FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. BAYONNE, JUNE• 25. On the 24th and 25th, the Junta met at the usual hour and place, and held its seventh and eighth sit tings. The deliberations on the project of the Con stitution were continued, and each Member delivered his remarks in writing. Afterwards the Junta settled as a principal measure, that all these remarks should be compared and well considered ; as also, that such• of them as tend to improve the project of the Consti ution, which must forever establish the happiness of Spain, shall be taken notice of. - • According to intelligence received from Spain, tranquillity is restored in the districts of Segovia,Val ladolid, and Placentia—that part of Navarre and Ar ragon, which is situate on the right bank of the Ebro, is also returned to obedience. The Latest accounts which the Junta has received from Madrid, respecting Cadiz, as well as the army b"fore Gibraltar, are very tranquillizing. In general, the Captain-Generals, the Corregidors, the Alcaldes, and the most polished part of the Spa tial nation, display the best sentiments; and in those pla :es where insurrections had actually broke out, thew commotions were only occasioned by the com mon peoplr-, who wan:ed to avail themselves of an unsettled time, without a government, to commit the most violent excesses.

PARIS, JULY 2. According to letters from Bourdeanx, there are daily passing strong divisions of French troops, -coming from all quarters of the kingdom, and pro ceeding., on their march to join the army in Spain with all expedition. The French privateer la Nouvelle Gimnde, is ar rived in one of the Spanish pats, after taking five prizes. French Bank Stock closed at 13/5 francs. Annul ale at 85 francs, 25 cents. The Grand Duka of Berg, who is now at Bayonne, has had a dlagerzms fever, from which he is now Lappily rceovered. 'rhe numerous reports with re lation to this subject are all false, and he is soon ex pected in this City. M.-Saint Vallier, by an Imperial decree, is ap pointed President of the Conserstative Senate, for the ensuing year. In all our ports, the following order of the Minister of Marine, dated the 18th June, has been publised " Far these three months the English cruizers pursue and cap. tare the French fishermen; they commit these acts of violence,' even though, upon the example given by the Emperor and King in March, 1800, tha British Government in the following June solemnly declared, that they would cause the French fishermen to be respected; and while that Government. knows very well, that the laws of the Empire (Regulation of the 112 d May, 1803) order that enemies fishermen shall not be int;rrupted. The mo deration with which these acts of barbarity and violations of good faith have been hitherto met, has not brought back the British Government to its engagements, or to more manly sentiments. His Majesty the Emperor anilJeing therefore orders his ships of war, and privateers In particular, to attack the English fishermen, to make them prisoners, and to captore and destroy their vessels. These reprisals shall be exercised till the British Government shall cease to persecute the French fishermen. (Signed) VENICE, JUNE 11. " DECR ES."

The reports relative to the breaking nut of in surrecions in the county of Mark, by reason of the military conscription, have been much exaggerated. It is now kewn tor certain, that only some irregu larity has been committee.

ADDRESS OF THE COUNCIL OF ASTURIAS. The General Council of Government of this pro vince, in which the Sovereignty resides, and his Ex. **lcy the General in Chief of the noble Asturian army; have witnessed with the utmost joy and satis. faction, the generous enthusiasm with which their beloved countrymen enter into the military service in order to defend the Kingdom against the most unjust aggression, and rescue it from a state of unprece-' dented calamities. But, considering, on the other hand, that it is expedient, nay indispensably requisite, to organize this army, and fill it with those respecta ble men, natives of the country, who are best quali fied to reconcile the good of the service with the in terests of agriculture and the arts, have resolved, that the Justices of the province shall direct all those, who ballotted for Ole militia in the meetings which were lately held for that purpose, in all the different dis tricts of this province, will, without reserve, imme diately repair to this city ; together with all persons, who although they may not measure as many feet and inches as are prescribed by subsisting military re gulations, are yet tit to bear •arms. I communicate this to you, by command of the General Council, for your information and punctual performance. Col keep you many years in his holy guard. Oviedo, the 38th May, 18C8.

