FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

EUROPE.

FRANCE.-Important events have taken place in this country since our last publication. Louis XVIII. is dead, and is succeeded by his brother, the Count d'Artois, now Charles X. of France. The demise of Louis, which had been long predicted, took place on Thursday, the 17th ult. Notwithstanding of his age, and the accumulation of his bodily infirmities, he seems to have lingered out to the last struggle of expiring nature, and according to the French papers, to have been perfectly conscious of his approaching death, which he met with great mental firmness and resignation. Charles X. is nearly 67 years of age. The following are the other members of the House of Bourbon, of the male sex, in the order of their succession to the French throne:

1. Louis Antoine, Duc d'Angouleme, (now Dauphin,) born August 6, 1775. 2. Henry, Duc de Bourdeaux, son of the Duc de Berri, born Sept. 29, 1820.

3. Louis Philippe, Duc d'Orleans, born October 6, 1773, who married Maria Amelia, daughter of the King of Sicily, by whom he has male issue

4. Ferdinand, Duc de Chartres, born Sept. 3, 1810.

5. Louis Charles, Duc de Nemoens, born Oct. 25, 1814.

6. Francis Ferdinand, Duc de Joinville, born August 14, 1818.

7. Charles Ferdinand, Duc de Penthievre, born January 1, 1820; and

8. Henry Eugene, Duc de Aumale, born June 16, 1822.

Of that illustrious branch of the Bour.

bons, the House of Conde, there is but one individual remaining, Louis Henry Joseph, Duc de Bourbon, born April 13, 1756, who is the ninth in the succession to the French Crown.

On Wednesday, 23d, the remains of Louis XVIII. were removed in great funeral pomp from Paris to St Denis. The coffin was deposited in the Chapel of St Louis, where it will remain for some time before it is interred. The throng was immense in the streets leading from the Tuileries towards St. Denis, but though the gens d'armes were not employed as usual, order and decency prevailed. On the Monday following, the new King made his public entry into Paris. He was attended by a grand cortege and vast concourse from the barrier, where he had the keys of the city presented to him, with an address from the Municipality, to the cathedral of Notre Dame, where he was addressed with a profusion of pious incense, by the Archbishop of Paris and his clergy, and thence to the Tuileries. He received upwards of 400 petitions on his way, and being on horseback, conversed familiarly with several of the petitioners.

The death of Louis has caused no alteration in the French ministry, and Charles has declared his intention to change nothing of what was established by his predecessor. The first act of his government, namely, a decree abolishing the censorship of the press, has given the highest satisfaction throughout the country, and the people augur from this liberality on the part of the sovereign, a long continuance of prosperity and peace.

SPAIN. Before the late desperate attempts made by the Constitutionalists upon the Spanish coast, Ferdinand was so fully sensible of the little popularity which he had acquired, and of the total impossibility of maintaining himself without foreign aid, that he applied for a prolongation of the residence of the French troops in Spain. The request was of course granted, and the Marquis of Talaru and Count d'Ofalia having been appointed Plenipotentiaries by both Governments to discuss and fix the terms and period of this new occupation, it was settled that it should extend to the 1st of January 1825; that the number of troops should remain the same as before, 45,000 men, and that, besides the places formerly holden by the French, they should garrison the cities of Saragossa and Cordova. The consideration which Ferdinand pays, or undertakes to pay, for their assistance, is 2,000,000 francs per month. The Convention to this effect was signed on the 30th of June, and the ground on which the delay is demanded and conceded is stated in the preamble to be, " because his Catholic Majesty conceived that, in order to have time to complete the organization of his army, a prolongation of the residence of the French troops would be useful."-There is no doubt, after what has lately happened, that this application will not be the last.

The miserable state of Spain seems to be greatly aggravated, by the late abortive attempt at its liberation. The fury of the party whom the French maintain in power, has been raised to a pitch hitherto unparalleled, and seems verging on a system of open massacre, similar to that lately carried on by the Turks against the Greeks. A mandate, issued by the Minister of Police, appears abso lutely to authorise such a course, since they look more like orders for a general massacre than instructions to officers of the civil power for a strict performance of their duty. "Henceforth," says he, "let every one tremble, who, in serving my orders, does not act according to my proper spirit. Religion and the King! these are the august and truly sacred objects, whose defence, stability, and glory, are entrusted to the Police: treason and crime are the horrible monsters, whose absolute extermination is our principal duty. To aid and to protect, with all our force, the loyal defenders of the Sovereign; to seek his enemies every where; to follow them wherever they endeavour to hide themselves; to introduce ourselves into their most secret caverns, and persecute them to their total

extermination; these are the means of arriving at the desired end. Unhappy he, who, from this day henceforward, separates himself from this path a single step, a single line! The stroke of a thunderbolt from a dark cloud is not more speedy than the castigation which will overtake him!" This system is not yet downrightly acted upon; but still executions, sometimes with and sometimes without the forms of law, are multiplied in every quarter of Spain. The national militia, once supposed the bulwark of the monarchy, are disbanded, and obliged to deliver up their arms; and their place is attempted to be supplied by a body called the Royalist Volunteers, composed of the most furious zealots of the faction; but even these are not presenting themselves in great numbers.

RUSSIA. The Emperor of Russia has, by an Imperial ukase, ordered a levy of two men out of every 500 persons in his dominions, which, taking the whole population at fifty millions, will produce 200,000 recruits. The manifesto issued on the occasion says, that this force is intended to replace the vacancies occasioned in his armies and fleets by the "ordinary diminutions," and the retirement of the soldiers who had completed their time of service.

GREECE. We have of late received various and contradictory accounts from this quarter, from which it is difficult to collect the real state of affairs. It ap. pears, however, to be established beyond doubt, that, in the beginning of August, the Greeks had encountered the Turkish squadron, under the command of the Captain Pacha, whom they had entirely defeated, destroying one ship of the line, one frigate, several corvettes, and a number of smaller vessels. The Egyptian expedition against Greece sailed from Alexandria on the 3d August; and the Greeks were fitting out a squadron of 100 vessels, for the purpose of attacking it.

ASIA.

EAST INDIES. The latest advices from Bombay are to the 21st of June, which bring some interesting accounts of the progress of the war against the Birmese. It appears they have been compelled to evacuate Assum, their recent conquest. On the 8th March, the British troops entered Gowhatty, the capital, and seem to have been generally received as deliverers. The enemy had, during the preceding night, evacuated the whole of their stockades in and adjoining to Gowhatty, and retired, as was reported, to Roosah, to join a considerable body of
