FOREIGN INTELLI%ENeE. FRENCH PAPERS. (Final the Ga74:tte de Froace, Nev. 4. PARIS, Nov. 3.—Mr. linskisson, late Minister of the Cokinies, and one of the most dietiriguished Members of the Honse of Commons, arrived at Par y osterday. The Committee of Commercial Inquiry h e ld a i f•P con (1 sitting on - Friday evening, at which all the - Members were present. They were particularly engaged in determining the series of questions to bo examined. The first two are those relative to iron ant to sit ar. Two special Sub-Cornmittces, each fg composed of three MerrliwN, were chosen, class arran ge the several memoirs sent to the Minister I of Commerce or to the Council. (From the Message:. des: Chambres of Nov. B.) OpussA, Oc T. the inhabitant of the town of Odessa are full of joy on account of the taking of Varna, which had been so long expected. The more obstinate the resistance was, the more glorious is the eonque4t. A note written on the I lth, the same day that the fortress surrendered, by Count Nesselrode to Lord Heytesbury, the British Ambassador Extraordinary who had re• maked here, made the public acquainted with this surrender of one of the most important bulwarks of the Ottoman empire. It is also reported that Omer Vrione had no ,Iteruative but to surrender, or to fall bark on Shumla. The members of the Diplomatic Body who had sailed from this port for Varna, entered the road of the latter place during the negociations with Je'-cui and thus were witnesses of the triun ei our brave troops, to whom the Emperor teas ex pressed his gratitude in a special Order of the Dad•, SE.

PARIS', NOV. 3.—The Peloponnesus is in the power of France, and this glorious conquest is due entirely to the policy which conceived and the skill which directed our expedition to the Mores. The General who commanded has, by his courage and his talents, with the powerful assistance of our navy, overcome the obstacles that were opposed 'to his proceedings. ne has done better ; his decision and prudence have saved us from a war with Turkey. The Divan has shewn, as we must acknowledge, great wisdom and admirable political foresight. En gaged in a contest with Russia, of which the issue will decide her existence, it did not wish to aggra vate the evils of its position and divide its forces; it did not wish to add us to its enemies. France is DOW very imposing, being free from any embarrass ment which might involve her with any of the lad ligerent Powers. After having liberated a people -worthy of its protection, she can effectually interfere to restore p. ere and preserve that equilibrium of reciprocal forces which is its guarantee. Her army of the Etat, which her military condition will allow either to recall or reinforce, must exereiee a direct influence un the events and negociations which the winter will bring forward. We can, therefore, only congratulate the King's Government. It is rising ;f1 the. estimation of France and of Foreign countries; and the beloved iklhnarch, whose people are now eelebreting his birth-day, ohteins a fresh proof of the Divine protection. Coestitutional order, of which he consolidate the basis and developes the principles, secures for his ancient and august dynasty a lung curl glorious future. The indestructible • union be tween the Prince awl his subjects promises to our posterity happy days, and to Europe many years of peeoe. France thus by her gratitude rewards the army and navy, which have di•played such generous emulation to accomplish the honourable mission the Ring has confided to them. France possesses illustrious men of letters formed ie its capital, which is like a large reservoir, collect ing all the knowledge of the provinces. Unfortu nately, the capital has not yet learned how to return to the erovitaces a part of the benefits derived from them, by communicating to them a knowledge of the Parisian eeienees. What reaches Paris remains :absorbed in it, which is the great inconvenience in public education as in other matters. The literary man formed in the previtices g:nerally remains a little below the actual state of present knowledge. He is ignortnt of the age, and persists in his ancient methods. A Normal school, which should develope ;she talents of yotsee men in the capital, and make them are t uainted with shat accumulation o f lit erar y treasure which is continually augmenting in Paris by contributions from every quarter of the globe, is therefore needed by the country, and is a well-timed inetitntine. Cridoubtedly, our anatomists keep I pare with foreign anatomists, if they do not pre e d e t h em ; our natural philosophers are justly eels et i, rate e. We have distinguished astronomers. and ma• thematicians ; the iilustrioue La Flare has not carried with him to the tomb all superiority; our physi cians possess a well-merited reputation ; rosily, we I rreiv boast that we are superior to other rations in whet relates to the education of mechaeiciens, and the development of arts and industry, for We inclnde Ibis in the course of public instruction, which is done in no other country. We must avow, how ever, without fear, because we are sure the breach still be repired whenever it is pointed out, that we yet need mach, in several respects, to reach the level of Germany. Our jurisprudence is at fault ; where are our Cujas and Inimoulins ?

