PAR IS PAPERS. ( From Me Done.) ESTREMADURA. TALAVERA, Derr. 4.---Brigadier Larochejaque lin, after four months constant marching and very painful services, rested for some days on the banks of the Tagus, until he should pass that riveria proceed ton Truxillo and attack the Con atitutional troops of Estremadura. On the 2'9tb ofSeptember he learned that the Constitution-, 4166 were moving on the Tagus,and he marched bynediately with the first regiment of Hussars :rad , the lit Light Infantry 'I - 4, the evening he arrived on the Ta g us, and wair informed that the Constitutiontrlists'had been indeavouring to pass it, and had been repulsed by. General Quesada's advanced guard .stationed at.the ford. Next day the General was joined by the 2.d.battaliou of the 7th Light, and the 7th tegiment of Horse Chasseurs. He ordered the river to be ,passel, which was executed by the cavalry and the artillery at the ford, and by the 7th light by the pontoon. The enemy occupied a valley 'with a very narrow and rapid outlet, the '.defence of which was easy. The General having 'cansed this position to be turned by the Volti geurs of the 7th, the enemy did not attempt to maintain it, and the brigade, after driving before ','Prerrt a few posts, dehouched into the extensive ,plain on the road to Truxillo. For the first time since the opening of the campaign, the brigade had the satisfaction of see !ing the enemy ranged in order of battle in the :plain. General Palencia had drawn up in the ,plain eight tine squadrons, consisting of cuiras siers and heavy cavalry. His right was protect-, .04 by lofty precipitous heights, where he had : posted a considerable number of , infantry in am .buscade, among the almost inaccessible rocks. On his left he had two battalions of infantry ; ,protected by a deep ravine, and three pieces of artillery detended the front of his line. In this "position he offered battle to General Larocheja- Emboldened by the superiority of his numbers, and persuaded that our light cavalry could not ',compete with his cuirassiers and heavy cavalry, t ) k had forgotten that he had to do with French. General Larochejaquelin, having reconnoitred 'the enemy's position, ordered Colonel !Amok to carry with the greatest celerity the heights which •covered his right. The Colonel executed this order with such vigour and promptitude, that notwithstanding the extreme difficulties of the ground, he soon gained the summit of the posi ' don in which the infantry in ambuscade kept up ..a close fire. Though he had at first only about a score of carbiniers with him, he made them esarge the . enemy, clambering over rocks ; and .• they put to flight a whole battalion, by which they had for a moment. been almost surrounded. General Larochejaquelin viewed the field with .an attentive eye, and .was waiting for the 7th s light beterning dispotteable, that he. might direct "it . .asguinstahe enemy's left flank, while he.,, pro. bahly-impatient of -Infection, broke his order of .'battle, and formed in columns to advance to the attack through a 'confined position. The .General perceiving• this manteuvre, by which the enemy - 14 St the superiority of the extension of this line, .44 not hesitate to order an immediate The Constitutional cavalry engaged with great order and coolness ; they relied on their cuiras. siers. Their sabres were crossed, and the tight. ing was man to man. Colonel Simonetta, of the „44e Ilussa.rs, and Colonel Wimplien, of the .7th Chasseurs, charged at the head of their regiments ,• with all the vigour and intrepidity which belongs to Frenchmeo. The Lancers had orders to knock riff ••tho ' cuirassiers' helmets, in order that they might tre sabred on the head. The Constitutional cavalry,:unable to resist the valour of the French regiments, turned round, -was pursued, sabred, and completely routed, with the loss of one piece of cannon, one cassotm, and a number of killed und'prisooers. While this was passing in the .plain, Colonel Lamont rallied his regiment on the first height which he had carried, and posted Commandant cla Blirancourt with his battalion in reserve and iu observation. lie afterwards pushed forward with his first haiallion, and with the bayonet drove the. enemy's infantry successively from a second and third position similar to the first. The enemy defended the ground foot to foot behind the rocks, and did not abandon them till the mo ment that our troops surmounted them by climb. in g... At this point the enemy had the 14th and 24th hattaliotia of the Line, end a battalion of Grenadiers and Voltigenrs, who made the prin. • cipnl defence..

