FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. `PARIS PAPERS Or TUESDAY. These Papers state, in most positive terms, that a telegraphic dispatch has brought intelli gence to Paris of the army of the Duke - D'A.Nuourtnic being in full march on the Ebro. They assert, that on Sunday morning, at five o'clock, mass was celebrated along the whole line, and that immediately after the army was in motion, and the passage of the Bidassoa was effected the same. day.. The Journal des Daas, however, states, that the army did net cross the Bidassoa till Mon -day, the 7th. The same paper contradicts the report which had been published in the French Journals of the preceding day, of the Duke de 13elluno's return to Paris. The journal des &bats states, that the Marshal was to cross the Bidaasoa, in order to assist the entry of the French troops into Spain ; then to re-enter France, in order to inspect the corps collected at Perpignan ; then to return to Purls, to resume the portfolio of the "War-office; but'that he would not return before a fortnight or three weeks. The same paper contains the Order of the Day, issued by the Duke d'ArquouLtsiE on the 3d of April. It is as follows : " APIY OF THI] PYRENEES. 44 la!tD 1:41. O% TILE DAY.. Sommits—The confidence of the King has placed me at your head in order to fulfil the noblest of missions. It Is not the spirit of conquest which has made us take up arms—a more generous motive animates us : we are going to replace a King on his throne, to reconcile his people with him, and to re-esta blish in a neighbouring country, which is a prey to anarchy, the order necessary to the happiness and safety of the two king doms. " Soldiers—You will respect, and cause to be respected, re.. ligion, laws, and property; and you will render easy the accom plishment of the duty which is imposed on me—of maintaining the most rigid discipline. " Head-quarters, Bayonne, April 3. "LOUIS ANTOINE. (Countersigned by) " Count GUILLEMINOT." The Constitution rid and Courier Froncais of 'Tuesday contain Spanish news up to the Ist of April inclusive. The following are extracts : ( From the Courier Francais. ) ". We have received the Spanish Journals of the 30th and 31st of March ; they contain some reports of' Generals Mine and Eallasteros, who are following up their successes against the enemies of the Constitution. The King set off from Valdepegnas, on the 26th in the morning, and arrived the same day at El Viso, where he lodged in the ancient palace of the Marquis 'tie Santa Cruz, which was prepared for his reception. Every where the inhabitants displayed the warmest enthusiasm for the Constitution. The King Was to continue his journey on the 27th, and to sleep at Carolina. Thus the passage of the Sierra Morena is achieved, and the King has entered Andalusia. The Espeetador of the 31st announces that it has published its last number at Madrid, and that its next number will he dated Seville. The most perfect tranquil lity prevails at Madrid. The Count d'Abisbal has published a dispatch, announcing that a column of the troops of Bessieres has been completely defeated." " The Consatutionnel states, from a Spanish paper of April 1, that the King was to have slept the preceding evening at Baylem. The journey benefits his health and that of the -Queen. Their Majesties were greatly affected with the marks of attachment which were every where shown them on their road. Every where they passed through the midst of patriotic acclamations." rmi the French papers, with the exception of the Moniteur publish the proclamation of the Duke d'Angoulente, which ap pe.ared in The Sun yesterday. The Journal des IJebats states that it is printed both in French and Spanish]. PARIS PAPERS OF MONDAY. [FURTHER EXTRACTS.] f From the Quoadierine4 PARIS, APRII. 7.—The King announced yes. terday, before Mass, that the French army was to pass the Bidassoa that day. It is added, that the actual intelligence of that event reached Paris in the course of the day, by the new line of telegraphs established on the line of Bayonne and Bordeaux. M. de Luslgnun, Aide-de-Camp of his Excel lency the Duke de Belluno, arrived on Saturday 'in Paris. ills Excellency the Duke of Belluno,Minister of War, arrived yesterday (Sunday) in Paris, at half-past four o'clock, with General Cdetlosquet. Letters from Perpignan of the 29th March state, that General La Roche Airnou has taken the command of one of the brigades of the 4th Corps, and that General Dotmadieu, who was to command a division of the Army, was expected every moment. Baron d'Eroles, who has moved his head-quarters to St. Esteve, will have under him nearly 10,000 Catalonians. 