LATE FROM EUROPE.

NEW YORK, Sept 29.-By the arrival Of
tire ship Nlarmion, we have our regular files
OF Paris papers to july so, inclusive.
The foreign accounts, as TO the Spanish at
Ia,rs particularly, are assuming darker cast.
The surrender of Corunna, in itself is no
great event hut the manner of it is alarming.
The garrison replaced themselves under
the command of the traitor Morillo, and he,
as matter of course, opens the gates tn his
friends the French. The fact that the con-
duct of the Morillos, the Abisbals, and Ballas
teros Is not looked on with horror, is what
strikes as with dsmay. There must be- a
want of moral perception, or most Singular
deusion among the Spaniards on such sub

leme to Cadiz, the dissolution of the Cortes,
at a time, when, ifever, they ought To be in
permanent session, the epistolary intercourse
which appears to be allowed between the
French Duke and King Ferdinand, all lead tvs
to apprehend that the liberties of the Spanish
nation are about to be betrayed. OF Nina

reasoning which induced the surrender of CO.
