[From the Madrid Gazette of August 28.1
The following despatches have been received by the
Minister of War:-

the village of Zafrilla, by a detachment of horse grenadiers belong-
ing to the Royal Guard, under the command of Lieutenant-Colorel
Don Saturnino AlbuM, whom I had ordered, as I apprized you In
my former despatches, to pursue them till they were exterminated.
Lieut.-Colonel Albuin has this moment arrived with the criminals
at my head-quarters, where i had taken by anticipation the neces-
eery measures to catty intol'ull. effect the orders of the Ring our
Master, communicated to me by your Excellency, the entire execu-
tion of which I shall report to-morrow, in order that you may
transmit the same for the information of Majesty.
God preserve you many years.
Head-quarters, 3lolina de Arrsgon, Aug. 25, 1825,
at Nine o'clock in the evening.

SECOND DESPATCH,
The sovereign Decrees of his Majesty of the 17th snd 21st of
this month, and the orders communicated to me by your Excel-
lency, dated the 23th, have already been executed. As soon as
Don Georges Bessieres, and the men in his suite had been taken
by the troops under my command, which had been in pursuit of
them, they brought them to my head-quarters, where they arrived
yesterday at nine in the evening, as 1 havo already had the honour
to announce to you by my despatch of yesterday. The decree of
his Majesty was immediately made known to the Chief, and the
seven accomplices of his crime, whose name and rank are sub-
joined. All the spiritual aids of our holy and consoling religion
were administered to them, and alien they had confessed the fright-
ful crime of which they had been guilty they were shot. The exe-
cution took place this day, the 26t1, at half-past eight in the morn-
ing. They died like Christians, repenting their high treason, and
praying to God, that their punishment might serve as an example,
and prevent the recurrence of a similar attempt. The troops of the
Royal Guard, Infantry and Cavalry, and a squadron of the Ist
Regiment of the line (formerly Saatiago), which was at my head-
, quarters, have bem witnesses of this execution, and have defiled
before the dead bodies.

Bolsterer' had published a list of proscriptions of 17 persons whom
they were to use all possible means to make away with, and the
name of M. Zea Bermudez was the first. Arrsgon seems to bethe
province on which this General and his party had more particularly
fixed their views. The Captsin.General has acted with as much
firmness as prudence, and this part of the country, after a momen.
tary ferment, has returned to a state of the most perfect tranquil.
lity.

The Aristarqut Paris Paper states, that several agents o
Ferdinand have bad interviews with M. de Villele on the
subject of a new loan, for the purpose of soliciting his in-
fluence in the negotiation. The French Minister, accord-
ing to the Aristarque, invariably commenced by asking
whether the parties had authority to recognize the loans of
the Cortes, and upon the answer being given in the nega-
tive, the interviews have always terminated immediately.
Extract of a letter from Paris :—" The intercourse with
Madrid is incessant. We now learn that a monk has been
arrested in the Spanish capital, and all the details of the,
conspiracy of Don Carlos obtained from him. lea Ber-
mudez has been fired at as he was proceeding in his ear-
-1 riage to have an audience of the King, but he was not in-
jured. The French and English Ministers were with the
King on the 21st ult. and it is positively asserted that
he has consented to place himself entirely under their
guidance."
On the 30th ult. M. Bergeron, formerly Rector of the
parish of St. Sulpice, near Orleans, was sentenced, by the
Correctional Tribunal at Blois, to three years' imprison-
ment, and to pay a fine of 300 francs and costs, upon eon-
' viction of outrage to the Royal Majesty by expressions
11 publicly employed relative to the charter.—Galignani's
Messewrrr.

The following is sn extract of a private letter, dated
Corfu, August 13 :—" On the 11th instant I wrote to you
by the Courier, and I told you of the assault made by
Rumeli Valessy, at itlissolonglii, in which he lon nearly
the half of his army, and retired in great confusion. Our
fleet, which arrived at Missolonglii, triumphed over that
of the enemy. With one fireahip the Greeks succeeded in
burning two large vessels, and took one brig, and the rest
were put to flight and pursued by our ships. A part of the
Turkish fleet took refuge at Avlona, where they are blocked
up by a division of the Greek squadron. Yesterday there
arrived here several small vessels from Calamo anct Prevcsa,
from which we learned, that the Greek troops who were at
Salona had arrived near Missolonghi, and had given a sig-
nal, by kindling fires, to our troops in that place, and hav-
ing come to an understanding with them on the 7thi instant,
a general and sudden attack was made both within and
without the place on the enemy, and a dreadful massacre
took place; many prisoners were taken and the rest driven
to Vraehori."

iVe stated yesterday, that a carriage loaded with gold
bad been stopped at Valenciennes by the French Authori-
ties. it appears that Rothschild bad contracted
to supply the King of the Netherlands with a quantity of
ingots of gold for a new coinage, and that this was a part
of it. The carriage was stopped for want of a regular
permit, but this was soon obtained, and the conductors
were allowed to proc-ed with their charge to its destination.

at the Baltic Coffee-house:—

AURA= Consulate, London. Sept. C.
SIR—I beg to inform you that I have received an official com.
municanott from my Government, which 1 think may not be unin-
terest:ng to the Baltic merchants, and others, namely ;—that seve-
ral merchants in Revel have united to establish a Flax Trade in
order to augment as much as possible the exportation of that article.
They have, for this purpose, .ea.nged an expert person, well ac-
quainted with sorting the different qualities of flax, and purpose
shortly to send different qualities of Esthonian flax to the different
places and countries that trade in that commodity.
I remain, Sir, your obedient humble Servant.

•.SM A ri.-Vox.--The linty Gazette contains the following
paragraph :—Alarming as the disease called small-pox has
been in this town, we are sorry (query, glad), to find that
the fatality and extent of it have been vet y much exaggerated.
After 'the most strict inquiry, we can assure the public
that the number of deaths occurring from that disease, in
this town, within the last three months, has not exceeded
fourteen—and that there are not at this time twenty cases
of small-pox within our boundary. It is also satisfactory
to find that of those who have died from this disease, rot
ore had teen vaccinated !
