FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.

PARIS, DEC. 10.—The llioniteztr of this morning con-
tains nothing but what we knew before. There is no news
from Constantina to-day, either in the Paris Journals or
those of Marseilles.

A letter from Tunis of the 20th Nov., says—" The
Turkish Brigantine Deve has just landed at Goletha an
officer of the Sultan's Guard, with despatches, which he
immediately carried to the Bardo. He has others for the
Bey of Contantina, but it is most likely that he will not be
permitted to proceed to that place. When this officer
landed, the Port Captain told him that in all probability
Constantina was in the hands of the French. He replied
that this did not affect his mission.

The Journal La France says—" La France was again
seized yesterday evening. We presume that it was for
having quoted the short reflection which the Gazette made
on. the seizure of the preceding day ; for we have just learnt
that it has likewise been seized." The Gazette de France,
in fact, announces that it has been seized twice.

The Bayonne and Bordeaux Journals received this morn-
ing do not dispel the uncertainty respecting Bilboa. The
only fact which appears pretty certain, is that the Carlists,
presuming that Espartero's attack might be successful, and
not being willing to risk the loss of their artillery, began on
the 3d to withdraw it—that in consequence the siege was
suspended, but the Carlists had not abandoned their posi-
tions. J t may, however, be presumed, that when once their
artillery is safe, they will suffer Espartero to come to Bil-
boa without much resistance.—Journal die Commerce,

BOURSE, QUARTER TO FOUR.—The French funds fell to-day,
not so much because of the decline of prices in London on
Thursday last, as from a desire of the speculators to realize.
In Spanish Actives a great deal of business was done. Large
purchases in that stock were made by highly respectable houses.
It rose at one time to 211, but subsequently fell to 201.

The order sent to the Duchess de St. Leu to follow her
son to America has, it is said, been somewhat modified.
The intervention of some august protectors has had the ef-
fect of manifesting the inexpediencyb of condemning to a new
exile a lady who, in the time of the Consular and Imperial
power, employed her influence with her brother on behalf of
the Orleans family.:
The Royal Court of Colmar delivered on the sth its
judgment in the affair of Strasburg. M. Rossee, the At
torney-General, laid before the Court the entire of the pre-
liminary investigation instituted by the committee of the
Court. The latter examined upwards of 200 witnesses,
and ascertained that a great number of persons, against
whom there existed charges, not sufficient, however, to war-
rant their prosecution, had been implicated in the conspi-
racy, or had a knowledge thereof. Several officers, some
of whom occupy a high rank in the army, have conse-
quently been dismissed or retreated. All the individuals
arrested in virtue of a decree of the Tribunal of Paris have
been liberated. Out of the eight persons confined in Stras-
burg, seven are to be brought to trial. The valet de
chambre of Prince Louis was ordered to be set at liberty
by the Chamber of Accusation. The Court likewise pro-
nounced judgment bn the eight contumacious accused, who
belong to the 3d Regiment of Artillery and to the corps of
Engineers. A true bill has been found against six of them.
Prince Louis Napoleon's case was also the subject of the
deliberation of the Court, but the discussion was confined
to the mere act of his removal from the prison of Strasburgh.
The judges agreed that the proceeding was a violation of
the law, but declared, nevertheless, that considerations of
great political moment have rendered the measure neces-
sary, and that, consequently, they had no right to interfere
in the matter. They accordingly abstained from making
any allusion thereto in their judgment. It is not yet known
whether the trial will take place in Strasburgh or Colmar.
It will come on in January, unless the accused appeal to
the Court of Cassation from this decision of the Chamber
of Accusation, on the plea that the accomplices of a crime
cannot be tried when the principal accused has been taken
out of the hands of justice by an administrative decision.
It was stated that Marshal Lobau was to resign the
command in chief of the National Guard of Paris. It was
said that the age of the Marshal, his long services, and his
wounds, made it imperative on him to take that determinaL'
tion. The inforination we have obtained enables us to an-
nounce positively that Murshal Lobau will remain at the
head of that corps, which he organized and commanded
during several years, and is so much indebted to the supe-
rior experience of its chief.—ilioniteur.
The same official Journal publishes the following notice :
The Director of the Museum of Natural History re-
quests us to inform the public, that the ouran-outang, being
ill, is not visible at this moment."

The communications of our Toulon correspondent, and
the observations we made upon the improbability of the
disaster alleged to have befallen our army before Constan-
tine, receive confirmation this day by the arrival of the
Toulon newspapers. The Eclaireur de la Mediterranec,
which was the first to publish the bad news, collected from
the accounts of a few sailors, has almost entirely retracted
the alarming intelligence. " We are induced to hope,"
observes that Journal, " that these reports are false, because
there has not been any communication between our army
and Bona, and because no despatch from Marshal Clausel
has been received, Perhaps," it adds, " the difficulties
which our troops have encountered have been occasioned
rather by the rains which, contrary to expectation, prevailed,
than by resistance offered by the tribes to their march."
The evening Ministerial Journal does not make the slightest
allusion to the affairs of Constantina.—Courrier Francais.

(From the French Papers of Saturday.)
The Journal des Debuts announces that the Minister of
Finance has fixed a duty of sf. a-head on all large dogs,
quitting France along the frontier from Dunkirk to Rousses.
The object of this measure is to repress the contraband
trade, carried on to a great extent in that quarter by means
of dogs.

Some of the newspapers have stated that the health of
the Countess de Lipona is much improved. The object of
this announcement is doubtless to prepare the public mind
for the intelligence of her departure from France. Certain
it is that she has received an intimation to quit France, and
in the course of ten or twelve days she must leave for Italy.

M. de Mayendorff, Chamberlain and Councillor of the
Emperor of Russia, who has for some years past resided in
Prance, and who paid a visit to Normandy this year, has
suddenly left for St. Petersburgh.—Courrier Francais.
The Journal du Commerce publishes the following :
" The Austrian Ambassador yesterday had an interview
with the Spanish Ambassador and the Charge d'Affaires
of Hanover, at the office of the Minister for Foreign
Affairs. It is said, that the Austrian Ambassador made
a communication in the names of the family of Charles
X. It is presumed that it related only to the testamentary
dispositions of the late King, and to money matters.
The two parties remained together only just time enough
to sign a protocol. M. Campuzano was, it is said, the bearer
of a new demand for the occupation of the Basque Pro-
vinces by a corps of '20,000 French troops, to act only in
disarming the rebels. This occupation is said to have been
concerted between the Ministers of Austria and England.
As to the Hanoverian Minister, the eternal Hollando-Bel-
gic question is said to have furnished a new memorandum,
to which the Cabinet of the Hague had uselessly called at-
tention, and which it re-produced yesterday as an uliinza-
tum. It appears that the policy of King Leopold is less
in accordance with that of the Tuileries than the tics of re-
lationship and good neighbourhood require ; since this me-
morandum has become, between France and Holland, a
subject of discussion which seriously affects the interests of
our commerce, without producing any advantage to Bel-
gium."

- The Breton (of Nantes), contains a narrative of a most
appalling and extraordinary scene, which occurred on the
Gth instant, at the barracks in the town of Vannes, at pre-
sent occupied by the .56th regiment of the Line. It ap-
pears that the sub-lieutenants of the regiment am in the
habit of taking their meals together in a private room at
the canteen. On the unfortunate occasion alluded to, all of
them were seated at breakfast, when one of the party, a
M. Severac, who generally lived on bad terms with his bro-
ther officers, suddenly jumped from his place, seized his
