FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS, (From the Gazette di France of Satarday.) BRODY, Nov. 25.—1 t is said that scvtosal Polish officers of the staff and engineershev received Order s to go to Jassy, in order to mite part in the Councils which are going to be held on the subject of the next campaign. As there are many officers in the Polish - army, who are perfectly acquainted with the mode of carrying on war with the Turks, such a choic e cannot but be advantageous. It is also affirmed that several Poles, employed in the finance and victualling departments, .have :been _ summoned to St. Peters , . burgh by M. Cencrin, the Minister of nuance. Four thousand fresh troops have been sent to Gene • ral Geismar. It seems that the men who were em ployed in the siege of Silistrin are going to winter in the Principalities, and that earliest measures are in contemplation for the organiattien or these pro vinces. This resolution cannot fail to be very agree able to the inhabi;ants, and particularly to the Boyards, who appear to have nothing so much at heart ever since the arrival of the Russian troops, and were even willing to make a loan abroad. Several merchants in th neighbouring State! had sent travellers to Sassy, to make themselves ac quainted with the wants of the Russian 'troops.— We haws since learnt that these houses intend to take the contracts. for light cloths and leather, for acconnt of the Russian Government, the result of which will be advantageous to our market. On the other hand, contracts have been made in Russia it self, with private persons, for supplying the Russian army with provisions next year. Letters from Jassy say that the stormy season ren dering the navigation of the Black Sea very diffi cult, it has been determined at Odessa to employ light vessels which can keep close in with the coast, to convey supplies to the Turkish fortresses on the Black Sea which are in the hands of the Russians. A company is also formed for the navigation of that sea by steam-boats. PARIS, DEC. 19.—Nothing has yet transpired (says the Journal ells Commerce) respecting the Council held yesterday, in which it seems that the affeir of Hayti was very warmly discussed. It is merely ssid, that the negociations with th e E nv oy of Hayti will be-continued, but it is not said whether the proposals that wilt be made to him-Will be within the limits of the ability of the Republic. The nue& tion, Whether the French Ministry will expose itsell or not to• a ruptute With frOyti,, is precisely equiva lent to this--will it content.itself with what Hayti can pay, or will it requite more (Prom the , Courier Fraricait) PARIS, DEC. 19.-;--The Gazette of yesterday gives the following staternerte; which we dO not aatarantee —" The increased ietNitY - lately noticed in the de partment of foreitir affaikit afipcirrs to have induced a Foreign Ambassador • to use hifliience to in sroduce into the Ministry a ,person favoUrable to the interests of Russia, Such are the causes which have led a Minister to alter his views, who does not desire that-the Ministry of M.

If the ,question, whether Winter would restore peace to the East, were to be decided by the mutual interests of the belligerents, we should have peace, for both need repose. The Turks are brave, and have just proved that they have riot degenerated. They are yet susceptible of that religious enthusiasm which works miracles. The nature of the soil and the climate, and the firm character of Nlahinotrd s have been of great service to them, and leave no hope of forcing him to make concessions. The resistance ;Jr -the Mussulmans has been glorious in the late cam paign; it will be obstinate should the war be renewed. Turkey, however, could not long sus t a i n t h e contest . The elements o f her military power are yet rude, and require to he fashioned. Her regular army is sprung from the midst of convulsions which deluged the capital with blood, and of which the consequences ray yet be felt. Despotism governs Russia as well as Turkey, but in the former it is more tempered by a furtheradvanced eivilizaticm . than in the latter. The Czars have long established a regular military force, and a system which bringi it nearer to order and re gularity. Its finances are in a bad state. The population of Russia is about 44,000,000,and yet its provinces are depopulated, and there is a want of homogenity iia languages, manners, and customs. Its force must not be measured by the number of its inhabitants. Its army of 800,000 is now reduced, and justly, to the half of that number. Russia, in her present state, does no t need conquests, b ut a good domestic administration —the abolition of slavery, the dill'usion of education, and'improVeinents in agriculture and other arts. Its complaints against the Porte are mere pretexts for niAking war. 'I he deliverance of Greece is now accomplished, ana for Russia to pro secute the war would be to betray her secret ambis Lion. A se con d cam paign would di ss i pate all ti e prejudices w hi c h yet rema in in favour of her mode ration and magnanimity, and would show that the Emperor Nicholas is proceeding straight forward to attain t'see completion of th e g i ga ntic plans of Pet er the Great and Catherine. Austria ties not like the war on her frontiers, and likes the Turks for neighbours. The Court or. Vienna, which loves repose, sleeps in peace by the side of Pachtlieks.