Paris papers to the 13th instant, have brought intelli gence, as we yesterday an icipated, of very great impor tance. " The rumours," says the Etoile of Wednesday, " that have been afloat for some days have visibly affect ed public credit. To-day a great fall having been an nounced, the Minister of Finance had thought it incum bent upon him to send, at the opening of the Exchange, the following news to the Agent of the Exchange:— " According to a Report from Marshal Moncey, received , last night, the Constitutional forces of Milenrand of Llo bera have retired upon ilostalrich. Mina has given our troops the slip by re-ascending the Ter, by Besora, with thit intention of approaching Ike frontier. On the 7th be wall at Volfsgona, in the direction of Campredon. "The Count Curial was on the same day near Olot. The Baron d'Eroles followed Mina, within a day's march, by Besot*. Romagosa was in position at Ripon. Thus Mina will find himself surronnded by forces very superior to his owe, end if he 11 pressed, as there is reason to expect he will be obliged to fight. or he must throw himself into Cer decree, by different defiles, and without resources. The Collet Curial was to follow him without delay, in concert wi h d*Eroles and Romagoza." Besides the above communication front M. de Villele to the Paris Stock Exchange, the Mouiteur contains the subsequent TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCH. " Paris, May rt. " The following despatch has been received to-day:— " ?kr hAJOIt• . TO HIS ZICELLINCT THC MIIIISTZI OIP THE INTERIOR. " Aceording to the report of Marshal Moncey, dated the Bth. General d'Eroles and Montages' are in pursuit of Mi na, in the direction of Campredon. The Constitutional Di visions of Milan/ and Llobera have retired upon Hostalrich. Marshal Moncey, who is at Gerona, occupies Santa Colorna, and pushes his reconnoissances up to the very walls of Mandela. General Donadieu entered Vich on the Bth brit. ; his troops were received with acclamations by the in habitants." . Notwithstanding tile gloss that is thus put on the at'• fair, it is evident that the retreat, or, as it was scoffing ly teethed flight of Mina, tarns out to be a skilful ma- 1 rTevre, which it is admitted has completely deceived his opponents, an.! has enabled him to throw himself into their rear and to march straight towards France! By this hold movement the character of the contest in Catalonia is entirely changed. Not only are the invaders checked in their progress, but forced to has ten back with all the speed they can to overtake the Spa rish commander before he reach their frontier. He is a day's march in advance of their nearest division (Erole's) and. if he wry! so disposed he might transfer the seat of war to the French territory, as there is no opposing force in his way, whilst Guerilla parties are al ready acting on the rear of his enemy. It is probable, however, that his object is rather to interrupt the French communications, than to enter the French territory. By pssessing himself of the mountain passes in the rear and on the right sank of his opponents, he may cut off their intercourse with France, and with the Duke d'An gou'eme's army, wl.ilat the divisions of Milans and Llo bers posted at Hostalrich, or supported by Barcelona' would check their advance. But, whatever be his aim' it is evident that his daring movement had excited alarm ir. Paris; end, though to tranquillise the loyal inhabitants, the Journal des Debuts had seconded the effort of the Vnister of Finance, by representing the enterprise of Mina as the result of " the mano'urres of the F Tisch Generals which had divided bis army in two," it is like. ly that in their pretended attempt to entrap him, they will find they have caught a Tartar. FRENCH FUNDS.—MAY 13.—Five per cent.. opened fgf. 25c. ; highest BSf.; closed BSf. 900. ; Bank Stock, 1530.—Neapolitan Five per Cents. 7G.—Exchange' on London--One month, 25f. 75c.; three ditto, 25f. 55c. Since the above was composed, Paris papers and let ters of Wednesday evening have arrived by express. — The following are their chief contents : . Accounts from Perpignan of the Gth of May state, ac• cording to a private letter, that since Marshal Moncey's head quarters have been moved to Gerona, that is since the 3d, the communications between his army and the French frOntier were interrupted. This is a conse quence however, rot of the movements of Moncey, bot, as we had suggested in the preceding article, of the movements of Mins. The Fends at Paris loatervt on the Exchan4e on Wednesday. The Duke d'Angonleme had just drawn at sight, on the treasury, for the sum of eight millions, in one bill. This me thod of geeing funds at Head-quarters was never before used, and is likely to be very embarrassing. M. Manuel, we are sorry to ancounce is seriously indisposed—not out of danger. Bayonne papers of the Bth inst, have also reached us this morning, which though they contain no intelli gence respecting Mina of a more recent date than that communicated in the Peels journals, throw light on what bad, previously arrived. The following are extracts from these pipers:— We have no official accounts to enable us to form an opinion of the state of affair, in Spain, but a courier is said to have arrived with despatches for the Prince, from Marshal hi oucey. This courier affirms that Mina, with the 14.000 men, of which Isis army now consists, is entirely surrounded by the French army upon a moun tain, the name of which he had forgotten. We are, how ever, not inclined here to think this account quite cor- THE • pTATESMAI Feet ; for we cannot imagine that so skilful a General and active a partisan as Mina, would suffer himself to he surrounded, #nd caught as in. a trap, by an army which cannot bedouble the force he is supposed to have with him, even it the army opposed to him were all collected for the purpose# which is surely not the case.