FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.. . PARIS, Auo. 31. We are informed that the Secretary of the T.tiglish Legation in Spain, who,, set Out from • fOr London after the events of the 7th of July, 'has returned with very important dis patches from his Government. There is a report at Madrid that England offered all sorts of suc-. cane,i and even troops, in case the Spaniards should be threatened with a foreign invasion.— (ConslitutionneL) The responsible . Editor of the'Paper called ~ the Echo tie l'Ouest had been condenined to a fine of 5,000 francs and three months' imprison - ment, for infringing the new law on the liberty of -the press. The Royal Court - at Rennes, con vinced that the person condemned (the father of :the Editor) was not the person whom it was in tended to prosecute, annulled the proceedings. The Crown Lawyers having appealed against this decision, the case was tried in the Court of Cassation. This Supreme... Court rejected the appeal. COURT OF ASSIZES OF PARIS. - . • AFFAIR OF ROCHELLE.-SITTING OF THE 30TH. To' 7 day the Court received the depositions of, three new wit . nesses, who came from Rochelle. MM. Berville, Barthe,' ,and Mocquart, the Counsel for the accused Ba `2adire, eattran, Rose, Llenon, and Massias, were successively hearil in defence of their respective clients. We have only ,room for a few of the observations of the . t‘ The accusation has laid down general facts ; it then has endeavoured to show a participation in the plot on the part of the prisoners belonging to Paris and among them it includes my ,client Baradere. Let us examine these pretensions. What is -the-situation of an accuser ?—that of a person who makes a demand. .Every person who does so ought to define that de ,mand, and .the.obligation is strictly imposed upon an accuser ,who pleads.against the preumption of innocence—who claims not money, but human blood, and who, if he gains his cause, does not obtain damages or compensations, but punishment and scaffolds. In conspiracies especially, the accusation can not take its elements of conviction but in the circle of the cause, and in facts perSonal to the accused. In fact, here the corpus delicti is not a material fact certain and fixed in its nature—it is a fugitive thought which must be seized and fixed, and which _cannot be exactly known but in making it personal to the ac eused by the evidence. " Has this course been followed ? What abuse of general facts ! What disproportion between the importance of the ac cusation and the consequence of the accused. It is the soldier, Dicheron, who leads us through all Europe, and even into eireece—it is the serjeant-major, Goupillon, who is called to answer for the excess of civilization ! Among the general • facts there are some of two orders. The first are facts of Car bonarism. They are not the objects of the charge. All those who were accused of pure and simple Carbonarism have been released : but these facts are a kind of train introduced into the cause to frighten your imagination. Let us see how far this fear is well founded. We hear talk of poinards, oaths, and executions. Oh ! if I had to prosecute a free mason-lodge, how .easy would it be for me to raise up, before your eyes, the most frightful images ! What terrible oaths—what frightful trials, •could I not conjure up to your view ! And yet all the world .-knows that a mason-lodge is only a society for pleasure and benevolence. The poinard may be an innocent instrument— and that of the Carbonari has not, since the society has been estalished in France, inflicted the least wound. This fact .speaks volumes against the frightful suppositions of the in •dichnent. The condemnation of the Templars took place on charges equally terrible, and posterity has cleared them. Since. - - . then, simple Carbonarism is not the erime, let us pass to the -second order of facts—namely, those relative to the plot. The accusation denounces a vast conspiracy formed against social order, and against all thrones. Now turn your eyes to the pri - soners.at the bar. You see a young advocate—a schoolmaster —a student of medicine—a clerk in a private administration— a captain (abandoned by the prosecutor)—three serjeant-majors • —a soldier—such is the vast conspiracy against all thrones ! I lbok for the funds of this conspiracy, and I find 30 francs - (twenty-four shillings and sixpence) given by the charity of the Prefect to one of the accused. Such is the opulence of the .conspirators ! . But their arms ? Twenty blades, reostly with .out handles, proved to be the sabres for infants shortened. — But we hear of a directing committee. Where is it ?