inerly editor of the Patriot of Alsace,
From Poitiers we learn, of the date of Sept. 4,
that it is no longer doubted that Col. Mix has
been suddenly seized with mental alienation,and
on the following occasion :
Mad. Aliz, who is at Poitiers, goes every day
to visit him, and by a piece of forgetfulness on
the part of the gaoler, was with him when the
carriage arrived to conduct the prisoners to the
Court. Col. Alix was called, and went down,
but his young daughter threw herself about him,
accompanied him down stairs, and exclaimed as
he mounted in the carriage, " Oh, my father !
what a wretched carriage—where are you going ?
You had better stay with us. These innocent
accents went to his heart, a flood of tenderness
overpowered his mind in a moment, and he has
not since recovered his reason.

Nevertheless he was conducted into Court—
his wandering eyes are the only sign he has yet
given of his miserable state ; but it may be every
moment feared that he will disturb the proceed-
ings of the Court in a manner which will produce
different effects on the persons who are present.
Every morning the infantry who are to mono:.
guard at the prison, and at the Palais de Justice,
are made to load their arms in the public square.
A third duel has taken place with the law
student who had previously wounded an Officer
of Dragoons. The young man was wounded in
the neck, but the wound is not dangerous.

The Courier du Bus Rhin contains the follow

ing article :--
6.L.Frankfort, Aug. 28.—A report prevails on
" our Exchange, that a courier has brought Intel-
" ligence that a part of the Austrian troops in
" Italy had received orders to march, and that
46 they were destined to traverse the South of
44 France, and reinforce the Sanitary Cordon of
" the Pvrenees. This news caused an immediate
" fall in the public funds.
The Journal de Frankfort says nothing of this
report ; our.correspondents also say nothing of it,
and we therefore regard this news of the Courier
da Das Rhin as having been fabricated.—(Consti-
baionnel.)

A Journal of this day contains a letter from
a Chef de Bataillon commanding a company of
the Voltigeurs of the Royal Guard, the object of
-which is to open a subscription for the mother of
SIT Officer of the Spanish Guard recently executed
at Madrid. It is proposed to secure to this un-
happy mother the pension which she received
from her son. The surplus of the subscription
will serve, it is added, to support the Spanish

Officers who are the victims of their devotion,
rind will give them the means of rejoining the
Army of the Faith.
The letter concludes thus.—" I profit by the
present occasion of being the interpreter of the
sentiments of all my comrades, to inform the
Officers of the Spanish Guards, that they may
present themselves to our regiments, that they
will he welcomed like brothers, and receive all
the assistance it is in our power to give them.
May we soon be in a situation to share their glory
and their dangers, in assisting them to deliver
Spain from the monsters who govern it."—(lbid.)
This night, after pronouncing the sentence
of the COEirt of Assize of Paris, Monsieur,
the President, informed the condemned, that
they had three days to consider whether they
would appeal. After which Dories said, "Mr.
President, after the impartiality which you have
shewn in your summing up, as well as in the
'course of the proceedings, we take the liberty of
requesting that we (the condemned) may not be

separated. Let us be placed in dungeons (des
Cachets) if necessary, but let us not be loaded

with irons."

As the Bens (Vannes were conducting the
prisoners from the Court, Buries .saluted several
~)f the advocate who were engaged in his case,

and exclaimed, "We are innocent! France will
judge us t"
We learn from Poitiers that the number of
strangers who flock to that town is very consi-
derable, and that there are even to he remarked
some suspicious countenances. M. de Roche-
plate, son of the deputy of that name, a lieuten-
ant in the regiment of Carabineers, has been
slightly wounded by a liberal, but he has been
revenged by an officer of dragoons, who has in
his turn desperately wounded four individuals,
who are said to be law students.—(La Quo-
tidienne.)
PAtus, SEPT. 7.—We find the following news
detailed in the .Spcctaleur Oriental :--
We have seen a private' letter, to which we
give full credit, in which it is positively stated
that 'Napoli de Romania has capitulated ; that
she had opened her gates to the Greeks, who
had immediately furnished it with abundance of
provision, and that it subsequently fell into the
power of the Turks, who had closed the gates of
the town, and rendered themselves masters of the
few Greeks who had remained in it.

