PARES PAPERS. (From the Journal «les Watt). MADRID, JULY 17. (n' AN EXTIIAOTIDINAILY CONVEYANCE.) M. Lecoulteux, the Duke d'Angouleme's Aide-de-camp, arrived yesterday evening from Port Santa Maria, which he 'tent on the 13th. This officer states, that the blockade was vigorously formed since the flotilla of gun-boats fitted out by Admiral Villa- Vicencio had - gone down from. Seville, Nothing now leaves the place, and nothing now enters it. 'Two large barks, which wished to enter Cadiz two days before the departure of this officer, were sunk. Bombs are preparing, and within twelve slays shells will begin to be thrown. Provisions, without being wanting, are becoming more scarce, and consequently.more dear. The population and the troops must hentetbrth be - liged to live on the magazines.. Great confusion reigns in the .town, and the most confident are of opinion.that, every thing will be over in a month, General Bordesoult daily sends the King a boat with fresh water, vegetables, and fruits. 'Hitherto the King's gaolers have permitted him to receive this homage. The Madrid Regency send the Duke of Villa llermosa to .Lisbon. 'A Portuguese General, the Aide-decamp of the In fanta Don Miguel, has arrived to compliment the Duke of An goolenie. Some persons even pretend that he will be acere dited to his Royal Highness, of whom he had an audience this morning. It is said that the Court of Lisbon offers its fleet and an army for the siege of It appears certain that Sir Wm. A'Court is not dispoSed to lend himself to the mockery of the pretended restoration of the _King at Cadiz, and that he has embarked.for Gibraltar. We are also assured that the. Danish Charge d'Affaires is on his re turn from Seville to Madrid.

[EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.] " ZANTE, JuNEID.—The intelligence from Constantinople , of the Itth instant is little tranquilizing. Since the Ottoman Torte has been informed of the war in Spain, it has conceived 'there are such grounds for secority that its pride has increased :in a manner most humiliating to the powers who have hither to sought to accommodate is. differenceit With Russia. It he . heves it sees Europe on the eve of one of those general wars, through the favour of which the Turks, separated from Euro pean policy, - obtain all they wish,' and inagme . that the Chris tian powers are too happy to have them. for friends. They, on - this ground, like Boom/parte, because he was the promoter of wars which caused the shedding of Christian blood ; and they 'tatter themselves that the :Inas of Spain will place them in a similar situation.. The Austrian Interrunicio may judge every day of the influence of this idea upon- the Members of the Di van. They .no longer give ear., to any . of his representivions, however just or pressing. The commerce of the Black Sea • is, in consequence, almost annihilated. " Lord Strangford,•not less ill treated, seems determined to postpone ail - his negociations; and it may be said Withont fear of exaggeration, that the Ambassadors of the Christian PoWers at Constantinople 'are no longer any thing • but the kind and mute witnesses of the operations of a Cabinet, infatuated with its power, and which follows all the erroneous wanderings of the Court Of the last of the Gesell of the Lower Empire. It is 'doubtful from alit), whether the magnanimity of the Emperor Alexander. can long ,accommodate itself to a state of affairs which places the commerce of Odessa et the mercy of the ca prices of the Ottoman'Porte. • Its impelicy makes him very ten sible that, without the possession of Constantinople, that of the :Tauric Chersonesus and of Bessarabia, is very precarious.- 4 his the Sultan does not comprehend, but it in certain that af lairs cannot - long remain as they um" Fi.ont the Consillutionnel.)

