ITALY; SEPTEMBER 6._

M. de Pouqueville, the Consul of France in the
arrived on the 6th at Milan, from Florence.
The noble conduct of this faithful and intrepid ser-
vant of his most Christian Majesty, has obtained him
the most flattering reception from the Ministers, Am.
bassadors, and Consuls of his Majesty at Naples,
Florence, and Milan. The Pope having met him at
the Villa Albani, deigned to honour with his bene-
diction the preserver of so many-thousands of Chris-
tians; and it is not doubted that, if his voice could
be heard at the Congress of Verona, it would induce
the Sovereigns to interest themselves in the cause of
the Greeks. M. Pouqueville is said to be going to
BI amines.

Bayonne Papers reached us this forenoon, bringing
intelligence both horn Madrid and The North of
Spain. The following are extracts:

MADRID, SEPTEMBER it.

It is affirmed that various General Officers and Co-
lone's, who are quartered at Valencia, have just been
ordered to go into exile, as follows :
Licutenant-Generals.—Perelloa, to the Canaries; and Conde
tle Calderon, to Ibiza.
Brigadiers--lbara and Lacerda, to Ceuta; Marimon, to Ba-
dajoz ; Garcia, to Ibiza; Matatenares, to Manilla; Gaztela, to
I orto Rico ; Valparda, to Vigo; Barrera and Deito, to Mahon.
Colonels—Novella, to Tariffs; Anillo, to Ibiza.

It is added that the Government has given orders
to investigate the conduct of Brigadier Pereda, who
is stationed in the same place.
Exchanges.—Paris 16. I.—Lopdon 37. 5.
BAYONNE, SEPTEMBER 19.

Sir William A'Court set out this morning:for Spain.
It is thought he will sleep at Irun, where preparations
ere making to give him a most brilliant reception.
The military preparations continue without inter-

tuption : every day there arrive powder waggons,
gun carriages, cartridges, tents, corn, &c. but hitherto
- no troops we are, therefore, still in the same uncer-
tainty respecting the object of these particular's ; but
the general opinion is, that they are merely intended
to alarm our neighbours, the Spaniards, since so far
there is nothing that indicates the entrance of the
troops of the pretended sanitary cordon into Spain,
whose nun-11er would not suffice to occupy Guipus-
coa. The French seldiets, besides, are not animated
with any eagerness to make part of an expedition of
this description.
On the 16th, General Espinosa had an action with

• •

the troops of had, which, after lining four killed
and So wounded, declined tietoesbat:
The Jontatf Navarre,iiim bletilert of which are
at this moment in Daytime, itioiesely owed proH
clamations to be Circulated in Nessarre, inviting IMP'
ilihabitants to enlist under the banners of the Faith,
and to obey the legitimate 'Government of the. King,
established at Urgel. It is said &pia is called to
the Regency at Urgel, and that he hes also received
orders to suspend from his functions Col; Abseil, who
is to give
,an account of the large sums that have
passed through his hands within the last twelve months,
for the purchase of erms,,,ammunition, &c. The
Spanish refugees at Bayonne loudly blame this Co-
lonel, whose mul practices have been denounced to
the Junta at Urgel.

We have before observed that the enemies of the
Constitution exerted themselves to induce the active
militia to join their banners, or at 'least to prevent
them from following those of the Constitutionalists.
It is not only in Gallicia that these corps have shewn
a repugnance to obey the Govirnment. The Es-
pectador, of the I I th, gives the following account
from Leon, of sth Sept.—The battalion of the active
militia of Oviedo arrived here the day before yester-
day. This battalion, which had always given proofs
of the strictest discipline and of attachment to the
new institutions, left Oviedo amidst the acclamations
of the inhabitants, and cries of the Constitution for ever.
—But seduction had formed its way among the sol-
diers, and a great part of the five companies that
were at Pajares, mutinied in the night, saying they
had done all they were bound to do, and would re-
arm home, having first arrested the Major and the
Officers, who, as well as the serjeants and most of
the corporals, had taken no part in the mutiny. They
then sent an Officer, with ten men, to Colonel Vigo,
who, with the three other companies, was at Busdongo.
The Colonel immediately called his three companies
together, told them what had passed, and asked if
they would obey, and make the mutinous return to
their duty ? They all declared themselves ready to
follow him wherever he pleased.
Encouraged by this, Vigo sent word to the muti-
neers, that he could never negociate with those under
his command on such a subject; that he was resolved
to make them return to their duty, and if they
did' so voluntarily, he would again receive them.—
This answer, and the firmness of the Officers, induced
the men to return to their duty, and they set out on
their march in perfect order. The Colonel, however,
would not let them join the others till they had got
beyond la Robla.

