According to my arrangement, Count Curial has pushed his reconnoissances on Barcelona ; one has been as far as '.%loncada, another at Badalona, and the third on to Fiatia • and Conguria. The effect of their r econnoissances is such, that reports have been spread at Vich that the French troops already occupy 3:.

He says, Mina has taken the di ration through Sets at, of the Sanctuary Niiria, a place very mountainous and difficult of access. Baron cilroles thinks Mina will return again to Figneras.

Abisbal crossed the ltidassoa two days ago ; he stopped at Urrugue, where he remains this day. The fothwing arc the pas ticulars of his arrest on the toad: Comte de l'Abisbal left Madrid with the courier of the army. On his arrival at Vittoria he was recog— ;OW by a woman in I:i3 hotel, who imino:liately gave information to the Chief of the Pror•ince. An extraordinary courier was instantly scot to the various Authorities, for the purpose of arresting Abisbal as a fugitive. The express reached Vergara, when the coarser was changing horses; and whilst the Autho. fries of the place were receiving the orders of the Chief of the Province, and was preparing an armed force, Abisbal was off; but as it is very difficult to ascend the mountain of Descarga, the revolutionary General was forced to slacken his steps, and was thus arrested at the moment he reached the summit. The Finch courier made resistance, not with:lg to give tp his companion; but he was wounded, and forced to give him up to the Spaniards. As Abisbal had been carried off by force, and agreeably to orders transmitted, the French courier hastened his journey, for the purpose of informing the Commandant of Villa Real, the nearest post to Vergara, that he was charged with bringing Abisbal into France, and the manner he had been carried off at the top of the mountain. The French Command ant sent immediately a sufficient number of troops to retake Abisbal from those who were carrying him I, and to bring him on to Villa Real. In effect the limb got up with the Spaniards long before they sad reached Vergara, for they marched very slowly, and liberated Abisbal, and brought him with them. Tat RIOT AT MAGIIERA.—Last night, in the House of Commons, the SECRETARY of STATE {Cr the Home Department, in answer to an enquiry from Sir JOHN NEWPORT, stated that the number of persons killed did not exceed four: several others had been, 'wounded, but not many seriously injured. The Belfast Irishman contains an account of the affray at Maghcra, which does not materially differ from.that already published. It states, on the autho rity of a private letter, ." as the opinion of the writer, that, so far as he could ascertain, the fight originated in an affray that had taken place a few days before, at Urea, a town a fcw miles distant from Maghera, and on which occasion some Ribbonmen had been b . eaten, who, with their friends, would naturally fee l irritated and inclined to take satisfaction wheu oppor tunity would offer."

This morning we received intelligence confirming the account of the removal of FERDINAND from Seville to Cadiz. The KING expressed great reluc tance in quitting Seville, nor could he be prevailed on to depart until the coercive measures of the Govern ment rendered his resistance unavailing. The French Papers of Sunday have reached us. The only articles of intelligence they contain will be found in a preceding column. \Pe :re still without any news from Lisbon, except that already derived through the medium of the FrenCh.Papers, and they are now almost silent as to the counter-revolution at Lisbon, which, however, they assert to be complete. EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER. " PARIS, JUNIS 21. It is very true that the generality of the nation are decidedly against the war. But the Ministerial party endeavour to make it palatable, by proclaim ing its advantageous consequences. They say that France will be amply repaid for her expenses by the acquisition of a valuable Spanish Colony; and they go so far as to hold out the certainty of' the renewal of the Family Compact, with additional privileges." Bayonne Papers to the 16th instant reached us this morning. The intelligence they contain, though not of a very decisive character, is interesting, and we give it without comment: BAYONNE, JUNE IS. The desertion in the Army of the Faith before Pampeluna has not been so considerable as it was stated to be at first ; it is confined to the positive re fusal to acknowledge General Espagne and to the desertion of 150 men who have returned to their houses. • The Navarrese begin to be tired of military service, and are deaf to the call of the leaders of the Faith. Colonel Campillo, with 1800' men, entered Santander on the 10th, and Bilboa was threatened by the Constitutional troops, who have occupied Or duna for some days and cut off the communications of the French ; it is believed that the blockade of San tona must be raised for the second time. There has lately been some parleying, between the French and tke Governors of Pampeluna and St. Se lyisti