FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, JAN. 8. 'Yesterday morning, at B o'clock, the King transacted business with, M. the Duke de Dou deauville, Peer of France, Director-General of the Posts. Last evening there was a grand reception at the residence of the Duke d'Orleans. His Serene Highness received the Ambassadors and Mini. stern Plenipotentiary , of the Foreign Powers, the Archbishop of Paris, and numerous person ages of distinction. The suit instituted by the Spanish Ambassador against MM. Ouvrard and Rougemont de Low. 'enberg will positively not come on until Tuesday next, the 14th inst., when it will be tried before the sixth Correctional Chamber. M. Maugin pleads for M. the Duke de San Lorenz); MM. Bonnet and Gauthiers Menars are the counsel for the accused. The notes of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, ♦rill be published forthwith.—(L'Etoile.) The public mind ,of Paris im exclusively occu pied respecting the answer of the Cortes, and the determination which the French Govern ment will come to. This determination can now be no more matter of doubt than the reply of the SPaniards. The Ministers of the revolution have their laugnage us direct as the Ministers of legi t thniscy. They are now in the presence of each other.— ( /dem.) ft is said that three Colonels of the army have been allowed .to retire upon half-pay.—(ldem.) The disrnisal of several colonels is . spoken of. —(Quotidienne.) Advices from Bayonne state, !that the colonel, the lieutenant-colonel, and 16 officers, of the 38th regiment of the line, have been dismissed,. us also the brigade-major of the 37th.—(l i e . Pilate.) it is reported that. the Moniteur will forthwith publish the list of the Council of State. We (the Journal de . Paris) yesterday copied from the Toulouse Journal a letter from St. Gl rons, dated the 30th ult., announcing the taking of Balaguer, by a corps of 900 men of the Army of,the Faith ; our correspondent at Perpignan, however, whose correctness is well known to us, and who, from his position, ought to be pretty well informed of what is passing in Catalonia, has transmitted to us, under date the 29th ult., the following details, in .which lie does not men tion the taking of Balaguer : " Several couriers from Spain are in arrear ; but, according to what is stated by a man who has this instant arrived from Barcelona, all the mails are at St. Felin, where they await an escort to protect them to the frontiers." - The same individual adds, that M. Butron, the Political Chief of Barcelona, had left the town to range the different communes, in order per sonally to inform himself of the public feeling, and to punish some Alcal.des who are accused of , -secretly favouring the Insurgents. There is now only a corps of 200 Insurgents in the province of Tarragona, commanded by Billie, and who are ut Villamanesca and Navos. General Llovoras left Figueras on the 27th, With a column of troops of the line, to disperse this corps. Numerous soldiers of the Army of the Faith, who, to avail themselves of the am nesty, had taken passports here to return into Spain, have aiready arrived at Jonquera. general Mina has returned to Urger; it is thought with the design of accelerating the opera lions there. General Fleires and Colonel. Martinez have left Perpignan this morning for Toulouse ; their departure has much disheartened the officers of the hrmy of the Faith who are here ; to revive tteir hopes, they are told that MM. Fleires and Martinez will return shortly. to a recent number (says the Drapeau Blanc) we announced the death of the, regicide Monnel. W4t have just received a copy of the recantation which he made before he expired. This docu ment, which it is gratifying to us to publish, bears tfeery character of authenticity : the hitter re pentance which it manifests will. be a motive of consolation for the friends of religion and legi- I.llllltCy C 4 The undersigned, S.

(Prom the Constitutionnel.) 1? mos, .14to. B.—Who is pleased with the election of M. de Pistesubriand ? Who Is displeased with it ? If the fanatics may be believed, they are delighted, and, the Constitutionalists Alas I the latter are became quite indifferent as to nominations I After all which they have seen for several years, nothing astorsisbes them, nothing terrifies them ; all the mischief which can he done hat Leen done to them. There are no more Axons to take from them, no more affronts to offer them. It not possible to deprive thorn more completely of every gus.. hiatoo. Thus for them the change in men is only a sort of taree show, fur fife workings of ambition are rot wititout inte rest for observers, if their consequences were not some time so disastrous to the people. As for the fanatics; there is something , false in