The meetirAg of the men was most affectionate, and
they all continued their march with the greatest joy
and enthusiasm to this city, where they remain till
to-morrow, and have given the most satisfactory
proofs of repentance and attachment to the Constitution.

The Paris Papers of Monday have been received.
A telegraphic dispatch from Strasburg of the pre-
ceding day announced that CARON had been con-
demned to death. ROGETs who was accused of kid-
napping, or of being an accessory to it, was referred
back to the Tribunal at Colmar.
The individuals condemned to death in the affair
of Saumer, are always together in the same dungeon,
with the exception of SENECRAULTs for whom a re-
spite has come. On the first night they were placed
• I
in such heavy collars and iron chains, which pressed
so heavily on their legs, that BERTON, who could not
bear them, complained to the Prefect. The Magis-
trate, having gone into the durgeon, ordered the iron
collars to be taken off, and lighter chains to be put
on the feet of the condemned. The five condemned
mess together and live in common. BERTON pays for
JAGLIN ; he also sent money to the mother of the
latter. He has also made in the prison a distribution
of money to the other condemned. SAUCE, though
63 years'old, shews muck firmness, and never ceases
to encourage his companions to die. He sings to
them every day after dinner songs, which they alt
repeat in full chorus. As to BERTON, he has never
wavered for a moment.

The intelligence from Spain in these papers is, as
usual, little more than a list of assertions respecting
petty movements said to have been made and petty
advantages said to have been obtained, in which con-
tradiction forms the chief feature. The Royalists now
pre:end that QUISADA gained the victory, which
they had previously admitted he had lost ; but they
are forced to avow that through his retreat into Ca-
talonia, the whole of Navarre has fallen into the hands
of the Constitutionalists, and that there is no longer
a Royalist army in that province. They, however,
boast that they will do great things in other parts.--.,
The advices from Madrid are to the 12th instant, but
bring nothing new.

An article from Naples, dated the Gth inst. says,
that Vesuvius had sent forth a great quantity of flames
for the two days preceding.
A band of freebooters, who infested the environs
of Naples, is entirely extinguished, by means of the
vigorous measures adopted towards them. •
The intelligence from Greece in these Papers tends
to confirm the advantages previously stated to have
been gained over the ferocious Turks. They also
give an account of other successes. The total failure
of the combined and desperate attack made by the
Turks, throne the assistance of the Austrians, on
the Morea, is no longer doubtful. It is equally clear
that they now feel the recoil of their vain attempt,

the main Grecian corps which carried on Offensive
operations in Livadiaand.Thessaly, at the time when
Austtian ships conveyed the Turks to the Morea, stile
still acting in those countries,-and cut off the poi.
bility of further retreat, whilst the victorious Ifni;
reans, after re-occupying Corinth and its citadel, are
advancing in front across the Isthmus. Under such
circumstances we should not be surprised to hear,
unless indeed the Austrians should again send vessels
to carry off their friends, that the pretended con-
querors of the Morea had purchased their lives by
the sacrifice of their liberty.
These accounts are the more remarkable as they
appear in the Manifestt and the Drapeau Blanc,
Journals which are by no means faiourable to the
cause of the Greeks.

When we first announced the death of the Marquis
of LONDONDERRY, we stated that it must occa.ion
further changes in the Administration than merely
appointing a new Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs ; and, although no other alterations have yet
taken place, yet we feel persuaded that they are not
very. distant. The Earl of HARROWXY, whose health
has been for some time on the decline,has signified to
his. MAJESTY his desire to resign the Presidency of the
Council, and to retire from public life. We have not yet
heard who is to be his successor, but it is an office
there can be no difficulty in filling up.
Mr. VANSITTART, who; in all the changes of Ad-
minisvation that have taken place for the last five
and twentryears, has always contrived to nestle in
some good place, still clings to the Chancellorship of
the Exchequer. Indeed, as conducting the mere de-
tail of office is all that he ever undertook, except
saying ditto to the Marquis of LONDONDERRY in the
House of Commons, he will probably continue in
office until the meeting of Parliament ; but we can-
not think he will venture to retain the office any
longer ; for if he should, the first shot from TIERNEY
or BROUGHAM will be sure to dislodge 'Aim.
The new Viceroy of India is not yet appointed-
The choice of individuals is now said to lay princi-
pally between Lord WILLIAM FlENvtivex and Mr.
CHARLES WYNN. Were this really the case we think
there could be no difficulty in making the selection;
since the one is the most fit, and the other the least
fit fin- the office of any person in the kingdom. Lord
WM. BENTI NCK has abilities, experience, and industry ;
his honest and manlycharacter are universally admit-
ted. The government of Madras, the command of the
British Forces in the Mediterranean, with their suc-
cessful operations, the glory of which was snatched
from them and sacrificed as the purchase-money of
Austrian friendship; his.diplomatic labours in Sicily,
and his internal administration in that country, form
a mass of evidence in his favour, and are the best
proofs of his experience and abilities.
Mr. CHARLES WYNN is a hopeful scion of the
GRENVILLE party; his whole talents, reputation, and
experience, are included in this to him fortunate and
important circumstance. But it is really an insult to
Lord WILLIAM BENTINCE to name Mr. WYNN in
competition with him; and their comparative merits
may be very fairly expressed in an Epigram of some
ten years standing, only altering the names of the