It is impossible to describe the effeet which this happy nerve has aitnultaneously pro s duced throughout France, The. stones (testified for the triumphal arch, without the harrier of h'iitoile, and which svere scattered about in 'the vicinity, are now being collected near the structure. Several workmen are even employed in clearing the ground at the basement for the erection of the scaffolding which is required for its completion. [From the Journal des Debats.] POLAND, WAIISAW, SEPT. 25.—Among the produce of our manufactories, we observe in the present exhibition several piano-fbrtes of Leszczyaski and llucchbolz, coloured paper, writing and printing paper of Solec, earthenware of the fabric of Trztniclow, astronomical watches of Krantz, carpets of the fabric of Warsaw, iron utensils of Suchedniow, arms, &c. There has been a manufactory of arms at Konski since 1021 ; but still the Oovernment must procure from foreign countries every thing, with the exception of arms, which is necessary for the equipment of the army ; even cannons, and cloth for the uniforms of the troops. We are in want even of powder, not withstanding the abundance of salt-petre. It is known that all Poles, without distinction of rank, birth, or religion (even Jews), are subject to the Conscription from the age of 20 to 30. A law has been passed, which exempts from military service young persons prosecuting their studies, or engaged in scientific and manufacturing pursuits, the eldest sons of families, and the only sons of functionaries of the state. The conscripts may procure substitutes. Pints, Oe'r. 15.—The Etoik ofyasterday repeats the article in the Journal des Debate of the 12th of October; but it repeats it without following the example of the lifoniteur, without say ing that they took it from our Journal ; nay, more, retrench. ing from the passage all the generous sentiments which it con tains. Undoubtedly these suppressions were made uninten tionally on the part of the Editors of the Etoile, apparently because they had not sufficient room to insert the whole article; bat it is unlucky that those passages only should have been suppressed, which aflbrd obvious topics of comment to the malevolent. The catalogue of books sold at the Easter Fair at Leipsic contains a list of 2,957 German works. We must add to this number 126 French works, 62 Danish, and 50 Polish, which were not printed in Germany. (Frarn'the Constitutional:l.) Of what importance is it that 111. de NlBele and M. de Cha teaubriand feel the necessity of a system, which, by means of a national represetitation, furnishes the Governtnent with men, money, information, and the support of public opinion, if nei ther their conduct nor their declarations are avowed ; if, while , the Illoniteisr repeats their professions of faith, other Mini sterial Journals repeat only a part of it, and suppress all that portion which is favourable to the principles of liberty and moderation. The author of the Manifesto published on Sunday brings for ward with address a circumstance, witch, as he says, connects the expedition to Spain with a great amelioration of the law of nations. The ptivateering system was proscribed, and this' great progress of civilization belonga to the last war. This is no doubt a laudable change in the legislation of war; but will they reckon also as a part of the progress of civilization the annulling of debts contracted and capitulations conceded ? It will be said that privateering was prohibited in 1823 ; but it will be said also, that loans contracted in the face of all the Cabineta and with their consent, have been publicly a n - • nulled ; it will be said that sums lent to the Spanish Govern ment, employed in expences indispensable under every form of Government, and of which the King himself, though re puted a prisoner, has consumed a part, us well as all the other authorities, that these sums lent have been denied to the lenders under the pretext of a defect of forms. It will be taid that a Jurisprudence had been established in Europe; that by this Jurisprudence all the debts of the Government were hereditary, and transmissible from one Government to another, whatever might be its character ; that this had been admitted to be the only legitimate principle in a moral, and the only practicable one in a political point of view, for it is the only principle which can secure credit at a period when all States exist only by the main tenance of credit. Yes, it will be said, that in spite of this JUris . prudence and these principles the debts contracted by the Spanish Government of 11120, have been disavowed by that of 11123, in the face of two French Ministers, who kept our vim risua and all-powerful armies In Spain tErout the Courier .Francais.) STUTTOARD, OCT. o.