FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Etoile, dated Wednesday.)
Tatrim Nov. 15.—A vessel arrived in sixteen days from
Alexandria, confirms the news that has been spread of the gloomy

state of affairs in Egypt, in 'consequence of the late commercial
crisis, and the expeditions to- Greece. It is the want of money
that has obliged the Viceroy so long to delay the last expedition to
the Morea. The merchants' letters are full of complaints.
The news of the death of Gouras is confirmed by letters from
Zante of the 6th. He hail made two successful sallies from the
_ .

citadel, but fell in the second. It is said, however, that these
engagements have enabled 500 fresh troops to throw themselves
into the Acropolis, and it is hoped that this monument, to which
so many recollections are attached, will be able to defend itself
for, a long time against the barbarians. It is said that the
Greeks are resolved, in case of extreme necessity, to blow up the

Acropolis.
Psalm, Nov. 27.—The Etoile gives extracts from four of its
contemporaries, respecting the affairs of Portugal. The follow •
ing is from the Quotidienne, a Royalist paper:--
We are informed that the Portuguese troops that had gone from
Ayamonte to Ecija, did not remain long in that city; with the
consent of our (the Spanish) Cabinet, they have resumed their
rout for Casella, the nearest point to the frontiers of Portugal.—
From this place the Portuguese Royalists can,
...when they please,
get into the Algarves or Badajos ; but it is thought that by the
latter city they will enter their country. I have already informed
y4u that the Governor of Tavira, who commands them, is to be
placed at the head of one of the ethree divisions which are on the
ptlint of passing the frontiers.
Letters from Toro, of the 12th of November, state that Gene-
rale de Chaves and Silveira are ready to march. We are even as-
'tired that the former will arrive on the 18th; at Braganca, to
proclaim Don Miguel King of Portugal. The friends of the re-
fugee Royalists and the emissaries sent forward by the latter agree
in saying that the people are every where expecting the Royal army
with impatience, and are disposed to make common cause with it
against the revolution.
The Aristarque, another Royalist paper, gives similar news, and
adds :—" The Liberals, on the other !laud, are reported to have
increased their forces, either because they are apprehensive of an
attempt at invasion, or because they wish to keep in obedience the
troops in the province of Alentejo, who are only waiting for an op-
portunity of declaring themselves ; or, in fine, they wish to stop
the emigration, which is on the increase."
In the Constitutionnel, a Liberal journal, is the following from
a Madrid Correspondent :
; The news from Salamanca, Toro, and several other cities in
Qld Castile, is of a nature quite contrary to that which we had
by the last Courier ; for it asserts that a part of the Portuguese
refugees, which left Salamanca, have returned there ; that the
hostile preparations at Toro are put a stop to ; and that the Por•-
tuguese refugees are greatly discouraged.
As they were in want of cannon the Governor of Puebla de
Sangria has, it is said, sent three pieces to that point, by which
they are to depart from Torn; and the Police is this very day on
the alert to ascertain the source whence proceeded the orders by
Virtue of which this Governor has acted so—a source which
Ought naturally to be from the Minister of War ; but, as the latter
has given no such orders, and as the Governor of Puebla de Sans-
lin has not only not been brought to an account, but even continues
in his place, we may conclude that this line of conduct has been
dictated to him by some one sufficiently poWerful to screen him

front the consequences.
The Journal des Debafs, another Liberal, after repeating
'nearly the same facts as -are contained in the preceding para-
!graph, observes—" These sudden changes are sufficiently ex-
`plaiued by what I told you in my last respecting the Treaty &in-
`eluded at Paris, and the adherence of our Government to that
Treaty; to which I may now add, that your Minister of Foreign
`Affairs has announced to our Minister, in express terms, by a
courier, arrived hereon the Bth inst. that the right of the Em-
peror Don Pedro to the Crown of Portugal being incontestible,
11 is acts are of course legitimate, and consequently France could
take no part, directly or indirectly, in the affairs of Portugal, and
yet, notwithstanding that I can guarantee to you that such has
been officially announced, there are politicians here so incredulous
as to believe that the reluctance evinced on the part of our Go-
vernment to recognise the Portugese Regency, proceeds from their
conviction that they do not displease the Cabinet of the Tuileries
by acting so.
We think we may conclude from these' different extracts that
there is in reality a movement among the refugees on the frontiers
of Portugal (which is not at all strange on the part of men anxious
to'nphold their opinions), and that the Spanish Government has
done every thing in its power to oppose new acts' of hostility,
which will but prolong the disorders.
(From the Constitutionnel.)
Lisa" Nov. 11.—(Private Correspondence.)—lt is sai
- -

