The Foreign intelligence of the week deserves little attention. It
consists chiefly of uninteresting rumours. In France, the pre- valent notion that the Government is tottering gives rise to many reports of changes in the Ministry. Among the latest, is one that THIERS and GUIZOT have patched up a reconciliation, and that the former is about to rejoin his old colleagues. The King is like a prisoner in his palace. The fear of assassination renders it a matter of rejoicing when lie goes abroad for an hour and re- turns in safety. There is an impression that the Royal Guard, which was disbanded at the time of the July Revolution, is to be reorganized for his protection. General DAMREMONT is to suc- ceed CLAUSE!. in the African command ; and it is said that the French Government has resolved to confine its possessions within as small limits as possible. Negotiations have been commenced With ABDEL KADER.
