FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, Nov. 24.—Yesterday morning the King -.transacted business with the Marquis de Lauris ton, Minister of the Household, and with the President of the Council, at two o'clock. The King of Prussia, who left Verona on the sth instant for Rome and Naples, is expected to re-appear at the seat of the Congress on the 2d -of December. He intends afterwards to visit Bologna, Parma, and some other towns, and to return to Verona on the 19th December. The Journal des Debuts observes, that it is not known how long the King will then remain in that town, but that it is generally believed he means to be at Berlin in the beginning of January. The Fiscal Paredes has inserted a letter in the Madrid papers, requesting that public opinion • may be suspended respecting his•proceedings,until he has published a vindication of his conduct. The decision of the Cortes on the complaint of Don Nicolas Garelli was, that • a 'Minister out of office must be tried on a charge relative to his official conduct, in .the same manner as if he were accused while in place. The Journal de Toillouse states that.Villela, onesof the leaders of the Army of the Faith, has experienced the same fate as Romanillo. He has been arrested on a charge of having connived - at the supplying of the fort of Cardona with pro visions. The fort of Seo d'Urgel is said to be occupied by about 500 men. The Constitutionnel mentions a report that the Spanish Charge d'ilffaires at Vienna, Senor Car nereros, who is on terms of intimacy with the Duke of Wellington, is expected to be called to the Congress of Verona, The Chamber of Appeal of the Correctiona Police has this day confirmed the sentence, condemning to forty days ilLoprisonment and a fine of 300 francs, M. Victor Ducange, Editor of the Diable Rose; a periodical publication, which has ceased to appear for having broken the laws which forbid literary journals to meddle with political affairs. M. l3onnemant, Editor of the Foudre, has also been g,ondemned by the Correctional Tribunal to one month's imprisonment, and a fine of 200 francs, for a breach of the same nature. M. Couture pleaded, at a former audience, the reasons which ought to place this journal in a particular class. His discussion was crowned with the most complete success. M. Koechlin, Deputy of the Upper Rhine, author of the pamphlet, an extract from which was yesterday condemned, has been summond for Saturday the 30th. Commerce has received a most severe blow by the interruption of its relations with Spain. It .has already caused a great number of failures at Toulouse, Castelnoudary, Montpellier, and Be ziers. Very recently M. R., a merchant of Mon. tauban, of most exemplary honesty, was forced to stop payment, and threw himself into the 'Tim ; happily some fishermen arrived in time to rescue him from a watery grave. It is announced that M. Fauche Borel has set out for Verona. His political intrigues have long made noise enough to authorise our mention • ing his journey in the actual state of things. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 25.—A new Firman has appeared, which reduces the value of the new money still farther, in spite of public opinion and the cries of the people. ,The terror is universal, -as the loss is estimated at 25 per cent. It is said the_ Sultan has purchased the tranquillity of the Janissaries by large bribes. Letters of rather a .favourable nature have been received from Er.. zerum, accompanied by 60 Persian heads. The . 73d Number of the Spectateur Oriental remarks, with much naivete, " It is to be wished that the affairs of Greece may be arranged before winter, and the return of the Ottoman fleet." HAERLEM, Nov. 18.—We learn from Ham ' burgh that the assembly of the citizens has re jected the proposal of the Senate, to let the ex ' isting tariff of import duties continue in force for some time longer ; and it will therefore cease - from Jan. 1, 1823. The deficiency in the re venue of the city, which will he, caused by this measure, must be provided for by other taxes — the burden of which, it is expected, will be com pensated by an increase of the commerce of the city. CORFU.-Sir Thomas Maitland, with his suite, returned to Corfu on the 13th October, on board of an lonian ship, and was received with due honours.—( Allgemeine -Zcitung, Nov. 16.) CARLSRUHE, Nov. 16.—The joy caused by the birth of a son to the Margrave Leopold, has been suddenly clouded in the most afflicting manner. The young Prince, born the 26th ult., was to be baptised yesterday, the fete (or Saint's day) of his father. All the preparations were made when the infant Prince was seized with an inflamma tion in the bowels, which rapidly increased, and ended in his death, this morning at nine o'clock. FRANKFORT, Nov. 18.