FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, Nov. 4.—Letters from Bayonne, of Oct. 29, give very little news from Spain. It is said that Guergue, who gave the order to massacre the 160 men to whom a capitulation had been granted at Estrella, is taken prisoner. .Guergue, as well as the Cure Merino, to make use of the words of the Drapeau Blanc, is well known for his opinion in the North of Spain. Travellers who met the band of Quesada during their precipitate flight before the Constitution alists, inform us that they are in the most miserable plight. They are almost naked, and dying with hunger. lie was directing his route towards Guipuzcoa ;—his retreat into France is cut off. It is thought he will endeavour to reach the .coast to embark. A part of the forces under Zarco Del Valle, Espinosa, and Jaureguy, are • in pursuit of him. On the 28th repo'rts prevailed at Bayonne that orders had arrived at the Sous-Prefecture to make the Spanish Refugees repair into the in li - ferior of France, or return to Spain. An order of the Municipality has been published here (Bayonne) for all Spanish Refugees lo present themselves during the day before the Commissary of Police. This measure is perhaps in consequence of the demands so frequently made by the Spanish Government, that the factious Refugees should not be allowed to retain any power of encouraging disorder in Spain. All the park of artillery which was on the glacis has been sent to Marrac. It is complete ) und will suffice for, an army of 50,000 men. General Charles O'Don ne l, w h o i s s till here, proposes, it is said, to assemble all the Spanish refugees to form with them the skeleton of a . 7.lew regiment of the Faith ; but who will com plete it ? The Chiefs of the Serviles have had several conferences among themselves, and with some other persons, which have astonished many people. The directing Spanish Committee of the coun ter-revolution has appointed a Jnnta for the Bis cayan Provinces. The device which the Servile Committee has adopted is—" Religion and the King, or Death." The Servile Chief, Salaberry, shewed before -his execution at Pampeluna profound repentance for having assisted in plunging his country into a civil war. He avowed that he had allowed -himself to be deluded, and he asked pardon of his country. The three regiments of Engineers are to fur nish, it is said, each three companies, to form .part of the Army of Observation.—(Constitution nel.) Another letter from Bayonne, of the same date, says that Mina is prosecuting his prepara tory operations : he leaves nothing to chance; 'is plan is comprehensive, and his first movement will be decisive.—(Journal de Paris.) Yesterday the King received, in private audi ence, M. the Duke de Fitz-James, President of the Electoral College of the Department de la Vendee.

ZANTE, OCT. 12.-f1 firman of the Grand -Seignor of the 10th of last month, directed to the Pacha of Lepanto, enjoins, that in ,conse quence of the infidel Christians persisting in their rebellion, - and finding men to purchase them when they are made slaves, and even when they become -the property of Turks, if the hardness of their hearts does not permit them to embrace Islamism, they shall not in future be made slaves, and every one of the faithful, armed for the cause of the Prophet, is to put every Christian to death who asks quarter. The days of favour for the impious race of the Nazarenes being passed, never again to be revived, the only one God and his prophet having ordered it thus at present and for the future. In order to fulfil his.; orders and accomplish his high will, all the slaves not sold, belonging to the Grand Seinnor, ac cording to the law, shall be put to death im mediately after the receipt of the present order; and hereafter the house of Harb (Christianity) shall be treated in this mariner, from the begin ning of the next campaign, in the two hemis pheres, Anatolia and Europe. consequence of this sacrilegeous order, 12 Christian families, and a multitude of the inha bitants of the Morea, detained in the Castle of Lepanto, have been beheaded' in the fortress. Among these unfortunate people were the father, mother, and sister of a man named Demetrius, formerly the servant of the Consul of France at. Patras, who had saved a part of these people, and almost the whole of the population of the village of Drepanium, situated near the Castle of the. Morea.* We are so accustomed here to such horrors that our Government has found this natural and according to order of things. In consequence it has been prescribed to the British Chanc , 4lor of the Consulate of Patras not. to interfere in favour of aay,Christian ; a direction which appears very -useless to a man to whom the Greeks are in debted for many of their misfortunes. This in. dividual, as well as the the Consul Descamisado of Spain, who has particularly distinguished him self-by a blind fury - against the Greeks, merit the en tire confidence of the Turkish Government; and if Ali Pacha returned to the world he might safely take them both into his service.—(Drapeau Blanc.) TRIESTE, OCT. 20.—Reports are again in cir culatiun of another engagement between the * It is useless to observe that this Christian Consul, proud .of calling himself " a subject of the Bourbons, the defender of the Cross, the stay of the miserable," is the Chevalier Hugues I'9uqueville, whom Providence has miraculously saved and re storeii to his country.

