FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS, SEPT. 17.—There this morning ap-
peared in the shops of the dealers in novelties
a pamphlet of 24 pages, which is sought after
with the greatest avidity : it is entitled " A Let-
ter to M. the Procureur General do la Cour
Royale de Poitiers," by M. Benjamin Constant.
We learn this evening, that this production
has just been seized in the booksellers' shops at
the Valais Royal.
At eight o'clock yesterday evening, M. Me-
Tithou and' M. Legouix repaired to the prison .of
the Bicetre, for the .purpose of inducing the four
I.lb-officers, who were condemned to death for
taking phrt in the affair of Laßochelle,to ithdraw
their resistance to an appeal to the Court of Cas-
sation ; 'their solicitations have not been in vain.
'['he condetimed have consented to withdraw their
yeeistance to that appeal.

. These young soldiers continue to preserve the
same calmness and gaiety which they displayed
m the moment of their captivity. It appears,
that during their imprisonment they have been
treated with kindness and humanity.
_

It is stated, that M. de Bulgari,- Russian Mi-
Disco!. in Spain, is also to repair to the Congress
-.1.t Verona.

We have just received several letters from
Bayonne.; the•first states as follows :
" Quesadailas ,been attacked in the environs
of Jaca (on the west side of the mountains of
"Jaca,) by the Constitutional troops. He has
-been completely -beaten and put in disorder.
The Soldiers of the Faith/• ashamed of being
beaten by an'inferior 'number of men, cried out,
-‘ Treason !' In despair they threw themselves
upon'Quesada, and caused him to be conducted
:-:(hands and feet tied,) by a detachment of
.150
,men, to their camp at Iraty, for the purpose of
-being •there -tried by a Military Commission.
.Some letters go so far as to say that he has been
hanged by that superstitieus.population."
Another letter, dated from Oloron, 10th Sept.
,exPresses itself as follows
" The- courier from Jaca, who has arrived this
morning, .has brought to several mercantile houses
.the news that the Army of the Faith had been
..completely beaten in the environs of Huesca,
on the other side of the mountains of Jaca. There
„have-been a great number of killed, four pieces
,of cannon taken, and a great number of muskets
and sabres were thrown away, in order that the
.defeated might more speedily effect their escape :
.the gold' spectacles of General Quesada, the
..correspondence between him and Eguia, and even
the uniform .of the Trappist, were found. The
Constitutionalists amounted to about 1,000, calm
...and resolute men ; the undisciplined and fanati-
..cal Army.of the Faith amounted to 2,400 men.
,Tbe fugitives are vigorously pursued ; they have
-retired towards Barbastro (beyond Huesca,) for
t purpose of throwing. themselves into Catalonia,
I,tit it is nat thought that they can succeed in
doing so." _ _

A7letter from St. Jean Pied de Port, dated
tlit. 11th, announces," that it was at Sanguessa,
quite close to Jaca, that the factious had been,
completely beaten, Sixty mules, laden with
.ammunition, have been taken. On the following
morning the Constitutionalists gained a much
pore considerable advantage over the body who
,moved towards Jaca. The soldiers of the Army
Dr the Faith, refusing to believe in the cowardice
01 their Chiefs, cried out " treason." More
4han one thousand persons joined the ranks of
r.e Constitutionalists, and several others retired
.to their•private habitations. Those who remained
.of themselves arrested Quesada, and conducted
him, his hands and feet tied, to the Fort of .Iraty,
where he arrived on last Sunday night, in order
to be immediately tried."
These letters add, that " -General Espinosa
-arrived at Pampeluna, on the 6th of September,.
,„preceded by a division of -6000 or 6000 excellent
,tr•oops, and that he intended, without delay, to
,march against the factious who might still be
:found in the Province. The roads of Spain are
.covered in every direction with troops, who are
marching towards the frontier. The movement
of troops continues on the French frontier. It is
-.stated that a camp of 40,000 men is about to be
formed, and it is expected that 15,000 men will

',arrive at Bayonne on the 22d of this month.—
,Provisions and ammunition have been provided
• for a numerous army, which is completing with
,the greatest activity."—(Le Constitutionnel.)
The.responsible Editor of the Constitutionnel
-has been to-day cited before M. the Judge of
justruction, Beleyme, and has undergone an
Nsintersogatory on the subject of the account pub-
lished of the debates on the affair at Rochelle,
for which he has already been condemned at the
Conrt of Assize. Thus we have, on the one
hand, been subjected to the operation of a special
..and exceptionable Legislation, while on the other
we have had a second proceeding, instituted,
against us in the ordinary form upon the same
cha
.FiROM TIIE FRONTIERS, OF SPAIN.—We have
received •the following lette'is from Bayonne, but
,do not pretend to explain the contradictory re-
ports they contain :
" SEPT. 10.—The Constitutionalists of Gui-
•pnzcoa are harassed by the Royalists. The
,Provincial Deputation of St. Sebastian has pub-
lished anurrit which indicates the towns of Ber-

gara,.Eybar, Villa Franca, Tolosa, and St. Se-
bastian, as places of refuge for the youth who
.are menaced with being taken for the service of
the Army of the Faith, where they will receive
au indemnity of three reals per day. 'We are
,assured that Quesada is about to proceed to Ca-
talonia.

SErr. 11.—Quesada is still in command of
'the division of Navarre, and his services in fa-
vour of the Royal cause have gained him the
'praise and confidence of the troops he commands.
It ought not to be forgotten that this General
:entered Spain on the 25th of June with about

300 men, and that he has now more than 5,000
Ainder his' orders, of which two-thirds are com-
pletely clothed, armed, and 'disciplined, as also
.300 cavalry. To-day, it is reported, that he has
„given his resignation, and that General O'Don-

net, who is at Bayonne, is to take the command
of the division of Navarre, which increases every

day."

" SEPT. 12. Letters from Saint Jean Pied-de-
Port bring the unexpected information that the
army of Quesada mas attacked and defeated by
the Constitutional troops at Viescas to the east
of Jaca. The defeat is said to be complete, and

the royalist troops, believing they were, be-,
trayed by the unfortunate General, have conduct-
ed him hound to the fortified post of Irati, where
he is to be tried. But other letters say that the
combat took place at Sanguesca in Navarre ; this
difference makes the event doubtful. The liberals
maintain that there have been two battles, and
that it was Juanito who was beat at Sanguesca."
