FOREIGN INTELLIuENCE. 1 - XPRESS FROM PARIS. By Extraordinary Expros, the whole of the French Papers of Satur .iay, and the Message,. des Clusnibres and Gazelle de France of Sun -3:4y are received. The following arc extracts : (From the Gazette de France of Sunday.) Cl-1.1318E1l OF PEERS, SATURDAY, Oct. 13. Baron Mounier was called to the Tribune to pronounce the funeral eulogy of M. de Lally TollentlaL M. d'Are,out brought up the Re port of the project of law relative to the importation of grain. The dis cussion was adjourned till to-morrow. 91. Molhen brought up the re port of the project of law relative to the credit of 31) millions for the commercial loan. The discussion was adjourned till to-morrow. M. de Parantc brought up the Report of the project of Law relative to the pensions granted to the great officers of Mate, under the head of national recompense. The report will be printed and distributed. The Chamber passed to the discussion of the law relative to indirect contributions upon liquors. Count de Sassy spoke with much warmth against the method of composition . • because the impost. instead of being equal upon all, or rather proport ionate to the profit of each, would fall upon one more heavily than upon another, and upon some not at all, whilst he who was too much taxed, would be obliged to give up his business. The projict was adopted. From the Coneitutionnel of Saturday. The French Ministry received to-day. at tive o'clock, by a telegraphic dispatch, the announcement that the Emperor Nicolas had formally re cognised the new French Government and his Majesty, King Louis- Philippe I.—At three o'clock the King act out in a calash with 4 horses to go to Neuilly. The Queen and Madame, his Majesty's sister, sat be. hind the King, with the Minister of War on his right hand, was in the middle, and the forepart was occupied by Counts Rumigny and Laborde, his Majesty's aide-de-camp. His :Majesty returned at halt past five.— At their departure and return their Majesties were received with the most lively acclamations. Next Sunday, the 17th. the King, with his family, will go to Versailles to review the National Guard of that town, and of the towns and communes of the department uf After the review the waters will play. (From the Journal du Commerce of Saturday.) Pants, ()Cr. 15.—There is mach talk of an insurrection of the Ukraine, and of some parts of Livonia and Poland. The country people are said to have taken up arms against the feudal system, and the Aut. sian Government has ordered in great haste the march of troops upon these countries. We have, however, no particular information upon this subject. (From La Quotidienne of Saturday.) Letters from Frankfort state, an extraordinary circumstance has lately made known deeply laid plots for the overthrow of Germany. The plan of attack against each state in particular, the detail of the movements, and the names of all those who were to participate in them, arc known. Ginot, the courier of the Dutch Cabinet, passed through Berlin on . the 7th October, In great haste, on his way to St. Pe tersburg. From the Courier Francais of Saturday. The hasty departure of Gen. Lamarque f ir Ls Vendt:e, mentioned by one of the journals as the cause of the fall of the Funds, was deter mined on for nearly thice weeks before. and will not take place for some days. The Committee of Instruction of the Chamber of Peers has commenced its labours. An order has been issued against the Indi. eidual named Berrie, now a prisoner at Toulouse, and who has made some disclosures relative to the burnings in Normandy. The object of the present order is to put certain interrogatories to him on the intorma non which he declares he can give on this subject. A private letter iron: Algiers contains the following passage.— " Will you believe that we have no less than 1,000 armed Arabs doing duty on the out-posts, and anxious to attack our enemies. We might have a force of 30,000 Arabs if we ,wished, and with their RE. Astance we might traverse the whole of Africa in every direction. All the tribes are eager to send in their submission to Gen. Clause!, and to furnish provisions to our troops. A bullock sells for 20 francs, and sheep can be bought for 30 sous (18. 3d.) Gen. Clausel has proposed to the French Ministry to send back 12,000 men, because he cannot see any necessity for them abroad. Our position is very much changed from what it was about a month since. There is no longer a single vessel in the port, and we would have considered ourselves lost if any one had spoken before the arrival of Gen. Clause', of the departure 0* the squadron, but now it is hardly noticed, or is looked upon with mdifference. The General-in-Chief, it is said, has great projects of colonization. It is proposed to grant an immense tract of land to a coins veny which can raise 150 millions." From the Journal des Debate of Saturday. The Minister of Foreign Affairs hsa notified to the Consuls-General of Mexico, Colombia, La Plata, and Chill, the determination of his 3lajesto recognise fully the independence of theft