We have received the Paris Papers and Private Letters of Wedneiday, with the Pilote of yesterday, by Empress. A report prevailed in Paris that the Cortes bad denounced ABISBAL as a traitor—that the King of SPAIN was immediately to proceed to Cadiz, and that the French army in Catalonia was in a very critical situation. The Mon ileur contains two Official Dispatches from General GUILLEMTNOT. The first is dated Ma drid, May 25 5 and takes a retrospective view of the pro gress of the army, flour the opening of the campaign to its arrival in Madrid, during the whole of which time, he says, the troops have observed the strictest discipline, and constantly manifested the, desire of showing their devotion. The Geneial states, that on the arrival of the Due d'ANootmEsix at Buitrago on the 17th of May, he found a Constitutionalist (un parlimentaire), who had been sent by General ABIS SAL and the Municipality of Madrid, proposing wholly to evacuate Madrid on the arrival of the French army, in order to avoid those disorders which would result from the population being left to itself. This proposition being perfectly congenial to the in tentions of his Royal Highness, it was verbally agreed that a corps under the orders of General ZAYAS should remain in Madrid until the 24th, the day fixed for the entry of the French. The Report then mentions the attempt of BEssizarts to be the first in ac capital, and his defeat, with the loss ofloo men p: iLoners ; in consequence of which his Royal High ress sent his advanced guard to occupy the city'one day sooner than was agreed upon. The second is tile Official Dispatch relating to the affair at Tala- Nei a. The following are extracts : FROM THE MoNITEUR. " PARIS, JUNE 4. " ARMY OF THE PYRENNEES. " Report of the Major-General of the Army of the Pyrennees to the Minister of War:— " MAD QUARTERS, MADRID, Sirm MAY, 1823. " SlR—lmmediately after the entry of the army into Madrid ot. the 24th inst. his Royal Highneu the Commander-in-Chief gage orders that General Valhi), with the advanced guard of the let corps, reinforced by.two regiments of light-horse and four pieces of artillery, should advance on the road to Talavera de la Enna, after the rear-guard of the enemy, in order that be might be ready to attack it as soots as the time limited by the conven tion entered into fee the evacuation of the capital had expired, which was at half-past three o'clock 'in the morning of the 26th. " The intentions of his Royal Highness have been fulfilled. Alter a forced march of two days and a night, General Wallin regained on the enemy, and came up with him at six o'clock in the morning of the 27th, within half a league of Talavera, and near the bridge over the Alberche. The town was occupied by about three thousand infantry, five hundred horse, and four pieces of artillery. TWo squadrons of the 9th regiment of Chasseurs passed the bridge and charged those placed to defend it. They fired some discharges of case-shot, by which two Chasseurs of the 9th were wounded. The infantry having alio passed the bridge and took possession of a plantation of olives, where a part of the enemy was stationed. The sth hussars passed the river at a ford to the right of the town, and the remainder of the cavalry debouched, covering the artillery and the reserver —The 9th light infantry then made a rapid movement on the town, while the cavalry turned to the right. The enemy, vigo rously attacked in front and threatened on his flanks, endea voured to effect a precipitate retreat by the bridge of Tage, and in the direction of that of Arzobispo, and; succeeding in gaining the wood which lay in his route, avoided the charge of our ca valry, who had made a movement to get at him. The enemy had niany killed, a great number wounded, and we have taken 60 prisoners, among whom are a Lieutenant-Colonel and sonic Officers. Ile has also lost 15 waggons laden with arms, and his military chest, containing 40,000 francs. " General Vallin reports that the troops charged with much rapture and enthusiasm, and he mentions M. de Cliabaune, Chef d'Escadron of the 9th Chasseurs, who commanded the first charge; Captain Comte de Bouille, Aide-de-Camp of the Due de Reggio; Captain Compagniac of the 9th Light Infantry; Captain Mathias, his Aide-dc-Camp, and Lieutenant ?dilo, of the 13th Light Infantry, as having particularly distinguished themselves. The greatest order continues to reign in Madrid. (Signed) " Major-General Comte GUILLEMINOT." • FOURTH CORPS. " The Duc de Cornegliano, in a dispatch dated Carda Deu, May 29, informs the Minister of War, that General Donnadieu is in communication with General Pamphile Lacroix, command ing the 6th division of the Second Corps, at Balaguer." FROM THE PILOTE OF THURSDAY. NEWS FROM SPAIN AND ITS FRONTIERS. PUYCERDA, MAY 26. We have been here in great alarm by the circula tion of various reports. The last news states, that the French troops occupy the most essential points before Barcelona to form the blockade. It is announced that Romagosa is soon to arrive at Delver. PARIS, JUNE 4. It is said that the French have entered Manresa, and that Baron d'Eroles is at Saupedo, with 12,000 infantry and 1,200 cavalry. Mina is marching for Cllaf, having with him a numerous convoy. It is asserted that Cardona is going to lie besieged There was a confusion at Manresa on the approach of the French troops, and the parties came to blows: about twenty to twenty-five are said to have lost their lives. Accounts from Bayonne, of the 27th May, say— " Letters from Madrid state, that the evening of the 21st proved fatal to Bessieres, who, joined by some of the population of Madrid, summoned the town to surrender. They were attacked by 2,000 of the garrison,who destroyed them and made 800 prisoners." After the closing of the Stock Exchange, reports were circulated which had an effect on the Funds. It was said that the Cortes had denounced General d'Abisbal a traitor to his country. It was also said, that the King of Spain would be immediately re moved to Cadiz; and that our army is Catalonia was in a critical situation. The French troops occupy' Granolles, and their advanced posts are at Pleneda, Fosca, and Bar celona, extending to Moncada. It is stated as cer tain that a French squadron blockades Barcelona.

