FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, DECEMBER 11.—The King transacted business yesterday with the President of the Council. The English Ambassador dispatched yester day two couriers, one for London, and the other for Verona. It is calculated that the number of young soldiers which remain disposable in the class of 1821, and called out in active duty, is from 22 to 23,000 men.—(Journal de Paris.) M. Cuvier has just given in his 'resignation of the office' of Member of the Council of Public Instruction. L'Etoile, which hitherto only made, war on tUe Journal des Debats, is now engaged id hosti lities with the Quotidienne. The latter will be contented with nothing less than absolute power k Spain ; and last 'evening, the .Etoile says that unly cunning and perfidious men can .attribute such an intention to the French Ministry. It is .clear that all the Ministerial Journals are beat-, abont the bush.—(Le Constitutionnel.) MM. Guise, 'Legracieux, and Cassano, re-, •nonsibleeditors of Le Constitutionnel, Le Cou, .iier Francais, and Le Pilote, who had given 'themselves up before the Court of Cassation had decided on their. appeal, have been set at liberty. Le Memorial Bordelais tells us that the article of the Moniteur, arrived by the courier of the 4th, bad produced some effect among commercial people at Bordeaux, 'and had caused colonial - produce to be in great demand.—(/bid.) O'Donnell occupies Ochagavia, Irati, Erros, and Baneal. He expects every moment to be attdcked by Torrijos.. Madrid continues-in a state of-very precarious tranquillity. -If the police were less inquisitorial, it is probable that commotions would be fresuent in the capital. ' • According to a convention concluded between General d'Autichamp and General O'Donnell, the latter is bound to send back into France all military deserters, who pass over--to the Army of the Faith. General d'Autichamp, it is said, has authorized -O'Donnell to assure such deserters of full pardon provided they return forthwith. Advices from. Portugal state that the province of Braga has spontaneously revolted against the Constitutional Authorities, and that numbers have rallied under the insurrectionary standard. This revolt may very possibly change the 'disposition, of that country towards Spain ; but its more irn-' mediate effect will be to free the Spanish Royalists in Gallicia from any fears of the Por tuguese troops, who must shortly be marched to another quarter. The Chief Bessieres, Colonel of the Army of the Faith, nominated by Baron d'Eroles, Gover nor Commandant of Mequinenza, has arrived in that fortress, --which is well provided, and will long hold out against the Constitutionalists.— Velasco is charged to lay siege to, it ; but he is ill prepared to fulfil his instructions.--(rour:rral .des Dlbats.) PERPIGNAM, DEC. 3.—lt is affirmed that the !Regency rested last night at Prades, and that it will arrive - here to-morrow. Seventy'horses, for remounting the artillery, have arrived to-day. A letter from Bayonne, dated the - sth instant, states:—" Military stores continue to • arrive here. Two large boats from Mount de Marsan, br7nging, amongst other things, barrels of lint and old linen, for surgical dressings, came in yester day. We know not what to think of these pre parations, when most of our public Journals speak of pea6e.---(Constitutionnel.) VIENNA, Nov. (29.—11 is Majesty has appointed bi - grandson, the Duke of Reichstadt, serjeant iu the regiment of infantry of the Emperor.— ?esterday the uniform of this regiment was sent to him, which gave him the liveliest pleasure. The return of the Emperor and Empress to this•capita 1 is expected about the.s.oth of Decem ber. The Emperor has conferred the title of Baron on Janka Mustazza, a Greek Boyard of Buchovine, where he has established important manufactures. A UGSBURGII, DEC. s.—Letters from NiTles niention that great anxiety is felt in that city for the decision of Congress, on the subject• of the evacuation of the Neapolitan territory by the Austrian troops. Although but slight hopes are entertained of such result, the Minister is under stood to press. the evacuation with vigour. The organization of the new .army of the line is in great forwardness. S P A I N. Manntn, Nov, n..