different States, and Lis wish to enter into treaties of friendship, commerce, and navigation with them, as soon as they shall have sent an agent to Paris for that purpose. Similar notifications will be sent to the other South American States. (From Le Temps of Saturday.) Correspondence from Russia states that, the epidemic known by the name of cholera morbus, has spread to the Russian territory, so which it was communicated from the Persian towns of Recht, Zinxill, and Tauris. This disease made its appearance about the middle ofJi in the province of Chirvan, and at the fisheries of Saban. It then spread to several other provinces, and the number of deaths up to August has amounted to 1,655. This epidemic is extending its ravages still fur ther into the country, and threatens to produce a dreadful mortality. Pants, OCT. 16.—The weakness of the Ministry becomes every day more apparent. Not daring to exhibit in the face of all France the re. sults of the revolution, and govern with that firmness and popularity which circumstances demand, it was natural that, in their interval policy, our Ministry should exhibit the weakness which they had shown in their home police. The appointment of Talleyrand to the French embassy in London, had already given a substantial proof of what public opinion bail to expect of their political temperament in the many momentous questions now rapidly succeeding each other in the course of our fw reign and diplomatic Conventions. An attempt, on the past of the liberal party in Spain, to establish liberty in that unhappy country, was ardently desired by all hoaest and thinking Frenchmen. Up to this time the Spanish refugees had met from the public all the sympathy and all the succour of which they stood in need. Their numbers in. creased upon the frontiers, they were about to acquire an imposing organization, and they were upon the point of entering the Spanish territory with arms in their bands. Ferdinand trembled upon his throne, and the faction which oppresses Spain, saw that its prey was about to be snatched out of its hands,whilst the people of Spainotasured of the feelings of France towards the Constitutionalists would have seen that they had found support and protection from us, and would have followed without reserve the views of the liberal commanders. But this result, so con soling to humanity, has not been appreciated by your Government, and the Duke of Wellington has given his entire support, and all the weight of the influence belonging to the British Cabinet to the demands of Count d'Offalia, the Spanish Minister at Paris. Lord Stuart has received orders to second, with all his efforts, the demands of the repre. sentativc of Ferdinand. Note upon note, interview upon interview, have been employed by Lord Stuart to force our Ministers to give satis. faction to Europe, as he says, with respect to the assistance which they would give to the Constitutional Spaniards. In the mean time he has asked for the dispersion of the depots of emigrants, and that orders should he given them to retire into the Departments of the Interior. Yielding to these representations of your Cabinet, our Ministry have transmitted these two orders to the authorities upon the frontiers. Thus Mina, and the other Constitutional Generals, will have to quit Bayonne, and give up their desi g ns. If this co m e to pass, it will be the work of your Government, politely seconded by the French Ministry. How. seer, the latter will not have the means of executing the order. The Prefect of Bayonne will in vain require the National Guard to drive the Spaniards out of the department. I have reason to believe that they will remain there until such time as they shall enter Spain. The Carlist party (for it is thus that the partisans of Charles X. are designated), grows bolder every day, and if our Ministry is not changed, the Car lists will, in a short time, bring about serious troubles. At this moment strong detachments of the National Guard are being assembled, in order to unite in the evening at the King's Palace. It is expected that a great concourse of workmen will be there, with their cries of " Death to the Ministers."—Prioule Letter in the Herald. COPY OF TILE ACT CONSTITUTING THE JUNTA OF CATALONIA. Relying on the undeniable principle of the preservation of the people, and the supreme laws established for its maintenance, if we do not exert ourselvti to the extent that the fundamental laws of the nation authorise it will be our own fault ; and in order that our exertions should meet with the approbation of all liberal men, they must be founded upon principles which are generally admitted, and have the sanction of the public. In order that the wishes of our fellow-chinas may regulate the euthority which thegitinetal voice has conferred upon General Don Fran cisco Milans del Bosch, we have proposed to reunite from this day forth, and we have with due deliberation approved of the following pro. positions, which will be submitted to the attention and for the approval of all those patriots who are residing in this department.

