FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

MaentD, Nov. I.—The greatest tranquillity
eontinues to prevail in this city. The union and
devotedness of the Cortes, the energy and frankness
of the Min'stry, the imposing attitude which the
constitutional troops haw, taken on all points, an-
nounce a future full of confidence. The news of
the success of General Mina, and the defeat of the
band under the Cure Merino, have produced the
happiest effects on public ()pillion. There arc also
reports of other advantages obtained by Zarco del
Valle and by Gen. Espinosa, the confirmation of
which is every moment expected. The little con-
cord which prevails at the Congress of Verona is
spoken of alai vaguely, and well-intbrmed persons
do nut doubt that the part which England will take
in this assembly will be what justice and round po-
licy prescribe.
The Municipality of Madrd has just decreed the
creation of a new corps of National Guard, which
will be composed of boys from the age of ten to that
of seventeen years, who, however, will only be ad-
mitted upon the consent of their parents. This mea-
sure has, for its object, to familiarise youth, from
their infancy, with constitutional ideas.
During several days past, an extraordinary activity
has been remarked in the War Department, and
orders have 1,...en given fix the completion of numer-
ous articles which the artillery are in need of, as
well as tir purchases of horses, supply of clothing,
&c.—Very extensive movements continue to lx:
made amongst our troops ; all, or nearly all, the
provincial militia are on foot, and march, as well as
troops of the line, towards the Ft Latch frontiers
there only remains in the interior what is indispen.
ruble ht. the maintenance of public tranquility, and
even the garrisons of the livtresses arc reduced to
their minimum.

Yesterday, Lieutenant-Gen. the Prince of Santo-
Mauro was put into prison. During the first week
of July, this personage did not quit the palare: ac-
cording to infOrmation obtained by preliminary
investigation, it is affirmed that he was nominated
Captain or Commandant General of the entire divi-
sion of the Royal Guard, in case the project of de-
stroying the Constitutional system should succeed.
'I he Marquess de Casa Sarria has fled to dibral.
tar: orders had been already given for his arrest.
The Duke de Plntantado has also escaped from Co-
runna, and has embarked fur England.
The Cortes yesterday granted Government the
aunts it had required for the augmentation of the
army. Immediately afterwards, extraordinary con-
ices were despatched to the provinces with the ne-
cessary orders and instruction to hasten all the
preparations of this great operation, so that it is
thought that ere the lapse of three months, we shall
be able to place on ling an army of GO,OOO men.
BiIVIISLLS, Nov. 7.—A t Liege, some arms manu-
factured in that town by Messrs. Istalnerbe de Gof-
liintuinc, and Runge and Son, have been shewn
they consist of sabres, pisto:s, and fowling pieces,
and leave nothing to be desired on the score of good
taste, of design, or of periCet execution. When
Iklgium was united to France, the French Govern-
ment knew how to value the importance of the ma-
nufacturers at Liege, and gave them useful eneon-
ragctaent. The Ministry of the Netherlands have
required six years beibre they suspected Out these
line manufactures were not less estimated than those
of England. and that it would be more advantageous
to cause the arms tbr the troops to be manufaetured
at Lave, than to import them from England.

went has consented to settle the Norwegian debt to

Marseilles, in order to embark for Greece, are re-
turning, because permission to proceed on the voyage
