FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Journal des Delia's.)
"LISBON, MARCH 7.—An express sent by General
Stubbs arrived this morning at the War-office, announ-
cing the complete defeat of the Marquis de Chaves, with
all his divisions, and their precipitate flight to Spain. It
appears that the English brigade, which had hitherto been
kept in inaction at Coimbra, and at a certain distance
from the theatre of the war, began to move on the sth ;
one post of that brigade marched to Viseu, and the other
to Leiria. It consists of 2,500 men.
" The members of the Regency, formed in the Algarves
on the revolt of that province, were brought here prisoners
on the 4th. They consist of military persons, ecclesiastics,
and private citizens, in all 28 in number. They are to be
tried immediately; but in conformity with the spirit of
conciliation which prevails in all the acts of Government,
they will probably get off with a few months' imprison •
meat. Yesterday the Chamber of Peers proceeded farther
• with the trial of the Deputy Mascarenhas, who is also im-
plicated in the Algarve revolt. It is probable that he will
be acquitted, for every thing is done by the Chamber to mi-
tigate the charges. This system of tolerance appears to
produce very- good effects on the public mind.
" Within this week past, great - !-.!vity has been dis-
played in recruiting the army, whicl. is still effected in the
same way as before the constitution ; that is to say, by
impressing. This mode of recruiting, by which about 30
men are daily obtained is the capital, has within the last
month, sent 1,200 men to the depots of the different
regiments.

" A merchant ship from Brasil has brought the news of
the death of the Empress. This intelligence did not fail to
produce a certain sensation, because it is feared that her
death may have an unfavourable influence on the future
destiny of Portugal, for the interests of which, it is said,
this Princess always manifested a lively interest. The
Government has received no official communication of this
event.

On the last meeting of the Chamber of Peers, the com-
mittee to which wa referred Count de Taipa's motion,
tending to induce the Government to grant an anmesty,has
reported against the Count's proposition. On the same
day the Chamber also rejected a proposition of Count de
Cunha, which had for its object to call upon the Govern-
ment to declare the reasons why the Marquis of Chaves,
whose crimes are so numerous and notorious, is not brought
to trial.

" A report from General Correa de Mello, dated Mi-
randella, Feb. 26, states as follows The rebel eaValry
was disarmed in Spain on taking refuge there. The sabres
were taken from the men, but their horses were left them,
so that they could readily arm themselves again on their
return to Chaves. This force of rebel cavalry, and the re-
inforcement from Tellee Jordan, renders my division insuf-
ficient for operating on two columns at so great a dis-
tance. It will even be difficult for me to correspond, with
the Government, surrounded, u I am, by it population in
a state of insurrection.'

" MADRID, MARCIE 13.—" We are assured that General
Sarsfield has visited the Prado incognito, and had a long
conference with the king. He explained to His Majesty
the state of the army, and the serious risk there would he
in resting the fate of the nation solely on officers and soldiers,
the greatest part of whom were ready to be seduced by the
first intriguer who might address them. Yesterday an ex-
press was sent to Seville with despatches, ordering General
Quesada to suspend the preparations he was making for
sending 26 pieces of cannon to Badajoz.

" One rather remarkable fact, which tends to throw
light on the intentions of our Government is, that all the
Portuguese Generals have been sent to Valladolid, and that
there is now no idea of making them leave Spain, as was
expected would be the case when we learned the punctuality
with which the rebels had been disarmed and sent to the
interior of Old Castile. The Marquis de Chaves has ar-
rived in Castile, but alone, and exercising no command.

" PARIS, Masicrt 23.—A German journal affirms that
the mission of General Deibitsch to Georgia, is not only
for the purpose of conciliating some differences which have
arisen between the Russian Generals, but also to ascertain
whether the causes of the rupture between Persia and
Russia have originated with the agent of the latter power,
on the answer to which question depends the solution of the
important one of the casus fisderis between England and
Persia. General Deibitech, it is added, is authorised, ac-
cording to circumstances, to open negotiations with Persia,
with a view to effect a peace.

PA.p4s, ALAaucm 22.—Letters from Constantinople an-
nounce that the Porte has confirmed the Viceroy of Egypt;
that the great Maritime Powers would be dipleased at see-
ing Candia transferred the Egyptian, and that conse-
quently it could not perform the promise which it made
him two years ago, to cede that island to him, as a reward
for his co-operation in the war in the Mores.
The friends of the Greeks think that this event will
hasten the return of Ibrahim to Egypt, and perhaps the
declaration of his independence by Mahomet Ali ; others
consider the answer of the Porte as equivalent to a dis-
grace, and that Capidge Caschi have already been sent to
cut off the head of the wealthy Pacha.
