FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, Nov. 18.—A. courier, who left Verona on the 12th, arrived last night at the office of the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The return of the Viscount de Montmorency is announced for the end of this month. It may be therefore infer red that the great questions which are supposed to occupy the Congress are not yet determined, but that they soon will be.—(illoniteur of Mon day. , Viscount de Montmorency was to leave Verona on the 16th.—(Journal des Debats from theEtoile.) A Journal of to-day announces, that a depu tation of the Council-General of commerce and manufactures was yesterday to present an address to the Minister of the Interior; in which the Council would point out how the mere apprehen sions of war with Spain had injured important in terests ; and that it thought it its duty to make the Government acquainted with all the evils which would result from war, should it unfortu nately ensue. The. Council consisted of Messrs. Odier, Ternaux, Delessert, llomberg, Jacques Lefebvre, Lafond, Balguere-Shittenberg, Outre quiii, Jean Charles Davilliers, the elder Scilliere, -Louis Perree, and Cottier.—(Constitutionnel.) A letter from Strasburg, dated Nov. 13, an nounces that several companies of regiments of artillery stationed there are expected to march for the South of France. One of the regiments of infantry in garrison there was expected to march to Paris.—(Journal de Paris.) The courier who left Verona on the 12th met Madame Montmorency at Milan, where she was waiting for her husband.—(Quotidienne.) A letter from Frankfort on the Maine, dated N0v.12, has the following remarks on the alarm ing rumours brought to that city by the couriers from Paris :—" These rumours," it says," appear to be unfounded. In fact, we have received direct news from Verona which tend to make us • believe that war with Spain is neither so immi nent nor so probable as these Paris rumours pre • tend. The dispatches sent from Verona to Madrid, through Paris, are far from containing a declaration of war. Their contents are, rather confined to a categorical declaration made to the Spanish Government by the Ministers assem bled in Congress at Verona, in the name of the five Great Powers : but the signature of the Duke of Wellington attached to this docu ment, appears sufficiently to prove that this piece does not contain any threats of invasion. The disposition of the Court of St. James's on this point admits no doubt."—(Journaidu Commerce.) All the journals of a certain party pretend that the result of the elections proves that public opinion approves the plans of the present admi nistration. If the elections were free, there would be some sense in this remark ; but when the contrary is notoriously the case, such reason ing is mere mockery.—(lbid.) The medical student Merque is to be tried on 111,3 19th, togother with Colonels Fabvier and Dentzel, on the charge of having endeavoured to procure the escape of the four convicts'in the affair of La Itochelle.—(Journal de Paris.) A private letter from Verona, in the Journal de Paris, states, that the King of Bavaria is ex pected at Congress, and that the Duke of Wel • lington, since the arrival of a courier from Eng land, has been present at all the conferences. ,ELECTION OF DEPUTIES.

(In copying the above aiticle, the Journal du Commerce makes the following remark :—"'This news is tun in sub stance. Q'Bonnell actually quitted Bayonne on the 13th to proceed to Irati, but not to take the command of an army which. does not exist. He took with him a chaplain, 12 off cers a standard, and twelve loads of warlike effects. But the .11uehe d' Aquitaine might have added' that Quesada was gone to Paris, and that Egma was to set out for Toulouse; and since that paper is usually so wellinformed respecting the Army of the Faith, it might just have given us a hint of the cause of this disldcation of the insurgent staff at Bayonne:" PERPIGNAN,. Nov. 11.=The Regency are now installed at Puycerda,- but the families of the members, and their baggage, have been sent to Liivia, a town which forms the frontier on the side of France. The Governor of Puycerda is a Frenchman, named Peyre. We are assured that he has caused several of his countrymen, who -are inhabitants•of the town, to be arrested. NUREMBERG, Nov. 11.--(Extract of a Private Letter.)