—By a Decree, published in the • name of the KinG the Province, of Sarragoa has been declared in a statedf siege, and Oen. Velasco has been appointed Chief of the Army of Observation. A considerable troop of Royalists is in the environs of the capital, which rendered , ' necessary the sending out of 12,000 men of the National Militia. The result of this expedition is not known. The Marquess de Castelon, Colonelvf the Guard, was yes terday taken to the'toiri prison, escorted by a strong guard. The Duke‘de l'lnfantado, who had embarked for England, and was forced by saws of weather into a port in Galicia, is being conducted, from brigade to brigade, to Madrid, where Fr:son awaits him. The Charge d'Affaires of Portugal was present at the last sitting of the Landaburian Society ; and the circumstance was the subject of much remark. The Citizen Romeo Alpuente made a speech, in which he spoke of war, and stated his belief that it would not take place. " If it should, however," he added, "we must entertain no fear, but act as we did during the French invasion.. It is true we shall not be so well sus tained as during that period, because the Clergy and Nobility, who then went with us, will now, on the contrary, rank amongst our enemies ; but it is easy for us to rid ourselves of them by imitating France, where in one night 14,000 of those classes were put out of the way." Tris Sitting was opened by a child of 8 years of age, a disci ple of the school of St. Bazile. • The following sentence was heard attentively, and loudly ap plauded :—" Listen to the advice that a friend of the country giTes to the Constitutional King of the Spaniards."—(Gazette Franc".) DEC. Martinez de la Rosa has written to the Edi :tor of the Univt,reel, complaining that that paper hai copidd'an article from the French Journals, in which the C,ortes is'repre waited as divided into three parties—first, the existing Ministry, or the fanatics of the7th ofjulf;—second, that of Arguelles,' and other Members of the Cortes of Cadiz ;--third, that of Morillo and Martinez la Rosa, " who," it adds, " think that it would be possible to make modifications in the Consti tution at a future period, when the change would not have the appearance of a concession to foreign menaces." Alluding to this observation, Martinez de la Rosa says—" I had at first , resolved to maintain, as heretofore, contemptuOus silence; but t a journal published amongst us, to the great disregard of the laws and morality, having' repeated the calumny, I have re sulved to deny, in the face of the nation, and of Europe, every thing which personally relates to me in the article in question. ./ belong to no party : I profess no opinion at va riance with the fundamental laws of my country, and I shall be faithful to my oath."—(Journal des Debats.) DECEMBER 2,—( Extract of a Private Letter.)—" The enemies of liberty count much on a re-action in Andalusia. A directing Committee, with the Ex-General Grimarest for a President,had established its head-quarters at Gibraltar. From thence it issued its orders, and formed a conspiracy, the ob ject of which was to proclaim the absolute King on Nov. Ist, at Ceuta, Algesiras, Tarifa, Serrania, Ronda, &c. The care and activity of the Patriots disconcerted these conspirators, and when they thought themselves in safety at Gibraltar, an order from. London compelled them-to embark in all haste. On the Bth, Grimarest, his wife, two daughters, and fourteen of 'his friends, immediately left Gibraltar, on board the Neptune, John Raggio, master, for Genoa. The rebels quitting Spain by this route are not very well received. They are immediately on their arrival obliged to make arrangements for re-embark ing, and they are only allowed to remain as long as is necessary to provide a conveyance. During their residence in the town they are under the care of the police, which not for one instant lose sight of them. All the superior and subordinate ; officers of this English possession "rival each other in zeal for the cause of liberty, and constantly inform its partisans of whatever can be interesting to them."( Le Courkr Franqais. ) DECEMBER 2.-L-In the provinces of Alava, Biscay and -Guiptacoa people no longer speak of bands of more than 100 men. A few factious wander in the mountains, living by pil lage; those who command them promise them instant succour from abroad. With 'such promises a • few peasants are still kept under the banners of the Army of the Faith. .Merino, after being defeated at Aranda, where he made his appearance with 300 foot and 60 horse, has been again defeat. ed at Rosa, in the. environs of Burgos. This Chief, who can not make head against troops sent against him, seeks compen sation by ravaging the country ; he takes away the young men, horses and arms by force ; and every body who resists, or will not support him, is unpityingly massacred. The ecclesiastics who refuse to imitate him are in particalar the objects of his hatred and fury. 