FOREIGN NT ELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, da°ed April 25.) PARIS, APRIL 24.—The Constitutiannel and the .Tournal des Debuts announce, to-day, that the Duke de Laval, Ambassador at Vienna, was appointed Mi nister for Foreign Affairs, in the Council, yesterday. (The Monitcur does not mention this nomination.) The Augsburgh Gazette speaks of a misunder standing between Admiral Heyden and Admiral Malco!m, respecting the Egyptian vessels captured by the Russians. The English Admiral, it is stated, demanded that they should he restored ; but the Russian Admiral refused, observing that his Govern ment being at war with the Porte, could not allow the Egyptians to send assistance to the Turks, and make the island of Candia a military depot, which the Russian marine could not regard with indifference. Sir P. Malcolm, it is said, yielded to the solidity of these arguments, and the captured ships were conducted to Egina. The same letter announces that the Greeks have recovered their advantages in Livadia, and that the quarrels between the Turks and the Albanians greatly contributed to this success. A Journal says that Mr. Gordon, Ambassador from his Britannic Majesty to the Ottoman Porte, has arrived at Paris, and that he will set out for his post next week. His Excellency, in fact, set out for Naples four days ago, and will embark in that city for Constantinople.

Fnoat THE DANUBE, APRIL B.—The simultaneous arrival in this city of the Commanders-in-Chief in Hungary, Galicia, Bohemia, and Lombardy, gives rise to many conjectures respecting the object of their being scat for. It is thought not improbable that certain measures may be prepared on the part of Austria, which may tend to forward any negociation that may be commenced. BRANDENBURGH, APRIL 17.—1 t is understood that the Emperor of Russia will not come to Berlin, but will probably have an.iuterview on the frontiers NNith the King of Prussia.. It is afamed that the Emperor will go for a short time, but incognito, to Wallachia. ..... The accounts from Konigsberg, Wehlaw, Thorp, and Elbing, give most afflicting reports of the damage done by the rising 'of the Pregel, the Vistula, and the Nogarth. At Wehlaw the water rose twenty one feet above the ordinary level, and poured into the windows of the houses ; the dykes had given way in several places. At Thorn the Vistula rose from 26 to 30 feet, and poured over the top of a dyke 14 miles in length, carrying with it enormous masses of accumulated ice. The accounts of the dannige done by the bursting of the dykes at Grand ing and Marienwerder are dreadful. Above 200 dead bodies had already been found. STOCKIICL3f, APRIL 10.—We have not yet any indication of spring, except that the days are getting longer.

A Turkish army of 20,000 men was be sieging the fortress. Neither the gallant defence of the garrison, nor ;he severe losses which the Turks suffered, abated the temerity of the latter. They repeatedly attempted a storm, and two mines were on the point of being sprung, prepara tory to a general assault, when, at day-break on the 16th, a corps sent to the relief of the place, arrived, and obliged the enemy to raise the siege, and retire in the utmost confusion. Major-General Prince Bebontoff availed himself of the opportunity to make a sortie, and although his garrison consisted of only eiriht companies of General Paskewiteh's regi ment, and one company of the Cherson Grenadiers, the whole of them having been almost incessantly upon the ramparts since the 4th inst., he pursued the enemy for several versts, capturing four pieces of artillery, one mortar, two standards, a quantity of stores, and a large number of prisoners.—St. Peters burgische Zeitung.

