FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS, SEPT. 10.—We are ordered to appear
after to-morrow (Thursday) before the Court of
Assize, to answer an accusation of infidelity and
cf bad faith, in the account given by us of a Sit-
ting of this same Court. The more we read the
article charged against us ; the more we are
convinced that the decision of the Court cannot
be against us. We have not reported a single
fact which was not exact, which did not occur
before our own eyes, and which we could not, if
necessary, prove by witnesses the most worthy
of belief. How, we ask, can we be charged
with infidelity in reporting, when we have stated
nothing but what is most strictly true? llow
Dan we be accused of bad faith, when we have
inserted nothing, the truth of which we are not
in a situation most fully to establish ? How can
the. Public Minister support a charge of culpa-
bility upon this point, when we are ourselves
ready, if necessary, to bring forward the strong-
est proof of our innocence ?
Being irreproachable under the charge of infi-
delity, shall we be less so under other imputa-
;ions ? We have again examined our article, and
we do not find in it a single expression which
could give the slightest offence to any one indi-
vidual. Neither the Jury, nor the Magistrates,
nor the Orator of the Public Ministry, can find
in our analysis a word, a single word, in which
we have departed from that obedience due to
their functions ; many will find in it those hon-
ourable testimonies which are due only to truth.
As to the compassion which we have shewn
tin common with all those who have the hearts
of men in their bosoms) for 'tire young victims
who have been capitally condemned, we are far
from disavowing such a sentiment ; and we have
too high an idea of the equity of the Magistrates
called upon to judge us, to fear that they would
wish to make this a crime against us. Complain-
ing of misfortune was never considered to be an
insulting of justice, or a forgetfulness of what
was equally due to decency and to the law; and
s Kings are honoured with the power of extend-
ing mercy to those whom justice has condemned,
we ought well to recollect that those whom jus-
tice has condemned may still merit, not only
pity, but indulgence.
We await without inquietude the decision
which the Court is about to pronounce ; we have
stated the truth ; the Court will be just. It is
zutficient to state, that we have.nothing to fear
horn its decision.—(Le Constßutionizel.)
From our correspondence from Poitiers, it is
to be presumed that the decision of.the,Court of
Assize will be pronounced in the course.of to-
morrow (Wednesday.)
The ordinary courier from Bayonne, of the 3d
-September, brings us the following news on the
state of affairs in Spain
The passage of couriers between Spain and France has
been very frequent on the 2d of September ; modifications are
spoken of with respect to reciprocal communications, and it is
even said that the Lazaret of Behohia will be removed, upon
which .the French troops will abandon the position which they
occupy on the line of the Pyrenees. Thus persons may pass
:Ana repass without being subject to quarantine.
•' Mention is also made of the expected arrival of 24,000
i'f:rtuguese towards the line of the Pyrenees.
The armaments continue at Bayonne. Two companies of
the 23d are about to leave the town in order to occupy Alarrac ;
six batteries of Artillery are establishing at Bayonne, and eight
batteries, have received orders to quit Toulouse, and place them-
selves in that town. A great number of women are occupied
In making up 60,000 cartridges, which it is expected will be
ready in a few days:

" The courier, -Blonde], who left Bayonne, was stopped on
the road to Madrid by the Royalist party ; the dispatches of
which he was the bearer have been burned. He has received a
receipt for them.
" All private letters from Madrid announce as a matter al-
;host certain, that the Bands of the Faith will shortly be driven
tzpotl the frontier.
" The fleet which the Minister of Marine has ordered to be
fitted out and armed, will cruise on the coast of Catalonia for
the dtube purpose of carrying relief to the Constitutional
:troops, and of depriving the factious of all retreat by sea.
" ihe severe prDclaimation of D. SANCHEZ SALVADOR,
the Political Chief of Pampeluna, which imposes upon the
;tither and mother the responsibility of the service of their sons
in the Army of the Faith, until their return, has produced a
considerable desertion from the ranks of the factious. The in-
habitants of the frontier in the neighbourhood of the country
occupied still for a few days by the factious, had for a long time
hesitated as to the part which it would be most safe to take,
but perceiving the arrival of the Constitutional troops in Navarre,
some have retired to their habitations, and others have gone to
;ten the Constitutionalists.
" The Trappist holds a position at Agoiz, and Queseda at
(klieg-aria i • but 2000 Constitutionalists are placed at San
Uueza in their rear ; and 3000 men, commanded by General
ZGPINOSA, are marching against them.
" Colonel GUMMIEST and LE CARME, the Chaplain of his
Party, have been taken prisoners by the party established at
idle Franca. Another party of 500 or 600 men, has been dis-
persed by a single company of the Chasseurs of Seville, under
the command of Captain URBAJN.
it Among the prisoners of the Faith conducted on the 25th of
August, from St. Ander to Corogne, were remarked the Father
Guardian of St. FRANCIS, the God-Father of Queseda, four
Canons, the Judge de Premiere Instance, the Civil Intendant,
&c. &c.

