PARIS PAPERS. PARIS, Ana. s.—Letters from Madrid affirm that the late sortie from Cadiz was directed by two veteran foreign Generals—that the troops of Bordesoulle sustained great loss—that Lopez Banos had moved on Talavera, and effected his junction with Colonel Amor, their united strength being 6,000 foot and 1,500 horse. Villa Campa was also endeavouring to join Ballasteros, and it was thought probable that the blockading army musit send out large reconnoitering detachments. note). it appears from letters just received from Cadiz, that. the French squadron occasions much uneasiuess among the Revolutionists. It is affirmed that Riego has promised a reward of ' 300,000 francs to any one who would destroy any of the ships of the Blockading Squadron.— The discontent of the people augments, and they not long since carried in triumph one of our officers who was sent in with a flag of truce, in hopes that the reign of Valdes aad his con sorts would soon be ended.--(Gazette ale Fiance). A letter from Tolosa, dated July 30, after de tailing the excesses committed at Saragossa on the 20th and following days, on the authority of an eye-fitness, says, that " after the arrests, a great number of respectable inhabitants left Saragossa by night. The MI and 23d, the discontent of the populace was general, because they remained alone with the priests in the city, which now more resembles the meanest village of Arragon than the capital of the province. Extraordinary cou riers were dispatched by the French authorities to the Duke d'A ngouleme, and it is hoped that his Royal Highness will order a detachm ent of at least 6,000 or 6,000 men to maintain tranquillity at Saragossa, Such is the fine use made of the 8,000 muskets - distributed to the populace on the entrance of the French. Persons from Valencia assert, that similar scenes to those acted in Sara gossa had taken place in that city ; and that 3000 families had left it, and were wandering over the country. There are some guerillas in the pro vince, who have already captured several hun dred black cattle destined for the army. It is asserted, that yesterday (the 29th) the garrison of Pampeluna made another sortie. We expect the details with impatience."—(Pitote.) Grand ficad-Quar tent, Oeana, July 29. His Royal Highness the Duke d'Angouleme enjoys good health. We are marching amidst a population intoxicated with enthusiasm ; their at tentions prove the happiness they feel at behold. ing the Prince, their deliverer. BLOCKADE OF ST. SEBASTIAN, JULY 29, Marshal Lauriston arrived here yesterday.— He has inspected the camp of the 19th light troops and the 43d of the line, and has also visit. eel the advanced posts. Immediately on his arrival he sent Col. Clouel to demand the answer of the besieged by 4 o'cidek this afternoon. It has not yet been received. The Marshal has established his head-quarters at Ernani. The day before yesterday three artillerymen :deserted from St. Sebastian. On being brought before General Iticard, they stated that the be sieged were preparing to make a sortie, but the precise time was not known, because the soldiers, Oho mistrusted their officers, were desirous of making it by day, while they, on the contrary, wished it to be a night sally. The arrival of the Marshal, and his summons to the garrison, will doubtless change the inten tion of Gen. O'Donnel.

