FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Moniteur of Feb. 11.)
PARIS, FEB. 10.—An evening journal announces that
the Belgic deputation has to-day been officially received
by the King; the details which it gives on the subject al-
together are fictitious, since the fact itself has no founda-
tion whatever; the official reception of the Belgic depu-
ties has not yet taken place.
The official part of the Moniteur contains a report to
the King on the re-organization of the Artillery of the
National Guard of Paris, and a Royal ordinance founded
on the report. There is to be one company in each of
the twelve arrondissements of Paris, each company to be
attached to the legion of infantry belonging to the arron-
dissement. Each company to consist of three officers and
62 subalterns and privates; the staff of the legion to
consist of 22 officers.
Several journals have for some days past complained of
the treatment which persons confined for political offences
suffer in the prisons of Paris. Facts have been alleged,
and the Prefect of Police resolved to examine in person
whether the intentions of the authorities had been neglected
with regard to any of them.
After some details of the treatment which they really do
experience, the Minister continues :—." The Prefect of
Police, who sees in the interest taken by the public a
guarantee for the continuation of the ameliorations intro-
duced into the management of the prisons, has addressed
the following letters to the Editors of the Revolution, the
Gazette de France, the Tribune, the Quotidienne, the
Avenir, the National, the Constitutionnel, and the
Courrier :
" Sir,—You have thought proper to speak to the
public of the rigour with which you suppose that persons
accused or condemned on account of political offences are
treated in the prisons of Paris. lam convinced that you
have been led into an error; and to enable you to judge
with your own eyes, I have the honour to inform you that
on exhibiting this note you will be admitted to the prisons
of La Force, La Conciergerie, and St. Pe:awe, and en-
abled to obtain from the persons themselves, of whom you
have spoken, all the information that you may think fit."
M. de Latour Maubourg, Ambassador from his Majesty
the King of the French to the Holy See, has given, at
Rome, a diplomatic ball, to which were invited above
1,000 persons of the Roman nobility, all the foreigners
of distinction, and the citizens of the highest classes. It is
the first ball during the conclave.
Letters from Marseilles, of the 4th of February, say
that the Bey of Titteri had set out for Paris by the dili-
gence : his suite is composed of but a small number of
persons.

(From the Gazette de France, dated Saturday, Feb. 12.)
PARIS, FEB. 11.—The solemn audience of the Belgian
Deputation is announced for to-day or to-morrow.
It is from the elevation of his throne that the King will
frankly announce to Belgium a refusal which the Minis-
ter, from the elevation of his policy, had not the courage
to avow to France.

It is said the Government will present to-day to the
Chambers the Budget for 1831.

(From the Journal des Debate.)
ELECTION OF THE POPE.

Cardinal Mauro Cappellari was elected Pope on the Ist
of February, and he is now seated on the Pontifical Throne,
under the name of Gregory 16th. Born at Belluria, the
18th of September, 1765, his age, and his health, which
he has hitherto enjoyed, renders him still young for the
Tara, and promises him a much longer reign than that
of his two predecessors.
Cardinal Cappellari distinguished himself in his order
by ecclesiastical science, and his profound knowledge of
ancient and modern oriental languages. His reputation
fur doctrine and regularity spread beyond the Cloister, and
the general esteem which surrounded his character had
secured to this modest Minister, long before he was called
to the Sacred College, respect equal to that paid the Princes
of the Church. His nomination in 1826, by Leo the 12th,
was considered reparation for the forgetfulness of the pre-
ceding reign. He was placed by that Pontiff at the head
of the vast and important administration of the Propa-
ganda, to which lie specifically devoted his African and
Asiatic erudition. The talents he displayed confirmed the
high reputation he had acquired for capacity.
In the conclave of 1828, Cardinal Cappellari was one
of the Cardinals most respected from without, and most
violently opposed within, by the party called Austrian.
In the conclave of that year, Cardinal Pacca, supported by
the pal ty of Cardinal Albani, obtained at the last ballot
but one 19 votes, and Cardinal Cappellari 25 ; but at the
last ballot, six or seven votes having escaped the influence
of Cardinal Albani, Cardinal Cappellari obtained the ma-
jority. It is not probable, then, that that party can claim
the honour of having placed him on the throne in 1831.
The election of Cardinal Cappellari will he received, we
are assured, with general approbation at Rome and Italy.
provided the disposition for a revolution do not turn the
attention of the public from a decision which, in calmer
times, would he highly interesting.
The French Ambassador, M. de Latiiur Maubourg, has
been admitted to the presence of his Holiness, Gregory the
Sixteenth, who received him with extreme kindness.
The Holy Father professed his attachment to France, and
King Louis Philippe.

