EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

We have received to-day by Express a letter from
oar Private Correspondent at Paris, with the Moni-
fel?, Ornstitutionnel, and 1 'Etoik of Thursday. Nei-
ther the Illoniteur nor Constitutionnel contain any
thing that is new from the seat of war, and the ex-
tracts which we give from the Etoile, will be found
of a very exaggerated character. The statements in
our Correspondent's letter are derived from a source
which entitles them to every credit :

~ PARIS, MAY is.

"Letters from Bayonne, dated the 10th, received to-
day, announce the arrival of the Portuguese and
Spanish united forces in the environs of Valladolid.
The French troops, who had advanced as far as Val-
ladolid, have fallen back. It is said that the Portu-
guese army is from 13 to 14,000 strong.
"The Duke of Augouleme has passed the Briviesca.

"The Andalusias, Galicia, Nivarre, and Upper Ar-
ragon, have taken the same warlike attitude as in
the last war.

" Numerous guerilla parties harass the French on
every side; and between Irun and Vittoria, in parti-
cular, they are very strong. It is said, that one gue-
rilla band had formed the bold design of destroying
the bridge which the French have thrown over the
Ilidassoa, but that finding it guarded by a superior
force, they retired.

" Some strong guerillas so incommode the besiegers
of St. Sebastian that they were obliged to send a
fart of their force in pursuit of them. The besieged
profited by their absence to make a sortie, which
caused the French great loss.
" B illageros %till hangs on the march of Molitor's
division.—He avoids carefully measuring strength

with his opponent, but embarrasses all his movements.
—There are letters in Paris whiCh announce positively
that Mina has entered the French territory. All is
amazement here at the intelligence. He is said to be
accompanied by the band of refugees which Colonel
Fabvier has been organizing. It is not on this side
of the Pyrennees that troops will easily be collected
to oppose him ; and it mist rest with Moncey to de-
tach a force in pursuit of the lion which has escaped
om his toils. Fabvier is said to be in secret com-
munication with numerous malcontents in the south
of France, who only wait his appearance to join him
in hoisting the tricolor standard.

" In consequence of these tidings the funds continue
declining, .in spite of every device M. Villele can pat
in play to bolster them up. The rentes left off yes-
terday at 87f. 75c. to-day they are down to 87f. 20c.
and were at one time as low as 87f. &."

FROM THE ETOILE OF TlnnisDAY.
ARMY OF SPAIN.

MCA D•QUA TITERS, %ZOOS, MAY to.
His Royal Highness the Duke d'Angouleme en-
tered Buros yesterday at one o'clock. It would be
impossible to describe the enthusiasm and joy of the
people, who had prepared a magnificent procession
to meet the Prince Generalissimo. Twelve men
went first, and afterwards several groups of dancers,
who were followed by heralds at arms, and other
officers, surrounding a person who represented the
King of Spain.

Next followed a sledge, on which an individual,
badly dressed, with pale livid complexion, and. hair
ala Benjamin Constant, was chained. This figure
represented the Constitution, and was delivered up to
the executioner. A sort of mock combat between the
Royal and Constitutional troops followed, in which
the latter were entirely defeated, to the great satis-
faction of the people, who incessantly cried out—
.• Vive le Roi!"—" Death to the Constitution !"
" Success to the French !"

A very beautiful triumphant car, drawn by forty
young men, all clothed in white, and decked with
flowers, was offered to his Royal Highness, but he
refused, and entered the town on horseback. In the
evening the city was illuminated, and there were
dances and fire-works. The bust of Ferdinand was
carried in triumph, surrounded by flambeaux, amidst
general acclamations, and a magnificent bull-fight
was in preparation.

Yesterday morning the Junta received a courier
from Madrid, in twenty-four hours. He states that
there were few troops in the capital, where the
French were eagerly expected ; that Count d'Abisbal
was in the neighbourhood of Madrid, but with few
forces, and that the people hoped the King would
soon return to his capital.

There has been much defection among the Consti-
tutional troops. One hundred and fifty men, well
armed and equipped, arrived here yesterday, in order
to tender their submission to the Junta.

The Prince Generalissimo, on leaving here, will
sleep on the 13th at Lerma, on the 14th at Gumiel,
on the 15th and 16th at Aranda, on the 17th and
18th at Fresaille, on the 19th at Comopiera, the 20th
at Buetrago, the 21st at Cabanillos, the 22d at St.
Augustin, the 23d at Allohendas, and on the 24th he
will arrive at Madrid, and celebrate the Feast of St.
Ferdinand.
