FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. BILBOA, APRIL 26. EXTRACT OP A PRIVATE LETTER. It has fallen to my lot to inform you of one of those disgraceful plots which the enemies of our Con stitution have been treacherously carrying on in se cret, but till now had not dared openly to act upon. Of course you are well aware, that notwithstanding the popularity of our present system in every Pro vince, the disappointed, ignorant, and fanatic, wish its overthrow—and if they could gain their ends, there is not any means, however vile and disgraceful, to which they would not resort: The Friars and Parish' Priests, of a certain class that is, for even among them there are many Liberates, are the worst, and i they do not hesitate to make use of that religion they profess, and ought to teach, for the most abominable political purposes. This has been their conduct on the present occasion, as you will now see. " Last Good Friday, a day almost entirely devoted to Church service, the following events took place in Salvatierra, a town belonging to the Province of Alaba, two leagues from the boundary of Navarre. There a secret conspiracy had been formed, and it was arranged that eight of the neighbouring towns should rise up. The sermon on that day was con fided to a Friar, who, with the greatest vehemence, preached against the new order of things, and of course made a strong impression on his deluded hearers. After the ceremonies were over, he placed himself at their head, crying, " Down with the Con stitution—Long live the Inquisition !" He was joined by half a dozen curates, several lawyers and notaries, and in a very short time he had collected 1000 men. " In the course of ten hours, we learnt here, by the way of Victoria, what had taken place in Salvatierra, and our militia and 80 grenadiers, the only disposable force the Political Chief had, were instantly prepared. They immediately marched eff to Vehandiano, in order to act under the orders of the Political Chief of Victoria. In the meantime General Mendizabel had left Tolosa with 200 militia, 150 regulars, and two mountain guns, for the purpose of joining out people in Victoria, with a view to make an effective attack on Salvatierra, which is a walled town, though a weak one. General Lopes Banos, however, arrived from Pamplona, before Salvatierra, with 500 infan try, 80 cavalry, and two small guns, and having sur rounded the town, he took the whole of the insurgent garrison prisoners, amounting to 300 men. The other 700 remaining partisans of the Friar had previously left the town and gone into the interior, for the pur pose of collecting arms, obtaining supplies of money, and increasing their numbers. At the head of them was the Friar, with a crucifix in his band, urging' them on by his seditious and fanatic appeals. " As soon as the Friar and his 700 followers learnt , the preparations making against them in Victoria, and that Lopes Banos had advanced again't their strong hold, they came down to the town of Onate, and men proceeded on El Orli°, next to Durango, and afterwards to Ochandiano. In Bilhoa we heard of their arrival at the latter place at midnight, on the 21th, and the Political Chief having ordered the alarm to be sounded, we were enabled to muster 200 militia and a few regulars, who instantly advanced against the Insurgents. As soon as the latter learnt their danger, they withdrew to Durango, whither they were followed by our people, whose Comman der, Captain Gana, by an express, has just informed us, that he attacked them, killed two, wounded seve ral, and the rest fled. Half an hour after this action, the Insurgents were met by 200 Catalonians, who, by an opposite road, were coming from Victoria to join our Militia, when a serious affair took place. " The Insurgents had seventeen killed, many wounded, and sixty were taken prisoners. The re mainder had dispersed in the woods and mountains, and our people were pursuing them in every direc tion, so that not one could escape. Thus the whole of this nefarious plot was frustrated immediately by the celerity of the movements of the neighbouring Chiefs, and the readiness of the people to second them. I ought here to observe, that during this at tempt to raise an insurrection in Biscay, not a single Biscayan joined the standard of the rebels, nor had the exhortations of the Friar, or the money he had to bestow, the smallest effect on the people. This is , the more astonishing when you consider that Biscay has lost more (if that expression may be allowed) than any of the other Provinces, owing to the re moval of ancient privileges, &c. but the people are fully sensible that in giving up these, they have gained more substantial benefits." VIENNA APRIL 23. _ _ The Congress at Laybach has long since terminated its operations ; but the continued residence of the two Emperors, and the presence of a great number -of members of the Diplomatic Body made it appear that the Congress was still sitting. It is affirmed that the moment is at hand when it will be entirely dissolved, and that before the end of the mouth, the two Emperors will be back here with all the Minis ters accredited to them. The rapid success of the Austrians, both in the kingdom of Naples and in Piedmont, and the resto ration of order and tranquillity in these two States, seem to have induced some changes in the march of the Russian army. It is asserted that the measures of Russia are con fined for the present to assembling a strong force on the frontiers ; and that the Emperor Alexander has placed 80,000 men of the army, which was on its march, at the disposal of the Emperor of Austria.