EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

This forenoon we received the Path Parers of

Nonday, by Express. The Moniteur of Sunday has
a:io reached us, by which we learn that the Telegra-
phic Dispatch purporting to be from that Journal,
which we quoted from a Morning Paper of yesterday,
4:;:s not mention a single word respecting the Consti-
tution having been abolished at Lisbon cn the Ist
inst. This dispatch we subjoin, together with
another in the Moniteur of Monday, and two re-
ports of General GUILLEMINOT and Count ROT•
TEMBOURG, all of which appear in the official part
of the Moniteurs of Sunday and Monday. The
Joianal des Debats contradicts the •statement in
Cons:itutionae/, of assassinations having com-
menced in Madrid; and asserts that not a single per-
son has suffered in that eripital since the affair of
Br.ssuarts, which was twenty-four hours before the
first entry of the French. " Madrid," says the Jour-
nalist," enjoys perfect tranquillity, and it is not pos-
sible to suppose that this tranquillity can for a mo-
men: be ..isturbea, since it is guaranteed by the pre-
sence of the Eerie!) troops, and by that spirit of wis-
dom, humanity, and moderation which guide the
conjuct of the Prince Generalissimo. The following
are evracts

" MONSEIGNEUR—The result of the different ad-
vices I have received on the march of Mina are, that
he has totally evacuated Cerdagne, retiring by the
Valley of I'►ibas with 2000 men, 80 cavalry, and
twenty mules laden with ammunition and money. His
Pan9euvre seems to be to evade.fighting, and to find

approach Figueras while our troops are seeking him