,nat the Portuguese soldiers who took refuge at Lugo (in Spain)
revolted for the purpose of getting arms, and the, same attempt
was ,unsuccessfully made by those who fled to Palencia. The
Portuguese soldiers who were disarmed at
,Truxillo lied the oppor-
tunity of rescuing their arms afterwards, so that the act resembled
more the scene of a comedy than a real proceeding. On the con-
trary the Portuguese Government observed the utmost good faith
towards the Spanish Government.
If the civil and military.authorities of Spain did their duty on
the frOntiers, it is impossible that the rebel Portuguese could
obtain arms as they have done. But there is a junta acting
secretly beneath Government, which has favoured such proceed-
nip even to the extent of supplying gold to the rebel party.
However, the English brig Reynard, having arrived in four.
days from Plymouth, the English brig of war, the Lyra, has been
dispatched immediately to Gibraltar, and the English packet,
which was not to set out till to-morrow morning, the 12th,
sailed on the 9th, by order of Sir W. A'Court. It is generally
supposed that a body of English troops will shortly arrive in
Portugal, and remain until the Constitutional Government has had
time to organise a national force.
A part of the troops destined to act in the Algarve& returned to,
this capital yesterday, and 'the Provincial Militia, who had been
summoned here to replace them, have returned to their homes.
This Militia, composed of the husbandmen who abandoned the
pjough to take up arms, receive neither pay nor provisions ; Go-
vernment grants them nothing snore than arms and clothing.
We hope that this antiquated custom, so oppressive on the :inha-
bitants of the country, will be established on a more liberal basis,
as soon as the organization of an active Army and National Guard
shall begin to occupy our attention.
General Charles Sal Daubs, Minister of War, has nofreturneil;

The English
frigate
La Forte, which brought General Beres:
ford here, is to sail again for England on the 14th instant.
(From the Journal des Debuts.)
VIENNA, Nov. 18,—Our finances are in a state of greiit de-
pression, and it will be the more difficult to raise them, since the
Diet of Hungary persists in its refusal to adopt the Royal propis
sitions respecting taxation, unless his Apostolic Majesty renders
justice to them iu regard to several claims against infringements
of the Constitution, and other grievances already stated in the
journals.
But the States of Hungary are not the only ones who now show
a refractory spirit ; like this National Assembly, the States of Bo-
hemia, who are apparently more loyal and devoted than those of
Hungary, but enjoy in reality no snore constitutional liberty, also
complain of the exhorbitauce of charges, which, in that king-
dom, fall particularly heavy upon landed property, and which the
tax-payers are the less able .to defray, as agricultural produce
scarcely repays the expellee of cultivation.
(From the Courier Francais.)
The king of Spain has heen indisposed since the llth instant,
but hopes are 'entertained that his malady will not prove serious ;
it seems, however, that the fever it settled, and towards night the
paroxysms increase in violence. The Gazette of the 16th men-
tions, that the physicians declare his Majesty's malady to he no
way serious, or threatening alarming consequences. This official
assurance has Produced the most agreeable sensation.

EAST INDIES.
We have received by the Genera/ Palmer, Madras Papers to
the 80th of July, and Calcutta intelligence to the middle of the
same month. Some delay is apprehended in the payment of
the remaining instalment due from the Burmese, and the era-
cuationluf Rangoon is, consequently, delayed., "It would ap-
pear," says the Calcutta John Bull, of the Bth of July, " that
Rangoon will not be finally evacuated,by our troops so soon as
was once expected ; hut at what time they will be withdrawn we
have uot heard."
(slam wiz MADRAS GAISITS.)
Our Correspondent at Rangoon gives us the following infor-