their joy and stiff in their congratulations of the new Minister. It is easily seen that the man who speaks of the charter is not after their heart, since, though he desired to see it aristocratic, he stilt desired it. How can M. de Chateau briand agree with the formidable party, which, with M. Lau rentie at its head, attacks even (he form of a representative go venment, rejects juries, freedom of discussion, toleration, and even the power of doubting and examining in political matters, as the most horrible scourges which can afflict a nation ? It cannot be denied, that an invisible' power at present sur muntls all thrones ; a true secret society more dangerous to their security than all the sects of which at present so much is said; a society which, banished from all kingdoms, has returned as a sovereign to all, and being no where acknowledged by the law, aspires every where to give laws to every body else. 'Who advocates the cause of the Jesuits, advocates despotism. Spain was the refuge of their ruined power; it had become their central point, and it was necessary to reconquer it at any price. They would soon do away with the Charters which limit them in other countries. How could they suffer that ? The Holy Alliance ever displeases them, it is too profane.— One of their organs formerly said, " There can be no more Congresse's than Councils, and if they are still at the feet of ab solute Monarchs, it is because they find their power necessary. When their enemies shall be extinct, they will signify their will to the Powers of the earth." You think that they will see with pleasure M. de Chateau briand at the head of Foreign Affairs. They are not ignorant that this Author-Minister has passed from Berlin to London ; that at Berlin he was able to judge of the general wish for a constitution ; and that at London he has seen a great nation who possesses and enjoys one. To found liberty in France by an aristocracy is the Utopia of M. de Chateaubriand, but an aristo cracy is only made by ages, and by wealthy And in the moral and political state of France, riches and honours not being in. terdicted to any body, the aristocracy is constantly in motion, like fortune and talents. M. de Chateaubriand has returned from England imbued with the principles of Mr. Canning, a plebeian placed by the oligarchy in the first office of the State, when our aristocracy will scarcely tolerate M. de Chateaubriand, who in its eyes is almost a new man. Mr. Canning is favourable to the Greeks; he is the defender of the independence of nations, and in consequence the enemy of an armed intervention. M. de Chateaubriand returned to Paris, and he went to Ye. rona in this disposition of mind. The coldness is not forgotten with which he was received there ; the note attributed to M. le Comte Achille de Joutfroy was circulating at that time in the diplomatic circle, and the author of the Genie du Christian. lime, denounced to the absolute governments as the apostle of Charters, was treated as a doctrinaire, and alMost as a liberal. The contest which took place at Verona between Russia and England was dexterously suspended by the latter,but soon reviv ed at Paris, where her influence was greater. It is known that at the return of our Ministers, the one whom the Congress had loaded with honours was obliged to resign his place to the one the Congress had disgraced. The fury of the fanatics has been great; to displace a Montmorency is high treason—a crime against all the Continent. Thus the cries of the faction have terrified the victors ; they see only enemies around them; they have asked for succour, but have been left without help. The nation and the Consti tutionalists were therc,but separated from them by barriers, that they did not dare to pass.' There are few Statesmen so strong minded as to resist the fear of appearing feeble ; they do not know that the most rediculqus of all things is to submit; and they like better to perish with a.party that never pardons, than to save themselves with a nation that always'pardons. Experi ence has prayed this in times of trouble ; statesmen can reckon more securely on the enemies with whom they become allies than on the friends to whom they will not be slaves. The ran cour of factions is implacable, and to stop them on the borders even of a precipice is the highest crime, which they never par don. You must let them force you onwards, and perish with them. _ _ _ The fanatics desired immediate war; they were asked for a few days delay ; they would not grant a moment's; they looked only to the power of the sword—it must be drawn. The chances are terrible ; they know this, but every thing or nothing is their motto. In vain the faction is told that the assistance of foreigners *it perhaps he necessary. They are