" FIRAD-QUARTESS, SARAGOSSA OCT. 12. " My LORD—On the 23d of September, General San Miguel (Es-Minister of the Cortes), Chief of ,the Staff of the army of Catalonia, marched out of Tarragona in the middle of the night, with about 3,000 infantry and 400 c.ivalry, proceeding by the mountains of Lerida, which he entered on the 26th. Baron D'Eroles fol lowed this movement with his division, of which the brigade Tromelin . was part, and placed himself on the Segre, towards Balagtwr, and Camarosa. He sent orders to General Capape,commanding the Arragonese Corps at Fraga. At the same time General Santos Ladron, at Tamarite, received information that the Navarrese battalions which left Pampeluna, werle on the march to join his division. The enemy intended not only to reinforce Lerida, but to attempt a distant move ment, ascending the Segre, to succour the Seu d'Urgel and Figuieras. They marched out on the 28th, but the forces which they saw collecting against them, and the news of the taking of Figuieras, soon made them go in again, and the infantry did not come out any more. On the first news I received of this movement at Pam. peluna, I sent the regiment of the Infant Don Carlos to. ward Huesca, by way of Sanguesa and the Cincovillas. I had at the same time on the road to Saragosa the bri gade of cavalry of General Chastelleux, and the brigade of infantry of General DAmsement, commanded by Lieut.-General recheux. , 4 When I arrived on the sth at Saragossa, I learnt that the enemy's cavalry still kept the field, after having passed the Cinca, and that it was in vain attempting to repass that river, the two banks of which were guarded by Generals Santos Ladron .and Capape. I did not hesitate immediately to send towards Lerida, the actual object of my operations, the division of Pecheus, which entered Saragossa the day before; but I directed it to wards Monzon. by Alcubiere and Polinillo, that it might attack and outflank the column of General San Miguel, who we knew commanded this corps, which had been joined by the partisan Barbiscure, of Monzon, with 60 horse, who generally remained at Lerida. The divi sion set out on the 6th, and on the 7th, in the evening, took a position at Polinillo and Vjllaries. In the night information was received of the enemy's march. After having marched towards Barhastro he had retired, and attempted to repass the Cinca at Santa Lecirra and • :Alcolca, and Chalamera; but finding the fords every where guarded by the troops of Santos Ladron, be bad retired towards Castelfollit and Xixena, and in the night traversing the road which the French army followed; be had passed the Alcanadre, as if to proceed in the 'direction of Huesca, and had halted at the village of Salinas. I had instructed General Pecheux to send the cavalry close after the enemy, as soup as he could be overtaken, and to pursue him so as to force him back to Fraga, to surround, destroy, or take him. :fire Report here details the proceedings till Gene rals Chastelleux and Capape met with the enemy, drawn up in good order, and covered by numerous sharp shooters, near 'f ramaced. The enemy received the first shock with firmness, and there were some killed and wounded on both sides. Among the killed was the French Lieutenant Abel, of the Hussars. But the Spa- • niards being 'immediately afterwards charged by Colo nel Burgraff, with two squadrons of Hussars, and by Colonel Faudoas at the head of the Chasseurs, they were broken, and congdeiejy isititecl; leaving their bag gage and eighty prisoners, besides fifty killed. The Re port adds; that the enemy, flying in different directions, the greater part were taken prisoners, in small parties. 'Among the prisoners is General San Miguel, severely wounded, and the Cute Barbes. The reach less is stated to be Lieutenant Abel, of the Hussars, and Sub- Lieutenant Baur, of the Chasseurs, killed on the field of battle ; and two hussar's, four chaiseurs, and a subaltern officer of hussars, wounded.