—The last number of the Annular Universelirs Poi:apes, published here, contains an article which has excited . public attention—the detailed criticism pre sented by the Minister of Baden, Baron Blittendsdorf, to the Diet, on his return from Vienna, concerning the journal called the Otservaleur Allcnuznd. On this report this Journal was suppressed by a Decree of the Diet, dated May 30, 1023. Be fore this publication this Decree was not known. All the passages which gave displeasure at Vienna are quoted, and ac companied by observations of the Baron Reporter. Several of the latter have excited general mirth. PHAN X. - FORT, OCT. B.—Before quitting Petcrsburgh lately, the Minister fur Foreign /Whirs, Count Nesselrode, had ad dressed a Circular to all the Russian Agents at the different Courts, enjoining them to explain to the various Governments the motives of the interview between his Master and the Em peror of Austria. According to the Ministerial Note, this in tervie* 'has no political object, being only intended to draw still closer the bonds of amity which now connect these two Sovereigns . . This official communication of the Bowden Mi nister proves that it has became in sonic measure necessary to andel) , the people as to the fears which the interviews, commu nications, and Congresses, of these later times have excited._., The Note of Count Nesselrode has travelled about a long time at Pranktbrt before reaching its destination and has only been made known to the public at a very late period and by chance. Baron Anatett, Minister Plenipotentiary to the Diet, first of all carried this Note to the residence of M. Munch Billingliansen. Preiddent of,the•Diet, at present absent, and who has left M. G ohz, the Pru ss f an !Minister, to be his substitute. The latter wain the country, whither the Russian Minister repaired, without finding hire however, lie having gone on a journey._ A t length M. Pfefl'el, the Bavarian Minister, and third Presi. dent, received the communication, but did nothing more than order it to' be inserted in the Protocol of the Diet. ..... OcT.. 15.--It appears that the part played by the Moniteur was terminated with the siege of Cadiz. An official :Report on the events, which preceded, accompany, and fol. lowed the arrival of the King of Spain at Port Saint Mary was expected. • It has not appeamd, however, and pro. bably' will not. Henceforth, • according to all appearance, the public will be reduced, for its !copy/ledge of events in Spain, to the versions of the 'secondary Ministerial .lournals whose silly exaggerations or gross contradictions we have so frequentlypointed out. The Elolle receives first the communi. cation of the dispatches which come to the Ministry, .What may have given a preference to it over the Moniteeros difficult to diaeover. There is not an honest citizen who is not afflieted et seeing official articles in the same page with others, which, from their thoughts and expressions, no Uovernment would dare to avow. .The . news • given yesterday evening by the Etalle, is much more in harmony with that which preceded it, than with the hopes and conjectures which the last Proclamation of the Re. gency called forth. ft was not credited that the remption given to nallasteros would have any consequence for any other person hut for hhascif ; but it appears that the displiastire felt by Fer dinand at the sight of this ci-dolant Constitutional Chief, has induced him to spare himself by a general measure, , all such unplcitisant fvelings in future. The measure is extensive and deckiye, for it reaches even the officers of the militia; the banishment which it pronounces in perpetual—the distance 15 leagues; and by these means all such disagreeable Meetings are rendered impossible. There Is, however, an exception tor officers confirmed by the Regency. Ballasteros is not in this cane, since the King refused, to see him ; Ballasterox had not then recognised the Regency, and had not been recognised and confirmed by it, as Suss been said. Ballasteros, however, pre. served the connuandof his tinny he remained in possession of his Irenours and of' his functions; it was therefore only by the French army that lie was confirmed and acknowledged.— This r.2cognitiod and confirmation sere of no value to' him now, therefore, since the King refuses to bee! him. The news tar. rived Lucy seems or a nature to give rise to several questions, and to bring forward severe!, revelations. livery thing will no doubt he cleared up, and in the mean time we will quote the hula, A traveller just arrived from Bayonne, says the Me tier al llordelafr, tells us that, when the , news of Ferdinand's arrival at the head-quarters of the Duke of Angouleine was known there, several prisonern were willing to submit and remain at ISayonn,',. They were told it was not sufficient to acknowlekte the 'legitimate ilovernment, but that they must also return to Spain: This latter condition seemed not to be agreeable to them. Of the journals said yesterday that on