in the heights behind Jaen, in the direction of Mancha 'Real ; but soon the 4th Light Regiment, and the 2d bat talion of the Ist of the line, advancing at the pa: de .Urge, carried this position. The enemy occupied a sew one, with part of his infantry, and all his cavalry. General Bonnemains advanced against it the 19th Chas seurs, supporteeby the 4th, and flanked by the Ist and by the 4th . Light Regiment, and the battalion of the 10th of the line. Colonel Choisseul, at the head of the 19th, executed a brilliant charge, traversed the infantry, and overthrew the cavalry, which he threw into com plete disofder. From that moment the enemy was driven from position to position, rspee dad: le: reins, beyond Mancha Real, where our troops entered at eleven o'clock at ni "ht, after fourteen hour s fi ghting. " Riego, when he arrived at Jaen, had still about 2,500 men. The day of tb 13th cost him 500 killed, wounded, and prisoners ; and it is probable that his co- lumn would have been destroyed, if an the infantry of General Bonnemains could have come up. " This General Officer, who has given on this occasion fresh proofs of hi; talents, and of his indefatigable ac tivity, announces that he was perfectly seconded by Major-General Buchet and Levavasseur. (Commenda tions of other officers, and of the troops.) 6' On quitting Mancha Real, Riego had taken the di rection of lodar, intending, without doubt, to try whe ther he could be more fortunate with the part of the army of General Ballasteros cantoned about Übeda, or attempt at least to reach the Sierra Morena, or the mountains of Sacra, by which he might have taken the way to Carthagena, but Lientenant-Gen. Foissac Latour had taken measures to disappoint those several projects. " Already, on the 13th, he had sent Colonel d'Argout with three squadrons of chasseurs, and three companies of infantry of the Royal Guard, toward Bejixar, to continue on the 14th his movement on lodar; and, by a forced march, he had repaired himself, with the dra goons, and five other companies of the 2d regiment of the Guard, to Baeza, in order to check the enemy, in , case he should have passed lodar, before the arrival of Colonel d'Argout. " The village of lodar, by its position, appeared to be necessarily a decisive point for him who should first occupy it. Colonel d'Argout, therefore, leaving his in fantry behind, made all speed to reach it ; but when be arrived on the Ilth, at noon, Riego had reached it an hour before, with about 1500 foot, and .500 horse. Co lonel d'Argout skilfully took advantage of the sur prise which his sudden appearance caused, and, without suffering himself to be delayed Mr the fire of the posts, he made his regiment proceed along one of the exterior sides of the village, to advance with rapidity to the other extremity, _where the enemy's infantry. had formed two squares, between the roads of Quesada and Capra : one of these squares was charged and broken by the fin st squadron, and supported by the second, im mediately advanced upon the cavalry, which was at tacked with the same vigour, and put to flight. During this time tine other square had succeeded in gaining the mountains against which loan in a manner leans, arid where thz men who composed it dispersed, flying in all directions, s bile Colonel d'Argout caused the enemy's cavalry to be bri,kly pursued by the rest °finis troops. " This daring enterprise, which has completed the destruction of a corps composed of the Revolutionists 'who were the most implicated and the most determined, has cost the enemy 613 prisoners, amor.g whom are one General, six Colonels, and 67 Officers ; 60 killed and ounded, among whom are several Officers ; besides hich we took one pair of colours, four chests of money, and almo,t all the baggage. On our side two chasseurs were killed, and abo!st twenty wounded, but only four dangerbusly. We had twenty horses killed, but they were almrst all immediately replaced by those we had taken. Colonel d'Argout conducted This operation with the greatest vigour. lle highly praises his Lieut.. General M. Chatea u briand. (Praise of several officers and privatet , .) "Alter this brilliant affair, nearly 100 officers, among whom are four of Ricgo's Aides-de.Camp, and above 200 horsemen, presented themselves to General Caron. delet, commanding the troops of General Ballasteros, at Übeda ; and Itiego himself, abandoned by his men, and in disguise, having sought an asylum, in a low farm near Argutilos, was attested there on the 15th, with two Colonels and a Captain, by the inhabitants of that place, and conducted to the prison of La Caroline.