MADRID, OCTORER AS, .4 The following is a Decree of his Majesty, dated Le ./ brigs, the 6th, and published off the 10th instant in the Supreme Council : " In casting my eyes on the MOST HIGH, who had deigned to deliver me from so many dangers, and to lead me back, as it were by the hand, among my faith ful subjects, I experience a feeling of horror when I re collect all the sacrifices, all the crimes, which the im pious have dared to commit against the Sovaagfon CREATOR of the Universe. " The Ministers of Religion have been persecutedand sacrificed, the venerable successor of St. Peter has been insulted, the Temples of the LORD profaned and de stroyed, the Holy Gospel trod under foot ; lastly, the inestimable inheritance which Jesus CHRIST left us the night of his holy supper, to assure us of his love and of our eternal felicity, the sacred hosts, have been tram pled under foot. " My soul cannot be at rest until united to my be loved subjects. We shall offer to Gon . pious sacrifices, that he may deign to purify by his grace the soil of Spain from so many stains. In order that objects of such importance should be attained, I have resolved that in all places in my dominions, the Tribunals, the Juntas, and all Public Bodies, shall implore the cle mency of the ALMIGHTY in favour of the Nation, and that the Archbishops, Bishops, and Capitular Vicars of vacant Sees, the Priors of Orders, and all those who exercise ecclesiastical jurisdiction, shall prepare mis sions which shall exert themselves to destroy erroneous,. pernicious, and heretical doctrines, and shut up in the monasteries, of which 'the rules are the most rigid, those ecclesiastics who have been the agents. of an impious factiOn.—Sighed by my Royal hand." This Decree is also in the official part of the Mon ifeur. FROM TIM JOURNAL DZ PARIS. PARIS, OCTOBER 19. The head-quarters of the army of Spain were on the 11th at Camona. According to the Etoik, General Berge,bas been seat' with a flag of truce to Barcelona. The Governor Rotten has answered, that he would obey the orders which should be sent him directly 1 the King of Spain. A telegraphic dispatch received at Paris yesterday, announced that the epidemic disorder at Passages having insirely disappeared, the Board of Health had declared that the measures of precaution were to celse. The Cordon will be withdrawn on the 2Sd of this month. ?Rog THg COURIER YRANCAIS. PARIS, OCTOBER 1 9. The Ministers, the Dignitaries, the Marshals, and a great number ofGeoerals, have had the honour to pay their respects to the King and to their Royal Highnessei. Yesterday afternoon there was an extraordinary Council of Ministers at M. deVillele's. At - the breaking up of the Council, the Minister of Foreign Affairs waited on his Royal Highness Monsieur. He returned there, and did not come away till eleven. A report is spread to-day that the Ministers of War, Marine, and the Interior, will not retain their posts.- ' The fact is, that the Duke of Belluno quitted the Hotel of the War Department this morning. The Marshal Minister of War is going to pass some time on his estate. His Excellency bad his audience of leave of hii Majesty-this morning.—Etoik. mut THE CONSTITIITIONNEL. People are surprised at the silence of both the Moni tear and the Journal des Debra: respecting the affairs of Spain. For some days past these two Journals have confined themselves to copying the news from the Penin sula, without adding a single reflection. It is thought they expect some answer from Seville or Madrid. The King and Royal Family of Spain arrived on the Bth at Seville,where they were received with great pomp. The whole city was illuminated. • THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 22, 1823. THE FUNDS. ; Iv 1 that we - have yielded, - knowing that our expectations are founded on the information ivhich• the King pos- sesses of the wishes of the majority of the judicious part of the nation. In fact, Li', Majesty's manifesto, which we insert, is an important document, which holds out to us a flatter ing prospect. His Majesty promises to the Spaniards, that they shall not ;:gain be governed by the system they have so much detested, but that their personal security, their property, and their civil lib:n-oes, shall be re spected. The oblivion of the past is a measure neces sary fn that confidence which is indispensable to the reconciliation of all parties. The recognition of the debts which have been contracted gives sanction to the principle that he was in perfect liberty at the time when Lis enemies declared the contrary. In fine, the promise which is made of the preserva tion of the rank of so many meritorious men, whose ta lents and virtues may yet prove of the greatest utility to their country, and the protection which is offered to the brave militia of Madrid, Seville, and other places, exhibit the Father who loves his subjects, and who ap precia-es the sacrifice of their comforts which they made in abandoning their homes and their families, when the situation of their ceunti y requited it. These consider ations afford ground for Hato ing hopes, and the free and spontaneous manner in which the Royal promise has been given is calculated to induce us to trust that Lis Majesty, instructed by experience, now knows how to render his subjects happy, and is resolved to pursue that object in order to obtain a distinguished place among the Monarchs who have secured to themselves , the esteem and gratitude of the people whom PRovl- DENCE entrusted to their care. STOCK EXCHANGE. TWELVE O'CLOCK. Consols opened this morning at 831, at which price they are steady, with scarcely any fluctuation, as most persons seem cautious to speculate at the present momtnt. The &presses from Paris have brought the French Rentes at 90f. SSe. Spanish Bonds were done there on Monday at 28, but fell afterwards to 26i, at which price they left off. A private letter states, that the change in the French Ministry has had some effect on the minds of the Public, an idea being taken up that they will not suffer the King of Sratst to pursue his pre sent career.

