FOREIUN INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS PAPERS—THIS DAY.
PARIS, A tro. 23.—Generals Sebastiani and La-
maique had another meeting yesterday upon the
old score. After exchanging shots, without da-
mage, the seconds interfered and there the matter
ended.

Very serious troubles took place at Marseilles
on the 15th of August, on the occasion of the pro-
cession of the Virgin. We have often remarked
with what negligence the dispositions were executed
of the concordat, which will not permit the
exterior exercise of worship; troubles nearly every-
where have been the consequence. The public
way belongs to all. It is no more permitted to the
church to invade it, than to Jews and Protestants.
The young men having perceived in the procession
of Marseilles capuchins, penitents, ell that kind of
Italian and Spanish apparel which is still displayed
in the cities of the :south, they were indignant
at it. The procession was dispersed. The
priests invoked the fanaticism of the populace.
Disorders followed, and some sanguinary strife.
One of the soldiers of the 19th line, who was is
garrison at Hem, reports' the following detail;
about the ex-ministers " In learning the prompt
determination of the Government to send an army
into Belgium, M. Polignac, in spite of his pro-
found dissimulation, could not conceal his joy,
" Ah ! they have gone to Belgium ; we shall
have some news !" H. then made several terns
round the Chamber, tubbing his hands, and
repeating the same exclamations. I have
often had occasion to observe M. de Po-
lignac ; I find that he has still the same as-
surance. His words and his manners are always
comae it last. He is full of self-love, wishing
to pass for a courtier, a man of ton. An ordinary
was granted to the ex-ministers by the government,
but M. de Polignac found it too Bourgeois for him.
Thanks to his diligence, his table is abundantly
provided. It may be said that nothing is spared
for the comfort of the prisoners; they have books,
journals, good cheer ; and play at cards, at chess,
make parties of pleasure in the garden, &c. - Their
families are allowed to see them during six hours
of the day. M. de Polignac assumes sometimes
an air of mystery with the sentinels. One day,
when be was walking upon the terrace, I begged
of him not to advance upon the place prohibited by
order. He replied, at first, that such a man as he
was not to be humbled by a sentinel. But seeing
that I obstructed his passage, " At a later period I
shall cause the order to be changed." These words
were pronounced with a mysterious air.

It is affirmed that there is an idea of offering
to General Billiard the command in chief of our
army, and of giving the command of the cavalry
to General Dejern.
ANTWIRP, AVGLIST 22.—Lord William Rua.
eel, and Mr. Ch. Ward, attached to the English
legation, visited our city yesterday.
The French General Henricow arrived on the
20th at Baerle-le-Dewannistanc, whither the
Dutch had quitted the Belgian territory, which
they had in fact evacuated at 5 •. K.—Brussels
Papers, August 24.
GUENT, Au°. 23.—1 t is now certain that the
French have come to force the Dutch within the
limits laid down in the armistice. M. Verstolk,
de Socha has confessed this in the States General,
and our Government is not ignorant of it. The
Dutch, therefore, ought to return to the posts
which thy occupied on the 21st Nov. at midnight.
This being proved, they ought to evacuate all
Dutch Flanders, which was not occupied by them
at that time, and all the towns of which had
at that time sent in their adhesion to
the provisional Government. Dutch Flanders
had therefore joined in our revolution, and became
an integral part of Belgium. This truth cannot
be disputed by Holland. King William ought
therefore to begin by giving it up. The only
claim he has to keep it, is on the 18 Articles,
which he has rejected. It is therefore incon-
ceivable that be is allowed to keep pos-
session of a country, which he has
taken possession of contrary to the express
terms of the armistice, which has adhered to the
revolution, and therefore is Belgian both by right
and fact, which enables him to inundate the two
Flanders, and to abut the port of Ghent, and all
our issues towards the Scheldt.—FlandersJorrnel,
