FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE..

PARIS, SEPT. 4.—Yesterday we mentioned,
:that the persons condemned for the affair of Bel-
fort had been removed to Ensisheim; our corre-
spondent further informe.us, that at the moment
when the chains were put on the neck of the
-Colonel. the Mareektil des Logis of the Gendarmes
.said to him, " Sir, 1 beg your pardon, but I am
:only executing the orders of my superior."—
When the Colonel left the -prison to go into the
.carriage, the soldiers formed into 1. line, pre-
•sented their arms, and many of them appeared
affected. "My children," said the Colonel,lift-
ing his chains, " behold my reward for 20 years'
service, and for having shed my blood for
/my

country."
The persons who are acquainted with the
,calmness of the prisoners, and particularly with
the Colonel's habitual mildness, were astonished
4o see chains on his neck, when he was only con-
AleFnned to Correctional. Penalties (peine correc-
tionnelle.) Several other precautions were also
iaken—a detachment of Gendarmes preceded
-lhe prisoners; they were accompanied hy eight,
and the carriage in which they went, was closely
.shut,up.
tt is said that -the superior authorities have
-expressed their displeasure at the unnecessary
rigour which has been used towards the Colonel
and his companions in misfortune.
Letters from Trieste of the, Oth announce,
that the Turks have taken Corinth, and have be-
headed all the Senators; and among them Prince
iCantacuzene. This news appears doubtful, for
it is certain that Cautacuzene has been these six
weeks at Dresden.

-----
For some days past, says our Correspondent at
Frankfort, commercial letters from Vienna speak
yositively of a new loan for Austria. On the 10th
August, the report on the exchange at Frankfort
was, that negociations were already begun, and
that several rich bankers had made their pro.
-posals. The Austrian Minister of Finance, M.
Stadion, will not have recourse to a loan without
.some pressing necessity. In the present state of
.the country, there seems no motive for this mea.
--sure, and only the future therefore can inform us
..for what purpose it is adopted.—(Constitutionne/.)
On August 31, M. Boyer d'Argenson, Alem-
:ber of the Chamber of Deputies, arrived at Calais
;from Englaud, where he had been' since last
January.—(Gazette de France.)
The Journal of Naples: contains the following
Ordinance of the Minister of Police :
" The frequency of certain disobediences and crimes which
are daily committed in this large and populous city, by men
-who seek to profit by the disorders they excite, have induced
us to take the most efficacious and active measures as the result
of those police regulations which we have presented to his
Majesty.
" 1j e have thought proper, therefore, to nominate a com-
mission composed of three Commissioners of Police, to punish
all those persons who by their actions or their words, by re-
proaches or hisses, endeavour 'to excite disorder in the streets,
• cabarets, coffee-houses, and other places of meeting, with a
:certain number of strokes with a stick not exceeding one hun-
dred. This measure applies equally
.to those persons who
-throw stones; besides the bastonado, imprisonment, not ex-
ceeding three Months, may be added. •
" The Commissioner is to decide by viva voce evidence, con-
tenting itself with hearing the defence of the accused.
" Naples, Aug. 5, 1322.
-" The Secretary of State Minister of Police
General CLARY."

This General is an Austrian, to whom the King or Naples
has recently confided the administration of the police.
On the 14th August, the Ordinance was put in execution.
RaiTaelo de Caro, accused of throwing stones at Pascal Taglia-
tletelo, was condemned by the Commission of the Police to fifty
=blows with a stick, and two months imprisonment. The first
part of the punishment was inflicted on the morning of the
•14th.
M. Poulet (the son), printer and publisher, was arrested, this
morning, at the moment that he was setting off for the coun-
try. He had been condemned to six months imprisonment, and
-a brie of 3,000 francs, as the author of a seditious song.

The news ..of the death of the Marquess of

very much.

The Emperor Alexander must have heard of
the catastrophe of Jassy on his journey. 'We are
assured •that ail •the 'Boyards who had entered
wthat tiwn were massacred, and it -is believed that
this event is of •such a nature as to cause some
Jmodificationsiin the policy of Russia.
It is said that the Porte has been invited to

SUESARVA, FRONTIMS OF MOLDAVIA, AV0.12.
Janissaries were all zone, and only 5,000

Turks left to occupy the whole of Moldavia,—
The new Prince is -the Boyard, John Stourza,
who in his new capacity has written to the fugi-
tive Boyards, but in vain, announcing his depar-
ture from Constantinople for his residence. Ile is,
expected at Jassy every day.
It sill be recolleded that the journey of a
new Prince fforn Constantinople to Jassy is a
species of caravan ; tf►e investiture it is said will
take place at Bucharest, where John Stourza is
expected to arrive with the new Prince of Wal-
lachia. We are in daily expectation of news
relative to this circumstance.

