FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS, Nov. .13.—Lieutenant-General Coun
Rapp died on Thursday last. He was not forty,
five years old.

Lieutenant-Colonel Count de Belmain, Aide.
de-Camp of the Ernpeior of Russia, is just ar.
rived at. Paris.

The Prince de Metternich arrived at Frank-
fort on the 3d. The Senate immediately ordered
two sentinels to be stationed at the door of his
hotel, an honour which is not conferred even on
the Sovereign, the Duke de Nassau. The Prince
received the visits of the Diplomatic Corps. The
Russian Minister was the only one who did not
wait on him, ou account, it is alleged by some,
of indisposition.

Letters from Barcelona of the 3d state, that
though the fever ha* been subsiding very fast
since the • Ist of this month, yet more than one
hundred persons still die daily. Drs. Pariset and
Bally•are quite recovered.
We learn from Marseilles, finder date the sth

instant,• that, according to the latest accounts
from Greece, the authenticity of which may be
relied on, the Turkish Authorities of Salonica
had sent Deputies to the Greek's of Cassandra,
to apprize them of the amnesty of the Grand
'Signior, and to treat with them-for peace. The
Grand Signior promised the Greeks a general
amnesty'', and the
.enjoyment of their former
privileges ; but the -Greeks, well knowing
from- experie.nce the perfidy of the . Porte,
and never having found under its protection,
any other privileges than -those of slaves,
returned the following answer to the Turkish
Deputies :—". Go, tell the Pacha- of Salonica
that before we can listen to his propositions of
peace, we have some:questions to put to.him ;
before we can rely on his word, to consider us
no longer as enemies, we will say to him : Pacha,
call to mind our wives, our sisters, whom thou
bast torn from our arms and sold as slaves
in Asia, whom thou •didst cause to be publicly
dishonoUred to revenge thyself on us, and whom,
after such odious treatment, we can no longer re-
xoguize as onr lawful Wives, even • if
.thou wert
to restore them tons. Reflect on these-mortal
injuries, and ask •thyself if in thy power, or
riches, o Offer any indemnity which
.can repair
these wrongs..
.Consider well- of -thy, answer. If
then thou thickest thpuiiast any, .4ve irin again
ask thee, before we grant thee peace, for our
children, whom thou bust robbed us of to gratify
thy infamous passions, and to educate them in
thy false religion, iu order that the sweetest tie
of nature May'prove tois'thesource of our-pre-
sent griefs and our future terrors.

" If thou wishest for peace With US; deliver us
up thy arms, for we know. thy perfidy, and we.
cannot make any treaty with thee as long as thou
bast the means of violating. it. If thou wishest
for peace, give us for a habitation the town of
Salonica, as an indemnity.for: the seventy-five
villages thou hast burnt to •the- ground ; let
Ali Pacha come out of the fortress of Janina,
where thOu • keepest him blocked up, and
cease to be at war with him for he is now
our friend and ally. If thou wishest for.
peace with us, bring back to life, if Thou
canst, Kitno, Balano, and Menexe, innocent
Greeks of Salonica, whom thou bast inhumanly
massacred. If thou could:4 do these things, we
should still require the fortresses of SaloniCa to
be given up to the Greeks; for it would be just
as prudfnt for bees to have a fox for their king,
as for a Greek to have a Turk for his master."'

unheard-of excesses committed at -Sal.-)nica, by
the Asiatic troops. A. considerable' number of
Greeks have been assassinated, and several mer-

FRA N K7ORT, Nov. 8.--The Allgemeine Zeitung
contains an article from Odessa, which states that
the report that had been previously announced of
the march of the Russian troopsin the neigh-
bourhood of Odessa is not confirmed.

The Mercui:y of' Sweden publishes the follow-
ing Extract of a Letter from Leghorn of the
16th October :

" The Turkish fleet met near Cape Malapan (the south point
of the Morea) a Greek vessel ; captured it, and having first
covered the crew with tar, set. icon fire.. The Captain Pacha
has in this only followed the orders of .the Sultan relative to
all Greeks who should lie taken with arms in their hand's."