—The panic caused by the news from Paris is now generally dissipated ; public funds are again on the rise. To-morrow's post from Vienna is expected with great im patience, as it will bring information how the funds in that town have been affected ; it ought also to bring news from Constantinople up to • the 25th-of October. SPAIN. MADRID, NOVEMBER 17. [Extract of a Private Letter.] " The enthusiasm of the Spaniards is carried to the highest pitch. The Generals have sometimes a, difficulty in restraining their soldiers within proper bounds, and to prevent acts of violence always, too frequent in civil wars. It seems that the armed Monks are those who have most to fear from the indignation of the conquerors, and some foreign ers whom one is astonished to find in the ranks of the Serviles, where nothing seems to require them to come." Two Proclamations, dated Castelfollit,' the 24th of October, have been published by Mina, of which important documents the following are copies : " Inhabitnts of the Seventh District, you know the melan choly fate of the impregnable Castelfollit, and the imprudent and unhappy men who shut themselves up there. Their de :i'ence :was long, firm, and obstinate, and displayed much valour. I have been astonishedt myself, at deeds as gloriSus as the most ' heroic which hiStory transmits to us ; but every thing was obliged to give way to the enthusiasm, constancy, and intrepi dity, of the Spanish army. The houses in flames—the ramparts beat down—the fortifications in ruins—all the buildings, offen sive and defensive, levelled ; such is now the state of a fortres s on which the enemies of order founded so many hopes, and which they endeavoured to make the multitude share in. " Miserable wretches ! conic and contemplate the unfortu nate spot formerly occupied by the people whom you deceived ! You will only find ruins and ashes, and a terrible inscription, which records what those may expect who dare to imitate Cas telfollit. Return to your duty at this sight, poor abused Cata lonians. Know the infamous wretches who have never laboured, and who never will labour, but for their own interests—who only demand the re-establishment of abuses that they may subsist — who desire to retain you in the depths of ignorance and slavery, and who at length, as you have seen, abandon you in the - hour of danger. " Have you not seen, scarcely a moment since, the impru• dent Romanillo separate himself from a town, which is also his, at a critical moment, and with a promise to return to your suc cour ? Have you not seen him remain six days in the presence of my works, though he had collected all the succours he could find, and was accompanied by his worthy companions Roma gosa, Eroles, and others, and not dare to adyance one step, or ever trouble for a single moment the siege, which has terminat ed in your destruction ? Do you need other proofs, unfortunate victims ? You have seen them with arms in their hands, can you require any thing more to convince you ? " Do you still doubt the weakness, the impotence, the cow ardice of those who abandon you when you are besieged, and remain idle when they ought to fight ? Where are those fo reign armies so frequently announced to blind and to ruin you ? Undeceive yourselves ; hasten and receive the welcome of re conciliation, which your country, full of pity, is impatient to grant you or hear the prompt punishment which she will inflict on her criminal children, the enemies of her repose and her happiness. In order to promote as much as I can the cordial reconciliation or the exemplary punishment alluded to, I order, in consequence of the powers vested in me, what 'ollows :- " Art. 1. Every town or village which surrenders to an armed band of factious, less in number than one-third of the inhabi tants, shall be sacked and burnt. "2. Every town or village obliged to surrender by a greater number of factious than one-third of its inhabitants, and in which the greater part of the latter join them • and combat in their ranks, shall also be sacked and burnt; but if only a small number of inhabitants have joined the factious, only the houses of the rebels shall he pillaged and burnt, without their being therefore exempt from the punishment pronounced against them by the law. " 3. Every town or village in which subsistence or other succours shall be given to the factious, not being in greater force than one-third of the inhabitants, shall be condemned to pay a fine of at least 1,000 livres Catalan, or more if necessary, and the members of the Municipality shall be shot ; it being at the same time understood, that when a superior force of the factious shall force the town or village to supply them, the nation will not take any notice of it. " 4. Every isolated house situated in the country, or in a town or village which shall have been abandoned by its inha bitants at the approach of the national troops, whose discipline, subordination, and excellent conduct, are well known, shall be plundered and pulled down, or burnt. The people may be certain that when property is 'to be protected; and persons secured, I shall always be disposed, as I have ever been, to punish:with the greatest rigour the least fault committed by my subalterns. " 5. The Municipal Councillors and Justices of Peace, Clergymen of the villages, situated at the distance of three leagues from my head-quarters, or from the spot where some superior officer is, who shall neglect to give me information from day to day, and even several times a-day, if necessary, of the movements of the factious in their vicinity, shall be fined. If any important disadvantage results from their negli gence, they shall be punished with death. " 6. Every individual belonging to the