FOREIGN IN TELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.
The Nantes papers contain accounts of some disturbances
which took place there on the 15th inst.,
to a fortnight's, on the occasion of
some journeymen masons being condemned
imprisonment for unlawful combination. There had been
a great display of military force all the morning of that day,
the populace being much irritated. The gendarmerie, the
40th Regiment of the line, and the National Guard, were
stationed round the Palais de Justice, and at other points.
The crowd was very great as the prisoners were conducted
to the Tribunal to be tried ; but on the sentence being
known at four in the afternoon, the people on the Place
Bouffay began to throw stones at the soldiers, and this led
to reprisals, which only irritated the mob. A man arrested
by the gendarmerie, and placed in a coach, was rescued.
The condemned prisoners, seven in number, were at this time
brought out of court and placed in the van ; and, as they
traversed the Place Royale, the people stopped the van, but
were dispersed by the escort. Stones then began to fly
about, and charges were made, principally against the
new prison, and in the Rue de Calvaire. The irritation of
the people was principally directed against the gendar-
merie, many of whom were wounded, as well as several of
the citizens. In the Rue Dugommier, a garden wall was
demolished for the sake of its stones. In the evening some
lamps were broken by children, and the shops were shut at
an early hour A barricade was begun in the Rue Mar-
ceau, and a patrol of the 40th advanced to destroy it. A
stone was thrown, which hit the Lieutenant-Colonel who
led it on the breast. He immediately ordered his men to
unfix their bayonets, and the people, seeing this, dispersed
without continuing their attack. The journeymen masons,
it was observed, had nothing to do with these disturbances.
About fifteen arrests have taken place. the greater part of
which are children of 14 or 15 years of age. The animosity
against the National Guards is so strong that not one of
them can make his appearance without being insulted or
attacked. The Mayor has published a proclamation with
a view to calm the exasperation.
Nantes Papers to the 17th, however, announce that per-
fect tranquillity was restored, and that the workmen had
returned to their labour. The military were still, however,
on the alert.—Galignani's Messenger.
The Courrier de Lyons of the 16th instant contains an
account of the deliverance of Dufavel, the poor workman,
who, it was to oe recollected, was shut up in a cavity of a
well, by the falling in of the earth, on the 2d instant. It
was on the 15th, at a quarter to two in the morning, that
the soldiers of the engineers, who had worked without in-
termission by means of a parallel shaft and a horizontal
gallery, succeeded in piercing the wooden casing of the well
behind which Dufavel was confined. The operations car-
ried on had been all along of the most dangerous descrip-
tion, on account of the continual falling in of the sandy
soil ; and such was the caution obliged to be observed, that
for the few days preceding his deliverance the sappers
could only advance at the rate of two inches in the hour,
expecting- every moment that the earth might fall in and
completely destroy the object of their labours. When the
sappers broke through the planks the prisoner aided them
as far as his weakness would admit, but, feeling his legs
failing him, be took hold of a sergeant of the engineers by
the neck, and was by this means drawn into the gallery.
Immediately after the earth fell in, and filled the cavity
where he had been cooped up. He was laid on a blanket
in the horizontal gallery, and M. Chimard, the deputy
Mayor of Lyons, who is also a physician, came down to
visit him, and gave orders fur hauling him up. M. Chimard
then mounted himself, and addressed the sappers on the
part of Dufavel, thanking them in very expressive terms for
their unwearied exertions. A few minutes afterwards the
poor fellow himself was brought up, and the sappers would
not leave him until they had carried him on a litter to a
house where a warm bed was prepared for him. He is now
r,oing on in a most satisfactory manner. The zeal of the
officers and soldiers employed in this difficult service, and
the anxiety of the-municipality to give all the assistance in
their power, cannot be too highly praised.
PARIS, SEPT. I9.—A journal said this morning that it
bad learned from an authentic source that General Ber-
trand had accepted the post of Minister of War. An-
other paper says, in order to put an end to the embarrass-
ment, the war department will be divided into two, that
General Schramm will have the personel and the military
operations, and M. Martineau Desehenetz to be at the
head of the Administration of the War Department.
The silence of the Moniteur shows that nothing is yet
done. It would besides be a melancholy notion to dismem-
ber the War Department at a moment when every body
is sensible that it requires one energetic mind at its head.
No journal speak:- this morning of the health of M. Mar.
tin du Nord, or of what is intended to be done with the
Department of Commerce.
The Constitutionnel says,—" We learn for certain that
Marshal Molitor, who has so often been spoken of fur the
War Department, has nat left his country scat near
Nancy, where he has been for these two months."
The Madrid jour naffs of the ilth inst. have been received
morning : things remained ilh the same situation.
The nomination of Mr. Caniptiaano as MiLCster Piaui-
poteatiary at Paris, is official ; it was made by a decree of
the Bth. Don Juan Hernandez is appointed First Se-
cretary to the Legation.
A c:ter lcorn Madrid says,—" iVa are surrounded with
agents and spies of the old Government. I's meminis
have fled, but they have left numerous creatures who mis-
represent all the acts o: the Patriots, and excite new
dis-
trust in the r eople's minds:'
A'otter nom Catalonia says that " the 2d brocade of the
army has completely defeated the insurgents near Tortosa.
This is probably the consaluence of the movement of
General Mama, who left Barce'ona on the 3d, with pair
of the garrison and of the National Guard."
The Barcelona journals up to the 9th, and the letter.; of
the lOtii, announce nothing important. Mina remained
ill, and expected permission to go to France, to recover his
dhattered constitution. The Memorial says that to the list
of persons of distinction who have withdrawn to France,
the names of General Soria and the Duke de Almahuda
mast be added. Toe same journal says, "It is reported
that Don Carlos will have an interview with one of our
most eminent Generals, and that the famous Isle of Phea-
sants bast been chosen for this conference. Notwithstand-
ing tile etails which are given, we give little credit to the
ne;ys."—Journal du Co rn;;; crce. Sept. 19.

