FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PAars, APRIL 16.—We are assured that M.
de Serre, who has left Paris as Ambassador from
France to Naples, is cliargcd to recommend to
the King to listen to the wishes of his people,
and give them a charter. This fact, which how-
ever we cannot guarantee, would be a very
manifest proof of the progress of knowledge, and
the triumph of constitutional ideas, in Europe.
We are informed, in a manner which removes
all doubt on the subject, that the Duke of Dal-
berg was recalled from Turin, and replaced by
M. de la Tour du Pin, because he advised the
King of Sardinia to govern according to the noble
and wise principles which his own Sovereign had
proclaimed in 1814, and not to maintain with a
blind obstinacy the decree by which his Sardinian
Majesty on his restoration announced that he
would pay no 'regard to any thing that had been
done for the preceding 20 years. M. de Dalberg,
at the period of the revolution of Naples, also
forsaw the danger which menaced the equilibrium
of the political Powers of Europe if the Austrians
advanced into that country with their armies. It
doubtless was not expected that two years after
it would be necessary to make concessions, with-
out which the maintenance of the European Mo-
narchies must become daily more problematical.
It is now announced that the departure of
General Donnadieu for the frontiers of Spain will
not take place, and that he will receive another
destination. It appears that this cha-nge is the
consequence of explications between the Govern-
ments of France and Spain.

APRIL 17.—The Courier Francais of this day
contains the Note of M. Zea, presented to the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, and to the' foreign
Ambassadors, requiring the recognition of the re-
public of Columbia. This document is extremely
long. The following is an extract :

"the intentions of this Government are as follow :

" 1. That the .Government of Columbia recognizes all exist.
ing governments, whatever may be their origin and their form.
2. That it will not communicate with Governments which
do not on their side recognize the Government of Columbia.
" 3. That all commerce, access, and abode in the ports and
territory of Columbia are open and ensured, with full liberty,
safety, tolerance, and reciprocity, to all nations whose Govern-
ments shall recognize that of Columbia.
" 4. That • those same ports and territory are, and shall re-
main, closed against the subjects of those states which shall not
recognize that of Columbia.
" 5. That delays shall be established for admission to the
ports and territory of Columbia; proportioned to the delay
which the proposed recognition shall experience.
" 6. That measures will be taken by the Government of Co-
luMbia to prohibit all merchandise coming -from countries the
Governments of which refuse or delay to recognize it, &c.
" Paris, April 8, 1822."
The Spanish Americans have assumed an im-
posing attitude._; and what
.particularly merits
attention is, that they have formed, at least in
Mexico, governments' infinitely less anarchical,
infinitely less ponderous, than that of the Cortes
of Cadiz. On the other hand, in the important
propositions which were made in the Extraordi-
nary Cortes, and which are to be discussed in
the present Cortes, M. Golfin, agreeing with the
American Deputies, has put foremost the idea of
an Hispano-American Confederation, an idea
which has nothing bizarre in the eyes of whoever
knows the national pride of the Spaniards of
both worlds, their desire of being a great power,
even the greatest of all (according to their ora-
tors)-; and lastly, their respectable attachment
to their ancient manner's, their habits, and parti-
cularly to their religion. It is impossible there
should not soon be a negociation between the
mother Spain and her Transatlantic children. It
is of great urgency to draw from this state of af-
fairs all the national advantages of which it is
capable. These advantages may become im-
mense to Frances our manufactures, our man-
ners, our literature, are popular in Mexico and
Peru. The English and the Anglo-Americans,
notwithstanding their recent relations, are not
liked, unless it is at Buenos Ayres. France can
and may have the chief share in the commerce
of these new nations. But—help thyself—Hea-
ven will assist thee.
