FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

From the Messagsr des Chsaarcs qf Monday.

PARTS, Nov. 20.—A traveller, who has just arrived from Madrid,
relates that the Duke of Angouleme is expected in that city, and that
that Prince, with M. de Bourmont, is to put himself at the head of the
French emigrants, whose numbers daily increase. A levy of 150,000
men, too, in the Peninsula is said to be determined on—. much greater
force than has ever been called under arms at once. It is useless to add
any thing to these ridiculous statements t they refute themselves. It is
affirmed that General Morino, Count of Carthagena, and some others of
the principal chiefs of the Constitutionalists, who emigrated long ago,
having been pardoned by Ferdinand VII. will very shortly return to
their country.

LOWER PTIENEEII, (no date.)—The National Guard of Bayonne
has just formed a fine company of artillery. Reinforcements, arms, and
ammunition, will be sent to the parts of the country bordering on
Spain, to enable them to oppose, if it should be necessary, the assem-
blages of Spanish refugees, to erect the disarming of those who return
to France, to protect the territory against daily insult, and at length
to put an end to the stealing of their cattle.

BORDEAUX, Nov. )fficial accounts from the frontiers of Spain
inform us that numerous flocks which the French and Spanish shep-
herds have taken from each other have been restored without ransom
by each party, through the endeavours of the two members of the Coun.
cil of Arrondissement, and of the Commander of the National Guards
of the canton of St. Jean Pied-de-Port, appointed commissioners by
the sub-prefect M. de Manleon, who conferred for this purpose with the
most influential inhabitants of the frontiers of Spain. In this manner
peace is now restored between the shepherds of the two nations; but
notwithstanding the fortunate issue of this negociation, we may expect
to see these disputes renewed, till the two Governments have agreed
with each other about the exact demarkation of the frontiers.

EXCHANGE or Pants, Nov. 20.—Our funds were heavy at the
very opening of the Exchange, and nobody knew to what this new de-
cline was to be ascribed, when a report was spread towards three o'clock,
that hostilities had commenced between the Dutch and the Belgians,
and that the latter had made themselves masters of the city of Nime-
pith. It was added, that the German Confederation, after being in-
formed of the decree of the Government of Belgium, declaring the union
of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, had asserted Its rights in the most
energetic manner, and had ordered the Prussia► and Bavarian troops to
effeet the military occupation of the province of Luxemburg. Without
at all vouching for the authenticity of these two accounts, we mention
them as the cause of the panic which seized the speculators. To-day
the Three per Cents fell if. 30c. below the closing of yesterday; the
Five per Cents. 90c. the Ducats, if. 30c. and the Rente Perpetuelle,
4 per cent.

