FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, OCT. 21.—The king transacted busi mess yesterday with the Duke de Richelieu, and afterwards went to St. Cloud. The Duke de Talleyrand Perigord, Cardinal Archbishop of Paris, died yesterday morning, aged 85. The accounts from Perpignan, dated the 11th instant, give very afflicting details respecting the situation of Barcelona. It appears that all the quarters of the town were infected, together with the villages within the cordon. The mortality - was very considerable. The Bishop is amongst the number of the victims. The reports respecting the existence and ra vages of the yellow fever at Malaga are con tradicted. The number of deaths at Barcelona are esti mated at from 10 to 15,000. Letters from Saragossa of the 3d state, that Mequinenza is the only town in Arragon ravaged by the yellow fever, and that a cordon had been stationed round it. Dr. Andouara, sent by the Minister of War to Barcelona, left Toulouse on the 13th for the former town. FR ENCiI FUNDS. Oct. 20, Five per Cents Bar .k Sttick 89 f. 80 c. 1590 f. c. 22.—The King yesterday received the Ministers, several Marshals, Generals, and Mili tary Officers of all ranks, and Prince Castelcicala, the Neapolitan Ambassador. Letters from Leghorn of the 9th, and from Florence of the 10th, make no mention of the contagious disorder said to have manifested.itself on the coast of Tuscany ) and especially at Leghorn. Letters from Perpignan of the 13th state that news had been received from Barcelona as late as the 9th, on which day the French Physicians had arrived in that unfortunate town, and were welcomed with the most enthusiastic gratitude by the inhabitants : the arrival of these courageous physicians had inspired general confidence. They began by demanding that the cordon, establish ed at a league's distance round Barcelona, should be extended to two leagues, in order that the in habitants may encamp outside the town, expe rience having proved that those persons who took this precaution have escaped the contagion. The number of deaths in Barcelona from the 7th of September to the 6th of October, amounted to upwards of 10,000. A letter has just been received at Paris from Barcelona, dated the 10th, written by one of the French physicians, M. Bally, of which the following is an extract :—" The disorder con tinues its ravages. We are very quiet ; the weather is remarkably fine, and we can scarcely conceive it possible to be ill under such a beau tiful sky. We have plenty of provisions. The number of deaths is estimated at from 10,000 to 15,000. The sick multiply daily, and 'yester day we were called to visit one in a dreadful state ; it was too late, he died this morning." ODESSA, SEPT. .24.—Letters from Petersburgh, of the 16th, r( peat the report circulated in the capital, that our Cabinet has declined the pro position of Austria and England, relative to a Congress to deliberate on the affairs of Turkey. .A.t:Gsßulton, OcT. 15.—ft is regarded as cer tain that the King of Prussia will proceed imme diately to the frontiers of his States, to-have an interview with his Britannic Majesty. FRANKFORT, OCT. 14.—1 t is reported that the Court of Austria has withdrawn the propo sals for a loan of 30,000,000 florins. OCT. 15.—A Russian Courier, arrived this morning at Vienna, has brought intelligence, that the Emperor of Russia would arrive on the 30th Sept. at the head-quarters at Minsk. Om 16.—We learn from the Banks of the Vistula, under date the 25th of September, that there is no longer any talk about a Congress or a Mediation, nor any doubt that the determination of Russia is immutable. All Europe cannot pre vent Russia from invading Turkey, if such is her intention ; the opportunity is favourable, her military forces are great beyond conception, and have reached a high state of perfection. VIENNA, Our. 10.—The States of Austria have opened their Session ; .the Members of the Diet are arrived, and a Deputation presented to the Emperor this morning their homage. Since the arrival of a courier from Petersburg , it is reported that the Emperor Alexander ha d arrived on the 30th of September.