class of soldiers in, the ranks of the factious, who shall surrender to me or to any General of the divisions of the army I command, with his arms, shall be pardoned for his crime of rebellion, the power of doing this not to extend beyond the 20th of November next: " 7. The present order, accompanied by my Proclamation of this day to the troops, shall be read as the Order of the Day. Copies are to ba given to the General Commandant of the District, residing at Barcelona, and to those of the pro vinces of Lerida, Tarragona, and Gerona, as well as the Po litical of the four provinces, in order to their being im mediately published, and the foregoing regulations acted on. " Head-quarters, where Castelfollit stood, Oct. 24, 1822. " MINA." PROCLAMATION. " Soldiers of the Army of Operation of the the Seventh ,District. " You will be made acquainted with my Orders of this day, addressed to the inhabitants of this district, and the measures by which they are terminated. I have commanded that both shall be read to you. " I must express my gratitude to the valiant corps and the individuals who accompanied me in the siege and occupation of Castelfollit, and bestow public eulogiums on their brave con duct. Yes ! Comrades in Arms, your sufferings, your courage, your constancy, your triumph over all the difficulties, have s urmounted the greatest obstacles You have surpassed my wishes ; you have made me, shed a hundred times tears of joy and of gratitude. " Let the nation know it ! let the whole of Europe know it ! but let them at the same time know, that with Chiefs, Officers, and Soldiers, as brave as those who now compose the Spanish Army, there is no fear of either foreign or domestic enemies.— As the latter will soon have to renounce their absurd enterprise, so the' former will never sully with impunity the honour of our country. " To obtain these results, soldiers of my division, be ye faith ful to lour noble union. Behave as you have hitherto done, do not, forget what I have said in'Article 4 of my Order of the Day. Subordination and discipline are the soul of armies, as the respect for persons and property should form the character of just and well-intentioned men. Be ye sure, that the highest glory to which I aspire, is 'to die in the middle of your ranks, to preserve our liberty and national independence, which are guaranteed by the Political Constitution of the Spanish Mo narchy, to obey which we have all taken a solemn oath. " Head-quarters where Castelfollit stood, Oct. 24. 1822. " PORTUGAL. LISBON, Nov. 5. LAST SITTING OF THE GENERAL, EXTRAORDINARY, AND CONSTITUENT CORTES, NOV. 4. The Sitting having been opened at a quarter past eleven o'clock, and the deputation prepared to receive the King in the usual form, his Ma jesty entered the hall at half-past eleven, preced ed by the deputation, and accompanied by the Ministers Secretaries of State, and the chief Of ficers of his Household. Having seated himself on the throne, he delivered the following speech : " Gentlemen,—At the moment when you are going to close your labours in this Legislature, I come to congratulate my self with you end the nation on the wisdom of the Legislative measures which you' have' adopted for the reformation of the social edifice. - " My attention is naturally fixed on the political constitution —a fundamental law of the state which I swore to voluntarily and deliberately, and which receives this - day the sacred pro mise of all the citizens. Yes, Gentlemen, they must feel a vir tuous pride in beholding the rights of man, as a member of society, established on principle's as solid and durable as eternal Morality : the throne built upon the law and the prosperity of social institutions, supported by the sublime power of the di vine religion which we profess; the safety of individuals and property, combined with the interest and security of the state ; the agreement, the harmony between the rights of the citizen and his duties, the civil liberty of the individual and the well being of society, guaranteed by the responsibility of the public functionaries and by the just liberty of the press. Ah ! Gen tlemen, what a sum of happy results do the conditions of our social compact promise ! " Faithful representatives of the nation, you embraced the whole extent of the wants of the people. While research and meditation prepared the work of the Constitutional Code, your care provided a remedy for the evils that most urgently required it. Thus the administration of justice and finance, the resto ration of public credit, commerce, navigation, agriculture, ma nufactures, public instruction, and philanthropy, received the impulse of wisdom and patriotic zeal which characterize and distinguish the regenerators of a nation in an enlight ened age. _ _ _ " To this spirit of justice and order with which the plan of the political regeneration of the monarchy was conceived, we owe the relations of friendship and interest which happily sub sist with Foreign Powers, and very particularly with the Con stitutional and Reprlsentative Governments of both Worlds.