PARIS, JULY 19.

A letter from Madrid to a commercial house at
Paris, relates two circumstances which may serve to
explain the facility with which the Guards penetrated
to the centre of that capital. The first is, that they
believed themselves to be marching for the purpose
of retiring some upon Talavera, and others upon To-
ledo, in consequence of an order to which, after, at first
refusing, they had feigned to consent. The second
is, that by means of an understanding now generally
'known, they had a knowledge of the countersign.—
They had been seduced by some perfidious Chiefs,
who did nut scruple to borrow the name of the King.
This was confessed by several wounded prisoners,
who cursed the authors of their ruin.—Constitutioneel.
Extract of a letter published by the Association at
stutgard, dated Missolonghi, June :—" The day

before yesterday we received, by express, intelligence
of the capture of Badradsick (Neepatra) in Thessaly,
-by our brave brethren is arms. We expect here to-'
morrow three Turkish Beys, prisoners, and also SOO
krahis.—Hassan Pacha, wlio commanded the corps
of which they formed part, lost 5,000 men in the
combat which took place near the sources of the
Hellada, and he retreated in the greatest disorder
upon Larissa, the capital of the Province."
It is stated that the Duke de Blacas having re-
signed his embassy at Rome, the Prince de Laval,
late Ambassador at Madrid, has been appointed to
slcceed him.

the loss of die Royal Guards was considerable, but'
the exact iumker killed•was bet. known ;-"that of
prisoners was,. on. the oth, upwards of. 700. The
Militia had nine killed and twentSr-one wounded ; the
regiments of Almanna and Principe lost more. Some
say that the Duke del Infintado has fled; others that
he is in prison ; he is accused of being the author of
•
cconspiracy to carry off the King to Valladolid, in
Old Castile, and to establish there a new Government.
All this, however, is only rumour. The convocation
of the Extraordinary Cortes was to have been advised
to the King by the Permanent Deputation.--Jouroal
des Debate.

MADRID, JULY 10.
This capital is still without a Government The
Ministers who have resigned obstinately refuse to
resume their porte feuilles. The Journals are filled
with pOmpous bulletins on the triumph of the Con-
stitutional sy►tem, strengthened more than ever, they
say, by the attempts made to overthrow it. In the
meantime the prisons are filling. In the Bureaux of
the Municipality, denunciations against the Serviles
are encouraged by a salary.—Cluotidierine.
Extract of a private leiter from Madrid, of July 8:
is The resulti of the last Congress of Laybaeh, the occupatiea
of the peninsula of-Naples and of the kingdom of Piedmont, the
proscription of all the Men who gave the signal in the Isle of
Leen, have sufficiently apprized the Spaniards, that if their-ital.
tators were exposed to unexampled severity, they must expect
is terrible vengeance.
" But the counter-revolutionists of Europe will be strangely
deceived, if they believe that even the most moderate men will
ever consent to join a faction execrated by every true Spaniard.
Every time' goy effort is made by the foreigners, there win be
seen, on the contrary, united against it all who deceit a shame-
ful despotism and an ignoble servitude. After Spain has re-
sisted,lmith glory and success, the greatest Captain of the age,
the European oligarchy must be made to Imagine that it cannot
impose chains on her 'lke an effeminate people, destitute et all
energy. The Pyrenees are net the Abruzzes. The enemies
of our liberty may be assured, that our chief Citizens and isur
chief Captains will not offer their heads respectfully to the sword
of their vengeance, and that they will not suffer themselves to
be dragged across Europe to the fortresses of Austria or the de-
serts of Siberia. Spaniards will await death on the field of battle,
and no longer receive it en the scaffold.
" Such is, we well knew, the fate reserved for us; do they
think we have forgot the past, or that we have net heard the lan-
guage of our enemies? There is not a journal devoted to the
counter-revolution, which does not every day demand our heads.
They insult us at a distance, we shall see if they will venture en
a near attack.

" The French Cordon Sanitaire gives our counter-revolu-
tionists an incredible audacity ; in vain the diplomatic agents of
that country say it is only to prevent the spread of the contagion
of yellow fever; our counter-revolutionists answer, that that is
merely a mode of lulling our watchfulness.
" For six weeks there has been a report generally circulating
here, that there existed a conspiracy to carry off the King, and
convey him by force to Bayonne, others said that he was to ab-
dicate upon the formal condition of retiring into France, Others
again said, that the King was disposed to go to Bourdeaux, and
that he would there issue a Proclamation protesting against the
Constitution, to which his oath had been obtained by force and
violence. These rumours circulated everywhere at the time of 1
the separation of the Cortes, that period seemed to be chosen for
the execution of a vast plan of conspiracy against the liberties of
Spain. It was the same day that Quesada entered Navarre, that
the Cabinet,s revolted, and that the Royal Guards were in open
insurrection."

It is remarkable, that at the moment when beaten
power was here endeavouring to reestablish itself, it
was reported also that a great movement had taken
place in France, and that almost all the influential
Members of the Opposition had been arrested. The
foreigners will be at length convinced that it is not
easy to put us in chsins. Does the Holy Alliance
wish to attack the People who fought alone against
the Colossus to whose ascendancy they then yielded,
and which People, more than they, contributed to its
tall? We are happily, however, tranquil after the
.riumph ; the character of the Spaniard is too grave
and reflecting to give way to that spirit of re-action
.shich was so fatal to France.—Censtitutionnel.

This forenoon we received a Dutch Mail, bringing
Papers to the 20th instant. A long and rather ani-
mated discussion took place in the States-General, on
the 18th and 19th inst. on the Project of Law relative
to the mode of levying the tax upon meal, which
ended in its being rejected by a majority of two.—
