PARIS PAPERS.

PARIS, JUNE 28.
Various reports prevailed yesterday on 'Change,
and produced a slight depression in the fund.
The only one of these reports which appears to
us to have any probability is, that Alicia has
isioed forth from the Seo d'Urgel with about
1,000 troops, to attempt once more to take the
tirld.—Journal de Paris.

proposals have been made by foreign bankers, it appears that
to restore the credit of Spain, and to establish a plan of finance,
which would put an end to the embarrassments of
vernment. As a first measure, and to recompense
the tithes and some other taxes of the ancient regime have been,
re-established, which the people will not pay without repug-•
trance, and so much the more, as the partisans of the Constitu-
tion will not cease to raise their voices against the re-establish-
ment of these ancient charges. The Regency hold , frequent
sittings at the residence of the General-in-Chief, but nothing
has yet resulted from them, to induce us to hope for a mo-
derate Constitutional regime; on the contrary, every thing
tends to the re-establishment of the absolute regime, nearly
on the same footing as in 1820, with the exception of the
Inquisition, against which his Royal Highness and all those
around him have openly declared. They are occupied, how-
ever, in organizing the general superintendence of surveil.
lance, at the head of which is placed M. Arias de Freda. It
will commence its operations by the execution of a Decree of
the Regency, which interdicts the freedom of the press, and
orders domiciliary visits at the houses of all booksellers, or
other individuals, for the purpose of seizing all works contrary
to religion or absolute Government. This Decree contains
other severe measures against the partisans of the Constitution,
the greater part of whom have Joined the Guerillas of their
party to escape persecution, for both in the capital and in the
provinces denunciations succeed each other, always under the
Influence of fanatics; and if the mass of the nation were to be
Consulted, taking for that mass the stupid and ignorant class,
which form the majority of the population, the Constitutional
system would be for ever abolished in Spain. Such are the effects
of the re-action in the places occupied by the men of the Faith.
Notwithstanding this, however, it is observed that this same
people, who so cruelly pronounce against the Constitutionalists*,
are in no hurry to take up arms to combat them, and it is
with difficulty hitherto, that from fifteen to eighteen thousand..
men have been. assembled, of which the Army of the Faith is
composed. The entrance of the French into Valencia produced
a deep sensation' amongst the Constitutionalists. Ballasteros
did not venture to hazard an action, his army being almost-
entirely composed of recruits, who would perhaps have profit-
ed by the circumstance to return home. He therefore thought
it best to retire in the greatest order in three columns on the
Xacar and the Gabriel, leaving some few corps. in the rear of
Valence. His line extends to Cuenca, occupied by a Consti-
tutional division, which has its advanced posts at Huete, and
.observes Madrid. It is believed, however, that the troops
of Ballasteros may be brought into opemtion by the end of
this month. Gen. 3lolitor entered Valencia with 12,000 men,
including three thousand Spanish Royalists. Ile has in a great
degree exposed his rear in undertaking this long projected ex--
pedition. He has received the best support in the city, and.
has prevented the vengeance which might have been carried
into effect. Some arrests, however, have taken place, and five
or six inhabitants have been ill-treated. The coalesced troops
have since marched to observe Ballasteros on the Xacar and on
Cuenca, and to secure the communications with Madrid; they.
are also fortifying Murviedro, and forming considerable tnaga-
The French army have, in short, found in Valencia a
very important point d'appui•
The Constitutional army of Galicia appears to limit itself to
the defence of that vast Province, rather than aiding others;
there are also from all quarters a great number of emigrants,
Constitutionalists. The Provincial Deputation of Corunna
finds itself much embarrassed to meet the expences of the war e
the military preparations are made with difficulty.; every body
notwithstanding, is arming, but no one marches. General
Morino has scarcely 8,000 men to guard the frontiers, or effect
any_ operation.
P Ju NE 211.--Whitt will become of the Spanish people,
if it is at length hazarded to require its co-operation in money,
in labour, or means of conveyance ? .If, for instance, the wee
sin of distress (which has been sounded by the .Begency in its
Proclamation) should be followed by serious demands, and the
effects of non-compliance, will the Constitutional Generals,
Officers, or Employes, submit ? iVliat will become of them
if they do not submit ? Who will pay the expencee of the oc-
cupation, If it should be considered necessary ? What will be-
come of the Government now established, it the country is not
occupied ? Who will be the soldiers and the officers of the
new array, setting aside those of the Army of the Faith ? What
will those of the Army of the Faith do, if they remain the
armed arbiters of the future ? Where are capable statesmen
•to be found, if the Constitutionalists and Afranseadoes are
set aside ? How will the Government be carried on by the
Members of the Regency of Urge!, or the Regency of Ma-
drid ? What means will suffice for the ordinary and extraor-
dinary expences, without having recourse to forced imposts or
loans ? flow can they borrow without , acknowledging the old.
debt ? How can the old and new debts be paid ? Where are
the guarantees to be found, if the national estates are restored.
to their former proprietors? How can the support of- the
monks and privileged orders be reckoned upon, if the nati
onal.
estates are retained ? flow, lastly, can peace, honour, or se.
curies-, be obtained for the two countries by means of this.,
perilous and useless enterprise ?
( From the Constitutionnel.
PARIS, JUNE 28.—The Cortes appear to have a determined
will. It is not evident that the whole population is against
them. Lastly, the war is not finished. How can the Regency,
who ought not to be ignorant either of the operation of the pas-
&us or the -effervescence of re-actions and haired, especially in
a fiery and vindictive nation, how, we say, can the Regency
forget the chances of war, and the dangers of reprisal ? How
can the proscribed, by any sudden loss of memory, not become
proscribers in their turn? How dare the Spanish Journals of
the ancient regime, watched and under censorship as they are
with so much vigilance, say, in speaking of the Constitutional—
ists, " they plunder every one, ravage every where—will not
God exterminate this impious race ?" We say, with regret, if
it is wished to insure to Spain half a century of civil war, they
could not speak otherwise. %Vill the chiefs of our army
abandon Spain to the fury of resections, and the deadly rem.,
&since of parties ? •

