FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS, OCT. 21.—The king transacted busi-
mess yesterday with the Duke de Richelieu, and
afterwards went to St. Cloud.

The Duke de Talleyrand Perigord, Cardinal
Archbishop of Paris, died yesterday morning,

aged 85.

The accounts from Perpignan, dated the 11th
instant, give very afflicting details respecting the
situation of Barcelona. It appears that all the
quarters of the town were infected, together with
the villages within the cordon. The mortality
-was very considerable. The Bishop is amongst
the number of the victims.
The reports respecting the existence and ra-
vages of the yellow fever at Malaga are con-
tradicted.
The number of deaths at Barcelona are esti-
mated at from 10 to 15,000.
Letters from Saragossa of the 3d state, that
Mequinenza is the only town in Arragon ravaged
by the yellow fever, and that a cordon had been
stationed round it.
Dr. Andouara, sent by the Minister of War
to Barcelona, left Toulouse on the 13th for the
former town.

22.—The King yesterday received the
Ministers, several Marshals, Generals, and Mili-
tary Officers of all ranks, and Prince Castelcicala,
the Neapolitan Ambassador.
Letters from Leghorn of the 9th, and from
Florence of the 10th, make no mention of the
contagious disorder said to have manifested.itself
on the coast of Tuscany) and especially at
Leghorn.
Letters from Perpignan of the 13th state that
news had been received from Barcelona as late
as the 9th, on which day the French Physicians
had arrived in that unfortunate town, and were
welcomed with the most enthusiastic gratitude by
the inhabitants : the arrival of these courageous
physicians had inspired general confidence. They
began by demanding that the cordon, establish-
ed at a league's distance round Barcelona, should
be extended to two leagues, in order that the in-
habitants may encamp outside the town, expe-
rience having proved that those persons who
took this precaution have escaped the contagion.
The number of deaths in Barcelona from the 7th

of September to the 6th of October, amounted to
upwards of 10,000.
A letter has just been received at Paris from
Barcelona, dated the 10th, written by one of
the French physicians, M. Bally, of which the
following is an extract :—" The disorder con-
tinues its ravages. We are very quiet ; the
weather is remarkably fine, and we can scarcely
conceive it possible to be ill under such a beau-
tiful sky. We have plenty of provisions. The
number of deaths is estimated at from 10,000 to
15,000. The sick multiply daily, and 'yester-
day we were called to visit one in a dreadful
state ; it was too late, he died this morning."
ODESSA, SEPT. .24.—Letters from Petersburgh,
of the 16th, r( peat the report circulated in the
capital, that our Cabinet has declined the pro-
position of Austria and England, relative to a
Congress to deliberate on the affairs of Turkey.
.A.t:Gsßulton, OcT. 15.—ft is regarded as cer-
tain that the King of Prussia will proceed imme-
diately to the frontiers of his States, to-have an
interview with his Britannic Majesty.
FRANKFORT, OCT. 14.—1 t is reported that
the Court of Austria has withdrawn the propo-
sals for a loan of 30,000,000 florins.
OCT. 15.—A Russian Courier, arrived this
morning at Vienna, has brought intelligence,
that the Emperor of Russia would arrive on the
30th Sept. at the head-quarters at Minsk.
Om 16.—We learn from the Banks of the
Vistula, under date the 25th of September, that
there is no longer any talk about a Congress or a
Mediation, nor any doubt that the determination
of Russia is immutable. All Europe cannot pre-
vent Russia from invading Turkey, if such is her
intention ; the opportunity is favourable, her
military forces are great beyond conception, and
have reached a high state of perfection.
VIENNA, Our. 10.—The States of Austria have
opened their Session ; .the Members of the Diet
are arrived, and a Deputation presented to the
Emperor this morning their homage.
Since the arrival of a courier from Petersburg,
it is reported that the Emperor Alexander had
arrived on the 30th of September.—[The remain-
der of this article has been suppressed by the
Censorship.]
A great number of young foreigners are now
here, who intended to proceed to Greece by the
way of Trieste, but who cannot obtain passports.
The greater part of them are so
.poor that they
cannot pay the expences of returning home. The
Greeks of this city have assembled to assist them,
but the aid is insufficient. Some foreign officers,
who attempted to enlist. these young men for
Greece, were immediately conveyed beyond the
fron tiers.