—who prdves its existence ? It escapes, it is • said, judicial proofs.— • Why, then, do you introduce it into a judicial process ? But •it shows Itself by its acts ! Where are they ? They are esta blished by formerjudgments. What are these judgments ? . There was a conspiracy, they say, at Nantes, at Strasburg, at Belfort, at Joigny.' My client replies, verdicts of acquittal . ; .were pronounced at Joigny, at Belfort, at Nantes, and Stras burg." The Counsel then asked " who were the conspirators ? -what were their means of seduction ? and what was the conduct of the chiefs-of this military plot? Bories was imprisoned fbr _quarrelling with the Swiss—the inheritance of his plot, like the succession of Alexander, passed successively into the hands of • Pommier and Coubin,.who likewise contrived to get into the clutches of the police. The conspirators were thus reduced to •twoserjeants and one soldier ! who had no money, and made -no preparation in their barracks for executing their plot."— • The Learned Counsel then showed that his client had nothing -to do with the conspiracy." COURT OF ASSIZES AT POITIERS, Auo. 28. TtiIAL QF GENERAL BERTON ANA OTIIERS. THIRD DAY. Towards the close of the second day, which was not given in :,the French Papers we received yesterday, the witness Baudrier, •who pretended to know General La Fayette, described him as being five feet two . inches high, of 45 or 50 years of age, and as having black hair and thick whiskers extending nearly to his mouth. • ' • Two other of the accused having surrenderedthernselves were present to--day. • M. Delalande, a notary at Gennes, in whose house Berton was arrested, was examined as to the facts of the arrest. He is .laimscll one of the accused. t • • M.. . a half-pay officer, deposed to •Cafff making proposals to him to become one of the Knights of. Liberty. Colonel RAPATEI. stated, that Berton had avowed his content.with the Government, had informed him of the move . ,unents which were W. take place at Rennes, Nantes and other placei, arid asked him to take part in the afair, promising him pion:lotion and 10,000 livres rentes.

Alifes character, lie.had. refused further to communicate Ivith lim.. • • , M. empov ! AssEnT, whose father it appears is one of the Edi tors of the Contitygonnel, was employed by M. Alix to deliver ~.a message to,- colc,nel Chastillon. He met ]NI. Mix in a stage coach, and 7 thus became acquainted with him. :Another, witness proved that 1.11. 'Alix had known several of ; fleets of the' regiment to which the witness belonged, and had .made no efforts to seduce them from their duty. . M. Alix,adinitted leaving Brest on the Bth of January, hay ing taken a place for Paris, and stopping at Rennes.

Two of the.iccused Complained of being too heavily ironed, and of'being shut Up in a close carriage, ivhere they were almost • ; itifled '; their ituard actually becoming sick. , No other ivylence or Matter of importance was gone into; but the rreneh gapers do not,give the close of the third day. . , llAthan.. 44.—The following is an . , • ..,. - extract: . : frm letter from Algiers of ,• ..,Tune.,Tuneo , • _ • • " On•thelst of this month the combined Belgic and Spanish squadion arrived, in the,roads, laringing,the ultivolum of the Spanish clovesinnent i relatively to the sum which the Regency of Algiers claims from Spain. It also brought orders to Spanish Consul immediately to quit Algiers. The Dey, in answer, declared that he would not change his resolution,, and that he would insist, to the last moment, that Spain should pay its debt, which, together with the compound interest, amounts to 1,300,000 Spanish dollars. The Consul desired, in conse ,. quence,,leave to einbark with his suite, which was positively refused him. The squadron having withdrawn for a time, .t ap peared again in the bay on the 6th. The Spanish Consul then desired leave to gd on board' the Admiral's ship, in order to haVe a conference with: the. Commander-in-chief ) - which was granted him ; and it waa:the Captain of the Fort himself who was•charged with the bffice of taking him on board in an Al gerine boat. Two boats sent from the Admiral's ship having approached that in which the Consul was, he leaped into one of them before his conductor had time to hinder it : when he had thus escaped, the squadron sailed and withdrew. This sudden departure of the Consul caused great sensation here. A few days after this, a Spanish ffigate arrived, bringing to the Consul of the Netherlands an invitation to take under his pro tecLion the Spaniards belonging to the suite of the Consul, and to claim the effects of the Consulate : but the Dey having op