FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS PAPERS. PARIS, SEPTEMBER 30. A letter from Perpignan, dated the 18th inst. confirms the details already given relatively to the sad situation of Bareehms and a part of Catalonia. The number of persons who have quitted Barcelona is stated to be from thirty-five to forty thousand, who are scattered in different quarters of that fated province. Turku's, and the whole shore of the Ebro, is a prey to this terrible scourge : Malaga, Cadiz, Xeres, and Port St. Ntary. are not exempt from the infection. It is feared that the *!ate of political affairs does not permit the Govern ment to deliberate with effect upon the necessary measures which such grievous circumstances require. Barcelona, it is ►aid, is only occupied by indivi duals whom the hope of pillage has induced to re main. The Waren° of that town is now empty : all those who were confined there have died ; that of Earcelonetta is menaced with the same results. A letter from Mount Louis, dated the 19th inst. announces that all Catalonia is in desolation, and that the streets of Barcelona are deserted, as the iml,appy inhabitants have withdrawn to the moun tains, from whence they are repulsed by the pea santry, and die of famine and misery. This letter roufirms the previous account., that upwards of 67,000 passports were delivered before the esta blishment of the cordon of health. It was concealed from the inhabitants that this cordon would be formed at a very little distance from the town; as soon, however, as it was known to them, they com mitted sad excesses. The civil authorities had quitted the town. A letter from Bayonne, dated the 22d, says : " Advices have reoclied our authorities respectiug the progress of the infection in Catalonia, which lies determined them to adopt more rigorous pre cautions on the frontier of Navarre and Guipuscoa. The customs' 'roots have been reinforced by three companies of troops of the line, which now form a strong cordon. The first detachment will be sta tioned at Hendeye, Biriatoco, the Pus-de-Behobia, and 011ietta ; the second at Sure, and St. Pee; the third at Ainhod, and lisasou." " The Pas-dc-Behobia is the only point by which •ammuoication with Fiance will be permitted. • These measures are at present merely precan because but little communication exists •talonim and our neighbouring provinces, %minions symptoms appear amongst sf the authorities and the fidelity 'spire its with security." sf England, having passed sity on the morning of %ere he would ar led that after ze Monarch • of the C: ' lion ar 5 , betweta Even should c. us. the vi6ilance ► of the troops would t. 11;4 Majesty the King the Hight at Lille, left that ► ;!- t he -26. ►turtstit,lt was expc , fur Brussels, VI give the same evening• having dine d with the whole Court , tit. would go to the theatre, to see the opera Bayaderes performed.

Yesterday being the anniversary of the birth-day of the Duke of Bourdeaux, his Majesty received at the Castle of the Tuileries the congratulations of their Royal Highnesses Monsieur, Madame, the Duke of Angooleme, the Duchess of Berry, the Duke of Orleans, sod other members of the Royal Family. There was a grand breakfast, after which the Duke of Bourdeuer and Mademoiselle were brought to the King, who caressed these august infants with great tendernees. After masa the King, accompanied by his family, appeared at a balcony. An immense crowd assembled beneath filled the air with shoots of " Lire the King," " Lice the Duke of Bourdeaus," " Line Me Bourbons." The hotel of the King's life gii3rils was brilliantly illu minated on the occasion of the smile e y. The Duchess of Berry also received the congratulations of her royal relatives on the occasion. DRUVSELS, SEPTEMIIItit 21. It is said that our Sovereign, in order to give his illustrious host, the king of England, a high ides of his royal munificence, and of the flourishing, state of the modern Flemish School, intends to offer his Majesty twelve of the best paintings in our .Saloon, in different styles.

About five o'clock lest evening the cannon of the citadel announced the arrival of his B►itauuic Ma. jesty within our walls. The Marquis de Jinnilhac had teturod from Calais at four. He immediately mounted his horse, and proceeded anew at the head of his stuff to the suburb of Le Barre, to accompany the King from thence into the city.— A slight accident, which we may be allowed to call fortunate, procured fur the inhabitants of Lille, the pleasure of seeing his Majesty in an open carriage. About one hundred paces from the battier the main braces or a spring of his carriage became deranged, and the burly of the carriage having sunk on one side the horses were stopped. The carriage of Madame de Latnairie followed the King. This Lady alighted, and had the honour of giving it up to the Monarch, who consented to occupy it at the request of M. the Marquis de Jurnilhoe. An immense crowd preceded his Majesty, alio was received with lively acclamations, which he acknowledged in the kindest manner. The King alighted at the hotel de 1' Europe, where he received the principal Authorities. The whole population pouted into the Hue Besse, in which this hotel is situate. The baud of the garrison played during the whole night under the windows of the saloon choice pieces of military airs and symphonies. His Ma jesty set out this morning fur Brussels. TRIESTE.

