XV. AFFAIRS IN SPAIN. FRONTIER/ 07 SPAIN. Dee. 2.—Torrijos has begun his operations ou this point ; the bonds in this neighbourhood are not in a condition to resist him, less however by their numbers than by the destitu tution in which they are, and the discouragement which springs from it. O'Donnell is in Navarre, with 400 men, Santos Ladron and other chiefs hardly recognise his autho rity. According to a convention concluded between Gen. d'Autichanap and Gen. O'Donnell, the latter is bound to send back into France all military de serters, who pass over to the Army of the Faith. General d'Autichamp, it is said, has authorised O'Donnell to assure such deserters of full pardon, provided they return forthwith. Adviecs from Portugal state, that the province of Braga has spontaneously revolted against the consti tutional authorities, and that numbers have rallied under the insurrectionary standard. This revolt , may very possibly change the disposition of that count , — towards Spain; but its more immediate ef fect will be to free the Spanish royalists in Gallicia frorr an • fears of the Portuguese troops, who must shor ly b.: marched to another quarter. C.iief Beasieres, Colonel of the Army of the Faith, nominated by Baron d'Erolles, Governor Commandant of Mequinensa, has arrived in that fortress, whieh is well provided, and will long hold out against the constitutionalists. Velasco is .harged to lay siege to it, but lie is ill prepared to fulfil his instructions. PERPIGNAN. DEC. ta.—lt is Armed that the Regency rested last night at Prades, and that it will arrive here to-morrow. Seventy horses, fur re-mounting the artillery, have arrived to-day. A letter from Bayonne, dated the sth inst. states, Military stores continue to arrive here. Two large boats, from Monte de Marsan, bringing, amongst other things, barrels of lint and old linen, tOr surgical dressings, came in yesterday.. We know not what to think of these preparations, when must of our public journals speak of peace." General Mina has entered Puycerda with of his army, amounting to 6,000; ?lumber of Spanish refugees, soldiers, priests ; monks, and in habitants of Catalonia, whom thw•march of Mina has forced towards the sources ut;the Legre, is said to be live thousand. The Soldiers of the Faith abandoned Puycerda, after a short resistance. The troops of Mina have posted themselves on the right bank of the Ur, which separates France frotn bpain at Bourg Madame—our troops ate on the left bank. The constitutional troops piled their arms, and after having reposed tor some time, they then defiled over the bridge of Llivia in the best order told appearance. Mina was himself at Llivia, and after leaving a detachment there, returned to Puy coda. _ _ The greatest tranquillity prevails in Cerdagne. Spanish t. Certlagne is wholly constitutional, not one of its inhabitants is in the Army of the: Faith. On the approach of Mina all the youths went to join hint. Lieut.-Gen. Curial arrives to-morrow ; horses are gone to carry him Six thousand rations of bread have been sent from Perpignan for llle, where the first column of the Army of the Faith was to arrive to-day; to-morrow us many rations will be scut to Thuir, where the column will then be. Many monks and priests constantly arrive. A committee is fOrlllea to give them assistance ; it is said that each ecclesiastic receives 50 francs per month, and SO cents per league to those who are scut to the interior. . . DEC. 4 —Tile advanced guard of Mina arriving in the environs of l'oycertla, 25 of his cavalry put to the rout the whole Army of the Faith ; some de t4chtnents dispersed through the Spanish territory lipt up an irregular and ill sustained tire um the .141 , titutionalists. During this time Ciciteral Moat %lute to Gen. Curial, announcing his intention of icsrecting, and causing the French territory to be re:pLeted by his troops; but if the tekLs took refuge MONDAY. DECEMBEK 16, 1822. there, and fired on his troops, it might be possible he could not restrain them. Gen. Curial replied, that his instructions and orders were precise, and that he would not permit any armed corps to pene trate into the French territory. The rebels, how ever, forced by the constitutionalists, passed the Ur, and took positions in the environs of Bourg-madame --a corporal with four men advanced to summons them to lay down their arms; some of the factious replied by a discharge of musketry, which killed one of our men. The factious, however, were disarmed by our troops, who bloke their muskets. Mina then repaired to Llivia by the open road, and made his army defile in the presence of the French troops. The advanced guard consisted of a small corps of cavalry, then two field pieces, then came the infantry, at the head of,which was Mina on foot. This troop marched in the'greatest order land most profound silence. Macao, Dac. 2.—ln the provinces of Alava, Biscay, and Guipuscoa, people no longer speak of bands of more than 100 men. A few factious wan der in the mountains, living by pillage; those who command them promise them instant succour from abroad. With such promises a tew peasants are still kept under the banners of the Army of the Faith. Merino, after being defeated at Aranda, where he made his appearance with 300 foot and 60 horse, has been defeated at Rosa, in the environs of Burgos. This chief, who cannot make head against troops sent against him, seeks compensation by ravaging the country ; he takes away the young men, horses and arms by force; and every body who resists, or will not support him, is unpityingly massacred. The ecclesiastics who refuse to imitate hint are .in parti cular the objects of his hatred and fury. The vi;. tuous curate of Mazuelo, among others, was assas sinated by him. Coubellas, the father and chief of a band, still commits robberies in the prov ; .,ree of St. Antler. The conspiracy formed at Gibraltar had for its chief object to destr,,, th e const i tut i ona l s y s t e m in the province C a d z , which was its cradle; it ne cessarily :ailed. I ..ne Curate d'Atanasio Garcia, late chaplain at the cathedral of Toledo, afterwards chief of a baud, has just been executtxl. Iu La Mancha, a band of smugglers has been taken, and among them the assassin of the brave Landaburu has been discovered. The Duke de l'lntantado, who had embarked for England, and was forced by stress of weather into a port in Galicia, is being conducted, frt.m brigade to brigade, to Madrid, where a prison awaits him.

Betty and Doughty, tire unhappily among the number of the sufferers. At the time this dreadful catastrophe occurred, the Yeoman was in sight of the Myrntidois—and from the violence of the tornado in which she was upset, any assistance was totally impossible; indeed, we understand the first intimation Captain Leeke, had of the fact. was from the boat of the Yeoman, which he picked up tour days afterwards at sea, with seven seamen, who had miraculously saved themselves from the wreck. When the examination which is now being taken by the Commodore, is completed, we have the painful duty of publishing further particu lars respecting this truly heart-rending event." Extract of a letter, dated Madrid, Dec 2:— " Our late Political Chief, San Martin, is to be set at liberty this day, and the process against hint will be carried on before the Supreme tribunal. That against the officers us:used of baying participated in the affitir of the 7th of July, has b..en intrusted to the superintendence of an officer of the regiment et' Uuadalartra, who had already, it is said, discovered great irregularities in the proceedings, as tar :a they had gone, of Yarcdes,his predecessor. The obnoxious numbers of the Turriaga have haen Lana in several places by different companies ut the militia, uho pear generally to be animated by the best spirit. Volitical doctrines of a viuient nature can never take deep root in Spain, however hir a short petted harm may arise from their circulation among the lower orders, but at the present moment they are peculiarly to bc deprecated. Madrid is perfectly tranquil, and our internal ailairs wear every day a better aspect ; even in Catalonia and the provinces, the state ut the pubhc mind has u: a vtry sensible amelioration.'