" The Chief of the Band Rossieres has died of his wounds
at Ayerbe."—( Le Contiitutionnel.)

PARIS. SEPT. 10.—Menacing writings have
again been distributed, addressed to those func-
tionaries who have fulfilled the duties which
their situation as Magistrates imposes on them.
The miserable wretches who employ these odious
intrigues -are so blinded by revolutionary rage,
that they.do not see that they may make the
fate of those men more wretched who are lying
under the penalties of the law.—( Quotidienne.)
Amongst the anonymous letters which several
of the Jury and M. de Marchangy daily receive,
and which will become the subject of legal inves-
tigation, there are several which contain extracts
of the minutes recorded at a meeting of a Carbo-
narian Association, which adjudge sentence of
death. In one of these epistles, which is ad-
dressed to the Advocate General, are the follow-
ing passages :
" We are twenty-five citizens who have sworn to take your
life. Poniards, air-pistols, every means, shall be employed
against you. You cannot escape our hands. Defeat our noble
conspiracy if you are able. You will only be taught to know
us by receiving the mortal stab.
" Frenchmen are at length about to prove that they are weary
.4f seven years of despotism.
Article Ist. Drain the last drop of the blood of M •.
" Article 2d. Murder the execrable Woelfel.

" Article 3d. * "."'—(Gazette de Franee,)
The Police has discovered the Printing Office
where these infamous letters were printed, and
several important documents have been seized,
which will lead to the discovery of the principles
in these infernal proceedings.—(Mid.)
FRANKFORT, SEPT. 4.—A Spanish Cabinet
CoUrier from Bayonne, who passed through Paris
and Strasburgh, was at Carlsruhe on the 29th of

August, going in all haste to Vienna with dis-
patches for the Emperor of Austria.
FRANKFORT, SEPT. 6.—His Prussian Majesty
is returning to Berlin from his Tcepliz journey.
The annual review of the Prussian troops will, it
is expected, commence in the beginning of this
month, and will close by the 15th ; and towards
the end of September the King will, it is said,
repair to Vienna, for the purpose of going shortly
after to Italy. The Prince Chancellor de liar-
denberg will also repair to Vienna, after his re-
turn from Pyrmont.
The Emperor of Russia is expected on the
3d of September at Troppau ; and the Emperor
and Empress of Austria are expected on the 2d
of September at Vienna. It appears that the
departure of the two Emperors for Italy will not
take place before the middle of September.
The opening of the Congress of Verona will not
take place before the commencement of October.

During the absence of the Emperor of Russia,
all civil affairs are confided to M. Le Prince
Lapeschin, and the Ministry of War toa General
of Infantry, Count Aracktschejew.
The Secretary of State, Count Capo d'lstrias,
left Petersburgh on the 18th of August for the
Baths of Ems and Carlsbad, from which he will
go in the autumn to the Congress of Verona.

Durin,g the absence of M. the Privy Coun-
cillor and Secretary of State, Count de Nessel-
rode, the direction of the Office for Foreign
Affairs for Russia is confided to M. Disoff, Privy
Councillor and Senator.

The Grand Duke Constantine is now Military
Governor General of all Russian Poland, and it
is reported that the seat of Government will be
removed from Warsaw to Dabno, a more central
position.

