FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, JAN. 13. Yesterday morning, after breakfast, .the King gave private audiences to the Marquis de Perig .non and the Prefect de I'Orne. Several of the Prefects 'had afterwards the honour of taking the oath of allegiance to his Majesty. The fanatical Journals continue to make a great noise about a pretended violation ,of the French territory by the Spanish troops. Now, let us see what this offence, which has called forth such violent' complaints, 'amounts to, ac cording to the statements of all private letters, and the Journals published in the provinces ad joining to that in which it is pretended the viola tion took place. It appears, then, that on the 29th of last month, after an engagement between the. Constitutional troops and the bands of the Faith, in which the latter were defeated, as usual, and fled, part into France, and part to Valcarlos, Assure, at the 'head of 200 men, pre ,sented himself at a village common to both Countries, and demanded guides from the French to point out the road.* There is nothing hostile la this , proceeding; indeed, it seems to indicate a desire to respect the French soil. It was for the local authority to grant or refuse the guides; and in the latter case, if their refusal were dis regarded, to protest against such conduct; but it appears, that in the absence of the Mayor, his deputy made no scruple to furnish the guides who were demanded. Whether this functionary has done right or wrong, it is not convenient to discuss here ; besides, the Prefect has already decided that.point, by suspending him ; all that we wished to do was to thew that Col. Assure has not committed the offence for which he is re , roached by the Quotidienne, the Mode, and the Drapeau Blanc, with a violence and coarseness, of which, fortunately, 'the French Journals af ford few examples. Well, the Spanish troops having performed their march, arrived at Valcarlos, n here they completed the defeat of those enemies whom they had previously routed. It is certain that Capt. Armingol, the assassin of Colonel Cruchaga, was killed in the action. As many as could escape in the confusion fled into France, whither no Attempt was made to pursue thern,—a new proof that the Spanish troops never entertained the design of violating the French territory. (Prom the Constitutionnel.) The moment draws near when the Ministers are to meet the two Chambers. Thanks to the 'unheard of efforts of Ministers, and to the influ ence of the local authorities, the right side of the 'Chamber is reinforced by a number of Deputies, whose ardent minds and warlike opinions are generally. known. There is no doubt that they will have a majority. Such is the situation in which the‘Minister rgill .find himself; it will be necessary for him to choose betwixt peace and war—cruel alternative, for he will fall of himself if he decide on war or desires Au preserve peace. If he deduces for the for mer he will be reproached with not having pro " 'filed by lhe favourable moment for commencing hostilities, when Madrid was convulsed, the 'Spanish army not organized, not crowned with victory, and not intoxicated with enthusiasm and success; when the Army of the Faith occupied Navarre, 'Catalonia, and menaced the interior provinces with a speedy invasion. An account will be required of him of the blood uselessly .shed in the cause of absolute Monarchy ; he will ,be reminded of his hostile language up to the time of the Congress of Verona, and since that time of his forbearance ; his tergiversation, the retreat of M. de Montmorency, and his refusal to sign 'a circular, which he is forced ostensibly to approve. The Minister will not be strong' , enough to resist the blows which the war party I are preparing for him, and it will not even grant him the honour of a capitulation. On the other hand, if he decides openly for .peace, he will be severely blamed for having ex cited the warlike ardour of the party, and of having compromised it in the eyes of France and of Europe ; he will be reminded of his formal :approval of the principles and spirit of conserva tion of the Holy Alliance ; he will be reproached with his practical denial of what he theoreti catty approves ; it will be in vain that he says, —" Can you desire that France should impru dently commence a war which will completely ruin its already languishing commerce? its in dustry visibly declines. With what face can we demand of a people paying a milliard in taxes, still greater amount, whether by direct taxes ,or loan, which dry up the sources of future prosperity ? If the nation was attacked in its honour—its 'independence, such a thing might lie conceived : but to encounter such a risk for the good pleasure of the absolute Govern ments, with our constitutional Government, 'hardly escaped from a bloody contest of thirty years ag ainst all Europe, and having so much 'need oe'reppse and of union, would be a rash , enterprize of which we cannot think of taking the responsibility. However powerful such reasons may be, they cannot satisfy the spirit of party. The Minister will always be told that it is not right to rouse and nourish false hopes; common declamation will be employed, those romantic apostrophes will be renewed to which common sense has already done justice, the phantoms of Carbo narismu will be invoked, and the Ministers, ac .rused and convicted of Jacobinism, will full 'beneath the' acclatnations of a hostile majority. ( From the Journal des Dib-ats:) Prmtsgtinntr, DEC. Conserouteur, a Journal of tliis town., contains the following article 't Russia has now for a long period attracted the attention of foreigners, who have given information to all Europe concern. mg its military and its political relations, but the present mental exertions, the tendency which makes a nation desirous of giving On the 29th of NA month, a detachment of the