parties :
Wirsor and Borrmcz, 0! bow they sound!
A penny and a thousand pound,
A cock-boat and a man of war,
A glow-worm and a blazing star !
_ _ _ _ _

A Morning Paper states, that the " Earl of Lives-
POOL, at the request of the friends of Mr. C. WYNN,
is exerting all his influence (in the event of this
Gentleman's being refused the Government of
India), with Mr. MANNERS SUTTON, to induce
him to resign the Chair of the House of Commons,
and accept of India in its stead. Should the latter
Gentleman consent to this arrangement, hopes are
entertained that all matters may be satisfactorily ad-
justed. The Court of Directors, it is supposed, from
the conciliatory. and business-like character of Mr.
MANNERS SUTTON, would at all events have fewer
objections to this appointment than to that of Dir.
WYNN."

made to him as a Member,on the former sitdn-g, and
a report of the proceedings which had appeared in
some of the daily Papers ; he therefore submitted
%Anther Colonel.DEAKE should not be called in for
the purpose? •
Colonel DRAKE was called. in, and. producing a
respectable Morning Paper, distinctly disavowed iris
bowleg ever expressed any opinion on the charges
now before the Court, and with much earnestness
asked if, after having taken a solemn oath, it could
be supposed he would be affected by it?
The JUDGE-ADVOCATE stated, that it was impos-
sible any imputation could lie against the Colonel,
but this was one of the inconveniences atten:ling the
publication of proceedings before they were ended.
Captain Jess, with the very forcible manner re-
! marked before, here asked Colonel DRAKE whether
fie had not 'made observations to him in the Riding-
house on one of the charges, which sheaved he had
already decided his opinion on the whole?
Colonel DRAKE made no reply.
Colonel HILL then desired to be examined, and was
so, as well as the Quartermaster and Adjutant, but
nothing material. occurr ed.
Captain JEER then rose, and requested that hit
Counsel might be permitted to read his address, as,
from some interlineations, it was incooreilic..t for
him to do it.

A long discussion sock place, when Ca t. JEsa
read it himself, as follows:
Colonel, President, and Gentlemen of this honourable Court,

—I shall not detain you by prefatory ohservationa longer than is
absolutely necessary to explain to your just sense of rt.inary t:1
eipline my actual position in the case before you. :acing in.:l
the honour to serve in two of the best It gimer.ts in his .i.-
jesty's service, the 29th Foot and the Scot; (ir:ys, and n:arl,
fifteen years in the Blues, with peculiar approbation, I am sure
you will recognize the feelings with which I am, tor the first
time in my life, put on my trial; and on charges which, though
in their full extent they individually imply not ailything dero;a-
tory to my character as a soldier, are yet, collectivay, very repug-
nant to my spirit as a gentleman. Whence they have arisen I shail
not seek to discover; but of this, I trust, I shall be able to con-
vince you, that either they must have been generated by an extra-
ordinary misconception of omminci.in onspar, or the highl y dis-
tinguished persons, whose testimonials I am unwillingly obliged
to produce, must have most extraordinarily have mistaken my
character for upwards of twenty years, and to the present mo-
ment. My first knowledge of these charges took place when
having been, under ciramistances hereafter to be described, ab-
sent for a part of four days, which came not under the designa-
tion of absence without leave. On the 10th of last month I was
ordered to attend Sir Robert Hill, when he was pleaied to pro-
pose arrangements, which, however profitable to me in seine
points of view, I could not accede to, with that sense of honour
which I hope ever has, and ever will, direct me. I am thus
before you, Gentlemen, and am happy to leave to your discri-
mination and experience the decision of my case. You have
heard the evidence, and have ho doubt remarked the tone in

