FRENCH PAPERS. ARMY OF THE PYRENNEES. REPORT Of TWR MAJOR-GENERAL OF THE ARMY 07 THE PYRENNERS TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. ig Madrid, July 11. • As I have had the honour to inform your Excellency, the proposals of General Morino have not suspended for a moment our march to Garnets. Lieutenant-General Count Bourek re ports to his Royal Highness, under date of the 7th, that he arrived at Villa Franca del Visezo, without having met with an enemy, and that General Morißo, who had called all his forces to him, has sent to hint one tif his Aides-de-Camp, requesting him to t a ke various measures for the security of persons and pro perty ;in retool for which he p r om ites to co-operate in the de liverance of the King, and to act in sateen with him to re-esta blish order in the country, and to make the troops which have joined Quiroga return to their duty. These proposals of Gene ral Morillo have been accede and p r ece ding now only to re cognise the Regency of Spain, th e steps necessarily leading to this conclusion, there is every reason to believe that General Beurck, on arriving yesterday. at Lugo, where all his troops were to join, has received the entire adherence of Genesi rat Morino.

REPORT OF THE. DUKE 07 CORNEGLIANO TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. " Serie, July 11. " Cardona is in the power of the Royal combined armies, and the standard of King Ferdinaed is hoisted on the ramparts of that place. I am not yet informed of all the details of this event. I only know that on the 9th, the Commander of the battalion of Provincial Militia of Signenaa,Benor Bassi ,Galouguy, in con cert with the troops of the.garrison, recognized the authority of the King, and that the Governor, who resisted this noble im pulse, left the place with thirty-five o ffi cers, and proceeded to. wards Ygualada. A French battalion of the second of the line, of the 10th division, marched, on information of this event, from Mantua to Cardona, and took possession of that fortress amidst cries of ' Long live the King of France!' Long live the King of Spain !' Lieutenant-General Count Donnadieu has informed me of this event. Yesterday, the 10th, the enemy made a salty from Barcelona, with about 4,000 men, supported by four pieces of cannon. 'This force marched first towards Saria, where it bad an engagemeqt for about two hours with our sharp-shooters. Afterwards it Advanced towards Garcia, where it was vigor ously repulsed by a battalion of the 7th of the line and a platoon of cavalry, which several times charged the enemy in the plain. The field-pieces which supported the sally, fired, as well as the cannon of the fortress. lire enemy had four killed and several wounded. We took five pzisoners. We had one man killed and another wounded. " The Marshal Duke of Cornegliano, MONCEY." FROM THE NUN-OFFICIAL PART. • EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER, DATED BEFORE CADIZ, JULY 6. " The French squadron which blockades Cadiz de tained yesterday 20 boats loaded with provisions, which were attempting to enter the port. This morn ing the boats of the squadron seized, in spite of the fire of the batteries, several boats with provisions. tveie passing under the Light-house of Cadiz. " The greater part of the Spanish artillery is in our posse s sion. We have procured a list of all that is in the arsenals of Cadiz. Most of the carriages are worm-eaten, and declared by the Committee to be • unable to bear the guns being twice fired. The stock of powder is inconsideratle, and the number of car tridges ready made is at the most a hundred." The Pore has met with a serious accident. On the' evening of the Gth he fell, in rising from his chair; and fractured the neck of the femoral bone. Ile was alone at the time, but his cries brought his attendants, and he was removed to bed. The surgeons had not informed him of the fracture. Oa the evening, of the 7th he was seized with a fever, and on the following day it was reported in Rome that his Holiness was in great danger.

