FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.
(From the French Papers of Friday.)
The King of Naples arrived in his capital on the Ist inst.
The reigning Duke of Brunswick has returned to Bruns-
wick from Berlin.
The Phare de Bayonne of the 12th inst. says—" Gene-
ral Espeleta, late Viceroy ad interim of Navarre, arrived
here the day before yesterday. General Evans, supported
by the fire of numerous pieces of artillery, made an attack
upon the Carlist lines on the 9th at three different points.
His principal object was to gain the heights of Amezagana,
towards which he directed the greatest portion of his forces
and his light artillery. His men advanced as far as La-
sart e, a quarter of a league from Urnieta, on the high road;
but here they were met by two battalions of Carlists, and
compelled to retire within their lines, without reaching
Amezagana. The loss of General Evans has not been
mentioned, but the Carlists say that they had only seven of
their men killed, and a proportionate number wounded.
The junta of Barcelona had sent a representation to the
Queen in opposition to the resolutions come to by the junta
of Malaga, allowing what may be called the free admission
into Spain of English tissues. This representation was de-
livered by the deputies lately chosen at Barcelona. The
Government and the authorities of Madrid have been em-
ploying themselves in changing the names of places and
things—the Plaza Royal is now called Plaza de la Consti-
tucion, the police is named Police of Protection and Public
Salubrity, and the Council of Orders is to be denominated
the Special Tribunal of Orders."
M. de Toreno has succeeded in making his escape from
Madrid. M. Aguilar has been appointed Ambassador of
Spain in London. Advices from the frontiers state that
Gomez had effected his junction with Quilez, and that their
operations would be directed to cut off all intercourse with
Madrid. General Van Helen has fled from his army.
Letters from Bayonne announce that Espartero had died
at Sesma.

Attempts have been made to induce the detachments of
the Foreign Legion organized to Pau to enter Spain, against
the wish of the French Government, which had sent orders
to disband them. Propositions have also been made to
General Lebeau to invite him to continue in the command
of that corps.
The junta of Barcelona has addressed to the Queen
a representation against the late decision of the junta of
Alalaga, which allowed the importation of British manu-
factures almost free of duty. This representation was
handed to her Majesty by the last deputies returned for
Barcelona.

A letter from Bayonne, dated the 12th inst., says—" Cor-
dova gave yesterday a grand dinner, to which all his
friends were invited. The party afterwards set out to see
the curiosities of the neighbourhood, and as the Christino
fort, at the extremity of the bridge of Behobia, is of the
number, nobody approaches the frontiers in that direction
without paying it a visit. Cordova could not but gratify
his curiosity in that respect ; besides, the heads of himself
and friends were heated with wine, and as several lying
and calumniating journals had presumed to doubt the af-
fection of the soldiers for Cordova, it was the moment or
never to convict them of falsehood. The Spanish General
accordingly sent to demand permission of the commander
of the fort that he and his guests might visit it. It was a
mere formality of politeness on his part, but behold the ge-
neral astonishment when the Commander's answer was re-
ceived cautioning Cordova against coming to the fort, lest the
soldiers should give him a reception that might not be agree-
able to him. Cordova, nevertheless, disregarding this
friendly advice, persisted in his first resolution, and ad-
vanced on the bridge, with all his company. I must inform
you, that the Christino commander had had the precaution
of ordering all his men to remain within the fort, and that
the latter could see what was going on on the bridge from
the ramparts. A serjeant, in disobedience of these orders,
sallied out on the bridge to insult Cordova, whilst the sol-
diers set up cries of Death to the traitor !' It is impossi-
ble to say what might have happened had not the comman-
der of the fort caused the serjeant to be arrested and
brought back to the fort, where ho was immediately put
into confinement. The Garrison then began to murmur,
and the commander was obliged to restore the prisoner to
liberty, while Cordova very prudently returned to France."
The Minister of Foreign Affairs is said to have received
yesterday despatches from the French Consuls in Valencia,
Palma, Carthagena, and Malaga, but he has taken good care
that their contents should not transpire. We must conse-
quently suppose that the recent intelligence they bring is
favourable to the constitutional cause. The organization of
the national militia is proceeding with activity in those
towns ; and public opinion, along that coast, is every day
becoming more hostile to the Carlists. Several of their
chiefs had latterly been transported to Majorca. In Spain,
as nearly everywhere else, the French agents apply in vain
for instructions to their Government, and their letters to
the Charge d'Affaires, M. Bois-le-Compte, are not more
successful.—Courricr Francais.

