FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

. PARIS, ➢EC. 4.—Yesterday a Journal (the
Quotidienne) announced that the Duke of An..
gouleme was to set out next week for the depart-
ments of the south. This news is destitute of
foundation.—(Journal des Debuts; and also
l'Etoile of the preceding evening.)
In contradiction to the report in the Constitu-
tionne4 of O'Donnel's return to Bayonne, the
Quotidienne says—Ac Our letters from that town,
dated the 28th and 29th, concur in saying, that
O'Donnel still occupied the mountains of Roncal,
where he had collected a division of 1,500 men,
which was daily receiving additions from the
neighbouring Biscayan provinces, in which the
hatred against the revolutionists is decided. On
this point the Constitutionalists have only 7,000 or
r 000 men : viz. 2,000 at Pampeluna, and 5,000
dr 6,000 at Vittoria, under the command of

Torrijos." •
The Courier Frangais states, that—." Yesterday between
four and five o'clock, at the moment when all the mails were
made up, and ready to depart for their respective destinations,
a counter-order arrived, in pursuance of which they were
stopped, and the dispatches taken out, and carried back to the
ofECes. Some time after the mails were sent off in succession.
Several did not depart till after six o'clock."
(This paragraph appeared in THE SuN of yesterday, but its
re-insertion is rendered necessary by the following remarks in
the Constitutionnel :]—

We can explain the cause of this unusual pro-
ceeding : it was yesterday's Constitutionnel. A
proposal for seizing yesterday's impression was,
it is said, at first rejected, and afterwards ap-
proved of ; this occasioned the delay of the mails.
We have read with scrupulous attention the
number of our journal, which has been thus
seized, and we are unable to find in it any thing
but arguments stated with extreme moderation,
for we should blush to imitate the language of
the fanatical journals which have not been seized.
However, the result of the prosecution brought
against the Constitutionnel, on account of the
article entitled "My Congress," by M. de Pradt,
and our confidence in the justice of our cause,
render us perfectly easy with respect to the con-
consequences of the new seizure. The annoy-
ances to which we are subjected will not prevent
us from expressing whatever we believe will be
advantageous to our country. We have pledged
ourselves to our readers to do this, and we enter-
tain too much esteem and respect for them not to
redeem the pledge.
The copies of that number of the Constitutionnel
-which contains the article entitled " My Con-
gress," will be restored to us immediately, in
pursuance of the judgment of the Court. As soon
as we receive them, they shall be sent to our readers
in the departments.—(The Constitutionnel.)
Letters from Bayonne of the 28th November
.coatain the following piece of intelligence :—The
King of Spain has refused to sanction the decree
relative to patriotic societies. Some letters ad-
dressed to Quesada at Paris have been inter-
cepted by the victorious army.—(lbid.)
M. Beltram de Lis, who quitted Paris by the
orders of the authorities, has been arrested at
Bordeaux, and all his papers have been scrupu-
lously examined. They were again subjected to
a similar inspection at Behobie. M. Carassa, a
Spanish merchant at Bayonne, has, it is said,
been treated in a similar manner, and the Spanish
Consul was not present upon the occasion.
Immense quantities of warlike stores continue
to arrive at Bayonne daily. The building in
which military offenders have hitherto been con-
fined, is to be converted into a barrack : its for-
mer occupants will be removed to the castle of
Dax.

The Chancellor, Prince IJardenberg, died on
his road to Venice.
HAGUE, DEC. 3.—The news that Prince Alex-
ander Ypsilanti and some of his companions had
been set at liberty, as some Journals stated, at
the desire of Russia, is not confirmed.
We learn that the letter from Constantinople,
.of very recent date, states that a European com-
mercial house, established in that city, has pre-
sented to the Porte a plan for a loan of 40 mil lions of
Turkish piastres. The conditions and security which
the house required were not known,but the proposal
had been mostfavourably received ; only the Divan
bad reserved to itself to take so important
a measure into mature consideration. Should
this plan be really made, it would probably put
a stop to the depreciation of the currency, which

causes so much discontent; but,it would be very
detrimental to the Greeks, who are much fa-

voured by the exhausted state of the treasury,
and the wavering of the Ottoman Ministry, which
is the consequence of it.

NurtEmnuaa, Nov. 2 3.—Mr. J. J. Schnele,
merchant in Nuremburg, having addressed to the
King a memorial " on the future commercial re-
lations of Germany," in which the author has
allowed himself to use language most scandalously
disrespectful. Ills Majesty has ordered the
_Minister for Foreign Affairs to return it to him,
with a severe reprimand. The Government of
urtemburg has given a similar order.
ITAMBURCiff, Nov. 29.—Letters from St. Pe-
tersburgh of the 16th say, that the winter had

aheady set in, and the frost was pretty severe,
so that the communication with Cronstadt was

interrupted, and tl►e great bridge over tt►e Newa
was removed.

The Empresses had returned from their sum-
mer residences, Zarskojeselo and Gatschina, and
taken up their abode in the winter palace.
His Imperial Highness, the Grand Duke
Michael, returned on the MIL from his foreign

tour.

Above 100 unfortunate Greeks arrived lately
at Warsaw, having been obliged to quit their

-own country. A subscription was opened for
their relief.

