EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

We have, at a late hour this forenoon; re-
ceived the Paris 'Papers of Monday evening, and
the Pitote of yesterday. We have also seen a
private letter, which states that Malaga has been
taken by the French, and that the Duke de
GUICIIE had been admitted to dine with King
FERDINAND. The following are extracts from
the Papers :

( From the Etoile of Monday night.)

TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH FROM BAYONNE.
BEBurtEtt-MAYOR, SEPT. 11.
7 o'Clc.ck in the Morning.

MARSHAL LAURISTON TO THE MINISTER OF WAR

Yesterday at eight o'clock at night the trenches
were opened before the Citadel of Pampeluna,
at a distance of 200 toises from the Citadel.

Notwithstanding the fire of the enemy, with a
continued storm, and rain falling in torrents,
during two hours our soldiers braved every thing.
The whole of the parallel is under cover from
the enemy's balls.
We have had but few wounded.

PARIS, SEPT. 15.—As we announced yester-
day, his Royal Highness the Duke of Angou-
lethe would not receive General Maya, and de-
clared that he would not listen to any thing until
the King of Spain was at his head-quarters, when
his Majesty would be free to grant a general
amnesty.

His Royal Highness offered at the same time, to
those Members of the Cortes;who did not wish to
remain on the Spanish Continent, the protection of
his fleet, to transport them wherever they might
think fit.

The Duke do Guiche, who went to Cadiz on
the sth at eleven o'clock in the morning, had not
yet returned to head-quarters at eleven o'clock
at night.

BEFORE BARCELONA, SEPT. 8.--Two Aides-
de-Camp, one belonging to Mina, the other to
Rotten, attempted to make their escape from
Barcelona. Unfortunately, they were perceived
from the citadel, and were arrested the moment
they were going to embark, and have been con-
ducted to prison. It is probable that Rotten will
have them shot.

They write from Grenada (22d August), that
the troops of Ballasteros, since his submission,
remain quietly in their cantonments. Romagosa has
not yet entered Calvigna, where his troops are.

[From the Moniteur.]
PORT ST. MARY, SEPT. s.—We are now
lodged at the Trocadero.
Yesterday our batteries set on fire the com-
mercial magazines of wood at Puntales. The
wind was high.

A number of reports prevail here respecting
Cadiz. It is said that General Valdez assembled

a Council of War, and told them that he could
not any longer defend the place. It is also -stated
that General Maya confessed that their best
troops were destroyed at the Trocadero.

[There is a long Bulletin from Marshal the
Duke of Reggio, Commander of a corps, with
an account that -the reduction of Corunna has
permitted General Bourck to dispose of most of
his troops ; and also stating, that on the 3lst
August the garrison of l'ampeluna made a sortie,
and that after a combat of three hours the enemy
were forced to retire. Also that the works be-
fore Cadiz are pushed on with great vigour. The
flotilla receives every day fresh reinforcements.)

M. Magnan, of the 60th regiment, sent as a
Courier to Paris to the Minister of War, quitted
the army on the Bth. Marshal Mon cey had still
his head-quarters at Torre Ambarra. The gar-
rison of Tarragona had retired to the place.
They are become demoralized, and desert la
great numbers to our advanced posts.

( From the Pilate of yesterday.)

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 12.—The Marquis of Hast-
ings, heretofore Governor of the Indies, has ar.;
rived here with his family.

(From the Journal des Debuts of Monday.)

MADRID, SEPT. 9.—We are here in great joy.
Since the taking of the Trocadero a thousand
different reports have been spread. This affair
has produced a wonderful effect in Cadiz. Ile-
cording to the reports we hear several persons
have been killed. Valdez having declared that
in the present state of things he could not defend
the town, they sent General Alava, with a letter
from the King to the Duke of Angouleme.—
His Royal Highness answered, that he would, not
treat except with the King, and that he would
not communicate with General Maya. The
Duke. of Guiche is charged with the answer
of the Duke to Ferdinand ; but there has been
no suspension in the preparations for a descent on
the Isle of Leon, and in a few days Cadiz will
open her gates, or we shall be masters of the Isle
of Leon; when a capitulation must take place.

