[MORNING lIARALO.]

Paris accounts of Wednesday, with twci3our-
nals of that date, the Jonrnal des. Debuts and
Etoile, were received yesterday. They contain
some very interesting information-=particularly
that which. relates to the relative situations of
Morillo and Quiroga, Gallicia. The army in.
that province had undergone a complete schism
—one part adhering to Quiroga, the other to
Whe has the' majority we 'have no
means of judging. But according to the Prench
Ultra Journals, 'whose evidence is good when it
is against themselVes,,Quirogt had with him four
regiment's.° Now',' whether or not this be a nume-
rical majority, it most probably exceeds the-party
of Morillo in effective strength and value—for
this good reason, hat they are of the regiments
which first raised the standard at the Isle of the
Leon in 1820, They may therefore be supposed
not only to:pot-sess superior.discipline, but to be
embarked life arid soul in the cause of the Cor-
tes, from political feeling, and from. their very
well knowing that their original sin of in,
surrection has placed them' in a state ofunre-
deemable reprobation. There is a letter from
Morillo.to Quiroga, ott, the occasion, which is a
'curiosity in itself, independently of the light' it
throws •on the circumstances. Its authenticity
may, not well be doubted. We should judge
from it that Morillo has calculated -with less
foresight than might have been expected.—
He °charges QUIROGA With having violated
a promise made to him at their parting.—
What this promise was does, not appear—
But it may have been to leave Spain with his fa-
mily. Even had he given thii pledge, whilst in
the °hands ;of- the traitor, he could hardly be
bound by it. Quiroge, however, ibstead' of.
leaving the.field cleat' for Morillo to make' MS
own bargain with the French, had no sooner" his
freedom than he addressed the army and: the
people, and proclaimed Morillo's treason. This
was not had dispatched a Messen
L ger to Corunna, with dispatches to the Public AU-.
thorities; for the purposeolo doubt, of opening the
way for the entrance of the French into that place.
After appealing' to Quiroga, iii mingled tones of
subdued reproach, and w binning Protestations of
hollow friendship and flattery', he' lets out the
secret of his tribulations with oeat naivete. He
appeals to Quiroga's delicacy," to retrace his
steps in order to. relieve him (Morillo) frem
:Quiroga, by la re..
“ ernbarrassti4nta" in.which
sistance, had placed him. The meatring'of this is,
'that the game which he had been playing:with the
French,, was crossed and ruined—" how can I
resist invasion," he says, " if you eagerly sepa;.
rate opinion from the force I must employ." So
then it is avowed by Ifirn'that Quiroga was sepa-
rating opinion from him—and moreover—though
he does not mention it—the best part of his
army, those who remained being new, un-
disciplino!cl, and uncomprontised' recruits.—Ac-
cordingly, if we may trust the 'Journal des
Morillo's game, was up he. sub-
Mitted unconditionally, and this man who pro-
claim ed such unrelenting hostility' to the in-
`vaders,, was marching in the front, and under the
banners of the French upon. Corunna. As far as
we can form an opinion at the moment, this in-
lelligence is' of the tWo rather auspitiouri than
'discouraging'to the Spaniards.
