FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS, SEPT. 2-I.—A letter. from Poictiers says
-,—" The persons under sentence of death in the
affair of Saumur are still together in the same
dungeon, with the exception of Senechault, for
whose pardon application has been made. From
the first night collars of iron were put on them,
and chains of iron that pressed so violently on
the legs, that Berton, not being able longer to
support them, protested to the Prefect. This
Magistrate went to the dungeon,_ ordered the
collars to be taken off, and lighter chains to be
put en their feet.
"The Live condemned eat together, and live at
common charge. Berton pays for Jaglin, and
has also sent money to the mother of the latter,
and has besides distributed money in the prison
to other prisoners under sentence.
Sauge, in spite of his being 63 years of age,
chews much firmness, and incessantly encourages
his companions. Be commonly, after dinner,
sings songs, which they all repeat in chorus. As
for Berton, he has not wavered for a single in-
stant."

It has been said that prayers for pardon have
been addressed to the king by the wives of.
Senechault and Cafe. The sister of Jaglin is
also come to Paris to implore for the pardon of
'ber brother.—(ConstitutionneL)
A letter from Strasburgh, of Sept. 19, says—
"hi the Sitting of the Council of War to-day,
Lieutenant-Col. Caron and the Sieur Roger have
appeared for the first time; their Council urged
reasons against the competence of the Council—
first, from their want of authority to try offences
such as the accused were charged with ; second,
from their having no jurisdiction over the persons
of the accused. The protest was rejected. The
•accused were then interrogated, and witnesses
examined. It is extremely difficult to get ad-
mission into the hall in which the Council sit, be-
,cause only 21 spectators are allowed to enter;
when that number is in the hall no others are
allowed to come in."—(ldem.)
A telegraphic dispatch from Strasburgh, dated
- Sept. 23, announces that Caron has been unani-
mously condemned to death.
Roger, acquitted of erzbauchage (decoying the
-soldiery from their duty) by five votes against
two, and of being accessary to embauchage, by
-four votes to three, has been delivered over to
the King's Procureur at Colmar.—(Etoile.)
The Gazette Universelle de Lyons, of the 20th,
corrects in the following.manner the note which
it had published the day before on the closing of
a Masonic Lodge in the, same town :-
44 It is not, we hear, as a Masonic Lodge, that
'the Society called the Memphis Society has been
closed, and that its papers, registers, lists, &c.
have been seized ; it is because this Association
followed the rites of Illisraim, which is not
acknowledged by the Great'East of France, and
is not authorised by the Government."
The same Paper announces that M. Bellart,
.Procureur-General of the Royal Court of Paris,
-has been at Lyons since the 18th.
They write from Rouen, that the deplorable
-event which consumed the pyramid of the Ca-
. thedral, is still so present to men's minds, that
yesterday, at half past seven in the evening, the
bell having announced another fire, fear seized
all minds. M. Picard, the Mayor's Adjunct, the
Commissaries of Police, the soldiery, the engine
men, and a crowd of people, went to the street
-des Charettes, where the first signs of this fatal
,scourge had already disappeared.
Fnobt THE LECIi, SEPT. 16.—A commercial
!Jetter,,which has this instant arrived from Venice,
of the 11th September, informs us, that a very
,numerous Greek fleet had doubled the southern
.point of the Morea, going towards Cape Papa
and the Gulf of Lepanto, to attack and destroy,
,:if possible, the Turkish fleet which is stationed
',there.
• If the reports of persons worthy of credit may
be believed, the Turkish fleet is in a very un-
favourable position, and may be easily destroyed
If the Greeks act with their usual skill, and make
nse of their fire vessels, of which they have a
.great number..
We have also received from some ports of the
Adriatic very recent news from Greece, up to
the 24th of August, and several circumstances
,are explained which, till now, were very obscure.
We 'may rely more confidently on the correct-
ness of this news, because it fully confirms what
Ave heard eight days ago, and furnishes us with
`Nery accurate notions of the state of affairs in
*Greece.

The Provisional Government has lately shewn
great and energetic resolution.; and it is far from
,being dissolved,' as the Austrian Observer has
said. The resistance which it organised in the
-Peloponnesus, when invaded, was so great, that
At was saved when the Turks regarded it. as
already conquered. The levies were made with
_great rapidity and with good will, particularly
-in the interior and in the mountains. They were
organized in all haste at Tripolizza, and the arms
the Government successively procured were di-
vided among them. The brave Colocotroni, the
Commander-in-Chief of all the troops in the
Morea, gained two victories in succession, in
consequence of which the remainder of the
Turks retreated towards the Gulf of Lepanto
And the Isthmus. On the 21st, the Greeks were
-again masters of the citadel and town of Corinth;
the former could not sustai❑ from wanting large
Artillery.
Ou the other'hand, it is certain that a Turkish
garrison is still in Napoli' di Romania, the prin-
-cipal fortress of the Morea. This place is
blocked, up both by sea and land. The Com-
mander concluded a convention at the beginning
-of June, by which he agreed to, give up the
place if he was not succoured before three
_months expired ; on their part, the Greeks pro-
mised to furnish subsistence to the garrison
during this space of time, which was effected till
now without any difficulty. In this state of
; things it may be expected that this fortress will
~.be obliged to surrender.
A numerous Greek corps is still in Thessaly
..and another in Livadia ; both are operating on

the rear of the Turks, who, however, have a'
strong corps in the neighbourhood of Larissa.
Prince Maurocordato embarked on July 31 at
Missotonghi, but dispatches arriving the same
day from the Moreq, Maurocordato returned to
Missolonglii, and repaired to Vrachorey, which
is at present .the ce►►tre of operations in the
western part of Greece.
