      FRANCE . By a decision of the Chamber of ' Accusation of the 2 a instant , the editor of Le Messager is to be tried for a libel at the flext : session of the Court of Assizes of the Seine * The ^ affair : will consequently come before the jury , and the editor of the incriminated jourpakwill h ? flowed to , adduce ^ evidence to substantiate his assertions . M . Mauguin , the celebrated barrister and deputyj has undertaken his 'defence . I

      ;~; The National says , that domiciliary | visits continue both in Paris and the 7 environs , without any apparent motive on the part of the police . The Juge de Paix oiArgenteuil , accompanied by two Gendarmes , bis Greffier , and a garde-champetre , paid a visit on Sunday night , at ten o ' clock , to a manufactory of that Village , and the visit was prolonged till nearly four o ' clock in the morning . The magistrate , in spite of the remarks and protestations

      of the master of the house , is stated to have performed his duty in the roughest manner , and without the Blightest regard- either ; to the illness of one of the family , or to he eircumstance that his presence was required at a fire which fcrofce out in the commune .: The inmate ? . , of the manufactory were detained close prisoners while . the , yisit lasted , and no witnesses were aUowed to be present The object of the yisit is not mentioned by thisjournal .

      ' The Journal de , Paris dwells on the apprehensions felt by the Ministry at the increasing popularity of thei petition for an electoral reform . This print denies the assertion of the Ministerial press that the Parliamentary Opposition is not in favour of a progressive electoral reform , and that on this question it has formed an unfair league with the Legitimatist Opposition to overthrow the Cabinet . *\ It i « absurd , " Hays the Journal de Paris , "to suppose that the Parliamentary Opposition would repeal a measure as conformable to its party interests a < it is justly desired by all who charge the electoral institution with the strange anomalies into which the representative monarchy has fallen . Nay , more , we con end that every independent and

      capable Ministry must voluntarily favour the reform of the electoral power to re-establish the Parliamentary power . The constitational O pposition has no interest in weakening the springs of the Grovern men ^ but'is desirous of emancipating the Cabinet from Court influences . It is m « re especially against the Court party that the petitions for electoralreform are directed . The fundamental idea of the petitioners is the regeneration of the Elective Chamber , and the only adversary of this commencement of reform , which would be followed b y so many others , is the Court party . Sooner or later , the present Ministry will give way to the representatives nf the Parl amentary party , which considers an electoral reform necessary to the consolidation ol the Charter .

      SPAIN . It is reported that fresh divisions have manifested themselves in the Spanish Cabinet , and that the Aeputies of the majority of the Cortes were making every effort to prevent a modification before the opening of the session . Forty of those deputies had held a meeting in the convent of the Capuchins , in order to concert measures for the approaching Parliamentary campaign , and had resolved on address ning a circular letter to all their colleagues in the provinces or abroad , inviting them to hasten to attend the preparatory proceedings . M . Isturiz was to be the candidate for th « Presidency , The Opposition members present in Madrid amounted to thirty-eight .

      EXECUTION OF THE CARLIST GENERAL FUEN MAYER , AT MADRID . The following are additional particulars respecting the death by garotte of this brave man :- — The General was condemned for having taken part in a Carljst conspiracy at Madrid , under the name of Ortez Velasco , but after sentence was pronounced he declared his real name and quality , aad addressed the following letter to the Queen : ¦ " Senofa —Don Jose MariaFuen Mayer , Marechal de Camp of the Army of NavarreChevalier of the

      , Order of St . James , Grand Cross of St . FerdiDand , suhmirs with respect to your Majesty , that having been condemned to death without the legal forms in respect to the fueros being observed , that puni < hmvat is less grievous to him than the idea that he w to .-utter an ignominious death from whica his rank should protect him * He , therefore , entreats your Majesty to countermand his sentence , and to order that he should be shot , which will be a death more ronformahJe to his rank , and more consistent witb the war which has caused bis condemnation .

      " , He hopes tor this favour from your Majesty , to whom he prays Heaven to give many > ears . "Jose Maria Fuen Mayer . " Madrid , Sept . 17 , 1838 . " It was formerly the custom for the hangman to enter the chapel with the person condemned , but this practice is no longer observed . On this occasion , however , the old custom was adopted under the appreheusibn that the Carlists would carry off the executioner by force , and thus compel the Governmt-nt to . ihdot their victim .