LON DON, THURSDAY, OcToota 4, 1811. We have received the Paris Papers of Saturday and Sunday. At the moment we were encouraged to consider the yellow fever ow the decline in Spain, we find it pronounced in an official act of the French Government us prevailing to an extent that threatens the safety of neighbouring countries.— In France it has excited great alarm, to which country we learn from previous accounts it had communicated itself at Marseilles. The Govern. ment of France has, therefore, adopted the necea. miry precautions against the spread of the con tagion. The Moaiteur contains a Royal Ordi nance on this subject, dated the 47th Septem ber. After reciting that his MAJISIITY has received information of the progress of the yellow fever in Catalonia and other provinces of Spain, it di rect that all communication by land between Catalonia and the Depariment of the Eastern Pyrenees shall cease until a new order, except by the route of Prates, and that every t►a. yeller coming from Spain shall perform quarantine ut that place. The introduction of cattle, mer chandise, and all articles capable of conveying in fection from Spain, is abo prohibited, except by the same route. All communication with the de partments of the Arriege and Upper Pyrenees is interdicted, and all communication with the Up per Garonne and the Lower Pyrenees will be re stricted to a single route. A cordon of health is also to be drawn along the whole frontier of Spain. These are the principal points of the Royal Ordi nance. The minuteness of the minor regulations and details extend it to a considerable length. A private letter from Yren of the ved ult. gives a melancholy picture of the state of Barcelona : the inhabitants of Barcelonetta, whose party rage has not been quelled even by the ravages of the yellow fever, have refused to obey the authorities, and huve fUrcibly passed the cordon of health to com municate with those of Barcelona. A great num. ter at peredlis have witbrirawn trdih the city td the provinces, where they were repulsed by the in habitants, who treated them as enemies. At Saragossa some apprehensions are entertained, and even at Madrid precautions are adopted to pre vent the infection extending to that place. Advice, front Trieste and from Genoa, of the 9th and 19th of September, confirm the account of the defeat of the Turkish fleet off Samos. Two fri gates are said to have fallen into the hands of the Greeks; a ship of the hue, and several transports, laden with Asiatic troops, were burnt, and several others sunk. The Paris Pipers contain su account of the King of ENGLAND'S journey only so far as Lille, which lie left on the morning of the 27th hist, on his way to Brussels. The Paris Papers of the Ist instant a►rired at a late hour last nigh►. The following are extracts:— PARIS, OCTOBER I. The Journals of this day (Journal des Della's, Journal de Paris, ('onstiirtionnel, tc.) contain long details from Madrid, of the 17th, 18th, 1911 i, and 20th of Septrmher, giving an account of some disorders which have taken plaice there. On the 18th General Morillo resumed the mili tary command of the capital, and of the province of Camille. On the lath the Political Chief published en O,dinance, prohibiting all kinds of public meet nip, the object of winch should be contrary to the laws of police. This measure was produced by a plan which was known to exist, of carrying the portrait of Riego through the streets. The Ordi. native also declares, that the Club at the Foutan■ d'Or shall be suspended for the present. Just after time Ordinance was published, with • great display of public force a group of persons, twenty or thirty in number, appeared towards night-fall at the Sun-gate with the portrait of Riego. They passed before the troops at time Sun-gate, but as they contented themselves with making a great noise, the Officers did not think fit to disperse them ; emboldened by this forbearance they pro ceeded to the municipality, where the Political Chief, the Commandant, and some General Offi cers, were assembled. %Viten the Political Chief saw this procession, which had increased in its pro gress, arrive before the hotel of the municipality, he attempted to persuade them to separate, the Ge neral Commandant placed himself at the head of the battalion of national militia on duty at ti►e municipality, and cleared the square with the bey ond. It is not certain whether any persons were wounded, but—if-4 -certain that none were killed. The Political Chief himself charged the factious sword in hand, and seised the portrait of Riego. Some alguazils mixed by order of the authorities among the attendants of the portrait, and watched the most seditious, several of whom have been ar rested. This measure has confounded the club- Lists, and this first act of rigour on the part of the authorities, to which they are nut accustomed, has had a wonderful effect on that collection of wretches, who every moment disturbed the peace of the ca pital, and in the sequel that of the provinces. Letters from Seville say that Major-General Grimarez (almost 80 years of age), being con demned to ten years in • presisho for conspiracy against the Constitution, the sovereign people, displeased at the sentence, went to the prison and tore to pieces this unhappy old man, who had retired from the service above twenty year*. Letters from Catalonia say that Riego has been arrested at Lerida, by order of the Government. A letter from Sir Room Wtr.son to his con stituents, stating, that he hud demanded en inquiry into his conduct, is given in another part of our Paper. This demand his Royal Highness the Duke of You has thought proper to refuse. We did not anticipate any other answer. How ever unmerited the punishment of Sir ROBERT WILSON may be, we did not expect that Ministers would expose theist/elves to the reproach of having punished first and tried afterwards— “ Gm/aim have Rhatlasaantbus habet durisitima, regea Cauttigaitiee, anditqae dolor." The Meeting io the Borough of Southwark to morrow, will, we expect, afford a full and holiest exposition of the public feeling upon this interest ing.sobject. The most recent accounts of the state of the herve,t, now a subject of peculiar interest, are given in another part of our paper.

