FOREIGN INTELLP ;ENCE. Or s p A sisH pApERs. Nate, Ocr. 29 ....Several couriers from the north arrived yesterday at the office of the Minister for Forei, : ,ii Affairs. The Bishop of Polignac died on the night before last. lie was 80 years old. VI r N 15.—The Gazette of Nuremburg, has published a long article upon the affair of the Ambassadors at Lisbon. "As they interest them selves," it observes " very much at Vienna with the affairs of Portugal and the Brazils, because of Archduchess Leopoldine, spouse of the Prince Royal of Portugal, the report of the recall of the Austrian Ambassador has created a great sensation here. It is said that the Princess has departed, and that all our relations with the Court of Lisbon have ntircly ceased, and that even a rupture with Spain is inevitable. This news is false in both instances; fur although Austria cannot perceive with pleasure that Portugal enjoys a Constitution which it had t:::sA to disappear from Italy, its diplomatic rela t7,.ns will not in the mean time be interrupted."... The journalist then makes a complete apology for Austria, who cannot allow itself to be insulted by a Coverninent, the legitimacy of which is not yet aelolowledged: and as to Mr. Beds, he is a liberal and enlightened man. It finishes by announcing that it will speak more clearly on the subject by and bye. Ocr. 18.—It is asserted that the Turks, who have taken by assault the convent of Seeks, have lest more than 2,000 men. The famous Jordaki, who was made prisoner in this affair and conducted to Constantinople, has, it said, contrived to escape with three Gtecks who foeglit by his side.. It is added, that a 11 darict, in order to facilitate his escape, had the generosity to represent himself as Jordaki. The Austrian Observer contains the following ae cc.unts from Constantinople, they are dated the 25th of September :—the Porte is actively engaged in the organization of different armies destined to march against the insurgents. Detachments of Asiatic troops are passing every day, some on their route to the fortresses on the Danube, and others to the armies in ltomelia and the Mores. I n the course of the last week several inspectors of the army have been appointed; one of than is Nadir Bey, formerly minister of the interior. (It will be observed that in the news of the 25th Sept. no mention is made of the pretended Hatti Sclieriff for arming all the Mussulmen, which, ac cording to the correspondent of the Universal Ga .,tle at Odessa, was published on the 20th of that mouth. We cannot regard with too much distrust all the news manufactured at Odessa.) As the Turkish troops assembled a: Salonichi have not as yet succeeded in driving the insurgents from the peninsula, the command of Salonichi has been given to a Capidigi-Bacciii, who has served in Egypt and Syria, and who, under the orders of Mahommed Ali Pacha, gave proofs of fidelity and talent. He is Paella of three tails, and on the 19th of Sept. lie was invested by the Porte with a pelisse of honour. Immediately after the arrival of this Governor, the attacks against Ali Tabelen are to be renewed with increased activity. Pachas were ordered to march against him, three had already set out for Mores with their troops. SENEGAL, SEPT. 10.—There has recently arrived at St. Louis two Negro Kings, governing people who exceedingly annoy our commerce upon the river which gives its name to this colony. The object of their voyage, they said, was to treat of peace, and the result of the negotiation will be entirely to our advantage. MAGRI n, Ocr. 18.—A Catliz journal inserts the following petition, addressed to the National .As cembly " Representatives of the Nation : notwithstand ing all the aims of the Infant Don Carlos to per suade the world that his Majesty is the deliverer of Spain, and although his Majesty has basely and ig nominiously lust himself to so criminal an usurpa tion, his Majesty yet cannot obtain so fair a title which does not belong to him, and which he is for from meriting. This glory was reserved for other souls, greater and more elevated than his. Let the King know that before he arrogates to himself so high an honour, he ought, if it be possible, to make himself worthy of it. But there is now no time for this, and he can never enter into the circle of those great men whose memory alone can ennoble Spain; of those men who, at the commencement of the year 1820, delivered their country from the fiercest of her tyrants, and spread over the earth maxims, the more precious as they had previously been un knewn. (Signed) "A. TOLER, and BANQUELO." ~ Catliz, Sept. Yt." Menem, OCT. 16.—Excepting in a Place, the name of k‘hieh we do not care to recollect, the ra. THE NATIONAL REGISTER rochial elections made in the provinces show the : same spirit of order, moderation, and love of the constitution, of which Madrid has given such a distinguished example; the elections generally fall on persons worthy of public confidence, and who promise not to frustrate the hopes of the friends of the constitutional system when the time for the dis trict elections shall arrive. This uniformity of opi nion is a fresh proof that the public spirit becomes every day more and more consolidated. LIIDRIGA, OCT. 6.—ln eight days 33 persons have been seized with the fever; eight have died, and two recovered, and the cases of the others are dangerous. Almost the whole population have gone into the country c the Alcade and Municipality fa cilitate the only means of salvation, by distributing among the people wood and reeds to build bar racks. GRANADA, OCT. 10.—The parochial elections in that city have proceeded with the greatest harmony, and the fears of the epidimic disorder diminish daily, but we do not neglect to take the necessary pre cautions. _ _ 06T. 11.—We have received a despatch from Malaga, and the accounts of the epidemic are very afflicting; the Junta and the Municipality have met, it seems, to double the measures of precau tion. SARAGOSSA, OCT. 10.—The Superior Board of Health has been intbrtned by its commissioner, Don Augustin Quinto, that the sickness at Mequinenza is drawing to a close; for want of food, hardly 20 inhabitants remained in the town, the greater num ber went into the country; that even should any of those latter be attacked, no great alarm need be ex cited, as the families are fully kept asunder. and the duty of the cordon was strictly performed.
