FOREIGN INTELLIG ENCE.

PARIS, MA— 21.—The following details ap-
pear in the Gazette Universelle of Lyons of the
17th:—

" The most perfect tranquillity prevailed yesterday during
the whole duration of the Sitting of the Departmental Col-
lege. Through a wise foresight, the authorities displayed an
imposing force. At half-past nine in the evening, a crowd of
young men, the greater nuifiber appearing to belong to the
poorer class, traversed the Place des Terreaux, but without
making any disturbance. On their arrival, however, in la Rue
Merciere, shouts were heard of more than one sort. Those of
' Vive la Charte,' did not satisfy sufficiently the patriotism of
these pretended Liberaux, and shouts of Vive Napoleon 11.,'
Vive Corcelles,' ' A bas les Suisses,' followed. A song of
sanguinary memory (La Illarseillaise ) was even sung. A pa-
trol of Horse Chasseurs having been met by these pretended
friends of the. Charter, and consequently of the laws, was
obliged to get out of the way to avoid danger, and a chasseur
was knocked off his horse by a blow from a stone. Another
groupe attacked Port des Celestines, occupied by the Swiss,
and broke the windows of the guard-house; some muskets were
fired by the soldiers in the Port, but only to intimidate, as
it does not appear that any person was hurt. Shouts aux acmes
were then heard, and but for the arrival of a strong detachment
of chasseurs, the post; on account of its small number, would
have been forced to extremities. The whole regiment of chas-
seurs left the barracks, and dispersed the groupes formed in
different quarters of ie city, amongst others in the Place de
la Prefecture; some persons were wounded,and others arrested."

A letter from Lyons state, that on the 16th a
regiment of cavalry arrived there from Vienne-r-
-(lsere.)—(CollSiliutionnel.)
Letters from the frontiers of Spain, of the 15th,
say—

`` On the Bth, the Royalists, who had withdrawn to the Sa-
nitary Cordon, returned to Spain, to continue their operations
against the enemies of the Altar and the Throne. The 9th, at
break of day, they were attacked by the Constitutional forces,
consisting of troops of the line and militia ; the latter were in
great numbers, and the combat was brisk, but the Royalists
triumphed, making 99 of their enemies bite the dust, and en,
tirely dispersing the rest. In the province of Vich, there exists
an assemblage of defenders of the faith, which augments every
day, and which in all its rencontres with the Constitutionalists

has 'obtained some advantage. The-Constitutional troops which
left Barcelona to march against the Royalists were defeated by
the latter at the village of Ordal, six leagues from that city.—
The .greatest terror prevailed at Barcelona in Consequence of
this event. We expect further details. A division of Royalists
1,000 strong has entered Villafranca de Panades; the people
received them with enthusiasm and those who were able to
bear arms joined them. The insurrection is general in the
district of Manreza, where there has .been formed a considerable
division of defenders of the faith, who operate with success for
the triumph of the good cause. Almost the whole of Catalonia
is in arms against the Constitutional system, and soon all the
provinces will imitate this example. A scandalous and afflict-
ing scene has taken place at Bilboa ; a Jew; said to be a
Frenchman of Bordeaux, was beaten in the public square by
the French Officers who were in the suite of Berton. Their
pretext for ill-treating him was a suspicion that he was a mes-
senger of the Police."—( Qztotidienne.)
Lm,' MAY 14.—Commercial letters karYr'.s
Naples, brought by the last courier from Italy,
indicate as near at hand if not a total, at least a
partial change in the Neapolitan Ministry.
Since the end of April, the number of foreign-
ers at Rome has considerably diminished, many
of them having proceeded to Naples. Passports,
it is stated, have been granted to some who in-

tended to go to Sicily.
The, American squadron in the port of Leg-
horn will, it is stated, not delay setting sail for
the Archipelago. It is reported, that one of the
Islands in the Archipelago will be placed at the
disposal of the Americans. W e have learnt no-
thing as to the authenticity of this rumour.
BALE, MAY 15.—General Antler Maur, who
some time since had a dispute in the Nether-
lands, where he formerly commanded one of the
regiments in the service of that Power, has an-
nounced that he is about to form a Swiss regi-
ment, for the service of Naples. He has address-

ed some of the small cantons to obtain authority
to enlist companies in their territories for this re-
giment, and which, it is said, he has succeeded in
obtaining.
NAPLES, NEI Y I.—The Court-martial esta-
blished at Potenza has condemned to death 22
individuals implicated in a revolt, which was at-
tempted in the month of July last, in the com-
mune of Laurenzana. Of those condemned, Jo-

seph Caffarolli, and Leonard Abbate, have suf-
fered their punishment ; the others have been re-
commended to the royal mercy.
CORFU, Aran. 6.—The following is the Mes-
sage (at length) sent on the 29. d of March,
by the Lord High Commissioner to the Legisla-
tive Assembly : . _

" When I had the honour, on the 4th of this month, to ad-
dress this Assembly, the Executive Government was very far
from having any intention to prolong the effects of Martial Law
which is now in force in the several islands—and the Bill, the
first clause of which expressly declares the cessation of Martial
Law in the respective islands, without exception, was on the
point of being presented to the Assembly.
" But it is with regret that I am obliged to inform the As-
sembly, that with the concurrence of his Highness the Presi-
dent and of the Senate, it appears advisable to delay for a short
interval the presentation of this Bill. It is necessary that I
should develope to the Assembly the precise grounds on which
the Government founds its decision.

" I am obliged to my great sorrow to announce to you that a
violent outrage and act of aggression on the lonian territory and
its people have been committed by one of the parties engaged
in war in our neighbourhood. I have ordered the official, re-
ports on the subject to be laid before you. You will see by
them that the squadron of the Insurgent Greeks which is at
present in those seas has made a landing on Santa Mauro., pil-
laged the property of the inhabitants, in contempt of the pro-
tection of his Majesty, and exposed the population of these
States in general to the danger of the plague.
" I shall not fail to demand an exact, immediate, and entire
satisfaction for this unprovoked insult and aggression,which has
been produced, I fear, by the great indulgence purposely and
universally shewn by all the British Authorities in favour of
these cruizers, notwithstanding reiterated acts on their part not
justified by any principle recognised in the contests between ci-
vilized nations.

" In this state of things, martial law must necessarily remain
in force for a short space of time, but longer than 1 contem-
plated at the opening of the present Session. But Ido not
doubt that the present difficulty will be shortly removed, and
then the Executive Government will be able to follow its first
intention ; because I am persuaded that this aggression, though
inexcusable in itself; will prove to have originated in the insub-
ordination of a force of an irregularmature, and not from a preme-
ditated design of offering an insult to the lonian Government,
which enjoys the high and powerful protection of his Majesty."

SPAIN.

MADRID, MAC 10.—The King during his stay
at Aranjuez led, if it may be so said, the life of a
private individual. It was the cavalry regiment
of Almanza, said to be very constitutional, which
served as his guard. His Majesty often rode out
in the environs of, that town, and constantly re-
fused the escort of this regiment, preferring to
be accompanied by two or three forest guards.—
The Colonel of the regiment, however, being re-
sponsible for the safety of the Monarch, sent. es-
corts every day wherever his Majesty directed
his course.

The chain of convicts set out two days since,
consisting of 11g annungst whom the
