LONDON,
TUESDAY, MAY 15, 1821.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Saturday last. They inform us of the atrocious
murder of the Canon VINUESA, by the populace,
of Madrid. The following are the particulars of
this horrible transaction :

" PARIS, MAY 11.

" We have received the Spanish Papers up to the sth, which
have arrived by express. The Canon Vinuesa was on the 4th
of the month the victim of,popular fury ; he was massacred in
his prison by an infuriated mob, who broke open the doors in
spite of the resistance of the National Guard then on duty.__
The Ministerial Journal gives these afflicting details -
" The Canon Vinuesa was, on the evening of the 3d, sen-
tenced by_Arias, the Judge of the Court of premier instance, to
ter.-yearti of labouion board the galleys at one of the strong forts
on the coast of Africa, and his two nephews were merely repri-
manded, on the ground that the imprisonment which they had
undergone was a sufficient punishment for their crime. On the
morning of the 4th the news of this sentence began to circulate
through Madrid : great agitation ensued, and groups of people
were formcd, who displayed the greatest discontent at the sen-
tence, the populace thinking that he deserved death.
, " The disturbance gradually increased till three o'clock in
the afternoon : the people then went to the prison with the in-
tention of seizing the person of the Canon. The detachment of
the national militia appointed to guard him opposed this at-
tempt; but these troops being obliged to give way to the force
against them, shut themselves up in the prism, and commenced
a brisk fire on the multitude from the windows. In the mean
time the people took possession of the town magazine, which is
situated near the prison, and with the implements which they
procured forced the principal gate, and, notwithstanding all the
resistance made by the national guards, penetrated to the pri_

soner's apartment.
" The remaining circumstances of the event are related in

different ways, which induces us to postpone details of them.
`We merely know that from the marks on the body of the de-
ceased, death appears to have been inflicted by the same in-
struments which served to force the doors of the prison. It is
said, that all the men composing the detachment of the national
guard on duty at the prisOn have been put under arrest, and
that an inquiry is to be instituted to ascertain whether they acted
on their defence conformably to the regulation. It is said that
Vinuesa was killed by the blow of a hatchet on the head, and
that he expired under the bands of the assassin.

" The Count of Carthagena, (General Morino) has been ap-
pointed Captain-General of New Castile, in place of Don
Ramon Vilalba, who has been dismissed."—(GAZETTE DE

FRANCE.)

These Papers contain also the following inte
igence

" PARIS, MAY 11.

" Messrs. Jauy, Member of the French Academy? Arnault,
Emaniiel Dupaty, Cauchois Lemaire and Jal, Editors of the
MinaQa, accused of various infringements of the laws on the
Censorship, appeared to-day before the Correctional Tribunal.
" Mr. Ferriere, the King's Counsel, directed the cause against
them, and concluded by praying that they might be condemned
each to a month's imprisonment, and 200 francs fine.
" Mr. Dupin, sen. displayed extraordinary eloquence in their
defence, and never perhaps showed greater ability. Messrs.
Jauy, Arnault, and Dupaty, were heard in their own defence ;
and Thursday next was fixed for the passing of their sentence.
" A printed Paper has been distributed in the Courts of the
Peers, signed by ,Messrs. Delamotte, Des Conies, Paquet,
Brices, I'egula, and Reney, Captains, Lieutenants, and Sub-
lieutenants in the Ex-legion of the Seine. These accused coin-

plain of having been arrested at Mons, in the Netherlands, and
of having been delivered up to the French authorities. They
protest against the delivering up (Extradition) of their persons
by a Government which they had not offended, and whose laws
they had not violated ; they protest against the principles of
Extradition. They do not complain of their own fate, but are
on the contrary happy to appear before judges whom they
would have asked for, if the choice had been left to them—
(CONSTITUTIONNEL, MAY 12.)
" The Royal Court of Grenoble (Chamber of Accusation)
has passed judgment in the affair relative to the troubles in that
city on the 20th March last. It has sent Marc Colombat,
Student of Law ; Joseph Foulquier, Chas. Renauldon, Advo-
cate; Hyppolite Cecilion, Student; Claude Reviere, manufac-
turer ; Bayoud, jun. ; Antone Dussert, journeyman printer;
Etienne Finet, journeyman glover ; and Auguste Dumas, an
Officer out of service, to be tried by the Court of Assizes, for
crimes provided against by Art. I, 3,5, and 8, of the law of
17th Slay, 1789. The Court has liberated three other per-
sons who were in confinement.--(JouRNAL DES DEBATS,
MAY 12.) •

" Several, vessels, on board of which were many Piedmon-
tese and Neapolitan refugees, have been obliged to put into
Antibes; and other ports on the coast of Var, ol account of the
violent gales from the North West. They sailed again as soon
as the weather permitted, in order to proceed to Barcelona; a
few of the refugees obtained leave to go by land to that destina-
tion.—(JounNAL DE PARIS.)
" LECH, APRIL 23.

" Private letters mention a new Convention said to be con-
chided between Austria and the Government of Naples, accord-
ing to which only 30,000 men arc to remain in the latter king-
dom. It is stated that General Frimont was the first to propose
the reduction of his army, as the great majority of the inhabit-
ants of all classes, without exception, have declared against the
revolutionary system, and that the whole population is animated
by art excellent spirit. Thus the maintenance of tranquillity
can be guaranteed. It is said that in consequence of this Con-
vention, the eorjs of General Stutterheim returns to Lombardy,
and is actually in march for that destination. Five thousand
men belonging to that corps passed by the way of Rome,- and
the Holy Father has been pleased to give them his apostolic, be-
nediction. The corps of General Lederer, it is stated, will
quickly follow that of Stutterheim.
" The King of Naples had not left Rome at the departure of
the last courier from that city. His Majesty had had a long
interview with his Holiness.--.(MoNtrE u R Of the 12th.)
