' 81IN. MADRID. SEPIEMBER e. The greateNektisfactik p-. , 6ft-ils in Madrid at the success of thtPraich irrAtiking and taking the Tro cadoro. It was celebrated yesterday by Te Dena' being soarqr in all the churches, and a general illumination at night; and of so much importance is the acquisition of this considered, that in the minds of the Royalists it precludes all doubts of the final, if not the immediate, issue of the content. One consequence of it has already been the arrival of General Alava with a flag of truce at Port St. Mary's on the sth. He was accompanied back to Cadiz, in the afternoon by the Duke de Guiche. appointed to confer with the Constitutionalists. If the result of this negociation should not be a pacific ar rangement, it is supposed the Duke d'Angouleme will next direct his operations against the Caracca, the grand naval arsenal of Cadiz, and of great strength, previous to the attempt at cutting off the communication between the Isla and Cadiz, which is probably the utmost that military matters can be advanced this season. The troops in the rear, hos% ever, will find employment in the winter months with Malaga on the one hand, and Estremadura on the other. The Castle of Las Penas de San Pedro, in la I Mancha, deemed, from its inaccessibility, impregnable if properly defended, has surrendered under the capitulation of Ballasteros. From Catalonia we receive such very meagre ac counts, or none at all, that it is inferred the French have met with defeat, or that they have enough to do to , keep stationary. However soon or late the war may be terminated, there will still be an interminable and uncontroulable civil war of personality and selfishness among the Ab solutists, who of course already look upon the field as their own. By a Decree of the Cortes no one could enjoy a place of trust, or much salary, without his having given con vincing proofs of his being strongly addicted to the Constitutional system. As numbers who had. served under the.previous Government retained their places during the Constitution, and are now undergoing their purification, to enable them to hold them under the pre sent; and as in many cases very little opportunity was afforded of a public testimony of their adhesion, and so are now likely to get clean through, the Outs infer, that they must have belonged to one of the Secret Societies of Masons or Communeros, by which they enjoyed the protection of some of the Members of the Cot tes, or of their Ministers. And this is one of the objects for which rattle prisoners are so severely-scrutinized,Und nothing left undone to extort lists of their companions from those who have had the weakness to confess that they have " seen the light." This occupation of denuncia tion appertains to a large class of persons in Madrid, who, as the pure unspotted lovers of their King and their Isligion, cry out "No whitewashing, no apostacy." Those in the crucible are as anxious to ascertain their informers or denunciators, that they may exercise their vengeance upon them hereafter, and are not backward in enumerating their own long services, knowledge of business and fidelity, and attachment during all changes. A Government employ has always been looked upon and aspired to, as the certain means of making a for tune in Spain. Charles the Third, one time told an Italian follower, who had lone pestered limier a place, that he had nothing fit for him, all the vacancies being • beneath his notice. " Oh," said the man, " I don t care how small the salary, provided it is a Treasurer or Pay mastership." Bribes in the advancement of the claims and discounts when you have to receive, are the desirable objects that give birth to the lowest and basest intrigues, to obtain employment both in the Ultra-Royalist, the Ultra-Con stitutionalist, and their intermediate grades. This civil war has already commenced, and as the loss of the Ame rican Colonies reduces the Government so much in its income, both in money arid places, and as the decay of the commerce, and all other resources which accrued to the nation frdm their connexion, must naturally occa sion an increased number of Applicants, so is it likely to rap in full fury when the King shall return. fhe Friars, as it is their interest, endeavour to repre sent to the People the Freemasons, Communeros, Carbo nari, tltc. as enemies to the Catholic Religion, embracers of the new philosophy, and dangerous as well to the Church as to the State; and, therefore, besides being driven from all employments, an argument for the ex tirpation of these Societies, and the chastisement of the Members of them, will probably be raised in favour of the re-establishment of the Inquisition, for the preserva tion of the purity of the faith, and of the security of the Government. One of the Knights of Malta, the Baron de Riouffe de Thorene, has arrived to enter into negociations with the Regency, offering a body of 600 Knights, at their own expense, to aid in defence of the present holy cause, in favour of religion against the Constitutionalists ; and, nn doubt, one of the Balearic Islands will be stipulated for as the price of their services. at.ipttin, SEPTEMBER to. Although the Constitutional party has not found in the nation the necessary co-operation to consolidate its power, and triumph over its enemies; at the same time, it never calculated on finding so powerful an auxiliary in the folly of their adversaries, and in the discord which exists between the French and the troops of the Faith,. and which augments daily. The French Officers of the garrison of Madrid call those of the Faith by no other name than Canaille, and even disdain to salute them. The factious on their part are not content with exterior signs of this disagreement ; they act openly against their, allies