(Hear, hear.) At the same time they offered tu enter into an amicable negotiation on the subject, tu prevent any misunderstanding arising be tween the subjects of the two powers. , The condemnation of a British ship in a Spanish prlte Court, in Porto Rico, had also been brought before Parliament, by Sir James Macintosh. The circumstances stated were, that thie vessel was bound from Buenos Ayres to some other port of South America, and was sir zed aqd con demned lor an alleged contravention of tho Colonial Laws ol Spain. Jt was con tended by Sir'Jamea Macintosh, that "ac cording to the principles of international law, no right existed of any power stop ping vessels from trading with territories which it claimed, but which were no lon ger in its possession; the only way of pre venting such proceedings, was by acknow ledging the independence of the South American State*.” Advices from Madrid are to the 1st ult. the Cortes were prorogued the day before.

From O dcssa the letters are dated on the 7!h of JuAe. At that time the Turks had not cvucuated either Wallachia or Muldavilt, nor was there the slightest hope that’they had any intention of doing so. No part of the Russian army had retired from the Pruth; and notwithstanding the supposed arrangement ul all differences betwixt the legimate Government of Turkey and Rus sia, the same hatred and distrust conti nued. It is totally impossible, that in their present spirit and’feelings, 'these two empires can remain long without com ing to hostilities, and the sooner an effort is made td expel the Anti-Christians from Europe, the better will it be for the civi lized part ul the world. ♦Letters from Holland report, that ad vices had been received from Constanti nople, dated so late as the 8th of -June, by which the information had been made known that the Asiatic troops..which had arrived there from the Provinces had been ordered again to occupy Wallachia anil Moldavia. . Should this prove correct, it may be considered that the sword and not the pen, is the necessary instrument for. a negotiation with the Sublime Porte. it is now understood that the Christian Governments have been grossly (though' nu doubt unintentionally) deceived by their Ministers at Constantinople) on the subjoct of the negotiations, The Greeks nave successively defeated Chourchid Pacha at Kartditva. the Pacha of Salonica, at Caria Vera, and the Turk iah corps d’arinre at Lariesa.

Sib—After a prolonged and almost tin interrupted session of six weekq> the first Court organised for the trial of Slaves charged with an attempt to raise an in surrection io this city, was dissolved on the 20th ult. Another Court tvas sub- sequently convened, and after a session of three days, closed the unpleasant in vestigation with which it was charged, and adjourned on the 6tb inst. sine die. During the interesting period occupied hy the Court first organized, the public mind waa agitated by a variety of rumours calculated to produce great excitement and alarm. These had their origin in the -nature of the transaction, and the sercrecy and seclusion observed in the incipient stages of enquiry ; as but few of the cir cumstances were known to the commu nity, and the number apprehended and sentenced to the severest punishment, be yond any former example, certainly gave place to exaggeration, and the general im pression sustained the rumour of a very extensive conspiracy. The effects resulting from these reports, if uncontrolled by an exhibition of the facts are too obvious to require commeut. The reputatioo of the State must suffer a- broad, and a rapid deterioration of pro perty occfir arithio ; while auapicion and anxiety will continue long tn mar the public tranquillity. It becomes, therefore, a duty imperiously obligatory on me. ' < represent the occurrences al they hate transpired, and thus evidence to you, that the attempt his not been greutly magni fied, but as soon u discovered, it ceased to Ira dangerous. A servant prompted by attachment to his master, communicated to him, that he hud been requested tu give his assent sml subscribe his name to a list of persons al. ready engaged in the conspiracy. Tlio Intendant immediately received ihe in formation, and caused the arrest of 3 slaves of Mr, Paul; one of whom was subsequently identified by the servant making the coimminicition. The City Council was convened, end after a very close and attentive examinations general impression was produced, that but little credence could attach to the statement. A prudent caution was neverthelessexer- cised, ami the fellow charged committed Io solitary imprisonment. A few days alter his confinement, he made many dis-a