" Some disturbances broke out at Manresa, on the approach of the french troops, and twenty persons were killed. " The news from the Army is far from being salts. factory. Scarcely a day passes without Government receiving dispatches, but their contents are frequently not permitted to transpire, as was the case yesterday, when dispatches were received, said to be far from being satisfactory. " More men and money, and both in considerable quantity, must be sent, and that immediately, to Spain,ln order to enable the Duc d'Angouleme to maintain his present position. In Catalonia affairs have reached an important crisis." " PARIS, WZDIUMDAT. " The Constitutionalists and the Liberals here still continue to hope, and they say while Mina continues in arms in Catalonia the cause is not lost, and ought not to be despaired of. His whole conduct has in ' deed been very skilful, and, when aided by the hot weather, called by the Spaniards their best General, it is probable he may drive the French out of that part of the country. But before is able to accomplish this, which, if private act.c::..ts may be relied on, he is much nearer effecting than could be conjecture d from the official bulletins, his exertions will probably want the sanction of a Government—he will be branded as a rebel, and forsaken by the greater part of his troops, who will not fight aga:nst both the Priests and the. King. " Every day the Ultra party here grows more san guine, and more resolved to do nothing with mode ration. Most of them being out of office,. though 'governing even the Monaich by their inffuence, they know nothing of the trouble of directing operations, or of the difficulty of finding supplies. The official bulletins, which are manufactured for the Public, deceive them more even than the mass of the Parisians, because they wish them to be- true ; seeing none of. the obstacles which teach caution to the Ministers, and deceived by false accounts, they believe resistance impossible; and already claim for their party trouled sway. They are in the secret, and their statements of certain success throughout the south of Spain, of the triumph of the mode► ate party in the Cortes, of the defection of some Generals and the doubtful conduct of others, may be taken as an evi dence, not only of their wishes, but of the means employed to accomplish them. Mina, however, they cannot conquer, either by bribes or the sword ; and therefcre they calumniate him. They treat him as a brigand or a robber; and certain ai they appedr of carrying their point at Madrid, they run the risk of failing in Catalonia. If they fail it will be princi pally caused by self-delusion, very much strengthened, if not wholly created, by their attempts to delude others. At present tke, eis a sort of balance in pub lic opinion ; the successes of Mina having checked the progress of that despair to which the conduct of Abisbal and the accounts from Seville gave birth. " The hopes of the Liberals are strengthened from its being known that a serious division exists between some of the French Generals of the army of Catalonia. " The node and the other Ultra Journals, which serve General Donnadieu as Gazettes to • make his mat ches, if not his victories, known to the world, have l►tely published some accounts of his proceedings, which Moncey has not thought woi thy of an official dress. The old Marshal is cautious and peeiii,ll, and does not like to have his conduct inspected and com mented on, and in some measure dii ected, by an in ferior, but owing to his political tenets, more influen tial General. " The Spania.rds have so recently shaken off the yoke of superstition, of which they are not yet thoroughly tired, that they are not happy wanting it. Every Pro clamation appeals to some of their old feelings, and the Constitution is liable to have even its most zealous partisans seduced by returning gusts of tenderness and attachment to their old practices and old mas ters. The Greeks took up arms against their avowed oppressors ; they may be subdued by terror, but can never be seduced into slavery by affection for their oppressors. The Constitutional Spaniards, on the contrary, have for opponents, people whom they have long fegarded with veneration, and are more liable to be subdued by their own feelings than by the arms l of their antagonists. By appealing to their feelings, the French will ultimately succeed, and they will only fail, should the first blush of success hurry them on to employ and to rely only on violence." Our accounts from Bayonne this morning, which are to the 80th ult. give but a gloomy picture of the present state and future prospects of the French in Epain. Though the French army occupies Madrid, and the Due d'Ascoumexte has summoned the Coun- 1 cil of Castile, yet it is believed few of the Members will accept the invitation, and the nation will not obey its decisions. The victory of MINA over Gene ral DONNADIEIT at Vich, on the 19th ult. seems no longer questionable: at Bayonde it was reported that DONNADIRU was completely defeated, and afterwards taken prisoner; and that General CURIAL had also been defeated in four successive engagements pre vious to the 23d ult. Should this be the case, the French