We have received, this forenoon, the Paris Papers of Sunday, which being Easter Sunday, uo Journals were to be published on Monday; and also Papers, direct from Madrid, to the 12th of ApriL From both of these we subjoin extracts. A belief is entertained that the Congress at Lay bach will continue its' Sittings until the summer months. The news which was circulated within these few days, that the Russian army had been halted on its • march to Italy, is not confirmed; the first column of, Russians, on the contrary, according to the present statements, was to enter Hungary above a week ago. The disturbances at Barcelona are said to have been terminated by the exile of the Bishop and other individuals, whose Raines will be found below. It is remarkable that a large proportion of these suspected persons are foreigners. SAARSIFIELD is of Irish, CADY- , DELL of Scotch, and FounNAs of French extraction. The Public Functionaries of Zamora are promoting a subscription for erecting monuments to PADILLA, and some other eminent Spaniards, whose patriotic acllievements and sufferings on the scaffold in the 16th century, are recorded by Roaxxxson. An article from Naples, purporting to be an ex tract 6f a private letter, states, that the KING was ex pected shortly ax Naples, and that his first act would be to create Constitutional Estates of Lords and Commons. A Proclamation of the Duke de Ganavors declares all Piedmontese Officers, who have served the Con stitutional Government, to be "Pons," and offers a pecuniary reward for their apprehension. This DEcree is issued on the 3d of April, from Modena, his Royal Highness being still in the hands of the Austrians. French Five per Cents.

It is generally believed here that the energetic measures which have been adopted against the at tempts of the Revolutionists in the kingdom of Naples, have been sufficient to re-establi h affairs on the an cient footing, and to form a complete security against new troubles. It appears, however, that the Allied Cabinets, being convinced that they ought not to relax their efforts, are desirous of preventing•similar offences. It is believed that the Congress will be continued till summer, and that the consolidation of the order and repose of Europe in general, is the cause of this prolongation of the Meeting. It is pos sible that the affairs of Spain will not be foreign to the Assembly. We have observed Spanish Couriers arrive at Lay back with dispatches, and depart again with the answers to Madrid ; but there is no fixed opinion as to the object of these different communi cations.—By the 16th of this month, 14 Regiments Will be put into active service on the war footing : this will make a new military force of 50,000 men , the precise destination of which is not yet known.— The first column of Russian troops, 35,000 strong, will enter Hungary in the course of the present week. Some disturbances in Moravia, if not quite termi nated, are at least so far settled, that no further con sequences than the punishment of the guilty are to be expected. In consequence of what passed, it was found necessary to send forward strong patrols against the rioters, who had assembled in bodies of a hundred each. On this occasion O'Reilly's Regiment of light horse, though partly composed of recruits, behaved remarkably well. The day before yesterday the Aulic Councillor, Megern, set out in the character of Im perial Commissioner to inquire into the transactions which have occurred. The offences are to be tried on the spot, and punished with all the rigour of the laws. MADRID, APRIL 13. The disturbances at Barcelona were quieted by send ing some persons off. It is singular that almost all the obnoxious persons were of foreign origin : Gene rals Saarsfield and Campbell, though in the service of Spain, are of English descent. General Blaise de Yournas is a Frenchman. He has received permission to return to France, and the others go to the Isle of , ' Majorca, along with the Bishop of Barcelona. The Grand Vicar of the diocess will be allowed to remain. Except this exiling of several individuals, no violence has been committed. The town of Zamora is erecting a monument in honour of three celebrated Spaniards, viz. Juan de Padilla, Francisco Maldonado, and Juan Bravo, who, alter sustaining the popular cause in the Cortes of 1520, headed the insurrection of the Comunidades,—. On the 23d of April, 1521, they were defeated and made prisoners at Villabar, and next day their heads' rolled on a scaffold erected by the Ministers of Charles V. The Magistrates of Zamora have issued a Proclamation, inviting their fellow citizens to assist at the funeral honours about to be paid to these illus. l trious victims of liberty in all the churchesof Zamora, while a monument, worthy