EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

We have received at a late hour this morning
the Paris Papers of Monday. We have only time
to extract the following Bulletins from the Duke
d'AscouLEstE and Marshal MONCEY ; and in-
deed these papers do 'not contain any thing else
of importance. Our Readers will see that de-
cisive results from the military operations in the
Peninsula are as distant as ever.

The corps of Mor,vron appears to have been
in a very critical situation. MONCEY, and DONA.,
DIEU, UM! d7EItOLES, &c. &c. are still in par-,
suit of MINA, who still keeps them engaged,
in the pursuit, and who, although he can
only escape by a miracle, always contrives by
same means or other to obtain the miraculous
means of eluding the grasp of his enemies !

ARMY OF THE PYRENEES.

ItEFQRT OF THE MAJOR-GENERAL TO THE sEcgE-

TARY OF WAR.

MADRID, JUNE 1.

Mir Loan—His Royal Highness having
judged it necessary to march some troops to An.T.
dalusia and Estretnadura, I have the honour to
inform your Excellency that two columns, one of
7000, and the other of 8000 men, have been
formed for the said project. The first, corn:
manded by Lieut.-General Bordesoult, will prat
teed by the route of Aranjuez,
la Manche, and.
Cordone, for Seville ; while another corps, und4r
the orders of Lieut.-Gen. Count de Bourmonty

#.

after having joined at Talavera de la Reyna the
advanced guard of Gen. Valli!), will proceed by
Truxillo to Istretnadura. Having arrived in that
province, it will operate according to circum-
stances, either to march on Iladajos, or to join
the first column at Seville. The ijovements of
these two columns will commence to day. The
troops of the reserve will remain at Madrid,
and -will be put provisionally under the
command of Lieutenant-General Viscount
Castoz. With the exception of the division of
Curassiers, there will only remain in Madrid a
corps of 5000 men, composed of three battalions
and a regiment of cavalry of the Guard, and a
part of the division of Autichamp. The Ist
corps and the remainder of the troops will be
encamped in the environs, so that they may be
immediately united if circumstances require it.

3IADRID, JUNE 2.

Mx LORD—III my report of the 26th May I
had the honour to inform your Excellency that
his Royal Highness having authorised the Count
Molitor to suspend his movement on Valence,
and to assist the operations of the 4th corps, the
division of Pamphile La Croix will pass the Segre
at Balaguer,
,and manoeuvre in the direction
of Cervera. The first brigade will advance
to Agramon, where they will find about the 25th
the troops of Baron proles. General Pamphile
La Croix received information from Manresa,
that that town was occupied, by Donadieu., and
that Winans and Llobera were retiring on Bar-
celona. According to this state of things, Gene-
ral Molitor decided immediately to march on
Valence, with orders to General Pamphile La
Croix to' follow his movement. Gen. Molitor
arrived on. the 29th at Casp6, and on the
following day was to proceed to Alcanez, to re-
connoitre a Constitutional corps, who followed in
that direction 1500 Royalists. After having
caused that corps to retire, and rallied his
troops, who passed the Ebro at IVlequinesza and
Caspe, he has marched a party of them by the
difficult route which leads to Alcanez on the
high road to Valence, while the main body of his
army marches for Daroca. The Count Molitor
will proceed rapidly on Valence, where he is
impatiently expected by the numerous corp,s of
Royalists who are in the environs of that place,
and by a great party of the population.—The
Count Molitor has left troops at Sarragossa,
at which place the Citadel is in a goon state of
defence, and, which forms the base, of his line
of operations, and has procured to the Spanish
General who commands in the province of Ara-
gon, every means to continue the organization
of that district.