In the very short time that the soldiers of t h e new levy have been exercising, they have made such pro. gress as to raise the surprise of the veterans, and le be scarcely credited by those who are strangers to the wonderful effects of patriotism, and it is to be hoped our forces will increase every day, so as to in,s , ,l re t h e fulfilment of the wishes of the Country.

But all the accounts that have been re. ceived speak in similar terms of the zeal and fervour with which all ranks are animated in Spain and Por. tugal. We fit:a, however, that none of the accounts that have been received of the defeat of Duporr,have any thing like official authority to support them, though we have no doubt whatever, that his situation was perfectly hopeless, and that before this time his fate and that of his corps has been decided. Indeed, from the accounts of active exertion and general rib. ing in Spah contained in the letters that have been received, it is the opinion of many who have the best information, that there is not at this moment a French man alive and at large in Spain excepting those that are at or in the nighbourhood of Matir.d. Wednesday afternoon, the SWALLOW, of 18 guns, and the EN - commis, of 18 guns, with fifteen sail of transports under their convoy, sailed from Plymouth, for the coast of Spain, having on boaril about 5000 Spaniards, from the prisons at Portsmouth and Ply. mouth. They left this country pith heirts big with gratitude, not merely for the humane treatment they experienced while prisoners, but for the lively Lterest which they have seen the British take in the welfste of their native land. 111 11 is" • C Pr J a AMY_ Im al I M L Cons rod' lb.

According to accounts from France, not only has the French Oovernment, but also its allies, broken off all diplomatic relations with the Romish Court, and the idea of a Concordat has disappeared. It appears from an article from Amsterdam, dated July '3, that King Louis has been making a progress through the department of Guelderland, inspecting" the various manufactories, and ordering the dikes' Ste to be repaired in various places. When at Am-. st,riam, he received most graciously the different Constitutei Antborit'es, and the Ministers of the int.- rious Chrkstlan Communities. ,A general report. ap- 1 pears to have prevailed, that King Louis would thisl year also pass out of his kingdom. He therefore took an opportunity of declaring, that since his last return, his occupations had so much increased, that.he never intendedto leave the kingdom.

The French intend to strike a blow, fatal :o you, and you are lost if you are guilty of insubordination, or disregard the Councils of your Governor. Your firing, your beat of drum, 'your bells, give to your enemies the knowledge of where you are, where your force, and where your weak ness. From your enemy conceal your power, that you may strike the blow with the more success ; and that you may encounter him when he least expects your approach. By these means you may conquer him. Subject yourselves to your superirrs in all and through all, if you are desirous of victory— otherwise, be assured you will meet only, disgrace. From necessity, after this manner : the I.,ighty bull yields to vigilance, dexterity, ard the little cloak. By whatever is sacred in Heaven or in earth, by the sa cred name of JESUS CHRIST, the Governor implores you, that you maintain subjection to your Chiefs, conforming to the regulations of your respective com panies.

DUTCH JOURNALS. • We have this day inserted extracts from Ditch Pa• pets to the 9th inst. They keep silence respecting the surrender of the French fleet, and state, with much composure, that the accounts from Cadiz and the army before Gibraltar are tranquillizing! They admit that commotions have broken out in several places in Spain, but de s cribe them as merely polular cream, is which the respectable inhabitants take no part. It appears, however, that 'the demonstrations of the Spanish .mob are esteemed sufficiently important to demand, not the interference of the peace otE• cers,--not a more energetic administration of the laws, but the presence of strong divisions . of French troops, which are now marching into the country-4 pretty unequivocal test of the ftrce which BOYA' PARTE deems necessary to quell th -se en-erstr, as they are termed by hiin and the accommodating Junta of Bayonne. From these Papers we have derived a i piece of information, of which we were not before in possession, namely, t'iat ti , e Patriotic spirit had manifested itself in the Province of Navarre, and though they talk of tranq iiliity being restoted in one Bart of it, it is perhaps a tranquillity similar to that which they. say prevails at Cadiz and St. Rogues. An article from Dorstein informs us, that inset . • rections had broken out in the county of Mark, from the rigours of the military conscription, bia: that L11:1 have been suppressed.