It is said,that in consequence of formal demands
addressed by the Reis Effendi to our Internuncio
at Constantinople, the exportation of arms, am-
munition, horses, &c., to those Turkish Provinces
where the Greeks are under arms, has been pro-
hibited, and that the prohibitio❑ has been ex-
tended to prevent all persons, of whatever nation,
from traversing the Austrian States to prOceed.to
Greece. It is certain, that several travellers who
Ind reached Trieste and Fiume have been ob-
liged to return, although they had regular pass-
ports.
The same system has been adopted in the
Austrian provinces, in Italy, in some of the Ita-
lian States, at Rome, and in Naples. Letters
from Leghorn' state, that it was not permitted to
any persons to proceed either to the Morea,
Etolia, or the Islands of the Archipelago.
AIX-LA-CnAPELLE, OCT. 17.—Reports of war
and peace succeed each other. It seems that
Russia persists in its determination to occupy im-
mediately with its troops Moldavia and Walachia.
Prince Metternich continues to have ftequent

conferences at Vienna with the Ministers of I
the Great Powers.
Despatches are frequently received at Vienna
from the tßaron de Lebzeltern, the Austrian
Minister at Petersburgh. His Excellency will
not follow the Emperor Alexander to the army
of the West.
Baussr.Ls, OCT. 18.—The first Sitting of the
Second Chamber of the States General, fixed for
the 16th, did not take place, because there were
only twenty-five Members present. The Pro-
vincial States of North Brabant, in their Sitting
of the 12th, have determined on opening a canal
between Bois-le-Duc and Maestricht, the ex-
pence of which is estimated at 280,000 florins.
MADIUD, OCT. it—The Sittings of the Cortes
up to' yesterday have been entirely dedicated to
the discussion of the law for the territorial divi-
sion of Spain.
The arrival of an express from Cadiz has
given rise to all kinds of reports respecting an I
extraordinary resolution adopted by this town
as to its government. It is even said that Cadiz
and the Isla de Leon meditate the design of de-
claring themselves free and independent towns.
The elections of Deputies for Madrid are
finished, and the result is in favour-of the liberal
party.
The partizan Zaldivar has experienced another
defeat, and is closely pursued.
A new conspiracy, has been discovet-d at Ge-
rona. Several arrests have taken place, but the
particulars are not yet known.
The Minister of War has not resigned, as was
reported ; and to-day it is said the Political
Chief, 1). Jos6 St. Martin Martinez, means to
retire, but little reliance is placed on the report.
[Extract of a Private Letter.]—We continue
to enjoy apparent tranquillity. The revolu-
tionary party is predominant; and•the Electors
who are to choose the Deputies have been almost
all taken horn among the Ultra-Liberals.-----The
French Journal, the Regulateur, announces that
a counter-revolution is openly working in Spain ;
grounding its assertion on the detention of li.iego,
and the closing of the Club of La Fontana.—lt
is again reported that some houses at Paris are
in negociation for the new loan. •
LISBON, OCT. 4.—The Cortes have adopted
the article of the Constitution which prevents
the King from interfering with the elections, from
proroguing or dissolving the Cortes, or protest-
ing against their decrees. An amendment was
added and adopted, which enacts that, if the
King acts contrary to the present article, he shall
be considered as having abdicated the crown,
and his Privy Counsellors shall be prosecuted
and punished as traitors to their country.

TRANSACTIONS AT PENSACOLA.

PENiACOLA, Auo. s.—The extraordinary ex-
citement of our townsmen on the occasion, exclu-
sive of general considerations, made us very so-
licitous to give this day the best history we could
procure of the much-to-be-lamented transactions
of the 22d inst., which we feel assured were no
less painful to the party ordering than to the
party suffering the penalty ;of th law. The
statement given is unquestionable.—We have no
wish to remark on the transaction, conceiving it

as of a peculiarly delicate nature, further than
to remind our readers that a difficulty of a simi-
lar kind occurred in Louisiana, on its being take❑
possession of by the United States, when the
former Intendant was imprisoned for a week by
Governor Claiborne, for not surrendering papers
under similar circumstances ; and that Galvez at

this place imprisoned Colonel Campbell for many
months on bare suspicion of his having in his
possession papers of a public nature, and be-
longing to, the property and sovereignty of the
country.--:(Flutidian.)