SPAIN.

We are informed that the Minister of State has com-
municated to General Butron, who commands in Estr
ema-
dura, an order by which he is allowed the sum which
he
ldnt the ex-minister, Don Javier Isturiz, on his passage
through Badajos. We d 9 not know whether the Govern-
ment will carry its generosity so far as to pay him his al-
lowances in a foreign country before the Cortes shall have
examined his conduct as Minister. Things are done which
seem incredible.—Eco del Commercio, of the 10th inst.
This assertion is a falsehood and a calumny, and its
author will have to answer for it before the law. The fol-
lowing is what General Butron has communicated to the
Government on the subject, and what the Minister of State
ordered to be done :

" Badajoz, Aug. 24, 1836.
Excellent Sir—At four o'clock yesterday, being in bed,
and suffering from an attack of nervous fever, the courier of
the Legation of his Britannic' Majesty in Madrid, Don San-
tiago Dentsch, bearer of a passport from your Excellency, and
going to Lisbon with despatches for the Minister of England
in that capital, came to me, and informed me that in the
neighbourhood of the bridge of Almaraz he had been de-
tained by four factions, who had robbed him of all the money
and valuable objects which they found upon him, treating in
the same manner a person belongine, to the legation of his
Britannic Majesty who accompanied him, but that none of his
despatches had been touched; and as they were of the greatest
interest and urgency, he begged that I would furnish him with
the means of continuing his journey to Lisbon, which I did,
supplying him from my own pocket with 1,500 reals (15/. ster-
ling), with which the courier and his companion continued
their journey, at half-past four in the evening. I have given
the strictest orders that the robbers should be pursued and
captured—the whole of which I communicate to your Excel-
lency? in order that what may be expedient in this case may
Ininkpe.—God preserve your Excellency.