The Turkish squadron,consistina, of one hundred
vessels of war of different sizes; have shaped their
course within a few days for the Alorea.—(Jour-
nal des Debats.) _ _ _

A work entitled, " An Historical Relation of
the Events which have taken place at Colmar,
and in the surrounding Towns and Communes, on
the 2d and 3d of July, 1821, published by M.
Kcechlin, Deputy from the Upper'lthine," gives
rise at present to judicial proceedings. A Com-
mission of Inquiry has just been addressed by one
of the Judges of Instruction of the Tribunal of
the Seine, to the Judge of Instruction at Colmar,
for the purpose of issuing a warrant of citation
against M. Kcechlin, in order to interrogate him
relative to this publication.—(Journal des llamas.)

COURT OF ASSIZES OF. POITIERS.
SITTING OF SEPT,'S._

The Court was very crowded to hear the Procureur-General,
whose speech occupied the whole day.
The PROCUREUIt-GENERAL began by dilating on the
goodness of the government of the King, and the enormity of
the conspirators. I-1 e observed, that conspiracies had been or-
ganized at Nantes, Brest, Saumur, and Befort; of which none
but that at Saumur had been carried into complete effect. He
contended that the seizure of the Gend'arnies at Thouars, the
marching in and summoning Saumur, were sufficient proofs of
the war levied against the King's authority, and of the design
to subvert the government. After recapitulating the known
facts, he continued—" Gentlemen, is this conspiracy merely
the work of Berton and his principal accomplices; is it on their
conceptions that it has been contrived—or rather, are the events
of Thouars and Saumur the result of a vaster plot ? Berton
and his accomplices are the agents of more powerful conspira-
tors, who conceal themselves. • When Berton, on the 13th of
January, addressed the Baron Rapatel, he did not dissemble
that the purpose was to overthrow the Government. Such a
speech from the mouth of a 'Marechal de Camp, a contributor
to the Minerve, and addressed to a Colonel commanding a Re.
giment, would sufficiently attest that this Marechal de Camp
was the agent of a faction, even if other facts did not support
this truth. But it is proved by judicial documents, that at the
time when Berton entered into this explanation at St. Malo
conspiracies were carried on at Saumur, Nantes, and Brest ;
that attempts at seduction were made on the Regiment of
Hussars of the North, and on the 45th Regiment of Infantry
in garrison at Rochelle, and on other Regiments in garrison
at Strasburgh ; in fine, that a great conspiracy had been con-
trived against the State, which was to operate by several partial
conspiracies.
" But who could have so well- instructed Berton, if all these
conspiracies did not proceed from the same source—if all these
movements were not submitted to a single and uniform impul-
sion ? Besides, Gentlemen, Berton would not have been mad
enough to have proposed to march on St. Maloes, and then to
get possession of Thouars and Samur, if he had not been sure
that these movements would have been seconded, and that a
stronger power would have sheltered him from the vengeance
of the law. Whatever trust a conspirator may have in his own
strength, whatever levity we attribute to him, unless he was
struck with absolute madness, we must suppose that Berton,
with the means he had, or even with greater ones, would never
have thought of establishing at Thouars his de facto govern-
ment, and of marching on Saumur, unless he had reason to be-
lieve that he could maintain his sad and ignominious conquest.
Thus lie declared at Heureux that the movement was general :
thus he told Madame de la Ville-Vauge that measures had
been taken, and the secret perfectly kept. Lastly, Berton has
himself declared to you that he was the agent of the Knights
of Liberty, and that this was a most powerful faction.
" What, Gentlemen, are these Knights of Liberty, who in
all the conspiracies discovered hitherto, have been agents of
the faction that would subvert the Government ? The Knights
of Liberty are a secret society, whose object is to annihilate
the aristocratic principle which forms one of the springs of
our Government ; their existence is a war declared against old
families and great proprietors by new men, and those who have
nothing." -
After describing the statutes of the society, the Procureur
General calls to mind that Berton, speaking of the provisional
govornnient, named Lafayette, Lafitte, B. Constant, Voyer
d'Argenson ; that Ledein named Lafayette, B. Constant and
Fov ; that the names of Lafayette, B. Constant, Foy, Manuel
and Lafitte were mentioned to Wolfel when they wanted to
corrupt him, that he might seduce the carbineers of Monseur.
Who were to take command of the armies according to what
Delon said to Mairet ? Generals Lafayette and Foy. What
names are mentioned in all conspiracies? The same names?
But is it only by their speeches that these men are-indebted
for having their names invoked in all conspiracies or are
they voluntary accomplices of these crimes ?' Undoubtedly,
men who from the Tribune appeal to the energy of the
nation, to insurrection, to popular rage ; men who in the face
of France cry that she has received with repugnance the family
of her Kings. These men are exposed, however innocent their
intentions, to see malefactors aria themselves with their names
to commit the most execrable crimes.

