DAILY

.gOracts ,From iltd,plorning Papers, July 19.

[THE TIMES.).
Our extracts ,from the French Papers of Wed-
.
uesday, 'and Spanish Papers pp to the 13th, are
fraught"with higher interst than has belonged to
any coMmunicationi received through the same
channel since the removal of the King and
Cortes to the present seat of Government. Mo-
Alto's defection from the Spanish cause is con-
firmed, and the circumstances now detailed are
such as convict him, not merely; of desertion, but
of a degree of duplicity and treachery most dis
graceful to his forma' reputaiion. It appears as
it' his affected kiadness to, Quiroga, in furnishing
'that patriotic officer with funds to convey him to
a: foreign country, arose from 'a fear of his pre-
sence, rather than from solicitude for his safety ;
and Morillo's declarations of hostility to the in-
vader were no more than snares for the deception
and seduction of his troops. We are informed
by direct advices, dated the 13th, from Co.
runny, that the traitor has delivered up Lugo to
the enemyi and joined them with 1,000 of
his troops. Some armistice or agreement
had, it is probable, taken place between
Bourck, the French General, and Morn), before
the surrender of Lugo, as it.ll announced in the
Journal des Debats that the former had suspended
his operations, and Was not to recommence them
before the sth inst. In the mean time, Quiroga
has the command of the Spanish troops at Co-
runna, and is seconded by our brave country-
man, Sir Robert lsou. The Governor, Senor
'Vigo, is resolved on resistance. Ills wife arrived
iu England by the vessel which brought 'these
advices. In other parts of the Peninsula the
`rnilitary operations of the Spaniards have as.
slimed a vigorous character. A dispatch from
Moncey describki an engagement before the
walls of b'arcelona on the Bth instant, which
was evidently well contested, sharp, and bloody;
anti in which, to the mind of any man familiar
with the spirit of French military dispatch
writing, the account of the Marshal conveys an
assurance that his troops were handled more
roughly than he chooses to admit. A few more
such actions would probably sicken the block-
ading force of this new duty.

[NEW TIMES.]
The Expresses received yesterday brought ac-
counts from Paris up to Wednesday evening. The
followiu are the prices of the Funds at the close
of busitiess on that day :--•
French 5 per Cent: . - 91 0
. • . Exchange - 25 70'
. . '•i Three Months 26 50
Neapolitan Eon as - - - - 70
• • Spanish- Bonds . - - . • . 30i
Yesterday WaS the settling day in the Britiidi
Funds, and sotne slight variation was produced
in the prices upon'that account. There has not,
however, been received tiny politicatintelligence'
Which could have an unfavourable influence ;
and the alteration, in )rice between yesterday
and the day before was only about i' per Cent.
Consols closed at BVil, exclusive of the Dividend,
for the August' Acpunt.—The follbwiirg was
flooded about es' theoPrdspectus of a Loan for the
Cortes !!! The agents for its Management are
said to be Messrs: Bullet,' (brothers) 'and Co.
.4,A Loaner 1,275,0001; sterling, or 15 per cent. on the sect'.
4ty of, eight and, a half millions sterling in certificates of mites,
deposited in a London banking house, to be raised on deben-
tbres to bearer, 'Who has the option either to receive certifiCates
' of mates at the price of. 32 per cent: on payment of'a farther
sum. of 17 per cent. et any time before the Ist November next,
Or to btt repaid the 15 per cent. with interest thereon at' 5 per
cent. per annum, the certificates on which the advance is spect-
finally Junk, renaming deposited as a security for the repay.,
ment. In failure whereof, the holders of e Debentures to
have the corresponding Certificates delive' ' --'' p to them with-
out paying any further for the rooms
same. Th , forthe
ilfts,
above 15 per cent. are as follow .—Si:x per ent. immediately
' ?our 'per Cent. 30th August; Five per Cent. 30th September.
Discount Five per Cent. per annum for earlier paymtht. The
wototed Bill and,Orders on Messrs. *nudes will be taken In
pliMen.t of the Fifteen per Cent."
'We need ' hardly' say that this scheme was re.
celted with 'derision. Ax, to the Idea of any
money being raked by it for the use of . the
Cortes, it is too absurd to' merit it moment's con-
sideration. That wise and patriotic hotly has
probably ceased to exist,-or will fie extinct in a
very few days ; and even if the former loans to
them shouldt,jtercafter be reCogniiedoobody• can
be stupid enough to suppose that 'a loan now
raised by the traitors who deposed their King,
will 'ever be a'eknowledged as valid by that King or
his faithful subjects. ' The only effect which this
idle rumour of a Loan seemed, to produce
was' a fallln the price of Spanish Bonds, which
closed yesterday at nil,. ColOmbian Bonds,. on
the contrary, experienced a slight advance in
consequence of the surf' :;rider of Maracaibo to the
independents,' and or the report that the Royalist
General Morales' had 'been taken prisoner 'by
General Paez after a severe battle, On the latter
.--
part of this story ,sorne doubts were entertained,
and the Bonds returned to 'nearly their former
prices., The'Scrip of the French Loan is rather
lower; after having been in the 'course of the
day at iIL„. it closed at LI premium.