— And I have particular satisfaction in being able to announce to 'you, that the most positive declarations of the Governments of France and England have fully secured us against the fears of any attack upon our independence. " To this same wisdom, and to the measures of conciliation with which you have endeavoured to maintain the integrity Of the United Kingdom, and to strengthen the fraternal ties which bind us to the Portuguese of Brazil, the dissenting provinces will owe, I hope, the return of their tranquillity, and of the blessings which they cannot expect but from the union with the Portuguese of Europe. This subject, Gentlemen, awakens re collections which deeply afflict my heart. I would not touch on it, were it not so intimately connected with the march of your labours, and with the right it gives you to the national acknow ledgment, and to my particular gratitude,. The glory of Kings is inseparable from the happiness of their subjects : and he who presides over a free nation, is as happy as those are miserable who rule over slaves. This is the measure of the satisfaction which your illustrious and useful labours give me. They open a boundless career of prosperity and glory to the noble Portu guese nation, whose fate is essentially united 'with mine. " You are going, Gentlemen,. to receive from your consti tuents the congratulations and benedictions to which your ser vices entitle you. Carry to them, at the same time, the certainty that my care and solicitude continue to be devoted to the welfare of the nation. - Assure them of the sincerity of my intentions and the consistency of my proceedings, of which you have been eye-witnesses and if it should be necessary, inspire them with true love 'of their country, which binds them to sacrifice every thing for it ; and teach them that sincere adherence to the Con stitutional system essentially: consists in obedience to the law, and in love of order and justice, without which the best institu tions cannot prosper : In this manner continuing to instruct and to edify, you will enjoy in - the public gratitude the just reward of your glorious labours ; and the generous nation to which you have consecrated them, by following the course,whichyoa have traced out for it, will become, by the perfection of its social in stitutions, themodel and the envy of other people." His Majesty having c oncluded his speech, the President rose to reply in the name of the Assembly, as follows : " Senhor,—The political constitution of the Portuguese Mo narchy having been yesterday sworn to and proclaimed throughout the whOle kingdom , of .Portugal and Alprve, it is proper that the constituent Cortes 'of the nation should this clay be dissolved. Called by the free election of the people to frame ! this new social compact, we have never for a moment neglect ed that useful work, and never for a moment would wish to continue in seo eminent a situation after having concluded and made public our task. To ourselves we owe the duty of re turning to the general class of citizens, there to give a strik ing example of obedience to the law we have founded.. To the nation we owe the duty of not withholding for a single day the pacific enjoyment of the advantages and the privileges which the constitutional law assures to her. Finally, our duty to 'your Majesty required that we should hasten as fat as practicable the moment of your entering on the full exercise of that executive power which for the felicity of the Monarchy, is vested in your Majesty's Government. Such, Senhor, is the basis of the unanimous resolution adopted by the Congress for closing on this day the Constitutional Cortes. " It is pot necessary that 'a general review of our legislative labours daily executed with the most unwearied diligence dur ing the long period of 21 months, should at the last moment of this final and solemn meeting occupy the place of more im- Portant reflections. Those labours have been performed in the face of the whole nation ; they are recorded in our acts ; for them we neither merit praise, nor covet recompence. Since we owe every thing to the country, to the country we cheerfully de vote our studies, our cares, and sacrifice our interests and our con veniences ; and we are ready to sacrifice our lives, should such 'sacrifice be required of us. If the result of the work corres pond with the good.wishes of those who have executed it—that is, if the new political Constitution fix, as we venture to hope it will, the felicity of the great family of the Portuguese nation, and re-open the closed fountains of public prosperity, we shall have the most brilliant recompense, and the Constitutional Cortes will then be crowned with a tribute of praise and glory, of which neither envy nor calumny will be ever able to deprive them—with that tribute which polished nations never fail to be stow on wise Legislators, in manifest preference to those who only aim at extended empire by means of sanguinary conquests. But, Senhor, what the Cortes cannot at the present mo ment refrain from declaring, since its omission would be the basest ingratitude, is, that no constituent body ever executed its labours under circumstances more favourable than those in which we have been placed. To give in the midst of arms a new Constitution to a conquered country has always been found as easy, as it is difficult and hazardous amidst the sweets of peace suddenly to change the fundamental law of an old Go