1194 FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. 71r - PARTS, Seim 2.—The Arni de la Clusrte of Nantes contains the following article on the affair which took place in that town on August 26th:— A deplorable event was exhibited in this town the day before yesterday, at the hour cf change, and on 'AR ; the Place du Commerce. Every body was offended. The Swiss soldiers who form the guard established at this spot made a charge on the citizens, and no business was dune on change. A number of the merchants who witnessed the affair went immediately tosolie Mayor, but this officer not being returned ffoua,Paris, they waited on M. Barbier, his chief officer. He was still at the office (Mairie), whither they immediately repaired. Near the door they met MM. Delatullaye and Doucet, other assistants to the Mayor, who were coming out of the place. One' of the merchants explained to them the ohject of their visit. The two officers replied that MM. Bar bier, Petit Desrochettes, and Bernard (the son), had hastened to the Place da Commerce; they invited the merchants to enter, and requested some of them to explain the matter, as it was not possible to attend to three hundred people at once. Accompanied by tzti citizens, among whom were several merchants and men of property, the two officers went into the council-room, when they were informed of what had happened. They listened with attention and kindness t•a the recital, mani fested considerable interest, and a lively solicitude for their fellow•eitizens. Many of the citizens, and particularly the father of a family, whose contribu. tions to the state place him in the class of the etgi- Wes, expressAl themselves with energy, but without departing from the respect due to the constituted authorities. ! At this time a serjeant came from M. Barbier, at that time on the Place du Commerce, to beg the other two officers to repair to him. The citizens then took their leave, it being understood, and agreed to, that they should address a written complaint to the Mayor. The officers of the Mayor collected on the spot, and from a number of citizens, all the facts of the business. It was easy to point out to them that when the Swiss soldiers ranged before the guard-house, and after having already made two charges on the inha bitants, were preparing to load their muskets, that irreparable chief would have been produced if the people had not cried out, " Let us go to the Mayor—let us complain to him." The Prefect, infiirmed of the circumstance, came to the Place du Commerce, and his presence was of great advantage. A small number of Swiss arrived at the guard house. The colonel came on horseback, accompanied by a servant. M. de Brea, the commandant, also repaired thither. A detachment of Gendarmes was ranged before the guard house. During this time the officers of the Mayor con versed with several respectable persons, and were surrounded by a great multitude. There was also a multitude of people belbre the guard-house. The Gendarmes having moved forward to disperse the crowd, received orders from the officers, Al AL Bernard and Doucet, to retrogade. This conduct ekes honour to the municipal body. The officers having requested the citizens to re tire, gave orders to the troops who bad come to reintinte the guard to vacate the spot. The Gen darmes, and the few Swiss already mentioned, obeyed instantly. The Swiss colonel retired about the same time. BAramer, Aun. 27 —The accounts which we have received of Quesada's expo Ition confirm the statement that he had projeeted a junction with the Trappist, who, on the Itith, was at Balbastro, in -tarragon, where his troops committed the greatest excesses for 24 hours, in consequence of the resist ance made to him. The junction was to take place at Tafailla, and would have been effected but for a sudden movement of the Empecinairo, who, how ever, had do ord,Ts to pursue the Trappist, but only the factious di , persed at Siguenza, who had retreated towards Calatayud. In fact, the Empecinado learnt in this city, on the 18th, the intended junction of the Trappist and Quesada, anti resolved to march to Balbastro, uhich the first had left on the same day, taking the road to Huesca; he put in requisition 411 the carriages and conveyances that he met with,and on the 21st at day-break overtook his adversary, who most certainly did not expect to meet him. The Truppists were surprised, and terror seized them; the Empecinado completely routed them in less than ton hour, killed 200, made a great many prisoners, and took 60 horses, the baggage, the treasure, and a part of the pillage which they had carried off from Balbastro. The chief himself was nearly taken, and only escaped in the confusion. Meantime Que istla reinforced the pests on the whole chain of the mountains twin Ochit,gavia to Taluilla; tile cavalry lushcel its recwinuisances as far as Sadava, three kagues from Ayerbe, and Cul. Cabra, with 