1 t was rumoured on the frontier of Catalonia, that Ferdinand had been liberated. This report, which, unfortunately, was not true, was received and propagated with en enthusiasm which belied all that the Revolu tionists on both sides of the Pyrenees have cir culated respecting the spirit of the Spanish qation. tFrom the Gaxette de Prance.] Upon his arrival at Bayonne his Excellency the Marshal Duke tie Bynum) ascertained the utter falsehood of all the malevolent reports which had been circulated respecting the situa tion of the army. Ills Excellency found every thing in so satisfactory a state, and the troops animated with so good a disposition, that he judged it unnecessary to remain any longer with the army, and that it was of much more import• ance for the interests of the State that he should return and resue the portefeuille of Minister of War. His Exce m llency is expected every moment at Paris. A distinguished personage who quitted Madrid on the 29th of March, in the evening, and who arrived vesterday oa t ` aris, states, that from the capital of Spain t es French frontiers, he did not see a single corps of Constitutional troops capable of opposing any resistance ; but that, on the contrary, he had encountered numerous Royalist Guerillas. The general appearance of the country and the temper of the public mind convinced hint that the French army would not encounter any obstacle. The same individual was of opinion that Bessieres, with his force alone, would obtain possession of Madrid, and that at the present moment the Spanish capital was probably in his hands. [From the Constitutionncl.] NUREMBERG, MARCIL 31.—1 t is confirmed that Constantinople has been set on fire, and it is said that the num. ber of houses burnt down amounts to between 30 and 40,000. The greatest mischief is the destruction of the arsenal, be cause the Porte is deprived of every means necessary to fit out naval armaments. FRIBOURG (SIVITZFAILAND), MARCH 30.—For many years Father Girard has devoted himself with the greatest success to the business of education, and to him Fribourg is in debted for primary schools, and the handsomest building in the city constructed for their service. Ilia 'zeal and his talents are acknowledged oven by his enemies. At the epoch of tbe re-establishment of the order of Jesuits in Fribourg, they pro cured the destitatiop of most of the Professors_of the College, who were natives of the Canton, and their places were sup plied by strangers. Girard was then menaced with destitution. He demanded his dismission to preserve tlie peace of the city, but it was so warmly opposed by his fellow-citizens, that the Jesuits and their partisans postponed 'their attempts against Girard till a more suitable opportunity. This virtuous Pre late only replied t6:thee.caluninies of his enemies by redoubling his zeal. At length his enemies, thinking they had obtained a majority in the Council, presented a petition against him, signed by the Bishop, censuring the religious instruction com municated by M. 0 irard, and demanding his dismission. A part of the Council was astonished, but a majority determined that the petition shuld be taken into consideration. As,soon as this was known great discontent took place in the city. On the night of the Bth and 9th a multitinie assembled, crying— " Down with the Jesuits"—" Success to Girard ;" and they attempted to force open the gates, and break the windows of the College. The guard was called out to disperse the multi tude ; but the members shewed themselves not disposed to act against their fellow-citizens in behalf of the Jesuits. Five per sons were, however, arrested, sent to the Criminal Court, but afterwards set at liberty. M. Girard, attacked in his honour, demanded that the' facts should be inquired into by public examinations. This demand was complied with, and the examination entered into, in the presence of the Members of the Council of State, of the Coun cil for Education, and the principal clergy of the city. The re sult was such as the parents of M. (lirard's pupils could wish, and highly honourable to this Gentleman. here the matter rests at present. The irritation has not yet subsided. Since the Jesuits have re-appeared on the scene they have done no. thing to merit public confidence; on the contrary they show themselves impatient to domineer, and every where betray their troublesome genius. GEN EvA, MA acts 31.—0 n Friday last tumultuous scenes interrupted the sermon of a Missionary who officiated at the Catholic Church of Saint Germain, and declaimed without imitation against the reformed religion. The gendarmerie re itoreil order, and protected the Church for several days. IiAMBURGII MAIL.

( From Me Quoqd;enne.) 6 29.—Extracts from the Jour. nal of a French Traveller on the day on whist King Ferdinand left Madrid " March 20.