(BY AN EXPRESs4 " Letters from Cadiz say, that the Communeros had separated themselves from the Masons. The Decree of the 23d has much increased the pride and exulta tion of the Revolutionists. " A letter from Valencia states, that Ballasteros' soldiers arrived there daily in troops of 100 and 150; when they presented themselves to the Royalist Gene ral Sempere to be admitted under the Royal standard. " We have news from Cadiz to the 6th. The King and the Royal Family were then in good health. •' It was thought that Cadiz would not hold out • longer than the month of July. Provisions were ex cessively dear; there was no commerce, and the peo.l pie began to murmur. " Our long boats have stopped some boats laden I with previsions, which passed towards the light-house' et Cadiz in spite of the fire of our batteries. " A letter from Grenada announces that General; Ballasteros, Campa, Zayas, Montes, Balanzat; Placentia, atc. were then in that -city, with the rem nants of several regiments, where they exhausted their utmost efforts in endeavours to organise an at my. " General Ballasteros appeared willing to traverse the Sierra de Ronda to gain Algesiras, to unite them with the remnant of Zayas and Villa•Campa. Bal taste:l)s had about 2.000, Zayas 1,200, and Villa- C,ampa 300 men. Another Revolutionary General had about 500 men encamped at San Roque. A single French regiment could disperse those rem-, nants, and become master of the whole coast from Gibraltar to Sancti Petri. " According to a letter from Lucena, dated the sth, Villa-Campa, with his army of 300 men, and Zayas with SOO men and 200 horses, came on the Sd to Antequerra, and had taken the direction of Lucena; but the inhabitants having taken up arms, were bold enough to pursue them. On the day following, 500, Royalist militia and 100 cavalry came from Cor dova and entered Lucena, under the command of a French Officer, to the great joy of the inhabitants. " There are at Cordova. 1,000 Constitutional de• serters. " General Bourmont, who occupies Seville, is en gaged in the organization of several Spani sh regi ments: there are two in a state of peep :ration—one of cavalry, and another of artillery. 0 A flotilla, composed of a great number of light boats, is now ready to set sail to join the squadron, which has already received the assistance of the Tri- dent, a 74, of the Guerriere, a smaller ship) of the cor vette, la Bayadere, and of the Z ebre, an advice boat. The Antigone and the Zebre, with some small craft, are cruising opposite Sancti-Petri. A part of the squadron is at anchor befbre Ilota the remainder is under sail st the entrance of the Bay. 44 P.S. We have this moment learned, that Gene ral Morillo, at the head of 3000 men,-has joined the French division under General Bourck. 41 This is but a small number of the Exaltados who join with Quiroga : they are about to take refuge in Corunna or in Ferrol, but his-not known whether they will be received there or not. " Some Journals incessantly repeat that no Con-1 stitutional General has detached himself from the Constitutional faction, although d'Abisbal, Castanos, Palafox, and probably at this moment Sars6eld, and lastly the most renowned among them, Morillo, have submitted to 'the King. The reasons are besides known why General Zayas is prevented from follow. ing their example." Yesterday the Regency received, with the accus tomed qerernonial, General de Royer, the Minister Plenipotentiary for his Majesty the King of Prussia. Two of the Constitutional guerilla corps, belong ing to Quiros and Abril, in order to escape from the pursuit of Merino, had intended to violasethe Portu guese territory. Don Juan de Silveira, Governor- General of the .province of Beira, informed of the route taken by these rebels, went immediately in pur suit of them. He overtook them on the 25th June,' and totally destroyed them, though this intrepid Por tuguese had only an escort of cavalry with him. The arms carried by the banditti were deposited with the advanced-guard of Merino, to be given to Royalist volunteers, who presented themselves in crowds. It is acknowledged by the Cadiz Observer of the 27th of June, that there is in that city a very large party in hostility to the Constitution of the Corms, and who, by their numbers, strike with dismay the most intrepid defenders of the Revolution. It is proposed by this Journal, that all the enemies to libe ralism should be silenced en nrasse, and also those persons who betrayed their apprehensions or fears, such feelings being contagious; and, therefore, this Tourtial is seriously bent to prohibit all fear.

Fifty ships, which were endeavouring to in troduce grain, have been taken or diverted, and our marine his made prisoners a Colonel and twelve Offi cers of Artillery, who were proceeding from Cadiz to Ceuta, for the defence of that place ; it has also , liberated 150 prisoners of the Spanish Roy, alistArmy, who had been condemned to the galleys. The inhabitants of the mountains of Ronda having announced to General Bourdesoulle that the town of Ronda would be occupied by a battalion of Revolu tionary infantry, under the orders of Colonel Bernard Aseujo, which appeared well disposed, a flag of truce was sent to him, and immediately the officers and soldiers declared for the King. The inhabitants of Andalusia continue to give proofs of the excellent spirit which animates them; they stop frequently the emissaries of the enemy, and the latter cannot succeed in organizing a single corps.l The greatest fermentation appears to reign in Cadiz. Count Bourck has entered Galicia; he was, on the 7th, at Villafranca-del-Viergo, and would arrive on the 10th at Lugo, with all his troops. Accoiding i I to all accounts, General Morillo, having separated entirely from Quiroga, is now united to Gen. Bourck. General Longa has re-established order and tran quillity in the Asturias. - The troops charged with the blockades continue to manifest their constancy and devotion. The garrison of Pampeluna, having made two sorties at once on the sth of this month, were vigorously repulsed by detachments of the Sd Light Infantry and the troops of Count d'Espagne. which caused the enemy a con siderable loss in killed and wounded. Two brigades of the Corps of reserve have already entered Spain; the one reirfirs to Catalonia, the other is employed in the blockade of St. Sebastian, Mar shal, the Marquis Lauriston, Commander-in-Chief of this corps of the army, will establish his head quar ters at Ernani. A Spanish ship of war, which sailed lately from Corunna, to transport to Cadiz 160 royalist prisoners, has been brought into Bilboa by the prisoners theM. selves, who had revolted, and having taken for their chief, a French drummer, who was prisoner along with them, overpowered their guards to the number of twenty•eight, as well as the captain and pilot of the ship.

EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LITTER PROM PARRIA, NEAR BARCELONA, DATED JULY 12, gg Every instant deserters are arriving here from' Barcelona. Among them are three Officers, a Co lonel, a Lieutenant-Colonel, and a Lieutenant.— They consider , the place as on the eve of an in ternal explosion. Rotten has published- to-day an extravagant Proclamation ; the slightest anti-revolu tionary acts are to be punished with death. They have reached the point of absurdity ; the denoue-, ment cannot be far distant. General Sarsfield thinks that the crisis will have passed before the lapse of •. fifteen days." This morning we received Hamburgh Papers to the 16th, the Brinels Oracle to the 18th, and Dutch Papers to . the Roth. The following are the only articles of the slightest interest they contain: to take them to the several corps for which they are intended. Lisbon Gazettes to the sth inst. reached us this morning. .The following are extracts: LISBON, JULY 1. The Gazette contains a decree of his Majesty to the following effect: ti Desiring to give a public testimony to the Officeta and other individuals of the corps of the division or the Count Amarante, who first raised the cry of fide lity to my Royal Person, in the Province of Tras-os- Montes, as well as to all others who, animated by the same loyal sentiments, afterwards joined the same division, to save the country from the tent ors of anar chy, in which it was buried as it were by a disor ganising faction, I think fit to give to the said officers, of every degree of rank, in the annexed list, signed by M. Ig. M. Pamplona Corte Real, my Minister of War, a Gold Medal, having on one side the legend, Heroica Fidelidada Transmontana, and on the other my Royal Effigy.

The Gazette of the 4th contains a long list of ap. pinintments to foreign Legations. The following article is taken from the Spanish Gazette of Cadiz, of 26th June, 1828 : 01 The French Admiral cruizing before Cadiz, sent a flag of truce on the 20th to the Commander of our Naval forces; stating that he would suffer all neu tral vessels to sail from the port of Cadiz, merely on the understanding that they approach the ship Co lossus for the purpose of ascertaining that they have no passengers on board." The Count de Palmella has addressed a Circular Note to his Majesty's Ministers at foreign Courts, to the following effect: " I transmit to you by order of his Majesty the Manifesto which he addressed to the Portuguese na tion, that you may be informed by this most import ant document of the great and happy change effected in this nation by the unanimous and spontaneous moveqtent of all classes in the nation restoring the King to the free exercise of those powers, without which there cannot be either stability for the lio narChy, dignity in the Throne ) or tranquillity its the people. • • • • 46 It seems advisable to accompany this happy news with a succinct narrative of the principal events which produced it. The people - of Portugal, convinced d the fallacy of the promises which had been made them by the promoters of the Revolution of 1820, had long since shewn evident symptoms of discon tent ; but his Majesty, scrupulously observing the promise which he had made, when he resolved to swear to the Constitution dictated by the Corms -thought it proper to defer to the very last extremity any resolution which might give an impulse to the change which the majority of the Nation dared Fearing on one band the effusion of blood which such a resolution, if premature, might occasion, sad on the other, peticeiving, in his wisdom, that prudently temporising was the most safe means of proving this the King did not wishto violate his sacred word, and that he did not recal it till he was solicited by the whole nation, which was already convinced, by este' rience, of the fatal results of the anarchical formai government which it had adopted. What his Majesty and all prudent persons is hi kingdom bad foreseen came to pass: the people wee convinced that all the promises which had bees as flounced to them in the beginning of the Revoldiks were belied by facts, and diametrically OppOlile the result. A series of misfortunes, the precursorsi -greater evils, Were accumulated on the Porte. with the most frightful rapidity. Brazil, seplngla from the mother country, the public debt usemnailk increased, commerce declining, property' wl violated, the Portuguese territory covered valid and oppressed individuals, Religion scernids Throne insulted in the person of his Majesty'sasrl Consort, our relations with the greatest part of* reign Governments interrupted; and lastly, Da 11° ' less to lengthen the interminable list of evils, a war kindled ts, ger of a foreign faction which , the most incredulous, mentation."— from the Precl With which elated in his last effort of Assembly. “ Three Count, 4 , con. the Government lan intolerant, pretended rience, to deceive L Mil Mimi cl in the kingdom, and the imminent dio I reign wars rashly undertaken by the brio ich governed, finally opened the eyes ncredulous, and produced a general i v , "—Here follows a summary of what!'

