FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FEB. 20.--. Baron d'Eroles has set off
for Catalonia.—General Quesada set off yesterday.
An account from Naples, of, the 3d, assures us
that the absent Generals, Pepe and others, con-
cerned in the conspiracy of the 4st July, 1820,
have been condemned to death.
:Paris, 10 o'clock at night.—The renter, which
tad got up to 811, fell after the exchange hour
to 70. 40. The report circOlated that war was
irrevoc►4bly decided, and that the Manifesto will
appear in two days, caused the sudden fall.
It is said that two reports upon subsidies and
the veterans i4lll be made the day after to-

morrow. ,
The report in certain , ecirripaniel turns exclu-
sively, upon the speech Of M. de Chateauhriand,
.which is said to leit've no further hope of peace.

A letter doted Pariajhursday night,positively
asserts that the French army will enter Spain on
or before the I sth of March-30,000 men by way
of Bayonne, 85,000 by Figueroa, and 'two di-
visions of fight troops will march on Seo. Urge!.

who had been called to the bar for the publication of an article
in his paper of the 17th.
The responsible Editor having indicated the writer of
article to be the Sieur Martainville, Editor in Chief, the latter
• was called to 'the bar, He acknowledged the article to have
been written .try him ; but he asked, in concert with the re-
,
aponsible ,Editor, for sufficient delay to choose Counsel, and
prepare his means of defence,
The Chamber delibtrated, and the demand was admitted.
The Chamber adjourned to Saturday, when the Editor and the
Author were ordered to appear.

posal made by Count Ferrand, for the passing a law, by which,
the erection of religious communities for women might in fu-
ture be authorised by a simple Ordonnance from his Majesty.

NUTS, FEL 21.—A letter from Oleron, of
th• 12th February, states, ►hat on the 9th, at
half.past five, B.M. the drum beat to arms in that

town. The troops march with astonishing cele-
rity, and all were eager to march. A body of
- Spaniards, who had taken and burnt Iraty, had
entered the French territory, hut had returned
before the troops came up, W not being yet de-
clared. The French troops received orders to
retire to Oleron, without being able to chastise
the wretches, who have for the third time violated
the French territory. The desire to come to
action is general.—(Quotidienne.)
The 'Courier Ifirstnpis gives an account of this
event ; but says, -that the Constitutional troops
did not -intend to -violate.the. French territory,
but passed, Without' knoWing, along a road corn-
..prised within the French limits.
An extraordinary courier, who left Madrid the
night between the 13th and 14th Feb. arrived
to-day (20th) at the English Ambassador's at
Paris. I t appears, from tins letters and journals
which he brings, that the Government, indepen-
dalit of the last levy which it 'asked of the
Cortes, intends another levy of 30,000 men.—
Whatever confidence, however, the Government
may place in the bravery of the Spanish troops,
it depends still more on the unanimous and spon-
taneous enthusiasm of the nation to repel the
iittack pi which are prepared against it; and, in
fact, the attitude of the popelation• in the several
provineea announces a firm determination to de.
fend the national independence. The recruits
joyfully join their colours, and the National
Guard is organizing with unparalleled acCvity.
`Madrid enjoys perfect tranquillity. Bessieres
':has taken flight, after the entire dispersion ,of hii
bands, Many of those who followed him have
solicited the benefit of the amnesty law.
The principal Director of the Posts of Tara-
gone and the province of Cuenca, communi-
cater to-day the following intelligence to the
Political:Chief of the province of Madrid :—"
have the satisfaction to send your Excellency the
agreeable news that the factious yesterday aban-
doned the town of Hurtle, after having spiked
.their artillery. They have taken the road to
Paraloya, in the mountains of Ringo. The head-
quarters of Count Abisbal are at lfuete. Our
cavalry pursues the fugitives."
.The Journal des D May of this day has an dr-
;tide from Madrid, dated the 13th, which contans
Iv dispatch from Count At►ishnl, dated H 'tete,
Feb. 30 lie states that ice entered the plac6
after it. was abandoned by the factieus ; that he
will immediately pursue them, and ant rest till
ins has overtaken them. They had taken some
couriers with the mails ; and had heart guided,
says the General, by a bad Spaniart of Saences,
named Don Justo Jose Talero." This confused
dispatch (continues the article,) which is evi-
dently full trf concealment, has increased, the
-anxiety of the Government. All that General
.Abisbill clearly owns is, that he has not been
Ole' to overtake Bessieres ; end that this Chief
manoeuvres as he pleases, and finds support
amongst the inhabitants. The rest is involved in
studied obscurity, lengthy on trifles, and silent
on important points. ft is impossible to derive
from 'this dispatch any, information respecting the
further march of Ilessieres, who is Hot beaten.,
who has not capitulated, and will perhaps _atilt
cause us many alarms.
