" Port St. Mary, Sept. 15. " Mr Lonn—His Royal Ilightwss orders me, to transmit to your Excellency the additional ‘ietails given by General Molitor, in his letter of the Nth instant; dated eleven o'clock at night, !ivith respect to what passed at . Priego, when . Riezo approached that place. " General gallasteros really wished to repulse anti engage Riego ; it was himself ht person, ho, in the midst of thetirailleurs, commenced the firing which caused the death'of an'Aide-de. Camp of Riego, as well as of several of his sal- A demi ! battalion of the latter imme -iately advanced with the cry of ' Long live 11111asterost' That General and his troops fully expected that their adversaries were coming to ;gin them. " An arrangement was talked of ; they were ,ot•Priego ; and when the question of condhicws "tirose, Riego offered to serve as a simple Aide 4-Camp to General Ballasteros, if the latter 'would take the chief command, and march rgaiost us. Upon this being refused, Riego, who, during -the conference had caused the ha- Ititation of General Ballasteros In be invested by I , jsAroops,„dechired him a prisoner, with all his setoff. General Balanzat, who contrived to °scope, rt:loined his division, when he summoned liicro to set General Ballasteros al liberty and io •: retire himself. Ringo, perceiving that id gchemii had failed, put himself in match with his troops for Alcandete. Sarkis the account which tips been given to Count Molitor, by the officers of his stall who were on the spot, and by two Plides . -de-Comp of General Ballasteros, who went to Grenada. " Count Molitor adds, that C eneral Ballasteros, 0 0 this necosinn, did ell that was in his power, esiv,teially with troops, many regiments of who'll told one battalion on his side, and another iti Itiego's carps. Not a single officer, nor a single 1;ol;!ler of Ballasteron , ' went over to Itiego; but t o tie. l'uttt4'S squadrons; on the contrary, joined liellasteros, who, isnmediately put him. in communication with Gen. Bonnemain, who :T;zviiig arrived on the 10th with five battalions udi thrf . e, regiments rif iuttairy at Pines Puente, continued, on the . 11 lb,. his advance upon A Icala Real, and announced on the . 12th, in the morn ing, that he was about to pursue the enemy with the most sanguine expectation of overtaking and destroying him. On the other side, General foissac-Latour, informed of all that bud taken place, concentrated his troops in front of Andujar, and would act in concert with General Bonnemain. •" According to the report 'of General Ballas . terns, Riego had not with him more than about i,500 men, in estate of disorder and insurrection, whose numbers are constantly diminishing by desertion, and who are unable to escape from an active pursuit. " General Bonnemain, in giving an account of these events, states, that General Ballasteros conducted himself with loyalty, and displayed great firmness:---I remain, &c. (Signed) " Major-Oeneral Count GUILLEMINOT." PARIS, SEPT. 25.—At the taking of the Tro.. c.adero, a young soldier seeing the Duked'Angou leme too much exposed, gently pulled the skirt of his coat, saying, " My Prince! my Prince I" Hold your ,tongue," said an old grenadier to who guessed what, he was about to say to the Duke," do you not know, that if the Prince hears you, he- will only advance further ?" occupied with the orders which he was giving, his Royal Highness paid not the . slightest attention to the balls which rained around him, nor to the brief colloquy which our readers will thank ,us for having communicated. The Memorial Dordelais (a paper published at Bourdeaux) says—" The Madrid Journals do rmt notice the rumour which has been circu lated that the Ambassadors of the Great Powers were summoned to Port St. Mary ; therefore we bound to infer, either that they have not been sent, or that they .have refused to proceed thither. In fact, how, is it to be believed, that the Ainbaisadors can remove frOm the seat of the Regency, to whom they are accredited by their .Soereigns, during the captiVity of the King, un l'ss they receive new instructions ?—These are only absurd assertions on the part of persons who 'to see the Potentates of Europe humble thethselves se far as' to treat with a band of rebels.—We use this language because the liberaux have,spread the report that the Ambas sadors are on the point of setting off to subscribe tO- aXonstitutional transaction with the King's gF.olers." MA nitro, SEPT. attention is almoit exclusively fixed upon }Liege and Eallasteros. Private letters agree in confirming the statement that the troops of the farrier have reinforced, with five or six thousand rnen the corps -of the tatter, whom nothing has been able to induce to depart from their constitutional duty since the cuhvention concluded by their Generat. - These too divisions are estimated at nearly 20,000 men, who are determined to operate according as dr.' curnstances May hold out to them the best chances of :success. Every one relates this occurrence after his own manner; but the most, carious tic zotint, both in point of style' and of the degree. of probability belonging to it, is unquestionably the following one circulated by authority : " CADRA, SEPT. IL—Since the 24th of last month, we have had in this city, as well as at Montilla, Luceno, and Priego, the troops of the Convention of Ballasteros, who are animated with the most enthusiastic Constitutional feelings ; it was this that