FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE•

VILI-IN A, JULY 18.—The last post from Con-
stantinople brings details of the death of the
Captain 'Paella and the destruction of his fleet.
it was in vain that the Greeks offered him battle
several times ; it was in vain that they sought to
attack his position, or to burn his fleet ; so when
they found it impossible to fight him openly, they
aesolvea to combine stratagem with courage. The
Naval Commanders of the Greeks held a Coun-
cil at Ipsara, at which they arranged the follow-
ing plan : they asked their men to volunteer :
more than two hundred presented themselves,
and swore upon the Cross either to execute the
projected enterprize, or to die gloriously. Forty-
eight were chosen by lot out of the two hun-
dred, as leaders ; they received the blessings of
their Priests previous to engaging in their gene-
:vas design.
The whole having been arranged, on the first
day of the feast of Bairam, a Greek frigate and
tive boats approached the Turkish line. They
hoisted foreign colours, and made
ar it t
appear
as if they . had come to take a p in the
feast. The two hundred heroes who passed
for French and English were well receiv- '
ed by the enemy, and they were allowed to
enter the harbour of Tschesma, and anchor in the
midst of the Turkish fleet ; but scarcely had they
arrived, when they began the execution of their
project. In a short time five ships of the line
were on fire ; the Admiral's ship, in flames,
- made for the harbour, to escape total destruc-
tion ; she was run ashore opposite Scio, and the
Captain Pacha was taken ashore in a dying state.
After this brilliant success, the two hundred
brave Greeks retired, without having sustained
any injury. It will be recollected that the whole
of the Turkish fleet was burnt in the same man-
ner, during the war between the Empress Cathe-
rine and the Porte, by the Greek Captain Lam-
pros. It is to be hoped that this great event will
secure the liberation of Greece. The Greeks
have celebrated it with the greatest religious
enthusiasm throughout the whole Archipelago.
They have ordered a fast of three day 3.
PARIS, JULY 428.-There are always enough
of men who convert their own wishes into reali-
ties. Thus, on the first news of the affairs of
Madrid, certain Journals announced the triumph
of the ,pretended defenders of the faith : and
General Morillo was their hero. Two days
after that, the very reverse of what they had so
pompously announced was the fact • Morillo then
became a Jacobin, a traitor, who ought, accord-
ing to these Journalists, to be branded with the
stamp of infamy. For the third time this same
General Morillo reinstates himself in the good
opinion of those who lavished on him the most
injurious expressions : they are informed, by a
letter from Toulouse, of the 22J, that the Counter-
Revolution had been triumphant at Madrid ; and
that it was Morillo who was at the head of the
Counter-Revolutionists, and cried " long live the
King, and no .more." " This excellent news,"
says the Quotidienne," came too slowly from
Toulouse to be inserted in the paper of the c29..d."
if one were to believe that Journal, it has
token only a few minutes to overturn all over
Spain the new order of things, which, during
more than two years, has gained many defenders
among those who were once its enemies. The
last news from Spain make no mention of an
event so extraordinary ; and which is moreover
so absurd as to contain its own refutation.—
if a counter-revolution had been effected at
Madrid, the first account of it would not
certainly have reached 'Paris by the way
of Toulouse. It was but yesterday that the
English Ambassador gave a 'diplomatic dinner to
the French and Foreign Ministers, at which no
mention was made of this important news. It
was not mentioned in the Chamber; the Madrid
Courier of the 18th said nothing of it, whence it.
may be naturally concluded that it cannot' be
true.—(Constitutionnel.)
'The Courier of the Loner Rhine (Strasburg)
contains the following paragraph :—" The se-
cond Council of War) held at Strasburg,
had a second sitting on the 22d, in the
affair of Messrs. Walther, Peugniet, and
'Prole, accused of forming part of a secret
society called Carbonari. The sang Mid and
decorum of these young officers in the presence of
a.heir accuser were remarked. Two remark-
le l incidents occurred in the course of the de-
ll es. The first, on the subject of the designa-
el
tioila of informer which one of the defenders of
the *acused had given M. Charvais, Lieutenant
ef tise4Oth regiment of the line, and who, after
giving Vs information, had entered the Royal
Guard Ell a Lieutenant, so that he could not
- give evide -M..-.
.. This designation applies to him
in strict 1,-g( \rase. The other- occasioned a
deliberatiin al :wConnsel, in the course of
which %camera ittAeltildren were ordered out of
the hail ;:*and'aMititnesses gave evidence to
some facts whieti`slqy seriously affected the mo-
rality and veracity the informer., Two short-
hand writers attendl
411 e debates in this pro-
(Ass. Is it that the.tle of the debates are to
be published ? Of t t .we are ignorant. Still
-we must congratulate ourselves on this occasion,
an the publicif:i of the proceedings, which we
with reason consider as the most faithful guar-
dians, as the palladium of our public liberties,
and as the guarantee of the citizens against op-
pression---against the hatred and the craft of
calumny.
P. S. (5 rasa.) After six hours and a half de-
liberation, the Council sentenced Walther and
Peuguiet to a fine of 16 francs each, and Trole
to three months solitary imprisournent.
So ends the' great conspiracy -which has made
30 much noise."—(Constitutionnet.)

