PARIS PAPERS.

( From the ConatitutionneLi
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
PERPIGNAN, APRIL 27.—Our troops have established them.
selves in the town of Figueras, which has induced the garrison
of the citadel to throw some bombs ; three houses have been
destroyed, and some inhabitants killed. We have lost three

soldiers.
The enemy have made a movement. General Mina was at
Olot in person on the 25th. Every thing gives reason to believe
that our army will make a movement in the night, and that a
strong reconnoissance will be pursued to-morrow morning, on
the side of Olot.
28, EIGHT A.M.—Yesterday evening wagons were sent to
Vilaton and Vigonet, where the division of the Baron d'Eroles

is stationed.
PARIS, MAY s.—Some of the Journals alluded yesterday
to the brilliant fete given on the preceding day, at the Cha-
teau of St. Ouen, at which were assembled the great functionaries
of the State, the Ministers, the Ambassadors, and three or four
hundred persons who were invited. After the dejeune, there
was a spectacle. One Journal stated that this fete was given
by the City of Paris, but the Journal des Dibats of yesterday
says, that it was the Countess de Cayla who did the honours.
Beams OF THE DANUBE, APRIL 23.—Letters from Vienna
state that the French Ambassador at that Court, the Mar-
quess de Caraman, has communicated to the Austrian Govern.
ment the plan which France intends to follow with regard to
Spain, announcing at the same time that it has already been
approved by the Cabinet of St. Pctersburgh.
It is said, that, according to this plan of operations, it is in-
tended to venerate to Madrid, to establish a Government in the
name of king Ferdinand, to re-establish the Cortes according to
the ancient form, and also the ancient Constitution of Spain ;
having, however, regard to the difference of times and circum-
stances. As to any thing further, the conduct of Austria in
Naples and Piedmont is to be imitated. The neutrality of
England is considered certain ; and it would be witnessed with
pleasure that she should hereafter act the part of Mediator.
As soon as the Duke d'Angouleme arrives at Madrid, he
is to occupy himself, in the name of Ferdinand, with the organi-
sation of a Royalist army, which is to be employed to subject
Andalusia and Gallicia, and to bring back to obedienoe the
Spanish Provinces which persist in the principles of the revo-
lution. There does not appear to be any intention of proceeds
ing beyond Madrid. It is not known how long the French
troops will remain in Spain to protect the new order of things,
but it is koped their presence will not be long necessary.—(Nu-
remberg Gazette.)

STOCKHOLM, MARCH 11.— It is publicly stated, although
there has not yet been any communication from the Govern-
ment, that General Suchtelen, the Russian Minister accredited
to our Court, has made (at a private audience) to the King, pro-
positions of a very important nature. lie has proposed,it is said,
an intimate alliance between Russia and Sweden, to counter-
balance that between England and Denmark, certain secret
stipulations of which are, it is said, not conformable to the
views of the Cabinet of Saint Petersburgh.
Coaru, Mancir 31.—The Turkish garrison of Corinth,
which surrendered by capitulation to the Greeks, and which
were to be conveyed to the coast of Asia, has only partly ar-
rived. A numerous corps violated the capitulation, and
attempted on the road with arms in their hands to escape to
Thessaly. After obtaining some success, this corps was at.
tacked by the brave Odysseus, who repulsed them in the
Morea. The Turks could not re-enter Corinth, which was
already occupied by the Greeks ; they thee endeavoured to
gain l'atras, but they were soon surrounded by their enemies,
who put them all to the sword. Such is the substance of the
official bulletin which the Greek Senate has published re-
specting this affair. nitres will probably soon share the fate
of Corinth.
PARIS, MAY s.—The Journal de la Cote d'Or contains a
Circular, addressed by the Prefect to the Mayors of his district,
calling upon them fur all their surveillance respecting the cir-
culation of news spread in the country:—
" I tun informed (says this functionary) that malevolence
has renewed in this department a means of agitation, to which,
wretched and worn out as it is, it attaches its last and guilty
hopes—it is that of circulating in the country and amongst its
inhabitants alarming intelligence, as absurd as it Is devoid of
all truth. It is for ybu, Mr. Mayor—it is for your zeal to para-
lyse these last dints of an expiring faction, and, by making
known the truth, to dissipate all vain terror, all fear, and all
disquietude."
A similar Circular has also been addressed by the Prefect of
La Meurthe to the Mayors of his department. This.document
inserted in the Journal printed at Nancy, contains the follow.:
ing, passage :
"rell those inhabitants who have been alarmed, the aruth
and the whole truth, for the King's Government does not rely
upon falsehood—tell them it is false that there is any reason to
fear a foreign occupation. It is false that any new calls will
be made upon the classes discharged by the law, or that any
extraordinary taxes will he levied, &c.—tell them especially
that our troops are not wanting in fidelity, that they are not
deficient in courage ; and if other reports, equally erroneous
and absurd, have been circulated, or are still propagated, op-
pose to them the same arms, the truth alone. Join the vene-
rable Pastors of your 'parishes in every where restoring har-
mony, security, and confidence; and preserve also your Com-
munes from all disquietude and all disorder."