(EXTRACT of A PRIVATE LETTER.) - LEIPSIC, - JuLY 245.—1 t is not yet known for which system Count Lambert, successor to M. d'Obreskow, as Director Ge neral of Tratle and Customs in Russia, has declared himself ; but as it is kmiwn that the latter resigned because they would not preserve the system and the tarif hitherto followed, it is supposed that Count Lambert will follow a system more con formable to the true interests of Russia, and tending to extend its commercial relations, in place of IF - a:clog them still more. It also seems that the Commission recently appointed to exa mine the Customs and the tarif has not yet terminated its labours, and cannot make its Report till it has employed all the numerous materials which have been transmitted to it from all the western and , southern parts of the Russian Empire.— The new Russiao Minister of Finances, M. de Cauvien, is not the partizan of the prohibitive system, as is amply proved by the writings he has published on political economy, and which further prove that he is a Man possessed of great knowledge, having studied all the best works on these important matters. It is said that manufactures are on the increase in Poland and Russia since the introduction of the prohibitive system ; this is true as to some, particularly the manufactory of coarse cloths, but the greater part of the remainder cannot subsist without the support of Government. Russian commerce is in a state of stagnation, and it will not be again active till the system is altered. The evil resulting from the prohibitive system is now showing itself in Prussia. Since the publication of the last re gulations as to the customs, and particularly since they have made all commodities which merely pass through the Prussian territories pay the duties on consumption, the transit through this country has been almost nothing, and the neighbouring countries gain what the Prussians lose. Commodities arc car ried far round to avoid the Prussian Custom-houses, and new commercial routes are establishing in countries wh:re fortnetly the roads were entirely deserted. FLAN DERS MAIL. CASSEL, JULY 28.—The Ministers of State have published a Notice, in which it is stated, that amidst the general Joy manifested by the inhabitants on the happy return of his Highness the Elector to his capital,' they have the un pleasant duty of announcing that Qlle or more villains have dared annonimously .so threaten the precious life of our beloved . Sovereign, • and of some of those who are about his person, which has rendered it absolutely necessary to take extraor dinary measures of precaution : " The more the Magistrates are bound "to time double vigi lance against the criminal conduct of villains concealed in the dark, the more reason we have to trust that every faithful sub ject of his Royal Highness, filled with horror at such a crime, will hasten to communicate to the Police every suspicion, how. ever remote, that he may have already conceived, or may con ceive in future, on this subject, and thus prove by facts the at tachment to the sacred person of the Sovereign, which is en graved on the heart of every loyal Hessian. It is therefore use less to give the assurance, which we are, however authorised to give by these presents—that he who is able to furnish positive information, and of a nature to lead to conviction, shall re. ceive a reward of 10,000 crowns, or his pardon, in case he should not be one of the authors of the plot, but only have had knowledge of it. " The MINISTER of the Electorate of lIESSE. " Cassel, July 27, 18'23." MAYENcE, J 2L—The Central Committee established to inquire into revolutionary intrigues continues its operation with great ardour. The Reports extended last year to No. 32 ; this year they have reached No. 46. They contain, it is bald, great dis coveries, extracted from the papers of the students who were arrested in Prussia. One of them of the name of Beecher pos sessed a book of lessons which he had collected in the course of lectures on polities delivered by Professor Lucien at jos in 1021. Sots: passages of this comae are submitted by the Coin. mittee to the Diet as bearing the stamp of a factious, republi can, anti-monarchical spirit. This communication is accom; periled by an urgent recommendation to the Diet to have a most strict watch kept over all Professors anti all the institution's for public instruction. FRANKFORT, JULY 27.