'nation :--, - ,-
Itsitcsoort, Junta 19, 1826.-7 The Moira arrived here on the
!rush instant, with the two Chiefs of Tavoy, and three vakeNls,
who were lately prisoners of war at Calcutta. The other pri-
soners, namely,--the Rajah and Mimes of Cherlubs tuay bhips e
expected every day -by the stew-vessels The
which have arrived between the , 14th and this dolt are the
Thetis, the General Woad, and the llygisry, ills Majesty's
ot'ber s
ship Atlas, imp the tuaot of Africa, ,arrived this day, The
non-arrival of the ships front Madras makes all tho Pulrase,es,
high and low, very anxious. The trade of Rangoonis retutn-
ing by degrees to its usual briskness, and the population of
Rangoon is considerably increased. Those fugitives who have

returned, as well as the most considerable part of the Durmists(:
are buoyed with the hope that the English will permanently
re-
tain Rangoon; if they do not, the Burman will all remove to
the territories of the English. The New Town is becoming very
prosperous—houses are building, and some of the settlers are so
enterprising as to send to the Coromandel Coast for brick and chit-
nam ; but they will find it an unnecessary expence, as the country
abounds with lime, and bricks may beeasily made, the clay of the
country being peculiarly fit for that article.
MADRAS, JULY 22.—The Honourable, the Governor left the
Presidency yesterday afternoon, on a tour to the Provinces. Hit
Excellency's departure was announced by a salute of nineteeu gees
from the saluting battery, and by a similar compliment from
Chepauk Palace.
We regret to observe, by the following paragraph in the Wl*
Gazette, that Calcutta is again visited with an epidemic nearly
similar to the one which prevailed there, as well as at Madras,
about two years ago:—
" A slight epidemic, we understand, prevails at present in Cal-
cutta. It is somewhat similar, but much less severe, thin the
epidemic fever of the two last years. There is considerable
ache, with pains of hack and limbs. It runs through its coils
'without 48 hours, and does not leave the patient so debilitated Ite„
the former epidemic ; neither is there that eruption of the Ain,
impatience of light, and affection of the joints which characterised
the disease alluded to."
MADRAS, JULY 26.—0 n Saturday evening arrived hie -I°.
jetty's ship Volage; Captain the Hon. R. S. Dead., front 'DP

spite, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Gage. We tuulerstand

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, NOV. 30, 1826.

We have this moment learnt that very serious appre-
hensions are entertained of the Marquis of HASTINGS
having fallen a victim to a disease incident to the cli-
mate of Malta.

The Paris Papers of Monday, and the Etoile dated
Tuesday moiniig, reached us last night ; and extracts
from them will be found in another colutnn.
A 'vesSel'which arrived at Trieste on the 15th inst,
confirms the accounts of the gloomy state 'Of affairs in.
Egypt. Want of money was the cause of the delay,
of the last expedition against the Mores. The news
of the death of GOURAS, is said to
,he confirmed by
letters of the 6th from Zante, but we rejoice to find
that no treasonable conduct had tarnithed his charac-
ter, and led to his execution, as before stated ; but that
11!‘ died nobly in a second successful sally from the
enadil, against the.enemies of Greece.
The Ltoile gives extracts from four .of its cotem-
Tortries respecting the state of Portugal, which will
e found under Our extracts, to enable our readers to
Judge of the real situation of affairs in that country,
and on the frontiers of Spain. •If the Spanish Go-
'ernMerit were sincere in its ostensible directions re-
latiVe to the insurgents who have deserted into Spain,
there could not be such movements as are described
Oil the part of these self-called Royalists. Private car-
respondence of the 11th from Lisbon, published by the
constitutionne/, mentions an expectation that English
troops would 'shortly arrive and remain until the Go-
vernment had organised a national force.
The French Funds are rather lower than the last

we also learn by this opportunity that the sect,

that some delay in the payment
,of the remaining in-
stalment is apprehended, and the ..evacuation of Ran-
goon coneequeittly delayed. "It would appear," says

The Countess of Chichester packet has arrived at

Naica, on the 17th Oct., but in consequence of the
delith, on the passage, of some of the crew, from

