EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

The dearth of foreign intelligence yesterday
is amply compensated by the variety, interest,
and importance of that which we have received
this morning, and which is partly subjoined, and
partly contained in our preceding columns. Re-
specting the greater portion of it, it h
' necessary that we should intrude any re-
marks upon our Readers. The events speak
for themselves, The vigour, too, with which
the King of SPAIN seems to be pursuing his career
of fanaticism and vengeance, and the contrary
manifestations, on the other hand, of the exist.
once of an inflexible Constitutional spirit, ex-
hibited in the conduct of the troops of IIALLAS.
TRIIOII, as well as in Catalonia, and in Cadiz and
other parts of Spain, are the sure indications of
that long train of calamities and desolation
of which Spain is destined to become the
victim, until one or other of her conflict-
ing parties shall have obtained an entire

and indisputable ascendancy. It must never
be forgotten that the Km* and his faction
owe their present superiority to the sup-
port of the French-army, and that they must owe
its continuance to the continued presence of that
cause to which it is indebted for its ephemeral
existence. We say for its ephetneral existence; for,
as we have already on several occasions observed,
we hold it to be as impossible for the French
to remain long in possession of the country
without exciting an universal spirit of hostility
against themselves, as it is impossible for the
Royalist Government to maintain its absolutism,
if the French should feel it to be necessary or
should think it prudent to withdraw. Without
their presence and assistance, the present state of

things cannot endure ; and mitt► their presence,
tho very parties themselves to whom it is so
necessary have already shown a disposition to
quarrel, and will, ore long, from their ungovern-
able temper, and national detestation of all

foreign interference with their concerns, be
precipitated into open hostility against it. Th© ar-
ticle which we have extracted from theCaditEspec-
lador of the Ist of October (perhaps the last paper
published in that City in which a writer had the

liberty to give free expression to his opinions)
will be read with mournful feelings and gives rise
to painful reflections. Since the misfortunes
of the Constitutionalists have been consum-
mated, there has been too general a dis-
position manifested in this country to con-
demn all the measures, and to arraign the
talents and the capacity of the principal
Spanish leaders to conduct their country through
the tremendous crisis which has terminated in
its apparent ruin. Nothing can be more un-
generous or unjust than these aspersions on the
ill-fated victims of their patriotism, and of the
baseness and treachery of some of the men whom
they had entrusted with important military
commands, and to whose defection, rather
than to any want of energy, or of skilful
and adequate preparations for the defence of the
country by the Cortes and the Constitutional
Government, the dowufal of Spaniels freedom and

the triumph of French injustice and aggression
ought really to be attributed.

SPAIN.

MAD a ID, OCT. 10.—( Private Correspondence.)
—a' The dawn of peace and the happiness of
Spain will not last long. The Decrees of the
King, of the lit and 4th of this month, have
spread a general consternation in Madrid
amongst all classes, not excepting the Mouks
and the Royalists. But this is not all :--already
they are preparing buildings for the Inquisition,
and more Royal Decrees are expected, which, it
is said, will be still more rigorous, amongst whick
will be one for a forced contribution of twenty
millions of reale on the town of Madrid,
and the exile of a great number of Nobles,
with a confiscation of their property. Ia short,
I cannot state to you the deplorable situation
in which we are plunged by the perfidious advi-
sors to our Monarch ; and this at a moment when
Lopez Banos has still 6000 men in Estremaddra,
and Morillo exercises a great influence in Galicia,
while Mina still remains firm in Catalonia. Is it
possible they can put in force such decrees and
arrests? The occupation of Saint Sebastian,
Pampeluna, and Cadiz, by the French army, is
another cause of discontent on the part of the
Royalists. It is also notorious that the King is not
vary intimate with the Prince Generalissimo, who
wishes the King to fulfil his promises, and to
throw a veil over what has passed. But Fer-
dinand remains obstinate, and wishes to be abso-
lute, and to govern according to his pleasure.—
It is estimated that, according to the Decree of
the 4th, 15,000 persons will be obliged to leave
Madrid, and who are the flower of the popula•

[on."

