The Moniteur, in its official part, contains a Report of Comte BORDESOULLZ. Lieutenant-General, commanding the troops of the Expedition to Andalusia, to his Royal Highness the Duc d'Anootmema, relative to his engagement with the Constitutional forces at Santa Cruz, announced in the Official Bulletin we gave yesterday. Of this Report the following is an abstract : U MONSEIGNEUR-4 have the honour to inform your Royal Highness that all the reportstaving con firmed to me that General Placentia, who succeeded Schaleco hi the command of the Constitutional Divi sion of La Mancha, and who had retired on the 6th instant, at eleven o'clock at night, from Manzanares, on Santa Cruz, after he had taken his position, bad the imprudence to march from this last point on Al magfo, with a battalima and three hundred horse, to engage the Royalist ttoops commanded by Manuel Adam,.called Locho. " This has been confirmed by the report of Locho, stating, that he was attacked by superior force, and demanding that I would march to his assistance.— Instead of yielding to his request, I left at midnight, on the Bth inst. to march en Santa Cruz, where the Duc de Dino had orders to meet rue with his ad vanced guard. This General Officer, in fact, sur rounded Santa Cruz, at half-past two o'clock in the morning ; but the Constitutional troops having pro bably been informed of this movement, had left the town at midnight, and he only found in the village a Captain and eight soldiers of the regiment of Al manza. This Officer found them occupied with pre paring accommodation fur the column of Placentia, r. hick had been recalled by my movement. The Duc de Dino made dispositions for opposing his passage, -but as several soldiers escaped on the route to Elmo ral, I doubt not but that Placentia had taken that of Elviso. I ordered, in consequence, that the Duc should advance rapidly on the column which had taken the route to Andalusia, and to destroy it. I made, at the same time, the brigade of dragoons, Commanded by the Marshal-de•Camp Canguan, to march rapidly on Elviso. " The Out de Dino coming up with the enemy near Vanillo, and finding them in a position difficult to force, ordered Conae d'Arsoult to attack his left on his flank, and, at the same time, that two other squadrons of Chasseurs charged him in front. These several attacks were made with such unity and impe tuosity. that the artillery, which was already formed, had not time to fire before the infantry charged, without forming in a square, as was intended. All was over in the twinkling of an eye (an din (wit). A standard, which I have charged my Aide-de- Camp to present to your Royal Highness, 600 pri soners of infantry, 50 of cavalry, 18 Officers, two pieces of cannon, three waggons, much baggage, and a military chest, containing 17,000 francs, are the result of this brilliant affair of the 4,dvanced guard. in which all the troops have strewn an ardour beyond expression, all being eager for the combat." The Report then proceeds to call the attention of his Royal Highness to the Officers, one of whom is stated to have taken the standard from forty men' who guarded it, and to have made the bearer prisoner, and others who performed feats equally extraordi nary. The Prince de CARIGNAN if said to have at tacked the rear-guard of the troops of Placentia, and made 50 prisoners ? "Thus (says the Count), the troop which consisted of four or five hundred men, and was pompously called the Division of La Mancha, exists no longer ; 150 men only, after having sustained a charge, in which they left 30 prisoners, had two offi cers killed, and many men wounded,have fled to carry the news of their defeat to Seville, where I shall ar rive not later than the 22d." The Count states that he has not to regret the loss of any person: he has had very few men slightly wounded, and has lost some horses, which have been replaced by those taken from the Constitutional cavalry. The Report is dated Santa Crux, June 9, and is countersigned by Count GIIILLEMINOT. PARIS, JUNE 17. gitOlt THE CONSTITUTIONNZL. The Ministerial Evening Papers announce that the Gazette extraordinary of Madrid, of the 7th of June, states that General Edmond Perigaud had surprised, at Santa Cruz de Mudela, and at Viso, in the Sierra Morena, 2,000 men, whom they made prisoner,. - . NEWS FROM tHE FRONTIERS OF SPAIN. The Journals of Toulouse of the 11th inst. publish the following official information : " On the 7th inst. at six o'clock in the morning, Mina left Osseja, Pallau, Age, and Sasperdun, which he occupied, with his forces, and marched for Car dona, by the mountains. He was pursued in that direction for two hours by two French companies; and two companies of the corps of Romagosa. u Baron agYNAUD." The Echo estimates the force united under the or ders of Mina, which marches in two columns, from four to five thousand men, and it is assured they are accompanied by a ionvoy of 100 to 120 mules, car rying empty sacks. PERPIGNAN, JUNE 9. We do not expect until to-morrow positive news of Mina, either from Cerdagne or Olot. In the interim we have accounts from the inhabitants of the above country, who arrived here this day. Mina caused the Municipalities of Osseja and Pollan to be called to him, demanding of them provisions; after which he put himself in march, on the 7th, by• the Col de Roses : it is believed he is going to Figueroa. It is also said, that Mina, • on his march, exchanged troops at Cardona and Seu, which he is also going to do with the garrison of Figueroa, and by which means he will always have fresh troops with him. According to accounts from Barcelona, that town enjoys the greatest tranquillity, and is • continually provisioned