PARIS, SEPT 17.—The Moniteur contains an Ordinance,
directing the electoral colleges of the departments of which
Messrs. Guizot, Duchatel, Rosamel, and Persil are repre-
sentatives, to proceed to new elections, in consequence of
the appointment of those gentlemen to places in the Ad-
ministration.

The Cabinet is very far from agreeing on its choice of a
Minister of War. Two candidates proposed by the Palace
are said to be rejected. One of them, if we are rightly
informed, is an Aide-de-Camp of his Majesty, the other
General Guilleminot. M.. Mole is said to be inclined to
the choice of the Palace.
It is said that General Alava will leave Paris, imme-
diately on the arrival of a courier which he expects in a
day or two. He will first go on private business to Tours,
and will then fix his residence at London, where he has nu-
merous connections.—Messager, Sept. 17.
The Memorial Bordelais has the following article :
According to our letters from Madrid of the 7th, the
half-year's interest of the Spanish Stock, due on the first
of November next, will be duly paid. We do not know
how the Spanish treasury has found means to procure the
necessary sum, but the positive assurance of this fact had
had a favourable effect on the Exchange at Madrid, on
the 6th.

We are happy to be able to announce, with some degree
of certainty, this important news ; for the bankruptcy of
Spain would cause serious losses in every market in Europe.
The Madrid journals of the 7th announce no important
fact. News of the sth had been received from Valencia,
where there had been rejoicings for the re-establishment of
the Constitution.-Journal du Commerce, Sept. 17.

BOURSE, QUARTER TO FOUR.—The Rentes have rather im-
proved to-day; the opening price of the Three per Cents. has
been at 79f. 70c., but soon rose to 79f. 75e., buyers, with a
firm market. The Spanish Active Stock has also improved;
it opened at 28+ and got up to 28i, but has since declined to

SPAIN.
Extract of a letter dated Madrid, Sept. 10. :—Madrid
s completely tranquil. Some disturbances were threatened
by some of the discontented adherents of the Isturiz Minis-
try, who are pushed into extremes by agents from foreign
potentates, anxious to have what is called a republic here,
in order to compromise the renovated constitution ; but, as
far as I can learn, the influence of those agents is but tri-
fling, for the Spaniards hate foreigners and their counsels.
Three facts, which if misconstrued might lead many per-
sons to a false judgment, deserve, however, to be men-
tioned. First, on last Saturday, two Grenadiers entered
the large door of the British Minister's hotel and knocked
at the porter's door, as if in a wine shop, demanding wine ;
the porter and his wife remonstrated, when one of them,
who was inebriated, struck the latter. A military officer
who was passing took the aggressors into custody ; Mr.
VillierS wrote to complain of the insult offered, and ex-
planations were by the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
and the soldiers have have been punished. Second,
some soldiers quarrelled near the river for a trifle, and
wounds and one death ensued. Third, the notorious Pe-
dro Vigo, to whom Cordova, on quitting the army, had
given up the command, having been, on his arrival in Ma-
drid, ordered to proceed to Badajos, has written an in-
solent letter to the Minister of War, and is stated to be
concealed from fear of arrest in Madrid. These three
facts cannot be considered as proofs either of insubordination
or revolution. The Government has contrived to obtain
upwards of 300,0001. from different bankers, which sum is

designed for the use of the army. Colonel de Lancey, of
V.e British Legion, is to receive 25,000/. for the use of
that corps, together with a positive assurance, that as soon
as the accounts of the Legion are settled, any balance
shall be instantly handed over. This officer is expected to
start next week with the money now given for San Sebastian.
The head-quarters of the army of the north are at Mi-
randa. A convoy with money, clothes, &c., is to leave
Madrid on Monday next for Burgos, and General Rodil,
the most active and enterprising of all those who have com-
manded in the north, is to proceed to the army. General
Sarsfield has taken the command as the Viceroy of Navarre.
The Carlist chief Gomez, whose marauding bands trust
more to their rapid marches than to any military move-
ments, has got to Chelva ; where, as it appears, be will
form a junction with some of the leaders of the other
bands. His route, which was as usual marked by deso-
lation, has been, since the defeat and capture of Lopez's
troops, near Jadrague, on the 31st ult., by crossing the
Tagus and proceeding through Arvateta, Armallones, Za-
horejas, Penalen, and thence into Molina towards Hori-
huela, from whence he moved towards Chelva, where he
was on the 7th, at the head of 4,000 infantry and 500
horsemen. Lopez was led about by him as a prisoner.
General Alaix, at the head of Espartero's division, so long
engaged in the pursuit, that the soldiers had worn out all
their shoes, having received 7,000 pair, 4,000 shirts, be-
sides other clothing, and 2,0001. in money, the beginning of
this week; from this city, has succeeded in entering Cu-
enca, thereby liberating it from all immediate danger.
According to letters of the Gth from Valencia, a small
body of the Queen's troops, consisting of 250 men, under
Colonel Breil, was routed in an attack on the Friar Es-
peranza, at the head of 2,000 rebels. Breil fled with two
officers into the city.
The following are the decrees and orders published this
week :

