FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PA US, DEC. 3.—Yesterday morning, at eleven
o'clock, the King transacted business with the
Duke of Montmorency, Minister for Foreign

_Affairs.

Yesterday evening an extraordinary courier
-was despatched to Spain from the office of the
Minister for Foreign Affairs. It is believed that
be is the bearer of the resolution of the Congress
on the affairs of the Peninsula.—(Journal de

We are assured that the Duke of Angouleme'
-will set out this week for the departments of the
south, and that a battalion of each of the regi-
ments will be immediately sent to the frontiers.,
The armourer of the King's household is to pre-
pare, within a very short period, the arms des-1
tined for this Prince's suite.—(Quotidienne.)
The Duke of Wellington is expected imme-
diately in Paris.
A Letter from Verona contains an account of
a grand musical party given by the Duke or
Wellington, at which her Imperial and Royal'
highness the Archduchess Maria Louisa was pre.
sent. On the arrival of the Princess, the Duke
went to meet her, gave her his arm, and con-
ducted her into the saloon. This behaviour of
the Archduchess has caused a great sensation
at Verona ; and persons who are fond of indulg-
ing in conjectures, pretend to see in it at least,
an indication of the union which is daily drawing'
closer between the Cabinet of Vienna and that of'
•i
St. James.—(Courier _Francais.)
Yesterday, between four and five o'clock, at
the moment when all the mails were made up,
and ready to depart for their respective destina-
tions, a counter order was received, in pursuance
of which they were unloaded. The despatches
were taken out and carried back to the offices.—
Some time after the mails were sent off in suc-
cession. Several did not depart until after six
o'clock.—(Mid.)
Last week a Commissary of Police ordered the
" keeper of a book-stall in his quarter not to ex-
hibit any longer the works of Voltaire, Rousseau,
Helvetius, Dupuis, &c. The bookseller asked
him to give a written note of the books which
were not to be exhibited, but with this request
• the Comissary refused to comply.
A letter from Bayonne, dated the '27th ult.,
announces that the General of the Faith, O'Don-

nel, has again taken refuge in that town, and that
in the course of the new campaign, which he
undertook a fortnight ago, he did not find ten
men willing to march under his command against
the Constitutional army,—(Constitutionnel.)
It is reported that Quesada is soon to leave
`Paris for Navarre.
A demi-official journal (L'Etoile) contains the
• following paragraph The opposition journals
are to day very angry with Ministers for preserv-
ing silence on the great question of peace or war.
They invoke the principles of representative Go-
vernments, and ask how it can possibly happen
that the public is left in doubt as to the'decision
of Ids Majesty upon this point, at the• risk of
compromising all the interests which are involved
in that determination. We think that the silence
of the Minister is no ground for concluding that
it is his duty, or that he has it in his power to
act otherwise than he has done. Is it not easy to

conceive a political position in which it would be
impossible to affirm any thing ? In fact, if the
resolution which is to be taken depended on the
determination of a neighbouring Government, it
is evident that the question must remain unde-
cided, even supposing the Ministers bad irrevo-
cably wished that the dignity of France, its
honour and its interest, which is that of all Europe,
should be protected against all injury. After
-this simple explanation, the sincerity of which
must be acknowledged by every just and en-
lightened mind, what becomes of all the excla-
mations of the papers in opposition to his Majesty's
'Government 1"

At Laybach, the Sovereigns never took a part
in any of the conferences. This has also been
,the case at Verona. The conferences were car-
ried on between the Ministers of the five great
Powers, namely Prince Metternich, Count Nes-
,selrode, the Duke of Wellington, Count Bern-
storf, and Duke Mathieu Montmorency. Each
of the'se Ministers had previously received his
instructions from his Sovereign.
FRANKEORT, Nov. 25.—A pretty considerable
sum of money was lately sent to the Provincial
Government of Greece ; it was the produce of
'the numerous subscriptions which have been
,made in several cities in the South of Germany.
There is a report in circulation, that the Divan
has transmitted at the same time to the New Im-
perial Internuncio Baron d'Ottenfels, and to Mr.
Chapper, the British Charge d'Affaires, a note
drawn up in very strong terms, in which it re-
quires a positive explanation of the projects the
Sovereigns assembled at the Congress at Verona,
may have with respect to the Ottoman Empire.
This news is of such great importance that it re-
,quires confirmation.
llAlnnuaGif, Nov. 25.—The Extraordinary

