MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 30, 1823.

Paris papers to the 28th inst. have arrived since our
last. The intelligence they have brought from Spain
comes down to the 22d. Ferdinand, it appears, reached
Cadiz on the 14th. The following are the details of his
journey, as given in the Journal dc Paris:—
• On the 12th, at 7p. To. the King set out from Seville by
Teed, and passed the night at Utreva ; the 13th at Xeres,
gad early on the Idth he arrived at Cadiz. Mr. Ward,
(who lately passed through Paris on bis way to London) had
accompanied bis Majesty; he returned to Seville, whence
be was dispatched to London on the evening of the 13th, by
Sir W. A'Court, the British Ambassador. The latter was,
In fact, making preparations to depart ; but it is believed
that only his lady and family will leave Seville ■nd go to
Gibraltar; and that his Excellency will wait for the orders
of his Government. On the 13th the Cortes embarked at
Seville for Cadiz, on board of steam boats; all the vessels,
• boats, and barks, have been put in reqeisition, to convey
the officers and the suites of the Government. Some of
them that remained behind were plundered. It Is affirmed
that there are at present In Cadiz fifteen thousand troops and
militia."
Kordesoult is said, in an article given by the Quotidi.
tune, to have reached Port St. Mary on the 21st. This
place was occupied by the French during the last war,
but though on the shores of the Bay of Cadiz, afforded
them no material facilities for carrying on the siege. Ac.
cording to the same journal, which is, indeed, of little
authority, Bordesoult had overtaken the rear guard o
the Spaniards. The most curious article, however, in
the French papers, is a proclamation, which we have in-
serted in another part of our paper, of the Royalist
Regency to the Spaniards, upon the forcible abduction of
King Ferdinand. There is in this document a tone of
wailing sod vengeance, which, without the presence of
the French, would excite the fury of their partisans
against the Liberates, if any remain at Madrid, The
Regents seem to repent of their lenity, which they de-
clare was merely assumed, out of tenderness to King
Ferdinand, and in the hope of his being set at liberty.—
That hope being disappointed, there remained no longer
any motive for impunity to the Revolutionists. There
are scarcely any fresh military details worth notice. It
appears that on the 20th the garrison of St. Sebastian
kept up a brisk fire upon the French during three hours'
but did not make a sally.

Since writing the above,we have received Paris papers
of Saturday, but find they contain no news of import-
ance.

Mails from Lisbon have also brought a variety of im•
portant intelligence to the 15th inst., which we have
given in a proceeding column. The King, it will be
seen, returned to Lisbon on the sth inst. where addresses
from various parts of the kingdom began to pour in
upon bim ; some of them going so far as to advocate and
recommend the I unqualified resumption of absolute
power; bat the Monarch, it is asserted, persists in his
d termination of rejecting the ancient order of things,
which was abolished by the Government of the Cortes.
At Oporto the conspiracy was equally successful as at
Lisbon. Under the auspices of the armed force, the
Nobles and higher Clergy, after maturing their plans in
their private meetings, took possession of the municipa-
lity, and, without any further ceremony, proceeded to
draw up an act, of which a translation is subjoined, de-
claring that a public thanksgiving and illumination
Should take place in consequence of the restoration of
absolute power and the overthrow of the Constitution.
The following oath was then administered among those
who attended the Assembly.
•1 I swear to defend, and cause to be defended the
rights of our Absolute King, those of oar Lady the
Queen, and the whole dynasty of the Royal House of
Braganza."
It would seem that the military, clergy, and nobles
are the only classes who take an active part in the coun-
ter-revolution of Portugal, and that the people stand aloof
Evidently the people of Lisbon had no complaint against
the Cortes, for the latter remained sitting six days after
the troops left the capital, without guards, and even
without a government, yet they were not disturbed or in.
suited, and they separated only when they found that the
whole of the regulars had deserted their cause, and were
ready to shed the blood of the citizens.

Bayonne Papers to the 22d instant have also come t o
hand. They contradict in positive terms the reports of am
insurrection having taken place at Seville to prevent the de.
parture of the King; adding that it was well known that he
arrived safe at Cadiz, where he was received with general
acclamations of joy. The most formidable preparations
had been made for the defence of that city.