1. To place the regulation of the dependencies of the
order of Isabella la Catolica in the hands of the officers of
the order of Charles 111.
2. To form contracts for supplying the 50,000 equip-
ments for the new levies.
3. To regulate the distribution of the advance of the
200,000,000 among the provinces.
4. To place the clergy, as to voting for, and being, depu-
ties in the new Cortes, on the footing of the law of the 19th
of September, 1813.
5. To regulate the mobilization of the corps of National
Guards, and the new levy of 50,000 men in the most con-
venient manner for payment, &c.
6. To order all the ecclesiastics residing, but not belong-
ing to Madrid, to present themselves to the proper au-
thorities.

7. To sequester the property of all ecclesiastics not re-
siding in their proper places, and of all who oppose the just
rights of Isabel 11.
8. To order all military officers and others to attend when
the Government requires.
9. To re-establish the laws of the Cortes of the Bth of
June, 1813, respecting agriculture and sheep flocks.
10. To appoint a committee of public beneficence, as or-
dained by the Cortes on the 6th of February, 1822.
11. To command the Judges of First Instance to remain
at their posts.
The Constitutional Corporation of Madrid has been
chosen, and is now in full operation. The appointment of
decided Liberals to all the civil magistracy continues en-
tirely under the care of Senor Lopez, the Under Secretary
for the Home Department.

SWITZERLAND.
The Helvetic Diet dissolved itself on Saturday. Five
States had voted for its adjournment ; but their opinion did
not prevail. " The dissolution, in the present circum-
stances," observes the Helvetic, " may be considered as a
proof that no unpleasant occurrence need be apprehended
in Switzerland."

The Helvelie gives the following, as the powers dele-
gated to the Swiss Directory by the Diet, previous to its
dissolution :

" 1. The ordinary Diet of 1836 is closed, after having
gone through all the affairs mentioned in the circular in-
structions ; but, before its dissolution, it gives the Direc-
tory the following instructions :

" 2. With regard to foreign affairs, the Directory will
make it its most serious duty to maintain and defend with
energy the honour, dignity, and independence of the Swiss
Confederation, as is particularly belonging to a free and
neutral state. To this effect, the Directory will exhort the
Cantons to place their contingents, both as to personel and
materiel, upon the footing prescribed by the obligations
they have contracted with the Confederation.
" 3. The Directory will carefully keep up pacific and
friendly relations between the Confederation and Foreign
States, taking for their basis a strict fulfilment of all inter-
nal obligations.

" 4. To obtain these ends, the Directory will take care
to keep up a continued correspondence with the Cantons,
as well as the diplomatic agents of Switzerland abroad, in
order to inform the Cantons constantly of everything which
passes in foreign States that may be particularly interesting
to Switzerland.

"5. In case of any sudden danger from abroad, the Di-
rectory is authorized to call out such troops as it may think
necessary, and provisionally nominate their commanders, in
order that they may be rendered effective. In the mean-
time the Diet shall be convoked, which shall then appoint
the Commander-in-Chief, and the Chief of the General
Staff, and give orders for definitive measures.

" 6. If war breaks out in any of the neighbouring states,
he Diet will be immediately convoked.

" 7. The Directory is charged to watch with all possible
care the internal state of the country. In case auy dis_
turbance arises in any one of the cantons, or if there shall
be any attempt against public order, the Directory will act
with a view to the maintenance of order and the laws, by
sending federal representatives, by warning the cantons to
exercise a strict vigilance, and, in cases of emergency calling
out the troops.

