FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.
PARIS, THU RS DA T .—When, after remonstrances and
threats by the Great Powers, the Cabinet of the Palais
Royal decided to abandon Belgium, of which France, some
months before, bad embraced and supported the cause with
so much warmth, one could easily remark a change in the
language of the ministerial journals. This was at first like
a coldness, a kind of indifference thrown upon all that which
attached to that question ; then the Belgians wore turbulent,
impatient, violent ; then incendiaries, anarchists, murderers,
a people in fact to which one could not, without derogating,
bear the least interest. The gradation was skilfully ma-
naged ; it was to the profit of England, who will preserve,
without doubt, an eternal gratitude to the French go-
vernment.

The same tactics are renewed now in regard to Poland,
for which, a few months since, there was in France but
one wish, but one single sentiment, so much the courage
and the generous attitude of the Poles had electrified all
hearts. A Journal, the obliging organ of power, comes
the first to give the signal, by excusing the odious con-
duct of Austria in the affair of General Dwornicki, and by
colouring with vain pretexts, drawn from the rights of men,
the disarming of the Polish troops and the delivering their
arms to Russia. This Journal even avows that it has not
yet had knowledge of the report of Dwernicki ; but, in its
desire to 'advocate the conduct of Austria, it appears to
contest the veracity of that report, and it immediately has-
tens to cite an article from the London Times, which has
the effrontery to support that unique and revolting doctrine
of the right which the Court of Vienna had of violating the
neutrality.
Our intention is not here to combat the sophisms which
French loyalty and the law of nations equally disapprove;
we are bound to state a fact, to expose the march which the
Ministers propose to follow in regard to Poland, and of
which France receives already so many advantages in Italy
and Belgium. The Times, and the French ministerial Jour-
nals have received the word of command and they obey it.
The conduct of Austria being approved to-day, the Poles
will be blamed to-morrow; then the day of outrages will
arrive; and we pledge ourselves that our fabricators of cd-
cial calumnies will not show themselves more miserly to-
wards the Poles than they have in that respect been towards
the Belgians.
We are so far from Warsaw, that ministerial imagination
will have plenty of room to develops itself. And, when it
shall have been proved that the Vistula, as well as the
Scheldt and the Meuse, only wash countries delivered
to anarchy, pillage, in one word to all revolutiontary de-
vastations--when it shall have weakened in French hearts
the sympathy .and admiration which the noble conduct of
the Polish people had given birth to, our Ministers will en-
joy their work, by proclaiming, and without blushing, that
the repose of Europe requires that Poland should be delivered
to the unpitying vengeance of Russia; too happy still if
they should not call it out for these poor Russians, who have
had to suffer so much from cholera, famine, and combats, to
subdue a handful of miserable revolted wretches.—Le
National.

France has just received two new insults from Spain.
The Government has learnt at the same time that a party of
Royalist troops has violated the French territory, by pene-
trating into a village of our frontier, where they hoped to
seise some Constitutionalists, and that the populace of Ali-
cant, had torn down a tri-coloured flag from the house of
the Consul, dragged it in the streets, covering it with mud
and filth. It appears that no authority interfered with this
novel kind of procession.--Le National.
It is remarked with justness, that the report of M. C.
Perier, upon the troubles of the west, is furnished with mild-
ness and indulgence; but his manifesto upon the commo-
tions in Paris is filled with threats and thundering declare-
rations. This is easily explained, in the west they kill
soldiers, gendarmes, they knock down the tri-coloured flags,
they cry " Vive Charles X ! mere peccadillos; but at Paris
they assemble upon a spot and cry " A bat les Ministers,
a much more grave business I It appears from the report,
that M. de Montalivet has delegated to Gen. Bonnet autho-
rity to treat with the clergy, and La Vendee, this will in-
crease the powers of the General. It is even said, that the
Ministers of religion will aid him by their pacific exhorts-
tions.—Courrier Francais.

