FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. . (From the Constitutionnel of Sunday, Sept. ) FRONTIERS OF SPAIN, AUG. 25.—A1l the troops cantoned in the province of .GUipuscoa, both in the interior and on the coast, except JOO men who were left at Santona, have assembled within these few days a Tolosa, to be sent to Catalonia. By virtue of an article of the capitulation, the militia of Guipuscoa have. just received orders to take. up arms in the same manner as when the country is declated to be in danger. Last night a Neapolitan Cabinet Messenger passed the Bidassoa, proceeding with all speed to Madrid. He said that the state of Catalonia obliged him to go so far out of his way. PARIS, SEPT. I.—The following letter from Bar celona, . 'the subject of the suppression of the Po lice, iS quoted by the Echo du Midi:—An extra ordinary courier brought yesterday an order from the King, for the suppression of the Police. That brunch of the Administration is conjoined with the Ministry of Grace and Justice. • The gens-dierme attached to the Police of Barcelona were summoned yesterday at mid-day to the head-office, under the pretext of reviewing their arms and baggage. After they had assembled, the Royal order was made known to them, and they were called on to lay down their arms, their baggage, their cloaks, 'and their Police hats. To-day, it is said, comes the turn of the Commissaries and Inspectors. The pa pers of the head-office have all been sealed lip.• It was M. Oguate who came from Madrid in. the qua , ity of Sub-delegate. The pastoral letter of the Bishop of Gerona, with a view to restore peace, has been productive of good effects. The proclamation of the Tribunul of the Real Audience, explains the motives of which the malcontents (agraviedos) take advantage. The pro clamation has been published, and with that view inserted in the newspapers. At the same time; the approaching arrival of some troops, destined to re store peace to the province, has been announced ; 700 cavalry passed through to Saragossa six days ego. The malcontents still continue their exactions; they impose contributions, and carry off horses arid arms, with which they appear to be indifferently pro vided. The diligence coming from France meets almost every day some party in the environs of Tor dere. They merely ask if there are any Spaniards in the vehicle, and on receiving a reply in the ne gative, it is allowed to proceed. This interruption happened only four days ago to Gen. D'Arbaudmi son and Doctor Delpch, of Montpellier, on the road to Perpignan. (From the Journal des Debats.) MADRID, AUG. 22.—The Royal Decree of the 14th instant, for the re-organization of the police, commences thus : _ _ _ Experience having demonstrated that:the general police, created and organized by my decree of the 6th of January, and by the regulation of the 20th of February, 1824, wants the unity and simplicity re quired in order to secure the end which. I proposed for the public welfare; and that the taxes levied for this service may be diminished, so as to alleviate the burdens which weigh upon my beloved subjects, by reducing the number of officers and their pay, as I have determined shall take place in all the branches of the Government, whereby a proper balance may be established between the receipts and expenditure of my Royal Treasury, I have resolved to modify the said decree and regulation by introducing the alterations and explanations contained in the annexed articles." The articles referred to, which are twenty-six in number, contain amongst other arrangements; the following :-- " The general superintendence of the police is at tached ,to the office of the Minister of Grace and Justice, whose functions in the provinces are to be exercised, under his direction, by officers to be de nominated sub-delegates. These sub-delegates are to be nominated by the King,being proposedby the super intendent ; the subordinate officers are to be nominated by the superintendent on the proposal of the sub delegates. The duties of the police are defined a these :—to be on the watch to discover 'conspira cies, within and without the kingdom, against legi timate order and the safety of the State; to draw pp exact accounts of the condition of the people; to grant passports, licences, &c., to merchants, iti nerant or .foreign ; also to rope-dancers, puppet shows, &e. The poliee is also charred, concur rently with the Courts of Justice, with the sui veillanee of 'taverns 'and other places of public re sort; also with preventing the introduction into the kingdom. of unauthorised books, and with the sei zure of such as may have been introduced, delivering up the offenders to the tribunals competent to punish them ; also with the duty of arresting such persons AS utter obscene or blasphemous words, or such as are insulting to the Royal Majesty . ; of pursuing rob. bers and members of secret societies, &c. grc. The pace is to be in future divested of the superintend ence of Letting the streets at night, and certain other details 'of municipal 'administration. " According to the former police regulations, per sons who were arrested could be kept. in confine ment for eight days, and in cases of conspiracy inde finitely, without being brought before a tribenal ; by the present decree they are to be brought before the tribunals within three days. The price of a protec tion (carte de stireti) which every Spaniard is bound to :obtain from the police, is reduced from four to two reels. •The price of some of the licences is also redneedone-third." • - , 4Fronf the Gazette de France, dated Monday, Sept. a.) (EXTRACT V.R.OSI A MERCANTILE LETTER.) SMYSNA, AtJO.4.