FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, Nov. .13.—Lieutenant-General Coun Rapp died on Thursday last. He was not forty, five years old. Lieutenant-Colonel Count de Belmain, Aide. de-Camp of the Ernpeior of Russia, is just ar. rived at. Paris. The Prince de Metternich arrived at Frank fort on the 3d. The Senate immediately ordered two sentinels to be stationed at the door of his hotel, an honour which is not conferred even on the Sovereign, the Duke de Nassau. The Prince received the visits of the Diplomatic Corps. The Russian Minister was the only one who did not wait on him, ou account, it is alleged by some, of indisposition. Letters from Barcelona of the 3d state, that though the fever ha* been subsiding very fast since the • Ist of this month, yet more than one hundred persons still die daily. Drs. Pariset and Bally•are quite recovered. We learn from Marseilles, finder date the sth instant,• that, according to the latest accounts from Greece, the authenticity of which may be relied on, the Turkish Authorities of Salonica had sent Deputies to the Greek's of Cassandra, to apprize them of the amnesty of the Grand 'Signior, and to treat with them-for peace. The Grand Signior promised the Greeks a general amnesty'', and the .enjoyment of their former privileges ; but the -Greeks, well knowing from- experie.nce the perfidy of the . Porte, and never having found under its protection , any other privileges than -those of slaves, returned the following answer to the Turkish Deputies :—". Go, tell the Pacha- of Salonica that before we can listen to his propositions of peace, we have some:questions to put to.him ; before we can rely on his word, to consider us no longer as enemies, we will say to him : Pacha, call to mind our wives, our sisters, whom thou bast torn from our arms and sold as slaves in Asia, whom thou •didst cause to be publicly dishonoUred to revenge thyself on us, and whom, after such odious treatment, we can no longer re xoguize as onr lawful Wives, even • if .thou wert to restore them tons. Reflect on these-mortal injuries, and ask •thyself if in thy power, or riches, o Offer any indemnity which . can repair these wrongs . . .Consider well- of -thy, answer. If then thou thickest thpuiiast any, .4ve irin again ask thee, before we grant thee peace, for our children, whom thou bust robbed us of to gratify thy infamous passions, and to educate them in thy false religion, iu order that the sweetest tie of nature May'prove tois'thesource of our-pre sent griefs and our future terrors. " If thou wishest for peace With US; deliver us up thy arms, for we know. thy perfidy, and we. cannot make any treaty with thee as long as thou bast the means of violating . it. If thou wishest for peace, give us for a habitation the town of Salonica, as an indemnity.for: the seventy-five villages thou hast burnt to •the- ground ; let Ali Pacha come out of the fortress of Janina, where thOu • keepest him blocked up, and cease to be at war with him for he is now our friend and ally. If thou wishest for. peace with us, bring back to life, if Thou canst, Kitno, Balano, and Menexe, innocent Greeks of Salonica, whom thou bast inhumanly massacred. If thou could:4 do these things, we should still require the fortresses of SaloniCa to be given up to the Greeks; for it would be just as prudfnt for bees to have a fox for their king, as for a Greek to have a Turk for his master."'

