FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

EUROPE.

FRANCE. The Paris papers of the 3d May contain an account of the baptismal ceremony of the Duke of Bourdeaux, post humous son of the late Duke de Berry, which took place on the 1st. The King went in great pomp from the Thuilleries, having in the carriage with him all the members of his immediate house, except the child who was the principal actor, and who, with the ladies in attendance on him, occupied the carriage next to that of his Majesty. The streets were lined with troops; and, crowded as was the church with spectators, the members of the legis-, lative body and of the municipal corps of Paris attended. The clergy harangued the King, and were answered by him: the royal cortege was met and followed by loud applauses, and the day closed with magnificent fire-works, while the palace gardens and public offices were brilliantly illuminated. The Abbe Count Montesquieu, who had been minister of the Interior after the return of the King, has been created a Duke; the same title has been conferred on Count Blacas, French Ambassador to the Holy See; and Viscount Chateaubriand has been restored to the situation he held before, of Minister of State, and Member of the Privy Council.

SPAIN. The accounts received from various parts of Spain represent that country as in a very unsettled state. The clergy, who still draw a large party after them, are, as might have been expected, extremely dissatisfied; and accounts from Yrun mention, that the guerillas have, in some parts, taken arms in their cause. A corps of these irregulars, amounting to 1000 men, suddenly appeared in the neighbourhood of Vittoria, and in a severe action defeated the national guard of that city, four of whom only are said to have escapcd. In consequence of this event, the Political Chief of Tolosa ordered all the militia of the three Biscayan provinces to assemble and march against the rebels. The band above mentioned had appeared at Salvatierra, four leagues from Vittoria, and effaced the inscription on the constitutional pillar, amidst cries of "Long live the absolute Monarch and religion." In Barcelona and Valencia commotions have been so frequent, that many of the inhabitants had withdrawn from these places. At the former place upwards of twenty persons of distinction, considered unfriendly to the

constitutional system, among whom were several generals and clergy, have been arrested and sent to Majorca. Among the generals were three foreign soldiers of fortune, General Sarzfield, Campbell, and Fournas-cach respectively of Irish, Scotch, and French extraction. The mail from Bayonne to Madrid was stopped at Burgos about the middle of last month by a party of guerillas, consisting of about 100, who burnt all the papers and letters, and even the vehicle in which they were conveyed. In the capital also inveterate jealousies seem to be growing up between the King and the Cortes, who are supported by the people. There is no union or cordiality between the two parties in the state, and time appears to be only widening the breach. In these circumstances, the least appearance of dissatisfaction on the part of the King with the present order of things kindles the general discontent into a flame, and threatens to interrupt the public tran quillity by a popular tumult. His Majesty, it appears, was absent from a solemn religious ceremony on Holy Thursday, which excited great murmurs among the inhabitants of the capital, insomuch that it was found necessary to surround the royal residence with troops to protect the person of the King against outrage. The people were at length appeased by an official assurance that his Majesty's absence proceeded from indisposition.

In order to put down the ultra-royalist bands that have lately sprung up in various quarters, the Cortes have passed a decree, which enacts, in substance, that all persons taken in attempts to resist the civil or military authorities, by force of arms, shall be tried by military law.

PORTUGAL. The Lisbon papers of the 10th April contain an account of the proceedings of the Cortes, from which it ap pears that the most important reformations have been begun. The army has been reduced, the Inquisition abolished, and part of the enormous revenues of the church, which have long been felt as a grievous burden on the nation, have been appropriated to the payment of the public debt. It has been also decreed, that any subject of the Crown of Portugal who refuses to swear to the basis of the Constitution, shall forfeit his right of citizenship, and be forced to leave the kingdom.

NAPLES. The Austrian troops, without any resistance, arc spreading themselves

over all the Neapolitan provinces; and, having now completely put down the revolutionary power, severe decrees have been published against all those who have had any share in the late revolution. Among other measures adopted by the new Government, it has been decreed, that all persons convicted of carrying prohibited arms are to be punished with death as assassins, and all members of secret societies to share the same fate as traitors. Free permission has been given to all and sundry the lieges to put Ex-General Rosarolli to instant death, if found within the states of his Neapolitan Majesty. This general commanded at Messina, and resisted the counter-revolution. Large rewards have also been offered for the apprehension of six other persons who distinguished themselves during the Revolution.

