EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

....
We have received by Express. the Journal de
Paris, the Drapeau Blanc, the Journal du COM..
oserce, and the Journal des Debuts, of Saturday.
The Spanish prisoners of war are at length
Passing the frontier on their return to their much
abused and unfortunate country, which will
afford to these brave men, we fear, but an inhos-
pitable reception. Many of them will probably
join the guerilla bands which are wandering
about in search of rallying points, and of a leader
capable of making another effort for the salvation
of the Peninsula, by organizing and directing the
elements of resistance to the foreign oppression and
domestic despotism by
which Spain is oversha-
dowed. The contents of these papers are not
otherwise interesting. We subjoin the only ar-
ticles worth translating :

(From the Journal de Paris of Saturday. )
PERPIGNAN, APRIL 7.—The first column of
Spanish prisoners of war, about 200 men, arrived
to-day; they will set off to-morrow for Spain.
Other columns, of about the same number, will
arrive in two days, and, conformably to the
order of the Minister of War, the Officers of the
same nation will also take the same route for
their native country.

[From the Drapea3 Blanc.]

LINTZ, APRIL 7.—Prince Metternich accom-
Panics the Emperor to Prague. We do not as
yet know if his Majesty will go to Berlin, to be
present at an important negociatiou. Baron de
Xrieglstein, our Minister at the Court of Por-
tugal, has sent to our Court a declaration of the
Cabinet of Lisbon, relative to the affairs of the
Brazils. Oer Court, notwithstanding the interest
it takes ia the Prince Royal and his august wife,
daughter of our Emperor, is decided not to ac-
knowledge in any shape the independence of the
Brazils, and will pursue the system adopted by
the great Powers forming the Holy Alliance.
Nl.tortin, APRIL 10.—Ferdinand VII. has ap-
Pointed Don Simon Antonio Rentesia, Bishop of
Lerida, and Don Rafael Velez, Bishop of Ceuta.

(Prom the Journal du Commerce of Saturday.)
It is announced that General Rivaud has re-
fused to take the command of the Army of OcCu-
pation in Spain. It is also, stated that Viscount
Digeon will re
Mouton place Bourmont, and that Marshal
sill command, at Cadiz, the second
brigade
of the Army of occupation. It is Gene-
ral Desperamons who at this moment commands
at Madrid.

It appears that the Spanish Government has
not thought it sufficient for one Agent of Finance
to go to Paris, and has therefore sent M. Burgos,
`whose principal mission is to examine what means
of credit the Spanish Government can obtain
there.

( From the Journal des flobats of Saturday.)
PARIS, APRIL 16.—T0-day the King gave
audience to Prince Talleyrand, and the Ambas-
sadors of Spain and Naples.
At two o'clock Count Villele presided at a
Council of 'Ministers,

CIIAIdDEIt or DEPUTIES.—Nothing of copse-

(pence.
Rentes, Saturday after Change, 102. 85. ; Spanish, 18. ;
Guebliard's Loan, 621. 63. ; Ducats, 951.

In our preceding columns we have given co-
pious extracts from various foreign journals, re-

ceived since our last. Advices from Constan-
tinople of the 10th ult. pretend to clear up
all the reports respecting the alleged revolt of
the Pacha of EGYPT ; but although from the
want of confirmation the accuracy of the
rumours has now become very doubtful,
yet the Constantinople intelligence is far from
proving that they were, destitute of foundation.
On the other hand, accounts from Ancona, of the
4th instant, assert that the city of Lepanto was
actually captured by the Greeks on the 13th ult.

Curt, Twelve o'Clock.—Although a Holiday
at the Bank, the Stock Exchange is open this
morning, and Consols have been done at 96-11,-, at
which price they remain steady, with little doing.
The Express from Paris has brought the French
Rentes at 1042 f. 85c,---Spanish 16.
FOREIGN MARICET.—Very little doing this
morning, and that only in Colombian Scrip. In all
other Foreign Securities nothing doing ; there-
fore the prices may be quoted as on Saturday.

Tl►e letters of " AN IRISH LANDLORD," on
the policy of encouraging the growth of British
Wool, and of permitting its free exportation, the
first of which appeared in THE SUN of the 13th
March, and the second a few days afterwards,
have, we perceive, together with our remarks on
the first letter, been reprinted in the form of a
pamphlet at Bristol. We now once more advert
to the subject, for the purpose merely of guard-
ing against its being inferred that the argu-
ments of the 4' Inisit LANDLORD," (forcible and
ingenious as we admit them to be), have con-
viaced us that the exportation of the peculiar
Wool of this country would not be deeply in-
jurious to our manufactures. Besides, the chief
question which occupied our attention • at the
time when the " hum LANDLORD" favoured us
with his communications, was. the great and
important conflict for ascendancy between the
advocates for the general principle of free
trade, and the less speculative supporters of
the principle that the direct agency of wise
and beneficent legislation is necessary to the
promotion and protection of the best interests of
society, The
" IRISH LANDLORD," though he
differs from us on the insulated proposition for
permitting the exportation of long wool, clearly
concurs with, us on the general principle; for he
asks, at the close of his second letter, whether
the giving of a bounty to encourage the growing
of wool in Great Britain and Ireland, and the
drawing back from the exporter the amount of
that bounty, would not be a benficial measure?"
It is thus evident, as we stated in our brief ob-
servations on his first letter, that with reference
to that branch of industry, with the real and
practical condition of which he is best acquaint-
ed, the 66 IRISH LANDLORD" is, like ourselves,
decidedly favourable to the principle of legislative
encouragement and regulation, as opposed to the
principle of free trade, or of leaving things in the
fashionable parlance, to find their level, by the
operation of what are called" natural causes."—
There is, therefore, no essential difference be-
tween us.

Mr. HILL, the King's Messenger, who arrived
at the Foreign Offi:e, Downing-street, on Thurs-
day, with dispatches from the Right lion. Sir
HENRY \% ELLES LEY, our Ambassador at Vienna,
also brought dispatches from Lord Viscount
STRANGFORD, our Ambassador at Constantinople,
to which considerable importance was attached.
The Noble Viscount had not a King's Messenger
in attendance upon him at Constantinople, and in
consequence sent his dispatches to Vienna, with
directions for them to be forwarded, with all
convenient speed, to the British Government.—
HILL, who was in attendance upon Sir
HEN itT WELLESLEY, was sent off by his Excel.
lency without loss of time ; and the messenger
pursued his journey with all possible speed.
