FRENCH PIPERS.

The Jaw rust des Dekds, the Constikdiosnel, and the Qsoa-
lienate, announce to-ttay to their reroiers, that the evacuation of
Spain by the French troops will not take place. The Jourterl de*
Dellis and the t'onstitidioiniel give a letter from Madrid, dated
November Std. reteivid by an extraonlinary channel, which brihes
this news. The Qustidienne ssys, that a wittier was to set off the
day before yestertisy, or yesiereisy, to carry an order for suspending
the movement of the troops. Notwithstanding all these assertions,
we persist in saying that the evacuation was to to:nub:Lee un the lst
December.

secret motives which have induced the Ring, (diaries John, to
withdraw from his son, Prince Oscar, tlw i:eroyalty of Norway.
They know, however, what his Majesty has published on
this subject —" That he wishes to give to the Prince Hotta!, his
sun, an opportunity of acquiring, by his residence at Stockhoito, a

SPANISII PAPERS.

[From the Madrid Gazette of Noy. 23.]
NADUID, N0v."24.
. . . .

All honourable men, and those who have any feelings of huma-
nity. Icheld with the greatest honor and just intli”,cation, the
atrocious and scandalous conduct of the Constitutionalists of l'o-
runns, the cowardly assassins of 51 of their brethren, of whom 43,
at least, were guiliy of no other crim having than of :vitig remained
faithful to their King and the laws of their country, and of having
enamor& like true Spanierds, to defend these valuable object',
aad the religion of their fathers, which they saw del4l/i11(11 and prr.
secuted by those who, in their destructive constitution, had sworn
to preserve and protect it. Now that the proceedings t.re terminated
which were commenced In consequence of that lementzttle event,
which Wiled all Lurope with indignation, we insert an extract
from them, which cannot fail to excite interest, and to renew
the grief for the fate of the vaxime, and ir.dignetion towards the
aseaesins:—

The tiorernot of the place, Don Pedro Mendez Vigo, rice 07-
den to his agents on the 15th, Illth, and 2thh of July, 111.23, to
convey from the rso al prison to the fort of St. Antrmy, a consi-
derable number of pnacnrra; this was dune, and by his farther
orders, they were rentovtd from the fon, and put on board a vessel
ol Seville, called Santo Cristo de log Aftigidos, between eleven and
twelve o'clock in the nigh: of the g 2.1 July.
[Here follows the names of the inslividucls; 43 are stated to be
fur political oOniiiits, and attachment to the Itoyal Government;
among them are 'several officers and some priests. The other eight
fur radio try crintes.l
All these prisontrs were escorted by some of the national militia,
some- of the sacred battalion, who were alto accompanied by Coin-
' ittissioners of the Government, who were informed of the tragical
fate prepared for the unhappy prisoners, who were immediately
stripped of their garments, effects, and money, bound, and nut
latler the hatches. The visaed set sail in the night, but in the
riming anchored again, and quitted the bay shout one in the af-
ternoon of the 23.1, at which time there came on board a reinliwee-
nient of national troops from the city and from Ferret', who had been
fetched by one of the Co:nmissionors. When at 3 least-ties distance
from this port, the ptineipal Commissioner gave orders for the pri-
soners to tome oil deck as be called over their names from a fiat
which he read. This !wing dome, he desired them to sit down on
the sides el the vessel' erecter., them bread and wine, which envy
laxly decline d ; he informed them that he Wa% going to remove then.
iota a vessel that was in sight. lle ordered them to be bound
again, and to go utdltr the hatches. Soon aft. rhe ordered twenty
of them on deck, end one of them seeing that every thing was ready
to throw theta irto the sea, made a motion to rush on the principal
Commissioner ; then lath those of the escort, and other the subal-
tern agents, drew the daggers, which they had ready, began by
stahhing them, and iu this state threw them into the sea. The rc-
mai: der were taken out one by one. 'roe said Commissioner, who
was close to the hatches, seize r them by the neck, ordered them
to go forward, and as they rassed along the side of the vessel
knocked them overboard. One of the priests begim in a loud yoke
to sing the ss :Bitterer'," and th.., other victims struggled wi.h
this waves rod with death while the escort sung patri.wic songs.
Such was the cruelty of the assassins, that dating one of them who
kept above water would save hawk', they put two sailors 041 board
a boat, who beat him tot the head with their oars, and killed
hint. Not cont.:3 with this, they gave the last anti wort horrible
proof of inhumanity. They coolly divided the garments, money,
tits which they had taken, at.d having ontostimmated this unheard-et
CAM!, retunied to the city on the 244 i of July in die morning.
The Regency of the kingdom gave orders on the _4th S: p;. 1823,
to a magistrate of the royal tribroal of “AlliCiA in proceed against
the authoia and accomplices of sat creel a crime. All the p oeettl.
logs having been carristi on in the rogt.lar forms of law, sentence
was pmnour.ced on the •.lath cf July lot. By this sentence sic of
the &cooked were ordered to bv lumged„ and the remainder to vari-
ous terms of imprisonment in different presidios, to payment of
and to tines ; the property of the criminals to be mooned to
the benefit of the families of the victims. The sentence being re-
ferred by his 3iajesty to the Supreme Council for examination, was
approved by his Majesty ; whet it was announced to the crinsinale,
moat of them heard it with indifference, and Joseph Lixteo, a
shoemaker of Ferrol, sung the Tr.sgsala. The endeavours of the
secular and regular ecclesiastics to induce them to receive the con-
solations of religion were in vain.
The people are stated to have behaved wish the utmost decorum
at witnessing the ex.. eution of this just though awful valence.
The shoemaker kilted himself by opening some veins with a
small Two othe:s policed themselves by taking opium._
'Abe three dead bodies w_re sospeatled from die gallows, and six
others of the condemned were bungee.

The Ametican Agent has of a peace between the
Republic of Illemieound the Missouri Indians, and thereby
restored the lucrative interior trade between the Unind
States and Mexico. The Comanches, a powerful tribe,
threatened the I /sages with war, but the spread el the white
pepulatien will soon prevent the Indian contest.
The Paella of Ezypt has prohibited the exportation of
all sorts of grain, owing to toe Nile not having overflowed
its banks as usual ; and consequently, it is feared, the crop
will he had. This circumstance may have some efli,et un
the article. especially as the demand is gnat in the Archi-
lr,•lago and the Nlorea.

Ilanzli..—The population of the 19 provinces of Brazil
amounts to upwrads of 4,009,000. In th•.s counts it is to
ha lamented that there are mat: than 2,000,000 of slaves.
The regular army of Brazil amounts to between '.?3,001)
and ;10,t;00 men ; its militia force to 30,000 men. The re-
venue of the empire is estimated at nearly 3,000,000 ster-
ling. In the year 1811 it is estimate:l at 9.1,0u0,000 of
francs, or in arty t 000,000 i. sterling. The vast extent of
lands belonging to the nation permits Br sil, by their sale,
to rtdecm its debt. without ittipcsing hor•.hns on the

venue of Brazil, from the King's arrival in ISOS, to his
departure in ltl2o, computed in French money:—