Among th e three flags which supersede the Crescent, is one of a power engaged in serious quarrel with the Porte, but it is sufficient to be placed near the other . two to ensure it their pacific character. A thick veil yet rovers the secret causes of these events.

Has he said to them—l am r.ot at war with the French ; allow them to take our fortresses, rather than commit any hostilities against I them ? Are such proceedings characteristic? Have not the Turkish Commandants rather treated with the F..ropean Ambassadors and Generals, and have they not heen initiatei by diplomacy in the doctrine of passive resistance '? They refuse to deliver up the places ; they desire to he compelled ; they place themselves on their ramparts to see their gates bat tered down, and their walls escaladed; and :satisfied by these formalities, they give tip their eharge, taking care to draw up a document that every thing was done in order. At Coron, however, the 'Finks committed a slight act of violence, but they took care not to use their muskets; they threw some stones, which led to no results. I. seems that these garrisons only wished to surrender according to rule. (From the Journal des Debets of Sunday and Alonday.) LISBON, OCT. 18.—(Private Correspondence.)— All the official persons connected with the former Spanish Embassy have just ostensibly resumed the exercise of their functions, and continue regularly to receive their pay. Count Casa Flores, son of the late Ambassador, now holds the place of First secre tary to the Legation. The last letters tt.Jfil Elvas confirm the news, that every day Spanish troops are arriving on the line of Badajoz, and that those troops are making move ;Jams which are suspicious. The fearful mania of arrests has been displayed for s►ome days past, with more activity than ever. Agents of the police are placed at the corners of the street, to watch and follow the passengers, and listen to what they ray. Yesterday a decree, containing four article.; of " King Miguel, our Master," was post ed up to aroc lerate and regulate the operation of the immense confiscation of the property of persons prosecuted for the crime of fidelity and patriotism. 1 1 The Official Gazette having at length been forced to announce, in the number of yesterday, the arrival of DOnna Maria 11. at Falmouth, the journal of the Usurper has made this singular observation on that subject—" Thus the Palmi:ilia faction have been able to deceive the conductors of the Princess, and to induce them not tocontinue their journey to Genoa, whither the persons appointed by the Emperor of Austria had proceeded to await her Highness. Pal mella has by this proceeding outraged his Sovereign. Sethi the two Leaders of the Anti-Portuguese Faction will receive the fruits of their infamous intrigues." We are assured that the Governmeut of the Usurper has just learned that the Emperor Don Pe dro had appointed a Regency, composed of seven Members, and which well be charged with support ing the rights of his daughter as Queen of Portugal, until she comes of age. Don Miguel havin g learned that M. Xi menez , Bishop of Mont e Video, who accompanied the young Queen to Europe, was proceeding to Rome, to procure from the Si;overeign Pontiff, in the same of Doe Pedro, the aim ~!ing of the alliance of his daughter Donna Maria da Gloria with Don Miguel, hes had recourse to the Cabinet of Madrid, that by the inte , v;:ntion of M. Labrador, the Minister cf Spain at the Court of Rome, he might make the greatest efforts to prevent M. Ximenez from succeed ing in his mission. The Spanish Cabinet has just intimated to Don Miguel, that orders had been ilk- patched to the Chevalier Labrador on that subject. It appears that the intention of the Usurper is to gain It is said that Don Pedro has announced by a cir cular, addressed to all :%linisters and Charges d'Af faires at Foreign Courts, the mission with which he has charged Bishop Ximenez, udding, that he for mally opposed himself to the marriage in question. PARIS, Nov. '2.—REGESERATIOti OF 1112 NISTRATIvN.