—[The remain der of this article has been suppressed by the Censorship.] A great number of young foreigners are now here, who intended to proceed to Greece by the way of Trieste, but who cannot obtain passports. The greater part of them are so .poor that they cannot pay the expences of returning home. The Greeks of this city have assembled to assist them, but the aid is insufficient. Some foreign officers, who attempted to enlist. these young men for Greece, were immediately conveyed beyond the fron tiers. It is said,that in consequence of formal demands addressed by the Reis Effendi to our Internuncio at Constantinople, the exportation of arms, am munition, horses, &c., to those Turkish Provinces where the Greeks are under arms, has been pro hibited, and that the prohibitio❑ has been ex tended to prevent all persons, of whatever nation, from traversing the Austrian States to prOceed.to Greece. It is certain, that several travellers who Ind reached Trieste and Fiume have been ob liged to return, although they had regular pass ports. The same system has been adopted in the Austrian provinces, in Italy, in some of the Ita lian States, at Rome, and in Naples. Letters from Leghorn' state, that it was not permitted to any persons to proceed either to the Morea, Etolia, or the Islands of the Archipelago. AIX-LA-CnAPELLE, OCT. 17.—Reports of war and peace succeed each other. It seems that Russia persists in its determination to occupy im mediately with its troops Moldavia and Walachia. Prince Metternich continues to have ftequent conferences at Vienna with the Ministers of I the Great Powers. Despatches are frequently received at Vienna from the tßaron de Lebzeltern, the Austrian Minister at Petersburgh. His Excellency will not follow the Emperor Alexander to the army of the West. Baussr.Ls, OCT. 18.—The first Sitting of the Second Chamber of the States General, fixed for the 16th, did not take place, because there were only twenty-five Members present. The Pro vincial States of North Brabant, in their Sitting of the 12th, have determined on opening a canal between Bois-le-Duc and Maestricht, the ex pence of which is estimated at 280,000 florins. MADIUD, OCT. it—The Sittings of the Cortes up to' yesterday have been entirely dedicated to the discussion of the law for the territorial divi sion of Spain. The arrival of an express from Cadiz has given rise to all kinds of reports respecting an I extraordinary resolution adopted by this town as to its government. It is even said that Cadiz and the Isla de Leon meditate the design of de claring themselves free and independent towns. The elections of Deputies for Madrid are finished, and the result is in favour - of the liberal party. The partizan Zaldivar has experienced another defeat, and is closely pursued. A new conspiracy, has been discovet-d at Ge rona. Several arrests have taken place, but the particulars are not yet known. The Minister of War has not resigned, as was reported ; and to-day it is said the Political Chief, 1). Jos6 St. Martin Martinez, means to retire, but little reliance is placed on the report. [Extract of a Private Letter.] —We continue to enjoy apparent tranquillity. The revolu tionary party is predominant; and•the Electors who are to choose the Deputies have been almost all taken horn among the Ultra-Liberals.-----The French Journal, the Regulateur, announces that a counter-revolution is openly working in Spain ; grounding its assertion on the detention of li.iego, and the closing of the Club of La Fontana.—lt is again reported that some houses at Paris are in negociation for the new loan. • LISBON, OCT. 4.—The Cortes have adopted the article of the Constitution which prevents the King from interfering with the elections, from proroguing or dissolving the Cortes, or protest ing against their decrees. An amendment was added and adopted, which enacts that, if the King acts contrary to the present article, he shall be considered as having abdicated the crown, and his Privy Counsellors shall be prosecuted and punished as traitors to their country. AAIERICA. TRANSACTIONS AT PENSACOLA. PENiACOLA, Auo. s.—The extraordinary ex citement of our townsmen on the occasion, exclu sive of general considerations, made us very so licitous to give this day the best history we could procure of the much-to-be-lamented transactions of the 22d inst., which we feel assured were no less painful to the party ordering than to the party suffering the penalty ;of th law. The statement given is unquestionable.—We have no wish to remark on the transaction, conceiving it as of a peculiarly delicate nature, further than to remind our readers that a difficulty of a simi lar kind occurred in Louisiana, on its being take❑ possession of by the United States, when the former Intendant was imprisoned for a week by Governor Claiborne, for not surrendering papers under similar circumstances ; and that Galvez at this place imprisoned Colonel Campbell for many months on bare suspicion of his having in his possession papers of a public nature, and be longing to, the property and sovereignty of the country.