take place."
A letter 'from Naples states, that the Ktwo has
given General PEPE the power of awarding such re-
compenses as he thinks proper to the soldiery ; and
that he had also left to the General the determina-
tion of the fate of the rebellious soldiers of the Regi-
ment of Farnese, in consequence of which he had
sentenced them to a double decimation—that is, that
one in every ten should be twice selected from
amongst them and shot. _
The Revolutionists of Benevento, whom the Go-
vernment of Naples refused to take under their pro-
tection, have, it is said, formed themselves into a
Republican Government.
A Journal of Lyons says, that letters from Milan
announced that " a number of arrests had recently
taken place, and that the Austrian Government had
received intelligence of the existence of a Secret So-
ciety, composed of about two hundred Officers who
have Served under BONAPARTE, and the greater part
of whom now reside in Piedmont. Immediately on
the receipt of this intelligence, orders were given to
the Austrian Resident at Seste-Call enda, not to allow
any individual, even for an hour, to traverse without
a passport the Lake Maggiore. This order was exe,
cuted with the greatest.strictness, and many Italians
who had come from Seste to Piedmont, furnished
with good passports for a single day, were placed
under surveillance."

Of the counter-revolutionary attempt in Spain, we
do not now hear a single word. Even the Gazette
de France can manufacture nothing more on the sub-
ject ; and is forced, by its silence, to leave its charac-
ter for veracity to the public scorn.
Accounts from Majorca, of the 16th July, an-
nounce, that the total number of deaths since the
origin of the contagion was, at that date, 1720, in
the four towns or villages to which it had been kept
confined. The malady was beginning to diminish in
intensity, and the number of convalescents and cured
augmented daily.
The extract from a private letter from Paris, which
we subjoin, contains an important piece of informa-
tion respecting the former conduct of the Russian
Government with respect to the recognition of the
Spanish Cones. It shews that ALExAmme, its 1812,
solemnly recognized as legitimate both the Cortes
and the Constitution, which .he now denounces as
unlawful.

EXTRACT OP A PRIVATE LETTER FROM PARIS, DATED
• AUGUST-8.
" The French Government did tot permit the ra-
ris Journals to publish the Mite of the Russian Ca-
binet, until after it appeared in the Papers of Milan
and Florence, which printes it some time before it
reached you. I have now before• me the Treaty of
the Bth (20th) July, 1812, referred to in the Russian
Note. This Treaty, which was concluded at Weiliki-
Luki, a small town in the Government of Pskoff, is
a Treaty of Alliance concluded with the Spanish
Supreme Council of Government, acting in the name
of Ferdinand VII. and then holding its sittings at
Cadiz. The Spanish negociator was the very same
Don Francisco de Zea BerMudez to whom the Russian
Note. is addressed. The Treaty was signed on the
part of Russia by the Chancellor Romanzoff. By
the third Article of this Treaty, his Majesty, the
Emperor of all the Russias recognizes the legitimacy
of the General and Extraordinary Cortes, assembled
at Cadiz, as well as the Constitution which they have
decreed and sanctioned:—How can this Article be
reconciled with the Note of the 20th of April (March
2), addressed to the Spanish Minister? I have re-
ceived very positive assurances that the Ministers of
the great Powers are now preparing a Declaration
from the Holy Alliance, on the subject of the late
events in Spain and Naples. This Declaration, or
profession of principles, will be published with the
greatest solemnity. The Censorship has prevented
the Paris JoUrnals from giving this news."

We have received Demerara Papers to the end of
June. On the Ist, the registration of the slaves in
that Colony, commenced according to law. The
registration is to .be made by each owner of slaves
upon oath, and transmitted to the officer appointed
for that purpose. His Excellency Governor Woon-
FORD had arrived at Grenada, from Trinidad, in the
ship Melanthor, incog. The accounts from Barba-
does by this conveyance state; that the elections for
the Colonial Parliament had been ccmpleted, and
that all the former Members, excepting two, had
been re-elected. On the 30th of May, his Excellency
the Governor (Lord COMBERMERE) opened the pro-
ceedings of the twoßouses with a speech, in which
he regretted that the time approached for his depar-
ture from that Colony, and took his farewell of the
two Houses. His Excellency also explained the oc-
casion of his dissolving the House of Assembly the
previous Session, in consequence ,s of that House
haring neglected to take into consideration mea-
sures tending to the honour and advantage of the
Colony (and as such strongly recommended in his,
last Address), end having improperly interfered with
the prerogative vested in him by his MAJESTY.".
He further recommended to their consideration the
following subjects :-Ist. The revision and ameliora-
tion of the Slave LAws-r2d. The establishment of a
Police-3d. A permanent ptovision for the Colonial
Tharity School-4th. The revision of the Militia

and Fortification Acts. His Excellcqcy concludes