posed this, the English Consul took the Consulate of Spain under his protection. The Belgic Admiral has signified to the Consul of his na tion, that it was only by the desire of the Spanish Admiral that he had joined with his fleet the squadron of the latter, but that he had no orders to take him (the Consul) on board. " The Dey of Algiers has long contemplated a war with Spain, but the present moment is not favourable, and great part of his naval force being employed against the Greeks, there are only three or four corsairs in this port. " The plague commits dreadful havock here. From 50 to 60 persons die daily : hitherto the contagion is confined to the city, and has not yet reached the neighbouring towns. Our fortifications, which suffered greatly from the born bardment of the English and Dutch fleets, are entirely re paired." • : PORTUGAL.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of Saturday, from which we give extracts in a pre ceding column. They contain letters from Bi toglia,Seres, and Janina, corroborating the state ments in the Frankfort article which we commu nicated yesterday, of the decisive victory ob tained by - the Greeks in Thessaly, and men tioning the additional fact, that the gal lant ODYSSEUS was the voluntary victim of devotedness to his country's cause. It ap pears that he actually went over to CHO/UR SCIIID PACIIA, but for the sole purpose of per suading him to pursue the Greeks among the narrow passes, where they had formed ambushes for his destruction. lie succeeded in his object, by representing in the strongest colours the great dissensions that were believed to prevail among the - Greeks, which would render them an easy conquest to the Turks, at the same time Cnounsclun his counsel and assistance ; but as soon as the Paella found himself on the eve of being surrounded by the Greeks, and that defeat would be the inevitable result of the advice lie had followed, he caused ,the brave ODYSSEUS, whom he kept in safe custody, to be beheaded, and the 200 men, who accompanied him to the Turkish camp, to be immediately put to the sword. This account is much more consistent with the tried patriotism of , this Greek Chieftain than the statement published by. the Austrian Observer, which represented the stra tagem of ODYSSEUS as a base dereliction of his country's cause ; and the circumstantiality with which all these details are related affords strong presumption that the Greeks have been trium phant in the classic land of battle. One im portant consequence is said to have already at tended their success, that a large body of Alba nians, who were marching to join CIIOURSCHID PACIIA, as soon as they heard of his defeat, im mediately made common cause with the Greeks.

The confirmation given by letters fr'om Bitoglia, of the 31st July, to the great victory gained by the Greeks at Thermopylae, furnishes matter of cordial congratulation to the N% hole of the civilized world, and particularly to all Christendom.—The original accounts of the signal discomfiture sus tained by CIIOURSCIIID PACHA have never been contradicted except by the Austrian Observer; and even its information was avowedly despatched . from Constantinople at a date anterior to that on which the intelligence of the defeat of the Turkish army was probably received. The fact of a great and brilliant exploit having been achieved by the Greeks , being now, therefore, confirmed by a variety of statements from dif ferent quarters, there do not seem to be any reasonable grounds for further doubt of its au thenticity ; and most sincerely do we rejoice at the attainment of an advantage which decisively influences the future fate of Greece, not less by the moral splendour and g l o rious renown with which it has invested the victors, than by the immediate change which it has effected in the comparative physical force of the ' Christian and Mahomedan combatants. The physical effects will probably be soon manifested in the increased vigour and activity with which the Greeks are enabled to push their offensive operations. The moral results must be felt riot only by their own population, stimulating them to new efforts for their final emancipation,— but . in the Cabinets of Europe,—at the ap proaching Congress,—in the political calcula tions of Kings and Ministers,—and in the breasts, in the generous sympathies and kindred feelings of every virtuous and intelligent portion of the great European commonwealth.—Why is it that, in England, the public sympathy in behalf of, this struggling people has hitherto worn an aspect of so much apparent frigidity, not more incon sistent with the national character than it is con trary to the impulse of benevolence, and in op position to the dictates of justice, of humanity, and even of policy ?