FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

French Papers to the 7th instant, and the Etoile of Sa-
turday have come to hand• They contain no intelligence
from either Greece or Spain, and would require little more
than the mere notice of their arrival, were it not for the
following► observations of the Ministerial Journal des De-
bats on his Britannic Majesty's Speech at the opening of

Parliament.
.1 The Speech of the King of England (says the Journal
des Debuts) has appeared ; it is warded, as we announced
it would be, and is moreover extremely pacific. In 1823
the Parliamentary Session, both in France and England,
opened at a moment when the peace of the world was
threatened, and great events began to reveal themselves in
futurity. In 1824 the Parliamentary year opens under the
most pacific auspices. All Governments are united, all
equally wish for peace. After thirty years of wars and
•revolution, all the nations are disposed to rest. France,
that has never been before so free & happy, & whose prospe-
rity increases in consequence of the independence which
she has acquired, will dedicate all her attention to maintain
this perfect harmony and this reciprocal benevolence be-
tween Governments. A Septennial Chamber, by fixing
all destinies, will 'foster and strengthen amongst us that
spirit of concord ; and it will again be to that French
House which has reigned over us during nine centuries that
we shall owe what the usurpation neither could nor would
give us—liberty and peace."

BA YONN E INTELLIGENCE.
BATONNe,.Ian. 31.—We have letters from Nladri.l of the
28th, the Gazette and the Restaaratlor, neither of
which contain any news from the provinces; it even appears
that for the future these donrnals will not give any but
what have undergone a strict Censorship. Private letters,
too, are silent, and in public people speak with the great-
est reserve. There is, however, a report that SO:Or private
letters announce serious troubles in Galicia ; that Colonel
Amor is recruiting a body of troops; that all the fortresses
are in a manner surrotinded by bodies of partisans,
which hinder the soldiers of the garrison from going out
singly.
The amnesty is still spoken of, but people in general mnd
it difficult to believe in it.
For these two days a very extraordinary piece of news
has been in eirrailot ion at Bayonne: it is said that there have
been at Cadiz too insurrections immediately succeeding
earl( other, hut the French troops behaved so well, that
oilier was wholly restored. Two barracks. however, were
burned. This news stands the more in need or confirmation
as we have letters from Cadiz of a very recent date, written
by persons of distinction, who were in a situation to know
every thing.
Letters from Pampelana say that the French are carrying
on immense works to strengthen the citadel, which seems
to indicate the intention and the necessity of remaining
there a long time. The prisons of the city become gradual-
ly empty, in proporti nri as the prisoners are able to ply the
exorbitant sums demanded of them. To induce tilem to
pay, the alternative is offered themieither to (In so, or to Fe
seat to the galleys. Several young ladies in the city have
haen in this situation.
There is a stronger report than ever that 12,09 men
will shortly enter Spain, and that new divisions of troops
will be formed on our frontiers. Five or six thousand con-
scripts will ;Asa pass throng+ to recruit the corps which
have been reduced by the discharges given.
The military who are electors have received orders from
the IYar Minister to go and give their votes.
