FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. EUROPE. FRANCE. The last intelligence from this country is of a very alarming nature. The Paris papers of the 6th instant contain accounts of serious commotions that have lately taken place in that city, from the following cause: It appears that cer tain missionaries had for some time past assembled in the Church of the Petites Peres in Paris, and exhibited their relics, saints, and miracles; at the same time preaching the doctrines of divine right, unqualified submission, and blind adoration. These doctrines had been frequent ly alluded to with reprobation in the Chamber of Deputies; and had excited, against the missionaries, the strongest feelings of disgust and indignation. On Sunday the 3d instant, they began to preach in the church of Notre Dame des Victories. On the Tuesday following. great crowds were collected about the church, and some disorders took place which were quickly suppressed. O Wednesday, the Archbishop of Paris re paired to the church, to countenance the mission. The public peace was again disturbed, by the contemptuous proceed ings of the crowd, who threw squibs and crackers into the church, to interrupt the religious service. The gens d'armes we called to the scene of tumult, disperse } the mob, and took several of the rioters into custody, among whom were two Deputies. Similar excesses were committed, on Thursday, at the Church des Petits Peres, where twelve persons were arrested, and conducted to the Prefecture of the Police. The spirit of disaffection seems to pervade some other public functionaries, as two Chiefs of Division in the office of the Minister of Justice have been dismissed; several changes have been made in the Prefecture of Police, and eighteen Prefects and Sub-Prefects have been discharged. The Prefect of Police has issued an order, prohibiting the assembly of people in crowds or groups, upon pain of being tried for the crime of rebellion. Accounts are also given of plots, conspiracies, and commotions in various parts of the kingdom. Insurrec tions had occurred at Thenzay and Niort, and several persons had been arrested at Thouars. A party, consisting of about fifty men, headed by General Berthon, recently appeared in Saumur, where they hoisted the tri-coloured flag, and manifested the most tumultuous conduct. They were attacked by the municipal guard, and a conflict of some obstinacy took place between them, before they could be expelled. Several of General Berthon's party were killed. Of the remainder, the greater portion were apprehended, and lodged in prison. Their leader made his escape, but almost unaccompanied. The second military council sitting at Tours, passed sentence, on the 28th of February, on the officers of the conspiracy at Saumur. Five of the persons accused are condemned to death. The Ruche d'Aquitaine says, that its correspondent at Grenoble states, that agents of insurrection continue to traverse the country, and to circulate the most seditious writings. The same journal adds, that two songs, which bear the stamp of revolt and crime, have been clandestinely printed and circulated at Bourdeaux, and that they are the objects of a very strict search. Such appears to be the present internal state of France; while, in the meantime, the government appears determined to push through the legislature the obnoxious law regarding the liberty of the press. On the 15th February, this law. passed in the Chamber of Deputies; the number being for it 219, against it, 191. Twenty-five members of the opposition refused to vote at all. On the 18th, it was presented to the King, and by him transmitted to the Chamber of Peers, where, by the last accounts, it was still in discussion. M. Talleyrand ably opposed the law, and said he would only consent VOL. X. to adopt it with the three following modifications:-1. That the word "Constitutional" be restored to the second Article.-2. That the oral proof consecrated by the law of May 1819, be admitted againt Public Functionaries, in respect of the acts of their administration.-3. That the Trial by Jury be restored, instead of the Correctional Police. SPAIN. The Extraordinary Cortes of Spain closed their Session on the 14th January, on which occasion the King attended in person, and delivered a speech to the Assembly, which contained a recapitulation of, and eulogium on, the several Acts of the Session, at the head of which stands that most important measure, the territorial division of Spain. The President, in his answer, begins by reminding Ferdinand of the oaths which he has taken to maintain the free constitution. He then runs rapidly over the various important objects which the exCortes were bound to attend to-dwells, though in general terms, on the difficulties which they had to encounter-and congratulates the King and nation on their delivery, through the courage and prudence of the Cortes, "from a dreadful crisis, into which unfortunate circumstances had conducted them." He concludes by some pointed and just remarks on the advantages of a representative as compared with an arbitrary Government; and anticipates, from the labours of the succeeding Cortes, the completion of the great structure of a free and constitutional monarchy. ITALY.