      A few moments before the condemned were placet ' in the chapel their wives left the prison where they were confined . The wife of Fuen Mayor wts accompanied by a captain of the regiment of the Queen Regent , whe had prepared his defence . During the whole day General Fuen Mayer preserved an extraordinary calmness . He conversed with much spirit and dignity with the clergymen and the sisters of charity , who waited upon him . He d ' p l . yed a superior mind , and complained only of the circumstance that , having sought for death so often iu the held of battle , withont being able to meet it , it was now to tall upon him in so ignoble a

      manner . He ate very little during the evening ; and he said in the morning that he did not sleep because one of the jailers had informed him that his only brother was killed at the affair at Quintanar . " This freshmiffortutie , " said the General , " takes away all my resolution . " At night he made his wllj constituting his wife sole heiress of all the property which he could dispose of . He also mentioned in hi * will that time would render justice to bis memory , and that it would be understood he was nor condemned for any infamous crime , but merely for a political cause . His courage did not abandon him for a moment .

      On the day for which the execution was fixed , when Fuen Mayer was clad in the garment of death , be displayed a religious resignation which could scarcely be expected , because , on entering the chapel , he frequently said that what was more terrible to him than death was to walk in the ignominious livery , and in the company of the hangman . After having put on the dresg , he embraced the brothers of charity who waited on him , and some members of the National Guard . He thanked them tenderly for the cafe they had shown him * and he asked several of them to accompany him to the scaffold .

      At eleven o ' clock , he set out for the place of execution , in the midst of the gloomy escort . His countenance was unmoved ^ He asked all those who w » re detained In the prisoP to pray for hi * soul . He demanded pardon fro ., the servants of the prison , and made the custoroary praver-and reverence at the dbor . He passed through the crowd of peo p le who were assembled from curiosity- ; he mounted the odious scaffold ; he wished to address a few words toj the people , but desisted at the request of the authorities ; he obeyed the order , and bent bis neck to the executioner . .

      "We need only add that the garotte , by which this unfortunate gentleman was launched into eternity , is the regularfmotie of execution at Madrid . The criminal , wrapped upi in a loose white dress , ' with a hood , which falls over the , head and face , is p lace sitting in a chair with his back to a frame of wood . A small iron ring is previousl y placed round his throat . The ring is acted upon by a screw from behind , and the death of the victim is insta taneoui . The face is then uncovered .: It has become black in the course of a few minutep , The body is left seated in the chair , for several hours , for the edification of the people . . ¦¦ ¦' . ¦¦

      DESTRUCTIVE EIRE AT LIVERPOOL , WITH A TERRIBLE EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF LIFE . On Friday night last , a terrible fire occurred in in Robert-street North , leading from Great Howardstreet to the Prince ' s Dock . Jtbrokeout in one of a range of six warehonseB , filled with bonded and free stores , on the south side of the street , belonging to Messrs . H . Davies and Co ., King-street j they are of great height—seven or eight stories , s ^ bout nine o ' clock , as a car driverwaspassiug , he observed smoke issuing frpm the third . story of the wani $ | it& nearest but one in the direction of Great Hb w » niatreet , and immediately gave the alarm ; buiithe inflammable nature of the goods contained in the room from whence the fire proceeded , caused it-to spread rapidly . v This warehouse contained a large quantity of

      cotton belonging to Messrs . W . and J . Brown , Messrs . Molyneux , Witterby , and € o ., and Messrs ; Wilds , Pickersgill and Co ., besides 2 . 200 bales ol wool . About eleven o ' clock , the flames no longer confining themselves to their original location , 4 ) urst forth and proceeded up the doors to the cat-head , when all the upper stories were in a general blaze . The wind at this time was brisk , and materially assisted the progress of the flames . Arrived at the top , the flames extended vbemselves to the next warehouse , beginning with the cat-head and extending downwards . The second warehousei was unfortunately filled with a stock of merchandise even more valuable than the first , the great bulk of it being composed of East India produce , consisting of indigo , shumac , pepper , gums , sago , ami saltpetre .

