OF BMICELON,A, AUG. 20.—RotW has got possession. of all the power: he commands despotically in Barcelonaond, supported by the „Reyolutionists, shews.an intention to defend -for a long ~limo . that important place ; but the means he employs are so violent, that ere long they cannot fall to rouse.a numerous population against him. Lust night he made an attack at three different times i:m the posts occupied by the 32d regiment, with cries of " Vive la Liberte!"—" Vive la Con. stitution !" Ile was repulsed 'vigorously, with cries of " Vive le Rol 1 ." In the ,morning the reconnoitering parties picked up more than 300 copies of four different addresses of the French refugees to pur faithful army. , One can only feel profound contempt for the authors of such pro auctions. At ten in the morning, the revolutionary bat. talions were seen to come forth from the gate of St. Anthony, and march along the ramparts of the town and . those of the citadel. .They were followed by all the cavalry and some pieces of artillery. If we had to do with other troops we should have reckoned on a vigorous attack on Gracia. The artillery thundered frem the ram parts, whence about 200 projectiles were dis charged, which only wounded one man. Our artillery returned the fire with more sue .c.ess. The enemy's columns halted; foi• an hour indecision seemed prevail among their Chiefs. Without tiering to bring their sharp-shooters, into action, they returned to Barcelona, where, 'in spite of their ordinary boasting, it would be difficult for them to make their blindest partisan; believe thnt they dare engage with our brave army. The batteries erected on thesen-side complete the blockade of Barcelona, by rendering it in ,possible for the small craft to enter the port. Butcher's meat is at 3O soot the.pound, and wine. at ten sous the bottle. FOURTH CORPS. VIAIIIII,ELLC (CATALONIA), AUG. 9.4. The enemy seems to intend to shut himself up in Tar ragona. On our approach, he retired under the walls of this fortress : he evacuated hens when he knew that we occupied Valz. To-morrow we approach Tarragona to form the blockade. The troops of the garrison of Figueras are ha rassed ; the ration has been reduced ; the dis vontent of the soldiers is continually increasing. San Miguel conceives himself to be threatened' with a mutiny. Ho says openly that he only can' be able to hold out till the end of September. General Count A. de Laroche Jacquelin has receLved the Cross of Commander of the Legion of -Honour, for his 'brilliant conduct before Co runup. (Prom the courier Francais.) A Journal having it - nnounced, some time ago, that detachments ,of foreign soldiers traversed France, prosecutions were directed against it, and the Ministerial Journals accused this newspaper uf•fulsehood. The ,Etoile this evening explains that thesu detachments, of which some in effect traversed Francis, and others embarked at Cher bourg, are destined to re-organize in Spain the corps of Walloon troops, who were disbanded in 8(20. letter from Brest, Of -Aug. 24, says, that " munitions of all sorts are continuallperabarked in Abut port to be transported-before Cadiz. ,The tw,o millions of piastres found in the Spanish ves sel Lalloloz Marianna, when it was captured by the Jean Bart, had been put .iu deposit at Brost, and were, it was said, to remain there till the validity of the prize was decided on ; but those two millions of piastres had just been shipped in a -vessel going to Cadiz. .Perhaps it is , 11- - ned that tin oirer-ito-ragtorti this sum for the hous e for it was destined, 'wilt tontribute to hasten the surrender of the place." At is not yet known how far the campaign has 1,44.41 glorious for the Chief of the Faith, lies bier ; hut we may believe it has not been with.; out profit to ititn. His father, who lives in.

We may see that, if civil discord has not enriched the Peninsula, those who have taken the greatest part in it have not been ruined.