PARIS, SEPTEMBER 28. The Constitutionalists give the following account of their late short and sanguinary enterprise in Catalonia " The troops consisted of the Ist and 2d battalions of Catalonia, the battalion of the Constitution, the foreign battalion, and a squadron of lancers. In the I st batta lion were all the soldiers who had left the hospital, and <lli not belong to the garrison of Barcelona. The fo. reign battalion was formed of French and riedmontese, , and' other Italian refugees, and the squadron of lancers was almost wholly foreigners. " They landed on the 10th between Montgat and Masnor, with the exception of the lancers, of whom only this ty-two weie landed, the weather having changed and the wind become contrary. It was commanded by Don Fernandez, Constitutional Governor of Cardona. Each soldier had four packets of cartridges, and there Isere 2,000 cartridges in reserve. In this state they be gan their march for Upper Catalonia, passing by Mon melo, Sanseloni, Roda, Moullen, and Olot. On the 15th, at two o'clock in the afternoon, they met the French troops, occupying the village of Llada and the neigh bouthood. The French troops left their positions and retreated towards Llers. The Constitutionalists say they made some prisoners, among whom arc some Officers. " On the 16th they moved towards Llers, and after several successive combats carried off many of them s‘ ith the bayonet. They reached opposite the village exhausted with hunger and fatigue: the soldiers had eaten nothing the whole day. Here, having exhausted their ammunition, and being surrounded, they surren dered to .Genet al Damas. It was agreed that the lives of the French who fought in their ranks should be spared, and that all the Officers should keep their swords.' li bat - loss • lonsider given up to the Regency as a civil prisoner, and he has red to the prisons of Madrid."

" On the 21st, his Majesty's galliot the Momas, form ing part of the blockading squadron on the/coasts of Catalonia, captured the St ; Antoine, entering Barcelona from Tarrigona with seventeen passengers, among whom was a Captain of Infantry, and a Lieutenant of Engineers. as At the same time, the frigate Marie Theresa per ceiving four Spanish armed vessels quitting Barcelona, approached to prevent their returning to the port but the frigate was becalmed, and while it was exposed to the fire of all the batteries on the coast, the Spanish armed brigs escaped. The galliots La Gazette, L'Etoile, and Momus, joined the frigate in answering the fire of the batteries, which did no damage." FROM THE ETOILr " GRAND HEAD-QUARTERS, SEPTEMI3EII 21. " The arrival of Vice Admiral Duperre has perfectly seconded the intentions of his Royal Highness. Yes terday Vice-Admiral Rotours laid the Centaure, in which he was, alongside Fort Santi Petri, attacking it in the angle. He was seconded by the Trident and a frigate ; but these two ships could not participate long in the action, because the current was too strong, and their anchors could not find good ground ; they could, therefore, only take a positioo at nearly the end of the combat. The Centaure sustained nearly the whole of the duty. In the course of two hours and a quarter, the fort of Santi Petri was assailed by three thousand balls from our ships, while the land battery fired a thousand. The enemy, frightened, hoisted three white standards, and surrendered. We have taken from 150 to 200 men, forming the garrison of that fort ; and have lost one artil'eryman, killed in the laud battery, and three killed in our ships, which have not received any damage. The balls from the fort passed over the rigging. The Vice-Admiral has not yet sent his writ ten report, but during the night, a Lieutenant of the Trident arrived, who had been sent by Baron Rotours, and he has given a ter bal account to the Duke of An gouleme of what had passed up- to the moment the troops were disembarked to occupy Santi Petri. The possession of this fort opens to us the door to the Isle of Leon, and prevents all arrivals to Cadiz : it was by this roai that Riego got out and Quiroga entered Cadiz. This conquest, besides, gives us the means to enter the I4and of I.eoa and to ptotect the debarkations. " We are aiisn' tea, ill* .41 ggqm ent this fort was taken ' the inhabitants of :the island threw themselves into Cadiz. We have erected batteries which will soon silence the enemy's firing, and protect the debarkation. From this fort we can with facility reduce Torregorda, and intercept all communications with Cadiz and the Isle of Leon. "A fl) ing bridge, thrown half-way over the river from St. Pierre, permits a free passage to the Lie of Leon. All the windows in the houses of Ssinte Marie hive been decorated with flags, shields, &c. and Te AIM sung. His Royal Highness has given the necessary orders, that Riego should be given up to the Spanish antho. cities and delivered over to justice, (or tried by the law), I guarantee the truth of thi," MADRID, SEPTEMBER The Regency of Spain has placed at the disposal of the Duke of Angouleme several Spanish decorations, for the brave of his army. 