That although the spirit of rivalry should cease between the eflicers of the old regiment and those of the militia, and the bands of volunteers, as they should all consider themselves as a part of the ex isting and permanent army, in order to increase the sympathy which ought to influence the minds of all, two lists will be made, the one relating to permanent and patriotic services, and the other containing an account as to the length of service and military eni ploymcnts for the purpose of examining and regulating the different ap- pointments of those who have served in the same regiments aid claYses i of troops.

ROWER" BELGIAN JOURNALS-ME BELGIAN. "We have conquered our independence. What shall we make of it ? Ought Belgium to constitute itself a federative republic ? Should it, after having secured its rights by a very liberal constitution, consti tute itself into a republican monarchy like France ? These are the important questions which occupy all minds. If Belgium should con stitute herself a federal republic, how can or cannot the different pro vinces be independent? If their independence be proclaimed, will opposite interests never excite amongst them fatal schisms, cruel contests ? These are serious difficulties which we cannot yet resolve, but to which we feel ourselves bound to direct the attention of our readers. If we constitute ourselves into a monarchy, what Prince shall we call to the throne ? Shall it be a foreign Prince ? Our national self-love cannot endure such a proposition.— Shall it be a Prince of Nassau ? A vehement opposition re. pals, without distinction, all the members of this family. The blood which has been shed forms, it is said, an insurmountable barrier between it and us. In this state of things what remains to be done? How can such opposite opinions be conciliated Let us return to principles. Sovereignty new resides in the people: they exercise this sovereignty through their representatives. Any power, any society, which should attempt to decide our great questions before the people have had an opportunity of declaring their wishes through their representatives, will indeed attack the national sovereignty. " The success which this power or society might obtain would be but momentary, because its wish, perhaps, would not be ratified by the na tion, whose will alone can triumph definitively. It is in virtue of these principles, the only true and wise ones, that the Provi sional Government has not desired to decide definitively with respect to the future. By Its first act, it declared the inde pendence of Belgium. By a second act, and which has been too little attended to, it declared null alt acts or proceedings which might be exe. cuted by Belgians not furnished with powers from the Provisional Go vernment. In the communications which have taken pl ate between the members of this Government and the Envoys of the the former have constantly declared that they were not in a situation to treat re specting our future state. By thee* acts they have laid the foundations of a new order of things. They have convoked a National Congress. For it alone is reserved the task of consolidating the work of Govern ment. Let all our attention, then, be directed to the approaching elections. They will decide our independence, our political welfare, and all the future." From the Message+ des Chandra, Oct. IG.

