FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

' JULY 6.—A letter from Perpignan, of
the 28th June, contradicts the statement of the
capture of Fort d'Urgel, by the Anti-Constitu-
tionalists of Catalonia.

It is stated that the number of French troops
which compose the first line of the Sanitary Cor-
don amounts to 35,000 men, and the second line
to 25,000.—(Constitutionnel.)
A report was circulated at Bayonne at the de-
parture of the courier, .that the permanent Com-
mittee had. declared the country to be in dan-
ger.—(Quotidienne.)
It is stated, that of the number of persons
charged with being implicated la the affair of
General Berton, 45 have already been placed in
a state of accusation.

The States in the South of Germany lollow
up their system of excluding the wines and
brandies .©f France, either by absolute prohi-
bitions or by e•xhorbitant duties. The King of
Wurtembere has just published a decree abso-
lutely prohibiting them, and the import duty im-
posed by Bavaria is 2f. 63e. a bottle, which is
equivalent tea prohibition, even for wines of the
:first quality;-
However threatening the whole of these mea-
sures-appear, we have reasons for thinking that
the•-.fears manifested in this respect by a part of
the public are very extravagant. In the first
place, nature will not admit of Bavaria, Wur-
teruberg, the Grand Duchy of Baden, and Swit'.
.zerland, producing good ordinary wines in suffi-
cient quantity. Though in the same latitudes
with Champagne, the greater elevation renders
the temperature colder; a fetv favourable expo-
sures, such as the Johannesberg, Mount Liest,
near Wurtzburg, the hills washed by the Upper
Rhine, opposite Basle, form only exceptions. We
believe then that the South of Cermany will be
obliged to supply the place of the wines- of Burgun-
dy and Frauche Comte by the red wines of Hungary.
Now, the latter already too dear, considering their
quality, mill be still raised in price by an in-
creased consumption. Austria, therefore, will
be the gaiu'er•by the prohibition of French wines.
Now, cannot the able Statesmen possessed by
Bavaria and Wertemberg discover certain politi-
cal reasons of a higher order, which we will not
develope, and which render it advisable for the
South of Germany to prefer friendly relations
with France? We do not believe these prohi,
bitions will be of long continuance ; but, sup-
posing them to be so,, the result is not necessarily
a diminution in the sale of our wines. Those
which bear sea carriage will always have a vent
in the North and in America ; those which can
only bear a short land carriage will suffer at first
from the German prohibitions, but•th'e improve-
ment in our circumstances, the result of the in-
creased price of home cattle, will increase the
home consumption.—(Journal des Dahals.)

SEMLIN, JUNE 18.—Since the advantages gained
over the Turks at Trikala, Larissa, Suli, and
Zeitouni, the Greeks hope that the expedition
projected for the third time against the Morea
will not succeed, and that their cause is not des-
perate. The best informed men, however, still
tremble for the future ; their principal enemies,
the English, being very active, and having hither-
to done them more mischief than the Turks them-
selves: But for the English, all the fortresses in
the Morea would have fallen into the hands of
the Greeks, who would boldly assume the offen-
sive, if they had not continually in their rear
their most powerful enemy ; as it is, they are
compelled to wait for the union of all their forces,
and their enterprises can only be partial.
The most singular and contradictory reports
are in circulation respecting Chourschid Pacha.
Some say that he has been poisoned ; others that
he has gone over to the ' Greeks ; at all events,
it appears to be certain that he is extremely irri-
tated at the conduct of the Porte, and that for
some months he has made no movement unless
when compelled to it by the attacks of the Greeks.
It is said that the favourite of the Sultan, Haleb
Effendi, who is the sworn enemy of Chourschid,
gave him the command in chief against Ali, to
draw upon him the fate of his predecessors, who
never having been able to overcome Ali, had
fallen under the disgrace of the Sultan, but de-
ceived in his hopes by the death of Ali Haleb
Effendi, he availed himself of the negociatio'ns of
Chourschid with the Greeks, for the ransom of his
harem taken at Tripoliza, to render him suspect-
ed with the Sultan, who had a sister in the harem.
The Sultan, in consequence, ordered the harem
to be conveyed to Constantinople. It is easy to
imagine that this order gave great offence to
Chourschid, who also sees that the reinforce-
ments promised to him are withheld by the in-
trigues of Haleb. The Greeks have been en-
abled to profit by all these circumstances, and
have delayed for some time their total ruin.
The defection of the Albanians may have also
contributed to the turn which affairs have taken.

