FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

EUROPE. SPAIN. The Cortes of Spain have been convoked, by an extraordinary decree, for the 28th of September, the anniversary of the installation of the Extraordinary Cortes of Cadiz. The objects which are to engage the Congress have been determined by the King, in conformity to the constitution; the principal are the territorial divisions of the kingdom-peace with the colonies the formation of the civil and criminal code, &c. &c. Some vague speculation is given in the accounts from Spain respecting a proposed modification of the Government, to be brought about by pacific means, the effects of which will be to establish an Upper Chamber, and to lodge an absolute veto in the King.

The Madrid papers bring intelligence of a serious commotion in that city on the 20th August. Some persons singing a popular song, near the post of St Martin, were ordered to retire by the officer on guard. They refused, a mob collected, and a disturbance arose, during which the Captain-General Morillo arrived, and fought his way through the mob with his cane only, his sword remaining in the scabbard. This increased the ferment. He was reported to have used his sabre; and the club of the Fontana d'Ora resounded with demands for his head. He published a proclamation, denying his use of the sabre, and justifying himself from the charge of maltreating the people. He sent in his resignation, but the King refused to accept it, and ordered his conduct to be investigated by a Council of War. The Minister of War has also been dismissed to satisfy this furious club; the crators of which have publicly denounced the Infant Don Carlos as being at the head of a conspiracy for re-establish,ing a monarchical government.

PORTUGAL. A squabble has broken out between the Portuguese Ministers and the Envoys of Austria and Russia, resident at Lisbon. On the 24th of August, the anniversary of the King's accepting the Constitution, Lisbon was illuminated, with the sole exception of the hotels of the Austrian and Russian Embassies, some windows of which were broken by the poplace. The Envoys demanded satisfaction, which they obtained, and all manner of intentional offence was disclaimed by the Lisbon Government, but this did not satisfy the Austrian Minister, who demanded his passports, and departed. The Russian Envoy followed his example, declaring

that he would neither illuminate his house nor be outraged by the populace; and both Ministers, (Baron de Thyll and Baron de Sturmer,) with M. Berks, the Austrian Consul General, have arrived in England. -"Notwithstanding all that has passed," says the Lisbon Gazette," the Portuguese Government hopes that this unpleasant affair will not have any consequences tending to disturb the good understanding now subsisting between the governments in ques

[ocr errors]

tion."

It appears by letters from Lisbon of the 22d August, that the Portuguese military are assuming a tone which may lead to unpleasant consequences. A general re. view of the Portuguese troops, under the orders of General Sepulvida, the military commandant of the city of Lisbon, took place in the square of the Terriero de Paco, in the presence of the king, who had placed himself at one of the windows of the royal palace. Before the review concluded, the king being in conversation with several persons of rank, accidentally turned his back to the troops in the Square. One of the first persons who noticed this circumstance was General Sepulvida, who immediately observed to several of the officers that the king had placed himself in that position in order to show his contempt and disgust of the army. This became the signal for a general uproar throughout every regiment under review, which vociferated from every side" Fora, fora," (Off, off:) This exclamation was addressed to the king. So great was the tumult at this moment, that apprehensions were entertained that some acts of violence would be committed on the king, and all those around him. After a short interval, however, the king succeeded in making himself audible, and assured the troops that nothing was farther from his intentions than the being guilty of what was attributed to him. The letters add, that the declaration of the king had the effect of subduing the anger of the troops.

TURKEY The question of peace or war, between Russia and Turkey, is still undecided. A letter from Vienna, of the 17th August, contains the substance of the propositions made by Russia to the Porte, as the terms on which the two countries might continue at amity, viz.

I. "That all the Christian Churches which have been destroyed or pillaged shall be rebuilt, and put into a state of service for their holy destinations, by which

means Europe may be consoled for the death of the Patriarch of Constantinople, and the profanations which followed that deplorable event.

2.That distinction shall be made between the authors of the existing troubles, or those Greeks who have been led to take part in them, and between those whose innocence should protect them from the severity of the Divan.

3. "That the door of peace shall be opened to those who may have remained tranquil, and to those who within a limited period return to submission.