— . " We have received some details from Vienna of the operations - of the Persian armies. Trebisond is not yet in their power, but this place is menaced with an immediate attack. The city of Erzerum, principal fortress of Armenia, is closely blockaded. Bagdad is entirely invested, but as the Turkish garrison, which is very strong, defensl.themselves with much obstinacy, it may 'hold out' for some time. The Chiefs of the Persian Army, -.4:however, have declared in the most formal manner that they (-will not go into winter quarters till Bagdad has capitulated. We have received letters from Trieste, which inform us, that a con- -siderable corps of Greeks had penetrated from Livadia into the Southern part of Thessaly, where they attacked and completely , defeated the corps which Chourschid Pacha had been able to col lect from different quarters. Young Bdzzaris had made such skilful manoeuvres at quitting the mountains to get into the rear of the positions which Chourschid had taken up in advande from Larissa, that the Pacha was forced to retreat in great haste to reach Macedonia. We expect circumstantial details of this event, which is of great importance for the Greeks.—Count d'Einsiedel, Ambassador Extraordinary from the King of Saxony to our Sovereign, has repaired to Munich , where he solemny demanded the hand of the Princess Amelia for the Saxon Prince John, brother to the Queen of Spain. The King of Bavaria having agreed to the demand, the marriage was yes terday celebrated at - Illunich by proxy. For several days there will be brilliant fetes in that capital. TouLouse, Nov. 13.—Count de Gispert, the Minister of the Regency, left this city a few days ago for Urgel. While here he experienced that reception which his personal qualities and his devotion to the cause of the Spanish monarchy merit. Ile found in the suffrages of all the friends of the Throne the assurance of the ardent wishes which are entertained for the success of the noble designs of the Spanish Regency. His de parture gives a formal contradiction to the reports which have been circulated of a panic terror hav ing taken possession of the inhabitants of the Seo, and also of the Government. Not only nature and art protect that place against a coup de main, but we besides know that an army of re serve occupies its environs. Besides, the constitu tional armies, to which so much courage and resolu tion are ascribed,have enough to do to maintain the defensive, as all the engagements have ended in favour of the Royal troops. The taking of Castelfollit, it is true, is an exception; but that event has caused irreparable losses to the constitutional army, which has become more bar barous in consequence of its slight success. There is not the least doubt that the declaration which France has made to the Congress of Verona will, when it is made known, produce a great impres sion on the soldiers of the Faith. It will aid their views, and facilitate their success, now that the Cortes are organizing terror throughout the whole of Spain.—( L'Echo du Midi.) A letter from Bayonne dated the 10th, states as follows :—" About a million of francs have just passed through here, forming the first por tion of a far more considerable sum transmitted from Paris to the Regency of Urgel.—(lbid.) FRANKFORT, Nov. 12.—An English Consul (Colonel Doring) set out from Vienna on the sth of this month to repair to Verona. From Peters burgh we learn that the Minister of War has call ed to the capital a number of the Superior Officers belonging to the Staffs of the Armies of the South and of the West. The Russian Minister of State, Count Capo d'lstria, set out from here (Frankfort) this morning for Switzerland. It is said he will approach the frontiers of the Mi lanese, from where he may be easily summoned to Verona. A vessel from Constantinople, ar rived at Odessa on the 18th of October, an nounces that the wretched condition of the Turkish grand fleet which had entered the Dar danelles, had excited great consternation among the inhabitants of Constatinople. ODESSA, OCT. 22.—The news .from Constan tinople of the 18th of this month is, that the Turkish grand fleet has re-entered the Dar danelles in a very bad condition. SEMLIN, Nov. 2.