FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

AUSTRIA.
The Nuremberg Correspondent of the 15th inst. contains the
following alarming paragraph :
" VIENNA, Sept. 11.—Very important news has arrived
here from the East- It appears that region is likely, before
all others, to become the theatre of the contest of European
interests in a short time, and this struggle may be serious
(sangiante.) War between England and Persia is declared;
the causes of this recent event are well known."
Accounts front Prague of the 12th instant stale, that the
march of troops to the proposed camp of 24,000 men, to be
formed at Branders, was incessant. The manoeuvres were to
be directed by Field Marshals the Prince de Reuss and Count
Ceclopiere. The object of the assembling of this army ap-
pears to have defied all attempts to ascertain it.

SWITZERLAND.
The Zurich Gazette states that the Swiss patriots on the
French frontier have established a regular system of corres-
pondence among themselves, in order that any attack on the
part of France may not take them unawares.

(Private Correspondence of the Morning Herald.)
BAYONNE, Sept. 17.—1 shall to day confine myself to send-
ing you the following communication :
" Royal Head-quarters, Ellorio, Sept. 15.
" Yesterday morning, at eight o'clock, his Majesty quitted
Bergara, dined at Montdragon, and reached here the same
evening, where his Majesty intends to remain during the
present highly-interesting military operations.
" General Marotto had a long conference with his Majesty
and the Minister of War this morning, and then returned to
Durango.
" Eight battalions, composed of two of Guipuscoa, two of
Alava, two of Biscay, and two of Castile, reached Durango
yesterday, by forced marches from Estella. Each battalion
is 800 strong. Marotto has wilh him, independent of these
6300 men, the troops blockading Bilboa, about 2500 men,
Castor Andechaga, with his outpost of nearly 3000 men, and
Balmaseda and Romales, and General Sopelana, with 3000
men, are advanced on the high road from Vittoria to Bilboa.
" Several pieces of artillery have been ordered to be trans-
ported with all possible despatch from Onate to Durango.
" The following. is the postscript of au intercepted letter
written by a national guard of Bilboa

" Bilboa, Sept. 13.
" I have just learned, but not officially, that the Christinos
have evacuated Fort Las Banderas, and other forts exterior
of Bilboa.' "
It appears that General Pardinas is about to retire from
the Queen's service. Narvaez has been in nomination for
the captaincy-general of Old Castile, vice Baron Carondelet,
who recently abandoned Valladolid, on hearing that the Car-
lists were in its neighbourhood.
The Correo has a letter from Villacastria, of the 10th, stat-
ing_Merino to have entered Burgo de Osma on the 7th, with
WOO infantry and 300 cavalry, and to have since moved to-
wards Valladolid.

SWEDEN.
The German papers continue to afford some further dis-
tressing reports of the agitated state of the capital of Sweden.
There would appear to be still a great excitement and a de-
termined hostility manifested by the lower orders of the peo-
ple of Stockholm. The very aged King, almost weighed
down by the weight of years, and distressed by the unhappy
relations with his son, the Crown Prince, has, in addition to
these misfortunes, to struggle with an alienation of the affec-
tion of the people.

RUSSIA.
The Emperor of Russia appears to meet with many diffi-
culties in finding fitting husbands for his daughters. The.
Crown Prince of Bavaria, who is a fitful and capricious lover,
and has been playing at hide-and-seek with the imperial
princess, appears now to have been prevailed upon to meet
her and her Russian party in Prussia. The Empress and her
daughters are going to Berlin, whilst he is expected at Pots-
dam, within 16 miles of it. Negotiations will, of course, be
resumed at Berlin. It is reported that the Czar had made
up his mind to bestow the second daughter upon the prince
of Leuchtenberg, a respectable but obscure prince.
