LATE FROM FRANCE.
NEW YORK. AUG. 9

last evening, In 81 days from Havrc.
BY this arrival, the editors OF tho
Advertiser have received
regular files OF Paris and Havre pa
pcrs to the 18th OF July inclusive; and
we have again devoted our columns
almost exclusively TO translations
therclrom. Clouds and darkness yet
hang over the affairs of Spain. The
journal du Commerce we'll remarks.
e'The history OF the civilized world
scarce presents such IN example of
confusion ana shocking anarchy
The wars Of principles alone produ-
ced such results. Spain is precisely
IN the sane situation as France found
herself during the days of the League.
We restore row to Spain what she
gave TO u.s."
The detection of MorilI9. from the
Constitutional Cause, IS amply COnfir-
med. and that instead of remaining
neutral between the two powers, (thc
Cortes and Rcgency,) il is now added
that he has gone over to the French
with 5000 of his troops. We were,
therefore. correct in our superstition
of yesterday. that the conduct of this
officer was not known at CadiZ, at
the date Of our --latest Cadiz papers,
We have given, among other trAnsIa-
lions, the lie ter of AiorilIo to Quiro-
ga at length. 1t is said that, on the
Sd. he published new and very cncr-
gctiC proclamation agAimstthc Cortcs,
and another against the conduct of
Ouiroga. Quiroga has promised re-
wards TO ali the soldiers who should
follow him. and has published de
cree containing twelve articles a.
gainst those who have abandoned the
Constitutional cause, which strikes
terror into those under Nina, Velas-
co, and TOrl'iios
In Catalonia, the Constituencies
still cvince disposition to oppose the
French inch by inch. 1t will be seen,
by the dies patch from Marshal Mon.
ccy, that, i'm marching to invest Bar
Celpna on the 9th, the Fourth Corps
had a SHARP action at MOiins del Rey
and at Martorel, with the troops of
Milans and Lloberas, who were dis
posed to raise the blockade of BARGE
iona. The Spaniards took shelter
under the walls of Barcelona, which
place WAS to be completely invested on
the following day.
The detection of Morillo produced
a sensible effect on the French funds.
by causing them to rise 1t is stated,
however. that they had subsequently
declined, in consequence Of the rumor
that Bdliasteros and Lopez Banoz
had re-lakcn Seville.
In addition to the despatch which
We have given below from Marshal
Money, our translator has fLrnish-
al us with another long one, Of an an
tccedcnt date, DULY A. but which We
deem it unnecessary TO publish at
length 1t commences by giving a
,PompOus account Of two sortics which
had been made by the garrison shut
up in Figucras. in both Of which they
we're rcpuIsed, with very hiiling
loss on each side. We arc next III
formed officially of the SEQ d'CrgcI
being invested by Baron d'.>rolcs,
from whence, however, Nina had fled,
leaving behind in the fortress the
troops who escaped with him from
the action with Donnadieu on the I4th
and 18th of June, and taking with
him or 500 Of the former garrison.
Nina arrived at Tarragona. sick,
and, on the Goth of June, started a.
gain for Barcelona. Baron d'Eroies
left the SEQ invested by small force
under Gen. Ramagosa. On the 28th
Of June, sortic was made, which
was repulsed hut it was Judged cx-
pedicnt to reinforce the blockade with
another battalion Of the line.
