FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS, APRIL 25.—The king yesterday pre-
sidi.d at a Council of Ministers.

It is stated that the Government are sending
ptroops into the cantons in the neighbourhood of
Paris, which are a prey to fires. It is with terror
that the spread of this scourge is witnessed in
.the neighbouring departments; it prevails in
l'Oise, la Somme, la Seine, and reaches to the
gates of the capital.
A report is in circulation that intelligence has
.been received at Marseilles, of a Revolution in
the lonian Isles: The population are said to
'have taken up arms against the English, and to
-ha;re proclaimed their independence.
A German Gazette states, that some French
Gendarmes, disguised, proceeded to a village in
Alsace on the banks of the Rhine, to arrest
some individuals implicated in the conspiracy of
Belfort, amongst whom is mentioned the son of
General Berton. Their s• arches were unsuc-
cessful.

Tuesday a duel took place in the Bois de Bou-
logne between'two Students of Law, which pro-
duced deplorable consequences ; one of the
seconds, through the awkwardness of one of the
principals, was killed.
We have received from London, by a private
channel, accounts in which we place much con-
fidence. It appears certain that the Porte in-
tended to address to the Austrian and English
Ministers a very confidential expose of the diffi-
culties in which the Turkish Government finds
itself, placed. It is believed, that in this expose
the Porte will insist on the absolute necessity,
on the part of the Sultan, of rejecting the Ulti-
matum offered by Russia, on the ground that the
Turkish army and its Chiefs have positively
declared for war; Ind consequently the acceptance
of the conditions offered by Russia would lead
to an insurrection, and occasion the fall of the
Turkish Government. It is also believed, that
.this confidential expose has been actually sub-
mitted to the respective Governments in harmony
with Turkey, and even to Russia; that the latter
has, in consequence, consented to diminish her
pretensions, and that there was great reason to
hope that war would be avoided. Lastly, it is
stated that the fear that a general insurrection in
Italy, France, and Germany, might take place
at the moment Russia should engage in a war
against Turkey, has contributed to the conclu-
sion of these arrangements.—(Gazette de France.)

APRIL 26.—Last night two messengers from
the North arrived at the Russian Embassy.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM GERMANY.

The last number of the Frankfort Journal
contains an article under the head of Constanti-
nople, March 23, which says not a word of any
new negotiations relative to the diplomatic note
of the Divan, of the 20th of February ; it is as
follows :

" Constantinople, March 23.
" The vessels bearing the Austrian flag, which had been de-
tained, have been confiscated and sent to the arsenal, where the
• Captains and crews, who are Greeks, are imprisoned. These
vessels were destined for the insurgent Greeks.
ti The vessel bearing the Russian flag, 'which had also been
headined, has likewise been confiscated and sent to the arsenal.
This vessel, like the others, was destined for the insurgent
Greeks. The Captain, who is a Greek and established at
Patinos, took refuge in the palace of the Austrian Internuncio.
The Capitan Pacha demanded him. The Count de Lutzow,
?i,good faith, ordered him to be given up, and caused him to
be accompanied by a Dragoman and an Employe of the Chan-
- eery. The Capitan Pacha maintained that he was a Raya,
and caused him to be detained, as well as his crew.

" It may easily be conceived how painful and afflicting all
these events are to the Austrian Internuncio. Hitherto he has
been unable to obtain either the liberty of the crews or the resti-
tution of the vessels."

AUGSBURG APRIL 18.--The Algemeine Zei-
lung has the following article from Constanti-
nople, dated March 23 :

" On the 10th, the Austrian and English AmbassadOrs
transmitted to the Reis"Effendi a last and very pressing note,
again urging the Porte very seriously to accept, without ob-
jection' the Russian Ultimatum, and to transmit another note
instead of that of the 28th of February. The Porte, instead of
replying, hastened its armaments with the greatest activity,
a.nitlid not condescend to answer either of the two Ambassa-
dors. Thus the hope of maintaining peace vanishes more and
more. The two Ambassadors sent this intelligence to-day by
special messengers to their respective Courts."
Official intelligence was received to-day front
Persia, that the son of the late 'Prince Ali Ker-
man Schah had re-commenced hostilities. The
obstinacy of the Grand Seignor, who had ordered
the Pacha of Bagdad to continue the war, has
determined the Schah of Persia formally to de-
clare war. lie was about to set out from Te-
heran with a considerable corps d'armee, which
he commands in person. II is advanced guard
had effected a junction with the troops of his
grandson, and the army was marching upon the
Pachalic of Erzerum.
APRIL. 19.—j,etters from Frankfort of the
15th say—
" We are still in the same uncertainty respecting the nego-
ciattons of the mediating Powers at Constantinople ; and even
at Vienna, which is one hundred leagues nearer the theatre of
nesociation,' the public are in such uncertainty in this respect,
that we receive from thence letters, in which we are urgently
asked for information as to the question of war or peace. At
Vienna there are very few persons who are truly informed as to.
the actual state of.the negociations with Turkey, and these per-
sons maintain the greatest silence. In the commercial circle of
that city only some great houses appear to be better informed of
what is passing,. but they have intimate relations with the Go-
vernment, and impart their news with extraordinary circum-
spection. j.
" Under extsting circumstances the public securities are more
than ever exposed to the mance-ay:es of jobbers. Their price
varies every day, but keeps up higher than could be expected.
Who can say what influence a war in the East may have upon
the relations between England and Russia, notwithstanding the
best informed diplomatists assert that the best understanding
still subsists between these two Powers ?

" The Austrian General, M. de Langenau, President of the
Commission of the Military Confederation, has been recalled to
Vienna. lie received'the order of his recal tHa day before yes-
terday by Estafette."

In opposition .to the accounts from Zante.of
the sth ult: in the Frankfort Papers, stating the
Greeks to have been defeated in the late naval
actions with the Turks, letters of the 6th ult.
from Santa Maura are quoted, which again assert
that they were the victors, and repeat the details
of the captures made by them and their subse6
9uent-operations, nearly in the terms of the first
reports on the subject, which reached us by, the
way of.TrieSte. .In a political essay in the'Cou.
rier Frangais, Rdssia is held forth as the only
power which has 'derived any' solid advantage
from tileitijudicious system of the Holy Alliance.

APRIL W.—Accounts rrom Malta of the 16th
March state, that the garrison Of Coron,besieged
by the Greeks, had made a sortie, but had been
repulsed with loss. At Navarin they assembled
.on the Coast on the arrival 9f flie Turkish fleet,
