PARIS PAPERS.

TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH.
" Paris, "flay 5.

" The advanced guard of General MoLrrott has advanced
upon Fraga. The royalist garrison of Mequinenza has taken
possession of the fort and town of Alcaniz. BALLArrEttos
has retreated from Calatuyud upon Roca/ Several battalions
of Royalists are organizing at Saragossa."

PAWS, MAY 4.—The accounts from the frontiers of Cata-
lonia, given by the Journals of the South of France, say that
Romagnosa entered Puyccrda on the 22d April, at the head of
about UBO men, amidst general acclamations of " The King for
ever !" " Death to the Constitution !"

A traveller from the Seo d'Urgel affirms, that they are selling
the corn and provisions in the ports.
On the 19th Solsona was occupied by Missalles, who de-
manded a contribution to pay his troops. By order of Mina
300 troops of the line had quitted that town the day before, -to
join him in the neighbourhood of Vich, where he was collecting
his force, anti that on the following day 000 militia, who formed
the rest of the garrison, were sent to Manresa and Cardona.
~Before they evacuated Solsona, the silver plate was removed
from the Churches. That belonging to the Cathedral is said to
weigh seven cwt. It was said that Berga and Rippoll had also
been evacuated. jn this case General Milans could not main-
lain his position at Campredon. On the other hand, the Echo
du Midi reports that Mina, leaving the Ter behind him, has
formed his line of defence before Gerona, and thus he would in
same measure have offered bettle to an army with 10 or 12,000
men..—Another Journal makes his force 15,000 men, but all
these statements are very vague. What seems certain, is, that
Marshal 111oncey is not disposed to march forward without
being sure that General Donnadien, who'll; commissioned to
keep his right clear, has taken a position in Spanish Cerdagne
and that on the other side, his. Excellency has caused the coast
to be occupied from Point Cervera to Cape Creuz, in order to
secure his subsistence by ace.

When :Marshal Moncey set out for Perpignan to repair tothe
frontier, his carriage broke down before he reached Le Boulora,
and he received Rome slight contusions, yet notwithstanding his
great age and this accident, the Marshal entered the Spanish
territory on horseback. _ .

The Journal of Perpignan of 28th gives no information '
which we had not already received respecting the movements
of the army under Marshal Moncey. Baron de Rottenburg
hae arrived at Perpignan, and taken the command of the di.
visision of the Eastern Pyrenees, of which that town is the ca.
pits]. Baron de Rottenburg takes the place of Baron Curial,
who commands a corps of the army in the field.
General Donnadieu is gone to put hithself at the head of his
division, which is in Spanish Cerdagne.
The same Journal says, that the Bishop of Vich, who was
under arrest at Barcelona, has been embarked on board a Tar.
tane, with several Priests, and that when they got near to Me.
lines del Rey.they were all shot. The Journal does not ex.
plain whether this execution was in consequence of a sentence,
or whether it must he attributed to the barbarity of the persons
who were to escort the prisoners.
Accounts from Pau, of the 2fith, state that several pieces of
heavy cannon had passed through that town in carts, supposed
to be intended for the siege of St. Sebastian.—(Journal du
Commerce, May.
PARIS, MAY 4.—The Municipal Body of the-City of Paris
war admitted today to pay its respects to his Majesty, on the
anniversary or his Majesty s return to his capital.
Count Chabrol, Prefect of the Departmentofthe Seine, who
was at the head of the Deputation, had the honour of address.
ing to his Majelty the following speech 1a... •
-‘‘ S lux—To-slay is the ninth armiversary of the day when
your Majesty, restored to the love of your people, dictated the
immortal Code of our laws conformably to our wants, to the
spirit of the age, and to the lessons of experience. Events. and
the passions have in vain menaced the foundation of the edifice
which your Majesty has constructed; it ha* triumphed over
political tempests, the inclemency of the seasons, and the
attacks of man. Rich by its soil anti its cultivation, prosperous
by its industry, powerful at laime by the order of its finances,
formidable abroad by its brave army, perfectly faithful to its
King, entirely devoted to its Prince—Franee reposes under the
shelter of your tutelary throne, and confides in the star of a
happy futurity.
Spain, uncertain and troubled by a concealed fire, suffers
itself to be sul.jugated by innovators, and opens her bosom to
the poison of their false doctrines. Immediately her strength
disappears—her empire separates—civil war is kindled between
her children—she is a prey to all evils, and France, which she
threatens, is obliged to lend her aid to the great number of
faithful subjects against the audacity of the rebels.
" What a shocking contrast—what a lesson to nations ! On
the one hand all the benefits of paternal power exercised by the
legitimate Sovereign ; on the other, a new and fatal trial of the
sovereignty of the people, a fallacious maxim of an age which
has been constantly refined by the evidence of facts, and the
misfortunes of nations.
" This example will not be lost upon the studious youth
who are growing up under our eyes, and. who are to perpetuate
the glory of France ! More happy than their fathers, they are
destined to live under paternal laws ; they will duly bless the
august author from whom those laws emanate ; these are sen-
timents engravers on the hearts of all the French, and of which
the Magistrates of. your good city of Paris will never cease to
give the example.'
The King replied— •
"1 have always received with new pleasure the congratula-
tions of my good City of Paris. This day is very dear to me ;
it is that winch restored me to my children. I ant going among
them to enjoy the expression of their love, and to let them read
mine in my countenance."
The Court of Cessation, the Courts of Accounts, and the
Grand Master of the University, likewise paid their compli-
ments, and received most gracious answers from his 3lajesty.
.After receiving the (=gran-11141one of the above and other pub-
lic bodies, the King rode out in an open chaise drawn by eight
horses, and was hailed wherever he passed with the moat enthu-
siastic demonstrations of joy and affection.—Hilintitenro
We have received (says the Journal de Paris) letters and
Papers from Aladrid of "4th April. They contain nothing very
remarkable. Count Abisbal was preparing to leave the capital
with his army ; it was not known which way he would go. The
emigration from Madrid continues, and all the valuable effects
that were in the capital have been sent to various strong places
in the Peninsula. _ _ . .

