After four leagues quick marching on the road to Gijon, he overtook Campillo, who had taken up a position in the vilbge of Couvion, near Co lunga.—He did not hesitate to attack him, though he had but ninety men with him. " In spite of a stout resistance the enemy was dislodged. Campillo having succeeded in rallying his troops, and perceiving to what a small number they had yielded, endeavoured with 500 men to retake the village ; but Colonel Goutefray bad so ably disposed his ninety breves, that he managed, with only a i part of them, to repulse the attack. " General Hubert came up at this moment with an escort of; fifteen horse chasseurs ; and taking the command, the enemy were completely routed, and did not rally till favoured by the darkness of the night. " This affair cost Campillo 35 killed, of whom two are supe rior Officers, 42 wounded, and 57 prisoners. • 41 He have taken, besides, eight waggons filled with arms and ammunition, which were immediately given to the Royalists of the country, who presented themselves in great numbers. " We have only to regret the loss of two killed, and five wounded ; among whom is the Cbief of Battalion Bartholet de la Georgette, who powerfully contributed to the success of the day. " General Hubert slept on the 234 at Colunga, and on the 24th at Villaviclosa, where he was received by the inhabitants with the liveliest enthusiasm. "On the 25th he marched on Gijon. At his approach Cam pillo retired so suddenly that he left behind a ctibtribution of 375,000 francs, which was ready to be delivered to him. His wounded threw themselves with such precipitation into the boats already loaded with arms for Corunna, that one of them was upset and sunk. A great quantity of muskets, which were piled upon the quay, were thrown into the sea by the soldiers, who, for the most part, concealed themselves in the town, in order to join afterwards our troops. " Twelve twenty-four-pounders, one twelve, some muskets, two hundred boxes of cue-shot, and other ammunition, have faUen into our hands. 0 The troops who pursued Campillo by the road, along the sea-shore, made further fifty prisoners, while General Hubert pushed directly on Aviles a detachment of infantry and cavalry, which completed the destruction of the enemy. " Cummunicationshave been afterwards established with Ge neral D'Albignac,•by Oviedo, where General Hubert would ar rive with his Cavalry and the 7th Light Infantry on the 20th. " While these operationi were going on, the Spanish General Longa, who pursued the band of Santa Rants on the road of Oviedo by Mier Gauges and Indesto, attacked that partisan on the 23d, made him prisoner, with 35 of his men, took three hundred muskets, and, continuing the pursuit of the band, which consisted of about 300 men, captured next day its bag gage, and caused it other losses. General Longa arrived on the 25th at Insiesto. [Here follows a particular eulogium on the corps and Officers employed in these different affairs]. " Count O'Donnel, Captain-General of Old Castile, informs his Royal Highness that the moveable column, under the or ders of Colonel Count de Negri, has completely beaten a revo lutionary corps in the environs of Ciudad Rodrigo, on the 27th June, and taken its cannon. This affair does the more honour to the Spanish Royalist troops, that they have had the advantage over forces much superior in number. " Colonel hiondeden, of the division of the Spanish General Beuieres, has destroyed, on the 28th, at Picaze, near Sisante, almost on the frontiers of Murcia, a detachment of one hundred and fifty cavaliers of the enemy ; he has taken a Lieutenant- Colonel, three other Officers, and a great number of Sub-officers, and:soldiers, among whom are many wounded. A few only of the cavaliers have succeeded in escaping " Head-Quarters, Madrid, 2d July, 1823. " By order of his Royal Highness, " The Major-General Comte GUILLEMINOT." This morning we received intelligence from Bayonne to the 4th inst. which, to use a favourite phrase with American Editors, would be " import ant if true." The report of General BOURCK having sustained a severe defeat, prevailed at Bayonne. BAYONNE, JULY 3. The delay of the mail from Madrid, which we have not yet received, and the non-appearance of the bulletin, have given occasion to the circulation ofi various unfavourable reports respecting the state of l affairs in Spain. Some of these we will mention: such as that the Prince has given orders to Generals Bout desoulle and Bourmont to withdraw from Andalusia, and to concentrate their troops in the neighbourhood of Madrid, the tranquillity of which does not appear to be very secure. Some even pretend that secret orders have been , given for the whole Army to return to the Ebro : it is further added, that General Bourck, having suffered severely, has retreated to Valladolid; and that M. de Martignac is going immediately to Paris to give an account of the state of affairs in Spain. The number of sick in the Army is said to inerease in an alarming degree. Such are some of the reports spread here in the absence of official and certain news. The 41st Regiment sets out to-day for Spain, though the weather is most execrable. Immense quantities or provisions continue to be accumulated in this city and the environs, so that it is necessary to hire every warehouse that can be obtained, even such as are not well adapted to the purpose, and it is apprehended that a considerable part of the grain and flour may be damaged before they can be used. We have just received letters from Saragossa, which say that the garrison of Lerida made a sally on the 20th with a superior force, and proceeded in the direc tion of Hamaril, where Santos Ladren bad collected the troops which were employed in the blockade of Menzon: this General is reported to have sustained so severe a loss that he had sent on the 2lst, to Sa ragossa, earnestly desiring a reinforcement. In the same letters it is affirmed, that his Royal Highness the Duke of Angouleme had been in immi nent danger of being carried off by a guerilla pimp • in a promenade which he took in . the environs of the capital. • Brussels Papers to the 9th, •and Dutch Papers one day later, reached us this morning, but they cotstaiu no intelligence of importance. • EXPRESS FROM PARIS. This forenoon we received, by Express, the French Papers of Wednesday, and private advices from our own Correspondent of the same date. The Moniteur announces that the Duke de SAN CARLOS, who has been appointed by the Madrid Regency to reside at the Court of Prance with the character of Ambassa dor Extraordinary from his Majesty FERDINAND VII. had on Tuesday presented his credentials, at a public audience of his M AJESTY.