SPEECH OF COUUT THE AUS. ~ r ittAsr atims•rmt. / ";The Emperor my master, in sending toe to reside near the Recency' established at Madrid during the captivity of his Ca tholic Majesty, has wished to give to your Serene Highnesses, as well as to the whole Spanish nation, a new proof of the constant sentiments which have led to the union of his august 'Allies in labouring In the great work of the restoration of Spain, and which now induce him to desire that the Spanish Government should chew to all Europe its vigour, in unison with the principles, with the support,' and with the protection of the Alliance. We shall very soon see that cause triumph which we all defend, and for which France is now.making such great and generous sacrifices—we .shall witness the happy day when the-King,. restored to the affectionate desires of his peo ple, will be enabled to employ those persons whom his heart points out to him, in order to labour for the restoration of order and tranquillity in a nation which ..by so many tides merits repose and tranquillity. I Shall esteem myself happy if with my teeble talents, and with the aid of the superior intelli gence of my colleagues, i can contribute to accelerate that de sirable moment. The Regency of :Spain will always find the :Minister of the Emperor disposed to aid its efforts directed wards this grand object, and I shall congratulate myself if, by try zeal to execute the orders of his Majesty the Emperor and Ring, I can give to the Regency 4proof of my personal men. timents." The President of the Regency replied in the - name of this body, and expressed their gratitude towards the . Emperor of Austria, for the efficacious.meanswhich lie had employed, in trier to give liberty to their tutored Monarch, and to re,esta blish in Spain that social order which anarchy had destroyed, The President .added, that if the military rebellion, supported by a foreign loan of two: milliards, . and by succburs from all the Revolutionists of Europe, was hardly able to Sustain itself against the great majority of the nation attached to the cause of tiod, of Legitimacy, at Thrones, and of the fidelity of the people, this cause, now supported by the most powerful Mo. liarchs of the world, will triumph in the most remote corners of lbe earth ever the most depraved of sects, the most intimately united, the most cunning, and the wideA spread of all those xillich have ever appeared in the world fur .the misery of the human race. • • __ _ _ _ „..-- )I'lo C3ncludcd by expressing the pl,!asure which the Regency felt at t iming as the Representative of the Emperor of Austria a person so well known in Spun for his excellent principles, anti.

" RIK Majesty the King of Prussia, having condescended to choose me to reside at the Court of his Most Catholic Majesty, has at the same time invested me with full powers to treat with the Regency, during the captivity of that Sovereign, whose 'misfortunes are as afflicting to all Europe as they are calamitous to Spain. ' 6 I have the distinguished honour to present to the Regency these full powers, - expressing on the part of -the King, my inast-a, the lively, and sincere interest which he takes in the tuelandieiy situation - -of the generous Spanish nation, of this fission so religious, so faithful to honour. so loyal towards its 'Kings of tins nation which formerly acquired and merited the title of licroic. The - world does not new hope less from it, whew the ohjetl'is to relate its Sovereign from a powerful and tcbellion. •.- the King of Prusisia places muelt of his hopes on the ef forts of Spain, he does not place less on the decision, on the energy, end en the'pritdenec of die Regency . charged to direct these eilhrts. Both will concur with - an ally truly magnani mous, in completing an enterptise which has deserved the gra titude of the human race, for hr has only undertrken it, and only continues it with greet saerifwes, for the interest of the con set v give p n p es of social order. " Your Higlmesses will also have equal debris to the grati tude of the great family, for what other name can now be given to the great European society ? It presents the 'consoling proof of what can be effected to unite people; by probity, justice, and religion, seated on the throne, and allied by a reciprocal con firience Never was there seen a mate splendid triumph for virtue; Spain is worthy of taking her part in it, and she its in vited by the wishes of Europe." The President replied, by expressink the most lively grati tude for the interest which the King of Pnissia takes in the Spanish nation, for the eflints which .this Monarch has made to render it happy in liberating it from an anarchical faction which domineers over it, and which has thrown its beloved King into the prison where he now groans. The perseverance with which .'