They were seen on Oct. 6, in the waters of Milo ; the Turkish fleet appeared to direct its course to the Dardanelles. VIENNA, OCT. 23.—Official news from Bucha rest announces that Prince Ghyka, Hospodar of Wallachia, arrived on Sept. 26, and was solemnly installed Oct. 6. On the 27th September the garrison of Bucha rest, composed of Turks and Tartars, under the orders of the Kiaja Pacha and the Sultan of the Tartars, evacuated that town. On the 21st the Saporagers had begun their march to cross the Danube. Immediately after the departure of the garri son, the Capidigi- Veschi, Ka va nos Oglu, ele vated to the dignity of Vasch-Vaschli-Aga, was appointed to take care of public tranquillity. His troops, amounting to 2,000 men, occupy dif ferent parts of Wallachia, and perform the duties formerly confided to the Arnauts. Letters from Jassy of the 11th, say that the Turks evacuated that city on the 9th to return home. The new llospodar, Jean Stourdza, ar rived on the same day with a numerous suite. The police agents arrived with the new Vaschi- Veschi-Aga amount to nearly a thousand, and are spread abroad in different districts, as in Wallachia. ln this manner, the total evacuation of the two Principalities is carried into effect by the troops of the Grand Signior.—(Austrian Ob server.) Chourschid has caused the three Archbishops and the Priniat'e whom hp sent into the Morea to propose an amnesty, to be put to death at Ter novo. They could not succeed in the project be cause Odyseus would not let them pass. NuttEmBERG, OCT. 28.—The Grand Duke Michael of Russia has arrived at Warsaw. The Grand Duke Nicholas is also expected there from Petetsburgh. The Grand Duke Constan tine, it is said, will again repair to the frontier provinces to make several regulations relative to the cantonments of the troops under his orders. The division of the corps Sabanieff, which lately quitted Bessarabia, has been disposed of in Malone, at a short distance from the former, from where it was only removed on ac count of want of subsistence. For some days there were reports of new orders transmitted by the Emperor Alexander to the Graud Duke Constantine, and to General Wittgenstein two days before leaving Vienna for Verona. These orders are said to be very important, and of a nature to make it be believed that a change has taken place in the dispositions of Russia with regard to the Porte. A letter from 13rody,of the 18th of this month, just arrived, announces that all the Ottoman troops which were able to go from Bulgaria to Thessaly, have received counter orders . . Thus Chourschid Pacha has only received a reinforce ment of 6,000 men from the Danube, forming the first column of the army, which was to have re inforced him. DARMSTADT, OCT. 28.—The Germans about to set out from Marseilles for the Morea amount to nearly 500 men. The expence of sending them will amount to 75,000 florins ; they are to be provided with arms, ammunition, and some field pieces. To prevent every species of em barrassment, they have repaired in companies of five men to the place of their destination, and the regulations have been so made that five indi viduals who set out in the morning from any place, are replaced by five others. k and Turk hfl STocKnoLar, OCT. 18.— It is reported that oar future Princess Royal is expected to :.onte here in tbe month of May next year. A ship of the line will receive her on board at Warnemunde, and convey her hither. CHRISTIAN A, OCT. 18.—The Storthing continues its la bours with great activity, and there is every reason to hope that its sittings will be ended in the course of this month, or the beginnit , of the next. His Majesty sees with satisfaction, that all the represcnratives act in concert in promoting one com mon object—the honour and welfare of their country. HANOVER, OCT. We learn that we shall be shortly made acquainted with very important changes, madeby highest authority, in the Constitution of our country. These changes are stated to have been announced by the last courier from Lon don, and to be the result of the journey of his Royal Higness the Duke of Cambridge, and of the Privy Counsellor Heppen stedt. There are various reports of the nature of these changes, which, it is said, will affect the administration of public busi ness, and also the relative positions of some.of the departments. The Cabinet Ministry itself will undergo, it is thought, some alteration. FRANKFORT OCT. 23.