COURT OF ASSIZE AT COLMAR.
Louis Francis de Tessieres, Sub-Prefect of Belfort, admitted,
on bis cross-examination, that he had refused to examine the
passports of Vernieres and Salveton, two of the accused, and
stated that he had sent them before the Juge d',lnstruction,
bocause the events of the evening threw a suspicion on all
strangers found at Belfort. He did not recollect whether
many. strangers arrived and departed during the period i
question. He gave orders to the gendarmerie to visit the inns,
and caused extracts to be delivered to him from the Register of
Travellers.
Sixth witness—M. Deatna.sure deposed that he knew no-
t
iling relative to the 'Alit. at Belfort. In answer to a question from the Promreur-General, he stated that he had heard

Alsace mentioned in tonversation as a rallying point of se-
dition, but he did not recollect whether he had ever heard Bel-
tort mentioned.
Seventh witness,—The Sieur Bessieres, marechal des logis of
the artillery of the guards, deposed that he had no knowledge
of the plot at Belfort, but had only heard it mentioned at Sau-
mur. A subaltern told him that a plot was forming which
would extend over the whole of France, and which was to break
out at Grenoble, Lyons, Strasburgh, Rochelle, and almost
all the principal towns of France. This subaltern offered to get
the witness made a Chevalier of Liberty, and added. " It you
wish to know more come to Lieutenant Delon's." I informed
the Colonel of these overtures, for I believed that the Corn-
mandant-Ureneral had himself a share in the conspiracy. On
eross-examination, he said he was told that the objects of the
Chevaliers of Liberty were to dethrone the King, and to place
Napoleon 11. on the throne ; and that there were great num-
bers of this Order affiliated in France and foreign countries ;
especially in Germany.
Eighth witness—Louis Bardeau, Mayor at Sermainagny,de-
posed that two young men came to the inn at their town, and
called for wine, which they offered to the witness.. Witness de-
clined partaking of their wine, but some other guests who ar-
rived afterwards werie not so scrupulous. He heard them ex-
claim, as they touched glasses (en trinqunnt ). " You are good
Alsatians.. Long live the brave 'Alsatians. Live our country."
In two hours they spent the sum of 18 francs in wine and
eatables. They appeared to be from 18 to 20 years of age, and
when they parted, one said to the other, " Henry, let as go ;
you knoW our rendezvous."
(It may be observed, that none of the accused have the name
of Henry.)
This is all I know, said the witness, respecting the events of
the Ist of January.
M. Antonin.—The witness has just deposed to a very grave
fact. He has told us that somebody drank the health of all good
Alsatians.
The President.—And the country.
Antonin.—Certainly, he drank to the country; a fact,
if possible, of a still graver nature. Did the witness hear a
single word more which had any reference to the events at
Belfort ?
Witness.—No.
The Procureur-General—Did not the circumstance strike you
as extraordinary.
Witness.—No, I took them to be two frolicsome young men ;
and one of them appeared to be intoxicated.
Ninth witness mbroise Alexandre Oudin, Serjearit-Major
in the 29th regiMent of the Line, deposed that the Adjutant
Tellier sent for himon the evening of the Ist January, and
after obtaining a/promise of secresy, told him that a general in-
surrection would take place throughout France at midnight ;
that Strasburgh, Belfort, and Neuf-Brisac were to act in con-
cert; that 121 guns would be fired as a signal, and that the
King's Lieutenant would be immediately made prisoner, and
the fort taken possession of. Witness asked Tellier whether
the officers were aware of this ? he replied all except three.
Witness asked whether his Sub-Lieutenant was aware of it?
Tellier replied that he was the person charged to arrest the
King's Lieutenant. Besides, added Tellier, it is not the
Bourbons who govern us ; they have violated the Charter.
We belong now to the Provisional (;overnment, of which
General Lafayette is the chief. He told witness to come
and sup at Nitzer's, where there would be a General Offi-
cer, with many Half-pay Officerk, and that after supper at
twelve o'clock, the insurrection would take place, and the
tri-coloured cockades would be distributed. Witness observ-
ed, that he might speak of this to his Captain ; Tellier re-
plied, that it made no difference. Witness returned to his
room, and after conferring with his colleague, Vieville, they
informed the Captain of What had happened, who seemed much
surprised, and immediately took measures to apprehend Tel-
lier. Witness and Vieville on going out met Tellier, who,
upon hearing what he had done, exclaimed, " You will be
the cause of my being shot," and parted in a rage, threatening
them with his fist. When they had re-entered their cham-
ber, the Sub-Lieutenant Peugnet knocked at their door, and
asked what was the matter? Witness answered, "It is said
that there is to be
.an insurrection at 12 o'clock, and you are
concerned in it." Is that all ? said Peugnet well, I am con-
cerned in it ; and in saying these words, he struck his hand
on his breast, and opening his cloak, discovered two pistols and
a sabre, adding,--,lf you mention ones word of this, you will
make me blow my brains out.
The President asked Tellier what he had to say to this depo-

