FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE:

PARIS, OCT. 25.—The Journal des Debuts, an-
nounces to-day, that according to letters o some
weight, the Porte, always increasing in its pre-
tensions, has demanded of Russia the formal dis-
avowal of the Notes addressed to the Divan by
M. Strogonoff, as well as the restitution of the
fortress occupied by Russia 9n the banks Of .the
Phasis; that, in consequence the Emperor of
Russia, tired of so much haughtiness, " has. de-
clared to the Congress of Verona his intention of
changing entirely the system with regard to
Turkey, and to employ force to compel at length
the barbarous Government of Constantinople to
concession." This news, as the
..iournta des
Debuts remarks, can but be agreeable to the
friends of humanity, and of the Christian. name ;
he might also have added-0 the friends of
morality ; for this result will atieLvd a lesson 'which
ought not to be lost either by Prince or by like
People. While we see the pacific • wall raised
with so much trouble between Turkey and
Russia fall in a moment—while we see the efforts
of diplomacy, kept up for eighteen months with
so much constancy and perseverance, end in a
result entirely contrary to nhat waf proposed,
we cannot forbear recalling this axiom, " That
policy is only morality applied to the relations
of nations." All policy which takes another
course is vicious, and cannot be long successful.
The progress of the negociations with Turkey is
another proof of it.
Diplomacy wished to prevent a war between
the Divan and the Cabinet of St. Petersburg!).
'lt had for doing so an expedient efficacious,
almost certain, conformable to humanity. and
justice, and consequently to sound policy. When
M. De Strogonoff delivered to the Divan the
Note, which he concluded by sayinan," That if
the Porte did not change its system, Russia would
find itself compelled to offer the Greeks assistance
with all Christendom, because she could not give
up her brothers in religion to the mercy 'of blind
fanaticism ;" if the Ambassadors of all the Chris-
tian Powers had confirmed this noble and energetic
declaration, undoubtedly the Divan would have
lowered its pride.. The aspect of all Europe,
animated by zeal for religion and humanity,
ready to avenge its murdered brethren, ready
to inundate the East with a new Crusade
as numerous as those of a former period, and
much more formidable by tactics and discipline,
would hi:ve bent the Ottoman haughtiness; the
presence of an insurmountable danger would
have triumphed over the fanaticism of assassins
and the barbarous obstinacy of the Divan ; the
massacres would have ceased ; the Christian
ve iltleto- the respect
of the Mithomedans ; peace would have been
maintained, not that precarious peace pur-
chased by humiliation and the toleration of 'mils-
sacres, but a solid peace, glorious to the Chris-
tian-ftame, and consolatory to humanity and reli-
gion. Diplomacy wished to put its pretended
skill in the stead of what was required by !roma-
pitb justice, and the honour of the powers wkich
it reltresented. It only succeeded in suspending
the war for an instant, to render it inevitable a
few Months later.—(Le Courier Frangais.)
There_arrived to-day a courier at the Foreign
Office from Verona. It appears from the dis-
patches which he has brought that the opening
of the Congress has been retarded to the 22d.
Their Majesties the Emperor
°and Empress of
Austria, the King of Prussia, 'and the King of
Sardinia, had arrived.—(Quotidienne.)
26.—The Ruche d'Acquitaine an-
nounces that it has procured at Bayonne as sure,
and veracious correspondent, who will hencefor-
ward keep its readers-up with the events. The
extract from the first letter it has published is
conceived in these terms :--