-Letters from Naples, of the 5th of February, state, that a band of conspirators, principally men known by their dishonourable life, some who had escaped from justice, and among whom a person of respectable rank in life could not be found, had, with the aid of a secret society, formed the plan of massacring, in one night, every respectable person in Palermo holding a public situation. The 12th January was fixed for carrying the project into execution. On that night, the conspirators were to repair to the Grand Theatre, where the civil and military authorities, and all the distinguished personages of Palermo, would be assembled, to celebrate the King's birth-day. After sacrificing their victims, the conspirators were to repair to the fortress, hoist the tri-coloured flag, and proclaim the American Constitution. It is said that they calculated on the assistance of the Spaniards, and particularly of such of the Italian Carbonari as had taken refuge in Span. All the details of this conspiracy having been communicated to Cardinal Graowa, Archbishop of Palermo, 3E by one of the conspirators, the Neapoli tan Police, assisted by the Austrian military, prevented the meditated massacre. A great number of persons were arrested; some have been shot, and others sent to Naples. RUSSIA, TURKEY, AND GREECE. The intelligence from the North and the East of Europe is daily assuming an aspect of deeper importance. Persia has rejected the interference of Britain to bring round peace with Turkey. The Schah sanctions the conduct of his son, and hostilities are continued against the Ottoman power. On the frontiers of Bessarabia, say the latest accounts, every thing is ready to commence hostilities, which are considered unavoidable. The Russian soldiers look upon the war against the Mahommedans as a sacred cause, and burn with ardour to engage in it. Two of the Grand Dukes had left Petersburgh for the armies in the South, and the Emperor and all his Ministers were, at the date of the latest accounts, expected to follow immediately. The following article, from the London Courier of Friday, the 8th instant, and the manner in which it is given, is of the first importance, and sets very nearly the question at rest. "The following is an extract of a private letter, which we have received this morning from Paris. In that capital, among the best-informed persons upen political events, the persuasion is very strong that hostilities must take place between Russia and Turkey, and that the declaration of war by the former Power, will soon be put forth. We can add no. thing to this belief, of our own know. ledge, either one way or the other; but shall merely lay before our readers the facts communicated by our correspon. dent." Paris, Tuesday Night.-A commer. cial courier arrived here to-day, from St Petersburgh, which he left on the 17th of February. It was believed, at his departure, that war was on the point of breaking out with Turkey, for orders had been sent to all the armies, and to the Rus sian fleet in the Black Sea. The Grand Dukes were gone to the army, and the Emperor and his Ministers were expected to set off immediately.' By accounts from Constantinople, it appears that the Janissaries, having persisted in their refusal to repair to the army, the Porte had been obliged to continue them in Constantinople, and to march off a portion of the Asiatic troops to reinforce Churschild Pacha, who has called for support, to enable him to make head against the Greeks, who are successful in Thessaly, almost the whole of which has fallen into their power. The Ottoman fleet, destined to co-operate in the expedition against the Morea, is arming with great activity. Napolidi Romania has fallen into the hands of the Greeks, but the Turks still hold possession of the citadel of Athens. The Pacha of Egypt has conquered the kingdom of Kortasan, so well known for its gold and iron mines. The Sovereign of that country fell in the field of battle. PROCEEDINGS OF PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, Feb. 11.-The Royal assent was notified by commission to the Insurrection (Ireland) Bill, and the Habeas Corpus Suspension (Ireland) Bill. The Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftesbury, and Lord Viscount Melville. 26. The Agricultural distress of the country became the subject of a lengthened discussion. The Earl of Liverpool, in moving that the Estimates of the year should be laid before their Lordships, entered into an able expose of the state of the country, detailed the view taken by Government of the existing difficulties under which the Agriculturists laboured, and the relief it was proposed to extend to them. The Noble Earl's speech was, in substance, the same as that delivered by the Marquis of Londonderry, some evenings before, in the other House. He dwelt on the increase which had taken place in the population of the country during the last twenty years, which, notwithstanding the pressure of the war, amounted to near three millions. He also drew a flattering picture of the state of the Revenue. The Noble Earl said, the arrears on the Excise Duties of last year, amounting to 27 millions, did not exceed £.5000; and even this trifling sum, it was expected, would be recovered without much difficulty. He denied that the Agricultural distress originated in taxation; and contended we were only suffering in common with the same class of persons in every part of the Continent of Europe, as well as the United States of America; and he adduced, as a proof that the country was in a flourishing state, the improved state in our commerce, and the increased consumption of articles of comfort by the great body of the people, of tea, candles, soap, bricks, &c.
