PARIS' PAPERS.

(Franc the Constitutpnioe,l,l
PAIVIS, ox,y S.---Yes terday,_ a report.wat cir-
culated at the BourFe, that General Morillo had
made his submission to the Regency of Madrid.
Soon afterwards it was, merely stated that lie had
requested an armistice. At length it was said
that Morillo had declared himself independent ;
that he would neither recognize the Regency of
Madrid nor that of Cadiz; and that he had con-
voked a Junta to consider of the measures to be
adopted under these circumstances.
In our Paper of the 4th instant we announced,
in our priVate correspondence of the 26th June,
the entry of Mina into Barcelona. We have
since received but ''one letter from our Corre-
:spondent, whose accuracy is ):sown to us. We
are so much the more desirous of receiving cer-
tain intelligence from as vague reports are
in circulation respecting the march of Mina, and
the louruals give in this respect but uncertain
information. The greater part of them state in
effect that he has entered Barcelona, but others
add that he hits pushed on. to Tarragona. It is
even asserted that previous to entering Turra:.
gone, he gained on some pOints trifling ad Van-
tnges. A report is also current, that in conse.;
quence of the union of the troops of Mina with
those of General Nanso, a brisk affair took place
at Manresa. It will be recollected that our cot--
respondent, in his letter of tlie 28th, stated' that
Manresa would doubless be evacuated by our
troops.

PRIVATE LETTER, DATED MADRID, JULY 2.
• General Morillo having learned that the
Cortes had decreed the deposition of 11w King,
addressed to his army and the inhabitants of the
provinces which he commands, the following
Proclamations. We hasten to make them public.
It is asserted that he had at the same time pro.
posed an armistice, but that he was answered
there could he no suspension of arms, unless he
recognized the Regency.
__

It iy ntmounct.d that Morino has dismissed
Quiroga from his command, and that the latter
has retired to Corunna, where he wishes to ern-
bark with his wife and family. • • •
General 'Bourck, who was at Astorga, is bear-
ing, on Lugo, whilst Generals- Alliignac and
Huber march on the same
...point by the Asturias.
" Soldier; of the Fourth Army t
,‘ You have manifested your resolution not to obey the or:
ders of a Regency which the Cartes have installed at Seville,
by depriving the Constitutional King of his powers, in a man-
ner reproved by our social compact. • Animated with the same
sentiments as yourselves, I have.formed the same wishes ; and
I declare to you that I do not recognize the Government which
the Cortea have illegally established ; but these provinces must'
not- be abandoned to the fury of anarchy. I .shall retain the
eommandof the utny, and, aided by a Government Junta, I
shall adopt the measures which circumstances may require,
obeying .no authority until the King and the nation establish
the kind of tiovernment which ought to prevail in our country.

" Our first duty is to preserve public tranquillity, and-to
pCrniit no person to be insulted, nor the least disorder to be
committed, under the pretext of political opinions, or on any

pretext 7

French Genetal who is opposed to us, and to r 0,,, will pro..

positions, and if he requires from us humiliating conditions,
then you must prepare to fight. You have told me that I
'merit your confidence, and you, have made me the depositary
of the honour of the army. I will know how to preserve it,
and whatever may l}e the dangers which surround us,, never
will I yield with ignominy.

" Soldiers ! nearly all of you belong to these provinces, rind
your:fathers, your brothers, your cotintrynien, need youraicl in
rir'etZeiving peace and tranquillity, without which persons and
1-Property would be compromised. Your presence under your
standards was never more necessary ; and I doubt not that, im-
pressed with the noble'mission entrusted to you, you will give
nie constant limas of your discipline and your union.
" Lugo, June 26. 'L6 The Count of CARTHAGENA."

" Inhabitants of the Provinces included in the Dittrict-of the
Army—Since the news has been fully confirmed that the Cortes
at Seville have appointed a. Regency, depriving the King of his
'authority, without the.case foreseen by the Constitution having
occurred, and without any of the forms required by the regu-
lation and ordinances having been obserVed, I have 'received,
and have been successively waited on by deputations from: the
chiefs and officers of the 2d and 311 divisions, to declare to me
that the troops were determined not to recognize that Regency.
The inhabitants have declared themselves to the same efnct,
and as I would not allow the army, to be disorganized, and a
ferocious anarchy to spread desolation through these provinces,
I determined to declare, in a public-and notorious manner, that
I do not recognize. the Regency appointed by the Cortes at
Seville, because the Constitution has been violated in that ille-
gal act, and, because I will in no way. be an accomplice in the
evils which, according to all appearance, this inconsiderate step
will produce.
" nut in order pot to act lightly, and to be clinpletely cer-
tain as, to the state of public opinion with regard .to the affairs
of Seville, I this morning assembled all the ecclesiastical, civil,
'and military authorities, and was thus enabled, to convince my-
self that the population fully participate in the se•nents of
the troops, and that a Government which is the result of the
most illegal act cannot be recognized.
" In consequencel have resolved as follows :
" 1 The inhabitants of the provinces included in the district
of the 4th -army do not recognize the Regency installed by the
Cortes 41? Seville on the 11th current.

