SUN-OFFICE, Two o'clock.

Advices have been received from Seville,
which not only confirm the fact of the KING'S
departure for Cadiz, but also, we are sorry
to state, add, that his removal was very much
against the inclinations of His Catholic MA
JESTY, and thr,t it was even found neces-
sary to employ some degree of force, on ac-
count Of the KING'S resistance. No opposition
whatever was offered to the departure of the
Government, by the population of Seville.—
Still, we must regret that it was found neces-
sary to constrain the KING to undertake
the journey, as that circumstance, by proving
that le is really in a '
state of duresse, can
scarcely fail to weaken the Constitutional cause,
whilst it will increase the confidence of the
French, and will increase the numbers and pro-
bably- rouse the indignation and courage of the
loyalists.

We have received the Paris Papers of Sunday
and have given extracts from then) under the
usual head.

The Constitutionncl, in remarking on the inten-
tion of the French forces to push forward for
Cadiz, immediately after their arrival at Seville,
ridicules the idea of investing, with only twelve
thousand men, a city which an• army of a hun-
dred thousand filen could scarcely blockade by
land, and the difficulty of shutting up which is
still greater, from the sea. In fact, if the KING and
the Cortes reach Cadiz in safety, and if the Cortes
continue to evince the same inflexible resolution
not to yield to foreign dictation, it is difficult to
conceive how the war is to be brought to a con-
cleiion. We have all along expressed our belief
that the continued occupation of the country by
the French cannot fail eventually to exasperate
the; people, and to array the whole population
against them. l f this an ticipation be well-founded,
it is-only necessary that Cadiz should hold out,
and that the Constitutionalists should have firmness
and patience, in order to insure the destruction of
the.invaders. It is remarkable that. even yet the
French do not pretend that they have been joined
by any considerable number of Spaniards. On
the contrary, it is well known that the ranks
of the Faith have been thinned by. desertions
•
and it is but the other day that it was acknow-
ledged that the Royalists of Navarre had re-
volted in a body against the authority of their
Viceroy. In these facts,---in the continued fide-
lity and successful resistance of the .garrisons of
the fortresses,—in the. enterprising courage and
skill of MINA, who continues to defy all the
efforts of his opponents in Catalonia,—in the cha-
racter of the Spanish people and in the nature of

their country—and— in the now disunited and
weakened state of the French army, extended
as it is over so great a surface—we still discern
grounds of hope that Spain will come triumph-
antly out .of the struggle for her independence.

The official intelligence brought by the last
arrival of foreign Papers is contained in the fol.
•lowing Telegraphic Dispatch, and in the sub-
joined extract from the Madrid Gazette Extra-
"ordb!arji of the 15th instant. The whole of
;these statements, however, have been anticipated.
