FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the lliessager des Chambres of Tuesday, April 14.)
ANCONA, MARCH 21.—Letters from Naples speak
with much confidence of a new Protocol, said to
have been signed at London by the Ministers Pleni-
potentiary of the three Mediating Powers, and ex-
tending the limits of Greece to the Gulfs of Arta
and Volo. The presence of Count Matuczewitsc
at London has powerfully contributed to the draw-
ing up of this Protocol, which could not fail to be
assented to by the other Courts.
A report has been quickly spread at Naples, that
the Ambassadors of France and England were going
to proceed immediately to Constantinople, to de-
clare to the Porte this extension of the frontiers,
and to make it consent to it. On the other hand,
it was said at Naples, that Mr. Stratford Canning
would go alone to Constantinople, and would re-
main there whether the Sultan acceded or not to
the new resolutions of the Allied Powers.
If these reports should be confirmed, it can only
be inferred that France and Russia act perfectly in
concert with respect to Greece, while England par-
ticipates in their determinations only on certain con-
ditions, and desires to avoid every kind of hostile
dispute with the Porte. These various reports have
produced a considerable sensation at Naples, and have
affected the price of the funds. There is a sensible
improvement in the sanitary state of the capital.
The Government had opened a hospital on its own
account, in which the greatest attention is paid to
the patients.
NUREMBERG.—The Correspondent of Nuremberc,
has the following article from the banks of the
Danube, 2d April :
" It is by no means supposed that the Russian
army will, in the next campaign, act hostilely against
Servia or Bosnia, except, perhaps, by besieging the
fortresses which cover the frontiers of these pro-
vinces. The motives of this determination have
been clearly developed, and are daily justified by
facts which are sufficiently manifest to render it un-
necessary to explore the papers of the Russian Cabinet
and of the Staff of the Army, to make ourselves
acquainted with them.
" The Black Sea will remain the capital point of

operations ; and, according to all ..ppearance, the
• Russian army will begin, as it did last year, by
passing the Danube to Issaktcha. But it is still
very uncertain whether this can be done by the end
of April, as the winter has much damaged the
foundations of the tetes-de-pont, and the dams
erected last year, and the marshy banks of the
Danube, present invincible obstacles during the first
weeks of the spring.
" There are now hardly any horned cattle in the
Principalities, and it takes a long time to bring them
from the south-east provinces of Russia, Podolia, the
Ukraine, &c., because they are so remote from the
Danube. Hence it is difficult to give credit to the
accounts of immense quantities of oxen, with which
some Journals enrich their columns in the absence of
authentic news, and which required an army of
drivers, whom a fertile imagination has very well
organised into armed divisions, &c.; but the most
essential requisite was wanting, viz, beasts of bur-
den, and draught cattle, which it would have been
difficult to procure."
(From the Constitutionnel of Tuesday.)
PARtc, APRIL 14.— DONNA MARIA, LEGITIMATE
QUEEN OF PORTUGAL.—What will the Absolutists
say now ? The French Government has just ren-
dered public homage to the right of Donna Maria
to the Crown of Portugal. It declares that it will
recognise in Don Miguel only the Lieutenant-Ge-
neral of the kingdom, and that declaration is sup-
potted by the Emperor of Brazil, whose abdication
was only in favour of his daughter. The follow-
ing is what we find in the " Almanaek Royal,"
which has just appeared, under the head of " Fo-
reign Powers."
" Portugal—Maria 11. born 4th of April, 1819,
daughter of Peter, Emperor of Brazil, Queen of
Portugal and the Algarves, by the abdication of the
father en the 2d May, 1826, betrothed at Vienna on
the 29:11 October, 1826, at
" Don Miguel, born the 16th October, 1802, her
uncle, infant of Portugal, Lieutenant and Regent
of the kingdoms of Portugal arid the Algarves, by
the decree of the Emperor of Brazil, on the 3d of
July, 1827."
After this declaration in favour of the right, and
against the usurpation of the tyrant who oppresses
Portugal, the Ministry undoubtedly will not wish
us to suspect its candour ; it will give an explana-
tion concerning the rumour now afloat of a secret
agent having been sent to the Court of Don Miguel.
It is not sufficient to be separated from the English
policy in the'" Almanack Royal," but we must be
separated from it in oar acts, whether secret or pub-
blie. That is not difficult in .the present situation
of Portuguese affairs. Who could conceive the
idea of a connection with the odious usurper, whose
life is one continued scene of crimes, and whose vio-
lence does not even spare his own family ?
