FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. . PARIS, ➢EC. 4.—Yesterday a Journal (the Quotidienne) announced that the Duke of An.. gouleme was to set out next week for the depart ments of the south. This news is destitute of foundation.—(Journal des Debuts; and also l'Etoile of the preceding evening.) In contradiction to the report in the Constitu tionne4 of O'Donnel's return to Bayonne, the Quotidienne says—Ac Our letters from that town, dated the 28th and 29th, concur in saying, that O'Donnel still occupied the mountains of Roncal, where he had collected a division of 1,500 men, which was daily receiving additions from the neighbouring Biscayan provinces, in which the hatred against the revolutionists is decided. On this point the Constitutionalists have only 7,000 or r 000 men : viz. 2,000 at Pampeluna, and 5,000 dr 6,000 at Vittoria, under the command of Torrijos." • The Courier Frangais states, that—." Yesterday between four and five o'clock, at the moment when all the mails were made up, and ready to depart for their respective destinations, a counter-order arrived, in pursuance of which they were stopped, and the dispatches taken out, and carried back to the ofECes. Some time after the mails were sent off in succession. Several did not depart till after six o'clock." (This paragraph appeared in THE SuN of yesterday, but its re-insertion is rendered necessary by the following remarks in the Constitutionnel :]— We can explain the cause of this unusual pro ceeding : it was yesterday's Constitutionnel. A proposal for seizing yesterday's impression was, it is said, at first rejected, and afterwards ap proved of ; this occasioned the delay of the mails. We have read with scrupulous attention the number of our journal, which has been thus seized, and we are unable to find in it any thing but arguments stated with extreme moderation, for we should blush to imitate the language of the fanatical journals which have not been seized. However, the result of the prosecution brought against the Constitutionnel, on account of the article entitled "My Congress," by M. de Pradt, and our confidence in the justice of our cause, render us perfectly easy with respect to the con consequences of the new seizure. The annoy ances to which we are subjected will not prevent us from expressing whatever we believe will be advantageous to our country. We have pledged ourselves to our readers to do this, and we enter tain too much esteem and respect for them not to redeem the pledge. The copies of that number of the Constitutionnel -which contains the article entitled " My Con gress," will be restored to us immediately, in pursuance of the judgment of the Court. As soon as we receive them, they shall be sent to our readers in the departments.—(The Constitutionnel.) Letters from Bayonne of the 28th November .coatain the following piece of intelligence :—The King of Spain has refused to sanction the decree relative to patriotic societies. Some letters ad dressed to Quesada at Paris have been inter cepted by the victorious army.—(lbid.) M. Beltram de Lis, who quitted Paris by the orders of the authorities, has been arrested at Bordeaux, and all his papers have been scrupu lously examined. They were again subjected to a similar inspection at Behobie. M. Carassa, a Spanish merchant at Bayonne, has, it is said, been treated in a similar manner, and the Spanish Consul was not present upon the occasion. Immense quantities of warlike stores continue to arrive at Bayonne daily. The building in which military offenders have hitherto been con fined, is to be converted into a barrack : its for mer occupants will be removed to the castle of Dax. The Chancellor, Prince IJardenberg, died on his road to Venice. HAGUE, DEC. 3.—The news that Prince Alex ander Ypsilanti and some of his companions had been set at liberty, as some Journals stated, at the desire of Russia, is not confirmed. We learn that the letter from Constantinople, .of very recent date, states that a European com mercial house, established in that city, has pre sented to the Porte a plan for a loan of 40 mil lions of Turkish piastres. The conditions and security which the house required were not known,but the proposal had been mostfavourably received ; only the Divan bad reserved to itself to take so important a measure into mature consideration. Should this plan be really made, it would probably put a stop to the depreciation of the currency, which causes so much discontent; but,it would be very detrimental to the Greeks, who are much fa- voured by the exhausted state of the treasury, and the wavering of the Ottoman Ministry, which is the consequence of it. NurtEmnuaa, Nov. 2 3.—Mr. J. J. Schnele, merchant in Nuremburg, having addressed to the King a memorial " on the future commercial re lations of Germany," in which the author has allowed himself to use language most scandalously disrespectful. Ills Majesty has ordered the _Minister for Foreign Affairs to return it to him, with a severe reprimand. The Government of urtemburg has given a similar order. ITAMBURCiff, Nov. 29.—Letters from St. Pe tersburgh of the 16th say, that the winter had aheady set in, and the frost was pretty severe, so that the communication with Cronstadt was interrupted, and tl►e great bridge over tt►e Newa was removed. The Empresses had returned from their sum mer residences, Zarskojeselo and Gatschina, and taken up their abode in the winter palace. His Imperial Highness, the Grand Duke Michael, returned on the MIL from his foreign tour. Above 100 unfortunate Greeks arrived lately at Warsaw, having been obliged to quit their -own country. A subscription was opened for their relief. HANovErt, Nov. 20.—llis Royal Highness 'the Duke of Cambridge is expected here the clay after to-morrow from Dusseldorf, where he will part from her Royal Highness the Princes Augusta. - EXCHANGES. lIAMBURCM, Nov. 29.

