FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

EUROPE.

FRANCE. The only intelligence from this country of any importance relates to the plan of the Finance Minister for reducing the interest of the National Debt. This measure, which had been carried by a large majority in the Chamber of Deputies, was on the 5th instant rejected by the Peers, on a division in which the ministry were left in a minority of 105 to 130. Some ascribe this result to the personal interest of the Peers in the five per cent. Stock, while others impute it to the influence of the clergy, who, as they were likely to be the greatest sufferers by the law, became, of course, its most strenuous opposers.

NETHERLANDS.-A treaty has been concluded between the King of the Netherlands and Great Britain, for regula ting the trade and intercourse of their colonies in the east. The two parties engage not to impose any hurtful restrictions on each other's trade; but to allow a free commercial intercourse, on payment of such reasonable duties as may be agreed on.

SPAIN. The long-expected amnesty, or act of grace, was issued by Ferdinand on the 1st of May, but the advantages hoped from it have been so far from meeting with fulfilment, that it might be termed a list of proscriptions rather than any thing else.

The following are the description of persons still designated for punishment:

"1. The Chiefs of the military insurrection of the Isle of Leon.

"2. The Members of the Cortes who proclaimed the dethronement of the King at Seville.

"3. The Chiefs of military insurrections in different parts of Spain, at Madrid, &c.

4. The assassins of Vinueza, the Judges of Elio, and the authors of the massacres in the prisons of Grenada."

The exceptions are ranged into fourteen classes, and all of them are so indefinite, that the Government may, with the utmost facility, under their sanction, harass, with vexatious trials, at least, every man who shared in the revolution, and did not desert it; and not only may this be done, but the fifth article ordains, that "the respective authorities shall proceed to the examination of the conduct of such individual, as may have given evident proofs of their adherence to the Constitutional regime; and if their present conduct shall be found to be that of faithful subjects, they shall not be disquieted in any sort. But, on the other hand, if by actions, writings, or speeches, they are likely to trouble the public peace, they must be judged and visited with all the severity which is announced for the guilty in the preceding exceptions."-This way of punishing men for crimes which they may commit, is certainly the most effectual one for preventing the commission; but it is monstrous

to call the edict which enjoins it "an act of grace." The "general pardon," too, is only granted "with the exception of corporeal and pecuniary penalties," which include, we should suppose, every species of punishment short of perpetual imprisonment or death; and yet all these items of despotic command are what this amnesty calls "the benefits of grace, civil liberty, and personal security!" This document would have told us enough of the miserable state of that country where such measures are resorted to, even if the details of its misery were not daily reaching us. Thousands who have hitherto supposed themselves exempt from the necessity of asking the King's forgiveness, find, with astonishment and alarm, that the application has not been waited for, and that they are included in the proscribing exceptions. From Madrid alone, (the smallest capital in Europe,) seven thousand families are said to have emigrated since the 1st of January. Fear is the first impulse excited in the public mind by the commencement of a persecution; and in the present case, the suggestions of fear have been powerfully reinforced by the presence of the French garrison. The influence of panic is, however, as transient as that of all other popular emotions, and a dreadful reprisal may be expected when the reign of fear shall have expi red, and when the French troops shall have been removed. Daily quarrels arise between the royalist soldiers and their foreign auxiliaries, on account of the violences of the former being of such a character as to call for interference. At the feast of St Isidore, (the 5th,) an affray took place between a French corps and the regiment of Quesada, in which several lives were lost on both sides. The royalist volunteers are by no means satisfied with the exceptions of the amnesty, numerous as they are; but steps have been taken to keep them in order. A committee, formed from ex-members of the Inquisition, is sitting day and night to make out a catalogue of prohibited books; and an order has been issued for all persons who were formerly employed under the French administra tion, and who are now without occupa-, tion, to quit Spain without delay.

A member of the late militia was put to death on the morning of the 13th for having said," that his sword was rusty— but that he would only wash away its rust in the blood of the King."

In aggravation of the ills under which the country is already suffering, appre hensions are entertained of calamities of a different description. Symptoms of the

yellow fever have appeared at Valencia, and the drought is such throughout the country that the harvest of this year, it is feared, will be next to nothing. Accordingly the price of grain has nearly doubled, and there is no saying where the rise may stop, especially if speculators should interfere. The distress of the people is at the height, for however abstemious they may be, they still require some little food, which they cannot procure, being destitute of every kind of resource.

Recent advices from Bayonne state, that intelligence had arrived there from Madrid of some serious commotions which occurred in that capital on the 23d, in consequence of the scarcity of bread. The bakers' shops were broken open and pillaged; and it was found necessary to protect them by a strong military guard. The people reproached the French troops with being the cause of their distress, and it is stated that great animosity prevails between the latter and the Spanish soldiers.

PORTUGAL. The capital of this country was thrown into the greatest consternation in the early part of May, by a struggle between two Court parties, the one headed by the Queen and her son Don Miguel, and the other by the King. The object of the latter appears to have been the deposition of the former, and the establishment of a more arbitrary system of Government. With this view, the Prince, under pretence of having discovered a plot against the House of Braganza, gained over the troops, of which he was Generalissimo, and was crowding the prisons of Lisbon with victims, when the foreign ministers interfered, and insisted on seeing the King, whom the conspirators had confined and surrounded with a guard. His Majesty, on recovering his freedom, issued a proclamation, directing that summary proceedings should be adopted throughout the kingdom towards the guilty, that their punishment might speedily take place, while, on the other hand, he pardoned all that had been done by his son, upon the ground that the urgency of the case would not allow of his previously con sulting with his Majesty or his Ministers. From the tenor of this proclamation, it was suspected that his Majesty was still held in restraint by the party of the Queen, and this his subsequent conduct soon proved. On pretence of going to mass, he contrived to escape the snares spread against him throughout his Court, by seeking an asylum on board the Windsor Castle, a British ship of war lying in the Tagus.