" 2. To maintain order in these provinces, and to protect the
persons and property of the inhabitants, I retain the com-
mand of the army with the same powers I previously possessed.
Wishing, besides. to attach to my measures the wisdom which
in the existing circumstances is necessary, I have resolved that
each provincial deputation, in concert with the superior ecclesi-
astical, ctiv. , and military authorities now in the capital, shall
nomina
tit ' ' individual of its body, who shall immediately re-
pair to ' . ead-quarters, for the purpose of forming with the
other met tiers, nominated by the different deputations and
'authorities,.'a Junta of Government to which the examination
of difficult aflkirs may be submitted.
" 3. This order of things shall subsist until the King and
the Nation 'adopt a system of regular Government.
" 4. PersOns and property remain under the safeguard of
the laws4t4e. authorities, and the armed force. No insult nor
the least disorder will be permitted under the pretext of opinion
or political Conduct; and whoever may endeavour to excite
disorder, shall be punished with all the severiti of the law, as a
disturber of public order.
"4. The existing laws are maintained in their vigour,
'except those relative to otlences of opinion, which are abolished,
because no person shall he prosecuted or disquieted for the
opinions be has heretofore held, and henceforth he only will he
considered culpable in this respect who shall disturb public
order.
" Such are the regulations which I think it right to establish'
air the basis of Government, during the continuance of this pro.
visional state of things. My intentions are pure, and I have
no other wish than to preserve, if po:aiible°,•these previnces from
invasion—to maintain peace and order in them—and to preserve
inviolate the honour of the nation and the army.
" As some days must elapse before the individuals who may
be nominated by the provincial deputations for the Provisional
Government Junta run assemble, I have constituted a junta
/id inter's', consisting of the Bishop of this diocese, the Poli-
ileal Chief of the province, the Marquis de Vellodares, deputy
from the province of Vigo, Don Jose Alontero,_deputy for the
provinee of Corunna, and Don Francisco-Anthems Alvares,
tlepirty for this province. • .
"Inhabitants of these provinces I—lf you wish to give to
I:urope a noble example, by chewing that you have no need of
Foreign troops to maintain public order; and defend the na-
tional honour—if you wish to preserve peace, and the inviola-
bility of your persons and properties, do not allow yotirselves
to be led astray by your passions; obey the laws and the voice
of the authorities, who only •clesire order and the oblivion of
resentments and injuries.
,You will then reap in abundance
the fruits of your wisdom, without experiencing the incalcu-
' hide evils which oppress the other provinces.
" The Count of CARTHAGENA.
" Mali-quarters, Lugo, June 20."

On the 29th of last month the Commissioner of the King of
Fritnee, 111. de Martignuc, addres3ed a Note to the Regency in
these terms s--