Beranger by a man confined in the gaol of Toulouse for some crime or offence of which the nature is not stated. This man pretends to be able to make declarations of high importance respecting the fires which have desolated some of our provinces. Ile pro claims himself guilty, signalizes me personally as the insti gator of the crimes which he confesses, and affirms that he is capable of corroborating this frightful revelation by positive proofs. In an ordinary situation I would leave to public reason the care of doing justice to this absurd and odious attempt ; but standing under the weight of an accusation which opens a too easy ac cess to all suspicions, I cannot treat with disdain an attack so direct and so personal, and it is my duty to seize every occasion 10f:establish ing the truth. The confessions made at Toulouse, which arc connected with an infamous plot, ought to be thoroughly examined. Who. ever may be the man who makes them,—whatever be the cause elf his arrest,—whatever mistrust he may inspire.—his offers camist be rejected, and, at all events, no one can dispute my right to accept them. I can, without doubt, await with calmness the ma ment when I shall be permitted to examine,in the presence of my peers, and before the eyes of France, the acts of my political life; butil cannot be condemned to submit in silence to this formal and public imputation of the most base and odious crime. 1 demand that the prisoner at Toulouse should be immediately transferred to Paris, and that he should he interrogated and brought before me. This is an act of justice which cannot be denied me. There is another thing which my colleagues and myself think we have a right to demand namely, that a rigid investigation may take place with respect to the fires which have desolated Normandy— that the numerous authorities charged by us to discover and proceed against the authors or accomplices should be exa mined—and that our correspondence should be published ; and we af firm, as we have already done, that the falsehood of the allegations, as of the insinuations hazarded against us, will become manifest, even to the most prejudiced minds. (Signed) Prince de POLIGNAC. SPIRIT OF TITS JOURNALS. CHatntro.E.—The repeal of the Union has, at the present moment, it seems, many advocates in Ireland. The circumstance which has more immediately brought the repeal into favour is the success of the Belgians. But why should the resistance of the Belgians have pro duced this effect on the Irish mind ? The truth is, that Ireland is in a most diseased state, and the people, like drowning men, catch at every straw within their teach. We hear of removals by wholesale of the peasantry under the Subletting Act, and of their squatting down by five hundreds on commons, thence to be again ejected by force. The pro ceslings of the Corporation of Kells, who demolished and burned the cabins of five hundred trespassers who were left without a shed to cover them, or a morsel to cat, speak volumes as to the state of the country where such scenes are enacted. Ireland, before the Union, was a Pro testant conquest, all power being in the hands of the Protestants, backed by England. A repeal of the Union would leave Ireland in a very dif ferent state from that in which she was when that event took place. It would give national independence to the Irish people. We have no doubt that the improvement of the country would be eft: eted much more rapidly under a separate Legislature than under an united Legislature. The property and intelligence of the island would bear directly on the Parliament; and on the responsibility of their own measures, without the support of British gold or British bayonets, the landholders and other influential persons would be taught prudence by circumstances. — But there is no disguising the fact, that a separated legishtture would put an end to the established church. Indeed we have no doubt that the desire to be rid of this incumbrance is not one of the least powerful motives for a repeal. The Catholics, almost to a man, must feel in dignant at seeing the ministers of the religion of one-seventh of the people, if so much, made an established church. The Protestants can have no wish to see the Catholic religion established; but they might have no objection to a compromise—.each religion paying its own clergy. The Protestant landholders of Ireland have very little Church property ; and in the abolition of tithes, they would be great gainers. There are few persons in Ireland who would not rejoice at seeing a different appro. pristion of the enormous revenue of a sinecure church. Thus a number of causes are at work to inspire the Irish with a desire of change. Porr.—The Roman Catholic demagogues of Ireland, with O'Con nell at their bead, seem determined that their country shall not reap the advantages which (they craftily pretended to anticipate, and which some of the Protestants who sided with them were simple enough, we believe, really to an •• te from the measure of Emancipation. The repeal of the Union Is henceforth to be the subject of Irish agitation; and there seems no reasonable ground to hope, that it will be found a less efficacious instrument in the hands of the unrelenting and unscru pulous foes to their country's peace than that of the Catholic Claims, which served the same purpose so long and SO well. The success of a for. mer enterprise,carried on by means of agitatinn,affords a ground of hope to the disarganizinf party, which, although we cannot say it is unnatural, will yet, we believe, prove entirely fallacious, that their pprreesseennt project may be equally successful. The relief of the Roman Catholics from sU civil disabilities must operate, indeed, as an additional objection to a legislative separation of Gnat Britain and Ireland, and one which it will be more difficult to surmount than any, or than all, great and nu merous as tbey were, which existed prior to that measure in the mind of every man who is not prepared to contemplate without repugnance or alarm the establishment in the latter country of a Roman Catholic Go vernment and Hierarchy. However ardently this consummation may be desired by the demagogues, by the ambitious Church which impels theM, and by the ignorant sad infatuated multitude whom they inflame and mislead, its 01111111zion with the measure they have immedi. ately in view is too Ails, direct. and inseparable to admit of a doubt that the latter will exprienes a much firmer and more determined re sistance onthe pasts[ his British Government, by whomsoever admi niswed and a masa mime united and vigorous opposition on the part ef the BM& Inglimbere and people, than the measure of emancipa tion taste W W eacennter.