sure of its acts, but what it laments is, that its acts are
disfigured, and perverse intentions are attributed to persons
who have no other intention, no other ambition, than to
save the country.—Madrid Gazette of the 11th inst.
The Junta of Government of the province of Cucuca
has addressed to the Secretary of State for the Interior the
following communication :
" Excellent Sir,—Since the 31st of August, when the un-
fortunate affair which occurred in the neighbourhood of Ja-
draque to the division which had marched from Madrid had
become known, the authorities of this province have not ceased
to adopt measures for the purpose of ascertaining exactly the
direction taken by.the faction of Gomez, and to preserve the
territory of the province, and particularly this capital; from the
attacks and ravages of the rebels. The circumstance of the
capture of the valiant Don Narcissus Lopez, the General in
command of this province, and who is esteemed in the highest
degree by its inhabitants, connected with the fact that Gomez
and many of those under him belong to this province, excited
the greatest ardour, and the determination to make a resolute
and desperate defence in case of an attack.
" Gomez, since he passed the Tagus, has marched by Arve-
teta, Armillones, Zahoryas, Penallen, and Proveda de la
Sierra, from which point he repassed the river, proceeding
into Arragon by the Lordship of Molina, as far as Horihuela.
No doubt the columns of the General San Miguel opposed
his movements, for he countermarched by his right, and ar-
rived on the 4th instant at Teniente, and at Salvacanelo yes-
terday, the sth instant, it being ascertained that to-day he
marched by Alcala de la Vega, in the direction of Moyd, to
join probably the Valencian factions at Chelva. The Junta
of this province, and I, as its Vice-President, have spared no
means to obtain information respecting the marches and
operations of the canaille, and the result is that they have
scarcely 4,000 effective men, and 300 very badly mounted
cavalry. The prisoners of Matillos, and the recruits which they
have raised by force, give them much embarrassment ; those
' who can, escape, as did more than 100 in Peraligos, Heneria
de los Chonos, and in other places. The Brigadier Lopez is
kept on the vanguard of the prisoners, and these are obliged
to march with their muskets, the locks of which have been
rendered useless. The country through which the factious
pass is devastated. They carry off all the cattle, and every-
thing else they can find, and the most notable persons, even
the fathers and mothers of the recruits who escape. The
bareness of the country and the poorness of the inhabitants is
such that the faction has been many days without bread, so
that the rebels, after a march of three hundred leagues (up-
wards of a thousand miles), are worn out with fatigue and
hunger, but the lot of our brave troops is worse, as they arc a
day's march in the rear, and have to pass through a country
already devastated.
" In this capital we have been four days under arms, and
constantly on the watch since the factious proceedings. By
the north and north- east we were exposed to a sudden attack
in the night, as a forced march would have brought them upon
this city. Public order is maintained. I consider it indis-
pensable for the protection of this country that the Govern-
ment should send to it a division of the army of the centre,
which may take up a position between the enemy and Madrid,
and thus frustrate the plans of Gomez, who is supposed to in-
tend keeping the capital in a state of alarm by frequent incur-
sions.—At Cuenca, 6th September.
" FERMIN CABALLERO."
By an express from Cuenca we learn that the division of
Espartero, under the command of Alaix, entered that town
on the Bth, and that the faction of Gomcz had passed by
the boundary of the province on the 7th, marching on
Chelva. It is to be supposed that the distance of twelve
leagues, at which our troops are from the faction, is occa-
sioned either by orders transmitted to Alaix to protect
Cuenca, and act in concert with the columns of Arragon
and Valencia, or that he is apprehensive of a countermarch
on the part of the enemy, or that the country has been ra-
vaged to such a degree as to render it impossible for our va-
liant soldiers to follow the same line of march without being
exposed to perish with hunger.
The Junta of Malaga has dissolved itself, and in its place
a Junta for providing arms and means of defence has been
formed, being the old concern under another name.
Puiz Samper and Asperoz have united their forces in
Soria for the purpose of opposing any expedition which the
insurgents may send across the Ebro.
A letter from Santander states that the ex-Minister of
Marine, Don Antonio Alcala Galiano, had left that port
for England in an English vessel, and that the Marquis
Miraflores had also sailed for England.
It was asserted last night that the Ministry was defini-
tively settled :—Minister of State, Calatrava : Finance,
Meadizabal ; Grace and Justice, Lopez ; Interior, Ole-
zaga ; Marine, Cuadra ; War, Rodil.—Eco del Cononercio.

Forty-three years have elapsed since the coronation of the
late Emperor, Francis I. His present Majesty, Ferdinand
I. as Emperor of Austria, but Ferdinand V., as King of
Bohemia, is 42 years old, small made, and a little under the
middle height, of a very benign and amiable expression of
countenance. Bohemia has not been an independent and
distinct kingdom since the time of Rodolph of Hapsburg ;
and very little of its history prior to that epoch is satisfac-
torily ascertained. Some old Bohemian manuscripts in the
Museum are, however, about to be translated, which will
throw some light upon the subject. " The misfortunes of
Ottocar, the last King of Bohemia," belong at present ra-
ther to the drama than to history.
Besides the coronation of the Empress, fixed for the 12th
inst., various ceremonies and festivities continue to be an-
nounced, among them a review, an illumination, and two
great popular fetes called Volks-feste.

ITALY.
A letter from Rome of the 10th inst. gives some details
concerning Don Miguel and the small number of Portu-
guese who compose his suite. The Infant, who used to
pass the greater part of the year in the country, has not
left Rome this year. Four persons, two of whom have
lately arrived from Portugal, have increased his little
Court, where more movement than formerly, and an un-
usual degree of affluence, have been remarked. It is said
that a considerable remittance on the banker Torlonia has
been sent from London and Paris for Don Miguel. He
receives many letters, and lately sent one to his partisans
at London. The Pontifical Court, that a year ago ne-
glected Don Miguel, and appeared embarrassed with its
guest, has for some time past paid him more attention. The
Chief Secretary of State, Capaccini, has lately returned a
visit paid him by the Prince.
A letter of the 6th inst., from Naples, says,—" The
King submitted with the utmost willingness to the per-
formance of quarantine. All the proper measures for his
landing had been taken, but having learned that the pas-
sengers of the other steamers were subjected to quarantine
on hoard their vessels, he declared that he would not form
an exception, but would share the common lot. The King
was only 108 hours in coming from Paris to Naples. The
Government has sent a physician to Trani, who declares
that the malady prevalent in that town is the fever usual at
this season."