!!pain has recently maintained two wars to preserve untouched its honour and its fidelity, as well as the enthusiasm and cordial gratitude towards the magnanimous Louis X.V111., with which the Spaniards have received the French troops, furnish the most convincing proof' that the ardent wishes of the Spanish nation for the liberty of its Monarch, and its sen timents at' honour and loyalty, its attachment to the legitimacy of Thrones, are the same as those of the King of Prussia, anti the other Potentates of the great European Alliance. The President congratulates himself in being informed of the will of his Prussian Majesty, by a person animated by such noble sentiments and such excellent principles as Count Royer. The Gazette also contains a decree of the Regency, to cele brate annually on Sgptember 4th, a solemn service for the re pose of the soul of General Elio. A subscription is to be opened to erect a mausoleum for him. HEIDELIIERG, Jin.v 16.—1 t appears that what so much incensed Austria against certain Political Journals of Consti tutional Germany, was an article inserted in the Anodes d'Europc, edited by Murhard, and entitled Lcs Diplomates.— This article appears to have excited singular displeasure at Vienna, and the Directing Minister, in his ill humour, de manded the suppression of several Journals, in order to conceal his spite against one. It appears, however, that before coming to a final decision, the tendency of the Gazette dc Neckar, of the Journal published by M. Pahl, and the Annales of Mur hard, is to be watched during the recess of the Diet. The Prince de Metternich has, it is said, addressed a new Circular to the Austrian Ministers accredited to the Courts of Germany, on the conduct to be pursued in their reports relative to the general affairs of Germany. PARIS, JULY 23. 31. DE LA MENNAIS ON TOLERATION. The new Atibt of Clairvaux, the Torquemada, the hope of the nineteenth century, Al. de la Illennais, has published a more absurd article, if that be possible, than all that he has ever writ:en. It was said that the g2rm of liberal Ideas was in the Gospel, and this heresy was supported by M. de. Chateaubriand 111m self. M. de la Mennais„ in whose eyes the author of Martyrs and of Atala must doubtless be orthodox,.is astonished at this assertion. " Europe;" he says,." will never comprehend that " revolution is the developement of a germ which is to be found " in the Scriptures; it will never comprehend bow the laws of " the Convention, the "Directory, the . Empire and the Cortes " can be nothing but a commentary upon the Gospel." Neither will nations ever comprehend how the code of the Inquisition, which makes alaw, calling upon a son to denounce his father, can be a commentary upon the Gospel. When M. de 'la Mennais shall have explained this latter contradiction, it will give him the solutiOn of the'former, as it will shew to him how the union of knaves and fools produces the most atrocious crimes in the name and for. the triumph of the purest doc trines. •It would shew to him how a Robespierre, a Saint Just, a . llrirat, with a word in.their mouths, that of virtue, imagined it to be very salutary to destroy all who were not virtuous. arat, tsle2cially, with a high temperament, a vivid imagina tion, and who hollered himself sensible, thought that virtue ought to be intolerant towards vice; he could not comprehend why it should not be permitted to take off LOO heads to secure the repose of the .world, and he even thought it very economical to regenerate the human Species at that price. A man less foolish, but more wicked, with a mind narrow, envious, mis-. trustful, an eternal accuser, Robespierre employed the folly of Marat against those whom he hated ,• whilst the one de nounced masses, the other denounced individuals ; and both devoted to death whatever was most respectable upon earth. See bow the laws of the Convention have resulted from the Gospel. M. de la Mennais does not, he.says, call for the re-establish ment of thee - Inquisition in Spain; because he does not know whether it would be useful ; that is to say, that in certain cases it maybe useful, es it has been heretofore; and in case of a recognised utility, its re-establishment should be called for. It may be imagined, perhaps, that we misrepresent the idea or AL de la Mennais ; but to leave no doubt upon the point, this I,linister of the Gospel himself adds, "and we venture to "say,. it was a great happiness - for Westplalia that the Inqteisi "lion existed at the period when the Anabaptists interpreted " the Scriptures " - The Inquisition is known—it is the sacrifice of some hundred thousand victims to an opinion.; every opinion which believes itself to be true may therefore secure tranquillity by means of victims, and the establishertiof the dreadfUl revolutionary tri bunal might believe' that in establishing it, they secured the happiness of France. The consequence is inevitable, and all the succeeding declamations of M. de la Mennais cannot de stroy it. It agrees well with what he has