not ignorant of this, and do not dread it ; spite of boasting it feels its insecurity ; isolated in the midst of the country, one would say that It needs 600,000 foreigners not to be solitary. Do not its habitual organs daily prepare us foi this ? Even yesterday did they not promise us the assistance of the Tartars ? While the sons go. to fight the children of the south, they would put the fathers under the in spection of the police-men of the north, Their writings prove this ; the, arty fears the seductions of the army. Never did it publish more openly its feebleness, and yet such is the result of the situation of things, that its power seems to . increase with the check it has received. Before the last change in the Mi nistry, some Prefects of 1815 had not been replaced, since then they have ; they are not indebted for this to the successful Minister, and we are assured they have returned' their thanks to the disgraced Minister. [EXTRACT more OUR PILIVATE, CORRESPONDENEE.I PEnriartax, Disc. M.—The blockade of Urgel still con tinues ; it is not the intention of the General in Chief to be siege it: The factious do not occupy one place of importance; the wreck of these troops have taken refuge in the mountains. The general quarters of Mina ate still at Delver. The batta. lion of Lareda, consisting of 700 men, form thelarrison of Puyeertia, with 25 cavalry of the Prince's regiment'. This garrison has recently been reinforced by the regiment of the Canaries, which is complete, well equipped, well armed, and very skilful in their discipline.—qhe Governor of Puycerda is Don Fernando de Miranda, a man of honour, and of great talents; he is Colonel and Chief of the Staff of that depart ment. The inhabitants of the Spanish Cerdagne are arming and organizing themselves; there are already five companies formed, and it is hoped that in a short time the whole province will be formed into regiments. Panne TUE DANUBE, Due. 27.—1 n order the more speedily to attain the object of establishing peace, in the East of Europe, there is an idea of sending an extraordinary Plenipotentiary to Constantinople ; rho, without appearing as an Ambassador for the Emperor Alexander, and without . being in the service of Russia, is fully acquainted with the opinions and views of the Cabinet of St. Peteraburgh, and can act accordingly, (It is known that . Baron Lebzeltern, Austrian Ambassador at St. Petersburgh has been proposed for this purpose.) It is thought dist in this case this plan should be adapted—the Plenipoten tier" will appear at Constantinople in the name of the Con gress, for the purpose of affecting an artangernent between the contending parties. The Athbassadors of Austria, Greet Britain, France, and Pruealit, would receive instructions to support to the utmost the negaciations of the Plenipo. tentiary. But should this Luit attempt to bring the Porte' to principles of moderation and justice fail, Russia would probably no longer hesitate to make use of the right which the Congress at Verona did not 'deny, of actively interfering in the internal affairs of Turkey; and it is said, that in anticipation of this caw an alliance has already been agreed upon. between Russia, Great Britain; and another of the great European Powers. Meantime, and till the question of war or peace is finally decided, the military preparations on the part of Russia will continue, which will also be the best means of giving weight to the negociations to be opened at Constantinople. SPAIN. BAYONNE, JAN. 2. The fort of Irati was abandoned on the 28th ult. by the Defenders of the Faith for want of provisions. _ _ War is much spoken of to-day. The order to make the Spaniards retire into the interior is so strict, that it includes even persons who have resided here several years. The accounts from Madrid of the 25th say —" We continue to enjoy perfect tranquillity, and the pacific news which we continue to receive causes the effervescence of the public mind gradually to subside ' • its efforts have even been felt in the Landaburian Club, where, mention being made of the critical situation in which the Ministers are placed, a pompous eulo glum was passed on them, and it was even confessed that they had surpassed the hopes of all good Spaniards. They were only blamed for the favour they have shown to somejour nalists who have flattered them, while they have taken for their enemies others that have dared to point out their faults. This alteration shows that at the first signal of a foreign invasion, the whole of the constitutional party would blend together, which would suffice to raise the nation in a mass. Up to the 25th, our Ministry had received no official communication from fo reign Powers ; and hitherto all the steps taken by a foreign Am. bassador to pave the way for the pretensions of his Government have been ineffectual. • No foreign interference, no modifications in the constitution! The constitution or death, and war with the whole world if we are provoked.' These are the expressions which pass from mouth to mouth. Even should the Spaniards see the English remain neuter in case of aggression, which does not seem very, probable at present, we may be assured that they would not yield to the threats of France, nor to the whole of the Holy Alliance.