HANovErt, Nov. 20.—llis Royal Highness
'the Duke of Cambridge is expected here the
clay after to-morrow from Dusseldorf, where he

will part from her Royal Highness the Princes
Augusta.

SPAIN.
MADRID, N0v.25.
In the sitting of the Cortes of the 24th, the
budget extraordinary of the Minister of Marine
was discussed.

In the sitting of this day two propositions relative to the
Court of Rome were adopted. The objects of these propositions
are—lst, To take measures to prevent the circulation of a brief
which condemns a work in which the inviolability of the De-
puties of the Cortes is asserted ;-2d, To intimate to the Papal
Nuncio, and to the Court of Rome, under the proper diplomatic
forms, that that Court will not be allowed to carry into effect
any of its projects against Spain.
General Morillo is at liberty in Madrid. It appears that the
Fiscal Paredes has made a claim upon this General for the
expence occasioned by sending an officer to the village of Molar
to arrest him, and that General Morillo resists the demand.

The Marquis de Castellar has just been brought to Madrid,
and put in prison. The cause of his arrest is the part which he
took in the affair of the 7th of July. He had been exiled to
the kingdom of Valencia.

The Duke of lnfantado has also returned to this city. He
has published in the papers a contradiction of the report which
was circulated respecting his plan for escaping to England.
The Landaburian Patriotic Society increases in numbers
daily. Riego, Adan, Galiano, and other members of the Cortes,
attend its sittings regularly, and are the principal speakers.
An animated discussion took place at the last meeting of the

society. The Deputy Galiano alluded to the rumours which
were in circulation respecting the declaration of the Holy Al-
liance. The applause with which every sentence he uttered was
received, prevented us from hearing him distinctly. However,
we were able to hear his conclusion, which was as follows :
" If war be declared against Spain, it will prove the deetruc-

tion of tyrants. The Spanish nation, forgetting the differences

of opinion among themselves, and especially those which divide
the Liberals, and supported by their representatives (who, like
the Roman Senators, will never abandon their curule chairs),

and, strengthened by the justice of their holy cause, cannot fail
to be victorious; and their triumph will be that of all Europe.
Let us be united and we shall be invulnerable."
General Riego next addressed the assembly, and in allusion
to the subject upon which M. Galiano had touched, he said—
" Our present army is very different from that of 1808. It was
then commanded by Generals who were destitute of knowledge
and talents, and who committed the most glaring errors ; but
now we have a Mina, a Ballasteros, an Abisbal, and other Ge-
nerals who will lead our soldiers to victory. Since the
former period, young officers have been educated who are
filled with patriotic ideas. Citizens ! fear not ; we shall over-
come our enemies, and the signal of attack will be for us the
signal of victory."

The following is an extract of a letter dated Madrid, Nov.
20, received yesterday by way of Bayonne :—" Never has the
' fermentation in the people's minds been so extraordinary as for
these few days past, and especially on the night of the 17th, in
consequence of the account of the falling of the funds at Paris
and the reports of war that were circulated. The agitation was
so great, that several patriots went in a body to the office of the
Minister to know whether the Government have received any
dispatches from abroad concerning the probability of a war ;
but it was soon learned that only a commercial house in this
city had received an express, stating the agitation on the Ex-
change at Paris on the 12th. However, the enemies of the sys-

tem soon spread a report that the Holy Alliance had decided
the armed interference in the affairs of Spain, and this news
assumed such a degree of credit, that it was the general subject
of conversation in all public places and private circles ; and if
the leaders ofthe Landaburian Club had been allowed to take
their own way, the capital would have been filled with conster-
nation. In fact, on the same evening several ecclesiastics and
others, whom opinion points out as adversaries to the constitu-
tion, were publicly insulted in the•streets. The alarm continu.
ed through the whole of the 18th, and in the night the same
*house received an express, with the news that the funds at Paris
had risen on the 13th, and that the reports which had caused
the fall were beginning to be dispelled. On the other hand,
the Government received on the 19th, at 2 A. 31., an express
from its Minister at Paris, with dispatches very satisfactory in
respect to the reports of war. On the 19th, in the morning,
groups of people assembled in the Puerta del Sol, anxious to
know the contents of the dispatches of the Duke de San Lo-
renzo, and they soon learned that he had written that the
Congress had decided nothing with regard to Spain ; it is even
affirmed that the Minister has said to his friends, that if he
had received any unpleasant news, he would have immedi-
ately published it in the journals. Nevertheless, people's
fears are not wholly dispelled, and they await with impa-
tience the result of the Congress. The merchants' expresses
which arrive are surrounded and questioned by numbers of

persons."

( From the Gazette of Rio Janeiro, Sept. 26.)
LETTER FROM THE KING TO HIS SON.

My Son,—l have refrained from answering your letters be-
cause I waited for the decision of the Cortes. You will now re-
ceive the decrees, and I recommend to you to observe them, and
to.obey the orders transmitted to you, because you will thereby
gain the esteem of the Portuguese, whom you will hereafter
nave to govern.; and it is necessary that you should give de-
cided proofs of your love of the nation. 'Vhen you write re-
collect that you are a Prince, that your writings will be seen by
all the world, and that you ought to be careful not only of what
you say, but also of the manner in which your reply is ex-
pressed.