by small vessels entering the harbour. On the Ist of June an English brig appeared off this coast, and was hailed by the Commandant of the French squadron, but did not obey the first or second cannon which was fired, accordingly several boats went after her and brought the brig alongside of the French Admiral: this took place in the presence of the population of Barcelona, and the English Consul, who said that the blockade of Barcelona had not been officially announced to his Government, and it is said he immediately dispatched a courier to the English Aqibassador at Seville on the subject. The French have evacuated Praga arid Balaguer : Ballasteros, who marched on Valencia to raise the siege, has returned to the frontiers of Arragon, after having reinforced his corps with 5,000 men, part of which were conscripts, and the remainder old troops, by which means he has now with him 16,000 men. This General enjoys great confidence in the provinces of Catalonia, Valencia, and Arragon, and the Consti tutionalists have great faith in him. The corps of Ulman has retired to Arragon. PERPIGNAN, JUNE 10. Mina entered Campredon on the Bth, with 3,500 troops. GEEONA, JUNE 8. We are assured that Mina is this day in the neigh bourhood of Olot ; in .this position he finds himself surrounded by several French Corps, who will attack him and destiny his army. A French Regiment made all haste from Villa Real to Bergera, and was just in time to rescue Abis bal from the hands of the Alcade, who was just going to have him shot. Abisbal has arrived in France. M.Juan de Eno, Minister of Finance of the Re gency established at Madrid, writes to M. Outrequin, banker, at Paris, as follows:- 4 4 Having omitted in my last, of the 30th ult. to inform you that all the hypotheses which guarantee the Loans made by the Cortes will be appropriated to that which is going to be raised by the Government, I keg of you to make it known on 'Change, because all the debts contracted by the pretended Constitu tional Government have been declared null and void." PARIS, JUNE 17. Count Abisbal has arrived at Bayonne. This Ge neral owes his preservation to a French regiment, which hastened from Villa Real on the news of his arrest, and arrived at the moment he was about to be shot. The Editors and Proprietors of the Courier Fran-I pais, and the Pilote, have been called upon to carry into execution the judgment of the Cour Royale, which pronounced the sentence of suspension against those Journals for fifteen days. A letter from Meridd a Truxillo, to General Lopez Banoz, Commandant of the 3d corps of the Army of I Operation, and penned by his nephew, has been in tercepted. It states that the intelligence respecting Portugal is confirmed. On the Ist of June the Con- , sti. ion tus was abolished at Lisbon. On the 2d, the guns were fired at Elvas, in rejoicing for this event. The cannon was heard at Badajoz, where it was an nounced that the new Portuguese Government was about to form a cordon on the frontier of the king dom, to prevent all communication with the Spanish revolutioniits. The last Number of the Pik* has been stopped at the Post Office, and seized, for inserting, from the London Papers, the Treaty concluded at Verona against Representative Governments. • Fume rostne.—Tuelday, !he - per Cents. SU 45e. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. " PARIS, JUNE 17. " A Spanish Courier from Madrid arrived this morning at Paris. It is said that on the 240 uk Sir Robert Wilson left Lugo to repair to Lisbon, charged with a mission of the highest importance.— It is added, that the Neapolitan General, Pepe, who landed at Vigo, had re-embarked with his suite for Lisbon, whence he would proceed to Seville, " On the 6th, a Constitutional corsair captured a French ship, off the coast of Catalonia, where thir teen corsairs are said so be craning. " Letters from Puycerda, 'received to-day, an nounce that on the Bth instant Mina was at Doria, Planotes, and Rogues Blatxres; on the 9th, at Campredon and Ripoll. Romagosa was, on the 9th, at Puycerda; and the Baron d'Erolles, with 7,000 men, was marching rapidly on Ripoll. " It appears that the inhabitants of French Cer dagne bad recovered from the fright occasioned by the appearance of Mina. Many persons who had quitted Puycerda had began to return. They accom panied the Bisb op of Urgel, who had fled to Mont Louis. " Mina, before quitting Seu, replaced a part of the garrison with such of his troops as were most fatigued. He also left some of his wounded, such baggage as incommoded him, and a great supply of provisions belonging to those who had emigrated. " Other letter from Catalonia state, that on the night of the 4th and sth inst. General Cui ial hastily quitted Mataro, on the approach of General Manso. Curial divided his troops into two columns, one of which took the road of Arens del Mar, and the other that of Granolles. It appears that this m've ment of Curial's was so sudden that he abandoned a large supply of provisions, which fell into the power of General Manso, and was immediately sent to Barcelona. Manso did not remain long at Mataro. " Letters received to-day from Perpignan state, that on the Bth instant Marshal Moncey arrived at Gerona, and that lie had sent 800 muskets to Man rasa to arm the inhabitants. 