—Ac c Ount s f rom Vi enna say, t h at his Majesty the FRANKFORT, of the Two Sicilies intends to resign his Crown, and then to fix his residence in the Austrian dominions :~~..."_ SPAIN. BAYON NE, OCT. 28.—( Extract of a private letter.)—' Royalists had lately disposed of a great number of prisoners on . this side Urgel, and near the French frontiers. Some Spaniards, who have taken refuge on our territory, aided by some of our revolutionists, formed a design to liberate them ; in order to effect which, they organized a band of about one hundred French smugglers, who were well .-acquainted with the passes' Happily the plot was timely discovered; four of these wretches are in custody, and a rigorous pursuit is making for the others• This audacious enterprise gives reason to believe that the Liber- ." The dux had entertained the hope of exciting some commotion in the South of France."-•_(Gaeette de France.) OCT. 29.—The mail from Spain is not yet arrived, but we expect it every moment.. The frontier provinces, which about three weeks ago were in a tolerable state of tranquillity, have assumed a very different appearance since Espinosa summoned the troops away ; the bands of Royalists have become more numerous and daring than ever, and pillage and assassina tion are the order:of the day. There is no safety for travellers, who have been plundered in many' , places. The inhabitants, especially if they are attached to the Constitutional system, are still more in danger, so that the Liberals, dwelling in the small communes, have been obliged to abandon their habita tions, and take refuge in the garrison towns. Besides the bands of Zabala and Barrulia, it may be said that the majority of the peasants have turned banditti. In consequence of this state of things, and the presence of a band which holds the road between Burgos and Madrid, the Government has resolved that the mails shall not pass by Tomosierra, but by Valladolid ; and if the garrison on the road front Burgos to Irun cannot be reinforced so as to be a match for the bands there, we must not be suprised if the mail should be sent from Val- ladolid to Sant Ander by way of Palencia, and embark there for St. Sebastian or some other port. Such is the melancholy picture of Spain, whose Government seems not to possess suf ficient physical or moral force to check the enemies of the sys-• tem, who seem to increase at the approach of winter. The - - plan of the Royalists to insulate Madrid, is insensibly carrying „ into execution in the North East Provinces, while the bands on the frontiers of Gallicia are increasing, and intercept the .communication with that Province. As for New Castile: it is notorious that no one can venture out of the capital without risking to be plundered by the Guerillas ; that pis, the poor Spaniards in those countries threaten to take arms, not to de fend the cause of the King, for that would be stating a false hood ; but to plunder the rich. The Constitution is the pre- text. Andalusia and Gallicia still remain steady, but a re verse in Catalonia might induce them to revolt, and therefore we see Mina act with the greatest caution, avoiding any general action, and remaining in the fortresses, where he continues to reinforce himself. The Ministry is certainly in a most critical situation, having to combat, with an insufficient force, so many internal enemies, as well secret as open and declared ; to struggle With the fatal effects which this state of things pro duces on the minds of the people ; with the total disorganiza tion of all the branches of the Administration ; without finan cial resources, but disadvantageous loans with some French houses; and, lastly, it has to cope with foreign influence, and the efforts of the Royalists, who were more determined than ever to overcome all obstacles to restore the Throne to its legitimate power. We leave you to judge what will be the re sult of this state of things, which the peaceable Spaniards would willingly see calmed even with the aid of a foreign army." We are of opinion that the above statements, which we have taken from the correspondence of a very respect able person at Trun, are rather - too highly coloured, and that the fear of the inhabitants of an invasion of Quesada has con tributed to make them view things in so unfavourable a light, though it cannot be denied that the situation of Navarre and the three provinces is very critical. Hay:past Five, P. sr.