 FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
 LATE FROM FRANCE.

BosroN, .Hareh 26.
 By the ship Clcmatis, arrived here yesterday from Havrc, whence she sail ed 9th Feb. papers are received from Havrc 10 that date inclusive.
 Aletterfrom Mcssrs. ,Wellcs & Green, dated 9th Feb. states that the Duke oi Nemours was chosen King of Belgium by a majority of one, but that the Gov crnment of France would not accedc to 1t, and therefore the Belgians will be left in the same state of uncertainty as be- fore the election. The writer also ex- presses an opinion that the Poles viii not he able to oppose the immense Russian force marching against them.
 We have been politely favored with T copy of the following extract of let ter to sfessts. J tS E. Weiles, dated Havrc, February 9, which is the latest advices:
 '.The ship Clemalis having been de- tained by westly wind, write again to say, that the news from Paris, by Esta- fette, is, that the if1soi anszuer of the King of France to the Belgie deputation, has not yet been given: so that the Due de Nemours may yet be King of Belgiuml 2 1t is conieetured that the French 'Go- vernment are waiting toraespatehes from England. There is nothing further new."
 From rapid perusal of the papers, the prominent event appears to be the election of the Duke of Nemours, son of the French King, as King of the Bel giaas. He succeeded by majority of one only in opposition to the Duke of Leuchtenburg, and the Archduke of Austria. France remained much the same as by our former accounts. The better opinion was, that, notwithstapd, ing the prudish attitude that France had first assumed, against accepting the Grown of Belgium for the Due de Ne mours, that she would accept the offer of the Crown, had there been large majority of the Belgic Congress in his favor. Although it had been stated that the Government had positively de- clined the offer, 1t will be seenhy the private letter which we give above, that the decision of the French Government was still unknown. We have made some 'translations below.
 Belgian,.-The Journal du Com merce of February 6, contains the ac- count of the election of the Duke de Nemours asking of Belgium by the Ma {inpn1 C,opurocc ,>,, tb<, pl -f yS1xl>,.,...,., On the first ballet, the whole number of votes was l9l: viz. for the Duke de Ne mours 80; the Duke de Leuchtenburg 67; the Archduke Charles, of Austria, ss''5. No one haynga majority, the Con- gress proceeded to a second ballot, when the whole number of votes was le2. of which the Duke de Nemours had 97.- si'1c Ii'1c i ifresidenttileR declared the vote, and said, .si therefore proclaim the Duke de Nemours to be the King of Bel gium.'
 No sooner had he pronounced this de- cision, than cries of ..1spc te Due de .Ae- saoatrs' were heard from all quarters. In. the galleries were heard appiauscs, and stamping of the feet; the ladies waving their handkerchiefs, and general joy vas exhibited in the countenance of ali. It seemed that the members who had opposed the candidate upon whom the choice oi the Congress eventually fell. did 1t oaiyia the iuliiinent of obIiea- tions founded on previous promises, and that their real wishes didnot accord with their votes, so lively was the satisfaction. and so sincere the joy which for the most part ss,si;.s exhibited by them.
 The same shouts were repeated with out, and spread instantaneously through out the city, followed by the roar of cannon and general illumination in ev cry street. A companyof young peo- pie marched through the city, bearing the tri-colored flag. singing ssla Parisi- en,ac, and shouting s'pire le Due de Ne s'aours! ripe le TO- des Bslges." long live tue Duke of Nemours long Eye the Hing of Belgium,
