This forenoon we received the Moniteur of Sun day, and the Pitote and Etoile of yesterday, with a private letter from our Correspondent. The Papers contain a telegraphic dispatch, which announces the important fact that the French have taken the fort of the Trocadero. The following are extracts: FROM THE MONITEUROPFICIAL PART. " TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH. " TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH TRANSMITTED PROM BAYONNE. " Head-quarters, St. Marie, August 31. " THE MAJOR•GENERAL TO THE MINISTER AT WAR. ig At three-quarters of an hour past two o'clock the Trocadero was carried with the greatest vigour, under the eyes of his Royal Highness Monseigneur the Duc d'Angouleme. The enemy had 150 Men killed, and 250 wounded ; we have made 900 prisoners, and taken mere than 50 pieces of cannon in the batteries." ARMY OF TEM PYRENNEES. REPORT OP THE MAJOR GENERAL TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. “ PUERTO SANTA MARIE, AUGUST 28. 14 MONSEIGNEUR—His Royal Highness charges me to state to your Excellency, that by the conclusion of the Convention with Genet al Ballasteros, Gene ral Andsese Quaguirde, Constitutional Commander of the fort of Penas de San Pedro, situated near the great communication from Madrid to Murcia, Valen cia, and the provinces of Chinchilla, Cuenca, Guada laxara, and Ciudad Real, has given in his submission, as well as the troops under his command. The orders of General Ballasteros have not had the same result, at Carthagena ; and at Alicant it was impossible for the Officers with the flag of truce to gain admission. «A Colonel of the Army of l3allasteros,the famous Barrena, wished to foment an insurrection, owing to the Convention. Ballasteros headed his troops ;no one disobeyed; mad Barrena was obliged to take to flight. Two other superior Officers have also left the army. This army has gone into its new cantonments. " General Molitor has ordered General Bonne mains, who was at Boza, to, set off for Malaga, and on his route by Almeira, to scour the coast; at the same time, he is going to push General Loverdo from Gre nada on Malaga, where the remainder of the corps of Zayas remains ; and, it is said, he has embarked, and, has been replaced by Itiego, who is animating the public spirit, but. he has yet produced little effect. Not one of the Office: s of the Staff Of Zayas would serve under his orders, and have demanded of General Molitor to admit them to make their submission. " General Vincent, who is still in Murcia, obsery ling the garrisons of Alicant and Carthagena, set out on the 16th of this month, in pursuit of Torrijos, who left Catthagena, with 500 men, for Totaua, on the line of operations between Murcia and Lorca. The inhabitants of Totana, at the approach of our troops, took up arms, and drove away Torrijos, causing .him considerable loss. ge We continue with great activity the prepara tions against Cadiz : all means are employed to aug ment the flotilla to forty-two gun-boats, ten bombs , and six °busier:, during which time they are busily employed in making the necessary reeonnoissances for the future operations. " Admiral Hamelin, owing to his bad state of health, which no longer permits him to command the squadron, has been succeeded by Admiral des Rotours.—l am, Scc. ' "The Major-Gen. Count GUIL LE MINOT.° FROM THE PILOTE OF 'YESTERDAY. PARTS, SEPTEMBER 8. For several days past they speak of Moral°, and seve ral persons suspect his intentions, and believe that he has not subinitted with a good will to the Regency ; but we do not credit this report. The Count de Cartha gena with a good faith acknowledged the Regency ; he was also sincere when he joined in the conspiracy of the Guards, on the 7th of July ; and he was always on the side of the strongest party. . Badajos has provisions for a year, and a garrison of 6,000 men. Ciudad Rodrigo is determined to defend itself. The Captain General of Castille can do nothing with 2,000 soldiers of the Army of the Faith, against the guerillas commanded by the Cure Bareo, Valdeara, Martin, Barco, and the Empecinado: from Gua darrama to Cebrero not a Frenchman is to be found. FROM TUB ITOILI OF YESTIRDAY. PARIS, SEPTEMBER 8. _ Letters from Cadiz, Tarifa, and Rota, assure:that the Cortes have rejected the French propositions, wbo state they have the affairs of Naples and Portugal still in mind, and without the mediation of England they will not come into any arrangement. The same letters announce as positive, that on the 18th and 19th ult. 60 vessels laden with provisions and two millions of piasters, coming from America, entered the port of Cadiz ; no symptom of malady has manifested