FRENCH PAPERS OF SATURDAY.

PARIS, Auc. 2.

By a decree of the Cortes, the Connt de Carthagena has
been declared a traitor to his country, and deprived of his
rack, titles, and dignities.

• [The Pilote gives a list of 125 vessels which entered Ca-
rliz in the six first days of July.]
A letter iO'..the Moniteur from Valencia, of the 21st of
.loly. says, ""ltdivision of the French army passed through
this city to-day. Yesterday, sixty tumbril:, of ammunition
arrived here. The superior Junta is dissolved, and has
been replaced by the authorities named by the Regency.
The greatest tranquillity prevails here. A French division
which has passed the night at Murriedro, is expected to-
morrow. A Royalist corps has forced the town and castle
of Morella to surrender by capitulation."
A telegraphic despatch from Brest has announced that
the frigate Cyble, which takes M. Hyde de Neuville out of
Lisbon, as Ambassador. sailed on the 31st of July, a.id
that on the same day the frigate Nereitle, corvette .Egeria,
the brig Cnrieux, and the lighter Bretonne, sailed to join
the ships whit h are blockading Corunna and Cadiz.
A journal (The Orillaninic,) published yesterday the fol
lowing erws
** The report is screwed, and with an appearance of
reality, that within a short time the Great Powers will pull-
adeclaration, in which they will fix a term for the
Cortes to restore liberty to the King: beyond this term
the members who compose it will he regarded as guilty of
high treason, an I treated as such."
We can confi tently assert that this ahanril report, pre
stinted as having an appearance of reality, has no sort of
4Yoondation.—(Journol des Debuts )
' The Journal des Debuts announced yesterday that, ac-
cording to letters froin Madrid of the 26tli July, founded on
advice. from Cadiz, of which it gives to slate. Romanillos,
Tigodet, and three Deputies of the Cortes, constitute a
l'ommittee to modify the Constitution, and that they pro-
pn,c to adopt for a model the Constitution of England.—
know not if this news is thrown out at random by the
`Journal des Debate, which collects pele-mete the most ri•
eictilons reports. and which is likely soon to be entitled to
ro more credit than l'Etoile; but we have heard people,
ho attach importance to every thing inserted in that jour.
nal, pretend that this news would not have appeared with-
out weighty reasons and that, notwithstanding the war
like article in tie 'Midterm, it has for its object to prepare
the public mind for an accommodation, reports of w hick
have been for sonic days circulated about the Exchange and
Treasory.—(Constitutionnel.)
The Ftoile of this evening give a finishing rinse to the
poor Courier of London, whom it reproaches for its article
as almost amountir gto treason. It pret.inds that the chief
editor (redacteur en chef) is absent, and that Isis labour
" is entrusted to a clerk, who has an extremely weak head."
It is true, that the principal editor of the Courier comes
frequently to Paris: upon his return to London he will be
doubtless more reasonablc.—(lbid)
The Menioriale Bordelais announces, that it has been
posted on the Exchange, that the vessel la Clementine, of
Havre, which had left Brest to join the convoy destined lir
Martinique, was captured by a Spanish privateer, 4 hours
after her sailing from Brest.
