LONDON,
MONDAY, AUGUST 18, 1823.

EXPREISS FROM PARIS.
We have received by Express the Pilote of
yesterday, and the Etoik of Saturday.—No con.,
firmation had arrived in Paris of the alleged
liberation of the King of SPAIN, nor of the dis:
soldtion and flight of the Cortes. The allega-
tions df the Bayonne Telegraphic Dispatch, there.
fore,are entirely discredited,nnd were considered
in Paris as nothing more than gross fabrications.
'The Etoile contains an article from Andregar, of
the 10th, which states that "the moderate party" its
Cadiz is phidowinant—that the measures pursued
for the security of the King's person had been
relaxed,---hnd that the Duke d'Arwout.EmE.
was about .to travel post to Port Saint Mary.
—A private letter received express this morn-
ing from Paris, by one of the first Mercan-
tile Houses in the City, states that the Duke
d'ANnota.ratE has actually set off from his head-
quarters in a carriage and four, accompanied
by two of his Generals, and that his destination
was fo'r Cadiz, near which it was arranged

that he ,should have an interview with several
Members or the Cortes. We cannot vouch for the
accuracy of this important intelligence. It Is,

however, in all probability authentic ; and, in our
opinion, seems to be only one of the many indi-
cations of an approaching accommodation between
the present belligerents.

(Fran the Pik& if Yesterday.)

PARIS Ago. 15.--The confirmation of the
news given as semi-official, by the illonitcur, has
been waited for with great impatience. Two'
days have now elapsed, and nothing has arrived
to 'confirm the dispatch from the Commandant of
Barcelona. We must now consider the
intelli-
gence of the embarkation of the Cortes, and
of the cessation of hostilities, as void of
foundation, or at least premature. Never-
theless, the fervour of the war appears to
relax, and the diplomatic employs begin to dis-
cover themselves. One of them wishes England
to offer again her mediation ; and this offer has
contributed to the activity of the uegociation.
Others wish, on the contrary, that Greet Bri-
tain should have nothing to do with it. The:

reality of a m3gociation is generally heliesoii.
It is reported al certain on 'Cha»ze, that
His Royal Highness the Duke d'Augouieme set
off post from l3aylen to Cadiz.
According to the information arrived to-day,

a Conititntional movement, in which the King
has taken a favourable• part, has taken place -at}

Lisbon.

It. it also stated that, at the request of the nli•
nisterila, *and in the name of the General,
an English squadron, composed of 6 vessels of
war, has sailed in great haste, and is now in the

Tagus.
• Although affairs are going on with greet rapi-
dity in Andalusia, Catalonia continues to present
the same aspect. Barcelona is not yet invested.
Every where we experiencevery obstinate
re-
sistance. It appears that in that part of the
Peninsula the campaign has only begun.
The garrisons of the places besieged make fre-
quent sorties. The towns are provisioned for a

long time, and the inhabitants fight with zeal
with the soldiers.

PERPIGNAN, AUG. 7.—On the 29th of last
month Marshal Moncey left Igualada, and took
the direction of Cervera with a strong column of
infantry, cavalry, and artillery. Baron d'Eroles
seconds his movement. The Constitutionalists,
who occupy Tarrega, Angletola, and Verda,
with a division of 6 or 7,000 men, abandoned
these points the moment they were informed of
the movement of the Marshal. They left Yenta
the 30th at night for Mont Blanc.
BLOCKADE OF ST. SEBASTIAN, AUG. 3.—Mar.:
shag Lauriston is going to establish his bead=
quarters at Toloso.

•
It is reported that ten thousand men will tie
assembled under the walls of Pampeluna, to
commence operations. It is thought the treiiches
will be opened by the middle of Septembey.
The Constitutional Chief, Chapalangara, has
entered Lodega, where he demanded provisions.
A French detachment, on the receipt of the in.
forMation, going- to Tudela, received orders td
hasten to Alfaro. There is no news froni Corunna.
We only know that the heavy artillery haS been
transported from Ferrol to before that place; to
establish a breaching battery.
[From the Etoile of Saturday.]

GRAND HEAD-QUAllTERS.—(Extraordinary Courier.)

ANDG'JAn, Alio. 10.—We are Imre since yes-
terday. A Courier coming from before Cadiz
brings us the following intelligence :---4` The
King is no more in the power of thaExaltados.
The moderate party, over which Baliasteros and
Morillo have great influence, has the sway.
They permit the people of Cadiz to express
their attachmuot to the King ; and Ferdinand
can traverse the town as be thinks proper. The
Duke d'Angouleme quits us at Cerd era, and sets
off post for Cadiz. The Prince was at Port St.
Marie on the 16th.

General Oude is sent to reconnoitre the position
of Cadiz. The rest of the army will follow.—
Zayas sends flags of truce. ,A regiment of his '1
corps (cavalry) has joined our army. The re;.,
mainder will probably do the same to-morrow;
Pia's, AUG. 10.---The last news received
froaa,Cadiz is of the 6th. The King was well,
as well as all the Royal Family ; but things are'
not so fur advanced as was expected. The news
of the release of the King was premature;
A letter from Madrid announces positively, that
General Ballasteros has appeared at head-quar-
ters to present his respects to the Duke d'An4
gouleme.

BILIMA, AUG. 10.--'l'lta iPr
.nce of Holieniolie
returned the day before yesterday from his
journey to the Mountains of Santander; and set
off again yesterday for Vittoria: no has taken
new measures to form the siege of Santona:

'We received the following intelligence this
day from a highly respectable Correspondent at
Paris :

The Cortes had, in conjunction with the
KING and the Governor of Cadiz, dispatohNt a
courier with a carriage mid four horses.to meet;
the Duke D'Almouttstti in thier to hasten
his' arrival at that place, where every thing
was arranged for a full and peaC'eable settlel
'ment of all differences ; the KING and his family
were not allowed to quit Cadiz, but Were at per-
fect liberty in the town.i'
Another Correspondent assures its, front
the same quarter, that the whole business,
so fur as regards f►ghting, is at a i end, and
that nothing remains but the presence of the
Duke.to put the finishing stroke,to the arrange-
ment. We do not ourselves, of course, vouch
for the authenticity of these reports.