NUREMBERG, JUNE 28.—The.Bill by which
great variety of foreign manufactures are per-
mitted to be imported into England, ware-
housed, and then exported to the East and West
Indies, or to North and South America, has ex-
cited considerable sensation at Berlin ; but there
are persons who think that, as far as Prussian
manufactures are cot.cerned, ,very little is gained
by this Bill; for, taking it for granted that they
were equal in quality to the English manufac-
tures, there would be a great difference in their
prices. This difference would cause those who
undertook to make considerable consignments to
the East and West Indies, to lose rather than
gain. So long as machinery is so sparingly em-
ployed among us—so long as many of our manu-
facturers reside in great towns, where they and
their workmen have to pay high prices for pro-
visions, and when they have too many tempta-
tions to indulge in an expensive style orliving—
so long as the Prussian Government does not in-
troduce, like the English, a lottery of manufac-
tured goods, and purchase the stock of the ma-
nufacturers, to place it in the Government ma.
gazirrfs, our prices .cannot possibly support the

competition with those of the English. The
Saxons will be able to derive much more ad-
vantage from sending their goods on the new
plan than the Prussians can, because in Saxony
most of the manufactories are in the country
where provisions are cheap, and the wages of the
workmen low.

JUNE 29.—Before quitting the head-quarters
of the Guards, the Emperor of Russia had
long conferences with the Generals in Chief,
Sackers, Wittgenstein, and Otivaroff. These
Generals, and the Chiefs of their Staffs, re-
turned to their head-quarters after the depar-
ture of the Emperor. It will doubtless shortly
be known what arrangements have been ordered
respecting the new positions of their armies, and
we shall see whether the reports circulated by
the partisans of the Turks, " That the Russian
armies will retire into the interior of the empire,"
will be confirmed.—There is no doubt that such
a march of the Russians into the interior will
confirm all the reports of peace ; but there is
reason to believe, even according to private
accounts from Vienna, that affairs are not yet ar-
rived at this point, the differences between the
Porte and Russia not being arranged. Thus,
notwithstanding what is said by the Austrian
Observer, it is asserted that the Porte exacts a
preliminary step on the part of Russia, that is to
say, the sending a new Ambassador to Constan-
tinople; it being alleged that there have been
no difficulties with Russia, nor any rupture of
the negociations, which were only suspended by
the departure of M. de Strogonoff.—The Porte
demands, therefore, in some respects implicitly,
that the Court of Russia should disavow the
conduct of that Minister; and it is not believed,
whatever may be the dispositions of the influen-
tial Ministers in the Russian Cabinet, that Russia
will consent, at least that she will not avow her-
self the slave of Austria. It is also said that the
Porte will not evacuate Moldavia and Wallachia
,until after the arrival of a new Russian Ambas-
sador at Constantinople.—lt is reported that
.epidemic maladies prevail in Natolia and Vol-
hy nia. •

ANCONA, JUNE 20.—The States of the Sove-
reign Pontiff, which were in all times the refuge
of persecuted Christians, are now the land of
safety for the Greeks. Not a day passes without
vessels ,arriving here laden with the wrecks of
the population of the islands of the Archipelago :
11l persons who escaped from the massacre at
Scio have been received in the Lazaretto of this
city. This conduct is doubtless opposite to that
pursued by the agents of the British Government,
who close all- the ports of the lonian Islands
against the Gre-ers, and even constrain the refu-
gees to abandon them !—The Pope, who has nei-
ther army nor navy, but a militia entirely- evan-
gelical, cannot be at all formidable to the Otto-
man Porte. We do not doubt, that in conse-
quence of the plan for the extirpation of Chris-
tianity uninterruptedly pursued by the Ottoman
Porte, the Pontifical States will be enriched by.
an industrious Greek population, rendered doubly
interesting by their attachment to the religion of
their fathers, and by unmerited misfortunes.—
The Greeks who are here say, that they have
been sacrificed by Russia, who fed them for fifty
years with promises and hopes ; they all protest
against the authority of the intrusive Patriarch,
whom the Sultan appointed in the room of the mar-
tyr Gregory, and through gratitude, as well as
from conviction, the greater part of the Greeks,
lay and ecclesiastic, already manifest a desire to
attach themselves to the Roman Catholic religion.
The Bishops and religieux of the Order of St.
Bazil, being celibataires, see no difficulty in this
union ; and it is probable that his Holiness, as
he lately did in favour of the Muscovites, will
permit the secular priests to preserve their wives,
and to follow in this respect the discipline of the
Eastern Church time, and GOD will do the rest.
In the mean time the Holy Father covers himself
with glory, and his name will be blessed in all
future ages. The Papal authorities, without
being stopped by any of those considerations to
which we have alluded, have given succour to
every one, and evinced a charity perfectly dis-
interested, without having recourse to vain sub-
scriptions or to the love of notoriety, often more
at work than the love of humanity.