said. The Inquisition was a benefit to Westphalia. M. de la Iklennaia then goes on Without restraint. " The " religion of Jesus Christ, be says, is intolerant. This is to " be found in • twenty place's in the Gospel. When it is thus " written, the • Liberaux raise shouts of indignation, as if ". new or extravagant proposition were advanced, or sonic blew " phemy put forth. Is not Religion a Law, and is not all " Law essentially Intolerant? Is it to be conceived that it " would tolerate the violation of its prohibitions or of its cons " meads?" The Memorial Bonk:al:I contains the following intelligence from Spain . . A Jrciurnal of yesterday contained the following Article :- 1 "Our' Correspondent at Augshurg writes us that the Baron de Lebeeltern, the Austrian Ambassador at Petersburgh., has informed his Government that the Russian Cabinet has ;re ceived from London a dispatch of so much importance, that It has given rise to several long conferences between the Count de Nesselrode and Sir Charles Begot, the British Ambassador. It is reported in some circles at I'etersburgh, that this dispatch relates to the affairs of Spain." (Front the Courier Francais.) Pants, JULY 23.—The Quotidianne does not draw back, we must render it this justice. Itessierea, attacking the relations of some Re,volutionists, appears to that Journal to act perfectly ac. cording to its principles of justice. " He will perhaps only reach (it says) some miserable wretchessullied with all sorts of crimes." Thus when a person is related to a Revolutionist, he is news. ssarily a miserable wretch, and may be punished without any trial. Titus individuals are no longer responsible for their own , crimes, but whole families are made to answer for them.— According to the Quolidienne, because , a brother or an uncle is a Revolutionist at Cadiz, a, brother or nephew may be mas. sacred on account of an event which he is ignorant—which be could not prevent, and which he may even condemn. This is the justice of the Quotidienne ; this is what it approves openly, without disguise, and expresses without circumlocution. It e congratulate ourselves on !laving brought it to this frank con. fession. It will be in vain hereafter to deny it. It has declared that it approved the proscription of innocent people when they were the relations of the guilty, that is to say, that on this point it lias surpassed in ferocity and injustice every thing of this kind which is most odious in history. The Memorial Bordidais gives the following details on the position of the different corps d'arintie in Spain :—Lieutenant- General Antichamp is still at Madrid. His division anti the corps of Marshal Oudinot, who is also there, consist only of the brigade of St. klilaite. The first brigade is with General VaUin at Cadiz, and die third is,now operating with General Bourck in Galicia. General Berthier is in pursuit of Campillo. Colonel Baron Clonet, -Commandant of the 19th Light Infantry, commands the blockade of St. Sebastian, in the place of Brigadier-General Baron Scheirer, who is gone to Santona, and till the arrival of Brigadier-General Count Mellet. The blockade of St. Sebes_ tian is formed by in 25th and 41st of the line, and-of the 19th Light Infantry;the whole about 3,009 troops. The Memorial Bearnais contains some details of an Wair which has not been officially mentioned. A corps of Constitu tionalists ban marched on Valencia, with the intention of mak ing themselves masters of that place; hut the French garrison, united with the Spanish Royalists, marched out to meet them, and completely defeated them. Those who escaped were to tally dispersed; and the tranquillity of Valencia, momenta rily disturbed, was perfectly re-established. It seems to us this affair is of too much importance to be wholly overlooked. A Journal of some weeks standing under the title of Or/Au/me, has already demanded, five-or six times, that every liberal journal should be suppressed. The Orifivanze lain the right, and it must be confessed, if' it. has not a great deal of genius in its articles, it has in its calculations; nobody reads the at:amine, and the reason is they rend other Journals. If they therefore were suppressed, the public, to have news, would read that paper. The Editors feel they can only live by the death of others, and may hope to be noticed when they have no com petitors. Having no chance of success with the public, it ap peals weekly to the severity of the Attorney-General. If this plan succeeds it will only cost some few calumnies and false accusations ; a means of success much more within the reach of the Editors of this Journal than those which are employed by other authors, such as patriotism, talents, respect for truth, and for the laws of politeness. GEN'Eva, Jura 13.