FRA N K7ORT, Nov. 8.--The Allgemeine Zeitung contains an article from Odessa, which states that the report that had been previously announced of the march of the Russian troopsin the neigh bourhood of Odessa is not confirmed. The Mercui:y of' Sweden publishes the follow ing Extract of a Letter from Leghorn of the 16th October : " The Turkish fleet met near Cape Malapan (the south point of the Morea) a Greek vessel ; captured it, and having first covered the crew with tar, set. icon fire.. The Captain Pacha has in this only followed the orders of .the Sultan relative to all Greeks who should lie taken with arms in their hand's." A writer must have a very bad opunpa of his readers if he thinks to interest them by the re cital of such horrors, respecting the falsehood of which we now know what we have to think ; but the gratuitous assertion► which concludes this nar rative is. atrocious. 11.1 - Anitio, Nov. I.—[Extract of a Private Let ter.]—The discussion in the last Sitting of the Cortes, on the tariff of customs, takes a turn. which prothises no hope of any essential mitio, - a= tion of the prohibitory system. Count Torreno is amongst the .most zealous o f it s d e f en d ers. He, cites the, examples of France and the United States, . who .owe the prosperity of their manufactures the prohibition against the importation of foreign manufwttures. But the progress of Spain in the arts, manufactures, &c. is yet top trivial to maintain the prohibitory syStem ; its wants, its misery, will render smug 'glint general. The nomination of D. A. Vallego to the Fi nance Ministry has given such dissatisfaction that two of the heads of that Department have set off express for the Escurial to tender to the King, not only their resignations, but also those of most of the persons employed in that Department, who are determined not to serve under Di A. Vallejo. We are assured there is a division in the Mi nistry ; the Ministers of the Interior, of Finance, and of Justice, are of one side ; and fienores Bardaxe, Scudero, and Salvader, of the other. The Minister of Marine is neuter. CADIZ, Ocr. 23.—The number of deaths in his city, from the 18th to the 22d, was 32. suprition JUYTA OF HEALTH. The latest accounts from Puerto S.

OCT. :I ) 2.—There cannot be a greater proof of the great in juries caused to society by religious fanaticism than what is now passing at Barcelona. The contagion makes dreadful ravages, and the physicians, who do not succeed with the means of cure, wish at least that measures of preservation should be adopted. The Aut►orities r agreeing with them 'in those ideas, - besides establishing convenient barracks in healthy spots in the coun try, where the citizens might fitid an asylum- from the death which is almost inevitable in tlre'city, had requested the clergy to avoid all Meetings of a number of persons, which are on many accounts so well calculated to propagate the contagion. Yet little has been done ; the narcelonese, like the barbarous Africans, considering all attempts to avoid a public calamity . of this kind as an office to the Divinity, remain in their houses, daily increasing the number, of .victims ; the ecclesiastical au thorities, with a kind of apathy which is compatible only, with the most profound ignorance, permit the service in the churches. to be attended now even by grater numbers than forMerly, and the faithful go to pray - to 'God to deliverthem from evils, which . their own Ministers bring• -On . them ; and as the President of the Municipal Junta judiciously observes, in his excellent pro clamation of the 21st instant, " by a false idea of religion they expose their flocks to entire destruction." In consequence of a .negligence• so injurious to the public health, an express order has been issued prohibiting all nume rous meetings in the coffee-houses, theatres, and churches un der any pretext whatsoever. We could have wished that in ad dition, penalties had been decreed against those who may trans gress this order, and that all the churches had heen ,'closed~ and - some place' appointed Irlie're. the mass might be cehebtated in the open air.