The Austrian garrison in the capital of Naples amounts to 30,000 men. The King has not yet returned to his capital. Sicily, it is said, has declared itself independent.

The Milan Gazette states, that the total loss of the Austrians in the campaign against Naples was only 7 killed and 50 wounded! Not an Austrian was taken prisoner.

PIEDMONT. The revolution in this country has had a similar termination to that of Naples. On the 8th ult. the MiIanese division of the Austrian army crossed the Tessino, which forms the N. W. boundary of Piedmont, without meeting any resistance. They proceeded to Novara, (about ten miles,) where they received the submission of the revolutionary army. On the following day (the 9th) they entered Alessandria, and a proclamation was the same day issued by the Provisional Junta at Turin, resigning its functions to the Municipal Body of the capital, and communicating to the citizens that the citadel had been surrendered to the National Guard. By a letter addressed to General Andezeno, and published by him at Chambery, it appears that the revolutionists in arms did not exceed 5000, and that they waited but to look at one regiment of Hulans before they fled. Turin received an Austrian garrison on the evening of the 10th; and, since then, no farther resistance appears to have been made by the revolutionary party, to the complete restoration of the old order of things. King Victor Emanuel has issued another decree, confirming his former deed of abdication; but his brother, the Duke of Genevois, has not yet assumed the regal authority.

GREECE.-Insurrectionary Movements against the Turks.-Since our last publication various details have reached this country of an attempt of the Greck provinces to shake off the yoke of Turkey. It appears that, on the 6th March, Prince Alexander Ypsilanti (son of the former Hospodar of

Moldavia, Major-General in the Russian army, but who for the last year has been out of actual service) proceeded, with a numerous retinue of Arnauts, from Bessarabia to Jassy, and announced himself as the deliverer of the Greeks from the Turkish Government. The Turks at Jassy, about thirty in number, were disarmed, and put to death. Three days before the arrival of the Prince, an insurrection, attended with bloodshed, had taken place at Galacz, in which all the Turks in that city, who could not save themselves by flight, were massacred, and the city itself almost wholly laid in ashes. On the 7th, Prince Ypsilanti issued numerous proclamations, both to the inhabitants of Moldavia and Wallachia, and to the Greek nation in the other provinces of the Turkish empire. These proclamations, in which he declares himself to have been called upon by many thousands of his countrymen to undertake the work of their deliverance, describe the insurrection of all the Greek tribes as a revolution which has long been resolved upon, being preparing for many years by secret patriotic societies, and is now everywhere matured for execution; and assert, that the enterprise has to expect the powerful support of a great neighbouring power. Prince Ypsilanti also addressed a petition to the Emperor of Russia, calling on that august Sovereign not to refuse his powerful support to the Greek nation, and particularly to the two principalities, which were exposed to great danger.

As soon as the preceding intelligence was received at Laybach, the Emperor Alexander declared that he could consider the undertaking of Prince Ypsilanti only as an effect of the unquiet spirit which characterises the present times, as well as of the inexperience and levity of that young man: his Imperial Majesty condemned, in the most explicit terms, the insurrections, dismissed Prince Ypsilanti from the Rus sian service; ordered his General, who commands a body of troops in that neighbourhood, to maintain the most rigid neutrality; and his Ambassador at Constanti nople to communicate these measures to the Porte, and that it was his determination to preserve the relations of amity and peace in the most unqualified manner. Similar assurances have been given to the Porte by the Imperial Austrian Internuncio.

