FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Journal des Debats.)
" Reports of the most extraordinary nature are in circulation
respecting the affairs of Spain. We shall lay before our readers
the different accounts we have been able to collect either from
journals or from private correspondence.
" The Precurseur, a paper published at Lyons, on the 6th
instant contains the following statement A great and extensive
plot has been discovered in Rodil's division of the Army of Obser.
vat ion. At a given signal, the troops were to break up, part
leaving Spain, and the other part going into the interior to join
confederates. Just before the time fixed for the execution of this
plan, which had its ramifications throughout the whole of the
army, five officers of different ranks, 11 non-commissioned officers,
and 40 privates, were arrested, and immediately shot. General
Rodil, and also the General-in-Chief, Sarsfield, sent expresses to
the King, to inform him that they cannot answer for the army—
that they wish to resign—and that they are convinced of the im-
possibility of retaining the troops in the line in their duty. The
King immediately despatched couriers to Paris, to solicit aid, or at
least an escort to accompany him from Madrid to France.
" The Council of State is constantly occupied with financial
measures to meet the expence of arming and equipping 24,000
men of the new levy, and the ten regiments of provincial militia
called into active service. A clean sweep has been made of all the
money collected by the custom-house and other boards."
" This news, which has been circulating for some days past, ap-
pears to be confirmed by private letters from Madrid, dated the
12th. These letters add, that a detachment of the Royal Guard
in garrison at Madrid has also deserted.
" The Precurseur adds, The news we have received to-day
from Madrid, by our private correspondence, is of the highest im-
portance. The King of Spain asks from Charles X. an escort to
conduct him to France. We perhaps should have thought that
this was a very rash report, had we not received a confirmation of
it through another channel.'
" A letter from Marseilles, dated Nov. 12, says—' Passengers
arrived in a Catalonian bark, which made the passage in 24 hours,
announce that the King of Spain was on his way to Pampeluna, to
put himself under the protection of the French.'
" Though it may be nearly certain that desertion prevails in
Rodil's corps of observation, we believe there is no truth in the
report, either of an application for an escort made by the King of
Spain to the King of France, or of his Catholic Majesty's depar-
ture for Pampeluna. The letters from Madrid, dated the 12th,
contain nothing which can' induce us to suppose that the King
had left Madrid.
" Letters from Vienna, dated March 10, state ' M. Rocca
Pinto, a Brazilian Commander, arrived here the day before yes-
terday. It is said that Tie is commissioned to invite the Infante
Don Miguel to repair to Rio de Janeiro. But we are assured
that the Infante declares he will wait until answers be received
from his brother, the Emperor, to the letters, of which M. Neu-
mann, who lately departed from England, is the bearer.'
" A Journal of this day contains the following statement :
By a letter from Augsburg we are made acquainted with the
cause of the arrest of Father Jobbs, the confessor of the Empress
of Austria. It appears that this ecclesiastic, who belongs to the
order of the Ligorians, carried on an extensive correspondence
with the Grand Dignitaries of the ecclesiastical hierarchy resid-
ing in several European capitals. The activity of this corre-
spondence having attracted the attention of the police, it was in-
tercepted, and a discovery was made of plans of an extremely
dangerous tendency against the Governments of several great
States. The publication of the proceedings now instituted is
looked forward to with great impatience.'

" LIES OF THE DAY.
" PARIS, Maacas 20.—The Quotidienne.—Telles Jordao has'
obtained an advantage over the Constitutionalists at the bridge of
Bares, and the son of the Count de Villa Flor has been wounded.
" Letters from Madrid have brought us the confirmation of this
brilliant success.
" The Journal des Debats.—On a signal being given, the
whole division of General Rodil was to disband itself. The King
of Spain has just set out for Pampeluna. fi
" The Precurseur.—The King of Spain has just sent to ask,
at Paris, for an escort to accompany him to France."
" BORDEAUX, MARCH 17.—Letters received here within these
few days give a frightful picture of the situation of the several
independent states of America. It is positively known that Chili
and Peru are without government, and that the name of Bolivar
is generally abhorred there. The President of the former Republic
is changed almost every week. Gen. Lara, whom Bolivar left iu
Peru, to govern in his name, has caused several Members of the
Congress of Lima to be shot, who had endeavoured to throw off
the yoke of the dictator. Further north, between the Whine* of
Panama and Mexico, the Republic of Gnatimala offers, in every
part of its territory, the horrors of civil war.
" The Chief of that Republic has been assassinated, and, during
the months of Nov. and Dec. last, the different parties have done
nothing but commit the greatest excesses.
".The accounts from Colombia are likewise diiastrous.
