FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PA.RIS, Nov. 6.—The Monileur contains the Royal Ordinance of the 9_3d September last, creating the Baro❑ Pasquier a Peer of France, zr ith remainder to his youngest brother Jules M. Pasquier. The Supreme Administration of Catalonia has published a regulation, relative to the encamp .ment of the population of Barcelona. Every person may at his own expence encamp under a - tent, or in a barrack, in situations to be fixed by the Commandant-General of the Cordon, and after having gone through the prescribed proba tion, may pass beyond the cordon. A great num ber of the inhabitants have quitted the town since this regulation has been promulgated. The , :ontagions disorder has ceased at Mequi nenza, because there are no more inhabitants left ; and the news from Tortoza is of the most afflict ing nature. We have, this moment, received fresh intelli gence from Barcelona, which inspires us with se rious disquietude for the fate of the French Physicians whose courageous devotion led them to that town. Madame Pariset has communicated to us the following extract of a letter which she hat just received from her husband : " Barcelona, Oct. 26, Six o'Clock at night. " I am just risen from my bed, to which I have been con fined by all the incipient symptoms of the yellow fever ; but a profuse perspiration has relieved me, and I hope to be quite well. Bally is also confined to his bed, With evident symp toms of the disorder. Our commission is reduced to M. Francois alone, who continues to be very active. If we recover, M. Bally and I, we propose to shorten our stay here, for we care no longer be of any use." The Gazette of Nuremberg states, that one of the brothers of Prince Alexander Ypsilanti was at Dresden on the 23(1 of October ; and that it is very possible that, instead of Count de Bern stoff, it was the Prince de Hardenberg who went to Hanover, to confer with the Marquis of Lon donderry on the affairs of Turkey. For some time past the Austrian Observer has been quite silent respecting the passing events in the Levant, and the state of the negotiations on this subject. FRENCH FUNDS. Nov. 5, Five per Cents. Bank Stock 1590 f. c. VIENNA, OCT. 26.—Accounts from Herman stadt, of the 17th, speak with certainty of the tragical end of Jordaki, who perished in the Eames. The Turks, on obtaining possession of the Convent of Secka, had promised an am nesty to the ecclesiastics and the wounded Metaerists ; but the moment they were in the hands of the Turks, the latter fell on them and strangled them. Jordaki, who was ill, and confined to his bed, foresaw the cruel fate which awaited him, and desired some of his most de voted followers to bring into his cell a quantity of straw, pitch and tar, powder, and other com bustibles. At the approach of the Turks he set fire to the heap, and thus died for his country and his religion. Whatever the enemies of the Greeks may allege against them, many have dis played great courage, and have strewn themselves - worthy of the support and approbation of mankind. Jordaki was the descendant of an ancient family of Boyars ; he was married, and the father of six children, and his death is universally regretted. His bravery equalled his hatred against the oppressors of his country, and gave him pre-eminence over all the other Chiefs of the two Principalities. He was deserving of a better fate.—Fresh troops are pouring into Moldavia and Walachia. • AUGSBURG, OCT. 31.—[Extract of a Private Letter from Vienna of the ' 2 sth.]—The jour ney of the Prince de Metternich to Hano • ver has, for the last ten days, been the sub ject of general conversation in our capital. We ' do not pretend to dive into the secrets of our -Cabinet.; 'but we - think .may be able to state what passes in our circles. We can affirm that . our Government is on the same footing of good un :derstanding with Russia,and that all its efforts tend to the Maintenance of peace in the East of Europe. • This object, however, cannot be attained unless the • Porte consents unconditionally to the just . demands of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh ; it• is true that the Divan has acceded to most of the propositions, but numerous difficulties have • arisen relatiVe to the guarantee required by the Emperor Alexander in favour of the Greeks. . The English Ambassador at Constantinople ' had, in the first instance, we are assured, pro posed modifications to the demands of Russia, but the latter power would not consent to them. Austria; on_ the contrary, is of opinion, and like `wise Prussia, that the Porte ought to give the guarantees demanded by the Court of Russia ; and this state of things brought about the determi nation of our Government to send the Prince de Metternich to Hanover, 'to persuade the King of • England to make common cause with Austria.— If his Highness succeeds in the important nego ciation, England will be obliged to observe a dif ferent policy towards the Greeks from what she has hitherto adopted. Our Public Funds maintain nearly the same price. On the 2-Ith of October the course of Exchange in our town (Augsburg) was quoted at 99 1- -Ith, Metallics at 74 1-16th, and Bank Stock at 6'27 7-10ths. The first accounts from Hanover will decide either their rise or their fall. FRANKFORT, Nov. I.—Speculators affirm, that peace 11, ill be maintained between Russia and the Porte, at least for the winter, and Metallics have in consequence risen to 74 5-16ths. It is ex pected they will rise still higher. His Highness Prince Metternich is expected here to-morrow. On the 30th Oct., a Deputation from our Senate went to Giessen to compliment his Majesty the King of England on his passage through that town.