140 FOREIGN INT'ELLIGENCE. Ocaoa, APRIL IL—The most perfect tranquil lity continues to be enjoyed ;so much so, that even the most timid no longer feel any apprehen sions. The course of the government is the same as if no change had ever occurred, or as if what had sotually 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 are animated, than on the military force at present stationed in Genoa. Besides the regitaent of the Queen, who remained here during the late transactions, there entered yesterday a bat talion of Cacchiatori, with a troop of cavalry ; and other royal troops arc very shortly expected, Count Bubna, commander-in-chiefof the Austrian troops, in a despatch directed to Gen. de Latour, has evinced the most favourable disposition towards the Genoese, as will appear from the following document, which we feel it our duty to make public : • ALESSANDITA, Aran. 13.—1 no sooner read the procla mation of Genoa, than 1 gave osiers to my . vanguard, which had advanced as far as Novi, to halt. Perceiving Des.Geneys to be at the head of the Government. I no longer felt any doubts of the submission of the duchy to the King's orders, and therefore excese myself from any proccedsng 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 body in the city might have given rise, the precaution was adopted of directing the soldiers at the different barracks to permit very few persons to enter the city, and of securing quarters for Cie greater part of the fugi tives in the suburb of Sun Pier dos lteina. They have subsequently hired some vessels, and under the the guidance of a few officers, have embarked, us it is supposed, for Spain. Not a few have embarked also at Savona. Roux, 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 Aquapon dente, and the eastern by Perugia and Foligno, 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. I did not hear of a single instance of insolence or outrage in their passage through the Tuscan and Roman states except one, where an Austrian officer, after some harsh words to a butcher for 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 Roma* and Tuscan states they paid for every thing in ready money. What 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 smell numbers at Rome, but they abound in the northern provinces, and par ticularly at Bologna and its neighbourhood, where the people cannot be made to comprehend the bles eings of papal and delegated government. The en eying week being passion week, and Rome being at present fall of strangers, the ceremonies were ex ceed to be very brilliantly attended. Besides the Icing 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 foreigners. BAPTISM OF THE DUKE DE BOURDEAUX. _ PARIS, MAT 2.—At one o'clock yesterday the procession to Notre Dame commenced. A double litre was formed by the National Guards, tht Royal Guards, and detachments of the garrison of Paris. The streets, quays, windows, &c. were crowded with spectators. The procession proceeded as follov..s : A detachment of gendarmerie d'elitc, and a company of National Guards on horseback. The Count de Rochecl7ouart,i,ommandantia Place, accompanied by his Staff. The Count Defusing, Lieutenant General, Goeeniur of the lit Military Division, with his Aides dc Camp. Carriages of the Court, with Pages and Officers of the King's This Duke and Duchess of Orleans, Mademoiselle de Montpen. net, and the Duke de Chartres. Marshal Outlinot, Duke de Reggio, followed by a numerous and brilliant Staff, and preceded by ts carriage' of the Household, of the Princes, containing persons attached to them. A Squadron of Crenatlieti on hot,eback. Treks waives, with eight horses, belonging to the King's Household. A Squadron of Garth:. du Corps. ACarriage conhiniag tilt:Duke of lit urthauxand Madetnni,dle, wit!. the Uo.,:nesst-s of Children of Frar.ce. Ti.e limas at Arms. The Royal Carriage, conuti!,ing his Majesty, Motsieur, Ma dame, and the 12,:ohcA dc THE NATIONAL REGIS • Reiterated acclamations of Vive k Rol were heard during the whole way. When the procession ar rived on the Pont Neuf, in front of the statue of Henry IV. a deputation of the Dames de la Halle, carrying a bust of the King, presented bouquets to the Duke of Bourdeaus and 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 Ministers, 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 fire-works on the Pont de Louis XVI. Ihe rejoicings continued till a late hour. It appears to be determined to establish a line of telegraphs between Paris and Bourdeaux. By two ordonnunces 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 Chatequbriant 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, where he is appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs. Private letters from Trieste state that the Aus trian anti Neapolitan squadrons were assembled in the Port of Lubin, in Dalmatia, and that they were to convey to Tama= 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 18.—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 26th, 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 or-ler to re-establish tranquillity in the insurgent provinces. FRONTIERS OF 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. 'RUN, APRIL 28.—Signs of an approaching change are manifest in all the provinces of the Pe ninsula. As if by enchantment, a new partisan, who is said to be at the head of 1000 men, presented himself, on the 20th of this month, before Salve tierra, 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 Vittoria, 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 24d and 23d all the roads were covered with them. Those of St. Sebastian, Yrun, Tolosa, and Bilboa, have marched in the direction of Vit toria. 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. 1. was escorted to Irun by 25 horse clsasseurs, commanded by a Colonel and sub-officer.

EXPORTATION OF ARMS TO ALEXANDRIA. The following is a copy of a letter from the Council Office to the Secretary of the Customs:— •• Council Office, March L " Sia,—lt 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 for the exportation of arms and ammun ition for Alexandria, as being on the court of Africa, I am directed to acquaint you, for the information of the Commissioners of his Al veaty'sCuattrina, that it was not intended that the General Order, of the 22d 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 Ofacers 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) " JAMES RULLER. " To the Secretary of Customs." COTTON TRADE. Copy of a Treasury Letter relating to the Trade in Cotton Wool, dated " Treasury Chambers, Whitehall. March 19. " GENTLEMETI.—The Lords Commissioner dins Majesty'', Treasury having had under their consideration the result of the experiments to ascertain whether the allowance of four per cent. foe tare oa cotton wool might not be reduced, I am commanded by their kedships to direct you, in lien of the present allowance. to make an allowance of two per cent. for tare on cotton wool from the Breads and St. Domingo. and of three per cent. on cotton 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. LUSHINGTON. " To the Commissioners of Customs." The following is an extract of a letter front 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 British government, and he is expected to secure for us con siderable advantages. Muley Said, the brothtr of Muley Ibraim, has been proclaimed Emperor after 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 warfare. A Sar dinian boat left this place about three weeks since for Rabat, with 50,000 dollars of Danish tribute money, and 20 brass field-pieces.' Volcano in the Moon.—By a paper read before the Astronomical Society of London, from Dr. Gibers, it appeals that the luminous appearance on the moon's disc, mentioned by Captain Kater, was seen there also But Dr. 011.);:rs aids, that he by co means thinks it is a volcano, since the phenomenon may easily be accounted for on ether principles, the particulars of which he will communicate at a future opportunity. )k V .-_ ----I
