FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Journal du Commerce of Saturday.)

PARIS, APRIL 10.-The Count d'Ofalia, Ambassador
of Spain at Paris, sets out to-morrow for Madrid : he has
bad his audience of leave. It is affirmed that his Excel-
lency may very likely be appointed Minister of Foreign
Affairs, in the room of M. Salmon, whose health is very
bad.

(After mentioning the arrival of the Bramble from Lis-
bon, with letters of the 28th of March, the Journal du
Commerce adds) :
The letters from Lisbon, also of the 28th of March,
which have been received to-day at Paris, confirm the
news of the shameful conduct of Don Miguel towards his
sister the late Regent. They add, that several Bishops
have been arrested, among whom are the Bishops of Al-
garves, Beja, and Evora. Orders had also been given to
arrest the Marchioness of Lorna, but she had the good
fortune to escape, and was received on board the French
ship of war which is in the Tagus. It is certain that
the Ministers of War and Marine have sent in their resig-
nations.

A letter from Turin, says the tumult caused in the Uni-
versity of this city, by the removal of the Professor of
Moral Theology, has led to the following measures :-Ist,
The seminary has been shut up, and the pupils dismissed
indefinitely ; 2d, The Professorship of Moral Theology has
been provisionally suppressed ; 3dly, The dismissed Profes-
sor has received the advice to take a journey out of his
Majesty's dominions, and is gone to Milan.

EARTHQUAKE IN SPAIN.

MADRID, MARCH 30.

The earthquake which we experienced here on the 21st
instant, at a quarter-past six o'clock p.m., was felt on the
same day, ar.d at the same hour, in the province of Murcia,
where it was attended with the most melancholy conse-
quences. Below is a summary of the letters received to-
day from that unfortunate province, dated on the 28th
instant.

nor a single edifice but has been considerably damaged;

other towns and villages, have suffered greatly.

up its two salt lakes.

number of dead and wounded of its inhabitants is very

The earthquake of the 21st was accompanied with a
fearful noise. Travellers observed a column of fire, which