—The publication of an incendiary writing, drawn nll by a Curt" of the Canton, against the Go. vernment and the Reformed Religionists of Geneve, was lately prevented. Every day the enemies of political and Tel i gl ° " liberty venture-to make fresh attacks on the Magistrates, who, pretend habitually t o b e i gnorant o f t h em , or to resent them with an indifference which has the appearance of weakness. Our military contigent will soon set out for the camp of the Place des Oates. Military exercises continue uninterruptedly in all the Cantons of Switzerland. SPAIN. Ittrorotr., Juc.v 17.—The accounts from Madrid say, that there is considerable fermentation in that capital, on account of the - successiVe departure of troops, and a report Which is in cireulation, that the head-quarters will be removed to Seville. Should this take place, a .very strong garrison will be required to keep the populace in check, who will commit the greatest excesses. It is reported ,that Ballasteros has entered Anda lusia with 2.1,00 men, and that he has been joined by the troops of Lopez Banos and Alava. On leaving the -country where he has been for some time, he has thrown troops into A Malt and Carthagena, .and left numerous Guerillas in the I country to harrass GenerAl Molitor, who occupies so extensive a line that he can hardly undertake any thing decisive. The troops that come now are for the Army of Reserve, tinder Marshal Lauriston, which is to besiege Pampeluna, St. Sebastian, and Santona, as soon as it is sufficiently stron.— With respect to the latter place, it seems that the troops of the Faith that blockaded it hare suddenly dispersed, and the French General has been obliged to send troops to Supply their place. The .20th regiment sets out to-day for Spain. Letters from Saragossa say, that a report had been spread there of the death of Mina at Barcelona_, but there is every appearance of this news being false. The Bishop of Tarragona, who has been long in this city, is gone to his diocese. The following is an extract of a letter from Madrid, dated July 13:— " It is very difficult to form a correct idea of the situation of the Peninsula, considering the violence of the parties and the want of authentic accounts, official as well as private, for every body sees things in his own way, and it is impossible to form any correct notion without having some solid data. " It may be affirmed that there are four different parties in Spain :-Ist. The violent Constitutionalists, which is in.. creased by the severe measures of the Regency ; 2d. the mo derate Constitutionalists ' • 3d. the violent and fanatic Royal ists; 4th. the moderate Royalists. The Afrancesados, who expected a better order of things, being disappointed in their hopes, have abandoned the cause of the Regency, and remain neuter, except some of the military, who have taken up arms for the Faith, merely to better their situation. " The first of these tour parties is resolved to combat the enemies of the public liberty, and has in its ranks at least 80,000 combatants—that is, including the garrisons of thirty fortresses which are in its possession. The second ardently de sires to see an end put to the miseries of war, by an honourable arrangement. The third hopes for the restoration of absolute power, with the Inquisition ; and the fourth wishes to see the King governing by wise and religion* laws. The mass of the nation are tranquil spectators of this struggle, with the excep tion of some wretches, who have been seduced by the agents of the Faith to raise the cry of absolute power, the Inquisition, and murder. The implacable hatred of these two parties will tend to prolong the war. The Journals of the Regency and the French bulletins do not give sufficient information respecting the military occur rences ; und, though we reject the absurd and alarming reports that are circulating here, it cannot be denied that the French army is in what military men call u false position, because any serious check might lead to the necessity of evacuating the Capital and abandoning Andalusia. There is no doubt that the force of Bordesoulle, which is 10,000 men, including the Royalists, is sufficient for the present to blockade Cadiz ; but it is necessary to keep Ballasteros in check, who, after putting ,llicant and Carthagena in a state of defence, left a division of 3,000 men on the right of the Xucar, and marched towards Grenada with 8,000 men. . . " Another Constitutional division of 4,000 men is in the pro. vince of Cuenca; its Guerillas entered Somo Sierra, the province of Madrid, and have marched almost to the gates of the capital. The Royalist division of Bessieres, which was sent to combat:it, has been completely beaten near Cuenca,and it has been necessary to send French troops to support him, while others left Madrid four days ago for Ciudad Real and Talavera, so that our garri son amounts to little more than 2,000 infantry and 400 horse, French, and a body of 1,000 men, Spanish Royalists, which is organizing, but will be hardly formed into a regiment, unless the Duke's treasury pays the expence. " Badajoz