of their memory, is to be raised by public gratitude and admiration. • ODESSA, MARCH so. The Ottoman Porte seems determined on display ing the greatest energy against the insurrection in Wallachia and Moldavia. The standard, and the most revered insignia of the Mussulmen, have been taken down from the mosque of St. Sophia. Such a mea sure is never taken but when the safety of the Em pire and the existence of the Mahomedan religion are menaced. It is said that the Arch-priest Gasis, an old man, and celebrated for having written some useful works, is at the head of the Thessalian Greeks. The wives and children of the Greeks who have taken up arms have taken refuge in Magnesia, a city of Thessaly. NAPLES, APRIL 7. Much regret prevails here in consequence of the' ; delay of the King in returning to his capital. There is no end to the conjectures respecting the departure of the Prince of Salerno for Laybach. The persua sion is general, that on his arrival, the first object of the King will be to give a Representative Constitution to his people. This much is already regarded as cer tain, that the fundamental principles of the new sys tem which the King intends to establish in his states are—a Parliament in two Chamber's; the imposts to ' be voted by the Parliament; the equality of all citi zens in the eye of the law ; the admissibility of all to all employments; security against the removal of citizens from their natural Judges, &c. On this sub ject his Majesty has given the most flattering and the most positive assurances to the different Deputations that have repaired to him. Some Austrian troops have marched for Salerno and ,Avellino. The diiposition of Sicily appears to be uncertain ; but we rely much on the return of the King for the smoothing of all difficulties. TURIN, APRIL 16. A Decree, by Charles Felix, Duke de Genevois, dated Modena, April 3, has been promulgated here, for the purpose, as stated in the Preamble, to leave to no person the pretext of ignorance of our will, and the manner in which we view the rebellion which** taken place in Piedmont and in the Duchy of Genoa, and to contradict the false interpretations which have been given, and hitherto have prevailed, of oar inten tions."—This Decree contains seven Articles, in sub stance as follow : * 1. Are declared rebels all Piedmontese subjects who dare to' revolt against King Victor Emmanuel, or attempt to change the form of Government since his abdication ; also those who, in defiance of the Proclamation issued by the Duke de Genevois, on the 16th of March, 1821, shall persist in adhering to the re volutionary cause. " 2. Clemency is offered to such soldiers (privates) who, having been misled, shall immediately return to their duty ; but Officers of all ranks, who have deserted to the standard of re volt, are declared felons, and pecuniary rewards are promised for their apprehension. " 3. The sous-officers and privates of the rebel army of Ales sandria, and in the city of Turin, are ordered instantly to return to their homes. " 4. The Dyke declare; that on taking upon himself the weight of the Royal authority, he shall consider it a primary duty to separate the rebellious few from the great portion of those loyally attached to their legitimate Monarch, as the only measure of ensuring to the latter that happiness and tranquillity which they can never enjoy in fellowship with the seditiously inclined. " 5. To accomplish views so necessary to the welfare of loyal subjects, and disdaining any treaty whatever with felons, it is deemed necessary that that part of the royal army which has re mained faithful shall be aided by the august Allies of the King, in obtaining re-occupation of the revolted districts. The Aus. Irian forces, whose sole objects are the repression of sedition and, the re-establishment of legitimate authority, are by every good citizen to be welcomed as friends. " 6. AU good subjects are assured. that every care will be taken that the inevitable burdens which the necessary measures will entail shall be rendered as sufferable as possible. " 7. The Duke declares, that submission to the Royal Autho rity, on the part of the Piedmontese Nation, is the only way by which they can induce him to return among them." MADRID, APRIL 9. We have received accounts from Barcelona, of which the following appear to be the most authentic : Considerable commotions having appeared among the people, a Junta assembled, composed of all the Authorities and Commissioners from all the Corpo rations, who resolved to transport to Majorca the following individuals:—The Bishop of Barcelona; Abella, Vicar-General; Llozer, Er-inquisitor; the Guardian of St. Francisco ; Generals Eroles, Saarsfield, and Tournas ; Brigadiers Andriani and Campbell ; Estrauch, commanding