FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

Pmtis, Nov. 6.—The funds yesterday expe-,
ricuced a slight decline ; the `c.,ause is attributed
to the rumour which is in circulation that war:
has been declared against Spain. (Courier

Francals:)
M.-Colamb, Advocate-General, yesterday made
his report upon the plea of incempetency made
'by M. Benjamin Constant, against the decision
-which led to his indictment before the tribunal
of Correctional Police, on the subject of his letter
addressed to the-opposition. Journals.vin reply to
the deposition of M. de Carrere, subprefect of
Saumur.
When Frenchmen undertOok to erect, at St.
Ouen, a monument of glory and gratitude worthy
of transmitting to posterity recollections so truly
national, this memorable place . presented only
ruins to the eyes of astonished strangers ; a sacri-
legious hand had demolished the cradle in which
• France appeared to find a second existence, and
--where. Europe looked for the guarantee of her
repose. Honoured be the truly French architect
who first conceived the generous idea pf emanci-
,-vating St.:Ouen from so horrible a profanation !
A simple pavilion, remarkable for its noble and
elegant architecture, has been built by this ar-
chitect, which throughout excites admiration of
his good taste. No person is ignorant that it was
at St. Ouen that the King signed that solemn de-
claration by which his Majesty promised to his
subjects the charter which he alone had the right
to give them. The King there received the con-
gratulations of Sovereigns; the acclamations of
love sent forth from all hearts, had taught them,
that fidelity is an indissoluble sentiment in France.
Finally, it was at St. Ouen, that Louis XVIII.
offered himself a guarantee to kings, who had so
many wrongs to avenge ; and legitimacy on that
occasion mitigated the conditions of victory.—
(Moniteur.)
His Excellency the Minister of the interior has,
at the solicitation of the Mayor of Cambray,
granted a block of marble, for a statue of Fene-
ion, which is to form the principal figure of a
monument about to be erected to the memory
of that Prelate. This block is the finest that
could be found in the Government magazines.
M. David, who is charged with the sculpture,
'has already commenced his work. Contracts
have been entered into with other statuaries of
Paris, who are to furnish collateral figures, and
with a builder at Cambrai for the mason's work."
FRONTIERS OF ITALY, OCT. 2G.—Accounts
given in several merchants' letters ag e in stat-
ing that the Egyptian fleet under Ismail Gibraltar
.has Separated from the Turks, and returned to
_Alexandria, to winter there. Ismail Gibraltar
was ordered by his Master, the Pacha of Egypt,
not to, be induced, on any pretext whatever, to
enter the Dardanelles, if the Turkish fleet should
return " to Constantinople, he being convinced
that in this case he would no longer have the
free'disposal of his ships, but that they would be
..considered as truly Turkish. It is said, that be-
fore the separation took place, there was a violent
altercation between the Turkish and Egyptian
-.Commanders. The Turkish fleet, in its hasty
return to the Dardanelles, has lost two frigates,
a corvette, and some brigs. One frigate was burnt
by the Greeks and one taken,as also two brigs; the
corvette and the other brigs stranded and sunk. The
'Peet had no transports with it, having left all the
troops t Patras ; this enabled it to sail more
rapidly. A part of the crews have died of the
plague. We now positively know that there has
been no actual naval engagement. The Turks
would not fight a battle, on account of the bad
condition of their ships, and feared the Greek
fire-ships. The Greeks on their side were not
-willing to come to an action, because their small
well-armed -vessels could not possibly engage in
the open sea with the large Turkish men of war.
Their views were directed to burning the Turk-
ish fleet, which escaped its destruction by its
rapid return to the Dardanelles. The Greeks,
however, have attained their object, of being
entire masters in the Archipelago. Another ex-
pedition of the Turkish fleet, after it has been
refitted, cannot be thought of before next spring,
and before that time various measures may be
, taken to strengthen the Greek naval force. A
part of it has returned to Hydra; a division
cruises on the coast of Asia Minor, and another
bus returned to the coast of the Morea and
Epirus. Accounts have just been received that
the Pacha of Egypt recals his troops from Candia
. and tilexandria. Every thing seems to indicate
that this extraordinary man has great under-
takings in view, and is preparing every thing to
. put them in execution. He is again at variance
with the Divan, because he has refused to send
troops to Asia to support the Turks,and because
does not keep down the Wechabites, whose
• Chiefs, in strict alliance with the Persians, are
preparing to issue from Arabia. The latest
accounts from Alexandria affirm that Bagdad is
closely besieged by the Persians, and cannot
Jong hold out. (Nuremburg Corm' ip
Oct 31.)
DaEsDEN, OCT. 21.—Baron Von Strogonoff, late Russian
Ambassador at Constantinople, has taken apartments in a pri.
vate home in this city, and will pass the whole winter here.
The wife and children of the Greek Prince Cantacuzeno,
who has been for some time here, lately arrived from Russia.
The .marriage of his Royal Highness Prince John of
. Saxony-will certainly take place in the middle of next month.
The Commissioners who are to receive the august bride on
the frontiers are already appointed.

ODESSA, OCT. 9.—Our letters from Constantinople to the
6th inst. state the city to be tranquil. The Turks have their
eyes turned upon Europe, and wait for the result of the Con-
gress before they again draw the sword of vengeance against
defenceless people. Meantime the burning of some thousand
-• houses in the Greek suburb is scarcely considered as an excess
- But if the annihilation of the Greeks should be sanctioned in
a manner by the Congress, by a total abandonment of their
cause, on which the Mussulmen appear to. calculate, the mas-
sacres will probably recommence in all the large and small
• towns, but on a more extensive scale.- The principal Turks
-quake no secretof this opinion of the case. We do not believe,
,however, that the Congress will so entirely abandon to their