--:(Flutidian.) STATEMENT. On information given to the Alcade, that pub lk documents or records required by individuals to enable them to prosecute their claims, were in the possession of a person of the name of Sousa, he communicated the fact by petition to the Go vernor. On this, a commission yns given in writing to Col. Walton, to the Alcade, and to Col. Miller, the clerk of the County Court, au thorizing them to wait on Sousa, and request him to exhibit, and deliver to them, all such public documents as were in his possession relating to the property in the Floridas,w hi ch no individual had a right to retain, and in case of his refusal, to re port the fact to the Governor. When these gentle men waited on Sousa, on the morning of the 21st, he exhibited 2 open boxes, containing papers which he said belonged ' to the military department and to the revenue, and which were entrusted to him by the late Governor for safe keeping. On examin ing the papers, those sought for were found, to- i gether with three other records of suits between individuals, involving the title to property in \Vest Florida. A demand was then made of these papers, but refused by Sousa, on the ground that he had no controut over them ; but he de dared that he would immediately communicate the demand, which was made to him in writing, to the late Governor.—These facts being report ed to the Governor, he commissioned Col. But ler and Col. Walton, secretary of West Florida, accompanied by the Alcade, to make a demand of the papers ; and iu case of a refusal, to require Sousa to accompany them to the Governor's office. They accordingly went to his house be tween 11 and 12 o'clock on the 22d, where they found Sousa, and made the demand ; when he informed them that he had sent the papers to Col. Callava's. lie was then brought before the Governor, and on being interrogated, acknow ledged that the particular papers required had been in his possession ; that they related to pro perty in this country ; that they were in certain boxes with other papers, which he had delivered into the keeping - of Colonel Callava's steward, and that they were then in Callava's house. A written commission was then given to Colonel Butler and Dr. Bronaugh, acggilipai)ied by the Alcade, .to repair to ths: house of Golonei callava, to make a demand of him of these papers, and in case of refusal, to require Colonel Ca!lava and the steward to appear before the Governor. I About fiv,e 0'404 in Ole ,eyeplag they repaired to the house of Colonel Callava, and found him surrounded by Spanish officers in uniform, with their side arms, haying just returned. from a dinner party. Colonel Butler immediately stated his business, and made a demand of the papers,- which had been taken to his house by Sousa, in contempt of the authority of the Governor. Colonel Callava said that Sousa was acting only as his servant, that he himself was responsible ; but that he claimed the, privilege allowed him by the laws of nations ; that he could not be pro ceeded against as a private individual : that l►e held the papers as late Governor, and that his powers, as• Commissioner, were still in force : that if among the papers which were in his possession, any should be found which ought to be surren dered under the treaty, if demanded of him, as Commissioner, in writing, he would reply. Co- onel Butler then stated fiis orders, which were read to Colonel Callava : and then informed him nit the Governorwas acting in his civil capacity n the execution of the laws ; that formal com )laint had been made that these papers were im _ Iroperly withheld, and that the Governor could . . not recognize Col. Callava in any other capacity than a common individual, while in the execution of his duties under the laws. He then demanded the papers, which were refused ; he then required him to appear at the Governor's office, which he refused. Col. Butler then stated • that he was setting at defiance the authority of the Governor, in the execution of the laws, and that he might expect the'consequenfes; he still persisted in his, refusal ; but when these gentlemen were about to withdraw, he said that on a list being given to him the papers should be delivered to Col. Butler, if found in the boxes ; to this Colonel Butler, and those who accompanied him, acceded, and with drew. Shortly after, the Alcade, Judge Breck enridge, returned, and presented him the list, at the same time stating that Col. Butler and Dr. Bro naugh would call in two hours, and expo-ct to re ceive the papers. Col. Callava then said, that the list must be first translated ; that the demand must be made of him as Commissioner; and that he must have time to give his reply. After the two hours had .elapsed, which was about nine o'clock P. 24., Col. Butler, and Dr. Bronaugh, with the Alcade, and accompanied by a guard, under the command of Lieut. Mounts, proceeded to the house of Col. Callava. They found the door locked, and demanded admittance three times distinctly, without receiving any answer. — It was then discovered, that the door on the op- posite side was open, and several officers, sitting without candle, in