--7Since. yesterday our city has been in an agitation', which may give every un prejudiced observer a correct notion of the irritation of the Turks towards the Christian Powers, and particularly Russia. In the market-places, the streets, and the coffee-houses, we hear only the joy,. , ful exclamation " Victory of the Persians over the Russians." People, cordially shake hands with each other, as if the Porte had gained A victory, and a lively interest in public events hitherto nnknown .among the natives of the East manifests itself aiTong all classes of people. ,It appeari that news arrived yesterday morning horn Bagda,J,that the Russians had been completely beaten on the 12th of July by the Persians, under the walls of Etivan. To give more appearance of authenticity to this news, which is very improbable, it is added that several - English travellers wits left £rivan on the 16th of July had confirmed this news at t h e o ffice of the Consulate, and t.iats' they asserted t h at a bout ,56,060 Versians were in Plinajt. of the Russians, who were retreatiug; by forced marches, Nothin ca n be compared w i t h the j o y m anifested by the Tusks at these reports. The Christians who live g.it Smyrna see but too clearly wbat threatens them; ii the Porte shonid scifer any. reve,rse from their Christie brethren. — Geroas.Rper..

The appointment of Mr. Husicrssox as Co lonial Secretary, and of Mr. CHARLES GRANT as President of the Board of Trade, was Gazet ted last night. Some surprise has been expressed by persons not acquainted with the forms of office, that Mr. HERRIF.S was not also Gazetted as Chancellor of the Exchequer ; but although that Right Hon. Gentleman received the Seals of the Exchequer 'on Saturday, and kissed his MAJESTY'S hand on the occasion, the notifica tion of his appointment cannot be inserted in the Gazelle until the necessary forms have been gone through for issuing Letters Patent constituting him Chancellor and under Treasurer of the Ex chequer. A notification will also then appear in the Gazette of the new Treasury Board, of which Viscount GODERICH, and Mr. HERRIES as Chancellor of the Exchequer, will be the first and second Lords Commissioners ; and another notification of the appointment of Mr. GRANT as Treasurer of the Navy. Mr. FRANRLAND - LEWIS has been appointed one of the Joint Se cretaries to the Treasury ; but it is not yet decided by whom the office of Vice-President of the Board of Trade shall be filled. The French Papers of Sunday, and the Ga zette de France, of Monday morning, reached us last night. Their contents are unimportant. A letter from Smyrna, indeed, copied from a German Paper, into the Gazette de France, states, that accounts had reached that place of the Russian troops employed against the Persians having sustained a signal defeat on the 12th July, under the Walls of Erivan: The authen ticity of the accounts is, however, doubted ; but they had been received by the Turks with every demonstration of joy, so strong is the - feeling of enmity to the Russians which has been engen dered amongst the subjects of the SULTAN. Preparations are making for the departure of the King of FRANCE on his intended tour; and, if his MAJESTY'S presence in the different towns through which he is to pass does not excite real joy am ongst the inhabitants, every public mani festation of satisfaction is, at all events, to be made. Extracts are given in another column. We have received this morning Dutch Papers of the 4th inst., by which we learn that D on MIGUEL still resides at Baden, in the vicinity o f Vienna.• The understanding was that he would set out about the middle of this month for Por tugal, taking Paris and Madrid in his way.., Whatever be the assurances of Austria that she will not interfere in the conduct of Don MIGUEL after his return to his native country, we feel persuaded, from the general pol ic y of Austria, that she will not only look with a favourable eye upon the motions of the AUGUST INFANT, but that she has already chalked out his career, and the whole complexion of his future p r oceedings. Don MIGUEL has not been all this time spen4ing his time for nothing, under the fostering guardianship of that arch. hypoerite and evasive politician, Prince METTEttwit—the avowed foe of every gene rous prin c ipl e an d - liberal institution. The . projected visit of the Prince of Okt4NgE to St. Omer, as the Representative of his Father, hogiyen rise to several political conjectiires ; y is said to be only o ne of coitr wbuie , th tp e ore j tae ot,ir the on it at nvitation Reviews. e s e . inc of FRANCE, to • It ap pears that young NAPOLEON labours at present under inuisposnion, but the disease is not mentioned ; FILANKXORT, AI . o• 31.