Since the breaking out of this insurrection, the intelligence received of its progress has been vague and contradictory. From Moldavia and Wallachia we have only confused rumours, and those from the Morea have been still more vague and unsatisfactory. If we may rely on advices of a recent date, which have reached the Continent from the latter portion of the Turkish empire, the project of a general revolt

had for some time been formed by the Greek inhabitants of that province, and an early day in the last month was fixed on for its execution. The Turks, however, becoming acquainted with the design, took the necessary measures to counteract it. Amongst other precautions, the fortress of Patrasso, situated at the entrance of the Gulf of Lepanto, was strengthened by an addition to the garrison. In the commence. ment of the last month, amongst other houses which the Turks burnt in a sally from the fortress, was one belonging to a Greek bishop. On this occasion, the Greeks in their turn became the assailants, and the contest was long and sanguinary. The arrival of a strong reinforcement, brought to the aid of his friends by the bishop, gave the advantage to the Greeks, and the Turks were obliged to take refuge in the fortifications, after fighting with their usual undaunted courage and ferocity. The loss of lives on both sides is represented to have been very considerable. The town was afterwards bombarded by the Turks, and so effectually, as to accomplish the destruction of a great number of houses. This indiscriminate attack drew forth a remonstance from the European consuls.

The

In the meantime, Constantinople appears to be the scene of some confusion. Greeks were everywhere alarmed for their safety; the houses of the several ambassadors were crowded with individuals of the Greek persuasion, claiming protection for themselves and families. Prince Callimachi is said to have been beheaded for with holding from the Porte information of his countrymen's projects. Fugitives were crowding on board Russian vessels to Odessa and other parts of the Euxine, and the Russian ambassador had successfully resisted the orders of the Divan to have the ships under his flag inspected.

The opposite extremities of the Turkish empire also are, it is said, in a state of much danger and confusion. In Arabia the Wechabites again raise their heads; and although Mahomet Ali, the Pacha of Egypt, can alone restrain these troublesome insurgents, the Porte has had the singular indiscretion to incur the resentiment of the Egyptian governor, by threatening him with a maritime expedition to strip him of his treasures, the main spring of all his mi. litary resources, and of his vigorous and bold administration. Ali, therefore, instead of a protector, becomes a mortal enemy to the Turks. All these fresh difficulties press upon the Turkish Government at a time when its utmost exertions have been found inadequate to subdue the Pacha of Janina. The German journalists, in their speculations as to the measures which it may adopt in the existing emergency, state its present military force at 181,000 caval

ry and 225,000 infantry, an estimate which is probably much exaggerated.

ASIA.

MASSACRE AT MANILLA.--Intelligence has been received of a dreadful massacre of the foreign inhabitants at Manilla, the capital of Luzon, one of the Philippine Islands, which took place on the 9th, 10th, and 11th of October last. It appears that on the 9th, at Binondo, the suburbs of Manilla, a massacre was commenced by the native population, first with the French, and ultimately with all strangers without distinction. Twenty-five gentlemen, captains and supercargoes of foreign ships in the Caveite, fell a sacrifice to these barbarians; and, on the following day, sixteen Chinese. Every thing they could find in the houses of the unfortunate people who had fallen victims was either burnt or carried off. The loss is estimated at 400,000 dollars; and the different residences of those who have been so cruelly massacred present the most dreary aspect of rapine, murder, and devastation, not to be describ. ed, and never to be forgotten. A procla mation by the political chief of the Philip pine Islands, published in a Bourdeaux journal, states, as the cause of this tragical event, that the superstitious Indians, who inhabit the district of Tondo, and the town of Binondo, having seen a collection of insects, serpents, and other animals, dried and preserved by the French naturalists, conceived that it was the process by which poison was made for the wells and river, and the origin of the cholera morbus; some miscreants, profiting by the ignorance of these Indians, instigated them to commit the murders and plunder which took place. The political chief requires the natives to denounce to justice the guilty promoters of the diabolical plan, as the only medium through which they can have any claim upon the clemency of his Catholic Majesty, and thus to redeem the stain which have been thrown upon the Philippine Isles and their inhabitants. By private letters from Manilla, great blame is attached to the Spanish governor of that place; who, although he had an armed force under his command, sufficient at any time to have dispersed the natives, used no effort to put a stop to their cruelties, until he heard that they had attacked the Chinese merchants; many of whom being joined in trade with the Spaniards, this selfish and barbarous governor instantly interfered, and a threat of immediate military execution induced the natives at once to desist, and return to their habitations. Such is the account given by persons who suffered in this savage insurrection; and the conduct of the governor will, no doubt, become the subject of serious inquiry.