A writer must have a very bad opunpa of his
readers if he thinks to interest them by the re-
cital of such horrors, respecting the falsehood of
which we now know what we have to think ; but
the gratuitous assertion► which concludes this nar-
rative is. atrocious.

11.1-Anitio, Nov. I.—[Extract of a Private Let-
ter.]—The discussion in the last Sitting of the
Cortes, on the tariff of customs, takes a turn.
which prothises no hope of any essential mitio,-a=
tion of the prohibitory system. Count Torreno
is amongst the .most zealous of its defenders.
He, cites the, examples of France and the
United States, . who .owe the prosperity of
their manufactures the prohibition against
the importation of foreign manufwttures. But
the progress of Spain in the arts, manufactures,
&c. is yet top trivial to maintain the prohibitory
syStem ; its wants, its misery, will render smug-
'glint general.

The
nomination of D. A. Vallego to the Fi-
nance Ministry has given such dissatisfaction that
two of the heads of that Department have set off
express for the Escurial to tender to the King, not
only their resignations, but also those of most of
the persons employed in that Department, who
are determined not to serve under Di A. Vallejo.
We are assured there is a division in the Mi-
nistry ; the Ministers of the Interior, of Finance,
and of Justice, are of one side ; and fienores
Bardaxe, Scudero, and Salvader, of the other.
The Minister of Marine is neuter.

OCT. :I)2.—There cannot be a greater proof of the great in-
juries caused to society by religious fanaticism than what is now
passing at Barcelona. The contagion makes dreadful ravages,
and the physicians, who do not succeed with the means of cure,
wish at least that measures of preservation should be adopted.
The Aut►orities r agreeing with them 'in those ideas, -besides
establishing convenient barracks in healthy spots in the coun-
try, where the citizens might fitid an asylum- from the death
which is almost inevitable in tlre'city, had requested the clergy
to avoid all Meetings of a number of persons, which are on
many accounts so well calculated to propagate the contagion.
Yet little has been done ; the narcelonese, like the barbarous
Africans, considering all attempts to avoid a public calamity
.of this kind as an office to the Divinity, remain in their houses,
daily increasing the number, of .victims ; the ecclesiastical au-
thorities, with a kind of apathy which is compatible only, with
the most profound ignorance, permit the service in the churches.
to be attended now even by grater numbers than forMerly, and
the faithful go to pray- to 'God to deliverthem from evils, which.
their own Ministers bring• -On . them ; and as the President of
the Municipal Junta judiciously observes, in his excellent pro-
clamation of the 21st instant, " by a false idea of religion they
expose their flocks to entire destruction."

In consequence of a .negligence• so injurious to the public
health, an express order has been issued prohibiting all nume-
rous meetings in the coffee-houses, theatres, and churches un-
der any pretext whatsoever. We could have wished that in ad-
dition, penalties had been decreed against those who may trans-
gress this order, and that all the churches had heen
,'closed~ and
-some place' appointed Irlie're. the mass might be cehebtated in
the open air.

CAPTURE OF LIMA.

Extract of .a Letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at Buenos
Ayres,'dated-Sept. 4.]

" By a letter received here on the 2d inst.,
dated Santiago de Chili, 13th ult., 1 e. ri., we
learn that the Schooner Montezuma had just ar-
rived from Callao-, with official accounts of Ge-
neral SAN MARTIN having entered Lima by force
of arms."

We have received the French Papers of Tues-
day, Brussels Papers, and Spanish Journals, front
which we give extracts under the usual head of
" Foreign Intelligence." The French Chamber of
Deputies met on Monday, and there not being a
sufficient number present to constitute a House, the
question of adjournment was put, amid consider-
able opposition, but before it could be carried,
some more members arrived, «ho completed the
requisite number, and enabled the Chamber to
proceed to business. •The subject which oc-
cupied their attention related to the reports on
the new. Elections, the whole of which were de-
cided, excepting five, which were to be taken
into consideration on Tuesday, to which day the
Chamber adjourned. The scrutiny for the nomi-
nation of Candidges to the Presidency was to
take place on the same day.

