FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, NOVEMBER w 4. Tn the Moeiteer of in-day is contained the follow ing important intelligence : ••••• " The ratification of a convention which has been concluded between France and Atifiria, took place on the met , -,, F , ."..inblean. between M. de Champagny and M. Von Metternich. " In cuoformity with this convention, the fortref, of Brannan is to be yielded up by France to A oiiria before the loth of December ; the provinse of Mont. falcon is ceded by the Emperor of Autiria, and the boundary between the Kingdom of Italy and the Anglian States it to be the vale of Irony). 66 By thefe arrangements all imnedinlents in the way of the execution of the treaty of Freiburg are en tirely removed." Nov. 13.—. We have this day received letters from Bayonne, •which confiem the reports prevalent thefe few days of a confpiracy at Madrid. It is particu• larly Rated, that among the number arrested are the Prince of Muria', and a great number of per. I ns of high rank, including the Duke de l'lnfantado, the Viceroy of Pampeluna. French funds -5 per cent. confols, R 3 f. zo c. with Sept. div. ; and for March 82 fr. Bank Rock, cr uaiors: de Banque, 1310 fr. AMSTERDAM, NOVEMBER i 6. Wehave read with feelings of painful aftonifhment the article in the Monitor,. of the loth of this month, dated Hamburgh, Odober 31. Since peace has been ellabli(bed on the Continent, and efpecially fence the return of our Sovereign, we have been witneffes of the revere meafures which have been taken for the WO execution of the blockade. We have patiently endured the temporary injury which we fullain, hop ing at lean to fatisfy the great Napoleon, by our facrifices in behalf of the common caufe, of our firm admiration ni him; and we do noutith the well grounded hope that lie will fupport us in our diffi culties, and give no credit to 'reproaches which we have nit m:tited. That letters have been intercepted at Hamhurgh, addreffed to Dutch merchants, is a wretched proof of our holding correfpondence with the common foe; for who can prevent letters being addreffcd to himfelf which are opened before their delivery ? If proof were neceffary to confirm the rigid teverity with which the blockade has been obferved, we might among other things cite, that feveral !hips with rich ladings have been ftranded upon our coatis, in con. fequence cf their being, refilled admittance into our hat hours ; that the poffelEas of property in the Eng• lifh funds have for a long time received no interell ; and laftly, that even the goods of our own colonies have been declared forfeited. Yet we bope that the great genius who now fixes the delliny of the earth at WI 1-:cognize the pure integrity, fidelity, and attachment o•f a people, which, perhaps kfi than any other, puiferres the art pompoufly di(playing er magnifying in words their feelings; but which, during t 2 years, I.)Ave been 411 ed with the higheit admiration for the greatest of mortals. UTRECHT, NOVEMBER 27. The ordinary autumn feffion of the Legiflative Body was held this day in this city, by virtue of a decree of his Majeay. It was opened by the Mini. fler for the Home Department, and M. Vau Bylandt Halt is Prefideut. ROTTERDAM, NOVEMBER 18. The article in the Moniteur of the t tth, has necef lardy excited a great fenfation among the whole Oafs of honourable merchants in Holland; and •cer tainly this is not the However inclined traders may be for profit; hotv ever neceffary alfo it may be to them the difircf fing circumtiances that have fo long afiliatd them; however convenient the fituation or Holland may b..: for contraband trade; however fixed or bent ui7:.n his own interefted views the Dutch merchant may be reprelented—yer, for all this, the accutrion can not be fupported in any fliape, that the Dutch, cr at lealt one of the greatefi mercantile cities of Holland, ate at open war with the laws of the Government, nr it in defiance of the meafures which his Majefly has thought fit to determine on, to brit :g about the great work of peace ; meafures, the execution of which his Majefly ftri&ly orders. mifchief that it is to a (late, where trading fettlers would attempt all to proceed to fuch a viol a lion of the laws, is filch, that it ought to t,e feverely punifhed ; but the dais of honell merchants is far from fearing any thing of the kind.

HAMBURGH, NOV. 13. The accounts from the North are every day more pacific and pleafant. From Denmark we have ad vices, that his Royal Highnefs the Crown Prince lardy paired the Great Belt, and arrived the 7th at Copenhagen, where Prince Frederick of Heife is mow &ivernor, and Craint Von Bandiffin is Corn mandaut ; the faid Prince of Hare is, betides, Pfeil der.: of the internee Court Martial. It is laid, that the Swedilh Minifter to the Ccurt of Denmark who, upon the attack of the Engli.h on Z:aland withdrew to Sweden, is expeelcd back to C:-peMotgen immediately. We now know to a certainty, that no Englith troops have landed in Sweden, and that in Schonen the ;nal peifctfl tranquillity prevails. All thole who were called on tt; hear arms have been dif- C.% a Cl. i:; :-.!terS from St. I):eriburgh, of the 28th of o.flo:nr, his Ivlajeily the Emperor Alexander was ,KpeaCki back from his journey in a few days.

FRANKFORT. OCTOBER 31. The fumptuous Ordonnanee Gem d'Arintris of the French Emperor, which, together with the reit of the French guards, had taken the road to Paris, received an order, when to leagues from Frankfort, to return to Cal Tel, probably to terve provifionally as a body guard to the new king of Weflphalic The French guards have now all paffed Frankfort, except the horie grenadiers, who will arrive there this day, and to•rnorrow continue their march for Mentz.

