PARES PAPERS.

PARIS, MAY 30.
[From the Journal des Dads.]
The following official notice was published at
Madrid on the 23d :

The Commandant of the detachments of the
army of La Mancha has sent me from Toledo,
under this date, the following dispatch, which I
copy literally :
" Conformable to your Excellency's orders, I have to inform
you of the entrance of the troops under my command into this
citylToledo) on the 20th, after having on the preceding day
maintained a brisk fire against the Constitutional troops, a great
part of whom we made prisoners. ,Had we been supplied with
provisions and ammunition, and had not the troops been
fatigued, I would have pursued them vigorously. I.hope to
receive reinforcements from your Eicellency, seeing that I have
made many prisoners, and some are daily brought in here.
" Chaleco is rallying the dispersed soldiers of Abisbal, and
he already has a considerable force, with two pieces of artillery,
at Ztlanzanares.

" I am this moment notifying the surrender to him, u your
Excellency ordered ; but that monster yields to no considera-
tion. I wait for your orders to march in pursuit of him, and I
have no doubt of our having the glory of exterminating these
enemies of order."

communicate this to the heroic people of
Madrid, in order that they may rejoice. So long
as I shall remain at the head of the valiant inha-
bitants of La Mancha, the enemy shall never
,have a moment of rest until I exterminate him.

ARMY OP THE PYRENEES.
PROCLAMATION.

HIS ROYAL ITIOUNESS THE DUKE D'ANGOULEME, GE-
NEIIAL-IN-CIIIEF OF TIIE FRENCH ARMY, TO TUE
SPANIARDS.
SPANIARDS—Before the French Army passed the Pyren-
nees, I declared to your generous nation, that France was not
at war with it. _ I announced to it that we came as friends and

...
auxiliaries, to aid it in restoring the altars, delivering the King,
and re-establishing in its bosom justice, order, and peace. I
promised respect to property, sathty to persons, and protection
to the. peaceable. Spain gave credit to my word. The pro-
vinces I have passed through have received the French soldiery
as brethren, and the public voice will have told you whether
they have justified this reception, and whether I have kept my

engagement.
Spaniards-If your King were still in his capital, the noble
mission that the King, my uncle, has confided to me, and that
you are acquainted with in all its parts, would be already ac-
complished, I should have only, after having restored the
Monarch to liberty, to call his paternal solicitude to the evils
his people have suffered, to the necessity they have of repose
for the present and security for the future.
The absence of his Majesty imposei other duties on me:
the command of the army belongs to me, but whatever may
be the bonds which attach me to your King, which unite France
to Spain, the provinces delivered by our troops cannot and
ought not to be governed by foreigners.
From the frontiers to the gates of Madrid their administra-
tion has been confided provisionally to honourable Spaniards,
whose devotion and tide ity are known to his Majesty, and who
have acquired in those difficult circumstances new claims to
his gratitude and the esteem of the nation.
The moment is arrived for establishing, in a solemn and stable
manner, a Regency to govern the country, to organize a regu-
lar army, and to concert with me on the means of consummating
our great work, the deliverance of your King. This establish-
ment presents serious difficulties, which &an-bless and loyalty
do not permit us to dissimulate, but which necessity must con-
quer.
His Majesty's choice cannot be known, and it is not possible,
without painfully prolonging the woes which press on the King
anti the nation, to call upon the provinces to concur in it.
In this difficult conjuncture, and fur which the past offers no
precedent to follow, 1 thought the properest measure and the
most national, and the (most agrgeable to the King, was to
convoke the ancient Supreme Council of Castile, and the Su-
preme Council of the Indies_, whose high and various powers
and authority extend over the kingdom and its foreign posses-
sions, and to confide to those great bodies (independent by their
elevation, and by, the political position of those who compose
them) the care of selecting the Members of the Regency.
I have consequently. convoked these Councils, who will. make
their choice knoWn to you.
The persons who shall be honoured with their suffrages will
exercise the necessary authority until the wished-for day when.
your King, happy and five, can occupy himself with the con-
solidation of. his Throne, and securing, in his turn, the happi-
ness of his subjects.
Spaniards ! Take the word of a Bourbon for it. The bene-
ficent Monarch who has sent tne to you, will never separate in
his mind his vows for the liberty of a King of his blood, and
the just hopes ofa great and generous nation, the ally and frtend
of France.
At the Grand Ilead-quarters of illeovendlls, May 23, 1823.
LOUIS ANTOINE,
By his Royal Highness the Prince Generalissimo,
The Councillor of State, Civil Commissary of his Most
Christian Majesty, DE MARTIGNAC.

[From the Pihne of Sunday.]
PARIS, JUNE l .—The Etoile of yesterday says
—" Every measure is taken in order to surround
Mina, so as to compel him to tight or to throw
himself into the sea." It is an admirable thing
that the measures of which the Eloile speaks are
to have so decisive a result. It appears to Us,
however, that before we compel Mina to fight or
to throw himself into the sea, it is necessary to
know where he is; and as, up to this moment,
the place of his real abode is still a problem,
we are at a loss to conceive what measures cart
have been taken to realise the hopes which the
the Etoile give us.
For several days past reports unfavourable to
Gen. Morino have been circulated. It is pre-
tended that he has betrayed the oathi he took to
the Constitution, and gone over to the side of its
adversaries. We have never placed any reliance
on these absurd suppositions. Gen. Morino •has
given too many proofs of fidelity to his word, for
such assertions to find the least credit with
who know him. They (his friends) recuil.•(
that, at the time when he was lighting agui.ist
Bolivar, lie refused the offer of a million of
piastres (about live million francs), together with
a command in the American national army, to
quit the service of Ferdinand. At present we
learn that, far from having the least idea of quit-
ting the Constitutional cause, the General has
just sold his property in order to pay his troops,
whose pay was greatly in arrear. Such conduct
is worthy of admiration, and still it does not sur-
prise us on the part of Morillo.
BAYONNE, MAY 24.—The Archbishop of Tarrazonas
Grand Inquisitor of Spain, who has for eighteen. months
been living at a charming country house in our neighbour-
hood, has received several orders from the Junta to go to re-
sume possession of his august functions. Not being in hags
to obey, a last warning has been just addressed to him,
bearing that it was necessary for him to repair to Spain at
all eVents.

ENVIRONS Or ST. SEBASTIAN, MAY O.—The Comman-
der of Santona, Palarea, has ordered a Chief called Guorge,
taken by him in the sortie of the 15th to be shot. A rein-
te:
rFement was demanded by the Chid of the Army of the
aith in Biscay from Vittoria, which was refused him, as no
troops could be spared from the garrison. Besides the deser-
tion which has taken place among the troops of. Longa and
Zabala, it is asserted that those of the Cure Gorosyli have also
gone over to the Constitutionalists, as they were unwilling to sub-
mit to any regular discipline. If the above Chiefs cannot make
any proselytes they themselves will follow the torrent. Ac-
cording to an Order of the Day, all the officers of the French
army are to receive an increase of pay (the minimum 50 francs
a month), On amount of the high price of provisions in Spain.
A hundred head of oxen, which were going to the army in
Spain, have fallen into the hands of one of the Constitutional
uerillas.