" In the late wars between France and Spain the fate of battles
successively, placed in the power of the French army 48 stand-
ards belonging to the Spenish army., These standards, gained
by suceasful courage from disappointed valour, were removed
to Paris, and have remained there as precious pledges' of the
triumphs which most honoured Our arms.
,4 'the King of France, now united with the brave and ge-
nerous Spanish people, hi wishes and in efforts for the deliver-
.ttnee of their Xing, wishes to efface even the recollection of
the enmities which have heretofore divided the two nations.—
Ile has caused to be removed from our vaulted roof's those mo-
numents of glory and of discord, and has sent them to the
Prince Pacificator, in order that they may be restored to your,
King. • •
16 Awaiting the happy day in which the alliance and
friendship oitbe two Sovereigns and of the two nations shall
be cemented by that restitution, the Prince is of opinion that
this deposit cannot be better placed than in the Palace of' the
Kings of Spain, and under the guardianship of the Regency of
the kingdom. .°
" His Royal Ifighneint hat; therefore ordered me to inform
your Serene Ilighnesses,
that he wishes to deposit in the Pa-
lace, and to confide
to your fidelity, the 48 standards taken in
the late wars, the two standards taken from our common ene-
My in the present war, anti the keys of the city of Valencia,
formerly de,livered to a French warrior.
" Ilis Royal Highness has deigned to intrust to the Major
General and to me the happy mission of delivering into your
posseision these trophies purchased by French blood, now be-
conlet6 pledges of a sincere and durable friendship. I beg
that your Serene Highnesses will be pleased to name a day on
which it will be convenient for you to receive from our hands
this precious deposit."
c l he Regency returned an answer expressive of their thanks
to Isis Most
Christian Majesty fur this " sublime trait of gene-
rosity." 'The delivery took place on the Ist of July : fifty
French non-commissioned Oflicera or veterans, ,each carrying
one standard,
repaired to the Palace, and deposited the restored
trophies in the
Saloon of the Columns." The ceremony was
conducted with great pomp. M. de Martignac and the Major-
General addressed the Regency ; and the Duke del Infantado,
as President of, that body, replied.] •

In Tnt: Sus of the '24th ult. in announcing
that the Cortes had been obliged to employ force
for the removal of the King of SPAIN to Cadiz,
we expressed our apprehension that so flagrant a
proof of the fact that the KING was in a state of
captivity could scarcely fail to weaken the Con-
stitutional Cause. On the first receipt of the
intelligence that FEUDINAND had been rein.
vested with the functions of Royalty, imme,
dintely on his arrival within the Isle of Leon,

we were equally prompt in expressing our
hope (see T;IE SUN of the -7th instant), that
the Satisfactory proof which the Cortes thus gave
by its 'conduct that it contemplated no ulterior
measures against the KING, would probably
have the effect of 're-assuring the confidence of

t all who might have began to fear that the
Cortes had abandoned that course of dignified
moderation in whiciv its proceedings had hitherto
been conducted. Except that the temporary de-
position of the litF.G was followed by thesuspension
of diplomatic intercourse with Sir Wit.'A'CounT,
an the., otkter Ambassadors whet had accompanied'
the Spanish Court to Seville, the apprehensions
or injury to the Constitutional Government, from
the dangeroui, though unavoidable, proceeding
,which it had 'adopted against the KING, had
begun to subside. In. our own opinion, as we
have,tOready stated, the promptitude with which
he was restored to the exercise of,the Royal funs•
Lions was not only calbulated to remedy any
tnischievonS effects which the 'previous proceed-
ing might have produced upon the feelings and
prejudices of the Spanish nation, but even to,
induce the Ambassador of this country to re-
sume his official' attendance at th'e Court of FEB.
ntsAxn: We have now, however, the.painful
fluty of referring our Readers to the Procla-
mation's of General Montra,o, in which. he,
declares, for Lis army, and for the inha-
bitants of time district under his military com-
mand, that he does " not recognize the Regency
appointed by the Cortes at Seville; because the
Constitution has been violated in that illegal
act," and because he " Will iu no way be an
accomplice in the evils which, according to
all appearance, this inconsiderate step will
produge."—A though these Proclamations are
dated the 20th June, nine ,lugs after the KING'S
restoration to the exercise of the Executive
Power, yet it is possible, front the state of the
communications, that the intelligence of the.
K INm ig restoration might not have reached MO-
r.mto when they were. issued ; and there is,
therefore, still a probability of his having re-
newed hi-s allegiance
,to the Government of the.
Cortes, when he became acquainted with the im-
portant change which took place in the KING!S
condition immediately on his arrival at Cadiz..
.We confess, however, that, considering the pub-
Pc manner in which he• has accused the Colips
of having violated the Constitution, our hopes of
any alteration in the views and sentiments 'of
Montr.to are of the very feintest description; It
is true that he professes his continued de.
votion to the cause of the national inde-
pendence, and his resolution to resist the fo-
reign enemy, if his own proposition for a sus-
pension of hostilities should be met by the

not less unwilling to :submit to foreign dic-
tltion. If we are correct in this opinion,
every thing must depend upon the conduct of
the French,. who, by concluding an armistice
with MORICLO and BAra.ArrEnos, and in good
faith leaving the remodelling of the Spanish
Government to the Spaniards themselves, may-
even yet get out of the hazardous war in which
they are engaged, without further loss than.

than unqualified submission to the will of Feti.,