—if there is a fact to be proved to de monstration, it is the necessity under which the Ministry finds itself placed, of regenerating an Ad ministration, created for the advantage of the coun ter-revolution, and which will never second with zeal and openness the Constitutional system. it ought to perceive, that if the course of affairs is embarrassed—if society is not peiferriy assured of the establishment and maintenance of the legal order, it must he attributed to the pregerwe of the agents of the ancient regime, who still occupy t,ll the places of the Administration. Nothing is changed in the Departmenta, where a calculated power of inertness is opposed to every attempt at amelioration. The faction still governs France by its agents, and every thing remains in a state of fearful immovabi lity. The plans of public utility, every thing which tends to the general prosperity, and particularly to the instruction of the citizens, is rejected with a I degree of perseverance which nothing discourages. So Lin; as the faction shall remain master of the } Adminiwation, it will preserve the hope of re placing us under the veke from which the energy of the Constituticnal Electors would have delivered us, if the present Ministry had seconded the na tional wish. It iR now out of doubt thA without our glorious expedition, in the true sense of the eypre.:sion, Ibrahim would ant have evacuated the Pe!open nesus ; but, according to the method, of the Turks, would have nepciated, in onlet to gain time and complete the destruction of Greece. The sight of the French flag has determined his departure; it is quite a pacific victory, which will hold an honour able place in the memory of nation!. On Tuesday le,st, while two of the minister's (of Dorncch) servants were• ttrpleyed is diging elay from a bank at the west end of the town of Dornoch, called Torran 'Roy, a I irge part at it suddenly fell upon one of several children who were amusing themselves near the spot at the time. It was not known at first who was the sufferer; but a number of people having collected, th body of a fine girl, daughter of the occupier of the mail-- coach receiving house, was dug out. Although medical aid was plomptly procured, all effi;rts to restore animation proved in, fl'ec•ual. The state of the agonized parents may I,: imagined, but cannot be described.—lrtrerncsa Journu!. NOLLEKENS, though usually so near, had his fits of liberality. When applied to by Mr. TURNER, the Royal Academich.c. for his subscription to "The Artists' Fund," he inquired how much he wanted from him ? " Only a guinea," was the answer ; upon which tile sculp tor immediately opened a table-drawer, and gave Mr. TIMNE R thirty guineas, saying, " There, take that." Mr. Itstr,v, the Royal Academician, was also equally surprised when be ,applied to him on behalf of " The Artists' Society." to which he was a subscriber. He is also said to have artist. given 201. a-year to an old an d di stresse d HORRIBLE GdoST.—For some days past we have heard much talk of Cr.e Nuneliam spectre, which makes its appearance in the neighbourhood of that village, on the Lt,,. don road, et midnight, and has been seen several times by the drivers, guards, and passengers of the Gloucester trail and other coaches.

LONDON. !THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 6, IP.Q6. Letters received at Havre from Rio de Janeiro, dated the .'";e.d September, bring accounts that the squadron under Admiral It ottsslN had put to sea again, after having completed the object of their voyage in a manner as spirited as it was decisive. The French are certainly most ad mirable diplomatists, infinitely superior to us, and for this reason, that they never trouble them selves with the grand notions of magnanimity which haunt. the generous mind of John Bull in all his dealings with foreign nations. A French nan is not ashamed to acknowledge that the glory of his nation consists in looking to self interest, while an Englishman affects to feel the interest of others as well as his own, and is too often taken at his word, to the great benefit of his neighbours and his own private mortification. But there is " magnanimity" in this, notwith standing, and that is a great consolation. By the French Papers we are glad to perceive that Mr. flusx ISSON Lad arrived in Paris, reno vated in health and constitution. The c:aptur© of Varna has diffused great joy at Odessa ; Lord HEYTESBUTtY had the un pleasant honour of first telling the news. The success of the French arms in Greece is received by the French people with the liveliest satisfac tion, and it is eulogise4.l by the Journals in terms of pride and triumph, while due honour is paid to the 31ini.stry for having originated the enter prize.

