FOR THE SUN. FOREIGN aNTELLIGENCE. anent TUE JoultrlAL DE 'paRIO PARIS, JAN.Q~.---- A Messenger has arrived at the •English Embassy at Paris, which left Midrid on the evening of the •16th.—The departure of the three Ambassadors had made little-sensation, M. Lagarde was still,at Madrid. The greatest union prevail ed amon g all .parties in the Cortes,lo•resist,Cin case. of war, the efforts of foreigners. In the Sitting of the 16th a Deputy made a motion to grant a general amnesty for political offences, including even the accused of the affair of July 7. The Russian Minister to , the Court of Spain arrived at Paris from Madrid yesterday evening . (the 25th). (FROM. TUT. DRAPEAU BLANC.I. It is positively said that the Minister of the Marine goes to the King's ilouselield, and that M. Hyde de Neuville becomes `Minister of Marine. M. de Lauriston goes as Major General to the Army of the .Pyrenees. (FROM TOE JOURNAL DETDEBATIO At present they are employed at the different corps of the' Garde=Reyak in completing . the de tachments Which - are to join the Army of Obser vation. 'lt wottld be difficult to paint the enthu. 8148 m with which the soldiers are animated. The. -military spirit whith-a long peace seemed to have made dormant, has awakened among the French . with an incredible ardour at the mere report of - war. In all the regiments the soldiers crowd • round their officers to •.demand as st favour, the honour of .fighting • and conquering under 'the •white flag. 'At the. moment of receiving their • discharges which they 'had solicited themselves, they offer to re-engage for six, eight,oriten years, • if, they will allow them toibe of the number of • those who are tomarCh to the frontier. Twos' Sergeant-Majors on the point of •being,promoted to the rank of Adjutants, went and solicited their Colonet•to grant this favourtolwa•of their col leagues, worn out. by long campaigns, and thus to grant them the chance of once inore4iraving danger, and seeking glory. It would take up too much space to recount every trait of this species, which the present' circumstances .have' given rise to in the -Royal Guards, as well as in. the troops of the line. The honour of France iStintouched. Assoon as it is supposed that a gun will be fired, officers, skildiers, all are guided by the same sentiment— the desire of gathering new laurels. • his not yet kiiown with certainty What , Gee rierals will he employed with the•army. The persons pointed out as Generals of Artillery and of Engineers, are already advantageously known in Spain by memorable services. The genius 'of the'French iShere.visible. The clouds which obscured the political horizon begin -to dissipate. Certainly, 'France disarmed had riothing to fear from the menaces of the Londe burians„ armed what has shelo dread ? Thus, confidence 'restored, and to-day the ,public • Funds have got up. (FROM THE CONSTITISTIONNEt.) The -Journal des Ditbais announces the Mi. risterial • changes which have taken , place at ;Loodon, and which consolidates the influence end the policy of Mr. Canning, but it is silent concerning the inevitable consequences of .this event. The. system of Mr. Canning tends to preterve the peace of Europe, in. order to.oppose an efficacious resistance to the ex.cessive aggran dizement of Russia. This important news has created so 'lively a sensation at 'Paris, that the J.'unds even have risen considerably. It is gene rally thought that the new s ystem of ,policy curs , ed by the Cabinet of St. dames will'have some influence on that of the Continental Powers. it Cannot be doubted that an 'intimate connec trop Via& bean recently established between Eng agni' Spain. The arrival of Lord Somerset et tVitdrid, ass AttlbaSktdOr,- at the time when the Mlniaters of The Holy Alliance were qtiitting That ..40tal, is an incontestible proof of this. It has also been observed, whatever prepare flaps have been made,. that the French Ministry 111111 not yet Made airy positive declaration of its ulterior views; that the Duke of San Lorenzo `bed neither demanded nor received his passports; :•ltlitit representative df 'Austria remained at ; thet'the situation of the 'King of Spain and of his family .was not made worse. Accord itigto altthese considerations it is thought that ' AIM* is not yet so closely allied with ,Russia 'as tti follow itspolic,y and expose to the hazards ;of war its interests, Its repose, and its prosperity. Vhree thousand men of the northern garrisons are expected 'at "Paris - to supply the place of „those,regiments of the Guards which are to (win open of the Army of Observation.

