FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. • . PARK FEB. 4. (1110.11 TUE gTOILX4 Tuesday Evening.—The sitting of the Chain 7. Der of Peers yesterday was very remarkable. Several Peers spoke in the same •sensgas the Whigs might have done in the House of Peers in England ; and in a 3vlr undertaken against lary insurrection and Lthe sovereignty of the people, and for the freedom of the .King, they .Showed: themselves much more struck with the dangers than with the honour of such an undertaXing.• The Opposition on the left wished:to introduce. into the Address to the King, proposed by the puke de Levis, an amendment to thelame effect as the articles we .have read for the last two or three months In the Constitutionnel and .Pilete upon peace and war. The Minister of .Finance (Vill4le,) and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, took upon themselves all the responsibility of ,the , Speech from the Crown; and both.professed openly " that _France would act as France, and.that she would not lay down her arms till order should be restored in. Spain." The Minister of Finance observed how important it was to France, not only as a point of 'honour, but as a positive interest, that the dynasty -of the Bourbons should not be shaken at Madrid. After the speech pf the Minister of Finance against the amendment,' which depicted war as replete with dangers` to our dearest interests (which is not .true in any Manner), a part of 'the opposition was so impressed with .thiq that they proposed another amendment • the Chamber rejected the amendment, and adopted the address, .by a great majority. The Duke of San Lorenzo received yesterday •from the Gavernment of the Cortes the order to quit Paris immediately with his legation. • An extraordinary courier from Spain arrived -at.

Let us hope that this detestable traffic, so ex tensively carried on in Egypt, which has excited so much disgust in all Britons who have been eye-witnesses of it, will not escape notice, espe cially as the Paella of that country is so warmly attached to Great Britain, and will listen to any proposition in the view of improvetnent. On perusing the work of one traveller who has recently been in that country, we find that 41 the place set ,:apart for this most scaudalous " traffic at Cairo and other places, is a Jorge " court in the form of 'St quadrangle, with a range " of apartments, not unlike what we meet with 11 in the yards of inns in London. In one place " I observed a person bargaining for the pur " chase of a young female, who was stripped of " her rags, turned round, her joints felt, and 44 tongue inspected. a In others I saw wretch " ed creatures of all ages, up to 50 years, had " died together in hovers like cattle !

At this time a poor " naked,helpless child was turned out, and 'could '' not suppress a tear at this incident, and at the " unfeeling conduct of this barbarian, and hur " ried away • from a scene, in which it would " be difficult to determine whether human " nature itself appears in its most guilty or CC abject form. .

On a 44 person entering the market, which is always 44 concluded to be for the purpose of buying these " despised creatures, they are turned out quickly 44 from their dens, ranked up, and exhibited " by their inhuman keeper."—This Gentleman, after referring to other heart-rending circum stances, adds, 41 rs it not mortifying to every sen " timent of charity and civilization, that th e Le " gislature of the most enlightened Nation on " earth has debated for• years whether this " abominable trade in human flesh and blood " should,.or should not, be abandoned, and still " refrains from the adoption of measures of the " most pozccryill and coercive nature, which are so " loudly called for, to tear up Slavery by the " very roots ?"—( Travels in Egypt and ilie Holy Land, by William Rae Wilson, Esq.) • lie that stealth a man and selleth, or if he be found in his hand, shsll surely be put to death. , -„Excet. 21, DI Cyry Bumess.—Yesterd a y the LORD MAyon held a Court of Aldermen for the dispatch of ge neral public business.