PETERSBURG'', APRIL 10.—The Journal of St. Petersburg/1 gives from the report of General Count Pakewitsch to his Majesty the Emperor, the fol io xing detailed account of the events with which the campaign in Asiatic Turkey has begun, this year:— " A Turkish corps of above 20,00 d men, under the command of Achmet Bey, of Adjar, advanced, in the night of the 31 of March, from the province of Adjar, acijoining that of Akhalzik, took possession by day-break of the suburbs of the fortress of Ak halzik, proceeded to assault the place, and reached the first wall of the town. But in spite of all his exertions, the enemy was compelled by the exem plary valour of the garrison, to retreat with cor.sider able loss, and take up a position in the neigh bourhood. As soon as General Count Paske witsch was informed of this event, he sent two regiments of infantry, a regiment of Cossacks, and ten pieces of cannon to the relief of Akhalzik, and for the protection of the other fortresses occu pied by our troops in that neighbourhood. Mean time Akhalzik was closely blockaded, and the gar rison, which was not numerous, continually resisted the repeated attacks of the enemy, and constantly repulse(' them under the ecmmand of Major-Gene ral Prince Bebontoff, Governor of the Fortress. The rapid march of our reinforcements was checked by the enemy on the Koura. This river winds in a ravine through which the road from Georgia to .Akhalzik passes, and it was to be crossed twice at the distance of 42 and 50 wersts from the fortress. Clonel Bourtoff, w ith the head of the column, composed of five companies of infantry, 250 cos racks, and five cannon, arrived on the Ilth of March at the first passage, made himself master of it, and detached a company of cossacks to the second pas sage, but the cossacks were obliged to come back :again, having met with a strong detachment of the tnetny. For two days the Turks endeavoured to make themselves masters of the passage occupied y onr !.rave troops, who repulsed their attacks with ;,' aad maintained their position, though a P. Art of the enemy's INCTO had occupied the height' and thrown down enormous stones upon them, to compel them to retire. On the 13th March, the Turks not repeating their attack, Colonel Bourtoff took ad vantage of the interval to construct rafts, and made his whole detachment cross over to the right bank of the river, in order to turn the enemy, by following the road along that bank, and to get possession of the second passage. This movement was commenced in the evening of the 13th March ; the narrow stream of the Koura alone separated our troops from the watch-fires of the Turks, whose conversations they could hear, but they marched in such profound silence that they were not perceived by the enemy, who at day-break seeing us masters of the second passage, and finding themselves thus cut off from Akhulzik, dispersed among the mountains, and en tirely disappeared. Meantime the enemy's corps blockading Akhalzik received information of the approach of the reinforcement, before the latter could reach its destination, and raised the siege on the 17th March, before sun-rise, retreating preci pitately and in disorder. Major-General Prince Bebontoff took advantage of this circumstance to make a sally, and, notwithstanding the fatigue which the troops had undergone from the 4th March, hay ing been almost constantly upon tte ramparts, he pursued the enemy for some versts with some com panies of infantry, killed a great many men, captured four cannon, one mortar, two standards, a great quan tity of ammunition, and many prisoners, the number of whom was not exactly known when the report was sent off, because more were every moment brought in. The detachment of Colonel Bourtoff entered Akhalzik the same day.--Journal de Petersburgh, April 11. ODESSA, APRIL 1.--Since the 21st March, 29 vessels, of various descriptions and sizes, hired by the Government, have arrived from Kovarna, Varna, Mangalla, Constantinople, and other places, all in ballast, and a brigantine from Kistendji with military stores. BERLIN, APRIL 20.—The accounts from War saw of the 16th say that great damage has been done by the overflowing of the Bug and the Narew. All the bridges on both rivers had been swept away by the ice and the flood. At Konigsburg the water had fallen three feet on the 15th, but the danger was still great:—Prussian State Gazette, April 21. AMSTERDAM, APRIL 24. Exchange on London, 12 021 ; two mouths, 11 95. The Dutch Papers of the 25th contain no news; only the Haarlem Courant gives, from Batavia Journals to the 13th December, a very long official report of the capture of the famous priest, Kiaja- Modjo, and his adherents. PRINCELY DECLARATION OF POVERTY. —ln a German Paper appears the following article, dated Stutgard, April 9 :. " tilm, April, 1829. " For a considerable time past I have been assaulted with such a quantity of what is vulgarly called begging leteers, that I know of no other remedy but to declare to the writers thereof, that it is in vain for them to attempt to wring any other contributions from my already much shrunk purse than that of publicity. Although lam in clined to consider it a sacred duty to afford as much as sistance as possible, still the performance of this duty de pends not so much nn the inanation as on the means that are at the command of an honest man. In my case these are very limited, and have been of late further reduced by certain taxes, &c. Besides, my assistance is due, in the first place, to those persons in whose vicinity I reside. I request, therefore, that all those who fancy they can force me to contributions by dedications and other means, to save themselves the trouble in future, inasmuch as I have nothing else to reply to their alleged distress, than Knock elsewhere, for I cannnt assist you, however inclined.' (Signed) " HENRY, Duke of Wurteniberg." We were on Sunday last visited by several severe hail-storms, which did considerable damage to early vegetation. The young peas in many of the gardens in and near this town received great injury. At Cuckfield, the storm in the afternoon was accompanied with light ning, which killed a pig belonging to Mr. W. UWINS, of Misbrooks Farm.