SEPTEMBER 6. The French mail, which should have arrived yesterday morning, has not yet come in. We have learnt that it re mained some time at Burgos, in order to provide the necessary arrangements to enable it to arrive in safety at this capital. The Government, aware of the importance under the present circumstances of a free communication between the capital and the provinces and foreign countries, will not neglect to give the necessary directions for clearing the roads of the robbers who impede the passage of peaceful travellers. By the courier which arrived yesterday evening from Va lencia, we received the following document : " By the officer charged with the duty of the commandant of the eighth military district, " Soldiers !—The ordinary Council of War, assembled on the 27th ult. to try Lieut.-General D. Xavier Elio, for the scandalous conspiracy which he formed on the 30th of May last, in the citadel of this capital, has condemned' him to the punishment of the garrote, after having suffered degradation. The result of the process having been communicated to me, 1 forwarded, it to the Auditor of W ar , a d i n t er i m , i n order that he might furnish his opinion with regard to the conformability of the sentence. ," That Learned Advoc a t e gave it as hi s op i n i on , t h at i t was not only conformable to law, but that it should be carried into effect with all-the promptitude which the law of the 17th' of April, 1821, by which the said General was judged, the public convenience, and the executive orders expedited by his Ma jesty, required. In this state of affairs it became every mo ment more absolutely necessa.; that the Brigadier D. Juan Espino, who was appointed by the ordinance in the succession of .command to the general command of this district, should make his appearance here, and to that effect I undertook to dis patch to him another extraordinary courier, informing him of the necessity of accelerating his march, on account of the pro bable interruption of the public tranquillity. " Peace, however, was in the meantime preserved in spite of the delay which accompanied the approval or disapproval of the sentence ;_ but yesterday the con s tit u ti ona l Ay un t am i ento com municated to me that the public tranquillity was threatened by the exasperation which was observable in almost all classes of the people, who were anxious to see the affair brought to a con clusion, and urged me to be careful that it should suffer no delay which might be productive of a terrible popular com motion. " On receiving this information from a corporation charged with watching over the public tranquillity—finding, on the other hand, that the said Brigadier had not arrived, nor been heard of, and being well aware that in the before-mentioned law of the 17th bf April, it is ordained that the sentences should be immediately executed, I resolved to examine the sentence pro nounced by the Council, and having found it, as well as the opinion which I have already mentioned of the Auditor of War, conformable to.the most rigorous justice, I felt it to be my duty to approve it, and to conform to it, and I gave orders that the punishment of death should be executed in the form pre scribed by the Judges and President who composed the tri bunal; in consequence of which General Elio was this morn. ing placed in Capilla (the chapel of the prison in which a con demned prisoner waits until the time of executing the sentence be notified), in order that he may undergo the punishment due to his horrible crime. " VICENTE 'VALLTERRA. " Valencia, Sept. 3." We understand that notice has been already received at Madrid of this sentence having been executed the day before . yesterday. The correspondence from Catalonia also arrived by the courier from Valencia. The convocation of Extraordinary Cortes is at present the principal object of public expectation, and has already been made of deliberation in the Council of State. It is said the Council, on the application of the Government, has recognised the neces sity of convoking the Cortes in an extraordinary Session, al though there has been some difference of opinion among the members. Fourteen were of opinion that the report present. ed by Government did not offer all the data necessary to en able the Council to come to a resolution, because it did not ap pear to them that Governm en t h a d employed all the extraordi nary resources which were granted by the Cortes of last ses sion; but, though they desired that intbrmation on these points should be presented to the Council, they did not on that account oppose the convocation of the Ccirtes. The remaining 12 councillors were of opinion that it was not only desirable but most urgent that the extraordinary Cortes should be convoked, considering the serious aspect which the affairs of the nation present, and the notorious want of power in the executive de partment: . . . Thus the subject which has occupied the Council may be re duced to these simple questions:—ls Spain now situated in any of those serious and delicate 'circumstances of which the constitution speaks in treating of the convocation :of Extraor dinary Cortes ? Does Government possess the necessary means of raising troops, and furnishing money, in order to meet the necessities of the times ? We do not think there is a Spa niard who cannot answer these questions, and who does not wish that, under the present circumstances, all the public au thorities may concur, each in its own w a y, t o p reserve t h e State from the dangers which threaten it. The Constitution has anticipated the possible existence of cases like the present, and has pointed out the means which should be adopted for the salvation of liberty.