STATEMENT.

On information given to the Alcade, that pub

lk documents or records required by individuals
to enable them to prosecute their claims, were in
the possession of a person of the name of Sousa,
he communicated the fact by petition to the Go-
vernor. On this, a commission yns given in

writing to Col. Walton, to the Alcade, and to
Col. Miller, the clerk of the County Court, au-
thorizing them to wait on Sousa, and request
him to exhibit, and deliver to them, all such
public documents as were in his possession relating
to the property in the Floridas,w hi ch no individual
had a right to retain, and in case of his refusal, to re-
port the fact to the Governor. When these gentle-
men waited on Sousa, on the morning of the 21st, he
exhibited 2 open boxes, containing papers which he
said belonged ' to the military department and to
the revenue, and which were entrusted to him by
the late Governor for safe keeping. On examin-
ing the papers, those sought for were found, to-i
gether with three other records of suits between
individuals, involving the title to property in
\Vest Florida. A demand was then made of
these papers, but refused by Sousa, on the ground
that he had no controut over them ; but he de-
dared that he would immediately communicate
the demand, which was made to him in writing,
to the late Governor.—These facts being report-
ed to the Governor, he commissioned Col. But-
ler and Col. Walton, secretary of West Florida,
accompanied by the Alcade, to make a demand
of the papers ; and iu case of a refusal, to require
Sousa to accompany them to the Governor's
office. They accordingly went to his house be-
tween 11 and 12 o'clock on the 22d, where they
found Sousa, and made the demand ; when he
informed them that he had sent the papers to

Col. Callava's. lie was then brought before the
Governor, and on being interrogated, acknow-
ledged that the particular papers required had
been in his possession ; that they related to pro-
perty in this country ; that they were in certain
boxes with other papers, which he had delivered
into the keeping-of Colonel Callava's steward,
and that they were then in Callava's house. A
written commission was then given to Colonel
Butler and Dr. Bronaugh, acggilipai)ied by the
Alcade, .to repair to ths: house of Golonei callava,
to make a demand of him of these papers, and in
case of refusal, to require Colonel Ca!lava and
the steward to appear before the Governor.
I About fiv,e 0'404 in Ole ,eyeplag they repaired

to the house of Colonel Callava, and found him
surrounded by Spanish officers in uniform, with
their side arms, haying just returned. from a
dinner party. Colonel Butler immediately stated
his business, and made a demand of the papers,-
which had been taken to his house by Sousa,
in contempt of the authority of the Governor.
Colonel Callava said that Sousa was acting only

as his servant, that he himself was responsible ;
but that he claimed the, privilege allowed him
by the laws of nations ; that he could not be pro-
ceeded against as a private individual : that l►e
held the papers as late Governor, and that his
powers, as• Commissioner, were still in force : that
if among the papers which were in his possession,
any should be found which ought to be surren-
dered under the treaty, if demanded of him, as
Commissioner, in writing, he would reply. Co-

onel Butler then stated fiis orders, which were

read to Colonel Callava : and then informed him

nit the Governorwas acting in his civil capacity

n the execution of the laws ; that formal com-
)laint had been made that these papers were im-
_