Storthing of Norway closed its Session on the
16th of this month. It was closed by the King
- in person, who delivered a long speech, in Which
be did full justice to the spirit of moderation and
patriotism, which had prevailed in their Sittings,
and concluded by declaring himself happy in
being able publicly to testify that the Assembly
had justified his hopes, and fulfilled the expecta-
--Lions of the country.
BRUSSELS, DEC. 2.—The Trader, vhich goes
backwards and forwards between Bristol and
Rotterdam,laden with tin, raisins, &c. and com-
manded by Captain Griffith, was wrecked on the
25th November at the east mouth of the Schelde,
near Zienckzee ; the crew escaped in the long
3 boat. A part of the cargo is also saved.
The official Journal of to-day says, " It
,is certain that the King has not regarded
the remonstrances addressed to his Majesty
by the Lawyers of Ghent, relatiie to the Royal
-Decree of the 26th October last, on the
obligation to speak and write in the National

language at the bar, and in all public official
documents."
FRIBURG, Nov. 9.4.—0ur letters from Mar-
seilles assure us that the 15th of this month was:
fixed for the departure of the corps of Philltelle-
nes, under the command of Kephallos. It con-
sists of 180 to 200 men, Germans, Swiss, and
Greeks, who have almost all of them seen
service, well provided with clothing, arms, Szc.
and by great exertions, in good understanding
with each other, and animated with the most
laudable spirit,though efforts have not been want-
ing to disturb this harmony. 'German officers, who
returned from Greece in the days of terror and
distress, in particular, while performing quaran-
tine in Marseilles, 'have made the most exaggerat-
ed and distorted representations of the state
of Greece, in order 'to hinder the departure
of the armament. It has therefore given great
satisfaction and confidence to the Philhellenes
in Marseilles that Lieut. Dajourdice, who was
sent back to Marseilles by the English Com-
mander at Cerigo, and who, as is well known, had
done important services to the G reeks, joined the
Philhellenes as soon as the quarantine was ex-
pired, and will return with them to Greece.
This is a proof that the Greek cause is not so
desperate as some would represent, and that
Kephallas, the Commander of the expedition,
enjoys and deserves confidence.
TaiEsTE,-Nov. 14.—Letters worthy of credit
`from Corfu, of Oct. 25, and from Dragomistie, of
the end of the same month, give the following
accounts :

•c After the surrenderofSuli, respecting which there are various
opinions, ,it was resolved to send Capt. Warnakiotes and Capt.
Iskos, to Mount Komboli, where Omer Brione was, in order to
have a conference with him. This circumstance gives rise to a re-
port that Warnakiotes had a desireto submit to the Turks, bu t the
latest accounts explain the mattervery differently. Warnakiotes
really went to Omer Brione under that pretext, and had a confer-
enc.?. with him ; but in fact he had a secret commission from
' the chiefs to observe the strength and situation of the enemy,
and take notice of the language that Omer Brione held.—
Having fulfilled the object of his mission, he returned to
his brethren in arms. The strength of our corps in St.
Acarnania is 5000 men, which, favoured by the nature of the
ground, is sufficient to hinder the advance of the enemy.
Omer had, indeed, 12,000 some time ago ; but the disputes be-
tween the Albanians in Epirus have induced many of them
to leave the Pacha and return home. The cause of these dis-
putes is, that some of the Albanians are disposed to recog-
nise Omer as Pacha of Joannina, while the others would pre-
fer the son of the Pacha of Berat, Ibrahim. If the dispute
is not soon settled, many advantages may accrue from it to
the Greeks. In the corps in Acarnania are Maurocordato,
Bozzaris, and Gumel Normann. The most favourable news
continue to be received from the east of Greece, where offen-
sive operations are carried on against the barbarians in the
neighbourhood of Zestuni. Napoli and Corinth are still in
the hands of the Turks, but closely pressed and insbad con-
dition. At Corinth there are 5000 Turks, the remains of
25,000 who entered the Peloponnesus. The Greek flag flies
over the lower pari. cf Napoli, and in the upper fortress (Pa-
limidi) about 5000 Turks of both sexes are shut up, of whom
only 1,500 bear arms. The last attempt of the great Turkish
fleet commanded by the new Capt. Pacha, to relieve the fortress,
having failed, it is hoped that want of provisions must soon
force it to surrender, especially as the Greeks proved on that oc-
casion, that with their slight merchant vessels, they are able even
in the open sea, to oppose a valiant and successful resistance to
the combined Turkish, Egyptian,. and African naval force. It
is, however, with regret, we learn, that Merchantmen bearing
the flag of one of the first continental powers, have been
freighted at Smyrna by the Turks, and laden with provisions
and ammunition, to be convoyed by ships of war, of the
same power into the harbour of Napoli ; but this last circum-
stance cannot be positively affirmed. For some time, it has been
observed, that the English Government has adopted a different
system towards the Greeks, in sommneasure opposed to that
they before followed, and it is even affirmed that the Greeks
have received, indirectly, support from that quarter. The Mem-
bers of the Greek Senate intended to fix their residence for a time
in Tripoliza, where several of them have already arrived."—
(Allgerncine Zeitung.)

