FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
NOT XXCLUSIVE.

From the Gasette de France of yesterday.

VIIENXA, Nov. 20.—Prir.ce Mettemich and all the principal diplo-
matists have left Prcsburg for some time back. The expected marriage
of Prince Metternich with the Countess Zichi. third daughter of General
Count Ziclii, it is said, will in a short time take place.
Several French travellers of distinction have arrived here, amongst
whom is Marshal Nlarmont. It is supposed that he intends proceeding
to Russia.

The recognition of Don Miguel on the put of the great Powers will
shortly take place. It is said that an Ambassador will be immediately
sent to Lisbon.

The widow of Francis I. the late King of Naples, has quitted that
capital, and has retired with her family to Portici. On the 10th,
Ferdinand 11. was residing at the capital of his kingdom.
In the next Sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, Marshal Soult will
present a general report relative to tile situation f the fortresses, the
state of the arsenals, the number of men in actual service, those who
shall be under arms on the Ist January, Ist February, and the let of
March ; at the last period the army is to consist of 400,000 men, and
the moveable National (luard of 500,000 men.
Marshal Soule will present, at the same time, the law upon the plan
of recruitment.

There has been a report upon 'Change, that our Cabinet had con.
eluded a treaty, offensive and defensive, with England, upon condition
that France should maintain &strict neutrality in theaffairs of Belgium.
We give no credit to such a report ; the French Government could not
enter into an alliance on such grounds, without contradicting its prin.
ciples..—The that intelligence of the foreign armaments has produced an
electric effect upon the departments on the frontiers. The inhabitants
of the east are in motion ; the people in every direction are preparing for
a vigorous resistance.

A purchase of 20,000 cavalry horses has bean made for the govern.
meat within the last six weeks, in different parts of Germany, particu-
larly at Holstein and Mecklenburg.

PARIS, Nov. 30.—The expected communication from Government,
and the demands of the 'Ministers for money and men, were not made to
the Chamber of Deputies yesterday evening. Neither Chamber will sit
to-day ;no opportunity for giving the so-much-desired explanation will
therefore occur until to-morrow, when rumour and general belief have it
that the promised statements and the menaced requisition will be given
and made. —War is believed to be inevitable, and what is more, ma. 'I
neeuvres of the ca 'Wags are said to be in progress to distract the country,
and to co-operate with the foreigner.—l mentioned in my letter of,
yesterday the seizure of some arms and military equipments destined,
, for Argers (Touraine), by an ex-Aid-de.Camp of Bournsont, and
the arrest of the individual himself. A very considerable sen-
I sation .was felt List night in some quarter (Faubourg St. Ger
main), respecting some movements in the southern side of the
metropolis; but the only circumstance connected with them of import.
ance, are the visible anxiety with which popular assemblages are viewed
by the government, and the susceptibility of alarm under which the
public in general labour. Doting last night neatly the entire of the
city and its environs were ;nee...sandy patroleil by the Garde Nationale.
I have inquired, and can find no other ground for the imposition of that
painful and fatiguing duty on the National Guards than the two fol-
lowing incidents—
Early in the day a placard was posted up in the Faubourg St. Ger-
main, addressed to the unemployed " ouvriers," informing them that
if they repaired to the Champ de Mars they would find employment.
Several hundred men did accordingly proceed to the place indicated,
but were furnished with no better occupation, than listening to
some spouting of a man who very vehemently exhorted
them to upset the present Government. The poor men were
not led into acts of turbulence by this agent of sedition, but they con-
tinued on the ground, in considerable numbers, until the arrival of a
large detachment of the 10th Legion of National Guards, who dispersed
them, having first made the orator prisoner. lie proved to be one of
that odious class, the ex-gendarmerie of Paris. The second affair which
attracted the attention of the Authorities, and gave the Garde Nationale
much trouble during the evening and night, was a grand reunion
(pray do not smile) of the cast ciothesmen of Pads. They assem-
bled to banquet at a restaurateur's at the Barriere du Maine, near
that of Mont Parnaase. Their numbers (nearly four hundred) at-
tracted the attention of the Authorities, and they were accordingly
questioned as to the motives for their meeting, &c. They replied,
that " the three days" had been a splendid harvest season for them ; '
that, individually, they had realised considerable sums by the purchase
of the splendidly-laced uniforms of the ex-Garde Royale (upon its
ip sup region,) and that they had resolved to hold a revel in consequence,
rectly unconnected with political ob,jects. There was no reason to
oubt the correctness of this reply. The " Marchands" were left ac-
cordingly to enjoy the pleasures of the table, but under strict and un-
ceasing surveillance of the National Guard of the quarter. The last of
the party had not yet retired, at four o'clock this morning when my in-
formant (an officer in the 11th Legion) had made his 4th patrole to ob-
serve those strange heterogeneous eonvives. Strong patrols of cavalry
traversed the streets and boulevards throughout the night.
The report of the Peers' Commission respecting the ex-Ministers, is
deemed to be decisive of the fate of Polignae, and, perhaps, of Peyton-
net. The evidence of the Marquis de Semonville, grand referendary of
the Chamber of Peers, is peculiarly unfavourable to Polignae. You
will recollect that he and M. Argant, the present Minister of Marine,
were sent by Charles X. during the revolution, to confer with the De-
puties who wished to stop the effusion of blood. Marmont seconded
the efforts of those who wished to terminate the carnage; but, as M.
de Semonville's testimony proves, Polignac was inexorable. Whatever
may be the issue of the trial, I repeat my former apprehensions of
deplorable scenes here. The neighbourhood of the Luxembourg is con-
sidered so unsafe, that the removal of furniture and property from the
houses in its vicinity continues without intermission. Until to-day I
thought it probable that the trial would be postponed until after Le
Jour de l'An, from consideration for the shopkeepers of Paris : but I
have now every reason to believe, in concurrence with the general ru-
mour, that it will commence on Thursday, the 9th, or Friday, the 10th
of December.

Bowies, Half past Four.—The Funds underwent a trifling im-
provement today, notwithstanding the character of the news in elr.l
culation, and Immense sales (1,200,000 Francs des Reines) by the va.l
rious agents.
It is not true that the ex.ministers have been removed to the Luzern.
bourg, as reported here early In the day.
Nothing in the lifessager of Dec. 1. The Revolution was to have
appeared on Wednesday, Dee. 1.