—1 t is nine o'clock in the morning, and I write with a heart overwhelmed with grief. I have just seen the King and all the Royal Family depart, without one efibrt be, ing made by the terrified inhabitants of the capital to pre vent it. " It was precisely eight o'clock when King Ferdinand was conveyed from his Palace in a sedan chair, as far as the avenue of lilacs (a promenade made according to a plan projected by Joseph Bitonaparte) ; there he waited for his carriages, and thence he. was secretly conducted to the road leading to the bridge of Toledo. " The King, pale, dejected, and exhausted, was in the first carriage with the young Queen, who wept, and appeared in great consternation. The two Infants, with their families, as also the Infant of Portugal, followed in three private carriages ; they appeared equally overwhelmed with sorrow. There were six other carriages for the Court suite. " There were but few persons assembled on the spot where I was ; but most of those who witnessed this mournful spec_ tacle, with sorrowful accents bade farewell to their Sove reign ; and I, although I was not born a Spaniard, could not refrain front tears, as much on account of the evils re served for the Royal Family as of the apathy of the inhabitants of Madrid. " The King and his suite, at the moment I saw them; were only escorted by a detachment of the Sugunta cavalry, about forty men of the mounted National Guard, and sixteen Monntain Chasseurs • but on the Place of the Constitution, there were from 7 to WOO Infantry and Cavalry, with two pieces of cannon, who proceeded to the Bridge of Toledo, to join the Royal convoy. At the bridge where the escort was to form in order, much confusion prevailed. The blockade of nume rous carriages, the parting of many of the wives of the Na tional Guard, the 'exclamations, " Liberty for ever ! Indepen dence for ever !" al' ogether exhibited a scene which deeply af fected my heart. " A great number of the shops were still closed at 10 o'clock, and many persons would not believe the King's departure ; but those who did not doubt of its having taken place, were pene trated with intense sorrow. Some iihed hitter but fruitless tears, others reproached themselves wolf the total disregard which the capital had shewn towards the King and the Royal Family ; in fact, the 20th of March will be a day of ill omen in the annals of to-day contain nothing but declamations of Spanish . l o h u i r s n to a r l y. s . , against the French Government, and the decree for the forma tion of a third army of reserve, composed of the 9th and 10th military districts, comprising all Andalusia, under the orders of ; Lieut.-General Villa Campa. It is a fine thing to form armies of reserve, but at the same time soldiers are wanting to corn pose them, and this want will be felt in the formation of a third, as was the case with the two former. " March 21.—Two companies of the National Guard came in yesterday evening from Valdemoros ; the. Count d'Abisbal having caused them to retrograde and wait for the departure of the Cortes. " In spite of all that has been said and repeated of the de feats of Bessieres, this Chief re-entered Guadalaxara on the 10th. He had made prisoners from three to four hundred troops who . wore in that town. His First Adjutancy, Isodro, at the head of a a handful of men, twice passed through that town, and after having taken seven sappers and an officer, he with drew to decoy the enemy about a league and a half from Al cala, where he defeated them. The Constitutionalists lost 60 men killed and 60 taken prisoners. " Ten o'Clock P. M.—We have just learned that the august Captives, although they set °flat eight o'clock in the morning, only arrived at Aranjuez at eight in the evening. The Royal convoy is numerous, and proceeded but slowly lon the first day. The National Guard became so fatigued, it is said, that they compelled the King's carriages tb stop several times, complaining that they were not able to follow them. " Madrid will soon have no other Journals than Marios (viejo y nnevo ) ; the four Ministerial Journals follow their patrons to Seville. The Patriot, (Opposition Journal) has not been published the last two days ; and the King's Advo cate, doubtless, dares not say any thing for fear of the Diable Boiteux ; this is the nickname given to l'Abisbal, who is in fact lame. " March 22.—Bessi6res is now almost entirely master of the environs of the capital ; nothing can oppose his movements ; the small proportion of cavalry which was watching him has been recalled, to form part of the Royal escort. After hav ing gained several advantages over the Constitutionalists, whom he moreover treated with great generosity, he holds him self in Guadalaxara, with the intention, doubtless, of marching upon Madrid. " The Cortes set of to-morrow with the Council of State and several functionaries; but the most mutes of the Deputies, such as Salvato, Gonzales, Alonzo, and others, have already left the capital under various pretexts, chiefly, as the ysaid, to regulate their family affairs ere they went to Seville. " It is affirmed that the Royalist Chiefs are combining their movements, in order to surprise the Deputies on their route; with a view, in the first place, to keep them as hostages to gua ranty the safety of the King and,Royal Family, and also to pa ralyze the course of the Constittitional system. " It is in order to fulfil thjs plan that Bessieres is occupied in assembling all his forces, and those of the other several Royalist Chiefs, while 12,000 insurgents of the kingdom of Valencia will descend into Andalusia ' to cut off' the retreat of the convoys which will leave Madrid. The horrible pro ett which the Revolutionists have avowed, viz. to cut the throats of the King and the Princes if the escort were attacked, has induced a determination to let It