—The Neapolitan General, William Pepe, who came from London solely to offer his services to Spain in case it should be attacked, has set out for Lisbon, but he will not yet leave the Peninsula. Colonel Pisa, his Aid-de-Camp, remains at Madrid. It is affirmed that the Spanish Govern ment, guided by principles of moderation, and wishing to pre serve the best understanding with foreign Cabinets, and espe cially with France, has rejected the plan proposed by the Nea politan General, and by several distinguished French Generals, who have taken refuge in Spain ; which was, to use reprisals' towards the French Government, on account of..the civil war, which it is supposed to have kindled, and still to inflame in Catalonia and the other provinces. This has impeded the or ganization of the foreign legion, which so many emigrants have solicited, and which all the Spaniards would have approved.— All the accounts from the provinces respecting the elections of the municipalities show that the Liberals have every where triumphed, which will much tend to consolidate the system. G It E E C E. NUREMBERG, DF.C. 31.—Our Gazelle, under the head of Zante, publishes the following in. " On the 15th and 9.oth of October, the Insurgent Chiefs gave the Turks a complete defeat, near the villages of Stamna and ht Trinilf, in the environs of Anatolico. The Cavalry was almost totally destroyed. Caralsacchi and Gum came to the succour of the Etolians, and united themselves afterwards, in Acarnania, to the division commanded by the sons of The seus. The Turks lost all their ammunition at Stamna. These events may tura out of the greatest importance to the Greeks. " It is not yot known what has been the fate of the enemy's division which was stationed in the environs of Vrachori, but we are assured that they were not more fortunate than that of Anatolico. The bravest of the Grecian Chieftains, Ours, Ca ralsacchi, Mekri, Soaks, Zouga, and the youngest of the sons of Theseus, fought on this occasion. The treason of Verna chietti has done much injury to the Greeks. Accounts have been since received that the Etolians, united to the troops of Sofaka and Ours, beat the Turks in the environs of Vraehori ; and that the latter were obligtgl to retire towards Achelous." EXTRACTS OF A LETTER ritost AN OFFICER IN TILE SQUADRON ACTING IN TUE MEDITERRANEAN. • " We have had but little to amuse ourselves in this part of the world, except to escort an lonian boat in October last, from Cephalonia to Patras ; on our arrival the Captain immediately sent ashore for the British Consul, Mr. Green, but who was ab sent; the Vice-Consul came on board, to whom Captain Jet voise gave orders to procure for him an i nt e rv i ew w i t h t h e P ac h a , as he h a d communications to make to him from the lonian Go vernment, touching a breach of neutrality, and which interview, the Captain said, should be made half-way from any point he may point out. The Vice-Consul went on shore, anti returned with an answer, that, as it was then late, the Paella could not grant an interview till nine o'clock the next morning, and ap pointed the place of assembling under a largo tree. We were there at nine, but no Pacha making his appearance, we return ed immediately on board. Some tune after, a boat came ot to say the Pac h a was waiting at the appointed place ; after keep ing his Highness a little in suspence, we went to the place ap pointed, and found him seated on a blue cushion under the tree, with his pipe. After providing us with chairs (attcurce article), we. were seated, and the overture began with handing us coffee. The Captain then commenced by inquiring why a party of troops of the Ottoman Porte had been sent on board a neutral vessel belonging to an lonian subject? The Pacha gave a sa tisfactory reply by saying, that through the ill health of one of his officers, a pass bad been granted him to proceed to his friends at Prevesa, and to obtain a passage in whet manner he could. Of this pass seven more had availed themselves, and, agreed with an lonian boat for a large sum of money, to convey them to Prevesa. Another lonian boat meeting them, conveyed them to Cephalonia for a breach of neutrality, where the vessel was condemned, and all hands pl a c e d in the Lazaretto, and the master