—Several Greeks, among whom is the young Prince Gregory Ypsilanti, arrived here yes terday, from Kischineco, in Bessarabia, on their way to Paris to finish their studies.—Count Lie ven, the Russian Ambassador, did not arrive at Hanover till the `..:Bth of October.—lt is affirmed that the result of the conferences between the three Ministers (Prince Metternich, the Mar quess of Londonderry, and Count Lieven,) leaves no doubt of the continuance of peace. HANovra, OCT. 24.—Some persons who had drawn on themselves his Majesty's displeasure by their conduct during the occupation of the kingdom by the enemy, and who had been on that account forbidden the Court, have received permissio❑ to appear there again. MOLDAVIAN FRONTIER, OCT. s.—The cause of the Greeks in 'Moldavia seems to be quite ruined. The Turks, who have no resistance to fear, plunder all over Moldavia where any thing is to be found, and are to remain this winter at Jassy. It is certain, indeed, that as soon as the Turks leave Moldavia, the lletarists will return to it; 6000 of them are between the Dniester and the Pruth, and long for the moment when they may avenge the blood of their brethren. The Moldavian Boyars who are in Bessarabia and the Bukowina, intend, when the Turks leave Moldavia, to establish a kind of Militia, to preserve order, and to keep out the lletarists : but any one who knows the indolence of the Mol davians, will easily see that the plan cannot be executed. FROM THE BANKS ON THE NECKER, Nov. I. A letter from Chios of the 26th of September says, that the European Ambassadors to the Sublime Porte, who were aware to what a degree of fanaticism the Hatti-Scheriff of the Grand Signior for the general arming of the Mussulmans would excite in that people, used all their endeavours to prevent the Divan from taking such a measure. The Ambassadors of England and Austria, who possess so much influence with the Porte, and had made common cause with the other Foreign Diplo;:aatists, could obtain no con cession ; and it is reported that since the publi cation of the liatti-sclieriff, the Austrian Inter nuncio has broken off his relations with the Porte. Fresh excesses are continually perpe trated in the capital. There is no disciplin, among the troops ; and the Asiatics and the Ja nissaries hare frequent conflicts in the streets of Constantinople. The former complain openly of breach of faith on the part of the Government, for it seems the plunder of all the property of Christians in the Turkish empire had been pro mised to them ; they appear resolved on return ing to Asia, in spite of all the efforts of the Divan to prevent them." TRIESTE, OCT. 20.—A French ship is arrived in this port, which left Smyrna on the 28th Sept., at which date every thing was quiet. On the 11th of October the French Captain met the Turkish fleet in the waters of Zante, which had last quit ted Patras, and on the 9th he had seen near Na. rarino two strong Greek divisions. ROTTERDAM, Nov. 2.—A letter from Batavia, of the 25th June, makes no mention of the cho lera inorbus, whence it is hoped that the ravages of that disorder have ceased. HAGUE, Nov. 2. SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES GENERAL. The preliminary business of the Assembly having been gone through, and several petitions received, the Minister of Finance was introduced by the Committee nominated for the purpose, and presented, in the name of his Majesty, two Projects of Law, which he explained in a speech in the Dutch language.__ The first Project contained the Budget of the extraordinary ex. pences for the year 1822, which are fixed at the sum of 18,688,856 florins, being 2,387,677 florins below the estimate of the same expences for the year 1321. His Excellency did not fail to draw the attention of the Chamber to this important reduction. He likewise observed, that the amount of the extraordinary receipts was estimated at a sum approximating to that fixed for the disbursements ; that thus, as his Majesty had said on opening the Session, there was a just proportion between the receipt and the expenditure, and that it was not necessary to have recourse to any extraordinary means. Lastly, his Excellency gave hopes of the speedy issue of a new coinage, which was now executing with great activity, both at Utrecht and Brussels. His Excellency also presented an account of the receipt and expenditure of the year 1830 and preceding years. To cover unforeseen expenses for the year 1022, it is proposed ;o place a million of florins at his 'Majesty's disposal. FOR THE SUN. TIIE LANDED INTERESTS. Ain. Enrron,—Referring to my letter of the 3d instant, I.sliould add the degree of astonishment which would - be excited in the mind of every re flecting person, if the Landed and Agricultural parts of the community did not take up the sub ject therein alluded to, would be limited only by the conviction of their either being in a state of perfect infatuation, and consequent mental thral dom ; or transfixed by the fascination of the ser pent's glanr✓', which rendered - them incapable of moving ; and in both cases they could only be pitied, but in neither aroused nor warned. Go vernment I again assert would, and still is will- ing, to lend them a helping hand, should they only put forth their own energies, and practically show the desire of being helped by it ; but they must set about the matter in the first place ; they •mustpriginate it themselves. It is too much to expect that it should be commenced for them ; they may be thankful for encouragement when they have begun it themselves, of which they need not doubt ; but. if not fully