'The virtuous curate of Mazuelo, among others, was assassinated by him. Coubellas, the father and chief of a band, still commits rob beries in the province of Saint Ander. The conspiracy formed at Gibraltar had for its chief object to destroy the Constitutional system in the province of Cadiz, which was its cradle ; it necessarily failed. The Curate d'Atanasio Garcia, formerly claplain.at the Ca thedral of Toledo, afterwards the chief of a band, has just been executed. In La Mancha, a band of smugglers had been taken, and among them the assassin of the brave Landabaru, has been discovered. In Barceloa,cadiF, and several other cities, patriotic so cieties have been formed like those orMadrid.—(lbid.) GERONA, Nov. 26.--( Extracts of Private•Letter::)-=," On the 24th the bands of the factious, under the orders of Mosen Anson, 'Visas, and othors, supposing that. General Milans had evacuated Vieh, moved towards this town, in the hope, by their combined exertions, to make themselves masters of it ; but the news was false. The division under this General went out to meet the Factious, who were met near Ronda. It was ne cessary to ford a river.; each horseman of the Constitutional ists took a foot soldier behind him, and so promptly was this mancevre executed, that before the battalions of Arrica, of Cor dova, and some. light companies and 50 cuirassiers could come up, the positions of the enemy were forced, and the field of battle covered with 160 killed ; 800 prisoners, some arms and ammunition, remained in the power of the conquerors. General Milans' division had not a single person .killed, and only a few wounded."—(Constitutionnel.) FaONTIERS OF SPAIN, DEC. 2.—Torrijos has begun his operations on this point—the bands in this neighbourhood are not in a condition to resist him, less however by their numbers than by the destitution in which they are, and the discourage. ment which springs from it. O'Donnell is in Navarre with 400 men, Santos Ladron and other Chiefs hardly recognise his authority.—(lbid.) CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. 'I hat some important event may have occurred in the Russian capital is to be inferred from the rapidity with which the last Government dispatches were conveyed; but until the mails arrive of the same date, the subject of them can not be anticipated. In the City it is reported that they relate solely to the removal of official British agents in Russia, ren dered necessary by the change of the British Foreign Minister, which may eventually prove to be the case ; but, connecting them with information contained in recent letters received from Odessa, they perhaps contain intelligence of much greater im portance. A commercial establishment, of the greatest emi nence, yesterday received from Odessa a letter, the contents of which are any thing but satisfactory, in as far as the conduct of the magnanimous A I.ExAsDEIOS concerned. A large order for muskets was this day received by an emi nent Birmingham establishMent in the City, said to be for the account of the French Government. Whether the quantity should be fifty or a hundred thousand stand did not signify. From the quarter it is probable, however, that this is a Russian and not a French order. It is a part of the conspiracy against mankind, which the English Foreign Minister will either pre vent, or its issue must be the destruction of its abettors. The letter from Sir DANIEL BAYLEY, the British Consul at St. Petersburgh, only communicates mercantile information. The waters were again open, all the ships were loaded, and would get away before-the closing of the season ; four of them had sailed, and the wind continued S. W. A private express arrived early this morning from Paris, which communicates a farther advance in the renter. On Tuesday they closed at 68. 60., but the last price on Wednes day was 89. , Tlie hopes of the continuation of peace increased in the Frencn capital. The Consols opened this morning at 801 and rose to 80i at which they finally closed. Foreign Securities are rather higher this day. A great deal has been done in Spanish Bonds, and also in the Scrip of Mr. RoTiiscitir.D's Prussian, Russian, and Neapolitan Loan.— Confidence in them is gradually gaining ground, though it will be long before any of them entirely recover from the severe , shock which the proceedings of the Holy Allied Legitimates have given them. At the Corn Exchange there is a large arrival of all kinds of grain. Wheat of fine quality is quite as dear, but as the prospect of war vanishes it becomes duller. Barley is; heavy sale, and has the appearance of being cheaper. Oats are is. lower. For the week ending the 7th current the average prices by which importation is regulated were-38s. 6d. for Wheat, 28s. Bd. for Barley, 18s. 9d. for Oats, 255. 