MADRID, SEPT. 9.—There is no indication of any
thing to interrupt the public tranquillity of the ca-
pital at present. The enthusiasm foi the new sys-
tem increases in proportion to the tacles which
are raised against it, and neither t mgress of OM
rortlism in Catalonia, •aublep an
nor the alarming reports w
pleasure in spreading, of an a foreign in-
vasion, can diminish this entbstaliasm:ma4 thmineaks.l

Malevolence has spread a report, that the King
Lad refused to convoke the Comes: there appears to
have been no foundation fetthis repott, and there is
more reason to believe thee his Majesty acceded to
the measure with the same indifference that he daily
assents to many others that are pliposed to him.
However, people in general expect a favourable re-
sult from the approaching session, and latter them-
,selves that entire harmony will prevail between the
Cortes and the Government. •
Great activity is observed in thfriffices 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 usonsiint •
r ANCONA, SEPT. 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
14.9 individuals will be condemned to math.
Important news is still expected frail thM coast of
the Morea. The Greek fleet, 90 ma. strong, has
appeared there, with fire-ships built in America. ,
The expedition of Chsurschid Pacha in the Mores
appears to have failed; he has even evacuated Co-
rinth, and is retreating on Thalia 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.
FRONTICRS OF MOLDAVIA, A VG. 28.—The Turk-
ish troops have set tire to Toksan, a considerable
town of Walachia. Some Greeks have been asaas-
aiStatt.d at Bucharest. The Hospodara who have
come back to this town have written to their emi-
grant friends, advising them not to return. The
Hoepodar of Walachia was to leave Constantinople
on the 20th of August.

PARIS, SEPT. 24.—His Grace the Duke of Wel-
lington set off on Sunday morning for Vienna. His
health compels him to trav‘l 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 Fn.
reign Affairs, it appears, will not set out on Lie re.
turn to Paris until the beginning of October.
A letter from Lyons states, that on the 13th inst.
two pollee commissaries want to the Masonic Lodge,
called Memphis, at Pilate, and took away all the
lists, papers, registers, &c. of the Society. This
was done in consequence of an order front the Mi-
nister dthe Interior.
We have received the fidlowing 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.
After thirteen hours' fighting, the latter were
beaten, and put to Sight. A column of their army,
about 500 strong, succeeded in getting into Ye-
nasque ; the Trappist pursued them thither, and
summoned the garrison to surrender in twenty-four
hours, otherwise lie would 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'Eroles, having been
attacked in the neighbourhood of Urge!, had routed
the Constitutionalists, and taken 300 prisoners,Whom
he had marched to Seo."
CORVNNA,Serr. 4 —M. the Duke de l'lnfantado
arrived here yesterday, to give a new proof of his
obedience to the orders 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. _

repeat the
live the

Extract of a letter from a Liberal at Valencia,
dated Sept. 4:—" The infamous Gen. Elio has, at
length, suffered the pain of death (by the garotte.)
His execution took place this morning, at I t o'clock,
atter having been publicly divested of his rank and
honours. The General was not condemned on ac-
count of his conduct as Captain-General, bat in
consequence of the revolt of the cannoniers who
occupied the tort of Valencia, on the 30th of May.
Being tried before an ordinary Court-Martial, on
the 2d of June, at which General Villa-Campa 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 of War to be revised, was not only
approved, gist the Auditor demanded its immediate
execution, conformably to the martial law of the
17th April, 1821. The arrival of the Brigadier
Espina, 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 scatlidd. The
people maintained that demeanour which becomes
an heroic nation, and accompanied the culprit to the
6c3tti)ld, with shouts of—" To death with Elio! his
blood will cement the constitutional edifice.' "
Another letter tioin Valeacia, written in a dif-
ferent spirit, states—" The scatlidd on which Gen.
Liu was strangled at Valencia, on the 4th instant,
was erected close to a delightful garden which be-
longed to him when he was all puwerful in that
to%%n. 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 times
distinguished tin. its violence, affirms that Gen. Elio,
previously to walking to the beaffold, knelt down
:old asked pardon of the Authorities, who were pre-
sent, for all the mischief he had occasioned—this is
%%holly false. Above twelve thousand persons were
witnesses of the firmness which lie shoved on this
sad occasion, and of the last words he pronounced.
Hie General protested his innocence in the face of
('lid and man; he declared that lie had only carried
tine execution the orders which lie had received from
the Government during the period of his command;
that lie was utterly uneonnected with the revolt of
the cannoniers; mid, filially, that he begged of God
to pardon his iuurderers, us he himself forgave them.
wi-h,' lie added, that my blood may he the last
-which is shed iu Spain. Spain will one day do jus.