'EDITOR—I shall be much obliged . to any of your Clerical friends who will it me how it happens that, in Our Church Calendar, innocents' Day occurs before the Epiphany, when it is quite clear that the Epiphany celebrates the adoration and .offerings of the Wise Men to our Saviour, and that the massacre of the Innocents took place ufterzcards, in consequence of the Wise Men not returning lo.acquaint llerod with the place where they had found the infant Christi—Such anachronism appears the more strange, as the Gospels for the above days are each taken from the 2d chapter of St. Matthew — 'the first twelve verses being selected for the Epiphany (6 January), and the succeeding six verses for innocents' Day. (28th December). itiVESTIGA TOR. Surrey square, nth Jan. 1823. IRELA.ND. DUBLIN, SAN. 24.---Yesterday being the first day of Term, the Court opened with the usual forms. After the Grand jury were sworn, Mr. OoQLD rose to move for a Conditional order for a cri minal information, at the. prosecution of the Attorney.Ueneral, against Thomas Hamilton, of Roscrea. The grounds for grant ing this information would be .found in a letter, dated the 3d of January,lB23. Mr. Vivid then read the affidavit_ of the Attorney-General, in which he,deposes to the receipt of the,fol lowing letter, the hand-writing of which was proved by Mr. Alderman Darley s Roscrea, January 3, 1823. " SlR—The last number of - The Evening Post reports that ' yon applied the following words to the Oraugemen.:—‘ Un intimidated by that gang which have formed themselves to beard the King's Government—to overturn the laws of the country—and even to insult and outrage the very person of the Kin& Representative in Ireland.'—As an Orangeman I feel myself hound to say, that ,If you uttered such words, they are false as Hell—nor would you dare to use them to any indiiidual of that body. Would you venture to apply such language to Lord O'Neill, Lord Enniskillen , or General Archtlall ? And, because I am the son of an Orangeman, who has distingulithed himself by his attachment to the fixed principles of' the Constitution, you have done me all the harm in .your power.; and have prevented me from ob taining a situation, to which my high recommendation and my acknowledged competence entitled me, and have thus perhaps destroyed my prospects in life ; and you have , also made Dr. Magee my fathertsenemy.

Mr. SEALY TOWNIIIED applied to-the Court, that the flit venters against whom the Attorney-General had tiled ex-officio informations for a riot in the Theatre, should be called to ap pear on their recognizance, when Mr. Forbes and all the tra verser, appeared by their Attorney, minich right was opposed by 34. Townsend, for the prosecution, who argued that the rule required them to appear personally. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MALIN, JAW. 25. EX..OFFI CIO INFORMAPIONS. The Attorney-General entered the .Court of King's Bench yesterday, about the hour of twelve o'clock, (a full Court being sitting at the time), whilst Mr. Saurin was addressing some law.erguments to the Court. The ATTORNEY.OENIERAL.—Vour Lordships are ap. ' prised that criminal informations have been put on the file of this Honourable Court against certain persons, some of whom, I understand, have yesterday mitered an appearance by attorney. I was not in Court yesterday, my Lords ; hail I been, aware of this proceeding, I certainly would have been here. —Some of those persons were bound in recognizance*, by which they were required to appear in this Court, to answer to criminal Informations to be filed against them; miters hail been in custody, and on their applicatWl 1 0 be disc h arged, they wets admitted . tobail'on condititin of their appearing to plead to criminal informations to be filed against them in, this Court. Those informations have since been tiled, and no tice of which has been served on the parties. With respect to those persons, my Lord, it is my opinion .that the principal and securities should be severally called. 'rho Cowry then gave directions that James Forbes, Matthew Handwich, henry Ilandwich, George Graham, WIT 4 Brownlow, Win. Graham„ and their respective sureties, should be called ; but they did not appear. The ATTORYEY.GENERAL.—i understand, my Lords, that an application for postponement has been made to this Court. 'I don't knew whether your Lordships should deem it necessary for me to trouble you with any observations on the subject of that application. The CHIEF JuaTicg.—lf your intention be to oppose the application, it is unnecessary, as the fintli Act of the late King, chap. 4, is quite conclusiveon the subject. In country cases, where postponement may be reasonably required,, it is allowed in the King's Bench in England to intim' to the last day of Term; hut the, practice in Ireland is essenttally different—here but four days are allowed to the parties to come into Court end plead ; the more particularly in a town case, where all the parties are on thespot. The present application does not rest on any par. ticular merits. The parties are ,charged with the same, or similar offences—they have not been taken by surprise—they were aware several weeks ago, that proceedings would be insti. tuted against them ; and ilk -the application is not grounded on ariy particular merits, the Court 1 . ) bound to refuse it. It was ultimately agreed on by Counsel, that the appearances of all 'the traversers who had even in bail should be taken down as of " yesterday," i. c. the first sitting day of term. The AT Tattn i:v-GEwEllaL.—My Lords, I think it is quite right to inform the [reversers, that as soon as four days, front the date of the appearances entered, as of yesterday, shall have expired, it will become my duty to apple to your. Lordshilei, that you may be pleased to fix as early a day AS possible for trying the accused parties at the bar of this Ct' mrt. The At torney-rieneralaod Solicitor. General then bowed and retired. 'rho Court was very much crowded. It is generally supposed that the trials will take place imme diately. • COURSE OF EXCHANGE, J4uuary 98.