—Brighton Herald. On Saturday morning, at an early hour, a young waterman, naned EDWARD WrsroN, not more than 18 years of age, hiving put the mate of the merchant brig Ellen on board, was returning to Bermondsey-stairs, when unhappily his boat struel; against some craft with so much violence as to capsize it, and the unfortunate youth lost his life. His body was dragged for, and picked up on Saturday afternoon, and an inquest will be held on it this day. On the preceding evening another young man, named CROUCH, working on one of the wharfs at Horse lvdown, was drowned ; he was assisting in landing some goods, when the crane struck him across the back, and threw him off into the river. No less than eight or ten persons have lost their lives by drowning in the river within the last fortnight. THE TURN-OUTS.—We regret to say that no progress has been made towards an agreement between the spinners and their men, either here or at Stockport. It was expected last week that at one mill here the men would set to work on Monday, at a very small reduction from the former prices, but some misunderstanding arose, which prevented it. It would seem as if the spinners and manufacturers entertain very gloomy expectations of trade, when, at this generally brisk season of the year, they al low their machinery to stand idle, rather than give the rate of wizes which they were paying in ,the flat months of winter.—Manchester Times. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Thursday a fine boy, about 16 years of age, lost his life at the head of St. Leonard's-lane. Along with a number of his juvenile companions, he had obtained a small cannon, which they were firing in honour of his Majesty's birth-day, and while he was in the act of driving home the charge against a wall, the powder was ignited by the sparkling match he held in his hand, and in its rebound the cannon laid open a portion of the abdomen. His companions fled, and his father was among the first who arrived at the spat, and seeing his only child writhing in the agonies of death, he exclaimed, " Oh ! what's this ?" to which the boy faintly replied,—" Oh, father, I am awfu', awfu' &Air !" and immediately afterwards expired.—Scotsman. Extract of a letter from Savannah, dated March 14 :—" STEPHENSON, the banker, has made al most as t:uch noise here as he did io London. You may perhaps learn from the public prints that he, and his clerk (LLOYD), were landed here from the brig Kingston, under the names of SMITH and LAEIEN, thus retaining their proper initials. There is no law of this State, nor, I be lieve, of the United States, to lay hold of any person for such offence committed in another country; but the re ward of 1,500 dollars being offered fur STEPHENSON in New York, was a temptation to some in this place, who were daring enough to tike him secretly and forcibly out of his bed at night, and put him on board a pilot-boar, where be now is, if not already landed at New York. The parties offending have been arrested, and bound in heavy penalties and securities to answer or appear at a trial to be brought on next May. The punishment for such offence by the law of this State is fine and imprisonment. LLOYD is still here, who was with STEPHENSON when seized, and is bound to appear as principal in the prosecution. STE PHENSON says he has brought only 3,000/. with him, and has left enough to pay all demands against him ; but hav ing, in a very urgent case, to save the credit of the house, made nee of the Exchequer bills, was afraid of his neck. lie says, were he assured of person +1 safety, he would go back and clear up all. So much for Mr. STEPHENSON. STEPHENSON and LLOYD, when taken, were a few miles from town on their way to the western country." The intention was very generally entertained of celebrating the triumph of liberality and justice, ob tained in the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, and the passing of the Catholic Relief Bill, by a public dinner, 'in Leeds, and few places in the kingdom are better entitled to enjoy such a festival, for none have fought the battle with more constancy and zeal; but, on more mature con sideration, it has been judged advisable to forego the grati fication, and to enjoy the triumph, great and glorious as it is, without any mark of popular exultation. This deci sion has been greatly promoted by the, reflection that the emancipation, both of the Dissenters and of the Catholics, has always been recommended as a measure of conciliation, and it was judged that any demonstration of this nature would be at variance with those professions, and would tend to keep alive a spirit of hostility, on account of differ ence in religious opinion, which it is high time should for ever cease. The dignified and magnanimous modera tion of the supporters of ernancipatiorain Ireland has been very generally admired in Yorkshire, as well as in every other part of the kingdom, and so noble an example could not fail to have its influence in producing that decision at which the friends of civil and religious liberty have arrived, r•nrh to the satisfactirn of this own minds.—Leeds Aterory.