itself. It is calculated, that in Cadiz there are 25 thousand militia (perm:mite), and a fine corps of 4,800 men well armed and equipped. MADRID, SEPTEMBER 2. The movement of General Bourcke to cut off the retreat of the Constitutional troops coming from Orense, has been attended with great success. The enemy has sent a flag of truce with proposi tions. Government has received newt from Cadiz of the 27th August. The King and Royal Family were in good health. The King took an airing; a vast concourse of persons went out to see him, and the acclamations were general with Vive le Rol! without the epithete of Constitution. General Valdes, alarmed at these transports of joy, advanced his trpops against the multitude, but no accident hap pened, except the death of a boy. -General Bonne main has marched on Malaga to drive away Riego, and it is repotted that this famous revolutionist has saved himself by going to Africa. " REPORT Or MARsHAL THE DUKE OF CORNECLIANO TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE MINISTER OF WAR. " Torredembarra, August 50. 66 MONSEIGNIUR—Wishing to ascertain correctly the nature of the obstacles which opposed the block ade of Tarragona, round which the enemy occupies several strong positions, I decided on a general reconnoissance. " The affair which had taken place at Altafulla did not alter my arrangements, and the troops marched on the 28th. 1 directed the movement of those on Valles in person, and General Berge com manded the troops which marched from Altafulla. " The hour of marching was so fixed that all the troops might reach the points assigned to them at the same time. 4 , The brigade of Tromelin, consisting of the 16th and 60th regiments of the line, a squadron of the 6th hussars, and another of the 18th chasseurs, and two field-pieces, marched en Mount Olivo. " Ten companies of the Bth of the line, with two field-pieces, and the troops of the Royal Spanish di vision, marched under the orders of Baron d'Eroles, towards MaJona de Lerito. " General Berge proceeded in the same direction, with the brigade of Achard, consisting of the 18th of the line, and the Ist light infantry. " General Montgarde marched from Altafulla by the great road, with ten companies of the 31st.of the line, two battalions of the 3d, commanded by Gene ral Fautin des OJoarte, the Gth regiment of mounted chasseurs, and two pieces of cannon. " A cannonier of the enemy fired a few shots on this column, but he was soon silenced by the dis charge of our artillery. The position of Maduna de Lerito was occupied by the enemy; and at nine o'clock in the morning had ordered it to be attacked. The company of vol tigeurs of the Ist light infantry, and the advanced guard of Baron d'Erolei approached it first by two different points, and were supported by the Ist light infantry, led by its Colonel, Baron Revel, when they pursued the enemy. This regiment carried succes sively two breastworks, which the enemy had occu pied with considerable force—the one between the sea and Lorito, the other between the latter point and Tarragona. " The ten companies of the Bth regiment of the line assisted in the second attack. General-Fleury; Commander-in-Chief of the Engineers, and General Deprez, Chief.of the Staff, marched at their head, with the Colonel of the Bth. " The troops were neither arrested by the fire from the garrison, by the steepness of the declivities they had to descend, nor by the rocks they had to climb over. During this attack two companies of volti- 1 geurs of the itoyal Spanish troops, and one battalion of the 16th of the Line, which I .had dispatched to move on the flanks and rear of the enemy, hastened his retreat. The brigade of Tromelin, with some Spanish and French, expelled the enemy from the fort of Mount Olivo, notwithstanding they were ex posed to a brisk fire from the town and the fort. " On all the points our columns approached, from the ramparts to the gates, they maintained their po sition, until the , object of the reconnoissance was fully attained. Between three and four o'clock I ordered the re treat, which was conducted with as much order as the attack. The enemy attempted to disturb the brigades of Tromelin and Achard, but he was briskly repulsed, and cured of pursuing us by an ambuscade formed by a Colonel of the Ist infantry. In the evening the troops returned to their respec tive positions. Our loss has been 17 men killed and 86 wounded. It is certain that the enemy, in the af fairs of the 27th and 28th. has had 100 killed and more than 500 woimded.