vernment. In the tormer case, surprise and terror may wrest from a people, in despite of their natural ind. pendence and love Of liberty, a servile obedience ; but in the latter, obstacles al most insurmountable are opposed to such a change.' Ancient customs, rights acquired by the use or the abuse of time, con flicting parties, passions, and personal interests, at every step fa tally interrupt the harmony of all classes of citizens. Then an untractable people, throwing off all restraint, when they think they are in the pursuit of liberty, fall into licentiousness, the fatal precursor of anarchy, as that is of despotism. But, thanks to Providence, which in an age so fertile in political revolutions, in which the lofty vessel of the European States has been nearly overwhelmed by internal and external wars, has given to asto nished Europe the first example of a regeneration commenced and concluded in the short space of two years, in which the in habitants of great cities and of the poorest villages have not for a single day discontinued their usual occupations—in which no parties have dared to show themselves in a way capable of af fecting the security of the Republic,—and in, which all citizens have with marked alacrity, or at least, with firm resignation, sa crificed their own interests to the public welfare. " It is but a few days ago that, in the name of the august Congress, I had to congratulate your Majesty and the whole Nation on the happy completion of the Constitution, and on the glory which your Majesty acquired when you accepted it, and swore to maintain it. But, Senhor, the Congress is now pene trated with other sentiments. We neither eulogize nor congra tulate. We exhibit to the whole world our love and gratitude to your Majesty and the Portuguese Nation—your Majesty having commanded as a father, the 'people having obeyed as children—for the preservation of public tranquillity and the pa cific establishment of the political system, by which the Mo narchy is to be governed. Nor does this declaration detract any thing from our own glory. Indeed, to what greater glory could we aspire, than to that of being the Legislators of a Nation equally courageous and prudent, and which has now at its head a Monarch who merits the love and veneration of the people ? "Encouraged as we are by so successful an experiment, we can no longer apprehend a violent crisis, in the progressive operation of the social compact ; but the Cortes dd not disguise to them selves the great difficulties which in the early period of that operation are to be overcome. The genius of evil, envying the 'union and prosperity of the Portuguese family, has lighted up the horrible brand of discord among our brethren of Brazil, and their hopes to dismember the Lusitanian Empire. The heart is torn with anguish at the recollection of those fatal disasters—disasters to which the lips refuse to give utterance. But it was not given to human prudence to prevent them ; and as little to discover from the first symptoms of discontent and disunion the nature and extent of the evil, so as to be able im mediately to apply the most appropriate remedy. Much may, however, be expected from the measures which the constituent Cortes have adopted for uniting by ties of love and mutual in terest the Portuguese of both hemispheres :perhaps others are still necessary for obtaining so desirable an send. We should separate with all the dismay which the horror and alarm of the late unfortunate events are calculated to produce, did we not derive confidence from the wisdom and firmness of your Ma jesty, from the knowledge and prudence of the Deputies who will form the future Legislative Assembly, and from the dif ficulty we find to conceive it possible for a portion of the Por tuguese people obstinately to withdraw themselves • from the allegiance which they owe to your Majesty. and to continue to deny the authority of the Congress of the nation, composed in a great measure of their own Representatives. " But other difficulties yet remain to be encountered, and still further must we extend our confidence. We haVe erected on a firm foundation the Political Constitution of the Mo narchy, but we have not been able to complete the laws on which its perfect execution depends. The constituent autho rities are still without those regulations which are necessary to give them life and action ; and it is still necessary to preserve for a time certain ancient institutions which are in part incom patible with the principles of. the new fundamental law. 