FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.
tis OCT. 9.—lf we may believe a private letter from
Madrid, dated October 1, the illness of M. Villiers did not
originate from a natural cause. The writer of the letter
the founds his opinion on the discharge of one of the cooks of
Legation. After the first visit of the physician, at the
departure of the courier, the Ambassador was much better,
though not considered to be wholly out of danger. The
!inaular suspicion which the sudden illness of M. Villiers
M.
excited at Madrid, the reports to which the death of
M. Rayneval gave occasion, and morbid symptoms from
'which a very strong constitution has not been able to secure
!yen the Queen herself—all this suggests to the writer re-
flections which it would be superfluous to repeat here. A
letter from Bayonne says, that Gomez has addressed to the
inhabitants of Madrid a proclamation, in which he an-
nounces to them that he shall speedily arrive before the
capital, invites them to submit without resistance to the
authority of Don Carlos, and threatens them with the ex-
ercise of the utmost rigour if they do not take the salutary
advice which he gives them.
The Nouvelle Minerve affirms, respecting the affairs of
.Switzerland, that a secret treaty has lately been signed
between Messrs. Thiers, d'Appony, Pahlen, and Werther,
and that the two principal articles stipulated are :-
Ist. That the Powers shall concert together that the
Swiss Cantons do not henceforward afford an asylum and
Protection to the refugees of the four nations as united by
the alliance.
2d. That these four Cabinets also engage to restore the
federal compact, and its primitive conditions, fixed in 1815,
Which constituted Switzerland, conformably with the gua-
rantees which the orders of the affairs of Europe required ;
"-Abet is to say, in other terms, that the aristocrats of
Berne shall have the influence restored to them of which
the revolution of 1830 deprived them.-11fessager, Oct. 10.

SPAIN.
(Extracts from the Madrid Papers of Oct. 2.)
The Madrid Gazette of the 2d contains several Royal
decrees announcing the appointment of various individuals
to
, superior administrative posts. Don Alava Gomez, ex-
Minister of Justice is named Judge of the Superior Tri-
nun
i '
a of Justice, n place of Calatrava, transferred to other
functions. Don Antonio Gonzales, President of the last
buttes, is named Judge of the same tribunal, in place of
on M. Genvera de Villotta, who has been allowed to
prefer his claim to retire.
According to the provisions of another decree, no pen-
-B,a3a On the national Treasury, or upon any other national
.1 •
funds, will be paid to Spaniards residing in foreign coun-
tries without the special authority of her Majesty. Even
those who may be absent from the country in virtue of a
special permission, or mission, will not receive their pen-
2T3us or pay unless they can show proof of having sworn to
the Constitution. Those who left the kingdom before the
15th August, in virtue of a permission from the Govern-
°lent, will neither receive pay nor pension if they do not
(brain a renewal of their permission.

CIRCULAR ADDRESSED BY THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR

TO THE PROVINCIAL POLITICAL CHIEFS.

" The mobilization of the National Militia is one of the
Most effective measures which the Government could have
adopted to render serviceable the efforts of the army, to de-
fend the fortified places, to pursue the rebels in all direc-
t-tens, and, while insuring the triumphs of liberty, to restore
to the different towns that tranquillity of which they stand
80 much in need. But in proportion to the importance of
Measures is the extent of the obstacles which oppose their
execution. It is for the Government to consider the
amount of those obstacles, and to remove them with
strong hand. When the safety and prosperity of
!!le country are concerned, no sacrifice ought to be con-
Ildered painful, and no p rivate interest should be so in-
"eential as patriotism. Itis the duty of all Spaniards, and
esPecially of the civil authorities, the provincial deputa-
tltms, and of the juntas of armament and defence, to pro-
mote the views of the Government by organizing rapidly as
tftmeY battalions of National Militia as will suffice as a de-
co to to the loyal population of Spain, and to strike terror
tald dismay among the rebellious hordes. For this purpose
the above-named authorities and bodies ought to provide
Means, and collect funds wherever they can find them, to
arm,l, equip, and assist the corps of National Militia in
those places where they are bound to assemble. The au-
thorities will furnish them with beds, hospitals, and, in a
Word, with whatever may be required by citizens who aban-
rtheir homes to respond to the appeal of their country.
irteen days after the receipt of the present circular by the
.11thorities of every provincial capital, the National Mi-
litia, in the district intended for mobilization, ought to be
3MPletely equipped and organized. Such is the desire of
er Majesty the Queen.