—No mail yet nor any news from the country beyond Irun and Urdatz, so that any statement we might make would rest on no solid 'foundation. •Pampeluna was tranquil on the 24th.-:—(Bayo7zne Papers.) The Echo du Midi of the 30th October says—". We have received Urgel Gazettes to the 25th October. The following are extracts : " Don Pablos :Hirailles has communicated to the Regency the following intelligence " A shot fired from the fort of Castelfollit has wounded Gen. Torrijos; he died in consequence on his arrival at Cerbera• The enemy having attempted to carry the fort, were repulsed with considerable loss. A battery which he had constructed and mounted with artillery, to reduce the fort, was totally de stroyed. The enemy have in consequence lost all hope of get ting possession of the place. " The news of the capture of Corunna by the Royalists daily acquires strength. The most distinguished Liberals have, it is reported, been arrested, anti thrown into Fort Saint Antonio. " A considerable number of the Royal Carabineers have joined Zaldivar, whose feats of arms have struck terror into the hearts of the Descandsa dos of Andalusia. " The death of the Lieutenant-Colonel of the Regiment of "Valencia was the cause of the defeat of the Constitutionalists under Espinosa in Navar re. Their loss is not positively known, but it is computed at 482 killed and about 100 wounded." FROM THE FRONTIERS OF SPAIN.—The Constitutional Brigadier-General Torrijos has attacked the Army of the Faith, and has been repulsed with a loss of 1300 men, and himself mortally wounded - by a bomb splinter. The battle took place at Castelfolit. .The Army of the Faith is co m p ose d o f a b out 20,000 men, and occupies au excellent position. M. d'Eroles, Lieut.-General, is 39 years of age. He possesses considerable talents, and has so perfect a knowledge of the country around him, that he is enabled to act with great advantage. By skil ful manceuvring he has succeed e d i n advancing `a column on Navarre, which has obliged Mina to Weaken his front, and especially his left wing. Cardona, if not re-provisioned; must shortly fall.—(Journal des Debats.) CITY, JEDESDAY EVENING. At the corn Exchange since Monday the fresh arrivals of every description of grain are exceedingly small, con trary winds preventing the supply expected from the northward from reaching the market. '1 is no improvement in the va lue of any article, nor at the present moment bare the agricul turists the mostidistant prospect of any relief in their difficulties. The two trades of Brewing and Distilling must be laid open to public competition, for under different laws the consump tion of grain may be vastly increased, without any additional expellee of the consumers. This subject, with the advantages of an export trade, offers such great benefits to agriculture, that discussions of the present licensing system cannot be too fre quently pressed on • the public attention. lt is as interesting to the'grower as to the consumer, for the present laws only be= nent a few large capitalists, and are highly injurious to the agri cultural interest—to the mercantile classes—and to the great body of the. community. All monopolies are hostile to national industry; and the landholders, both in the Lords and Com mons, cannot serve themselves better, nor confer greater ad vantages on the country, than by an immediate revision of the Beer and Spirit Laws, as soon as the Parliament assembles for general business. Very little business has again been done in the British Funds.—The Consols for time opened at 82e 5 , and closed at 82i. Many expect them dearer before the close of the account. Three expresses arrived this morn ing from Paris, which bring a small improvement in the French and Neapolitan Bonds there, at the conclU s i on of Monday's market. Here this day the French Rentes are about one quarter per cent. dearer, Spanish Bonds on the contrary ar e aga i n d epresse d , though it is difficult to observe any reason for their being so. There is no chance of success to the Priests and Smugglers impiously denominatir , themselves the Army of the Faith in that country. The people • generally will unite with the Constitutionalists, for they now know the difference betwixt fanatical oppression and well regu lated freedom. In the Colombian Bonds there were great va riations. They opened at 821, and rose to 87.—The closing price was 8.5. The following is the general currency of this day.