His Royal liig}mess the Elector of CASSEL ias been pleased to nominate as his Minister of Finances Baron ANSELNI DE ROTHSCHILD, [c son of Baron SOLOMON DE ROTHSCHILD, in doing which his Highness seems to have di rected' his eye to the proper quarter. It would seem by amour ts from Rome that the New Pope is daily becoming more popular. He has already manifested a disposition to exer cise his high power on the most liberal and tolerant principles—being a system of conduct directly opposed to that of his late pre decessor, who deprived Christians as well as Jews of the protection of the Romish Church, in so far as their civil privileges and immunities were concerned, and which they were permitted to enjoy under former Pontiffs. The New Pope has annulled all these privations and prohibitions, and has restored the Hebrews as well as Christians of every denomination to the full enjoyment of all their former privi leges. This liberality on the part of his HOLI NESS was appreciated with due respect and veneration, and gave birth to feelings of the most lively joy among the inhabitants of Rome. We have no doubt that this gracious concession must have been made by the Pope in compliment to the Duke of WELLINGTON'S glorious settle ment of the Catholic Question, the blessed effects of which, both at home and abroad, must daily be more and more felt and appreciated. Hamb(ugh, Brussels, and German Papers, to a late date, have been received this morning. An article from Ancona says, that the Rus sians were on the point of making an at tempt to pass the Dardanelles with their squa dron in the Mediterranean, and that this attempt was connected with a movement of the Russian fleet in the Black Sea—the combined force to attack Constantinople. We pointed out the pro bability of such a movement ten months ago, and at the time that Admiral RICORD pro ceeded to the Mediterranean : Livadia. We learn, by means of a French merchantman, tha. there had been some misunderstandings between the Greek chiefs, to which the Turks were indebted for their tempo rary advantages in Eastern Greece, but that the firmness of the President had restored order, and that the reverses sustained by Ypsilanti's corps had been retrieved. The Turks ate stated to have been totally defeated at the latter end of April near Kaprena, and repulsed to Flockori, close to the Thermopylae. The merit of these fortunate events is ascribed to the brother of the President, to whom the Go vernment of Eastern Greece is entrusted. The organization of the Greek army gradually improves, and the presence of the French contribute greatly to it ; it is now divided into corps, which bear the names of all the provinces. The Albanians and Turks in Thessaly are at variance with each other, and that province suffers severely by the ravages which both co.nmit. Their quarrels,-however, are to the advantage of the Greeks, as it is well known that the Al banians always serve that party to which they are attracted by the offer of bightr pay, or temporary hatred to the other party. It is affirmed that Admiral Heyden has sent some ships to the Asiatic coast; to prevent the Egyptians from land ing troops or corn there. It was even affirmed at Egina, that the Russian squadron had received orders to make an attempt at a certain titne to pass the Dardanelles. It was added, that this attempt was to be cannected with a move ment of the Russian squadron from the Black Sea, and in this manner Constanticople to be attacked by a large naval force. It is recollected that the English formerly forced that passage, and that Admiral Duckworth was re strained from pursuing his advantages only by the appre hension thaS he should not be able to return to the Medi terranean, Thtre would be uo room for such an appre bensign in the case of the Russian fle t," which would be supported by the whole naval force of the Black Sea. VIENNA, APRIL 15. The mail from Constantinople is at length arrived. Metalliques, 98 3-16; Bank Shares, 1,199 i. CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH 26. The Sultan has not yet left the capital, but the prepa rations for his departure continue. The distress arising from the scarcity of provisions has not yet abated, though the Government does its utmost to remedy the evil. The fleet is ready to sail to the Black Sea, or as some say to the White Sea (Sea of Marroora) to engage the Russians. According to the reports of Redschid Pacha to the Sultan he had satisfied the Albanians before his departure, and with the exception o:`ihree chiefs had made new agreements with them. We have nothing cer tain from the theatre