A new deCree is spoken of, which will send away a vast number of great persons ; -among them the Count of Onate, the Dukes of Altamira, of Abrantes, and c Medina Celi ;the Duchess of Benavente, the Marquisses of Alcaniz, of Santa Cruz, of Villa Saterna, of Villa Franca, and the Prince of Anglona are mentioned. A contribution of 6,000,000 (francs) is to be levied on the city of Madrid. ', I . _ Colonel Amor has 4 capittilisted with 550 cavalry, which he had remaining with him. • The French Gardes du Corps are almost all getout for Aranjorz. The regiment of Cuirassiers of the Guards has also set out for the road to Andalusia, - where it is to take- up temporary positions by detachments, which indicates the approaching return of the King, who is expected at Madrid the 21st,with the Dut d'Angouleme. It is Morillp who seized the galleons coming from Manilla. The Junta of Purification has received orders from the Regency to verify within ten days the titles of the functionaries threatened with the loss of their employ ment's, and of those who are to recover their situation's. Everything is preparing at Aranjuez for the recep tion of their Majesties. The King will arrive at Madrid on Nov. 20 ; and the town is quite *drunk with joy. Another Decree of the King has ordered the dissolution of the army. His Majesty has sent Collars of the Golden Fleece* the Prilice of Carignan, and the Chief of the French Staff, Count Cvuilleminot. The same honour has been conferred on the Duke of Hijar, Gentleman of the Bed chamber, who served his Majesty in this capacity con stantly at Cadii, and pn the Count of Corres. Among the persons who are to be sent away from Madrid, are the . Nobles of Spaiq who served in the voluntary Militia of the Cortes, and their number is said to amount to eleven, It is said that the Duke del Parque, the Prince of Anglona, the Marquess of Alcapien, .and the Duke of Abrantes, will be banished from the kingdom. At the time when Riego was passing through Manza naves, a regiment of cavalry (Constitutionals) had ad vanced from Estramadura, with the intention, it was supposed, of carrying him off. The regiment of Cui rassiers de Berrymade preparations to attack them, when of a sudden the others, amounting to 470 horse, de• manded and obtained an honourable capitulation. This was the fine regiment of Lusitania. SEVILLE, OCTOBER 9.--(BY EXPRESS)._ Their Majesties, as well as the Infantes, continue to enjoy the most perfect health. This morning, at ten o'clock, they went out on foot, and repaired to the Pa triarchal and Metropolitan Church; to attend the Te Deum. The troops were drawn up on their passage. Their Majesties were conducted in procession up to the principal altar, where the King was seated on a - chair, under a canopy, and the Infantes in places near his Majesty. The le Deum was sung with a full orchestra, and the ceremony was magnificent. At noon, all the civil and military bodies of the town were admitted to kiss• the Kicg's hand ; and his Ma-, jesty granted to the Ecclesiastical body the precious fie-. your of being the first presented. OCTOBER 10.--The 'Duke of Angouleme passed through here going to Carmona. He was received with, the greatest enthusiasm. His second interview of tbe . King was the most moving thing possible. The Printes and the Princesses expressed their gratitude to him with' a grace and vivacity which words cannot describe. It was delightful to them to salute itt their liberator a Prince of their own family. MADRID, OCTOBER 14. Our journals publish the following extract from a Report made by the Military Commandant of Cabra to the Military Commandant at Cordova : 4! I received yesterday the important news of the oc cupation of Cadiz by the brave French troops, our allies. Immediately I caused the official notice of this event to by published, which excited transports of joy among the whole faithful population of.this town ; .but, unford Unlatch, this town is the head-quarters of the troops under General Ballasteros, and the whole of bis soldiers, from the first to the last, are deeply'ipiibued With those mischievous principles with wilickrtbor spfectedivar soil. " These incorrigible revoltitioniati had the andacity to tear down the official notice. They chew themselves ! ,on every point unfaithful tO'..the Convention of the 4th of August. What has preserved these guilty propen sities in them, have been the perverse and malicious in tentions of General Ballasteros, who spread among them the 'roclamation which the King was forced to sign at Cadiz under the daggirs of his enemies. The Revolutionists profit.by this piece to dare and threaten the Royalists. This state of things cannot be changed till the troops are sentawZy'who are so much opposed to the sovereignty of the King our master." " Cabra, October 7." Orders have been given for the disbanding of the turps of Bat lasteros, and measures taken for the prompt execution of these orders. PARIS,.OOTORP4L 40.