--Our priunte Letter states, that on the same day the Marquis of HASTINGS dined with the KING, and was the object of the most marked attention by his MAJESTY, who laid by all the forms of state, and conversed with his Lordship in the most familiar and friendly manner. The news from the seat of war is comprehended in the two fol lowing Bulletins from Count GUILLEMINGT and ,Marshal MoNcET. FOURTH CORPS. DISPATCH FROM MARSHAL MONCE7 TO HIS EXCEL. CELLENCY TUE DIINIATEtt AT WAIL. " Gerona, 4th SUIT, 1825. " MoNsEioNEun, 4 , A hundred and twenty men from the fort of Figueras surprised by a rapid sally the post at the Jonquiere gate, in the town. The Sub-Lieutenant Dumas, of the sth of the Line, sprung forward with twelve men, and recovered the position at the point of the bayonet, with three parts of the causeway which leads from the town to the fort. Two soldiers of the garrison were wounded, but we did not sustain any loss. "Two hours afterwards the garrison made another. sortie, in larger force ; a brisk firing ensued near the Jonquiere gate. General Maringone advanced with forty tirailleurs, when the enemy was vigorously re pulsed; he had four mel► killed and five or six -wounded. A soldier of the . sth infantry was killed, and five or six of the same regiment were wounded. " Lieutenant-General Baron de Damas praises in the highest terms the conduct of the Lieut. Dumas. " Baron d'Erolles has presented himself, with his troops, and the brigade of St. Priest, before Seo d'Urgel. Mina had previously quitted that place, leaving such troops as had escaped in the engage ments of the 14th and 15th of June, and replacing them with seven or eight hundred men of the garri son. Ile moved rapidly on Cervera and Tarragona; but has not entered Cardona, as was supposed. " Baron d'Erolles occupied the town of Us gel, and lapin before Seo, General Romagosa, with two Spa nish battalions and some companies cf the French, he marched on Cardona, which place he would invest with his troops on the 30th. " The brigade of St. Priest continues its march on Manresa. A dispatch which I have just received from Baron d'Erolles announces that he will confine himself to observing Cardona, and that he will after wards march on Tortosa. " On the 28th of June the garrison of Seo made another sortie, and was repulsed. Orders had been given to Lieutenant-Colonel d'lson to reinforce the blockade with the 3d battalion of the 2d regiment of the line. " Mina arrived in bad health at Tarragona. He left on the 26th for Barcelona; his head-quarters are established at Sans, about half a league to the left of the town. " The first battalion of the 60th arrived yesterday at Gerona. Two others, as well as the 16th Regi ment, will arrive in succession. " They continue their march in the direction of San Celoni and Cardeden. I leave Gerona to-day, and to-morrow shall establish my hea t l-quarters at %taro. " The troops are approaching Barcelona, and by the time your Excellency receives this letter, I hope that the blockade of that place will be lormed as close as possible, both by sea and land.

"I most heartily .

The Government have not answered amp of the letters to them by Sir lionsitr, during the time he has been here, or thOse which he wrote from England. " It will be well if the change takes place without bloodshed, which is at least doubtful ; not that I apprehend any danger from the. French or the new icuthorities; but there will be a short period between the change from old to new, when die prisent rulers and the military will have necessarily fled ; and the town will, during that period, be left to the indiscriminate vengeance of an enraged and lawless rabble, who may be easily instigated to desperate acts ; and who will, I expect, be exasperated with ,the English on account of thepart which Sir ROBERT WILSON has taken." By the Brazil Mail we have received dfile of Bahia Papers, the Idack d'Ouro to the 28th May. Up to that time nothing serious had taken place between the Bahia squadron and that of ltio. Thtee foreign vessels, with provisions, had entered the port• Pievious to their arrival the situation of the town had become very distressing, by the scarcity of articles of the first necessity. Oti the 3d of May the besiegers attacked on all points with their whole force, and fled after a heavy fire of two hour's duration: the garrison had some killed and wounded, and the loss of the besiegers is said to have been considerable. The Rio squadron could not be brought to a separate action : LORD COCHRANE had at ranged with LAB AVER, that the squadron should enter the port otithe day that the general attack was made on the lines, but this plan failed. Frankfort Papers to the 3d inst. received this morn ing, state that the corps of Austrian troops under the command of General Sxtrrruntuttsr, who evacuated the kingdom of the Two Sicilies in the spring, and have been cantoned for some months in the States of the Poet, and in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, have received orders to continue their march to the Get man provinces of the Austrian empire. • Quebec Papers arrived this morning to the 17th June, but they do not contain any intelligence of importance.