last Saturday, • the edit on of' the complete works of Diderot, in 22 vols., was seized at the bookseller's, M. firiere. This new act has caused much consternation among the booksellers, whose speculatioas lately have chiefly been among reprintS of philosophical workS. Fortunately, this new attempt has not been yet extended to the Sale of books of this class. The journal in question seems The Public Prosecutor ordered the seizure, in Consequence of an index made to the edition, and did nut solicit any measure against the comple* edition of the Phi. losopher, which is to e found in all the bookseller's shops, and the new publication of which has caused a considerable expence. PORTUGAL. Extract qf a Letter dated Liston, Oct. 2.) The Hussar frigate leaves this a t noon to-day, with dispatches from the British Minister Sir Edward Thornton. Her departure is sudden and unexpected. After the splendid ceremony of the investiture of his Faithful Majesty with the Order of the - Garter on the 23d ult., there was a grand dinner at the Palace, and on the King of Por tugal's health being drank, all standing, the ships of war fired a royal salute, and the same compli ment attended that of the King of England. At 8 o'clock, a signal being given from the Palace, the British ships showed their lights, and in an instant they were all in one blaze of illumination. Rockets, blue lights, and port-fires, were let off by the ships. The forts were firing salutes a full hour. A grand ball and supper concluded the evening. On the 24th the King and Royal Family (having previously bespoken the opera and ballet) announced their intention of going to the theatre ; and, out of compliment, all those who were present at the investiture attended.- 1 The King's box is 20 feet in width, in the centre of the house, facing the stage; it had a rich cur tain before it, which was withdrawn on the en trance of the Royal Family, who wore partially cheered on their arrival and departure. On the left side sat Don Juan the King, next to him her Majesty the Queen, next Don Miguel their son, and the three Princesses. The opera was frivo lous and stupid. On the 28th, arrived the Naiad frigate, and yesterday came the Seringapatain frigate, which has augmented the squadron of British ships of war from one line-of-battle ship and two frigates to the former and four frigates ; and while they remain here no disturbance is apprehended, but on their departure a dreadful commotion is ex pected. Yesterday a grand dinner was given by Sir E. Thornton and Sir G. Nayler to the Portuguese Government, on board the hussar; 100 sat down to dinner; the ladies came on board in full dress. About eight dancing began, and was kept up till four this morning. On Friday next the King will go on board the Revenge to view the ship. Every day the English are showing him some ci vility. FROM THE FRANKFORT PAPERS. PETERSDURGH, SEPT. 23.—The fete of his Majesty the Emperor was celebrated with great splendour, at Moscow, on the 10th of this month. His Majesty attended Mass in the Cathedral of Ospensk, reviewed the troops, and after a stay of six days proceeded on his journey to Orell. The hurricane at Riga, on the oth of this month, destroyed the bridge over the Duna, and did great damage to the shipping in the harbour. COPENHAGEN, OCT. 4.—iiis Majesty has sign ed a decree, dated Aug. 16, permitting the irn portation of foreign raw sugar into the Kingdom of Denmark, for consumption, from other parts of Europe. The duty on brown augur is two rix dol tars thirty-three schillings in silver for 1001bs.; and on white, three rix-dollars sixty-two schil- Hags for 1001bs. The Naiad corvette, Capt. Uldall, which ar rived here on the 21st ult. from its station in the West Indies, had on board Lieutenant- Colonel Von Scholton, Director of the Customs. —He brought the agreeable news that good crops may be expected this season, after they have failed for seven successive years. On the other hand, some uneasiness was felt last the reports of emancipation disseminated from Eng land should cause disturbances among the negroes, who are well treated by us. A Chart of the whole South Coast of Ireland has just been published officially. FRANKFORT, SEPT. 10 . --Letters from Odessa of the 22t1 Sept., say they have there accounts from Constantinople of the 16th,accordittg to which people were very impatient to see whether the Porte would actually realise the concessions made in the conference of the 30th of August,by the Reis Effendi to Lord Stranford. In general, however, it was believed that the Divan will perform what the Reis Effendi has promised ; the entrance of the two Emperors having excited a considerable sensa tion in Constantinople; and we are convinced that those concessions will suffice to restore the diplo matic relations between the Porte and Russia. The Government continues to spread reports, as usual, of dissensions among the Creeks. Mean time the same barbarous warfare continues, and in Rhodes the most dreadful cruelties have been practised by the troops of Hassan Pacha, who rebelled against hint. Above 3,000 defenceless Christians w ere dragged into slavery. Dumtentals..