FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAARS.

• • . PARIS, RAT 17.
t Thesperiod when the destiny of tlic Spisuish na-
tion and of its Sovereign will hr irrevocably fixed,
no longer appears to he remote. The Official
Journal already begins to throw aside part of the
veil %%Melt concealed the tiegociations, whereof
llayotitie was the centre, by announcing the con-
clusion of a treaty between the Emperor and the
different Members of the Spanish House. The
article wherein the Mesaitetir announcer this im-
portant intelligence, is dated Bayonne, Muy 11,
and is as follow.
" By a treaty concluded between the Emperor
NsPdleolf and king Charles, mid w his li has been
acceded to he the Prince of the Asturias. anti the
lnfarttl lion Carlos, Don Francisco, and lion An-
tonio, who co the whole of the Members of
the House of ul, all the existing differences
have been adjust. We are still iguorant of the
eisditions of the treaty. According to the Con-
stitution of ourGoverinnent,it cannot lie made pub-
lie till it hart been communicated to the Senate.
But ere perceive by the Proclamation of the King
of Spain, anti` that of the Prince of Asturias, that
the Emperor Napoleon is clothes! with all the
rights of the [louse of :trait'. King Charles, Queen
Louisa Maria, Queen Maria Louisa, and the Infant
Don Francisco, dive to-day with the Emperor,
and set off to-morrow for Bourdeaux. They will
make this journey in four days, and will repair to
Fontainbleau, whence they will go to Cumpeigne.
It is believed that this residence -hus beta destined
by Hir Majesty to King Charles, that he laity spend
the remainder of his days there. The Prince of
Asturias, the Infant Don Carlos, and the Infant
Don Antonio, spent the evening yesterday with
their Majestuss the Emperor sod Empress. They
will spend two days at Bourdeaux, and will after-
wards proceed to Valency, whence it is probable
they will go to Navarre It is believed thut liw
Mijesty has ceded to teem that superb domain,
and the forest eppertainnig to it.
" It is said that Lousy Spaniards of distinction
are on the road to J3a, mine, where, it appears, that
the Emperor is about to hold a gcnerol .routs. It is
presumed, tnat he will be occupied, not only in re-
gulating the succession to the Throne, but also in
fixiiig certain ameliorations which all good Sp u-
rner& call fur. Every thing is entirely tranquil in
Spain. Things arc on the best footing there."
To the above article were joined, a mandate from
King Charles to the Junta of the Government. an-
nounciog the nomination of the Grand Duke of
Berg, Lieutenant-General of the Kingdom, and a
Proelemidien addressed to the Spaniards, both
dated on the 4th of May; u Proclamation of the
sth of May, from the Junta to the Inhabitants of
Madrid ; a circular (Proclematioe) sent on the 6th
by the Inquisition to all the. Tril Is of the kiug-
dom ; and, finally, a Leiter from the King to the
Supreme Council of Castile, and to tha Council of
the Inquisition. The first two of the-e pi• ces (we

The Conservative Senate hesitate been convoked
to an extraordinary meeting on Friday neat. After
the important documents relative to Spain, pub-
lished by the Official Journal, there is every reavon
to suppose that this extraordinary meeting must be
connected with the affairs of that kingdom ; and it
is probable that the treaty by which the Emperor
Napoleon has just acquired all the right of the
House of Bourbon try the Throne of Spain, will be
communicated at this Sitting to the chief public
body of the State. We are also assured, that there
will be presented for the sauctism of the Senators,
the project of a Seiterns-Conseite, relative to the
union of Tuscany with the Enquire; and that the
Colvernment General of those departments which
heretofore composed the kingdom of Etruria, sill
be erected into a great dignity of the empire, and
given to General Menou. It is added, that in this
curse there will be established in that country a
Junta, over whisli a Onvernor-Cetieral will preside,
and which will be composed of three Masters of
Requests. and ea Auditor of State Council, per-
forming the functions of a Secretary-Gencrul.

The Sonntor, Lucien Bonaparte, quitted
ou the 14th of this month, to repair to Florence,
where, it is understood, he descended first of the
Black Eagle, and afterwards settled in the Hotel
Ximenes, where Ucteral Fiorella lodged. liis
Holiness persists still in the same disposition with
respect to the concessions which have been re-
quired of him. Towards the end of the last
manth,His Holiness addressed, through his Secre-
tary of State, a circular letter to all the Cardinals
who had revived orders to quit Rome, conceived
in these terms :--