—According to the latest news from Larissa, dated October 18th, Chourschid Pacha had posted a corps of Albanians, of 8,000 men, at the commencement of that month, be tween Zeltoni and Platamona, to cover the town of Larissa on that side. The Greeks soon en tered into a secret negotiation with Czelenden Bey, the Albanian Chief, and this General with his whole corps not only went over to the Greeks, joining his arms to theirs, but he arrested with his own hand his former fellow soldier, Abbas Bey, of Prevesa, who desired to remain faithful to the Porte, and. delivered him to his new Allies. Chourschid is thus deprived of his Albanians, who were also his best soldiers. Since then he formed the resolution of abandoning Larissa, and retreating into Vitoglia. The news from Arta is also favourable to the Greeks. Letters dated October 18, announce that Prince Maurocardato, after six weeks negotiations with the Tribes of Albanians who inhabit that country, had at length determined to dissolve again all connec tion with the Porte. The Pacha of Arta, as al ready stated,had been defeated by Maurocordato, and had shut himself up in the town of Arta. The Albanians, who had obeyed him till this moment, rose against him immediately, and made themselves masters of his harem and of his whole family, whom he had sent before the battle to Vrione. His nephew, whom he had appointed Pacha of Berat, is among the prisoners. The town of Arta itself is now besieged by the re volted Albanians. The letters add, that the Pacha has sent to Maurocordato to treat for an armistice. SPAIN. TAKING OF BALAGUER. BARCELONA, Nov. 6. POLITICAL GOVERNMENT OF THE PROVINCE OF BAR. CELONA. His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief o the Army of Operations has transmitted the fol lowing dispatch by an extraordinary courier : " Head-quarters, Balag►uer, Nov. 3. " It is eleven in the morning, and the national troops occup y Balaguer. . " At the moment I had ordered the commencement .of the besieging operations, and had caused a bridge to be thrown over the Segre for the passage of the troops, the enemies of our liberty fled precipitately, and took refuge in the neighbouring mountains. They have abandoned all their artillery, ammu nition, and magazines. In their flight they threw into the river the greater part of the arms which infamous chiefs had placed in the hands of these manicas. " The cavalry is pursuing them, but I fear that the difficul ties of the ground will defeat the efforts made to overtake them. This bulwark of their liberticidal faction exists no longer for them. " I make this communication for your and theprovincial de putation's satisfaction. " God preserve you many years. " FRANCISCO ESPOZ Y MINA " To the Political Chief of the Province of Catalonia." " Rejoice, Barcelonians, at this new triumph of the arms of t he country, while awaiting the moment when these deluded men must decide between repentance and the extermination with which they are threatened. " Barcelona, Nov. 5. " JOSE CAMPO." [FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.I Von will perceive from this new advantage which our army has obtained, that the example of Castelfollit, which is reduc ed to ashes, has spread terror among the towns occupied by the rebels. In fact, the population of Balaguer opposed any at tempt to (defend it, and it is stated that the inhabitants of Berga will adopt the same course :. so that the insurgents, who had formed the project of maintaining themselves there, will be compelled to abandon the place on the approach of Mina, who is looked up to with the greatest confidence. Some per sons remark that he is slow in his movements, but they do not pay attention to the difficulties which the country presents at each step. In addition to this, recollect that his system is to attempt nothing without a moral conviction of success, and you will admit that this General is worthy of every praise. According to all appearance we shall soon hear of the tak ing of Berga, and next of the Seo d'Urgel. Dismay has got to that extent among the insurgents, that none of them are willing to shut themselves up in the places which they wish to defend ; and we are on the Point of being entirely freed from those bands which have desolated part of this province. On the evening of the 4th, the armed force proceeded to the convent of the Franciscans, and arrested 80 Monks, who were ordered to be transported, and were immediately embarked on board two ships belonging to Port Mahon. Their destination is not yet known. Some say they go to Malaga, others to Al gesiras. The trial of the Capuchins is not yet terminated. Col. Costa will march hence to-morrow with 1,500 men.- 'Journal du Commerce and Journal de Toulouse.) SEO D'URGEL, Nov. B.—As I anticipated in my letter to you of the Ist, Mina has carried into execution part of the plan which he was then supposed to have formed. His troops have entered Balaguer. The apparatus of attack was most formida ble. Ten pieces of cannon were mounted in battery against a place destitute of walls. To avoid el:Fusion of blood, and to save the town from being in a few hours reduced to ashes, the Royalist troops evacuated it, and retreated towards the Conque de Tremp. The Baron d'Eroles has taken a position at Talaru, 15 leagues front the Seo. 