MADRID, Nov. 11.—Since we heard of Mina and Valdez's retreat
into France, nothing whatever has occurred, either here or in any other
part of Spain, that we have heard of, of a political nature. The posts
from Cadiz, Malaga, and Corunna, have arrived, and things still con-
tinue in those places in oohs quo. The more [ consider the character
of the Spanish people, and the details of the history of their last revo-
lution, the more I doubt the immediate success of the present Consti-
tutional attempt. It is with me a most unwilling conviction, but I
cannot help feeling something akin to despair, when I reflect on the
immense odds these brave men have to combat with. It Is natural on
this subject to refer, as a guide to the probable result of the present crisis,
to the means and circumstances which contributed to the revolution of
1820 ; likewise, to ascertain if they exist in any shape at this day ; and
whether they can again be brought into action to the same end. That re-
volution was exclusively, in its origin, a military one. A large body of
troops, destined to an unpopular service, were concentrated at Cadiz and
the Isle of Leon. Their officers seized that opportunity of discontent
among the soldiery to gain their adherence and support to an avowal of
constitutional opinions. Yet with the advantages of numbers and equip-
ment, the people were afraid to join them, and they were on the point
of annihilation, when a similar military movement in Galicia, which
the people likewise aided with nothing more than good wishes,
caused the Government to intrust its reduction to Abisbal, whO
took that occasion to proclaim the constitution at the head of his
army, in La Mancha. Still the nation did not rise. Madrid
'howed no sign of tumult. The King in the midst of a trembling
Court, signed the constitution, at the dictation of a few mili-
tary officers. In all • this the people did nothing more than
look on, and hope for the result. What are the circumstances at this
day ? The King has a large regular and irregular army, which for the
last seven years has been sedulously purified of all the officers suspected
of liberalism. The constitutional army is, in numbers, merely a cipher.
The government have taken precaution to oppose it with troops on
whose opinions and fidelity they can rely, and who have not the cause of
complaint the regulars have,vis. the Royalist volunteers and the Tercios,
the former a yeomanry,and the latter a militia, devoted by their interests
to the present state of things. This is the position of affairs in Navarre,
Guipnscoa, Biscay, and Arragon, where Mina and Valdes, I am afraid,
may continue a useless warfare to an Indefinite period. This truth
seems plain. These provinces are notoriously liberal, and the
names of the constitutional chiefs are there a tower of strength.
Yet I may ask with confidence, have they recruited to any extent ?
Na. In Catalonia, I have reason to believe, things have a bents
aspect. Matters are there more organized. Count d'Rapana can trust
to none but regulars. who are not to he trusted. He has scut here for
reinforcements, but has not succeeded in obtaining them. He has in
Barcelona two regiments of the Guards, with some battalions of Pro-
vincials. These are good troops, but their fidelity is questionable. Cats.
lonia is so liberal, that though the constitutional government raised with.
out difficulty upwards of 10,000 Nationales Voluntarios, the King has
not there two companies of Royalists. The spirit of the inhabitants,
and the nature of the country, point out Catalonia as the point (rapped
of the Constitutionalists in their present limited strength. 1 have said
in a former letter that 15,000 men would plait the constitution in Spain.
I repeat it. Such a body of troops would march from one end of the penin-
sula to the other, and recruit in all quarters. If Aline makes a stand in Ca-
talonia, with money he may buy almost all the troops sent against him.
Success would then be certain. But hitherto his endeavours have peas-
sarily proved abortive. The Spaniards will not rise unless they can doi
it with comparative safety. What could be, with a few hundred fol.
lowers, hold out to them but hard blows ? The :evolution of Spain is
rot to be contemplated by a handful of men and a manifesto. The
Constitutional Junta must combine their plans in all directions, and
then, with money, they will have no difficulty in procuring disaffection
strong an ill.paid soldiery. The result then admits not of the shadow
013 doubt.—Letter in the Tinter.

LANG Evisuio, Nov. 3.—Her Serene Highness the Princess Feodo-
mwna Augusta Charlotte Wilhelmine of Hohenlohe Langenburg (ban
Princess of Leiningen), was this morning safely delivered of a Princess,
hp is to be christened Eliza Adelaide Victoria Amelia Louisa Jane.—
Juurnal de Frankfort, Nov. 16.

Bacuswlcx, Nov. 14.—A letter front Frankfort, of the sth inst.
sacs—" In the sitting of theGerrnan Diet yesterday, a resolution was
taken in the affair of the F.states of the Duchy of Brunswick- —viz.
that the existing constitution of the Diet, as regulated in 1820,
cannot be altered by his Highness the Duke, except in a constitu-
tional manner."

HUNGARY, Nov. 9.—His Majesty the Emperor and King having
decided that he could not agree to the proposal of the Diet to fur.
nigh a part of the 50,000 recruits immediately, and the remainder
o;at spring, it has now been resolved, after violent debates, that the
thole number of recruits shall be raised immediately. This important
point being settled, it is supposed that the Diet will be cloud next
seek, and the Imperial Family return to Vienna. With respect to the
request of the Estates for the reincorporation of Dalmatia, Oslicia, and
the Bukowina, which formerly belonged to Hungary, nothing is yet
decided, hut it is thought that Dalmatia only will be again joined
with Hungary, and the two other provinces remain under the same
Administration as hitherto. Extensive levies of recruits are making in
di the provinces of the Emperor's dominions.
VI yrtiva Nov. 11.—His Majesty the Emperor has given to the
Duke of lteichstadt, Major In the infantry regiment of Salina, the rank
of Lieutenant. Colonel in the Nassau regiment of infantry, in garrison at
