FOREIGN INTE L LI ENCE.

The French Papers of Monday are totally silent respect-
ing the affairs of Spain ; but they contain intelligence from
Greece which continues to be of a most cheering descrip-
tion. The disasters experienced by the Ottoman Maisie,
are confessed by the Turks themselves; and even their
steady friend and defender, the Austrian Observer, admits
that their failure before Mis.olungiti and Anatolica" is a
reverse which is not indifferent to the Porte, and the con-
sequence of which may be very fatal, particularly on ac-
count of the doubtful disposition of the Albanian tribes."
That this disposition is no longer donhtful,however, seems
to he established by the fact that eight thousand Alba-
nians had quitted the standard of Jussuff Yacht and dis-
persed themselves in one day, leaving him in great help-
lessness and danger. This defection is represented as hav-
ing decided the fate of the campaign. the conclusion of
which was hastened by the unusually early appearance of
winter, which covered all the fields with snow at the com-
mencement of November. It does not seem, however,
to have checked the activity of the Greeks, for according
to letters from Corfu, of December 27th. " the garrison of
Patras, seeing the troops which were collected before the
place, and the preparations for an assault, had evacuated
the fortress and taken refuge in Lepanto." If this be
true, the 'forks have lost the place which they considered
as the key of the Mores, if not of all Greece.
It appears that there has been some serious disturbance
in the College of Louis le Grand in Paris. The Alonitcur
calls it " a plot" and " a rebellion," and states that it was
prevented from breaking out by the expulsion of one and
forty young men, before the signal for action was given.
All that is certainly known is, that the number of Stu-
dents expelled, amounted on the whole to 115, and that
the dissatisfaction hitherto confined within the walls of
the College, had extended itself to numerous families,
forming a large and wealthy portion of the community.
The 111onitcur contains the following ordinances of the
King :-
1. An ordinrnce, ordering to be received and published '
in the kingdom in the usual form, seven Papal bolls, live
issued at Rome on the 15th of the calends of December,
1823, and two on the Bth of the calends of the saute month,
ordering the canonical institution of—
f. Gustavus Maximilian Justus, Prince of Crov, and
Bishop of Spasburg, Grand Almoner, and Peer of France,
for the archtothoprie of Rouen.
2. Of Gilbert Paul Aragonoe Donal, for the bishopric of
Langres.
3. Of Maria Joseph Francais Victor Monyes-Prilly, for
the bishopric of Chalons-sur-Marne.
4. Of Jean Francois de Sauntrac Belcastel, for the bish-
opric of Perpignan.
5. Of Jacques Alexis Jacquemin, for the bishopric of
St. Die.
6. Of Jacques Francais Besson, for the bishopric of
.Nets. _ _ _ _ . .

7. Of Claude Maria Paul Tharim, for the bishopric of
Strasburg.
11. Relatea to the publication of a !umber of bolls for
the canonical instituting of Louis Silvestre de la Chat, e,
as Bishop of nseria in paylibus.
Art. 2. of each of these ordinances says, The said bulls
of canonical institutions are received without appro-
bation of the douses, found, or expression which they
contain, and which are, and may be contrsry to the
constitutional charter, to the laws of the kingdom, to
the franchise, liberties, and maxims, of the Ballican
church." . .

The 3d article orders the bulls to be transcribed and
registered in French and Latin ; and the 4th charges
the Keeper of the Seals and the Minister of the Interior
with execution of the ordinances, each as far as he is con-
cerned.
111. Relates to the meeting of the Electoral College at
Maubeuge.
IV. Orders the appointment of an Inspector of the
arsenals, for the construction of the artillery, to. be clioAen
by the War Minister among the Major Generals of that
arm who are in active service.
V. Orders that seamen taken prisoners of war shall have
the time of their captivity counted as actual service.
The non-official part of the Abeaenr contains a very
long report (about two pages) on the affairs of the Bank
of France, by the Governor, the Duke of Gaeta, and the
report of the Censors in the General Meeting of the Pro-
prietors on the 29th of Jan.

We have received the following from Bayonne
BATONNI, Jaw. 27.—From what transpires, it seems
certain that the Constitutionaal corps in Andalusia, Mar-
cia, Valencia, and Uallicia, began to assume an attitude
'which excites some uneasiness. Assassinations are fre-
quent. We have seen a letter from Biscay,whicb says that
the Royalists begin to be on bad terms with the French,
and that an arrangement between them cannot be wade
without the retreat of the French. They will then he at
liberty to treat the Libetals as they pleaaeb The nisei°
of the 22d contains a most indecent article respecting the
French, who are compared to dogs—the means of getting
rid of them are discussed under the coarsest allegory.
Same officers have been to the office of the journal, to learn
the name of the author; but it was not given up. Search
is making for him."
