FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PMI'S, DEC. 18.—T1; Moniteur contains the
following article :-
44 On the 12th of last November there was in-
serted in the Moniteur a notice relative to the
adoption in France of a system of signals in use
-iu England, and which is designated under the
name of an Universal Telegraphic Language.—
His Excellency the Minister of Marine and Co-
lonies addressed, upon this subject, the following
circular, dated Dec. 17, to the Commissioners of
Marine at Dunkirk, Havre, St. Malo, Nantes,
Bordeaux, Bayonne, and Marseilles :
•' SlR,—Messrs. Luscombe, agents of the Association called
Lloyd's, at London, have caused to be translated into French
a work entitled " Universal Telegraphic Language, or Code of
Signals."

" By means of this work, and of the signals which it contains,
the ships of France and England may carry on, at sea, easy
an,d certain communications.
" Vessels provided with this work, and with these signals,
may convey, with greater rapidity, assistance to others in dis-
tress, or demand assistance themselves : they will be able to
give and receive important indications as to shoals that should
be avoided, what courses should be followed, and with respect
to anchorages, the entrance of ports, &c.
" There are various reasons which combine to induce the
French navy to adopt a system already practised in England,
and which', in many circumstances, may be attended with re-
sults the most beneficial to humanity, to commerce, and to na-

vigation in general.
" I have, therefore, given orders in the five military ports,
that the Commanders of King's ships should be successively
supplied with the work and the signals in question; and I in-
struct you to inform the Chamber of Commerce of this.

M. de Chateaubriand will not be here so soon
as he was expected. His departure from Verona
has been retarded a few days ; he would not
leave that town until the 13th inst.
•Slarshal Suchet has not had a private audience
',with the Duke d'Angouleme ; he only paid his
respects to his Royal Highness.—(Journal des
Debats.)
M. Sierra, one of the persons attached to the
Spanish embassy at London, has lately come to
France, on his way as a courier extraordinary
from London to Madrid. The mission with
which he is charged, we are assured, is of the
highest importance ; at least he travels with such
speed, that, contrary to usage, he did not enter
Paris ? and his journey was only known at the
Spanish Embassy by a letter communicating his
destination to M. the Duke de Sass Lorenzo.--
(Journal de Paris.)
General Quesada has deemed it consonant
with his honour, publicly to disavow certain ex-
- pressions imputed to him by the French Liberaux,
with the view of exciting fears, as to the chance
of a war with the Spanish Descamisados, We
(L'Etoi/e) hasten to promulgate the energetic
reply of this Defender of the Faith to the calum-
nies of our Revolutionists :
" TO THE EDITOR.
" Sin,—l am informed that several persons affirm they have
heard me say, that the day on which the French army enters
Spain, the Royalists would unite with the Revolutionists in re-
pulsing them. They who attribute such language to me, do
not know the Spanish Royalists. The Royalists of Spain are
united to the Royalists of France, as firmly as are the Liberaux
of France to the Liberaux of Spain, and, inasmuch as the Cor-
tes of Spain would not refuse aid to the Convention, if it still
existed in France, we also, subjects of a Bourbon, would not
refuse the aid of a King of France, the head of this august race.
"jUre should be happy, on the contrary, to see the white flag
appear as a trophy of deliverance on the very soil where the
tricoloured flag floated to enslave us. A Bourbon would re-
=deem the evils to which Buonaparte subjected us, and it is
under triumphal arches that a French Royalist army would
march on its way to Madrid. The whole population would
spontaneously join the French, and the news of its approach
would act with electric effect in all our provinces. We did not
refuse the aid of the English and Portuguese against Buona-
parte ; how, then, can we reject the aid of the French, our na-
tural allies, to annihilate revolution ? If the Catalonians, the
Arragonese, the Navarrese, are astonished at any thing, it is
that they are still waiting the arrival of the French.
" I have the honour to be, &c

VIENNA, DEC. 4.—Our funds have fallen con-
siderably within these few days, in consequence
of an agreement by which, in the interval be-
tween the Ist of August, 1823, and the first of
January, 182 G, the Government will give to the
National Bank the suns of thirty millions, in
monthly payments, for the redemption of the
Vienna currency, but will issue new Bonds
instead. As the Bank will be hereby dispensed
for a long time from alienating its shares, and the
Bonds will only be issued according to the
monthly payments extending over a considerable
'period, it is to be hoped that our Funds will
speedily rise again.