'I His Holiness. OUT muter, hss comenatidoil his
Secretary of• State, Cardinal Doria l'aintili, to
make known. to your Eminence, that his heart
hashers' penetrated with the 'most poignaiit grief,
on being informal of the order given by the
French General to so many members of the Sn-
eed College, to quit Rome within threw days,—
His Bottum, who clearly red that this measure
tends to overthrow the empire of the Church.
since those members are removed from his person
who are necessary to the direction of bis affairs.
and at last his Minister, his S icar. cannot in con-
science permit this departure ; he prohibits, there-
fore, every one, upon his oath of obedience, to
re-
move from Home, unless absolutely compelled by
force t and His Holiness, foreseeing this cave, that
after having torn your Eminence from his bourn,
you might be left at a certain distance (rein Home,
is ofoptition, that you should not continue your
journey, unless compulsion should be used, to the
ptace designated to you ; in order that it may he a
matter of pulilie notoriety that your removal from
the Head of the Church has not been voluntary,
lint front compulsion. The virtues of all the indi-
viduals who have received the orders to depart,
alone support the afflicted soul of His Holiness,
and arts • pledge to him, that, according to his
exatnple, they will support these persecutions with
patience, mei that the sentiments of the Sacred
College, far from being weakened, will be
strengthened."
Though this piece had been sent to the Cardi-
nale heft,rc their departure, it did not prevent some
of them from goiug voluntarily to the places point-
ed oat to them. M. Lefebre, who, after the de-
parture of 'AL Alquier, remained in this city, in
the yr dity of Charge cr.fffaires from Franc* to his
Holiness. has just set out fur Paris, carrying with
him all the papers and archives of the legation.

HOUSE FURNISHING.
11011131:T V. SMITH.

This was an action far dainag-oh Mr. Gamow
'fisted the C.the, and observed, that a Plaintiff was
a young wan employed in the service of a Mr.
Norris, a merchant. In the early part of the last
year, he had got married. The Defendiutt was a
broker, said forced himself into the confidence of
the Plaintiff, and offered, if he would take a house,
lir, the Defendant, would furnish it, and give him
nine months' credit. The Plaintiff acquiesced,
and took a house accordingly, which was furaislied
by the Plaintiff, and the proper securities were
passed for the payment in nine months. In thy
mouth of September last, the Plaintiff, accompa-
nied by his wife, went to Margate to spend a short
time, leaving II servant and a child of ten months
old in the house, and also three lodgers. Thy De-
fendant, in the latter on.l of September, went to
the house, brought four men with him. and two
carts, and stripped the house of its furniture, from
top to Lottore, deprived the Plaintirl of his
lodgers ; left the servant and child without even
a bed to lie on; destroyed the respectability
Of the Plainta ; and deprived him of part
of his ureaus so earn a livelihood. He then ob-
served, that the bnituloy of the Dalkodant, iu the
tanuner he had removed the articles,cooldOnly be
equalled by his expressions, that the Plaintiff was
the third persoo he had served the same way.—
This self-efficieut broker took on himself to rob
the Plainti;i's house, during his excursion to a wa-
tering-place; and if be had had the advising of
the measure that ought to ensue, he would have
recommended that the broker should have ap.
peered et tiie Bar of the Old Bailey, instead of an
action being brought in that Court. He was here
interrupted hr the Defendant, who said be was
not a broker, but an upholsterer.—Mr. Gsartow
said, that the interruption of the Defendant did
mot alter his opinion of his being a broker, and
that lie was one of the worst kind of brokers—
his conduct had been actually tantamount to rob-
bery ; for, he would venture to say, that the Gen-.
tlemeis of the Jury often purchased en credit, yet
they thought the articles so imarchased as much
their property as those already paid fur, and
would defend them against a mid-day thief, to the
seine extent as they would defend ally other part
of their property. Ile would prove the ease he
had Witted, and lie trusted the Jury would give a
verdict for such damages as would prevent nuiiher
outrages in future.
Sarah Browne, the maid-servant of the Plaintiff,

the funiiture, in the absence of her master and

herself and child during the iii;,;ht.
Mr. PAUSE, Counsel for the Defendant, ob-
served, that the Defendant had reason to expect
he never would have bee I paid for his furniture ;
he would not say but be had acted wrong • but in
mitigation of damages, he would prove ;hat the
Defendant had a ribht to think he would never
have been paid ; at the same time, he was willing
to leave it. to may Officer of the Court to determine
between the two parties:.
Lord Ettucitonoceu observed, that he thought
it was the best mode. It would be in the power
of the Defendant to ,rove the Court, that the
amount of damages should be rested in the proper
Officer of the Court, to wait the result of the cross
action for the priyuseiit for the use of the furniture;
at the saute time, the I lefenlant should pay the
costs of the prevent action, and he hoped it would
be a solicient caution to prevent him from acting
i n the some way again.
The case was accordingly left to a reference.