satisfied with such an assertion, they may obtain personal as surance of its truth, by asking for it in the proper quarters, whither they may be directed to apply. The Laud Proprietors and Cultivators are alone suffering from the low price of grain, and tl►e public reaps no benefit therefrom, since the price of bread is, and has. been, kept up to as high a rate as it ought to have been if the Farmer had received all he wants, namely full compensation for his . labours. A return to an assize set upon the price of flour would not however (as might erroneously have been supposed) produced any benefit to - the Agriculturist, nor would it be of advantage to the - public. In order to effect both ends, an assize should, as it ought in justice where it exists, be set upon the average price which the Farmer receives for his wheat, making full allowance and leaving au ample margin for profit to both miller and baker; a clear and effi cient set of tables for which end might without difficulty be so constructed as to act as just regu lators at all times and prices. There is no doubt but the general peculation which formerly existed under the system of assize by flour, notwith standing the numerous attempts made to correct it, combined with the secretly organized but per fectly successful machinations which have yet more recently been resorted to for opening and closing the ports at the will of the contrivers, wouldaltogethe'r preclude every, even the least, advantage to any others than the vile agents therein themselves. The really effectual remedy fOr these evils, as well as the means for obtaining that protection so imperiously called for, and so justly due to the Lauded Interest, are to be found,' in, and had only from, a full devolopement of past transactions, which are known and recorded to have been carried on for sinister purposes.— . (V ide minutes of evidence, pages 130 and 294,295, of the last Committee on Agricultural Distress.) . Nothing more than a superficial glimpse is how ever there caught of the deeds done; the mys teris of. the evil lie deep, and its ramifications are broad ; nor is it until the Landed Interest shall themselves conic forward and fathom and probe them to the bottom, that they will be able to obtain_the• protection which they seek. To do it, or to have it done, but even then they must • move in it themselves to commence it, is a point of vital importance to them, and that too without delay ; their very existence (so far as the con sequences of landed properties remaining of any value are concerned) depends upon its being done, and that promptly too, since it is evidently now at stake. But they have strewn, and do still shew, so much indifference towards the subject, that the world at large does not now begin for the first time to doubt. 1 t has long doubted, and openly ques tioned, the reality of their distress, arguing and alleging as the reason, that were it real and practically felt, they would not shew themselves so supine as they have done. They have it is true often raised au outcry, and nearly as often have specious or professed palliatives in one shape or other been ostensibly applied, avowedly to re lieve ; but hitherto nothing effectual in the .way of cure and future protection. Nor will any thing in. this way be done, or even begun, for their interests, until they have established their claims upon much stronger grounds than any they have yet taken, and indeed than any that have hitherto appeared in proof, not merely of the reality of their sufferings, but also of the inadequacy of the present system of laws to pro tect them; by demonstrating how such laws have been, and may yet again, with impunity, be almost at, will evaded. Evaded is too mild, as well as too .inadequate a term. The true expression is in what, manger they have been, and may again be converted into instruments of attack, and their points be turned towards, and made to inflict the most .dangetouS_ ~and deadly wounds upon, the vital Interests of those whom they were pro fessedly framed to defend. They have, if they choose to avail themselves of them, the means of doing this within their reach ; and afterwards an effectual. remedy for their sufferings will Spring naturally out of the proper use of such means; the result would be a necessary alteration of the laws consequent thereupon. Let them therefore now only stretch forth their hands, embrace the means, and use them, and the inevitable result, which is what they wish, will follow as a matter of course. De gustibus, &c.—lndeed I am not inclined to call in question the justness of the tastes of the Agriculturists ; it may be th e y a re secretly well pleased with suffering ; 5 and if so, let them by all means both possess and enjoy that unenviable state and lot. If they should move, there will be some expense in the first in stance in the use of these means ; it would how ever be a comparatively small, though necessary, • nay indispensable, sacrifice ; in ord er t o atta i n their end and aim, and thereby insure, not merely their properties, but also their very ex istence as Land proprietors, deriving inc omes or benefit from that source ; but of which the du ration cannot possibly be otherwise than ex remely short. BYSTANDER. " Like the self immolating, though misjudging, misjudging, not to say deluded, victims of India and elsewhere, CATHOLIC EMANCIPATION. We have so frequently and fully delivered our sentiments on this important subject, that any repetition of them would he quite unnecessary. A circumstance has, however, lately come to our know lege, which it is proper not to pass unno ticed. The church-living of Kiltarlity, in the vici nity