Constitu tional Army of Spain entered that part of the territory common to both nations which is occupied by many inhabitants of the commune of Aldusks. Tt was commanded by the brother of Colonel Assura, and be took that mute in order to surprise the village of Valcarlos. Ile requested guides to point out the road, and it is impossible to conceive how the deputy, who acted on behalf of the absent Mayor, could have had the weakness to samilesecod to grunt such a request-4 Memorial Marias...), itself an original-intellectual existence, appears hitherto to have I escaped most observers. EXtraordinary events were necessary to enable philosophic writers of other nations to judge if that country, which appeared to them to produce only iron and :Wier:, could also supply its tribute to and claim a place in the republic of letters. Some French writers have endeavoured to naturalize in their own language fragments Of Russian liters:. ture and poetry; if, according to the idea which ought to be formed of all translations, Ahoy have not been able to preserve in the flowers transplanted into their clime, all their beauty of form, and glow of colour, they have at least, in increasing the dominion of science, merited well of the country whose literary riches they have exported, and of that into which they have im ported these riches. The English, struck with the same thing, have embarked in the same enterprize. Last year there appeared in English verse of different species, a Russian Anthology, or choice pieces of the Russian poets, translated by Mr. Bowring, with remarks and biographical notices. It does not belong to us to give any opinion on this attempt. All that lie think ourselves entitled to say is, that in consequence of the greater freedom of the English language, of its metrical, system, and of the reputation which belongs to, English translations of classical Poets, both ancient and modern, the work will give a very precise and just idea of the.present,state'of Russian poetry." SPAIN. MADRID, JAN. 6. The communications to be made to our Govern ment in the name of France and the Congress of Verona have been expected here with a lively anxiety. The public mind was agitated, but no symptom of trouble was manifested. Hostile in tentions towards us, rather than actual hostilities, were expected from the Powers ; and, should war even take place, the confidence of the. Spanish people in the means the country possesses of rendering all the attacks of Europe abortive, con tributed much to the calm and tranquillity which continued to reign In the midst of the sort of crisis in which we are placed. On the . sth, the French Ambassador delivered to our Government the copy of the instructions of the French Minis ter, This Note produced litth sensation. The Notes of the Russian, Prussian, and Austrian Ministers were delivered on the 6th. A report was at first spread that the Russian Note was less moderate than those of the other Powers; but it was soon learned that the notes were common to the three Cabinets. The Spanish Ministers have referred the Notes of France and the three Powers to the Council of State, in order to have the opinion of that body on the answers to be given to these Notes— answers which will be well considered, and will give a fresh proof of the excellentspirit which ani mates the men now at the head of affairs in Spain. it appears that the Council of State is to join to itself a certain number of the Deputies of the Cortes taken from the parties who exhibit the different shades of opinion remarked in that as sembly. The attitude of the Ministry and of the Cortes creates in the people of Spain a feeling of confidence and security, which does equal honour to the Ministers and to the Congress as to the national character. Every one is perfectly satisfied that the replies of the Cabinet of Madri d will be so framed as to preserve uninfringed the dignity of Spain, at the same time that they will, by their moderation, remove all pretext for hos tilities, which Spaniards will always be ready to repel, but which they are far from meaning to provoke. The Espectador, which is the journal of the Ministry, makes the. following observations on the Note delivered by the Count Lagarde to our Government : " We shall abstain from the long comments to which so remarkable a document might give rise. Judicious readers will find in it matter for profound reflection ; and those who interest themselves in the fate of Spain, ,Will there see clearly traced the course which existing circumstances prescribe to her. " In fine, the veil which caused so much uncertainty is torn ; the cloud which enveloped all politicians in its shadows is dissipated ; the oracles have spoken, and we now know that the French Government is determined not to declare war against us for the present. A declaration of war against Spain is not Indeed an affair of so little importance that it may be lightly decided on, and the reflections which present themselves as to the result of a contest which could not fail to prove fatal to those who would provoke it, are neither superfluous nor inop. portune. This accounts for the passion of the Duke of Mont. morency being overcome, when it came in contadt with the priulent sagacity of M. tie Villele. " The note transmitted to the Count Lagarde reveals the past, fixes the present, and opens a prospect of the future.