1 thousand more frym the depot at Bellegarde will be forwarded imme diately. On the 9th, 100 men of the train of artil lery arrived at Perpignan, from Metz. "The generosity of Mina is much extolled; and it is said, that when he demanded provisions of the Mayors - of Yana* and Osseja, which they supplied in great abundance, he paid twenty francs more for the cattle, and three francs more for a measure of wine, than the price charged. A short time ago, we were told that Mina was without men or money." A private letter is said to have been received from Paris stating, that Merino had defeated the Empeci uado at Meraliese, and taken 100 prisoners. Last night a Spanish Cabinet courier arrived at the Foreign Office, with dispatches from the new Re gency of Madrid, dated the l! 7th instant. He bring s accounts from Seville of the sth instant at which time the King had not left the City. The advanced guard of the French army was expected to reach Seville on the 18th or 19th instant. Frankfort Papers to the 13th instant reached us this forenoon. One of them contains a long article on the causes which led to the suppression by the Diet, of the German Observer published in Wirtem berg, though nothing is said respecting the great Powers having withdrawn their Ambassadors from the Court of Stutgard, so confidently asserted in the French Papers. The monotony of parliamentary discussions was last night relieved in the House of Commons by an amusing discussion on the chili, of the well known Mrs. Salutes to be an Olive-branch of the Royal Fa mily of England. This lady is a novel-writer and a poet; and one day when she bad exhausted worlds of fiction, like SIMICSPEARE, she determined to ima gine a new one, of which herself should be the heroine. Her a eye, in a fit of frenzy rolling," saw that an ac cession to the Royal Family of England in her own person, if it would not give hopes of youthful heirs to the throne, might perhaps be useful in extending our alliances, and she therefore determined to confer this benefit on the country. This Lady, whose talents in fabricating documents had previopsly been displayed in proving that her uncle, Dr. WILMOT, was the real Amin, aimed at higher game, to which this was but the stepping stone ; she not only claimed to be a member of the Royal Family, but sbe even insinuated that she could change the succession to the Throne itself. As, in a metropolis like that of London, there are always some persons ready to engage in any speculation, however extravagant, for the hope of gain, Mrs. SEEMS con trived to hire a carriage, assumed the Royal arms and Royal livery; the talked loudly of her claims, not only of birth, but also of a peculiar nature; and, on the strength of these contrived to live some time. She even enlisted someof the newspapers in her cruse ; some well• meaning, but weakheaded person; really believed that this Cockney Caraboo was by birth a British Princess ! Among those who appear to have given most cre dit to her statements was Sir GERARD Nom, who last night presented a petition from her to the House of Commons, and provoked a debate more amusing than generally occurs within the walls of St. Ste pben's—the result was, that this Olive-branch was lopped from the tree on which slis.had endea voured to graft herself. This we were prepared for ; but we confess we did think that Mrs. SERRES was a more ingenious plotter than she appears to be.' Knowing that dead men tell no tales, she contrived that all her documents should be signed by indivi duals who could no longer detect her. Other pre cautions were, howeve r, necessary, and these M rs . Sautes omitted. She made the great Lord CBAT RAU a party to a secret and confidential con3muni cation from his late KAJWITY, at a time that that statesman least of all possessed lips But this is not all ; she has got, ur rather bad got, the signature of the late Earl -to one of her documents; but, unforti has made him sign by a title, that of be did not adopt until many years , A third signature professes to be that of of Warwick ; but here Mrs. &MIES never seen his signature. This Gem was Haddo ; but in Warwick he was, cockney pronunciation, called Addor, which led R N Saaau into the woful mistake of thus writinghisnaet, The fourth signature is that of her uncle, D r . % kw; and here one wou1:1 have thought she would, at I nes have taken care to he correct; but en the coat t . o r she blunders worse than ever, fo r s h e wakes hi p sign a certificate of marriage at Warwick at the 4 . 1 time that he was a Fellow of Trinity College, 0,, ford—and that ton on a day when it is proved lt e ,„ l residing in the College. After such An exposure, n we say the Petition of Mrs..SCRRES was rejected': 7'IIE KING. WiNnsort, Jews 19.

The different services of plate and chair, presented to the Noble Duke upon the occasion, were used. The band of the Royal Artillery, in full uni form, attended and played during the evening. The Duke of CUMBERLAND returned to town at a late hour on Tuesday night, from his Royal High ness's visit to the KING, at Windsor. The Marquis of LOWDONDaRRY is returned from Vienna, last from Paris. During his Lordship's shmt residence at the latter place he lost his Star of the Or der of the Bath, and all the exertions of the police "to make any discoveries respecting it bare hitherto proved in vain. DREADFUL AFFRAY.—WE extract the following account of a fatal affray from the Fre:inner Jonah of Tuesday, received this morning.— ,, On Friday the 13th, a violent affray took place at Maghera Fair, in the County of Derry, between a numerous band of Orangemen, and their opponents who are describe , ' as Ribbonmen, which continued for two hours, when the latter were drove out of the town, leaving 8 orlo killed,. and 16 wounded, some say SO. We have not heard that any of the Orangemen, were injured. It is added, that after. the melancholy event, the Orangemen paraded the town and broke the win. lows of several of the Catholic inhabitants; we co not vouch for the melancholy detail in all its pis* lars, but have reason to fear it is too true."
