FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, OCT. 20.—We have indicated the series of the questions of public right which will pre sent themselves to the attention of the Congress of Verona in case it would take cognisance of the affairs of Spain. Each of these questions is of so grave and so complicated a nature, that it deserves a separate examination. In what case can a foreign Power demand, 'with arms in hand, the change of the political constitution in another state ? History and diplomacy present us several ex amples of a legitimate intervention of thivnature. —Austria, in 182.1, interfered in the affairs of Naples, in virtue of a formal treaty, by which Austria, on re-delivering to Ferdinand IV. his continental states, reconquered in 1815, from Murat, by the Austrian armies, had stipulated, " That King Ferdinand should make no innova tion in the internal' organization of his states, which could disturb the Italian States of Austria." We do not examine whether such a stipulation is compatible with the sovereignty of the King of Naples, or the dignity of Crowns in general. It is enough for our actual object that it exists, and gives, formally, to Austria the right of interfer ence in the internal affairs of Naples. The last century saw France, Sardinia, and the Canton of Berne interfere in the disturbances of the Re public of Geneva, in virtue of conventions which placed this republic under their guarantee. — Every one recollects, also, that the right of inter ference has been the subject of very warm dis- , putes among cabinets,—it served as a pretext to that deplorable partition of Poland, which beganl the confusion of Europe, and which the present Monarch of Russia has wished in some sort to expiate, by restoring to a portion of the Poles their national existence. In 1787, another case offered itself, in which all the diplomatic talents of France were em ployed to combat the pretensions of Prussia, which arrogated the right of, interfering in the quarrels of the Stadtholder with the States-Ge neral of Holland,—a pretension quite inadmis sible, as the Stadtholder was the mandatory of the Republic—and the States-General possessed • incontestibly the supreme power. The French Ministry demonstrated these truths in its Decla ration and its Notes, but it did not support them by arms. The great revolutions of Europe made these differences forgotten, and the old law of nations perished whole in the revolutionary abyss. —On its re-establishment at the Congress of Vienna, there was an opportunity for re-establish ing it completely on positive bases universally recognised. That would have been especially useful, necessary even with regard to the right of interference in the internal affairs of a State. We have said in what manner we should have -wished to have prevented in 1814 the unhappy alternative in which European policy is placed with respect to Spain : On one side the reasonable wish which every -good Spaniard participates in to see effaced from the Constitution of that kingdom several dangerous principles, and to modify several vicious institu tions which perpetuate anarchy there : On the other side . the_ imperious necessity of not violating existiugAritOesond already made solemn declarations, the just fear of authorising a vague principle, which"might in other circum stances serve the ambition - of a conqueror, and • even that of a revolutionary power ; the terrible idea of compromising the days of more than one _ august person ; lastly, the responsibility of a • hazardous•enterprise, and even the possibility of involving oneself in new differences, which might produce schisms already difficult to be avoided, and even irreparable calamities. We will to day •only consider the question of -• rights. _ _ _ - The Cortes are not an assembly of Revolu tionary origin. A Decree of King Ferdinand of sth May, 1808, -addressed to every public au thority which ought to be in a state of freedom, ordered the convocation of the Cortes of the kingdom to oppose the acts of Bayonne. The extraordinary circumstances in which Spain was placed permitted the execution of the Decree only in a very irregular manner ; nevertheless it _is certain that all the friends of legitimacy in • Europe applauded when the Cortes declared null and of no effect the abdications and cessions extorted from the Royal Family at Bayonne. The Cortes were recognised by the Courts of London, Palermo, and Rio Janeiro, as a ligiti mate authority. The Emperor of Russia, when • he broke with Buonaparte, in 1812, concluded %with the Cortes a Treaty, of which the third Article runs thus :— (4 His Imperial Majesty acknowledges as legitimate the Assembly of the , General and Extraordinary Cortes, actually met at Cadiz, as well as the Constitution of the Spanish Monarchy, which that assembly has de creed and promulgated."