W e are informed that the Constitutional army, leading with it 400 head of b o roed - cattle and 4 'or 500 mules, laden with ammunition and provisions, was at olsOtia On the . isgh, IVe are at the same time informed that Baron d'Erolcs, Saarsfield, Manso, and a French .Gerferai. whose tame is not mentioued ) are at Tons, thus cutting off the passageln lids direr= tion of the Constitutionalists, who desire to move towards the Seu d'Urgel. The ititention of Milans and Lloberas is to approach, it is said, Calaf, by 'l'ouaa and Nikons. A traveller says , that he saw a column moving in that direction." , Uangf.,`Auc UST 17.—The enemy yesterday quitted &risotto, without making any noise, at one o'clock in the morning, taking the direction of Calaf and Biosca. If the garrison of the Sorts of .Urgel expected to receive succour from Milans and. - Lloberas, they seem to have been mistaken. Dispositions were formed to wait for the enemy, iand to stop him with a noble confidence. Milans and Lloberaw have, therefore, thought proper not to move in this direction. It has not been neces sary to concentrate our troops, and the blockade continues uninterruptedly. PEIIPIGNAN, AtIO. 20.—We have learnt that Milans occupies the environs of 13erga. Is he going towards the Sen d'Urgel ? Will he repair to Figtteras, or will he endeavour to raise by this tnoveMent on the rear of our army the siege of Barcelona ? We shall not be long in knowing. In the menu time, measures have been taken by the Lieutenant-General ltottembourg to stop any hostile attempt on the French territory.— ,The day before yesterday the maga zi ne s o f fl our that we had at Figueras were moved to Peraluda. The garrison of Hostalrich lately made a sortie to carry off some oxen. They succeeded, biQ were attacked in their retreat, had some soldierS killed, and lost about 40 prisoners, among whom were some volunteers. These prisoners arrived on the 16th at Gironne, and are expected to-mor row at Perpignan. The transport of bombs and other projectiles from Narbonne still continues. . PERPIGNAN, AUG. 23:—According to a letter from Bergs, the enemy, on the lOth,was at Guis sane, he had a large quantity of oxen and hogs for the army. The rear was formed of the prin cipal exaliados, from the fear which Mulct's enter tains that his troops will desert. Their prejact at first was to carry the 200 wounded men they have with them to the Seu d'Urgel, but after witnessing our movements they went towards Lerida. The garrison of the port of Figueras, made a sortie on the 16th, to carry off some oxen which were feeding on the glacis. They succeeded, but lost some men, and were obliged to drag off the oxen by cords, us they were almost all killed by the musketry of our troops. The per sons who conducted the oxen there to feed are suspected of connivance with the garrison, and have been punished by a fine. PERPIGNAN, Auo. 23.—( Extract of Private Letters.)—" The [Loyalist Authoritii:s of Cata lonia, established 'at Manresa, pointed out by Baron d'Eroles as the seat of Government (pro visionally) for Catalonia, took to flight at the ap proach of the Constitutional army, commanded by and took refuge at Mataro. On the Bth they returned to their post. General Saarslield arrived at Mataro on the 17th, and left it on the 19th. This General, it is believed, is coming to France. The Marshal was at Grenolles on the IStb, going towards Vieth On the 00th he was still in the neighbourhood of this town. YUster. day the prisoners made at .Calder and at Maya arrived here, to the number of five ; one of them is a Lieut.-Colonel ; an Officer of Col. Gurrea's division, captured in Cerdagne, arrived here yes terday frOrn Avignon ; he is one of the 14 officers to he exchanged, in consequence of .a Convention agreed on with Mina. He:; is to embark at Port Vendre for Mataro, where all the officers are to repair. Colonel Gurrea assured them, before their departure, that Mina had written to him that another exchange was thought of, in which all the other officers of this division were to be included." The Constitutionnelgives the following as les on dils of the Ministerial saloons : " It is said that the Council of War, 'held at St. Mary's . immediately after the arrival of the Duke of Angouleme, dis. .cussed the question whether it would be proper to make, with.. out delay, a serious attack on the We of Leon. It is said, that after maturely discussing this important question, it was agreed that success ntiitt be expected, by combining the attac": in such a manner that it should take place at once by land and sea. It is said. that this idea prevailed in the Council, and that in pursuance the most precise orders were given; that every thing was in motion for the attack by land ; that all the flat-bottomed boats and gun-boats to be found on the coast were collecting and arming with every expedition ; and that It was expected it would be practicable to commence the bombardment on the 24th or 25th of August. " The Members of the