is in a respectable state of defence ; and the Allied column of 1,500 men, which was sent to blockade it, has not been able to effect its purpose. The fortress has become the point d'appni of various Guerillas, who scour Andalusia and Estremadura; while Ciudad Rodrigo protects the Constitu tionalists of Old Castile, the Guerillas of which daily attack Salamanca, Zamora and Toro, make excursions on the banks of the Douro and in the plains of Valladolid, and seek merely to keep the people in check, and to harrass the garrisons and columns of the Allied troops. " The communications between the Portuguese Cabinet and the Regency:at Madrid are very frequent, and it seems there ix an intention of forming on the banks of the Minho an expedition to act against the Constitutionalists of Galicia, the command of which, it is-said, will be given to Aniarante. We know that a great number of Royalists have emigrated from Galicia to Portugal, and that at Valencia, on the Minho, a kind of Spanish Committee of the Faith has been formed, with a view to excite an insurrection in the provinces of 'ruy and Orense. " The Constitutional corps which guarded the entrance of the Asturias, have been diminished by desertion, and obliged to yield after some combats; about 704) have retired towards Poles, the rest to Galicia. Some bands in Soria and Rioja are too weak to oppose the Royalist columns, chiefly composed of Na tional Guards, some of them commanded by priests. The three provinces of Navarre are tranquil. The accounts Mont Arragon confirm the march of Molitor towards Murcia, and say it will be difficult for that General to maintain himself on so extensive a line. " Itallasteros has experienced some desertions in his retreat; and It is Kidd to be the L)uke's plan to send against him all the troops that can be spared, in hopes of destroying hint in Anda. lusia. The retort of Mina's death becomes more po s iti ve . " Ratan, Milans, Llober, and St. 11ligitel have 10,000 men at Barcelona • it is thought that they will suffer the place to be blockaded, and go with their main force elsewhere.' (Extract of a letter frees Bevllle, dated Jane 25.) " You can have no idea of the distracted state we have been in for the last ten days, in consequence of the events which have occurred here. The retreat of the Spanish Re. volutionary Gen. Lopes Banos, on the advance of the French, was g signal for the renewal of the disorders which had taken place on the first retiring of the Cones, and the mercan. tile houses and private dwellings were close shut up, to avoid as much as possible the outrages of the lowest of the rabble, who ran about the streets uttering h orr ibl e cr i es and threats, and threatening a general desolation to those whose wealth and consequence pointed them out as con. spit:nous objects for plunder and vengeance. During this' period, as I have related, the shops, and all the mercantile lnushut up, and commerce was entirely aitassel were closed.Nolrson paid or received bills or money, all peisons were occupied in concealing their property and valu ables, and, es it' by universal consent, the whole business of this populous city was totally at a stand. Many of the leading inhabitants took refuge on board the shipping, and others left the place entirely for Gibraltar. 'This scene of riot and confusion was however put an end to by the entrance of the French troops, who in some measure restored tranquillity ; and the business of the place, if not conducted with its former unembarrassed alert ness, at least proceeds with some degree of regularity. This pacific disposition will, probably, last while the French troops remain here; but their departure, it is feared, will occasion a re.action of the disorder, and men here are timidly awaiting the result." FRENCH A HAY. BRUSSELS, JULY 19.—We have said that the French Government had ordered the formation of several new regiments of infantry. The 64th, which is organizing at Lille, received its colours a few days since. On the other baud, troops of every description continue to be detached from the northern frontiers to reinforce the army in Spain. Among the corps which have marched within these few days, are four squadrons of chasseurs on horseback, of the allies, which have marched from Mentz for Bayonne. France has taken the opportunity of the war with Spain to augment its army, which is daily increased by new levies, and the formation of new regiments. The.fa:lowing is at present its effective force : Royal Guard, composed of above 20,000 men, all chosen troop?. Infantry of the line, 130,000 men under arms. Swiss regiment; 10,000 men. Legion of Prince Hohenlohe, 3.000 men. Cavalry, 30.00, not including 3,000 officers' horses. Gendarmerie, 14,000 men. This list does not include the Artillery, the re giments of Engineers ) and the Light Infantry.— (Flemish Paper). PRICE 0 . THIS DAY AT STOCKS NE O'CLOCK. India Stock India Bonds 58s. 595.

