FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, APRIL 6.—The Cones very readily granted
the King two millions to defray the expense of his
journey. His• Majesty was allowed only half the
number of persons whom he required for his service.
The Cones also voted two millions for the expense of
their own journey, with the exception of the 8000
reals granted to each Deputy. It is said, that if the
King goes as far as Seville; he will stop there only a
.ferr days • and that the Cones will cause him to pro-
ceed to Cadiz, from whence they would embark for
the Canary Islands, if necessary.
General Morino is immediately to take the com-
mand of the second district. A Royalist Troop be-
longing to one of the divisions of Bessieres, has pene-
trated as far •as the Prado. Its object was only to
-get provisions, or to observe the forces which form
the garrison of Madrid. The Commandant of the
place could only send one company of Carabineers!
against this troop, but it had already disappeared.
The progress of the insurrection in the kingdom of
Valencia is confirmed. The Royalist chief Ulman
has surprised a division of General Tones ; and the
Royalists entered 'fennel ; it appears that this Chief
meditates some movement upon Valencia.

A Gentleman, who was enabled to pass two days
at Bayonne reconnoitring, maintains, contrary to the
information before received, that the French army
will not be ready to march in less than a month. It
is only a small picquet at most which can enter Spain
immediately, for want of artillery and a Commis-
sariat. With respect to the Spaniards, they only
wish the French to penetrate as far as Cadiz; they
will take care, they say, that they never get out of
the country. The arrangement respecting the French
troops has been so bad, that it was pot unusual for a
large body of them, on entering a town destined for
their quarters, to find that another corps had also
been assigned the same quarters, so that it had re-
ceived twice the number of men expected. There
was no understanding between the Commissariat and
Staff. The soldiers themselves were all young men,
but the Officers were mostly not young, and they had
contrived to communicate their spirit to the men.—
At Bayonne about the beginning of this monthibread
had advanced from 18 to 26 sous, and every other
necessary of life was enhanced in value in propor-
tion.—Morning Chronicle.