—Nor can we think that Mina, even if he were in the situation stated, would be absolutely obliged to fight a battle. " Travellers now arrive very frequently from ail parts of Spain occupied by our troops; they confirm what we already know, that we meet with no kind of assistance ; but they also say, that almost the whole population, esp. cielly that part of it which is able to bear arms, his Bed at onr approach, and we find no enemy to combat• These people must have gone some where, and it cannot be presumed that their intentions are favourable to us; so that if these statements may be relied on, the words of the Spanish Minister may he realised—" that the war will not really begin till the French are at hi:Arid." " A great number of horses for the artillery have arrived here, and mules for the baggage continue also to pass through, but the number required is so very great, that we are far from being able seriously to commence the sieges of St. Sebastian and Pampalune. Ten waggons heavily loaded with money arrived here yesterday for the use of the army. They see said to contain twenty millions in ready money, which. if we may depend on the calculation of persons who understand th;!se matters, will not suffice for theexpenees of one month. A person pi...tends to have seen, the night before last, four waggons pass through full of sick or wounded." STOCK Excitation, 12 o'CLocz.—Consols opened this morning at 79k, with little business doing. An Express last night brought the Fretach prices of Wednesday 88-10. A report prevails that Parliament will break up early in June, to enable his Majesty to take a sea voyage. 'We have no reports from Paris. Consols remain steady at the price mentioned above. FOREIGN MARarr.—Spanish Bonds opened at 384, and lowered to 331, with a heavy market. Few of the Hebrew persuasion attended at the above Market this morning, owing to it being their holiday. Chili. 081.—New Spanish, 331.—New Prussia, 82 to 63. Old Prussia, 83 to 94.—Russia, 74—Colombia, csei to 87. Norfolk papers arrived this morning to the 17th of April, from which we extract the following : FROM Paau.—A Porto uere Government schooner, eight days from Maranhao) arrived at Peru 10th Febru ary, bringing accounts that a force under an independ ent commander had taken the Town of Oxerios with the Caffres, containing 600,000 milreas. By the arriva of the Bella Eliza at Maranhao), from Ceara, we learn that that place had declared in favour of Rio, and forces had arrived there from the interior. The English brig Columbian, was taken tip at Para, and salted for Marane ham with 140 troops, all Europeans. Philadelphia Papers to the 20th of April have elm ar rived, from which we extract the following:—Letters from Pernambuco state that in the latter part of Febru ary, the people of that place refused any longer to sub mit to the Emperor, and demanded a change of Govern ment similar to that of the United States. Captain Huntington, who left Monte Video, February 1, passed the Blockading Scradron, (Brazelian). off the Harbour, Gen. Eche was still besieging with 5000 troops that city, and all communication with the interior *as cut off. CAPTURE OF A BRITISH Gun-Bato SIT PIRATES.—We learn from Captain Hamilton, in 11 days from Havanna, that a few days previous to his sailing, a British Brig of 11'sr fell in with a piratical schooner off Cape Antonio, of 8 guns and 190 men. The crew of the schooner boarded the brig,armed with knives,and took possession of her,after kill ing 11 men and driving the whole of theßritish crew below. A British Frigate, soon after, came up and recaptured her. —The pirates got cleft off to their own vessel and made their escape. THE limo.—The enquiries at Carlton Palace this morning were very numerous, and the state of his Ma jesty's heath, excites very general concern. The following is the answer to general enquiries . His Majesty passed a. better night last night, is much freer from fever this morning, and approaches a state of convalescence." Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, a Cabinet Coun cil was held at ,the Foreign Office in Downing-street, which was attended by all the Cabinet Ministers. The Cabinet broke up at half-past 4 o'clock. By (cconnts received this morning at Lloyd's, we learn that his Majesty's ship Jupiter, with Lord Amherst and suit, arrived at Santa Cruz, (Teneriffe) on the 7th u1t., 1 from Madeira, where she remained 14 days. Lady Am-, herst, the Lion. I.'aptain and Misi Amherst crossed the country, to visit the Valley of Oratava, on their return loi Santa Cruz • Miss Amherst was thrown from her horse, and her fore head: and nose severely cut ; their own physi cian bring fortunately near, immediately dressed her wounds ; they afterwards embarked and set sail on their voyage. His Lordship is much improved in his general health, and nearly recovered from the kick he received from a horse, at - Madeira. Extract of a letter received in Edinburgh, from a gen. tleman belonging to the West India squadron : " Since my last, we have not been very actively employ. ed, and have now joined the squadron of Commodore Owes. We have just returned from reconnoitering the French squa dron r.t Martinique.. They consist of one ship of the line, five frigates, slut live large corvettes. They all appear to be in excellent order. We have been to La Guayra, Porto Cabel!o, St. Thomas's, and Antique; at the second place the Spaniards are literally starving; although still holding out; they live entirely upon segars and sour ale, from the Governor down to the meanest soldier, and their affairs are carried on with all the indolence Imaginable. Morales, their only hope, had been defeated. On the other band, the Pa triots are getting stronger, end receiving ships (rem England and America every day ; however, as yet, they are mere privateers." Accounts from Alcoi, dcted the 23d ult. give a state ment of the raising the seige of Valencia by the malcon tents. who were induced to withdraw by the approach of 13000 men, who had assembled at Venues, and who were to act in owed with another body of 2000 foot and 300 horse, who were in Alcira. It is added, that on the walls of Valencia a black flag had been hoisted, and a skull stuck on a pole; implying that the inhabitants would conquer or die. A letter lions Toulon states the loss of La Levrette, of that port, on her voyage from thence to 'rangier with presents. The vessel aas wrecked off Mahon, and the crew, with exception of thirteen who perished, were tabs to the house of the Freech Consul, who, however, ea b irked them again as speedily as possible, in consequeoe of the Constitetioual authorities appearing disposed to detain them prisoners. ConN-NlkattliT, MAY 18.—There is a good supply of Oats this week, chiefly from Ireland, but of other kinds of grain, the arrivals are small, and therefore they obtain rather bet ter prii.es than on Monday. Barley is rather dearer. Beans and Peas also advance a little. Oats still sell well, and ob tain Is. per qr. more than the prices quoted last Monday. S I OTHYIELD-MARKET MAY 10.—The supply at market this morning was fully Sufficient for the demand. At the ear lier part of the morning, a higher price was asked fur Oxen and Sheep; but towards the close of the market, the prices were as on last Monday.

OLD BAILEY.—(Tara iloautwa.) Before Mr. Justice BAILEY and Mr.,Baron Rilliarx Phippe,siged 63, and Matthew Cokell, aged 21, were put to the Bar, ou an indictment, charging them with the commission of an unnatural offence, but in con sequence of the absence of a material witness, the trial *as postponed for a short time. defore Mr. Justice BATLEY. • John Wilford and Charley Nibbee, who were yester day capi•allyconvicted of burglary, were this morning again placed at the Bar, on an indictment charging them with burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling house, of Wm. Colthurst, 21, Stafford-street, Pimlico, and stealing a great quantity of wearing apparel, a feather I bed, and other articles his property. After witnesses bad been beard, Mr. Justice Bailey anm imed up with his usual perspicuity, and the Jury after some Ideliberation, found Wiliford guilty— Death —aud acquitted I Nibbes. Before Mr. Baron Hoxsoca. MANILAtienTER.—Jokn Lake was Indicted, upon the Co roner% Verdict, for killing and slaying Norman ki'Leod ; and William Butler, for aiding and abetting bins in the BMOC Stephen White, a surgeon, residing in Lamb's Conduit street, was sent for on Thursday, the 9th of May, about scion in the evening, to the Cross Keys public.house, Theo bald's-road, to bleed a man who was in the passage, in the arms of three or four persons. He found the man very black in the face, and he ordered him to be put to bed. Witness bled him in the arm, from whe'nee he obtained shout two ounces of blood and he than bled him in the jugular vein, which yielded about 111 ounces. Soon after this he ceased to breathe and he then left him. He was quite dead.