PORTUGAL.
PROTEST OF THE PEERS OP PORTUGAL.
derMadaine—The Peers of the Kingdom of Portugal, un-
signed, could not help reading with surprise and regret
the
"eeree signed by your Majesty on the 10th of this
Month, by which your Majesty acknowledges as the public
September,
of the realm the Political Constitution published in
eOtenther, 1822.
h,, The Constitutional Charter of this Monarchy, granted
Aa Portuguese Sovereign, the august father of your Ma-
lyY, accepted by the orders of the State, solemnly sworn
them
def. , and by your Majesty, and a first and second time
een'nued by the Portuguese army with feats of the greatest
tin„,Battcy and bravery against military forces by far supe-
,
numbers, though inferior in gallantry, and who had
dared to fight against it, could not be revoked or annihilated
4,414 moment of hallucination, by a fraction of the said
lie Y, when this said army, according to the Constitution
ev_ Proclaimed by it, and according to the public law of
ttevreY civilised nation, is essentially obedient, and can
madame,P be assembled to deliberate on and carry resolutions.
, by the Constitutional Charter, part of the Na-
do,„"at Representatation belongs to the Peers of the King-
of.'" ; it also belongs to them to watch over the keeping
C the Constitution : and without the approbation of their
tut4iomber no alteration can be made in any of the Consti-
,roal Articles.
thlti nese are, indeed, great prerogatives, and important
suffes, which their honour, the sanctity of an oath, and long
ie.rings supported by them, cannot permit to be despised.
Ing then on this that they lay the foundation of carry-
Cl, erore the presence of your Majesty, as the Supreme
deelef of the nation, this their protest against the illegal
)oerreLcountersigned by one of your Ministers ; hoping that
tue-s .1"-"ajesty will make such a use of it, that the Porto-
11°Wia as well as the foreign nations, may have means of
,
tith. 4 that the Peers of the kingdom neither promote
vaina?Prove revolutions, and that honour and oath are not
tnames to them.
Peeeg the honour of kissing your Majesty's hands, the
rof the kingdom

bee;:b;3lc;'r. :I.—he tribunal of the public Treasury
decree o Tf
the 26th ult., abolished, and the

attributes which belonged to that office are to be exercised
provisionally by the employes of the Finance Department.
The salaries of the former office have been considerably re-
duced, which reduction will come into operation on the Ist
of this month. The saving in this one branch only is
5,9041., and including the salaries of the abolished tribu-
nals, 6,4601., amount together to 12,364/., while the re-
trenchments made up to the present exceed 150,0001. ster-
ling per annum. Out of the eleven Councillors of the
Treasury, one only, an M. J. F. da Costa Sampayo, has
sworn to the Constitution of 1820 ; and he, as a reward
for his patriotism, is to receive a subsidy of 2501., being a
third part of the salary lie received when belonging to that
office, until he can be conveniently employed.
As the Constitutional Charter of 1820 provides only for
one House of Representatives, the Chamber of Peers has
in consequence been dissolved.
Her Majesty, taking into consideration the actual state
of things, and how beneficial it would be that her Throne
and the Constitution of the State should be confided to the
loyalty of the citizen soldiers, ordains, that all the corps of
the National Guard throughout the kingdom shall assemble
every Sunday, to be exercised and inspected, during the
space of three months, commencing from the 23d ult.
Every regiment of the line, without distinction, is now
admitted to the honour of deing duty at the Palace.
The commercial intercourse between the ports of Portu-
gal and Belgium during the first quarter of this year is as
follows :—There sailed from Antwerp and Ostend for Por-
tugal 13 vessels ; and from Portugal to the above ports 8
vessels, one only being Portuguese. Portugal exported in
sugar, tobacco, and various merchandise, including one case
of wine only, to the value of 172,940 francs, and Belgium in
window-glass, books, liqueurs, hats, chairs, and other furni-
ture, grinding-stones, carpets, gown-pieces, porcelain, glass,
hardware, brushes, billiard-tables, picture-frames, carriages,
hones, cloths, cutlery, mirrors, painters'-brushes, quills, &c.,
248,373 francs, showing a balance in favour of Belgium
of 75,433 francs.

It is to be hoped the intrigues of the Camarilla will soon
be put an end to, and that they will see the propriety of
going on quietly, and leavinc, to the discretion of the Cortes
the modifications of the Constitution of 1820, which, in
many of its provisions, is less liberal than the charter of
Don Pedro.

His Majesty's steamer put in here for coals, on her way
to the West Indies, on the 28th ult., and sailed yesterday.
The Opossum packet arrived from England on the 30th
ult., with the mail of the 19th.
The Espoir, with the mail of the Ist instant, sailed for
Falmouth yesterday ; and the Manchester steamer, last
from Falmouth, came in last evening. In the Tagus, his
Majesty's ships Hastings, Cornwallis, Malabar, Endynion,
