PARIS PAPERS. [PP.OM THE JOURNAL DES DEHATS OF SATURDAY, (HY AN EXPRESS.) MADRID, AVGPST 3.-1 transmit you the followieg let ter. which I have just received:— "1. AROLINA, JI'LY 31.—The day before yesterday a di vision of Iteneral Molitor forced the first brigade of Baths terns, composed of 3,500 men, of all arms, to accept battle at the defile called Arenas, near the small plain of that name. The first result , was the earprise of a regiment of • cavalry, 300 strong, of which seven only escaped. The re mainder of the brigade was tpirencbed within a circle of -ienecesslble rocks. These . miserahles, perceiving them selvesall on a siuldier enimmidcd with French bayonets, thooght only of flight. The cavalry threw themselves down the rocks with haste end confusion truly disgraceful, • until at length. all the brigade was killed, wounded, prison-. • era, or dispersed. The same thing will happen to the re - mainder of the army of Ballastero., which now finds it if surrounded, without the power of escape on any side, since all the outlets are occupied by French troops. Yesterday morning 6(K) men of all arms had already surrendered at • Jaen, and, among others, the retire (musical) band of one of the reeiments beaten the day before. At this moment (eight u'r lock in the evening) the dispersed soldiers are p%%sing this town, and it is asserted that Loins and the en .- • vorotis are equally filled with them. Before this action, windier rencontres took place, the results of which were similar." [PROM THE CONSTITPTIONNEL OP SATURDAY.] PERPIGNAN, July 31.—The Marshal has ordered all the Administrators who are at Mataro to return to Gerona. It seems that he has estahlisbed"is head-quarters at Matani. This order, which was badly understood, .led to the belief that the Marshal himself bud returned to the latter town , . whilst he was, in point of fact, directing the operation of the cows of the army, which he had directed to march upon lenalada and Cervera. We yesterday received the information of die affair of the Vith, with some details which the otfieers of the 60th wrote to their commander at the depot. A battalion of the pith of the fine bring a little too venturesome, the Constitu tionalists perceiving it alone without support, quitted their positions to attack it. Without the 6001, which in the end was sent to its assistance by their M irshal, it would have ron the greatest danger. * The 60th itself has starred, a commander of battalion has been wound - ed, and it has lust some officers. It seems that the action of the2sth ult. was in consequence 4f this affair, as the Marshal did not intend to engage until the Mi. The garrison of Barcelona is continually making sorties, which annoy our troops, and keep them constantly on the alert. The service is extreme ly hard, and occasions much sickness. Hospitals are es tablished at Perpignan and Cent. Ninety-one invalids have already arrived here, another detachment •is ex pected to-morrow. Hospitals are preparing at Mies and St Genus. [FROM THE PILOTE OP SUNDAY.] MADRID, 3 eLY 31, 10 AT NIGHT.—We had an alarm fact night. About 300 of the Constitutional troops presented themselves in too columns near the gates of St. I.'ernando and St. Vincent ; it is said that they were commanded by the Empecinado. We heat to arms, and when the garrison assembled the Constitutionalists remeasured their footsteps. Praise is due to the good spirit and excellent disposition of the French troops. Some patrols of cavalry traversed the streets during the whole of the day, and at the moment 1 write all is tranquil, and the alarm has entirely The poor Regency is attacked on all sides ; it is taxed with despotism. and . with giving itself up to the spirit o, vengeance, and is at variance with the Fiend' military au .' thority, which reproaches it with wishing to render itself independent of its benefits.

