the noise of the first bring was heard ; the troops
.lying in ambush ran from 102 putt; after several
rounds they attacked the, Turks sword in hand. The
enemy sought a place to .retreat in shin. With the
exteption of about 500 men, the corps HASSAN pe-
.rished.before the bridge. A smell number surrendered
at discretion.
Such was the end of this great Ottoman army.
(This is'the name by which it was designated by the
Turks.) The avant garde only of this rimy passed,•
on °the 4th of July, into Livadia, when CHOURSCHIC
was at Larissa. It had arrived- at Zeitouni in the
'month of June, and had profited by a moment of
confusion, occasioned by some private quarrels of
ODYssetisl to penetrate by a roundabout way, but
entered into Peloponnesus ; it was also there de-
stroyed; and thus accomplished the destruction of
the army of CHOURSCHID PACHA, arrived on the
three points of Thermopolyte, Caracos, and Corin-
dila. Of all this army, amounting to 45,000 or
50,000 men, the Seraskier has only saved 6,000, who
have retreated with him to Larissa.
AlthOugh we have considerable doubts as to the
extent of the successes of the Greeks, yet we think it

is pretty evident that CHOURSCHID PACHA has suffered
a great defeat, and that the plan of the Turks has
been frustrated.

The domestic news in the French journals is net of
much importance.
The Lazaretto on the french frontier has been
broken up in consequence of the Ordonnance which
changed the name of the sanatory cordon.
The Ruche d' Aquitaine reports, that the Austrian
Consul at Victoria had been arrested as an enemy of
the constitotionaj system.
The two Officers stated to have been arrested a few
days ago in Paris, are Colonels DEUTZEL and FA.
VIER, who had recently returned from England.
The Journal of the Lower Rhine gives the following
details concerning the execution of Colonel CA RON :

" ColOnel Caron, who was unanimously condemned
to death for the crime of embauchage, by the first
Permanent Council of War of this Division, the judg-
ment of which was likewise unanimously confirmed
by the Cohncil of Revision, was executed at two
o'clock in the afternoon, in the presence of a small de-
tachment of the garrison, and a numerous concourse
of people who 'ere attracted by curiosity. The Abbe
Schittig zealou.sly administered to him the consola-
tions of religion, which he received with humility,
and he died with the courage of a Christian and an
old soldier. Caron was alone in a carriage, amidst
the retinue which conducted him to the place of exe-
cution. At the entrance of the horn-work, called
Fink Matt, where the execution took place, be alighted
from the carriage without the assistance of the driver.
On arriving in front of the twelve men who were to
be his executioners, he refused to have his eyes ban-
daged. With his hat on, he himself gave the signal.
Immediately the muskets were fired, and Caron was
no more !"

Madrid Papers, which have been received to the
Sti inst. bring an account of the first preparatory
meeting of the Extraordinary Cortes.
On the morning of the Ist inst. the Deputies as-
sembled in the Palace of the Cortes, and Don CAYE--
irallo VALDES, President of the Permanent Deputa-
tion, opened the Session with the following speech:

" Sextotes--The Permanent Deputation of the Cortes, in con•
junction with all good Spaniards, rejoice to see the Rept esenta-
ayes of the Nation united in the sanctuary of the laws to secure
the public liberties—an immortal glory which was reserved for
them. The King (whom GOD preserve) has ordained the con-
vocation of the Extraordinary Cortes, for the objects with which
you are already acquainted, and which indicate, in an unequivocal
manner, that his Majesty has it in contemplation to ensure our
liberties, our Constitution, and our absolute independenie, by the
exercise of his ►sacred prerogatives. This conduct cannot fail to
excite in the great nation of which we are the representatives,
feelings of love and respect towards his Majesty, and to in-
duce the Deputies to spare no labour in the fulfilment of their
sacred duties.

" The enemies of liberty, who have ever attacked it ►y indi-
rect means, promoting discord and dissension among us, have
during the List months carried on their work with unusual auda.
city ; and though they have succeeded in occasioning much evil
and dissatisfaction, of which the Deputation will in due time
render an account, yet we know to a certainty that the great
majority of Spaniards, rather than forfeit their liberty, will
perish in union with the Constitutional King, who now calls us
together to secure it.

" Your predecessors have given you living examples of their
wisdom and perseverance; and it is your duty to continue their
works, in order to secure in an indestructible manner the politi-
cal liberty of the nation and the rights of citizens. All the
efforts of the advocates of despotism, wherever they may be,
will tie vain. Uniou, firmness, constancy, and prudence, have
ever formed the constituent character of the nation. It is there-
fore incumbent on you to face boldly the difficulties which pre-
sent themselves; and, without sparing either the employment of
means or of labour, to occupy yourselves with your duties, in
order to maintain yourselves worthy of the esteem and respect
of your fellow-citizen's, and to ensure for your deliberationrthe
benedictions of posterity."

A discussion on the mode of approving the powers
of Deputies, and other business of form, occupied the
remainder of the Sitting.

