One of the Journals states that Letters have been re-
ceived at Paris from Seville, dated the 22d of May,
at which period the g, reatest tranquillity prevailed in
that city, and the Cotes peaceably- continued their
labniirs.

For several days, says the &ode, the Liberal Jour.
nals have repeated that the King of Spain has quitted
Seville to proceed. to Cadiz. The last accounts from
Seville are of thet6th, and there was then no talk of
the departure of the King fur Cadiz. his billieifed
that if he wets to quit Seville it would rather
go to Badajos.

—An individual was arrested to-day in our Commune,
.
who arriied in company with one Ulrich Barrot, From
Strasburg, and who gave himself out as a Prussian
Officer.. Besides several suspicious papers, brevets of
Secret Societies, and a diploma of Carbonarism, there
were found upon him several ill-printed Proclama7
tions 6f the Council 'af Regency of Napoleon TI. ad-
dressed to the britve Alsaclans, and a tri-colbtired
cockade. Barrot set out yesterday for Colmar. The
pretended :Prussian Officer will be delivered to the
Bailiwick of Brisack. The following is a translation
of this ludicrous Proclamation :

quit his ground, and he was puttied fdr above a
league, losing a few men: the infantry, about SOO,
with brie piece of artillery, had followed, and as the
crowds on the road much impeded them, they fired
on them, and the cavalry returning from tlyi pursuit,
either mistaking them for factious, or to glut their
vengeance for sliewin7 proofs of royalism, galloped
over them, cutting about in all directions—about
500 men, women, and children have been killed and
wounded, and about a thousand were brought in as
prisoners. A courier was dispatched to the French,
and the next day several officers cattle in to make ar-
rangements for quarters, rations, etc. and it was
agreed that they should enter one day sooner. The
22d all was quiet. On the 23J, at five in the morn•
ing, a division of about 4000 French arriseJ, Zayas
and his troops having previously retired. As soon as
it was known the people assembled, relieved from the
-fear they had been in, and immediately began to pull
down the Lapida of the Constitution, in the great
square, replacing it with the king's picture. This
might be about six o'cleck : the Lapida was broke
into a hundred thoissand pieces. From this they went
to the Cortes, broke the doors open, broke the chan-
deliers, the chairs, benches, figures, and statues—
otbers on the outside were busy isdefacing the sta-
tues in the niches and windows. -

" From the library they took all the records, acts,
and diaries of the Corte., tore them up, and then threw
them into a large bonfire made for the purpo,e. By
ten o'clbck all the balconies in the obscure as %ell as
principal +streets were hung with tapestry and silks ;
the King's picture was placed in all the public build-
ings; the crowds increased in all directions; the
houses of many of the citizens who had been violent
Constitutionalists, mere especially in the distant and
out quarters, were attacked, entered, and their furni-

tare and property brought out and destroyed. At
twelve at noon the book of the ConAitution and
giego's picture were burnt iu the Plaza Mayor by the
common hangman. More ti °ries at riving. all the
posts were covered, sentries placed i,i every oirection,
and a stop put to further excesses. foe old Autho-
rities were displaced, and new ones appoilited. Pro-
clamations were issued. Two in particul.ar < f im-
portance: the one by which no persons eho have
served the late Government, or have been militiamen,
should be eligible to employments ; the other, that
the acts of the late pretended Cortes- would not be re-
cognized, and that things will be placed on. the ft
ing as before, As if that had never exi•ted. These were
signed by tne Provisional Junta, Lilo, Egnia, and
Calderon.
"In the evening there was tt very• general and
brilliant illumination. The expression of joy was
such all had never before witnessed in Madrid—the
arrival of equipages, artillery, ammunition, cavalry,
and infantry, during the day was incessant—the viva:

Court is,• indeed,. at all times, felt at Maiiiid; but
independent of this it was more vacant thaw ever.
The reason is, that as excesses in revenge were in-
dicted, every bhdy that could have lett for a few
toys for the iteig,hbouring villages, and others re-
nrainedibut up.
