FOREIGN IN.TELLIGENCE.

'PARIII, SETT. 4.—A: private letter from Frank-
fort furnishes us with the following details
are much occupied here by the approaching Congress,
end attempts are made to calculate its probable results. The sys-
-tem of the Austrian Cabinet is known; and it is naturally ex-
ported that it will again preponderate in the diplomatic assem-
Mies4f Vienna and Verona. It is to be presumed that every
cifoirt Rill a i.edoubled to maintain at any price the existing
Aysiera ; and that above all thingi a war in Europe will beguard-
ed against, particidarly in the East. In a word, to give stabi-
lity to ancient institutions, and to prevent innovation, is the
lirlimaterial policy which animates, and which will continue to
animate, the Diplomatists who are supposed to possess the great-
est influence in the destinies of Europe.

" The affairs of Spain and Portugal must necessarily embar-
rasa these into, dons in some degree. If the events of the .7th
.a July at Madrid had taken another turn, much less embar-
rassment would have been felt. But upon this important pciirie.
o; ;pions are divided ; on the one hand 7 is wished that the same
steps should be taken against Spain which were taken two years
ago with respect to Naples and Piedmont ; but others do nos
wish, as is believed, that recourse shotild be had to such mea-
tAws, and it is believed that in England there will be found
many opponents .to such a measure. It is added that .seve-
, ral Men-Ahem of the Cabinent.of St. James's arc or opinon that
diplomatic measures only should be taken with regard to the
peninsula.

"With respect to Turkey, it is known that a great regulating
Minister consider'S it as are extettiiv.e Marsh, inhabited by two de-
scriptions of savage !kat*. . This i4..the expression Which he uses
in one of his confidential letters.directed to a friend on the, bor-
, den of the Rhine. This Minister is decidedly of opinion that
the proposed European civilization, such as he understands it, is
much to be desired ; but Russia is already so great, and so close
to us ! How can we without danger furnish to her this new

temptation,? And the more so when we recollect what have
.been the views in this respect which have constantly directed
the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh before the advancement of the

.Emperor Alexander to the Throne ?
" It is to be presumed that Greece will be abandoned to
her own resources, at least ostensibly. if she succeeds, it
_ will be always time to introduce her into the general system
of Europe. This plan will in addition have the advantage of
"taking from a great Northern Power the influence which she
hadin Germany, and which she must inevitably lose when it is
perceived that she abandons solely to their courage and perse-
verance the religious cause of the Greeks.
" The death of the Marquis of Londonderry does not, as ap-
pears, portend any modifications in the great projects which are
about to undergo discussion. It is not wished to assume an air
which would make it suppose he was of so much importance,
and it appears determined—
" Ist. To declare firmly and openly against Revolutions of
every species.
" 2d. To confide to Austria the guarantee of Italy and of
Germany.
" 3d. To agree to a secret Article relative to Spain.
" 4th. To renew those guarantees given to the ocher States of
Europe.
"sth. To declare themselves neuter; at least ostensibly so, in
the affairs of Turkey.
" 6th. To invite the different Powers to abstain from an open
war with Spain.
" 7th. To agree to some generally repressive measures with
regard to the Press.
" Such are the ideas generally entertained in Germany re-
lative to the new Congress, but men, who think, feel little in-
quietude ; they know that there are in• acts—that there are in
circumstances, an evidence and a force, against which all the re-
sources of diplomacy, and all the efforts of power, must
(Le Constitationnel. )
The Minister of the Prussian Cabinet, Count
De Bernstorff, Chief of the Department of
Foreign Affairs, left Berlin on the 23d of August
for Vienna, after having received, a-short time
before, dispatches from the King of. Prussia, who
is at present at Tceplitz. The Prince Chancellor
will not, it is said, assist at the conferences at
-Vienna.

It is not even known whether the

King will proceed to that capital. His Majesty's
route will not be decided upon until after his
'return to Berlin, which k fixed for the 29th of
August.—(Gazette de Hambourg.)
The assembling of a Prussian Camp at Zeu-

chern, near Zeltz, in Prussian' Saxony, at this
moment, occupies much of public attention. It is
expected that the King of Prussia-will go there
on leaving Tceplitz.
The King of Prussia has at length determined
to convoke. at. Berlin on the Ist October a cer-
tain number of the Deputies' from the different
Prussian Provinces on both Banks of the Rhine,
for the purpose of consulting them as to the
future organization of Prussia. It is said that
They will first proceed to decide the general
Constitution, after which the Constitution of the
different Departments will be inquired into and
revised.

The news from Trieste,dated the 15th August,
states that all' the Isles of the iEgeau Sea have
made common cause with. Hydra., Ypsita, and
Spezzia, and have engaged to furnish armed ves-
beig and troops. The deliverance of Negropont
is consid,erect as certain ; independence has
already been proclaimed in 70 Communes, and
the Turks ouly hold two principal forts, which
be obliged,tosurrender,almost immediately.