'We are ignorant whether Mina will attempt to force the passage, or will proceed to Mequinenza ; but we shall soon learn what movement he makes. Vieb is still closely blockaded. Notwithstanding all the re ports which have been circulating for these 24 hours, nothing positive is known. It is, however, generally agreed that if Mi- lans does not receive prompt succour, Vich must fall. It is this moment reported that troops have left Barcelona to reinforce Mina. It will not be surprising if part proceed to wards Vich to relieve that place. Fresh efforts are expected on the part of the Constitutionalists : their preparations are enor mous.—(Journal de Toulouse.) MADRID, Nov. 7.—The Patriotic Societies, more particu larly the Landaburian, are numerously attended. The taking of Balaguer, and the general success of the Constitutional armies, have caused great joy here. Mina is receiving reinforcements from all quarters. Ten millions of reals, part of the late loan, have been sent to him. Several Monks, and other persons who had concealed them selves in the convent of Nitestra Senora de Alocha, have within these few days been arrested. The convent is still surrounded with troops, and the Political Chief and some Judges are em ployed in examinations in the interior. It is said that a great quantity of arms and ammunition have been found in the con vent and the Retiro. The noted Merino, after having been beaten, has also been taken. He fled to Sepulveda ; but Capt. Segovia, of the Infante Regiment, pursued him thither, and surrounded the town with troops. Ile afterwards entered with a small detachment, and proceeded to the house of an apothecary, where Merino and ten of his followers were found. This Chief, who made so much noise a few days ago, suffered himself to be taken in the most cowardly manner, and without offering the least resistance. — Thus has finished the military career of this man, who for these two years past has been the cause of much disaster in Old Castile.—( Journal du Conzmerce—Journal de Paris, &c.) BAYONNE, Nov. 12.—After the affair of Los Arcos, the Army of the Faith in Navarre rallied, as we have stated, to the amount of 1,500 foot, and 100 horse, in the yallies of Uro,, Roncal, and Irati. It appears certain, that Charles O'Donnel is to take the command of the army. He leaves this town to day. We are assured that 1,200.000 francs have been remitted to him, and that it is promised that he shall not want Money, and this promise has determined him to proceed. We perhaps shall soon hear of his fighting against his brother Alexander, who commands the regiment of the Imperial Alexander ; such are the fatal effects of civil war. The little town of Santo Domingo dela Calzadas in la Rioxa has experienced, on the part of the insurgents commanded by Zabala's Lieutenant, named Barrutia, the same excesses as were committed at Estella. About 400 insurgents entered that town, and perpetrated the most horrible aggressions during the few hours they stopped. The house of Gen. Espellatta was completely stripped. They afterwards returned to Biscay. On arriving at Ordugna, the Political Chief of Bilboa attacked them, at the head of the militia, and completely routed them. Four were killed, and about 20 taken prisoners.— ( Journal de Paris,) BAYONNE, Nov. 13.—Gen. Velasco has arrived at Saragossa and has taken the command of the troops at Arragon. General Torijos entered PamPeluna on the Bth. inst. to t:.ke the com mand instead of Gen. Espinosa, of whose operations we know nothing. General O'Donnell is to set out from Bayonne to-morrow and Will go to the valley of Roncal, where the remains of Quesada's army, to the number of\ 1,500 men, are now col lected. General Quesada is going to Paris, and Eguia to Toulouse, , aS it is affirmed. The reason of the separation of these three Generals is not known here. The passage of couriers backwards and forwards between Paris,and Madrid is very frequent. _ _ _ Letters from Madrid of the 7th, affirm that the Government had received the day before the most important dispatches from Verona, which were read in a Council of the Ministers, and of the Councillors of State held the same evening. It is believed hat they relate to the modifications proposed to be made in the Constitution ; but there is no doubt, that they will not be ac ceded to, and that the friends of the Constitution will prefer a war against all the world. P.S. General O'Donnell has this moment departed, with his Chaplain, twelve Officers, ten waggons loaded with military stores, and one standard. He is going post to Iraty. The