in such a manner, that the lattewconsider them as enemies, against whose attacks they must always be on their guard. The following facts will prove what I have said :--250 men of the Faith, who were at Naval earner°, fire leagues from Madrid, disappeared all at once with then Officers, and have since re.appeared at a mountain, six leagues off, plundering the French con voys and intercepting their couriers. It was necessary to detach some Cuirassiers of the garrison of Madrid in pursuit of them. Yesterday a small detachment of French infantry entered the town, escorting about SO men of the Faith, fast bound. They came from Fuente del Sar, six leagues from Madrid, where they had been robbing every single Frenchman they met with ; seven teen French Cuirassiers were escorting a part of Chao lico's division disarmed, who, after the capitulation signed by that Chief, were going to a depot in order to be disbanded. On arriving, towards dusk, at Infantes, in the province of La Mancha, the Cuirassiers went to, their quarters, and the prisoners were distributed in two or three houses. s At midnight a Royalist detachment, of the band of Loeho, entered the village, and be in g informed of the , presence of the unarmed prisoners, fell on them, and unsparingly massacred them all. The cuirassiers came out to the defence of their prisoners, but they met with a vigorous resistance, and after a long contest, almost ,the whole of them lost their lives. I cannot express to yctu the indignation of the French garrison of Madrid, both soldiers and officers, when they heard of this affair. Cueirllas, General of the Cavalry bf the Army of the Faith, went away from here yesterday, with 300 horse, to reinforce Quesada's division, of which a third de serted before reaching Toledo. From Barcelona we learn that 2,500 French prisoners had arrived there, escorted by the national militia; they were taken on the 20th, 21st, and 22J. Several among them have asked to be enrolled in the foreign legion of Catalonia, which is already a respectable body, and is jegarded by Mina with great favour. Since the departure of the Duke of Angouleme, the Diplomatic Body exercises great influence over the Re gency. The journey of the Duke del Infantado into Andalusia, is the result of the energetic reclamations made on this subject by the Russian Ambassador, who informed the Regency that the Emperor would not be satisfied if Ferdinand had not at his side, on recovering his liberty, one of the faithful servants who have been the depositaries of his power during his captivity. The report is just got into circulation that General Ballasteros has been sent for to head-quarters, at Post St. Mary's, by the Duke of Angouleme. Letters from Seville say, that 19 gunboats, fitted apt by the F.rqnch at Huelva.and at Moguer, have gene So augment the fetes of thOkokstitotionalists. THE EVENING STAR,. LONDON. ~ .-~/.

We 'have received this forenoon, by Express, the Paris Journals of Sunday and Monday. Among the extracts which' we subjoin will be found some curious particulars respecting Ittacio's operations: FROM THE MONITEURGOFFICIAL PART ( " TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH. ge MARSHAL LAORIBTON TO THE MINISTER OF WAR* " Orcolea, September 14, 41 To-morrow morning the French troops will enter the town of Pampeluna. The citadel was taken posses sion of last night. ge The legitimate Municipality will also enter an hour afterwards, escorted by the French troops and two com panies of Spaniards." FROM ?MR ETOILZ. eg GRAND HEAD-QUARTERS, " Port Sainte Marie, September IS. The Major-General has arrived, preceded by the Duke d'Angouleme. The preparations are pursued with vigour at Rota, Port Sainte Marie, and Chiclana. It is positive they have spread reports at Cadiz that Bal lasteros had defeated the French, and that all that was said about his capitulating was false: they also report that the Empecinado had published a Proclamation, stating that the Duke d'Angouleme had caused himself to be named King of Spain; and that the militia have disarmed two regiments of the line in whom they could' place no confidence. Cannon have.been placed in the streets against the inhabitants, as we wrote you yester, day, and they were obliged to cause the King to appear, to calm the people." MADRID, BRPTILMBRR 17. The following is from Cobra, in the kingdom of Gra nada, of the 11th September: " Since the 24th August, the troops under Ballas teros are cantoned here, and at. Montilla, Lucena, and Priego. Riego, hoping to gain them over to the Revo- , lutionary cause, after having abandoned Malaga to the French, marched on these cantonments with from three to four thousand foot, and from• seven to eight hundred horse. Yesterday, about nine o'clock in the morning, he appeared at Priego, in front of Ballasteros, who was in a defensive position on the road to Granida : while the division of General Ignace Balanzat occupied the right of Calvaire Priego. gi Immediately the fire of the tiraillenrs commenced, and Riego demanded a suspension of arms. Ballasteros' accepted an interview, and it was agreed that both par ties should keep their positions. All appeared as if ar ranged, when the escort of Riego fell, unperceived, on that of Ballasteros and disarmed them, and held the General as prisoner in the house in which he was at Priego with Riego. General Balanzat, informed of the treason, harangued his troops, and immediately made dispositions to act against Riego, and the corps which are here are marching on the same point; we expect to , hear of a battle. 66 P.S.—At the critical moment, the French, com manded by General Bonnemain, appeared and attacked the corps of Riego, and put them completely to the rout." 