TUI FRONTIEP-S OF POLAND, OCT. 20. As the greater part of the Lithuanian corps of the army has now taken up quarters in the 'kingdom of Poland, the total amount of thP troops now as sembled in it is between 70 and 80,000 men ; the priu•Lipal portion stationed along the southern fron tier. Notwithstanding the prohibition to export corn to Turkish pot's, the price remains high as well at Odessa as in South Russia, Podolia,&c.; undoubt edly because the great demand for the army is ex pected to supply the loss of those markets. Even in the fertile provinces of Great P.ussia, as Kerc3k, Orel, Wuronesch, &e., the speculators are buying up corn to be sent to Odessa, as soon as the roads are practicable for sledges. A letter from St. Roque of the 16th oh. re presents the fever at Gibraltar as still increasing, and that in one.day 43 deaths had taken place, being the greatest number of sufTerers since the commencement of this fatal disease. The following is from Brussels Papers of yesterday's date, received this morning. The war in Jr; ;a seem.; to he as endless as the climate is unwholesome : BRUSSELS, NOV. 3. The Java Gazette of the 26th June, announces the departure of Lieut.-General Van Geen, who returns to the Netherlands, after a stay of eight years in Java, where he has performed important services, but greatly impaired his health. The number of the 28th June contains a report from the Lieut.-Governor General de Kock, dated Magellang, the 17th of June, from which it appears that our treops were engaged in erecting intrench ments in (damping, and that on the 12th June they had had a serious engagement with the insurgents, whom they succeeded in dispersing. Capt. Kruse man was slightly wounded in the leg, and some of the allied Javanese troops killed. It seems also that the enemy make frequent but fruitless attacks to hinder the construction of the entrenchments. Another dispatch from the Lieutenant-Governor General, dated Magellang, 19th June, states that the insurgents had made a vigorous attack on the posi tion held by the Pangerang Afangko Dinigrat, our ally, on the left bank of the Progo ; at the same tim e a body of 500 of the enemy attacked the camp of Major Bauer, but were repulsed with loss. The construction of the entrenchments continues. The same numbe r states that the rebels had been driven beyond the frontiers of the Residency of Pekalongang, after having reduced to ashes the village of Goenong Coegel. The Java Gazette contains detailed instructions fur the propecatiQo Qf the Napal plant and the CQ- \ • s • chineal, Bad she rawyke of naturalising tlao pleat and the insect in the island of Java. In the Second Chamber of the States-Genertal yesterday, a prcieet of law was presented for raising an additional loan of 15 millions of fiorin,..: if_r the East India colonies, to be guaranteed by the state in the same manner as the prewiing town of W") j 1 ~:~+-GW The present Number of " Blackweecel's Maga= eirie" seems deeply infected with all the pre-- ve!ing faults of this formerly spirited but now feeble publication. Besides the Noctes it con tains eleven long articles, most of which are dull, containing little amusement and still less instruc tion. We admire the easy and playful effusions of a fertile imagination, but we are soon wearied by elaborate vivacity and studied salliee of plea santry. Now this is the character of all the fanciful effusions in " Blackwood's Magasine." They are stiff and constrained ; they have no ease, sr natural grace ; and there is in all the sketehes which are given of life and manners a coarseness and an extravagance which own::: propriety, and go entirely beyond the modesty of nature. In those, more especially which are in tended to be humorous, every thing is over done and carried to an extreme ; quantity is substituted for quality ; and there is a quaintness, a conceit, ! and frequently a vulgarity and a grossness, which is revolting to good taste, and reminds us of the laborious efforts of would-be humorists ; a monthly contribution of merriment is too heavy a tax for the moot fruitful imagination. Hence the stream has run dry, and vain are all the attempts to replenish it from artificial channels. We need not enter into any particular examina tion of the articles which compose the present Number. Those on the subject of Ireland are in the usual strain of irrational violence