FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS, SEPT. '23.—The Duke of Wellington
set off yesterday morning for Vienna. His health
renders it necessary for him to travel by short
stages, and to rest every night.
It appears that Pomier was the only one of the
four men condemned to death who expressed a
wish to make declarations to the President of the
Court of Assize.

After mass, the King gave audience to the
Chancellor, the Ministers, the Ambassador of
Naples, the Marshals Dukes of Tarentum, of
Ragusa, of Treviso, and several Peers and Gene-
rals.—M. de Villele afterwards transacted busi-
ness with his Majesty.
The Gazette of the Neckar contains letters
from Florence and Leghorn, which repeat the ac-
counts already given of victories said to have
been obtained by the Greeks over the Turks.
The Madrid Papers of the 7th give an official
account of the defeat of Quesada, the Trappist,
&c., in the battle near Jaca, on the 30th. The
51 etai Is of the second battle on the 7th, near
.Huesca, are not yet published.
The last advices from Vienna are dated the
15th instant. His Excellency the French Minis-
ter of Foreign Affairs, it appears, will not set out
on his return to Paris until they beginning of Oc-
tober.

Yesterday morning the King received in private
audience M. le Baron Hyde de Neuville, the
Envoy Extraordinary of France to the United
States.
A courier from Vienna arrived yesterday at
the Foreign Department, and another departs
this day for that capital.
A letter from Lyons states—" Orb the 15th
inst. two Police Commissaries visited the Memphis
'Masonic Lodge, situated at Pilata, and seized all
the papers, registers, lists, &c. belonging to that
brotherhood."

FRONTIERS OF SPA IN.—We (Quotidienne)
have received the following intelligence from St.
Sebastian, dated Sept. 16, 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 13 hours' fighting the latter
were beaten and put to flight. A column of their
army, about 500 strong, succeeded in getting
into Venasque ; the Trappist pursued them
thither, and summoned the garrison to surrender
in 24 hours, otherwise he would put every man
to the sword and burn the town. The Trappist
expected that the town would surrender that
evening. Whilst this Chief was thus engaged,
Quesada pursued the Constitutionalist's, who had
retreated on the route to Tremp."
It is added that the Baron d'Eroles, having
been attacked in the neighbourhood of Urgel,
had routed the Constitutionalists, and taken 300
prisoners, whom he had marched to Seo.
Our Letters (Journal de Paris) from Bayonne
make no mention of the foregoing victories of
the Trappist and of Quesada.
CO g UNNA, SEPT. 4.—M. the Duke de L'lnfan-
tado arrived here yesterday to give a new proof
-cf his obedience to the orders of his Catholic
:Majesty, whom he solicited, in a spirited repre-
sentation, to allow him to retire, or to go to
Fortugal.

EXECUTION OF GENERAL ELIO.

ItXTBACT OF A LETTER FROM A LIBERAL AT VALENCIA.

" The infamous General Elio has at length suffered the pain
of death (by the garotte). His execution took place this morn-
ing at 11 o'clock, after having been publicly divested of his
rank and honours ! The General was not condemned on ac-
'count of his conduct as Captain-General, but in consequence of
the revolt of the cannoniers who occupied the fort 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 igno-
minious 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, but the Auditor demanded its imme-
diate execution, conformably to the martial law of the 17th of
April, 1821. The arrival of the Brigadier Espina, who was
provisionally invested with the military command of this dis-
trict, was regarded as the signal for the execution. If it had
been retarded, we should have broken into the prison, and our-
eelves have conducted the victim to the scaffold. The people
maintained that demeanour which becomes an heroic nation,
and accompanied the culprit to the scaffold with shouts of—
' To death with Elio ! his blood will cement the constitutional
"

Another letter from Valencia, written in a different spirit,

states--

" The scaffold on which General Elio was strangled at Va-
lencia, on the 4th instant, was erected close to a delightful gar-
den which belonged to him when he was all-powerful in that
..town: It appears that this spat was selected in order that his tra-
gical end might be marked by a circumstance which was calcu-
,lated to make him regret life. One of our journals, which is at
all times distinguished for its violence, affirms that General
previously to walking to the scaffold, knelt down and
.asked pardon of the authorities who were present, for all the
mischief he had occasioned—this is wholly false. Above 12,000
persons were witnetises of the firmness which he showed on this
sad oe.casitin, and of the last words which he pronounced. The
General protested his innocence in the face of God and man;
he declared that he had only carried into execution the orders
which he had received from the Government during the period
of his command ; that he was utterly unconnected with the re-
volt cf the cannoniers ; and, finally, that he begged of God to
pardon his murderers, as he himself forgave them. I wish,'
he added, that my blood may be the last which is shed in Spain.
Spain will one day do justice to the purity of my intentions, and
repeat the cry which is now my last prayer—' Long live the
King and Religion.' "
VALENCIA, SEPT. 7.—( Extract of a Private Letter.)—The
execution of General Elio has left on all men's minds a deep
impression. The, scaffold was erected in the Plain del Real,
near a public garden which he had caused to be constructed
• while he was governor, and ruled this city. The form of the'
execution was the same as for any other criminal, with the ex-
ception that all the garrison was under arms. An immense
multiide covered the plain ; and at the moment the execution
took place, insulting cries mixed with those of "Live the Con-
stitution" were heard. These cries uttered by certain indivi-

* It is known that, far from having participated in this re-
volt, General Elio invincibly refused the liberty offered him by
-the cannoniers, who invited him to put himself at their head,
and that he formally declared that he confided in the justice
of,bis King.

duals excited the indignation of the majority of the spectators,
—Among the rest a great number of women were observed in
tears.