" Bayonne, Oct. 19.
" The llth instant an officer and II horsemen, calling,them-
selves of the Army of the Faith, presented themselve.s before
the village of SecuniVry, occupied by two companies,of the
28th regimeit, and requested to pass two days there. .They
declared that they fled from a considerable Constitutionalparty.
The French officer answered that they could not remain-at Se-
cumbery, and that if they wished to penetrate futthir, they
should previously lay down their arms. This proposition nut
being to the taste of the Spanish cavaliers, they retired, and
resumed the road to Irati.
44 It results from the information I have obtained, as to the
appearance of this little detachment, that although the Consti-
tutionalists have not appeared on the side of Iran, false intelli-
gence to that effect was given to the garrison of the fort.
Whether it was pusillanimity in the commander,. or want of
discipline in the garrison, which thought itself betrayed, all
abandoned the castle on the I lth, while Colonel Arredondo --
was all the while in advance of it. As soon as this Chief learned
the event, he marched on the fort so singularly evacuated, and
occupied it again on the 12th.
44 The 14th, before clay-break, four hundred Constitu-
tionalists, I am assured, attacked and carried, after a-short
fusillade, the Spanish village of Lucaida or Val-Carlos. It
is there that the Army of the Faith had established an hospi-
tal. The Royalists who guarded it, for the most part wounded
and convalescent, retired within the invalids on the French
territory, from which Val-Carlos is only separated. by a
brook. All these
.unfortunates • have been immediately sent
on to St. Jean Pied de Port, where they received the aid of hu-
manity. The soldiers were placed in the barns, and the Officers
in the inns. A superior officer of their nation purchand pro-
visions to feed them all. You may conceive that at the first
discharge of guns, our troops cantoned in the environs of ,Lu-
caida, immediately took arms to maintain the integrity of our
territory, but at noon the Constitutionalists had already eva-
cuated Lucaida. I have reason to believe they tool: the road
to Roncesvalles.
" While I am writing to you, 1 am informed that the report
is generally spread in the town that Lieutenant-GeneralCount
Autichamp yesterday received the order of the organization on
the frontiers of the troops he commands. They will form, it
is said, the first .division of the corps of observation of the
Pyrenees, which is to be composed of three brigades. • The re-
giments
are even mentioned which are to make part of 'it, but
I ant afraid to deceive you by mentioning them : I .shall•con-
tent myself in saying, that there are two regiments-Of light
cavalry, a. regiment of,light infantry, and four regiments of
the line 'of three battalions. There is also to be a superb
squadron of horse artillery, which is passing here'every day.
Several companies of fait artillery—l do not Know how many
batteries—making in the whole about 12,409 persona."
The correspondent of the Indicateur (*other
Bordeaux Journal) gives• a more coucise accouut,

