FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PA nls, SEPT. I.—The And de Inc Charte of Nantes contains the following article on the ~affair which took place in that town on the 26th August A deplorable scene was exhibited in this town the day before yesterday, at the hour of • Change, and on the Place du Commerce. Every body was offended. The Swiss soldiers who 'form the guarcrestablished at this spot, made a charge ott the citizens, and no business was done .on Change. A. number of the merchants who witnessed the affair went immediately. to 'the Mayor, but this officer not being returned from Paris, they waited on M. Barbier, his chief offi cer. lie was still at the office (Mairie), whither they immediately repaired. Near the door, they •.met M. M. Delatullaye and Doucet, -other as sistants to the Mayor, who were coming out of .the place. One of the merchants explained to them the object of their visit. The two officers 'replied that M. M. Barbier, Petit Desrochettes,. and Bernard (the son), would hasten ,to the ...Tlace du Commerce ; they invited the merchants - to enter, and requested some Of them to explain -the Matter, as it was not possible to attend to - 300 people at once. • " Accompanied by ten citizens, among whom -were several merchants and men of property, , the two officers went into the Council Room, 'where they were informed of what had . hap ..pened. They listened with attention and kind ness to the recital, manifested considerable in *rest, and a-lively solicitude for their fellow citizens. Many of the citizens, and particularly thefather of a family, whose contributions to the State place him ip the clan- of the cligzbies, expressed themselves with energy, but without departing from the respect due to the consti tuted authorities. " At this time a Serjeant came from M. Bar bier, at that time on the Place du Commerce, to beg the other two officers to repair to him. The citizens then took their leave, it being under stood, and agreed to, that they should address a written complaint to the Mayor. " The Officers of the Mayor collected on the spot, from a number of citizens, all the facts of the business. " It was easy to point out to them that when taa Swiss soldiers ranged before the guard-house, and after having already made two charges on the inhabitants, were preparing to load their mus kets, that irreparable mischief would have been produced if the people had not cried out, ' Let us go to the Mayor—let us complain to him.' " The Prefect, informed of the circumstance, came to the Place du Commerce, and his presence was of great advantage. " A small number of Swiss arrived at the guard-houge. The Colonel came on horseback, accompanied by a servant. M. de Brea, the Com • mandant, also repaired thither. " A detachment of Gendarmes was ranged be fore the guard-house. " During this time the Officers of the Mayor conversed with several respectable persons, and were surrounded by a great multitude. There was also a multitude of people before the guard house. " The Gendarmes having moved forward to disperse the crowd, received orders from the officers, M. M. Bernard and Doucet, to retro grade. This conduct does honour to th© Muni pal Body. " The officers having requested the citizens to retire, gave orders to the troops who had come to reinforce the guard to vacate, the spot. The Gendarmes, and the few Swiss I have mentioned, obeyed instantly. The Swiss Colonel retired about the same time. ' " The officers of the Mayor having promised to receive the report which the inhabitants said they intended to make, left the spot, which was soon clear of .people. " The greatest praise is due to MM. Barbier, Petit-Desrochettes, Delatullaye, Bernard (the won), and Doucet, the officers of the Mayor. They behaved in these critical circumstances so es to merit the gratitude of all the inhabitants of Nantes. • '" I thought it necessary . to exchide the facts from my narration, because they are clearly ex p-ressed in the report which has been made to the - Mayor, an'd signed by 165 respectable people. The report is as follows: " TIIE MAYOR OF NANTES. " SlR—The undersigned citizens have the honour to state , to you the following facts, which they witnessed : " M. Polo, sen. cloth merchant, living au Change, on going -to the Exchange yesterday, Aug. 16, saw several Swiss soldiers on the Place du Commerce dragging an individual to the guard house, and at the same time ill treating him. In the first heat of his-indignation he exclaimed bud enough to be heard that they might drag a man to prison without beating him. On this -the Officer who commanded at the guard house commanded dim to be silent, and7threatened him with imprisonment. M. Polo asked by what authority -he•did this and the Swiss Of „fleer gave no other answer but drew his sword. M. Polo being •without arms retired. " This altercation, which took place at the time when the merchants assemble_, excited such general interest, th a t ever y one hastened to the • spot. At this instant the Swiss Officer ordered out. all his men and commanded them to charge the spectators, which -order was executed with much zeal and exactness. 