We have at length the satisfaction of laying before our Readers the gratifying intelligence of the REPULSE OF THE FRENCH AT CORUNNA,WITH CONSIDERABLE LOSS, and of the RETREAT OF THEIR ADVANCED TROOPS from before that place. The opinion which we formed, on the first accounts furnished by the passengers who arrived by the Augusta, was therefore correct; and their state ment that the French had " entered" Corunna on the lath, although they added," report says that the French had the worst of it," is proved to have bad no other foundation than in the panic-struck imaginations of persons hurrying on board a vessel in the moment of an assault by an armed force upon the town which they were quitting. The present cheering intelligence of the discomfiture of the assailants has been trans mitted to LLoYD's, and was obtained from a Spanish vessel which left Corunna on the morning of the 18th, and arrived yesterday at Bristol. The retreat of the French cannot fail to have an important influence over the fate of the war, not only in Galicia, but throughout the Peninsula. flow much might have been accomplished if Moutt..r.o had been faithful to the cause of the Constitution ! Bad Galicia contained another MINA, there , can be no doubt but the Fre►;ch would ere this have been in full retreat fro►tt Andalusia and Madrid. There is ground of hope that even yet the brave resistance of Corunna will awaken such a spirit in Galicia as must render the situation of the greater part of the French army (already confessedly unsafe) sn dangerous as to compel the Duke d'ANGOULEME to concentrate his scattered divisions, and to retrograde to his former position on the line of the Ehro,—a movement, by-the bye, which was but recently announced as pro bable in one of the French accounts, and the execution of which was, perhaps, only prevented by the certainty with which the submission of Galicia was calculated upon after the defection of MonILLo! The following is a copy of the notice received at LLOYD'S, this morning, from Bristol : [FROM LLOYD.V.] " BRISTOL, JULY 25.—Arrived the Alreveda, CORTIENO, from Corunna ; sailed on the more• ng of the 18th instant with Dispatches. Up o that period the attempts of the French upon Corunna had been repulsed with consi►lerable oss, and their advanCed troops were retreating." We have still to regret that the information contained in the above notice, like that of all the accounts hitherto received from Corunna, is so ex cessively scanty and inexplicit. Thus, if it were not for the fact that the French were retreating, we should have been led to suppose, from the expression of 44 up to that period" (the morn ing of the 18th), the attempts of the French had been repulsed, that they still continued their assaults upon the place, and that the issue of the conflict was therefore still doubtful. And thus, too, we are left in ignorance of the cause of the retreat of the assailants. A retreat is by no means a necessary result of the failure of an attack upon a fortified place. In the in stance before us, nothing, we apprehend, but the most imminent danger could have in duced the French force to withdraw from before Commie, although the failure of their efforts to carry it by assault might have induced them to desist from that mode of attack. Has their retreat been occasioned by the approach of a Consti tutional force for the relief of Corunna ? Had the 3,000 Spaniards, alleged to have been united to the French by Mottir.Lo, revolted on witness ing the heroic defence of their countrymen in Corunna ? Had the French received disastrous accounts from their flank, or from Madrid, which rendered their position in Galicia unsafe ? Or had they been to weakened by their losses in the actions before the walls, that the garrison were enabled in their turn to become the assailants, and to pursue the vanquished enemy in the field ? These are questions which cannot be solved until the receipt of further and more explicit intelli gence from a quarter in which the hopes for the cause of Spain are now in a great degree centered. e have in our preceding columns given co pious extracts from the Paris Papers of Wednes day.—We subjoin the fast official Report from Major-General Count GUI LLEMINOT. It is evi dent that the defection of MoniLLo was consi dered at head-quarters decisive of the fate of Galicia, although the very remarkable and sus picious circumstance that the accompanying Bul letin of the operations of Generals BOUnCE and II C BERT is undated, induces us to think that the Major-General has suppressed the sdetails of some unpleasant events which had come to his knowledge. [From Mc Moniteur of Wednesday last—Official Part.] REPORT OF THE MAJOR•GENERAL' OF THE ARMY OF THE PYRENEES TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. MADRID, JULY 17• " MY Lone—Conformably to the hope which I expressed to your Excellency in my report of the 