EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(From the Times.)

We have received the Parris papers of Tuesday, and a
letter from our private correspondent of the same date.
They bring accounts from Madrid of the 16th, according
to which Ferdinand has commissioned his Ambassadors in
Paris and London to intimate to the French and English
Governments, that as the neutrality in the atiiirs of Por-
tugal has been violated on their part, by the admission of
French and English men into the service of Don Pedro,
the Spanish Government will hereafter pursue whatever
course it in'y deem expedient with regard to Portugal.
It is added, that a messenger had arrived at Madrid on the
I4th, from Sr. Petersburg'', with the Emperor's reite-

rated declaration-of his intention to take no part in the
Present contest for the Portuguese throne. Both these
stories sound very improbable. The French papers seem
to be sadly in want of matter to fill their columns with,
and they have literally got up a discussion on the question,
whether there is or not any subject of sufficient public in-
terest to enable them to carry on their usual paper war.
The responsible editor of the Tribune has been condemned,
at the Court of Assizes, on one of the numberless actions
brought against that paper by the Government, to six
months' imprisonment and a fine of 6,000 francs. The
I Palter has made a new appeal to the public, who will,
most likely, once more come to its assistance by subscrip-
tions for the sum required.
(From Galignani's Messenger of Tuesday.)

The Courrier Francois gives the following letter of
the 15th inst., received by express from Madrid :—" Last
evening a courier arrived in haste at the residence of M.
L'Alcnlia, with despatches from M. De Montealegre,
stating—first, that accounts had been received of the cap-
ture of a part of Don Miguel's fleet by Admiral Sartorius,
who conducted his prizes to Oporto, where Don Pedro
immediately enrolled in his service all such of the prisoners
as were willing to enter, while those who maintained their
fidelity to Don Miguel were kept in confinement. His
intelligence was accompanied by a note from Don Miguel,
by which he tells his uncle, that though he by no means
considered his cause lost, his Catholic Majesty might, if
the aid of the Spanish troops became necessary for the
support of the good cause of Portugal, freely send his
soldiers over the frontier, as the principle of non-inter-
vention had been violated by the navy of England. The
note, however, concludes with expressions of the hopes of
Don Miguel, that he would be able to dispense with hie
succour, and that his own troops would be sufficient to
gain a complete victory over the enemies of the throne and
the altar. This morning a council was held, at which
this great question of the intervention of England was
discussed, and it is even believed that the courier which
h!ings you this letter conveys to your Government the de-
cision it came to on this point. In this note M. D'Al
cudia complains severely of the conduct of England, and
acquaints the French Cabinet that henceforth there is
nothing to prevent Spain from crossing the boundaries of
Portugal. Orders have also been sent to M. d'Ofalia and
M. Zea Bermudez, to insist, with the Govenrnents to
which they are accredited, upon the rights of entering
Portugal, created by the proceedings of England. While
the Minister was engaged in writing these notes, a courier
extraordinary arrived from St. Peteisburgh with de-
spatches from M. Perez de la Cavena, which appear to
hive in some measure checked the arrogance of our Mini-
sters. In fact, it is said that these despatches were not
very flattering to our Government, inasmuch as Russia
dues not propose to afford it the support of its army, in
ease a rupture should occur between Spain and Great
Britain. The Emperor, however, says, that he feels
pleasure in believing that the King of Spain will not
abandon the cause of his Ally, the King of Portugal, were
tt even necessary that an intervention should take place
which would give occasion for the Russian Government
sod all Europe to admire the bravery of the army of
Castile. This phrase of M. de Nesselrode might be taken
to have been dictated either by the Duke of Wellington or
Prince Metternich. After all, there is but little to ani-
mate the hopes of the Apostolics."—P.S " Reports are
this moment spread that the ordinary mails have just
brought intelligence that several towns in the provinces
of the Algarves and Tras•os-Montes have declared in fa-
vour of Don Pedro, and hoisted the colours of the young
Queen. Amongst others, Beira, a town on the borders of
Spain, is named. This would be an event of extreme
importance. There are insurrections at Vizeu, Almeida,
and Coimbra ; consequently the success of Don Pedro is
Insured."

A private letter of the 12th inst. from Turin states, on
the authority of persons of rank attached to the Court of
the King of Sardinia, that at the urgent solicitation of the
French Ambassador, the Committee of Legitimatists at
Nice, with which many Carlists of the South of France
Were connected, has just been dissolved by a Royal Order.
Tile foreigners known as the principal agents of this
Camarilla will be ordered to quit Nice.
The Stuttgard Universal Gazette of the 18th instant
has the following, dated Frontiers of Lithuania, July 10 :
--"'" A general amnesty is much spoken of, to be appli-
cable to the Lithuanians, with the exception of about 60
P"mciis• Prince Dolgorowki is at the head of the Go-
vernment in Lithuania, and to him application must be
Made to participate in that favour. The petitioners are re-
quired to justify and humiliate themselves. In case of
serious suspicious circumstances, they may be sent to
Siberia. About 40,000 families have been removed from
Lithuania, and their property confiscated."
Extract of a private letter of the 17th instant from
Stuttgard :--" Since the return of the King of Wurtem-
b. erg from Leghorn, the agents of Austria and Prussia
have besieged him with pressing remonstrances, respecting
his declaration relative to the Frankfort protocols, but the
trench Envoy has done nothing to counteract them.
Hence it results that the King now repents of the step he
ventured to take, and in his semi-official journal retracts
his former resolution. Several correspondents of foreign
journals,' says that paper, and more particularly the
Augsburg Gazette, consider the manner in which the
decrees of the Diet of June 28 have been published, as a
protest or reserve on the part of the Wurtemberg Govern-
ment against the said decrees: but whoever reads without
prejudice the declaration published on the 28th of July,
cannot consider it as a protest, and we believe that such a
sense is not put upon it in this country. In our opinion,
which will be shared by all men of sense and judgment,
the Government of Wurtemberg thereby merely declares
that the decrees of the Diet do not menace the constitu-
tion of the country, and that, consequently, these decrees
will not be applied so as to cause an infraction upon the
charter. The declaration was, no doubt, chiefly intended
to put an end to misunderstandings and false reports,
which a well.known faction had sought on this occasion
to propagate with that malevolent eagerness which charac-
terizes it; and we believe that the declaration has partly
attained the object which was kept in view."
The Munich papers of the 15th instant state, that the
King of Bavaria is expected in his capital on the 24th,
at which time the deputation from Greece will likewi,s,
arrive.

M. de Gerstlacher, Charge d'Affaires of Baden, has
transmitted to the French Government a letter, by which
the Grand Duke of Baden notifies to the King the death
of the Margravine Dowager Amelia Frederica, originally
a Princess of Hesse Darmstadt. The Court will go into
mourning for four days on the present occasion.