On the preceding day, Sunday, the Regency , published& Gazette eel a erdina ry, the contents o which we subjoin:— " MADRID, AVG. 3.—.OIPICIAL ARTICLE. " The Government has received information that the m inable health of their Majesties and their Koval Highnesses continued unchanged during the 28th and 29th of the last month. " Two of the nine gun boats preparing at Puerto de Santa Maria were got out of port on the 2x.th, and mea sures are taking to forward the remaining seven with all expedition. " The news of the journey to that quarter, s.nolertaken by tl•e Duke of Angouleine, has caused great exultation at Puerto de Santa Maria." The Government hag also received the following official despatch; which is here inserted literally, fur the satisfac tion of the public : CAPTAINCY GENERAL OP THE KINGDOM AND COAST OP GRANADA. " Most Excellent Senor !—Yesterday at three in the afternoon, his Must Christian Majesty's troops, under the command of Camp Marshal the Baron de (Mono, took possession of this capital, it having that moment been abandoned by those calling themselves Constitutionalists. In the morning of that day. General Don Josef dr Zayas marched off with an army, in name. consisting of a deluge of officers, but only rioo cavalry and 1,600 infantry— a small number, indeed. and yet sufficient to harass the unfortunate towns which are incapable of defence. lam confident, however, considering the public spirit in favour of his Majesty, that this force is not likely to be kept together. In consequence of the arrangements made by the General com manding his Most Christian Majesty's troops, I have taken upon myself the command of the Captaincy of this king dom and coast;. and I yesterday, restored the Ayunta miento, the Chancery, and other authorities, as advised by the said French Commanding General, and directed by the Regency. " I have this day established a subsistence junta, composed by persons decided for the Royal authority, that they may proceed to the collection of provisions, and take care that the allied troops be properly supplied, a. the commanding General has ditecied ; what the said troops consume being paid for. "The officers and company of the provincial regiment of Guadix, left hers by General Zayas to preserve public tran qoillity, did not wish to follow their cavalry, and made an offer to serve his Majesty, which was accepted by the General. " Don Rafael del Barrio. not being disposed to follow the rebel army threw up his commission, and remained here. Several other chiefs and officers of the same corps have fol lowed his example " The King's Lieutenant has been restored ad interim, becatise he was dismissed in the year 1820 fur his decided attachment and fidelity to his Sovereign. " I have taken measures for harming two depots, in which Individuals belooging to the constitutional armies will be collected; and I shall report their number to your Excel lency by the next courier. a All the persons belonging to the military finance de pertmeot of the district have remained, and have applied to me to be employed, as they bad not followed the army.

The Aloinenp, Chronicle, from which we yesterday copied the correeponslenre between Sir R. Wilson and '3lorillo, has published to-day the follosing ekplanation, of the circum stoners under which the correspondence took piece, and the Motives by which Sir Robert was actuated on the occasion. The respectability of the splatter from which they derived the explanation, entitle it, they state, to the utwost autho rity : In publishing the Correspondence between Sir Robert Wil son and General Morillo. the Editor of The Chronicle nc knowlestged that "the perusal of it had ailed him with some astonishment." Circumstances enabling one of its readers to throw some Ughu upon those documents, he imparts for The Chronicle . information, and with great pleasure, the following fads' and reasons which certainty induced the proceedings above ale laded to : The Chronicle is aware that Sir Robert Wilson reached Vign on the sKith July. At that time all was in alarm and con sternation at that place, in consequence of the defeat and dis persion of a force rather imprudently sent to attack General Morillo, at the Bridge of San Payo. Morino had moved after wards to itedondela. only two leagnes from Vigo, his detach ments occupying Soligno, a point that intersected the commu nication wilts Grosse, and connected him with the factious of 'Pug and Guardia. from Redondo!s he had sent a submens to the town of Vigo, to snrrendet, arid the Junta was actually sitting at the moment Sir Robert arrived, to return an answer, with the undisguised intention of capitulating, there not being more than WO men in the town, issciustlngthe volunteers. Such was the actual state of affairs at Vigo when Sir Robert Wilson rescued that place, and ender circumstances (namely. his wound), which rendered any military exertion on his pert impossible. HIS only object. therefore, was toguirs lime, and but one mode of doing so presented itself, viz. negociation.