'But we bequeath to the Ordinary Cortes a rich legacy of experience and doctrine, which they will be able to turn to profit, and to augment by their own stock. Their active zeal, and the illus trious firmness of your Majesty, will speedily . remove all ob stacles which might retard the full settlement of the Consti tution. " Such, Senhor, are the flattering hopes with which the De puties of the Constituent Cortes leave this august chamber. Returning to their provinces, they will in the discharge of their respective duties inspire and fortify with the same hopes the people whom they have just ceased to represent. They will be the first by their example and their advice to convince the people that, the happiness of the country depends upon the faithful observance of the Constitution, and that they ought energetically to repel every insidious suggestion against what - is decreed in the new social compact. They. will say to their late constituents—one uniform law, and that certain law neither in fluenced by the caprice of opinion, of the opposition of parties, is necessary for the welfare of a nation—such is that which we have made in your name—Respect it, obey it, and be happy. " This respect and obedience is inseparable from all the love which we owe to our good King. You Well know how much love he deserves for the example he has given of the most firm attachment to the new compact ; although you have not, like us, witnessed his amiable and majestic deportment, nor heard the last words which he pronounced from the throne in the midst of the national representation, which will ever remain profoundly engraved on our hearts, and which have filled us with the most lively sentiments of tenderness and affection. Yes, we should have proclaimed him father of the country, had not flattery long since prostituted that noble title by be stowing it to the disgrace of humanity on the tyrants of Rome. " No more, Senhor ; let what has been said be the epilogue to our long continued labours, and the final expression of our gratitude—since it is now necessary for the Constituent Body to be silent and disperse." The President concluded with vivas for King John VI., the house of Braganza, the Catholic and Apostolic religion, and the Portuguese nation ! 'The King, rising, said—" Long live the Sovereign Con gress." All these exclamations were repeated with enthusiasm, both by the deputies and the citizens, who crowded the galleries. At fifty minutes past eleven the King withdrew in the same manlier as he had entered, and the deputation that accom panied him having returned, M. Felgueiras, the Secretary, stated, in the name of the Deputation, that his Majesty, on taking leave, had desired that they would assure the Con gress of the Constituent Cortes of his particular thanks for all the delicate - attentions which they had shewn him, and that he would at all times be the first defender of the fiocial compact which the Cortes had decreed, and would co-operate with all his power in the prosperity of the Portuguese nation. This called forth fresh acclamations from the Deputies in the galleries. At-five minutes past twelve, the minutes were read and ap proved, and the President closed the session, saying— " The General, Extraordinary, and Constituent Cortes of the Portuguese Nation close their Session this day, the 4th of November, 1822." CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. The French mail doe on Sunday, and also the one due this morning, have been received. The contents of the former were yesterday anticipated by private channels. The Consols, this day, have been uncommonly steady. They open ed at soi a 81, and continued without any variation until the closing of the market. For the settlement on the 17th Ja nuary, 1023, the price was 81a a 81i. The account to be arranged to-morrow is rather a heavy one, and rumours are credited in proportion as they coincide with the speculations of individuals. The best informed fundholders, however, con tinue to believe that the peace of Europe will not to disturbed. They naturally ask what cause for war has Spain given to France ? and they cannot conjure up a satisfactory answer.— They conceive that an attempt on the part of Louis XVIII. (who owes his Crown to England), and his confidential advisers, to impose thraldom on the Peninsula; would not be viewed with indifference by the British Nation, for the Ultra-Royal Government of France will not attempt ,a crusade against Spanish liberty, without well-founded hopes of success ; and what would the British Government think should the effect of that success be the occupation of all the naval sta tions in the Peninsula by French troops ? Would such a state of things be consistent with the safety, or with the glory of the British Empire ? Would the virtuous efforts of the Spaniards, with whom, only a few years ago, Englishmen fought in the same ranks, and in the sacred cause too of the liberties of mankind, not call up the indignation of the enlightened classes of society throughout Europe against those tyrants who dared to oppose their just rights, to form that Constitution which was best suited to thei'r manners and customs ? Would Europe not be again involved in all the calamities of warfare, and would the result not be the glorious triumph of civilization and liberty over tyranny and barbarism ? The worst enemies to the present monarchial system could not wish a greater evil on the heads of the holy allied legitimate wiseacres, than an attack on the freedom of Spain by the present bigotted Government of France. In Foreign Securities very little business has this day been done, and there is scarcely any variation in their value.

They were estimated at 100,000 souls. All the crops had been swept away, and indigo, inpaiticular, had risen enormously in value. Such is the rumour this day circulated amongst the East India Merchants.--- (Morning Chronicle. ) PARLIAgENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, NOVEMBER 26.