COURT OF, ASSIZES OF POITIERS.
• CONSFI RAct. OF THOUARS AND SAUMUR.
l'll`ll`CO OF SEPTEMBER 1.
'The examination of the yens d'armes of Thouars, who had
bey compelled to march to Satimur, was continued.
GOiraud, Ex-gendarme, deposed exactly the.same as Boc-
quiault and 31airet yesterday. While he stated, that several
muiketsinid been levelled at him, .and that he recognised one
young man among his assailants, he 'admitted that the night
was very dark.—Navy, another Ex-gendarme, deposed to the
sanfe‘facts.
Pascal .Paindessous, Sexton at Thouars, gave evidence, that
Pombas had sounded the Tocsin, and compeller} Samson to
pull down the white flag. • -
L'Abbe Jagault, Cure of Thouars,. aged tixty, deposed,
that he was called .up on the 24th of February,' by. three per-
sons, Saunion, Meudier and another. They desired me to ac-
company them to their General ; I demanded' their authority ;
they said every thing was reversed, and they were masters. I
refused to accompany them without authority. Pombas was
called, who desired me to accompany him to the General. I
was conducted to General Berton. On demanding to speak to
him, he told me to be quiet ; my character should be respected,
and I should not be insulted. I was conducted to the garden
by M. Delon, and afterwards to the Place de •Lavaux, where
the Mayor reclaimed us, and Gen. Berton released us. I was
well treated by M. Delon.
M. -GuILDAUT, Juge at Bressuire, was surrounded by seve-
ral people ; bayonets were pointed at him, and one of the troop
cried out—" In the name of the sovereign people we have orders
to arrest you." He was carried before Berton, who told him
that the Provisional Government was established, and that it
was all over with the Bourbons. He heard cries of " Vive la
Liberte," " Vive la Republique." He was treated, however,
with great politeness.
Henry Gaspar, gun-maker, at Thouars, was visited on Feb.
24 by Pombas, accompanied by 20 or 30 men, who demanded
arms, which I gave him. An invoice was signed by General
Berton, who told me he was going to Saumur with his troop,
and that I should there be paid for the muskets.
Francois Charpertier expected his waggons at Thouars, and
they not arriving he went to meet them. He was met on the
road by a patrol and condUcted .to General Berton, who took
his waggons, and give him a paper signed by him promising to
pay for them.

Another witness was treated exactly in the same manner.
Louis Boudil, " Concierge de la Mairie, at Thouars, was
there when Berton arrived with Pombas and others, and
witnessed the noise they made, and heard them talk of taking
arms.

Michael Chicaurd deposed to being requested to join the
party by Delon.; on refusing they did not force him, because
they took only volunteers.
M. de la Ville Hauge Colonel of Infantry, was roused on
the morning of the 25th of Feb. by information that people
were in the city with the tri-coloured cockade, and that the
Generale had been beaten. 1 repaired to the Commune, where
I was arrested by Pombas. Delon told me that no harm
'would be done to me, but that 1 was arrested on account of my
influence. His wife was threatened to have her house hiirnt
and plundered by Heureux, if she did not give up her horses.
The son of this witness confirmed his father's statements.
Several witnesses deposed to having been invited by Pombas,
Masse, and others of the prisoners to take up arms.
Anton Poulet, Lieutenant, living at Thouars, was invited, to
meet General Berton on February 24, who gave him, irt:writ-
ing,, a commission as Commander of the National Guards at
Thouars, and recommended him to provide for the tranquillity
of the place. He did not, however, act on this commission.
Devalee, Sous-Prefet of Bressuire, was inforthed on the
morning of Feb. 24, that the gates of Thouars were guarded by
men with the tri-coloured cockade. He assembled two brigades
of gensdarmes, and marched towards Thouars. On the road
Vendean peasants offered to join him, but he refused. At
Thouars he was told Berton was expected to return from Sau-
mur. He took measures for the security of the town, and sent
his gendarmes out after prisoners. Berton had forced nobody
from Thouars to accompany him ; those who went were
volunteers. _ _

Other witnesses then deposed to hearing the troops of Berton
cry out on their route, Vive la Libert6 !—Vive le Roi de
Rome bas les Droits Rcunis."
SITTING OF SEPTEMBER 3. _ _