—We are persuaded that the seeming indifference of the British public to the fate of Greece is not owing to any perversion of the moral faculty, amongst the great mass of our beneficent countrymen, but is solely attribut able to the unaccountable apathy exhibited by those persons who are generally expected to give the first impulse to the public mind on the occur rence of extraordinary conjunctures, and none of whom have as yet stepped forward to lead and direct the feelings of the country, on an occasion the most interesting that has ever claimed the active exertions of its inhabitants, as Christians, as men, and as Britons.—The triumphant career of the Greeks,—their ardour and perseverance, —the sacred character of their enterprise, must iowever at length rouse our leading philanthropists from their lethargy. They will find the people ready to obey their summons, and to follc,w them with alacrity in promoting the glorious work of Gre cian independence. We look with daily impa tience for the appearance of Mr. WILBERFORCE, as the venerable advocate of a cause which his character, his virtues, and his influence, so emi nently qualify him to support. We are asto nished to observe that attempts have been made to deter him from coming forward in behalf of Greece, by the expression of unfounded appre hensions that his active exertions in the cause of her independence, would withdraw him from the prosecution of his great undertaking, the eman cipation of Africa l—We are grieved and surprised to find that this puerile obstacle has been raised in a Journal generally distinguished by the manli ness of its sentiments and by the extension and liberality of its views!—Mr. WILBERFORCE'S advocacy of Greece can never prove injurious to the cause of Africa. It is much more likely that the cause of Africa should suffer from his seem- ing indifference to the fate of Greece.—The ene mies of oppression in Africa must be the enemies of oppression in Europe. Whatever tends to de stroy slavery in one quarter of the globe has a tendency to insure its ultimate destruction in all others. REDUCTIONS.—We cannot but feel much for the persons who have been discharged from the Royal Dock Yards and other public Institutions. Many of them are heavily burthened with fami lies, and thrown upon the world without resource, after indulging the reasonable hope and expecta tion that NATIONAL ECONOMY would direct its attention to higher objects, which may admit of proper reduction, and not condescend to tres pass on humanity, and expose humble and useful industry to indigence and desperation. Can it be wonderful if, in consequence of these exten sive dismissions, the Calendar of Crimes should appear to be proportionably augmented? The' Salisbury packet, from Brazil, has brilught letters from Rio de Janeiro of the 3(1 of July, Bahia of the 13th, aid Pernambuco of the 19th. The principal intelligence is, however, contained in the letters from Bahia, of which the following are 'e xt rac ts BAHIA, JULY 2.—For the last month literally nothing has been done—the shopkeeper sells nothing, and the importer will sell only for cash or produce, so that in reality he also sells nearly nothing. The militia being called out every alternate day to exer cise, the shops are consequently shut on those days after twelve o'clock. Though all has been in appearance tranquil for the last two or three days, intelligence has reached us that the planters in the neighbourhood of this place, and for about 40 miles up the river, have been encouraging the native dis banded troops to assemble at different points, furnishing each man with high pay, arms, and ammunition. The European commander has in consequence sent a gun-boat up to stop the e ntrance of the river, which to-day is reported to have been t aken, and two or three others are in consequence preparing for the same destination. Should this prove correct, we shall have no more business for some time with the interior, which is our chief consumer, and sales will be pretty nearly or alto- gether at a stand. JULY 3.—The Prince has been proclaimed nearly through out the province, between which and this place there exists ac tive warfare. One gun-boat sent by the governor to blockade the river, has been taken at Cochoeira, with the loss of thirty men ; and it is said that another has been sunk, which was subFquently sent on the same errand. The whole of the naval force in the harbour is also preparing for service ; .thly are to be employed in blockading the entrance ° the different rivers.
