MADRID, JULY 2d-..=Our Gazette contains va-
rious details 'respecting the priest Morelos, who
' lung commanded the insurgents of Mexico. On
his trial he was charged with having ordered the
assassination,_ in cold blood, of several general
Officers :Of his Majesty', troops ;' tonoug others
that of the Commandant Morita, who offered him
250,000' francs to ransom his lifel anti of Livia,-
General Sara'via, and 203 prisoners of, war ; with
having coined money by his own authority, led a
scandalous life, and professed,religious principles
unworthy of VI Catholic ; with having given or-
der', to burn the towns and villages around the
royal armies, in order to deprive them of re-
sources, &e.

Before his execution he wrote a confession of
the Crimes laid to his charge. In this, couression
he states, that he was impelled by a.furions'aiol
intemperate zeal tor what he deemed the welfare
of his country; that this disposition of mind
led him to regard as false the news of the re-
turn of Ferdinand Vll. to his states, • or at any
rate to think that he had returned in consequence
of a concert with Napoleon, that he should obey
the orders and inculcate the maxinmot that tyrant.
lie says; that witnessing the torrents of blood
shed in Mexico to no purpose, he latterly meant,
Jost before his capture, to retire to New Orleans,
rtr the United States. 'flue confession is dated
the 10th Decembet: 1815.
Mneel6%; after, being degraded by the eccle-
siastical anthorcties, - was delivered tkp to the Au-,
ditor of War, Whose- Sentence was confirmed by
the Viceroy, Ile. was shot with his back to the
soldiers—a mode of puniAment reserved fur trai-
tors. On the intercessiowot the.clergy, his. body
.was interred with Out being mutilated.
Ittintedlattly after this art of justice, the Vice-
roy pillilisfted a general amnesty, offering real ad-
vantages' to all the insurgents. This act of cle-
mency• and policy was dated' the day of Morelos'
execution (22d. December, 1815). Ut what has
passed since that event the Grivernntent dial made
known nothing, officially. The true state of our
fine, though unhappy proiincea of North Ante-
rica, is therefore unknown, although. letters from
Mexico require sot, Mori than dote months to
teach Spain.

usual heads. They am not of consequence suf-
ficient to require comment, end we Wive merely
to refer to them, being owrchargetl with local
and miscellaneous news.

We have been favoured with some East India
Papers, to the 2,9 th 'of March. Fortunately, by
the termination of the Nepaulese %vat-, the
cat contents are no longer interesting.

‘Ve lament to notice the following report in a

" It is will known, that the nearest relations of
one of our learned Chief Juss,ices were engaged in
commerce, under the most respectable ch.-
cumstances, and opt: of the firms was esta-
blished at ralermw, and was extensively en-
gaged ' with the Court of the Two Sicilies.—

for this country with that Court in its money

saver a demand, he expetienced considerable
embarrassment, the foreign debtors not being able
to fulfil their engagements, on which the liquida-
tion of the claim by the native Court depended.

The consequence has been fatal;-and it is said that
the party has suffered by a violent death, in-
flicted by his own hand ! We shall be most hviby
to hear ,that our information on this subject is
incorrect, It is apptelicnded, that considerable

It is said that the journey of the King of IVlnt-

Itte appears by an article in aTrench Paper, that
a Ilankiiig-hslinie in Paris had given discreditable
reports to: its correspondent in London of fifteen
other rien'els houses, till then esteemed -respect-
able in then% sever4l mercantile' lntSuits ; and Ibis
i i ter rumour trAnstsiring, had caused the hills
of the tradiroesi houses to be rejected in London,
even though funds were plovitirst for their pay-
ment. Perhaps the latter- part of the statement
is not accurately, dr in all • instances, trite ; but,
ulion any supposition, we think that the inference
which Is attrettined to be drawn fronrthe whole
occurrence, namely, that the funds in both coun-
tries ha‘:.e been deteriorated. by it, is a little too
strong. Their condition, though often varying,
depends upon snore pbwerful and permanent
causes.