M. Henri Joly Canuel, Maire of Montreuil, deposed to Ber-
ton and his troop appearing there on Feb. 24. The inhabitants
were invited by Delon to take up arms, but remained quiet.—
Gen. Berton invited the Brigadier of the Gensdarmes to follow
them, but he refused. No force was used.
Alexis Rousseau,
.11Iarechal de Logis at Thouars, command-
ing the brigade of Montreuil on Feb. 24th, saw on that day a
troop of cavalry coming, which he took for an escort of prison-
ers. The General who commanded it came to me 'and told
me to order my men to take their horses and follow him. On
hearing the cries of " Vive la Charte Vive la LiherV. !" I
sent intelligence to Saumur that a band of insurgents was ap-
proaching; I was again invited by Delon to accompany them;
he told me it was a general movement ; they talked of taking
my arres, but did not do it. On their going away, I repaired
by a different road to Saumur. Gen. Berton was the first per-
son who spoke to him.
Charles Botret, gendarme; deposed that Caf./.!, one of the ac-
cused, informed him before the arrival of General Berton, that
he was coming, followed by a column of 10,000 men.
Another Gendarme deposed the same.
At half-past one o'clock, the Sitting was suspended.

Lr.4IIA.ACT OF A LETTER FROM "conru, JULY 25.1
- C 4 The accounts from the COntinent of the 16th of this month
inform us, that a post of thirty Franks, encamped at the vil-
lage of Pera, near Arta, ,w4s surprised and surrounded by the
Turks-. They were taken 'to Arta, where the. Barbarians cut
off their 'ears and noses, and put out their eyes, and sent
them back in this condition to, the camp of the Greeks, who,
inflamed with anger at this sight, fell upon the Mahomedans
and retaliated, by cutting in pieces 340 prisoners, who fell into
their hands. _ _

While these scenes of horror where passing in the south
of Epirus, Murk Botzario, issuing from the mountains of
Sidi; penetrated by the plateau of Joannina and over-ran
the post of. Caltana Choria, from which he drove the Turks,
who escaped only by embarking on the lake, to return to the
foit of Joannina. _ . _

" Letters from Parga say, that the plague has appeared at
Paranthia, and in a great many villages of the Chamouri.
"The latest accounts from Zante say, that four American
frigates or corvettes are cruising before the Castle of Patras.
At the departure of the post, there was a report of a sanguinary
combat at Thermopylm, on the 7th and Bth of July, of which
various accounts were given, according to the inclinations of
the narrators. _ _ _

" The death of Odysseus was generally spoken of—a loss
which ,wastriore.than made up for by-the success of the brave
and prudent Mark Botzario. No reliance is now placed in
Greeee .on the assistance of RusSia ; to which, as Chourschid
Paeha; has publicly- announced, '6 the Porte had deigned
to grailt peace, since it has abandoned the cause of its Greek
fellow;„Christians, and recognised the pre-eminence of the Cres--
eentinve the Cross." Though this is merely the boasting of
a barbatian, it is not easy to describe the sinister impression

French vessels succeeded in saving about 300 Mussulmen wo..
men. It is afflicting, that amidst so many instances of invin-
cible valour and perseverance religion and humanity should
have to .deplore excesses, of which Christian soldiers should
never be guiltf"-
Fit A N 0R T, AUG. 26.—Several conferences have already
taken place at Vienna in'the office for Foreign Affairs, at which
Prince 3letternich Presided. At these conferences, which may
be considered as 'preliminary proceedings to those of the ap-
proaching Congress, the-following Ministers have been succes-
sively invited to attend :
For France, the French Ambassador, the Marquis de Cara-
man ; for Great Britain, Sir Gordon; for Prussia, Prince
Hatzfeld ; for Russia, M. de Tatischefr.

It is affirmed, that in the famou's battle at Thermopylw' the
Greeks were aided by the counsels of a foreign General of dis-
tinction, who came from Corinth. This officer, who observed
the strictest incognito, fought in the ranks merely as a Greek
Cap_tain.
BRUSSELS, SEPT. 3.—The Amsterdam Journal, of the 29th,
contains the list of the names of the two hundred and nine
Greek merchants who were put to death at Chio by the Turks,
which list we also published on the 28th.
A Lieutenant of the French Douaniers was killed a few days
ago by.a musket shot fired by an officer who was lying in am-
bush near Valenciennes, and who had aimed at a dog, sup-
posed to be carrying contraband goods.
Count Hardenberg, the Hanoverian Minister Plenipoten-
tiary to the Court of Vienna, has passed through this city on
his way to London.
FROM THE DANUBE, AUG. 24.—We have accounts of the
appearance of Turkish and Greek ships of war on the West
coast of the Morea : the two squadrons were, however, not
strong, and seemed to be only detachments of larger fleets.—
A letter from Corfu speaks of a naval action, in which the
Turks are said to have suffered severely. In Northern Al.
bania, the projected reunion of all the tribes inhabiting that
district with the Paclia of Scutari, has really been effected.
The alliance is concluded for the common defence against all
enemies whatever.