INTELLIGENCE froze the SPANISH FRONTIERS.
The Journal de Toulouse, of the 27th Novem
ber, contains the following letter from Puycerda,
dated the 23d :—" In my last I informed you
that letters which reached here on the 19th stated,
that Milans had made a sortie from Vich, and
advanced to Touronlou, where he had an engage-
ment, after which he was compelled to return in-
to the town. The last circumstance is incorrect :
General Milans did not return to Vich, but, on
the contrary, continued his march. He arrived
at St. Pierre de Touronlou, and having met with
some resistance at that point, he set fire to the
village, and afterwards directed his march upon
La Marchande, a place about four leagues from
Itipoli, at which he arrived on the 21st. His
intentions are now very well known; he has
marched upon Cerdagne by the valley of Ribes.
We may therefore shortly expect this part of the
country to become the theatre of war, if, as is
asserted, it be true that Baron d'Eroles, who has
proceeded from Seo d'Urgel to Llivia, is concen-
trating his forces at that town as well as Puy-
cerda, with the intention of defending himself.
In the mean time the most distinguished persons
in ..Catalonia are fleeing from their homes to take
refuge in France. It is certain that Romagosa
is invested in the fortress of Seo ; he has sworn
to bury himself under its ruins rather than sur-
render. He has only a few faithful soldiers under
him ; if they continue firm in their resolution,
they may protract their resistance to a distant
period."
- The Echo du Midi, of the 27th of November,
says—Baron d'Eroles is at the head of his
troops at the bridge of Bar, three hours'
march from Seo, on the road from Llivia to
Cerdagne. Mina is in the plain of Urgel, at
some distance from the fortress. The town has
been abandoned by the inhabitants. Mina has
issued a proclamation, in which he calls upon
the French troops to act in support of liberty.—
Letters from St. Gaudens state, that many Spa-
nigh officers proceed from thence daily, in order
to •join the army of Navarre. Baron d'Eroles
was at Urgel on the 20th. The Marquis Mata-
florida wrote from Puycerda on the 21st. On
the 23d of November the head-quarters were at
Puebla del Seguro.
PERPIGNAN, Nov. 24.—We received intelli-
gence last night that Baron d'Eroles, after 'having

been defeated in many engagements, bad succeed-
ed in joining the Regency at Llivia with 12 men
only. It is stated this evening that all the mem-
bers of the Regency have quitted Spain, and
are now at Estawar, a little village on the French
territory. A considerable number of troops
and refugees having assembled at this village,
lodgings have become scarce, and M. de Cadon-
dal, the Colonel of the 26th regiment of French
infantry, found it necessary to allow the Baron
d'Eroles, Commander-in-Chief of the Spanish
insurgents, to occupy a part of his‘ bed. The
Army of the Faith now consists only of five or six
hundred men, who are concentrated at Llivia. It
is said that Count Curial, who is on the frontiers,
and Field-Marshals -Masserot and Vence, have pro-
hibited the constitutional army from proceeding
to that village. The road which leads to it is
neutral ground, .and the inhabitants fear that the
Spaish troops, in their eagerness to clear their ter-
ritory of the few remaining insurgents, might not
pay sufficient regard to this circumstance ; anti
that consequently a conflict might take place.
The rest of Catalonia is perfectly tranquil. The
miserable creatures who have been seduced by
the rebels are returning to their homes, and the
soldiers are hastening to range themselves under
the Constitutional banners. A great number of
monks and friars continue to arrive daily. It is
to be hoped that tranquillity will not be again
disturbed in Catalonia.

CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.

On the Royal Exchange here the opinions
respecting the probability of a war betwixt France and Spain
continue to vary, in proportion as the interests of individuals
are concerned. The great fund proprietors still assert that hos-
tilities are impossible. The Merchants, however, not interested
in either Foreign or British Funds, view the dispute in a very
different light. They have no difficulty in seeing a war of ag-
gression and of religious fanaticism about to desolate the na-
tions of Europe. It is the last desperate effort of tyranny and
bigotry to beat down freedom and civilization in every nation.
A religious crusade against the liberties of Spain, if successful,
must involve England in another war for her existence itself.
France victorious in Spain, and Russia in possession of
Western Turkey, must produce plenty of anti-commercial
Decrees and non-intercourse Regulations, until this Holy
Alliance finds itself able to dictate a Constitution to the British
Empire itself. Indeed the rulers of the ocean are already
partly afloat. The Gloucester sailed yesterday from Chatham
for the Nore, and five sail of battle ships were this day un-
covered, and are getting ready for sea with all dispatch.
There are plenty of seamen to conduct them to victory, and
present vigour may save years of bloodshed, and even avert a
partial war itself.
In the English funds very little business has been done, and
the gloom which hangs over them daily increases.