—1 t may be remembered, that at the Congress-of Carlsbad, it was decided that .the Censorship of the Periodical Publications in Germany should be exercised for five years. This measure ought, therefore, to expire in the year 1323 ; but people began to tear that this will not be the case, and, on the contrary, that there is little hope of seeing it become free again. The Committee charged to annihilate the Prussian public debt had papers to the amount of 1,66,92.3 dollars, burnt at Berlin on the 21st of this month, which makes the whole amount of paper currency redeemed and burnt 153,4136,334 dollars. At; n it, tr 1. 23.—A letter from Trieste of the 20th, says, " At length some vessels have arrived from the Archipe... lago from Alytelene, have made the voyage. in 28 days; the Captains report that the Turkish tr, ;ups that landed at Carysto had a few days after a warm action with the Greeks. It was said at Mytelene that Negropont was in the hands of the Greeks, but this tines not appear probable. A Captain arrived in 30 days from Smyrna, reports that the Greek fleet of 120 sail is following the fleet of the Captain Paella. We expect soon to receive news direct from the Noma. [We must remind our readers, that the Allgemeine Zeilung, from which this article is extraCtcd, has already two or three times announced and contradicted' the taking of Negropont.]— (Brunch Papers, Aug. 6.) BAYONNE PAPERS. MAMlto',Jurot 24.—The action before Cadiz, on the 16th was one of the moat serious that has yet taken place, and no doubt considerable loss must have been sustained. In that before Corunna, on the 15th, the 7th regiment appears to have suffered the most. ,fit Seville there were so many sick and wounded on the 20th, that it had been resolved to embark a great timber nithe latter on board the French squatdron, to convey them to France. The communications between Andalusia and Madrid are at times interrupted, notwithstanding the movements of the French, who occupy the Sierra Morena. liallastoros retains his position at Malaga, Granada, and Ronda, with 10 or 12,000 Men, and has detached 10 guerillas, each consisting of 200 toot and 40 hors?, commanded by good officers, in different direc tions, especially towards the Sierra Morena. General Molitor, it is said - , has received orders from the Prince to advance with all the force that lie can command towards Granada to attack Balleateros, 'and cover Dordesoulle. carthagena and Alicant are not yet blockaded : those two places, besides a good garri son, have each a guerilla of 1,200 men ; the Constitutionalists, however, want resources, and are obliged to , have recourse to requisitions, in order to- subsist. Ballasterosis reproached by his party with dilatoriness and pusillanimity; the fact is, that with almoat.equal forces, he has done nothing.. in comparison with Mina, hut only yieldell the ground to his adversaries, re treating for 140 leagues. The Empecinatio„ after entering Valladolid, proceeded to wards Arunda with 1,500 men, of which 300 are cavalry. Al most all the prisoners - whom he has released have joined him. The Royalists, in their n, have retaken the city, and put In prison the wives of the prisoners. Bourck continues his operations in Galicia. Morillo was advancing against Vigo. O'Donnell has written to the Regency, that till a body of troops-is kept at Valladolid, an d Ci u d a d Rodrigo blockaded, Old Castile will not enjoy tranquillity. Pampeluna and St. Sebastian hold out obstinately the gar rison of the forme r h as ma d e man y t alli es . I n the last, while two columns of 500 men each, protected by artillery, engaged the enemy on one aide, another coltimn of 1,000 men cut down the corn on the other side to carry it into the fortress. General Guilleminot has given positive omen to besiege both places in form. The present state of things in Spnin is very unfavourable to foreign commerce. The French cruisers stationed before Bar. celona, Tarragona, Carthagena, Malaga, Algesiras, Cadiz, Corunnn, Vigo, Ferrol, Santander, Sammie, and St. Sebas tian, strictly searching all vessels, and hindering them from ent e ring these ports, and even in the ports occupied by the French or the soldiers of the Faith, the duties are very high. Sir Robert Wilson and General Lalletnand* fought with courage at the afro tof Corunna. • This is.on error, General Lohman(' is not at Corunna. ATTACK ON CORUNNA. [ From the Moniteur.l PARIS, AUG. 4.