'MADRID, SEPTEMBER 24. Our letters from Port St. Mary of the 20th state, that the confusion and tenor which reign in Cadiz, causes the Constitutionalists in one day to take two different measures. The Junta forming the defence, do not know where to get men or money. On the 18th, at night, they closed the port and pressed the sailors in the Eng lish style. The sailors resisted, and a number of the Militia base paid dear for the Constitutional cause. As for money, independent of the forced loan of eight mil lions of Teals, which has been extorted from the mer- Arants, a nave royal ordonnance has been issued (for all is exacted in the name of the unhappy Ferdinand), de- Manding of the merchants and proprietors to furnish 12000 thousand ma's (500,000 francs), every five days, for the service of the troops. This has caused the in habitants to emigrate to Gibraltar, or to the ports occu pied by the French. The little flotilla of the Cortes is commanded by Dio nisio Capaz. Valdez has fallen into disgrace. Quiroga cannot obtain any employ from the Cortes, and lie is playing a part to assemble in the streets of Cadiz diffe rent bands of vagabonds, which he calls the Sacred Bat talion of Tragalistas. They have thrown into prison in Murcia, sixty Officers (Spanish) of the corps of Riego• accused of belonging to the army of Ballasteros, and having violated their oaths. The Royalist volunteers of the little town of Mula, assisted by the peasants, sun-minded in a wood 600 foot in the interior the people are more strongly in favour of the Constitution than in Catalonia. ' On the 10th, at the same time that the disembarkation took place, and that they were fighting along the whole line at Barcelona, Milan: attacked our troops in the plain of Tarragona. As yet we have no details of this affair, The following extract is from the Journal des Delude. CHICLA NA, SEPT. is. Rear-Admiral Baron Duperre, who sailed from Brest on the Bth inst. cn board the Hermione frigate, arrived before Cadiz on the 17th. Learning that a division, consisting of the Colossi, the Centaure, the Trident, and several frigates, were gene to the southward to attack the fort of Sand Petri, he proceeded immediately, with out communicating with the shore, to that quarter, in order to take part in the action. Note.—A telegraphic dispatch has announced, that this action did, in fact, take place, and that on the 20th we took the fort, which, from its position, is very important. TH E EVENING STAR. LONDON.

(Signed) " AL DEL CASTELLO." EXPRESSES FROM PARIS. The French Papers of Sunday reached us last night, and this morning we received those of Monday, with the Filotc ofyesterday, as also a private letter from our Corre spondent, by express. In a preceding page we have given a dispatch from GUILLEMINOT, relating to the often told, and a , owl. true a tale" of the capture of Rim; a triumph helwe which the fall of the Trocarlero and St. Petri shrink into insignificance. It appears, that the Duc d'Awoouwic has given up RIEGo, to what is called the Civil Power, that is to the wilder mercies of the Regency, who will gloat over his death with a fury worthy the savages of New Zealand. It will be a sirgular outrage on the laws of humanity and nations, if an officer holding a commission, and deriving his authority from the KING of SPAIN, whose power de facto and dcjure has never been questioned by any party, should be sacrificed by a body who have usurped the name of a Regency, but who have been disowned by the Ktwo himself. Hitherto the conduct of the Duc d'ANcoutmaa has been judicious and mo derate, and we should be sorry to see it stained by such a crime as the death of Iltrzo. St. Sebastian has capi tulated ; but as we are still without details, we are not able to judge whether it was capable of longer resistance. Tke Drapeau Blanc states, that 111 arsh3l Lau - norm on his entrance into Pampeluna, caused 150 of the in habitants to be arrested. The following is from our private Correspondent.
