FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS. JAN. 9. The Duke of Wellington remained s;iily a week at Paris, during which time he slimmed wills the Count de Cazes, the Minister of General Police. A letter frosts Lille states, that Mauhreuil made his escape I the prison of Douay, on the night of the lit of January. He took the road for Antwerp, where it is supposed he will embark. It is slated in letters from Bayonne, that Las' Cases, who lately returned from St. Helena, will be sent to the fortress of linenigin-Grartz, iu Bo hemia; but the news requires confirmation. It appears front advice: , front the Levant that the trade with India is going to take a new direction, a , md that the route by Suez, so long abandoned, will he resumes!. Several ships have arrived in the port of that city. by the Red Sea, with rich cargoes front China and the East Indies. Letters from Antwerp. of the 3d Jannary, state, that very serious quarrels have taken place among the military who compose the garrison of that city. The soldiers have fought in several parts of it, and some of them have been killed and some wounded. The citizens have been also ill-treated by the drunken soldiers. Au event has occurred at Marseilles which evinces the most consummate wickedness, if it can be supposed that the culprit had fore►eeu all the consequences. A lady who, shout eight o'clock in the evening, was walking in one of the most frequented parts of the town, appeared all at once enveloped its a smoke which arose with violence. On hearing her cries, souse persons rats towards her, and it was discovered that a very large quantity of squafortis was con suming her clothes and face. Every possible atten tion was afforded, but Use dreadful liquor had al ready burned several parts of her body ; her situa tion became pitiable, and it still causes muds anxiety. is their ►olicitude, the spectators never thought of pursuing the authors of this unheard-of crime, but it is hoped that they will be discovered. It is suspected that it wits prompted by jealousy, and the attention of justice is fixed on another lady, who has been arrested in consequence of it. Several Spanish corvettes have sailed from Ca diz to cruise against the Insurgent corsairs, which have lately bunted many Spanish merchant vessels, after having plundered them of every thing va luable. A letter from Rode:, of the lst of January, states, that M. Auharet, a Counsellor of the Royal Court of Montpellier, has for ten days been exa aaa i t Mg witne►ses in the affair of Fualdes. Oise of the last persons examined is an inhabitant of the village of Lis Mouline, who happened on the evening of the 19th of Mardi, to be coucealed on the banks of the A veyron. lle saw the convoy descend, and the victim precipitated into the river. Ile also heard the dreadful words of the oath which the principal murderers tendered to their assistants. The night was not very obscure; he could distinguish the as►assins. The inquiries of justice have discovered a crowd of other persons, whose uniform testimony strikes with the clearest evidence the actors iii the scene of the A vey roll ; but the motnent and the circum stances attending the assassination remain enveloped iii darkness. Of these nothing is known but what youngest daughter 11116 reported. M. Aubaret summoned the Ciiptain of the De partmental Company, and demanded of him his motive for having caused the retreat to be beaten earlier rhau usual, on the evening of the day on which the crime hail beets committed. The inhabitants of ltorlez have recently given • new proof of the horror inspired in them by the re menthrance of the crime which has agitated the town. Au unfortunate woman had, without being aware of it, taken to the market tin- filthy animal that was said to have gorged itself with the human gore. Some tierson immediately recognised it, and cries of horror immediately resounded from every quarter. The poor woman, disgusted at the odious commission which she hind • ieently undertaken, abandoned the anim a l. The people did not kill it, but nil one ducd acknowledge himself its mater. Bastille has not been in fetters for some days, but every night before locking his dungeon a chain is passed round his body, which dues not prevent him flow sleitiiig. By a judgment of the Civil Tribunal of Itodez, - AIM LON DON. MONDAY. JANUARY I'2, ISM Last night we received Paris Papers to the 9th iustaist. We are sorry to learn by them that the King of DENMARK. at the solicitations of the Court of Spain, has been induced to prohibit the importa tion of arms and miiiiitions of war front foreign countries into the free port of Saint Thomas, iu the West Indies. This Island had been the general rendezvous of all the European adventurers who were proceeding to join the Independents in South America, and had also been the principal mart whence the Patriots had been supplied with stores necessary for the attainment of their liberty. This prohibition must therefore be felt as a very Rescue blow to the cause of South American freedom.

The permanent an nual revenue is estimated at twenty-four millions of dollars. The expense in 1818 would be greatly lessened; it was estimated at aboot 2n millions of dollars. Hostilities between the army of the United States and the Seminole Indians have continetic,d.

The interior of the Province of Nova Scotia had experienced a vast increase• of population► during the past year; those whom the events of the late war had invited as residents of Halifax and its immediate vicinity, had retired up the country, and commenced in various agricultural pursuits.