the porch. When Col. Cal lava was demanded, no one replied. ' Col. Butler then stepped into the house, an 4 entered one of the rooms in which a light' was burning, and in which there was a bed ; on examining which Col. Gallava•was found lying on it, with his coat off. lie arose apparently much astonished : the demand for the papers, as agreed upon, was re newed : he persisted in his refusal : when told he must prepare to go before the Governor, he replied he would not quit his house alive : he was then told force would be used. Col. Butler said he hoped he would not render it necessary : that he might considCr himself forced : on his still refusing, the officer of the guard was called in : he then put on his uniform coat, and was con ducted to the office of the Governor. On his enter ing the office, he was requested by the Governor to take a seat at the table. The Governor informed him of the nature of the business for which he was called, and that he was required to answer whether certain boxes containing papers had not been delivered into his possession by Sousa e he requested permission to put down his answer in Spanish, which was granted : he began to dic tate a protest against the proceedings, on the ground of his being a Commissioner on the part of Spain, &c. ; but was interrupted, and required to say whether he would or would not answer the question propounded to him directly ? lle then positively refused ; 'on which the steward, Fullaratt, was examined, and acknowledged that the boxes were delivered to him by Sousa, and were then in Callava's,house. The Governor now stated to Colonel Callava that he had been officially informed that the papers demanded were seen in the possession of Sousa, that, by Sousa's confession, they were delivered in certain boxes to Callava's steward, and that they were then in his house„. lie was, therefore, advised to deliver them up, or his refusal would be considered a contempt of the Governor's autho rity. Callava persisted in his refusal nearly two hours, still alleging that he was privileged as a Commissioner, and not responsible as an indivi dual, and making impassioned appeals to the by standers against the procedure, and at the same time against the indignity offered to a person of his rank and distinction. Ile was repeatedly I told by the Governor, that he could not view him in any other light than as an individual wiiO had in his possession documents which no individual had a right to retain ; that, under the second article of the treaty, all papers relating to the property of the country were to be delivered up ; that it concerned the- inhabitants, whose titles and rights were itivaXed ; that for their protec tion, and those claiminz under them, it was his duty to place theM 'in the hands of the Alcade for safe keeping. lie warned Colonel Callava of the consequence's-of his refusal, and reiterated his demand. Every Means being at length found unavailing, Colonel Callava, as also Sousa and the steward, were committed to prison by the Governor, until the papers should be obtained. A guard had been placed at Colonel Callava's house, with strict orders that every thing should be kept in exactly the same state in which it was left, The next morning the Governor gave a special commission to Col. Wilson, Secretary, Col. Miller, Mr. Shannon, and Mr. Brownjohn, accompanied by the Alcade, to .go to the house of Callava, and to open the box containing the papers ; those which had been enumerated and had been demanded of Callava, if found, to be taken and brought Co the Governor's office, and then to close th 6 box, placing a seal upon it.— This was•accordingly - done, -and in one of the boxes, recently sealed by Callava, the papers were found and' accordingly deposited at the office of the GoVernor.

After the Consecration, the Chapter, together with Deputations of Brethren from the neighbourhood, walked in procession to the Town Church, where the R 67. Dr. Lee preached an eloquent and appropriate discourse. WALES. MuronD.--7,tVe reg,ret to find that the Lord of the Manor 'as claimed the stone on which his Majesty, the Grand Patron of the Order, first placed his foot at Milford,and that the Lodge in which it had been deposited have been obliged, most reluc 7 tantly of course, to surrender it to him. We know not who the Lord of the Manor is, nor what exclusive right he may have to the stones on the water side, but it seems to us that the ex- ercise of that right, whatever it may be, on this occasion is most selfish and indiscreet, and that he would best have evinced his loyalty and attachment to his. Majesty by permitting this stone to remain in the Lodge where it had first been deposited, and where its genuineness and authentieity'Would have been most satisfactorily preserved, and would for ages to come have per petuated the recollection of the visit of a Prince whose zealous attachment to the Order, and unwearied endeavours to promote its welfare and prosperity, whilst he presided over it as Grand Master, most justly endear him to every member of the frater- pity. As to the stone, in its present custody its genuineness fifty years hence will, anti reasonably may, be disputed.