closures to s member of Council, but so 1 amplified the circumstances, that the ut most credulity was requisite to the belief of his tale. Some consternation was obviously pro duced amongst a few of the conspiritora hy the arrest of these slaves, and 1 cannot doubt led to a detail more plausible and deserving of attention. Another servant whose name is also concealed from pru. dential motives, stated generally, that such a combination actually existed, and mentioned the names of several who wera most conspicuous io their exertions, ad- f ding with great confidence, that the explo sion of their schemes would occur on th» ensuing Sunday oight. This confession, was given on Thursday the 13th June, atift contained the recital of several occur, rences which would precede the attempt and evidence the intention. This sug gested the propriety, while it sanctioned the eflifrt, to conceal from the community the intelligence thus received, for the in tervening time; during which, exfensiva and efficient preparations were made fur the safety and protection of the City. Sa- turday night and Sunday morning passed without the predicted demonstrations; doubts were again excited, and counter orders issued diminishing the guard. The facts communicated were generally know u t« our fellow citizens on Sunday ; pro ducing a night of sleepless anxiety. Hut no one of the predicted (or any other) oc currences, presented itself to disturb the general tranquillity, On the 18th June, 10 slaves were ar rested, and on the 19th the Court was or ganized for their trial. Investigation was retarded by the difficulty of procuring au. Ihentic evidence, and it was not until the 28th that the sentence nf death was pro nounced sgainst six of the persons charg ed with the offence. Denmark Vesey, a free negro, was arrested on the 21st, and on the 22d put on his trial. Although he was unquestionably the instigator and chief of this plot, no positive proof of his guilt appeared until the 23th, This grew out of the confession of one of Ihe con victs, and on the 37th, his guilt was fur. liter- established by a servant of Mr, Fer guson. The progress made, and Ihe expecta- tons of immunity from punishment, by confession, gred ially developed (lie plot, and produced the arrest of several others fortunately, two who were principals, Monday Gell and Gullah Jack, Tnese with three others, John Horry, Charles Drayton, and Harry Haig, were convicted and sentenced to die on Friday the 12tU July last; but at the suggestion of tho Court, that important communications were expected from them, Monday Gell, Charles Brsyton and Harry Ilaig were respited. The arrest of Pcrau!t,a servant of Mr, Stroheckcr, which took place the day pre. vipus to the respite, ami the general and very important discoveries made by him, enabled the Committee of Vigilance, not only to elicit Ihe confirmation of his state ment from the three convicts, but to ap prehend a great number of persons en gaged in the plot. Among ethers, Wtk. Garner, reputed to be one of the prinen- pala, the only one not then apprehended. The number of persons at this period under arrest, evinced the necessity of such arrangements of (lie testimony, ns would enable the Court to progress with more rapidity. This duty devolved on (lie Committee of Vigilance ; and princi pally from the general information of Pe- ranlt, and nf the convicls Monday Gell and Charles Drayton, facility was given to the further proceedings <if the Court. In the short space of seven days, 32 Ne groes were convicted ; 22 of whom were executed on Friday tire 20th July j and within four days after II others weru convicted, 4 of whom have also been ex ecuted. Having established the existence of. a plot, and the places of rendezvous, (all that was deemed requisite for conviction was to prove an association with the Ringleaders, and so expression of their assent to the measure- On such general ly, the sentence of death has been exe cuted. Others, who without actually combining, were proved to have known of the conspiracy, and to have given their sanction by any act, have been sentenesd to die, and their punishment commuted to banishment from the U. States ; or, sentenced in the first instance to banish ment from this State, or from the United States. In this manner the whole number, 72, have been disposed of; 35 exeen'ed and 37 sentenced to banishment- With these we msy reasonably conclude, that we have (reached (he extremities of this conspiracy ; and this opinion, if not con clusive, is entitled to great weight, when we advert to the extraordinary measures pursued to effect the object, end the mo tives which influenced the accuse|t-'