The prices of the French Rentes, Russian, Austrian, Prussian,
and Neapolitan Stocks, are rather steady, but the transactions
in them are not numerous. The Spanish arc extremely de-
pressed. The Bonds of 1821 were sold at 52 in the morning,
fell to 48i—indeed there was a desire to sell them at what could
be got for them : They afterwards, however, recovered so far
as to close at 49.
An immense deal of business was this day done in Colom-
bian Bonds, and the variation in the day's sales has been
fully thirteen per Cent. It is most cruel, by false intelli-
gence, thus to destroy the property of individuals. Yester-
day these bonds fell to 64, in consequence of a kind of
Circular received from Santa Fd Bogota, that the Govern-
ment had not acknowledged their validity ; and the same
rumour reduced them this day to 62. Most fortunately,
however, a highly respectable Gentleman received a letter
from his Correspondent in Jamaica, stating that the Co-
lombian Government had paid him a year's interest in one of
the Ten per Cent. Debentures, and that he was referred to M.
ZEA, in England, for the payment of the Debenture itself, as
that' Gentleman bad contracted a Loan for that purpose.—
This letter farther states that M. RAVEN GA was coming to
England to consolidate their Loan, and to arrange all their
affairs, &c. The letter from Santa F 6 Bogota is dated on the
12th of August, and is enclosed in one from Jamaica, and
ought to ptit every doubt at rest regarding the validity of this
Contract. The Bonds here afterwards advanced rapidly, leav-
ing off at 75.
By the way of Holland letters have been received from St.
Petersburgh, dated on the 9th November. There was nothing,
new in politics. About 2,000 tons of Hemp had been pur-
chased on speculation for next year's shipment, at from 82 to
85 R., and there were no more sellers at this price ; 500 casks
of Yellow Tallow had been bought at 110 R., and 200 casks of
Soap Tallow at 88 R. The Exchange on London was 9i. The
weather very severe, and the wind at N.W. No vessels had
arrived, and the chance of an advance here in Hemp and Tal-
low is increased by this circumstance.
There is little addition to what was known yesterday, either
in politics or trade— the operations of the latter depending en,
tirelY on the question of peace or a general war.—(llforning
Chronicle.)

GAMESTERS.-At the Middlesex Sessions, yes-
terday, John de Bergne, J. Jackson, John Marc,
Louis Lane, James Thomas, Edward Roberts,
and ten others, who had been convicted as
rogues and vagabonds by THOMAS HALLS, Esq.,
one of the Bow-street Magistrates, for having
been found unlawfully gaming on the 22d
October, at the house No. 33, Pall-Mall, ap-
pealed against the conviction. The grounds of
appeal were, an informality in the conviction, and
the absence of proof that they were actually
found " playing or betting when taken by the
officers, as required by the Act.—The Court sus-
tained the latter objection, and quashed the con-
viction. The whole of the appellants therefore
will be set at liberty.

We stated some time ago, that a petition to his
MAJESTY, •praying for a mitigation of the punish-
ment of transportation awarded against the three
lads from Sutherlandshire at the last Circuit-
Court, for an assault, was in course of being
transmitted to the Secretary of State for the
Home Department. It is with peculiar plea-
sure we have now to inform our readers, that
the petition and relative documents were taken
charge of and forwarded by Earl Cower, and that
the sentence has been commuted to imprisonment
for one year, with a proviso, that on the expira-
tion of that period the prisoners find security
to the satisfaction of the Sheriff of Sutherland,
under a penalty of 301. each, to keep the peace
for three years. The prisoners were removed
to the hulks before the fate of their application
was determined, but they will, it is presumed,
be conveyed back to the jail of Dornoch. It
will be remembered that Alexander M'Donald,
convicted with these three men, was sentenced to
a year's imprisonment in the jail of Dornoch. In
a letter which Mr. PEEL addressed to Lord
GOWER, he states, that although no application
is made 'to that effect, he will feel himself war-
ranted to recommend M'Donald to his MAJESTY
for a commutation of his sentence to imprison-
ment for six months.—(lnverness Courier.)