— We can only add that we shall be very glad to be informed what right Lords of the Manor have to the stones of piers which may happen to be erected within their manors. It is a right of which we have never yet heard. MASONIC ANTIQUITIES. ANCIENT MASONIC COINS.—We have been favoured by a friend, who has very lately arrived from India, with an ac count of some Masonic Coins found a short time before his de parture, by a Gentleman who has long been employed in col lecting, with much labour, and at considerable expence, a re gular series of Mahomedan coins, froth the earliest era of the entrance of the followers of Mahomet into Hindostan down to the present period, a collection which, we understand, he has at length completed, and which consists of upwards of 1000 coins, regularly arranged, with the names of the Kings, the year of the liejira, and the corresponding Christian /Era. The account which we received from our friend alludes to so interesting an incident that we cannot deny ourselves the pleasure of presenting it to our brethren in the same form that it reached us, and we are quite sure that the discovery of the coins will not be more pleasing to them than the relation of a fact which must demonstrate and prove to the uninstructed world the extensive influence of the principles of our Order, which in a sequestered spot, in Africa, many hundred miles distant from human habitation, secured to an unprotected tra veller the kindest offices of hospitality, and the most friendly and important assistance. lie. writes as follows :—" I have lately been much gratified by a curious discovery. A few days ago, a Suraff, from whom I occasionally procure coins, fur nished me with several, each about the size of an eight anna piece, and of a composition apparently containing silver and copper. Each of the coins is distinctly impressed with some of the emblems of Freemasonry. On one is the level, and be neath a kind of spear, below which are two pillars, with a square object or chest between them. On the reverse is a square, and an ancient Sanscrit letter—the other figures are unknown. On another is a piltni6, and below it the spear and pillars, &c. On a third, the square is most distinct. There are no characters, with the exception of the large one just now mentioned, in ancient Dena-nagree. I have not been able to obtain any account of their history, or where they were found. They are evidently very ancient and appear to have been in circulation. Moorcroft, in his journal of an excursion to Lake Manasarona, mentions having met with a native, upon whose garments were sewed the insignia of Freemasonry. The Freemasons have often been accused of being descendants of the Manicheans ; and Wilford, in his learned essay (Asiatic Researches, vol. ix. p. 212), proves that 31anicheans formerly existed in the neighbourhood of Delhe6, and other parts of the Upper Provinces. On refer- ence to the Encyclopedia Britannica, you will find it mentioned that the'lllanieheans made use of amulets, and professed astro nomy and astrology, which, with the circumstance mentioned by Moorcroft, forcibly recalg to my recollection an occurrence that happened to me many years ago. Overwhelmed with a calamity which, at an early period of my life, induced me to penetrate the most savage wilds of Africa, alone, and wander ing at a distance of some hundred miles from any human habi tation, at length I sunk down exhausted with hunger and fatigue. On awaking from a trance, or sleep, the duration of which I had no means of asetertaining, to my astonishment I beheld a venerable old man, Whom, from his dress, I recognized as belonging to the nation of Foulabs, but whose features and language were Arabian, leaning over me, and in the act of at taching to my neck a string of coral heads, to which were joined at intervals several gold and ivory ornaments, consisting of a tortoise, a pyramid, a full moon, a crescent, seven stars, a lee, 1 with a small gold weight, a model of a temple in ivory, a sword, and a dove with extended wings. Such an appaiition, in the midst of such a solitude, and under such circumstances, ho- pressed me with an idea of something supernatural. It may be sufficient to remark, without relating at length the events which followed, that this venerable figure.cxplained to me in themost afi'acting manner the meaning attached to the different symbols, varying their exemplification