We yesterday extracted from the Quotidienne -
of Sunday part of an article, dated Vienna, 3tl
September, and stating that an interview is about
to be held at Czarnowitz, between the Emperors
of RUSSIA and AUSTRIA, preparatory to the
holding of another General Congress on the
affairs of Spain and Portugal. The Vienna
article alluded to had been taken by the Quell-
dienne from the Allgemeine Zeitung. The original,
contained an additional and important paragraph,
which we now submit to our Readers:—
Prince Metternich, who will be present at the interview of
the two first Sovereigns of the North, is to submit to them a
plan which has for its object to consolidate the peace of Europe
; on new foundations, by founding a new sort of national repre-
sentation, without at all derogating from the monarchical prin-
ciples established from time immemorial, or from the system of
legitiinacy recognised by all the Members of the Holy Alliance.
It is presumed that this Minister did not think it right to pre-
' sent his plan at Verona, where be would have experienced a
dangerous opposition on the part of the British Minister, but
he desires to have the previous approbation of these two
Mo-
narchs, before submitting it to the examination of A great as-
sembly."

It seems to be at length evident, from the
annunciation, that the design is sc-
riously entertained, as we have for some time
past conjectured, of introducing the representa-
tive principle into the governments of ail the
great continental states. The King of OnnsstA,
as our Readers are aware, has declared his inten-
tion of setting the example. Denmark has al-
ready determined on the adoption of a similar
measurer—and unvvit is announced that Prince
METTERNICR is to submit, for general adop-
tion, at a Congress, under the auspices of the two
Emperors, a plan for " consolidating the peace of
Europe," by " founding a new sort of national re-
presentation !"—We cannot see any good reason
Tor withholding the expression of our sincere sa.

tisfaction at this prospect. Institutions pro-
ceeding from the will of arbitrary Monarchs,
may not, it is true, come up, in the first instance,
to English ideas of perfection and utility. But
when the career of improvement has been once
fairly entered on, and when the erection of ite.
presentative Legislatures has in every country of
Europe given to an enlightened body of its citi-
zens the right and freedom of reasoning, of
speaking, and of deciding upon national affairs,
and particularly if the right of controlling tax-
ation be vested in their hands, we need not
fear but that the time will eventually arrive
when every thing must be conceded to the
popular voice, and that it is really necessary to
the public happiness.—We cannot under-
stand why the Ailgemeine Zeitung has pre-
sumed that this measure has been delayed
from the apprehension of its encountering oppo-
sition on the part of England. It must be quit('
evident, on the contrary, that England cannot
be otherwise than favourable to every thing
which tends.to assimilate the institutions of other
countries with her own.

By intelligence from Leghorn of the Stll inst.,
we learn that the captains of several vessels, ar*

rived from the Archipelago, have stated that the
greatest joy prevails in all the Greek Islands.
News had been received that Colcontroni had
gained a signal victory over the Turks, who were
about to enter the Peloponnesus. The carnago
was terrible, and the Turkish army may be
looked on as annihilated ; on the other hand the
Turkish fleet is in a situation of great embarrass-
ment, for the Greek_ fleet, numerous and well
appointed, has taken its station at the entrance of
the lonian sea, and cuts off the communication
of the Captain Paella with the Dardanelles.—
The Greek fleet is to remain in this ppsi-

tion as much as possible, in order to pre-
vent the Turks from leaving the lonian sea,
and going into the Archipelago. Favourable
news has also been received from Caudia. The
Creeks in that island amount to 34,000 fighting
men, without including a number of countrymen,
who act as-guerillas. The strong places are oc-
cupied by the Turks, but they have not been
,able so supply them with provisions. The plague
commits great ravages among them, and they are
closely blockaded. -A Greek squadron detached
from the main fleet, has gone towards Alexandria,
to watch the remains of the Egyptian fleet. The
stoppage of trade is complained of throughout
the Levant.

CITY, Twelve o'clock.---Consols opened this
morning at 83 for money, and 831 to for the
account, with little doing. The Expresses from
Paris have brought the French Funds at 91f.9.5e.
Spanish 422.

FOREIGN MARKET.--Little doing in all Fo-
reign Funds, this being Settling Day for the
above securities. No defaulter at present.

