EXPRgi4S PARTS. We have received by Express the Pilote of yesterday, and the Etoile of Sattirday. Both of these papers contain, under the date of " IViadrid, 16th inst.," the important decree issued 'on the stii at Andujar, by the Duke d'ANaouLtME, for the purpose of divesting the Madrid Regency of every shadow of authority. The Decree also ap pears in the Bayonne Journals of the lath. It was inserted in THE SUN of last Wednesday (tile 9,0 th) ., On the following day, in consequence of it% authenticity having been disputed by . several of our Contemporaries, we stated that we had received it from such a quarter as justified us in considering it as genuine, and indeed in believing that our copy of it had been received from the French Govern meet. Now that its authenticity has been esta blished beyond doubt, it can only be tegarded ay a conclusive proof that the French ate deter mined to bring the war at all events to a termin talon, and that they are even prepared to tie knowledge the Constitutional Gotertiment and, the Cortes, if they cannot otherwise effect their object immediately. 'rite Deefee f it is true, does not absolutely pronounce the dissolutioh of ' the Regency ; because circumstances might still arise to change the views of the Duke d'ArlootmEmE, in which case the Regency could be reinvested with such powers as would be suitable to his designs. On the other and, stripped, as they at present are, of their shuyt.lived authority, they can be dissolved 'at any period of the negociationi; without difficillth hand without the possibility of offering any re sistance. The foll Owing *are extras; is from the Papers received by our Express . From the. Pilote of ye streittry • ) ARMY OF , IIII3Py#NEI S.-4D1111), A T! , l. M.

We are not informed of the motives which led to this convention ; but thot..the convention was in fact concluded is matter of certainty.--It is probable that the suspension of hostilities has be'en occasioned by the expecta tion of both parties that the dispute is on the eve of adjustment at Cadiz, In our p'rectding Columns We bate given 01- tracts -from the Moniteur and other Paris Papers of Friday. The news contained in the dispatch of Marsind MONCEY, detail ing the battle fought against 111ILAs9 and I.4.onettA, was anticipated by our Express of Saturday. The more minute account now furnished, only renders it more evident that the French had suffered a severe defeat.— We have also Inserted in mir preceding oolumns an interesting " Diary "of the events at Coronna from the 2d to the 11th instant, inclusive'.

MEMOIRS of a YOUNG GREEK L4DY or, Madame PAuLtwg -ADELAIDE ALEXANDRE PAYAM, versus His Most .- serefie Highness the REIGNINtI PRINCE 'of SAXE COPOUnG. one of the most interesting .works that were ever presented to the public, and is cal culated to excite great attention throughout all the world. It contains such a history . of cruelty and persecution as can only excite indignation and horror againit the author of such detestable perfidy as the fair relator unfolds. It seems'imptissible to doubt the truth of this narrative, as the names of the Grand Duke CONSTANTIIVE, his wife and sister,. Prince Ltorot.o, and other persons now living, are mentioned, and may be re ferred to if the lamentable story is founded •on falsehood. The character of the reignin g Prince of SAxE-Conovao, of his brother PrinceLEOPOLD, and their connexions, appear in so odious a light, that it is quite astonishing that suth narrative should be suffered to conie be fore the world. If the statements are true, tha Prince and his brother can never she* their faces in society again. The story seems to be supported by authentic documents. It appears that, after horrible persecutions, attempts were made to poison the heroine and her child. The work must be contradict ed, if possible ; but, according to account, the whole of the anecdotes are in circulation all over the Continent, and it does not appear that the Lady has been accused of any misconduct that can justify even neglect of herself and her son, much less of the shock ing treatment which she experienced. We repeat that never MU a work of private distress presented to the public more strongly calculated to excite interest and universal sympathy. — There are two prints in this work, one representing the fair writer and her son, and the other the reigning Prince of SAxs-Conouno, the alledged author of all her misfortunes.
