FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE AND SPAIN. PARIS PAPERS RECEIVED LAST NIGHT. Last night the Papers of Friday were received, from which we have given extracts below. The riots have ceased, since Government had shown a disposition at once to consult the feelings of the people, and to repress their excesses. It is said that the ittl*Slati Ambassador, Pam di forgo, has not received his new atidentiah. to King Philip, because the Russian Government intends to make a change in the enhaAsy. PAM, OCT. 22. The presentation of the credentials of the itailinsailor of Auntria to the King, is announced ler to.morrew. SPANISH CONSTITUTIONAL ARMY. From the Mcssayer des Chandrets.dated Saturday. A telegraphic dispatch, which has been received today, anvolinces that bands of Spanish refugees are endeavouring to enter Spain by way of Campredon and Puycerda. The frontier is but sparingly lined with Spanish troops. The refugees are few in number; nevertheless, they seem to entertain graat hopes. The rout of Colonel Valdez is con firmed by the news received to-day, but it is added that Mina imme diately resolved to enter Spain after Valdez, either to collect the remains of his divisions, or to penetrate farther with a more numerous and better organized force, or, lastly, to counterbalance by this demon stration the bad moral effect of the first failure. As for Valdez, who was said to be eithet taken or killed, he has succeeded in effecting his re treat with a small part of hia force. It is to be desired that he may consent to submit in future to the ancient military experience and per sonal influence of Mina. Just as we were going to press we re ceived the following telegraphic despatch, dated Bayonne Oct. '2o— Valdes, continuing to light, repulsed the Royalist troops, who had attacked him at Zugaramardi. He has vuognized Mina for his superior. The latter was to enter Vera to-night with 500 men. It is supposed he intends to march against Pampeluna. The Spanish Royalists arc reinforcing their line." TOULON, Oct. 15.—The Dtligenti corvette, Captain Garribon, ar.. rived yesterday Iron, Navarin. It is stated that our brigade, occupying that place, hailed with transports of joy, difficult to be expressed, the national colours of our glorious revolution, and that the Moreotes wet. earned, with the same enthusiasm, our era of liberty, which they them selves have not yet been able entirely to conquer, notwithstanding all the efforts which they have made to obtain an independence, which they have already purchued with so much blood. Pants, OCT. .22. The town of Iswendein has begin fur three days the scene of serious disturbances The populace has risen, under the pretext of d the Excise duties, and the high price Oi COIN but really with the inten tion of plundering. The rioters, it is said, have forced the doors and windows of several rich houses. All the National Guard of all the sur rounding towns and villages are assembling, as well as the troops that can be spared. The town has been invested with nearly 2,090 men. It had been decided that these troops should enter yesterday morn. ing at nine o'clock, but their entrance was deferred in order to wait till the whole force should be collected. Nearly 300 of the most criminal individuals are designated whom it is intended I to arrest. Since rtionday last a battalion of the National Guard goes every evening to the Castle of Vincennes, and passes the night there. M. Chantelauze is not seriously indisposed, as was reported. He has only had a slight indisposition. The day before yesterday Monsieur , de Polignsc, de Peyronnet, and Guernon Ranville, went down into the court-yard of the dungeon, and walked there for an hour with General Daumesnil, the Governor of the place, and several other officers.— A part of the National Guard on duty was in the court yard. M. de Guernon Ranville appeared composed and almost indifferent to his situation. M. de Polignse and 31. de Peyroonet appeared more cast down than usual. A letter from Mete, of October 19, says :—" The city of Luxemburg continues to receive supplies of all kinds of provisions,"especially of salt meat.