induced Riego to march front Malaga with about 4,000 in fantry and 1,000 cavalry, for the inn -pose of coming in contact with them. Well, then ; yesterday, about nine o'clock in the morning, Riego presented himself with hi; troops in column in the suburbs of Priego, in front of those of Ballasteros, who were in battle array on the Grenada road. The division of General Balanzat was on the right of the place called the Cal vaire de Priego ; the Tirailleurs began to fire, when Riego de manded a parley ; Ballasteros consented ; the Generals having met, as well as the troops, Ballasteros required that both the one and the other should keep their respective positions. The . two Generals then came into Priego, lodged, ate, and drank together, and, as liallasteros would not consent to let his troops go, while these Generals were at supper, the escort of Riego attacked that of Ballasteros, disarmed it, and made the latter a prisoner in a Cabaret of the same house. Balanzat, informed of this circumstance, harangued his troops, and was preparing to act against Jtiego, who; in consequence, ordered the Com missary at this place to:.send to lznajar the rations for his division." BAYONNE INTELLIGENCE. BAYONN SEPT.2O. - -1 he disorder at Passage, according to letters received from the frontiers, which ap peared to be abated for t wo days, when no person was attacked, had. again manifested itself more terribly than ever, suddenly seizing several persons who thought themselves secure. We are now informed that Mr. Andonard did not go:to the spot as we before said, but only approached the Cordon, and a re quest has been forwarded - by Paris by telegraph for three Phy sicians for this dangerous service. The same fetters say, that overtures - have been made for the surrender, not only of San tana (the cOndlitional` capitulation of which we .mentioned be fore) but even of St. Sebastian, they being discouraged by the fall of Pampchtna.--All the garrir,on of our city marched - Away yesterday to go and Meet the prisoners from Pampelune who arc coming to France by St. Jean Pied de Port. When the fad regiment, in which there were many volunteers, were ordered to cross the frontiers, ecvml of the latter, it is said,, were dis contented, and it is even added that 80111 C refused to!go out of France: Our City, which is absolutely without troops, has been.obliged to close its gates, and the Mayor haatens,.as much aapossibfe, the organization of the National Guard, which, we understand, will begin to do duty the day after to. morrow. The Magiitrates of this City have forbidden the actor, Li gier, to continuo his performances, because the plays in which he has hitherto acted gave occasion to improper allusions • he has performed Ituralet, Othel(o. and Coriolanus. We have here strange news about .11iego and ltallasteros, and the capture of the former, of which we do not know what to think. _ _ An express, which arrived yesterday from Cadiz, states that at the time of his departure a heavy cannonade was heard in the direction of ,the Isle of Leon, where our troops had effected a landing. Letters from before Cadii of the 10th gave a kind of narra tive of what passed in that city on the 7th and ftth. There were seditious groups assembled of soldiers mingled among the mob, wlio cried out that it was necessary to capitu late, as it was not possible to make a defence. General Valdez it is added, had the soldiers arrested, who said they had acted by the direction of their officers ; money distributed among the people had done the rest. Orders were immediately given not to suffer any vessel to enter or leave the port. The instigators to the tumults were arrested , to the number of eighteen; among them were a General, the Colonels of the regiments of Almanaz and Ira Princessa, and two Members of the Carnavilla ; they were tried and shot. After this execution the soldiers ran about the streets, cry ing, " The Constitution or Death," and went even under the windows of the King, whom they insulted, saying, that he was the first cause - of the trerson. Their assembling about the Palace might have been alarming, had not the militia of Ma. drid and Cadiz surrounded it to protect it. A few musket shots fired ii prtipos on the most riotous, sufficed to restore order. On the thlt tr. - op:ral Alava was sent to the Duke of Angouleme, to say that all proposals would be hencetbrward ' useless ; and he communicated to him the list of the persons who had been executed after the di.covery of the conspiracy.— On this communication front General Abut, the attack on the Isle of Leon was resolved upon. such is the statement,given in the letters. As usual, we have numerous flying reports, many of which are in want cf confirmation, and others are evi dently false • of the latter _description is' the capitulation of Cadiz, • which would make much }nine noise if it were true: among the former, ate ..a. defestaustained , by Quesada, near Torre Mocha, whose army being divided into two parts. by Ithe Tagus,-Could not unite; and,. it is said to have entirely dis . petsed, after sustaining considerable loss. The garrison of Alicant is said to have made a sally with much success in which the Royalist General Sempere was dangerously wounded. The garrison of Ptunpelatta is reported to have begun to pillage the town before the '2,000 French entered it. THE ARMY. War Office, Sept. 23, lin3. 9th Regiment of Light - Dragoons—Thomas John Fitz.