—We have Lean favoured with the communication of the follcminir letter, writ ten by a Captain Aide-de-Camp of General de la Itocheitcquelin. The details uhich it con tains are interest!ng, and refute the allegations of some foreign Journals:— " Camp before Corunna, July 17. " General,—Of all the operations of the campaign, that which took.place here the day before yesterday is certainly no t the least important, and the investment of Corunna will figure in the history of the war as a feat of arms which does as much honour to Gen. liourck as to the troops under his orders. " We quitted Lugo on the 13th, at three in the morning. General Morino accompanied us till Within a league from the place, and there the separation was most amicable between the Spaniards and the French. " On the 14th our advanced guard came upivith the army at Betanzos, the birth-place of Quirogii Whether it be that the revolutionary Chief had made use of his'credit for these three years past, to tormentull who were not Constitutional, or that the inhabitants are really more attached to the ancient order of things, I know not ; but never have I seen public opi nion manifest itself with so much warmth ; men, women, and children, fell on their knees before us, and embraced us in their arms ; called us their liberators, and Vire le Rol ! Vhe le Roi Louis XVIII! Viz , : l i dirmee Franatise, were in every mouth. " Between Batanzos and Corunna there is an important pass, l of which it was essential to obtain possession. We were in formed that the enemy had undermined the bridge of Burgo, and that a first explosion had not blown up the arch. Some workmen, protected by 30 cavalry and 50 infantry, were occu pied in making a second mine, to finish the business, and ren der the passage impossible. My General gave me 50 horse, and ordered me to proceed with all haste to Burgo, to drive away the eneniy, and occupy the post. I arrived there at nine o'clock at night, and occupied the village. Some moments later, the mine would have been sprung, and we should have been stopped. My first care was to destroy the mine. " General Bourek arrived at seven (next morning) w!th the remainder of the division. As soon as the 7th Light and Ber thier's brigade had passed, General Bourek gave orders to my General to,carry the heights, which are about a league front Corunna. The enemy had, for fifteen days, been labouring to en trench the formidable poSitions of St..3larguerite ; he might with a small force, as has been done before, have stopped at army ten times stronger than ours. I confess to you that it appeared to us the height of temerity to advance a step with our small numbers, while the Spaniards were in so redoubtable a position. " The order is given to attack. Instantly our brave volti geurs of the 7th Light precipitated themselves on the Spanish tirailleurs ; the latter could not resist the impetuoilty of the shock, and retired within their lines. " Soldiers of the 7th Light,' exclaimed General Bourck, with a loud ,voice, it is to you that is reserved the honour of carryingthese 6ntrenclunents : there, aloft in the rocks, yo u are to find the enemy. Advance ! Charge !" `" The bayonet I the bayonet !' was the cry Pp all sid eo ,,... The firing ceased on our side; antl 4 amidst a shower of balls, out brave men scaled the heights. me bumphd yoionei'Lai n v ott mounted limp a rock, and waving.a white handkerchief in his hand, pointed to the soldiers the xpot which it was necessary to occupy. The view at this moment was superb—he appeared a giant—all pressed around hin►.-_.we were all electrified. " Gen. llourek was on foot, and in spite of his old wounds, was always in front, and directed the march of our columns with admirable coolness; while my General (L a s llochejacquelin), by his brilliant valour, inflamed thu courage of the soldiers, and wen sustained the splttodour of his name. " Tti enemy lost heart, and fell back, when we had ativanc. ed about sixty steps• The firing re -commenced on our side, and we entered, into the intrenchments, amidst cries ofVier le iki " The Spaniards effected their retreat by two great roads; we could not take prisoners ; our soldiers were harassed with fa tigue, and had only strength to tire their guns. .. • " A small battalion' of French refugees (the same, I believe, AS that which appeared on the Bidasioa, and which makes now part of the garrison of Corunna) stopped for nom minutes on the glee's of the place, exhibiting an enormous.tri.coloured flag. Our soldiers proved the profound Contempt which they enter. tabled fir them ; on the appearance of this signal of revolt, the cries of Viva le Rol r redoubled ; they forgot all their fa. tigues, in order to compel them to retire within the place. Our loss is about from co to 130 wounded, among whom are several officers, very severely.