1,200 gio I • ea.aea. _ _ ea_ THE NATIONAL REGISTER men, made an incursion on the 24th into the valley of Bastan, into which he had before penetrated, threatening at the same lima Yrun and St. Sebas tian, where great apprehensions were felt. On the oilier hand, the Junta circulated its proclamations through the whole country on this side the Ebro, the invasion of which doubtless seemed to them very easy. By this movement Quesada had placed hint self between the troops of Tubunca and those of Guipuscoa, which already observed him; but the route of the Trappist has, without doubt, discon certed his plans, for the troolis of Col. Cobra have fstlen back upon Irat:, abandoning the valley of Ruston, from which they have carried off arms, am munition, and provisions. The movements of the bands of the three pro vinces towards Navarre shows that the Dsfenders of the Faith prr t jected some great blow, but at ,resent they seem all to have returned to their positions. No more troops have yet arrived in these provinces to reinforce the Constitutionalists, except the militia of Tora, which was already at Vittoria on the 24th, and 200 horse, which E4pino3a brought with him ; but it is certain that two battalions would arrive at Vittoria on the 26th or 27th, and two others at St. Sebastian, corning by sea from Galicia. The bands and guerillas of the two parties conti nue to desolate Navarre and the three provinces. The following is the proclaination which has been clandestinely printed at Bayonne, and circulated by the Defende:s of the Faith in Spain : " Navarresp!—The provisional Junta of Government, pene trated with the heroic sentiments which animate you in favour of rvlition, the King and the country exhorts you, for the se con I tone, eagerly to hasten, inspired by these sublime ideas, to defend the greatest cause that our ancestors are acquainted with. The impious constitutional system directly attacks re ligion and the King, and consequently a horrible anarchy, with all the symptoms of a bloody revolution, threatens us from such a government. This ruinous code, the work of treason and crime, ofTers us by experieece a picture representing all kinds of excesses. The history of nations, and afflicting events of our days, agree in demonstrating this truth. " Jr. the first time we called upon you trader the banners of the King, arms were wanting, cc:misery to oar solemn promises, you must attribute this wholly to the machinations of the evil minded, who by means of gold were able to check for a mo ment the rapid progress of our first designs ; but the manoeu vres and intrigues of the perlideous Liberals being now baffled, we can ensure the reality of all that we promise. We have in in our power abundance of arms of all kinds, ammunition, money, clothing, aid every thing necessary to triumph over our enemies. We garrison an inexpugnable fort, wide!, will serve as a support and bulwark to the arms of his Majesty ; and aiso as a prison for those who derlare themselves the enemies of our cause. We have 4000 infantry with 300 cavalry, who in their first essays in war, have been the admiration and terror of their opponents. " Navarese !—The insults stifTered by oar holy religion, which is publirly outraged by the arms of the Liberals, excite terror. The proclaimera of the most perfidious of men cry aloud—' Down with religion ! the Devil for ever.' ( Marra in Iteliyion! y viva et domonin.) " The soldiers of the royal army will bear testimony to this truth. The people of Erro and Visearet deplore the profana tion of their churches, and the aacriligious robbery of the sacred utensils, caused by the vandals of Spain. " The dreadful violation of Artajona end Anorbe ; the pillage of Vielangez, A4C^9l, Itargoven,‘ idle de Erru, and inlay other places; the assassination of the innocent people of Moniain and l'uente, who were put to death without being allowed the spi ritual comfort of penitence, are authentic proofs of the atheism that inspires them. And in sight of all this will one of you hesitate a moment to take a part with us? The !tourer struggle is come, and those who do not issue forth to the combat w not be worthy to retain the names of Catholics, of Spaniards, and Navarrese. The Standard of the Faith is unfurled ; ard the banners of the King are every where dis!lat ed. Hasten, then, to juin them ; and, bravely fighting for our captive King, Ferdinand, this faction of impious republicans will instantly vanish, who endeavour to deprive us at once of eternal felicity and of temporal happiness, by plunging us into an abyss of in calculable evils. Unite without delay, and you will give to Spain a day of glory and renown, which will elegemd to the latest posterity, with the immortal names of those who hare de fended, at the hazard of their Lives, the cause of God, of the Kiag, and of the country. .• Girth in the palace of the Government at Ochagavia, the 16th of August, 11822.