— It is not known whether his Majesty has accepted this offer. VIENNA, APRIL 24. The Proclamations posted at Bucharest by the two leaders of the Insurgents expiess very different views. In that of Theodore Sultzec Wladimisko, which is dated the 17th of March, it is stated—" This prin cipality possesses important privileges, which have been granted by the favour of the most high and powerful empire, but which the Boyards, by conces sions made to each new Ilospodar, with a view to their own advantage, have extinguished. * * The people have risen solely to recover their privi leges. * * * They will wait at Bucharest the arrival of the Commissioners of the Sublime Pox te, charged with examining into our melancholy situa tion, with restoring our rights, and our good con stitution."-*-It would appear from this that the move ment directed by Theodore . resembles many other partial insurrections which have occasionally taken place in the privileged provinces of the Ottoman em pire, and which have always for their object the re covery or the extension of their local liberties, but never to overthrow the empire, an idea which pre vails only among a small number of the Greeks of Constantinople and the islands. Ypsilanti, on the contrary, holds quite a different language. He speaks in the style of those Europeans who imagine that Greece can be regenerated, and the troops expelled or subjugated. The Proclamation published at Bucharest, however, contains only com plaints on the flight of the Boyards, or Nobles. He calls Wallachia the ancient Dacia, which cannot be very intelligible to the people lib addresses. It ap pears that Theodore has not opposed the publication of Ypsilanti's Proclamations; but he has not sent to compliment him. This difference of object in the Chiefs greatly reduces the importance given to the insurrection. If the Porte arrange with Theodore, and set bounds to the exactions of the Hospodars, Wallachia will be tranquillized, and Ypsilanti will not be able to maintain himself in Moldavia. When it is recollected that these two Principalities were mines of gold to the Greek Princes of the Tanari quarter of Constantinople, who by rich presents pur chase the office of Hospodar, and who returned from their Governments immensely rich, it will naturally be concluded that there is little probability of an understanding between the Greeks and Theodore, for he has evidently less hostility to the Empire than to the tyranny of the Hospodars.

SPARRING. Randall's Benefit, at the Fives' Court, yesterday, was very well attended, and the sparring was excellonr. Amongst the matches which attracted most attention were the following Cribb and Spring.—This was a neat exhibition of science. 'The sturdy Champion retains all his strength and.vigour, and Spring bad quite enough to do to keep pace with him. There was more of parrying than of hitting, and the tactics displayed afforded much diversion. Skelton and Hickman afforded much amusement in judgment and strength of hitting, and, if anything, Shelton had rather the best of it, by parrying most of the right-banded lunging hits of Gas, and at ether times countering the same blows. Gas, however, would be at work, and he doubled himself up and rulfianed in sometimes, and gave his adversary some teazers. Randall and &les pourtrayed more science tli:m any of the test. The blows were delivered like lightning, and parried with ..-tuilishing dexterity, so that vety few were placed. The last was a rattling round, and some good hits were exchanged. Oliwr and Harry Harmer had a good set-to, with equal ad vantav3, and they gained applause. Johnson (Richmond's Black) and a countryman six feet high, produced excellent spit in the true ruffianing style, and drew forth pals of uproarious approval. The Black's left hand was constantly in his adversary's face t which was deluged in claret, but the countryman flinched none, and drew Massa's cork in re turn. It was real fighting until both had enough. Dads and Spencer, two resolute young ones, closed the sports. NAVAL AND IVILITAR Y BIBLE SOCIETY. A Meeting of the friends of this Society took place yesterday, at the King's Concert Room, in the I lay market, and was attended by Ladie; and Gentlemen of the highest rank. Admiral Lord GAmstau was unanimously called to the Chair. The Secretary read the Report, stating that Branch