ST. PETERSBURGH, JUNE 18.—Amongst the articles im-
ported here this year, we remarks oats, which never used to be
brought hither from abroad. • The house of Mollwo and Co.
has already had four cargoes this year, and others are said to
be expected. In the night of the 13th of June there was here,
and in all the North-Western Provinces of Russia, a severe
frost, which has done, as it is said, much dhmage to vegetation,
especially to the young potatoes. His Excellency Count Ro-
manzow, Chancellor of the Empire, is shortly expected in this
capital.
Our course of Exchange has materially improved within a
few days, on account of the continuance of reports favourable to
peace, and it is very probable that it will rise still higher.
Letters from Kambschatka of the 30th of November, 1821;
mention the arrival of several vessels in the harbour of St.
Peter and S/. Paul, viz. :—On the Bth of September, the sloop
Otkritie (Discovery), and on the 21st of September, the Bla-
gonamerinnie (the Meanwell) from Cronstadt, under the com-
mand of Captain Wasilieu, of thp Navy : on the 14th of Sep-
tember the transport Michael, from Ochotzk, and on the 2d of
October, the Dionis and the San Pedro, belonging to the Aulic
Counsellor, Dobel. The Discovery and Meanwell put to sea
again on the 16th of October : while they were in port there
were several fetes ; one of the most remarkable was that given
on the 12th of October in honour of the celebrated English pe-
destrisn traveller, Captain Cochrane, who intended to spend
the winter at St. Peter and St. Paul. A ship from the Sand-
wich Islands, manned entirely with natives, had likewise been
there, and the people were very well received. They lived on
very friendly'terms with the inhabitants ; the Kambschatdales
in particular were much pleased with them. On Sunday they
visited the churches, and paid great attention to the service,
and were at all times very cheerful.
STOCKHOLM, JUNE 21.—8 y a royal ordinance, all Swedish
vessels are permitted to trade with the continent of South Ame-
rica, and to encourage their trade. The reduction of the Impart
Duties, which has hitherto been allowed only in certain cases,
is extended to all articles of South American origin, import-
ed into Sweden by Swedish ships.
Accounts from East Gothland say, that a terrible fire has laid
waste the great forest Kolmarden.
HAMBURGH, JULY 2.—To-day being a holiday, no course
of exchange is published. Business was done on London at
37. 4., Paris 26. 5-32., Amsterdam 1054.—( Hamburgh Papers,

SPAIN.

PROROGATION OF THE CORTES.

We have received by express Madrid Papers
from the 27th ult. to the Ist inst. inclusive, from
which we have extracted some interesting intelli-
gence. A Deputation of the Cortes haring wait-
ed upon the King on the 28th to receive his com-
mands relative to the close, of the Session, his
Majesty proceeded in state on Sunday the 30th

ult., to perform the august ceremony of ter'
niinating their legislative labours. When his
Majesty arrived at the Hall of the Congress, he
was again received by a Deputation of the same
Body. Her Majesty and the Infants accompanied
him. The Speech 'from the Throne, which will
be-found below, is chiefly remarkable for the
constitutional spirit which it breathes, for the re-
solute
firmness with which the King professeS
thle determination of his Government to support
public credit, by adhering strictly to the stiPu"
lations of existing contracts and the confidence
with which it announces hopes of a restoration 01
tranquillity to' the disturbed districts. Unhar
pily for the last topic, the occurrences which his
Majesty had witnessed on his way to the Hall 01
the Cortes, and those which took place at his
palace, and under his eye after his retUrn, shew.
an exaltation of the public mind, not much
calculated to inspire perfect belief in his flatter'
ing anticipations. We shall first give his Majesty
speech,-- together with the President's reply, set
then state the particulars of the disturbance t°
which we have alluded, with such further 110"