BATAVIA, MARCH 22.—We learn from Soura bava, that his Majesty's frigate illela;npus sailed from that place on the 16th instant, bound to the Molucea islands, having on board the late Sultan of Palembang., Machmoed I3adan Oetlin, who is to be conveyed to Ternate, which the Supreme Govern ment has fixed upon as the place of his banishment. The Resident at Ternate had received previous no tice of this resolution, with orders to make all the necessary preparations to receive and establish the late Sultan as well as possible, and to treat him with all the respect and indulgence that are compatible with the security of his person. About 50 of the relations an servants of the ex-Sultan accompany him thither; several of those who at first followed him from Palembang to Fort Orange, have express ed their intention not to accompany him any farther. no men, A vizi. 27.—ItVe learn the following front the Russian frontiers, Aug.

Van Muller, Counsellor of State, e Secretary, and three aides-de-camp. It is affirmed, that in the approaching congress important and very comprehensive measures will be proposed against the Liberates or Carbonari, in all the countries of Ku rope. The Prussian Minister, Count Bernstorff, having received despatches from Toeplitz, where the King of Prussia is at present, set out on the '2oth, with a small suite, for Vienna, to attend the preliminary conferences. Nothing is yet said of the departure of the Chan cellor, Prince Hardenberg, for that city nor is it known whether the King of Prussia, who was ex. pected back at Berlin, on the 29th, will go to Vi enna or not . A KSTERDAM, AUGUST 30.—About 100 children, most of the lowest class, having fallen victims, within a few weeks, to the negligence of their pa rents, and been carried off by the small-pox, the Burgomasters have given notice to the inhabitants of the imminent danger, and seriously exhorted every one to promote vaccination to the utmost. FRANKFORT, AUGUST 25.—Count Hardenberg, the Hanoverian minister to the Court of Austria, has arrived from Vienna, on his way to London, where he is to assist in drawing the plan for the organization of the kingdom of Hanover. M. Hop. penstedt is also a member cf the committee appoint ed for this purpose. SEMLIN, Auo. 12.—Since my last letters have been received from Epirus, by which it appears that Count Norman could not possibly have been present at the affair at the Thermop3lre. The great igno rance of geography of many Greeks has probably made them confound him with some other General: however, Norman is said likewise to have gained a victory in Albania on the 20th of July, but the particulars are not known. So much is known for certain, that in the middle of July he was posted, with Bozzari, near Arta, which is 80 leagues from the Thermopyhe. I have a letter from Bigtolia be fore me of the 31st July, which likewise announces the entire defeat of the Chourschid Paella at the Thermopyise—this is the letter stating the Paella to have been taken prisoner with 70 Beys and 11,000 Turks. To this is suljoiaed the other report of the defeat of the Greeks on the 1301, and of their vic tory on the I.lth of July, and the heroic conduct of young Bozzari, who defended the "Ihertnopyle with 700 men, but lost his life, &c.

BAYONNE, Auo. 30.—We have no news of the Army of the Faith, for the secret committee which we have at Bayonne has not published any for some days: we cannot receive any from the Constitution alists, because Qu‘satla absolutely intercepts all the couriers from Navarre. It is said that Lieut.-Gen. Don Carlos O'Donnell, who has been for these few days at Bayonne, is going to take the command of Qaesada's army. We expected the news of the de feat of the Trappist to be confirmed by the letters from Oleron, but nothing has trann , ired to day en the subject. 4-
