140 FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. GENoA, Arum 18.—The most perfect tranquil lily continues to be enjoyed here; so much so, that even the most timid no longer feel any apprehen sions. The course of the government is the same us if no change had ever occurred. or as if what had :knottily taken place existed only in the decrees of the Junta of Turin. Our security is not less founded on the excellent disposition with which all the inhabitants arc animated, than on the military force at present stationed in Genoa. Besides the :regiment of the Queen, who remained here during ' the late transactions, there entered yesterday a bat talion of Cacchiaitori, with a troop of cavalry ; and other royal troops are very shortly expected, Count Bubua, commander-in-chief of the Austrian troops, in a despatch directed to Gen. de Latour, Las evinced the most favourable disposition towards the Genoese, as will appear from the fidlowing document, which we feel it our duty to make public : • ALESSANDRIA, APRIL no sooner rtrul the procla mation of Genoa, than I gave orilets to my vanguard. which had tolveneed to tar as Novi, to halt. Perceiving lies-Geneys to be at the head of tl.e Government, I no longer felt any doubts of the submission of the duchy to the King's orders, and therefore excuse myself from any proecetLng that may cause inquietude to the Genoese." Within these few days a great number of disbanded soldiers, and other individuals compromised of the revolution, have directed their course towards Genoa. With a view of preventing the disorders to which the assembling of such a hotly in the city might have given rise, the precaution was adopted of directing the soldiers at the different barracks to permit very fey persons to enter the city, and of securing quarters fin. Cie greater part of the fitgi- Lives in the suburb of San Pier da Reina. They have subsequently hired some vessels, and under the the guidance of a few officers, have embarked, as it is supposed, for Spain. Not a few have embarked also at Savona. ROME, APRIL I3.—The King of Naples leaves Florence to-morrow, and will arrive here on Sunday morning. His Majesty and suite will be preceded by his wife, the Princess of Portana, and her retinue, who were to set out front Florence to• day, and are expected here to-morrow. Both the western road by Sienne and .Aquapn dente, and the eastern by Perugia and Foligtto, are crowded with Austrian baggage-waggons, carriages, and troops, passing on to Naples or returning from that kingdom. The convoys everywhere behave with the utmost order, and observe the strictest discipline. 1 did not hear of a single instance of insolence or outrage in their passage through the Tuscan and Roman slates except one, where an Austrian officer, after some harsh words to a butcher fin not supplying him quickly enough with rations, went the length of striking him. The butcher plunged his knife into his heart, then fled, and has not yet been apprehended. In the Roman and Tuscan states they paid ti:r every thing in ready money. NVltat they may do in Naples afterwards remains to be seen. _ His Holiness the Pope, in conjunction with the government of Naples, is taking the most active measures to destroy the Carbonari. An edict has been issued against them, and is posted up in the principal streets of Rome. The partisans of this sect exist in proportionally small numbers at Rome, but they abound in the northern provinces, and par ticularly at Bologna and its neighbourhood, where the people cannot he made to comprehend the Ides sings of papal and delegated government. The en suing ssetk being passion week, and Rome being at present full of strangers, the ceremonies were ex pected to be very brilliantly attended. Besides the King and the Court of Naples, there will be here Prince Maximilian of Saxony, and his daughters (one of whom is immediately afterwards to be married to the Archduke of Tuscany), together with several foreign ministers, and other distinguished tbreigners. BAPTISM OF THE DUKE DE BOURDEAUX. PARIS, MA V .Q -At one o'clock yesterday the procession to Notre Dame commenced. A double line was formed by the National Guards, the Royal Guards, and detachments of the garrison of Paris. The streets, quays, windows, &c. were crowded with spectators. The procession proceeded as follows: A detachment of gendarmerie Welke, and a company of National Guards en horseback. The Count de Rochechouait, Commandant Is Place, accompanied by his Stall. The Count Defiance, Lieutenant General, Governor of the Ist . . Military Division, with his Aides de Camp. Caniages of the Court, with Page s and Officers of the King's Ilouschold.