— He renewed in consequence a correspondence with Morillo, for the avowed purpose of obtaining an armistice, if pos sible, upon an enlarged scale; but at all events, to procure such a suspension of that General's operations as might give time to restore order and confidence at Vigo, and facilitate the dislocation of the forces in that twighneurhood. Ills corre spondence, it will be perceived. commenced on the 2.lth July, and sees terminated by General hlorillo's answer, dated near Punts. Vedra, August Ist. Thus the object of Ifir Robert Wilson was'pdatlally Obtained, and advantage was taken of that suspension of hostilities, on the part of General Murillo, to fee ..e arrangetbentt and adopt measures with a view to fu turecnntingenc4a. tied Morino areepted the propositions, en armistice was secured, and Coranna preserved from impending peril : if he declined the propositions and continued hostilites, the noto riety of the. fact of such refusal to enter into negociations cal culated to terminate the evil of civil war, must have an effect prejudicial to his authority and power. Neither the Spanish Government nor city individual Spaniard was committed by the propositions whether accepted or not accepted by General Mo rino. it was the proposal of a Foreigner, upon Isis own indi vidual responsibility, 'whose acts might be disavowed or not as the Government pleased ; bit: supposing the propositions ac celtesl by Morino, use certain resett would here been the pre servation of Coruna mist Vsgo at a very critical moment and season of the year, for a given time. That the enemy shouid accept such propositions could hardly be expected ; by the result, therefore. Sir Robert Wilson's ob ject was so far realized. that hostile operations against Vigo r were suspended from the :nth July to the SJ August, and all that time gained from the enemy for further arrangement and disposition of 'the Constitutional forces under G Is Vego and Palarea. It was a rase dc guerre," ably played off at a moment of distress to serve a temporary purpose, and in this light only will any mass in his senses view the whole pro ceediUll. . - MA MIR. •VR. 1....Dub11n 0 1....

TI e following note was this morning issued from the office of the Mo,niis Herald:— Morning Herald Office,Nine o'Clock. a.m. We have received the following important information, by an Express from Paris : Paris, August O. TELcaRAPTite " A Tel egraphic Despatch, dated from the Head Quarters a t Caroline. the oth of August, announetts that Ballasteros has given in his submission, and acknowledged the Regency." P. S.—The Paris Papers of Sunday do not contain any other news of importance. A letter, received this morning from Falmouth, states that the Spanish Royalists had made an attack on the Con. stitution alists, at Saint Roche, and were, in some degre e suceessitil; but afterwards, on making an attempt on th e lines, they were repulsed. A Flanders, Mail arrived this morning, has brought us Brussels papers to the 9th instant. Their contents are no t devoid of interest. An article from Corfu, dated June 30 after stating, what we had previously learnt, that the Pacha. of Scutari had yielded to the importunities of the Sultan and sent some of his troops ag.rinst the Greeks, now inform 5 us that the fort• or fifty thousand Albanians, which the Turks and their friends had talked of, are reduced to an auxiliary force of about two thousand men. The Com mander of this small corps goes to Iligtolia or Macedo nia, whence he will proceed to Thessaly. The whole region of Chassia which embraces the chain of mountains that unite Pindns to Olympus, it is understood, has taken arms against the Turks.—ln Germany, the spirit which had manifested itself so strongly among the young men at the Universities, appears to have but little subsided. In the University of Lei psig, an investigation is carrying on for the detection of some suspected secret associations. The suspicion of their existence has been excited by a kind of Ipilgrimage made there by some students from Ilalle I and some disorders have taken place among the Polish students, who are very numerous at Leipeig. In the mean time, an active hostility is employed against the agents of the press. Dr. Murhard, editor of the Universal Political Annals, who has resided for several years at Francfort, on the Maine, Las experienced some obstacles to the continuation of his abode in that free city. It is not known whether foreign influence is concerned in