EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

We have received, by Express, the Paris
Papers of Sunday last, of which the following
are extracts :--

[Frans L'Etoile sy Sunday night.)
Yesterday an extraordinary Council of Minis.
ters was held at the house of M. de VILLELE, in
consequence of the arrival of a Courier from
Mad rid.

M. de MARTIGNAC, Commissary Extraordinary
for the Army of the Pyrenees) sets out to-
morrow.

We hear from Limoges, that the Duc WAN.
GOULEME arrived there on the 17th inst., and
proceeded on the following morning towards
Toulouse.

The sentence of death, passed upon Rooms,
has been commuted into twenty years of hard
labonr.

An English Courier, from Madrid, has just
passed through Bayonne with Dispatches for Lon-
don. We learn by this means in a positive manner
that the King of SPAIN, the Cortes, and the
Government, were nut •to quit Madrid till the
17th or 18th, and that Sir WILLIAM A'CounT,
the English Ambassador, was to follow the Go.
vernment. The Cortes have adjourned the read.
ing of the Reports of the. Ministers upon the
situation of the Peninsula, which was expected
every moment to take place.

The 2d and 3d battalions of the 6th Regiment
of the line, 1014 strong, have Arrived at Bor.
deaux from Metz, on their way from Bayonne.
The Ist battalion of the same regiment has
arrived at Paris.

Two battalions of the 4th regiment of light
infantry, three of the 17th of the line, and about
150 mukts a bats (baggage mules), have passed
by Montpelier towards the frontier.--We expect
the 4th regiment of horse artillery, of 160 men
and 167 horses, in the same direction.
Three battalions of the 2d and sth Regiments
of the infantry of the Gardes Royale, each corn.
posed of 760 men, arrived at Agen, on the 14th
and quitted on the 16th. The same day the
three battalions of the 3d and 6th regiments of
the same corps, of 700 strong' each, arrived at
Agen, and set out on the 17th. The ..eigenese
seized this occasion to manifest their sentiments
in the eyes of the soldiers. :
The day before yesterday the Police arrested
in the Bourne-la-Reit:o the Bordeaux Diligence,

in which were several military men going towards
the South, with false passports, and under false
names. General PIAT is' named amongst the
Officers who have been arrested. Many reports
on this subject are in circulatien in Parts, which
the future only will explain. It is said that a
great number of papers, trunks, &c., which were,
forwarded by the Diligence, have been sealed
up. It is difficult to believe that these proceed,
ings of the Police have not been provoked by
important indications. It will not be long' be.
fore the intentions of these travellers, who were'
so solicitous to conceal their names and their
journey, will be discovered. We shall lay before
our Readers the result of the judicial informs.
tions, or any new details which may arise.
They write to us from Toulon on the 11th of
March, " This night at half-past two o'clock,
we were awakened by the alarm gun, and by the
bell 'of the arsenal sounding the tocsin. In an
instant the whole garrison was under arms, and
persons both civil and military went to their
posts. The cause of this alarm was a fire which
had just broken out in the middle of the arsenal
in the place called l'lsle, and precisely where
there was a quantity of ,combustibles. By
prompt efforts the fire was extinguished in
a few hours, and the total destruction of
the ships and the arsenal prevented ; had
the wind blown with as Much violence as the
night before, nothing could have saved the great
and small range, at a little distance from n here
the fire broke out. The tranquillity- of, the city
was not disturbed for a moment.

Vs ant the Journal de Paris.]
The Baron d'EttoLEs yesterday left Salanque
for St. Laurent de Salanque, where his head-
quarters are established. Cantonments have
been given to his troops, which consist of 5055
men, and which receive pay and rations as
French troops.
The twelve hundred men left at Campredon
by MOSEN ANTON having received news that
General MILANS would shortly establish himself
in that village, have judged it prudent to retreat
into France.

Seven hundred men, intended to be organized
by the same chief, passed yesterday under the
walls of Perpignan, directing their course to St.
Laurent-de-Salanque, but a counter-order which
they received on entering the city compelled
them to retrograde.

[FROM A. CORRESPONDENT.]
STOCK EXCHANGE, Twelve o'clock.---The Eng-
lish Funds and the Spanish Botids have experienced
this morning a considerable improvement. Con-
sols opened at 744, got up to -t, I, with a Market
looking up for a further advance, which it is said is
owing to an Express from Paris which left yester-
day morning at one o'clock, bringing accounts
from Madrid of a late date. It is said that on the
17th inst. there was a change of Ministry in the.
above capital, and that the KING had demanded
to delay his departure until the 20th inst., which
was granted by the Cortes ; also that General
ABISBAL had entered Madrid with the forces
under his command, and was immediately ap-
pointed Political Chief of Madrid. By the
delay of the KING'S departure, it is imagined
through the interference of the new Ministry he
may yet for some time remain in his Capital.
We also understand that the Public aro great
Bears in Spanish Bonds ; yesterday there was
given 25, to borrow 1000 till this day.
FOREIGN FUNDS.—There has been this morn-
ing a rise of If per cent. in Spanish Bonds, which
opened at 26 to and are up to this hour (27,;!,
with a brisk Market.

We understand from authority which we deem
undeniable, that the discontent is so great in
France, particularly along the coast, that the
women and children at Calais, Boulogne,
and the environs, continually cry out—
" d bus les Bourbons !"—down with the Bourbons!
and frequently add, we will get rid of them.
We have heard this from a Gentleman of the
first respectability, who is constantly going to
and returning from France in an official situation,
and who has no doubt that very strong measures
must be resorted to, if a revolution is. to be pre-
vented.
