FRENCH PAPERS.

MADRID, JULY IL

The calm and generous attitude which the inhabi-
tants of this capital have preserved since the brilliant
victory which they obtained over the Old Guards,
cannot fail to confound the enemies of the Constitu-
tion. Posterity will scarcely believe that so much mo-
deration could be allied with so much courage. But
to maintain their moderation, the inhabitants of Ma-
drid are far from neglecting measures of vigilance.—
The volunteer militia and the troops of.the garrison
continue under arms, and in the same positions which
they occupied on the morning of the 7th. They thus
wait till all things be restored to their former situa-
tion. This brave militia now shares with the troops
of the line the honours and fatigues of guarding the
Palace of the King, who unceasingly testifies towards
them his satisfaction. It is said that his Majesty in-
tends immediately to pass in review the volunteer mi-
litia. According to an enumeration made this morn-
ing of the prisoners of the ex-guard who have re•
turned to the city, they amount to 890. The number
of wounded carried to the Hospital is considerable.
It appears that the list of dead is likewise still more
so. It is said that this rebel guard has been deci-
mated in the conflicts which took place within and
without the city. The new guard will be organized
in a spirit entirely patriotic and national, according to
the last regulation decreed by the Cortes.
The Municipality of Madrid presented the King on
the 9th, a very energetic Address, which produced a
great impression. The following is a copy of this
curious document.
" Stan—Fully convinced that the late events of which this
heroic city has been the theatre, shall have removed from the
royal mind of your Majesty the melancholy illusions which
perfidious men had employed to blind it, the constitutional Mu-
nicipality of the capital of Spain is eager to carry to the foot of
the Throne the most sincere expression of its sentiments, and its
wishes for the preservation of the State, and of its constitutional
Monarch. The Municipality thinks it cannot render to their
King a more precious service than to represent to him in time
the necessity of adopting prompt and energetic measures, which
may save the country, by causing to cease, in a certain and ra-
dical manner, the tmlamities which afflict it.

" We are still in time, Sire, but perhaps the oppottunity may
never again occur to remedy the evil. The means are simple,
and- once adopted, the social edifice will be constructed on solid
foundations, which neither the present generatios,nor that which
is to come, will see shaken. The first of those mean* is, that your
Majesty, being at last convinced that the true friends of your life
and of your gluey are the dehnders of the fundamental law
which guarantees both, should pat yourself in good faith at the
heed of the patriotic cause, and give public and private proofs of
I your being identified with it.

" To give the first proof that your Majesty has sincerely em-
braced that cause, nothing is se necessary as to nominate for MLI
nlsteft, in lieu of those who have resigned, men of known ability,
notoriously devoted to the system, gifted with an energy and ac-
dvity sufficient to re-animate our social constkution,wlikk is kn.
tubbing and enfeebled by the bad faith Osumi and the indokuce
and iussiddidness of others. Your Court, Sire, or rather do.
made establishment, Is composed (such is the public conviction)
et permanent conspirators against liberty.
" The retention of any one mous them would deprive your
Majesty of the confidence of your faithful Spaniards; and never
was k more necessary than at preseut, fur the safety of the State
and of your Majesty, that your Majesty should recover that
confidence.