It was reported this day on 'Change, that ?rl.
Clermont Tonnerre had given in his resignation,
and that Corbiere will be Minister of the Marine,
and will be replaced by the Minister of the Home
Department, the Duke Montmorency.
They continue to speak a great deal about
Ballasteros. Several singular things are laid re-
specting that General.
Independent of the change of the Duke de Bel-
luno, it is reported that there will be several other
changes in the Ministry.
A great deal is already spoken of the grand
fetes which are to be given in Paris to our Army
of Spain, on their return. The following, it is
said, has been already decided upon :
Each regiment will be represented by a cloptv•
tation. These deputations will feast during ten
days.

In the morning they will defile before his Ma-
jesty ; at four o'clock military repasts will take
place at Tivoti, and in the garden of Beaujon.
At night, after dinner, they will go to the
Theatre of Port St. Martin, where will be repre-
sented a piece in three acts, mixed with singing,
dancing, and combats.
The evening will end with balls in the markets
of Paris : the military alone can enter Port St.
Martin during the representation of the new
piece. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke, and
Duchess of Angouleme will be present. Nino
Authors have been charged with the execution of
the ten new divertisements.
TRIESTI, OCT. 6.---We have received from
Zante the confirmation of the defeat of the
Pacha of Scutari, who was the great hope of the
Porte. It happened on the 20th August, at
Agrapha, where the brave and unfortunate Bez-
zari merited to be compared with Leonidas.—
They carried at his funeral the heads of seventeen
Beys, or Ages, whom he killed with his own
hand before he received his mortal wound. In-
dependent of 5,000 killed of the Turks, they
also lost all their artillery and baggage, and 37
standards.—(Augsburg Gazette.)
(From the Etoile of Mimday evening.)
MADRID, OCT. 10.—A decree of the 4th, dated
at Xeres, banishes all those from Madrid wha

have exercised any civil or military employment
during the revolution. In consequence of this,
the order has been given by the Intendant de ltt
Vigilance, to all persons included iu this clecree,
to provide themselves without delay IVith the ne-
cessary passports.

For one moment it was a question whether
the Members of the Revolutionary Government
who remained at Cadiz, should be arrested or not.
A new Decree is spoken of, which will hold
away a great number of grandees ; among them
the Count of Onate, the Dukes of Altamira, 01
Abrantes, and of Medina Cell, the Duchess of
Benavente, the Marquesses of Alcaniz, of Santa
Cruz, of Villa Franca, and the Prince of Anglo"
are mentioned.

A contribution of 6.000,000 (francs) is to be
levied on the city of Madrid.
Colonel Amor has capitulated with 330 cavalry
which he had remaining with him.
The French Gerdes du Corps have almost sit
set out for Aranjuez. The reginient of Cuiras.

Sifts of the Guards has also set out for the road
to Andalusia, where it is to take up temporary
positions by detachments, which indicates the
'approaching return of the King, who is expected
at Madrid on the 21st, with the Duke d'Angou-
leme.

It is Morillo who has seized the galleons com-
ing from Manilla.

The Junta of Purification has received orders
from the Reency to verify within ten days the
titles of the functionaries threatened with the
loan of their employments, and of those who are
to recover their situations.

Every thing is preparing at Aranjuez for the
reception of their Alajesties. The King will ar-
'rive at Madrid on Nov. (.); and the town is quite
intoxicated with joy. Another Decree of the
King has ordered the dissolution of the Army.

His Majesty has sent the Collars of the Golden
Fleece to the Prince of Carignan, and the Chief
of the French staff, Count Guitleminot. The
same honour has been conferred on the Duke of
Rijar, gentleman of the hed-chatnber, who served
his Majesty in this capacity constantly at Cadiz,
stud on the Count of Corres.

Among the persons who are to be sent away
from Madrid, are the Nobles of Spain ‘vlio serv-
*a in the voluntary Militia of the Cortes, and
their number is said to amount to eleven.
It is said:that the Duke del Parque, the Prince
of Anglona, the Marquis of Alcaniz, and the
Duke of Abrautes, will be banished from the
kingdom.
At the.time when RiegO was passing through
liancanires,-a regiment of cavalry (Constitu-
tionals) had advanced from Estramadura, with
the:intention, it was supposed, of carrying him
off. The regiment of Cuirassiers de Berry made
preparations to attack them, when of a sudden
the others, amounting to 470 horse, demanded
and obtained an honourable capitulation. This
was the fine regiment of Lusitania.
SaVILLa, OCT. 9.--(Bt/ 'Express).—Their Ma-
jesties, as well as the Infantes, continue to enjoy
the most perfect health. This morning, at ten
o'clock, they went out on foot, and repaired to
the Patriarchal and Metropolitan Church, to at-
tend Te Deum. The troops were drawn up on
their passage.
• Their Majesties were conducted in procession
tip to the.' principal altar, where the King was
Seated on a chair, under a canopy, and the In-
fentes in places near his Majesty. The Te Deum
was sang with a full orchestra, and the ceremony
was magnificent.
At noon, all the civil and military bodies of
the town were admitted' to kiss the King's hand ;
and his Majesty granted to the Ecclesiastical
body the precious favour of being the first pre-
sea ted..
S MLLE) OCT. 10.—The Duke of Angouleme
passed through here going to Carmona. He was
received with the greatest enthusiasm. His
second interview of the King was the most moving
thing possible. The Princes and the Princesses
expressed their gratitude to him with a grace and
a vivacity which words cannot describe. It was
delightful to them to salute in their Liberator a
Prince of their own family.
MAItttID, OCT. 14.—Our Journals publish the
following extract from a Report made by the
Military Commandant of Cabra to the Military
.Commandant at Cordova :
received yesterday the important news of the occupation
of Cadiz by the brave French troops, our allies. Immediately.
I caused the official notice of this event to he pnblished, which
excited transports of joy among the whole faithful population
of this town ; hut, unfortunately, this town is the head-quarters
of the troops under General liallasteros, and the whole of his
soldiers, from the first to the last, are deeply imbued with those
mischievous principles with which they infected our soil.
" These incorrigible revolutionists had the audacity to tear
down the official notice. They show themselves on every point
unfaithful to the convention of Aug. 4. What has preserved
these guilty.propensities in them, have been the perverse and
milkman intentions of General Liallasteros, who spread among
them the proclamation which the King was forced to sign at
Cadix under the daggers of his enemies.
"The Revolutionists profit by this piece to dare and threaten
the Royalists. This state of things cannot he changed till the
troops are sent away who are so much opposed to the sovereign-
trot' the King, our master.'
" (Wire, Oct. 7."
Puts, OCT. 20.—The Duke of Dino is ap-
pointed a Lieutenant-General. Count de La-
rochejaquelin, Brigadier-General, supplies his
plaCe as Commandant of the brigade of Cuirras-
siers of the Garde Royale.
• Orders have been given for the disbanding the corps of
aallasteros, and measures taken for the prompt execution of
these orders.

[From El Espectador of Oct. 1.1
[The first article under the head of Cadiz is the Proclamation
of ,King Ferdinand, dated Cadiz, September 30, and published
In Tux Sox of Saturday last.]
Senores Alava y Torres returned last night from Puerto de
Santa Maria.
The enemy's squadron, consisting of 20 large vessels, con.
tinues is observation.
At three o'clock in the evening, a Spanish flag of truce sailed
for Puertode Santa Maria.
The whole of yesterday has been passed in anxiety and un-
certainty. "What will die Constitutional Government do ?"
" What will his Majesty say ?" Such are the questions which
have been asked byevery one. At length a Manifesto by his
Majesty, published last night, has soothed the public mind,
and calmed the existing disquietude, in as far as it could be
,aalined in the situation in which we are placed. The General of
the 'French army having long since made it be understood by
Ins Majesty's Government, that means might be found for
bringing abeut.a decorous accommodation which might termi-
nate the evils that afflict the country, the Ministers endea-
voured to ascertain the intentions of those who are charged
with the task of compelling Spain by force of arms to
make reforms in her, fundamental law. The events
of Seville afforded either a motive or a pretext for the
Count of Carthigena to renounce his obedience to the Consti-
tutional Government. Not many days had elapsed before this
event WAR followed by the capitulation of General Ballasteros
with one of the enemy's Generals, Count Molitor. This new
blow to the Coustitutinnalists threw us into a state of the
greatest affliction. All the resources of the Government were
now reduced to the small army of the valiant Mina, to whom,
whatever may be our future lot, history will assign the first
plebe among the men worthy to be called Spaniards, who have
perfenned their part during this greet crisis ; a weak division
intended to form a basis for organizing an army in Extrema-
dura, the command of which had just been instructed to General
Palencia ; and to the possession of some strong places still in
the Tower of the Constitutionalists, because their defence had
beep ,intrtuopi to Spaniards who valued the honour of their
country area the eat* of national independence, whatever opi-
nion's thermight have formed as to the perfection or imperfrec-
.
tion of our political institutions.
The third army, which, weak in numbers as it was, had I
been created out of nothing by the gallant and trulya honour.
able General Don Jose Zayas, to whom the men of I parties,
and even hie cum-race, will one day do justice, was in-
trusted to Camp Marshal Don Rafael del Riego ; but that
Conamander, within a few days after ,he joined the army,
found his force so reduced, that lie could undertake no
operation of consequence against the enemy. The siege of
the • Gaditanian Island was in- the mean time prosecuted
in the most active manner by land and sea, while the Govern-
ment hid no hope'of auecmtr. England—to whom the Gonad-
tutional Government of Spain had appealed, 'presenting bases
which showed how much we had lowered our former preten.

sions,,in our anxiety for that interference to which England
had indicated a disposition from the comencenient of the war,
intimated through the medium of her Ambassador, who had
been in Gibraltar since the entrance of the French into Seville,
that she would only interfere in the case of the Cabinet of the
Tuileries assenting to it; but that she would not compromise
herself in any way which might displease France. The French
Governmentliad haughtily contemned every interference, and
more particularly that of Great Britain. Would to Heaven,
that the Cabinet of St. James's may one day deplore the effects
of its anti-liberal policy and still more may it please God,
that the Spaniards may for ever do without the Government
of the Britons, and that they may be eternally the allies of its
enemies t

The French, in consequence of their immense force in com-
parison with ours, which amounts scarcely to one-half of what is
necessary for the garrison of the Gaditanian Island, have ob-
tained advantages. They attacked the Trocadero on the 30th of
August, and notwithstanding that it was defended by the brave
Graces and a gallant garrison, which kept its ground in the se.
cond line for four hours and a half, they succeeded in possess.
ing themselves of that point, because our soldiers, overcome by
their fatigue, had nothing but their valour to oppose to the
fresh troops of the enemy.
Three weeks after, the castle of San Petri WM cannonaded
by land and sea, and, without its being known what may
have caused its surrender, it was, after an attack of three hours,
entered by the enemy. Not many more days had passed over,
when symptoms of sedition appeared in several companies of
the regiment of San Alarcial, one of the corps which had shown
the greatest resolution in defence of the Constitutional system.
—This circumstance gave great uneasiness to the General-in-
Chief and the Government. _ _

A stop was soon put to the evil by the punishment of the
most guilty ; but this event powerfully augmented the anxieties.
of the Government, and its situation became daily more equivo-
cal, and was rendered extremely critical by the want of re-
sources, occasioned by the protest of the bills drawn on funds
in London, in the hands of Senor Machado, who had declared
them to be at the disposal ofhis Majesty's Government:.
The town of Cadiz sustained a severe bombardment on the
23d of September, and although that attack produced no other
result than the ruin of some, and in no respect dismayed the
garrison or the inhabitants, the Government conceived lluil the
case was arrived, in which it would be improper longer to ex-
pose to the evils of war, without any utility far the cause of in.
dependence and national liberty, the meritorious population of
Cadiz, who have so many claims on the gratitude of Spaniards,
and even on the respect of their enemies.
This combination of misfortunes induced the Government
to propose the departure of the King, and in execution of this
purpose, his Majesty's resolution was communicated to the
Duke of Migouleme; but us that General insisted on other
conditions, which appeared to be founded on arrogance, the
Liberals concurred in the general determination of expecting
from the King's concessions which they would not submit to
receive from a foreign force. Re the result what it may, we
have been consistent In our principles, and we shall show that
we have yielded, knowing that our expectations are founded on
the information which the King possesses of the wishes of the
majority of the judicious part of' the nation.
In fact, his Majesty's manifesto, which we insert, is an im-
portant document, which holds out to us a flattering prospect.
His Majesty promises to the Spaniards, that they shall not
again be go% erned by the system they have so much detested,
but that their personal security, their property, and their civil
liberties, shall be respected. The oblivion of the past is a
measure necessary for that confidence which is indispensable
to the reconciliation of all parties. The recognition of the debts
which have been contracted gives sanction to the principle that
he was in perfect liberty at the time when his 'enemies declared
the contrary.
In fine, the promise which is made of the preservation of the
rank of so many meritorious
,men, whose talents and virtues
may yet prove of the greatest utility to their country, and the
protection which is offered to the brave militia of Madrid, Se-
ville, and other places, exhibit the Father who loves his sub.
jects, and who appreciates the sacrifice of their comforts which
they made in abandoning their homes and their families, when
the situation of their country required it.
These considerations afford ground for flattering hopes, and
the free and spontaneous manner in which the Royal promise
has been given, is calculated to induce us to trust that his Ma-
jesty, instructed by experience, now knows bow to render his
subjects happy, and is resolved to pursue that object in order to
obtain a distinguished place among the Monarchs who have
securedto themselves the esteem and gratitude of the people
whom Providence intrusted to theitcsre.

clTT,Twclveo'Clock.—•Consols opened iltB3ll,
at which price they are steady, with scarce any
fluctuation, as most persons seem unwilling to
speculate, fearing the result of the King of
SPAIN'S tyrannical conduct, which they imagine
may at some future period involve England in
hostilities. The Expresses from Paris have
brought the French Rentes at 00f. 55e. and
Spanish Bonds at 261, the leaving off price on
Monday afternoon. The change in the French
Ministry has also had some effect on the minds
of the public, and it is imagined that France wilt
not suffer the King of SPAIN to pursue his present

career.

FOREIGN MARKET.—On the arrival of the
Expresses this morning from Paris Spanish
Bonds greatly fluctuated—opened at 26f, 26,
27, 2.1, 2414, 251.

We copy the following letter, addressed to

LEATH OF Till EARL OF URIDGEWATER.—•:WO
regret to announce the death of this greatly esteemed Noble-
man, who expired yesterday morning at six o'clock, at his seat,
Ashridge, lierts, in the 71st year of his age. Ills Lordship
MIS also Viscount BRACKLItY and Baron ELLESMERE. He
is succeeded In his titles by his brother FRANCIS HENRY,
who is a Dignitary of the Church. There are few whose loss
will. be snore severely felt than that of the deceased Noble Earl.
He gave employment to every labourer in his neighbourhood
who was disposed to work; and thus dispensed charity with an
unsparing hand, in the best of all moods of administering it,
by promoting industry. The effect of his benevolence was to
make all around him contented and happy.—The Lite Earl was.
a General in the Army, and Colonel of the 14th Regiment of
Dragoons. . .
'rho Right Hon. GrORGE CANNING is at pre-
sent on a visit to his Noble Friend the Earl of Morley, at his
delightful seat, Saltram. The Worshipful the Mayor, N.
Lockyer, gsq" has called meeting of the Freemen of Ply-
mouth, to be holden this day at the Guildhall, to determine on
the propriety of presenting the freedom of the burgh, by patent,
to Mr. Canning, for the eminent services,, he has rendered his
Country. That the Free Men will be unanimous in following
up the wishes of the Chief Magistrate, there can be no doubt.
—This mark of attention to the Right Hon. Secretary will, we
are persuaded, he gratifying to the Noble Earl of Morley,
whose exertions to add to the prosperity of the town deserves
the marked Attention and gratitude of its inhabitants.—( Devon-
Aire Freeholder.)
COURT or esterday the LORD
MAYOR held a Court of Aldermen at Guildhall,' at which
17,9001. of the Orphan's debt was ordered to be paid off, and
the Chamberlain was directed to give the several parties inter-
wed therein notice thereof.—Richard Martin, Esq., .M.P., at-
tended
the Court, and was heard in reepect of the regulation of
Smithfield Market,: and the Court referred it to a Committee,
to take Mr. Martin's statement Into consideration, and report
their opinion thereon.—The Commissioners of the Court of Re-
quests for the month of November next were appointed.
The hearing of Mr. COBBETTiI case yesterday
before the Magistrates was resumed, and,.after a
very long discussion, decided in favour of that
gentleman. The lessees were convicted in 18
penalties, of only forty shillings each, the parties
undertaking not to appeal.
We are sorry to learn that Captain PARRY,
almost immediately after his return from his
arduous expedition, was seized with a violent
fever. •