severely fined. The Turks being brought to the Pacha, he was highly pleased, as desertion being very frequent, he was determined to punish severely, so that ere this they are with . Mehemet, or fell from their passage across the silver web ;--the belief here being,'that after death they cross a pas sage on a silver web, and he whose sins bear too heavy on the web, breaks through, and instead of reaching Paradise, goes to Purgatory. " The Turks certainly deserve commiseration, for at this time in the Noma they are greatly in want of provisions, a pound of bread, Vto b, got, sells for half a dollar. . " We, having settled our business about the neutrality, as also of their firing into the Chanticleer, returned on board, and the Turks retired to their castle of Ogia, now in a miserable state, garrisoned by only 400 Turks. " The cause of the Turks in the Mores is very unfavour. able; all their troops being in the city of Corinth, about 90 miles distant from us, surrounded by the Greeks, and in the greatestalistress for provisions, of which the Greeks have an abundant supply. Acts•of the greatest. cruelty are constant. ly practised ; not long since four Greeks had each a stake driven through his body—they lingered four days ! Per this, as many Tusks were . instantly served the saute. Corinth is surrounded by deed bodies, in every state of putrefaction, from the one that fell yesterday, to the first at the commencement of the warfare. " Twenty thousand Terks are now in Albania to force the Isthmus of Corinth, which is strongly guarded by the Greeks ; should they succeed, the carnage will be dreadful. " We arrived , at .Caron in the night, and went on shore in the morning to wiliness most appalling sights ; of 2,000 houses, not one was left standing; what has become of the unfortunate inhabitants, it is impossible to say—some to slavery —some massacred - ..others doomed to worse than death ; this is the fourth town I have been in where destruction is perceivable at every footstep. • " On the Ist of November the Captain had an interview with the Bey, and delivered his letters from Sir Thomas Maitland, demanding a number of pirates who had been pillaging and murdering. The Bey replied, he was quite indignant at the subject; indeed his men were so divided, he said, and killed by the Greeks in ambush; that he could scarce account for his men. If, upon inquiry, it was the me, they should be punish. ed and restitution made, but be would not consent to give them up. He inquired if any of the British subjects were to commit acts of piraey, whether the King of England would de liver them up ? Upon being answered it, the negative, he said, how canyon expect the Porte will deliver these men up to you ? If the crime is proved, they shall be punished for this breach of the laws of nations by our own laws. During this service, several of our men were placed around with glasses, fearful of an impetuous attack from the Greeks, who succeed in this kind of warfare, anti spare no one. The day before they' killed six men, and wounded two, at the distance they were then fromthe Castle, Having completed this affair, the B ey denying all knowledge of thehusiness, we have returned Corfu:" FROM THE AMERICAN PAPERS. AFatcA.—By the Ruby, from St. Sago, Cape de Verds, we have received from our attentive Correspondent a file of the Sierriaeune Gazette to July 13, from which we mate the following extracts : " SIERRA LEONE, JUNE 15.—1 n another co lumn we give in detail the particulars of the en terprise undertaken by the boats of the Iphigenia and Myrmidon in the Bonny against the slave dealers, the successful execution of which has li berated from bondage one thousand six hundred and fifteen of our fellow men. We have often had occasion to offer our feeble tribute of gratitude and praise to the officers of his Majesty's navy on this station, for their well-directed and incessant exer tions in the cause of suffering humanity ; but in the present instance their conduct is above all praise. The determined zeal which Sir Robert Mends has manifested since his arrival on this coast, and the successful results of the sqtfad ron under his command, must for ever place that officer among the most distinguished be. nefactors of Africa. In less than three mouths, upwards of 2,000 negroes have been wrested from the grasp of Spanish, Portuguese, and French renegadoes, and placed under the fos tering care of British benevolence in this Co lony, from whence many of them may yet return to their own countrymen, competent to impart to them in their turn the blessings of civilized life. To have been instrumental in conferring so much benefit to the children of Africa, and on their posterity, who would otherwise have been condemned to perpetual slavery, must be