—TitE IVraTititn.—Up to yesterday the we:t ier in this quarter was again as had as bad could be . t raining ,ore or less every night and daY, with no interval sufficient to al. !ow the farmer to carry home a single stook. On Friday even ng we had several vivid flashes orlightning, folloWed by hail no wavy that. the ground in some places was covered to the,depth of half an inch. Th e co n sequence o f a ll t hi s h as been great anxiety on the ,pert of the husb a nd m an, a nd a ddi t i ona l expenee in the ingather in g of the crops. One farmer iu this neighbour. hood says, that the vicissitudes of the weather will cost him ten pounds extra to his workers this season, while the frequent handling of the crops, and particularly potatix: oats will, in some places, leav e as muc h gra i n i n t h e fields as would almost be sufficient to sow them. Around this town almost all the grain is carried excepting oats; butup the country there is not only touch to lead, but a good deal to cut. In speaking of the weather, our Kirkcudbright correspondent gays, " agreat ro pportion of the cro p i n thi s ne i g hb our h oo d remains in the field, and another week of such weather as the past will injure it inaterially--nay, I may almost say, destroy it altogether." Yes terday, however, and last night, were quite dry ; and as t hi s morning looks p rom i s i ng , we shou ld imagine there will be a good deal of leading in the afternoon. A few more days of good weather will do much to silence all coMplaints on the subject of the harvest. In Dumfries, and most of the towns in Callaway, the plus of grain are merely nominal at present.— (Dumfries Courier.)

Captain PARRY arrived at the Admiralty this morning, having left the ships at Whitby, a well—having lost only three men by disease, and one killed by accident. We understand that he has completely deter, mined the North East Cape of America, which be doubled, and proceeded about two degrees westward in a Strait, which unfortunately be came so narrow, and so choaked with Islands, as to block up the passage with permanent ice, and to render it utterly impossible for the ships ,o proceed, though the Polar Sea was only a very short distance froth them. The situation ol the Cape is about 69f d eg . N. Th ey met with a great number of very intelligent Esquimaux, from whom they procured Geographical Sketches of this part of America, which were afterwards verified by the ships and boats.

So long ago as the 24th of last month we had the gratification of announcing to the Com mercial World the appointment of British Con suls to several of the South American States.— More than one of our contemporaries thought fit to deny, at the time, that Government had ac tually adopted a measure of so great importance to the commercial interests of this country, as well as to the independence and security of the ci-devant SpanishColonies,which have de facto solved their connection with Old Spain. Even those persons who placed reliance on our accuracy, as to an event, the truth of which we had so positively stated, and the denial of which we immediately met by another positive reassurance that the Consuls were actually appointed, began to waver in their confidence when they found that the official noti. fication in the London Gazette was so long de layed, and in particular when they took into their Calculation the possible change in the policy of our Cabinet respecting South America, which might have been produced by the downfal of the Spanish Constitutional Government, and by the Decree of FERDINAND which pretends to annul, with all the other acts of that Government, the convention concluded between Spain and the state of Buenos Ayres, for the recognition of the independence of the latter Power. All apprehension, as well as all doubt upon this interesting subject, is now, however, set at rest by the subjoined notification of the ap. pointment of the Consuls, by Mr. PLANTA., Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The Gazette of this night will doubtless publish the appointments in the usual official form, together with the names of the Gentlemen to whom they have been given. FOREIGN OFFICE, OCT. 17, 1823. GENTLEMEN,--I am directed by Mr. Secretary C.OININ 4 to acquaint you, in reference to your application for protection to the trade of his Majesty's subjects with the Provinces of Spanish America, that his Majesty's Government have determined to send out forthwith Consular Agents to the several Ports and Places in those Pro vinces, iu which, as they have learnt from the best inquiry, British interests are at present most extensively concerned.