On the 28th, a contract was made by the new Spa-
nish Miniitry for a loan, in return for which eighteen
millions of•rentec are inscribed in the Great Book.—.
The Indio:dor, which approves the arrangement, ob-
serve's that 66 the contract has been made with such
advantage for the Treasury, that the supply of every
branch of the public service will be secured, until the
tortes decide what other extraordinary measures cir-

ral of the Sixth Military District, ,
seeded in that command by D. Moron. de VELASCO.
Sir W. A'COURT, British Minister to the Court of
Madrid, arrived in that city on the 25th ult. The
highest marks of respect were shewn him by. the Ci-
vil and Military Authorities op his way from Iron to,
the capital. Escorts of troops accompanied him
wherever there was reason to apprehend that he might
be insulted or embarrassed by the banditti of the
Army of the Faith. On the arrival of this Envoy, one
of the Madrid journals (the Universal) makes the fol-
lowing observation The policy of the . English
Cabinet, which is at all times distinguished for depth
and foresight, cannot fail to perceive that under the
present circumstances the political and commercial
interests of Great Britain are intimately connected
with the Constitutional system in the Peninsula. The
consolidation of that system is now the best guarantee
and counterpoise against the preponderance which a
great Power wishes to obtain in the balance of Eu-
rope. But be this as it may, the nature of the new
diplomatic relations which the British Government is
about to establish with Spain, through the medium
of its new Plenipotentiary, cannot be long concealed
from sagacious and enlightened observers."
Colonel FREIRE de ANDRADE, appointed by the
Portuguese Government Minister Plenipotentiary and
successor to Senor de Cana() PEREIRA, has arrived
at Madrid. The Universal says—i, It is believed
that this new Envoy is specially charged with adjust-
ing a treaty 4 alliance offensive and defensive be-
tween the two nations."

The latest accounts received at Madrid from Na-
vane, state that ESPINOSA, on leaving Pampeluna,
on the 19th, instead of directing his march to Irati,
as was supposed, had. .proceeded towards Tafalla
This intelligence, joined to that which had previously
been received of the movements made about the
same time by the Commandant of Arragon, and by
General MINA, had produced a persuasion at Madrid
that the combined plan of operations adopted by
these Generals must have been carried into execution
before the 30th ult. and the accounts of the result
were anxiously expected at Madrid.
It is stated in the Indicador that an express arrived
on the morning of the 29th, with an account of a
r Dattle in the neighbourhood of Vich, in which MINA
jdefeated the factious banditti, and took 800 prisoners.

This forenoon we received a German Mail, bring-
ing Papers to a recent date. The Austrian Observer,
to the 28th ult. is entirely silent on the affairs of the
Greeks, which may be considered as a negative con-
firmation of their successes, as stated in the French
Journals: while the Allgenreine Zeitung, of the lit
inst. has as article dated Corfu, August 16, which
contains a letter from Calamata, giving an account
of the operations of CHOURSCIIID I'AcuA at the end
of July, and of the victories of the Greeks. The
writer makes Cum./R=111;s army to have consisted
of one corps of 8,000 men under the PachA of Dram
(M AOHMUT PACHA); another of 8,000 underTscHAs-
KANTt Au PACHA ; and the main body, of 20,000
men, under his own command. The plan of opera-
tions was well laid, and the Greeks had but a very
inferior force to oppose ; but ODYSSEUS and the other
Captains took the most prudent and energetic mea-
sures. CHOURSCHIO, who had advanced to Fontana,
was defeated in a great battle, which continued for
some days, and fled back through the defiles of Ther-
mopylz to Larissa with only 3,000 men. The other
two corps were likewise defeated, as the troops which
JUSSUF PACHA had, landed in the Gulf of Corinth.
Of 10,000 Turks who fought near Corinth, not one
is now to be seen. The country, says the writer,
smokes with the blood of our enemies and of our
brethren.

An article from Switzerland, dated 27th Septem-
ber, gives the answer of the Diet to the Minister of
France on the subject of the commercial relations of
the two countries. The following are a few of the
most important passages in this document :

" The productions of France, and especially those
of its rich manufactures, abound in Switzerland, while
the productions of Switzerland pay, on their entrance
into France, heavy duties, and Swiss manufactures
are excluded from its territory. France has partly
loaded with duties, and in part wholly prohibited li
the transit of Swig goods, and all the productions of
France enjoy in Switzerland an absolute liberty of
transit. The steadiness with which the Helvetic body
has alone remained faithful to relations which have 1
long since ceased to be reciprocally useful, its incli-
nation to believe that the evil would be transitory,
and that friendship would furnish the remedy, have
been attended with only disastrous consequences.
Public wealth has diminished in a still more rapid
progression, and the evil has increased with the ez-

tent of their patience.
" When Switzerland in its turn shall be com-
pelled to oppose a system of measures, in its own de-
fence, against the heavy duties or absolute prohibi-
tions which affect the produce of its soil and its ma.
nufactures, it will take for its only rule the interest
of its agriculture and manufactures. Consulting its
wants with the same independence which it respecti

Switzerland forms a great estimate of its position
and its people will always maintain it as
hitherto done, in sentiments of good faith,
and general good will."

"The affairs of Colombia are in good condition—
the greatest harmony prevails among the people. A
superb house has been fitted up by the Government
at Santa Fe, for the accommodation of the Minister
from the United States. The famous Lafitte has got
a schooner of about four tons and a commission from
the Government, and will be ready to sail in a few
days on a cruize, and may be expected to annoy
American as well as Spanish vessels. The West
Indian seas are filled with Spanish privateers—four-
teen have been fitted out within the last month.