to Sir Robert Mends and his gallant officers, the most delightful reflection and the best reward. The late captures in the Bonny must fully con. firm our repeated assertions as to the horrible entent to which the traffic in slaves is carried on in that river. The severe check given the traders there in October last by Captain Leeke, appears to have been soon forgotten ; unfortunately, none of our cruisers had been employed to leeward from that date up to April last. The squadron, during the period above alluded to, was under the immediate direction of Capt. Kelly. On the subject of the French slave trade, we are unwilling to trust our own feelings ; the pertinacity with which the subjects of His Most Christian Majesty have persevered in what we have been led to believe is to them an illegal traffic, cannot but excite the reprobation and disgust of the liberal and humane of all coun- tries. The detention and seizure of three armed vessels, filled with slaves of that nation in the Bonny for their piratical attack on boats bearing the British ensign, and employed in the execution of their duty, proves to the world that many French subjects on this coast are not only slave dealers but pirates, if indeed a distinction is to be drawn betwe e n them. " JUNE 9.0.—0 n Wednesday last Commodore Sir Robert Mends s4iled for Europe, ria the West Indies despatched : p r prev i ous l y usl yto his three Frenchdeparture, si te b r S i i g r s , R. had which were captured in the Bonny, to England. It is with much pleasure we understand that a por tion of the squadron is to be kept constantly cruizing between the Gold Coast and the Bights of Benin and Biafra. This arrangement, we are confident, must be attended with the most he. neficial results to the cause of humanity ; for we know from experience that the rainy season has always been the richest harvest for the slave dealers. his Majesty's brig Thistle is now in the Bight of Biafra, for which station the driver sailed on Monday last. Yesterday, the Snapper also sailed on a cruise to leeward, and we understand, with directions from the Commodore to visit the new American settle ment at Mesurudo, with the view of affording the colonists there any assistance or protection that they might require." SOUTH AMERICA. OPERATIONS OF THE ROYALIST FORCES. ST. CROIX ) NOVEMBER 2.—By the accounts received this day from good authority, it ap pears that General Morales, after taking pos session of Maracaibo and the forts of San Carlos and Gibraltar, sailed thence for Porto Cabello, having the most considerable- part of his force, and taking with him the frigate Ligera, the brig Hercules, and two schooners. The latter were cast away on the coast of Coro, and the ship and brig got safe into Porto Cabello, where they now are. About the time of General Morales' de parture from Maracaibo, General Urdaneta, with 3,500 troops, arrived at Truxillo from the kingdom of Santa Fe, and was therefore with in 2. days march of the Spanish forces at Gibraltar. The arrival of so large a force enabled General Paez to return from Truxillo with his troops to Valencia, where they arrived on Friday evening, the 18th ult.—ln addition to the Colombian forces under General Urdaneta, it appears Ge neral Montello had landed at Rio de la Hache a considerable body of troops . ; and after land ing, directed the Lady Borringdon corvette, of 34 guns, the Tarantula, of 14 guns, and two schoners, in which he brought his troops from Carthagena, to cruise off the Bar of Maracaibo, so as to prevent the Spaniards from getting out,l as he appeared confident of uniting his force with' that of General Urdaueta, and obliging the Spa nish troops to capitulate, and deliver up the City and Forts. Between La Guayra and Va lencia there are, without exaggeration, 12,000 troops, exclusive of militia or volunteer corps, at La Guayra, Caraccas, San - Pedro, Maracaibo, Victoria, and Valencia. On Monday last Gen. Paez was to have renewed the siege of 'Porto Cabello with 3000 men ; and eighteen vessels of different classes were under orders to sail from La Guayra as soon as possible, for the purpose of blockading that place; ana,as a preparatory measure, an em bargo was laid on at La Guayra. The naval force consists of several brigs, schooners, &c. but the principal ones destined to attack the Spanish frigate and brig were, the corvette under the com mand of Commodore Daniels, and the Indepen dencia. Commodore Daniels has got the com mand of the expedition, and is determined, at the risk of all, to destroy the Spanish force. He has brought 400 sailors and mariners iu the cor vette and brig from New York. r.KRATA.—In the LITERARY NOTICE of Wonnsworrg t s ECCLESIASTICAL SKETCHES, in last Thursday's SUE, for " Ildiow-Church." read Hallowed Church.