When his sentence was notified to him, he received it on his
knees, embraced the reporter, and several other persons, and
begged that they would pardon him if he had offended them
during his life.
Never did a man appear more humble and resigned. The
pride of his character had entirely disappeared. During the
night it was necessary every moment to remove the national
guards who stood sentinels at the door of the chapel. He drew
tears from all, and those who were most violent against him
could not refrain from shewing sympathy. No complaint
against his judges was heard from him. His separation from
his numerous family was what afflicted him most, (most of his
children are very young). The death of Elio has been cele-
brated by some violent persons ; but had the people of Valen-
cia been consulted, he would have been still in life.--(Journal
des Dibats. )

STUTTGAR D, SEPT. 17.—The Gazette du Neckar
adds to article first, published in the Florence
Gazette, relative to the Greeks, the following
letter :

" Leghorn, Sept. 2.

" I hasten to communicate to you the news which we have
just received from M. Vitali, Captain of a ship, who came from
Spezzia here in 16 days, and from Napoli di Romania in 22.
His news consoles us for the unpleasant reports which have
been spread for a few days of the entrance and progress of the
Turkish army in the Peloponnesus. We were still more dis-
quieted by knowing that the Turkish fleet, consisting of 80
sail, and among them six ships of the line, 23 frigates and
corvettes, had arrived off the Peloponnesus, and had on board
Turkish, Egyptian, and Barbary troops.

" Thank God, the bravery of the Hellenians has once more
triumphed over the barbarians. The Turkish troops disem-
barked in the Morea, and without meeting any resistance
from the Hellenists, who had sent all their forces /towards
Thessaly, endeavoured to penetrate into the interior of the
Peninsula.

" The few troops of the Hellenians retreated, burning and.
destroying every thing, in order that the enemy might find no
means of subsistence.: The Turks, ampunting to 16,000 men,,
penetrated nearly to Argos, where they expected to receive suc-
cour from the Turkish garrison of Napoli di Romania. Our
people, who assembled all the warriors in the Morea, as soon
as possible, pressed the enemy on all sides, and beat him in se-
veral trifling affairs.
" The Turks, distressed by hunger and anxiety, could not
wait for succour from Napoli di Romania, which had already
capitulated, though it was not yet in the hands of our people,
and commenced their retreat. In the defile of Saint George,
between Corinth and Argos, the Greeks came up with the
enemy, and in fact they had previously caused the pass to be
occupied ; he was completely defeated, and lost all his baggage
and ammunition. The remainder of the Turks retired in
disorder to Corinth. Chiaga Bey, Adjutant-General of
Chourschid Pacha, perished in this combat, and also Camille
Bey and his son, The Government ordered that all the dead
bodies of the enemy at Argos, and in the neighbourhood,
should be burned, in order that the air might not be rendered
impure.

" The Greeks have kept forty Turks of distinction as
hostages, for the surrender of Napoli di Romania ; the son of
the Pacha of this town is one of them. The Hellenians hav-
ing left off furnishing the Turks in Napoli with provisions from
the time the enemy entered the Morea, and the Turkish garri-
son having heard of the defeat of their countrymen, the city
will now be delivered, to the Greeks according to the convention
before concluded.

" Our fleet, consisting of sixty sail from the three islands,
and twenty- three fire ships, was ready to sail in search of the
enemy's fleet ; and though the latter is stronger than our fleet,
we hope to succeed in destroying it. May God help us ! Odys-
seus remains faithful to the Greeks, and was not a traitor as
has been pretended on several occasions. He guards with faith-
fulness the defiles of Thermopylw and of Thessaly.

" According to letters from Bitoglia, it appears that he de-
feated Chourschid on the river Sperchas, near Zeitouni, at the
bridge of Salamana, and that he forced him to retreat with con-
siderable loss to Larissa. The Greeks have retaken Cassandra,
and the Turks have constructed new entrenchments round the
town of Salonica.

" Our affairs go on equally well in Epirus, but in consequence
of the great number of the enemy's troops, the operations of our
soldiers are at present confined to the maintenance of the advan-
tages which they have already gained. The regular corps of Hel-
lenians and of Philhellenians in Epirus,have performed prodigies
of valour, and killed a considerable number of the Turks. The
enemy fell on them with a corps of cavalry very superior in
number, and would probably have succeeded in exterminating
them had not an Hellenian Chief of the irregular troops, reached
a height with forty arquebusiers, and checked the enemy till
the others gained time to retreat to Comboti. The Philhelle-
nians lost forty-three of their best soldiers on this occasion.
Normann is well, and the German soldiers have displayed very
great bravery.
" Our cause was in great danger when the enemy advanced
into the Peloponnesus, but his defeat will teach our brave Hel-
lenians to meet danger more courageously—will inspire the
enemy with terror, and cover him with confusion.
" During winter, we shall gain more time to bring our affairs
in order, and to put ourselves in a state, with the help of God,
to take up the offensive at the approach of spring with still
greater force." ,

ANCONA, SEPT. 3.—We learn from Naples
that the Carbonari implicated in the conspiracy
of Monteforte, which began the Revolution of
Naples, are to be immediately brought to trial.
It is supposed that 43 individuals will be con-
demned to death.

LISBON, SEPT. B.—The Government is about
to demand from the Court of Rome a Bull, to
secularise all the monks and nuns who desire to
leave their convents, granting them a pension or
some ecclesiastical employment.
STRASBURGII, SEPT. 18.—A Court-martial as-
sembled here to-day for the trial of Caron and
Roger, accused of assisting (enzbauchage) the
rebels. By the French law the audience at a
Court-martial must not exceed thrice the number
of Judges, who being in this case seven, the
auditors may amount to twenty-one.
