BAYONNE, NOVEMBER ii.

We have received our letters from Madrid up to the
7th inclusive. At one o'clock on that day, the unfor-
tunate Riego was executed. The details of this circum-
stance are really painful. The following are the parti-
culars which are given us:—
The prisoner had been placed, as usual", in a chamber
where there is a table, with a crucifix. It was there he
passed the time preceding his execution, to which he
was conducted, or rather dragged, on a hurdle, drawn
by an ass. It was with'great difficulty he ascended the
ladder, to the very lofty gibbet which had been erected,
so ill was he, in consequence of the fetters which ltad
been put on hiin *since his arrest. He died with great
resignation and courage. As soon as the executioner
made a signal that he was dead, cries and hurrahs
arose from all quarters, even from the balconies, it
which were Priests and Monks.

The public tranquillity was not interrupted for a mo-
ment, thanks to the precautions taken by the French Ge-
neral, who caused numerous detachments to patrol the
streets, which'was very necessary, as a crowd of persons
was observed who appeared to have arms concealed un-
der their cloaks, and who would have taken advantage of
the slightest confusion to do mischief. That part of the
sentence which decreed that the body of Riego should be
divided into five parts and sent to different places, has
not been, and will not be, carried into effect. The ap-
prehensions that may be justly entertained (torn the ex-
cess of the exultation of the Royalist party, now they
are the masters, may be judged of by the excesses com-
mitted on All Saints Day : they went to the Church-
yards, and after having defaced with their sabres the
epitaphs of the Constitutionalists, they stopped at the
graves of Sierra Pamblei and Landaburn, from which
they took the bodies and tore them in pieecs.
The following account, which is given as authentic, is
calculated to excite the most serious reflections as well
as horror. It is stated in accounts from Guadalajara,
that a Colonel of the corps of the Empecinado, having
been brought a prisoner, it was with difficulty he
reached the prison : the people with loud cries de-
manded that-the Governor should deliver him up to
their vengeance, if he would not be sacrificed himself,
He had the cruel weakness to have the gate of the pri-
son opened ; the people seized the Colonel,' stripped
him, and conducted him, through the streets with a rope
about his neck, they led him out of the city, put out
his eyes,cut off his nose and ears, and last of, all his head,
It is reported, from Truxillo; that the corps of the
Empecinado continues to be the terror of the country
and that it is still so formidable that French troops are,
marching from all sides towards that quarter.
The dismissal of the Governor of Cadiz, who had ar-
bitraiily arrested the. Duke del Parque, gave so much
satisfaction to the people, that they testified their grati-
tude to General Bout mont by reiterated applauseb when
he appeared at the Theatre ; they also let fly pigeons
adorned with ribbons, which is only done on occasions
of public rejoicings..
The toads on the other side of the stPitai are infested
by numerous guerillas, which traverse tlmq.in.all di-
rections. Those on this side are not much better, for

the courier with the Mail is obliged to have an escort,
and the bands push their excursions very near to the
fiontiers.

It seems that the Royalists and the Army of the
Faith. are very angry at the Ordonnance which sup.
presses all aid or payment from France. It is affirmed
that the Inquisition will not yet be re-established, but
will be replaced by a tribunal of a similar nature.'Ge.
neral Guilleminot did not set out with the Prince, and
will remain some days at Madrid. The Count of St.
Chaman's has just arrived from Spain. General Molitor
is going to Alicant and Carthagena, to terminate the
war in that country. _ _

We received, last night, the Paris Papers of suts.
day, and to-day, by Express, those of Monday.—yes„
waxy- we quoted from the Oreamme some hints of
a project "'tor restoring to the throne of his ancestors,
the son of a King whom the events of the regime of
BONAPARTE dethroned," and giving' BERNADOTTE, in
lieu of his Swedish diadem, the sovereignty of Greece.
The Journal des Debuts, referring to this paragraph,
gives it the following demi-official contradiction.

“ The editor of the Or name. was right in informing bla readers
that it would perhaps be prudent not to give entire faith to this re.
port; for the statement is a complete Isbrication.”
The Comstittaionnel contains the convention for the
surrender of Barcelona, liostalrich, &c. The following
are the only articles of importance:

" Art. 10. His Excellency the Marshal Duke de Cornegliano will
interpose his mediation to get removed the sequestration placed for
political reasons upon the property of militia-men, and other in.
&admit' domieiliated or taking refuge in the places above indicated.

" Art. 11. The Italian, and Germans who form part of the corps
that may be found in the above places shall be treated she same as
Spanish soldiers. Passports shaU be granted to those who may
require them.

Art. 12. Persons in a civil capacity, or who may have exentised
functions under the Constitutional system, and all other brawl.
duals, shall be free from any process affecting either their pens.,
or their property, on account of their public conduct, or otthe opi-
nions they may have expressed either verbaffy or In writing."

We have received advices from Demerara to the 21st
of September. The colony continued tranquil, though
much gloom was observed among the Negroes at the
different plantations where the revolt has! at first broken
out, which, however, was only considered the natural
consequence of the previous state of things. The prin.
cipal ringleader of the insurrection, a negro named
Quamina, had been shot in the bushes, after ineffectual
attempts to take him alive. His son, another negro,
named Jack, who had been acting under him, was in
custody and undergoing his trial, in the course of which
it is expected would be fully disclosed the origin and
causes of the insurrection. The Missionaries who had
been apprehended at its first breaking out were shortly
to be put on their trial.

We mentioned yesterday, that an attempt was again
made on 'Change, to sell the new Spanish Royalty Loan,
dnd that this attempt was received with increased in.
dignation. The British Public will be pleased to find,
by the following Letter, that two eminent English,Es.
. .
tablishments, who were originally interested in this
Contract, withdrew from it, as satin as their Attest (Mr..
ABBOTT) was inforWied, iliSt it wits fulinded ,a orvio:
