PARIS PAPERS.

PARIS, Ana. s.—Letters from Madrid affirm
that the late sortie from Cadiz was directed by
two veteran foreign Generals—that the troops of
Bordesoulle sustained great loss—that Lopez
Banos had moved on Talavera, and effected his
junction with Colonel Amor, their united strength
being 6,000 foot and 1,500 horse. Villa Campa
was also endeavouring to join Ballasteros, and it
was thought probable that the blockading army
musit send out large reconnoitering detachments.
note).
it appears from letters just received from
Cadiz, that. the French squadron occasions much
uneasiuess among the Revolutionists. It is
affirmed that Riego has promised a reward of '
300,000 francs to any one who would destroy
any of the ships of the Blockading Squadron.—
The discontent of the people augments, and
they not long since carried in triumph one of
our officers who was sent in with a flag of truce,
in hopes that the reign of Valdes aad his con-
sorts would soon be ended.--(Gazette ale Fiance).
A letter from Tolosa, dated July 30, after de-
tailing the excesses committed at Saragossa on the
20th and following days, on the authority of an
eye-fitness, says, that " after the arrests, a great
number of respectable inhabitants left Saragossa
by night. The MI and 23d, the discontent of the
populace was general, because they remained
alone with the priests in the city, which now more
resembles the meanest village of Arragon than
the capital of the province. Extraordinary cou-
riers were dispatched by the French authorities
to the Duke d'A ngouleme, and it is hoped that his
Royal Highness will order a detachment of at
least 6,000 or 6,000 men to maintain tranquillity
at Saragossa, Such is the fine use made of the
8,000 muskets-distributed to the populace on the
entrance of the French. Persons from Valencia
assert, that similar scenes to those acted in Sara-
gossa had taken place in that city ; and that 3000
families had left it, and were wandering over the
country. There are some guerillas in the pro-
vince, who have already captured several hun-
dred black cattle destined for the army. It is
asserted, that yesterday (the 29th) the garrison
of Pampeluna made another sortie. We expect
the details with impatience."—(Pitote.)

BLOCKADE OF ST. SEBASTIAN, JULY 29,
Marshal Lauriston arrived here yesterday.—
He has inspected the camp of the 19th light
troops and the 43d of the line, and has also visit.
eel the advanced posts. Immediately on his
arrival he sent Col. Clouel to demand the answer
of the besieged by 4 o'cidek this afternoon. It
has not yet been received. The Marshal has
established his head-quarters at Ernani.
The day before yesterday three artillerymen
:deserted from St. Sebastian. On being brought
before General Iticard, they stated that the be-
sieged were preparing to make a sortie, but the
precise time was not known, because the soldiers,
Oho mistrusted their officers, were desirous of
making it by day, while they, on the contrary,
wished it to be a night sally.
The arrival of the Marshal, and his summons
to the garrison, will doubtless change the inten-
tion of Gen. O'Donnel.

MADRID, JULY no.
Lev. AN EXTRAMMINARY COUrtIEILI
News from Cadiz of the 21st has arrived, and
great solicitude was experienced there in regard
:to Ballasteros, and with reason. We learn that
this General is in the environs of Jaen shut up
between the corps of General Molitor, on its
•way from Grenada, that of Gen. Latour Foiainc,
from Anducar, and the entire population who
have risen and are armed against him.
A French officer having been sent with a hag
of truce into Cadiz on the '2sth of July, was re-
oeived with transports of joy by the people, who
loudly expressed their wish for the deliverance
of the King. The scarcity of water, bread, and
West is beginning to he felt by a numerous popu-
h,iti-on, weary of suffering fur a cause which is not
4-heir own.

(EXTRACT of A PRIVATE LETTER.)
-LEIPSIC,-JuLY 245.—1 t is not yet known for which system
Count Lambert, successor to M. d'Obreskow, as Director Ge-
neral of Tratle and Customs in Russia, has declared himself ;
but as it is kmiwn that the latter resigned because they would
not preserve the system and the tarif hitherto followed, it is
supposed that Count Lambert will follow a system more con-
formable to the true interests of Russia, and tending to extend
its commercial relations, in place of IF-a:clog them still more.
It also seems that the Commission recently appointed to exa-
mine the Customs and the tarif has not yet terminated its
labours, and cannot make its Report till it has employed all
the numerous materials which have been transmitted to it from
all the western and, southern parts of the Russian Empire.—
The new Russiao Minister of Finances, M. de Cauvien, is not
the partizan of the prohibitive system, as is amply proved by
the writings he has published on political economy, and which
further prove that he is a Man possessed of great knowledge,
having studied all the best works on these important matters.
It is said that manufactures are on the increase in Poland
and Russia since the introduction of the prohibitive system ;
this is true as to some, particularly the manufactory of coarse
cloths, but the greater part of the remainder cannot subsist
without the support of Government. Russian commerce is in
a state of stagnation, and it will not be again active till the system
is altered. The evil resulting from the prohibitive system is
now showing itself in Prussia. Since the publication of the last re-
gulations as to the customs, and particularly since they have
made all commodities which merely pass through the Prussian
territories pay the duties on consumption, the transit through
this country has been almost nothing, and the neighbouring
countries gain what the Prussians lose. Commodities arc car-
ried far round to avoid the Prussian Custom-houses, and new
commercial routes are establishing in countries wh:re fortnetly
the roads were entirely deserted.
