FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

VAR'S, 21.
The most ;damning reports were circulated
yesterday on
.the Exchange. War was there re.
garded asdecided;-nad France was represented

as incapable of unde.rtaking it,,and supporting it
alone., la support of these Conjectures, many
facts were quoted relative to the Army of Ob-

servation and the Russian and Prussian troops.

ence the fear of seeing foreigners for the third

me occupy pass through our territory—hence

.he eagerness to dispose of the ?Tides, the gra-

&al fall of which appears now certain. For a
long time past there has not been so much business

done as yesterday. The misfortunes which an
army of occupation brings in its train are so recent
that no one can he surprised at the distrust which
such a recollection excites. But be the reports
in circulation well or ill founded,
.be the ap-
prehensions to which they have given birth, more

or less reasonable, this is certain--that (b►ey

are a consequence of the situation in which the
system of the fanatics. has placed F rance, and
that their immediate, effect is to injure public-

credit. Private interest is a powerfUl teacher ;
and, from the greatest capitalist to the smallest
holder of stock, there is not one who, in the c.v.
cumstances in which we now stand, has not made

the calculation we are about to establish. In

considering the actual mass_of rentes, a fall of
one franc injures the State to an extent beyond
30 millions. The Government vial feel this set).

sibly, ifthe war should render now negociations
fur rentes necessary. In that case, and operat-
ing on ten millions of rentes only, every franc
of depression would cause, a diminution of two
millions to the treasury, on the produce of ,the
capitalwhich it might raise by their sale. Thus,
at 90, the 10 millions of rentes would produce,
ISO millions, and at 80, only 160. It is plain
that our wants remaining the' same, it would be
necessary to augment the mass of the rentes, and
consequently the annual budget, in a progression
which would become frightful; for the more new
rentes were created, the greater would be the
depression, and yet it would still be necessary
to. create more to raise the same capital.—

L'Etbile announces that Count de LagardO is
recalled, and that Ministerial Couriers have boen
dispatched to all the Courts of Europe. It is
presumed that they carry the resolution which
the Cabinet of the Tuileries has adopted on this
subject.—lbid.

Yesterday, at noon, the King transacted bus'

ness successively with the Viscount deChateau
inland, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the
Count de Villele, President of the Council.
The Ministers assembled yesterday morning at
the residence of M. the Viscount Chateaubriand,
Minister of Foreign Affairs.
On the faith of un evening journal, we yester-
day announced that WI. the Marquis de Vence,
who commands a brigade of the Army of Obser-
vation, hadd, arrived in Paris the day before yes-
terday. The:motive assigned by that journal for
his arrival—that of tidying an important report to
make on. the Amy of Observation, which he had
just left—is as false as the fact itself. -Not only
has this Generalnot quitted his post, but no event
has transpired which could necissitate such a
step. The Whole Army of Observation is ani-
mated with the best spirit ; and we have this
very in;tant learned that a hundred of the Spanish
Constitutional soldiers having, for the third time,
been audacious enough io enter the French terri-
tory, have been•disarmed by.our troops.----(Jour-
nal des Debats.)
The Journal des PAats, in a note onAhe pa-
ragraph in the Universal, which we quoted yes-
terday from the Spanish Papers, (in substance
that the friendship of England will console us
for the hostility of Russia, &c.) says—" It is
thus that the pride and imprudence of' revolu-
tions treat the Representative of an Empire which
reckons on an army of 850,000 men; and the re-
presentative of a Prince the most moderate, and
most friendly to the liberties of nations, that
ever. existed (!)—( When France shall be able
to speak,' says "the Spanish Journalists (who can
read our papers and say that we.are dumb),
4 France will accuse the folly of the Govern-
ments which have forced Spain to draw
close, more and more, the bonds which
unite her to England. England has no need
of the help of other Governments to draw
closer her bonds with Spain—she knows bow to
take her measures. She thought lately that she
had somethhig to demand ; she did not stop sillily
to consider whether the Spanish Government had
or had not any longer her colonies—bad or had
not finances ; whether Spain had been devastated
or not by Buonaparte--whether she was anew
devastated or not by civil war—whether she had
or had 'not to fear a war 'With Europe ; Eng-
land, in a quite friendly way,, demanded 'her
Money,and threatened to seize upon Spanish vessels
if she was not paid immediately I But France,
whose territory has. been thrice- violated under
deplorable circumstances—France,, whose sub-
jects and soldiers they (happily io vain) attempt
to corrupt or render faithless—France, whose
Government and
,Monarch are incessantly in-
sulted—France. has neither the right to -make
friendly representations, nor to have err Army :of
Observation, as England has Fleets of Observa-
tion. However, she, asks no money, and she
continues religiously to pay what she owes to
Spain. Apparently, the Spaniards are angry at
nothing but notes."
The day before yesterday, and yesterday
morning, two messengers from Madrid. arrived
at the English Ambassador's.
Yesterday couriers for the several Courts of
Europe were dispatched froin the department of
Foreign Affairs. The one who was expedited to
Madrid is, it is said, the' bearer of an order to the
Count de Lagarde, to quit that capital forth-
i th.