it. However, this he, Mr. Murchard, has applied to the Diet, whose Constitution expressly prohibits all personal persecution of writers. But it is in Switzer land, (once and long the asylum of Freedom) that the Press is doomed to experience the most galling restraints. — The following intelligence is from Zhrich, dated July 23d: — The Report of the Committee on the Police of the Press has beep unanimously adopted by the Confederation. All the Can tons will therefore take the most rigorous measures to hinder the journals and pamphlets from containing any thing oTensive to Allied Powers, and which may cause the least inisunder stsuding between Switzerland and the neighbouring States. — They will therefore refuse admission to all refugees who have quitted their own country, after having disturbed its Iran . quillity, and who are consequently pursued as agitators, as well as those who, during their abode la Switzerland, have abused the hnspit.lity afforded them by enraging in secret in trigues, either against Switzerland or against other Govern ments. In future all strangers coming to Switzerland must have regular passports signed by the Magistrates of their re spective Cantons. Accounts from Carlsrulte, dated July 29th, announce some negotiations of importance, in which the. British Cabinet is engaged. The Gazette of that City contains an article dated Augsburg, to the following effect : " Let tars which we receive from all quarters, inform us that the English Cabinet has made important overtures to those of Copenhagen and Stockholm. Denmark, it Is said, enters en tirely into the English policy. Sweden has not yet giVila a decided answer to the note of the British Minister; but the Council of State has met several times to discasshis proposals ; and the Swedish Minister for Foreign Affairs hay had con ferences with the English Ambassador; the object of which is, to draw still closer the bonds which unite the two countries. " On the other hand, a letter from Vienna glees us to under stand that the East will shortly be the theatre of important events. as the Cabinet of St. Petersburg at length perceives that the intervention of the •English and Austrian Ministers at Constantinople has produced no satisfactory result. A report has already been circulated at Vienna. that the Porte has withdrawn its forces which it had assembled in Thessaly, to • send them to the banks of the Danube." STOCK ESCRANOE, 12 O'CLOCK.—ConSoIi opened at 62F3, at which price they have remained steady. The arrival of the Express from Paris, bringing the ac count of the submission of Ballasteros to the Regency, has caused great surprise in the city. Spanish, which opened at 333, got up on the above news to Mt. There is a re port prevailing that the Duke of Somerset bas gone to Cadiz ; the object of his mission is as yet kept a secret. FOREIGN FUNDS.—The information of the submission of Ballesteros caused a' great bustle in the Foreign Market this morning, as it is now imagined that the Cortes will come to some accommodation with the Duke d'Angouleme New Spanish, 3a—Russia, Se— Columbia, O to 88—French Scrip, 24i. In a preceding column we have inserted a communica tion, extracted from the Morning Chronicle of this day, in explanation of the correspondence between Sir Robert Wil son sud Morillo, which yesterday excited very general as. tonishreent and perplexity. Before we notice the particu lars of the object of the correspondence, or empire how far Sir Robert may he justified in its use as a deception on the person whom he engaged in it, we cannot but condemn the rashness which published to the people of England the enigma without the key, and left them to labour ander im pressions as injurious to the character of its contriver, as painful to his friends. After the public had for four and twenty hours been much further led astray to the publica tion, than Zdorillo was by the correspondence, they are set at ease this morning by the intimation that the eorre. spondence with that traitor u as only intended to gain time for other objects, and that the proposed negotiation was a ruse de guerre. After the affair at San Payo and Redondilla, to which the explanation refers, and of which we have given an account in another part of our paper, Morillo, it appears, despatched a letter to the Governor of Vigo, stating, " that as he had commenced hostilities, he (the General) was determined to possess himself of Vigo; that he offered terms which, if refused, the inhabitants and soldiers of Vigo would soon find the foreigner would not be disposed so generously to grant." Retiondilla, front which Alorillo's letter was dated, is only about two leagues from Vigo. Sir Robert, with a view to delay, proposed the correspondence with Morino; and this proposal