Iroperly withheld, and that the Governor could

. .
not recognize Col. Callava in any other capacity
than a common individual, while in the execution of
his duties under the laws. He then demanded the
papers, which were refused ; he then required
him to appear at the Governor's office, which he
refused. Col. Butler then stated • that he was
setting at defiance the authority of the Governor,
in the execution of the laws, and that he might
expect the'consequenfes; he still persisted in his,
refusal ; but when these gentlemen were about to
withdraw, he said that on a list being given to him
the papers should be delivered to Col. Butler, if
found in the boxes ; to this Colonel Butler, and
those who accompanied him, acceded, and with-
drew. Shortly after, the Alcade, Judge Breck-
enridge, returned, and presented him the list, at
the same time stating that Col. Butler and Dr. Bro-
naugh would call in two hours, and expo-ct to re-
ceive the papers. Col. Callava then said, that the
list must be first translated ; that the demand
must be made of him as Commissioner; and that
he must have time to give his reply. After the
two hours had .elapsed, which was about nine
o'clock P. 24., Col. Butler, and Dr. Bronaugh,
with the Alcade, and accompanied by a guard,

under the command of Lieut. Mounts, proceeded
to the house of Col. Callava. They found the
door locked, and demanded admittance three
times distinctly, without receiving any answer.—
It was then discovered, that the door on the op-

posite side was open, and several officers, sitting
without candle, in the porch. When Col. Cal-
lava was demanded, no one replied. ' Col. Butler
then stepped into the house, an 4 entered one of
the rooms in which a light' was burning, and in
which there was a bed ; on examining which
Col. Gallava•was found lying on it, with his coat
off. lie arose apparently much astonished : the
demand for the papers, as agreed upon, was re-
newed : he persisted in his refusal : when told

he must prepare to go before the Governor, he
replied he would not quit his house alive : he
was then told force would be used. Col. Butler
said he hoped he would not render it necessary :
that he might considCr himself forced : on his still
refusing, the officer of the guard was called in :
he then put on his uniform coat, and was con-
ducted to the office of the Governor. On his enter-
ing the office, he was requested by the Governor to
take a seat at the table. The Governor informed
him of the nature of the business for which he

was called, and that he was required to answer
whether certain boxes containing papers had not
been delivered into his possession by Sousa e he
requested permission to put down his answer in
Spanish, which was granted : he began to dic-
tate a protest against the proceedings, on the
ground of his being a Commissioner on the part
of Spain, &c. ; but was interrupted, and required
to say whether he would or would not answer
the question propounded to him directly ? lle
then positively refused ; 'on which the steward,
Fullaratt, was examined, and acknowledged that
the boxes were delivered to him by Sousa, and
were then in Callava's,house. The Governor
now stated to Colonel Callava that he had been
officially informed that the papers demanded
were seen in the possession of Sousa, that, by
Sousa's confession, they were delivered in certain
boxes to Callava's steward, and that they were
then in his house„. lie was, therefore, advised
to deliver them up, or his refusal would be
considered a contempt of the Governor's autho-
rity. Callava persisted in his refusal nearly two
hours, still alleging that he was privileged as a
Commissioner, and not responsible as an indivi-
dual, and making impassioned appeals to the by-
standers against the procedure, and at the same
time against the indignity offered to a person of
his rank and distinction. Ile was repeatedly
I told by the Governor, that he could not view him
in any other light than as an individual wiiO had
in his possession documents which no individual
had a right to retain ; that, under the second
article of the treaty, all papers relating to the
property of the country were to be delivered up ;
that it concerned the- inhabitants, whose titles
and rights were itivaXed ; that for their protec-
tion, and those claiminz under them, it was his
duty to place theM 'in the hands of the Alcade
for safe keeping. lie warned Colonel Callava
of the consequence's-of his refusal, and reiterated
his demand. Every Means being at length found
unavailing, Colonel Callava, as also Sousa and
the steward, were committed to prison by the
Governor, until the papers should be obtained.
A guard had been placed at Colonel Callava's
house, with strict orders that every thing should
be kept in exactly the same state in which it
was left, The next morning the Governor gave
a special commission to Col. Wilson, Secretary,
Col. Miller, Mr. Shannon, and Mr. Brownjohn,
accompanied by the Alcade, to .go to the house
of Callava, and to open the box containing the
papers ; those which had been enumerated and
had been demanded of Callava, if found, to be
taken and brought Co the Governor's office, and
then to close th 6 box, placing a seal upon it.—
This was•accordingly- done, -and in one of the
boxes, recently sealed by Callava, the papers
were found and' accordingly deposited at the
office of the GoVernor. An order was then is-
sued for the release Of CO! callava, of Sionsa, and
Op Steward,