In the sitting of the Cortes of the 24th, the budget extraordinary of the Minister of Marine was discussed. In the sitting of this day two propositions relative to the Court of Rome were adopted. The objects of these propositions are—lst, To take measures to prevent the circulation of a brief which condemns a work in which the inviolability of the De puties of the Cortes is asserted ;-2d, To intimate to the Papal Nuncio, and to the Court of Rome, under the proper diplomatic forms, that that Court will not be allowed to carry into effect any of its projects against Spain. General Morillo is at liberty in Madrid. It appears that the Fiscal Paredes has made a claim upon this General for the expence occasioned by sending an officer to the village of Molar to arrest him, and that General Morillo resists the demand. The Marquis de Castellar has just been brought to Madrid, and put in prison. The cause of his arrest is the part which he took in the affair of the 7th of July. He had been exiled to the kingdom of Valencia. The Duke of lnfantado has also returned to this city. He has published in the papers a contradiction of the report which was circulated respecting his plan for escaping to England. The Landaburian Patriotic Society increases in numbers daily. Riego, Adan, Galiano, and other members of the Cortes, attend its sittings regularly, and are the principal speakers. An animated discussion took place at the last meeting of the society. The Deputy Galiano alluded to the rumours which were in circulation respecting the declaration of the Holy Al liance. The applause with which every sentence he uttered was received, prevented us from hearing him distinctly. However, we were able to hear his conclusion, which was as follows : " If war be declared against Spain, it will prove the deetruc- tion of tyrants. The Spanish nation, forgetting the differences of opinion among themselves, and especially those which divide the Liberals, and supported by their representatives (who, like the Roman Senators, will never abandon their curule chairs), and, strengthened by the justice of their holy cause, cannot fail to be victorious; and their triumph will be that of all Europe. Let us be united and we shall be invulnerable." General Riego next addressed the assembly, and in allusion to the subject upon which M. Galiano had touched, he said— " Our present army is very different from that of 1808. It was then commanded by Generals who were destitute of knowledge and talents, and who committed the most glaring errors ; but now we have a Mina, a Ballasteros, an Abisbal, and other Ge nerals who will lead our soldiers to victory. Since the former period, young officers have been educated who are filled with patriotic ideas. Citizens ! fear not ; we shall over come our enemies, and the signal of attack will be for us the signal of victory." The following is an extract of a letter dated Madrid, Nov. 20, received yesterday by way of Bayonne :—" Never has the ' fermentation in the people's minds been so extraordinary as for these few days past, and especially on the night of the 17th, in consequence of the account of the falling of the funds at Paris and the reports of war that were circulated. The agitation was so great, that several patriots went in a body to the office of the Minister to know whether the Government have received any dispatches from abroad concerning the probability of a war ; but it was soon learned that only a commercial house in this city had received an express, stating the agitation on the Ex change at Paris on the 12th. However, the enemies of the sys- tem soon spread a report that the Holy Alliance had decided the armed interference in the affairs of Spain, and this news assumed such a degree of credit, that it was the general subject of conversation in all public places and private circles ; and if the leaders ofthe Landaburian Club had been allowed to take their own way, the capital would have been filled with conster nation. In fact, on the same evening several ecclesiastics and others, whom opinion points out as adversaries to the constitu tion, were publicly insulted in the•streets. The alarm continu. ed through the whole of the 18th, and in the night the same *house received an express, with the news that the funds at Paris had risen on the 13th, and that the reports which had caused the fall were beginning to be dispelled. On the other hand, the Government received on the 19th, at 2 A. 31., an express from its Minister at Paris, with dispatches very satisfactory in respect to the reports of war. On the 19th, in the morning, groups of people assembled in the Puerta del Sol, anxious to know the contents of the dispatches of the Duke de San Lo renzo, and they soon learned that he had written that the Congress had decided nothing with regard to Spain ; it is even affirmed that the Minister has said to his friends, that if he had received any unpleasant news, he would have immedi ately published it in the journals. Nevertheless, people's fears are not wholly dispelled, and they await with impa tience the result of the Congress. The merchants' expresses which arrive are surrounded and questioned by numbers of persons." BRAZIL. ( From the Gazette of Rio Janeiro, Sept. 26.) LETTER FROM THE KING TO HIS SON. My Son,—l have refrained from answering your letters be cause I waited for the decision of the Cortes. You will now re ceive the decrees, and I recommend to you to observe them, and to . obey the orders transmitted to you, because you will thereby gain the esteem of the Portuguese, whom you will hereafter nave to govern.; and it is necessary that you should give de cided proofs of your love of the nation. 