of Inverness,N.B.,is now vacant,the advowson of which is vested in a Homan Catholic. By the law of Scotland, no Patron suspected of Popery can exeircise this right, without taking a certain formula or test prescribed by Parliament in 1700 and 1793. This formula no Papist will take, and if he neglects doing so, the right accrues to the Crown. Popish patrons are in use therefore of conveying the advowson by regular grant to a Protestant disponee, who conforms to the law, and by that means prevents the devolution to the Crown. But in the case we allude to, the Popish Patron made no such grant or conveyance, but merely commissioned his own . attorney to exercise the right, in the Patron's name and for his be hoof. This transaction has been challenged by the parishioners on the score of the Patron's religious disability ; and an injunction has been obtained from the Court of Session against the settlement and collation of the Clergyman ap pointed to the benefice by the Patron's Commis sioner. The private interests of the parties sink, in our opinion, into nothingness, in comparison with the great public and constitutional impor tance of the case. Year after year we see the Catholics petitioning Parliament for removal of the disabilities under which our ancestors found it necessary to place them ; and we see them stating at the same time, that they have no wish nor intention to meddle with the Ecclesiastical establishments of the nation. But notwithstand ing all this a Clergyman claims admission into the Protestant Church of Scotland, by virtue of authority flowing from a notorious Papist, equally contrary to law and to the whole., spirit of the securities in favour of the Es tablished Religion. This is a practical de monstration of what Catholics would do, were the Legislature to grant them their requests.— And it shews their anxious and busy disposition to interfere with the National Church, whatever they may find it prudent in the mean time to profess. The subject of Catholic Emancipa tion, like Parliamentary Reform, and some others, must he viewed in all its ramifica tions ; and if it be so, many of its supporters would startle at the necessary consequence of their favourite measure. From Catholic Eman cipation, the petitioners apparently seek only the exercise of civil and political rights, and they have induced many to believe this to be the fact. But what they actually seek, is exemplified in the attempt on Kiltarlity, a church benefice of a strictly Protestant Church, and with which the law forbids all Papists to intermeddle, unless the Parliamentary test be taken by the Patron, which neither he nor any other Catholic has taken, ❑or ever will take. Under these circum stances we hope that the law will be enforced on the present occasion, and the Patron either forced to conform, or to abandon the right to his MAJESTY, in terms of the Act of Parliament.

Our beloved SOVEREIGN having returned from his inspection of his Hanoverian dominions, without having visited any of . the foreign Courts, or attended a Congr2ss of foreign Potentates, from which probable occurrences sc much danger to the interests of this Country was apprehended, by certain parties, at the time of his departure, it will be allowed, we presume, even by those who are the most jealous of the constitutional power, and of the personal character of the KING, that his MAJESTY" appears again in the midst of his British subjects, with all his British feelings unimpaired, and with his British attachments and principles strengthened, perhaps, rather than weakened, by his temporary absence from Eng land. DISCOVERY SHIPS.—Most satisfactory accounts have been received from Captain PARRY, dated the 16th July, when the ships had cleared the ice, which at this season is always found to be dense alld extensive round Resolution Island. On the '22tl they were met with by the last of the Hudson's Bay ships, steering N.W. with fair breeze and an open sea ; and, as the Is itet was clear of ice as far as the coast of Amen' there is little doubt of their having reached 1113 : coast a few days after they w ere l as t seen . an accident of any kind had happened to eitli e of the ships, and both officers and men wer e high health and spirits.

I i DEFAULTER.—It is true, as stated in TheTilnr S l yesterday, that an individual at the head of t ° ' Pay Department of the Victualling Office has 5 denly decamped with a considerable sum 0( the public money. But it is not true, as is iii° f nuated, that this f rau d arose f rom any vrant ° expedition or caution in the audit of the ru l)11 ! Accounts. Not only has the Public Accoun t° this person been audited up to Christmas 19gf ' but his receipts and payments since that tine have been regularly examined and checked 011 c, a fortnight by the Vict ua lli ng B oar d.—As far r the investigation has p rocee d e d, th e f ac t aPe t 5 to be, that this pers o n k new th a t th e ace he held was to b e a b o li s h e d a t Ch r i stmas nex t, ° I/j that he would then be compelled to retire on : pension considerably l ower th an hi s sa l ar y—'th at two days before he disapp eare d, a sum of no lle,, had been transferred to his account at the o ° lll ' of England, to enable him to Carry on the 1 1111 '' lie payments—and that in the course of th ese two days he had drawn out a large part Of the sum so transferred, and has carried it with as a means of future support. Under these d r ' cumstances no possible censure can attach to th e superintending officers. As well might a merchOt' or banker, be accused of, want of vigilance, if 114 clerk went off at night with the cash he had 01 ' lected in the rounds of the day.
