CONSPIRACY AT VALENCIA.

A full statement has been made public of the particulars of this plot, with the names of the conspirators, and an account of their execution. Colonel Videl, their leader, had raised himself from the ranks, and was therefore a good officer, but of bad morals, and an extremely bad character.

Twenty-four hours were allowed the prisoners to make their defence, which is a mere matter of form, for no defence is ever listened to--and the day after, all the thirteen were condemned to be hanged--but the executioner, who is a poor slim fellow, with too much feeling for his employment, gave notice that he was ill, in consequence of having strangled, a father, son, son-in-law, and two cousins, the same week.

He was asked if he could hang one? he answered yes--so Vidal was fixed upon, and the others sentenced to be shot, and afterwards to be hanged up beside their fellow conspirators. Vidal, when brought out to his execution, was so emaciated by fever, as to be scarcely able to support himself; but just before he was turned off, being called a traitor to his country by the monk who attended him, he started, raised his head with a sort of convulsive effort, and looking the monk in the face, sternly exclaimed, "Traitor to my country! Never, Never! I have been too loyal to her, and for that I die." The following are the names of the remaining sufferers who were all shot;--Felix Beltram, receiver of the salt duties at the Grao; Diego Manuel Calatrava, Beltram's head clerk; Marcelino Rougel and Serafin Larossa, two sergeants: Peregrin Pla, Apothecary; Vicente Clemente, common soldier; Blas Feriol, shoemaker; Manuel Bendegear, and Francisco Segrera, two small proprietors in the village of Russafa; Louis Albino, a peasant; Francisco Gay and Louis Vive, two ship caulkers. Albino was the only one who consented to receive a confession--but as he was possessed of no secret, nothing could be learned from him.

The conspirators were all seated in a line, upon stools, and the execution was performed by 50 soldiers, who fired at the same instant. They all behaved with heroic fortitude and resolution.