44 4 Many persons who had already entered the Exchange • hearing the cries of indignation whicn the conduct of the Of ficer called forth, inquired into the cause • of the disturbance, and on learning it, 'united themseves to those who were put.- stied. The Officer ordered a second charge, to which several citizens fell victims.; some were wounded by bayonets, and • some by blows with muskets. M. Augustus Hignard, a mer chant, who bad the misfortune to fall in retiring, was picked hp by the Swiss and ill treated, and dragged to the guard house. Another citizen, M. Lasnier •(the son), a grocer, in endea vouring to aid his compatriot; was slightly wounded in the hand, in parrying a blew which .might have been of serious conse quence to hiM. " Afterwards united at the guard house, the SWiss soldiers were perceived loading their muskets; exasperated at such con duct, a number of the citizens repaired to the Mairie, to inform those who had a right to interfere how the inhabitants were treated. " M. Hignard avoided by his fall a blow with a sword .which would have severely wounded him had he continued up right. The civil 'authorities, recognizing his innocence, were anxious to release him, .and required to make the present complaint: " The undersigned demand that the Swiss Officer shall be : punished ; they also demand the protection w.hich the munici pal authority owes to all the citizens. They represent to it that .the presence of the Swiss regiment in this town excites eon , Ainual .disputes anti quarrels between the inhabitants . and the military, such as have never taken place at Nantes since the Regiment de Foix was quartered . within its walls. " We are, with great respect, &c., your most obedient humble servants.—[ Here follow the 10 signatures.] " c Nantes, August 27, 11122." ' " This representation was given into the hands of M. Barbier, the first assistant to the Mayor, and executing his duties ad interim, this morning at eleven o'clock, who-protnised to transmit it to the' Procurcur du Roi. A ship miner of Nantes made a complaint individual:y to the Mayor, on the facts which are detailed in the above rnpresontation ; and his letter has also been sent to the Procurent. " M. Augustus Ilignafd was arrested this morning, at six o'clock, by a warrant from M. Le J uge I nst ructeur. " Orders to attend have been sent to=day to several persons who witnessed the facts stated in the above representation. " We remark that the other Journal of Nantes of the same date, the title of which it is unne cessary to mention, does not say one word of the events of the 26th."—(Constilutionnel.) • '('he Gazette of Augsburg announces that the King of Naples is expected at Leghorn.—(La Quotidienne.) M. Lentercier, the French Tragic Poet, Au thor of Agamemnon, has been engaged two years at a great work, in which he proposes to bring regenerated Greece on the scene. The title of his work, which is in a state of great forward ness, is Les - Martyrs de Souli, or Epirus regene rated." COURT OF ASSIZES AT POITIERS SITTING OF AUG. 30. In the Sitting of this day nothing transpired to throw the least light on the character of the plot, or of the principal actors. Witnesses were examined as to the share which six of the ac cuSed, Fradin, Iticque Lembert, S4achault, Ledein, and Duf resne, had in the transactions. The testimony was, as usual, very contradictory, and the facts proved were very trivial. The witnesses varied in many instances from the former depositions, and in other cases pleaded forgetfulness of facts they had pre viously sworn to. On the whole, very little resulted from the day's proceedings. COURT OF ASSIZES OF PARIS. AFFAIR OF ROCHELLE. SEPTEMBER I.—The Sitting of this day opened at half past eleven o'clock, and closed at a quarter past one. The Lieut.-Colonel of the 7th Regiment of the Royal Guard en tered into several explanations respecting the transactions at Orleans, between the accused Dories, and a serjeant;of his re giment. 31. Legouix afterwards presented the defence of the accused Pommier. To-morrow, at ten o'clock, the Advocates of the accused will resume their defence.—[The •trial draws to a termination.] SPAIN. BAYONNE, AUG. 27.