4.That Russia shall be enabled, in the spirit of existing treaties, to assist in the pacification of Moldavia and Wallachia; to place order and tranquillity there on a permanent footing, to the end, that the example of those provinces may be such as to recall to obedience all Greeks who sincerely love their country."

The instructions to the Russian Ambassador, by which they were accompanied, were to require an answer from the Divan in eight days, and Baron Strogonoff seems to have adopted the determination strictly to adhere to them. On the 26th of July, which was the last day allowed for the answer of the Turkish Divan, he sent for their reply. He was informed verbally, that the Porte had determined on compliance with all his propositions, but that, on account of the length of the Russian note, and the necessary time that would be consumed in its translation from the French into the Turkish language, and the reply of the Divan from the Turkish language into the French, they would require fortyeight hours' delay before they could transmit their answer to Baron Strogonoff in the official form. It appears, however, that the peremptory manner of the Russian Ambassador accelerated the movements of the Divan. By the evening of the 26th they had completed their reply in the official form, and sent a message to Baron Strogonoff that it was ready for his acceptance, thus complying with the letter of the Russian note even to the period allowed them for acquiescence or refusal.

No re

ply to this communication was condescended by the Russian Ambassador. On the following morning, two dragomans, (interpreters,) attached to the Russian Embassy, appeared at the Divan, and demanded passports for Baron Strogonoff and his suite to quit Constantinople. Instead of compliance with that demand, the official reply and submission of the Porte to the propositions of Russia were then tendered. Acceptance was refused by the Ambassador, who declared that he could not accept a" tardy answer," and the demand for passports was repeated. They were at length granted for his suite and for his vessel, but the insertion of Baron Strogonoff's

name in any passport was refused, it being understood, however, that no opposition would be made to his departure. The Ambassador, accordingly, embarked on board a French frigate, and after remaining wind-bound some time at Bujukdere, he arrived at Odessa on the 13th of August.

In the meantime, the struggle between the Greeks and Turks is continued; but without the assistance of Russia, the Greeks can have no hope of shaking off the yoke of their tyrants. The insurrection appears to have been put down in Wallachia, but in the Morea the Greeks continue a contest of the most sanguinary nature.

The Greeks and lonians have sustained a defeat; and forty Ionians, whom the Turks had taken prisoners, were impaled or hung on the field of battle. On the other hand, at Hydra, the Greeks actually roasted the Turks alive by a slow fire, first cutting off their ears and noses!-Such is the conduct of these savages towards each other; and if the Turks have hitherto been more barbarous than the Greeks, it is only because they have been more power

ful.

In Constantinople also, the Turkish population, with some fanatical Janissaries, continue their ferocious attacks upon the Greek inhabitants. On the 27th of July the shops of the Greeks were plundered, and upwards of 200 of the owners killed. The banditti were dispersed towards evening, and some of them were apprehended, but they were punished only with the bastinado. On the 29th and 30th the plunder and massacre of the Greeks were re newed, and the government made scarcely any effort to restrain these enormities. An address is said to have been presented by the Russian Imperial Guard to the Grand Duke Constantine, expressive of their desire to march to the assistance of the Greeks.

ASIA.

EAST INDIES.-Bombay couriers have arrived to the 28th of March. They contain a dispatch of the 3d March from Major-General Lionel Smith, stating the successful result of his expedition against the tribe of Beni-Boo-Ali, in the Persian Gulf. On the 2d March the division arrived before the enemy's capital, repulsed a very spirited attack, and gained possession of the whole fortified position before sun-set. The right brigade, composed of about 400 rank and file of his Majesty's 65th regiment, and 300 native infantry, under Colonel Warren, sustained the brunt of the action, and a very heavy loss. loss on the part of the enemy is 500 killed and wounded, and 236 prisoners, of whom 96 are wounded. The two principal