'Vhen you write re collect that you are a Prince, that your writings will be seen by all the world, and that you ought to be careful not only of what you say, but also of the manner in which your reply is ex pressed. ♦NSR'ER OF Hlq ROYAL HIGHNESS TO HIS FATHER. Rio de Janeiro; Sept. 18. I have had the honour to receive from your Majesty a letter, dated the 2d of August, in which your Majesty reprehends me for my mode of writing and speaking of the Lusi-Hispanic fac tion which, permit me to say, holds your Majesty in a state o f compulsion, in which I and my Brazilian brethren sorely la ment you should be placed. I can write in no other way s , and as the Tines are to be scanned by the infamous Deputies of the despotic party of the Cortes, it is fit they should be so com posed. And, being now well informed that your Majesty is positively a prisoner, I write this last letter, on questions al ready decided by the Brazilians, in the same manner as before; because, with a perfect knowledge of the cause, I am convinced that in the state of coercion to which your Majesty is reduced, you must act contrary to your liberal opinion. Let my disin- 1 beritance be decreed—let all the aggressions of which a club of Carbonafi are capable be perpetuated, I shall never return. Before I die, I shall have to say to my clear Brazilians—' You see how I have exposed myself for the country—do you imitate me.' Your Majesty or ders me,—what do I say ?—the Cortes order rne, through your Majesty, to execute, and cause to be executed, their de. crees but for me so to do, it is first necessary that the Bra zilians should yield obedience to the faction. Our answer to this is, "'We will not !" If the people of Portugal have the right to form a constitution revolutionarily, it is obvious that the people of Brazil will have still a Letter right to the regula tion of their own affairs, seeing that they respect me and all the constituted Authorities. Firm and unshaken in these re solutions, I say to this sanguinary mob, calling God and all the world to witness, that I, as Prince Regent of the Kingdom of Brazil, and its perpetual defender, consider it right hereby to declare all the decrees issued by these factious, abominable, Machiavelian, disorganizing, horrible, and pestiferous Cortes, which I have not yet ordered to be executed, and all others which they make for Brazil, null, void, and inexecutable.— Thus are these decrees regarded by the Brazilians, who, all united with me, join me in saying to Portugal—nothing—no thing—we want nothing from you. If this frank declaration irritate these Lusi-Ilispanians, let them send their veteran troops, insatiable in the cruelties of civil w a rf a re, a nd w e w ill show hem what the Brazilian valour can do. If they dare to oppose our sacred cause, they will soon see the ocean covered with cruisers. Then, instead of the benefits we have been ac customed to confer, misery and famine will be inflicted on these Corypheos, and the unfortunate Portuguese will then know them well, and give them their just reward. They have been long kept in darkness, bat they will soon be undeceived. Were your Majesty here you would be respected; and then you would see that the Brazilian p eo pl e , w hi e they know how to value their liberty and independence, do not forget to honour the Royal authority, for they are not a hand of vile Carhonari and assassins, liket hose who hold your Majesty in captivity.— The independence of Brazil triumphs, and will continue to triumph, or death shall close our efforts. Brazil may be en slaved, but never the Brazilians—for as long as there is blood in our veins it shall flow for liberty. But it is for your Majesty to order, and not fur a foreign Cortes to watch, who never were a general Cortes, and who now arc only the Cortes of Lisbon. May God preserve the life and health of your Majesty, is the wish of all Brazilians. I am, with all respect, the son who much loves, and the subject who much venerates your Majesty, PEDRO. [The above being from a manuscript copy of the Gazette, in many parts illegible, some omissions have been unavoidable : if we had not been informed from respectable authority that it is a genuine extract, we should be disposed to treat it as a fa brication.