POLISH MANIFESTO.
M. Constantine Wolicky has addressed the following
letter to all the newspapers:—
, "I am come to France in the name of the Government
and people of Poland, to present to the Government and
people of France the true state of affairs, in case the King
of Poland was to refuse to listen to our just prayers, and
to prefer an appeal to arms.
" In that case only was I authorized to ask the assist-
ance of a nation with which we have been so long con-
nected by so many recollections—by so much glory and
misfortune. Europe has witnessed the moderation with
which the Poles, risen up en masse, have conducted them-
selves towards the Grand Duke Cesarewitch and his sol-
diers, who might have been made prisoners at the first sig-
nal, and the eagerness with which we sent to the King a
deputation charged to ask only for the execution of the
rights granted, and of the promises made by the Emperor
Alexander, in the true interest of his empire.
" The proclamation of King Nicholas to the Poles, and
the Manifesto of the Emperor to the Ru,sians, show suf-
ficiently how our conduct and our prayers have been ap-
preciated, and what fate was destined to us.
" Then I thought the moment was arrived to fulfil my
mission. I have done so, and do not doubt but that the
wisdom of the French Government will point out to
it the most proper means of being useful to our cause.
" When it is recollected that under Charles X. the
cause of the Greeks was protected, it is not to be supposed
that the French Government, after a popular revolution,
the most glorious, can abandon its ally the most devoted, the
most faithful. No, assuredly ; for it is not here a question
of pure sympathy, nor is the interest of Poland alone con-
cerned, but so is also that of France, and of the civilized
world. &sides, it is sufficient to turn our eyes on the
worthy Members of the Chamber of Deputies, who plead
with such energy and feeling the cause of the oppressed ;
it is sufficient to look at the army, at the National Guard,
and at the whole population, to be convinced of the extent
to which public opinion is in our favour, and how sure it
is that our case is inseparable from that of France.
" Yes, I shall convey to my fellow-citizens the as-
surance that nothing can repress the generous feeling
manifested throughout France in favour of our unfortunate
country.

" After the Proclamation of Marshal Diebitsch, what
have the Poles to do, but to conquer or to die with ho-
nour? . . . Perhaps, all will perish in the terrible
combats which are about to ensue; but they will bear
with them to their tombs the conviction that heroic
France will revenge them, and that she will become the
object of the blessings of their children, as she was always
for themselves an object of admiration, attachment, and
devotion. " CONSTANTINE WOLICKI."

INSURRECTION IN ITALY.
In Italy an insurrectionary movement of a very serious
nature has broken out an once in different pl ices. Bo-
logna, an enlightened and influential city, is particularly
cited ; the insurrectionary movement was effected there
without almost any resistance being offered. The same,
it would appear, was the case at Reggio. The signal has
been given at Modena; on the evening of the sth, while
the Grand Duke was at the play, a courageous patriot, AL
Menotti, mounted the theatre, with a tri-coloured flag in
his hand, exclaiming, " Long live Liberty ! " At once
the whale population rose up in arms. When the courier
left they were fighting in the streets against the troop
forming the garrison of the place, and every thing seemed
to presage success for the national party.
This is the fruit of the policy of the Holy Alliance, and
of the treaties of Vienna. By placing the people in an
unnatural situation, by wounding their rights, their sym-
pathies, their habits, they have prepared revolutions ;
they reap the fruits of what they have sown,
and the bar
vest will be abundant. It was easy to foresee the come-
pence, and perhaps to avoid it ; but what are the counsels
of wisdom before the thirst of dominion ? Europe is march-
ing towards its new destinies; and scarcely do the Minis•
ters of the Kings perc,,ive the movement.

We learn this evening, by a private correspondence,
that a revolt of a rather serious nature has broken out in

Russia, in the Governments of Tchernigov, of Kursk,
and of Poltava. It is even insinuated that the Grand
Duke Constantine is not a stranger to the insurrection.
It would form a fortunate diversion for Poland, if the news
is correct.

A letter from Constantinople informs us that the Sultan
has more than ever the intention of attacking Russia, and
that he endeavours to induce the Persians to do the same.

TOULON, Fits. 5.-An expedition is fitting out in our
port. Four sail of the line and six frigates are armed, or
are now arming, to which several Captains have been ap-
pointed. Other ships of war are also fitting out at Brest,
and leaving both ports at the same time ; they are to join
company at a given point. It is said that the command
of this squadron will be given to Admiral de Rigoy, but
its destination is yet unknown. He is to hoist his flag
on board the Suffren of 100 guns, preparing at Brest.
The frigate Independante, the Garonne corvette, the
Nagem steamer, also the Zebre and Ruse brigs, sailed
yesterday for Algiers with recruits.
A letter from Laon, of the 9th of February, states that
orders have arrived to provision that city and supply it
with necessaries. A considerable powder magazine is to be
erablished in the place.