—(El Uni vcrsal.) BAYONNE, SEPT. 7.—The Defenders of the Faith continue to intercept the mails, for to-day we have hardly received any letters from Spain beyond Tolosa, because the mails from. Ma drid and Vittoria, with all the correspondence, have been inter cepted ; the two last mails sent from Bayonne have had the same fate, so that unless the Spanish Government adopt some rigorous measures to secure the passage of the couriers in the defiles of Salina and Escarga our communication with Spain will be broken off. The mail from Saragosa coming - through Navarre, and that from Pampeluna, experience the same fate. The merchants of this city are great sufferers by the interrup tion, and are filled with indignation when they consider that it is by order of the Secret Committee of the Defenders of the Faith established at Bayonne, that all these vexatious measures are taken. In consequence of this state of things, we do not even know what is passing in Navarre and the three provinces. There are reports of fresh advantages obtained by the Constitu tional troops, but as we hate no accounts of any kind from either party, we must wait for the next mail; that is, if it should arrive. The defensive preparations in this city con tinue. EAST INDIES. 'We have been favoured with a series of Cal cutta Papers to the Bth March last, f.tom which we make the following extracts : " MADRAS, FEB. 19.—The Glasr - to has brought out orders for the reduction of the squadron in India. By the new ar rangement the Admiral is ordered home, and is to be relieved by Commodore GRANT in a frigate. Only a few brigs will be under his command. The Commodore is not expected to ar rive before May. The Admiral will pursue his plan of pro ceeding to Bombay before he goes home. CommissionerUPT ort is very ill, and is going to England. " The Second Ceylon Regiment -is to be disbanded immedi ately. A terrible fire had broken out at Trincomalee, in which many houses were burnt and many lost. " The ship Catharine came in yesterday from Calcutta. The Henry, PORCHER, has not yet come in ; she was to go into the Cape ; so that she may not arrive for ten days to come.— The Apollo and Belle Alliance will probably be the next ar rivals from London. " The Honourable Company's chartered ship Albion is nearly ready for sea ; but she is waiting for her consort, the Kingston, it having been ordered that the homeward-bound ships this year are to sail in pairs. The latter vessel may be expected every moment, as accounts have been received of her arrival at Mad depollam. ' " The ship General Palmer reached St. Helena, all well, after a run of 10 days from the Cape, on the 22d, and continued her voyage on the 23d of October, intending to reach Portsmouth on the 10th of December, and to start again on the 10th of the following month. " MOHAN.—Accounts from Ellichpore mention the surren der of a fort called Mohan, about 60 miles from that station, on the Hyderbad road. The fort was occupied by a discontented fellow of the district, and a miserable band of 200 followers, whom he had coaxed into his pay, and by whose means he ex pected to resist the Aumil and the other constituted authorities. A battalion of infantry was preparing to march against the place, when it was given up to Sir J. GORDON and a party of horse under his command, who had been previously sent to summon it ; and the principal insurgent is now in safe custody." Yesterday at the meeting of the ToWn Council, it was rep solVed to build a church in Bellevue Crescent. No particular plan has yet been fixed on. We understand that the Magistrates have it in contemplation to extend the pier at Leith to the Martell° Tower. - We also understand, that in consequence of what appeared in our paper of Saturday last, in regard to the prolongation of the Pier of L e ith, th a t su bj ec t has ar rested the attention of the Gentlemen of Leith to such a degree,. as seems to bid fair for an improvement of such vital importance to the port being accomplished at a period very little distant indeed. It will not only do great credit to the town, but may be considered as a national work of vast value.— (Edinburgh Courant, Sept. 12.) The Paris Papers of Thursday• and Friday, Madrid Journals to the 6th inst., and numerous other Continental_ Journals, have arrived since our last, from which we have given extracts in our preceding columns. The trial of General BERTON and his asso ciates is at length concluded. BERTON and five others are condemned to death ; Aux- and 32 others are sentenced to various terms of impri sonment, and to the payment of certain fines ; and two are acquitted. The case of the Editors of the Constitutionnel, the Courier Francais, the Journal du Commerce, and the Pilots, who were accused of infidelity in their reports of the proceedings of the Paris Court of Assize on the late trial of the conspi racy of La Rochelle, was heard and decided on Thursday last by that same Court. The conduct of the Court on this occasion gives but a very unfavourable idea of the administration of jus tice in France. We