fetters down to the bth August, which have lately come from
the Archipelago, confirm former statements of Itedsehid Pacha's
irmy having joined those that came from Negropont. and were
blockading Athens. GOUT* had shut himself up in the citadel, bu•
his nephew had not only suer, •dered, but joined the Turks with the
troops under his command. The Greeks have no effective force to
oppose to the enemy in these points; fur if they send trnol•e from
the Mores they will thereby facilitate the operations of Ibrahim.
la the Archipelago more than fifty ships of war of differen
nations are at present cruising, and several of them give convoys to
machant vessels. Notwithstanding their number, piracies con.

front the heights of the islands, discover them becalmed, and with-
out ay escort in sight.

Their Majesties arrived on the Ilth at San Ildefunso here the
enjoy the best health.
There were yeaterday three executions in this capital. A man
was hanged and a woman strangled, for robbery and murder
another man was hanged for highway robbery. At the moment
that these executions were taking place, a panic fear, of which the
cause is unknown, was spread among the spectators, and even
among the troops that were present to keep order. The sabres
were drawn, and the bayonet pointed ; and a pairmulle of the
cavalry of the guard, arrested by some gendarme., very nearly
occasioned bloodshed even among the soldiers. It does not, how.
ever, appear that any accident occurred in consequence of this scene

of disorder.
This morning three prisoners, condemned to be whipped for
having attempted to blow up by means of gunpowder a part of the
prison wall, have been promenaded on asses' backs through the
principal streets, and flogged.
An edict of the police, published at the beginning of this month
at Valencia, bears in substance that the combined efforts of the
troops of the line and the Royal Volunteers not having succeeded
in the destruction of a band of brigands who hover about the neigh-
bourhood of Alcira and Xativa, a reward of 2.11011 reals is pro-
sensed to the person who will deliver over the Chief, known under
the name of El Clam (the cat).
They write from Catalonia that the notary of the village of Al.
cover, on coming back from a town, whether he had gone to defend
some individuals prosecuted for their opinions, was massacred in
the most barbarous manner by five individuals, armed with muskets
and cutlasses. It may be remarked here that Catalonia, of all the
provinces of Spain, is that in which political passions have preserved
tno reveteracy, no doubt because It hap; the most suffered during
the civil war. Such is the irritation of mind which still prevails in
the provinces, that several Colonels who were to have been seat
out of Barcelona, and dispersed among anti-liberal villages, were
shut up, at their own request, in the citadel, in order to escape the
fury of the people. This measure restored calm to the agitated
public mind.
The Greek and Turkish fleets were In presence of each other on
the 34 August, near Samos. The Hydriots hid at last sent forty
vessels in aid of this island, which sent 200,000 piastres for the
eupeisass of the armament. The Capitan Puha had not yet taken
in the troops that were assembling on the Asiatic coast. Two
Greek fire-ships were lost in two insignificant engagements.
The vessel called the Amphitrite was pillaged in the Archipelago
by pirate; and also two English ships, early in August, the crew
of one of which was massacred (?) Admiral Paulucci, commanding
the Austrian squadron, has stopped several vessels of Spezzia and
Hydra, and set them at liberty, after having required the payment
of a sum of money to reeve as in part ;indemnity for losses which
the Greeks occasion to Austrian commerce.

His Excellency Prince Mettemich arrived here the day before
yesterday.
We hear from England that 31. Jourdan, Doctor of Laws, died
on die 27th August. at Deal, near DOwei, after a severe illness.
Jourdan had received orders from M. de Serve to go to England
vs study the system of Justices of the Peace, and was appointed
Illetnlaer of a Commission charged with preparing a plan of a code
rracedure for the French Colonies.

the enemies of his master, whilst in the pulpit on Saint Anthony's
Day. .
The heatilitles between the Carbonell of Foetus and the 'autho-
rities also continue ; the gates are closed at .onset, and those who
svish at paas through them are obliged to give their onuses in
writing.
Of all the Cardinals, Cardinal Minim, General of the Capu-
chins, appears to enjoy most the confidence of his Holiness.
The Giarnak Recirsiastiro has again attracted public notice. It
had fallen to such decay that even the help of 400 scuilis from the
Pope did not suffice to enable it to continue vegetating. The
number of January appeared in July ; still his Holiness declared
to the Editor that he was to keep it up at any rate, and in spite of
all obstacles. The Cardinal Capillari has been charged with a
new organisation of this undertaking; it will probably have a new
title, owing to its being prohibited in France.
The health of the Archbishop of Matinee (Abbe de Pradt)
does not ameliorate, and fears arc entertained respecting him.
Pasts, SEPT. 2
The Minister of War left Paris this morning at eleven o'clock]
and is expected to arrive at St. Omer on the 7th, where he wil
stop two days. On leaving St. Omer It is his intention to visit
Dunkirk. During his stay at St. Onset, there are to be several
reviews In an immense plain, about two leagues from tent city,
on the road to Boulogne. The place is sufficiently capacious to
contain an immense army, and offers several military positions
which will be successively defended and attacked by the troops en-
camped there.
The Abbe de la lllennais arrived at Bourdeaux on the 30th
ultimo.
The Count de Monllosier presided at the late sitting of the
Academy of Clermont.
'From the Coesfitstrionnel.l
Notwithstanding the assertions of the Ministerial journals, it is
difficult to believe that die Foreign Ministers who are assembled
at Johannisberg went there merely on a complimentary visit to M.
de Metternich. Reflecting persons cannot lan to have remarked
that these is a representative from almost every European power,
with the exception of England. It will be remembered that the
death of Lord Castlereagh wee the signal for the official renuncia.
deo of the principles of the Holy Alliance by the Court of St.
James's, and caused the almost total extinction of this unpopular
confederacy; it has received a still more important check in the
death of its chief, the Emperor Alexander. Time, and the events
which It was the object of the Holy Alliance to arrest and retard,
have timely added the finishing stroke to its destruction, and that
unholy
_fraternity.** dear to M. de 3letternich, is now, in fact,
completely annihilated.
Has M. Aletternich conceived some new plan with a view to re
seseitate an alliance, which, after an existence of ten years only, fell
into a premature old age ? Can England have a similar deingn ?
and is this the reason that she alone, among all the great Powers,
has declined sending an ambassador to Johannisberg ?
Every day produces some event which gives the magistracy a
froth claim to the confidence of the people. The Royal Court of
Amiens last year refused to be present when the Missionaries
preached ; but, by a deception worthy of the disciples of Escobar,
advantage is taken of a ceremony. at which the Courts have the
right to be present, to set intrignes on foot, which the authors dare
rot openly sanction. The magistrate., however, though they will
not unnecessarily bring these things to the notice of the public,
will not suffer themselves to be deceived, and they know how to
maintain their dignity and independence. On their return into
Court, they entered onto an energetic protest against the miserab e
subterfuge by which it was sought to cite the refusal in question a
a precedent, and to construe their conduct into a retractation of the
principles promulgated a year since.