proceed to Saville, unless an occasion offers to deliver the Royal Family without expos- ing them. " The Government has received dispatches today, which con firm the entrance of the Royalists into Oviedo, where theyin stantly liberated all who were imprisoned on account of political opinions ; and afterwards took possession of all the arms and warlike stores. It is affirmed, that they have effected a junc tion with the lluronians (in Galicia), forming altogether a corps of upwards of 10,000 resolute men. It is said that General Morino and Palarca have received orders to proceed and sups presS this insurrection; but they have scarcely any troops at their disposal. - " The report having been spread this evening, that the French troops had entered Spain, and that it was even believed that they had reached Vitteria, the Li is beraux and their Journals an nounce, that a revolution about to be declared throughout France i • that Paris, Bordeaux, and Lyons have hoisted the tri coloredfiag, and that the army of the Pyrenees has received orders to retrograde. " The ferocious character of the Count • del'Abisbal inspires here great terror ; the National Guards who have remained at Madrid support as tyrannical will but impatiently. He has just.ordered an investigation into the conduct of the Govern ment of Guadalaxara, and the officers who were in garrison in that town, for not having made resistance when Bessieres en tered ; and although they are in the power of this Royalist Chief', yet he causes the proceedings against them to be followed up.—'l he provincial deputations, which are under his military command, have received instructions from del'Abisbal, which it will be impossible for them to execute under present cir cumstances, either as respects the levy of contributions or new conscripts. " It is added that the Count del'Abisbal, after the departure of the last convoys for Seville, will establish at Toledo the head quarters of the first army of reserve which is under his orders; in this case Madrid will be entirely abandoned. " We are astonished here that the French Liberal Papers venture to boast of the measures of the Spanish Revolutionists, and eulogize the Expalador and Universe!. It is not then known in Paris that these Journals are filled with the grossest invectives against the person of the King of France and his family. " March 23, Two 0' Clock, p. M.-The Cortes, whirls de parted to-day, are accompanied by the two companies of the National Guards who returned from Valdemoros, and 30 horse. The number of carriages in which the Deputies, the Functio naries, and their baggage are, conveyed, is very considerable, and another convoy will set off to-morrow. The garrison of the capital is now very weak ; it is mainly composed of con , scripts who are not even clothed. "Phe enumeration made by the Journals of the French troops which compose die two erodes, and the statement of the order in which they, will enter Spain, ha v e excited great sense . tint, and no belief is now given to the rumours of en insurrec tion in France and the assassination of Louis XVIII. which have been hawked about during four days past, on the audio . rity of pretended letters from French refugees on the frontiers. It is this evening announced as positive, that (in conse . quence of the combined movements of die Royalist Chiefs, spoken of above,) a column of Royalists, about :;000 strong, have become masters of Talavera la Reins ; and that they will post themselves on the route to Seville, to attack the convoys which leave Madrid. At SeVerl o'clock this evening, some cavalry arrived at the Porte d'Alcala, who formed part of i.e.': troops sent against Bessieres, and whom this Chief defeated." BAYONNE PAPERS. BAYONNE, APRIL I.—A very rigorous Decree, in seven articles, has been issued by the GoVernment at Madrid, which renders the property of those which are drawn to serve in the army responsible, and if they have none, that of their parents, in case they delay to join the corps for which they are destined. The Students at the University of Bergara are said to have all enlisted as volunteers in the militia. NVe must say a word of what has passed between the troops of Santos Ladron and those of the Patriots. It must be owned that the Constitutionalists, deceived by , a guide, fell into an ainbush, when they came to levy the contribution in kind which the Cortes have decreed.