The Paris Papers, from Saturday to Tuesday in-
clusive, arrived this forenoon. The first point to
which our attention has been, of course anxiously,
directed, is the extent of the information they con-
tain respecting the state of affairs in Spain; and
subjoined, we lay before our Readers extracts from
the different Journals, of all that is new or interest-
ing on the subject. The accounts in these Papers
came down only to the night of the 13th instant,
the general facts established beyond a doubt are,
that the insurrection, which had subsisted since the
1-4 of January, continued still unsubdued ; that the
Insurgents were in undisputed possession of the Isle
of Leon; that the City of Cadiz was surrounded by
them, and an communication between it and the
interrupted; that their numbers, as may natu-
rally be supposed, from the time the revolt had
lasted, without any attempt to check it, were on the
i:-.cinse; and that the restoration of the Constitution
established by the Cortes was the single and undis-
,-1,:•,c,i object of the rebellion.

" Extract from a Letter from Madrid, dated Jan.
13:— The movement which has manifested itself
among a part of the Troops of the American Expe-
dition, does not inspire any inquietude for the tran-
Tail7tty of Spain. Thanks to the zeal and to the
fi:mness of the Authorities of Cadiz and of Seville,
the garrisons and the inhabitants of these two towns
II:INT net taken any part in the revolt, and have, on
;L.?. contrary, nobly evinced their attachment and
their fidelity to the King. The spirit of the country
at large it equally. satisfying.

The Rebels have vainly endeavoured to possess
themselves of Cadiz, and they have been obliged to
Allan:inn this enterprizc. They still occupy the Isle
Lcc•n, but there have been already many deserters
►torn their bc,iy, and the spirit of dissension appears
e.ign among them. The Brigadier Quiroga, whom
they had recently named Commander in Chief, has
been dcpnsed and cast into prison.

t St. Margie is in the possession of the Royal.
trcops. Gcncral Fie re has put itimself at the head
of the army. lie has quitted Seville with a corps of
Cavalry, and moved upon Xeres, where about three
squadrons have joined him."-211o1iteur.

We are still in the same incertitude as to the
state of matters in Spain. Scme Journals have an-
nounced to-day, that General Calderon, who was
arrested by the insurgent regiments, has been mas-
,:crcd. The Indercndcnt says, he has been shot;
The Ariitarque, that he has been killed by a sabre
stroke from the Officer appointed to arrest him. It
appears certain, that the rebels are commanded by
the Brigadier of Artillery, Moscollo, and that they
have been repulsed from Trocadero."--Journal des
Dclats 9f Sunday.

" The last accounts received from Madrid are of
the 13th, and have arrived by the ordinary Cciurier,
whose correspondence was not stopped at Irun as
has been asserted. It is false that the rebels have
seized upon Cadiz; it is false that they have marched
upon Madrid. The city of Cadiz, inhabited chiefly
by intelligent Merchants,,who have much to lose, on
the supposition that it was desirous*:of a Consti-
tutional Government, is far from applauding the
means by which some persons would wish to esta-
blish it. It knows, and too much experience has un-
happily proved, that the path of revolt leads only
to anarchy. Well persuaded of these truths, ithas
embraced with enthusiasm the cause of its King,
and its Militia, united to the crews of the squadron,
have protected it from the rebels. The latter have
stationed themselves partly in the Isle of Leon and
partly at Ilornos. General Freyre, one of the most
distinguished Officers of the Army, by whom he is
generally esteemed, has keen invested with unlimited
powers to suppress the sedition. Such is the last
news which we have heard as to this event."—Jour-
nal des Detats of Monday. •
" There are no accounts from Spain of a fresher
date than those which we gave yesterday. On com-
paring different private letters which have arrived
from Bayonne, by the last Courier, we do not see
any reason to believe the Insurrection more impor-
tant than we have represented. The following are
the only details upon which there is no doubt.

" Four battalions, and not four regiments, of the
ExpeJitionary Army, viz.—those of Asturias, of
Arragon, of Seville, and of Guides du General, re-
voked, and moved on Pueblo de Cabezas de Sat:
J:An. There they repaired to the Church, and
during the Grand Mass, swore to defend the Consti-
tution. After having deposed the Authorities, they i
appointed in their places those who were in office at I
the time of the Cortes. They theta took the route's
of Cebrixa, where they were joined by two more
battalions, viz. those of Spain and of the Crown ;.
thence the whole moved in a body upon Cadiz,
‘...ith the intention of seizing that place; but the citi•
'et., had time to shot the gates, and the attempt com-
pletely failed. They named for their chief, General
re, who twice refused to take on himself the corn-
:nand, in spite of the reiterated instances of two
,leptitatio-Ls who were sent to him ; they then ap-
pointed, in his place, Colonel Villacinero.

" fortified point, no military position, is in the
power of the Insurgents. The town of San Fer-
!,:uida, in the Isle of Leon, is an open place. Some
apprehensions are entertained respecting the Naval
Averals and Magazin2s, which are at different points