Tht Marquis of Basting*, G, Martin, late W. Ostler, from
1,4 'bs. Batavia, and Mosel hay, arrived at the Cape of Good
on the 16th Sept. from which place we give the following
she has since arrived iu the Downs-.-Mr. Martin, 2d
in command, the chief officer Mr..ltow, having been sus.
• 1>e141(4 from duty on the fifth for. reported drunken-
;,td temporary derangement. On the Bth of September,
o'clock, the ship was discovered.to be on fire in the
to the 0111, it wits soon extinguished, when Mr. Martin observed
the tcaPtaio, that it was a very strange circumstance,
ca captain,
said, " it wee, the fire lutist hate Wu put

into the scuttle by some person maliciously inclined." The
captain then struck his forehead and retired to the after
cabin ; he afterwards went out and walked the main-deck
about two minutes, and then retired 'to his state-room. On the
following morning, the cabin boy, at 8 A. 1., went in and found
the captain was absent. Mr. Martin then went to his (the cap-
tain's) cabin, and found a paper as follows :—" A bad crew, and
bad first officer, is the destruction of William Ostler." She'has
put into the port by desire of the crew, and for refreshment. The
foremast spring stays were found burnt by vitriol, and supposed
by the captain, as a leathern bug, which he got - made on shore,
was found iu the store-room, with rosin, and completely burnt.

It is supposed that Captain Ostler, in a fit of derangement, had
thrown himself out of the cabin window and was drowned soon
after he had retired to his cabin.

The Master of the Cornwallis, arrived at St. Helena, reports,
that the brig Mariner, •from London to this port (Cape of Good
Hope), had foundered off the Cape, and the crew picked up by a
ship bound to Calcutta.

We received this afternoon, by Express, the Etoile
dated yesterday, but its contents are not of political
importance. The following are a few extracts :

(From the Etoik, dated yesterday.)
LIES OF THE DAY.—The Drapeau Blanc mentions the ar-
'rival at Paris of Count La Frronays, Ambassador frum France
to the Court of St. Petersburgli.
The Journal des Debuts announces the preparation for a large
armament at the port of Brest. It consists of twenty-seven ships
of war, which are intended to put to sea, in order to protect
French commerce at all places where it may be considered re-
quisite.

The naval intelligence, arrived by way of Trieste, relates that
an expedition was to leave Alexandria on the Sth of November.
It consisted of a hundred sail, and was supposed to carry, not
troops, but merely ammunition, provisions, and 'large sums of
money.

By intelligence received from the frontiers of Russia, it appears
that Prince Hesse Homberg will remain some time longer at St.
Petersburg, at least until the arrival of Count Lutzow, who has been
nominated Ambassador by Austria. Meanwhile the stay of this
Prince is not to be considered as a diplomatic, but merely a friend-
ly visit, inasmuch as he is allied to the Royal Family by his sister's
marriage with Prince William of Prussia, uncle to the Empress
Alexandra.

A 64-gun frigate, built at the expence of the Pacha of Egypt,
is about to be launched at Livornia. Two other ships of war,
built also at the expence of the Pacha, are in the sane port, nearly
ready for sea.
The son of Murat has been wounded in a duel with one Col.
Macromb, in the United. States.

One of the bravest of the heroes of Alissolonglii, nephew to
Geu. Karaiskaki, has reached Geneva, where he intends to pass
some time, in consequence of ill health. He is furnished with
letters of recommendation from Karaiskaki, Colocotroni, and
Misulis ; of the last he has an excellent portrait, taken previous
to his late serious illness, occasioned by his inability to save Mis-
solonghi. This young warrior, whose name is Mestanopoulo, has
not only public, but also private wrongs to deplore ; for, at the
very moment when the exhausted garrison of Missolonghi attempted
to cut a passage through their enemy, he saw his three brothers
murdered before his face, one of whom actually expired in his
arms. His sisters and mother were taken prisoners, and publicly
sold in the slave market at Alexandria.