an ; they have not led to any result, and the gar rkons of both places continue to fire at everything that approaches the walls ; the sieges are continued, but v:ilhout vigour. Some Constitutional guerillas have appeared in the three Biscayan Provinces, and in Navarre; but they have not been well received by the inhabitants, who are in general devoted to the cause of the King and the French ; and besides, these armed troops are confounded with other little bands of bandiar, who act for themselves, and plunder everybody that comes in their way. The formation of National Guards has been ordered, but nobody appears to enrol himself; the season is not favourable to the increase of these bands, the peasants being pre paring for the harvest ; but if the war should be pro tracted till the winter, these countries will be infested by them. Carolina, TruxiLo, &c. we must suppose that these hopes are not ill founded. The Andalusians too are less persevering and warlike, though greater boasters than the other• inhabitants of the Peninsula. There are many reports at Madrid of an approach ing arrangement, but even if the Cortes should agree to such a one, it would remain to be seen whether Mina, 11.illasteros, Villacampa, and Morillo, Sub scribed to it, for it must. be confessed that there are 'elements,sufficient to continue the war, and that the French will want in that case an addition of 50,000 men and large sums of money. • The moderate party is becoming more numerous at Madrid and in the provinces, and a general con viction prevails (except among the Communeros) that an honourable arrangement would be preferable to the continuation of a disastrous and interminable war : but they are adverse to recognizing and treat ing with the Regency and its partisans, who are the very same men that have misled the King and brought ruin on the country. Several persons have been arrested at Madrid, or exiled from it. The police is very strict and sum mary: the same system is followed in the towns and provinces governed by the party of the Faith. On the 6th, at Saragossa, nine Ladies, accused of Liberalism, were arrested; among them is the Mar chioness de la Rost. This morning we . receiveJ a file of the Diario do Governo of Rio Janeiro, to the 27th of Mat ch. The only article of interest they contain is the apcsoint ment of Lord COCH RA N E to the post of First Admiral of the National Brazilian Navy. The Papers are principally filled with Addresses from several towns, expressive of their unbounded attachment to ltis Ma jesty the EMPEROR.—The following are extracts: RIO DE JANEIRO, MAUCH 21. Lord Cochrane took possession to-day, at five o'clock in the afternoon, of the post of First Admiral of the National Brazilian• Navy. He hoisted his Ad miral's flag, for the present, on board the Pedro I. The flag was immediately saluted by the whole squa dron with a discharge of twenty-one guns, and the acclamations of the spectators. The squadron is preparing to put to sea vOth all possible expedition, so that it will now remain but a very few days in this port ; but it is not known at present what is its teal destination. The subscription to a fund for improving the Bra zilian navy proceeds rapidly. His Majesty the Em peror has subscribed 250 monthly shares, and or dered the payment-of three years to be made in ad vance, to the amount of 7,200 milreas. The situation of Ireland is almost the only question of internal policy on which parties in PArliament are riot agreed, though all unite in considering it as one of extreme difficulty and delicacy. That crime and misery prevail to a considerable extent in this unhappy country, is too true; but it is not so evident to what cause they are to be attributed, or bow thew are to be removed ; while one part of the population arrays itself against the other, with an inveteracy which is scarcely exceeded by that of the Turks and the G:eeks. The country on the great road to Madrid, by way of Vittoria and Burgos, and the Somo Sierra, is pretty tranquil: the army, it is true, has just passed through it : the left, that is, La Rioja and La Sorio, is less so, and these provinces will not obey the decrees of the Regency, but favour the Constitutionalists, who traverse that part of the country, notwithstanding the influence of the Clergy. On the right, the pro. vinces of Palencia and Valladolid do not offer a satis factory appearance, on account of the guerillas, the movements in Gallicia, and the presence of the Em pecinado at Toro. Though the French have a great party, especially at Valladolid, the inhabitants do not dare to declare openly in their favour. The French still occupy Benevente and Riosca, l and the Constitutionalists, Astorga, the fortifications of which were partly demolished by the inhabitants after the last war, but are now almost wholly re paired. Morillo's attempt to dra s w Bourcke into the defiles of Villafranca has failed. The Empecinado has 2,000 foot and 300 horse; his plan is to attack Valladolid, and his point d'appui is Zamora, whence he communicates with the Portu guese, who occupy