(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)
BARCELONA, JOLT 15.
Yesterday afternoon, the Captain-General ordered several persona
to leave the City in twenty-four hours, and Lt, go to such places as
should be assigned to them. Passports for Casteltersol were sent
for thi' purpose to 31. Pero!. the former Political Chief of Girrrne ;
for Seism', to 31. Bray, Ex-Governor of :In Citadel; for Vich,
to the brother of 31. Bray, Ex-Adjutant of the fortress of Mont-
joui : for Mora tle Ebro, to Al. Pingarron, Ex-Commandant of
the Custom-house Officers; for Mantels, to M. hlontera, Ex-
Treasurer of that rr wince. and Ex-Commandant of the National
Militia of Barcelona, No. 3; fur Pratt de Llutanes, to Al. Mon-
tero, junior, Ex-Treasurer of the district of Gironne ; for 'Warm
to M. Aguirre, Ex-Commandant of the Foreign Legion ; for
Pons, to AI. Torregroaa, Ex-Lieutenant of the same Lgion.
The care which has been taken to designate the employment
which they held under the Constitution is an actual sentence of
death. From the spirit which prevails in that province. it is cer-
tain, if they have Vie good fortune to escape assassination in their
Ijourney, that they still be murdered immediately on their arrival at
, their destination. It was in vain that these wretched men addressed
I 31. de Campo Sagrado begging him to defer the execution of so
terrible an order. That General appeared deeply affected at the
measure; but he intimated that strict orders had been transmitted
to him to see it immediately executed. Ile added that he had no
ground of complaint against the petitioners. These unfortunate
men addressed themselves afterwards to General Iteisset, itnplor-
in.( his interference, and soliciting passports to quit the kingdom.
The result of this proceeding is not yet known.

PARIS. JULY 22.

A letter from Lisbon, of the bth July, which we have received
to-day. contains the following details.
The hints received from the courier of our Embassy at Paris left
much uncertainty in the public mind. Confused reports were even
spread of certain seditious cries uttered by the 4th and 7th regi-
ments ; but a commercial express has since fortunately brought a
complete account of the intelligence from Brazil • and the corvette
Lealtlade, also coming from Rio Janeiro, has no longer left us the
least room to doubt concerning an event which fulfils our most ar-
dent hopes, and is likely won to put an end to our unhappy dis-
sensions. It is impossible to describe the transports of pub-
lic rejoicing, and the stupor of the small portion of the dis-
affected. The Count de Brabacena, the Minister of War, caused
tb's happy news to be published at head-quarter., and the
enthusiasm of the army corresponded with that of the nation.
The Apostolical party, who for some time had been loaning
the most horrible projects, who loudly predicted the speedy retreat
of the English fleet front the Tagus, were struck as by. a clap of
thunder. Government ordered the immediate publication of all
the decrees of the Emperor, to the great mortification of the Apos-
tolical party, who can no longer flatter themselves with being able to
prevent the promulgation of the Charter. The whole population is
impatient to hear it, and the greatest irderest is manifested on all
hands. The entrances to the Royal printing offices are obstructed
by an immense crown, waiting impatiently for the first copies of this
memorable Act. emanating from a legitimate Sov,reign, and des-
tined to heal all the wounds of the country. The Count of Porto
Lento, Minister of State, and one of the new Peers of the kingdom,
has been seriously ill for Annie days. The heads of the Apostolical
party appear resigned. Their ranks are perceptibly thinning. At-
tempts are said to have been made to excite the Amarante to make
some efforts, but they continue quiet. The disaffected find
no support any where amidst a happy people. Fears have
also been suggested to us on the score of the Holy Al.
liance ; but will it infringe its own declarations? 11111 it
trample on that legitimacy which it is in the habit of invoking ?
Much has been said also of the discontent of the French Ca-
binet; but how could the Ministers of a constitutional King, who
himself gave the great example which Don Pedro has followed, de-
clare themselves with any decency the protectors of despotism un-
der the tegis of legal liberty by which they are covered ? The last
hope of the disaffected would be in Spain, and in the new Ambas-
sador with whom she threatens us but we know the means of the
latter, and Spain has no right to impose upon us her anarchy, her
revolt, and all her miseries. All will be vain ; we will be Coned-
tutionaliste. It is true, however, that the amnesty appears more
formidable to the apostolica intriguers than the constitution itselr.
'they say it is still possible to alter the latter, but there can be no
quibbling af out the funnier. They are really much to be piti, d ;
they are now weaned from proscription and reve..ee. The sight of
public harmony is the greatest punishment which can be inflicted
on them.