This city at present is in a state of perfect tranquillity. There arc groups of idle fellows still lounging at night, in the remote quarters of it; but they disappear before the presence of the picquets of the National Guards, who continue to assemble in considerable force every evening. Several persons congregated last night in the faux-1 bourg St. Antoine, and kept moving between that place and the ground of the Old Bastile, singing the popular airs, but they soon separated when told that the guards were parading on the neigh bouring Boulevard. The quantity of unemployed artisans at this moment wandering about in the city, would make a' mob anywhere, but their appearance has ceased to inspire apprehension, now that the Government have evinced the requisite firmness to main. tale the public peace, and that the National Guards have shown the most perfect alacrity in dispersing disorderly assemblies. A regi ment of the line, in full marching order, contin ues to d o n i g h t l y duty at the Pal ais Royal, in conjunction with a strong body of the civic force. The patrols are, however, exclusively composed of the National Guards. Some of the papers of this day continue the ru. moor of a change in the Ministry, and repeat that M. Lafitte Is to be Minister of Finance ; Cassimir Perrier, Minister of the Inte rior • Dupont, Minister of Justice; Count Mole, for Foreign Aff a ir s; Soult, to be War Minister • Admiral de Rigny, for the Marine ; and Benjamin Constant, for P u blic Instruction. With the exception of Soult and Rigny, this would not amount to any real change in the constitution of the Ministry, but no such appointments have yet been made, and on Tuesday in full council, as I have already apprised you, the King expressed his determination to convoke the Chambers with hie prevent Ministers. The troops and munition% of war are daily arriving in the port of Tou lon from Algiers. Private letters do not convey a favourable descrip tion of the condition of the army in this African expedition. The culprit Bernie, who impeaches Polignac and the Jesuits, has been brought to Paris, at the earnest request of the ex-Minister, to be confronted with him at Vincennes. Berle is an old brigand, well known for his exploits to the Frenea police. The fellow was brought up in the mail coach from Toulouse, and he whiled away the time on his route by singing tirades against the Jesuits. I have reason to believe that this malefactor was removtd last night to the castle at Vincennes, under a strong escort of the cavalry of the National Guard. The commission are now, I understand, sitting there. They will have their report prepared tbr the meeting of the Chamber of Peers. You will perceive by the papers that the Tribunal of Correctional Police yesterday sentenced Fazy, the editor of the Revolts/foe, to a fine of 1,200 franca and six months' imprisonment, for publishing his carnal without previously dep os i t i ng t h e secur ities required by law. he printer was at the same time fined 200 francs; Valliant, the editor of L'Aigle, 200 francs and one month's imprisonment ; and Paulow scky, the editor of the Tocsin, t o s i x mont h s imprisonment and a fine of 200 franca. All these journals are this day as busy as ever in violating the law, and endeavouring to inflame the people. Of the 1i.2 persons in custody for the riots in the beginning of this week, I understand 79 are unemployed workmen : the other' arc a mixed group, among whom the newspapers will have it there arc agents, some rich, othets poor, of the Jesuits and Prince .ietternich. As the interregatories are secret, I have no means of Con tirmiug or impugning these assertions. The fact of thi it having hadeoncealed tire-arms iscontra dicted by 8111)10 of the National Guards,with whom I have spoken, who as sisted in their apprehension. The commission employed in regulating the advances to relieve commercial distress are very actively engaged in performing their task. I understand they are much influenced in the distribution of the loans by the numbers employed by the manu facturers who apply for pecuniary assistance. There is sortie talk this day of a supplemental commission to discount bills of a longer date than are negotiable at the Dank of France. Public credit appears to me to be every where at a low ebb in this capital. and the ac counts daily received from the provinces are far from affording satin. faction. Notwithstanding what you will see in the papers of this morning to the contrary, I have some reason for believing that Val dez his been defeated in his enterprise upon Spain; anti further, that orders have been transmitted by telegraph from the French Govern. merit to Bayonne, :o disarm without distinction the patriotic fugi. tires who may appear on the French frontier.—Letter in the Tines. MADRID, OCT. 10, quarter put 4 p.m. 'Lie guns are at this moment informing Madrid of the accouchement of the Queen, and at the same time announce the existence of an In fanta; crowds of people are Hocking to the place, but there seems little indication of pleasure at the event. THE NETHERLANDS. IBRUSSILS PAPERS, RECSIVED LAST MIGHT. Tar HAGUE, OCT. 2A.—Prince Frederick arrived here on the 18th from Antwerp. M. Van Gobbelschroy arrived the same evening, and had an audience of his Majesty the following morning. M. Van Toulon is President of the Second Chamber. In the sitting of the Second Chamber yesterday the President read the following Royal Message:— " It seems, without any doubt, by the proclamation of our beloved Son, the Prince of Orang e , published on the 16th instant, at Antwerp, and the causes of which are so little known to us, that we cannot calcu late the consequences, that the acknowledgment of the legal authority in the southern provinces has wholly ceased. In this state of things our cares must henceforth be wholly confined to our faithful provinces of the North ; accordingly their resources and their forces will be employed for their interest only; and all the measures of the legal authority will I concern these provinces exclusively. The projects of law which we shall send to your assembly, will be conceived in their views. We also desire that they may be considered and discussed in this manner by your High Mightinesses, and that you will henceforth look upon yourselves M representatives of the North= Province only; till a decision shall have been made in concert with our allies, respecting the Southern Provinces." His Majesty bas issued s decree, by •bich various articles, such u Wu, bete, slugger, spirits, salt, sugar, U.

