FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
Nuts, SEPT. 24.—His Grace the Duke of Wel-
lington set off on Sunday mottling for Vienna. His
health compels him to travd by short stages, and to
stop every night to sleep.
The last advices from Vienna are dated the 15th
inst. His Excellency the French Minister of Fo-
reign Affairs, it appears, will nut set out on his re-
turn to Paris until the beginning of October.
A letter from Lyons states, that on the 15th inst.
two police commissaries went to the Masonic Lodge,
called Memphis, at l'ilata, and took away all the
lists, papers, registers, &c. of the Society. This
was done in consequence of an order from the Mi-
nister of the Interior.

We 6ve received the following intelligence from
St. Sebastian, dated Sept. 16th, by an extraordinary
conveyance:—" The Trappist and Quesada, with
about 6,000 men, had a combat on the 12th, with
the Constitutionalists in the vicinity of Baclosteo.
Alter thirteen hours' fighting, the latter were
beaten, and put to flight. A column of their army,
about 500 strong, succeeded in getting into Ve-
masque ; the Trappist pursued them thither, and
summoned the garrison to surrender in twenty-four
Lours, otherwise lie tvould put every man to the
sword, and burn the town. Whilst this chief was
thus engaged, Quesada pursued the Constitutional-
ists, who had retreated on the route to Tremp.
" It is added that Baron D'Erolcs, having been
attacked in the neighbourhood of Urgel, had routed
the Constitutionalists, and taken 300 prisoners,whom
he had marched to Seo."
COMM NA. SEPr. 4 —M. the Duke de l'lnfantado
arrived here yesterday, to give a new proof of his
obedience to the 0rt'..,;•.4 of his Catholic Majesty,
whom he solicited, in a spirited representation, to
allow him to retire, or to go to Portugal.
EXECUTION OF GENERAL ELIO.

Extract of a letter from a Liberal at Valencia,
dated Sept. 4 :—" The infitmous Gen. Elio has, at
length, suffered the pain of death (by the garelle.)
His execution tusk place this morning, at t t o'clock,
after having been publicly divested of his rank and
honours. The General was not condemned on ac-
count of his conduct as Captain-General, but in
consequence of the revolt of the cannottiers who
occupied the tort of Valencia, on the 30th of May.
Being tried before an ordinary Court-Martial, on
the t'd of June, at which General Villa-Camps pre-
sided, he was, on the 27th of August, adjudged to
the most ignominious death known to the Spanish
laws, that of the garotte. This sentence, submitted
to the Auditor lit War to be revised, was not only
approved, but the Auditor demanded its immediate
execution, conformably to the martial law of the
17th April, 1821. The arrival of the 13:igadier
&pine, who was provisionally invested with the mi-
litary command of this district, was regarded as the
signal for the execution. If it had been retarded, we
should have broken into the prison, and ourselves
have conducted the victim to the scattidd. The
people maintained that demeanour which becomes
an heroic nation, and accompanied the culprit to the
scsiltuld, with shouts of—" To death with Elio! his
blood will cement the constitutional edifice.'"
Another 'suer fions Valencia, written in a dif-
ferent spirit, states—" The scaffold on which Gen.
E:io was strangled at Valencia, on the 4th instant,
was erected close to Is delightful garden which be-
longed to him when he was all powerful in that
town. It appears that this spot was selected in or-
der that his tragical end might be marked by a cir-
cumstance which was calculated to make him regret
life. One of our Journals, which is at all tunes
distinguished baits violence, affirms that Gen. Elio,
previously to walking to the scaffold, knelt down
and asked pardon of the Authorities, who were pre-
sent, fur all the mischief he had occasiuned—this is
wholly false. Above twelve thousand persons were
witnesses of the firmness which lie shoved on this
sad occasion, and of the last words he pronounced.
The General protested his innocence in the face of
God and man; he declared that he had only carried
into execution the Orders which lie had received frutu
the Government during the period of his command;
that he was utterly unimineeted with the revolt of
the -..i.nnutiiers; mud, filially, that he begged of God
to pardon his nintlierets, us he himself forg,ave them.
I s i-h,' he Ailed, that my bioud may be the last
which is shed to Spain. Spain will one day du jus-
tice to the purity of my intentions, and repeat tile
cry which is now may last prayer—Lung live the
King and religion

have been no foundation for this report, sad there is
more reason to believe that his Majesty acceded to
the measure with the same indifference that he daily
assents to many others that are proposed to him.
However, people in general expect leravourable re-
sult from the approaching session, and litter them-
selves that entire harmony will prevail between the
(tortes and the Government.

Great activity is observed in the offices of the
several Ministers.
The interest of the loan is regularly paid in the
capital, amidst all the embarrassments which the
Government experiences at this moment.
ANC•NA, S.. PT. 3.—We learn from Naples that
the Carbonari implicated in the conspiracy of Mont-
forte, which began the revolution of Naples, are to
be immediately brought to trial. It is supposed that
43 individuals will be condemned to death.

Important news is still expected from the coast of
the Morea. The Greek fleet, 90 sail strong, has
appeared there, with fire-ships built in America.
The expedition of Chourschid Pacha Sin the Morels
appears to have failed; he has even evacuated Co-
rinth, and is retreating on Tircala and Larissa.
Napoli di Romania is still in the hands of the Turks,
the English vessels which were to transport the
garrison not having arrived.
FRONTIERS or MOLDAVIA, Ago. 28.—The Turk-
ish troops have set fire to Toksan, a considerable
town of Walachia. Some Greeks have been assas-
sinatt.d at Bucharest. The Hospodars who have
come back to this town have written to their emi-
grant friends, advising them not to return. The
Hospodar of Walachia was to leave Constantinople
on the 20th of August.