      At this period , the first warehouse having been abandoned to its fate , the exertions of all presem were directed towards saving as much as possible ol the valuable goods in the second warehouse . In the meantime the fire exhausted its fury on the ' warehouse where it commenced , which was completely jjutted , and in a short time ttie front tell iui « tiie street with a terrific crash , but owing to the timely precaution given , no accident renultea . About five o ' clock this morning , a considerable quantity oi goods had been taken from that ; warehouse , aud removed into Hill-street North . The goods iu the cellars and two lower stories ' of tiie building could not be extracted with safety , as a great quantity of saltpetre wasknowu to be deposited

      in the cellars , and as the fire continued to bu n dowuwards , an explosion was momentarily expected . Thin disaster was too soon realised . About ball-past eight o ' clock on Saturday morning , the fire penetrated to the cellars , containing , in addition to saltpetre , a considerable quantity of rosin and other combustible matter . ^ The effect of the explosion wad awful , it was experienced not merely in the vicinity of the fires , but at distances far removed fr «> m the sceiie . it vsaa nke the shock of an earthquake , and the crash was heard as far as Evertim . Tne adjoining ship bread bakery , a building three stories hign , which had not received th « . "lightest injury from trw fire , was crumbled into ruins ; a wheelwrights' yard , adjoining the bakery , which contained a small

      dwelling-house , shared the same fate ; the windows of nearly every house in the neighbouring streets were smashed to atoms ; fragments of the burning cotton were blown across the river , and picked up on the Cheshire share . Even the ships in th « Waterloo Dock were placed in great danger . The jib-boom of the Jacoo Pained caught fire , and the rigging ol the Constitution was also in flames . The hatch way . s of . the various vessels were instantly pnt down , and evvry necessary precaution adopted to prevent further mischief . No . 3 pilot-boat received much injury from largr- quantities of burning materials falling on her deck . A poor womau ^ passing through the Clarence Dock at the ; time , had her clothes set on fire , and was seriously burnt . A huge beau

      : w « s carried from the warehouse into an entry in Dennisou-street , and a large piece of iron , weighing n <> t less than 2 b * lbs . passed over the Manchester and Bolton tavrrin and fell on the open space in front of Gibraltar-street . Mr . Pass , butcher , of Deunison-street , had unfortunately at this time ventured into an adjacent court , in the hope « f being able to rescue some pigs which he kept there , when t * o or three bales of burning cotton fell opon him , and before his body could be removed he was burnt almost to a cinder . Another man was taken up apparently sunbeated and taken to the Northern hot-pital , but was soon restored . A police nan was also taken to the hospital severely bruised . The saltpetre seemed to be chiefly kept in the cellars , and thet

      ' orce ol the explosion was so great that the foundations oF many of the houses in Robert-street and Dennisonrstreet were driven in . There was r-carcely a house in Hill-street , Robert-street , and Dennison-street , bnt was covered with cotton in some places a foot thick and in a burning state , and even the windows of some of the houses inChisenhall-street , a considerable distance fyom the scene of devastation , were broken . Tne houses in Hill-street aud Robert-street were occupied by respectable tenants ; those in Dennison-street were chiefly lodgiug-houses for sailors . They present a most diatracted appearauce :, the wrndows and wuiidowtrames beiiig almost wholly destroyed , . and the inhabitants having nearly all vacated them with their

      tunnture . It is impossible , of course , in the bnaye . and confusion consequent upon such an alarming disaster , to collect any very full particulars of the matter ; but , we believe , the above and those which " we subjoin will in the main be found to be correct It is not yet known how the fire originated . The property , we believe , is nearly all insured . The principal sufferers will , we understiand , be' the Suni Liverpool , and Manchester offices . In Robert-street North , opposite the burning warehouses , is a large yard , with extensive sheds ; in this yard were upwards of 2 , 000 baleiS ' Df caXOsir belonging to Messrs . William and if . Brown a&d Co . The effect of the explosion told fearfull y upon this immense pile of cotton , for it was instantly in flames , and the . united exertions oi the firemen were nnable to save it from deatrnction . Not a : vestige of i t , we

      OUieve , remains . | Another shed , containing heavy ! piles of cottpn , on the north of Jiin-street , belonging to tb . fe same respectable 'firm , tookjfire , persons were einployed in pourin g water on ^ the roof of itiiW shed , and tlds property was thus saved from fflrther injury * V , o A ^ secorid : explosion took place about ten o ' clock , but it was neither so terrific nor accompanied . w ^ th such destructive results ds the iiratw ' r - ~' ¦ After the appearance of the flanies a considerable time elapsed before any water could be jproctired , and the first obtained was brought from tne canal , an hour at least after tiie fire broke , out . • ' / Mr .