--Accept, &c." F ont the Etoik. ) The following letter, written on the 18th under the walls of Corunna, appears to us worthy of the attention of our readers : it will enable them to appreciate all the reports which the Li. beranshave set on foot concerning the battles which have obliged the Revolutio:;iNts to take refuge within the walls of that city, and concerning the pretended retreat of the french on the sub. sequent days :--- " At the bivouac of the advanced poste befOre Corunna, July 10. " It has pleased Ood, the disposer of all things, to grant to our 7th light Infantry a complete victory over the most furious Revolutionists, drawn up under the walls of Corunna, and coin. mended by Quiroga and Wilson. On the lath llourck's divi. sign passed the heights to attack the out-posts which defended the approach of the town. We were ordered to push forward, and the fire soon became iTtneral throughout the whole line. On our right was a strong redoubt, which supported an in trenchment occupied by the enemy on the left; on a high hill was another intrenchmem,strengthened by windmill s , wherein wer e th ree p i eces of califion, and, besides this, a large body of infantry. Our Colonel, Dam e Lembot, marched by a very bad, dif. ' flcult road 4 towards the works on the left. lie contrived to draw up in front of this position. He saw it was of no use to begin a fire in front of a line so well protected. lie ordered us to I charge at a brisk trot the windmill on our left, which was the highest point. Our brave men, without minding the balls which hailed on them as they passed along the line, follow e d their Colonel at a qu i ck pace. We soon saw the enemy waver and give way. We redoubled our speed ; and what with astonishment a t our audaCity, and fear of b e i ng ta k en in the rear, the enemy ab an d oned every post, and took fairly to his heels. The Colonel, the first to arrive at the mill, stuck on it his white pocket handkerchief, as a sort of flag : as for uii, continued our pursuit of the enemy. " Our battalion having on their side carried the redoubt on the right, join e d us i n pursuing the enemy, even to tile walls of the city. Berthier's b r i ga d e, which came up to support us, did not arrive till the enemy had been forced from every p ost; we ex. changed s h ots d uring the whole night, and our regiment took post at the di stance of a Never did a regiment show more vigour and courage than our' pistol shot from the gates of the town. 7th. We have lost 40 or 50 men in this affair. Quiroga and Wilson were present in the works which we took, and it was a ball front the 7th which wounded Wilson. They had but just time to make two discharges of cannon, loaded with grape shot, and which they speedily carried away : we have, however, got their two a mmunition waggons, with the mules, which they had not time to put to.

In Our - Paper of Wednesday last we exclu sively announced the arrival of a Messenger from Paris with important dispatches from Sir CHARLES STEWART. The dispatches, as we then stated, were immediately forwarded by Lord FRANCIS CoNy:l6n.tm, the Under Secretary of State for the Home Department, to Mr. Secretary CANNING, who was, with his Lady, at Coombe Wood, on a visit to the Earl and Countess of IavEIIPOOL. The dispatches were deemed so im portant, that after some consultation with the Earl of LIVERPOOL, it was determined to summon a Cabinet Council, at which all the Ca binet Ministers should, if possible, be present.— Orders were sent to town for that purpose, Held as the major part of the Cabinet Ministers were at a great distance from the Metropolis, sum mouses were immediately dispatched to the Earl of 'WESTMORELAND at his country seat ; to tbo Earl of HARROWBY, who was OR his way S t .

Yesterday morning most of the Cabinet Minis ters had arrived in Town ; and the Cabinet Council (as exclusively stated in our Paper of yesterday), was held at the Foreign Office, at Downing-street, at half-past three o'clock. All the Members of the Cabinet, with the exception of Lords StOraotyrit and BEXLEY', and Messrs.

Soon after the Cabinet had assembled in de. liberation, Mr. Waal), attached to the Embassy of Sir WILLIAM A'Cotinr, arrived in a chaise and four, with dispatches from Sir \Vll.l.lam A'CounT, at St. Lucar, from which place he had travelled in ten days.

The opinion (first stated in Tits Sus),, that the dispatches from Sir CILI.ItLEi STEWART. re. late to ►►n approaching negotiation, is strengthen ed by the arrival of the dispatches from Sir WILLIAM A'Cov►lT, and which, indeed, render it highly probable that a disposition to ne. gociate has been simultaneously manifested both by the French and Spanish Govern.