Accounts from Cadiz of the 9th say, that General Riego had
been received there on the Bth with the greatest enthusiasm
he 'nada Ueshort speech to the people, recomniending unani-
.mity, and strict observance of the Constitution, for :which every
.Spaniard ought to shed his blood.
The .Quotidienne says—" A letter from Vittoria, of 28th
April, !written by one of the Officers attached to the household
of the Duite.of Angouleme to his brother in Paris, says, 1. His
Royal Highness is to leave Vittoria on the hth May, to stop
four days at. Burgos, and to arrive at Madrid on the 20th.
One could not travel with more security in France, and our:
army would already occupy the capital of Spain, if the Prince
had not resolved to wait till the communication with Catalonia
was perfectly established.'"
The Bachange has been closed to-day on account of 'the
Fete. In the evening all the public buildings will be illumi-
nated, as well as a considerable number of private houses.

" PERPIGNAN, APnir.liii:-15oniratIcisco Robert, Go.
vernor of Vich for Lilt; Regency, who set out for that town with
a mule loaded with Proclamations, in order to raise the whole
country, returned here yesterday with all his baggage. After
having assed several days on the frontiers, he has returned
much alarmed; he Tetites that lie has been entirely bathed and
stupified, as well ulna companions (the Monks and Priests),
by learning, on the frontiers, that the whole population of Cats.
lonia had risen en matte to oppose the invasion, and that their
friends had abandoned them and made common cause with the
Constitutionalists; but what most surprised them, and tilled up
the measure of their astonishment, was.their learning that Gen.
Mina, who was said to be almost without troops, was at Vich
with 9,000 men; that Rotten was at (lot with 2,000, exclu.
Sive of 400 men, whom he had detached upon Campretion t that
'l4obera commanded at liesaluget.and Tortola, where he had
estahliihed himself with 2500 men, And that Milan* was posted
at Estella, .141adai and llasseguda.with 4000 men ; in short,
that the ci..devanttiovernor of Viclt despaired of being enabled
to fulfil his mission, and could not resume his post so easily as
was urinated. , • "
3i d
• Our troops have 'invested the of. Viguerase e
Lssire, who was at the headquarters of the Marshal, returned

on the 231, and set out from hence in the course of the day for
Bayonne."
• Letters from Cerdigne of the 22d, in the morning, say :
" We were yesterday evening on the gel vise, notice having
been given that General Mina had arrived at Bipoli with
6000 men; the fact.is, however, that 600 men have arrived at
Ribas."
" It is not supposed that Mina has made any movement upon
Itipoli ; but it is probable, that having learnt the arrival of Gen.
Donnadieu in Cerdagne, and that there was a talk of organizing
a division, he has marched a small corps of troops into the val-
ley of Itibas, in order to be timely informed of the movements
of General Donnadieu, if be should attempt to march upon
Olot or Vich, the gorges of the Segre being guarded by Gorrea,
and his troops being stationed in all the mountains which com-
mand them.
The Ist regiment of light infantry, which was to have join-
ed the division of Darnel, in the Campredon, has received
counter-orders ; it will remain provisionally in the division of
General Donnadieu. Yesterday a denoi-brigatle of mules set
out for Cerdagne, with mountain artillery, consisting of three
small pieces and several caissons of ammunition.
" The three other brigades will be organized when the mules
have arrived ; they are destined to carry the infantry cartridges.
" This evening Mogen Anton set out with two battalions,
consisting in all of 900 men."
( From the courier Francois.)
Mannm, Arnie. 24.—General the Count d'Abisbal has
pointed out the cantonments which are to be occupied in the
neighbourhood of Madrid, by the different corps of his army.
These cantonments are as near to each other as possible ; so
that the corps may commenicate with each other, and assemble
at the same signal.
The command of the Ist division of these corps is confided
to Lieut.-General Don Jose de Zityas ; the 2d is commanded
by Major-General Demetrio O' Daly.
General the Count d'Abisbid made, on the 18th, a grand re-
view of the 3d army of operation, of which he has the command
in chief. The different corps cantoned in the environs of
Madrid were summoned to be present at this review, which
drew all the population from the city. After having defiled
on the bank of the Manganares, the troops manosuvred till
evening. These trt have a fine appearance, and display,
much ardour.
The 18th, in the evening, the pieces of cannon and the artil-
lery baggage, which were in the depot of Segovia, began to
arrive here. -
The Political Chief of Seville has addressed a Proclamation
to the inhabitants of that city, felicitating them on the good
spirit which they have displayed under recent circumstances.
The Militia of Seville were reviewed on the 14th ; the review
was very splendid, and it furnished to the inhabitants of Seville
a new opportunity of manifesting their enthusasm for the Con
stitution.