contributions, is too glaring to need comment. But the
whole system should be modified at the present moment.
The period in which we live is one which calls for economy
in charity ; and in a scene of public distress like the pre-
sent, why should we persist in sending Biblas and Mis-
sionaries abroad, when men are dying at home, leaving all
hopes, present or future, for want of bodily subsistence?
In order to be truly charitable, there ought to be a scale of
importance for every object, and one object ought not to be
magnified beyond its due proportion. Would the member
of a Bible Society act wisely in sending a starving man a
Bible instead of a loaf? Would he act wisely, even for
those purposes which he has in view, if he did not supply
first the more immediate want, and turn afterwards to those
other objects which can only be accomplished while the
lamp of life continues to burn ? We do not hesitate,
therefore, in saying that the funds of Bible and Missionary
Societies ought at this moment to be appropriated to the
relief of the distress of our own population, instead of
going, as they do in many cases, to the support of enthu-
siastic field-preachers. Let us not be understood as wish-
ing to throw disrespect on these institutions: quite the
contrary. We respect the religious feelings of all men,
and we sincerely approve the doctrines of the Protestant
faith ; but we cannot approve the misdirection of their zeal.
Religion has been useful even in a political point of view,
in supporting the poor under their miseries and restraining
them from illegal violence. We hope that the efforts
which have been used for this purpose will not slacken,
but will be increased ; and we wish them every Brims.,
consistent with our principles, and with the interests of the
Established Church. The regular Clergy will not fall
slicrt in this respect of the zeal of the sectarians, and their
efforts to our minds are more according to knowledge.
Without in anywise compromising the faith of their
forefathers, they suffer circumstances to weigh with them,
and attend to the spirit more than the letter of scriptural
instruction. To the enthusiast in religion, this may ap-
pear lukewarmness ; to us it evinces sound judgment and
true religion. Those who direct the immense establish-
ments connected with religious dissent, however disinclined
they maybe to relax, even for a single hour, in their efforts
1 to increase Missionary Associations and Bile Societies,
would do well to consider whether it might not be ad-
vantageous, in such a case as the present, to discharge at
least a large portion of their supernumerary preachers and
others receiving stipends from their funds, in order to ap-
ply then to the alleviation of distresses, the continuance of
which would remove so many from all chance of receiving
benefit from their spiritual exhortations.

CITY, TvEsDAY EVENING.

This being a holiday at the Bank, and the Committees
of the Home and Foreign Stock Exchanges having closed
the doo.s of their respective temples, the inferior deities
that could not, or would not, take a holiday, congregated
under the Quadrangle of the Royal Exchange, and pur-
sued their avocations with their wonted vigour. Consols,
during the day, were done at IV ; but, when the dinner-
bell rang upon 'Change, they could hardly be quoted at
more than 761 . .

In South American Securities there is little or no varia-
tion, Columbian being at 323/4 to 33, and Mexican at
1.73/4 .tf3.

There has been a renewed activity in Brazilian Mine
Shares, and various fluctuations took place, inasmuch as
they opened at 12, went down to 9, rose to 152 and left off
at 12 premium, the price at which they commenced.
There does not appear to be any reason for these flights,
beyond the mere fancy of the speculators.
Exchanges vary very slightly from the course of last
week.

Deseeeenes FROM GREECE. We have just had an in
terview with a Greek naval officer, who arrived this morn-
ing from Hydra, overland, being the bearer of despatches to
the Greek Committee. He states that Tripolizza has been
retaken from the Turks by storm, on which occasion the
Egyptians lost a great number of men. Admiral Miaulis
has destroyed two Turkish frigates in the mouth of the
Dardanelles. He also adds, that since the establishment of
the new Government, affairs have taken a very favourable
turn, and Admiral Miaulis was waiting, with his Reet, to
join that of Lord Cochrane, whose approaching arrival has
caused great joy. The Greeks are determined to conquer
or die.—Brilish Traveller.
SPAlN.—Extract of a private letter of the 10th instant,
from Madrid:—" The events in Portugal have thrown our
Cabinet into such embarrassment, that instructions have
been sent to the Spanish Ambassadors at Paris, Vienna,
and St. Petersburgh, to ascertain what are the views of
those Courts upon the posture we should assume with re-
spect to Portugal. The report of these three Ambassadors,
and that of the Special Commission appointed to that effect
by the King, will decide the course which our Government
will pursue towarde. Lisbon. Meanwhile our affairs at
home go on no better. as plot succeeds to plot. The Gover-
nor of Ocana has just enterentadrid, with a great number
of notable persons of the province of La Mancha, all impli-
cated in a conspiracy which was to have broken out last
month at Aranjuez. The number of persons arrested is so
great, that the Government has placed at the disposal of
the police a buildirg for the express purpose of imprisoning
them."

ST. PETERSBUIIGH, JUNE 14.

