PARIS, SEPT. 30.—A letter from Perpignan,
dated the 18th instant, confirms the details already
given relatively to the sad condition of Barcelona
and a part of Catalonia. The number of persons
who have quitted Barcelona is stated to be from 35
to 40,000, who are scattered in different quarters of
that ill-tatetl province. Tortosa, and the whole
shore of the Ebro, is a prey to this terrible scourge:
Malaga, Cadiz, Xeres, and Port St. Mary, are not
exempt from the infection. It is feared that the
state of political affairs does not permit the Govern-
ment to deliberate with effect upon the necessary
measures which such grievous circumstances require.
Barcelona, it is said, is only occupied by individuals
whom the hope of pillage has induced to remain.
The lazaretto of that town is now empty ; all those
who were confined there have died: that of Barce-
lonetta is menaced with the same results.
A letter from Mount Louis, dated the 19th inst.
announces that all Catalonia is in desolation, and that
the streets of Barcelona are deserted, as the unhappy
inhabitants have withdrawn to the mountains, from
whence they are repulsed by the peasantry, and die
of famine and misery. This letter confirms the pre-
vious accounts, that upwards of 67,000 passpints
were delivered before the establishment of the cordon
of health. It was concealed from the inhabitants
that this coulon would be firmed at a very little
distance from the town: as soon, however,.as it was
known to them, they committed sad excesses. The
civil authorities had quitted the town.
A letter from Bayonne, dated the 22d, says,—
" Advices have reached our authorities respecting
the progress of the infection at Catalonia, which
has determined them to adopt more rigorous precau-
tions on the frontier of Navarre end Guipuscoa.
The customs' posts have been reinthreed by three
companies of troops of the line, which now form a
strung cordon. The first detachment wiil be sta-
tioned at flendaye, Biriatoco, the Pas-de-Behobia,
mid °Baena; the second at S:.re, and St. Pee; the
third at Ainhod, and ltsazou. The Pas-de-Behobia
is the may point by which communication with
France will be permitted. Thesa measures are at
present merely precautionary, because but little com-
munication exists between Catalonia and our neigh.

bowing provinces. Even should contagious symp-
toms appear amongst us, the vigilance of the
authorities and the fidelity of the troops would
inspire us with security."
Yesterday being the anniversary of the birth -day
of the Duke of Bourdeaux, his Majesty received at
the castle of the Tuileries the congratulations of their
Royal Highnesses Monsieur, Madame, the Duke of
Angoulemc, the Duchess of Berry, the Duke of
Orleans, and other members of the royal family.
There was a grand breakfast, after which the Duke
of Bourdeaux and Mademoiselle were brought to
the King, who caressed these august infants with
great tenderness. After mass, the King, accompa-
nied by his family, appeared at the balcony. An
immen-e crowd assembled beneath filled the air with
shouts of " Live the King," " Live the Duke of. .1
Bourdeaux," " Live the Bourbons." The hotel of
the King's Life Guards was brilliantly illuminated 1
lei the occasion of the anniversary. The Duchess of
Berry also received the congratulations of her royal
relatives on the occasion.
Aensa u 1112, SKIPT. 2 4.—1 t is affirmed that the
Russian Cabinet, although it manifests entire sails-
&aim, upon some points, such as the raising of the
embargo, and the re-establishment of the free pas-
sage of the Dardanelles, insis;s, in the most fbrnial
manner, upon obtaining categorical and inure precise
answers relative to several objects on which the Ot-
toman note expresses itself but very superficially.
It fUrthet appears, that the declaration of the
Russian Cabinet, which contains ample developments,
has been transmitted by the Baron de Lebzeltern,
to Lc addressed without delay to the Porte, through
the medium of M de Lutzow, the Austrian Inter,
nuncio at Constantinople.

NUREMIJIM, SEPT. :13 .—We have received ac-
counts from Curti*, which represent that and the
other lonian Islands to he in a very precarious state.
The ferment which has been observed tier sonic time
rust is increasing every tidy, and may be attended
with rerious cowcquelice: it arises from the discon-
tent with regard to the Euglish, which is apparent
in the lonian Islands.

Pcmitsuumm, Seer. 7.—The Conserv('!cur Im-
perial cout:►ins the following article:—" 13aron
Strogonotf, the Emperor's Ambassador to the Otto-
mon Porte, atter having performed quarantine with
hi legation in the port of Odessa, will proceed di-
mot to St. Petersburgh. He is expected there about
the 20th or 25th of this month."

WARSAW, SEPT. 10.—The German papers have
w uderfully exaggerated the warlike preparations
a .41 marching of troops which may have taken place
i t the Russian empire, the greater part of the army
o the south remaining in its cantonments, under the
command of Count 11'ittgenstein. That General
Las only pushed forward some light detachments ore