"8. Should any events of a more serious nature take
place, the Directory shall immediately convoke the Diet."
Letters from Milan confirm the news of a political am.
nesty being just granted by the Emperor Ferdinand. But
this measure is not general, as has been stated. It com-
prises only 50 persons, the greater part of whom emigrated
in 1821, after the affair of Piedmont. Among these are ten
who have already died in Spain or Portugal, including M.
Mascheroni, who formed part of the expedition of Torrijos,
and who was shot with the other unfortunate men of that
expedition.
His Excellency Lord Granville arrived at Frankfort on
the 13th inst.
The French papers continue to announce melancholy re-
sults from the late storms, thunder, and lightning.
One of our private letters states, that among the crowd
of refugees from Spain, arrived at Bayonne, was M. de
Miraflores.

" The decision of the Helvetic Diet in the case of the
refugee Conseil is not yet known. The project of the com-
mittee, tending to impeach M. de Montebello, did not ob-
tain in the Diet the necessary majority (12 votes), only ten
cantons and a half having voted for it. Five others referred
the matter to their respective Governments. and among the
latter is the representative of the Radical canton of St. Gall,
whose vote in the affirmative cannot be doubtful. It is con-
sequently probable that the project of the committee will be
adopted.

" We have already stated that the Diet appeared to us
incompetent to decide the question, and if it agreed to the
measure proposed by the committee, it would render M. de
Montebello's recall quite impossible, as our Government
would then have a right to charge Switzerland with having
been guilty of a fault of the same kind as that so violently
reproached to our diplomacy.
" The Directory having submitted to the Diet the docu-
ments on which the act of accusation directed against M. de
Montebello was founded, the public was not a little sur-
prised to find M. Tscharner, President of the Directory,
and deputy for Berne in the Diet, did not reply to the
speech of M. de Chambrier in the defence of M. de Monte-
bello. The latter, it will be recollected, accused the police
of Berne of having gotten up an intrigue against him. M.
Tscharner did not contradict the charge, from which it may
be inferred that the Directory is not so confident as it pre-
tends to be of the truth of its charges against M. de Monte-
bello.

" One of the first Magistrates of Geneva received from
Paris a letter (alluded to in the Federal of the 13th) an-
nouncing that the new Ministry would not recall M. de
Montebello. We do not suppose that the Ministers will
contest the fault committed by our diplomacy in the Swiss
affair, but they think that the blame incurred thereby must
altogether fall on M. Thiers, and not on M. de Monte-
bello, who it seems, literally executed the instructions he
had received from the former Minister of Foreign afftiirs."—
La Paix.

The Helvetic states that the list of foreigners expelled
from Switzerland, as laid by the Directory before the Diet,
amount in number to 136, and contain the names of 22
Bavarians, 13 Italians, 10 Prussians, 10 citizens of Hesse
Darmstadt, 10 of Wurtemburg, 9 of Baden, 8 of Elec-
toral Hesse, 7 of Frankfort, 6 Poles,
5 Hanoverians, 5
Danes from Holstein Scheswig, 4 Saxons, 2 citizens of
Nassau, 1 of Brunswick, and 25 whose countries are un-
known. Among them are 28 ex-students, masters of lan-
guaes, and men of literature, who have received a liberal
education in Germany, and who, for the most part, were
members of academical societies. A few were military
men, and the rest were all artisans. Among the latter
were 9 compositors and printers, 14 shoemakers, 7 lock-
smiths, 4 goldsmiths, 4 joiners, 4 tinmen, and only 2 tailors.
The greater part of the other trades furnished only one or at
most two members, to the society called" Young Germany?'
Extract of a letter of the 11th inst., from Berne :
" The Anti-Radical Association (Sicherheilverein), is re-
cruiting with success in the chief town and principal places

of the canton. It has presented its programme and its
statutes to the central police, which was not able to refuse
it a tolerance which has long been granted to the most se-
ditious associations. It is even suspected that the mode-
rate fraction of the Government, the Tscharner party, does
not look with an evil eye on this first essay at resistance
against the encroachments of Radicalism. The Council of
Federal Representatives that is to be united with the Di-
rectory, to watch over the execution of the conclusion of
August the 23cr, will be composed of six members, deputed
by the cantons of Zurich, Uri, Glaris, Friburcr, Grisons,
and Vaud, placed at the head of the six series determined
by the 9th article of the compact. Five of the States they
represent having voted in the Diet for the conclusin, their
co-operation in its execution will be more conscientious and
more active. At the moment when certain Journals an-
nounced the disgrace and recall of the Duke de Monte-
bello, that ambassador received, as a present from King
Louis Philippe, his portrait, to place in his audience hall."