In the House of Peers last night an interesting
conversation on the Corn Laws took place. It origi-
nated in some observations made by Lord KING on pre-
senting a Petition, which called forth a declaration from
Lord LtyinPool, that he would not be drawn into a
premature disclosure of what was the intention of his
MAJESTY'S Ministers 'on this subject; but that they
had come to a decision on the subject, and that imme-
diately after the recess he would put the House fully
in possession tithe vie*s of Government, which would
allow ample time for the discussion of them, as the
measures intended must originate in the House of
Commons. His LORDSHIP concluded by saying,
that the question should.ba brought forward as early as
possible, and be decided RH soon as was .consistent with
giving it a full and due consideration. The course
proposed to, be followed by his MAJESTY'S Ministers
met with the general concurrence of the Peers, and
a wish was expressed that the measures to be pro-
posed might be of such a nature as to lead to a per-
manent settlement of this question, so essentially im-
portant to all the great interests of the country.
The time of the House of Commons was occupied,
longer than the subject deserved, by Mr. HUME, in
presenting a petition from the Mr. TAYLOR to whom
we have often alluded, professing himself a Deist, and
praying that the law may' be so altered as to allow
persons of such principles to be sworn on Works of
Nature, instead of on die Old or New Testament.

The return of Dr. LusurmTox and Mr. JAMES
BROUGHAM for the Borough of Tregony was con-
firmed, by the decision of the House, that the re-
turn was not a double return, and that the indenture
of Mr. MACK ILLOP and Mr. GORDON not being an-
nexed to the precept, must of necessity be struck off
the file. By this decision it is now clearly settled :-
Ist. That no indenture, which is not annexed to the
precept of the Sheriff, can be'recognised by the House
—2dly. That, to constitute a double return, both in-
dentures must be an►iexed to the precept-3(11y.
That the Sheriff in every case must choose, on his
own responsibility, between making a double apd a
single return, and that be, is not entitled to transfer
the onus of that responsibility to any other.

In another part of our Paper will be found some
very sensible observations on the absiird Law of Bas-
tardy. Our intelligent Correspondent agrees with us
in the main features of our dislike to the law, but he
thinks that because the law existed from the time of
ELIZABETH; without having produced any established
case . of injustice or oppression, it is therefore as good
and as perfect a law as could be employed. Now,
though we are no advocates for abusing things, be-
cause they are ancient, yet we 'cannot, venerate ab-
surdity because of its antiquity. That no established case
of abuse has occurred in the practice of this injurious
law is no proof that many bitter wrongs have not been
visited on innocent parties frOM 'the time of ELIZA-
BETH, for the very nature of the thing is enough to
ensure- secrery from motives ' of delicacy, as men
isbvietirlyis case
the
know that where there is no hope of a successful
appeal, it is better to hush the matter and so put up
with their misfortune. . But is a law pregnant with op-
preasiOn the less to be deprecatedrmerely because no
actual case has yet arisen to illustrate its evil tendency?
l law dooming a culprit to death is not entitled to
the praise of humanity, merely because . a victim has
not yet i
previous moral haracter to'
certify on nourred •
its vengeanc . we do not quar-
rel with the
father of 'heerlaowit°'of

e the law is •njurious,, because

little chance unless he l')eing . conclusive, a man has

tance. The ,observationscaa
of Our Correspondent,
as to the pripriety of co
of n. paling a woman to give the
name of the father
the child before it is born,
are in' perfect 'accor I • ' t akce with oar own, and we 'also
agree with him that the vestry . Have • no right to call
upon the patties to • d .1
in emu 'y the parish before the

child becomes chargeable. That practice is certainly
taking time by the forelock, and looks something like
one man Raking another for a sum of money in hand,
because he may one day become in his debt. The
parish has no right to make the probability a cer-
tainty. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof,--but
" the little Kings of the Parish" are omnipotent in their
own jurisdiction, and for want of good cause for their in-
dividual interference, will share the odium of oppression
among them. One great evil resulting from the ha-
pertinent interference of the parish is, that many children
are born bastards who might otherwise be legitimate
by the private marriage of the parties, but the inter-
ference of the parish fixes the shame of the unfortunate
girl, and no reparation of the man can afterwards esta-
blish her character. Another and a greater evil re-
sulting from this odious inquisition is, the frequent
suicides which take place by young women, whose
sensibility cannot bear the shock of a parish exami-
nation before a Magistrate, for though they have
fallen victims to misplaced affection, or the arts of
the designing, yet they are not all lost to shame;
and many a virtuous girl, urged to extremity by the
dread of publicity, has hurried to destruction, rather
than survive the horrors of such an ordeal. A man
may bear the partial loss of character, as a tree sheds
its leaves in the wind, but to a woman, the loss of her
reputation is destiny—the tree torn up by the blast.
