VALENCIA, SEPTEMBER 7.
The execution of General Elio has left on all men's
minds a deep impression. The scaffold was erected in
the Plain del Real, hear a public garden which he had
caused to be constructed while he was Governor and
ruled this city: The form of the execution was the
same as for any other criminal, with the exceptibn
that all the garrison was under arms. An immense
multitude covered the plain ; and at the moment the
execution took place, insulting cries mixed with those
of " Live the Constitution !" were heard. These cries
uttered by certain individuals excited the indignation
of the majority of the spectators. Among the rest a
treat number of women were observed in tears.
~When his sentence was notified to him, he received
it on his knees, embraced the reporter, and several
other persons, and begged that they would pardon
hip] if he had offended them during his life. Never did
a man appear more humble and resigned. The pride
of his character had entirely disappeared. During the
night it was necessary repeatedly to remove the Na-
tiOnal Guards who stood sentinels at the door of the
Chapel. He drew tears from all, and those who were
Most violent against him could not refrain from
shewing sympathy. No complaint against his Judges
was heard from him. His separation from his nu-
uierous family was what aiiiicted him most (most of
his children are very young). The death of Elio has
been celebrated by some violent persons; but had the
people of Valencia been consulted, he would have
been still alivc.—Journal dcs Deibals.

On passing sentence on some male and female
thieves, who behaved very indecently in the Circuit
Court at Glasgow, last Thursday, Lord MEADOW-
BANK said—,, Never in my life have I seen females
so hardened and so deeply sunk in depravity. Your
sentence is not yet pronounced, and it might be in-
creased in severity; but never shall private feeling
sway my mind, or cause me to aggravate punish-
ment."—This is a lesson for some English Judges.

In the year 1780, the city of New York contained
a population of only 30,000 : it now contains 135,000,
and contributes one-third of the entire revenue of the
United States. Such has been the rapid increase of
population and wealth in this city within the last 44)
years, that if it should progress, to use an American
solecism, at the same rate, New York will, it may be
reasonably conjectured, if no unlooked-for changes
take place, at no distant period, rise in commercial
importance with the most flourishing cities of the Old
Wlrld. Among the causes which have so much con-
tributed to this prosperous state of things, r4ay be
mentioned, the high advantages derived fro* their
great canal, and from the universal application of
the powers of steam to commercial navigation, in
vessels of all descriptions.
COLUMBIA.— A letter from Kingston, Jamaica,
thlted the 25th July, contains news of some irriport-
ancc to the traders with Columbia. The following is
an extract:
The chief purport of this letter is to advise you that the
official accounts of the total expulsion of the Spanish forces from
the department of Quito have just been malted. The city of
Quito surrendered to General Sucre on the 25th May, and Pasto
submitted to the Liberator, Bolivar, on the 7th of June, after se-
veral decisive actions, which have increased the claims of this ex-
traordinary man to the gratitude of his country. This intelli-
gence is so important, that I have to-day communicated the par-
ticulars to the Royal Gazelle, which you will receive by the regular
packet. Matters are now ripe for all the influence that can be
used with our Government to recognize the independence of a
State which will now become daily more important to the manu-
facturing and commercial interests of England. The conquest of
the Audience of Quito adds to the population of Columbia nearly
1,000,000 of persons. all animated with the best feelings, and the
Republic may now be considered free from the Royalists, except
the few men who are shut up in Puerto Cabello, whither Bolivar
was on his march, and it was expected that he would be before
it on the 20th of August at latest. From his-known rapidity,
little doubt can be entertained of the speedy fall of this fortress.
The articles of capitulation for. the Royal forces in Quito, arein
.the Santa FE Gazette of the 50th of June, by which it appears
that the whole of them surrendered prisoners of war, and were
to be sent to Chagres, and there to be embarked at the expense
of the Spanish Government to Cuba. We have already received
advice. from Porto Bello of the arrival of the prisoners at Pa-
nama, and that the British ships Bristol and Fan Fan, were
taken up at Chagres, to convey them to Ilavannah, /cc."
By this information it would appear that Columbia
may now be said to enjoy tranquillity as the reward
Of many years of toil and dangers ; and to cultivate
peace, and reap the advantages of freedom,will soon
be the only pursuits of the Government.
Accounts from Valparaiso, dated the 18th of May,
state that the cargo of the British ship Lord Cath-
cart had been condemned, it having been proved
Spanish property.
EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED ST. JAGO DE CHILI,
MAY 21, 1822.
" The army of San Martin has left Lima to operate
against that of La Serna, in the neighbourhood of
Caw). As the Spanish frigates are now in the hands
• of the Patriots, the Venganza having been taken by
Lord Cochrane, in Guayaquil River, and la Prueba
having entered Callao and surrendered, the Royalist
General will perhaps be inclined to enter into terms,
as he must see escape difficult in case of defeat. In
Chili we enjoy the greatest tranquillity, and the In.
dians have ceased to devastate the province of Con-
ception. A change of government, by introducing
partially a Representative system, is about taking
place, and will most likely be highly beneficial to
the count' y."
CHILI.---It would seem that the war the Araucanian
Indians have long carried on against the contiguous
province of Conception, has ceased. This was a ne-
Cessai y consequence of the fall of Lima, as it was
from the latter place the Indians received their sup-
plies, forwarded by the Viceroy, and 'distributed by
the agents be sent among them.
