FRENCH PAPERS OF SUADAY.

The French Morning and Evening Papers of Sunday
have been received. The former are principally filled
with discussi ass on the approaching Elections, and ar-
tides of a literary or local nature. The Journal des
Debuts thus notices the mighty preparations in Cadiz]
far reconqaering the New NVoild, about which one of
our conv!mporaties has felt so much alarmed. " The
English Journals." says the French Editor, " still per-
sist an beholding considerahle armaments in every di-
rection. They again speak of the great preparations
making in the port of Cadiz, which is to sail for the
purpose of reconqueling the Spanish Colonies. Now this
is the real tact : there are no ships of war in the port of
Cadiz, except the old vessel called the Asia, and a brig
from Carthagena, which are waiting for a change of
equipment, in order to proceed to the Havannah:
The following are extracts from thel•toile of Sunday
evening :

MADRID, JANUARY 16.
The King our Sovereign has issued the following De-
cree:—" By my Decree of the 14th of December last,
I thought fit to grant a❑ honorary medallion to all those
of my sabjects who, listening only to the voice of the
purest loyalty, have braved all dangers to defend the
rights of my sovereignty, religion, and the State. I had
authorize.i the Captains-General to give the necessary
licenses to pet sons whoa: they should judge worthy of
this distinctioo ; but having learned that the distribution
was not maJe according to the end I proposed, I do
decree that the right of conferring the said distinction is
henceforth reserved to myself alone."
"JANUARY 14.—Th.! Minister of War issued, on the
13th instant, an 0: dontiance of 19 At tides, of which
the following is ti_•e rreamble :
" The King is informed, that in several parts of his
kingdom, men still chew themselves, who, obstinate in
their bad principles, and accustomed to live in discord,
seek to disturb. They bleak out into invectives against
the sacred tights of the Throne, and praises of the
abolished Constitution: they spread alarming reports,
and carry their audacity so far as to infest the public
toads with arms in their hands. In consequence his
Majesty, persuaded that the most effectual way to pre-
vent crimes is promptly to punish those who have al-
ready been guilty of them, orders as follows:
" Art. 1. In all the capitals of provinces, including
the Balearic Islands, there shall be formed within fifteen
days, executive and permanent commissions, composed
of a President, who is a Brigadier-General in the King's
armies; of six members, from the rank of Colonel to
that of Serjeant-Major ; of an Assessor, four Fiscals,
and as many clerks.
" The 10th article orders, that the penalties to be in-
flicted on the condemned shall be determined according
to the Royal Decree of May 4, 1814."

VALENCIA, JANUARY to.

The KING has issued a decree on the regulation of the
military. it is a long document, containing several
chapters, subdivided into various articles. There is
also a project for forming a new establishment, to have
the administration of the War Department under the
Minister of Finance.

The Madrid article anxious to refute the variousi
rumours that have been circulated of the distracted state
of the country, which, it is stated, have been spread by
the enemies of the Throne. The report of the late Con-
stitutional Alcades bcen condemned to the gal-
lies for ten years, and that the Militia is threatened with