—He survived about lOnsinates after witness's arrival. On the following day about S o'clock he opened the head ; there was no appearance of disease, but a very large quantity of ext ed blood under the darn matcr,which was no doubt occasioned by the rupture of a vessel, from some violence. Vessels have bees known to give way from excess of passion. Witness thought the rupture was caused by external violence; the face was much bruised and disco loured as Uremia blows. The deceased was a young mac of very plethoric habit of body, but in the judgment of witness, death was occasioned bji the blows he had received on the head and neck, although strong excitement of mind, and great bodily exertion would occasion death. William Barrett is a journeyman baker, and lives in the service of Mr. Bridges, in Ration Well; knew the de ceased, saw him in Copenhagen fields on Thursday week last, about 6in the evening. The prisoners were also there. Saw Lake the previous Tuesday who told him that he was going to fight the deceased, but would rather decline it. Witness was present at the commencement of the fight which lasted about 18 minutes, when deceased was carried off the ground by sonic men who were pre sent, to the Cross-keys. Witness went to see deceased about 9 the same evening and found him dead. The head of deceased appeared swollen and discoloured; there were no marks of violence on his body. The prisoner, Butler, acted as second to deceased, and assisted him to rise, when knocked down, and placed him on the knee of another man. They fought for four sovereigns, and witness held the money by request of Like. Witness believed that deceased and Butler bad been fellow ser vants, and heard Butler, on the Tuesday preceding the fight, endeavouring to prevail on deceased not to fight. Thomas Reynolds keeps the Bedford Head public house, in Upper King-street; had frequently seem de ceased, at his house. He saw deceased and 'Lake top ther a little after ten at night on the Saturday preceding the fight. A singing club was held at witness's house; Lake was Chairman. A disturbance was created in the room by some of the company, and deceased said that Lake was a very improper person to act as chairman, as he did not exert himself to keep order. The disturb ance appearing not likely to terminate, he got rid of the whole party as quickly as he could. On the Tuesday following, deceased came to his house and challenged Lake to tight, and offered to deposit two sovereigns as stake money. Lake expressed himself unwilling to ter minate their dispute in that way, but in cossequence of deceased having used some provoking language, Lake produced his hatch and said lie would meet him on the Thursday following. Witness advised them to have something to drink and be friends, but deceased refused to do so, end the day was accordingly fixed upon. Edward Rogers, carried the challenge by desire of deceased, and delivered it to Lake, at the Bedford Head, who observed that he had no wish to fight, but if deceased hesitated in his determination he would meet him. Two other witnesses were called, who proved that the prisoner Butler bad several times during the tight endeavour ed to prevail on the deceased to discontinue fight•ng, but de ceased said he would rather die in the field than give up the contest. A great number of very respectable witness es gave both Prisoners excellent characters for human ity and general good conduct. Mr. Baron HULLOCK summed up, and the Jury found both the prisoners Guilty, but recommended them to mercy. CATHOLIC MICHTTNO, 01181.1,1.-130 Tuesday last a Meeting of Catholic Gentlemen was held at No. 4, Capel-street, (Lord Killeen in the Chair) for the psi rpose of forming the Deputation to present the Address to his Majesty, pursuant to a resolution entered into at the Ag gregate Meetin g , held in Townsend-street Chapel,on Sa turday, and for the purpose of forming a Committee, to make such arrangements as might be (teemed necessary, relative to the Catholic Association. It was resolved that the Deputation consist of the Right Hon. the Earl of Fingal', attended by the Catholic Peers, sons of Peers, Baronets, sons of Baronets, and several Gentlemen. It was also moved and carried, that a Committee of eleven, together with the Chairman and Secretary, should lie ap pointed for the purpose of forming resolutions for the Association, and that such Committee should report to an adjourned Meeting, to be held on Thursday, the 2!J instant. The Address referred to, reached us yesterday, hut the extensive pressure of matter obliges us to postpone its in sertion. The miseries of Ireland and the necessity of Ca tholic Emancipation are dwelt upon in strong language, and the conduct of the party opposed to the Catholics in Ire land is spoken of in a similar spirit. The Address is said to be the production of Mr. Wolfe. CATHOLIC A RCHRHIHOP OP DeoLIN.—DOCIOr John Thomas Troy, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, died at his residence in Cavendish-row, on Sa turday evening, after an illness of some weeks.

BALLINASLOR FAlR. —This great fair, which tortk place on the 7th inst., has damped the late hopes of a re turn to high prices. There was a large show of cattle in fine condition, but few buyers; a number of dry cows left the fair unsold. Heiler% that a few years ago semi! have brought 161.. there were no buyers for, even at 81.-- Many persons could eot get the tame price fur their cows (after high feeding for the last nine monks.) that they gave for them. The fair of Olkien's-britlge, on Thursday, exhibited a miserable prospect for farmers. Mikh cows very lox, ani strippers from 40s. to 50s. each. Time fair of Ulonmel on Monday a•as most discos raging: in fact no kind of stock nu in demand. The May fair of Athlone took place on Top.sby se'nnight. There was but a scanty display of t attle ; for feeding, and mulch cows, were in requ:st, and mat off at fair prices. On Tuesday. died at his seat in Worcesters'.ire. the Right Hon.