As the period for the. meeting of Parliament
approaches, it becomes desirable that the princi-
pal topics which.are expected to engross:its atten-
tion should be carefully discussed; Amongst
these, the alterations in the Poor Laws, proposee.
byMr,SCARLETT,. are of pre-eminent importance
to the cause of 'humanity, and to the wealth, mo-
rals, populousness, and paver of the "State. The
unsound theories regarding foreign commerce,

and which threaten to overturn the wiie-and sa-

of Englaild will pass from her grasp, and that a

fertilizing: stream :has enriched. her soil, has"

rapidly increased the numbers, and the en-
terprise and intelligence of her people, and
has carried her to a position' ,of power and
glory to %% hich no other country has ever attained.
—From mistaken views in Political Economy, a
science less generally understood than its vast
importance to the welfare of nations merits, and
into which the most mischievous errors have been
introduced by ingenious but superficial theorists,
the depressed agriculture of the kingdom has
been abandoned by Parliament to the ruin which
is overwhelming it,under the fallacious supposition
that by means of a self-rectifying principle the in-

jurious fluctuations of national interests will most
speedily and ad vantageouslyfind their own level;
and that from the spontaneous action of this sup-
posed principle alone, unaided :by the lights of
science and the wisdom of experience, can the
deranged and conflicting interests of the people
be efficaciously restored to harmony and to a

state of progressive prosperity !
While the English pepple are With deep and
intense interest observing the political revolutions
of Foreign States, it is to be feared that an inci-
pient revolution in their own internal condition
has already commenced, and which, though less
conspicuous and striking than mere political
changes, may be far more extensive and ruinous
in•its effects, than any of the sudden and capri-
cious revolutions to which all political institutions

are exposed.
The spirit of innovation' and theoretical expe-
riment is not confined to our political Reformers.
Though with different views and under another

name, it has found its way into the breasts o

many of our most intelligent Legislators, and
even into the Cabinet itself. Professing to le-
gislate solely on practical grounds, and to form
part of a practical Government, the Legislature
of Great Britain has been seduced into the adop-
tion of theories to which innumerable practical

truths are opposed ; and is gradually yielding

to a system which proposes to overthroW the
practical knowledge that has been acquired by
the successful experience of ages.
However imperfect may be the system which
has arisen from the operation of our Poor Laws,
or rather from the grossly ignorant and unskilful
manner in which those laws have been adminis-
tered, nothing can be more true in theory, bene-

icent in design, and praiseworthy in execution

than the principle in which the Poor Laws of
England originated, and on which it must have
been the intention of their original framers that
they should be permanently established and pro-
gressively administered.
But, the original intention, and the express
declaration and injunction .of the early statutes
for making a compulsory provision for the Poor,
was, that employment should be found by their
parishes respectively for all such persons as were
able to work, but were unable of themselves to
find opportunities for the exertion of their in-
dustry. No relief was to be given hut in return
for labour, except to such poor persons as were

incapable of producing their own subsistence,
during childhood, and in infirmity and old age.
It is certain that every human being, in pos-
session of ordinary health and strength, and of
common understanding, is capable of producing
much more than is necessary for the comfortable
subsistence of the individual ; and therefore a
law, which enacted that the Public should afford,
to all its members, opportunities for the exertion
of their powers, for the supplying of their own
wants, admirably provided against the unavoid-
able fluctuations in the demand for labour, which
are occasioned by the unequal distribution of
property, and by the conflicting speculations of
individuals ; and, if such a law had been as jud:-
ciously carried into execution as it was wisely
and humanely conceived, the occurrence of ex-
treme poverty must have been rendered impos-
sible, the support, even of the infirm and aged
poor, might have been effected' without any ex-
pence- to the parishes, the morals of the lower
classes would have been preserved from much
of that vicious contamination to which'the errors
of, the parochial system ha.ve subjected them, and
the continued prosperity of_ the State, by the
continual increase of its population, wealth, re-
venue, and power, would have been insured, on
the only solid and certain foundation,—the pro-
ftablt; and productive emPloyment of the whole of
its people.