COUNT GUILLEMINOT;

REPORT OF MARSHAL DUKE CONEGLIANO%

VIM, MAY 30,--On the 29th I went to re-
connoitre the positions of Mataro and Granolles.
Today I went to Vich. The following is the
position of the division of Donadieu:—That
General, who will follow Mina in the Cer.
daine, if necessary, is this night at Berga.-7
The Brigade Saint Priest and the Baron Eroles
are also in pursuit of Mina, The Colonel Count
Astorga commands at Manresa. The garrison
of' that place will unite with that of Vich. At
the'attack of Vich, Gen. Tarraguier was seriously
wounded. liis loss will be greatly felt by
the enemy. Five or six hundred men of the
division of Curial continue to occupy Mataro.
The 9th division continues to form, a Camp of
Observation before Figueirase

SOLZONA, JUNE I.—Mina, pursued night and
day, will not escape at Berge, but by miracle.
He has thrown himself on a hard precipice.—
Without giving his soldiers the least rest he
marched them over the highest mountains near
Seo Urgel.„ where he arrived this night.-7-
His intentions are to regain Cordone, by Saint
Laurent. According to all the -reports I have re-
ceived, Mina's army is extinguished, and com-
pletely disorganized, and ho ravages the country
he passes through, and forces the inhabitants to
give him provisions.

DONADIEU.

(From La Quoti4liennc, June 9.)

On'the 31st May, Mina arrived at Soo d'Urgel
with his division of about 1200 to 2,500 men,
and it is given as certain that the Baron Eroles
is continually following him.

The Marquis de Talarui our Ambasbador to
Spain, sets off to-morrow for Madrid.

Every fresh arrival of intelligence from France
and Spain serves now to confirm • the belief that
the contest will only be terminated by the utter
failure of the French, or by the entire over-
throw of the Constitutional party in Spain.—
The latter branch of the alternativei not-
withstanding all that has hitherto passed, will
not be so soon or so easily effected as seemed
from sore p recent circumstances to be at one time

probable.. It is to be regretted-that the judicious'
and patriotic course recommended in the letter
of Count ABISBAL tO MONTIJO seems to have
been equally rejected by his countrymen and by the
French. The Spanish Regency, the Spanish Consti-
tutionalists, and the French invaders,appear all to,
be obstinately determined against making conces- I
sions of any kind, and to calculate on nothing
less than the unqualified triumph of themselves,
and the entire ruin of their adversaries.—
In THE SUN of the 30th ultimo, we said,
" The only • circumstance that seems. to de-
tract from the character' of the recent pro-
ceeding of Count Mini:4AL, is the publicity which
has been given to his correspondence with MoN-
TIJO. 13ut MONTIJO is (was) himself a Constitu-
tionalist; and it is only fair to presume that
ABISBAL did not intend that his letter should be
published." From the Declaration of ABISBAL,
of May 17th (see our Foreign Intelligence),
we are glad to find that our Conjecture was
right, that his letter Icas published without his
knowledge, and that he remains firm in his alle-
giance to the Spanish Government.

We have received Cape Town Gazettes to the
2(1 March, but their contents are unimportunt.

We extract the following from the Chronic*
of this morning, merely for the purpose of chew-
ing to our Readers how easily the most clumsy
fabrications may be palmed, even upon people of
sense, when their judgment has been warped by
the het of political, animosities. One woujd
almost believe that the Correspondent of the
Chronicle is a humourist, who has adopted this
method of trying the extent of his friend's. cre-
dulity !