'Quiroga, it is said, who landed at Gibraltar, has suc-, ceeded in getting into Cadiz. The Empecinado, whose band has been reduced to 900 men, has dared to summon Placentia on the 10th. and demanded a contribution of sixty milreas. If not complied with, he threatened that he would reduce the town to ashes. Letters from Madrid, of the 17th of Sqatemberi..l6.- nounce that Riego, who wished to save himself, with ,three officeri, after the destruction of his troops, has ,been arrested by the peasants of Carolina. The Moniteur of the 22d of September, contains a long Bulletin, signed Guilleminot, giving an account from Molitor, Commander•in•Chief of the second corps, of the affair at Malaga, and his different dispositions to destroy the enemy, while General Loverdo marched on Riego. Then follows the Articles of the Capitulation of Pampeluna, thirteen in number. PARIS, SEPTEMBER 22. General Bourcke is expected at Madrid. his said he will replace Reggio. The Marquis Talaru has set off for Port Sainte Marie. FROM TEM PILOTS. " Two diffeient reports were spread on 'Change; one assured us that RIEGO had got into Cadiz—the other to the contrary, and that that General was made prisoner in the mountains of Ronda. The first report seems to be the most credited, because it agrees with what has been said in the foreign Journals. The rentes have ex. perienced a decline, owing, perhaps, to the opinion that we will not treat with the Cortes." FROM Till PILOTS 011 Yp.:3TERDAY. /WORT OF LIEUTENANT-OZNIRAL ROTTENBOORG TO. THE MINISTER 01 WAR.-EXTRACT. PERPIGNAN, SEPTEMBER 17. By my last report, Unformed your Excellency of the' dispositions I had made to succour the troops of the ninth division of the fourth amps. Having learned for certain that the enemy, who made a feint to march on Urgel, had gone for Figueras, I immediately gave orders to General Arnauld to join General Damas, to rein force the blockade of Figueras. After a sharp action on the 15th, at Llardo, which terminated on the 16th, at Llers, all the remains of the -enemy's column, of nearly 2000 men, which disem barked in the nights of the 9th and 10th, between Ma son and Mongat, coming from Barcelona, surrendered to General Damas. This brilliant affair does honour to General Dann*, whose troops were inferior to those of the enemy. /ROM THE JOURNAL DU DEBATE. PORT ST. MARY, SEPT.II. We have heard nothing of General Alava since his return to Cadiz, where the confusion is extreme, some wishing to capitulate, others to resist. It is asserted that Rear-Admiral Duperre, who comes to replace Rear -1 Admiral Mamelin, will be here between the 16th • and 20th, and that the Duke of Angoulerne will delay the attack until the arrival of the Admiral, who is said to be a hardy, enterprising, and excellent seaman. Our soldiers are dissatisfied with this delay ; they would swim over the isle in order to put an end to the revolu tionists ; but, on the other hand, onr fleet, which is wait-, ing for some small vessels, is not sorry for the delay.-21 The confidence in the Prii limo is boundless, and the result of the attack is ,not doubtful when it shall once be commenced. PARIS, SEPTEMBER so. We have received by express some very satisfactory details respecting the disease at Passages. Most of the persons attacked are cured; a few only have perished, and it is remarked that more than five days have passed since the first appearance of the disease. On the 17th, there were only 27 persons sick, of *horn two seemed mortally affected. PROM THI CONSTITIITIONNIL. BAYONNE, S] San Sebastian is in a dreadful state. The garAson is without provisions, and the soldiers search through the town in •ein to endeavour to obtaid them. The in habitants are, like the military, deprived of all support. If this state of things should last long, and the Gover nor will not surrender to the French, famine will de stroy the whole population. Nothing can enter the town either by sea or land.

There seems but too much reason to Fear that it is really the yellow fever, though several . agents of Government have endeavoured to persuade Oa that it is a typhus or hospital fever, which will not extend its ravages beyond the spot where it originated. How. Over, a respectable cordon has been formed in part by' the troops of our garrison, and we may hope that the Awarder which is at Passage, will not be communicated —only one thing is to be feared, and that is, that as the spaCe of six weeks has been suffered to elapse before the adoption of mifisures of precaution, time may have been given to the contagion to spread, for we know that all tht population of Passage has quitted it, with the exception of some hundred individuals, who are too poor or too sick to think of seeking their safety by flight. The Lazaretto of Behobie is going to be re-established, and another forined beyond the Bidassoa. We have no official news, and the consequence is as usual, the circulation of numberless unauthenticated re ports, inconsistent with each other, some quite absurd, and others evidently false. . Thus we are told that the Spanish General Loverdo, has entered Malaga; that Ballasteros has defeated gene ral Molitor, who was nearly made prisoner; that Lopez Banos has entered Toledo with a respectable force; that a mutinrhas broken out in the garrison of Cadiz, and that one regiment had made itself master of the King's person; that the fort of Puntales has been blown up by the Governor, who was bribed to perform this ser vice, Accounts that ale more worthy of credit, being derived from letters of a recent date, .frofp..Bart St.. , , T.l ;WI ,tf•7e VW . iso/OC 4 1 .*t • .ret nuf odrtf .111. , .41 - Marie, say, the story of the bl tales has no other fouqdatioi some fascines, which were use some advanced batteries; and confined to partial quarrels be have returned from the Trocade the garrison of Cadiz.