[menace OF A PRIVATE LETTER.]
" Vittoria, April 30.—The Constitutional Authorities of Sa-
ragossa, justly disquieted in consequence of the disposition of
the population, whose effervescence was at its height, sent to
General Molitor, requesting him to hasten his arrival, or to
send a detachment to the city in order to prevent the excesses
which there was reason to apprehend. A corps of troops ar.
rived in time to tranquillize the inhabitants, and to prevent
public order from being disturbed by violence. The French
were considered as liberators by the people, to whom the revo.
lutionary yoke had become insupportable, and those even who
were still disposed to heap upon them reproaches and menaces,
have blessed the protection, without which they had every thing
to fear from a first moment of liberty.
" It is admirable, and almost incredible, that we occupy. one-
third or Spain, and that no act of reprisal has been conmutted.
To be enabled to judge how astonishing this moderation is, one
must see on the spot the state of exasperation, or of barbarous
despotism, into which the Revolutionists had plunged the in.
habitants.
rxTuAter OF A PRIVATE LETTER FROM LONDON, MAY 1.
" The debate in the House of Commons, which has lasted
three days, or rather three nights, has exhausted for the mo-
ment the great question of our neutrality in the contest between
France and Spain. It is proved to demonstration, that nu per-
son in England seriously wishes for war ; that no party calcu-
lates upon that extremity, and that all the interests attach
themselves to the Ministerial system. The brilliant manner in
which Mr. Peel testified his adhesion to the measures and opi-
nions of Mr. Canning, proves that there is no longer any diffe-
rence In the Cabinet. On the other hand, the tone of modern-
tion and aitixted politeness which Mr. Canning substituted for
an unfriendly coldness in speaking of the French Ministry,
seems to indicate that the views of England and France respect-
ing the affairs of Spain are not so different but that they may
be conciliated. The only difficulty is, as was said by Mr.
Stuart Wortley and Mr. Peel, to know what is the opinion
round which it would be possible to rally the majority of the
Spanish nation. That there may he henceforth a centre of
union in Spain, it is probable that the war may be terminated
by an arrangement more [promptly titan was previously be.

Mina exercises a great influence in Catalonia ; be prevents
as much as lie Can the operations of the Prince Generalissimo
from being known, while his spies in Spanish Cerdagna give
him exact intelligence of all the movements of our troops. This

RIPE CHERRIES IN AeRIL.—A few days ago,
a gentleinan who was riding near Uckfleld observed a man
with a couple of cherries (the produce of a neighbouring hot.
house), tied on a stick.
The gentleman, on passing, inquired
the price of these early specimens of summer fruit, and w
informed that they were only a guinea each , Checking
his horse for the moment, he rew from his pocket an embroi-
dered. purse, and placed ,in the hands of the man who had the.
cherries, two sovereigns and two shillings ; at the same moment
taking the fruit, he with the great nonchalancs ate it,
.ob•
serving aloud, it was very tine and full flavoured. He then
replaced his purse in his pocket, put his hone in a canter, and
left the man of whom hehad purchased the cherries, and our
informant, staring after him with amazement, undecided whe-
ther to account for his conduct on the score of 'liberality, folly,
or a mixture of both.,:-(Brighton, May 7.)