Both the Earl of LIVERPOOL and Mr. CANNING, when the resolution was taken to observe neutrality on the part of this country, repeatedly ex pressed their 'anticipation that, by perseverance in a firm, moderate, and strictly honourable course, observing, in our neutrality, the same rigid impartiality and inflexible good faith to both parties, the time probably would arrive in the course of the conflict, when the Belli gerents would look to England for the set tlement of their differences, and when she %vould have it in her power, by her di-in terested mediation, to render more essen tial services to the cause of general tranquil lity, and to that of the independence of nations and of the balance of power in Europe, than by rashly involving herself in the war, or by shelving an undue preference to either of the parties embarked in it.—We fervently hope that the moment for this godlike intervention, %%ith the consent of both the present combatants, has at length arrived. It is proper that we should add, that what we have written on this vital subject is founded upon presumptions, which, however, are so strong, and so well supported by various corroborative circumstances, as to leave little doubt upon our minds as to the accuracy of the conclusion, that negociations are about to be im mediately commenced. SUS-OFFICE, Two o'Cz.ocx. Mr. Secretary CANNING and Lord FHANC'IS CON YNGIIAM leave town this afternoon for Wind sor Lodge, in order to lay before His MAJI..,-ry the result of the deliberations of the Cabinet Council held yesterday. M. BEco, one of the Cabinet Messengerg, is held in readiness to depart for Spain with dis patches, by the Royal George steam-packet, which will be sent off forthwith. No Messenger has been sent with dispatches to Paris since the sitting of the Cabinet. ARRIVAL OF THE ROYAL GEORGE STEAM PACKET. Sir JOHN M. DOYl.ti, K.C.B. Mr. Paica, and Mr. CL.►Y, arrived last night in town, with dis patches for Government, and the Spanish and Portuguese Ambassadors, after a passage of eighty.four hours from Vigo to Plymouth, which place they left on Saturday night last. The following is all the intelligence which we have as yet been enabled to obtain by this conveyance. We fear that there is no room for doubting that Corunna and Vigo, as well as Fer rol, have fallen into the hands of the French.— C/CIIIDGA 15 said to have arrived in England by the Royal George, and to be now in London. [FROM A CORRESPONDENT.] Royal George, of Vigo, Aug. 1, 182$. We have just arrived from Coru n na with the Go vernor General Vigo and his Staff, he is appointed to succeed Gen. Rotnago here. Corunna is invested closely by the French troops, and is daily expected to fall ; the Burgos Militia, and some Biscayan troops of the line have hitherto defended it. The French General with whom I dined on Thursday ast a t Ferrol, which place they have had posses idol of for some days, has embarked a battering Itrain on board a French frigate, which blockades Corunna by sea, and which has already landed a sufficient number of cannon to mount the French batteries which occupy the heights commanding the town ; when I left, many persons had been, wounded, even in the streets, by the fire of the French musketry, so completely is the town at heir mercy. AuGusT 2.—General Quiroga and his Staff, who came with us from Comma, have just re. turned on board to sail with us for England.— Every thing is in the greatest confusion. Morillo is within 15 miles, at Ponte Vedra, joined by some French troops. lie will not listeu to any terms, and, as there are no troops here, the plac e must fall. Niorillo is, I understand, most anxious to take Sir IL. Wilson, who is here with several English Officers. The troops here cannot be relied on. Eigi.t ... iutictred which were sent ngainst MoriHo, tys 0 Mays ago, went over to him, and the Authorities are fearful that the remaining part may follow leir example. Vico, Aua. 3.—Sir R. Wilson has just engag ed a small British schooner in the Newfound land trade, to take himself, (.'apt. Erskine, and two or three others, who are still with him, to Cadiz. Thu few troops that remain here (about .2 )O) are now going to Bavonna (in Gallicia) view of rendering it defensible. Evt.ry boat in the harbour is pressed for this serrirf. , and a et guns in the citadel have been •sp;keci.-- The Governor-General Romago, his Lady, aud Aid-de-Camp, have just embarked on board the Royal George for England. Sir Robert Wilson's wound is almost well, but poor Colonel Light, although much better, is still in a state of great suffering at Corunna, and was not consi dered sufficiently convalescent to join Sir Robert here. It is supposed the French will have 5,000 troops to send to the army of the South by the fall of Corunna and Vigo. At a late hour this day we received no Ex press from Paris, which contains the following intelligence : ( Extract of a LOUT from Bayonne, dilly 31.) The afflicting news of Saragossa, which [ sent you the day before yesterday, is most part con