10d, for Bean.., and as. sd. for Pease. The quantity of Flax shipped this season at Riga to the 12th Nov. was 78,850 Ship pounds—in 1821 the quantity was 77,000. The price of P. T. R. had at that date fallen to 44 ,silver rubles.--(Morning Chrarxik.) IMPORTANT.—The Moniteur has been received in town, and at length speaks in a pacific tone respecting Spain. It even remarks on the tnis- takes that have been committed by an Even- ing Paper in London, which assumed the semblance of official authority in announcing its erroneous conclusiOns to the public. The Moni- teur positively alleges, that that Paper has been misled in believing that war between France and Spain was inevitable 1 We take upon our. selves to affirm, that it was equally misled when it so often asserted, that, if a war did break, out, •Great Britain would remain neutral ! We congratulate our Readers on the pacific aspect which public affairs have at length assumed. The news from Spain is contradictory, some accounts representing the Royalists' as in some measure re-animated, while others continue to speak of. their cause as of one which is totally ruined. Et is certainly probable that the prospect of s the immediate co-operation of an invasion by France may have infused fresh spirits and vigour Into the discomfited adherents of the Taith. On the other hand, the rumours of their appearance with renovated strength, may have been fabricated for the purpose of encou raging the war party in France to persevere in their hostile designs.

The accounts from Paris are favour able, and the Moniteur begins to speak.— It animadverts on the London Courier, by stating the following, " Although the Courier is a highly respectable paper) it is misled in stating that war is inevitable between France and Spain." In consequence of this paragraph in the above paper,which is considered as pacific, and the rising of the French Funds, it is the general be lief that a war will be prevented. Consols up to this hour 81. FOREIGN FuNns.—ln consequence of the pacific information from the. French capital this morning, all Foreign securities have risen, par ticularly Spanish Bonds. The following are Extracts from the Dutch Mail received this morning : " BERLIN, Nov. 2S.—A remarkable publica tion has just made its appearance here, which is considered as half official, and seems to be an in troduction to the intended Constitution of Prus sia, and to make answer the views of the Govern ment on the subject. " ST. PETERSRU LLGII, Nov. 19. A courier from Vienna is said to have brought dispatches of the utmost importance, but nothing has tran spired.

A notice has been recently issued by the Government of An tigua, in consequence of several inhabitants of that colony hav ing rendered themselves amenable to certain laws and re gulations at present in actual force at Guadaloupe, warning all persons concerned, that no foreign vessel is permitted to anchor at or off any part of the Island of Guadaloupe except Basseterre and Point a Petre, under pain of being seized and confiscated, the free persons of the crew severely punished, and the slaves of the crew sold with the vessel and cargo, even although the Captain should satisfactorily prove that he had no contraband goods on board, nor any intention of smuggling. Further, that any foreigner landing upon any part of the coast of Guadaloupe, excepting at the ports aforesaid, by that act alone, however innocent his intention, and whether with or without a passport, is liable to be imprisoned and severely punished. (FROM SAME PAPER OF 26TH.) DREADFUL FIRE.—The buildings on Plantation Catharine Elizabeth, Essequebo, the property of Gilgueres, were en tirely consumed by fire on Wednesday last. The fire broke out in the Stock-holes, and so rapid was the progress of the de structive element, that in a few moments the boiling house, en gine, curing, and still-houses, together with the Chyrass Logus, were in flames, and which it was found impossible to arrest till the buildings were burnt down to the ground. (FROM SAME PAPER OF 24TH.) On Sunday a Carnody snake was killed on Plantation Huis l'l)ieron, on the west coast of Essequeba, measuring fourteen feet long, and eleven inches circumference at the natural size of the stomach ; but, as the stomach was distended, to the en ormous size of thiry-one inches. On opening it, it was found to contain an entire alligator recently swallowed, (decomposi tion having scarcely commenced), and measuring six feet long, by 28 inches circumference. From the appearance of the neck of the alligator, it is evident that the snake destroyed him by entwining round that part ; and so severe seemed to be the constriction, that the eyes of the alligator were actually started from their sockets. In our Paper of yesterday we inserted a Re port of the