Last night a courier with dispatches from
Madrid arrived at the Hotel of Foreign ,Affairs.
It is affirmed that the ambassadors of Russia,
Prussia, and Austria, demanded their passports
from San' Miguel on the 11th instant, which were

sent to them on the following day, accompanied
with a very unceremonious letter. Their Excel-
lencies quitted Madrid on the 13th inst.
The most absurd rumours were yesterday cir-
ca
culated on 'Change. We (Qaoiidienne) repeat
them to show how furiously the enemies of order
are endeavouring to alarm capitalists and the

.• : ,
commercial interests : according to some, a levy
of 300,000 men has been decreed, and the Mini-
ster of War had set off for the Pyrenees in the
Suite of M. the Duke d'Angdulerne ; others affirm-
ed that M. the Marquis de Vence had arrived in
Paris with disastrous intelligence respecting the
Army of Observation, which it was said was attack.;;
ed by Mina. Others, finally, had formed a new
ministry, the nomination of which was confidentally
stated. All these reports, as may easily be be-
lieved, have no authentic foundation. The Duke
d'Angouleme has not quitted Paris ; N. de Vence
is still with the army of the Pyrenees ; and the
latest advises from Catalonia announce, that
Mina has recently retreated from the neighbour.
hood of Barcelona.
It was said that war was yesterday morning
resolved in Council, and that in consequence of
this resolution M. de Vill;ile tendered his-resig-
nation, not in his quality of Minister of Finance,
but of President of the Council. It was oho
said that his Royal Highness the Duke d'An-
gouleme will have the command in chief of the
army of the Pyrenees ; that General Guillemi-
not would be chief of the Staff of this army, of
which the Duke de Belluno will' command the
right wing, and the Duke de Reggio the left.—
Finally, Chat 300 Gardes-du-Corps were nomi-
nated under M. d'Oudenarde, to accompany his
Royal 11 ighness.
[From the Drapeau Manc.]
The news is coufirmed that the Count tie La-
garde is recalled front Madrid. It has sadly
confounded the revolutienists and les politiques:
they behold in it the presage of immediate war;
'and, therefore, to produce a great fall in the
public funds, they have circulated the most
exaggerated ,and the most ridiculous reports :
we shall not take the Arouble to contradict them.
After the recal of NI, de Lagarde was deter-
mined on, couriers were dispatched from the Fo-
reign Office to the principal Courts of. Europe.
In the different circles of the Tuileries, people
were occupied yesterday evening exclusively
with the rumour of M. de Villele's resignation,
which he had tendered, it was. said, during the
sitting of the Council on Saturday, after a dis-
cussion supported by M. de Chateaubriand, on
the urgency of our repressive operations with re-
gard to Spain. Time will soon disclose the truth
of these reports. With equal confidence, but
with more diversity, the seditious disposition of
the Belgians towards the Government of the Ne-
therlands is spoken of. Wedo not think it neces-
sary to pronounce a premature opinion upon this
subject. It is not certain that the Flemings and
the Liegeois ought to be assimilated with the
Spanish Jacobins, and us we have always de-
clared our wishes in
_favour of the unhappy
Christians persecuted in the East, without now
committing ourselves to the narrow circle of the
politics of the day, we shall continue to repeat
with courage and confidence, to legitimate Go-
vernments-4.‘. .fiatjustitia,./stut calurn ":
CALAIS, JItN. 23:---The troops at St. Omer,
and part of those at Calais, have orders to march
towards the South.
[Tuesday being the Anniversary of the Death of Louis
XVI., no business was transacted on the French Exchange.]

BRUSSELS, JAN. 19.—Letters from Cambray,
dated the 17th in the evening, have the follow-
ing statement :

-4' It is affirmed that 15 or 16,000 men,
cou-
sisting of troops of every description, are going
to be drawn .from the garrisons in the Northern
frontier, which extends from Strasburg to Dun-
kirk, and that they are destined to reinforce the
Army of Observation."
The journals of both the Northern and
Southern provinces of the Kingdom publish nu-
merous acts of charity during this inclement
season.—A collection made at Amsterdam pro-
dtreed 15,000 florins.
ROME, JAN. it—The health of his Holiness
continues to be very good, and we hope that we
shall long preserve this virtuous Pontiff. Part
of die equipage of the King of Naples arrived
yesterday. His Majesty is not expected in his-
own dominions till the end of next month, as he
intends to visit several cities-in the Hereditary
Dominions of Austria. We expect soon to see
at Rome Monseigneur Giustiniani, who was
Nuncio froth his Holiness to King Ferdinand
of Spain. The Canon Villanueva is stilt at
Gnoa, waiting for orders from those who sent
him. What is certain - is, that he will not set
his foot in Rome.. In consequenCe of informa-
tion which the Government has received from
some towns in the three
.Legations, respecting
the - intrigues of certain individuals • who are
proved to have had an understanding with emis-
saries whom a faction had sent to Italy towards
the meeting of the Congress; rigorous measures
have been.adopted against those individuals. It
is affirmed that they will be removed to the castle
of St. Angelo, till they can be brought to trial.
The arrival yesterday of 'seven close carriages,
under escort, has given reason to believe that the
order for their removal has already been carried
into effect.

FRANKFORT, JAN.141.---A. letter from Trieste,
of the 3d inst. says, " A vessel which arrived
few days since at Piratic), reports,that Napoli di
Romania surrendered on ale 3d December. A
second vessel which arrived yesterday confirms
this news. On the demand of the Janissaries
most of the Asiatic troops were to he removed
from the environs of Constantinople where Haleb
Effendi bad kept them as a check on the Janis-
saries. It is not known whether they will return
to Asia, or be employed against Greece. The
first seems improbable, because the war with
Persia is supposed to he terthinated. Nothing
can be undertaken against Greece before spring.
The Porte is said to have received very bad
news from Thessnly and Macedonia. It is re-
markable, that since the fall of Haleb we hear of
no new persecution of the Greeks."—(Bria.,els