— We must repeat, that under these three points of view, it is very remarkable. The, manner in which it describes the re establishment of the Constitution—the transition which is made from that memorable wient to the movements of the Royal Guard—the insurrection of the frontier provinces —the might of the French Government to maintain an army of observation —the resolutions of the Congress of Verona—the assistance offered us in one case, and what is held out to us in a different l ease, are so many points which merit a very circumstantial analysis, into which we shall not at present enter. " For ourselves, we are confident that the Government, which watches Oyer the national felicity and bonour, will make on this document those observations which it is so naturally calculated to excite in men who act *ith equity and rectitude, anti who stand on the firMness of their sentiments and their principles." The Municipality has addressed a fresh repre sentation respecting the authors of the conspiracy of the 7th of July, and their accomplices. In 'this writing they municipality recites the measures which it has taken to forward the course of jus tice against these individuals ; and it also re minds his Majesty, that it was only upon receiv ing a formal promise that the traitors should be punished, that the militia consented to separate and retire to their homes on the 12th of July.-- The address conclUdes with a prayer that the King will command the proceedings which have been commenced against the conspirators of the month of July to be conducted with activity. A representation of a similar purport was made by the Landaburian Society on the 5111, upon the motion of General Itiego, who said the rigour of justice ought not only to visit those individuals who have been placed under arrest, but also those whci have hitherto escaped all molestation. The regiment-of the ca►alry of Almanza, which conducted itself so gloriously on.the 7th of July ? has departed frQm Madrid. On the day pre lieu* to its departure it was reviewed in the square of Recollets. After the review the sol diers demanded with loud cries to be led to the square of the *Constitution. Having arrived there, they surrounded the stone of the Consti tution, and renewed their oaths to die in defence of their country, and the laws which they enjoy under the Constitution. The air resounded with cries of " The Nation ! the Constitution ! the National Congress, and the heroic people of Madrid! the Constitution or death !" Our journals continue to be filled with relit-, tions of the operations of the constitutional forces dispatched in pursuit of the factious. The troops of Gnerals Torrijos and Mina have been parti cularly mentioned as having made the enemies of the Constitution suffer considerable losses. The latter are pursued in all directions, and are not permitted to have a moment of repose in any place. A. curate and two other leaders of rebel lious bands have been arrested in Biscay. The constitutional troops exhibit the same activity in Arragon. The fortress of Mequinenza is closely blockaded; The measures for enforcing the levy which has been decreed by the Cortes are conducted every where with regularity, and, in many of the pro. vinces, with enthusiasm. Eight hundred recruits have set out from Madrid to join the army.-- Similar detachments are on their march in all the provinces for the same destination. They sing patriotic songs, in passing through towns. A letter from Bayonne, dated the 7th, gives the following details on the result of General O'Donnel's expedition : " The attempt of General O'Donnel in Navarre has had-the consequences which we expected. On the'3oth of last month that General was violently insulted at Estella by his own sol diers, who were worn out with the marches and countermarches he made them perform. The Commandant Jaunito had an in terview with him; and represented to him the discontent of the men, and their wish to risk a battle with the Constitutionalists O'Donnel showed his instructions, by which he was directed to confine himself to harrissing and fatiguing the enemy. 'When Jaunito repeated this answer to the soldiers, they loudly tes tified their disapprobation ; and O'Donnel, whose health was considerably injured, apprehending that the minds of his fol lowers would become still further exasperated, resolved to give up the command, and to return to France, by the way of St. Jean Pied-de-Port, a l o ng with some of his o ffi c e r s. I t is said that he arrived at Bayonne yesterday, but this we cannot con firm ; we only know that there have arrived at the St. Esprit 24 cavaliers of the Faith, who, it is said, served him for his escort. We know not who will be his successor, nor whether he will have one. The accounts from Navarre announce, that the Position of the armies is such, that we every moment expect to hear of the complete defection of the troops of the Faith, concentrated as they are in the mountains, and completely surrounded by the Constitutionalism On the 2d, 120 of Jratinito's soldiers pre. sented themselves to the Alenlde of Alegrin, to claim the armi stice which was granted to them. " A commercial house of this town has been commissioned by another of 'Vittoria, to negotiate with the agents of.the Faith for the ransom of six individuals, Who were taken as hostages and carried into the mountains. The demand made is 12,000 piastres, and the half of that sum has been offered. In conse quence of the want of money, there is little hope of these un fortunate captives recovering their liberty. They belong to the commune of Ciego, in Rioja. This is not the first time that our town has been made the theatre of such a shameful traffic." MELANCHOLY SUlClOE.