruinous in its consequences. The Diet has referred the matter back to the Committee, and desired to re-consider the matter, and present a new Re port.---(Frankfort Papers, Sept. 2.) NUREMBERG, A u G. io,—We learn from Berlin, that within these four or five weeks, the prices of raw silk have risen 50 per cent. because the crop has turned out indifferent, and the small stock in hand has been bought up by Italian mercantile houses, so that a further rise way be expected.— Thus a considerable advance on the prize of silk goods seems inevitable.—( Nuremberg Correspondent, Aug. 3 31. ) HAMIIURGH, SEPT. 3.—lt is confirmed, that all secret so cieties, including even the Freemasons, arc prohibited in Rus isnia,wnhoicthbythaencal are explained at length. o m s p os er o i f al a l l l s ka p s r e o , hi b b u it t io b o y a Ministerial Rescript, that every person in office must appear before his superio rs, to de clare that he withdraws place.

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 5. _-w e find the following passage in the Conservateur Impartial, of St. Petersburgh, of the 17th Aug : " The preservation of peace is now con sidered as beyond all I' 1 doubt; the resolution taken by the Russian Cabinet rests on such a solid foundation, that if the evacuation of the two prin cipalities should still be delayed, from some cause which is not foreseen, Russia would nevertheless remain immovable in its determination. The opening of the Congress is fixed for the month of September. It will turn its attention not only to the affairs of the East, but also to those of the States of the West. Never was there a more important or a more delicate subject of discussion." A letter from Paris says, that the Order of Malta intends to renew its application -to the Sovereigns who are going to as semble at the Congress of Verona, in order to obtain its re establishment as an independent Power. WARSAW, Alin. 20.--We every moment expect the Em peror of Russia. Part of his equipages arrived here yesterday. FRANRFORT, A no. 31.—Count Pozzi di Borgo, Ambas sador from Russia to the Court of France, arrived here yester day from Paris. Baron Mollieris, Minister Plenipotentiary from the King of the Netherlands to the Court of Bavaria, has also arrived here. ITA I.Y. [EXTRACTS OF PRIVATE LETTERS.] " Como, AUGUST 23, 1822.—That delightful seat, the residence of the late Queen CAROLINE, on the Lake of Como, has been lately purchased by M. MARIETTI, banker at Milan, for the sum of one million two hundred thousand francs.— The improvements which her Majesty had made on the estate during her residence is estimated at six thousand pounds. Since her Majesty's re treat, t.Ather BLRGAMI nor any of his family have since appeared ; he and his family are here held in the greatest detestation by the inha bitants." " N ILAN, AUGUST 26.—The fashionable season here has just commenced ; the opera opened for the first time this season on Saturday night, and was attended by the major part of the most dis tinguished personages in this city. The Opera itself was one of the worst performances I ever witnessed. There was not a character that seemed to possess any degree of talent or merit, bnt the ballet was one of the best, and fully compensated for the incompetency of the per formers of the Opera. In order to give you an idea of the number of distinguished personages resident here at present, there were yesterday afternoon on the Rursal, upwards of two thousand carriages promenading. BONAPA RTE embellished this city very much ; the elegant entrance and other magnificent buildings which he caused to be executed, will be standing monuments to his memory." FOR THE SUN. MR. EDlTOR— Obse rv ing an article in your excellent Paper upon the additional reductions in the public Departments, I have taken the liberty of addressing you upon the subject, thank ing you at the same time for the kind and con siderate notice which you have taken of the pe culiar hardness of the case. When economy is practised, it requires a strict and impartial eye to discover upon whom the necessary retrenchment should fall. To strike at these measures blindly and without consideration is only extending the evil, without affording an adequate relief to any part of the community. I shall, therefore, touch upon a case that is a glaring instance of what I have said. Besides the stoppage of all future gratuity, and a partial reduction in their present salaries, the gentlemen of the various offices have another serious cause of complaint, which is that of the " superannua tion fund." it appears from incontestible proofs, that a certain per centage is deducted from their salaries to establish this fund. Therefore, if a clerk, incapable of fullfilling the active duties of his station—is allowed a retirement for the re mainder of his days,—it is not by the public, whose faithful servant he has been, but from the fund to which he has subscribed perhaps for a period of fifty years !—Upon the same rule, a club of Carpenters, Shoemakers, or any other mechanics (artists, I beg their pardon) might equally style the produce of their own savings an annuity from Government.---The superannua tion fund is in fact no better than a " savings bank" of the Government Clerks. How, therefore, can the public be said to have justly rewarded their own servants ? A clerk seeks his retired allow ance from a fund to which he has subscribed ! A clerk with 2001. per annum as a salary pays 5 per cent. towards this banking establishment ; and should a war break out another 10 per cent. will be levyed in addition! Thus, by one method and another, 15 per cent. may be deducted from the helpless servant ! We may therefore have reason to suppose, should warfare take place, that roguery and bribery will flourish amain ; and indeed, from my own personal knowledge, there are several gentlemen whose interest will bring them in again to office, and who have ex plicitly declared " that as no faith can be attached to promises of reward, they are resolved to repay themselves."—And this I know can be done, and 'has been done ; nor can it be remedied, as confidence must be placed somewhere—and which, no doubt, will be abused. It was, therefore, impolitic and wrongly judged to adopt the system of retrenchment upon so narrow a scale, for the whole annual amount of what has been thus saved cannot be more than 50,0001. This is no relief to the country, though it pinches tightly the individuals upon whom it has fallen. Let us hope that the harshness of this decree may be re-considered, and the usual indulgencies once more be awarded to those de serving and meritorious gentlemen, the greater part of whom have seen out their best days in the public service, and who would be incapable of following any profession if discharged from office. AN OLD CLERK. GITMALTAR 7 AUG. 17.—1 t was officially known I at Cadiz on the 14th inst.. that the largest body of rebels remai►►ing in the Ronda mountains at the date of the latest despatch frem Commandant lir reiztieta (the 9th,) did not exceed 20 men, and that they were flying towards Jubrique and Genaguacil. Those in Benajoan had likewise fled at the ap proach of some of the Government troops; but the parson and the alcalde of the town had been ar rested by the officer commanding, for attempting to deceive him respecting the place where the factious were to be found. Zaldivar entered Paterna with about 25 men, on the night of the 13th, and carried off the alcalde and the Secre tary of the Town Council: he was to march out on the 14th, with a design to prevent the flames of insurrection spreading from the mountains to their province.