During the last week he visited several institutions for education, and examined some establishments of merited labour. He dined with the Bishop of Down, and spent some days with the Duke of Leinster and Lord Cloncurry. He had also an interview at the Lodge, in the Phoenix Park, with the Lord Lieutenant, on Wednesday last. His Excellency received him with the utmost kindness, and listened with at tention to the detail of his plans. BISHOP OF CLOGHER. [From The Freeman's (Dublin) Journal of Tuesday last.] ECCLESIASTICAL. PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE LATE BISHOP OF CLOGHER. METROPOLITAN COURT OF ARMAGH, OCT. 21. The Office of his Grace the Lord Archbishop of Armagh, Pri mate and Metropolitan of all Ireland, at the promotion of Thomas Tilly, the Proctor of said Office, Against The Ron. and Right Rev, Percy Jocelyn, Lord Bishop of Clogher, and one of the Suffragan Bishops of the Metropo litan Church of Armagh. This Cause of Office was this day called on for hearing in the presence of his Grace the LORD PRIMATE, and of four of his Suffragen Bishops, viz. the Lords Bishops of KILMORE, DERRY, DRoMORE, and ItApHOE, and of the Right lion. Doctor RADcLirr, his Grace's Vicar-General, and of other distinguished and respectable per sonages. The Bishop of CLOOHER having been thrice called in open Court did not appear ; and in pain of his contumacy and contempt the cause was proceeded in to an hearing, and to its final determination. • Sir,IIENRY Mr.arnmr, the leading Advocate for the Office, stated the case. He lamented to find from the rules heretofore, and on this day pronounced in this cause, that the Right Rev. Prelate has not appeared in this Court in person or by his Proctors. The absence of an accused person, when a crime is sought to be established against him, to those who take a part in the accusation, must ever be matter of serious regret and anxiety, but never more so than in a cause like the present, whose importance in respect of the person accused, the enormity of the offence imputed, and its certain result if established, has imposed upon him, and those who have been entrusted with, and must take a part in its conduct and deter mination, an heavy responsibility and painful duty, and which are considerably added to and increased by his Lordship's ab sence. The absence of his Lordship has also occasioned much delay, inconvenience, and exposure, which would otherwise have been prevented, and from this circumstance has been ren dered unavoidable. But this circumstance, though it may be regretted, may yet be of importance in the ultimate decision of this cause, and the consideration of the grounds upon which it is to be supported. This is a cause to which his Grace has given his high name and authority. The right to institute such a proceeding belongs to him as a superior of the Church, and is necessary for the due exercise of his spiritual authority over those who are subject to him and his visitations, and the exercise of this right by him as the Archbishop or Metropolitan over his suffragan Bishops, is now so well established in law, principle, and in precedent, that it cannot be disputed. In this case a more than ordinary discretion has been observed. A person has been selected for and appointed Promoter of this suit and Proctor of Office, who, from his well known integrity, information, and experi‘ence as a ' Proctor of the Prerogative Court, and of other the Ecclesiasti cal Courts in Ireland, could be safely entrusted with the con duct of a cause in itself, and in its consequences, so important to the individual and the public; and with an expectation that every thing necessary fur its maintenance and establishment, would be adopted and performed ; and if any thing was then wanting to sustain that opinion, it would be now justified by the proceedings which have been taken in this cause. A fur ther caution has been observed in respect of, and prior to the commencement of this cause, not as a measure absolutely ne cessary, but as one of singular prudence and discretion. The charges were serious and of an heinous nature. It was right to have an early assurance that they were probable and could be sustained. For this purpose the provisions and directions of the statute of the 6th of Geo. Ist. Chap. 6, were resorted to and followed. A person who had been a spectator of the com mission of those acts, by the Bishop and his associate in crime, and could positively swear to thefn, was required so to do previous to the institution of this suit. Such a person was procured. He was personally examined upon his oath in the presence of his Grace the Lord Primate, and upon that examination,. which