FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAYERS.
(From the lliessairr des Chambres of Friday.)
FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, FEB. 12.—Since the re-
turn of a courier from Constantinople to Belgrade, a
great degree of agitation has prevailed. It was ap-
prehended that some unfortunate event had taken
place : the most unfavourable reports began to be
spread. The merchants, however, have only re-
ceived news of some advantages obtained by the
Russians in Wallachia; and there has long been
every reason to suppose that the Russians would
do their utmost to drive the Turks from the left
bank of the Danube before the opening of the
campaign.
Among the numerous conjectures, one is that the
Pacha of Belgrade may probably soon leave that
city to occupy another post. In the midst of all
these reports letters of the 29th of January were re-
ceived from Constantinople, but they brought no
news of any importance. It was said that M. Jau-
bert would perhaps soon leave, without obtaining
any of the concessions which the Minister of the
Netherlands had expected. Fresh couriers were im-
mediately despatehed to France and England. The
Porte retains a firm attitude, and does not abate in
any respect of its obstinacy.
Aucsnuttott,Mitacn I.—The mail from Bucharest
of I lth February has brought no news from the
banks of the Danube, where no military operation
has taken place since the capitulation of Tournoul.
Private letters from Constantinople, received at
Vienna by express, speak of the inflexible resolution
of the Sultan not to be dictated to, but to exert
every effort in maet the dangers which threaten
him.

Nagib Effendi, Charge d'Affaires of the Pacha of
Egypt, is gone to Alexandria with an order from
the Sultan to the Viceroy of Egypt, to equip as
soon as possible 40,000 men, and send them to join
the Imperial army. Similar orders have been sent
to Syria, Bagdad, and to all the Pachas.
Three thousand sailors have arrived from Egypt
at Constantinople to reinforce the crews of the fleet,
in the fitting out of which workmen are employed
day and night, as it is to be ready to put to sea in
the beginning of April.,
At Vienna, xselsewhere, the stock-jobbers do every
thing to make the funds decline, but no attention
should be paid to the reports which they circulate
almost periodically, to make it believed that nothing
can bring about peace, which all the Powers of
Europe are endeavoisring in concert to re-establish.

been for the present abandoned. The regiments of regular
Cossacks, from the Don and the Black Sea, which are to
reinforce the army in the field, are said to have already
commenced their march to the Danube. It is thought, on
the other hand, that the Cossacks of the Ural will be
ordered to join the army of the Caucasus in the next cam-
paign. With respect to the Cossacks of the Ukraine it is
probable that only small detachments will be employed, be-
cause they chiefly consist of irregular cavalry whose ser-
vices, considering the peculiar nature of the present war,
could not be very important.

. The French Papers contain little news of moment.
The Messager dcs Chambres of Friday states, on
the authority of private letters from Constantinople,
that the SULTAN has dispatched an order to the
Viceroy of EGYPT for a reinforcement of 40,000
men, which are to be sent off to join the Imperial
army. Similar orders, adds the same authority, have
been dispatched to Syria, Bagdad, and to all the
other Pachas.

On Tuesday last a highly respectable Deputation,
accompanied by Mr. BRUNEL, the engineer, whose
abilities and perseverance in the magnificent work
now under his hands cannot be too highly appre-
ciated, had an interview with the Duke of WEL-
LINGTON on the subject of the Thames Tunnel.
The interview, if not altogether successful, was yet
far from unsatisfactory, inasmuch as his Grace, after

minutely enquiring into the exact sums requisite to
complete the undertaking, requested that an estimate
of its expenses and probable profits might as soon
as possible be transmitted to him. We hope
that he will still further be induced to ap-
ply for a loan to Government, and thereby
connect his unequalled reputation with the
completion of a work every way worthy of him.
We hope that the warrior, the statesman, and the
patriot, who has already achieved the most tran-
scendent military, civil, and political victories that
the annals of the modern world can produce, will
allow his name to be handed down to posterity in a
new department of patriotism, as the promoter and
the patron of an undertaking not less creditable to
the enterprise of England, than her military ways to
ancient Rome, or the roads over the Simplon to
NAPOLEON.

Indeed, we can conceive nothing more worthy of
Great Britain, or one more deserving of her consi-
deration during a period of Universal Peace, than the
Thames Tunnel. It is a fitting monument of her
grandeur in conception, and her perseverance in
execution. It stands boldly out alone in the annals
of science, like a broad rock on the ocean. What
a thousand pities then, that for the mere
consideration of a sum which, calculated at