according to the various occur rences of human life. He sometimes placed the full and win ing moon at opposite extremities of the keel, with. the pyramid in the centre ; thus seeming to inculcate that the full and wane of luuoian happiness were to he borne with the same tummy ing sequanannitya and our only hopes directed towards that point to which the summit of the pyramid aspired. Whether this man was a Manichean, or whether he was a Freemason, I am ineonnetent to decide—to me he was a guardian and beneficent angel." We have no hesitation in stating it to be our firm convictic n that this venerable personage was a Freemason, in which wq ever] brother, On perusing the Statement which we have just given, will coincide. The individual men= tinned by Moorcroft as having his garment decorated with masonic insignia undotibtedly was a member of the Frater nity. Moorcroft's account is as follows :—(Sec the Asiatic Journal, No. 29, for Nlay 1818, p. 455.) " This morning the Nerba came to take leave of us, and as his behaviour had been mn;formly atifative, I was desirous of shewing him that we were sensible of it, and accordingly gave him a double bladed-knife and my sword. The latter was in fact no great gift, as it was bought at Najidabad for three ru pees, and was intended solely for the journey. He was, how- _ ever, highly pleased with the compliment. His name was Thar-chand ; and he said, that he was in the suite of the Wazir, and should accompany him to Lassa. He wore a pend ant in one ear, in which along with rows of small torquoises, the never-failing ornament of this part, was a large irregular pearl, such as are in high request in this country, on account of their size. These I understand are brought to Calcutta in considerable numbers during the rainy season, from the Lacka dive Islands, and sold at a very easy rate. The Nerba's outer garment was woollen, of green, red, blue, and yellow narrow stripes manufactured at Guinah ; under this were four other garments; and both men and women constantly load them selves with several vests to prevent suffering from the cold.— On the back of this habit, and on the right shoulder, were sewed the saw, adze, chissel, rule, and all the insignia of. Fre emasonry in iron; the symbols of a fraternity of which he said lie was a member." With regard to the charge of our fraternity being descended f:om the )lanicheans, a sect of ancient heretics, we do not re collect to have heard it before; but if it is founded on no bet- ter ; ; rounds than that of the Manicheans using amulets and professing astronomy and astrology, we believe there are few who can think it necessary for us to enter into any refutation of it. This heresy arose' about the year 277 after Christ._lt consisted of a motley mixture of the tenets of Christianity with he ancient philosophy of the Persians. Weil informed Bre- thren know that we have the clearest evidence of a much earlier existence of Freemasonry than the year 277, and there .;-e noe so ignorant as not to know that it is, and ever has been, a fun damental principle of the Order to unite men of every sect, country, and opinion in one great plan, the glory of God, and the good of mankind, without reference to distinctions of religious faith, and that religious controversy is most strongly exchided from our assemblies ; and that it must therefore be impossil le that we have, or ever had, any connection with a set of wild anti violent fanatics.

SOLED] QUIS DICERB FALSUM AUDEAT3 LONDON, THUR,SDAY, OCTOBER 25,1821. We received this morning the French Paper s of Sunday and Monday, from which we give ex' tracts under the usual head of Foreign Inter gen ce. The few articles which relate to the question between Turkey and Russia are of s warlike character; the most remarkable of which is one from the Banks of the Vistula, which says, th e Emperor ALEXANDER is resolved not to permit any of the Foreign Powers tointerfere in the differenc es between Russia and the Porte, and that his de termination with respect to them is, like the laws of the Medes and Persians, immuta ble ' What that determination may be is not stat ed and it then adds, that if it should be his Imp erial MAJESTY'S intention to attack Turkey, not all the efforts of the whole of Europe shall prev ent him from executing his design. The military fo rces the EMPEROR has assembled to meet such a c on ' tingency are represented to be extraordina rily and in the highest state of equiproc ilt ; and we have little doubt that whenever they are al brought into action they will be found to 13e that character, and to subdue all opposition. V ie period is not, we apprehend, far distant when t may suit the views of Russia to put an en d t° the present lingering negociations, and to o rn# mence hostilities age.inst the Turks.