The PROCUREU n-GENTERAT. proceeded in nearly the same
strain, and observed that it was after the appearance of M. B.
Constant at Saumur, that the plot was atranged. He also argued
that, notwithstanding the recent declarations of Baudrier to the
contrary, he had seen M. Lafayette. After having observed that
Berton was in correspondence with the persons who were pointed
out as the heads of the Provisional Government, the Procureur.
General said " If the Throne had been overturned, Great God !
into what hands would the power have fallen ?"
The PROCUREUR-GENERAL concluded in a style of un-
disguised invective against the Members of the Chamber
of Deputies whom he had named.

Scmr,rN, AUG. 2.—Ati• English frigate has en-
tered into the port of Salonica, for the purpose of
informing the inhabitants that forty Greek ves-
sels of war were approaching for the purpose of
bombarding it.
Travellers who arrive from Larissa state, that
Mehemet, the Bey of Castori, a man equally re-
spected by Christians and by Turks, has been
made prisoner by the Greeks. The Bishop of Cas-
tori has given strong testimony of Mehemet's gene-
rous conduct towards the Christians placed under
his authority, and he is about to be set at liberty
npon paying a reasonable ransom.—(Gazette
d'Aagsbvurg.)
CORFU, AUG. 3.—The darkness with which
the recent events in Thessaly and Liyadia were
covered by vague reports begins to 'disappear.—
The Seraskier, Chourschid, setting out from Jan-
mina with only 2,000 men, collected at Larissa
all the reinforcements which had been sent from
the borders of the Danube and marched to Zeit-
toni, at the head of nearly 40,000 men. When
he arrived at this town he detached 12,000 men,
under the command of his Kihiya, recently no-
minated Paella of the Morea, towards -Neo-
pa tra.
Chourschid, who advanced -at the head of
25,000 men, was completely defeated and escap-

ed with a small number of men; but the troops
commanded by his Kihaya, penetrated across the
mountains by a path little used, and therefore
not guarded. They arrived towards the middle
of July at Salona; from whence they intended to
pass into the Peloponnesus. Fourteen Austrian
vessels, which had been lying in the Gulf of
Lepanto for some time, to carry the Turks
across, conveyed them to Vasilica. At first
the Turks directed their march towards Co-
rinth ; but being repulsed by the fire of the
cidadel, they took the road to Napoli de Romania.