dud a clearer one, •of the events which have
.Massed on the frontiers of Spain.
Cln the 16th, four companies °lithe division of
Aleneral Espinosa received the order to make
thethselves masters of Irati, where 400 insurgents
were entrenched.
Tire 'attack was conducted with prudence, then
'becoming bolder was crowned,, with complete
success. The Constitutionalists, after dislodging
the garrison,• set fire to the fort and completely
destroyed - it.
More than 260 soldiers of the Army of the
Faith, wounded in this affair, have arrived at
Saint .JeansPied-deX.ort, but . the Magistrates
caused them to lay-down their arms before entering
-the French territory.—The Couries of Madrid is
not yet arrived.
• It is stated in the TurityGazette, of,the 17th
of October, that according to very recent letters
from. Venice. scarcely any hopes Were entertained
for the-life of 'the celebrated sculptor Canova.—
At the 'date of these letters he was in the last
extremity, and his medical attendants declared
thatthey could do nothing more for him.
The Abbe de. Pradt, Ex-Archbishop of Malines,
and M.-GUise,• responsible Editor of the Co7lSii-
.. p.dipnnel, have beer:. indicted for an article which
was published in that paper on the 14th inst. en-
titled " Mon Congres," and signed " cle,Pradt."
The Duke tie Croy, Peer of France, died on
the 19th instant, at his seat, the Hermitage, near
Conde ;he was 57 years of age. •
VERONA,p.rv.lB.—The Emperor and Empress
of Austria, and the Kings of Prussia and Sardinia,
arrived here on the 15th inst. amidst the firing of
artillery
,and.the ringing of bells.—The Emperor
of Russia: arrived yesterday, and passed through
the town in the midst of an immense population : in
- the evening the town was illuminated.—The
• opening of. Congress, which was to have taken
plate on • the 18th, appears to be postponed to
the.9.lst, on account of the absence of the English
• Plenipotentiaries, who are not yet arrived.
The 'following are the names of the Members
of .the „ConFres who are now here :
The Prince de Metternich, the Baron de Lebzeltern, the
• Count de. Spiegel, and the Chevalier de Gentz ; the Viscount
de Montmorency, the Baron de Rayneval, and Count de Cara-
man ; Count de Nesselrode, Count Pozzo di Borgo, the Sena-
. for Tatischeff, Count de Mocenigo. Lieut.-General Count
Czernitzcheff, and several Councillors of State and principal
Members of the Chancellerie ; Prince Hardenberg, Count de
Bernstorff,the Prince-de Hatsfeld, and Cardinal Spina.
Verona at this moment exhibits a most brilliant
appearance ; the presence, of the Sovereigns has
drawn hither so much company, that it is difficult
to obtain' lodgings, the price of which is very ex-
•orbitant. One of the Ministers was under the
necessity of paying 4,000 francs per month for a
-.very moderate apartment. The Jews of Lay-
. bath have come to Verona—have monopolized all
the lodgings—let them at their own price to
foreigners,-and even to the Sovereigns themselves;
. so that part of the money spent at Congress will
1:1c1 its way to Laybach.
FRANKFORT, OCT. 21.—M. .Schaell, of Nu-
- remberg, has addressed to the Princes and their
Counsellors, in the name of the, traders and ma-
nufacturers, a memorial on the commercial rela-
tions of Germany. He prays the Sovereigns to
•hasten the negociations of the Congress at Darm-
stadt, to seek to bring them to a decisive result.
He recommends a fair union of all the States. This
pamphlet makes much sensation in Germany.
The author treats Austria and Prussia with very
little delicacy. He knows not why they should
be put out of the league, and not be subjected
to the measures taken against France ; since
Austria and Prussia have created to themselves
European, at the expence of national interests :
the other German States which wish to be more
.national than European, should draw themselves
more closely together, and put themselves in a
'.condition to guarantee mutually their independ-
ence and integrity. This memorial appears con-
. formable to the views which have guided the
• Congress of Darmstadt. The conciliatory pro-
posals made by-,Wirtemb.erg will soon bring, it
is supposed, theses commercial negociations to a
• happy issue.
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.— (FRANKFORT,
- Oar. 19.)—At present the contents are known
of the circular letter addressed by the Court of
Vienna to the Members of the German Confe-
deration, and sent by Prince Metternich before
Ihis departure from Vienna. This diplomatic
communication was only made with the inten-
tion of satisfying the public mind, and particu-
.'larly the minds of the Princes and their Mini-
sters in the States of the third and fourth rank.
—Alarming reports had been spread on the
operations of the future Congress, on the esta-
' blisbments of New Powers in Germany, medi-
ations, &c. The Cabinet of Vienna contradicts
- all these reports, and,give,s in this Note the -for-
malfessuranee, that no change' in the Federal
Constitution of Germany will be proposed at the
Congress of Verona ; that, on the contrary, the
• , . preservation of this system entirely agrees with
the views Of the great Powers ; that if hereafter
- some modifications are found necessary in the Of
ganization of the Germanic. Beal, they
.will be'
carried intoeffect-with the free concurrence of the
fnembers of the Confederation represented at the
Diet at 41,1rankfort, and at all times without the
',•-interveutionof foreign .powers ; that finally, the
integritYof the 'territory of every .German Prince
-is guaranteed bythellely Alliattte.--LThis Note,
very satisfactory for the. Princes, makes no men
tion, it is true, of the -:Getman people. There is
no mention either of the liberal institutions pro-
, • unisedin 1813, 1814, in the'hourof danger, nor
. • of the representative constitutions; promised at
the time of the Congress of Vienna to the States
'which have none, nor of the preiervation of
these constitutions in those States which already,
possess them. The -restraints lately imposed on
'the Press in, Germany, and against which recla-
mations are assiduously made fro'rn all parts, will
these. be.done away? This is not stated in the
Note, but this matter and several others are. Pe-
r. haps comprised under the modifications which
. the Diet of Frankfort will one day have to dis-
coss.—(Couriei. Frangais,)
TOULON; OCT;^ls".—Thefirst permanent count
• • • ,
cil of war of the Bth military division, sitting at
Toulon, Under_ the *Presidence of Count de St..
COlOnel of the 'l2th-regiMent of line, con-
demned yesterday Boyer, serjeant of the Ist
.dregiment 'of line, to .three years' imprisonment

and 150 francs fine, and Mellin., a private of the
same regiment to two years' imprisonment
and 150 francs fine, for having forced two
peasants whom they met on the road from Lam-
besc to St. Cannat, to cry Vive L'Empereur to-
wards the end of May last, when the regiment
was coming heere to garrison. These two soldiers
ere behind theit regiment and alone when they
performed this act of prowess. They were found
guilty unanimously. They have always behaved
ill, while they have served in a regiment which
has always deservedly borne the highest cha-

racter.
ST. PETERSBURG'', OcT. B.—General Bontem-
gos, Brigadier-General in the Polish army, has

ance of the Greeks, has not obtained the sanc-
tion of the Magistrates.
FitowriElts Or MOLD.A.VIA., OCT. s.—The last

lost all their artillery.

Twin. EDITOR—As the paragraph in your Paper
of yesterday, respecting this individual's next visit to London,
contains a direct attack and censure on the Manchester Magis-
trates, altogether void of truth, I trust that, you will state from
what other public Journal it was taken*, as I cannot believe it
to be an original communication to you, who, I recollect, ce'psured
very justly the Magistracy of London for allowing the; Royal
Exchange to be STORMED in the middle of the day, notwith-
standing it was the Mayoralty of AlderUlan WOOD, assisted as
he was by Sir JAMES SHAW.