interesting Meeting of the Ship- Owners' Society, at which the Earl of Liven- POOL, the President of the Society, officiated as Chairman. We consider that Meeting as having been both interesting and important, from the harmony which it proved to be established be tween his Majesty's Ministers and the Shipping Interest of the Country, and from the unequi vocal avowal, by the Noble Chairman, of his unshaken_eonviction that " we owe onr security to our Navy; and that we owe our • Navy to that system. of Navigation • Laws under which our country has so - long acted .with so much -advantage to her best interests." Our Readers are aware that THE SUN is one of the very few Journals which have steadily maintained the truth of this proposition, or which have zealously advocated the principles on which it is founded. During the last Session of Parlia ment, in particular, when Government, for a moment misled by the delusive theories of the fashionable Political Economists, manifested a disposition to subvert the maritime and com mercial laws to which England is solely in debted for her wealth, for her internal gran deur, and .her political power, and when even the public mind was prepared, by the same delusive influence, for the quiet aban donment of a system of regulations, on the preservatio❑ of which the national prosperity absolutely depends, we perseveringly opposed the dangerous tendency to innovation which de veloped itself, supported as it was by the inge nious but fallaciOus reasonings of very high authority, sanctioned by the• Administration, and in some degree at least favoured if not demanded by public opinion itself. The adoption of the most fatal of the measures which were contem_ plated in that period of error was fortunately suspended ; but we confess that we almost de spaired of their final rejection, and looked for ward to the ensuing Session of Parliament for the renewal of a hoPeless struggle, which was apparently destined to terminate in the aban donment of principles, and the subversion of regulations, essential to the continued prospe rity and naval pre-eminence of the British Empire. We have now again, however, the unqualified declaration, from the first Mi nister of the country, that in his opinion, and in that of all who have attentively examined this vital subject, the firmness and security of Eng land have been established, and the growth of her Navy has been effected, by causes which ori ginated in and are coeval with her Maritime Laws. We now have from the same high quarter the assurance that it is by the promotion and salutary application of the true principle of those laws, by a real and careful attention to the actual situation of the country, and not by the adoption of fanciful and impracticable theories, that England can alone look for the permanent security of her Naval System, for the maintenance of her na tional honour, for the enjoyment oilier happine s4 ' and for the general diffusio❑ of those blessito which attend well-regulated industry and ente r ' prize. —We have now the same avowal, on th e same auspicious occasion, from the President °` the Board of Trade. We have now also the furthe r security of the known principles, the spier►di 6 talents and powerful influence of Mr. CINN ISI who, though unavoidably absent from themeet 4 of the Ship Owners, will doubtless support th ° wise and beneficial views of his Noble Friend the Earl of LIVERPOOL, and advocate their ador tiou, with equal energy and success, in Paeli v meet and in the Cabinet. One of the Government Steam Packets is de tained at Calais to bring over the Duke of WELLINGT° 26 who is expected to arrive at Dover to-morrow. The Das he Steam Packet arrived there yesterday morning with the gar" quis of SLIGO and Lord ORFORD, the latter of whom dined with his Grace on Sunday at Paris. Rumour states, that the Duke will be the bearer of dispatches of the greatest importno ee ' relative to the intention of the French Government on the e ' fr fairs of the Peninsula.—(Kentish Gazette, Dec. 13.) PIRATES.--We have seen a letter from a gel' tleman at Nassau, (N.P.) dated the 18th ulte/ which states that the merchants of that pla ce had hired a sloop, which was manned wi th a midshipman and twenty-three men from the British ship Tyne, for the purpose O f cruizing against the pirates. They fell il l with a piratical schooner, and felucca; beat of f the former, laid alongside the latter, and captured her. Those of the crew who were not kille d ' jumped overboard, and were drowned. The 1 10$ on board the sloop was two men killed, and 11 midshipman and seven wounded. Another sloP' fitted out at the same time, was captured, O ct the crew narrowly escaped with their Jives.'