The German papers hare wonderfully exagge rated the warlike preparations and marching of troops which may hare taken place in the Rusoian empire, the greeter part of the army of the south remaining in its cantonments, under the command of Count Wittgenstein.

Last night the opera of Rob Roy Macgregor was performed at this theatre, in which Mr. YATES played the part of Rob 14)y, heretofore sustained by Mr. MACREADT. That regret for the 'blew+ of that distinguished actor should not hire leer awakened, while the fine glowing tint of Romania. heroism which his performsnce shed over the chi; racier was yet fresh in the public remersibrairre, war: impossible; and it is no small praise to Mr. YAilig to say, that the excellencies of his predecessor were not too forcibly reviled. lie gave abtlildal.f vigour to the bold and forcible outline of the cki racier ; and what little there was el crudity percep tible in the filling up of his conceptions, or the Unitising of the performance, was clearly to be ascribed to those habits of imitating the peculia rities of other performers, which at times seemed to force from him, in spite of himself, some of those mannered tones, and inflexions of voice and gesture, which distinguish their delivery of parti cular passages. The part of Dinner Vernon was filled for the first time by Miss Ifs ttssue, whose reception, it being the first night of her appearance in the present season, ass most flattering. She booked extremely well. lier voice seems to have acquired an increase of strength arid solidity since her last performinices here; her articulation is also hecome rather more distinct ; she strikes her notes with greater firmness and precision ; and her delivery has gained in fluency evidently [tom practice anti study. The rich and mellow depth of her lower tones were heard to advantage in the duet with Mr. DunusaT, to the air of " .Ruy's Wife of Aldi valloch;" and her improved execution was cousin enema in « The bonnie bran; young Highland man ;" her cadence at the conclusion was finely. imagined, and executed with a degree of brilliancy ■nd admirable precision which called down a most enthusiastic encore. Mr. LISTON made his first appearance for the season in his old character of Baillie Nicol Jarvie, and was greeted on his en-. trance with cheers of welcome mud repeated rounds of applause. The remainder of the characters were filled as heretofore, and the accustomed owed of approbation *warded to their several representatives. The liendesvous followed, in which Mr. MEADOWS made his second appearance before a London audi ence in the part of Sirtioa, and confirmed the favoura ble impression produced by his previous performancs of Scrub. Mr. BLANCHARD was the Quake, and the scene between the two characters we have named,. in which they are alersard by the discovery of per sons hidden in the closets, was as fitly acted • piece of comic terror as perhaps was ever exhibited lon the stage.

ASCENT OF MR. GREEN. Yesterday (Tuesday) upwards of 30,000 persona• I assembled iii Black Bock Bottom, Brighton, midi on the adjacent hills, to witness the •scent of Mr. Green, in his Coronation Balloon. The weather was flue and the atmosphere particularly ckar, with. it smart breeze from the north-west. Twelve ass the time announced for the a►cent; but, from some cause or other, the public were kept in anxious stIF pense until eight minutes past two, when the bal loon was seen to rise in a slow and majestic style. The aeronaut waved his hat and was cheered by the spectators. From the weight it bore, the balloon took a south-westerly direction, descended so low as to admit Mr. Green to tooth the earth with one tit his fie, about a bundled yards from the gasome ter, whence he ascended; by throwing out ballast,. however, it again ascended, takings north-westerly direction—that is, carrying Mr. Green out to sea. The balloo►► for the space of twenty-six minutes. was visible to the naked eye, and tOr • short time afterwards was perceptible by the aid of a telescope. Late in the afternoon the mate of the Unity packer. Capt. Clear, arrived at Brighton, express from Sea ford, with the intelligence that Mr. Green, with his• balloon, had been ion ked up at sea, about four miles from that place, by the above vessel. Mr. G. hoped to sup in Brighton last night, and was mo mentarily expected when our paper went to press at. eight o'clock.—( Brighton Chronicle.)