We have received by Express the Pilo(e of yesterday, and the Et oile and illoniteurof Satur day. The latest news from the French head. quarters, however, is the Telegraphic Dispatch given in our pieceding columns and Which ; we are sorry to say, announces the capture of the fort of Santi Petri. From the intelligence now received by our Express, we see that the Extraordinary Cortes assembled on the 6th inst. and that they were informed by the King's Speech, and by GAT.I.Iso, that the Government had failed in its endeavours to obtain an honourable peace, and that it had even been disappointed in its hope of obtaining ,the mediation of England. The latter disappointment, we suppose, must have . been owing to - the determination of the Fiench not to accept any thing short of the unconditional" sorrendc:r et the Spanish Constitution. The dispatch of, Major-Genera I Count Gtrat.e.stiNot places the fact of IttEao: having been taken prisoner beyond doubt ; but the, previous af fairs w tell to that. event, and paiticularly th e rea l gjinaliptl of BA LLASTEROS and his arms, are still enveloped in the same impenetrable mystery.

Monseigneur is gone to pass the day at San Lucar, where the preparations for 'the landing are under the direction of General Bourmont, w h o h a s a great reputation in the army for his abilities and courage. The Rear. Admiral Duperro arrived yesterday at two o'clock. Having been informed of the or ders of attack given by the Prince to the ,fleet, he did not ,stop at San Lucar,.but proceeded to the squadron, of which he immediately took the command. No idea con be imagined of the impatience of , the Officers and soldiers, who are waiting to con). hat t h e enem y. The enlightened Spaniards do not doubt that Cadiz will in a short time be in OUT power. MAnnin, SEPT. 22.—A1l the letters which ar rive from Port St.lgary, announce that all is ready to stiike a decisive blow. They write from Car , • dona„ that the Royal Spanish Carabineers have set oil from WWII- to conduct' the traitor Riego, who, under a French escort, was transferred froini Carolina to Andujar, to be delivered over to the Spanibh Authorities.

Three columns of the enemy, in number 6000 infantry and 100 horse, with 10 pieces of cannon, came from Barcelona on the 12th September. at half-past five o'clock in the morning, marching against the left of the line of investment. The first column followed the sea side ; the second marched on Olot ; and the third on that part of the line between Gracia and Casa Donna. The third column, much more considerable than the two others, directed its principal efforts against la. Casa. Nova, la Cala Milans, and la Casa Donna. General Peccadeux immediately ordered the reserve to march. The enemy, attacked by these troops, and by the fire of our artillery. were forced to retreat. We lost one officer, one soldier was killed end 17 wounded. According to reports, the enemy had 200 kilted. (Signed) MONCEY. The Opposition Jourmds have all produced a pretended correspondence between Marshal the Duke of Reggio and the Regency. This corre spondence is apocryphal.

MY Lora—His Royal Highness charges me to announce to your Excellency, that the Civil Intendant of Carolina renders account, under date of the 15th, at night•, that• Riego was made prisoner, with three of his Officers, by the inha bitants .of the Commune of Arguilos, and taken to the prison of Carolina. There is every reason to believe that this Chief, who was overtaken on the 13th ►►t Jaen, by Gen. Bonnemains,and pursued sword in hand, to Monetra Real, where our troops arrived on the same day at _eleven o'clock at night, had on the following day a new affair, which destroyed his corps, or that he was abandoned by his troops. I shall have the honour to send to your Excellency 'the details, which no doubt will come soon to hand. The loss of Riego on the day of . the 13th was about .500. men, killed and wounded, with prisoners. GUILLEMINOT. The Extraordinary Cortes were installed on the Bth at, Cadiz.