refer to a letter from Constantinople, among our extracts, by which it will be seen that the statement which we published some time since, that the United States had entered into a treaty with the Government of Greece, is confirmed. Our intelligence from Spain states, that the convocation of the Extraordinary Cortes has been determined upon, the requisite decree signed, and the opening fixed for the 7th of October. The Ministry continues to adopt the most energetic measures for the suppression of the Anti-Consti tutionalists : the militia under arms amounts already to 40,000 men, and in another month it will be augmented to 00,000, composed in a great measure of old soldiers who served in the war of independence against the French troops. General Eta° has been tried by a Court Martial at Valencia, and unanimously condemned to death. The sentence was carried into execution on the 4th instant. FRENCH FUNDS.—SEPT. 13. Five per Cents. for the Opening on the 22d Sept. Opened at Closed at 9l f. c. Exchange on London—One Month 25 f. 45 c. Three Months 25 f. 35 c. A letter from Constantinople, of the 11th of August, confirms the important intelligence_ that a Treaty of Alliance had been formed between the United States of America and the Greeks. In this letter it is stated that the American squa dron in the Mediterranean has been authorized, in case of any general disaster, to save the Gre cian emigrants.—The Americans landed a large quantity of arms and ammunition at Hydra, on the 23d July '; and at the request of the Ameri can Commodore, the brave Greeks, who had destroyed the vessel of the CAPSTAN PACIIA, were presented to him, and received his congratu lations on their skill and bravery. It is' further stated that Lord STRANGFORD, our Minister at Constantinople, had betrayed some uneasiness at the arrangement in favour of the Americans, by which they become entitled to the possession of a station in the Mediterranean, and had sent agents to Tina, Syra, and Melo, to,induce the inhabitants to prefer the protection , of England to that of the United States. It is too late to prevent the Americans from obtaining that ad vantage, to which their wise and beneficent policy, in stretching out the hand of succour to a brave, an oppressed, and a struggling Chris tian people, has so fairly and justly entitled them. The British Government, however, may still secure the lasting gratitude of the Greeks, and the interests of England, by boldly and decisively aiding them to throw off the yoke of their tyrants.—We have always been of opinion, that the best check upon Russia would be the erection of an independent Greek empire upon the ruins of the domination of the Turks.—The desertion of the Greeks by Russia presents a favourable opportunity for a striking manifesta tion of the generosity of England. The following communication was forwarded to the New England Coffee-house this morning, for the information of Merchants interested in the trade : " Consulate of the United States, " London, Sept. 16, 1822. " By a decision of the French Government, under dateof the sth instant, American vessels may enter the ports of France, and remain with their cargoes on board until the Ist October, when the commercial arrangement lately concludzd goes into effect. (Signed) " THOS. ASPINWALL." The Duke of YORK visited the KING on Sa turday. The Duke of 'WELLINGTON and the JUDGE ADVOCATE had audiences of his MAJESTY yes terday. A message from the Admiralty to Portsmouth is conveyed in one minute and a few seconds. The Duke of WELLINTON will this day have an interview with Mr. Secretary CANNING, after which his Grace is expected to set out for Vienna.—The Marquis of ANGLESEY is spoken of as likely to be appointed Governor General of ludia.—( Morning Paper.) The horses and carriages belonging to the KING, which went to Edinburgh, will all arrive at Carlton House in the course of this week. Among the number is the favourite grey charger which the KING purchased at Dalkeith, of the riding-master belonging to the Scotch Greys. Particular orders were g iven that every care should be taken of it. I s MAJESTY rode it at a Review, during his stay in Edinburgh. Friday the Dove pilot-boat arrived at South ampton, with a female passenger, taken out of the American brig Eclipse, of Philadelphia, bound to lia:vre, to land her passengers, and then to return to the Downs, to await the Ist of Oc tober, to land her cargo there, according to the CommerCial Treaty lately concluded between the two countries. Sir %V KNIGHTON has succeeded Sir B. BLOOMFIELD as Private Secretary and Keeper of the Privy Purse. Mr. MARRABLE still retains his place as Clerk of the Privy Purse, and Mr. WATSON assistant Private Secretary. The latter gentlei - nan was many years with the Duke of CUMBERLAND, and has been a good deal abroad. The Red House, lately occupied by Sir B. BLOOM FIELD, is to be got in readiness, it is stated, for the reception of the family of Sir W. KNIGHTON. CARLILE.—The agents of this incorrigible wretch have opened another shop for the sale of his pernicious publications. The house is in Giltspur-street, and the works are sold by a kind of legerdemain, the person who sells them being concealed behind a curtain. Surely the law has power to reach this offence and prevent the diffu sion of sedition,Tebellion and blasphemy I.