the regiment of Barbastro, and brother to the Bishop of N'ich ; Bustibumba, and March. The Captain-General ordered, and the Junta sanctioned it, that they should be embarked for Mahon. The people also desired that the front of the citadel which looks towards Barcelona should be demolished, but this was not acceded to. The Captain-General requested that the Bishops of Vich, Tortosa, Leriday and Urgel ; and the Arch bishop elect of Tarragona, should be embarked, but nothing was decided. MADRID, APRIL By letters from Tangier of 29th March, it was known at Ceuta, that thelmperor of Morocco, Muly Soliman, was encamped at the distance of two leagues and a half from Tangier, covering one of the passes by which the rebels of Tetuan might escape. The weather had prevented anything further being done, but preparations were made to act as soon as the weather would allow of it. Meantime his Majesty had received, by express, the agreeable news that the people of Fez had entirely repented of the conduct they had observed, and that they acknowledged none but his Majesty. For this reason ; salutes of artillery were fired at Tangier, and expresses sent to Tetuan to intimidate the rebel usurpers, who were in want even of provisions. The soldiers who !nought these accounts to Ceuta, II confirmed them verbally as to the present situation of i Sojiman, who is at El Garbia ; adding, that as he was returning yesterday to the camp, some Moors of the' party of Zied met him, who attempted to kill him, thinking he was of the uncle's party ; but they con tented themselves with disarming him, and making him declare that he was for the nephew, who, as they informed him, left Tetuan, with 1200 horse, for the mountains on the left, but that his route and designs were not known. The Cortes have been chiefly occupied with the debate on . the Law for the Regulation of Patriotic Societies, which was passed. On the 10th a Project of Law was read for abridg ing proceedings in the Courts of Justice, which is judged to be absolutely necessary for preventing or punishing the crimes of the ill-disposed who attempt to subvert the Constitution. Considering the urgent necessity of the case, it was proposed by M. Marti na de la Rosa that the law should be read a third time uithin four days; that a day should be fixed for the debate; meantime it might be printed and dis tributed, and when the discussion was once began, it ought to be continued without interruption till it was concluded. The point being judged sufficiently dis cussed, this was declared to be the second reading. The third reading was fixed for Saturday, the 12th of April. BRIGHTON, APRIL 21.. The Princess AUGUSTA, accompanied by Lady MARY TAYLOR, arrived at the Pavilion at half-past five o'clock yesterday afternoon : her Royal Highness was received by Sir B. BLOOMFIELD and Lord Sr. HELENS in the vestibule of the Grand Hall. .To meet the accomplished and beloved Sister of our SOVEREIGN. the following personages, by invita tion, bad the honour of being entertained at the Palace last night, viz.

Thyme, Lord Granville Somerset, Lord Sandals, Mr. Labon cher, Miss Lake, Miss Lowther, Captain and Mrs. Clifford, and Lord John and the lion. Aliso Townshend. Music constituted the leading feature of the amuse ments. The KING and her Royal Highness were in charming health and spirits, and as cheerful as bril liant was the scene presented. _ _ His MAJESTY'S tradesfolks last night illuminated their houses, in honour of the Birth-day, and the streets were pretty well filled with gratified and rejoicing spectators till midnight. The PRINCESS, attended by Lady MA RY TAYLOR, took a carriage airing this afternoon, from two to four o'clock. His MAJESTY has limited his exercise to walks on the Palace lawn. Yesterday, the Duke and Duchess of CLARIINC; and Prince LzoroLD, dined with the Duke and Du cheu of GLOUCESTER. Yesterday, Prince RATAFE, recently arrived in this country from Ma.lagascar, paid a visit to the King's Palace, in Pall-Mall, to view the residence of the KING, where he was accompanied by his Secretary and Interpreter, and attended by a Gentleman from the Colonial DepartMent : he was received at the Palace by the Equerry in Waiting, and conducted over the apartments, and through the stables; he seemed highly delighted with everything he saw, and ex pressed his admiration of all that he had seen in this country. This Prince, with his suite, went in the evening to see the Play at Covent-Garden Theatre, and sat in the KING'S private box. The Right lion. the Earl of Maar, his Majesty's Lord Lieutenant, has, by commission, dated the 21st, instant, appointed Sir ROBERT STEELE, Knt. and K.C.S. to be Deputy-Lieutenant of the County ofl Dorset, and Town and County of the Town of Poole.