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. We have received this forenoon, by Express, the Moniteur of Saturday. It contains the following in telligence fi om Spain: ARMY OF THE PYRENNEES-BULLETIN. Agreeably to the orders of his Royal Highness, the troops of the 2d corps haire continued their move ment against the army of Ballasteros. This army, still from 8000 to 10,000 sti ong, had concentrated itself in Murcia, occupying Orihuela and Albatera, with its right protected by Alicant and Carthagena, and its Ranks covered by several corps of partizans. There appeared every reason to believe that it would main tain itself in this important position. Count Mollitor did not hesitate to advance, although he bad only with him the division of Loverdo ; but his advancedl guard having arrived at Elche, the enemy .retired precipitately on Lebrilla, and at the same instant the Infantry Regiment de Lorca, with its officers and co lours, came over to us, with cries of "iiitteFerdinandr This esample was followed by the Queen's Regi ment of Cavalry, and these two corps, at their own desire marched nett day with our troops, participat ing in their evident desire to meet the enemy. Count Mollitor arrived on the 7th at Murcia. He was re ceived there with the greatest enthusiasm, as he was alsc•the rich and fine country which he traversed. The same day he pushed his troops on the road to Carthagena, and in the direction of Loria, whither the enemy retired, having already lost more than 2000 men by defection. The second corps continued , its movement on Grenada. General Foissac-Latour, who left Madrid with troops of Cavalry and Infantry, is now at Carolina, bearing on Andujar and Jaen, in order to cover the passes of the Sierra Morena, and to serve as a =servos to the troops of Andalusia. Count Bourdesonlle, having formed the blockade of Cadiz on the land side, from Rota to Conil, is bu sied in organizing a flotilla both at Seville and in the ports, in order to complete the blockade by sea. He is well seconded by Count de Bonrmont, who is for this purpose stationed at Seville, as also by Rear- Admiral Hamelin, Commander of the fleet; and al- TRIESTB, JULY e. Since the arrival of a ship from the Dardanelles, a report is spread that the Capitark Pacha has appeared off the isle of Negropont, and has landed 10,000 men there. VIENNA, JULY 7. His Imperial Highness the Cardinal Prince Arch bishop of Olmuts, arrived here on the 4th. TANGIER, APRIL 25. Six thousand Negroes, who had to guard, in the city of Morocco, a treasure of ten millions of piastres belonging to the late Emperor, have taken posses sion of the money, and refuse to give it up to-the present Emperor, who has not yet employed force, but has entered into a negotiation with the Negroes. FRANKFORT, JULY M. Menzacki, the RussianConsul-General in Mol davia and Wallachia, has received orders from St. Petersburgh to remain at Hermanstadf, and not to go to Jassy, where he-ought properly to reside. Accounts from Jassy say that Moldavia has been threatened with new calamities. The Hetarists, to whom the magnanimity of the Emperor Alexander had granted an asylum in Bessarabia, dissatisfied that war did not break out between Turkey and Rus sia, had clandestinely obtained arms and ammunition, with the purpose of entering Moldavia with 9000 men, where they would have murdered the Boyars and Turks, plundered and burnt the towns, and by this means have drawn a Turkish army into the pro ' wince, which they calculated would tend to a breach with Rusiia. This plot was discovered, and the ring leaders arrested and put into different fortresses, where they remain till orders can be received from St. Petersburgh. BRUSSELS, JULY 16. France is making fresh efforts to increase its armies in Spain. Several more regiments, which were in the interior, have been ordered to Bayonne. Part of the corps of artillery in garrison at Donay has marched within these few days to that city. Nine hundred horses.collected at Valenciennes, and 1200 at Calmat, have been distribused among various corps of ca valry. ,More--hories are collecting in ,the depots in Lwraine, where subaltern otßcers come to fetch them,