MADRID, JUNE: 23.—We have received news of the utmost
importance. The Cortes have not dared to enter Cadiz, and
they are nthhe Isle of Leon.' The King and Royal Feral
have entered Cadiz.
The news of the violent attempt at Seville has so exasperatel
the people of Madrid, that the Regency has been necessitate
to take the most prudent measures to prevent the houses of the.
Members of the Cortex, and the Chiefs of the militia, who are
now in the Isle of Leon, from being demolished, as were those
of Seville. Calm was restored the moment the Proclamation
and Decree of the Regency against them were published. •

this separation has been effected, and what are the mativ.ef-
We merely give the news.as it has been transmitted to II! by

The Gazette contains several official decrees ; one appointing
M. de Oliveira Minister of the Interior : another reinstating

ings against General Stockier, now (June 7th)aprisoner in the
'tower of St. Vincent de Belim : his Majesty not choosing to
interfere with the course of justice, does not order him to be
restored to full liberty, but, considering the great services that
he has done to the State, orders the whole province of Estre-
thatittra to be assigned him aS his abode, within the limits of
which he is to remain. _ .

Letters from Seville of the 4th say, that there had been a
dreadful tumult in that city on the Ist, caused by the Militia
•of Seville and those of Madrid, who‘plundered several houses;
some persons were wounded, and three killed. The troops at
;length restored tranquillity.

JtrwE 12.—DEcnEts.

I. Thanking the inhahitanta of the most noble and ever
loyal city. of Lisbon for the tranquillity and good order they
have ma►ntained, orders, as there are sufficient troops in the
city, and it is therefore unnecessary that the national guard
shouki continue armed, that the commanders of the guard shall
deliver into the royal arsenal the arms, &c., that they have re-
ceived from it. . .

The services of the militia being no longer called for, it is or-
dered,-for the benefit of agriculture, that they shall return to
their respective districts.
" Considering the noble resolution taken on the 27th of May,
by the Infant Don Miguel, my much-beloved and esteemed
fon, and the fidelity with which he executed it, giving rise to
'the great events from which has resulted the change of s vio-
lent and anarchical system, for the state of liberty, in which I
now am to give my subjects a constitution which shall be suita-
ble to their customs, and be more conformable to the represen-
tative constitution of the other monarchies of Europe ; and de-
sirous of giving the said Infant a further proof Of my confidence
in him, I am pleased to declare my resolution, that he shall be
called to the Council of the War Minister, whenever important
affairs relative to the army are treated of."
pm follows a list of the officers whom his Majesty has ap-
pointed to form the statrof the Infant. Don Miguel. The Chief
of the Staffis the Count de Barbicena, and the Sub-chief Gene-

.Palace of
}3emposto the congratulations of an Infinite number of persons
"on the happy events which have restored him to the enjoyment

Itainalliao, because her return depends on the completion of
'the works which his Majesty has ordered in her apartments at
:,Quelez.
The Ministers hold daily conferences, some of which last
' iboVe four hours. Our relations with Brazil appear particu-
larly to call the attention of the Government.
Two persons of tried merit are spoken of as destined to go to
Rio de Janeiro on an important mission.
Our Charge d'Affaires at Paris has just arrived here, with all
Ale persons belonging to that leption, in consequence of the
orders of the late Government. His Majesty desires to restore
as soon as possible the relations of amity with all the nations of
-Europe, and will adopt the most efficacious means for tha
purpose.

JOIE 14.
A Supplement to. the Gazette contains a decree, restoring
the Count Amarante to the titles, honours, and emolument of

nity of the throne, and public order and happiness.

a Committee of tive persons as censors of all Journals, An-
nounces, Proclamations, &c. contained under three printed