Societies had been formed in various parts of England, Ireland, and . Sco tland, and also at Gibraltar ; and the most salutary results were anticipated for the future from the suc cess hitherto experienced. Upwards of 16(X) Bibles and Testaments have been distributed amongst the several regiments stationed in Ireland. In Scotland, 1,000 copies of the Scriptures had been supplied to persons in need of them. Upwards of 9,00(1 Bibles and 4,800 Testaments had been distributed by the Naval and Military Society of London. Through these efforts to circulate the Word of Gov, as well as from the daily-increasing demands upon the Society, a balance of £l,OOO was due frem them ; and an energetic appeal was made to the liberality of the Meeting, to enable the Society to follow up their pro ceedings with increased vigour. A curious and valuable Chinese quadrant, of a very singular construction, has recently been pre sented to the Fitzwilliam Museum, in the University of Cambridge. The King of NAPLES, in his Proclamation from Laybach, says—" A long experience, during a reign of sixty years, has taught us to know the character and real wants of our subjects." The following anec dote will shew that his subjects are not likely to trust much to his abilities for the support of their real wants; at least, that they thought him an old woman, when he had not comple:ed one half of his reign of long experience:—When Sir JOSEPH Acrox was taken into the service of Naples, during the Premiership of the Marquis of SAMBUCCA, he soon acquired a great influence over the QUEEN, who had an unlimited power over her husband. One morning the following lines were found written on the gates of the Palace: " Hie Regina—/nrc Res—hoc &album. Hic, het, hoc, Acton!" Sir JOSEPH ACTON, it may not be irrelevant to ob serve, soon after. became •Minister- of Marine, then Minister of War, awl finally Premier; he died is 1800. SCOTCH JURY BILL. A. Meeting of the Noblemen, Freeholders, &c. of the county of Edinburgh, was held there on Friday last, for the purpose of taking into consideration Mr. KENNEDY'S Bill for introducing into Scotland the English mode of choosing Juries in criminal trials, in place of their being nominated by the presiding Judge, as is the practice at present. Sir Joint HOPE moved several Resolutions in commendation of the present system, and disapproving of the proposed Bill. Mr. Jos's CLERK (the celebrated Barrister) moved an Amendment in favour of the Bill. After consider able discussion, the votes were taken, when there appeared— For the Resolutions os For the Amendment 11 Majority —l4 EMIGRANTS TO AFRICA. • CORK, MAY 2.—A person in the neighbourhood of Cove received, on Sunday last, a letter from his son (via Plymouth), who sailed with Mr. Parker for the Cape of Good Dope. The writer gives a most me lancholy account of that expedition : he states, that on their arrival they found the settlement destined for them to be a portion of land which had been abandoned by a Dutch merchant, and so barren and wild, that any attempt to cultivate or recliim it would be utterly hopeless. lie says, that most of the men who accompanied Mr. Parker from this had deserted him, and that Mr. Ingram's men had con ducted themselves very badly. Mr. Parker, the writer states, is about to come home to represent his griev ances, and to try and procure redress, and indemni fication for the expenses he has incurred in this fruit less expedition. DUBLIN, MAY 5. Yesterday Bridget Butterly and Bridget Ennis were executed, pursuant to their sentence, for the murder of MISS THOMPSON, otherwise MISS ARY DAMES, at the house of Captain PECK, in Portland-place. At eight o'clock on the preceding morning, But terly made a confession in the jail, to which Ennis assented, in the presence of several Gentlemen. The confession, which was taken down in writing, stated, that an improver intimacy had subsisted between her and Captain Peck, when in his service; that she had been turned away ; that, about eight days before the murder, the prisoner Ennis pressed her to go to England, and that the robbery was planned for the purpose of raising money to defray the expense of their journey, but without contemplating the murder of Miss Thompson. The following is the account she gave of the perpetration of the crime: . . . . " On coming up to the house, an alteration took place as to which of us should enter; I rapped first; Miss Thompson let me in, kindly received me, and shook me by the hand; she brought me into the parlour; I took up the young child, about two years old, and caressed it; by this time Ennis rapped at the door; I laid down the child, and Miss Thompson opened the lour for her; Ennis then desired me to put the handkerchief about her (Miss Thompson's) neck or face; cannot say which she used; I immediately fastened it about her neck, and dragged her down the staircase leading to the kitchen; the young Lady called upon Ennis, and implored her to help her; Ennis cried out—' Biddy, don't injure the young Lady!' I replied—' I have no intention to hurt Miss Thompson.' Ennis immediately left the house with a trunk ; I had dragged Miss Thompson two or three steps down before Ennis had left the house, but had not given her a blow or any other injury at that time ; I pushed her down the stairs, until I got her in.