TIM NATIONAL REGISTER Reiterated acclamations of Vive lc Rd were heard during the. whole way. ‘Vhen the procession ar rived on the Pont Neuf, in front of the statue of Henry IV. a deputation of the Dames de la Halle, carrving a bust of the King, preseuted bouquets to the - Duke of Bourdeaus anti Mademoiselle. The procession arrived at Notre Dame at half past one. The ceremony of the christening took place in the presence of the Corps Diplomatique, the MiuLters, Peers, Deputies, Marshals, &c. The ceremony concluded at four, when his Ma jesty returned to the Palace amidst the acclamations of an immense crowd. At eight the whole city was illuminated; at nine there were magnificent lire-works on the Pont de Louis XVI. The rejoicings continued till a late hour. It appears to be determined to establish a line of telegraphs between Paris and Bourdeaux. By two ordonnances dated 3d April, the Count de Montesquieu and the Count de Blacas are cre ated Dukes. By another ordonnance of the same date, the Viscount de Chateaubriant is appointed Minister of State, and a Member of the Privy Council. The Chevalier Bardaxi d'Azara, Spanish Minister Plenipotentiary in France, set. out on Monday for Madrid, wh&e he is appointed Minister for Foreigm Afl'airs. l'rivate letters from Trieste state that the Aus trian and Neapolitan squadrons were assembled in the Port of Lusin, in Dalmatia, and that they were to convey to Tarentum a Russian column destined to occupy Apulia and Calabria. It is hoped that' the presence of the Russians and the Austrians in Italy will give to the oppressed majority in Spain sufficient energy to render all foreign intervention superfluous. VIENNA, APRIL B.—The armaments continue with the greatest activity. All the regiments are raised to their full complement, and the garrisons of our principal cities have received orders to march for Italy. The first column of the Russian army will arrive on the Dith, at Presburg; the second will imme diately follow. It is reported that Austria and Russia have offered their armed intervention to the Ottoman Porte, in order to re-establish tranquillity in the insurgent provinces. FRONTIERS Or MOLDAVIA, APRIL B.—According to the last accounts, the greatest anxiety prevails at Bucharest, because the Turks are quitting their for tresses and approaching the capital of Wallachia. Many persons are leaving the country. On the 30th of March, one of the principal personages of Mol davia quitted Jassy. Inure, APRIL 28.—Signs of an approaching change are manifest in all the provinces of the Pe ninsula. As if by enchantment, a new partizan, who is said to be at the head of 1000 men, presented himself, on the 20th of this month, before Salva ticrra, four leagues from Vittoria. The National Guard of this city marched against the rebels; a very smart action took place, and, after an hour's fighting, the national guards were forced to yield to numbers, and to surrender themselves prisoners, with the ex ception of only four. These, on their return to Vittoris, spread the utmost consternation. Orders were immediately given to all the national guards of the three provinces of Biscay to take up arms. On the 24. d and 23d all the roads were covered with them. Those of St. Sebastian, Yrun, Tolosa, and Bilboa, have marched in the direction of Vit toris. We await with impatience the results ; but this event has caused much alarm. On the 18th of April the Bishop of Tarrazona, an old man of 70, arrived at Bayonne. This ecclesi astic, who was Grand Inquisitor in Spain, rendered himself so obnoxious, that the people expelled him. He was escorted to !run by 25 horse chusseurs, commanded by a Colonel and sub-ollieer.

The following is a copy of a letter from the Council Office to the Secretary of the Customs:— " Council Office, March 1. SIR,—It having been represented to the Lords of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, that the Officers of Customs require a special Order of Council foe the exportation of arms and ammunition for Alexandria, as being on the coast of Africa, I am directed to acquaint you, for the information of the Commissioners of his Majesty's Customs, that it was not intended that the General Order, of the :Nil November last, should extend to the ports of Africa situated within the Straits of Gibraltar, and that their Lordships are, therefore, of opinion that the °Scars of Customs should be instructed not to require in future special orders for the exportation of arms and ammunition to the ports of Africa which are so situated. (Signed) " To the Secretary of Customs." 6, JAMES BULLER. COTTON TRADE. Copy of a Treasury Letter relating to the Trade in Cotton Wool, dated • Treasury Chambers, Whitehall, March 19. GENTLEMEN The Lords Commissioner, or his Majesty's Treasury having had under their consideration thc result of the experiments to ascertain whether the allowance of four per cent. far tare on cotton wool might not be reduced, I am commanded by their lordships to direct you, in lieu of the present allowances to make an allowance of two per cent. for tare on cotton wool from the lirasils and St. Domingo, and of three per cent. on co ton wool from all other places (exclusive of ropes), except in cases where the merchant shall require the actual tare to be ascertained, or where the officers of the revenue may deem such a proceeding advisable. (Signed) " S. R. Lt'SHINGTON. To the Commissioners of Customs." The following is an extract of a letter from Gibraltar, dated April 15 :—" Mr. Douglas, our consul for the Empire of Morocco, went in his Ma jesty's hired schooner Pacifico two days ago, to Tangiers, and was received most graciously by the Prime Minister of the reigning Emperor. Several valuable presents were sent by him to the 13ritish government, and he is expected to secure fur us con siderable advantages. Muley Said, the brother ut Muley lbraim, has been proclaimed Emperor atter the death of the latter in Tetuan; but he retreated on the advance of his uncle, the Emperor regnant, and has taken a direction towards Fez, which place, should he reach it in safety, we may look to for a continuance of the present cruel warfitre. A Sar dinian boat left this place about three weeks since fur Itabat, with 50,000 dollars of Danish tribute money, and '2O brass field-pieces."