—The accounts which we have received of Queseda's expedition confirm the statement that he had projected a junction with the Trappist, who, on the 16th, was at Balbastro, in Arragon, where his troops commit ted the greatest excesses for 24 hours, in consequence of the resistance made to him. The junction was to take place at Tafailla, and would have been effected but for a sudden move ment of the Empecinado, who, however, had no orders to pur sue the Trappist, but only the factious dispersed at Siguenza, who had retreated towards Calatayud. In fact the Empecinado learnt in this city on the 18th, the projected junction of the Trappist and Quesada, and resolved to march to Balbastro, which the first had left the same day, taking the road to Huesca; he put in requisition all the carriages and conveyances that he met with, and on th 21st at day-break overtook his adversary, who most certainly did not expect to meet him. The Trappists were surprised, and terror seized them ; the Empecinado com pletely rented them in less than an hour, killed 200, made a great many prisoners, and took 60 horses, the baggage, the trea sure, and a part of the pillage which they had carried of from Balbastro. The Chief himself was nearly taken, and only es caped in the confusion. Meantime Quesada reinforced the posts on the whole chain of the mountains from Ochagavia to Ta failla ; the cavalry pushed its reconnoissances as far as' Sadava, three leagues from Ayerbe, and Colonel Cabra, with 1260 men, made Anducursion on the 24th into the valley of Bastan, into which he bad before penetrated, threatning at the same time Yrun and St. Sebastian, where great apprehensions were felt. On the other hand, the unta circulated its proclamations through the whole country on this side the Ebro, the invasion of which doubtless seemed to them very easy. By this movement Quesada had placed himself between the troops of Tabuenca and those of Guipuscoa, which already observed. him ; but the route of the Trappist has, without doubt, disconcerted his plans, for the troops of Colonel Cabra have fallen back upon had, abandon ing the valley of Bastan, from which they have carried off arms, ammunition, and pro iisions. The movement of the bands of the three provinces towards Navarre, shows that the Defenders of the Faith projected some great blow, but at present they seem all to have returned to heir positions. No more troops have yet arrived in these pro vinces to reinforce the Constitutionalists, except the militia of Toro, which was already at Vittoria on the 24th, and 200 horse,. which Espinosa hint:gilt with him ; • but it is certain that two battalions would arrive at Vittoria on the 26th or 27th, and two others at St. Sebastian, coming by sea from Galicia. 'The bands and guerrillas of the two parties continue to de solate Navarre and the three provinces. The following is the proclamation which has been clandestinely printed at Bayonne, and circulated by the Defenders of the Faith in Spain : " ,Navarrese !—The Provisional Junta of Government, pe netrated with the heroic sentiments which animate you in fa your of religion, the King, and the country, exhorts you, for the second time, eagerly to hasten, inspired by these sublime ideas, to defend the greatest cause that our ancestors were ac. quainted with. The impious conttitutional system directly attacks religion and the King, and consequently a horrible anarchy, with all the symptoms of a bloody revolusion, 'threatens us from such a Government. This ruinous code, the work of treason and crime, offers us by experience a picture representing all kinds of excesses. The history of nations, and afflicting events of our days, agree in demonstrating this truth: - " If, the first time that we called upon you under the ban ners of the King, arms were wanting, contrary to our solemn promises, you must attribute this wholly to the machinations of the evil minded, who by means of gold were able to check fora moment the rapid progress of our first designs; but the manoeuvres and intrigues of the perfidious Liberals being now baffled, we can ensure the reality of all that we promise. We have in our power abundance of arms of all kinds, ammuni tion, money, ,clothing, and every thing necessary to triumph Over our enemies. We garrison an inexpugnable fort, which will serve as a support and bulwark to the arms of his Majesty; and also as a prison for those who declare themselves the ene mies of our cause. We have 4,000 infantry with 300 cavalry, who, ,in their first essays in war, have been the admiration and terror of their opponents. " Navarrese !—The insults suffered by our holy religion, which is publicly outraged by the arms of the Liberals, excite terror. The proclaimers of the most perfidious of men cry aloud—' Down with Religion ! the Devil for ever.'—(llfuera la Religion ! 