EXTRACTS -MOM TILE IYA my MORNING PAPERS,
rCh 1 8`23.

[THE TJMES.J
A. Dutch mail arrived last night. An article,-
under the head of Brussels states the very singular
circumstance, that a Sardinian corps is in pre.
paration, to be ready to join the Royalist bands
in Catalonia, as soon as the war breaks out be-
tween France and Spain. We should think the
assistance to be derived from such a corps would
be of a very dubious kind : but has the King of.
Sardinia, we ask, declared war against Spain ;
or does he mean tq attack that country without a
declaration ? Socha corps as that described met
upon the sea, ought to be considered as pirates,
or engaged in a piratical expedition.

Sbon after the receipt. of the Dutch mail, the
French Papers of Saturday arrived. There is
scarcely a paragraph in them worthy of noticeexcept
one which confirms the extraordinary statement
we have noticed abovey of the King of Sardinia's
intended invasion of Spain. The unpopularity
of the Spanish war is proved by daily accumu-
lating facts : it appears that in addition to the
disturbances at Lyons and Marseilles, there
has been a serious commotion at Ninon, a
considerable town on the Saone.— Th e clues-
lion' of the grant of 100 millions for carrying on
the war,- was to be debated in tke Peers on Sa-
turday,• and it WAS expected that the Duke de
Broglie would take occasion to lay before the
Chamber a proposition in reyrobation of the re-
cent expulsion of M. Manuel from the lower
house. The Gonsiitutionnel states,• that an ex-
press had arrived at Paris from Madrid, bringing
the intelligence of the opening of the Ordinary
Cortes, but, no details transpired. A story is
told of Bessieres, the Insergent General, having
gained a considerable prize in the provinchrl lot-
tery of Siguenza, the Mayor of which town
hesitated to pay him, till the Spanish Govern-
ment generously ordered the sum to be paid.—
Cone of the French Ministerial journals announces
with much pomp, that the nephew of the Russian
4.mbassador, who is a Colonel in the French
army, set off on Friday to his post. We suppose
that this personage is considered as more than
usually formidable,• as currying with him his
uncle's diplomatic rare, in addition. to his own
military skill.• Dues the Corsican Pozzo di
13orgo hope to be more successful than the Cor-
sican Buonaparte ? We shall see.—(lbid.)

[MORNING cuitoNtet.E..l
Our private Advices received yesterday hem
Paris, inform Us that a very unexpected' dilemma
bad occurred there, in consequence of the manly
declaration of the Portuguese Cortes', to con-
sider the aggression of the French as equally
levelled against Portugal, although her name is
not mentioned in the Ultra declarations, and also '
to hold' it as having commenced from the moment
a direct- wails. is made on any part of the Perlin-
*dia. This dilemma had been heightened by the
arrival of a formal Protest from Lisbon against
the principles contained in the French King's
Speech to the Chambers, together with a poi.
remptory order to the Portuguese Chargé d'Af-
faires in Paris to quit the French territory the
Moment the Due d'Augoultlme shall have crossed
the Spanish frontiers. This affair was the subject of
conversation in the high political circles, and it was
understood that It had given rise to some warm
altercations between M. de Villele and Sir
Charles Stuart. From the very commencement,
the name of Portugal has been studiously avoided
in all the declarations emanating both from Ve-
rona and the Ultra Cabinet of France, an act of
condescension pointedly shown to England, in
order not to involve her in the question of war,
by forcing her to act in conformity to the spirit
of existing treaties, which guarantee the integrity
of the Portuguese territory, without in any way
alluding to the changes that may occur in the form
of Government. W hen pressed for explanations
cu their premeditated attack, the French Ultras
have uniformly declared that they entertained no
Hostile intentions against Portugal, and it was
thought that these subterfuges, although con-
trasted with positive denunciations of vengeance"
against the system by which, both sections of the
Peninsula are equally governed, would have
been sufficient to ally the fears of. Portugal, whose
immediate protection was entrusted to the good
offices and fostering care of the British Cabinet.
The recent Declaration of the Lisbon Cortes,
and the strong attitude of self-defence in which
the Portuguese are placing themselves, are cir-
cumstances which M. de Villele says, materially
tend to embarrass the question of peace or war, as
it now stands, coda all probability they will throw
difficulties in the way of 'that very humane and
liberal plan of -mediation Sir Wm. AtCourt is
now engaged in at Madrid, The French Ultras
are astonished, when they recollect the manner
in which Portugal was formerly treated, that
England has not been able to keep her out of
the present scrape—a point that would have been
extremely desirable at this moment, when the
British, Goverment is sa strenuous in its exer-
tions to prevent the necessity of the French com-
mencing open hostilities, in order to set King
Ferdinand VII. at liberty, and change the Con-
stitution of Spain.

[NEW TIMELI 1
We have already said that we do not share the
apprehensions of those who think M. Manuel's
temporary expulsion from the:Chaminer of De-
puties will prodirce any serious disturbance in
France. is known there. What was to be
expected from a. needy lawyer, whose only claim
to distinction is his having advocated the cause
of Napoleon H. after the battle of Waterloo?
if the Members of the extreme right of the
Chamber evinced more zeal than judgment in
the manner in wititit they managed the expul-
*ton, Manuel's friends of the extreme left have
restorett,thern the ddvantage by their senseless
protests T hue gentry have the folly to deny
to the Chamber ail power of expulsion
to assert that it presents a confusion of the func-
tions of Legislator, Accuser, Reporter, Juryman,
