FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE-ZICLUSIVE.

PARIS, Nov. 19.
Si a,—ln the ever-changing panorama of European po-
litics, any anticipations, however well-founded, however
logically deduced; are liable to the usual errors of prophecy.
When I wrote you, some posts since, from the speeches of
Sebastiani, Maison, and Bignon, the public mind felt a con-
viction, that a long and undisturbed repose seemed to await
the nations of Europe. Since that period, however, we have
had alarming rumours, of the hostile demonstrations of our
neighbours. By an imperial ukase, it appears that Russia
is equipping, for active warfare, her countless legions, and
orders have been issued for the advance of her enormous
masses upon her western frontier. The appointment of
Sebastiani, to the department of Foreign Affairs, will be
highly displeasing to the Emperor, who has not, formally, even
yet recognized the new government of Franco. It is known,
that immediately after the accession of the present king, when
rumour pointed out the probability of Sebastiani's appointment
Ito the Portfolio he now holds, that Pose° di Borgo—that
wily statesman—called on the King, and stated that, not in
his official capacity, but merely as a friend and well-wisher,
be felt it his duty to apprize the new-made Monarch, that
such an appointment would be highly displeasing to his Im-
perial master, and probably might prevent a recognition.
Consequently, Sebpstiani was appointed to the Navy, which
not bringing hini in contact with the Cabinet of St. Peters-
burgh, was less offensive to the Autocrat. However, Russia
has not diplomatically entered into relations with the Court
of France, and Sebastiani has gained the object of his on-
bition.

It was remarked here as a singular circumstance,
that when the Russian Government promulgated an Ukase,
offering a reward for the best essays, on the nature and
treatment of that dreadful disease, the cholera morbus,
which is now desolating her finest provinces, that although
Sweden, Denmark, and many minor kingdoms, were in.
vited to contribute their medical knowledge, that
France, so eminent in her curative schools, and where
so many chemical, and pathological discoveries had been
made, was omitted in the list. This, although but a trifling
circumstance, probably was indicative of the animus by
which the imperial councils am governed. On chandler hand,
Austria appears to be awakening from a lethargy ; and by
immense purchases of homes, and military stores, MOMS
to prepare for actual service. She is powerfully
reinforcing the garrisons on the confines of Italy ;
and to the knowledge of the best informed, is ad-
vancing more numerous troops to her Italian frontiers, than
any circumstances could require, short of a combined plan of
operation, in conjunction with her powerful neighbanra,
Prussia is gradually advancing her legume upon Belgium,
and, from the disturbed state of that country, seems to be
more warranted in demonstrations of hostility, than the
other Powers. Them are formidable attitudes taken
up by the great powers of Europe ; and are pro-
bably the forerunners of some combination of the
against those kingdoms. which bare embraced
opinions. and constitutional governments. France, situate
in the metre of Europa, and seeing troops marebing an an

aides, towards her boundaries, cannot be Indifferent to diesel
ominous movements ; and already General Gerard is on the
wee to set out on a tour of inspectionof the northern fortresses,
ter the purpose of placing them in a serviceable state. An army
of 50,000 men will be forthwith assembled on the Rhine, to
be placed under the command of the above named officer.
This will hold in check any hostile attempt on that frontier.
The Duc d'Almatia—Soult--who has hardly had time to
look around him in his new situation, to which, however,
he is no stranger, having occupied it under the vigorous,
Government of the Empire, has been consulted. He states,
that by the first of January, 1831, he will have an army if
two hundred thousand men, fully equipped for the field, and
longing for nothing so much as to make a campaign; and
that by the first of March, a similar number of men will be
ready disciplined, and burning to join their brethren in arms.
The only two other political incidents, the subject of
conversation in Paris, are the trial of the enthusiastic Caine
Kergorlay, and the Proprietors of the Papers, the particulars
of which are already before you.

We have received the following letter, dated the Frontiers
of Russia, November 9th.—Marshal Count Debeitcb is ex-
pected to pass in review the troops which come from the
interior, and to regulate their different stations and their
maintenance. He will return afterwards to Berlin, or re-
main charged with an extraordinary mission. The number
of troops which are united upon the frontiers, is about
200,000 men, with 400 cannon. There are seven corps of
the army, which includes that of the Paving*. The develops-
meat of a military force so considerable is a very serious
demonstration. All the Russian army in the interior is in
motion, and occupies the cantonments and the garrisons,
which the troops who have gone to the frontiers have
quitted. Should the army enter the campaign. it will be
commanded by Count Debeitch."—Journal des Debate.

" By the orders of Marshal Soult, our strong places are
to be rapidly provisioned; all our soldiers who have been
disbanded are to be recalled under the flags ; an army of
150,000 men are to be carried before a month upon our
Northern frontiers ; an extraordinary credit of 130 millions
will be, it is said, demanded of the Chambers, to be placed
at the disposal of the Minister of War ; and by Spring, atl
the latest, all the frontiers of France will be defended by
formidable military lines, supported by a population com-
posed of three classes of armed citixens."....Le Temps.