and abuse of O'CONNELL, SUEIL, and the Papists, as they are called. The article " Shakspeare, a Tory and a Gentleman," is diffuse, desultory, and frequently not very intelligible. That "On the character of Hasnlet" has the usual fault of inordinate length, while nothing new is ad vanced on this hacknied subject. " The recol lections of a Poor Proscribed Animal, written by himself;" extends to the length of twenty pages, and seems throughout a mere tissue of unalloyed absurdity. The " Shaving Shop" is also long, and inexpressibly vulgar and senseless—all the vivacity, in short, which formerly distinguished this publication seems to have evaporated : there is one account of a Journal in the United States of America which is amusing; and the " Duellists" displays talent and consmiderable powers of de scription. We may observe, however, that the remarks on America breathe a spirit of national animosity which cannot be too strongly dis, couraged ; the comments also on the American tariff lately adopted, and the occasion thence taken to oppose the principles of free trade, deserve some notice. The writers itt " Blackwood" triumph greatly because America has taken up the system ' of commercial reitri-ctions which Great Britain has thrown away. But what does this prove, except that monopoly being always for the in terest of a few, these few have persuaded time American Legislature to sanction their selfish views. Do the philosophers in " B-laekwood." mean to argue that it is for the advantage ef the Americsan people that they shieuid he compelled to buy dear goods from their countrymen, rather than cheap goods from Great Britain ? That this is advantageous to the few who sell is obvious ; but is it not in the exact proportion injurious to the many who buy ? and whether, setting aside all consideration of justice, a Legislature should consult the interests of the few or the many, we leave our readers to judge. America finds monopoly a necessary defence against the supe riority of tie British manufacturer. The rude American artisans are undersold on equal terms in their own market by the greater skill of the British ; and they require prohibitory duties to shield them from the unequal competition. But because they, on account of their weakness, shrink from the contest with Britain, and impose re strictions, is that a reason why Great Britain should follow the example, and also impose re strictions ? Is the policy of the stronger and the weaker party the same ? If America is forced to defend herself, by monopoly, against the too powerful competition of Britain, is not this a clear proof that Britain requires not the aid of these contrivances; and that what may be useful to America for her own narrow objects, would he a mere encumbrance to Britain ? As to all that is said of the progress of art and in dustry in America, does any man imagine that improvement ran he prevented among an enter prising people? Those who believe this must have more faith in the effect of human contriv ances to controul and keep b.ick the energies of a rising people than either reason or experience seem to justify. Hamburgh Papers of the 30th ult. contain the following article upon the unequal duties of Norwegian and other timber : LOWBR ELBE, OCT. 21. It is affirmed, that on the 12th inst. the Hano verian regiment of infantry entered the district of Thedinghausen, belonging to Brunswick, and was followed on the same day by a detachment of Hu lane. The consequence of this military occupation is looked for with impatience. CHRISTIANIA, OCT. 18. Before the opening of the late Storthing in March last, M. J. H. Thorne, of Drammen, inserted in the mercantile journal of that place an article tending to prove the absolute necessity of doing something in favour of the export trade of timber, which seeme to N"N, ~ •X N,, Nik , en the eve of total "ruin. After pahitiogin gloowy colours - th.e. s , itiration of all persous 4.