of war. Hussein Pacha is collecting all the troops between Choumla and Adrianople. The consequence of the landing of the Russians at Iniada has been, that the Greeks living at the entrance of the Bos phorus have been obliged to leave their villages, and they are now occupied by Turkish troops. The Sultan has applied to the Mosques for a loan, but the Ulemas have not yet come to any decision about it. The apprehen sions caused by the dearness of provisions increase, and have perhaps delayed the departure of the Sultan, meantime all the firmans lately issued prove that lie intends to per severe in the course which he has hitherto followed, and to exert all his efforts to oppose his enemies both foreign and domestic to which famine is now to be added. VIENNA, APRIL 14. The Austrian Observer contains a long article from Greece, including a report of Demetrios Ypsilanti, slated Arachova, relative to the expulsion of the Turks from BRUSSELS, APRIL 23. In the Second Chamber of the States General a royal message was read, accompanying several documents rela tive to the Decennial budget. Among the petitions pre sented was one from forty-five wine merchants at Amster dam, opposing the increAse of the duty on that article, and another from twenty-three proprietors of vineyards in the vicinity of Huy, asking for a reduction of the excise duty on wines, the produce of the kingdom, and at all events deprecating the addition of 30 per cent. to the duty on that article. On the 24th the debate on the law relative to the Press commenced. BERLIN, APRIL 22. Private letters from St. Petersburgh say that, at the time of the catastrophe at Teheran, the lady of the Russian am bassador, with one of tke officers of the legation, was at Tauris, and thus escaped the massacre. The Emperor of RUSSIA is now expected at Warsaw on the Bth of May, and at Berlin by the Ist of June. If his Imperial MAJESTY really means to take the field in person, we do not think he will visit Berlin before his return from the army, unless indeed he has some poli tical matters to settle in which his personal pre sence is indispensable. Accounts from Gibraltar of the 6th inst. state, that a strong southerly wind has driven several vessels on the coast of Spain, where they have been unfortunately lost. A letter from Widdin of the 30th March mentions that a report prevailed there of Admiral GREIG, with the Russian fleet, having suddenly appeared at the mouth of the Bosphorus to blockade Constantinople. That such an evemt will take place we have little doubt, but we do not believe that the Russian fleet was in a con dition to put to sea so soon. An article in the French Papers, received this ;morning, dated Consta►►tinople the 16th March, says that great rejoicings took place in that capital on the 15th, in consequence' of the un- expected arrival of two ships laden with pro visions. These vessels were obliged to enter the port by stress of weather ; and so fervent was the enthusiasm of the Turks for this providential succour, that they considered it as a miracle, caused by the intervention of the Prophet. The Mosques were spontaneously opened in cor►se quence, to return thanks to MAHOMET. Now if this be so, it shows pretty clearly that Con stantinople must have been in an awkward pre dicament for provisions before so much joy would be displayed for the arrival of such a dis proportionate supply as two vessels. The Rus sian blockade seems to work well. THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVR o'CLoca. With the resumption of business at the Stock Exchange to-day there has been no increase of ac tivity, and the appearance of the market is nearly a blank ; indeed, so little fluctuation has of late talieii place, and the occupation of the Brokers is so com pletely done away with, that many are seeking to em ploy their talent in occupations of a different descrip tion, whilst others are either dissolving their partner ships or winding up their accounts. Up to the present hour there has been but one price for Consols, both for money and time, 88 4. India Bonds, 50 2 pm.; Exchequer Bills, 59 60 pm.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE. There was a considerable supply of Oats last week, and moderate quantities of all other Grain. This morning there are few fresh arrivals of any descriptions of Corn. The attendance of country buyers was good, and the weather keeping vegetation in a backward state, induced them to purchase more freely than of late, and the best parcels of Wheat have in consequence obtained rather higher prices, and there has also been rather more doing in other kinds.