11 viva el demonio.' ) " The soldiers of the royal army will bear testimony to this truth. The people of Erro and V iscaret deplore the profanation of their churches, and the sacrilegious robbery of the sacred utensils, caused by the vandals of Spain. " The dreadful violation of Artajona and Anorbe ; the pil lage of Vidangez, Azeona, Iturgoyen, Valle de Erro, and many other places ; the assassination of the innocent people of Mu niain and Puente, who were put to death without being allow ed the spiritual comfort of penitence, are authentic proofs of the atheism that inspires them. And in sight of all this, will one of you hesitate a moment to take part with us P The hour of struggle is come, and those Who do not issue forth to the combat will not be worthy to retain the names of Catholics, of Spaniards, and Navarrese. The Standard of the Faith is un furled ; and the banners of the King are every where displayed, Hasten, then, to join them ; and, bravely fighting for our cap tive King, Ferdinand, this action of impious republicans will instantly vanish, who endeavour to deprive us at once of eter nal felicity and of temporal happiness, by plunging us into an abyss of incalculableevils. Unite without delay, and you will give to Spain a day of glory and renown, which will descend to the latest posterity, with the immortal names of those who haye defended, at the hazard of thbir lives, the cause of God, of the King, and of the country: " Given in the palace of the Government at Ochagavia, the [6th of August, 1821 (Signed) . " JUAQUIN LACARRA, President, ad interim. " JOSE, JUAQUIN DE 31ELINDA. 44 MANUEL 1)E URIZ. " FRANCISCO BENITO DEARASO." Our accounts from Madrid to the 23d say, that his Majesty hiving expressed a wish to go either to Sacedon or the Escurial, the Ministry gave him to understand that the moment was not favourable : first, because there was not a sufficient number of troops to escort him, and some danger might be apprehended to his person ; and then, because the new ministers have not yet been able to make themselves familiar with the affairs of their departments, and his Majesty's absence at so critical a moment would be a hindrance topublic business. They have, however, assured him that, when tranquillity is restored, as there is every reason to hope, his Majesty will be able to leave the capital for whatever time he thinks proper. The health of the Queen; for whom every lady feels the most lively interest, does not improve. Ilis Majesty has appointed Major-General Zarco del Valle, Minister to the Court of London. C Y, N I .:EDNESDAY EVENING. A private express from Paris is reported to have come to hand to the great leader of the monied interest, but as no altera tion of the least importance occurred in the value of European public securities,the information received by this conveyance can not have relateini; affairs of public interest. In Paris,at the latter end oflast week; ft *as universally understood that in Greece the Christians had gained the most signal advantages over the bar barians, and •that-advantages had continued, during the whole of July, of the ttOst favourable description, to attend their great efforts in the : cause of liberty. One letter, however, written by an Englishman, had been received, communicating intelligence from Zante of the 31st July, of a very different complexion, but it was )toped that the Turkish Allies of England had on this occasion decayed their friends, as they had already done in more instances than one, for it appeared impossible that the subjection of the Grecki could have been accomplished in a so litary month. The next accounts, however, must be waited for before the truth can be fully ascertained ; and if treason has found its way.amongst the Grecian Leaders, every British sub ject hopes that ,an Englishman has not been made the agent on the occasion, as An Englishman (unfortunately for the national honour) was the ; instrument chosen for annihilating the Tiber ties of Spain on' the return of Ferdinand. Since Monday there is a very small supply of every kind of grain in Mark-lane, but the consumers are not inclined to pur chase at the presentprices, knowing that in a few weeks the ar rivals of every desCription must be much larger than the demand can take off at the current value. Wheat accordingly, even of the finest quality, scarcely maintains Monday's prices; and it is not possible to effect any sales of inferior descriptions without a great sacrifice in the present nominal value. Barley is very scarce, and as some of the needy maltsters must go to work, prime new samples are worth 28s. though a large bulk of old and stained was sold at 18s. a quarter. Making Barley must decline as soon as the market fills, for Irish wheat will be used this'season by the distillers, unless barley be extremely low. In the week preceding the 24th of August there were sold in London 12,080 quarters of Wheat, of Which the average price was 38s. 4d. a quarter. 'A good deal has been said about the profits of the mealman, but the following calculations will show that there is a great delusion respecting the profits attending this branch of trade : The average price of wheat is 38s. 4d.