Accounts from Copenhagen state that there have been
very serious disturbances in the Duchies of Sleswick and
Holstein, which have rendered it necessary for the King of
Denmark to issue a proclamation.

The Committee of the Chamber of Peers, to whom is re-
ferred the law on the security-money, the stamps and post-
age imposed on the public journals, yesterday received the
editors and proprietors of the principal papers of Paris, to
hear their observations, and enter into all the details relative
to their vital interests and the charges imposed upon them.
The members of the Committee showed every disposition to
take into consideration the explanations offered to them,
whether written or verbal, and no doubt will introduce them
into their report. There is, therefore, every reason to hope
that the Law Project, amended according to these special
communications, will be such as to remove all difficulties."—
Courier Francais.

Letters from Perpignan of the 20th inst. Mate, that the
superior authorities of Catalonia have interdicted all com-
munication between the French and the Spaniards. The
head of the bridge Pont de Madame, and the whole line
of the frontier are closely guarded. This measure has
thrown the inhabitants of Cerdagne into consternation.
The Prefect has remonstrated with the Spanish authorities
against these proceedings. Orders have been given by this
officer to send all the Spanish refugees without exce=
into the interior. The diligences are daily filled with
and the Prefect affords pecuniary aid to those who ham ass
the means of paying their travelling expenses.

Extract of a letter dated Paycerda, Nov. 15th.—" The
Count d'Espegue arrived here last night with sixty infantry
and fifty cavalry. He immediately ordered all Premiums
to quit the Spanish territory, and forbids us, under pain sif
death, to pus over the French territory. According to
reports in circulation here, the Captain-General of Catalonia,
has addressed to the Prefect of the Eastern Pyrenees, very
serious remonstrances. He asserts that the Spanish terri-

tory has been violated by the Spanish refugees; that seve-
ral Frenchmen were incorporated with these rebels ; that
the French Government had tolerated them in organising
and equipping themselves in its territory, and the Prefect
of the Eastern Pyrenees had protected and assisted them
with his council. It is added, that the Captain-General has
transmitted to our Government, papers which prove all these
faets, and that be solicits the Court of Madrid to demand
satisfaction of France."

tersburgh.

PEACE on WAR—is a question of moment, which is
agitated in the manufactories and in the thatched cottages,
as in saloons and palaces. So much the better! It proves
that the national honour is to no part a stranger, 'and that
the patriotie artery of the social body beats lively. Should
the Government profit by this vital movement, we would
display, with that activity which saves empires, all the re-
sources of the great nation ; we would set liberty on foot
through the land, if we set forth the invincible legions, by
which we will defend the independence of the country, and
whom the Chinn-IC* would himself conduct to victory.
Unto the Kings of Europe we give this intelligence. Peace,
we wish not to see dkmuW • war, we fear not: if the s*sd
is given, we shall again find Jemmapes and Ausieriits.
We are convinced that the only means to preserve peace, if
it is possible to maintain it, is to take an attitude full of
dignity, as well becomes a free people. Foreign Govern
mints are well enough able to make some reflections.
They are upheld by their armies ; we are supported by the
people; &mind in *sir hopes, in us they will see their,
liberators ; for the ambition of the conquest will tempt us so
more. We respect the independence of nations; liberty
accompanies victory, and she language of di*.
meg should be to other than that of humanity.
—Having coalesce in the future, if Kings are enlightened
upon their true interests, they will hesitate before they call
es upon the field of battle, to see definitively settled the
quarrel oTthe right divine, and the rights of the people. In
that struggle the greatest damps would not be for us ;
eat 4aubt we should suffer an the bawler ; annielle

would lose' much ; we must submit to these sacrifice.
but, once get out triumphantly of an unjust eg:
gression, what a career of prosperity will be opened
before us ! what a new movement will be given to industry
Ito commerce, to agriculture ! what immense advantage, 'e;
behold our independence and our liberties out of danger,
Thus we are reassured. It depends on foreigners to nun,:
taro pew.. We have renounced the idea of intervention •
may the continent of Europe follow the example of Englad'
And without England who fear, it ? If the spirit of mad:
nese maintains dominion in the council of kingu if
the aristocracy, wounded in its affections, decides for Wit
we accept the challenge without fear. We recal the well:
known words of Julius Caesar: "If the ialiabitards of
Gaul be wilted, they may brave the world be arms." The
world cannot shake us ; union exists, and it is not in the
power of any to disturb it.—Le Constitutimmel.

The alarm of war on the Continent, has not had tnyef_
fuct on the Funds ; to the contrary, they have improved.
but this was owing to the Chancery having purchased agaj
the shutting of Cousots on Thursday; the lowes price or
Consols this morning was 82k, and the highest 82t, and at
present they are 820 for the account. Money Stock is
yet scarce, though not to the extent it was felt during the
last account. 'Tis a holiday at the Bank. We have no po.
litical news to the present time. In the Foreign market
there has been sucne few purchases of Spanish fur Dutch