was reduced into writing, and forms now a part of the record in these proceedings, he swore to such facts as left not a doubt as to the propriety of, and ne cessity for the proceedings. The citation in this cause was accordingly issued and delivered for execution. It was en trusted for that purpose to the proper Officer of the Court, and with a direction to serve it upon the Bishop, or at his proper place of residence—his palace in the city and diocese of Clogher. On the 21st day of August last, that citation was returned into this Court with certain affidavits annexed to it, by which it ap peared that every effort and due diligence were used, and in quiry made for the Bishop, so as to have him served with that citation. Upon that return being so made, his Grace was pleased, and according to law, to decree a citation Viis et Modis, and to be executed not only within the Diocese of Clogher, but also in the Archdiocese of Dublin, where it was understood or known that the Bishop had an occasional residence. A sufficient time was given fur the due execu tion. of these processes, and for the appearance of the Bishop. Every effort was used to serve him with these citations, and to signify to him and to the public the commencement of this suit, and the necessity for these proceedings. These citations were posted upon the doors of his Palace and of his Cathedral Church, upon the doors of his house in the city of Dublin, and of the Church of that Parish in which that house is situate. Copies of those citations were served upon the Dig nitaries and Officers of his Church and Diocese—upon his men of business—intimate friends and relatives, and so extensive was the inquiry for him, and great the efforts to serve with Process, and to certify the commencement of the proceedings, and its necessity and import, that his Grace,-an the fith day of Sept. last, was pleased and according to law, to declare him contumacious, and in contempt for his non-appearance. And it was not until the 26th of Sept. and after an entire month was expended in an effectual attempt to procure the appearance of the Bishop and hisdue submission to this High Court and its proceedings, that a liberty was given to the Proctor of Office to exhibit those articles which contain the charges of crime and immorality which have since become the subject of proof, and the foundation of a sentence of deprivation in this cause.—These proceedings are thus detailed and adverted to in order to show the deliberation with which this cause has been conducted, and the anxiety that has been manifested to give to the Bishop an opportunity for his appearance and defence. But this exertion has been ineffectual, and to this hour he remains wilfully absent and in contempt. By this conduct he has much increased the length of pleading and the burthen of proof. In his absence it was necessary to allege and prove many facts which would have been admitted or established by his appearance and deed of proxy--his qualification, and the jurisdiction of this Court would have been in this manner admitted or established, and the formal and necessary proofs to sustain this part of the case would have been much lessened in their number and amount. The:pleading which has been thus exhibited and to which full and sufficient proofs have been applied, and upon which the sentence of the Court is alone to be founded, contains within it and in its detail the many circumstances necessary for its sup port and establishment, and shall be here shortly ati vertea :b;• The Bishop of Clogher is an Ecclesiastic, and as such to the laws of the Church He has been for many Year" 3 in Holy Orders. In the year 1809 lie was 10M:t inted ! Q s united Bishoprics of Leighlin and Ferns; accasi e n, was duly consecrated and enthroned, and he then swore claic cal obedience to the then Archbishop of Dublin, as his politan, and subscribed to the canons of the cb ure „ b ; es eleven years he acted as the Bishop or pastor of that Piss and with a character and conduct which did honour to self and his high Office, in so much that in the year 1 8 ` 2° ' little more than two months after the accession of his Pr , * Majesty to the Throne, he was deemed worthy ofailvaPce and was accordingly translated to the See of Clogher' to its high honour and advantages. On that occassion he the oath of canonical obedience to the then Lord Primate Ireland, his Grace's late, and much-lamented, predecess°,r And in the month of August, in the same year, he attendens his Grace the r l :itriennial visitation of, and was visited by on that Lord Primate, as one of his Suffragan Bishops. Thes Le are sustained by legal and appropriate evidence.