army in Catalonia may be considered as put hors de combat. The PASTOR and CASIPANILLA ate said to be at. tempting a junction, when their forces, ten thousand strong, will attack Vittoria, and endeavour to occupy the defiles of Salinas. Such a movement would ren der the situation of the French army in Madrid very critical in case of any reverse ; and even the Bayonne accounts hint at the possibility of the French retiring from Madrid, in which case it is said they will pro.. teed to Arragon, and establish their head-quarters at Saragossa. It is said that a salute of 101 guns' had been fired at Pampeluna, announcing, it was supposed, the victory of MINA. These accounts, however, must be received with some qualification, as they talk of an English Legion under Sir Roamer WILSON joining MortaLo. The following are extracts: BAYONNE, MIRY 29. The letters brought by the army courier from Ma drid not being yet delivered, we can only speak of the reports circulated here. Opinions are very much divided respecting the Council of Castile, convoked by the Duke of Angouleme. Some persons who are well acquainted with almost all the Ministers of that Council think that scarcely a fourth part of them will comply with the Prince's invitation, who, however, will supply their places by other persons, friends of the ancient system. It is thought that the decrees of this Junta cannot have the force of laws, unless they are supported by the French laws. • A report is current here, that it is not intended to confine to Spain the advantages of a new 'Govern ment, but that Portugal is to participate in them: in support of this nQtion, it is affirmed that the Patriarch of Lisbon, who has long resided here, is going to leave us, to preside in the PoquituesrJunta, which will I I meet first at Valladolid. We can say nothing'to this news, except that yesterday we saw the above-men. tioned Prelate pay unusual visits, which are said to hive been for the purpose of taking leave. Since yesterday reports have been circulated, af firming that (aen. Donnadieu was completely beater), by Mina on the 19th, and afterward, taken priso l ; er at Vich, and that General Cuiixl had been defeate,l in four successive engagements, which took place up to the 23d. If this were true the situation if Marshal Moncey would certainly be critical, and the left v, of our army much exposed. The centre and right wing would then be in a position rather hazaidou r, advanced as they are into the country, especially if v a is positively affirmed, the corps of the Pastor, whi c h i s in the Asturias, 'and that of Campanilla in the environs of Santander, unite to attack Vittoria, and occupy, with the ten thousand men that compose them, de important defiles of Salinas ; sivhile Gen. !gorill a , with the army of Gallicia and the Foreign Legice from England, landed at Corunna, would attack the first corps in flank, as far as Madrid, the farther o r , cupation of which would then be very hazardous. This part of the plan is said to originate with St r Robert IVilson, who will serve only as a volunteer , and with a French Genet al Officer, now in exik,ela appears only in the Council. Should it •be carri e d into effect, and our army find it necessary to roi l from Madrid, it must be towards Arragon (th a n , if the Spaniards occupy Salinas), and then it ai ry take up a position on • the left of the Ebro, a n d s 6 head-quarters be fixed at Saragossa. Then, perh aps, it may be thought proper seriously to Ness the siege of Parnpeluna, St. Seirastian, and Santora; whi c h have hitherto been so incompletely blockaded, that the garrisons continue to obtain supplies, whi c h enable them to make a longer resistance when they are attacked in form. Thus, say the advocat es c f the Spanish Cortes, the war is nat finished, but the resistance announced by the Speni.ll Ministers , now begin. The Captain of a vessel who left St. Andero co Sunday, reports, that there were no French troop s there, nor any of the Army of- the Faith; that th e I remains of the latter had been collected by Loop, and led by him before Santona. The town is for tke present left to itself, all the Civil and Military Ag. thorities of the two parties having left, for fear ofre• action ; the place, however, is tranquil. An English vessel entered St. Sebastian the day before yesterday, the French squadron cruizing be• fore that port not thinking proper to insalt the British flag. A person who has come from the environs of Pam. peluna says, that on Friday a salute of 101 canoe was fired there, which should seem to announce some great rejoicing. We do not know what may hare been the occasion, unless they had received news ti the reported victory of Mina on the 19th. The Guerilla of Chapallengarra daily becomes stronger. It has been for some days in the Rona; where it is supposed that it will act for the future. d considerable number of caissons with provisions ban been sent to the army. The workmen are still ray actively engaged in the palisading of our place, are repairing the walls, which have been neglected fit a long time. Brussels Papers to the 3d inst. Mitch Papers ore day later, and the flainhurgh Correspondent to the 31st ult. reached us this forenoon.