* That this _assembly, although ligitirnate, has • manufactured- a bad Constitution, favourable to Revolutions, is what we perfectly agree to ; we dare even affirm, that the enlightened Members of the Cortes are far from maintaining that this Constitution is -a good one. But how can we establish the principle that the internal vices of -I. Constitution give Foreign Powers the .right to overturn, by force of arms, a Government and an order of things which they have recognised ? , It was in 1812, at the moment of recognisingl . the Cortes, at the moment of treating with them, that one should have said—" We reserve our selves the right of requiring some modifications in your Constitution." But this is not the only difficulty. In 1820, all the Courts of Europe, with the exception, I believe, of Ahstria, answered officially the letter by which the King of Spain announced that he -had thought fit to put in activity the Constitution of the Cortes. Not one of these answers con tains a disapprobation of this Constitution. The Court of Russia alone, it a Note addressed to M. Zea Bermudez, gave to understand that she blamed the military insurrection of 1820 ; but, in 'the same sentence, insinuated that she disap- * The Duke of Wellington commanded the Royalist armies •of Spain under this title--. 44 Marquess of Duero, Duke of Ciu dad Rodrigo, Generalissimo of the Royal Armies of Spain." ...Ile had no appointment but hOlll the Cortes. proved the system pursued from 1814 to 1820. Nothing in these official documents announces the idea of an interference. It is this double act of recognition of the Con stitutional system of Spain which makes all ar gumentation very difficult, by which it may be attempted to establish a right of interference grounded on the bad,principles of the Constitu tion—principles perfectly known in 1812, and still more in 1820. In general, an interference under such a prin ciple is of a dangerous example. The sovereignty of each State would be annihilated, if the other powers had the right of examining the laws made in it. A victorious revolutionary power would return this same principle upon neighbouring Monarchies, which it would invade on the pre text that such or such article of their Constitu tions was not conformable to the rights qf man. Have we not seen a Buonaparte, when he over turned old dynasties, mix up among his pre tended grounds of offence that of their bad le gislation ? Let us fear, in wishing to do good, lest we forge arms for those who would do evil. Let each nation revise ;Ind modify its laws ac cording to its degree of civilization, its interests, and its wants. Europe can neither be constituted nor governed in common. All the rights of Europe with regard to the Constitution of Spain reduce themselves to this— first, to defend itself against her if she attempted to impose her political code on others, or if she assisted those who might wish to do so; second, to give her the friendly advice to direct well the revision of her Constitution, which, according to various laws respecting it,may take plaue in 1824. There is a much more incontestible motive to interfere i❑ the internal affairs of Spain—a mo tive which depends not on a subtle theory, but on a fact easily demonstrated, if it exists with all the circumstances which public reports seem to put out of doubt. The legitimate and consti tutional King of Spain, is he in liberty, when he does not dare to go to a country house without asking permission of the permanent deputation ? Is he in safety when his guards and the garrison of the capital tight with cannon under the win dows of his palace.? Can he freely exercise the functions of Royalty when ferocious cries resound ing in his ears demand the blood of his almoners without form of trial, as in the case of Vinuesa ? Or when a phrenetic populace accelerates the punishment of Gen. Elio to prevent the effect of an application for pardon, is not his dignity cru elly outraged by the insults lavished on a dying Queen, who is refused the liberty to breathe the country air? These are notorious circumstances; I cite them as such without inquiring what is the cause—who are the authors of them ? It suf fices to prove authentically these facts by a de claration of the Foreign Ministers at Madrid, especially the Family Ambassadors (France and Naples), as having by right a freer access to the Palace ; then the right and duty of Europe to come to the aid of an oppressed Monarch will be perfectly established and profoundly felt. In vain shall it be said that the Cortes have no part in the outrages on the Royal Family ; if that is not the true question, this is :—Have they the power of stopping these outrages ? Can they guarantee the personal safety of the King ? Themselves the playthings of the multitude, how can they if they would ? It is necessary that no legitimate and consti tuted authority should be kept in prison, or a state equivalent to captivity. This is the true principle which European policy should oppose to these revolutions by armed force as fatal to liberty as to authority. This is the only prin ciple which those, who like us take a true inte rest in the frightful situation of the King of Spain must invoke. " But your King in the most perfect state of liberty," will they say to the Government of Madrid," If you will not or cannot comply with this just