At a Meeting of the British Factory, held this day, the
written Reports of the proceedings in Crowds& on the 9th
inst., consequent to the alarming and destructive confla-
gration which then took place, and of the subsequent ope-
rations of bringing back to their moorings in the harbour
the great number of ship:, lighters, and craft, which had
been rescued from the flames, having been read, the follow-
ing Resolc lona were unanimously agreed
to:-
1. That the Treasurer be requested to express, in the name of
the British Factory, to Joshua Sydney Horton. Esq., Captain of
his 3lnjesty's ship Gloucester. their feelings of gratitude to hint,
the officers, seamen, and marines, under his command, belonging
both to that ship, and to his Majesty's steam-vessel Meteor, for
the eminent services rendered by them, on that day, in removing
from the harbour, the ships, lighters and craft, which, but for
their efforts, would, in all probability, have been consumed by
the flames, to the great detriment of the British trade at this
port ; and, further, to declare the obligations of the Factory to
their gallant countrymen, for subsequently (after the danger from
the fire was at an end) aiding so effectually in bringing back to
their proper moorings the various vessels, which otherwise must
have remained longer exposed to the dangers of the open road-
stead.
The Treasurer is desired to request, that Captain Horton will
have the goodness to communicate these sentiments to the officers,
seamen, and marines, under his command.
2. That the British Factory feel a pride in reflecting, that the
services rendered on that day, and subsequently. by Captain Hor-
ton, the officers and men under his command, were not confined
to the rescue of British shipping and property alone, hut were
equally extended to all other shipping and floating property ex-
caat the time to similar danger. Such conduct is well calcu-
to excite general admiration ; and the Factory cannot but
glory in the example thus afforded, of British officers and seamen
being ever ready, in whatever part of the world they may be, to
make their services conducive to the public goad.
3. That Capt. Horton be requested, through the medium of the
Treasurer, to do) the British Factory the honour of accepting of
it piece of plate (to be prepared in England), with an appropriate
inscription ; and, further, that (if consistent with the regulations
of his Britannic Majesty's naval service) Captain Horton will
permit them to place at his disposal the sum of one hundred and
fifty guineas, to be distributed as he may think best amongst the
petty officers, seamen, and marines, under his command.
(Signed) JAMES LIDDELL, Jun., Treasurer.

ST• PETERSDURGII, JUNE US.
Syst—l have the honour to inform you that a' a meeting of the
British Factory at this place, held yesterday, I was directed to
communicate to you the high sense they entertain of your volun-
tary and meritorious exertions on the evening of the 9th inst., and
I conceive that I cannot express their wishes more effectually th m
in their own words.
I have, therefore, the honour of transmitting to you a copy of the
Resolutions unanimously agreed to on that occasion and I do so
with the more pleasure, as I am convinced that these sentiments
are not confined to the Britith factory alone, but are the feeling. of
every individual connected with the trade at this place ; all being
fulty sensible that had it not been for the prompt and well-directed
assistance, which you, Sir, afforded to the shipping, the greater
part would have been destroyed, and the consequences, in other re-
spects, have been more disastrous than can, even now, be contem-
plated without shuddering.
With every sentiment of respect and regard,
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your mos; obedient servant,
(Signed) JAMES LIDDELL, jun. Treasurer.
To Joshua Sydney Horton, Esq. Captain of his
Britannic Majesty's ship Gloucester.