PARIS; SEPT. 25.—For some days past a pre• tended project of a Constitution to be given to Spain has been circulated at Paris. A copy hes fallen into our hands, and we give it without vouching for its authenticity : COVSTITUTIONAL ACT OF SPAIN. TITLE 1.--Of Religion. Art. I.

The King shall have around his sacred person, a kinis. try, and a Council of State, charged with the different branches of the Government, and responiible for their Councils and Ad ministration. • • • - TITLE 111.-Of the Supreme - .Councilo f Castile and the Indies. Art. 1. The Supreme Couneil of Castile . and the Indies shall be the depositary and the guarantee of the present Constitution. It shall be composed, Ist, of the infants of Spain who have at tained their eighteenth year ; 2d, Of twenty Grandees of Spain, one half Archbishops or Bishops, and the other moiety, of the high - Nobility ; 3d, Of twenty.four Members selected from among the Counsellors of State, and the Captains-General of the Land and Naval Forces, the Ambassadors, die Lawyers, or Rectors of Universities, and Citizens who have deserved well of their country. 2.

The Cortes . shall lodge their complaints against the con duct of Ministers, their denunciations or accusations of offences against the safety of the State Or of the • King, before the ties court of Justice for Investigation. The following important statement has been pnbliShed by the Spanish Constitutional Govern ment, and has been received with Cadiz Papers to the 3d of September. Our Renders will see that it was full time that England should resolve on sending out Consuls to the South American States,—a measure which in fact amounts to a re cognition of their independence. .We much fear, that if the French succeed in their Un►principled invasion of Spain, more decisive and momentors steps on the part of Great Britain will soon be found necessary for the assertion of her rights and the maintenance of her interests. It ap. pears to us that the .English people have more reason than ever to wish that the French may be effectually beaten in the Peninsula.-- The triumph of Constitutional Spain would, in all seeming probability, avert ,from this country the necessity of entering at , no - distant date on a defensive war. If the French come out of Spain victorious, we shall be forced to come to blows With them 'at last. We were always of opinion that it would have been better to meet them at once on the south side of the Bidassoa, and to crush their projects of aggrandizem en t in the very bud, even although we might have hf e a charged with making common cause with Re volutionists. The time may soon arrive when the fall of the Constitutional Government in Spain (if it. does fall) •will be grievOusly deplored by some of those who now exult over the prospect of its overthrow, and when we shall be glad to make common cause with any power width is Able to assist us in maintaining a balance in Europe, and: iu upholding the rights and inde pendence of nations. • " OFFICIAL ARTICLE. " The Government has just learnt that on the 18th of last January, the Captain of the French frigate Le Tame landed r t 'the Castle of .St. John de Ullua, accompanied by two persons, presented to the Governor by the Captain in the character of merchants, who were only come to obtain mercantile informa tion. The recommendations of which they were the hearers • from their own Government, their having landed with sixty I • • trunks of baggage, and their besides having bills on Vera Cruz for . 16,000 dollars, indorsed hy. French merchants and by the public Finance Minister of the latter nation, led to some sus- . picions, and they were watched, in order that the real object of their mission might be ascertained when it . appeared.that the principal of the feigned merchants is a Colonel of En gineers, named Julien schmaltz, Knight of St. Louis, Extra ordinary Envoy of his Most Christian Majesty, besides .the Government of Mexico, and the other his Secretary. Achille de la Moue, Knight of the Order of Malta, with - an allowance of 20,000 dollars per annum ; that the instructions given by the Minister of Fortign Relations are confied to plans in order :to seduce the Mexicans, and to ascertain whether they are dis posed to receive, as their Emperor or King, one of the Bour bona of the reigning House in France ; the result of which the said emissaries are instructed to communicate to thbir Ministry by two frigates, which are to go at a seasonable time to Vera Cruz ; his Most Christian Majesty authorizing them to enter into such treaties of commerce as they may deem fit, in case the first object cannot be attained.
