SECOND DISPATCH.

" The sovereign decrees of his Majesty of the 17th and 21st
of this mouth and the orders communicated to me by your
Excellency, Sated the 25th, have atready been executed. As
soon as Don Georges Bessieres, and the men in his suite, had
been taken by the troops under my command, which had been
in pursuit of them, they brought them to my bead-quarters,
where they arrived yesterday at nine in the evening, as I have
already had the honour to announce to you by my dispatch of
yesterday. The decree of his Majesty was immediately made
known to the Chief, and the seven accomplices of his crime,
whose names and rank are subjoined. All the spiritual aids
of our holy and consoling religion were administered to-them,
and when they bad confessed theirightful crime of which they
had been guilty, they were shot. The execution took place
this day, the 26th, at half-past eight in the morning. They
died like Christians, repenting their high treason, and praying
to God that their punishment might serve as an example, and
prevent the recurrence of a similar attempt. The troops of the
Royal Guard, infantry and cavalry, and a squadron of the Ist
Regiment of the line (formerly Santiago), which was at my
head-quarters, have been witnesses of this execution, and have
defiled before the dead bodies:

The death of Paul Iglesias has produced among the people
of Madrid opposite sensations. When they saw arrive, drawn
on a hurdle, a man whom they had known as one of the most
flourishing citizens of the capital, a general sentiment of pity
was manifested. But Iglesias mounted the scaffold, and hay-
ing already the cord round his neck, asked to speak. " Spa-
niards, my brothers," said he, " I have been devoted to liberty ;
I die like a Christian ; I have received the aids of religion ;
pray for me. 1 die for my country, for you all ; learn from me
to die with courage." Here the executioner threw himself
off with him, and Iglesias, already suspended, cried with aloud
voice " Liberty or Death." At this unexpected incident cries
of " Long live the King" burst from all parts. In the midst
of these shouts an exclamation of an opposite character was
heard. It was with difficulty that the individual from whom it
proceeded was saved -frotn, the hands of the people.
The 'loyalist Volunteers of Salamanca have voted an address
to the King, to solicit from him the re-establishment of the
Holy Office, in order to secure public tranquillity in Spain.
PARIS, SEPT. s.—The Journal des Debate repeats to-day,
knowingly, a false statement, which we have already contradict-
ed. We have never said that France could not blockade the
ports of At. Domingo because England would not suffer it.—
Such an insult to the national honour cati only be imagined
by a Journal which lauds every day the foreigner at the expence
of his own country. Thank Heaven, every body knows that
our respect for France is a little greater Miff that of the writer
of the Journal des Debate, for with us France does not date
from 1789. The phrases which the Journal des Debate refers to
belonged to an article in the Memorial Bordelais, which is
known by its opposition to the Ministry, and which incessantly
republishes the articles of the Journal des Debate. Individuals
from Paris have already traversed the great cities, to purchase
the indemnity which will be coming to the colonists of
St. Domingo, or to offer their assistance in obtaining for them
their proportions. They even insinuate that they have a com-
mission from the French Government to make these pur-
chases. These individuals are without doubt the same parties
who wished to treat for the indemnity due to the emigrants.—
We consider it our duty to apprise the colonists of St. Domingo
that the Administration will, no doubt, take the same precau-
tions in this case as were adopted in favour of the emigrants, to
ensure them full payment without expence, and without the
intervention of a class of men, who, ider the pretext of pro-
tecting their interests, seek but to turn to their own profit the
indemnity reserved for misfortune. It is to be remembered
that while a re-action was made to depress the French funds, by
announcing that an ordinance for re-establishing the censorship
was to appear the next day in the Moniteur, in England tile
re-action for the fall which took place on the Exchance, on
Friday, was founded on a report spread abroad that a French
fleet had been seen steering for Cuba, to take possession of
that Island. This fleet is that which appeared at St. Domingo,
and which proceeds towards the Azores, to manceuvre before
it returns to France.