The Duke of Reichstadt, son of Napoleon, has also been itlispristsi, and is still daily attended by his physician. BRUSSFI.S, seer. 1. The conjecture that the fire in the House of Correction at Vilvorden was not accidental, is much confirmed by the circumstance that the flames burst out nearly at the same time in two parts of the building very distant from cad. other. The 31unicipal Government is taking every mea sure for discovering the truth, and it has been resolved to remove a certain number of prisoners to Brussels and other places. Four of them, who are par ticularly suspected of having been the incendiaries, are placed in strict confinement. It seems certain that his Royal Highness the Prince of Orange, who has re turned to this city from Hainault, will go in a few days to the camp at St. Omer, where a hotel has been hired for his Royal Highness. Here as well as at Paris and London, various conjectures are afloat respecting this journey, which some persons suppose to be connected with political oh jects ; others, who think themselves better informed, affirm that this is by no means the case, but that his Royal High ness merely goes as the representative of the King, his fa ther, who has been invited, they say, by the King of France to be present at the reviews, but has excused him self on account of his manifold occupations. His Royal ' Highness will be accompanied by his Aid-de-Camp, Lieu tenant-Colonel Cruykenborg, and Major Dumorceau. }L SETT. 2.

Yesterday proved a dull day for business at the Stock Exchange, and this morning seems likely to be, if. possible, of a less interesting nature ; the only foreign mail which arrived is from Hamburgh ; and, as the wind continues fresh from the North East, nothing can be expected from elsewhere ; in the mean time there seems no spirit in the Con sol market, which opened at 874 for account, and receded to 871 d ; they are now 87.1 with a dull appearance; the continuation is on the decline, the price for money being 871 ; the Commissioners making their purchase at 871; India Bonds are 93 5, and Exchequer Bills, 61 2 pm.; money in the City still continues plentiful.

A horse, belonging to Mr. Hall, horse-dealer, of Heavitree, late in July, ascended to the hay loft, up a flight of thirteen stairs, three feet wide, and where he was discovered, taking it coolly, with his head protruding from the tallet window. _ _ —Annals of :Sporting: ORIGIN OF THEATRICAL BENEFITS.— Mrs. Barry is recorded as the first performer, male or female, who ever had, what is now un derstood by the term, a benefit. This privilege was procured for her through the influence of James 11., and she alone possessed it until just before the commencement Of the eighteenth cen tury. The p o verty of the divided theatrical companies then induced the managers to employ this e xpedient for paying their actors and actresses more directly out of the pockets of the public ; and it not unfrequently happened (at least the performers made the accusation) that the paten tees appropriated to themselves all the proceeds, under the pretext of house-expences, and left the performers to their remedy. SAGACITY OF ELEPHANTS.—EIephants in peace and war know their duty, and are more obedient to the word of command than many rational beings.—lt is said they can travel, on an emergency, two hundred miles in forty-eight hours ; but will hold out for a month at the rate of forty or fifty miles a day, with cheerfulness and alacrity.— ,, I performed," said Forbes, in his Oriental ' Memoirs, b ` y ‘ mßaangyobal gtojColonel ourneys upon an elephant, given eating ; nothing could exceed the sagacity , docility, and affection of this noble long X g nadruped ; if I stopped, to enjoy a prospect, he rem ained im moveable until my sketch was finished ; if I wished for, ripe mangos growing out of the com mon reach, he selected the most fruitful branch, and breaking it off with his trunk, offbred it to the driver for the company in the houdah, ac -1 cepting of any part given to himself with a re spectful salam, by raising his trunk three times above his head, in the manner of the Oriental obeisance, and as often did he express his thanks by a murmuring nOise. When a bough ob structed the houdah, he twisted his trunk around it, and though of considerable Magnitude, broke it GS with ease, and often gathered a leafy branch, either to keep off the flies, or as a fan to agitate around hi m , by waving it with his trunli; he generally paid a visit to the tent door during breakfast, I to pro ere sugar-candy or fruit, and to b e cheered b the i uoiniums and caresses y ei , . . . he . deservedly met with.