BRUSSELS. SEPT. 22.—A British Cabinet Mes-
senger passed through this city last night on his way
from Vienna to London. A Russian Courier from
London to Vienna has also passed through.
His Royal Highness Prince Augustus of Prussia
arrived at Frankfort on the 16th. Letters from that
city say, that in consequence of a request made to
tile King of Prussia by Prince Hardeuberg, the
Chancellor of State, his Majesty has been pleased to
dispense with the attendance of that Minister at the
Congress of Verona.
The accounts front Rome say, that Cardinal Gun-

PRICF. 9fd.

BAYONNE, SEPT. 16.—We have no certain news .
of Quesada since the affair of the 7th, but the return
to France of eke Apostolic Junta of Navarre, which
was at Ochagavia, as well as of several other indi-
viduals, seems to shew that Gen. Espinosa has dis..
lodged the Defendtin of the Faith from the moun-
tains of Navarre, with the exception of trail, which
he reconnoitred on the 13th with 1,500 men.
!rum, Sari. B.—M. de Pouqueville, the Consul
of France in the Mores, arrived on the 6th at Milan
Irons Florence. The noble conduct of this faithful
'and intrepid servant of his Most Christian Majesty
has obtained bite the Shoat flattering reception from
the Ministers, Ambassadors, and Censuls, of his
Majesty at Naples, Florence, and Milan. The Pore •
having met lain/ lit the Villa Albatti, designed to
honour with his benediction the preserver of so
many thousands of Christians, and it is not doubted
that if his voice could be heard at the Congress of
Verona, it would induce the Sovereigns to interest
themselves in the canoeist the Greeks. M. Pouqe-
vile is said to be going to Marseilles.
BATONS'S, Sari. 19.—Sir William A'Court, set
out this morning for Spain ; it is thought he will
sleep at lrun, where preparations are making to give
him a most brilliant reception.
The military preparations continue without inter-
ruption.; every day there arrive powder waggons,
gun carriages, cartridges, tents, corn, Sic. but hi-
therto no troops; we are therefore still in the same
uncertainty respecting the object of these particu-
lars; but the general opinion is, that they are merely
Intended to alarm our neighbours, the Spaniards,
Mute so fai there is nothing that indicates the en-
trance of the troops of the pretended Sanitary cordon
into 'Spain, whose numbers would not suffi:v to oc-
cupy Guipascoa. The French soldiers, besides, me
not animated with any eagerness to make part of an
expedition of this description.
On the 16th General Espinosa had an aetioo with
the troops of Irani, which, after losing four killed,
and thirty wounded, declined the combat.
The Junta of Navarre, the members of which are
at this moment at Bayonne, have lately caused pro-
clamations to be circulated in Navarre, inviting the
inhabitants to enlist under the banners of the I. aith,
and to obey the legitimate government of the King,
established at Urgel. It is said that Equoia is called
to the Regency at Urgel, and that he has also re-
ceived orders to suspend from his functions Colonel
Abren, who is to give an account of the large sums
that have passed through his hands within the last
twelve months, for the purchase of arms, ammuni-
tion, &c. The Spanish refugees at Bayonne loudly
blame this Colonel, whose malpractices have been
denounced to the Junta at Urgel.
MADRID, SIFT. 11.—It is affirmed that various
General Officers and Colonels, who are quartered at
Valencia, have just been ordered to go into exile,
as follows :
Lieut.-Generals--Perellos, to the Canaries; and
Conde de Calderon, to Ibiza.
Brigadiers—lbarra and Licerda, to Cents ; Ma-
ritnon, to Badujos; Garcia, to Ibiza; Matalenares,
to Manilla ; Gaxtelu, to Porto Rico: Valparda, to
Vigo: Barrer& and Delto, to Mahon.
Colonels—Novella, to Turitlit: and Anillo, to
Ibisia.

It is added that the Government has given
orders to investigate the conduct of Brigd. Peyeda,
who is stationed in therame place.
ST. Pk: EEREBURGH, SEPT. 6.—Capt. Wassiliew,
who commanded the two vessels who have just re-
turned from their voyage of discovery, has perforuwal
a great service to geography. He discovered in tht
Great Ocean a group of inhabited islands, passed
through BAring's Straits, and reached a higher la-
titude than Cook ; determined the true positian of
North Amerisa, from Icy Cap.y to the Peninsula of
Alaska, and found to the north of it another hill:L.
bited is:and.

Lord Ilarrowby lias signified to his M.tiesty his
desire to resign the Presidency of the Council. 11l
health is stated by the Noble Lord as his motive fur
wishing to retire from public life.
Extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyd's it
BUeillif Ayres, dated June '2 3 It is reported
that the island of Ciolue has surrendered to the
force which was sent against it by the Government
of Chili the eud of March."
