FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.
We have distrusted the reports that have been in circu-
lation respecti;:y., Abd-el-Rader ; and we acted prudently,
for while the Arabs ;'ere bringing the news of his death,
or, at least, of his captivity, to the province of Algiers, not
even a suspicion of such e‘ent: was entertained at Oran,
a province bordering on the domint.'ns of the Emir, and
from which we usually receive the most: correct accounts
of the affairs of Abd-el-Rader. The followit:ff is the letter
which we have received from our correspondent :
" ORAN, Nov. 12, 1838.—The Arabs inform us that
Abd-el-hider has sent for his Kalifat, and that the latter
having arrived from Muscara, has taken the comnvmd d
the troops encamped before Ain Madi.
" Abd-el-Rader will therefore return to the province,.
where his presence is said to be necessary."
We believe in fact that the slow progress of the siege
which he has undertaken obliges him to show himself
among his tribes, in order not to leave malicious reports
time to obtain credit.

The Emir is more intent than ever on destroying his;
adversary, and it is aGvvoca on good grounds that be him
vowed to cuter the city of the Tedgeni ; though it should
cost him much valuable time and his best soldiers. Ac—
cording to another letter the Emperor of Morocco has just
sent Abd-el Rader several pieces of cannon, and 2,000
muskets. A plan of the town of Air Madi is circulated at
Oran ; it is defended by 1,000 men; but provisions begin
to be scarce, and it is feared that they will be redueNi to
submit by the blockade.
The Itioniteur of this morning has no official part. It
was announced yesterday at the Palais that the family of
Fehr was going to bring an action for damages against the
soldier Belabre.

Don Manuel de Godoy, son of the Prince of the Peace,
is at Bordeaux. He comes from Madrid, and is going to
Paris and England.—Courrier de Bourdeaux, Nov. 23.
At the advanced hour at which we are obliged to go to
Press the English Journals have not arrived.--Lc Cox-

PORTUGAL.
(From a Second Edition of the Times.)
A Lisbon mail bas just arrived. It was brought to Fal-
mouth by the William Fawcett steamer, which left the
Tagus on the 18th inst., bound for London, but was
obliged to put into the former port in consequence of
adverse weather.

The baptism of the young Prince, the Duke of Oporto,.
was celebrated on the 14th with all the pomp and ceremony
which our correspondent's letter received by the last packet,
which sailed on that day, anticipated.
A representation was lately made by the British mer-
chants to the Portuguese Government for the appointment
of one day in each month for the hearing of causes in
which British subjects may be parties. The representation
has been duly listened to, and the judicial authorities have
ordered arrangements to be made in accordance with the
wish of the memorialists.
The following is an extract from our correspondent's let-
ter of the 18th inst. :
" The Tagus steam-packet, Commander Symons, arrived
yesterday from London and Falmouth with the mails of
the 10th inst., bringing his Excellency Lord Howard de
Walden and family, who resumes his functions as Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court
of her Most Faithful Majesty
" It is with regret I have to add, that her Majesty the
Queen is so indisposed from the effects of anothet-kolclas
to be obliged keep, her•lied; while' Mt' happy to- state
that the. Royal infant is clqinowell.
" Arrived on the 14th instant, the British .btar4

On Monday night last a meeting of fully ten thou-
sand people took place at Trowbridge, by torch-light, to
adopt measures for collecting the national rent io the
district. It was announced that Mr. Henry Vincent and
Mr. W. P. Roberts would attend, on their return from
Dorsetshire. About six o'clock the people began to,
assemble at the barracks, near Trowbridge. The pro-
cession formed, and banners were placed in suitable positions,
two hundred torches were lighted, and placed in distances
along the procession which extended full a mile on the
road. The announcement of the arrival of Messrs. Vin-
cent and Roberts was received with hearty cheering. The
procession then moved on, and the effect was truly impos-
ing—on entering the town it was one blaze of light. The
procession passed over the bridge, through the marktt
place. There could not have been less than two thousand
women in the procession. On reaching Timbrel-street the
procession halted, and took up its position opposite a bal-
cony, from which it was arrangedthemn speaw. p

dress the meeting. Mr. Carrier,
and Mr. Vincent addressed the meeting, and the resolu.-
tions proposed were carried. Three cheers were giver!
for the National Convention, and the meeting separated.
AN INSIDE PASSENGER.—A worthy Magistrate
of a neighbouring county, who sometimes handles the reins.
and cracks the whip en the box of a stage coach, was re-
cently lecturing an unfortunate wight who was brought be-
fore him, and ended by consigning him to prison for a te-
dious month. Hodge, who did not like to lose a mouthful
of fresh air, saluted his Worship with a nod of recognition,
and exclaimed, " I zay, coachee, can't you manage to
book us for an outside place ?---come, try ; not particular,
you know ; but, wound it, the inside ow'nt suit my consti-
tution." The Magistrate, however, was inexorable, and the
offender was handed, with a regular time bill, to the guar-
dian of belts and bars.—Essex Herald.