I n the mean time Mauromichale and Coloco-
trone, after uniting their forces, marched against
the enemy, whom they encountered near Argos.
The Turks were defeated- and pursued to saint
George, a town situated between Mount Poly-
phegus and Anelepsia. In this long retreat, of
six leagues, the Turks lost 350 horses, the greater
part of their baggage, and the half of their men;
the remainder are blockaded in Saint George.—
In Eperius the Turks experienced a considerable
check on the the 27th of July, before Panari, on
which they had made an attack.
CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 10.—The birth of a
third son to the Sultan was this day announced
by a discharge of artillery. ,
A new naval expedition is fitting out with
great activity.
A II is quiet here, but the plague has manifested
itself in the suburbs, and twenty six individuals
have been removed to the lazaretto.
The recall of Chourschid Pacha from the com-
mand in Thessaly is the subject of conversation.
AIX-LA-CIIA PELLE, SEPT. 2.—The different
societies formed in Germany in favour of the
Greeks are actively engaged in promoting the
object of their institution. They are now occu-
pied in enrolling several corps d'armee, who will
successively embark for Greece. This organi-
zation will be made by companies of 100 men
each, who- will - immediately proceed to the
nearest port. They will consist of artillery and
light infanty, and those only will be enlisted
who have already served.
As soon as the first corps is raised, it will be
placed under the command of Cepholas, of
Olypia, a Greek, who formerly served in Ger-
many. As has been before announced, all the
levies will receive their definitive organization in
Switzerland. They will be marched in detach-
ments and without arms to the place of their
embarkation, and arms will be forwarded in
waggons to the appointed port.
VIENNA, AUG. 27.—According to accounts
from Trieste, of the 19th inst., an Austrian ship had arrived
there on that day from Smyrna, which on the 31st of July, fell
in, near Patras, with the Turkish fleet, which quitted its station
off Tenedos, about the middle of last month (see the Austrian
Observer, No. 228, of lfith August). The fleet consisted of
about 80 sail, amongst which there were twelve sail of the line
and frigates.—(Austrian Observer, Aug. 27.)
In the same number of the Austrian Observer there is an ex-
tremely long article (nearly eight columns) on the affairs of
Portugal and Brazil. It gives an unfavourable picture of the
state of affairs in Portugal, passes in review the measures pro-
posed in the Cortes to prevent the entire loss of Brazil, dwells
on the inadequacy and absurdity of the plan proposed by the
Committee specially appointed for the purpose, and observes on
the " pride and arrogance of the predominantparty in the Cortes,
which will not allow them to consider of any conciliatory mea-
sures by which the breach that is so much dreaded might, per-
haps, be arrested or rendered less prejudicial."
Towards the conclusion of this article, is the following pas-
sage :
" The writers in the English Opposition Journals, frequently
speak with much satisfaction of the profbund tranquillity pre-
vailing in Portugal, and declare it to be an irrefragable proof
of general content with the present order of things. It might
be difficult for them to find any trace of what they call content,
in any class (not excepting the party which for the moment
prevails), in any condition, in any family, in Portugal ; but
the tranquillity which we have, in fact, lately enjoyed, is the
fruit of unconditional submission to a fate voluntarily brought
on ourselves, and which, however burthensome it is, or may
become, cannot be averted by ordinary means. The King,
for reasons winch nobody is called upon to fathom, has car-
ried this principle of resignation to the utmost limit of
human patience and self-denial: the nation had nothing left but
to follow his example. The Revolution must be borne, though
the time is passed when people thought it might be loved ; for
that it has produced any advantage to the country is considered
as a fable even by the few who are compelled to say so. The
all-powerful and Supreme Cortes understand the work of de-
struction as well as the artisans of revolution ; but they seemed
disposed to leave to future generations the business of building
up again.—Without curing any of the old diseases (and Portu-
gal certainly laboured under many), their desperate remedies
have produced new ones that penetrate to the very vitals. The
ruin of the great families has not enriched those below them,
but with the stagnation of agriculture and the want of work,
produced provety in all. Trade has declined on all sides ; the
sources of the revenue dry up ; the national debt has increased
since the 24th of August; 1820, by ton millions of crusadoes
(about a million sterling) ; all intercourse with foreign coun-
tries is diminishing, even the most important, that with England,
is threatened with manifold dangers. The foreign possessions,
which have been long the main source of national prosperity,
are exposed to the attempts of the first adventurer who shall
raise his standard in them ; and the only great result of two
year's promises and hopes has been the defection of Brazil. If
such is our present situation, is the prospect of the future cal-
culated to inspire satifaction ? But the future is involved in dark
and threatening clouds. The Cortes have provided that the pre-
sent Constitution shall appear equally doubtful to its friends and
its enemies. There have formerly been dreams of Republican
Monarchies—of republics with monarchical forms—of pyra-
mids, having for their board base the power of people, and
for their summit the Royal Crown. But when, as is here the
case, the pyramid is reversed, and the whole weight of an elec-
tive Oligarchy is placed above the Royal power, pressed below
and confined to a narrow compass, how shall so unnatural an
edifice stand In fact, a conviction is universally prevalent
that it will fall to pieces at the very first shock ; and that even
on the most favourable supposition, it will not outlive for a
single day the fall of the neighbouring edifice (the melancholy
archetype of ours), which similar want of proportion irrevo-
cably condemns to similar ruin ; and from this conviction there I
arises a general sentiment of insecurity, of desponding and ap-
prehension, which is pourtrayed in every countenance, and
purposely or involuntarily pervades every conversation. If
these are symptoms of content, the London Opposition Jour-
nals have truly painted the state of public opinion in Portugal."
Zueticn, Aua. 26.—The Committee appointed to consider
the commercial intercourse of Switzerland with all other coun-
tries, has presented two Reports to the Diet, one by Senator
Hirzel, in the name of the Majority ; the other by M. Brawn,
who alone forms the Minority. -
The first recommends a limitation of the free trade with those
countries which adopt the prohibitory system, and proposes a
Tariff of import duties on produce and manufactures. The
other Report is diametrically opposed to this project, which it
counsels to reject as ruinous in its consequences.
The Diet has referred the matter back to the Committee,
and desired to re-consider the matter, and present a new Re-
port.---(Frankfort Papers, Sept. 2.)
NUREMBERG, A u G. io,—We learn from Berlin, that
within these four or five weeks, the prices of raw silk have
risen 50 per cent. because the crop has turned out indifferent,
and the small stock in hand has been bought up by Italian
mercantile houses, so that a further rise way be expected.—
Thus a considerable advance on the prize of silk goods seems
inevitable.—(Nuremberg Correspondent, Aug. 331.)