was approved of by the Authorities of Vigo. blorillo at first hesitated to suspend his movement against Vigo, during the negotiation. but at last consented to do so—and time, then of the greatest importance, was thereby gained. Such are the particulars as given to day in the piper referred to, and which, it is expected, will appear sufficient to justify the conduct of Sir Robert Wil.on. He bed an important object to accomplish, anti lie arcomplished it to the satisfaction of those who were most deeply interested in the issue. It is admitted, however, that in his anxiety to effect the object lie had at heart, Sir Robert will be thought to have proceeded further in his compliments to Mdrillo, and made more free nub the English Government than were strictly necessary for that purpose. That policy is very questionable which expresses opinions, for the acc.om plislonent of a temporary purpose, of which an enemy may afterwards take the advantage. In another part of our paper will be found a Report of the speech of the presiding Judge at the late Kilkenny Assizes. It is another satisfactory evidence of the end.a. your now pursued by the Judicial Authorities in Ireland to restrain those abuses of power, which, under the colour of law, had, heretofore, prevailed in that misruled country. A principal object with the Bench, during the recent As. sizes,frout the Chief Justice to the youngest Judge on the circuit, has been, as the Irishman gratefully obset yes, to inculcate a milder and more correct course of conduct on Magistrates and their subordinate officers. "Hitherto, they have " borne the snord in vain." They have neither been " a terror to evil &Ire" nor obtained " the praise of those who do well." ng e The foll owl accotent of the s affaiebeitmen MAN and the Constitutionalists at the Bridge of Sampayo, may be depended on:— " The affair of Morillo calls the battle of Redondela, to 1k place in this way :—A detachment of 800 men was sent from Vigo for the purpose of dislodging him from his position at the bridge of Sr. Pavo, and fortifying it against any future attack. The detachment was commanded by a Colonel, who had 'elicited the honour for reasons which will appear by the result. His inferior officers who led the advance, beat Morillo's cavalry, and drove in all his out post in great confusion. He commenced barricading the bridge; on the cowing up of the Colonel commanding, he dismissed the men to refresh themselves and take some rest, and remaitted with a chosen guard at the bridge. Morillo, who was well acquainted with his intentions, came on with all his force. This Colonel and his guard offered no re sistance, did not even fire an alarm shot, bet remained with Morillo nominally his prisoners, and the sleeping detach. meat thus betrayed, had the dragoons amongst them before they had the slightest notice. Immediately, however, they watt as touch resi•tance as the circumstances permitted, and succeeded in getting to the hills dispersed,hut without loss, save those of traitors, and the same evening re-assew 'bled it Vieu,indig mint at the base conduct of the fellow who betrayed them." Extract of a letter, from Madrid, July 28:—The Duke d'Angoaleme left us at two olock this morning for Seville. accompanied by 2,000 of the Royal Guard, and the whole of the sta. As he proceeds by easy stages, it may be 13 or 20 days err lie reaches Seville. Several detachments of troops have left this of late for the South, and in a day or two the whole of the present garrison will take the same direction; then will he relieve I by the troops that have been vatiored between this and Vittoria, who are marching hitherward, and some have arrived to day; these, in like manner, will be relieved by the divisions forming the block ades of San Sebastian and Patupeluna—the new troops from France succeeding them. The soldiers in the surround ing villages are also tinder orders for Andalusia; so that in the whole. his Royal Highness takes a reinforce ment of abent fifteen thousand men. Conjecture is now at an Ohl with respect to the origin of the fire on the 20th at the Church and Convent of the Espiritu Santo. A German whooccnpied one angle of the building as a coffee house and brewery, has confessed that the fire broke out is his brewery; that he was 24 hours endeavouring to extin guirlt it ; that he had called in no assistance, nor mention ed it oa account of the heavy floe imposed on all persons is whose premises a fire breaks out. A great mauy persons were arrevell on suspicion, all of the Constitational party, to whom it was at first ascribed, but who are, however, not likely to be released, notwithstanding the discovery now made. There is no foundation whatever, rays the Courier, for the statement of one of our con