Council of War adduced:in support of their opinion the hope which must be entertained that a al multaneout attack on the Isle of Leon, pushed with all pot ' Ale vigour, would necessarily cause a sensation within the walls of Cadiz, and would there produce some movement favourable to the French army. It is farther said, that this consideration is one of those which most contributed to the determination to make the attack by laud and sea. If these reports are well founded, decisive news may be speedily es.. pected. " The newsmorigert who repeat these rumours appear to speak with Some uncertainty on the Intentions of Ballasteros. They recollect that the military convention, or, if it must be so• called, the capitulation of that General was signed by the chief of his stall; and that nothing has since been heard of his having ratified it. The lust 'bulletin still repeats that the or. dors of General Ballasteros have been transmitted to the Go. vernorS of Carthagents and Alicant ; but that no answer could yet be received.' About a month has, however, elapsed since the convention with Ballasteros was signed by the chief of his stall'. The last bulletin also repeats that the troops of Ballasteros ar.) repairing to the cantonments assigned to them.' " These troops, then, are not destined to act hi the same manner as those of General Morino. The conventions con cluded with nallasteros are not, then, the same as those con eluded with the Count of Cartl►agcna. One circumstance seems to prove this to demonstration. We know that Mo rillo sent an aide-dc-camp to the Regency to notify the ar rangement which he had concluded, hut as yet nothing indi cates that there has been on the part of Ilallasteros any act of •submission towards the Government of Madrid." e retzret to state that the Duke of BucKtso lIAM, of Pall-mall, is indisposed at his seat in Hampshire.

[Extract of a Leiter from Palma, dated July 9.] , Our intrepid s.tilors are not idle, axd as they cannot have the pleasure of contributing to the extermination of the factious and their auxiliaries on the Continent, our privateers do them as much injury as they can in these seas. A few days ago the French brig. Amazon, richly laden with cotton, '&1.1., captured by the privateerJabat, was brought into Port Mahon. A polacre zebec has also been brought in, also a Sardinian cutter, &c. SAN FEHNANDO, JULY 26.—The enemy were yesterday formed in Chiclana, tothe number of 2,000. They continue working slowly in their lines, and in the Red Battery they have mounted a twelve-pounder. Our works go on with incre dible activity, anti in a few days will be concluded. Cum, JULY 26.—8 y telegraph we know that the enemy have been under . arms the whole night, from the 24th to the 25th, owing, no doubt, to the firing in advance of the Portasgo, respecting which the commander transmits the following re. port : " At twelve last night I was informed by our advance of the Cortadura, that a noise of artillery and waggons was heard on the road from Port Royal to Chiclana, and it was thought some cavalry were moving forwards. I put the men under arms, and gave information to the whole line, in order that they might be on the alert. Shortly after our fire commenced, and lasted for about an hour, which was briskly returned by the enemy, who suddenly disappeared. Observing in the morning that a column of cavalo and infantry were busily engaged in getting away a waggon, which had been left between their ad-: vance and ours, I sent out a guerilla party, and ordered a gun-boat to support them. I afterwards went forward with a small detachment, rind after some skirmishing the enemy with. drew to his lines, leaving the waggon in our hands, which ap pears to contain a forge, some ammunition, cannister shot, &c. " JOAQUIM DALMAN, Commander." CADIZ, JULY 2ii.—The French Cavalry in Poitt St. Mary's left there this morning for Xeres. CARD., JULY 27.—Another flag - of truce was yesterday sent in by General Bourdesoult, with a present of ice for the King. We cannot conceive which is the most strange, a ridiculous and importunate embassy of this kind, sent in at half past twelve at night, or the insult our enemies put on the Constitutional Mo narch of Spain, by supposing he does not wish to participate in all the inconveniences and privations caused to his faithful sub jects by the unjust and unheard of aggression of a foreign go vernment. The best of the joke is, that there was also some ice sent in to cool the burning ardour of General Valdes. How little do these Quixotic doctors know of the proper cases in which ice ought to be applied. General Valdes told the bearer, that although he was sensible of the attention paid him, he re quested the French General should be informed that, for many years, he had not made use of cold drinks, giving him to under stand that he dealt in warmer elements. How sold must the Chief of the Inquisitors have turned when he heard this lan gunge, so expressive, and truly Spanish. In the boat that brought