° the kitchen; I then seized a poker, aad began to beat her, and gave her two blows with the poker un the head ; Miss Thompson screamed, and so did I ; the blood gushed out in torrents; Miss Thompson then lay quiet. I stooped forward over her, and endeavoured to raise her in my arms, cannot account for this impulse, by which my clothes be came besmeared with blood. I left Miss Thompson lying in that state, and went up stairs; met the child on the stair-head, took it up and kissed it, and set it down in the parlour. I then took up the desk, instantly left the house, and proceeded to Mary Brieu'slouse, and to my great surprise found Enais had not been there."—She solemnly declared that she made use of no weapon but the poker—neither knife, garden-trowel, or tongs. During the storm, a few days ago, the church of St. Giles, near Great Torrington, Dorsetshirc, was struck by lightning, which rent the tower from top to bottom ; the four pinnacles were shivered in pieces, and one of the stones, which weighed 33 pounds, was found in a field at a considerable distance. The clock was materially injured, but the body of the building escaped without any damage. A few days since, a Nobleman's assistant-game keeper, in t;te vicinity of Gravesend, .was watching two crows on the ground, when a young rabbit came out of a burrow, which the crows instantly seized, and began to devour. The cries of the young rabbit brought the old one to its assistance, and while they were fighting with the crows, the man fired his gun, and killed both the crows and the rabbits. At the Reading Sessions, WILLIAM HALLETT, Esq. appealed to hve rates made for the Parish of Kintbury : the chief ground of his objection to them was, that the Clergyman was not rated as occupier of his tithes.—(ln the 23d Edit. just published, of Burn's Justice, p. 53, is is stated, " And a parson, who lets to each parishioner his own tithes, is properly the occu pier and ought to be rated.-16 Vin. 427. Abr.")_' No' defence was attempted ; and it was allowed by one' of the Overseers, that no parish in England re quired a re•valuation more than the Parish of Kint bury : upon which, CHARLES DUNDAS, Esq. the Chairman, and a principal owner of lands in the said Parish, advised the Overseer, by his Counsel, to agree to the rates being quashed with costs, which was re corded, and the costs referred to RICHARD POWLETT WRIGIITR BENYON, Esq. Guu.nu.sic.—The congregation at St. Sepulchre's Church was disturbed during Divine Service, on Sunday last, by the indecent behaviour of a drunken man, who made his way into the Church, and was with some difficulty taken out by Pike, one of the bea dles, and lodged in the Compeer. When brought up on Monday to answer for his misconduct before Mr. Alderman Cot, h' was recognized as a regplarly ordained Clergyman of the Church of England, and not long since a popular preacher at a very respect able Episcopal Chapel at the West End of the Town, where he was for many years the established Minister. H e arried the daughter of a Banker of the greatest respectability, by whom he has a very lovely family, all of whom have by his unhappy pas sion for liquor been reduced to the utmost distress, and are now, by his own description, destitute both of food and raiment. Th e only visible means of support he at present possesses is an allow ance of some kind from the Navy of between £5O and £6O a-year. This pittance, unfortunately for him, he receives annually in one sum, and it is soon squandered in his fatal indulgence. The re malnder of the year is one continued scene of poverty and misery. Being sober, his behaviour before the Magistrate was most re spectful and gentlemanly; he expressed great sorrow that he should have been guilty of such excess, and promised a stricter guard upon his conduct in future.—Mr. Alderman Cox, after a serious admonition upon the dreadful effect of his conduct upon his wife and family, permitted him to be discharged.—Tbe pri soner returned his thanks in a most imprenive and feeling man.

The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses tit de sideratum of our enjoyment; teeming not only with happier on earth, but disposing the soul itself to harmonize with bias hereafter. Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligati* it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the pinkish but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities chid the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed epos is To the neglect of such attention are attributable many of then hapless instances, which, while they excite the conunhetsdis of the beholder, should also impress bim with the fur of id& reproach.