JERSEY. TOVA L COURT, TUESDAY, JAN. 14. THE RING V. THOMAS DUMARESti, AND PkTEIt COUTAN. I,',AUX, ALIAS . FRANCIS FCYRE. The GRANDE ENQUETE assembled to-day, to decide on the guilt or innocence of Messrs. Durnaresq and Contannaux, who were brougl it into Court at 10 o'clock, es ortecl by the customary guards. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL read the accusation' against the prisoners, the principal counts' of which ware, " that since they had entered into partnership with Messrs. Joshua Lerrier, and John Wm. Duke, in October,lo2o, they had been guilty of the crimes of forgery, robbery, swindling, and breach of confidence, in the following manner, viz. that Th. Dumaresq had drawn, in fictitious names, several bills of ex change, far considerable sums, to the order of Peter Coutaneaux or others ; and that the said Coutannaux hail.sold, or disposed of, the said bills at the bank of" Lerrier Dumaresq, and Co." know. .ing them to be fal4e,to the great prejudice of the aforesaid Messrs. Lerrier and Dupre. The prisoners persisting in their decla. ration of innocence, the depositions of the witnesses, and other documents were read .; from which it appeared, that Dumaresq ,and Coutanoux had written letters to which they forged the signature of Mr. John Poingdestre, with the view of deceiving Messrs. Lerrier and Dupre ; and that they had made alterations in others with the same view. That they had counterfeited, under fictitious names, several bills of exchange to a'large amount, which' they had discosnted at the bank of Messrs. Lerrier and Co. ;,that many bills entered in the books of the said bank, as having been drawh on Mr. Poingdestre of London, for 40/, 45/., ancl , 6ol. sterling each, had in reality been changed by Dumaresq into 4001., 41101., and 6001. sterling each; and that in forging the signatures of " Ph. Duval" and "John Coutanche," they, had fiather defrauded the said bank of 2,0001. sterling. The Lieutenant Bailiff, M. MARETT, having, after besting the evidence, recapitulated in a precise and luminous manner the whole of the proceedings, the I:lnquete were about to re tire when Mr. AN LEY begged to offer a few remarks, which, in substance, were as follow. That another franti, not mentioned in accusation, was attributed to the prisoners, by which it ap pears that they hadswindled Mr. Lerrier out:of 0,0001. sterling, before the establishment of the Bank of Messrs. Lerrier, Duran. resq, and Co. ; this was the affair of the copper, well known in the island. It appeared also, that notwithstanding the sums and effects recovered by the activity of Aleasra. Ddhamel, God fray, and Dupre, Mr. Lerrier had sustained a loscof upwards of 10,0001. sterling, that Mr. Dupre bad given a sum of 3,0001. sterling to assist to pay the creditors.; that the latter had lost 3,0001. sterling.; and that if Mr. Dupre had deposited 2,000/. sterling on the establishment of the llanit, the total of the loss sustained amountetl.to 10,0001. sterling. At a quarter past ten o'clock the linq . nete retired, and after twenty minutes consultation, returned into Court.; when the prisoners at the bar, Thomas Dumaresq, and Peter Contort eaux alias Francis Pere were declared to .br " mere guilty than innocent of the crimes laid to their charge." After sonic further remarks from Ileum llastatown, the Couteur, and the ATTORNEY-Ci t.N ERAG, the Court proceeded to pass sentence, which was, that the prisoners, 'rhos. Dumaresq and Peter Coutansaox alias Francis Peyxe, should he deli vered into the hands of the public executioner,. to be exposed in the pillory on the Royal _Square, two successwe Saturdays, from twelve till one o'clock, that on the second Saturday they are to be flogged by the hands of the said executioner ' in the ; customary manner, and then banished for ever from the Island. On Saturday lust, the .I.lith•inst. Th. ihmaresq and Pdsr Coulancau.v were exposed in the pillory on the Royal Square, pursuant to the sentenceof the Court, pronounced against them un 'l'uesday, the 11th instant. The Square xvos excessively crowded, as well as the windows and roofi of the surrounding houses, and from twelve till one in the afternoon., the un happy criminals were exposed to an incessant shower of