[m alit PotiT4
"We receiVoll lust night, by Aprelio) Fro,d,
Papers to the 'Nth inst. They throw sonw light
uvon th events which/have occurred in Galicia,
and show that although Morino persisted in his
opposition to the Cortes, he was equally hostile,
to the invaders of his country. All the Journals
abound with contradictory statements upon that
subject, and the Quotidienne, Intich against its
custom, contains an account Which seems to unite
probability with truth and consistency. It is as
follows The departure of Quiroga for Co-
rump had been announced, and such was in
reality the intention of that Commander when
Genera Moriilo published his Proclamations ;
but having been informed, almost :It the-same time,
of the new decision taken by the Cortes, by which
the exercise of the Royal authority'was restored
to the King Ferdinand, he conceived that Mo..
rillo would retract his resolution, and•hastened
to announce in an Order of the Day, the reinte-
gration of Ferdinand, which altered the deter.
mination of several officers whir, were preparing
to join Morino. Considerable desertion from
both corps was the consequence) as well as a

• '
very sharp altercation between the two Chiefs.l
General Morino, liar from retracting his for-
mer decision, and convinced besides that the
Cortes would 'not forgive his declaration against
them, published a new address to his-'sol-
diers, exhorting them' to maintain the strict-
est discipline. On learning, this, Qniroga
.threw off all appearance ofsubjection,and filled
his general orderi with the most furious decla-
mations against the Serviles. It is said that Mo.
rillo has sent in a new flag of truee, and
.that
General .Bourke haS suspended hiS march until
he should have received fresh orders from the
Prince Generalissimo." New the proclamation
tiort to Which. the Quotidienne alludes, is giVen in
the Consthutionnet, and though it certainly is hos-
'tile to the Cortes, it is not friendly to the enemy,
as the following passages* will show Mean
while excesses of another kind are committed
with fury in the places occupied by the French,
or subjected to the Madrid Regency. The de-
thronement of the King is assumed as a pretence
to persecute all those who wear the name of
Liberals. Their persons are pursued, their pro:
party confiscated, and party spirit Spares neither
the wives nor the innocent children of the indi-.
victuals whom it is intended to sacrifice." Surely
such a picture of the blessings which the French
and the 'Madrid 'Regency bestow upon those parts
of Spain which are under their Government, can-
eproceed from.' a man who was preparing to
act their ally.- Never has so severe a charge been
brought'against the lawless invaders of the Pen-
insula, as that contained in this extract from
MorillO's latest Proclamation. Not.that.we pre
tend tirdispnte its truth, for it only corresponds
with the idea which all mast form of the folly
and criminality of men whose very first step
across the frontier, was one of deceptive hypo,
crisy and unbounded injusti'm We believe, on
the contrary, that Morillo has not exaggerated
.the excesses which, in the exultation of fancied
triumph;* the enemy and their mock Junta' yen.

[MORNING CrIRONTGLE.]
If the time which Morillo chose for quarrelling'
with the Cortes could have left any doubts as to
his motives, he has removed them by his produc-
tions. In our extracts from the French Papers
of Wednesday will be•fouhd a letter from him to
Quiroga, and a Proclamation Of the 3d July,
which class him with the Abisbals -and •other
traitors.