—( The Times.) CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. The French mail, due yesterday, still remains out; the private expresses continue to arrive in due course. The express received this morning from Paris quotes the Rentes on Wednesday evening at 87f. 30c. being ten cents. higher than on the preceding day. If any news were commu nicated by this conveyance, they have not been permitted to transpire; indeed nothing of any public importance could be expected. The Consols this morning for the January account opened at 79k, and the transactions during the clay were not of any im portance. The variations were small, the highest value having been 79/, and the lowest 79k. The closing price was 794 On the Royal Exchange, those unconnected with public securities agree nearly universally in the opinion that the Go vernment of England must interfere in the event of an attack being made on Spain by the present Legitimate French Govern ment. To remain neutral under such an occurrence, would be treason against the liberties of Englishmen ; for its success must endanger the safety itself of the Empire. Already, by the criminal neutrality of England, has Italy become a pro vince of Austria ; and if the principle be followed up, in a very short period will European Turkey be incorporated with the Empire of the Magnanimous ALEXANDER. It therefore only requires the subjection of the Peninsula to the despotic rule of the Bo ti RBONS to render the whole of Europe more formidable to England than it ever was under the sway of the Emperor NAPOLEON. Its certain result must be the exclusion of Eng land from the Continent of Europe. The power of England, at the present moment, is quite equal to the glorious task of limiting the ambition of tyrants, and soon, in conjunction with the freemen of the Peninsula of Italy, and of Greece, will she again introduce into Europe the blessings of a real peace, founclect on mutual benefits and friendship. In the Foreign Funds very little business has this day been done. The holders of the bonds of European nations still expect that the vigourous interference of England may prevent the most iniquitous and unjust attack on Spain, at present threatened by the bigotted Administration of France, and they are consequently not disposed by too great a sacrifice of their property, to part with it until the result of the present uncertainty becomes more apparent. The French Rentes.are entirely nominal, fox hosti lities with Spain may work wonders with regard to the public debt of France. Some business has been clone in Spanish bonds at very low prices. Austrian, Russian, and Prussian bonds can not be disposed of, except at a considerable decline. Colombian bonds are three per cent. lower than the closing price of yesterday. At the Corn Exchange this morning, there was a lib era l su ppl y of every description of grain. Since last Monday the arrivals of wheat amount to 10,150 qrs., of barley 8,900, of oats 14,500, and 11,300 sacks of flour. From Ireland there have likewise been received 2,260 qrs. of oats. For the week ending the 30th Nov., the average prices by which the importation of Foreign grain is regulated, have been, for wheat 38s. 9d., barley 28s. 7d., oats 19s. 7d., rye 20s. Bd., beans 265. 2d., and peas 28s. 3d. In wheat there is a good deel of speculation, occasioned entirely by the prospect of war, and the demand is brisk at fully last Monday's prices. Every other description of grain is also quite as dear. In Mincing-lane colonial produce is considerably better sale. More than 4,ooolilids. of sugars having been sold at an advance of Is. per cwt. Coffee is likewise very steady, and rather dearer. Rum, which has been so long inanimate, is also now an object of speculation. In Saltpetre there is a considerable advance. Baltic produce is also inquired after ; and in proportion as speculations in pub lic securities become dangerous, every article of legitimate and substantial commerce improves in value. It was this day confidently reported in the City, that two Ad mirals had been appointed to the ships of the line now fitting out for foreign service, in different ports of Great Britain ; and that six regiments of infantry from England, and four from Ireland, had been ordered for foreign service. They may, how ever,be intended for Cub-.. A letter from Philadelphia, dated 9th November, states, that information had been received from La Guinn, of the 17th Oct. by which it appears that MORALES had evacuated Maracaybo, and returned to Puerto Cabello.—( Morning Chronicle.) MANsIox-IinusE.—TITHES.--Dr• Owen, Rec tor of the parish of St. Botolph, Aldgatc, again applied upon the subject of his claim for tithe, under the 37 II en.VIII.—TheLo MAYOR, who has received innumerable letters from all parts of the country relative to his conduct when the question was first submitted to his decision, stated that he had not yet been able to obtain the advice of Counsel, as suggested by the Act alluded to; but that when he had done so, for which he was allowcd"by the act two months, he would do his duty according to the law. His Lordship took the opportunity of saying, that he had been misunderstood in what he had said when this subject last came before him. He had given no opinion whatever on the system of tithes in general, a discussion upon which was not at al! adapted to the place in which the question came before him, even if he objected to that system, which he had not done. He had merely referred to the