AUG. 12, Five o'clock in the evening.—Tran-
quillity was resuming its benevolent features ;
travellers and caravans, of merchandize were
again entering Moldavia; and though the greater
part of the Boyards thought it prudent to wait,
several of them had recently returned to Jassy.
An extraordinary courier brings us the following
news : -

" All at once the Janissaries re-appear----new
miseries are expected—terror prevails. On the
10th August, when the quietness of the coming
night seemed to cover the town, in the instant
cries and groans are heard, and the whole city
appears on fire. Pillage and horrors of every
kind are practised ;in every part. lam quite
incapable of giving you a faithful picture of the
miseries of this unhappr torwn, of which in a few
hours there will only be the ruins remaining."
At the departure of the courier the number of
houses destroyed by the fire was supposed, to
amount to 20,000. The rest, it is thought, will
meet the same fate. This news is unfortunately
official, and the details are expected every mo-
ment.- In the mean time many conjectures are
afloat on this extraordinary, and deplorable ca-
tastrophe.—(Journal des Debuts.)

CQNSPIRACY OF.THQUARS AND SAUMUR.

CONTINUATION OF THE SITTING OF SEPTEMBER 3.
Bouchon, Es-Captain of the .Ecole d'Eguitatirm of Sau-
mur;received,;on February 24, au order to march with a few
young men against the rebels. Beyond the bridge of Fouchard,
he heard that a General was advancing on the town. shortly
afterwards lie was hailed, and on demanding what was wanted,
was answered, we require liberty. He recognised the voice to
be that of Delon. General Berton then came up on horseback,
and told him that he commanded the advanced guard of an army
of 20,000 men, and that all resistance was in vain. M. Bo'ichon
refused to submit to his authority, and General Berton agreed
to remain at the bridge of Fouchard to see the Magistrates of
the town: He remained there two hours with his troop, and
then retreated.

M. :Maupassan, the Mayor of Saumur, was heard with con-
siderable interest and religious attention. He heard reports of
the movement at Thouars on the evening of the 23d, but the
news was not credited by other persons. On its being confirm-
ed on the following day, he collected the gendarmes and march..
ed to the bridge of Fouchard.' There he met Gen. Berton, who
told him he had seen hith at Paris. 1 have always knoWn you-for
a had man, replied the witness. What do you want here? I wish
to enter Saumur. Have you an order ? No. Then I
!shall
listen to nothing ; you-shall not, enter the town. ! Could one not
speak to you ? As this question was asked, the witness felt
a something touch his breast, and discovered that it was a
musket. Have you been a soldier ? he inquired of the person
with the musket ? Yes. Then you ought to know that unarmed
individuals are not assassinated. He then explained to the men
with Berton, that they were deceived, and would see to-morrow
the precipice on which they stood. lie exacted of Berton that he
would advance:no further than the bridge. The deliberations d
the other Magistrates were in the mean time continued, and at
eleven o'clock the General, tired of waiting, declared that if the
Mayor andhis troops did not retire, he would charge them. At
this the Mayor retreated into the town. Berton arrived at the
bridge towards eight o'clock, barricaded it, and only retired, at
midnight when he was assured he would be attacked. He
treated the Mayor with politeness and care. On the Mayor
being asked his opinion of Cane, one of the accused, and a
surgeon inhabiting Saumur, he said, that CafT4 enjoyed the
esteem of all ; he knew him, he belonged to a respectable family,
and was remarkable for his benevolence, He visited the poor
without recompexice, and even helped them with his purse. In
passing one day befhre the prison -of Saumur, I saw a child
waiting and crying till the door should be opened. I inquired i
what was the matter with him, and he said I' want to, see my
friend and benefactor, M. Caffe.
Mr. Perrault, Commandant of the National Guard of Sau-
mur, confirmed the testimony of the Mayor, as to the arrival of
Berton, and the bridge being put into a state of defence.
M. Iruguyon confirmed the . foregoing testimony, and de-
clared that all the troops conducted themselves with propriety,
and had fulfilled their duty.
M. Guimand deposed tp Caffe having re-conducted M. Ben-
jamin Constant, when he left Saumur, contrary to the orders of
the Mayor.
Another witness proved that the political sentiments. of the
people were exalted, and altered after that deputy had been
there. 1

No other evidence of importance was given, up to the close
of the sitting, when 129 witnesses had been heard.

SITTING OF SEPTEMBER 4.

This sitting was occupied in re-examining several witnesses,
as to trifling omissions or points which needed confirmation.—
At the house of Cafe it appears Berton passed by the name of
Joliv et.

Some of the Jurymen who had been summoned by General
Berton in his behalf, declared they had nothing to say. • A
discussion then ensued between the Procureur-General and M.
Drank as to the propriety of these men having been sum-
moned, when, on the motion of the former, the summons was
declared fraudulent, and made with an intention of vitiating the
proceedings.
The whole of the sitting was occupied with these matters pre-
liminary to the piisoners 'beginning their' defence. • .