sition ? •
Tellier—l confess all that the witness has said, except that
I did not say that the Bourbons had violated the Charter, and
that General Lafayette was at the head of the Provisional Go-
vernment. •
Tellier, being called upon by the President, deposed at great
length to the events of the 31st of December, and the Ist Jan.
Ife stated that the Sub-Lieutenant Peugnet offered to make
him an officer, if he would join the insurrectionists. Peugnet de-
tailed to him the plan of the insurrection. Tellier communicated
the secret to several serjeant-majors, and induced them to join
the conspiracy by the same means which Peugnet had em-
ployed to seduce him. After the discovery madethat all was
discovered. On M. Peugnet observing to the Colonel that he
(Tether) was without arms or money, the Colonel gave him a
pistol and 1001 francs. Tellier proCeeded to detail all the
circumstances which attended his flight, until he was taken by
the Gendarmerie on the 18th of January, and conducted to
Belfort.
On his cross-examination, Tellier declared that he had no
knowledge of the plot, before the overtures of Peugnet. Being
asked how he was able to state with so much exactness, on a
former interrogatory, that the handle of Colonel Pailhe's dag-
ger was four inches long, two inches broad at the top, and one
inch at the bottom, when he had only observed it at a moment
of great confusion ? Witness replied, that he was mistaken in
about an inch. Tellier, on being pressed as to some inconsis-
tencies in a letter, containing some details of the transaction,
said lie was drunk when he wrote the letter. He admitted that
he had attempted to commit suicide five or six times.
After some other questions had been put to Tellier, the Sit-
ting was adjourned.
AUDIENCE OF TIIE 24TH JULY.
The Court entered at eight o'clock : the throng of 'spectators
continually increases.
A discussion of, some length took place on the point—whe-
ther an Advocate could be forced to assist an accused, when
the latter refuses to give his consent to it ?
In the number of depositions on this occasion was that of
Captain Etienne, of the 29th, who deposed that lie was with
Captain Plumb when Oudin and Vieville came to make their
disclosure. About a quarter past-ten o'clock an individual was
brought to the guard-house, whom he recognized to be the ac-
cused, Guinand ; he was found to have in his hat and pockets
packages of cartridges, to the number of 14, which he stated to
be intended for hunting. On being farther questioned, Gui-
nand answered that it was a secret he would carry with him to
the grave, for that all the young men of France thought as
he did.
Eight other witnesses were examined.
ROVA,I, COURT AT PARIS.—AFFAIR OF.
ROCIIELLE.
We published the result of the deliberation'of the two Cham-
bers of Accusation and Appeal of Correctional Police. The
following facts were established by the proceedings :
A secret Society, called the Carbonari, has been organized
at Paris, and in several towns of France. Its object is to destroy
or to change the present Government; its means are to excite
the discontented to take arms against the Royal. authority ; its
plan is to foment and to combine several partial conspiracies,
and to cause them to break out at different parts of the kingdom,
when times and circumstances should favour their success.
The Carbonari arc distributed into several unions called
Ventes, and there are upper Ventes, central Ventes, and parti-
cular Ventes. The inferior Vente corresponds by a Deputy
with that which precedes it in the order of the hierarchy, and
the whole association is subject to a directing Committee or
Provisional Government, which resides at Paris. .
A particular venie was formed in the 45th Regiment of In-
fantry of the line while it was in garrison in the capital. This
vente, which corresponded by its President with the central vente
of Paris, was destined to the execution of a particular plot,
which was to break out according to circumstances, anti ac-
cording to the orders of superiors, either in the march of the re-
giment from Paris to Rochelle, or during its stay in this last
town, where the Regiment arrived in the month of Feb. last.
The night between the 17th and 18th March appears to have
been definitively chosen for the execution of the plot, which
consisted in seizing the Colonel and two chefs de Bataillon,
and to prevent the officers from reaching the barracks ; the Car.:
bonaei of the regiment, almost all sub-officers, were to take the
command of the soldiers who should consent to acknowledge
them, and hoist the tri-coloured flag ; they reckoned on the as-
sistance of the Carbonari of Rochelle, and several of the pea-
sants of the environs, as well as on the plots of the same kind
which were to be excited in the midst of different towns of
France. The execution of the plot in question was suspended
by obstacles independent of the will of the conspirators. The
plot was revealed, the individuals implicated arrested, and
most of them confirmed by their avowals the disclosures which
had been made.—(Joarmal des Debuts.),

CARLSRUHE, JULY 14.—The new French law
on the import duties has a very injurious effect
here on the sale of horned cattle and sheep. 'At
first two sheep without wool were sold for 20
florins, then for 16 or 17 ; and in another place
a shepherd `las sold them at 7-1 florins for two.
At the fair cf Mohringen only 1,800 sheep out of
