FOREIGN NEWS.
BALTIMORE, July IS.

the different governments of France to
announce at some distant point, such
intelligence as il might be thought advi-
sable not to appear to proceed, in the
! first instance, from the government il
self. The object in this has been, some
times to break the matter, il not very
agreeable, in the least abrupt way to the
Frenchpeople, at others to avoid giving
direct offence 10 the foreign power i'm.
mediately concerncd.-Thus the pro-
Jects, the views and intentions of Napo-
leon were frequently published, or hint
ed at, in newspaper article at Ham
burg or some other equally distant place,
long before the slightest rumour on the
subject circulated in Paris, but when the
intimation in this way reached the
French capital the ministerial writers
were prepared to publish it with com
mentary suited to the purposes of the
government. An article now before us
is Of the description alluded to, and if
not aware of what we have stated, it
would appear strange that Paris editor
should for the first time learn from a
German Gazette, Of the refusal oil the
French Government TO permit Nj. Hyde
de NEUviLLG TO return from kisbon to
take his seat in tire Chamber of Depu.
ties, and also the cause of that refusal.
The article is the following:--
PARis, May %.
I'VE read in the Augsburg Gazette,
M. Hyde de Melville, French Minister
at Lisbon, has not obtained the leave
that he asked to come to Paris and take
his seat in the Chamber of Deputies,
his presence being judged indispensable
in Portugal, to counterbalance the Eng
iish diplomatic influence upon the Cabi-
net there.D
So far the statement Of the Augsburg
Gazette, but the more valuable part OF
the commune alton is the comment of
the Paris Editor respecting the motive
assigned 70. preventing the return of the
French Ambassador as follows
at this moment thus NOTICE has be-
come still more imperious since tie mgste-
rious soents ,Ohich haze just occurred in
Lisbon"
Thus we have it admitted by writer
under the censorship of the government
that the French and English interests
were at war in the Court Of Portugal,
and this we stated tc be the case when
the news Of the recent events at Lis
bon first reached us. However, if we
are to Judge by what appears on the sur
face, the contention is nearly over as
English policy seems to triumph.
SPAIN THE HARVEST
The subjoined intelligence respecting
Spain presents some points of interest,
and we believe they have hitherto ssca-
ped the observation Of those of our CO.
temporaries who receive the European
Journals The further confirmation OF
the reported failure of the harvest in
Spain is an object likely to engage the
attention Of our merchants.
BAYoNNE, May IS.
"The KINo of Spain, by "a decree, has
created new Rerafe of five millions OF
Reals in favor of The sinking fund.
"A person arrived from Valencia,
says, that person had just died there
with all the sy mptoms Of the yellow fe-
yer. The prisons of that city continue
to be full. 1t is certain that orders have
been gwen to evacuate Carthagena.-
Every possible precaution is taken to
prevent the Introduction of sus picious
goods. The great heat which is already
felt on the coast of the Mediterranea am,
excites well founded apprehensions.
at is said that the Moors have seized
on Ceuta.
"The drought is such throughout all
Spain, that the harvest this ear viii be
next to nothing, accordingly, the price
of grain has nearly doubled.
It's affirmed that it is not the Moors,
but the English, who have taken posses
sion of Ceuta, with view to make a, 50
cond Gibraltar Of it."
ENGLAND AND SOUTH AMERICA.
The South American question begins
to'be warmly taken up by the Mercantile
interest Of England, and we shall not be
surprised if the July Packet brings in
tslligence of the recognition of the New
States by the British Government The
embarrassed state Of the London Stock
Market, alluded to in our publication o
yesterday, the vast sums which the mo-
MED and commercial men Of England
have involved in the ISSUE. and the ge
neral sentiment Of the nation in favor Of
the measure, independent of high politi-
cal considerations, must, we conceive.
