FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

SPAIN.
(Private Correspondence of the Moruing Herald.)
FRONTIERS OF NAVARRE, Feb. 22.
I have this instant received by express, front the frontiers,
the following highly important and, at the sathe.tihie, deplo-
rable intelligence. Notwithstanding that my correspondent
entertains no doubt of the correctness of his information, in
my opinion-full ereditought not to be given to it until I shall
have received my communication from the royal head-quar-
ters. This will be sent to- yon to-morrow. I repeat, wait
the next post for a confirmation of news so unexpected, so
serious, and which, if true, will change the position of affairs
in the northern provinces :
" " Elisondo, Feb. 21, Nine o'clock, p. m.
I have hardly sufficient courage to make known to you
that General Marotto has caused to be shot at Estella those
brave and pure Carlists, General Francisco Garcia, Guergne,
Pablo San; and Carmona, the latter chief of the staff of
the army of Navarre ; also the Intendant General Uri; and
the secretary attached to the war department, Ibanez. It
was expected that on the neat day seven other officers of dis-
tinction would be shot.
"I do not give you this sad and dreadful news as official. -
I have received uo communication of it from the royal head-
quarters, but I believe it to be true, having learned it from
three different directions.

" All the functionaries along the frontier are in the greatest
consternation ; God only knows whose turn may come next.
" General Marotto, with 8000 infantry and 900 cavalry, is
operating in the Ribera of Navarre ;, it is said that he intends
to attack Lodosa, and, if successful,' open "a communication
with Arragon.'
I have seen a letter from Madrid, dated the lith, written
by an authority of great weight. It gives as certain that
Espartero intended taking the command of the army of the
centre, and to open an active campaign against Cabrera, with
the whole of his force—that General .Alaix would take the
command of the army of the north, which would be reduced
to a simple corps of observation, and take up positions along
the banks of the Ebro, and that General Van Haien would
replace Alaix as Minister of War.
The remains of the Munagorri patriots returned to France
yesterday, and marched to their former peaceable quarters at
Sarre, where they are permitted by the French government
to remain for 15 they
and no more, a sufficient time to receive
instructions from Espartero whether they should be embarked
at Saint Sebastian for Bilboa, incorporated with the garrison
of Valcarlos, or sent to the right about. The arms of the
whole force—those not already sold—have been taken pos-
session of by the Christinos and sent to Iron. Munagorri
continues secreted in Behobia,

• PERSIA.
Mr. M'Neil finally left Persia on the 3d of January, hav-
ing previously given orders to Colonel Shee and the other
British officers in the Persian army to proceed to Bagdad,
there to wait further orders. Mr. M`Neil, Sir H. Bethume,
and Major Farrant, proposed travelling to England by way
of Georgia. It does not appear that the prospect of a rupture
with England has at all disconcerted the Persian court. The
Shah regards us as too distant to give him any uneasiness,
and unless by favouring the claims of another prince to the
Musnud, our government is not likely otherwise to trouble
itself with his administration. This, holVeVer, would be a
very easy matter, as Zilleh Sultan and the three Persian
princes• who recently visited England are now at Bagdad,
watching the first favourable moment to raise the standard of
rebellion. Trade was very brisk, and the pUrehase•S'of Eng-
lish goods by-Persian merchants very extensive. '
SWEDEN.
We have received accounts from Sweden of the 10th ultimo,
from which we learn that great interest had been excited
among the people on the previous day by the king proceeding
in person' (being 'the first tithe for eleven years) to meet the
members of the Storthing at Christiania, when his- majesty
opened the session in a speech which was well received.

nised by the commanders of the different foreign naval forces
on that station. On the arrival of Santa Crust itcLima, he,
lost no time in making overtures of peace to the. Chilians, for
which he solicited the mediation of the British Gliarge d'Af-
faires. In consequence, he embarked on board the President
ship of war, and sailed for Huacho, where the head-quarters
of the Chilians were. He then proposed to the Chilian ple-
nipotentiary, that Santa Cruz should retire'with hit army be-
yond the Desaguadero, and leave North and South:Peru free
to choose their own governments, and to deterinine whether
the Peru Bolivian confederation should be dissolved or not.
These proposals were entirely rejected by the ailian envoy,
who required the immediate dissolution of the confederation
and the reduction of the Bolivian army to a kir standard,
with the abolition of all differential duties on trade, and other
conditions which were inadmissible ; Chili, in the meantime,
to be allowed to keep up her navy, as being naturally entitled
to be the first maritime state in the Pacific.
