FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS, JULY 6.—The Sieurs Gossuin, Boyer,
and Chevalier, editor of the Bibliotheque Historique,
accused of violating the law of censorship, having
appealed against the jadgwent of the correctional
tribunal, their cause was called on yesterday in the
Chamber of Appeal for the correctional police.
The appellants, however, did not appear, and the
judgment given against them was confirmed.
An Englishman, a native of Rochester, was taken
into custody, amongst others who were found in the
tumultuous assemblage which recently took place at
Nantes. He was released at the intervention of
the British Consul and a mercantile house to which
he had letters of recommendation. When questioned
by the Juge d'lnstruction, he stated in his defence,
that, not understanding French, and being accus-
tomed to'scenes of far more hostile character in his
own country, he remained in the crowd, as he had
no suspicion that a tumult had commenced.
Intelligence received at Perpignan from Majorca
states, that the contagious n..ilady which afflicts that
island is confined to two villages, in which the
deaths are four or five daily.
A letter from Venice '.:ated June 25, describes
the situation of Ali Pa.-.nu as by no means free from
danger. Growing less active and vigilant in his old
age, he has within two years given up quietly, to
governors appointed by the Porte, several strong
places, in the hope that he would find uu oportunity
tier recovering his ascendency at the Court of Con-
stantinople. He has only between 18,000 and
20,000 men on whom he can rely. He has, it is
said, 200,000,000 of treasure, but it does not con-
sist altogether in specie, and he has besides become
very parsimonious. The most dangerous antagonist
of Ali is the l'aslut of Scutari, who has an army of
23,000 men.
Accounts in German papers, on the contrary, re-
present Ali Pasha's army as 120,000 strong, com-
manded by several ibreign officers. According to
another report he has been assu.:sittated.

Trade is stated to be very brisk at Bordeaux. A
letter dated the 22d ult. states, that numerous arrivals
from the East and West Indies enliven commerce,
and give employment to the labouring classes.

The following is an extract of a letter from
Gibraltar, dated 12th June
You will no doubt have received the important intelligence
of the plague having broken out in the island of Majorca before
this reaches you. Accounts have arrived here, the last dated the
Ist instant. No restrictions have as yet been made on our coin-
munication with Spain. in consequence; but we are informed at
the Patrique Department, that a considerable alteration in the
Quarantine on vessels coming from the coast of Spain will be
made immediately. We do not know if our communication
with Spain by land will be suspended. No people have a greater
dread of the plague than the Spaniard., and they will spare no
measures to prevent its introductiou into their country. Some
with whom we have conversed appear to view the busmen in a
very gloomy light.
ti P. s.—Vi re think it right to state for your Government, that
the long Quarantine which must inevitably be petformed by all
vessels from the Eastward, will, we fear, have the effect of put-
ting an entire stop to our trade with the Valenciaas and Catalo•
nions ; sad as the plague has no doubt been introduced by some
vessel from Tetuan admitted into the Lazaretto at Port Mahon.
it is apprehended that this, the only channel of our intercourse
with Barbary, will be likewise obstructed."
