Hello KarenMI,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you are looking for a way to restore only the notes from a backup.
Do you know if these notes have been permanently deleted? iCloud saves recently deleted notes for up to 30 days, so you may be able to recover them. If you have access to a computer, go to iCloud try these steps found in Delete and recover notes on iCloud.com - Apple Support
Recover recently deleted notes
You can recover and edit notes you deleted in the last 30 days on iCloud.com or on your devices that are signed in with the same Apple ID. However, you can’t recover notes you permanently removed.
1. In Notes on iCloud.com, select Recently Deleted in the folder list on the left.
2. If you don’t see Recently Deleted, you don’t have any notes in that folder, and there’s nothing to be recovered.
3. Select a note, then click Recover in the Notes toolbar.
4. The note moves to the Notes folder.
5. If you want to move a recovered note directly to a folder you created, drag the note from the Recently Deleted folder to another folder.
Note: If you delete a shared note that you don’t own, the note doesn’t move to your Recently Deleted folder. See Delete shared notes on iCloud.com.
If you still need help, reach back out and let us know what kind of device you're trying to get the notes back on to.
Take care!