The

chiefs of the tribe are among the prisoners, both badly wounded. The tribe is, by this decisive action, stated to be "effectually put down." The number of the enemy in action is estimated at 1000 men. All the guns which they took from Captain Thomson's detachment in the affair on the 10th of the preceding month were recovered in good condition. To the report is annexed division orders, announcing the grateful acknowledgments of Major-General Smith to the officers and privates, for their cordial co-operation and services, which, though short, were arduous and severe, from the nature of the country and climate. The total killed is 29; wounded 173. In the 65th none was killed; Lieutenants Madden and Guppage are returned wounded; the former severely, and the latter slightly. Ensign Mulden was also slightly wounded. In the 7th N. 1. Assistant Surgeon Gordon was killed, and Captain Stewart and Lieutenant Thurnam were wounded. These papers also contain a detail of the equally successful issue of the operations of the armament detached to the Arabian Gulf, to obtain reparation and satisfaction for the gross indigni ties offered to the British representative at Mocha.

CEYLON.-Accounts have been received from Ceylon to the 9th of April. The most undisturbed tranquillity is stated to reign throughout the island. Improvements on a large scale have lately been going on, under the superintendence of Lieutenant-Colonel Wright, of the Royal Engineers. An extensive inland naviga tion has just been completed and opened, to facilitate the communication between Colombo and the north end of the island, during the south-west monsoon; and several hundred miles of new roads have been laid out, and nearly finished, throughout the interior of the island. The Dauntless, 24, (late Hon. Captain V. Gardner, who died at Canton,) was lying at Trincomalee, preparing to sail on a secret service. The Curlew brig, 18, Captain Gambier, was also in the same port.

AFRICA.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.-Letters and papers from the Cape of Good Hope to the 24th June have been received. They contain information relative to the new settle ments there, and an address from the settlers at Bathurst to General Donkin, the governor, expressive of their gratitude for the arrangements made by government for their comfort, and particularly for supply. ing them with provisions, after the failure of their first crops by blight.

MOROCCO. An article from Ceuta, dated the 23d July, contains the following particulars relative to the affairs of this empire:

"That the discharge of artillery and many other rejoicings at Tetuan were on account of a victory gained by Muley Zeid, with his army of 30,000 men, over that of his uncle Soliman, of 28,000, between New Fez and Old Fez, at a place called El Pal Mar; that Zeid had caused six of the Generals of Soliman to be beheaded, and also a famous Christian engineer. Zeid had 600 men killed in the battle, and Soliman 5500 killed and taken prisoners. The battle was on the 7th. The heads of the persons above-mentioned are fixed up over the gates of Tetuan. Zeid, with half his army, was at Marquinez, and the other half in Old Fez, but that all would unite in the first place, and likewise an army of blacks, who had proclaimed Zeid Emperor. Soliman was retreating with his army twenty leagues from New Fez; that Zeid, after the battle, attacked that city, which shut its gates against him; he raised batteries against it, with which he destroyed his uncle's palace and many houses; after the firing had lasted five days, the women and children, and old people, came out with the books of the law to beg for mercy, which he granted on their proclaiming him Emperor. Zeid is said to have taken a solemn oath on the books of the law not to lay down his arms till his uncle is killed. He is very angry with the Jews of Tetuan, for having alarmed those of Gibraltar, which has induced the English to break off all commerce with Barbary."

AMERICA.

The New York papers of the 11th August contain some important information from Spanish America. It appears that the Patriots, under the command of Bolivar, had gained a decisive victory over the Spanish troops commanded by La Torre. The battle was fought at Carabobo, on the 24th of June, and continued with great fury during the whole day. The Patriot force is stated to have consisted of 3000 infantry, and 1800 cavalry; that of the Royalists, 2500 infantry, and 1400 cavalry. The latter (the Spanish cavalry) are said to have behaved very badly. The Patriots were greatly indebted to the bravery and exertions of two battalions of English who fought with them. It also appears, that General Bolivar had entered Caraccas, though not without a gallant resistance on the part of Pereira, the Royalist commander, in the vicinity of the city, who opposed him at the head of 800 men. capitulation was agreed to between them, by which Pereira was allowed to embark on board of a French vessel at La Guayra. La Torre and Morales remained shut up in Puerto Cavello. From the differences between those two officers, great insubordination existed among the troops