The Hungarian Diet is Rill affembled, but their difcuffions are not yet brought to any final arrange ment. The Profllan Charge d'Affaires, Barran Bielefeld, is arrived here from Conliantinople, and is to remain for Come time. HANAU. NOVEMBER E. His Excellency Martha! Kellerman arrived here yeflerday. To-day he took poffe[Tion of the domains of the principality of Hanau in the name of his Ma jelly the Emperor of the French, King of Italy, and Proteetor of the Confederation of the Rhine. On this occalion the public bodies afTembled , and a dinner, ball, &c. were given.

Dutch papers to the 2112 nit. containing extrafts from Paris papers to the L6lll, arrived yellerday afternoon. RHENISH CONFEDERACY. ft appears, indirealy, from an article in there papers that Marfhal KELL k RMAN is charged with the efpecial office of proteding the States of the Princes, Members of the Rhenifh Confederacy ; and the pa- pers contain Tome infignificant decrees in this charac ter, refpe&ing the paGge of French troops through thole States. This fael thews the true nature of the alliance be tween France and the States of Germany, more clearly and fully than we have had an opportunity of contemplating. It was never doubted that thole States w -31 d, on all great matters of policy, be din tially fubfervient to the views of their conqueror and proteetor ; but it was thought that at lea the forms of freedom and independence would be refpe&ed. We know with what puerile and affeEted attention to thefe little Princes, they were all declared Sovereigns alike ; and in the treaty which each State has been compelled to make apart with their proteCtor, confi derable contingents have been required from each of them. But though they can bring many thoufands into the field—though they e'joy the felicity of being rite Allies of the Great Nation, and the protege., of the groat Hero of the age—th.:ugh there is no foe near them, a French Martha' mutt refide among them to be ready for their defence. ‘Ve have no doubt, that while French I.ldiers are lent to be quartered upon their citizens, we !hall loon hear of their troops being engaged in France. This was the policy if ancient lt , :me, when the held the whole civilized world in bondage. This fame Martha' of France, this guardian of the peace of Germany, has taken poffeffion of the domains of the principality of Hanau, but in what capacity is not Rated. It is enough, that the agreeable palace of Wilhelmltal, near Hanau, with all the amufe ments of a mineral bath, form an elegant country refidence for a French Mai (hal, near the wealthy city of Frankfort, and the important frontier foam(' of Mayence. The title under which he is to hold, is lurely of no importance. SPANISH CONSPIRACY. An article from Paris of the 15th ult. given in one of the Dutch papers mentions, very briefly and cau tioufly, the arrea of the Prince of Asruaras, and with him liveral of the Grandees of Spain, as a report, and on the authority only of letters from Bayonne ; nor is the Moniteur cited for this informa tion. But on this fribjea tome further information has been received from the Captain of a veld which arrived yeller day in the River, and who left a Spa nn port fo late as the isth ult. He corroborates the circumftances we have before publifhed with re. gard to the confpiracy at Madrid. The inveftigation which his Catholic Majefly promifed in his procla mation, or at leap which was pr ,, mifed in his name, has already led to fuch refults as fully to juflify the opinion we in the &ft inflance exprefred as to the nature of this prPjeft. Above fixty perfons cf rank have been put under arreft ; and all belonging to the Antigallican party, or the opponents of the Prince of the Peace. Several of thefe prifoners are Rated to have been taken in arms, for it teems to be now alledged, that the confpirators were prepared to carry their plan into execution on the evening of the day the proclamation was publifhed. Some of the prifoners were taken into cuflody that night, and others the next day. But arrefts multiply as the " inverti , gallon „ proceeds, and no doubt is entertained that the inveftigation will not terminate until all men of confequence, from whom any formidable oppofition to Bomaraars's views can he apprehended, or who are particularly obnoxious to the PRINCE of the PEACE, ' fhall have been imprifoned or fet afide. Then we fhall have the denouement of the plot—then the whole object of the late proclamation will be unfolded. The Captain repeats the rumour, that the Palace of Arruataa has been liberated, but he does not knaw what was the precife eaufe of that liberation. It was generally underftood by the merchants throughout Spain, who have any conneElion with this country, that they were not to look for any com munications with England, through the ordinary channel, by Portugal, after the 14th No lefs than so,ooo French trocps are Paid to have marched through Bifcay towards Portugal before the loth inftant. It was generally calculated in Spain, that a column of the French army would reach Lir bon by the 15th intl. According to authentic accounts from the Conti. nent, BONAPARTE has flrongly recommended to the Spanifh Government the adoption cf the principle of the Decree which he fume time fince aired with re. gard to the toleration of the Jews. We node' (land that he has tranfmitted a fimilar recommendation to the feveral States over which he has any influence ; and we know that with cet tain Stares that rec, rumen. dation is tantamount to command. RUSSIAN AND GERMAN .PRISONERS OF WA R. The Captain above alluded to (latex a molt fin gular circumflance, confirming a report which for merly reached us from Germany, namely, that Bo- NAPARTL has fold feveral thoulands of Ruffian and Pruffian ptifoners to the Spanffl► Government, by wh .m they are difitibuted in different regiments of the Spanifh army. The purchafe money fo:- each of thefe prifoners was comparatively trifling, if we are rightly informed. Our informant Hates, that he un derflood them to have been fold at the rate of half a guinea, and even a dollar per heed. He adds. that he law 5 or 6000 of thefe men in the province of Bifcay, who were fcattered among the Spanifh troops, and who appeared extremely diffatisfied with their con. dition. THE ARMY.

The addivition of this Regiment,whieh is now goo firong, and as effeClive and fine a body of men as any in his Majefty's let vice, was to reach Tunbridge Wells this morning. A detachment of the Kerry Militia arrived in Tra lee on Sunday fennight, under the command of Lieu tenant JoHN Matiouy, for the purpofe of recruiting the regiment to its full eflablithment.