—Yesterday forenoon, about half-past twelve o'clock, a foreign Gentle man, lately arrived in this country, put a period to his existence, at his lodgings in Burton-cres cent, Somers Town, under the following dis tressing circumstances :—ltapeared that the un fortunate Gentleman was formerly living in the most affluent circumstances in France, but becoming embarrassed, he was led to this country in the hope of improving his situation, and for some time past he obtained a livelihood by his tuition in various languages. He was fre quently heard to complain of his wants,and latter ly his mind seemed to be worn down to a most pitiable state of melancholy, in which mood he retired to his chamber on Tuesday night last at his usual hour ; but the following morning, re maining in his bed-room longer than he was accus tomed to do, the servant was induced to proceed to the apartment to examine the cause, when she found the door fastened on the inside. She made an alarm, and her master and mistress instantly went up stairs, and, on forcing open the door, they beheld the deceased suspended by his neck kerchief from the bed post. He was cut down, and Mr. Chabot, a surgeon was sent for but on his arrival life‘was perfectly extinct. The de ceased was about 45 years of age, and a fine look ing man. The body now lies at the King's Arms Tavern, Burton-crescent, for the Coroner's In quest. - INTERMENT OF A LAscaa.--The butial-rites of a Lascar took place yesterday morning in Briton's burial-ground, Church-lane, Whitechapel, in the presence, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, of an immense'concourse of spectators. —The remains of the deceased, (a man) were wrapped up in a sheet, and deposited in a plain wooden shell, painted black, which was carried with the lid loose upon it, in a blanket;by four of his countrymen, and followed close in the rear by several others from the Lascar barracks, Can non-street-road, St. George's in the East, to the place of intermedt, where it arrived about eleven o'clock. On approaching the grave, which was about five feet deep, they laid down the coffin, and having formed themselves in a circle round it, took off the lid, uncovered the corpse, and having sprinkled several handfuls of fine earth over its face, replaced the lid, and fastened it down by means of three common nails ; they then took the blanket from about the coffin, and let the latter gently into the grave, which they instantly commenced filling with the clay, some by means of shovels, and others with their hands, for they would not allow a grave digger to take any part in the transaction. The grave being filled up, they sprinkled water over it from an earthen vessel, and burying a shovel at the feet of the corpse, they spilled down by it what remained of the water. A handkerchief was then spread at the bead of the grave, and on that was placed a paper containing about half a pound of moist sugar, and several apples cut into square pieces ; and over this they all stood muttering some words, as if by way of prayer, and thus the ceremony ended without the attend ance of a Clergyman of any persuasion what ever. They sit up in turn, two at a time, provid ed with lights and implements of defence, for 'several nights. • COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. WEST INDIA INTERCOURSE ACT.

It having been represented to the Lends of the Committee of Pkvy Council for Trade, that the object contemplated by the Weit India Intercourse Act of last Session, cap. 44. has in a great measure been defeated, partly in consequence of the con struction put upon it in some of the islands, so far as respect' the bonds to be entered into by parties exporting the articles enumerated in the Act, and partly from the effect of requiring the bonds at all ; I am directed to transmit you the copy of a letter from the Agent of Jamaica on the subject, and to acquaint you, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of His Majesty's Treasury, that the.

JAGO DE CUBA. (EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER, DATED NOV. 1.) " After an absence of fifty-two days from this Nit, returned here the sloop of war Maria Francisca, with an American brig transporting the troops of Coro, 'and a number of officers from Terra Firma. These report that they had been in sight of. Porto Rico, but they could not proceed from want of water. This Government has chartered a good French brig to transport thither the officers and troops, and it is said they will sail this week under convoy of the sloop. " The American sloop Luciana, from Porto Rico, in a short passage arrived here yesterday, with several foreigners and Spaniards on board, of respectable character, who assure us that General Calzado, second to Morales, had sailed a few days be fore from Porto Rico with several transports, conducting 400 men, which had been collected in that island, who under con voy of the privateer Flechera, safely landed at Porto Cabello, which place they found safe, and occupied the Fort de la Vigia tiately held by the rebels). They also assert, that the whole of the interior of the province of Car-4cm.; is in a great ferment— cries every where of Viva la Espana,' in favour of which was a very large party waiting for a propitious event to declare them selves. The Occupation of :Maracaibo by Morales has been the cause that the whole of Terra Firma has set itself in motion in favour of Old Spain. " The frigate Ligera, with her Commander, Laborde, is in port at Curagoa, where came in sight . five schooners dir ec ti ng their course to that point. Thi s b rave ' Commander presented himself immediately to the Governor, and asked permission to set sail and reconnoitre, but was positively refused ; but as he made the most energetic protestations in the name of the Spanish nation, he was at last permitted to sail, which was immediately effected, and coming up with the five schooners, he beat them completely, took three out of five, and conducted them in triumph to Porto Cabello. " He found on board of them four thousand muskets and a large quantity of ammunition, with some gentry, calling them selves Governors, Intendants, &c. The two schooners which escaped entered Caraceas. The Governor of .the island had them scrupulously searched, and there being found many in struments of war, ammunition, and a quantity of papers, he arrested the people, l and sequestered the ships until furthe r orders from (overnment. We owe the security of this Isle to Morales, Laborde, and Calzado, who are indefatigable to pro. test us in our tranquillity." V.
