FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

VIENNA, MAY 4.—We know nothing of the affairs
of Turkey. The Court publishes nothing. At the
Exchange many reports offtace and war are circu-
lated. We expect with Tffe greatest impatience
intelligence from St. Petersburgh, which would put
aside all uncerainty.
Mr. Gordon, the English Charge d'Affaires, has
had within a few days past several conferences with
the Prince de Metternich, and has sent off u courier
to Logdon. •
lifte have received no accounts front Constanti-
nople,. subsequent to the 17th of April. At that
period the Turkish army was still receiving new
reinforcements from Asia, but these troops remained
in the environs of Constantinople.
'the Turkish fleet commanded by the Captain
Pasha, Ali Bey, was to have proceeded to the Black
Sea, but his destination was suddenly changed, in
consequence of the insurrection at. Scio. The Grand
Seiginx seat positive orders to Ali Bey, to put down
the rebels at Seio, and to annihilate the Greek
ravy ; but the Turkish vessels are not completely
equip,ed, and are badly armed Compelled to sail,
Ali !ley proceeded to Galtipol to complete his equip-
ment. There are some thousand troops on board,
t;,r the purpose of effecting a debarkation.
HAMBUII6II, 31/tv 10 —We have received from
tl.e banks of the Pruth, accounts dated the 21st of
April, containing the important intelligence that
the second Russian army had received ror the se-
cond time orders to hold themselves in readiness to
march ; the third order will fix its destination.—
The Emperor was expected at Bessarabia.
LAUSANNE, NIAY 10.—The Government of the
Canton of Western Switzerland have received new
summonses, not to suffer the residence in their ter-
ritories of' irty foreigner proscribed, or a fugitive on
account of political offences. The ministry of a
great power has declared to the Swiss, that if they
are not more correct in future in satisfying the de-
mands addressed to them in this respect, it will be
obliged to adopt such measures as circumstances
may render expedient. The Directing Canton has
transtnitted to the Cantons interested in it, the
communications thus wade, accompanied by consi-
derations derived front the present situation of Swit-
zerland. This explains, without altogether ex-
cusing it, the attention which our authorities have
sliewn to acts which at another time would have
been considered as attacks upon our independence.
We have been much occupied here for some time
with the projected Tariff of Customs, which is to
be proposed at the next Diet. If it is adopted, it
will he ruinous to the Cantons which carry on
commerce with France, but it will give great ad-
vantages to the German manufacturers, and to the
Cantons which trade direct with them. From the
manner in which our afll,irs arc managed. there is
but too much reason to fear that this Germanic
combination will prevail over th-s. general interest of
the S te his communes.

1%1 Anatu, MN' 7.—We have received to-day
certain intelligence of the complete defeat of the fac-
tions who were lately assembled In Catalonia and in
Biscay. The latter havo been entirely dispersed ;
the others have experienced the same fate, and thew
only remains a weak band who have taken refuge
on the French territory.
The whole of this army of the Faith found, it is
said, mysterious protectors at Uourdeaux, Bayonne,
and Perpignan, and who doubtless are unknown to
the trench Government itself.

Tinee or four regiments have passed within these
few days through the environs of this capi.al, march-
ing, it is said, towards the frontiers, to observe
the French Sanitary Cordon, which is every day
reinforced.

M. de Legarde, the French Ambassador, has been
fur some days at Aranjucz.
There was celebrated to-dui• with great pomp the
National Fete decreed by the Cortes, to perpetuate
the recollection of the memorable day of the 2d of
Alay, 1808, which witnessed the awakening of the
Spaniards from their long lethargy, and the com-
mencement of the contest in favour of national
independence.
FRANKVoIas MAY B.—Letters from several com-
Inertial houses at Vienna confirm the intelligence of
o new loan, on account of the Austrian Government.