accounts from Madrid to the Bth chiefly relate to the Sittings of the COrtes. The Landaburian Society not only con tinues its Sittings, but is more frequent than ever. There is a succession of orators, who all endeavour to encourage the spirit of the people, and even to blacken the enemies of the Constitu tional System, either by the name of Serviles or of Anel leros. On the evening of the 3d, M. Romero Alpuente made a long speech, to unveil the view; of the partisans of, the two Chambers, and the danger which would ensue to the liberty of all Spaniards, if the Patriots were weak enough to yield to this project. After the meeting broke up, and the audience departed, seve ral communeros, and even some ladies, perceived that their cloaks and upper garments were cut in many places with scis sors. This discovery excited extraordinary indignation. Information having been received by the Political Chief, that a conspiracy was carrying on at Madrid, and that a great quan tity of arms and ammunition was secreted in the convent of Alocha, and in the Retiro, the commanding General ordering these two places to be surrounded on the 4th. The letters of the 7th say, that in consequence of the investigation in the con vent of Alocha, three monks were arrested. It is observed, that in consequence of the new laws a great number of individuals were preparing to leave Madrid. The Indicador, referring to letters from Saragossa, of 28th of October, says, " that the Royalists evacuated Balaguer on the 27th, and that the Constitutional troops entered it the same day." The same Journal s l ays, " that Mina has 10,000 men under his immediate command, exclusive of the garrisons, of the troops in the Province of Tarragona, and the garrison of Barcelona (1,500 men). Cardona and Vich were still attacked daily by the Royalists. The reinforcements sent to Catalonia were wholly on the two banks of the Ebro, which are infested by numerous bands. Considering the situation of Catalonia and Lower Arragon, the success of Mina is less important than it appears ; and if the Royalists defend, as they have done hitherto, the line from Balaguer to Manresa and Cardona, and the Constitutional troops do not receive speedy reinforce ments to repair their inevitable losses, it is to be feared, as winter is approaching, that they will be forced to suspend their opera tions. The advance to Urgel is the least difficult, but it would, perhaps, oblige Mina to scatter his army too much. We know that he has asked for 10,000 men, which the Minister has not been able to grant. Tranquillity is, besides, disturbed in New Castille by a band of 1,200 men from Catalonia, and in Old Castille by Merino, who has collected 60 horse and 600 foot, but was totally defeated on the 31st October by the Colonel of the regiment. Lusitania, with only 36 horse and 100 foot. Merino lost 60 killed, 313 prisoners, 30 horses, &c. &c. He himself escaped by the swiftness of his horse. BRAZIL. Extract of a Letter dated Mareio( about 20 Icaguesfrom Bahia, September 27, 1822. " By our last respects you will have learnt that the Rio Ja neiro squadron had arrived here. Lahalut, the Commander of this expedition, has been to Pernambuco, and the Govern ment there have given him 230 men ; his force now consists of 435. This expedition, however, is completely lost by being put under the command of the said General (who is a Frenchman) : he has thought proper to put the second in command, Lieutenant-Colonel Martins, Major Tounay, and a Captain, under arrest ; and on the 22d sent the Commandant - Jf this place to request the immediate attendance of all the English at his quarters, which of course we all refused. Upon which he sent a strong armed force to the consul's house, who shut his doors, and refused to admit them. They broke hi s doors open, and took him prisoner before the General : after which they came to our house, and they likewise broke open our doors, and took us prisoners before the said General, the object of which was to question us regarding the attempt one of his officers had made to go to Pernambuco; but we told him we should answer no such interrogations, except before a ' competent authority. Finding us thus determined, he set us at liberty. Our Consul is preparing his documents for Mr. Chamberlain, the Consul-General in Rio, and likewise for the Marquis of Londonderry; and unless this unwarrantable and scandalous violation of our treaty is severely noticed by our Government, the name of an Englishman will no longer be re spected, and we shall be thrown open to the insults of every bad intentioned person. Our treaty with