FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.
It seems strange that doubts exist in Paris as to the arrival
or non-arrival of Count Sebastiani. The Journal des Debuts
of Monday positively asserts that he had not arrived up to the
preceding mid-night. The Constituawind, ou the other hand,
is as positive, not only that he has arrived, but that he had
already accepted the presidency of the council, together with
the ministry of foreign affairs, if his health permitted. The
Message,r is of opinion that he will retain his embassy in Lon-
don ; that he comes to Paris as the auxiliary of Marshal Soult ;
that as president of the council, with or without a portfolio, the
budget will be granted to him; and that when the budget is oh
tained, he will return to London. 'hie would have thought
that a least something knight have been known of his movements;
but when we find that the French papers, and, if we iiiay credit
report, the French minisyrs, were ignorant of his being sent
for, until they found it in the Standard, we suspect that those
who are managing the change of the French ministry have
more than ordinary reasons fur keeping their designs secret.
The war seems to be at a stand still in the north of Spain.
Mina is gathering money and arms, and Zurnalacarreguy is
augmenting arid organising Isis tioups. The curate Merino,who was killed long ago in the Madrid papers, it appears is
still in the field. • We are told that he was defeated in alt en-
gagement.bir .Colonel Aspiroz, and escape 4 with only thirty or
tarty horse. ,

The last news from America has had the effect of putting the
French government on the alert, and they are preparing for the
threatened letters of marque and reprisal. Letters front
Toulon of the 24th ult, state that instructions had been given to
the captain of the Bellone frigate, which had recently sailed
from Toulon for Poit Mahon, to watch the movements of the
American squadron which was expected in .that port. Orders
had also been given to keep in readiness several armed vessels,
until an arrangement should be come to on the question now at
issue between France and the United Srates.

1 BELGIUM.
•
The Chambers at Brussels are discussing the laws relative to
_public instruction. The University of Louvain has presented a
memorial praying for its preservation. It has lately shown
some protestant tendencies, and was, therefore, doomed to de-
struction.

GERMANY.
The German papers announce the return of Ibrahim Pacha
from Syria to Egypt, for what purpose is not mentioned. The
Porte and Mahoined Ali appear to be ou good terms, and the
Tatter remits the tribute regularly to Constantinople. Letters
from Bitoglia inform us of the death of Hussein Pacha, who
they say was not much regretted on account of his severity.
From Constantinople itself we learn, that a finnan regulating
the dress of the people during the Ramazan, prohibiting um-
brellas and banishing the jugglers and tale-tellers from all
places of public resort, had excited much discontent. We un-
derstand that the object of these measures was to keep the pub-
lic attention diverted from the distribution of the medals sent by
the Emperor of Russia to the Turkish troops, who had- en-
camped with the Russians at Unkiar-Skelessi. It seems that
the popular feeling was against this distribution and that the Sul-
tan had delayed it as long as possible, until the Emperor's com-
mands were peremptory. His stratagem was successful ; for
while the populace of Constantinople were grumbling about the
ordinances which regulated their dress, the medals were distri-
buted. The insurgents are increasing in numbers in Albania,
which is attributed to the machinations of Mehemet Ali.
The funds at Vienna, on the 21st, were—Five per Cents.,
Metalliques, 102; Four per Cents., 951; Bank Shares, 1331.