-- England is not pleased with the pretensions of Russia, and with her own idleness ; and,. if provo- Iced, may prevent, by force of arms, the capture of Constantinople. France will only interpose to pro cure peace--her policy is conciliatory. It is not sup. posed that Prussia wishes to see Russia aggrandised. —On every aide we think that pradente arid reason advise peace, but only pride and Interested flatterers, 'who advise war, will, we are afraid, be heard. (Prism the Constitiaionne/.) TOULON, DEC. 13.--The Lamproie ship of 0..ar l Captain Bezard, will sail to-morrow for Navarin, Laving: Under convoy a merchant Vessel laden with provisions, for the army of the Morea. Five'officers end six suldiers belongin g to the engineer corps go in her. A park of artillery from Grenoble is ex pected here. Two corvettes are to be • built here, one of which. is to called the D upetit-Thouare, alter the celebrated mariner of that name. A son of M. de Vitrolles has been tried for an assault on one es' the Officers of Health, but acquitted. , BARCELONA, DEC, —.—The rage of the Aposto licals is not yet appeased. Sixteen other Constitu tionalists in the dungeons of the citadel are looking for their last hour, and perhaps the execution will take place this.day. Persecution is the order of th e day in Catalonia ; all passports for foreign countries, and particularly for France, are reftised. Travellers who arrive from the other side of the Pyrenees, have both the day and the hour fixed by the police at which they must leave this place. Our fine city is begun to be depopulated, and very soon it will be come an inhospitable spot—thanks to the rage of an emigrant Frenchman, and to a Spanish Priest, his counsellor, who is the most immoral man in existence.

I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, (Signed) DUNGLAS. To Messrs..Meihuish and Co. The Catholic Metther for Clare has, it aeerns, announced his intention of taking his seat in the House on the very first night of the Parlia mentary Sessions. This is a judicious resolu tion ; it argues ninterity and earnestness, and proves that Mr. O'CONNELL is really desirous of bringing, one way or other, the question of Emancipation to an immediate crisis: Had he delayed, as wls t riginally intended, from some inadequate motive of etiquette, or scarcely understood prudence, till the latter end of ' February or the beginning of March; he would have conveyed the idea, if not of insincerity, at least of lukewarmness in the cause. The Eng lish mind, he should remember, is prepared for a crisis-4 is prepared to see the question of his eligibility to sit in Parliament at once decided ; should he thwart this expectation, however ra tional to himself may appear the grounds for his delay, he will assuredly subject himself to much distrust and obloqity: AdViiidtte sill alao ht taken of his apparent sang froid. It will be argued, as it was in the case of the Dissenters, that because he has been backward in canvassing . , • . his eligibility, his grievances must be propor tionably slender; for who, whether it be a na tion or an individual, would sit idly looking on, when their dearest interests are at stake, more especially when it remains with themselves at once to moot the point—whether they shall still continue slates, ur rise to the dignity of freemen ? Delay under such circumstances; howtver plausihlo, he reason, is injudicious—it is worse than in 'udicious, it is dangerous—it is wet-se than dan gerous, it is suspicious. Mr. O'CoNNEtr, need br: the l to bring on the great question, which must necessarily grow out of the minor one of his own personal eligibility, from the eirouni ' stance of itB havilig already rialidtt Stich fa; vourable .progress throughout England. In Yorkshire the Brunswick Clubs have failed—in Kent their venom has been neutralized—in the West Of England they lire hitighed at, so so, that Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE himself— et tu, Brute ! is loath to have any thing to do with them ; and even in Ireland they appear, if we may judge from reports, to have dwindled into comparative insignificance. The sun of Orange dbspotisiii now cheers only the North with its scant and frozen rays. It is also an additional argUinent iti fa; tour of Mr. O'CONNELL'S success, that not-. Withstanding the reports so widely circulated dining the' dpiniort. the minds of many of our hitherto staunchest Protestant supporters in the Cabinet, not one has thought fit; directly or indirectly, t o contra dict them ; while, on the contrary, those fe..;, have been suspected of deserting the Catholic banners, have promptly and indignantly denied the tiiith kf Alielt aiiseitioiiiL The ihroiving tip of a straw, it is said, will chew which way the riro fits i ppcpritrl(lic!ed rumours have, we , think, the mine eirect on the present occasion. CharNMl Papets or the 22d tilt. contain tic. counts from St: AugUstine respecting the cul tivation of Sugar in liorida, which ate very favourable. The Planters are in high spirits at the flattering prospects before then, and anti rI- . •_. . • pate very p rofitabl e returns from the presettt peardnce of the sugar-cane.