There was a report to-day of the ar rival of some English ships at Flushing, which, it is sail, will be sta tioned at the mouth of the Schrith, to protect the c..:lnberce of our city.

The Provisional Government replied on the 20th, that before coming to a resole.. ion it Is necessary to be certain that the enemy's troops in Belgium i depend on the Prince, and will in the shortest time possible erat-i fee the pole ts which they occupy, and retire beyond the llloerdyke. The greatest joy 1:1.4 manifested last Sunday at Termonde, when the standard of Brahaet was hoisted. Last Sunday, the tri coloured French flag was heisted by the side of Me trabant Hag on the Pont-it.P.irelte, at Tourney. The inhabitants teak it down.

A letter froth Timin nays Last Friday a bond of 200 peasants end workmen, sonic armed with muskets, but, for the most part, with pickaxes, spades, end sticks, passed here. They were going to a neighbouring village, as they said, to Weiler the farmers from sending their corn to France." FIVE, n.et.—Newe is this moment received of the surrender of Ter. monde. The enemy has abettdonecl the fortreas, having a very co.:. siderable materiel." BULLETIN. Bacsszt.s, Oct. 22, AT WOOL—The Dutch hare had the teme rity to doubt the persevering courage of our brave volunteers. They again attacked the latter in their position at Lierre, at tour o'clock iu the afternoon of the 19th. An obstinate engagement took place; the issue was not a moment doubtful. Repulsed at all points, the enemy retreated after suffering considerable loss. The country people say that they carried off for them serm waggons loaded with their slain. The number of the wounded is incalculable; among the latter is the Prince of Sasei:Weintar. We have to regret 12 or 1,5 men. In the ticquent actions which the volunteers of the column of Atalines arc engaged they shew admirable bravery anti coolness. YeNterday they planted the tricoloured flag on the tower of 11 - alikn. The communication with Lierre is open. linussamt, Oct. 21.—The Observer of Ilainault confirms the ac counts of disturbances at Mnrs, whica we mentioned yesterday. Three houses were plundered on Monday without any interference of the armed force to prevent it. Tuesday passed quietly ; the gar rison and the civic guard were under arms, and patrolled till midnight ; in the evening some persons were arrested. How ever, disturbances took place that evening in the country. Bands of plunderers devastated farms and mills at Cuesmes, Jemmapes, and Qua regnon. Nineteen of the plunderers were ancsted and brought to Mons by Captain Delnert, who put himself at the head of a corps of volunteers. The same journal says that similar disturbances took place on Monday last at Charleroi, Thuin, Soignies, Ursine le Comte, and in the Borinage. On Tuesday an armed band demolished the magnificent establishment of M. Degorges. at Home.; the damage may be esti mated at about one million.—Journal ds la Badique. PROCLAMATION. Belgians ! You have driven away the soldiers whom Holland scut to lay waste our beautiful country with fire and sword. Secret and unarmed enemies paid to seduce and mislead us, are not less dangerous.—Union ! it will constitute our strength. Confidence in the authorities whom you have appointed; it will insure our entire triumph and the prosperity of Belgium. Whoever excites disorders, should be considered by you, brave Bruxellois, as a traitor to his country. Troubles have al ready broken out in several towns at the same moment. — The Government which recognises the hand of the enemies of our Independence, will know how to punish them. As for you. people of Brussels, we have known that you will yourselves prevent pillage. You are too prudent to be taken in these snares, especially on the eve of eke.. floss, which will give you magistrates worthy of your confidence, and will lead to measures destined to secure your subsistence.

