We have received Paris Papers of Tuesday. They
Contain some details of interest. The late revolution,
or counter-revolution, in Spain, has unquestionably
been effected withiptt any of the odious characters of
similar changes in other parts of the world : not a
drop of blood has been shed, and the, popular feel-
ing, so far as we can judge froM the absence of every
thing like popular commotion, is decidedly in favour
of the new measures adopted by FERDINAND. Lan-
guage cannot do justice to the flattering reception
which our gallant countryman, WELLINGTON, has
received at Madrid. He has been hailed as the
Cid of England ! Why not of Europe ? This feeling
in favour of their deliverer is highly honourable to
the Spanish 'nation. It informs us that the age of
chivalry has 'not yet departed from Spain; and that.
the Cortes have riot carried with them into exile all
the noble qualities of:the Spanish nation.
The Journal des Debits, a Paris paper, which more
than any other, has laboured in the glorious work of
hunting down the Tygir who has taken refuge in
ilba, contains, in a letter to.the Editor, the following

additional anecdotes of the Munster. The Editor
vouches for their authenticity 2
After 'stating that BONAPARTE was most cordially
detested by his mother, his brothers, sisters, a'Aci all
• r4atiyesb th writer proceeds :
_ _

BONAPARTE'S Valet-de•Chambre writes froth the

island of Elba, where he followed him voluntarily,
Is that he considers himself the most unfortunate of
=eh, to haVe continued in the service, of such a
tnonster,' fry the wretch has lost his reason,' and con-
ducts himself like a fool. He has, in short, become
au object of derision to his new subjects, the inhabi-
kants of the Island; and the Officers who accom-
panied him, thinking still to make their fortunes by
suppoiting the contemptible puppet', despairing ()ibis
cure, have returned to France.' Thus he is struck
by the hand of Cop at the very moment when the
powers' f the earth unite to save him !
46 Finally, a Iths,sian General, aho lodged in he
Castle of Flainville, attests the truth of the following
Ahecdott t •

" )30FATAIITZ being at Mostoiv, thought !lima

master of Russia and the whole world. In the deli.

limn of his pride, he caused a Medal .to be struck,
the legend of which was—u Nirozzsw, .rnizervr of
..7At ?sena and Czar of Rusria!"—On the reverse of
Vitt Medal—“ Con in Heaven, and Mfrozroy on

. Zorth !"—This will perhaps seem incredible; but
• the Itussian General has given his word of honour to
'end to the proprietor of the Castle of Plainville a
• kait of this tvhaii, in gold, silver, .4 bronze, as he

tau End one. s'You must admit, Mr. Editor, that a
~ab►ott can possess nothing more curious than this
Medal, which will prove the extravagance of the
I►u-
-3tnan Wild, when blinded by pride and ambition."
The French Chamber of Deputies were occupied
en Moody with a discussion on the eligibility of 'M.
FICItTi of Geneva.. That Gentleman defended him:
• self in a most eloquent speech, by pleading that his
father having been called to the States General in
1789, the right of the Son in 1814 to sit in the
Chamber of Deputies was equally good.—The busi-
ness has been referred to a Committees
PARIS, JUNE 14.
The Director of the Royal Institution for the Deaf
and Dumb (Abbe Sicard) had the honour to be pre-
sented to the Xing yesterday. nis Mjcsty, on
hearing his nartie, addressed hith in the following

flattering terms Ah ! is it you, Abbe Sicard ! I
am glad to see you. lam well acquainted With all
the gond which you have always done, are now
- doing, and which you are still disposed to do. You
fill the place of Abbe L'Epee, Who enjoyed a just
celebrity. I invite you to go on: You merit, like
-him, the public gratitude.*
• .2.. f : • BOURDEAUX, JUNE 9:
The Duke of Wellington is expected every instant
within our walls. The Civil and Military .Authori-
ties have already made arrangements for receiving
him with all the honours due to his noble qualities
' still more than to his rank.

1

The Bourdelais, without doubt, will receive with
the most lively emotions of joy that great Captain,
whom success has not altered, and who Away, knew
that in moderation alone consisted his highest and
best title to glory, and who seems to find in the es-
teem of the French people one of the most fksttering
recompences of his distinguished services.
MADRID* MAY
The regular Clergy have had the honour to be
presented to his Majesty, and were most graciously
received, and were invited to kiss hands.
Our Journal ,dlealaya adds this reflection—"" Let us'
bury in oblivion the misfortunes in which the clergy
of all the religious orders have been plunged, since
they are compensated by the protection of so great a
Monarch, chosen by Divine PROVIDENCE to render
to GOD 411 his glory and happiness to his subjects."
There has been published at Madrid the following
work :—Nalsoleon, or Me true Don' Quixote of Sfrain, a
work, in eight volumes, with two engravings. The
subject is taken from recent- events, such air the unjust

suppres#ion of the Councils of Castile, Monks, and
Grandees of Spain. In this book is gisien an idea of
our ancient Cortes and an easy way to re-establish
them, without borrowing any thing froin the national
assemblies of France. The author proves that the
journey of King Ferdinind to Bayonne was useful
to the nation, which would hive suffered still greater
calamities.

These articles of intelligence from the Court, and
the Booksellers shop, tell us better than any letter
what is passing in our country.
