FOREIGJV‘. N aw-Yonx, Nov. 30.

We have received Paris journals of the 18th Oct, and Havre of the 20th, contain- ing Paris dates of 19th, the speech of the King of Holland at the opening of the States General of that Kingdom, throw lit- tle or no light on the subject of the threat- ened hostilities of England and France, or of the probability of an intervention of the other powers. There is, however, an ar- ticle from Antwerp, which, iftrue, would place beyond a doubt the intention of the King of Prussia to make common cause with Holland—will, in judging of the cre- dit to which it is entitled, it must be kept in view, that there is a strong Dutch party in Antwerp, and that some of the newspapers (perhaps the one with which the article to which we allude, originated,) are openly devoted to the cause of that country. From Paris on the 19th, the fol- lowing is written on this subject :

“ The President of the ('ouncil had yes- terday alarge assemblage of persons in his apartments. The speech of the King of Holland was the general subject of con- versation. This speech certainly leaves not the least ground to suppose that the King of Holland will carry his condescen- sion any further. Marshal Soult said aloud to every person that was presented to him, that the intervention of the army by land was determined upon, and that nothing now could prevent it ; be repeated again the language which he had used for some time past, that at the opening of the Ses- sion he would deposit in the bureau of the Chamber ofDeputics, the keys of the Cit- adel ot'Antwerp; and in truth in the North every thing assumes a warlike aspect, and there the intervention of the French army is pasitively expected ; however, the com- munications from London nor those from the Northern Courts are as explicit as those ofthe President of the Council.”

Some disturbances had occurred at Nan- tes in consequence of the arrival there of an unpopular prefect Many charges had been made on the assembled crowds and the ferment still continued at the last dates from that place. It is not probable that they will result in any thing serious.

The trial of M. Berryer, the Carlist Advocate, had commenced, and produced some singular disclosures, which we shall give to-morrow.

BnussaLs, Oct <17.—The Prussian Con- sul at Antwerp has received advices from his government that the Prussian troops were immediately about to march for the frontiers of Belgium, for the purpose of protecting the commerce of the north a— gainst the hostilities which may take place relative to the Scheldt and the citadel of Antwerp, the cabinet of Berlin not being willing to abamdon to the neighboring pow-

ers alone, the'right of interfering in these

questions. The Consul has communicated this information to his colleagues. Sir Ro- bert Adair and M. de Latour Mauhourg, have received a communication to this ef- fect this morning.

The packet ship Carroll of Carrolton, at Philadelphia, brings Liverpool papers of the 21st, and Landon of the 20th ult.

The British Parliament stands prorogued to the 11th of December, but the Morning Herald expresses a belief that it will he re-assembled to deliberate on the affairs ot Belgium and Holland, which have now cer- tainly come to a crisis. The Liverpool Journal of the 20th says : “Things on the continent are drawing to a Miss, which must eventuate in an European war, or a permanent peace.”

The London Herald of the 20th says;— VVe continue without any further amounts from Oporto that may be relied upon ; it has, however, been reported at Lloyd‘s, that the Miguelite army had retreated from before Oporto, in order to go into winter quarters. The Miguelite squadron entered Vigo Bay on the 99th of September. Sar- torious entered the 3d ofOctober, and was blockading them at both mouths ofthe bay. The private accounts from Madrid say that Ferdinand is better, and that he has suc- ceeded in getting rid of obnoxious Minis- ters, and has determined upon assembling the Cortes, to sanction his daughter’s suc- cession to the throne of Spain.

The Brighton Gazette states that the Duchess of Berri lately passed through the town of Dieppe, on her way to Bologne, where she subsequently embarked, and is now in Holland.

From Ireland, there is nothing but ac- counts of violence.

The Plymouth Journal ofthe latest date, contains the following paragraph ;——“ En- thUsiasm in the cause ot constitutional freedom in Portugal seems to be prevalent throughout the country. Several recruits for the service of Don Pedro have volun- tarily proffered their services in these towns, and having been accepted, they have sailed for Oporto.”

There is no news of importance from Portugal. Don Miguel’s squauron was at Vigo [Spain] where it was laid under a quarantine ot'eight (lays. Upon entering the port, the Admiral’s vessel fired a salute of I7 guns, which was not returned by the fort,

Admiral preferred the former, and during the night put to sea, but came in contact with the fleet of Don Pedro under Admiral Sartorious which lay off the port. An ac- tion ensued which resulted in a complete victory by Sartorisz, and both squadrons were seen steering for Oporto in campany. The report was generally credited in Ca. diz, and received with apparent pleasure by the inhabitants.

“me 7 BRITISPI AMERICAN, DECEMBER 29, 1832.

In our preceding columns will be found London dates via New-York, up to the 22nd October, three days later than our last number contained. The fleet of Don Pedro, commanded by Admiral Sartorious, came in contact with Don Miguel’s fleet oti Vigo ; an action ensued which resulted in acomplete victory by the former. Don Miguel’s squadron is as follows :—

Veritas’ second letter on the “ Fourt Estate,” we have mislaid—therefore, ca not give it publicity this week.

A late file of Jamaica papers announc that the Legislature of that Island isin Se. sion. “Lord Mulgrave, like Lord A} mer,” says the Novascotian, “ appears have got into hot water—a war of words' raging between him and the Assembl His Lordship opened the Session with showy oration of two columns in length full of professions and conciliation ; whi was answered by an equal amount of m ter, but breathing something of a differ spirit. The grievances under which Island labours were profusely detail and even the highesthopes which the vernor of course thought he had inspi were made to wear the aspect ot'iusin tions. In answer to this manifesto, inste of the short paragraph of half-a doz lines, which we usually have on such 00_ sions ; his Lordship preached apolitl sermon, that would cover half a dozen. ges of foolscap—rating the Tribunes at people right roundly. It is a ‘ very pre quarrel,’ and we suppose the house follow the example set them in (Jana and vote that they are not to be scbo ed.”