the flag of truce was an ex-officer of the guards, in the Character of an interpreter, and belonging to the Army of the Faith, and, besides, a man known at all times for his bad conduct. Our General, filled with indignation, sent word to Bourdesoult, that if again another deserter from the national armies dared to come into his presence, he would hang him up on the highest yard-arm in the Bay ; and, the best of it is, Senor Valdes is a man who keeps his word. The French who went to A yamonte demanded of that town, by the way of a honne honcho. '200,000 rials as a contribution ; hut the A yamontese, who are not to he trilled with, rose up, and the intruders were glad to move off. This war is the fa rce o f liaising me Wind, for these Frenchmen thought, for so they had been told by Quesada and Company, that in coining to Spain they would be pelted with hard dollars. They'll soon have an opportunity of knowing how much they have been deceived. CADlZ, , e ittf. Y 2.l,—We understand, from persons who have conic in frdin the neighbouring towns in possession of the enemy, that they strengthened their lines in front of La Isla with both cavalry and infantry, afterour famous sortie of the lath. Thi s shears that the French do not consider themselves very SCCUre in their positions, after trying the mettle of some of our batta lions of the brave army of reserve. Wo also know, front the same channel, that the skeleton battalions of the guards, with Pantisco's party of the Faith, who were in Medina, have gone on to the high lands of Ronda. Those who have seen the said skeleton-battalions arc astonished at their insolence and want of discipline; both officers and soldiers are cursing the French, asserting that they take good care to keep on the high roads, and stop in the large towns, whilst they make the Royalist Spaniards go. by the paths and difficult places, and perform all the drudgery. We were/confident this would be the case. The French, or; entering Spain. proposed to themselves to carry on the war with Spaniards, looking upon all as their enemies.— Hence was it, that a French General, on being informed of the loss Bessiercs experienced before .Madrid,:. answered, the more the better. The partisans of the French will soon see the pay ment they will get from their auxiliaries, a t the.same time that the French will not be long before they learn what kind of people those are who have invited them to come over here, in order to re-establish the tidies—the gallows—the friars—and annul the sales of national property. an Anglo-American fri g ate c ame to JULYti morningiarboiir, having on board a new Miniiiter e nio 24,— o ' f f hi s the Plenipotentiary to our Government; but the French cruizers detained her, and compelled her to steer'towards the Straits.— Soon afterwards a boat left, the harbour, with th e A mer i can Charge d'Affaires on board, and having gone on hoard the Trench Admiral's ship, to learn the reasons why the American frigate was not allowed to enter, the. only answer be received was, that the said vessel was bound to Gibraltar. This conduct on thopart of the French Admiral appears very strange, for. a few clays before he allowed a Portuguese ftigate to „come in, also having on board an Envoy. Subsequently, Also, an English frigate has conic in. How is this then with the Americans ? • CADIZ, 3 trtir 23.—Nothing could have been more ener getic and successful than the measures adopted by the Govern ment for the , defence of this place. Notwithstanding the blockade, a full stock of provisions has been laid in for four .months, calculating all the troops and persons dependent on the Government. The wow were begun in good earnest, and have continued with the greatest activity, and they are now nearly completed. Ample supplies of money have not been wanting to meet all these expencee. Supplies of money and provisions have also been sent to Carthagena, Alicant, and Tarifa, and muskets, money and povisions have also been sent off to Mina. A letter from Xeres, of the 10th says, that the French have converted the Convent of La Merced into a hos pital, arid demanded 900 beds. They have also taken the Car thusian Convent for a hospital. We suspect the 000 beds above alluded to are for the 900 wounded in our last sortie. The few brave men we had wounded did not require hospitals, the inhabitants emulously wok them to their houses to take care of them. CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE SPANISI .COMMANDERS.

SOLEM QUIS DJCLItE FALSU2II AUDEAT ? LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1823. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. We have received by Express the 'lilac Paris Paper of yesterday, and the Eloile of Mon day. The subjoined important extracts fully conlir . rn all the statements which we have made, and the reasonings into which we have entered, for several weeks, respecting the real state of the question between France and Spain.

But we shall see the result of the combined attack'