" SECRET TREATY OF VER.ONA.
" The following State Paper (in French) Was communicate()
to us by a Correspondent, with an assurance of his having
ground for believing in its authenticity. We publish it as we
rezeived it, without giving any positive opinion of our own on
the subject
'The undersigned Plenipotentiaries, specially. authorised by
their Sovereigns to make some additions to. the treaty of the
Holy Alliance, after having exchanged their respective fall
powers, have agreed upon the following articles:--
`
Art. 1. The High Contraeting Parties, well convinced that
the system of Representative' Government is as incompatible
with the Alonarclueal principle as the maxim" of, the Sove-
reignty, of the. PeoPle is opposed to the principle of Divine
',tight, engage in the most solemn manner to employ all their
means, mid unite all their efforts to put an end to,the system of
Representative Government whenever it is knovrn- to &ist in
the States of Euro2e, and to prevent it from being introduced
into those States were it is not known.
Art. 2. As it cannot be disputed that the freedom of the
Press is, the most efficacious means employed by the pre-
tended defenders of the rights of nations, to injure those of.
Princes, the High Contracting Parties reciprocally promise to
adopt every possible measure fot its suppression, not only In.
their own States, but in all others in Europe.
Art. 3. Being of opinion, that religious principle* are those
which may still. powerfully contribute to maintain nations in
that state of passive obedience which they owe to their Princes,
the High Contracting Parties declare it to be their intention to
support each in his own states, the measures which the Clergy,
with a view, to their own interest, aye enabled to carry into
effect far the purpose of maintaining the authority. of Princes,
and they, in common offer their acknowledgments to the Pope
for the part he has, already taken in this respect, soliciting his
constant co,aperation,with a view to the subjection of nations.
‘. Art. 4. The situation, of Spain and. Portugal uniting un-
I:fortunately all. the. circumstances, to,Which this Treaty refers,_
the Iligh Contracting Parties, in confiding to France the task
of putting. an. end to them, assure her of assistance which may
least compromise them with their. people and with the Freneh
people, by meal* ofqs.sabsidy on the part of the two Emperors
of 110,0011,1100 francs each per annum, reckoning from the day
of the ratifirati,on,of this treaty, and during the whole term, of
the war.
. • Art. 5. In.order to effectuate in the Peninsula the restora.
don of the state of affairs existing previous to the Revolution
of Cadiz; and to secure the entire fulfilment of the views point-
ed out in, the stipulations of this Treaty, the Iligh Contracting
Partiqs give a reciprocal assurance, that sp long as their ob-
ject shall remain unaccoMplished, they will, rejecting every
other idea of utility or cipecliency, cause to he expedited the
most precise orders to all the Authorities in their States, and to
all their Agents in foreign parts, to the end that the most per-
feet agreement may be established between those of the four
contracting Powers, with reference to the object of this Treaty.
Art. 0, This Treaty shall be renewed with thealterations
required for its Object, and adapted:te.the circumstances of the
moment, either 'at a new Congress or at one of 'the Courts of
the High Contracting Parties, as inOn, as the war with Spain
shall have terminated.
'Art. 7. The present shall be ratified, anti the ratitications
shall be exchanged at Paris within two months.

VATTEL. has, been quoted for the purpose of
damping the ardour of the people of this Country
in favour of Spain, 40 of producing an, impres-
'ion on the public mind that the transmission of
arms to the Spaniards from England would be
inconsistent with, our neutrality. The follnwing
are the passages to which we allude,—(Lap of
Nations, Book ii. c. 6, and Book c. 7):—

NEUTRALITY.
" As long as a Neutral' Nation wishes securely to. el joy the
advantages of her Neutrality, she must in all things shew a
strict impartiality toward the Belligerent Powers; for should
she' favour one of the parties to the prejudice of doe other, she
cannot complain of being treated by hitn as an adherent and
confederate of his enemy. Her neutrality would be a frau4, t.
lent neutrality, of which no nation will consent to be the dupe.
" The 'Nation or Sovereign ought not to suffer the Chirp's to
do any injury to the subjects of another. State, much less to
era 'that State itself; and this not only becauselio Sovereign
ought to' permit those who are under his command to violate
the precepts of the haw of Nature, which forbids all injuries,
but also because Nations ought mutually to respecteach other
and tonbstainfrom all growl!, from all injury. trom all wrong.
" If the offended State has in her power the individual who
has done the injury, she may, without scruple, bring, 4im to
justice and punish him. If he has escaped and returned to his
own country, she ought to apply to his Sovereign tohave justice
done in the case.
" And sinbe the latter ought not to suffer his subjects to m 0...
lest the subjects of other States, or to do them an injury, much
less to give open and audacious oji:nce to Foreign Powers ; he
ought to compel the transgressor to make reparation for the
damage or injury, if pogible, or to boa on hint an exemplary !
punishment.
" The Sovereign who refuses to cause reparation to be made,
for the damage done by his subjects, or to punish the offender,
renders himself, in some measure an accomplice its the injury,
and becomes responsible ftn:
We do not !nee% to controvert the reasoning
of MATTEL on this important subject ; but we
do not think that it will be difficult to show t,hat
it has been improperly appkied to the measure
at
present adopted in this country its favour Of
Spain. if the People, as as the GoNet;n-
-,t
aunt) ig must) in all things 4 she a ftrict frivasc!.