—l have the honour, &c. Marshal Due de Corutgliano, MONCEY." TOLOSA, AUGUST 20. For the last three weeks we have seen nothing piss through here but pieces, of artillery, cannon balls, bomb shells, and obuses. The siege of Pampeluna will be 'terrible. It is said the firing will only take place during the night, and will be incessantly kept up till morning. The besieged have had. the boldness to declare that they will receive no more flags of truce. They are in no want of provisions, having enough for a year. Nothing new from the blockade of Santona. The Trappist is still at Vittoria. - FROM THE JOURNAL DE TOULOUSE, SEPT. 1. PUYCERDA, AUGUST 27. From what we hear from La Seu, the Governor Vigo is not disposed to surrender. Yesterday, at two o'clock in the morning, the batteries recommenced firing, and the shells fell so thick upon the town that several houses have been injured. It is announced that 200 men of the division of Santos Ladron have arrived there; they were expected for some days back. PARIS, SEPTEMBER 7. A letter from Targa, dated the 25th ult. written by an Officer attached to the Staff of Baron d'Eroles, states, that the Constitutional Army commanded by Milans and Lloberas, has retired towards Tarragona. The same letter states, that Anton Eroles, who was in the environs of Pons, and had manifested a design of moving towards Seu, had been assailed by the po pulation, who had taken arms and forced him to re turn towards Lerida, which place he entered. AX, AUGUST 29. The news of Baron d'Eroles having arrived at Seu• d'Urgel is not confirmed, but we know for certain, that our ti oops . have again defeated the Constitution alists in the Segarra ; that three times they were charged with the bayonet, and defeated with great loss. When they passed from Salsona they ate raw potatoes with as much eagerness as the most delicious good. Baron d'Eroles constantly pursues them; and in older to lose no time he did not enter Salsona, but took a shorter road. • GIBRALTAR, AUGUST 6. We are enabled to judge of the progress of the French in the Peninsula by the number of refugees who, flying before them, come to Gibraltar, either for the purpose of embarking to some other place or as an asylum. Now that the denouement approaches, the recent defeat of the revolutionary troops leaves the true enemies of Spain without resources and without hopes ; the number of French refugees, enemies of their King and country, has become much increased. During the last few days we have seen here Cap- tains Nantil, Coussin, Tezier, all three accomplices of Genci al Berton. General Lallemand has followed them, and is said to have embarked• for Africa.= There are several other refugees with false names. They are only permitted to remain one, two, three, or four days, at the utmost, at Gibraltar, when they are obliged to seek their safety by flight as well as they can. FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT. " PA WA, SUNDAY AI gi The Moniteur will inform you that the French troops have taken the Trocadere, a narrow tongue of land which stretches out towards Cadiz from Puerto Real, and has one or two strong forts; but the Meni teur does not state at what expense this point has been purchased. Report says that more than 1500 French soldiers fell in storming it, which shews the resistance must have been considerable. a The Ministerial Papers are all writing splendid eulogies on French bravery for to-morrow, and we shall, no doubt, be told that Cadiz must fall since the Trocadero has been taken ; but military men think Otherwise; and it is known that during the last Penin sular war the Trocadero was taken and retaken more than once; though Cadiz never fell. " All accounts agree that Cadiz is well provi sioned ; and sensible men are of opinion that the Cortes, in refusing the tams of the Duke d'Angou leme, were not actuated solely by obstinacy, but by a well•grounded belief that Cadiz can defend itself." The following intelligence reached us this morning BAYONNE, AUGUST 31, The letters from Madrid of the 26th, contain, first, an answer from the Regency relative to the various applications which have been made to it by the owners of estates sold by order of the Cones. Those proprietors claimed, besides the estates themselves, the standing crops—it has been decided that those belong to the new possessors, but that when they are get off the ground the old proprietors resume all their rights : 2d, a long Royal Decree, the object of which is the reestablishment of all seignorial privileges; this Decree is dated 1814, with some alterations made by the Regency, co adapt it to the present cir. cumstances. It has not yet produced any effect. The independent corps of Chaleco and Sellez have just submitted, we hear. They are not to be called to an account for their political opinions. There