That the country at large was overstocked with inhabitants, we by ti :ass affime The island would have supported twice the number. had capital existed or been em ployed to call forth productive labour; but the want of commercial and manufacturing industry left no means of livelihood fe- the grow ing population, except what was afforded by the cultivation of the soil ; so that land became the most inarketuble commodity, if :not the only one ; and by degrees the greater portion of the estates throughout the kingdom were cut up into miserable patches, such as the spade of a single peasant might search, fora scanty crop of half manured potatoes. The 40s. freehold law made this multiplication of freehold paupers an instrument in the hands of every 'squire for extending his political influence ; so that the political spnet of the country was de- Wed, and its surface overrun, by a destitute and pitiable, but useless and dangerous, population. Under these circumstances, and with a view to their amendment, the legislature, a snort time ago, passed a bill to prevent the subletting of lands, a bill which the Irish landlords would never have endured, so long as the 40s. freentdd law subsisted. We, with many others, were favourable to the enactment of that nicalure, trusting that it might effect a future good, and no• setficit rely adverting to the risk that the benefit might be arrived at through great and intolerable suffering. The conduct of a large proportion et Irish landlords wis such as to warrant that apprehension. Without r::.rd to the wretched creatures whom their own ambitious and sordid policy had for many years been entrapping into a ruinous occupancy of their eatates, day took all occasions since the passing of the law to expel abruptly the small tenants wholesale on every lapse of term that occurred, and, fail. ing that etensingentey, stx e+ifY a=aa: of tent.

In The Barter of Seville, Saturday night, a Mr. Lasuass, front Dublin, made his first appearance as Figaro. In the commenceii of the opera his voice was rather indistinct, but as it proterd,d, he visibly improved, and represented the character throughout with much easy and unaffected humour. Ms voice is a fine focible Lowy. He could not have met with a better reception.--A :Outs S. PHILLIP. also made ber first appearance in Rosily!, and met with much deserved applause. She is of a middling stature, with a well formed f. re. and dark expressive eyes. She sung " Tyrant, soon burst thy chains," finely ; and the favourite song, " An old man would be wooing," she executed with such sweetness and taste that it elicited ar. unabirotius encore, and she was equally fortunate in her succeeding sung. --- =~~!I COVENT-GARDEN. FOUR NEW APPEARANCES ON SATURDAY NIGUT at; Don Carlos, Miss Row Elt, as Clara, lion KI:ELIY as /sane Me tidos*, and Mn. 01111 S. as cite Duenner ! WILSON has ion? enjoyed a high reputation as a concert-singer at Edinburgh, and he only appeared nn the stage there last season. He has the advantage of a gentleman-like deport menu and a face which expresses manly spirit, mingled with good na ture. The Jew was supposed to be rather out of KEELEY'S line; and taking his general run of business into account, we would arrive at the same conclusion. WILSON was encored in every thing he sung. avid is a great acquisition. Alias RORER has voice for any thing. bat she wants cultivation : with proper tuition she *AI be the leading vocal feature here. Mrs. Grass displvied her usual talent. KEELEY WAS very funny, though &little out of his latitude. The play experienced some interruption from a fracas which occurred in the lobby, an account of which will be found under the Bow-street head ; but Inc performers did not stop. Those who were near the parties, understanding Aiies Kitust.te to have been unjustly accused, were vehemently in favour of the assailant. The disturbance lasted more than a quarter of an bons. :LLIG Dem., Oct. 17.—Wind N.E.—Arrived front the River, and sailed, the Ellen, Camper, for the Cape of Good Hope.