BARBAROUS MURDER AT PRESTON. (FROM OUR OIVII REPORTER.) The dreadful sensation that was produced in this town by the inhuman murder of Scott and his wife, by their own daughter, had no sooner subsided, than the inhabi tants were again thrown into the greatest consternation by the_ perpetration of another diabolical murder, on Saturday night or early on Sunday morning last, not half a dozen doors from the house where the ill-fated pair resided. A poor old man, named Edward Gregson, who kept a small chandler's-shop,in Bridge-street, some few weeks back took compassion upon a youth whom chance threw in his way, who was in the most abject distress, and the old ►nan permitted bins to come backwards and forwards to the house, and his table was always at his service—and it is believed he is the fiend beneath whose hand his benefactor has fallen a victim. Late on Saturday night last, the old man's brother, his son, two other friends, and the suspected person, were at his house, and drank two quarts of ale, and about 11 o'clock they went "away, the stranger going out first, not stopping for the rest. The old man said he should go to bed directly, and desired his son to call for him next morning, to go to the Roman Catholic Chapel. The son then went home, and heard his father fasten his door. Next morning (Sunday) about 11 o'clock, he called, and found the door open : be called his father several times, and not receiving any answer, he went up stairs, when to his horror, he beheld the mangled body of his aged parent stretched across the bed, dead and cold. The affrighted youth ran into the street, calling "murder, murder !" as ? f ood as he was able; and it being church time, vast crowds of persons flocked to the dreadful spot. The constables of the town soon came, and Thomas Miller, Esq., the Mayor, was instantly made acquainted with the san guinary deed. The Mayor directed that instant inquiry should be made about the town, as to what strangers were about, and whether any persons were seen about the house during the night, or early on Sunday morning ; but we re gret to say, all efforts to trace the assassin have as yet proved fruitless. The murdered man, when discovered by his son, was deluged in blood : be was partly dressed in his Sunday clothes, so it would appear the horrid act was committed •not many hours, when young Gregson went to the . house. There were two dreadful wounds in the throat, and the poor old man's hands were nearly cut to pieces, as if done by his grasping the instrument with which the murder was effected. It was always thought Gregeon had a horde of money, and it is, therefore, believed that that was the object the villain had in view, in taking the old man's life, as all the drawers and other places, have been ransacked. Search has been made every where for the youth who was fostered by the deceased while living, and nothing whatever can be heard of him. INQUEST ON THE BODY. A respectable Jury was empannelled on Monday morn ing at eleven o'clock, by THomAs MILLE'', Esq. the Mayor and Coroner, at the Town Hall, to enquire into the cir cumstances connected with the horrid affair. As, how ever, few or no additional particulars transpired that could at all elucidate the mystery, the Inquest was adjourned for a fortnight.