Act of Henry VIII., which w : .B brought before him, and which applied exclusively to certain Of the city parishes, and under which he was called upon to enforc e a clause which would have the effect of committing to prison a citizen of Lon , lon. He said, indeed, that before he t o ok such a step under an obsolete act, against which the city !lad petitioned Parliament, and which had so much affected property by unexpectedly augmenting the tithes of some small parshes from a few hundreds to as many thousands per annuni, he would take the time allowed by the Act to consider w hether there was not (as he understood there was) sonic other jurisdic tion pointed out by the law, besides that of the Chief Magis trate of the City, by which this clain would be enforced. But whatever might be his own opinion of the origin a l intention of the Act of Henry VIII., he should not hesitate to do what he found to be his duty, at the proper time. We understand tI.N Mr. OwEN - , who has ar rived at the Commercial Hotel, has been this day visited by several distinguished persons, among whom are, Sir WILLIAM CIIATTERTON, Arch deacon THOMPSON, the course of the day he waited on his Worship the Mayon, and the Bishop of CORK, and intends proceeding next to Castle-Freke, the residence of that distinguished philanthrophic Nobleman Lord CARBERRY.— (Cork Mercury.) LITERARY NOTICE. RIVINGTON'S ANNUAL REGISTER ; the History, Politics, and Literature of the We might justly reproach ourselves with a want of feeling and a due respect for departe► . worth, if we did not testify our sincere regret that one of the Partners of the old and esteemed firm of the RIYINGTONS has paid the awful debt of nature since we noticed the last volume of this truly valuable %York. The RIYINGTON Firm is, we believe, the oldest in this country, and it has supported its distinguished Literary, Poli tical, Moral, and Religious character from its origin to the present moment. Indeed, so high and so just is the estimation in which the House is held, that nothing is ever expected from it but what is calculated.to uphold our best interests in Church and State. The deceased partner of this respectable firm possessed such a character as might be expected from a gentleman so inti mately connected with its interests and reputa tion. We are sorry that we had only a slight knowledge of him ourselves, but all we did know fully confirmed the general estimation in which his judgment and his rectitude were held by those who had the pleasure of being acquainted with him.—lt is time, however, to direct our attention to the work before us. The Historical part is divided into sixteen chapters, and consists of a copious, judicious, and' impartial statement of all the transactions, foreign and domestic, that occurred during the year. which it records. The several heads of these chapters, which are ample, satisfactory, and peculiarly convenient, are classed together in a separate department.— The Historical part is written with sagacity, and is a comprehensive view of the state of Europe. The reflections on the past are obviously the result of attentive observation, and there is no overweening temerity in the conjectural views which are taken of the future. Nothing seems to be omitted, or to be negligently treated, which might properly excite the notice of the Philosopher, the Moralist, the Politician, and the Statesman. All the other departments of an ANNUAL REGISTER-State-papers, Characters, Philosophical and Literary Miscellany, Useful Arts, Geography and Statistics, Antiquities and Literary History, Poetry, &c., are selected with diligence and taste, and the whole forms an amusing and instructive Repository of most valu able information. The high character of the work is duly maintained, and altogether we can confidently recommend it to every class of Readers who may be desirous of storing their minds with important knowledge, and rendering themselves capable of appearing with advantage in society.

SOLEM QUIS DICERE FAESUN AUDE,IT LONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1822. [FROM A cJRRESPONDENT.] CITY, Twelve J'Ciock.—Owing to the non ' arrival of any expresses this morning, various re ports were in circulation implying that the French Government had stopped therrr; also ; that the boat containing an express was lost at sea, in conse wwnce of which Consols opened at 791, and remains steady up to this hour at 79 Half-past Twelve o'Clock.—A report is this moment current that three expresses have arrived from Paris ; but on inquiry we could not ascer tain it to be a fact ; it had however the effect of raising the New Spanish Bonds to 594 1. The Congress at Verona was dissolved on the 26th November. The final decision of the ques tion respecting Spain, therefore, is left entirely to the discretion of the French Court ; and not withstanding the numerous motives which are supposed to influence its Cabinet in favour of hostilities, we have stronger hopes that Peace may be preserved by the energetic re presentations of Great Britain at Paris, than if the Congress still existed, to give its collective impulse to the Negociations.