We have received the French Papers of Tues day, Brussels Papers, and Spanish Journals, front which we give extracts under the usual head of " Foreign Intelligence." The French Chamber of Deputies met on Monday, and there not being a sufficient number present to constitute a House, the question of adjournment was put, amid consider able opposition, but before it could be carried, some more members arrived, «ho completed the requisite number, and enabled the Chamber to proceed to business. •The subject which oc cupied their attention related to the reports on the new . Elections, the whole of which were de cided, excepting five, which were to be taken into consideration on Tuesday, to which day the Chamber adjourned. The scrutiny for the nomi nation of Candidges to the Presidency was to take place on the same day. As the period for the. meeting of Parliament approaches, it becomes desirable that the princi pal topics which.are expected to engross:its atten tion should be carefully discussed; Amongst these, the alterations in the Poor Laws, proposee. b yM r, SCARLETT,. are of pre-eminent importance to the cause of 'humanity, and to the wealth, mo rals, populousness, and paver of the "State. The unsound theories regarding foreign commerce, also, which we fear . : are daily gaining ground,' and which thr e at en t o over turn the wiie-a n d sa lutary principl es and -regulations - on Willa, our a n of sntgoirasnfda: must ded us t the accurately_ c r cu s r p a e;ri el t a yy investigated, .. d ta lI• a l .power : f (heir:fallacy be not' speedily and unanswerably demonstrated; it is to be feared that the trident. of Englaild will pass from her grasp, and that a mistaken policy will divertfrom' her shores that 'nighty , current *of commercial. wealth, •• whose fertilizing: stream :has enriched. her soil, has" rapidly increased the numbers, and the en terprise and intelligence of her people, and has carried her to a position' , of power and glory to %% hich no other country has ever attained. —From mistaken views in Political Economy, a science less generally understood than its vast importance to the welfare of nations merits, and into which the most mischievous errors have been introduced by ingenious but superficial theorists, the depressed agriculture of the kingdom has been abandoned by Parliament to the ruin which is overwhelming it,under the fallacious supposition that by means of a self-rectifying principle the in- jurious fluctuations of national interests will most speedily and ad vantageouslyfind their own level; and that from the spontaneous action of this sup posed principle alone, unaided :by the lights of science and the wisdom of experience, can the deranged and conflicting interests of the people be efficaciously restored to harmony and to a state of progressive prosperity ! While the English pepple are With deep and intense interest observing the political revolutions of Foreign States, it is to be feared that an inci pient revolution in their own internal condition has already commenced, and which, though less conspicuous and striking than mere political changes, may be far more extensive and ruinous in•its effects, than any of the sudden and capri cious revolutions to which all political institutions are exposed. The spirit of innovation' and theoretical expe riment is not confined to our political Reformers. Though with different views and under another name, it has found its way into the breasts o many of our most intelligent Legislators, and even into the Cabinet itself. Professing to le gislate solely on practical grounds, and to form part of a practical Government, the Legislature of Great Britain has been seduced into the adop tion of theories to which innumerable practical truths are opposed ; and is gradually yielding to a system which proposes to overthroW the practical knowledge that has been acquired by the successful experience of ages. However imperfect may be the system which has arisen from the operation of our Poor Laws, or rather from the grossly ignorant and unskilful manner in which those laws have been adminis tered, nothing can be more true in theory, bene- icent in design, and praiseworthy in execution than the principle in which the Poor Laws of England originated, and on which it must have been the intention of their original framers that they should be permanently established and pro gressively administered. But, the original intention, and the express declaration and injunction .of the early statutes for making a compulsory provision for the Poor, was, that employment should be found by their parishes respectively for all such persons as were able to work, but were unable of themselves to find opportunities for the exertion of their in dustry. No relief was to be given hut in return for labour, except to such poor persons as were incapable of producing their own subsistence, during childhood, and in infirmity and old age. It is certain that every human being, in pos session of ordinary health and strength, and of common understanding, is capable of producing much more than is necessary for the comfortable subsistence of the individual ; and therefore a law, which enacted that the Public should afford, to all its members, opportunities for the exertion of their powers, for the supplying of their own wants, admirably provided against the unavoid able fluctuations in the demand for labour, which are occasioned by the unequal distribution of property, and by the conflicting speculations of individuals ; and, if such a law had been as jud:- ciously carried