CATERPILLARS.---It is recommended to shake a little hellebore (powdered) on trees infected with the caterpillar. This being done, the caterpillars will all disappear. The remedy is cheap and easy; a small quantity of hellebore will do for each tree.—Edinburgh Paper. • SINGULAR COINCIDENCE.—In the obituary this week are recorded the deaths of two individuals at Boston, on the same day, of the same Christian and sur names, (the latter rather a remarkable one), and of nearly the same age. They were both interred on Sunday, and their graves were not more than the distance of a foot apart. —What add. to the singularity is that they were not vela• tives.—Boston Gazette. PROJECTED LAW LIBRARY IN LIVER- FooL.—On Saturday week a meeting of some of the most respectable members of the legal profession, in this town, took place at the Clarendon-buildings, Joshua Lace, ESQ. in the chair, to consider the expediency or forming a com plete Library of Law Books for the geneti..4 - use of the pro fession. The want of a library of this kind has been long felt; it being nearly impossible, from the immense number of law books to which the practioner ought to have access, and the high price at which they are generally sold, that any individual solicitor could provide himself with an ade quate stock of legal lore. The meeting, on Saturday, re solved that such a library should be formed, to be called " The Liverpool Law Library," and a committee was ap pointed to consider of the regulations under which it should be placed.—Liverpool Albion. CHARACTERISTIC ANECDOTEOF AN ARAB. —My conversation with Abdulla Aga was interrupted by the arrival of a medical gentleman, who had long resided at Abusheher, and who was not more remarkable for skill in his profession than a . kindness of heart, which led him to devote his time to the poor inhabitants of the country who sought his aid. He had just been setting the broken leg of an Arab, of whom he gave us a very characteristic anec dote. " The patient (the doctor said) complained more of the accident which bad befallen him than I thought be coming in one of his tribe. This I remarked to him, and his answer was truly amusing. Do not think, doctor, I should have uttered one word of complaint if my own high bred colt, in a playful kick, had broke both my legs ; but to have a bone broken by a brute of a jack-ass, is too bad and I will complain.' "—Sketches of Persia. About a fortnight ago, a young woman of the name of Margaret M'Kisser, servant to a farmer near Fraserburgh, died 4er a very few hours' illness, and after her interment suspicions having arisen that her death had been occasioned by poi son, a warrant was granted by the sheriffto disin ter her body, for medical inspection.. The con tents of her stomach have also undergone exa mination by several gentlemen in Aberdeen, eminent as . chemists ; and the Sheriff's Substi tute and Procurator Fiscal of Aberdeenshire, having since repaired to Fraserburgh, and brought the judicial investigation to a close, a warrant has been granted' by the sheriff to commit John Lovie, in. whose service the woman was, to Aberdeen gaol, till he stand trial on the charge of having poisoned her.—Aberdeen Journal. Captain Lloyd's and Captain Anstruther's companies of the 73d Regiment, with the Pay master, Adjutant, Lieutenants Seymour, God frey, Harvey, and Pinckney, band, &c. marched from Fermoy to Middleton on Friday last, under the command of Colonel O'Connell, and em barked in a steam-boat, which conveyed them to the Cove, where they were put im board the Fanny transport, which is to take 230 of the r egiment to Gibraltar. Th e two r e ma i n i ng di visions are to eml)arlc in a few days on board the _Nom and Lord sqfiield transports, under the command of Major Drewe and Captain Hough ton. The first division sailed on Monday for Gibraltar, and yesterday morning the second 4i vision embarked for the same destination.—,Li merick Chronicle , Two MEALS A-DAY.—In his late address at the Franklin Institute at Philadelphia, Mr. Owen said—" I had been accustomed to have my three meals a.zday ; but when I went to New Harmony, I was told by some that two meals a -d a y would answer; and you know that law fond of experiments, so I began to take one meal in the morning at seven, Ct'cloci, and another at five o'clock in the afternoon : and I consider it seriously, as it regards myself, one of the greatest discoveries that I ever made; and I enjoyed these two meals more than I did all the meals that I took before. So that I consider this single discovery, just for myself, worth more than all the money that I have expended there. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.