Whether the English Poor Laws originated
from. profound views in Political- Economy, or
hether they sprung solely from the benevolent
principle, which accidentally determined that
relief should be 'administered, to the necessitous
through the medium of their own labour, be-
cause such a mode of administering relief ob-
viously presented itself as in some respects advan-
tageous, is immaterial. The more attentively
their foundation principle is examined, the more
apparent does its 4c.cqracy, wisdoin, justice, and

beneficent utility, become. Ift e dite its discs'
very to Benevolence alone, her ways were those
of righteousness and wisdom. If we are kid
debted for it to an enlarged and comprehensive
knowledge of the true sources of national wealth,
it was one 'of the. greatest efforts of, political
wisdom which the world has yet witnessed.
The , ruinous consequences of our Poor Laws
have not sprung from this wise and beautiful
principle. The.), have arisen from -their. original
principle having been abandoned in their practi-
cal administration. In all endeavOurs, therefore,
to rectify the fatal errors which been committe49.
and which have led the country into.a frightful•
abyss of pauperism and demoralization;the -Le=
gislature shOuld carefully distinguish
,between.
the true and beneficial principle, and the false,
and mischievous practices by which that prin..-
civic has been superseded ; and, while -it
stitutes a better system for that which; has•been
so wretchedly inefficient and injurious, shmil47.
carefully preserve the foundation which. ouruna
cestors laid for the security and comfort. of all
classes of the people.

If the poor be employed, merely for the supply
:of their own wants, by their own labour, raising
all the necessary articles of food for their .otcn
• consumption, and fabricating all the requisite ar-.
•
tides of comfort aild utility,. for their own use,
they must, by a very mdderate exertion of hlas-
tr,y, infallibly provide for their Own necessities,
without any expence whatever to the-commu-
nity at large:—lf they be permitted to pro-
duce a surplus over the amount which is
required for the supply of their own wants,
and if that-:Surplus be admitted for sale into
the usual markets, it is:eqtially obvious that
the poor, instead of being a burthen, may be .
converted into.a source of .profit, either to their
parishes -respectively; or to the State.
It is quite impossible :that it should he other-
wise. Every human being, of fUll age and ordi-
nary.strength, being capable of producing, _with
the aid of science and mechanism, as much.of the
goods of life as are necessary for the consumption
of ten individuals, it is in the nature of things that
the employment of their poWers, if those powers
be judiciously directed, must be more than
.suffi-
cient for their own subsistence.—And, if the in-
dustrious powers of the poor be directed, in the
first instance, to the production of necessaries for
'THEIR OWN consumption,and not to the creation of
produce intended for sale, in order that the neces-
saries may begfterwardsprocured, from theproceeds
of such sale, that direction of their industry, so far
as it extends, will be a judicious direction, and a
safe, certain, and beneficent method of promoting
the. health and insuring the comfort anal happi-
ness of the Poor, while it in proportion to.
the extent of-its application, immediately .reliev,e
the Public from the intolerable burthen of their
support.

Far are we from being disposed to add to the-
weight of affliction ; and, therefore, though' we
feel; some compassion for the Sister of CAttir.t.E,
who has been sentenced to a heavy punishment,
yet, as her guilt hivalves the labours of BLAS-
PHEMY on the one hand; and the sacred cause of
CHRISTIANITY on the other, it is of importance to -
the awful concerns of our holy faith that due
punishment should be inflicted, not merely on
account of the offending female, who probably
,•
acted under influence, but because it is proper to
deter other offenders from attempting to ensnare
the minds of the unwary, and thereby to weaken
those hallowed bonds which are the best
supports of the Institutions upon which the
very existence of Society depends. No country
can exist withoUt some religion, and as the
Christian dispensation, in particular, irrefra-
gably demonstrates its divine origin, it is the
duty of Government to give to it all pos-
sible support, for the immediate welfare of the

State, and the general benefit of mankind. The
sentence against Miss CIMALE, though. ap-
parently severe, is called for by,the magnitude
of her guilt, and the dangerous tendency of the
works to which she gave circulation; but much
depends on her own conduct during her impri-
sonment, and there can- be
.no doubt that she will
experience due mitigation, if she manifests such
a .proper sense of her crime as may promise a
suitable amendment in her future life.