It is as we supposed :-11Imt considers further attempts at resistenco on his part inefficacious. Bar celona has probably surrendered before now. Ceuta and Tarifa have already opened tip►ir gates ; and the Commandant of Ciudad Rodrigo only awaits a confirmation of the KING'S orders to admit a French garrison. FERDINAND ap pears to be proceeding by slow stages towards his capital. The Duke of ANDODLEME is not expected to return to Paris till the end of De• cember. [From the Etoile of Thursday .2Vfight.) XEnzs, OCT. s.—The Junta of this town gay° last night, in the Mansion House, a brilliant Ball, at which were assem bled persona of the highest distinction. The following morn ing, after Mass, his Majesty and the Queen, and the Royal Family, went to the Church of St. Dominique to pay homage to the image of our Lair. There will be to-day a general LERRIJA, OCT. 6.—. His Majesty, with his children, who left Xeres at seven o'clock in the morning, arrived within our walls at eleven o'clock the same day. GRACIA, PLATY OP BARCELONA, OCT. 3.—Within these few days a French Colonel was sent with a flag of truce to Barcelona, taking with him more than 200 letters, written by the prisoners of Liens to their friends at Barcelona. lie also informed them of the taking of Figueras. MATAI2O, OCT. 7.--This morning at nine o'clock Arrived courier, bringing the news to Martha' Aloneey that Feplinanci was set at liberty. Immediately the artillery was fired to an. nounce this joyful result. This great event must be known at Barcelona, and it is not doubted but the great mass of the people in that town, with the exception of the disposition of the Governor Rotten, will declare for the King. But a few days since that absolute and criminal man exacted an extra. ordinary contribution. Mina, the Captain-General, says he will surrender when Ferdinand commands him. PAnts, 0cT.16.--His Royal Highness the Duke of Angou leme did not enter Cadiz. His Royal Highness will not return to Paris until the beginning of December. The Duke of Vautadour, aid.de.catu. to the Duke of An. gouleme, arrived this morning at Paris from the head-quarters. Afarshal Lauriston, on , his setting off for the siege of Lerida, left General Quinsana governor of Pampeluna and Sebastian, in the command of these two important fortresses. Prince Talleyrand, who arrived at Paris the day before yesterday, after having hiving paid a visit to the King and the Royal Family, departs again to-morrow for Valencay. railscript.--Ceuta and Tarifa have opened their gates to obey the orders of the King of Spain. The Governor of Ciudad Codrigo has demanded a suspension of arms, to wait for the King's orders. The troops of the line in Barcelona are crying out to submit to the Regency. General Curial has received a letter from Rotten, stating, that in a short time Barcelona will be in our power. ( From the Pilote of yesterday,) The ilfemorial Bard-dais contains a Letter from Madrid, Bth October, containing the following passage : " We learn that in consequence of some disclosures by Riego, Ballasteros has been arrested, and that Riego has said, since he must die, he will divulge every thing. We also learn, that Ballasteros presented himself, with his Etat Major, to the King, and that he was very indifferently received ; but this in terview took place before the order was given to arrest him, in consequence of the confessions of Riego. This is the report. L'lndhatc'tr, of Bordeaux, gives also a letter from Madrid of the same date, which gives the Decree of Ferdinand VII. Of the Ist OctobeN published at Port St. Mary, and adding, " The King declares besides, that all the Loans made by he Constitutional 6ovemment are regarded as void, and of no value." The frigate Joan. d'Are Lit Martinique the 20th August, with a convoy of 10 sail ; entered Brest the 9th of October.