DEATH OF TitE EARL OF CA RHAMPTON.—This venerable Nobleman died yesterday, in the 78th year of his age. His Lordship was distinguished in early life as Colonel Lux-rata.. He also fought some poli• tical battles, and was the opponent of the celebrated Mr.Thates, in the memorable contest for the Cooly of Middlesex, when the latter was expelled the Howe of Commons•by a vote of the House. He was bn> ther to the beautiful Miss LUTTRF.LL, the late Dachas of CUMBERLAND. His Lordship succeeded to his titles on the death of his father, in 1787. He has left no issue, and is therefore succeeded by his brother. —Creations of the first Nobleman, the father of the deceased :—Baron, 1768; Viscount, 1781; Earl, 1785. The late Earl was Colonel of the Gth Dragoon Guards He stood third on the list of Generals—those pre ceding'_him being the Marquis of DROGHEDA and Earl HARCOURT. IMPERIAL Coatostyr.—The following little scene, says a Canada Paper, may be amusing to our readers: it reminds us somewhat of the ordeal through which Gulliver is described as having passed in the presence of their Majesties of Brobdignag or Lillipur; There can be no doubt as to the authenticity of the nor* tive, which was drawn up by Serjeant CAMPBELL, at the request of an Officer of his Regiment : " In the month of August, 1815, 1 - was ordered to proceed with private JOHN FRASER, and piper Kew- NETH MACQUAY, to the Palais d'Elisee, in Paris, thee the residence of the Emperor of Russia, when we were joined by serjeant Maconsooft, private Mune, and piper MACKENZIE, of the 4'2d Regiment; ser jeant GRANT, piper Looau, and piper CAMERON, of the 92d Regiment. Abput half an hour after our ar• rival at the Palace, Lord CATHCART sent a valet to conduct us to the grand hall, where we met his Lordship, whom I immediately recognized. He was pleased to order me to take charge of the partri while he went to the EMPEROR to acquaint him of our arrival, and in about ten minutes after the Ev• PEROR entered the hall, accompanied by his two brothers, Prince BLUCHER, Count PLAzoFr, and se veral other distinguished personages. The EMPEROE had a very minute inspection of us, and his curiosar led him to point upon me (as being the most robug of those who accompanied me) to step to the front. was surrounded by the astonished Nobility, and the EMPEROR commenced his inspection and questions,w -" 1. E.xamined my appointments, drew my sword, if I could perform any exercise of that weapon, which' Iff l him I could not ; and, at the same time, Lord Cathcart radi remark, that it was a deficiency in the British Army OW' m never took into consideration before. " 2. ExaMined my hose, garters, legs, and pinched lef 4 t thinking I wore something under my kilt, and bad the dew" of lifting my kilt up, so that be might not be deceived: De 4 11 dons were—How long I was in the Army I—How tray K ' dons I was in 7—lf I was present at the actions of the 16thl and 18th ?—How many Officers and men the Regiment 10 , 1 „re the 16th, 17th, and 18th of June?—Whether I was in Ealle • If we wore the kilt in winter, or if I did not feel cold in a° season -If .I eiiis married?— If my parents were alive? itc " The Emperor then ordered Lord Cathcart to make aw John Praser through the manual and platoon exercise, at egh" performance he was highly pleased. He then ordered the to play up,'and Lord Cathcart desired them to play the !I A land tune called Cogno-sta4hi, War or Peace, which he aTI to the Emperor, who seemed highly delighted with the or!' After the Emperor had done with me, the veteran, Count rw toff, came up to me, took me by the band, sad told me, io broke English, that I was a goodand brave soldier, as all my cower(' men were. He then pressed my hand to his breast, and P" me his to press to mine. After all was over. I was order ed w ; take the party to Lord Cathcart's quarters, wbere we had a freshment, and received a piece of money each fr om his Lem ship, and Also his approbation for our appearance, Ice. " T.