CEREMONY OF LAYING THE FOUNDATION STONE OF TILE LIBRARY OF TILE LITERARY AND PIII- LOSOPHICAL SOCIETY OF NEWCASTLE. MONDAY, SEPT. 2.—This being the day appointed for the Duke of SUSSEX'S entering this ancient town, at an early hour all was bustle, and every person Appeared to be on the alert to greet his Royal Highness, and those who had official duty to perform were repairing to their respective stations agreeably to the arrangements made. As early as Thursday last the Mayor, Accbone Surtees, Esq. had summoned the Corporation, but, from causes not worth naming, it was not till Saturday the freedom of the town was voted to his Royal Highness ; and much to the credit of the Mayor and the Sheriff, Alfred Hall, Esq. every possible arrangement had been made to pay their respectful congratulations to his Royal Highness on his arrival in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and the following notice was gene rally distributed yesterday : " The Sheriff of Newcastle, intending himself the honour of receiving his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, on the Tyne Bridge, on Monday, Sept. 2, at twelve o'clock at noon, to con gratulate his Royal Highness on his arrival at the entrance of this ancient and loyal town, and to proceed with 'him from thence to the Mansion House, requests the honour of the Bur gesses and Inhabitants of Newcastle to meet at the Exchange at half-past eleven o'clock, for the purpose of accompanying him (the Sheriff) upon the memorable occasion." His Royal Highness arrived on the bridgiabout twelve o'clock, accompanied by a number of Gentlemen, the guns at the Castle at this time firing a Royal salute. The Duke pro ceeded to the Mansion House, where he was received'by the Mayor, Recorder, and Corporation, and the following Address was presented to his Royal Highness in the presence of the most distinguished characters in the neighbouring county:— SALES OF TIIE ABOVE. Six sacks of Flour, at 355. - - - . £lO 10 0 One bushel of Seconds, at 255. - . 0 6 0 One bushel of fine Middling, at 20s. - - 0 4 0 One bushel of coarse Middlings - - 0 2 6 One bushel of best fine Pollard - 0 1 3 One quarter, four bushels, of bran, at 51. - 0 7 6 Being the produce of five quarters of Wheat, at 1 38s. without any interest of capital - £lO 10 3 One sack of flour manufactured from wheat only 56 lb. a bushel, will produce 80 quartern loaves, by no means of the best quality, and which, at 7d. a quartern, will amount to 21. 6s. 10d., leaving the baker on this description of bread 81s. lid. to pay baking, salt, and yeast, " for each sack of flour. By great attention, and considerable capital, living profits cer tainly may be made in the mealing and baking trades, but they are not like the brewing trade. There is no monopoly, there are no vested rights, there are, no licensed houses, any person may be a mealnian or baker, and may have the most perfect freedom in the purchase of the raw material, and in the sale of the manufactured article. In any street, and in any house, he may in person, or by his agents, transact his business without the concurrence, interference, or permis sion of licensing magistrates ; no value except the value of building, furniture, and situation attaches itself to his pre mises; and there is no ideal value in the trade, excepting what is acquired by civility and fair dealing. It would be fortunate for the community it the brewers were under as little restric tion, for if the sale of beer were as 'free, much capital would be employed in this department of trade, and competition would obtain for the community moderate prices anti good quality. The public have a right to expect that private interests will no longer deprive them of the benefits of free competition both in spirits and beer, and that the law will not long prevent the English distillers from producing such an article as must de stroy the temptation to smuggling, at present so destructive as well to the Revenue as to the morals of the people. The pre sent most abundant crop must naturally much increase the comforts of the great majority of the inhabitants of the United Kingdom ; and the laws should be so modified as not to prevent the full and entire enjoyment 'of this great gift of Providence. The late dullness still continues in the English funds. The 3 per Cent. reduced are steady at 818 BN, and Consols at 80]x. The 3A per cents. are 920 ; the Old Fours, 99n, and the New Fours 99i ; India Stock 2,501, and Bonds, 48 7 9 ; Consols for the October Account opened at 80, fell to 80k, and closed at 80i sellers. Not tnuch . is expected from the exertions of the Duke of WELLINGTON at the meeting of the Holy Alliance; indeed, it puzzles many even to guess what may be the object of their collecting their wisdom at this particular season. They cannot venture to interfete with the internal Governments of Portugal and Spain, for their doing so would only create a war for liberty, and would consequently be dangerous to themselves. To restore Greece to the legitimate Government of Turkey they cannot accomplish, until - the mutual hatred betwixt the Christians and Barbatians be allayed. To divide that fine Empire amongst themselves would no doubt be as convenient as it would be agreeable, and this is the solitary reason which can be 'even fancied for this most august assemblage, as no doubt it will be denominated The English fundholder does not think that their wise deliberations can do him either good or evil, and consequently prices continue very steady. Foreign securities remain at neatly the same value as yester day, except the Chili, in which, as the Contractors have re fused to extend the time for payment, a decline of k per cent. must be quoted.

" May it please your Royal Highness, " We, his Majesty's dutiful subjects, the Mayor, Recorder, Aldermen, Sheriff, and Common Council of Newcastle-upon- Tyne, beg leave to express the happiness we experience in being permitted to congratulate your Royal Highness on your arrival at the ancient and loyal town of Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
