FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS, SEPT. 26.—The Moniteur of yesterday
published the following Ordinance, dated Sep-
tember 22

" Louts, &c. Having under consideritiiii die report of our
Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Jiistke, charged with the port-
folio of the Interior, from which it results that the sanitary
measures established on the frontiers of the Pyrenees are hence-
forth withotit any object; Wishing, neierthelesi, to proVide for
the protection of the inhaliitand of that frontier, our Council of
State being heard, we have ordered, and do'order, as follows :
" Art. 1. The sanitary theasnres prescribed on the frontier
of the Pyrenees; in virtue of our ordinance of the 27th Sep-
tember, 1821, with respect to Occurrences by land, shall cease
from the date of the Ist of October 'next.
"2. The troops employed on the sanitary cordon shall be
maintained as a corps of obseriatidn."
The Marquis de Ctermont=Tonnerre, Minister
of the Marine, set off yesterday evening to visit
the out-ports. He goes'first to Cherbourg, then
to Brest, and returns by the way of Nantes.
M. de Chateaubriand will proceed to Vienna
in the beginning of next week.
Letters from Vienna, dated the 13th, state that
the Emperor Alexander had given private
audiences to Prince Metternich, Lord Stewart,
Viscount Montmorency, and Count Bernstorff.
—lt was expected that the French Minister of
Foreign Affairs would only continue at Vienna
until the arrival of the Duke of Wellington, after
which he would return to Paris.
The Criminal Section of the Court of Cessation
will to-morrow pronounce judgment on the ap-
peal
of Berton, Caffe, Henri, ,Fradin, gauge,
Senechault, and Jaglin, condemned to death by
the Court of Assize of Poictiers.
The Duke of Wellington has passed through
Metz. His Grace travell slowly; onoccount of
the state of his health: The departtire for. Verona
will be postponed.
L'Echo du Midi states, that General Quisada
arrived on the 12th at Urgel ; 'his' division, con-.
sisting of 2,000 men, was at Talaru, and , had
sworn fidelity-to the regency. The Army of the
Faith- impatiently expected the -constitutionalists
from Arragon and Catalciuia, who have combined
their forces' to march against Seo.
L'Echo also announces, that on the Bth' the
descamisados- had proclaimed the republic at Bar-
celona,. and that the troops had shut themselves
in the citadel. This account seems very impro-
bable, from the following passage contained in
anotberjournal of Toulouse, dated Perpignan the
16th. of September
" The last courier has not arrived : we received news from
Barcelona on the 11th ; General Mina was still expected there.
He is said to be at Lerida, with 10,000 men, which are to be
joined by a column of 3,000 militia, who have not yet arriyed."
We have much more reason to suspect the veracity of the Echo
du Midi, when it says that the cry of the Revolutionists, on
charging the Royalists, is—' Down with God, the Virgin, and
the King—Long live the Devil Does the ECI4O hope to per-
suade its readers, in spite of 'common sense, that in a coml.'
try so religious as Spain, the interests of the Constitutionalists
permit theth to utter blasphemies which would be injurious to
their cause ?
A Madrid journal announces thatthree,hun-
dred and five ladies of that city have presented
an address to the King, praying him to pursue
the constitutional career with firmness : they
add,. that they will inspire their husbands and
children with • the same sentiments, and that if
Spain should be attacked, they would themselves
take up arms in its defence.
[From the Courier Francais.]
The ordinance relative to the sanitary cordon
has produced some sensation, 'and many persons
are inclined to regard it as the sign of an ap-
proaching war with Spain. This ordinance, how-
ever, has in no way altered the state of affairs—
it has .served only to develop the real nature of
things. It has extinguished a denomination which
the healthful state of the Peninsula rendered
almost ridiculous, and it has substituted another
denomination which common sense pointed out
to every body before it was officially announced.
Every one felt thoroughly convinced that a gall-
tary cordon stationed on the frontier of a country
in which no disease existed, was a sort of fiction
which deceived neither the one nor the other
country, and which could not long remain com-
patible with the dignity of the Government who
employed it.
Every one is aware that, to guard against the
yellow fever, it is not necessary to establish parks
of artillery and bridge equipages, or to collect
supplies of all kinds of provisions : and when to
disguise the object of these preparations, travellers
and merchandise are arrested and confined in
lazarettos, all idea of the existence or the fear of
the contagion vaisiAled. It was merely remarked,
that it would have been possible to- assemble an
army in the Pyrennees, without throwing so' many
impediments in the way of trade, and without
occasioning to poor travellers so much vexation
and loSs of time.
Now, at least, the truth is avowed, and the
first advantage of this will be to restore, to a cer-
. taro degree, a circulation necessary to trade, and