into execution as it was wisely and humanely conceived, the occurrence of ex treme poverty must have been rendered impos sible, the support, even of the infirm and aged poor, might have been effected' without any ex pence- to the parishes, the morals of the lower classes would have been preserved from much of that vicious contamination to which'the errors of, the parochial system ha . ve subjected them, and the continued prosperity of_ the State, by the continual increase of its population, wealth, re venue, and power, would have been insured, on the only solid and certain foundation,—the pro ftablt; and productive emPloyment of the whole of its people. Whether the English Poor Laws originated from. profound views in Political- Economy, or hether they sprung solely from the benevolent principle, which accidentally determined that relief should be 'administered, to the necessitous through the medium of their own labour, be cause such a mode of administering relief ob viously presented itself as in some respects advan tageous, is immaterial. The more attentively their foundation principle is examined, the more apparent does its 4c . cqracy, wisdoin, justice, and beneficent utility, become. Ift e dite its discs' very to Benevolence alone, her ways were those of righteousness and wisdom. If we are kid debted for it to an enlarged and comprehensive knowledge of the true sources of national wealth, it was one 'of the. greatest efforts of, political wisdom which the world has yet witnessed. The , ruinous consequences of our Poor Laws have not sprung from this wise and beautiful principle. The . ) , have arisen from - their. original principle having been abandoned in their practi cal administration. In all endeavOurs, therefore, to rectify the fatal errors which been committe49. and which have led the country into.a frightful• abyss of pauperism and demoralization;the - Le= gislature shOuld carefully distinguish ,between. the true and beneficial principle, and the false, and mischievous practices by which that prin.. - civic has been superseded ; and, while -it stitutes a better system for that which ; has•been so wretchedly inefficient and injurious, shmil47 . carefully preserve the foundation which. ouruna cestors laid for the security and comfort. of all classes of the people. If the poor be employed, merely for the supply :of their own wants, by their own labour, raising all the necessary articles of food for their .otcn • consumption, and fabricating all the requisite ar- . • tides of comfort aild utility,. for their own use, they must, by a very mdderate exertion of hlas tr,y, infallibly provide for their Own necessities, without any expence whatever to the-commu nity at large:—lf they be permitted to pro duce a surplus over the amount which is required for the supply of their own wants, and if that - :Surplus be admitted for sale into the usual markets, it is:eqtially obvious that the poor, instead of being a burthen, may be . converted into.a source of .profit, either to their parishes - respectively; or to the State. It is quite impossible :that it should he other wise. Every human being, of fUll age and ordi nary.strength, being capable of producing, _with the aid of science and mechanism, as much.of the goods of life as are necessary for the consumption of ten individuals, it is in the nature of things that the employment of their poWers, if those powers be judiciously directed, must be more than .suffi cient for their own subsistence.—And, if the in dustrious powers of the poor be directed, in the first instance, to the production of necessaries for 'THEIR OWN consumption,and not to the creation of produce intend e d f o r sa l e , i n or de r t h at the neces saries may begfterwardsprocured, from theproceeds of such sale, that direction of their industry, so far as it extends, will be a judicious direction, and a safe, certain, and beneficent method of promoting the. health and insuring the comfort an a l happi ness of the Poor, while it in proportion to . the extent of-its application, immediately . reliev,e the Public from the intolerable burthen of their support. Far are we from being disposed to add to the weight of affliction ; and, therefore, though' we feel ; some compassion for the Sister of CAttir.t.E, who has been sentenced to a heavy punishment, yet, as her guilt hivalves the labours of BLAS PHEMY on the one hand ; and the sacred cause of CHRISTIANITY on the other, it is of importance to - the awful concerns of our holy faith that due punishment should be inflicted, not merely on account of the offending female, who probably ,• acted under influence, but because it is proper to deter other offenders from attempting to ensnare the minds of the unwary, and thereby to weaken those hallowed bonds which are the best supports of the Institutions upon which the very existence of Society depends. No country can exist withoUt some religion, and as the Christian dispensation, in particular, irrefra gably demonstrates its divine origin, it is the duty of Government to give to it all pos sible support, for the immediate welfare of the State, and the general benefit of mankind. The sentence against Miss CIMALE, though. ap parently severe, is called for by,the magnitude of her guilt, and the dangerous tendency of the works to which she gave circulation; but much depends on her own conduct during her impri sonment, and there can- be . no doubt that she will experience due mitigation, if she manifests such a .proper sense of her crime as may promise a suitable amendment in her future life.