PARIS, SEPT. 13.—We have heard a number
of persons who bear the Royal cause a warm and rather jealous
lOve (as all true and deep passions are), observe on some bold
phrases of an accredited journal, to attribute to the Ministry an
Intention and a conduct which would make it lose that confi-
dence of its first friends, of which alone the strength can support
it. According to these suspicions, the French Government has
stayed the march of victory on the ramparts of the Trneadero, to
resume the thread hitherto broken of certain negotiations. In a
word, the most brilliant, the most decisive event of the war has
been made use of to treat with rebpllion, instead of being taken
advantage of to crush it. Let thb Royalists not permit them-
selves to be influenced by terrors, which are exaggerated in
their minds by the hesitations of men in power, which must
easily be put to flight by the simple aspect of the nature of
things. &nee the opening of the glorious campaign, under-
taken to deliver Ferdinand, and to re-establish the Monarchi-
cal principle in Europe, the soldiers of our young army have
done too many wonders, and Royalist opinion has consequently
made too great a ptogrs, etito render it possible that this happy
movement can be stopped. From the day when the gun was
fired on the Bidassoa, from the day when the white flag drove
the last shreds of the tri-coloured flag to the columns of Her-
cules, the destinies of Monarchy have assumed so firm a pos-
ture, that this consideration alone should remove from the
minds of good citizens the idea of all these negotiations which,
on the least insinuation of a Gazette, is attributed to that Go-
vernment which only lives on their confidence, Qno-
iidienne.)

The Lisbon Gazette of the 23d of August con
tains the following account under the head o
Madrid Lieutenant-General O'Donnel was
to have entered Salamanca on the 12th of Aug.
with 3,000 infantry and 300 cavalry, iutendino•
to collect the troops which were there, at Le!
desma and at 'Alva do 'formes, and to proceed
with the whole to Ciudad Rodrigo. But the
Governor of that place having intercepted the
correspondence of General O'Donnel with the
Commandant of the Artillery and an engineer
in the garrison, relative to the manner in
which the fortress was to be delivered up, he ar-
rested the artillery officer, and sent him to Ba-
dajoz, and took measures for putting the place in
the best state of defence possible. By the inter-
cepted correspondence, the Governor also learned
that Colonel Farnezio, who was with the Ewe-
' cinado, intended going over to the Royalist troops;
in consequence of which he sent orders for the
Colonel to repair immediately with the cavalry to
Ciudad , Rodrigo; but Farnezio apprehending
this, picked out the best cavalry, and set off for
Salamanca, to join the Royalists there. The Em-
pecinado retreated upon Ciudad Rodrigo, and
has his cavalry in the adjacent towns."
The Duke of SAXE WEIMAR arrived in _town
on Monday evening, and left town yesterday
afternoon, on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of
CLARENCE, at Bushey.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER arrived
at his residence in Downing-street, yesterday at
twelve o'clock, from Rist, near Salsoe, in Bed-
fordshire.
We have the satisfaction to state from au-
thority the most undoubted, that the ,14011. D
CHANCELLOR is a great deal better ; and that his
Lordship has been only slightly indisposed.
The Gazette of last night contains a notice that
application is intended to be made to Parliament in the next
Session, for an Act to authorise the Corporation of London, to
levy tolls upon all horses, carriages, and cattle passing ov
tero
r
Blackfriars.bridge; and to borrow money, upon the dithe said tolls, for the repairing and maintaining the said bridge,
or to empower the Corporation to borrow a certain sum tor
• those purposes, upon the credit of the Orphans' Fund.
BONDED GOODS.—The following important
commercial intelligence is communicated to us from a high au-
thority in the Custom House Department :—" It has been de-
cided by a letter from the Secretary of the
,T.reasury, that b.ond-
ed gooth, .warehoused before sth July 1623, may. remain in
warehouse without payment of duty, for the unexpired part of
five years allowed by their Lordships' ,Mipute of the Oth of
August 1815, provided the parties renew their bonds as hereto-
fore.—( Liverpool Mercury.)
We understand it is in contemplation to petition Parliament
for leave to erect a Pier our foe
on the coast at Deal,
thereby forming a harbour for shipping in all seasons. The
utility of such an undertaking to the interests of our naval ser-
vice, must be apparent to every one, besides the incalculable
benefit to the once populous town of Deal. His Majesty's ship
Sphynx was commissioned on Friday at Chatham, by
.Captain
Curtis. An Express arrived at Chatham on Friday evening with
orders far the Brisk, of 10 guns, Captain Stewart, to proceed
Lode
sea with all dispatch, in consequence of which she sailed the
nett day for the Nore. Saturday evening three of the Com..
missioners of the Navy arrived at Chatham in
n the D
tte. art, and
landed at the Commissioners stairs.—( Kenti Gaze)
A. correspondent, who has himself witnessed
the facts, tells us that there is a set of ruffians
who prowl about the streets of an evening, throw-
ing vitriol on the dresses of men and women.—