We learn from Tunis, that in pursuance of an arrange-
ment made with General Clausel, the Dey has collected an
army of 30,000 men, which, under the command of two
French officers, is about to attempt the conquest of the pro-
vince of Constantine, of which Sidi Mustapha, the Dey's
brother, is to be Governor for France. It was reported that
the rebellious Bey of Constantine, whose troops are remark-
able for their bravery, but much more so for their ferocity,
is waiting the arrival of the Tunisian army, with a force of
40,000 men. Every thing will depend on the first onset,
and the steadiness of the regular troops of Tunis. Constan-
tine being eighty leagues distant from Tunis, some time
must elapse before the result can be known.
Le Temps, in calling the attention of the country to the
circular of the Polish government, argues strongly that the
intrinsic justice of the Polish cause, though it may not be a
reason for the Cabinet of immediately declaring war against
Russia by an abrupt recognition of Poland, ought at least to
induce it to enter into such negotiations with Austria and
Prussia, as would convince those countries that it is the
common interest of all to persuade. Russia to enter into such
an equitable arrangement, as may secure the independence of
Poland without sacrificing the honour of the Crar.
Le Cmutitutionnel reviews the state of France since the
revolution, and, contrasting the agitation and uneasiness
that now prevails with the order and content which charac-
terised the short period intervening between the destruction
of the old dynasty and the formation of the new one, at-
tributes all the evils which we have to lament to the influence
of the DoctrMaires, whom it represents as intriguing under
every government for the ascendancy of a little civic aris-
tocracy, of which they constitute themselves the chiefs,
but, with that exception, as partaking all the idea, of the
Royalists relative to legitimacy, right divine, &c. and add
that they, therefore, while pretending to adopt the revolu-
tion, preserved as much as possible of the wrecks of the re-
storation. Such, it says, are the men who have succeeded
in seising the reins of government, and it is for the electors
to save the country by rejecting them wherever they present
themselves as candidates.

The French ministry continue to celebrate in its journals
its late street victory : it believes itself invincible ; it flatters
itself with a triumph over the opposition in the electoral col-
leges, as easy as over the sedition in the streets.
Three parties are now in presence of the government : the
legitimates, the republicans, and the Buonapartists. The
first, deprived of all weight which was its own, skilled only
to serve itself by the courage and success of others, ranges
itself always behind enemies of the government, whateier
may be their flag. The two others are more redoubtable ;
they represent serious interests : but weak, because the go-
refitment has not had time to fail.
The republican party stipulating for political liberty and
equality, draws into its ranks men to whom the institutions
refuse the power, to which their natural powers and social
rights authorise them to pretend. But all unjuit exclusion
will sooner or later attach to this party the classes or masses
who are wounded. The approaching elections will put the

struggle between the friends of peace and the parti, an, of
foreign interference to a decisive proof; in fact, the elec-
toral assemblies of France will decide for peace or war, It
is only from the bosom of France that the effective support
of liberty abroad can be given. National independen-,
and the honour of France are the devices of tl,,
Bonapartists, and this large party addresses
especially to the inferior classes, and recals to thorn
the remembrance of glory and humiliation ; thg.
courses to the people, and imbues them with idulatro:.,
worship for one great man. The Belgians, the
above all the Poles, are to them brothers, whom tlio „.,;

Tem Knee's Toun.—The King left Rouen 'on Thursday morning
at nine o'clock, on horseback, attended by his sons, through a doubt:

