FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

EUROPE. FRANCE. The law regarding the liberty of the press in this country has passed the Chamber of Peers. The amount of the securities to be required by this law from the publishers of periodical papers was the great subject of debate; and it was finally agreed, that, for every daily journal published at Paris, or in the department of Seine and Oise, and Seine and Marne, 10,000 francs of rent should be required as a security, and lesser sums from the provincial papers. A motion for the recal of the exiles banished in 1815 gave occasion for a very animated debate in the Chamber of Deputies on Monday 17th May. The subject was finally dismissed, on the ground that the Chamber was not by the Constitution authorized to entertain it. The original number banished by the ordinance of the 24th July 1815 was 38; of these 12 have been allowed to return, viz. General Allix, General Excelmans, Marbot, General Lamarque, General Lo bau, Regnault de Saint Jean d'Angely, (since dead,) General Dejean, jun. Garrau, Bouvier Dumoulard, Defermont, Courtin, and Le Lorgue Dideville. Notwithstanding this decision, the signing of petitions in favour of the recall of the exiles, it appears, is still canvassed; and in one of the recent Paris papers it is stated that the King in Council had authorized the return of Marshal Soult and several other officers of note, all included in the proscribing ordonances which were passed after the royal authority was re-established.

The trial of Marinet and Cantillon, accused of a conspiracy against the life of the Duke of Wellington, after a continuation of six days, has terminated in their acquittal. The Attorney-General conducted the prosecution, and Messrs Claveau and Dupin the defence. The latter contended that the corpus delicti had not been at all established; that is to say, that no trace of the ball alleged to have been shot at the Duke had been discovered, although the prosecutors had examined the walls of the hotel, stone by stone, and all the trees round about, branch by branch. The jury were about an hour in deliberation, and agreed unanimously in the verdict. Immediately on its being announced, the audience testified their satisfaction by loud and continued plaudits.

ITALY. The marriage of her Royal Highness Louisa-Charlotte of Naples, granddaughter of the Duke of Calabria, with the

Infant of Spain, Don Francis de Paulo, brother of King Ferdinand VII. was cele brated at Naples on the 15th of April.

On the 17th and 18th of April, a rious eruption of Mount Vesuvius was: dreaded. Happily, however, the porten tous signs of this calamity ended in a sim ple torrent of flame.

GERMANY.-An article from Vienna, after again contradicting the report of an attempt to poison the Emperor of Austria, and other unfounded rumours, which have been already mentioned, asserts that these: stories are the result of a system of fabri cation, which is not only very actively car ried on at Paris, but which extends to London, where, it is added, the Police of Vienna have discovered the secret cypher of those persons, who, by means of the English journals, correspond with Bonas parte, and that thus an advertisement res lating, in appearance, to ordinary family. affairs, being read by means of this secret cypher, presents a political meaning very remarkable.

A violent hurricane was experienced at Temeswar on the 4th and 5th April, by which many persons were blown off the road into the canal. On the 8th, three. shocks of earthquakes were felt

NORWAY. A fire broke out in the tim ber-yards of the principal merchants at Christiana, in Norway, on the 4th Mays" and burnt property to the amount of L. 30,000. The fire lasted for four days, and, but for calm weather during the time, the whole of the town must have been de stroyed. The fire having broke out in four different places at the same time, it is doubtless the work of incendiaries.

ASIA.

CALCUTTA A gentleman arrived at Charleston from Calcutta states, that, in the late sickly season, there were not less than 220,000 persons who died of the cholera morbus in the provinces immediately dependent on Bengal.

ISLE OF FRANCE.-Letters from Port. Louis, Isle of France, of the 30th January, state, that a hurricane took place on that island on the 25th of that month. It was less severe both in strength and duration than the hurricane of the preceding year, but has, nevertheless, occasioned great de vastation. The crops of Indian corn have particularly suffered, and the effect was likely to be felt more severely, as the stork of provisions on hand is extremely limited.