demand to the satis faction of the Ambassadors representing the other Powers, these Powers cannot recognise in you a Government, nor in your country a Sove reign State." After having laid down this first basis of in terference, the statesmen would have to examine by what means they could succour the King of Spain, what would be the dangers to avoid and the obstacles to overcome, if there is any chance of succeeding by a pacific negociation ; if any thing can be hoped from time, or if it be neces sary to act ; if the different Governments ought to unite their arms or confide the whole to a single power? Finally, in case of success, what, , guarantees ought to be exacted ? And as a good constitution is evidently one of these gua rantees, ought the one to be proposed to be beH fore hand agreed on, or ought it to be left to li beral Spain to propose one? Finally, oughtethis country to be left at war with its Colonies ? These are the questions which occupy at this moment the statesmen of Europe. We will re turn to them without troubling ourselves with the puerile declamations of men unacquainted with these matters; and who are displeased that we support, by reasoning, a cause which they compromise by the amplifications of the College. —( Journal des Debuts.) OCT. 21.—L'Abeille de la Moselle has pub lished a Deliberation of the Chamber of Com merce at Metz, on the project of establishing an European fair, of which M. Chedeax is the author. The Chamber is deeply penetrated with the benefits which would accrue to our country from the establishment of an European fair at Metz ; it admits in all their force the reasons assigned by M. Chedeaux ; it pays homage to the civic intentions of the author of the project, and votes him its thanks. It has in consequence determined that it will solicit by all the means in its power the sanction of the Government, and that for this purpose it will address an account of the present delibera tion to the Minister of the Interior, to the Pre fect of the Moselle, to the Council Governor of Commerce, and to the Municipal Council of the city of Metz. They write from Bayonne of October 15, " An extraordinary courier who passed through here yesterday evening, from Madrid, announces the arrest of three Ministers, Pambley, Marti nez de la Rosa, and ." Letters received to-day from St. Jean Pied de-Port, and from the frontiers of the Aldades, announce that on the 13th a great number of officers and soldiers of the Army of the Faith fir- . rived from Iraty, who stated that the Constitu tionalists bad pursued Cabra's troops to the fron tiers of France. The Liberals had immediately spread a report that the Army of the Faith had been beaten, and that even the garrison ap pointed to guard the fort had abandoned it on the morning of the 14th; it is added, that one of the Commanders of the Guerillas of the three Provinces, named Barrutia, had separated with 400 men to return to Guipuscoa. We have no reason to give the least credit to these reports ; it appears only probable that the Constitution alists were on the 12th in the fort of Iraty, in force, and that Barrutia, at the head of his band, is going to some other point to carry on offensive operations.—( La Quotidienne.) We are assured, that official intelligence of the defeat of the Army of the Faith has reached Government.—(Courier Frangais.) .A letter from Barcelona, of the Gth, has been communicated to us, in which we read the fol lowing details:— " All the insurgent bands of the neighbouring Proviaces have fallen back on Catalonia ; the public mind is excellent. The few Inhabitants who allowed themselves to be deceived by the fanatics have discovered the impostures that were employed to deceive them. This result is owing to the conciliating spirit of Mina, who has done more even by his mildness than by force of arms." The insurrectional regency has retired to Puy cerda, and has sent the sick and wounded to Livia, a village situated on the frontiers. It fore sees, no doubt, that if the snow should stop up the defiles of Andorra, while Cerdania is occu pied by the Constitutional troops, the seo d'Urgel will be invested, and not in a condition to defend itself. M. Legacieux, responsible Editor of the Cou rier Francais, went of his own accord on Wed nesday, and gave himself up as a prisoner, till it pleases the Court : of Cassation to decide on the appeal formed by the four opposition journals, against the decision by which they are interdicted from reporting judicial proceedings. It seems that little regard is had for his voluntary submis sion to the decrees of justice, and that he is treat ed with more rigour than at his former detention in the same house of Saint Pelagic. Till now, the prisoners for political offences, and those for offences of the press, had been collected in one corridor, separate, and without communication with other prisoners for crimes or offences which are not connected with opinions.—Mo rality and humanity equally applauded this arrangement,—for which we were indebted to the zeal of the Commissioners appointed to memorate the interior regulations of prisons.