FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

SPAIN.

General Sebastiani, contrary to what was expected, has set
out on his journey to London, as, the successor of Prince T.►l-
- Count Pozzo di Burg° is also to proceed hither very
Rona, as the representative of Russia—it is said, rather against
his will. .

The Paris papers of Tblrsday do not contain any domestic
news of importance; but if the following intelligence, which
we extract from the :Ifem'ag Ileralit of Saturday, can be relied
on, it is. of no small moment in the present state of Spain:—
" Cinrz; JAN. 9.—The Civil Governor of our city has just
been apprised of the formation or four Cariist
:bands in the
neighbourhood. They are not as yet numerous, but they may
acquire importance, if the government does not immediately
take energetic measures to annihilate them. A courier has been
dispatched to Seville this morning to ask the Captain General
for leave to send troops against the factious, who have united
their forces between Vejes and Medina, within eight leagues of
Cadiz."

PORTUGAL.
LISBON, JAN. 17.—These good people are now looking out
fur the arrival of the Duke of Leuchtenberg in the course of
next week, so much so, that the Government Gazette has a long
notice from the Minister of the Interior, containing the pro-
gramme of the ceremonies to be observed upon the arrival of
his royal highness, as well as upon the solemnization of the
marriage at the cathedral church of Santa Maria la Mayor.
he moment that the ship in which the prince shall come
arrives within sight of the lighthouse at Cape Roca, information
of thezesone is to be transmitted by telegraph, in order that the
Major-General of. the Navy and a Lbrd in Waiting may pro-
ceed as tar as Fort St. Julian to compliment hint on his arrival.
As his royal highness sails up the river to opposite the dockyard,
the forts on the banks of, as well as the ships at anchor in, the
Tagus, are to fire royal salutes; all the Ministers, the Coun-
cillors of State, and the Lords in Waiting, and other officers of
the palace, will go on board to pay their respects. Her Imperial
Majesty the Duchess of Braganza will then proceed in state
from the palace, escorted by a troop of cavalry, to welcome her
royal brother and conduct him from the ship to pay his first visit
to the Queen ; immediately on coming out of the dockyard the
royal cortege will be met by that very gallant corps the sth Ca-
ladores, of which his royal highness has been named colonel ;
upon his arrival at the palace of Necessidades he will be received
in due state and conducted to the Queen by the Empress widow,
and after a very short visit he will return on board ship, weather
ermitting, (otherwise to the royal quiuta at Belem, which has
been fitted up for the occasion,) where his royal highness will
remain until the next dly, at ten o'clock, a.m., the hour fixed
for his joining the royal marriage procession to the cathedral,
which is to start front the palace of -Necessidades. The streets.
are to be Hued with troops; in fact, everything is to be the same
as upon the Queen's marriage, by proxy, on the Ist of December
last. On the following day the Queen and her august
,consort
will hold a court and drawing-room at the Ajuda Palace, and
their Majesties, as well as her Imperial Majesty the Duchess of
Braganza, and her Royal Highness the Infanta Don Isabella
Maria, will go in state to the Italian Opera at San Carlos.
I am assured that the chambers will positively meet onTues-
day, the 20th, for the despatch of business. The government
people expect to carry everything before them.
The directors of the Lisbon Bank have issued a notice to the
shareholders inviting them to call and inspect the company's
affairs, books, and accouuts' which shall be opened for that pur-
pose during three days. This is a beneficial mode of dealing.
The committee of the Chamber of Deputies appointed to report
on the regulations which.it might be deemed expedient to adopt
in future for the exportation of winesaif, this country, have de-
teriniued to recommend the following, which. I transmit for the
information of all such of our merchants as are interested iu the
wine trade—viz.:— •
1. The exportation of all wines of eithermargin of the Douro
is allowed per the Fez, no matter what its quality may be.
2. The Douro, wine is of two qualities—superior wine and
second quality wine.
3. The superior wine exported per the Foz of the Douro will
pay a duty of BJOO mitres per pipe of 21 almudes, no matter the
place where it may he destined.
4. The second quality‘wines will pay the same duties as are
charged to the other Portuguese wines exported through other
ports.
5. The qualification of the wine shall be affected at Oporto in
the following 'manner :—The proprietor of the wine shall name
a person to taste the same, and the collector of the customs is to
appoint another; their opinion will determine whether the wine
is to be charged for the duty 'as first or second quality, and the
Custom-house despatch will be made out accordingly.
I understand that these regulations, if adopted, will give. 2121
ple satisfaction.
It is now more than seven or eight mouths since it became my
duty to forward to you some unpleasant correspondence which
had passed between Sir John M. Doyle, K.C.8., and Brigadier
General Bacon ; every. one considered that the matter was at
rest, when on the 15th instant a most scandalous and unbecom-
ing scene was witnessed by the inhabitants of this capital be-
tween the above gentlemen. It appears that in consequence of
a petition to the chambers from Sir J. M. Doile, wherein he
made certain charges' against Brigadier-General Bacon and
• Colonel Shaw, of the Scotch Fusileers, the same was referred
by the legislature to the Duke of Terceira, Minister of War,
who has in consequence directed a court of inquiry to be insti-
tuted on the above-mentiouecrofficers, in consequence of which
Brigadier-General Bacon assaulted Sir John M. Doyle in the
manner poiuted out in document No. 1, which corresponds in
the principal points with docuineut No. 2,—the first being Sir
John's account of the transaction, and the last General Bacon's.
I believe that matters, iu a commercial point of view, stand
on a very satisfactory footing at this moment between the go-
vernment of Great Britain and these people. A. 0.