Portugal, which up to this period has been held sacred, is by this man grossly vio lated. Our news from Bahia is to the 13th instant. General Madeira continues still in a strong defensive state ; his force L consists of about 5,000 men, and, we are informed, excellent soldiers ; but unless Portugal can continue to send him forces, he will soon have to surrender : he is surrounded by upwards of 8,000 Brazilians, but they are undisciplined men. The en mity between the Portuguese and Brazilians is very great." REMARKABLE DISCOVERY IN GALLICIA. Friday, A Mr. Jolt?: CHMIELECKI having read in Kirch ner's Annals a conjecture that the subterraneous caves and pas sages.in Podolia had a communication with those below Kiow, resolved to examine a site in Czorikow, to discover any traces of subterraneous caves in that direction. A cavity in the ala baster rocks, overgrown with grass and weeds, was found to be an opening made by art, which had, however, been choked up with -earth and rubbish. When the workmen had cleared away the earth before the entrance, a mephitic vapour issued from the opening, which so affected them, that they fell sense less on the ground ; but on being removed into a pure atmosphere, soon recovered. On the following day, Mr. Chmielecki returned with the town clerk and six resolute peasants, provided with swords, pistols, torches, and' candles, and descended himself into the cave; well armed, and with a lighted torch and tinder box. Having hold of a rope of 300 fa - thorns, he crept through the narrow entrance, which is about 10 yards long, into a subterraneous excavation, which resem bled a spacious and lofty oval hall, hewn in alabaster, and had a very pleasing effect. Here he rested for some time, and then called to his companions who were waiting , at the entrance, and who after much persuasion followed ' him.— On further examining the cave, they discovered several pas sages of various sizes' connected with each other, all curiously hewn out in alabaster, and covering a large extent. But whether these passages extended to a great distance—whether they have an issue on the surface or not, were questions which they could not resolve, as they had got to the end of their line; and'would not venture to proceed without a clue. After remaining there four hours, they were obliged to retreat by the pres sure of the long confined . air, which almost extinguished their torches and impeded their breath. The results of their exami. nation are as follow :—All the subterraneous vaults appear to be formed partly by nature,. and partly by art : they contain several halls, or rather spacious vaults, the walls and roof of which are of pule alabastee'. They communicate by means of several passages running in different directions and of va rious breadths, some of them ,large enough for a coach and horses to turn in. One of these caves has a near resem blance to a kitchen, for they found upon the hearth, raised of several layers of alabaster, fragments of charcoal and remains of a kind of wood (fresnia, summer cherry,) which is not a native of the country, near the excavation. In some places they discovered human skulls, which ei-urnbled into dust on being touched. They likewise found a silver coin, of about the size of a sixpence, on which, but with much difficulty, the name \ of Hadrianus is to be deciphered. They also saw seve ral earthen vessels, resembling modern dishes, but did not touch them. The Committee of the County of Ayr on the Fiars met on Wednesday, and prepared their Report. After considerable investigation and some discussion, and, particu larly, after a full description by the Sheriff Substitute of the mode pilesently practised in that county of striking the fiars, and an ,explanation of the principles upon which that practice proceeds, the Committee saw no ground for changing that method, and resolved to report that it would be prudent to abide by it. They, in particular, saw no reason for striking more than one general average, nor any necessity, in striking this average,to take into view a greater space of time than is done atpresent. As the method adopted and practised, now for some length of time in the county of Ayr, has, they believe, given satisfaction in general, they see no necessity for any additional legislative measures on the subject, and conse. quently see no propriety in sending a delegation to Edinburgh to prepare the terms of the proposed enactment. A report to this effect being drawn up, a meeting of the County is to be called to take it into consideration._( Edinburgh Courant, Nov. 18.) r * • ' 41: ' ? • * MASONIC NOTICES FOR NEXT WEEK.