rain came on with such violence, that at about two miles on the roz,!
he was obliged to enter his carriage, from which he descended E I).
(Ale, to visit the manufactory of the Mayor of the place. His Majesty
passed through Pavilly, Yvetot, and Caudebec, without bring Olt
to stop, on account of the weather; but, at Villebonne, ha
went to view the church, which is a very ancient and eh.
gent monument of architecture, and where the clergy, as at
all the other places through which the King had passed, cane
to offer their dutiful respects. At four o'clock, his Blajesty
reached Bolbec, and the weather having become fair, mounted his hone
and received the national guards. He afterwards received the different
authorities at the Hotel de Ville, and visited the various manufacorits
of the town, surrounded by the working classes, who are here extremely
numerous, and whose loyal acclamations evidently affected his illajoty.
After traversing Harfleur, the King reached Ingouville, a suburb of
Havre, where he again mounted his horse and proceeded to the tosn.
He was received by the Mayor and Municipal Officers, and conducted
to the Hotel de Ville. After receiving all the authorities of the
place, his Majesty, accompanied by the Princes, went to the Tkt.
etre, where he was greeted with the wannest welcome, anti
the acclamations were redoubled, when Nourrit sung the couplets of
Naudet to music by Boieldieu. On retiring, he stopped to admire
the beautiful effect of the Port, which was entirely covered with ills,
minations. Two transparencies were exhibited ever the door of the
Hotel in which his Majesty lodged, representing Peace and the
Charter, which were in fact the order of the (lay, for nothing could be
more complete than the order and harmony that prevailed. On Fri.
day, at seven o'clock, a salvo of artillery announced the arrival of
the steam.boat with the National Guards of Harfleur on board which
on passing the King's windows, saluted him with a whole broad.
side. The National Guards of Caen had arrived the evening beton.
At half:past ten his Majesty rode to the works at the outer port
accompanied by two Royal Dukes, the Minister of War and Coen.
mere*, the Prefect, the Mayor and his Deputies, the Engineers and a
large suite, and laid the first stone of the new Basin. From thence, the
King proceeded to the Quai d'lngouville and reviewed the National
Guards, who extended along its whole length. On passing along the
line, he was saluted by general acclamations from the Guards, the in-
habitants from the windows, and the populace. After the review, his
Majesty rode through the suburbs, and went to the country seat of
Delaroche, the Mayor of /lane, which stands upon a height
commanding the sea, the whole coast, the mouth of the Seine,
and a most beautiful view of the port and surrounding coun.
try. On his return into the town, the King went on board
the Camoens, a new French vessel about to sail for Brasil, and the
American packet La France, the crew of which displayed as much
satisfaction at this honour, as if they had been Frenchmen. His Majesty
then embarked in his own yacht, and stood out to sea with the tide, and
being favoured by very fine weather, had a pleasant excursion. At
five in the afternoon, the King received the Ladies and also the Foreign
Consuls, the American Consul being at their head, as the senior
resident. At half-past nine o'clock, after the dinner, at which all
the principal authorities and personages of distinction in the town
and neighbourhood were present, his Majesty went to the ball
and entertainment prepared for him in a building erected on purpose
within the last six days, and which was sufficiently spacious to contain
6,000 persons. Here the affability and kindness of the King were most
conspicuous, and were answered by a general expression of gratitude
and joy. During his stay at Havre, all the shops were spontaneously
closed as on a holiday, and all the houses illuminated in the evenings;
the Church and the Marine Arsenal were distinguished by their illu-
minations, but the most brilliant effect was produced by a column
erected in the middle of the canal, entirely covered with lamps of
various colours.

were in our port, ready to sail for Constantinople, and thence to

This general measure might lead us to infer, that a new resolution
has been taken, in which these two islands acted together.

Vizir a, AI or 16.—The Austria* Observer now announces offi-
cially, that the Emperor has sent Prince Lewis Jablonowski to Turin,
to sompliment the new King on his accession. This paper has the fol-
lowing remarks Were not the subject too intimately connected with
the most important interests of civil society, we might be almost amused
by the proceedings of certain journals, with respect to the question of
peace and war. Those Paris journals, which passionately preach up
war—that is to say, anarchy—have taken up the death of Charles Feltz,
King of Sardinia, as a peculiarly. welcome means of exciting the public
mind. Among the manufacturers of the news, by which it has been
endeavoured to deceive the public, 'the National is partially',
distinguished. The Noniteur has declared its absurd articles to be
what they are ; but the war-loving journal does not give up the con-
test. It continues to amuse its readers, with the most ridiculous fables
of a conspiracy, against the new King ; at the head of wbich it places
the most distinguished persons, under the direction of the Amnon
Cabinet, of the entrance of Austrian troops into Piedmont, and the
occupation of the most important fortresses, of disorders, attended
with bloodshed, in Turin, &v. German Journals do not fail to
repeat these fables. But it may be asked, for whom are they ple•
pagated, and for what purpose ? Certainly not to deceive thePiedmooteet,
to whom the quiet accession of their new king, and all that paean oda
their own eyes, give Irrefragable proofs of the contrary. No, only
small number of credulous Parisians, who have no standard for fang°
affairs, but their blind confidence, or the most ignorant and the 04111

Whether trade and manufactures Sourish or are ruined ? Impelled by
lust of money or of power, or by unbridled fanaticism, they disdain no