12th, General Idorillo has renounced the defence of the cause of the Cortes. General Bourck found him at Lugo on the 10th of this month ; they have made together suitable arrangements for the operations in Galicia, and one of his confidential officers has just come to his Royal Highness to give assurances of the devotedness .of his General, and to declare that he recognises the Regency to which he brings dispatches. Your Excellency will find annexed the last Proclamation of General hlorillo, dated July 8. At the same time he bas sent orders in all directions to endeavour to recal to their duty the several revolutionary detachments which before made part of the corps under his command. .... " The result of the news which 1 . announce to your Excel lency has been the entrance of our troops into Galicia, with out experiencing a resistance which the natural obstacles tlu t defend that province seemed to announce. It cannot fail be sides to have an influence on the surreuder of Coruuna, and the pacification of all that part of Spain. " General 3lorillo has joined the troops of General Bourck with 3000 men. The greatest demoralization prevails among those that have abandoned him. It is to be hoped also that his example will be followed by other Generals who still obey the Cortes. " According to the last reports from General Bordesoulle, the blockade of Cadiz is now as well formed by sea as by land. Thus the population and the troops will be reduced to subsist on the magazine. Labourers are employed night and day at Seville in the ports and fleet to organhe the light vessels, and whatever can promote the operations ; all the Spanish workmen and materials that can be procured are made use of. -1 " It seems that the greatest misunderstanding prevails at St. Sebastian among the officers, and even among the troops of the garrison. The brigade of Schoeffer having been relieved ly fore that place, by that of the two corps of reserve, command ed by 31. de Menet, it has marched to take its position before Santonia. 64 y our Excellency will find the Bulletin of the Army an nexed. " The Major. Gen. COUNT GUILLEMINOT•" BULLET' N. " Lieutenant-Gen. Count Bourck announces to his Royal Highness that he arrived at Lugo on the 10th, and was perfectly well received by all the population of that town and neighbour. hood. Gen. Morino, who had let him know some days before that he would fulfil the conditions on which Count Dour& was authorised to receive his proposals, waited for him at Lugo, in order to arrange with him the measures to be adopted, that his troops might act in concert with ours. In consequence of this conference, the movement upon Corunna commenced upon the 12th. One of the superior officers of General Morino's , staff has been sent to his Royal Highness, to inform him of. ficially, that that General and the troops that he commandi recognize the Regency, during the captivity of his Catholic Majesty. " General Huber, who has not ceased to pursue the remnants of the corps beaten by him, as well as by General d'Albignac, in the Asturias, has entered Galicia, proceeding along the sea coast. His vanguard had on the 7th a brilliant affair at Navia, after having passed the river of that name. M. de Richepanse,. Lieutenant in the Ilussars of the North, at the head of a de tachment of thirty horse, charged the enemy's rear-guard. 200 strong, dispersed it, and about 100 men having entrem - hed themselves behind an inelosure, he penetrated into it with the utmost vigour, accompanied by the Brigadier Bezieax and the Hussar Salle of his regiment, and the Chasseur: Lace and Perrin, of the 17th ; after prodigies of valour these brave men put this troop to flight, the rout of which was completed by the arrival of the remainder of the little squadron of M. do Richepanse. Eighty prisoners, among whom are Colonel Erica, of Engineers, who . directed the operations of Campillo and of Palarea, three other officers, a standard, sixteen horses, 200 muskets, and two drcw.s, were the result of this affair, which does much honour to those who were engaged in it. The enemy left eleven killed on the field, and had a good many wounded. The Chasseur Luce was wounded by a mus ket ball. " After having made the rest of the troops pass the Navia Gen. Iluber continued his movement; he arrived on the Bth at Figueiras ; he immediately met Count de Benumitz, com manding his Vanguard to pursue the enemy towards Mondo nedo, where Gen. Albignac arrived soon afterwards. Gen. Hu ber, after having sent some troops in the direction of Ferrol, proceeded himself to Mondonedo, where he was when Gen. Bourck entered Lugo. The defection of the troops is complete in the ranks of the Revolutionists of Galicia, and deserters are picked up on all sides. General Wesson, commanding the Third Milliary District, and Colonel Villanueva, have pre sented themselves to General Huber, and made their submis•