Extract of a letter dated St. Petersbnrgh, June 26,
1826 :
It is a dangerous thing to write any letters from hence, on poll-
helm or any subject but mere matters of business, as every packet
is opened at the post-office ; and therefore I have not been able till
now, when an oppoetunity offers of sending this by yes, to give you
any news of what is doing here. The newspapers will have informed
you that the trial of the conspirators is still going on ; but as in
this country all such affairs are done with closed doors, the public
are not permitted to know anything of the proceedings, and it is
only in whispers that the truth is allowed now and then to escape.
The fact is now placed beyond all question that the plot had existed
fur several years; that it had the most extended 'ramifications
throughout the army ; that the secret was so well kept, and the
conspirators so faithful to one another, that no discovery was made
of their designs--when the death of Alexander, and the unlooked-
for occurrence of Constantine's refusing to reign, made them pre-
maturely begin to act, and caused them to fail. Still their success
or failure seems to have depended on the merest accident. Had
any one of them had the hardihood to send a pistol-ball through
the Emperor Nicholas, as they did through Miloradovitch, the day
was theirs. Seldom can it happen that the fate of an empire is to
be decided by the personal conduct of a single man; but on this
occasion the presence of mind and intrepidity of Nicholas alone
turned the scale. He threw himself into the midst of the rebellious
troops, addressing them by turns with menace+ and intreaties, aed
employed every art to win them to his side. For some time all his
efforts were unavailing. Not a single regiment could be prevailed
on to declare fur him, until at length a battalion of the Guards was
gained over, the minds of the soldiers having been moved by the
natural and earnest eloquence of the Emperor. They were drawn
up before the Palace, when Nicholas, taking his eldest son in his
arms, rushed among them, and, appealing to them by all they held
most dear, assuring them of his lave of his country, and his attach-
ment to the army. he called on them to fire on himself and the heir
to the throne, and choose as their successor, if they could eny where
find him, a man more devoted to the welfare and glory of Russia.
The soldiers shed tears at this ; they could no longer resist, and
serene to be true to him. Their example was followed by one or
two more regiments ; but notwithstanding that, if the conspirators
had acted with any promptitude, the victory would have rested
with them, as the rebel troops resisted all the lukewarm attacks of
the infantry sent against them, and it was not till the artillery
played on their ranks that they began to yield.
There seems to have been little wisdom in the designs of the con-
spirators, and they appear to have been in no way adapted to the
present condition of Russia. All the slaves were at once to be d'-
dared free—those degraded and ignorant peasants, that in mind
and habits are little raised above the lower animals, were. in a mo-
ment, to be let loose, without any previous training, and a Consti-
tutional Government to he proclaimed, without there being any de-
merits of which it could be formed. The plan was obviously anti-
national!, as society is as yet constituted here, for there are but two
classes—the nobles and their slaves; and the wealth of the former
consists chiefly in the number of their vassals. With the progress
of wealth and civilization, a third class will arise, and then freedom
may be established.
Among the conspirators are some young enthusiasts, who had be-
nevolent intentions, but the others appeared to be actuated by am-
bitious and sordid views, and pillage and murder would have at-
tended their success. These would-be Catilines have shown great
must of resolution, and have, in the most cowardly manner, revealed
their pion', and betrayed their associates. About a dozen of them
are expected to be shot, and the rest will be banished to Siberia.
We have been a goad deal deceived in England as to the charac-
ter and conduct of the Emperor .elexander. Of late years he
seems to have become very indolent, to have given himself up to
indulgence and sensual pleasures, and to have neglected the cares of
Onvernntent, so that great abuses had crept in, and the peculations
and oppression of the authorities and men in office had occasioned
great discontent. In proof of his indolence, lam assured that he
had nut signed any of the documents and requisite decrees from the
4th of July last to the time of his death. His successor is the very
reverse of this. He appears to possess great force of character, is
endowed with great bodily and mental activity—sleeps and eats
little—is fond of domestic life, and being tenderly attached to his
wife, is faithful to her—and the rapidity of his movements and con-
stant occupations from four in the morning, would make him a le-
gitimate king, such as Burke required, who should be constantly
on horseback.
There was a gratifying sight here the other day to Englishmen,
when the Duke of Devonshire, accompanied by his suite, conshting
of Lori Morpeth, Mr. Cavendish, the Honourable Mr. Dundas,
Mr. Fore, and Mr. Townsliend, went to Court in all the pomp and
ceremony that rank and wealth can purchase. The elegance of the
state carriages and harness, with the beauty of the English home,
and the splendid liveries, attracted greatly the admiration of the
Russians. Nothing can surpass the friendly disposition and deli-
cate atteutione which the Emperor liason every occasion manifested
towards his Grace. Sonic of the gentlemen of the suite have not
yet arrived from Stockholm.
A terrible tire happened three days ago at Cronstadt, which
threatened for some time the destruction of the whole of the town
and the arsenal ; and all the merchant Vessels in the harbour would
have been burnt, but for the exertions of the officers and sailors of
the Gloucester, 71, who succeeded, with the assistance of the Eng-
lish steam-boats, in towing them outside of the mole, at a secure
distance from the flames. The loss of property has been immense.
The general belief is, that the fire was the work of the enemies
of the Government, and may be considered as an indication of the
hatred and discontent which pervades men's minds. The more
probable cause designed is, that the fire was the act of some despe-
rate persons implicated in the nefarious transactions which have
lately been brought to light at Cronstadt. For a long series of
years it had been the practice there, it it said, to sell the Govern-
ment shires, sails. hemp, rigging, &c. in a clandestine manner, and
the henry was divided among the employers, who in this way added
to their scanty salaries. The present Emperor determined to put a
stop to the system of robbery, and Admirals, Captains, and M or-
chants, were arrested, and the magazines of the latter were shut
up, with padlocks and seals affixed to all the doors. There the
tire broke out, and thus some of the traces of the peculations were
removed.
Be this as it may, it is clear that Nicholas lies a difficult game to
play. He is aware of this, and has said that lie may attecnrnb, but
lie is resolved to persevere. Count Atalochef, of whom, and hie
military colonies, the verbose Dr. Lyal has Raid so much, I find
universally detested. The Laneasterien schoola, In the interim, are
generally suppressed. More of this hereafter.

The extraordinary number of two hundred and twenty-
seven persons have claimed to be admitted to the freedom
of this city at the next Council-Ilouse meeting for that
purpose.—Coveutry Mercaty.