Fine samples of Wheat were in request at last Saturday's prices. Grinding Barley is dull sale. Oats are held at Id. per bushel above last week's rates. Boiling Pease are nominal, and Beans barely support the currency of Saturday last. The general depression in the manufacturing trade seriously affects the price of Malt, the consumption being much contracted. Fine fresh-made Flour as last noted, and Oatmeal without alteration.

(From the Observer of yesterday.) . Various rumours hare been afloat during the last week, as to the manner in which it is supposed that Mr. O'Connell will assert his right to sit in Parlia• ment. These rumours are premature—nothing cer t . ; 1 tain is yet determined upon as to the mode in whi t it is his intention to proceed. That he will assert' his right to sit as Member for Clare is a deter Milly tion to which we know lie has come; but whetber he will assert it under the favour or in opposition l° the wishes of Government 'is a point which at thi l moment cannot be satisfactorily or decisively Twenty-thur hours hence something certain en - definite might be atated as to the course which all intends to pursue. Next Sunday our readers 91351 be in po;session of the circumstances which i° l ' pose and justify a discreet forbearance in stall what has come to our knowledge on this su bjeet%. 6 • Meanwhile we subjoin a letter on the subject of tP d - O'Connell testimonial. To this design Irela n d should surely give its support. It has been eer l l e . t by honourable toils—by the devotion of g re ", talents—by super-eminent services—by per severse c t and industry—and by a long course of I meritorious exertions in a cause in which he has a boured hard—laboured manfully—and laboured Or cessfully. We have observed Mr. O'Conne ll ! course and conduct closely since his arrival in th's country. It has been distinguished by great mo de ration and great discretion. We object only to his frequent allusion and complaint against those 01° have abused him ; he should remember that he he s not been very niggard in his own censure of those" , who differed from him. Every unguarded.expres sion of the tongue should not be setsettled down to the,. whit h mpru.rpoo,scenonfneltlhme may have rTeahsiosn benefit for himself, and which he should not be re luctant to extend to others. He has great and transcendant merits to redeem whatever defects He may have, but we wish to see that which we admire' free even from error. Why du not the English Co' tholics subscribe to his testimonial ? It will be most ungrateful in them if they do not subscribe largely, for he has done miracles for them. If s fer, there was a man for whom the Catholics of Engle°, mid Ireland should unite in weaving a never garland of gratitude, O'Connell is that man. 1, i t s o c a lai r hi- We subjoin the following letter with un ic " P • mulerhoet, sure : " Brook's Club-House, April 23, 1829 ' " SIR-I beg to request that you will add 1 name to the list of contributors to the testimonl (/' national gratitude intended, as I understand , to l/. borne to Mr. O'Connell's great services to the country, and for which purpose I enclose a c hat for 1001. 44 " In doing this, I consider I am only doing 11 %, self an honour. It would be absurd in me to ; tempt saying any thing of the merits of the rna" t o whom this tribute is about to be paid. T he nn i°„:, happiness, and prosperity of the Empire, w hich the o cannot now be the shadow of a doubt will pan mo od u i a main degree from his sterling and magnalb— patriotism, will be his best eulogy, and'l cl sure the most genial to his heart. fi d : P t e o r u m r i p t r m e s e e t n o t a u d n d d , e t r h t a a k t i l n t g ru w s i t i , l a b n e d sti indeed ch a feel co e to proms to future ages—for this is now a matter of history ,o' that we were not insensible of Mr. O'Conne ll transcendent work.—l remain, &e.