snow-balls, the severity of which appeared to be directed principally against Coutannaux, who, we understand, has suffered dreadfully in consequence. His mouth, and ears, and checks, were, severely, lacerated—some of the. snow . balls being so hard that they rebounded violently front the pillory. His etes were blackened, and a severe blow which he received in the 'groin; occasioned a temporary strangunry, which continued until eleven o'clock at night. We understand that he became delirious from the severity of his punishment. From the LONDON GAZETTE, Jan es. RA.NKRUPTC/ES SUPERSEDED. S. Douglas and D. /thesell, Fleet-street, drapers.; and J.

[FROM A CORRESPONDENT.] STOCK EXC 11A NG E, MY:past Twelve &Clock.- The Expresses u ere in early this morning, and was soon known that the French Funds had fallen. They have brought Monday's prices at 781. 15e. and Spanish Bonds 41., in consequence of which Consols opened at 78k, and Spanish Bonds at 44, but fell to 404-4(4-40:. The general opinion prevails that the outlines of the French Speech was known at Paris on Monday afternoon, and that it was not so favourable as was first expected. Great exertions are still continued to reinforce the Army of Observation. A great deal of business has been done this morning, and there were some good buyers. A report prevailed ' that a New Spanish Loan had been taken by a Spanish house in the City, but on further en quiries we cannot trace it to any authentic source. Expresses are coming in from , Parls almost every hour, but no positive information can as yet be obtained in regard to the French Speech. Con sole are , up to this hoar 761. To•morrow we shall he able to lay before our Readers a copy of the King of FRANCE'S Speech. On the eve or receiving a document which the present circumstances of Europe render of so much importance, we venture to pronounce, that it will not put an end to the anxiety and incer. titude of the public mind on the subject of Peace or War. It will be found to express dissatisfac tion with the political condition of Spain, to declare that it is necessary for France to continue her treasures of precaution, and to hold out vague threats of ulterior proceedings, if the state of things in Spain should remain unaltered ; but we believe that it will not explicitly announce whe ther France is to go to war or is to remain at peace. In this respect, there will not be much difference between the Royal Speech and the Note of M. de VILLELE, or the ambiguous Articles of the Journal des Debuts. The very continuance of so much ambiguity, however, during so long a period, and especially after Spain has declared that she is determined not to alter her institutions, is sufficient evidence that the expected resolution of the French Go. vernment,' in favour of war, is very doubtful. It is improbable that France will be furnished 1 with any new motive for hostilities. On the contrary, delay, by enabling Spain to increase lu preparations for defence, and to strengthen herself both at home and abroad, must, by lessen ing the chances of successful attack,render the pre jest of passing the Pyrennees more and more impo -1 litic and dangerous. If the French Government, therefore, were really determined on the invasion of Spain, it would declare war immediately. It has much to lose and nothing to gain by procras. tination. It is true, that the KING'S Speech will declare that there is a necessity for increasing the army ; and that the Chambers will be asked for the requisite supplies. If the supplies should be with. held, there is an end,of course,to all speculation on the danger of war, with the obstruction which the decision of the Chambers would present to the military preparations of F rance . Th ere can be little doubt, however, that the supplies will be granted, though not without formidable opposi tion. Hut even it the Army of Observation should be swelled to twice its present force, it is so obvious that that krmy has hitherto been used, and that it may contioue to be used, merely as an engina of intimidation to the Spanish Consti. tutionalists, and as an encouragement to dr Spanish insurgents, that the augmentation of-it rei numbers is by no means a conclusive pr oof of thi approach of hostilities.