— Colonel Salcedo lost som e men ; but this is nothing in compa rison with what is stated in gin official report of the Agents of the Army of the Faith posted at Bayonne. According to them, there were 250 killed, end 700 prisoners; among whom were a Colonel and 60 other officers. The fact, however, is, that the detachment consist e d on l y o f 400, who rallied under the walls of Pampeluna. Waggons are arriving here heavily laden' with materials for the bridge, :which come from Strasburg. This will cost 180,000 francs, whereas it might have been done for thirty thousand. His Royal Highness the Duke of Angouleme arrived here the day before yesterday at 7 o'clock, P.M., though he was not expected before the following day. The Municipality conse quently invited the c iti zens to spew,in a striking manner, their joy at the presence o f a descendant of Henry IV. This invita tion was not made in vain : most of the houses before which the procession was to pass, were adorned with flags and illuminated, while salutes of ar t ill ery and the ringing of bells announced the Prince's arrival. Cries of live le of 1 rive le Due d'ilvou. lone ! accompanied the Prince to the Episcopal Palace. Yes terday all the Civil and Military Officers had the honour to be presepttd, as well as great numbers of French and Spanish oe-, nerals, including th e Trappist, who did' not fail to attend in the dirty costume of his Order. This Monk every day has as semblies, which take the tide of Sittings of the Royal 'finite. It is composed of all the Sp a nish Generals. Two Swiss regiments are expected to-day. Nice hear from St. Jean de Luz that GOO men of the Army of the Faith haw) left that place and passed the Bidassoa, for the purpose of protecting some deserters and some young men , who come to enlist in the Army of the Faith. They were attacked by the regiment Imperial Alexander, and have returned much weakened. FOR THE SUN. DEAL, APRIL 8, 1823. MR. EDlTOR,—Pennit me to lay before the Public, through your impartial Paper, the parti culars of a transaction arising out of the Coast Blockade System for prevention of Smuggling, which lately occurred here, and to inquire of those of more legal knowledge than I possess, how far the Officers of the King's Service are justified in some part of their conduct on this oc casion. An examination took place yesterday at our Ball, of five Deal boatmen, captured on the 31st ultimo, with their boat and twelve' half ankers of spirits, near the Downs. The inquiry was before the MAYoit and Mr. IGGULDEN, one of the Magistrates ; Lieutenant GRAHAM of the Navy, assisted by the Customs Officers, conduct ed the Charge, and the Prisoners were defended by Mr. SHIrDEN, the respectable Town Clerk of Dover. These five men, it was stated, were kept prisoners (I believe in irons) on board the Severn, for eight days after the capture, and were yes terday morning landed at the Dock-yard, under a strong guard of Marines, with loaded arms and fixed bayonets, and the whole of the Coast Guard, armed with drawn cutlasses and horse pistols in their belts ; ,formidable as was such warlike array hi time of peace, the prisoners Were each handcuffed to one of the Blockade people, and thus escorted up through the town to the Town- Hall.—After a patient investigation, Mr. Snip- DEN took a general pbjection to the information, as being verbally at variance with the facts clearly made out in evidence, which proved that the boat in question, named the Shannon of Deal, did not leave the beach until the afternoon, and was seized between eight and nine that evening, so that she could not have gone in that short time to Calais (the nearest port) and back, nor was any evidence adduced to prove she had commu nicated with any other boat or vessel, the blockade Officer, Mr. MARSHAL, who made the capture, having kept sight of her from the period he began the chace.—Now the Act of Parliament defines, that to subject persons to its provisions, the contraband goods must be brought from some Foreign Port, in the vessel or boat in which they are found, or that they must be proved to have been taken out of some ship or vessel which has come from a Foreign Port.—No evidence was, however, offered to fix either of these points on the prisoners, and indeed the 'whole evidence on the part of the Crown, (clear as it was as to the fact of spirits being found with the boat,) made out the contrary. This objection, so well-founded, wasably and successfully argued by Mr. SHIPDEN, and the men were discharged. Now, Sir, I am very desirous of inquiring, whether, under such cir cumstances, the eight days detention of these boatmen on board a ship of war, in irons, without their being taken before a Magistrate, or under going any sort of examination, be not a stretch of power not justified by the circumstances of the case, and whether it' be not such an' uncalled for visitation on the liberty of the subject as might be brought before a Court of Justice, or the House of Commons, without arraigning the right or the power of the Government to protect its revenue ? Still I am of opinion that such power, as the Laws have granted for that pur pose, ought to be fairly and dispassionately exer cised. On the present affair I think the Corn. mender of the Severn has not done right in keep ing these men in the confinement of felons for eight days ;—how far the conduct of the Customs Department of the Law in London, as well as their delay in forwarding the informations, may justify him, is not for me to judge ; in respect of the former, the Learned Gentleman who acted for the accused, publicly declared that he had no hesitation in saying, that the information sent down by the Customs in London might have been framed, so as completely to meet the case. 1 urn, Sir, your humble Servant, AN OLD CUSTOM-HOUSE OFFICER.
