PARIS PAPERS.

(From the ConsfitutionneL

. _
PARIS, JUNE 21.—Tho Itioniteur states, that the (tarps of
our army which is marching towards Andalusia, - will reach
Seville the 21st or 22d inst., and that it will immediately march
for Cadiz. The corps d'annee is the one of which the com-
mand has been confided to General Bourdosoult ; and, admit-
ting that the division commanded by General Bourmont is
united to it, both together will not amount to more than 12,000
men; from quitting Madrid, the two corps 'together did not
exceed 15,000, and it is certainly not an exaggerated calcula-

tion to estimate at 3,000 the number of -troops which remain
behind, either on account of sickness, or especially to preserve
the route, and maintain the communications in a double line of
operations of about 100 leagues.
It is difficult to conceive that with 12,000 men any attack
can be made ou a city like Cadiz, which is in a situation that
may be almost said to be out of the reach of attack, and which
is besides surrounded by fortresses and the sea. On the land
side, to effect even the blockade of Cadiz, an army of 100,000
men would scarcely be sufficient; and seaward the blockade
presents still greater difficulties on account of the winds and
currents, which rarely permit vessels to be stationed sufficiently
nerdto the harbour to close the entrance.

[EXTRACT Or A PRIVATE LETTER.I
" VIENNA, JUNE 9.—lt is certain that _M. de Lebzeltern'
.our Ambassador at' Petersburgh, has transmitted dispatches'
from which it appears tint', notwithstanding, the changes
which have been effected amongst several great functionaries,
there will be no change in the relations between Russia and
Austria, and the connections which subsist between the two
Courts will continue on the same footing: It is certain also
that the Count de Nesselrode is still in office, anti so long as
he continues at the head of the Department for Foreign Affairs
in Russia, we may be convinced that the system of the Prince
de Metternich will prevail at the Court of St.' Petersburgh. But
notwithstanding all these facts, which are indisputable, per-
sons who arc in theivay of knowing what is passing, are con-
vinced that, within a very short period, there will be other
Ministerial changes in Russia, and that men who for some
time :have had no influence, will be placed at the head of
affairs.

` Other accounts which we have received from Russia.attract
public attention. • The Russian army of Caucasus; 'under tho
orders of General Yermoloft, has lately received further rein-
forcements;and is still to have additional troops. This augmen-
tation of troops on 'die confines of Asia must have some object;
ft' is not against Persia that these forces will be tuarebed,
.it
being understood that a perfect understanding and intimate
connection subsistbetwcen Russia and Persia. The assembling
of a strong army on the frontiers of Persia is, 'therefore, con-
sidered as a measure of .precaution, in order to have the, troops
disposable in case of an event for sometime anticipated—that
is to any, in case of a rupture between Ruisia and a great
Maritime Power, whose vast possessions in Asia are not suffi-
ciently guarded against an invasion, if war should break out
between these two Powers.

" lire expect here, with much, impatienCe, intelligence re-
specting the manner of ,the reception of the Russian Note sent
by our Court to Constantinople, in answer to the letter of the

Reis-Effendi to the Count de Nesseliode. This Note will de-
cide the nature of the future relit:ions between Russia and the
Porte, and every thing will depend upon the determination
now adopted by the Divan, after being informed of-the de-
inandS of Russia. Every ulterior meamAre respecting the RUti.
shut army of the soutli is postponed until this determination
of the Porte is known. The reduction even of the army of the
South, ordered by the Ukase. respecting the diminution of the
Russian troops on active service, is provisionally suspended.
"It appears, according to the last accounts from Turkey,

hat the Porte still distrusts the intentions of Russia, anti that

from this motive, it dares • not remove the troops from the right
bank of the Danube, so that the reinibreements to be drawn

from hence by • the Ottoman army in. Thcssaly are incon
siderable. • . .

44 M. de Tatischef is still here; it is,now said that he again
expects new orders, before proceeding to his ulterior desti-
nation, although it has been for some months announced that
he would not delay to set out for Constantinople."

JUIiE 21.—The Courier du Bar Min; printed at
Strasburg, contains a telegraphic dispatch, transmitted from
Paris, the 15th instant, which concludes with the following
paragraph . .

" The Constitution was abolished -at Lisbon on the Ist of

June."

The lifonfteur has not yet given such positive intelligence
respecting this event. It limits itself to the repeating what it
states to have been learnt upon -this subject from letters inter-
cepted at the head-quarters of the Count de Iteurmont. It would
seem from them that on the 3(l:June the King was restored. to
liberty and to the enjoyment of his authority. It rinty,:how-
ever, be observed, that if all was' settled on the 3d, it is ex.
traordinary that on the 17th, the date of the lain, telegraphic
dispatch lrom the Prince, there Was no certain intelligence at
Madrid.
The Etta, which announced 'the day before yesterday that
all was settled at Lisbon, did not yesterday fulfil the promise
it gave at the end of the announcement by those words, Which
heldfortb;sornuch, 9, The details to-morrow"
Nouiteur,
.but Still in its unofficial part, says, that an
officer of our staff, returning on the 13th from a mission ,to
Salamanca, brought intelligence.that the division of General
d'Aniarante was to set out on the Bth, to return to Portugal.'
If the CountiVAinarante did not set-out from Salamanca till
the lith, what beeoMes of the report of the Portuguese officers
mentioned in the 2d. half of the celebrated t.legraphic dispatch
of the oth ? Uncertainty,. Inaweve4cantiot he much longer pro-
longed.

Puy ERD A trs gl3.—Yesterthiyev.thing heavy discharges
of musk.etry were heard iu the direction of Notiry, an elevated
mountain in the front of the French Cerdagne, between the
Communes.of Der and LaTerche, at this moment covered with
snow. If it is really on this point that Minis has proceeded,
we must believe, that this General is ..inuch pressed, and that
even at Scu lie must be harrassod at every step; and experience
great loss.
tuiE ix Mourtheo. -- -Vire have been in-
formed that Mina has been foreed to throw hiMself on the
mountain of Nottry, pursued by' the Baton d*EroleS and three
French battalions,-and that. the troop which was at Val (knives
was gone to take up it position at the defile of Tosas, to cut off'
his retreat, by Alp. ' At ten &clock we learned that Mina hall
been chased from the mountain of Noiiry, and had thrown him-
self on Uoria. At noon we pereeived some troops descend i'rem
the mountains which conduct to the wood .of Palau, where
the army arrived an hour afterwards: At this place there
was at bitter conflict until six o'clock in the-evening. Press-
ed. on all *ides, tile Constitutionalists Must have experieneed
considerable loss. Expect much from our circumstantial
at, this .moment I can only furnish theM. by the next
courier, but'depen(l upon it aihra knows not on which side to
direct himself..
Towa or.C.;tnot., Atte 15, Four in Pre lifornio,tr.Ve
have been awakened by the fire of musketry not far from us.—
iteema that in the mAlit ltlina abandoned the wood of Palau
to proceed in our direction. Ile can no longor keep the plain,
and must endeavour to regain the mountains. • Baron d'Eroles
has with him nearly three hundred Cavalry,- and all the - valley
of Carol is tinder arms. It Is impossible that his army can
escape ; and if M ins succeed in gaining the Sen, it will be with
few. troops. !low even he can get there is the inquiry of every
body. . . .

Ax, JUNE 15.—The troops tithe line in mirrison in this
town left this c%''ening at three o'clock,' for Hospitalet. .The
National Guard is ready to depart instantly on receipt of

orders.