—Un less some expedient is adopted, there is too much reason to fear that the middling and lower orders of the people will gradually lose all sense of Loyalty and Religion. No other country in Europe would suffer such a deplorable abuse of the invaluable freedom of the Press. THE THEATRE.—The success of the new Opera of Morning, Noon, and Night, at the llaymarket Theatre, has been progressive, and on Saturday attracted a very numerous audience. Much, however, is to be ascribed to the merits of the Performers, among whom LisToN, TERRY, and Miss PATON were of course conspicuous. The opera was followed by the farce of The Liar, and Mr. C. KEMBLE, for the first time, assumed the part of young Wilding. We have often seen the character performed, and it is but justice to this actor to say never with more spirit. In one respect, indeed, he was more critically correct than most of his predecessors, for, instead of at once exerting his inventive powers, as if his nar ratives came from memory, he made such signifi cant yet momentary pauses as obviously indicated that he was hatching. The audience felt this judicious peculiarity, and heartily anticipated his " poetical prose" on every occasion. He received great applause, and confirmed the public opinion that, besides his other merits, he is the best getleral actor of his day. The pretended Mrs. Wilding stated that " she was married to him, and that their names had been placed upon the Church doors." This hit at the New Marriage Act excited a general and continued burst of merriment. The Litckfield Mercury states, that Miss STE PHENS, of vocal celebrity, was married last week, to Mr. THOMAS BROADWOOD, of the firm of BROADWOOD and Co. musical instrument makers. ART OF PR INTlNG.—(Haartcm, Sept. 11.) — The Senate of this city, considering that M. JACOB KoNING, in his " Essay on the Invention of the Art of Printing," for which, in 1816, he received the gold medal of the Academy of Sciences, has not only confirmed by new and very satisfac tory arguments the opinion that the above art was invented in this city by Lawrence Koster, likewise that the invention may be dated from the beginning of the 15th century ; and M. Koning having, in two letters published last year, given it aslhis decided opinion that it may -be fixed in the year 1422, so that the 4th century of the noble invention will happen in this year, the Senate has thought it due to the honour of this city to examine this point as accurately as possible, and in conse quence appointed a Committee to investigate the probable epoch of the discovery ; and if the Committee should agree with M. Koning, to give their opinion how the 400th anniversary may be more pro_perly solemnized.—Th e C omm it tee h as j ust presented a long Report on the first point, stating it to be their opinion that the invention of printing by Lawrence Janszoon Koster may be certainly stated to have taken place between the years 1420 and 1425, and that consequently the celebration of the fourth centenary may properly take place in the year 1823. The Senate in its sitting of this day has approved of the Report of the Committee, and resolved that the celebration shall ac cordingly take place in 182. , FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

James Needham, an elderly Gentle man, dressed in black, with powdered hair, was put to the bar on a charge of feloniously driving over and killing a Mr. John Lloyd, on the even ing of the 12th of August last, in the New-road, near the Regent's-park. The substance of the evidence on the part of the prosecution appeared on the Coroner's Inquest, and was detailed in our paper of the 16th ult. On the part of the prisoner a number of witnesses were called, who severally proved that he endeavoured all in his power to. stop the animal ; and what principally occasioned the horse to become unmanageable was the belly-band being broken,—they aN:o said they did not consider him intoxicated. The prisoner put in a written defence, stating his extreme sorrow for the accident which had occurred, and denied that he was tipsy. Several gentlemen were then called, who gave him a most unexceptionable character for sobriety, honesty, and humanity ; among whom were the Rev. Wm. Draper and Mr. Baker, a Magistrate. The Foreman of the Jury here informed the Learned Judge that they were perfectly satisfied, and would save him the trouble of summing up. Mr. Justice BEST said he would only make a few observa tions, as it was his duty to caution all persons from driving furiously along the roads, and also that the person at the b4r might go out of Court without a blemish or stain upon his, character as he had entered. The Jury instantly most honourably acquitted him. ' , He then retired from the bar in tears. Mr. ADOLPHUS, with Mr. ALLEY, were retained on be. half of the Rev. Gentleman. At the Old Batley, on Saturday, Richard Mil ford, alias Captain Tracy, was convicted of forg ing an indorsement to a Bank Post Bill for 501. Death.—Eliz. Jones and John Morrison, indicted. for the murder of a new born male child, were acquitted.—Abraham Henry, aged 18,for stealing from the person a gold chain and seals, was sen tenced to transportation for life.—Cornelius Read ing and John Boyle were convicted of stealing a silk handkerchief.—William Adams, for stabbing WILLIAM EDWARDS with a pitchfork, at Enfield, on the 3d ult. was found guilty,—Death ;—but was recommended to mercy by the Jury.