is a report that all the Generals of the corps of . Bourdeseulle have been discharged. All the troops that can be spared from Madrid have received orders to proceed, by forced marches, to Andalusia. A company of hulans of the 7th is I ordered to Cadiz in ten days. General Quesada, with his corps, is among those that go to Andalusia. The recaptured vessel, which wq mentioned before, entered our port yesterday. It is said to have on board several of the Officers who were at the passage. of the Bidassoa. We have seen one whose right an is amputated. Sixty thousand sacks, to be filled wit earth, were sent yesterday and this morning to b employed in the siege of Pampeluna. MADRID, AUGUST 25. We have been fbr these three days in a state ( much anxiety, notwithstanding the efforts of the at dimities ; at one time we were told of the approacl ing conclUsion of the negociations, of the capitulatia of Corunna, of the defeat of Milans and Lloberas, a which excites the ardour of the partisans of the Paid while the Liberals on their side do not fail to public bulletins and reports of an alarming nature; some times that the Prince is retiring with his army ;corn times that Lopez Banos, with five or 6000 men, approaching the capital ; then again, that the am in Catalonia has gained great advantages over tl French. We fear the Prince has been disappoints at the Cortes refusing to treat, it having been ye generally expected that they would consent to tre as soon as his Royal Highness was on the spot. Son people talk of his having expressed some displease at not finding the preparations to attack Cadiz in more forward state. It is certain thal the blocks has been much more strict since the 18th, and tl no vessel, no matter of what nation, is suffered enter under any pretext whatever. To enforce t blockade still more effectually, some ships ()f war WI expected from the Mediterranean and from Coruni General Molitor had not quitted his position the kingdom of Grenada on the 20th, though presence before Cadiz would he so desiral4e; and tl perhaps, has given rise to a teport that the subm sion of Ballasteros was only a suspension of arr and that it is possible he may recommence hostiliti Zayas still occupied Malaga and the positions Ronda and Monbella : his guerillas sometimes sh, themselves near Ecija. The right of the Guadaiquiver infested by C stitutional guerillas, whose point d'appui is Badaj That place also sends out parties into the provinces Madrid, and which keep up a communication w Ciudad Rodrigo. The uneasiness excited by th circumstances is heightened by reports that LI Banos is at Talavera with 6,000 men, and threat the capital. Castel dos Rios and Amos have shewn then.sel at Aranjuez and the Pardo. These alarms have bs realized by the junction of Morino with the Frer and the taking of Corunna. The Duke of Reggio has sent orders to Gene Bourcke, to detach immediately 3,000 men to Es madura, by way of Almaraz. The warfare in C; lonia is excessively harassing to our troops, and it n be long before we are masters of that province, the enemy not only has a considerable force in field, but is in possession of some very strong 1 tresses, for besides Barcelona, Tarragona is in a midable state of defence, and Montblanch is now very well fortified ; the three Biscayan provinces Navarre, or rather the whole left bank of the Ebro, fr Santander to Saragossa, is the part of the kingd where the French have the firmest footing. The habitants remain quiet spectators of the contest, which they find their advantage. St. Sebastian provisions for the month of September only; S tona is better supplied. Pampeluna, which is riously bombarded, defends itself well. There 7,000 men before that place, the sick and worm are sent to Tolosa and Ernani, to be forwarded France. The three provinces and Navarre have r tested against every arrangement with the Con which overthrew their privileges. There is a report that the Duke of Reggio is go to make a sortie with part of our garrison, but as has here only about 8000 men at his disposal he c not go far. The Regency has given orders narros to watch all foreigners residing in this capital, es cially the English. The total amount of the force of the French an in Spain, including the fourth corps, was on the 1. of this month— Infantry Cavalry - 66,160 - 9,200 Total The sick and wounded are stated to be 9140. 75,160 'ln another part of our Paper we have given a I ter from Mr. Owax, the amiable philanthropist New Lanark, respecting some charges made agai his establishment by a Minister of the Presbyu The Letter will be read with interest, even by di who may differ with Mr. OWEN as to the meant reforming Society.
