FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS, DEC. 121.—The Duke of 'Wellington
left Paris this (Friday) morning. It appears
that the noble Duke thought of making a longer
stay, for he had, it is said, accepted several
invi-
tations, which his prompt departure compelled
him to renounce.—(Courier Francais.)
On Thursday, the King received in private
audience M. the Marquis de 13ellisen., College
President, and M. de Reinhard, King's Minister
at Frankfort. His Majesty -received, in private
Audience, his 'Excellency the 'Mike of Welling.
Eton. His Grace, after leaving the 'King, had the
honour of paying his respects to their Royal
Highnesses the Princes and Princesses.
Their Excellencies the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, and the Minister ,of Marine, and the
Keeper of the seals, successively transacted
.business with theEing.on Thursday. _ _

The Duke de 131acas will succeed the Duke
de Duras on the Ist of January next, in the ser-
vice of Principal Gentleman of the Royal Chamber.
On Thursday advices from Madrid, dated the
• evening of the 11th instant, were received by an
extraordinary conveyance. Nothing remarkable
had transpired ; there had been no disorders com-
mitted either on that or the preceding days.
According to a report made by the Political
Chief of Ciudad Real, it appears that the troop
of Zaldivar has been attacked and routed at Per- I
—zuna. Amongst the dead was found one which
is thought to be Zaldivar himself; the body in
.question was conveyed to the town and exhibited
on the scat old, as if it Iva, to undergo the for-
mality of an execution. Such is the trickery of
cur Jacobins.

The Viscount de Chateaubriand arrived here
'yesterday (Friday) morning, at six o'clock, from
Verona. He was present at a Council of Minis-
ters held at noon. It is natural to believe that
he then made his report on the last conferences of
the Congress, and that he communicated the de-
fiuitive determinations which have been come to.
It is affirmed that the Syndics of the Exchange
(brokers) having presented themselves to his Ex-
cellency the Minister of Finance, to solicit from
him some information on the state of things, M.
de Villele replied, that the present situation of
Europe required great circumspection on the part
of speculators. It is added, that his Excellency
disavowed all participation whatever in the articles
of the Journal des Debuts, which had been attri-
buted to him by several journals.—(Quotidienne.)
There was a soiree last evening (Friday) at
the residence of M. de Villele, President of the
Council of Ministers : M. de Pozzo di Borgo,
• the Russian Ambassador, and the Duke of Wel-
lington, were present. ,His • Grace set off this
morning (Saturday) at 4 o'clock, forliondon.—
The noble Duke was indisposed at the moment
of his departure.—(Journal des Debuts.)
On Thursday afternoon, M. the Count •de
•Villele, President of the Council of Ministers,i
and the Duke de Montmorency, successively-i
transacted business with the King.
It is almost useless to say, that the Eloile of
yesterday (Friday) evening, contests the reason-
ing which the Journal des Debuts published in the

morning, in favour of peace. If the partisans of
.peace enjoy their career in the morning, the par-
tisans of war revenge themselves in the evening.
It might be said that all this is a comedy, in
'which each plays the part assigned to him. Since
the Ministry appear to be amused by it, the
public have only to forget what it costs them,
and also to be amused. The Etoile seemSlo re-
proach the Journal des Debals of favouring specu-,
lation in the Stocks. The Journal des Debats is
enabled significantly to answer the Etoile, and to
•point out to it certain official editors to whom are
imputed the warlike articles, and who profit by
the decline of the funds which result from them.
How little soever these gentlemen pride them-
selves iu this game, there will, perhaps, result 'foi‘
the public explanations more curious than edify-
g..(Courier Francais.)
The last letters from Verona announce that
the Emperor of Russia will not pass through
Vienna on his return to his dominions. This
prince will proceed immediately into Lithuania,
where he will inspect a part of his army, and
thence to his capital.
Marshal Davoust is dangerously ill.
In the 101st number of the Feuille d',4[fiches,
published at Arras, we find the following-article,
4vhichwe copy literally :-
- " The Chevaliqr de Sombrin has written to us requesting us

to insert in the present number the following particulars,.which

he has obtained from Lille, respecting the gratifying reception
which M. Marchangy experienced in that town One‘ofiny
friends dined with the Deputy in the concert-room, which was
tastefully decorated, and shared the joy of a hundred persons
who were present. Exquisite music contributed in no small
degree to the pleasure of the entertainment ; couplets were
sung, and delightful verses were read, to. which M. de Mar-
changy,replied that nothing appears more astonishing than my
election. How happened it that you.did not choose for your

twelfth Deputy a man possessing great property in this neigh.