COURT OF ASSIZES OF POITIERS.—SEPT. 9.
The defence of all the prisoners is terminated. The Procureur-
General complained to the Court of having been misrepresented
in the Journal conducted by Mr. Catineau. His observations
and the denial of the sentiments imputed to him were ordered
by the Court to he put on the record. M. Drault, who
seems to have excited the indignation of the Court by his
spirited conduct, was repremanded like a school-boy by the
President, for being ten minutes after the hour appointed
for the Court to assemble. Advocates in France seem, like
soldiers, to be well drilled by their commanders, who are the
Judges.—The Procureur.General then replied. He established
the fact of there having been an attempt to overturn the Go.
vernment by arming the citizens against its authorities, and of
a conspiracy, by more than one person concerting such a pro-
ject. He ridiculed the idea of the prisoners desiring to main-
tain the Charter, and therefore regarding their act as not cri-
minal. All means are not equally proper to attain a just end ;
and to take up arms to maintain the Chater, is to take up arms
against the Royal authority. Who would live in a society in
which every citizen constituting himself the judge of the actions
of the Government, may reclaim, with arms in his hands, the
redress of what he may regard as violations of the fundamental
laws ? Our conspirators have boasted of Quiroga, Riego, and
Pepe, and their object was a revolution like that of Naples or
Spain. The Procureur. General then went through the parti- 1
cular facts of the whole case, and refuted with powerful rea-
sonings, the statements advanced in their behalf. He concluded
by thanking the Jury for their great attention, and telling
them that their justice would prepare a complete and national
justice.

General Berton then read his reply, which is not given in
the French Journals. The re't'ies of the Advocates also were
begun, and we may expect to hear of the conclusion of the trial
in a day or two.

'EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM ZANTE, AUG. 2.
" Chourschid,Pacha has really passed the defiles of Ther-
mopylee without opposition, because they were delivered up to
him by Odysseus, who retired to Mount Catavothra with his
troops, a manoeuvre which gives reason to suspect that Chief of
absolute treason, to which he has not fallen a victim, as the
first accounts from the Continent stated. In consequence of
this defection the Ottoman Seraskier advanced to Livadia,
whence he proceeded without meeting with any resistance to
Salona, where he fixed his head-quarters.
" 'When Chourschid Paella arrived at Salona, he found there
12 transports which had already arrived from the Adriatic, and
put troops on board them which landed on the coast of Vasi-
lica (formerly Sycion), where, having assembled to the num-
ber of 10,000, they left that place to advance into Argolis by
the defile of Trete, leaving Corinth on the left. So far all went
on successfully for the infidels ; but when they arrived at Rito
they were suddenly attacked by Colocotroni and Mauro-
Michaelis, who defeated them, and forced them to retreat by
Nernea in the village of St. George, where, it is affirmed, they
are surrounded. •

" While these events were passing in the north of the
Morea, the Turkish fleet landed at Patras some troops, which
advanced to Vostiza (Egina), which they burnt; after which,
being harassed and beaten at the defile, of troupia tis aoias
irenis, they were obliged to retreat to the point from which
they set out. Such are the reverses and successes of the con-
tending parties in the Peleponnesus.
" In the midst of this conflict the Greeks are masters of
Athens, of the defiles of the Isthmus, of the Acro-corinth, of
Naupli, and of all the fortresses in the Peninsula and the
mountains. In this state of things it may be asked, what can
the Turks do ?---:mischief, without doubt ; but as for conquer-
ing the country, that is another matter.
" Mauro-Cordato had arrived at Missolungi on the 26th of
July. The troops of Odysseus who had abandoned him
were disposed about' Parnassus and the mountains of Phocis,
so that Chourschid Pacha was greatly impeded in his commu-
nications.

" The English at present hold out a helping hand to the
Greeks ; and since the departure of Sir Thomas Maitland, it
has been observed that the rigorous measures have ceased with
his presence. At Zante, an asylum has been granted to the
family of Papa-Diamanto-Poulos, Member of the Senate of
Corinth, and to several other persons, who fled from the Con-
tinent at the approach of the Infidels. Sir Frederick Adam,
Governor of Corfu ad iuterim, who is married to a divorced
Greek Lady, gives assistance to the unfortunate. Thus there
is a change of policy on this side ; but unless God assists the
Greeks, it is to be feared that the approaching Congress will
have to deliberate only on ruins and tombs."