hich much of it was given : I shall now proceed to examica
what it has proved.
In support of the first charge there has bet n produced an ord:r
of Sir Robert Hill's, made last year in the country quarters, and,
as far as I have been able to construe, it applied chiefly to the
Clerks of Troops, and the adjustment of their accounts. This I
know, that neither myself nor any other Officer ever considered
it in the light of an imperative command that he should pay the
Quartermaster of his troop any charge which may arise against
him, often of the most trifling amount, precisely on the Quarter-
day; or, rather, as would appear from the evidence oil another
charge, to the very moment the clock strikes twelve on Quarter-
day, whether he shall be present or not, on duty, or on leave.—
It is a matter, as you know, Gentlemen, entirely between his
Quartermaster and himself; unless, indeed, the latter, or rather
in his person, the service should sustain any injury, which is not
even asserted in this case. The witness called to prove a vim
latiotr of this order, did indeed, in answer to a question put to
him by me, to ascertain that fact, say, in a manner th.tt could
not be lost upon the Court, that it had injured his character ;
and when asked how, explained it by his having received notice
of a bill which he had received in payment from Capt.in Jebb,
and for which he bad obtained cash from Mr. Jennings, of
Windsor, being unpaid. That bill, Gentlemen, was the security
for a valuable consideratiou, of a person (as you will hear proved)
of West India property to the value of £6,000 a-ye..r, and was
payable at his Merchant's, an eminent firm in London, where
many thousands had been paid on his account, and where I could
not but suppose so small an amount would be readily paid. And
how lung did it remain unpaid? The Quartermaster has hi-
formed you four days • why it was even thus long, shall, I
hope, satisfactorily explain. I was then at Salt Hill, where I
heard, to my astonishment, of its nonpayment on one day, the
following day I went to Mr. Jennings, to satisfy him on the
subject, and relieve the Quartermaster from every responsibility.
I had to go to London for the money, to return to Salt Hill,
and then to go to Windsor with the money. 31r. Jennings was
satisfied—he would have indulged nie in any nay; but I as
no indulgence ; I got the money as quickly as the three
distances would allow, and las promptly paid it. I know not
what may be the refinement of my Quartermaster's idol upon
his personal character, but this we all know, that the inas:t opu-
lent merchant in London, who should indorse a bill to the 13auk
of .England, which was not paid when due, would cunsider the
very delicate nature of his character injured by its passage
through his hands; nor could he do more than pay It himself
when returned to him.

To prove the breach of the order, Quartermaster Speed said
that he had regularly presented the accounts every three months
to me, and I bad not settled them, nor taken any steps so to do,
not, as he several times repeated, according fo the order ; that
is to say, his new construction of it ; and in corroboration pointed
out in his book,*an instance where be said I had paid five quar-
tersitt once. In this ft is evident he was, in common with other
witnesses, in error. However this payment was made to hint
.in June, Intl, just Ilfteen months ago' and that neither before,
nor dining these fifteen months, had he, either from his legal
-precision in -construing orders, or his extreme sensibility of cha-
racter, discovered that I had done him wrong, the Ilegitr.ent
errong; the service, or in fact, any wrong at all, till the present
oeciwforhetecharges, for the first time in my long service,
were to be framed against mei as be informed me, and be was
`peeuliaily called ipso to contribute to them. I say peculiarly,
from the circumstance of his acquainting me of it a few days
tact; chit he had been even interrogated whether the last money
which I paid hint was really money ? Gentlemen, this witness
has been My. Quartermaster and Clerk of my Troop for seven
/yews. It is not my habit to indulge in hmillarity with arch
'persons, and therefore there was no propitiation oa my part, if
the,order hoteven been by him construed, or others, to this
,Weety of payment of the current accounts. The amount-was
settled and the order virtually obeyed, when it was submitted
to me that mms, gush as ls. Bd. for the Veterinary Surveil,
Ted. for Barrack dantagra, ss. for Clerking, Is. fur nails for We
stables, a few ihilling* for repair of arms, and were admitted lay
me to be correctly charged, and he could have the money when
be wanted it. He distinctly, in his evidence, said that be never
salted me for matey, thounk he afterwards, on intetrogatiwt„
endeavours, rather aingalatly as a witness, to argue that the