bourhood, and distinguished by those good qualities and ta-
lents. which are so common in this department? Alt ! you
have chosen me who am,only a poor traveller, anti who possess
ma-other title to your approbation but the zeal which I have
-exhibited in opposing the enemies of the Throne. But what
-can I say ? (placing his hand on his breast) 1 am naturalized
here ; I see only brothers around me, and if I cannot here ex-
press the gratitude which I owe you, I will in the tribune,
where 1 will prove how sensible I am of the honour you have

done me by electing me, and I will defend the interests of the
Throne and of you.' He then embraced the Marquis de Ju-
name on his right, and the Prefect on his left, saying I kiss
yom all.' The guests in fact accepted the kiss, which was called
the Marchangian salute. It is impossible to describe the en-
thusiasm which prevailed at the meeting.
" The Deputy is a wit, and is very happy at prompt repartee.
A lady having asked why persons of her sex might not be elec-
tors, he replied, Madam, you might be electors, but you could,
not be Deputies.' Why not ?' said the lady. Because no
woman would like to acknowledge that she was forty years of
age.' Did d'Aguesseau himself ever say such good things ?"
(Coratitution,ng.)

nutsTs, DEC. 7.—lmportant news from Hydra, of the
23d of November, has arrived here, which will be heard with
interest in Chritian Europe. The heroic Greek seamen, in.
-their slight mercantile vessels, had followed the great Turkish

fleet to the neighbourhood of Tenedos, and there saw, with im-
patience, the enemy at anchor, with the intention of returning
to Constantinople as soon as permission should be received.—
The same sailors who had caused the melancholy fate of the
Capitan Pacha, offered in their enthusiasm to make a second
similar attempt. The Admiral gave his permission, and 17
brave Greeks, headed by one illeianly, whose name will one
day be illustrious in history, approached the great Admiral's
ship at seven o'clock in the evening of the 10th of November,
with fire-ships. The people on board this colossus already ap-
prehended the approaching misfortune, when 31eiauly, with his
own hand, threw combustibles into the fire-ships, and hasten-
ed the explosion. The success was brill;ant. The Admiral's
ship, with the Capitan Pacha on board, and two thousand
five hundred men, was blown up. Two frigates began to
burn. The Turks were thrown into confusion, of which the
Greeks took advantage, and took a frigate of thirty-six guns
undamaged. Thus, in the course of this year three Capitan
Pachas have perished ; one of them died of the plague. The last,
as Christian Journals affirm, was very skilful, having served
under the celebrated Captain Pacha Hussein, in Egypt, at the
time of the English expedition, 24 years ago. Extraordinary
rejoicings took place at Hydra on this occasion ; their joy was
still greater, because the weicome news was brought by an
English corvette, which had hoisted the Greek flag along with
its own. Lord Strangford, who is now here, sets out the day
after to-morrow for Corfu. The policy of the English appears
to have quite altered ; at least the Greek blockade is at length
recognized by them.

SEMLIN, DEC. 2.—Direct accounts relative to the latest
events at Constantinople have not yet reached Belgrade. The
Pacha has no fresh couriers from that city, but has received
news by way of Nissa, respecting which he observes total si-
lence. Private letters from Nissa, of 30th November, are how-
ever here, which say that a Tartar had arrived, who only
brought accounts stating, in general, that there were great dis-
turbances at Constantinople and Adrianople; that the party of
Valet Effendi was overthrown, and the Janissaries acted as
masters. It is remarkable that, according to these accounts,
the enraged Janissaries at Adrianople had murdered the Muft
A yan and all the adherents of lialet, but no Greeks.—(Allge-
meine Zeitung.) _

The Austrian Observer of the oth, 10th, and 11th December,
has no news from Greece and Turkey.

VIENNA, DEC. 7.—His Majesty the Emperor has at length
acceded to the request of his brother, the Archduke Rainier, to
permit him to retire from the office of Viceroy of the kingdom
of Lombardy and Venice. It is said that the Archduke Francis
Charles, the Emperor's second• son, will be invested with the
dignity of Viceroy of the Austrian possessions in Italy, and in
this quality have the supreme direction' both of the civil and
military affairs. But as this young Prince is not much versed
in the affairs of Government, he is to be assisted by Field
Marshal Count Bellegarde, President of the Council of War,
who will reside with him at Milan. The Archduke Rainier
will take on him the administration of the affairs of the Empire
during the absence of the Emperor. The Archduke Lewis,
another brother of the Emperor's, who is now entrusted with
the affairs of the Administration, is to have the chief direction
of the Council of War. These changes are to be carried into
effect in the month of January next.

SPAIN.

MADRID, DEC. 11.

A person residing at' Lisbon, and on whose
authority we can rely, informs us by to-day's
courier, that the Portuguese Minister for Foreign
Affairs, in conforniity with the general wish of
the nation, and his own patriotic views, has defi-
nitively adopted the ultimatum proposed by the
Spanish Government, accepting the plan of an
offensive and defensive alliance between the two
nations, and leaving to a period of greater tran-
quillity the discussion of the old pretensions to
Olivenza, Montevideo, &c.

The bases of this alliance are very judiciously
drawn up. Its execution is particularly easy,
and its conditions are equally honourable to both
parties, and are founded on the principle of ri-
gorous reciprocity.

A select corps of 8,000 Portuguese, of all arms,
will immediately enter Spain, to remain at the
disposal of the Spanish Government ; and if cir-
cumstances should further require it, this corps
will 'be increased, according to the necessity of
the case,'and to the interest which both nations
feel in defending the common cause at every ex-
pence.