eneporaries yesterday, that the " Cabinet, at its late sitting, came to a resolution, de clining all interference, as mediators nr otherwise, between the belligerent parties in the Peninsula, should overtures towards a reification ericeeded from the offending Go vernment.' From whatever quarter such overtures wry come, es are persuaded that they will be equally well re ceived by oat Government. The feelings which it enter tains on the subject are still the same as were expressed in Mr. Canniug's last words on the subject, previous to the breaking out of time war:—" I 3111 commanded, in conclu sion," said die Right Hon. Secretary, in his Despatch to Sir Charles Stuart, of the 31st of March, 1n23, " to direct your Excellency to declare to the French Minister that his Majesty wi' I be, at all tinter, ready to renew the interposi tion of his :rood offices fur the purpose of terminating those hostilities which his Majesty has so anxiously, though in effectually, endeavoured to avert." The Repott of an approaching Congress, to be held ei ther at Vienna, or some place mere metrical, continues to be talked of in the Ministerial circles. It is said, however, that It will not be attended with all that diplomatic forma lity which c haracterized the proceedings at Verona, while at the save time it will be more general in its details.— limides the Affairs of Spain, which are to form the grand feature of deliberation, those of the smaller States of Ger m toy are likewise to be eticussed. The policy which for soma years oast his b -en pursued by the Courts of Bavaria and Wirt. m.berg is slid to have given the highest offence to the Holy e ; that of the latter answer in particu lar. One treat object of the ensuing Coct Tes. will be, to set forth to Europe, in a clear and convincing light, the prieciples tat which the Holy Alliance refers to act, and the compact by which they are held together: A vessel arrived from Gilboa brings intelligence, that by a recent order front Madrid, that Port had been re stored to the freedom of Cradle which existed previous to the Eseablislonent of the Constitutional Government. We learnt by a letter from Paris of Saturday last, that the report of Altishal's death in a duel is not correct. He lives at Limoge I, in a state of retirement. The Dieali mail arrived yesterday, bringing letters from Corte, dat.sd July 9, which contain further reports respect ing the in. gtary operations in the Morea. These letters state that the Sereskier Mehemet Paella would not wait till a part of the Turlcish fleet should reach Patras before he wade an attack on the Mores on his side, but to soon as the Captain Paella had landed mouse troops in Negropont, be advanced with his army, consisting of 18,000 omen, bath Asiatics and Europeans, by way of Z itouny towards the Thermopylr. Odysseus, who at that dose had only 2,000 mer, defended that celebrated pass with greet bravery.— The , Greeks sustained great loss, but maintained their ground till the arrival of a reinforcement of 9,000 men, with which they attacked the Turks, earl made them ree • treat in confusion. They took Zeitouny by storm. The Turkish fleet which arrived off Patras had. up to this date. done nothing besides pluntieri eg a dozen merchant vessels of different (triune in the vicinity of 31isKrlan;lai. It isaffirmed that the ilinssulmen have banged an Italian eat Ill!!!: It the first tart of this account should he manned, It May be presented that the fourth expedition of the Tails against the Moro will have no better success than the three pree ceding. Accnutits from Remlin, dated the 01st Jaly, state that i the latest letters from Servs and Ilitoglia agree in assert , ing that the plague has broken out at Larissa, and that tie Turks art flying in all directions to escape the pestilence. ' —This precaution is, hoe ever, certainly very contrary le the religious prejudices and usual practice of the Slur submits', LordA letter c o. from i nes i P n e tate consequence c o e f•l f t ea 2, mutiny f J u a n m e o , n st g a t t h er e , sa thati ors of the Brazilian squadron, had Leen compelled to du, mantle and lay up some of his ships, and that be remained at sea with only one matt of ear and a frigate—a force too weak for the attack lie had meditated on time Portuguese fleet. On the Ifith affairs at Bahia continued in the same state, but ammunition and supplies of food had been got in. Oenetal Madeira felt quite confident that he could main tain the place. Accounts from Alvranham stated, that the interior was in a very distressed condition. By a Royal ortlinsree of the King of the Netherlands dated the 2Sth ult, the commissioners for the sinking had have bees authorized to raise a loan of 84.1,1100,000 guilder'. about 140110,000/. sterling.