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 5._-we find the following passage in the

" The preservation of peace is now considered as beyond all
I'
1 doubt; the resolution taken by the Russian Cabinet rests on

such a solid foundation, that if the evacuation of the two prin-
cipalities should still be delayed, from some cause which is not
foreseen, Russia would nevertheless remain immovable in its
determination. The opening of the Congress is fixed for the
month of September. It will turn its attention not only to the
affairs of the East, but also to those of the States of the West.
Never was there a more important or a more delicate subject of
discussion."

[EXTRACTS OF PRIVATE LETTERS.]

" Como, AUGUST 23, 1822.—That delightful
seat, the residence of the late Queen CAROLINE,
on the Lake of Como, has been lately purchased
by M. MARIETTI, banker at Milan, for the sum
of one million two hundred thousand francs.—
The improvements which her Majesty had made
on the estate during her residence is estimated at
six thousand pounds. Since her Majesty's re-
treat, t.Ather BLRGAMI nor any of his family
have since appeared ; he and his family are here
held in the greatest detestation by the inha-
bitants."

" N ILAN, AUGUST 26.—The fashionable season
here has just commenced ; the opera opened for
the first time this season on Saturday night, and
was attended by the major part of the most dis-
tinguished personages in this city. The Opera
itself was one of the worst performances I ever
witnessed. There was not a character that
seemed to possess any degree of talent or merit,
bnt the ballet was one of the best, and fully
compensated for the incompetency of the per-
formers of the Opera. In order to give you an
idea of the number of distinguished personages
resident here at present, there were yesterday
afternoon on the Rursal, upwards of two thousand
carriages promenading. BONAPA RTE embellished
this city very much ; the elegant entrance and
other magnificent buildings which he caused to
be executed, will be standing monuments to his
memory."