— But for some time past all these philanthropic dispositions have been changed, and now it seems as if there was an affectation to unite at Saint Pelagie persons Avho are not destined to live with one another. Thus M. Legacieux is placed in a dirty, dark, and damp chamber, in which he is forbidden to light a lire, and which he is obliged to share with a man detained for having used a false name, in order to commit a large robbery of some diamonds. Thus also the Corridor, in which he is confined, is peopled with 16 persons, of whom several are condemned for theft or fraud. This is not all. His journals are de tained, and his letters reach him unsealed.— Finally, his wife and his son have not been able to obtain permission to see him since the five days that he has been in prison. We do not believe that authority commands its subaltern agents to expose the persons detained for political offences to such painful humiliations and priva tions; but we shall be justly astonished if know ing of them it tolerates any longer that they are inflicted.—(Courier Francais.) The Ruche D' Aquitaine of the 16th October says, " It was not General Mina, but General Espinosa, who was sent chained by order of Colonel Alexander O'Donnel, commandant of the Regiment 7'he _imperial Alexander, to Pam peluna, at the request of the Constitutional Offi cers."—(Journal de Paris, Oct. SEMLIN, OCT. 3.—A courier arrived at. Bel grade has brought a Firman from the Sultan, which orders all objects of gold and silver to be delivered up. 'To•morrow this Finnan will be published, but the Turks and the Christians already manifest the greatest astonishment. The news from Salonica comes down to the 15th Sept., and from Seres to the 18th. In the former the Turkish fugitives coming from Larissa have taken possession of the handsomest houses belonging to the Greeks. Letters from Bitoglia, of Sept. 20, announce, that Chourschid Pacha, who is sometimes at La rissa and sometimes at Ternovo, has sent a corps of 4,000 men towards Salona, but they were en tirely defeated. Chourschid has since then sent a great deal of baggage to Bitoglia, and it is generally thought he will establish his quarters in that town, which is more probable on account of the plague raging in Janina, and besides Tassis and Diamantz are close to his rear at Ser vizia, only four leagues from Larissa, with 7,000 men. These two .Chiefs have been for three weeks in possession of Plataccione, and have probably prevented Chourschid from personally entering the Morea. All this information is in circulation at Belgrade, and is regarded as true. A Turk of high rank said lately to a Christian, with much naivete, " that the Turks now expect succours from the Congress against the Greeks." NUREMBERG, OcT. 14.—A letter from Verona of September 30th, announces that the Russian Minister is arrived in that city, and that be has visited the palace of Canossa, but not found it worthy of his Sovereign. All the palace Du Cours is destined for the suite of this Monarch. The greater part of the house Sagramosa is de stined for the Court of the Viceroy of Italy, and for the Chancellors. The Prussian Minister is arrived, and regards the house Fracostoro, as too small for him. The Hereditary Prince of Austria will also come to Verona, and will occupy the palace Aligeri, which he has hired for five thou sand francs. Prince Leopold of Naples, with his wife, are also to be there as well as the Duke of Calabria. The number of Ambassadors is in credible. Cardinal Spina and two Nuncios of the Pope live at the Episcopal Palace. The King of Prussia has two" Princes with him. The Emperor of Austria has sent gold in bars to Venice, to be coined into double sequins. The banker Papadoli has received from him a bill of exchange for four million francs. The horses of the King of Naples are arrived. They are very handsome.—(Nuremberg Gazette.) FROM THE BANKS OF TILE LECH, OCTOBER 12. —According to several commercial letters arriv ed within these few days, .Chourschid Pacha has received from Constantinople the most formal orders to do all in his power to penetrate again into the Morea ; and for this purpose he has col lected as many troops as possible : but, in spite of his activity he is unable to execute the plan which has been drawn up for him ; that he com plains very much of the slowness with which the reinforcements he had been promised arrive; and that the orders he transmitted to Bulgaria, in consequence of the full powers entrusted to him, have not been executed. A commercial letter from Salonica, of Sept. 14, brought to Trieste by an Austrian vessel, in forms us that the Greeks, profiting by their maritime superiority, have effected several de barkations on different points of the coast of Macedonia, less with an intention of establishing themselves than of annoying the Turks, and of obliging them to scatter their forces. These demonstrations have already produced the effect the Greeks intended, at least in part ; for the Pacha of Salonica has sent towards the Peninsula of Cassandra the troops which he was to send to Thessaly. The