Gustxr, Ocr. 20.—1 t is reported at Antwerp that the Princess of Orange is expected there shortly, and that she intends to go with het august consort to Russia, where he will await the decision of the na. tional congress. BRUSSELS, OCT. 22—Troubles have broken out on the same day in several places ; it is impossible nut to consider them as the result of a machination of our enemies. General Don J. Van Haden has just been arrested at Mons, and pat in solitary confinement. It is ob served, that in all the places which he has visited riots broke out Immediately after his departure, and that before he left Brussels one of his aid.de-camps went to Antwerp.—Lc Beige.; Own wr, OCT. 19.—Our citadel had a garrison of 1,600 men— 900 Belgians and 700 Dutch. The former. including, bur Officers re. mained ; the latter marched out this morning. The ma:criel in the citadel is said to be worth five millions. The Journal the Luzern boury says, that the only means of raving the country a by esta blishing a constitutional monarchy under the Prince of Orange.— Brussels Papers, Oct. 23. . • "Mows. Ocr. 20, 9 o'clock 1). m. " The town is quiet, thanks to the attitude of the Urban Guard; but the villages in the environs are a prey to pillage. Bands of robbers enter the farms, compel the farmers to give them grain, and finish by carrying off all that they can la their har.ds upon. At Frameries a mob of 200 men presented themse lves at the house of M. Corbisier, a far.ner and burgornarter, and demanded that he should sell them torn at eight francs the hectolitre. 11. Corbisier was obliged to eon. sent to this, and initnediately women came forward with sacks, in I which they carried off all the earn in the granary ; and, to the great as tonishment of the farmer, these women paid in ic:Aly money. At Thula and Charleroy, far from the scene of disturbance, well-dressrd strangers have given out that they were commissioned to bay corn for several workmen, and paid for i: readily. At Mons, Ireg:g.ent have offered 10 florin pieces for change. " To-day, towards noon, some labouring Charbonnicra assembled from several communes of the Borinage, to the nun. her of 300 or COO, and attacked the establiallm:nt of 111. Degorges, at Hum, two leagues from Mons, and, notwithstanding the resistance of the workmen there, succeeded in entering it. They broke all the machines, and the manu. factory, perhaps unrivalled in Europe, was destroyed. Al. Degorges' I dwelling-house was afterwards pillaged. lila carriages, his clothing, and his plate, filled up the high-road. The damage is estimated at more than 1.000,000. It appears that many contests took ;dace during the day between M. Degorges workmen aril the robbers. The courier from Valenciennes reports that the Toad was strewed with bodies. "The Governor of our l'rovince has sent an estafetre to the Provi. atonal Gott:came:A, to eibLiti :.tithot icy to establish a military commis- ar,d to declare the town in a state of Nieg.., the only means of re. storing order. Alrawly, in many communes, the inhabitants hare furred themselves into patrol:A, and several robbers have been killed. To.they several persona who were instigating disordera sere 'everted. It rs lit. Lewd that disguised Dutchmen have been seen in the time. " Gen. Vau Ilalen has arrived here with his Aitie4l:..Canip. " To-motrow, a: day-break, a picked compiny will set Out fur Jo. manse, with the cavalry and cannon. To.r.ight detachments are leaving the town." SPIRIT OP TUE JOURNALS.

Cnaowicut.—Several Ideeting. for the Repeal of the Union have already taken place in lrelaod, and more are announced.

It is much to be regretted that the public in general, in their impatience (4 , Ignorant impatience," Lord Londonderry called it) of taxation. have not agreed as to which of the Cl3lls of public burdens have been the most oppressive ; while the Government, still less en lightened, have evidently thrown away, as in the case t f the repeal of the leather lax, much of their power of benefiting the community. The great injustice of the house and window duties strikes us t., be this, that they quite as often tax a man's necessities as hat ability ; to which latter point they have, in tact no reference. The wealthiest man may live in a lodging, and never contribute one far . thing to them, while the man with a large family, and very inadequ &- means to bring them up, is compelled to live in a house larger and most, eapensive in other respects than he can well afford, with this awful ad• dition to his expenses. Nothing, probably, has done so 'much to drit e people to reside in foreign countries as the 'dearness of living at home.. As long as the necessities of the State are derived from indirect means, it is apparently, at least, if not really, optional with most men to what extent they will contribute. The drinker of taxed wine, for instance, limits or extends his libations at pleasure ; but it is in no man's option whether he shall live with a house over his head, or whether, being in a house, he shall or shall not enjoy the light of heaven. On these, therefore, and many other accounts, we agree with those who have called the Marylebone Meeting, that these heads of the amassed taxes comprise that portion of the public burdens which rail most for reduction, and which, we have no doubt, will be reduced, t! the people, in other places, unite with the parishioner. of 31aryleborc, in looking steadily to this one object. THE THEATRE ' . COVENT-GARDEN THEAI it Z. The Opera of The Ottawa was repeated on Saturday night, with On. same cast which attracted our notice a week ago.

Mrs. Grins, though following the greatest actress of her time in the parts sbe assumed, is decidedly successful• in the Drienna. KEELEY is not yet easy in the character of Ague. The 31ekslraina of The Blue Anchor has been improved, and is evidently improving in the estimation of the judges for whose tastes it has chiefly been providtd. SURREY THEATRE.