LEGHORN, AUG. 19.—Yesterday and to-day ships have ar-
rived in our-roads from Alexandria, Smyrna, and Malta. The
accounts they have brought do not confirm the reports of naval
battles : it seems certain that the Turkish fleet, which had been
joined by several sail from Constantinople, has sailed from Te.
nedos towards the Morea. Ismail Gibraltar, with the.ligyptian
and Barbary, fleet, was crui4ing between. Smyrna and Scio.
The vesselS that have come through the Archipelago, did not
see any Greek fleet. It is said that the King_ of Naples will soon
arrive hereon his way to the Congress at Verona.
BUCHAREST, A LTG. 4.—(From a Mercantile Lctter.)—" In
the course of last year the intrigues of some Hetarists induced
the wife of our present Prince not to leave Cronstadt ; she sub-
sequently got herself divorced from her husband. The Prince
caused the divorce to be confirmed by the Patriarch at Constan-
tinople, and it is thought she will now hardly return to Bucha-
rest. The Divan here has, however, sent two Boyars to Cron-
stadt to fetch the two Princes, and they are expected in a few
days. The heat, which had increased to 33, has abated, and
the thermometer to-day is at 26. We do not hear of any dan-
gerous diseases. Unhappily the hay and corn is burnt up,
there having been no rain for these two months."

MARSEILLES, AUGUST 15.—We have direct
news from Constantinople of the latter end of
July. The Porte circulated various accounts of
victories, and announced the approaching sub-
jection of the Insurgents in the Morea ; the
people were informed, that Chourschid Pacha,
united with the Pacha of Salonichi and Hassan
Pacha, had gained great advantages, and was on
his march to the Morea, whither also the Turkish
fleet had sailed, &c. But the better informed
Turks did not give much credit to these accounts,
which they considered as a contrivance to revive
the fallen "courage of the Mussulmen. The
Janissaries shew on all occasions their dislike to
the present system. They say, that Haleb Ef.
fendi is sold, and in the pay of the enemies of
the Mitssulmen, anti that all the misfortunes that
have happened hitherto must be ascribed to him.
They are also dissatisfied with Ibraham
who commands the army at Bujukdere, and has
saved Haleb by his courage, in recompence for
which, his friends say, he is to be made Grand
Vizier, and he has, in fact, had several private
audiences of the Sultan, at which Haleb was
present. But well-informed persons say, that
they are not on such good terms as they seem,
that they fear and envy each other, and will soon
be at open variance, and that Haleb is certainly
far frOm thinking of doing any thing to advance
-Ibrahim, on whom he can never depend. It was
stated at Constantinople, that all the differences
with. Russia were adjusted, and M. de Tatischeff
will soon come as Ambassador. Several troops
have again lately been ordered from Bulgaria, to
join the army in Thessaly ; those sent before
have relieved Chourschid from- his embarrass-
ment, and enabled him for the moment to act on
the offensive. Letters from Salonichi say, there
have been in Southern Thessaly sanguinary
actions, with alternate success.
FRONTIERS OF ITALY, AUG. 23.—Respecting
the important events in Thessaly, we have re-
ceived information, from which it appears that
the troops, which, in consequence of the orders
of the Porte, successively arrived from Bulgaria
and Ilumelia, immediately proceeded to Thessaly
to deliver Chourschid Pacha from his embarrassing
situation. The troops of armed Greek peasants
which occupied the defiles of Olympus could not
oppose any effectual resistance to this army, and
retreated into inaccessible mountains. This
very formidable army, (stated to be from 15,000
to 20,000 men) advanced, therefore, without
opposition to Larissa, and effected its junction
with Chourschild, who had previously collec-
ted the remnants of "the Turkish corps of
Hassan Pacha, Mahomet Pacha, &c. which bad
been defeated and partly destroyed before.
—Chourschid resolved, in obedience to the
orders received from Constantinople, to corn-
mence offensive operations, even before the
Pacha of Salonichi should arrive with fresh rein-
forcement's. The latter had sent a corps,.
_which eras placed at his disposal, towards
Cassandra., -and- put himself at the'.head of 'it,
which. induced the Greeks that had landed
there to re-embark, as they were
,not dis-
posed to,engage in a-serious combat with su-
perior numbers but they-will probably re-
turn as soon as the Pacha again left Cassandra
with his troops. When these accounts came
away, the Pacha was also on the point of march-
ing to Thessaly. During this time Chourschid
had really gained many advantages over the
Greeks, which were proclaimed at Salonichi with
great pomp ; but he subsequently sustained a
severe defeat which compelled him to retreat.
The Turkish Authorities at Salonichi of course
say nothing of this, but positive information had
been received there of the total failure of
Chourschid's new operations. The communica-
tion between Larissa and Salonichi was, however,
perfectly restored, and a new division of troops
was really on the march from Macedonia to
Thessaly ; so that some desperate battle may
still be expected in the latter province.