same letter from Salonica, which does not, from motives easy to be conceived, enter into great details, informs us, however, that the troops expected from the banks of the Danube, in Macedonia, were not yet arrived. The trade of Salonica is nearly, nothing at present. • News from Venice, of October 6th, informs us that a numerous corps of Greeks collect ed in the environs of Vrachory, has pene trated into Thessaly, and menaces Chourschid Pacha to operate in his rear, if he again advances towards Livadia. The report of a naval contest, which termi nated very favourably for the Greeks, continues in circulation. ~~~ SWEDEN. The following is a copy of the Speech deli livered to a Deputation of the Norwegian Stor thing, by the King of SWEDEN, upon his arrival at Christiana on the Ist, when the President, M. SIBItERN, was introduced, and addressed his MA JESTY in the name of the Storthing " I receive, with very great pleasure, the assurances of your attachment, for I know that they are the sincere expression of the sentiments of the nation. You have expressed what it has so often proved. Never doubt my gratitude; the anxiety which I have manifested for your welfare is a lively proof of it. My honour, my happiness, are intimately connected with those of the Norwegian nation. And when, conformably to the order of Nature, I shall cease to exist, my Son will con tinue the work which I have happily commenced—that of ce menting the independence and prosperity of Norway. " I am not insensible to the inconveniences that you may have incurred by quitting your commercial and agricultural occupations, or other branches of industy in which you may individually be engaged ; but I do not doubt a moment of your patriotism and eagerness to make personal sacrifices, when the welfare of the State is concerned, and I think that, when ne cessity requires them, prompt remedies are those which ought to be preferred. " I have caused propositions to be laid before you, respect ing the measures which I think useful in the present state of 1 the finances of the kingdom. If, in the course of your discus sions, your view of things does not accord with mine, I shall know how to respect, your constitutional jurisdiction, and you will give me no displeasure by frankly speaking your senti ments. I shall never entertain the idea that a difference can arise from any other motive than that of real patriotism. I did consider that it would be advantageous to Norway to find in herself the aid which circumstances require, and to avoid, as much as possible, all foreign dependence ; also, that, to realize this view, it only required a judicious application of the effective resources which we possess. But if the com mercial interests regard with alarm the loans which the Bank would make to the State—if you dread that the result would be a new deterioration of paper money, I forego my opinion. I am, it is true, decidedly averse from annual loans, which absorb the national wealth, but 1 willingly accede to one general loan, adequate to the fulfilment at once of our engage ments with Denmark. IVe shall find acceptable conditions, and I know that we have means of repayment in the course of thirty years. I wish not to exercise the slightest influence in your deliberations; I only desire to discharge my Royal duty, and to follow the inclinations of my heart, by aiding you with my advice as a friend and as a father; and it gives me pleasure 0, be convinced that you will never misconceive the purity of my intentions. " I duly appreciate the regret which you express, because my Son does not accompany me in my journey hither. .You may rest assured, Gentlemen, that the attachment you bear to wards hiM is completely reciprocal. His absence will not be long; he will return into our Peninsula towards the close of next month ; but ere a few days more have elapsed, I shall make to you some communications respecting him, which will 'be highly gratifying. " I implore Providence, Gentlemen, that he will vouchsafe to direct your labours, and I assure you all of my Royal good-will." A letter from Jacmel (Hayti), dated the Ist ult., says—" The day before yesterday some Members of the Legislative Assembly, now in the midst of its session, were arrested by order of the President, together with several other indi viduals, for what cause is not known ; but it is supposed the arrest has relation to the late in trigues of General ItomAINE. The number of persons disaffected to the existing Government is undoubtedly very considerable, but the firmness of President BOYER, the devotion of the soldiery to him, and the attachment of the great mass of the population, render it probable that nothing will disturb the tranquillity and security of this country. General ROMAINE'S execution was very sudden and unexpected. An aide-de-Camp of the President was seen riding at full speed into Leogani a few mornings since, who carried the fatal order, which was immediately executed. ROMAINE was an important personage under CHRISTOPHE, whom he served as a Getteral, and bore the title of Duke of EMBE." FRENCH CRIM. CON.