Miranda with 6,000 men. %Wilk men are employed in fortifying Ciudad Rodrigo, and a division of 5,000 men is organizing at Zamora. The districts of Segovia and Avila being so near the capital are pretty ti anquil, though alarmed by the Guerillas left by the Empecinado, which increase in numbers. At Madrid, Guerillas of the Faith are or ganising, but they can .lot procure horses-,the Con• In every Session of Parliament the affairs of Ire land occupy a large portion of the time and atten tion• of the Legislature, and, although some Honour able Members affect to attribute the evils with which the country is afflicted to misgovernment, yet, not one has suggested a system that affords the slightest. ' guarantee of producing more favourable results. If it has been found necessary to resort to severe legislative Measures, they have been tempered with mercy in their administration, ancf rescinded when the causes which rendered them necessary had ceased to exist. When the Insurrection Act was passed, the whole country was not put under its ban; it was only applied to counties wheze outrage so prevailed as to demand the severest measures, and then only on the call of the Magistracy of the county, while returning tranquillity was followed by its being immediately relieved from its operation. Nor has the Government been Jess attentive to re lieving the miseries than repressing the climes of I r eland; but it is impossible at once to change the character of a whole population, or to convert mil lions of people from a state of clime, poverty, and indolence, into peaceful and industrious citizcus—to I I change lazy peasants into hard-working mechanics, or Irish cabins into IEIIO .li cottages..cottages..Much may be (done in extending the . benefits of education among a population sunk in ignorance, and every encourage. stitutionalists havine r. , -taken them all away.

To judge by the reception which, necessary, but rather than cease to goad each other. the French have met with at Toledo, Ciudad Real, Nothing, we think, cap be more ill-a,:vised than the recent proceedings of the Catholic As.ociation in Dublin, which has voted an Address to the LORD LIEUTENANT, calling upon him to prevent .‘ the annual Chats Processions, which rake place in various parts of the country on the 12th of July." At any time an interference on the past of the LORD LIEUTENANT would be a very hazardous experi ment; but in the present state of party feeling in Ire land, it would be productive of consequences which it would be fearful to contemplate. " Here," as a Morning Contemporary well observes, " Here is Lord WELLEsnny, labouring indefatigably for these Catho lics, outraged by their enemiez, exposed to censure, to distress, and mortiflcatiOn—nay, to open ridicule—for the cake of the3e . Cathclics, and purely in conse quence of the attempts which .he has made to put down the demonstrations of the Dublin Orangemen ; and yet they (the Roman Catholics) are not con tent with the sufferings in which they have already involved his Excellency and Mr. PLUNKETT, but must now drive them into afresh attack upon an ad versary flushed with conquest and reunited in num• bers ; while the party thus to be ',fished on and de voted, are broken in spirit." WINDSOR, JUNE 22. The KING, we are harpy to say, appears ex.tremely well, and takes an airing every day in Windsor Park. Yesterday we were gratified with seeing his MA JESTY, attended by a Gentleman, -drive through the town in his little phaeton down Thames•strect and Datchet-lane, and round the Park wall by D.itchet Bridge and Old Windsor, on his return to the Lodge. As soon as it was known that his MAJESTY was going through the town, the church bells set up a merry peal, and in the evening the Town Hall and all his MAJESTY'S tradespeople were splendidly illuminated. The Rev. Mr. StnuNKR performed Divine Service, as Chaplain, ycsrcrday, before the kir°, &c. at the Lodge. His AIAJes-ry received the Duke of Cusr- BERLAND on his arrival at the door of the Lodge yesterday morning. The Royal Duke, accompanied by the Marquis of CONYNGHANI and his son, after wards rode on horseback from thr Lodge to the Cas tle, where • his Royal Highness staid some tics e, and then returned to the Cottage to dinner. This morn ing, at a quarter past twelve o'clock, hii Royal High ness left the Lodge for London. TilE AII,IIY. Thursday se'nnight the first division, consisting of four com. panics of the 93d Highlanders, conunanded by Major Caeca, marched from Ennisto Hurt, on their route for Mullingar. Co lonel Goanow and the head-quarters division have since proceeded on the same destination. _ The la battalion of the Coldstream Guards, now on duty in the Tower, will march from that station on th e 25th of July to Paddington, proceed from 'hence by canal boats to Liverpool, and embark for Ireland, for the purpose of relieving the lit G . renadier Guards. The Ist battalion of the Grenadier Guards, now on duty in Dublin, will, on being relieved by the Ist battalion of the Cold stream Guards, return to England the beginning of August.