ticdity toward the Belligerent. Powers," it is,
as much a breach of English neutrality 'to
furnish the, French Government with a Loan
of English, money, for the purpose of en-
abling that Government to increase the vigour
of its military, operations against Spain, as it is to
furnish the Spanish Government with Egglish
arms, for the purpose of enabling Spain to, resist
the aggression,. of France. English subjects, lend
their money to France, because they are satisfied
with the security, whick,F,rance offers for their
advances. Other English'subjects give 'a portion of
their money, or of commodities, to Spain, because
they approve of the cause in which Spain is em-
barked. The effect of both these proceedings, on
the part of English subjects, is.precisely similar,'
viz. th4t of aiding and assisting the respective Bea.'
gerents. The motive of the parties subscribing
to the donation to Spain ikat least a,s good as
that of the parties subscribing to the loan to'
France. 4.* Strict impartiality" would, require
that even a loan should be withheld from.a, nleu-
tral Nation to a Belligerent Power. But, as
the right of making a loan has' never been
contested, " strict impartiality" obviously re
quires, that, if a loan be alloWed to the
Belligerent who can give securities, the other
Belligerent, who is unable to, borro-o, shall not
be prevented from receiving a Ole—Finally,
the First Minister of England, Lord' LIV.ERPOOL,
may bo, said to have recognized the right of the
English People Ic, manifest their sentiments
by giving assistance to, the Spaniards, the
Noble. Earl having, said,, in, his place in Par-
!lament, on the first day of the Session,
while eloquently deprecating the meditated ag-
gression, of France upon Spain, that " this coun-
try (England), was in a condition to undertake
a war, if the interests or the honour of the na-
tion required it,—that, if the voice of the people
called for our participation in a war, he had no
hesitation to say tlokt, the country was, in a condi-
tion to, meet it."

The Kin and. Queen of DENSIAI3.IC, with.a nu-
merous; suite, were to embark at Copenhagen on
board the steanwacket that plies. between the
Danish capital. and Kiel on the 3d instant. In
consequence of this arrangement, it was publicly
notified that no, other passengers could be ac-
commodated. After reviewing the

On the 22d ult, the marriage gf, the Princess
JOSEPHINE of
,Ilenchtenberg, with his Royal
Highness the crown Prince of SwEons., was per-
formed by proxy at Munich, on which occasion
his Royal Highness Prince Chamois, uncle of the
bride, represented the illustrious liridegroorp. His
Excellency Count LOWENHJEW4S AlPbassadOr at
Paris, attended the ceremony on the. part of the
King of SW.ED§N. According to the latest intel-
ligence from Stockholm, it woeld appear that the
CROWN PR4tIVE does not trayel out of the coup-
try to meet his bride.
A consmercial letter from Rt..Petersburgh by
the last mail says, it is now ascertained that the
duty paid on sugars in 1821, i. e• during the
,
pe-
riod that all descriptions were admitted, was
above seven, millions of rubles in, the capital
alone ; while, in the year IV2, i.e. udder the
restrictive system, the entire duty hardly ex-
ceeded one million of rubles. This, is surely a
practical lesson to statesmen, who are so food of
interference in matters of commerce. Vp to the
14th ult. 1.00, foreign vessels, had arrived at St.