-ounaeted with this trade, he conclude' by stating his (Tinian that the only remedy would ba to obtain, by means' of diplomatic negociations with Great Britain, the advantage that " Norwegian timber should not pay higher import duties in Great Britain t h an t h at o f all the rist of Europe," lie then proceeds to slsow that the disadvantage which accrues to Norway arises from the ciiderenee in the breadth and length of the Christiania timber and that of Prussia and Russia, the former being narrower and shorter. A Norwegian deal cif or 9 inches broad pays the same duty as a Baltic plank of 20 inches. tie, however, ir. his comparison, ris surnes the average breadth of the latter to be 11 inches. The difference in the length is equally ruinous ; a deal of six feet 'length pays the same duty as one of s'x'zeen feet, and the latter a.s one of twenty-on. feet. He institutes a comparison between a Chris tiania and a Baltic cargo, each of 10,000 planks, the former on an average 13 feet long and nine inehes broad, the latter 15 feet long and 11 inches broad. The duty on each being 191. for 120, the difference is 3451. 9s. Id. on account of the breadth, and 2531. 6s. Bd. On account of the length ; in all, 598/. 153. 9d. to the disadvantage of the NorsNegian cargo, though the assumed difference in the size of the planks is only two inches in breadth and two feet in length. The Editor of the Journal intimates, that some years ago negociations had been commenced in England on the subject ; and it is added that,aerord ing to the most recent aneounts from London, there was reason to believe that the English Ministry is disposed to listen to the representations made to it, but whether the Parliament will be favourable is another question.

CANVAS INIMottTALITY.—A late Kentish Baronet, in order to' till up a side of his dining-room, and insure some place in the remembrance of his posterity, de termined on having a laree family picture painted by one of the first artists of the day, which should have the addi tional merit of covering more canvas than any other pio ture in the county. The painting of course comprised a likeness of the Baronet, with that of his Lady, his chil dren, and some other branches of the family, all grouped with the well-known taste of Sir WILLIAM BEUCHRY. The lady, however, happened to die, and the Baronet mar ried again, when the head of the first wife was rather un ceremoniously obliterated, and the likeness of the second placed on the same bust ; that of the first being introduced anew in the picture as a portrait hanging against the wall. The second lady, however, died also, and the Baronet married again, when the head of the second wife shared the same fate as that of the first, was obliterated, and the likeness of the third wife assumed its place, that of the second being still preserved in the piece, as a seraph looking from above. This taste for can vase immortality seems hereditary in the family, -and to descend as an heir-loom, with the otehr family honours, like the representation of the county, since it is reported the present Baronet has it in cOntemplation to fill np the opposite compartment of the dining-room, with another painting of like dimensions, representing the late meeting on Penenden Heath, in which he is to be the central figure surrounded by his " Noble Friend" the Furl of Winchelsea, Par nobile fratrum, and the rest of the Brunswick worthies who figured there with equal gratification to themselves and amusement to the public. The subject and position of the second pic ture will be in excellent keeping , with the first, since an Ultra-Protestant son will figure on one , side, while the likeness of the Catholic Lady, his mother, still holds a place on the other. We have not heard the name of the artist to be employed,_we should suggest, howevea, that \Value would do the greatest possible justice to stich a piece, since Plouartam is no more. It is rumoured in Holland that the marriage of the Princess MARIANNE of the Netherlands with Prince GusrAvus, ion of the ex-Kin;; of SWEDEN, will not take place. It is not generally known that Drury Lane and Covent Garden Theatres were each in possession of a tragedy written by Miss MITFORD; and that immediately PRICE put in rehearsal Rienzi, FAwcarr, no less active, distributed the characters of the other. Mrs. PINDAE, formerly of the Brighton Theatre, and who played Joliet at Covent Garden for one night, Wits assigned the heroine, but on rehearsing it she broke down ; otherwise the very night which produced Rienzi at Drury Lane, would have given birth to an offspring of the same muse at Covent Ganien, a thing unprece !ented in the annals of the stage, that two new tragedies, by the same authoress, should be played at the principal theatres fur the first time on the same night.
